Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coil conveying, and more particularly to a tensioning device for tinplate coils. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, large roll material processing machines such as coating machines, laminating machines, and composite machines are generally equipped with tensioning mechanisms during the roll material conveying stage. Their function is to ensure that the conveyed roll material has sufficient tension and to prevent the roll material from slipping on the drive rollers inside the processing machine or from generating excessive deflection between the idler rollers.

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN211310334 discloses a tensioning device for roll material conveying, including a tensioning mechanism comprising a fixed pressure roller, a movable pressure roller, a guide roller, and an adjusting device. The fixed pressure roller and the movable pressure roller are rotatably mounted on the frame, and the fixed and movable pressure rollers cooperate to press the roll material. The adjusting device is mounted on the frame and is used to adjust the distance between the fixed and movable pressure rollers. This utility model reduces slippage of the roll material during tensioning by adjusting the distance between the movable and fixed pressure rollers using an adjusting cone.

[0004] In actual production, the conveying direction and output direction of the coil are the same. Therefore, the coil will first pass between the moving pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller, and then wrap back onto the guide roller before being conveyed to the subsequent equipment. At this time, the coil forms an S-shaped path in the tensioning device, so that the coil can have a tensioning effect. Therefore, in the actual feeding process, the workers need to pre-load the end of the coil around the fixed pressure roller and the guide roller in sequence. Tinplate coil has high hardness and toughness and can withstand bending and stretching changes. It is difficult for workers to feed and fit the tinplate coil into an S-shaped path. Tinplate is prone to springback, which threatens the safety of workers. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate the feeding of tinplate coils and ensure the safety of workers, this application provides a tensioning device for tinplate coils.

[0006] This application provides a tensioning device for tinplate coils, which adopts the following technical solution: A tensioning device for tinplate coils includes a frame, a pressure roller clamping assembly, a guide roller, and an adjusting assembly. The pressure roller is rotatably connected to the frame. The clamping assembly is used to press the coil that passes over the pressure roller onto the pressure roller. The adjusting assembly includes two sliding sleeves and a driving component. The guide roller is coaxially arranged with the pressure roller. Both ends of the guide roller are rotatably connected to the sliding sleeves. The sliding sleeves are slidably connected to the frame. The driving component can be used to move the sliding sleeves to the other side of the pressure roller.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a guide roller that can be moved by a sliding sleeve and a driving component is set up. During the feeding stage, the guide roller can be moved to the other side of the pressure roller by the driving component, reducing the operational obstacles of the roll material going around the roller body. After feeding is completed, the guide roller is moved back to the working position, which reduces the safety risks caused by the roll material rebound during manual feeding. At the same time, the basic tension function of the roll material is guaranteed by the cooperation of the pressure roller, the pressing component and the guide roller.

[0008] Optionally, the sliding path of the sliding sleeve is an arc, with the axis of the pressure roller as the center and the distance between the guide roller and the pressure roller as the radius.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding path of the sliding sleeve is defined as an arc with the axis of the pressure roller as the center and the distance between the guide roller and the pressure roller as the radius. This design ensures that the distance between the guide roller and the pressure roller remains constant during the movement process. This facilitates the switching of the guide roller position during feeding and maintains the stability of the roller distance required for the tension of the roll material during the switching from feeding to the working state. It avoids tension fluctuations caused by the movement of the guide roller and ensures the consistency of the tensioning effect.

[0010] Optionally, the driving component includes an arc-shaped rack, a drive motor, a drive base, and a drive gear. The arc-shaped rack is coaxially arranged with the sliding path of the sliding sleeve and is mounted on the frame. The drive base is slidably connected to the frame along the sliding path of the sliding sleeve, and the sliding sleeve is rotatably connected to the drive base. The axis of the drive gear is parallel to the axis of the arc-shaped rack, and the drive gear is rotatably connected to the drive base. The drive gear meshes with the arc-shaped rack, and the drive motor is used to drive the drive gear to rotate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, using structures such as arc-shaped racks, drive motors, and drive gears, a precise and stable power drive method is provided for the movement of the guide rollers. By driving the drive motor to rotate along the arc-shaped rack, the guide rollers can move smoothly along a preset arc path, replacing manual adjustment, improving the degree of automation of operation, reducing the frequency of manual contact with the roll material, further reducing safety hazards, and ensuring the accuracy of guide roller position adjustment.

[0012] Optionally, the adjustment assembly further includes a locking element, which includes a locking block and a locking cylinder. The locking block is slidably connected to the frame in a horizontal direction, and the locking cylinder is used to drive the locking block to move. The locking block is used to support the sliding sleeve when the equipment is in operation.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking component supports the sliding sleeve when the equipment is working, which solves the problem that the guide roller may shift due to vibration or tension during operation. It also reduces the force on the drive motor, extends the service life of the drive motor, and the supporting effect of the locking block can stabilize the position of the sliding sleeve and the guide roller, ensuring the structural stability of the tensioning device during operation, avoiding tension fluctuations in the roll material or equipment failure caused by the displacement of the guide roller, and improving the working reliability of the device.

[0014] Optionally, when the equipment is in operation, the highest point of the pressure roller is higher than the highest point of the guide roller, and the lowest point of the guide roller is lower than the lowest point of the pressure roller.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the height relationship between the pressure roller and the guide roller under the working state is limited, so that the roll material naturally forms a reasonable S-shaped path between the two. This path increases the contact area between the roll material and the roller body, ensures that the roll material is subjected to sufficient tension, and reduces the contact between the feed end of the roll material and the guide roller and the discharge end of the roll material and the pressure roller.

[0016] Optionally, the pressing assembly includes a pressing frame, a movable pressure roller, and a pressing cylinder. The pressing frame is rotatably connected to the machine frame, and the rotation axis of the pressing frame is parallel to the rotation axis of the fixed pressure roller. The movable pressure roller is rotatably connected to the pressing frame, and the rotation axis of the movable pressure roller is parallel to the rotation axis of the pressing frame. The pressing cylinder is used to change the distance between the movable pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping assembly adjusts the distance between the moving pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller through the clamping cylinder, which solves the clamping requirements of tinplate coils of different specifications; by flexibly adjusting the pressure of the moving pressure roller, it can ensure that the coil is stably clamped and avoid slippage, while adapting to diverse production scenarios and improving the versatility of the device.

[0018] Optionally, the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame, and the piston rod of the clamping cylinder is rotatably connected to the clamping frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder body of the pressing cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame, and the piston rod is rotatably connected to the pressing frame, making the pressing cylinder more flexible when driving the pressing frame to rotate, and avoiding motion interference problems caused by mechanical hard connection; this design ensures the smoothness of the adjustment process of the moving pressure roller, reduces component wear, and improves the service life and operational reliability of the pressing assembly.

[0020] Optionally, the dynamic pressure roller is covered with a rubber coating to reduce hard contact with the roll material.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a rubber layer is wrapped on the dynamic pressure roller, which solves the problem of surface scratches caused by hard contact between tinplate rolls and metal rollers; the elasticity of the rubber layer can buffer the pressure and protect the surface quality of the roll; at the same time, it increases the friction between the roller and the roll, further preventing the roll from slipping, thus taking into account both product quality and tension stability.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The design of the guide roller being able to move to the other side of the pressure roller via the drive component facilitates the feeding of tinplate coils. During the feeding stage, the guide roller avoids the coil path, reducing operational obstacles. After feeding is completed, it moves back to the working position, avoiding personnel safety threats caused by the high hardness and easy rebound of tinplate, reducing the risk of manual contact with the coil, and improving feeding efficiency by replacing manual adjustment with automated drive. 2. The guide roller moves along an arc path centered on the axis of the fixed pressure roller, ensuring that its distance from the fixed pressure roller remains constant. The height relationship between the fixed pressure roller and the guide roller allows the roll material to naturally form a stable S-shaped path, increasing the contact area to provide sufficient tension. Secondly, the locking component supports the sliding sleeve during operation, preventing the guide roller from shifting due to vibration or tension. The pressing assembly adjusts the distance of the moving pressure roller through a cylinder to adapt to the pressing requirements of different roll materials. These multiple designs work together to ensure the consistency of the tensioning effect and the stability of the equipment operation. Attached Figure Description

The guide roller 4 moves to one side of the fixed pressure roller 2. The operator first passes the coil through the fixed pressure roller 2 and the moving pressure roller 32, and then it is located below the guide roller 4. The drive component 52 is started again, and the drive component 52 drives the guide roller 4 to move along the path of the arc groove 11 to the other side of the fixed pressure roller 2. At this time, the coil forms an S-shaped path. Finally, the pressing cylinder 33 drives the pressing frame 31 to move, so that the moving pressure roller 32 presses the coil.
