Laminator Guide Sheet Structure for Anti-Jamming Film Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional laminators face issues with anti-jamming film structures that are difficult to assemble, leading to poor production efficiency and potential damage to rollers due to misalignment of steel wires with slits.
Innovation Solution
A laminator design featuring a lamination element with anti-jamming film structures and guide sheets that are easily engaged in slits, allowing for smooth assembly and reducing the risk of roller damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If steel wires are rolled on wire rods to form wire sections for anti-jamming film structure, then the anti-jamming function is achieved, but the assembly becomes troublesome and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wire sections from the anti-jamming film structure and relocates them to the guide sheets. The guide sheets are made with through-slits that directly receive the wire sections, eliminating the need for complex wire rolling operations while maintaining the anti-jamming function through the guide sheet's structural design
Solution Approach 2:
The guide sheets serve as an intermediary component between the wire sections and the roller slits. The guide sheets with their through-slits act as mediators that facilitate the engagement of wire sections with the roller slits, simplifying the assembly process while ensuring proper alignment and function
2Manufacturing precision
If wire sections are engaged into slits of rollers with high connection accuracy requirements, then the anti-jamming structure is stable, but the assembly becomes difficult and roller damage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the guide sheets into multiple sections with through-slits positioned at specific locations. This segmentation allows the wire sections to be engaged into individual slits of different rollers independently, reducing the alignment difficulty and preventing roller damage while maintaining connection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a planar wire arrangement to a three-dimensional configuration where guide sheets with through-slits extend axially. This dimensional change allows wire sections to be engaged from multiple directions, facilitating easier assembly while maintaining precise connection to the roller slits

AI summary
A laminator contains: a case, a lamination element, and a motor. The lamination element includes a first shell, a second shell, a first roller, and a second roller. Each of the first shell and the second shell has a cavity, and a laminating channel is defined between the first shell and the second shell and passes through the lamination element. The cavity has at least one anti-jamming film structure horizontally passing through the opening thereof and configured to separate the opening from the laminating channel. An anti-jamming film conduit is defined between any two adjacent anti-jamming film structures and stacks in the laminating channel to prevent the film rolling into the cavity. The cavity has two limiting portions, and the anti-jamming film structure has multiple guide sheets. In addition, each of the first roller and the second roller has multiple slits.
