Generally, after a piece of cloth or fabric is subjected to one step of a process, it is taken up or carried by a roller for the next step of the process. At this time, the position of the cloth on the roll may be shifted. Therefore, in the prior art, an Edge Position Controller (EPC) is used to guide the Position of the cloth. In detail, the edge-aligning controller is also called edge-aligning machine, edge tracker, etc. which uses a sensor to detect the edge of the cloth (or other materials) and cooperates with the driving device to keep the cloth in the correct position during the manufacturing process.

In addition, in the impregnation process, after the base fabric is coated with the sizing material, the base fabric is generally heated and baked by one or more ovens (or ovens) to cure the sizing material. However, after the cloth passes through the oven, wrinkles or shriveling often occur due to changes in ambient temperature. As a result, the yield of the cloth product is affected and the productivity is reduced.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

First, please refer to fig. 1 to 3. Fig. 1 to 3 are a schematic perspective view, a schematic side view and a schematic top view of a cloth swinging mechanism M according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawings, the cloth swinging mechanism M provided by the present invention at least includes a bracket 1, a roller 2, a pair-side controller 3, a linear moving device 4 and an adjustable cylinder 5. Details of the above components are described further below.

The cloth swinging mechanism M provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be one of the components of a processing apparatus, such as an immersion machine. For example, in terms of the sequence of the process steps, the cloth swinging mechanism M may be disposed after the impregnation device for impregnation and the oven for drying in the impregnation machine, and before the winding device for winding the product in the impregnation machine. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the piece goods swinging mechanism M is arranged between the oven and the winding device of the impregnation machine. In other words, the cloth swinging mechanism M can be used for receiving the cloth sent out from the oven and then transferring the cloth to the subsequent stage of the manufacturing process.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the support 1 of the cloth swinging mechanism M may be a frame for supporting other components disposed thereon. In addition, the support 1 can be used to connect the cloth swinging mechanism M to a machine or equipment equipped with the cloth swinging mechanism M, such as other parts or components of the immersion machine. The shape and material of the stent 1 are not limited in the present invention. In one embodiment, the stand 1 is part of the overall frame of the impregnation machine.

Then, the roller 2 is disposed on the frame 1, and the roller 2 is used for carrying the cloth S. Specifically, the cloth swinging mechanism M provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be used in a processing apparatus using glass fiber cloth as a base cloth, and the cloth carried by the drum 2 may be glass fiber cloth coated with a sizing material. In other words, the web S carried by the drum 2 may be a semi-finished product from a previous process step of the impregnation machine, and the web S may be sent to a next process step after passing through the web swinging mechanism M. In the present invention, since the cloth swinging mechanism M may be disposed behind the oven, the drum 2 may be a cooling drum.

It should be noted, however, that in the embodiment of the present invention, the roller 2 may be connected to the frame 1, but may be displaced relative to the frame 1 according to the process requirement, for example, the roller 2 may swing relative to the frame 1. For example, in one embodiment, the drum 2 may oscillate back and forth relative to the frame along the direction R shown in fig. 2. In other words, the drum 2 can oscillate back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the direction D of travel of the cloth. The drum 2 may swing at an angle ranging from 120 to 150 degrees. The roller 2 may be driven by a hydraulic cylinder connected to the roller 2 as a driving device to generate displacement or deflection. Details about the driving means connected to the drum 2 will be described later.

As described above, the cloth swing mechanism M according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes the opposite side controller 3. The opposite-side controller 3 includes a sensor 31 and a roller driving device 32. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the sensor 31 of the opposite side controller 3 is connected to the carriage 1 by the linear moving device 4. The roller driving device 32 is connected to the roller 2, and in the preferred embodiment, the roller driving device 32 is a hydraulic cylinder.

Specifically, the linear moving device 4 of the cloth swinging mechanism M is connected to the frame 1, and since the components of the linear moving device 4 are reciprocated relative to the frame 1, the sensor 31 provided on the linear moving device 4 is reciprocated relative to the frame 1 by the linear moving device 4.

For the arrangement of the components related to the sensor 31 of the opposite-side controller 3, please refer to fig. 4 at the same time. Fig. 4 is a schematic side view of a part of the edge controller 3 in the cloth swinging mechanism M according to the embodiment of the present invention. Further, as shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cloth swinging mechanism M further includes a connecting frame 6. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the connecting frame 6 is connected between the linear moving device 4 and the support 1. In addition, the sensor 31 of the opposite side controller 3 is connected to the linear moving device 4 through the fixing member 7. In detail, the fixing member 7 includes a fixing base 71 and a sensor fixing base 72 connected to the fixing base 71. The sensor fixing bracket 72 may be a long rod-shaped member for fixing the sensor of the opposite-side controller 3 thereto.

Please also refer to fig. 4. The linear motion device 4 includes a slide rail 41 and a protective cover 42, which can prevent the slide rail 41 from being contaminated by environmental contaminants. As shown in fig. 3, in addition to this, the linear moving device 4 has a long axis X, and the direction of the long axis X is perpendicular to the selvedge E of the cloth S. In fact, the long axis X of the linear motion device 4 may be the direction in which the slide rail 41 is slid. Since the direction of the edge E of the cloth S coincides with the traveling direction of the cloth S on the drum 2, the long axis X of the linear-motion device 4 is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the cloth S on the drum.

As described above, the sensor 31 of the linear motion device 4 can be driven by the adjustable cylinder 5 of the cloth swinging mechanism M. Specifically, the adjustable cylinder 5 is connected to the linear moving device 4 and is used to drive the sensor 31 on the linear moving device 4 to reciprocate. As shown in fig. 4, the adjustable cylinder 5 may be connected to the linear motion device 4 through a floating joint 8 to drive a sensor 31 also connected to the linear motion device 4.

It should be noted that the adjustable cylinder 5 can be adjusted according to the user's requirement, for example, the sensor 3 on the linear motion device 4 can be driven to reciprocate at a specific speed, direction and frequency by the control of the user. Furthermore, the distance that the sensor 31 is pushed by the adjustable cylinder 5 can be adjusted according to the user's requirement.

Next, please refer to fig. 1 to 3 again. The operation of the edge controller 3 will be described in detail below. The sensor 31 of the opposite-side controller 3 is used for sensing the position of the edge E of the cloth S disposed on the roller 2 and transmitting the position information back to the control unit (not shown), so that the roller driving device 32 of the opposite-side controller 3 can drive the roller 2 to reciprocate according to the sensing signal generated by the sensor 31. In general, when the edge E of the cloth S deviates, the sensor 31 of the edge-to-edge controller 3 may transmit a corresponding signal to the roller driving device 32 for driving the roller 2, so that the roller driving device 32 drives the roller 2 to move in accordance with the deviation of the edge E of the cloth S. In the embodiment of the present invention, the operation principle of the edge controller 3 is utilized, and the design of the adjustable cylinder 5 is matched to drive the sensor 31 through the adjustable cylinder 5 according to the requirement of the actual process, so as to achieve the effect of moving or swinging the roller 2 left and right.

In summary, when the cloth swinging mechanism M according to the embodiment of the present invention is operated, the sensor 31 of the edge-facing controller 3 is driven to reciprocate on the linear moving device 4 by the adjustable cylinder 5. It should be noted that the direction of the reciprocating motion of the sensor 31 is the same as the long axis X of the linear moving device 4 and is perpendicular to the edge E of the cloth S. As a result, the sensor 31 for sensing the position of the selvage E generates a sensing result and transmits the sensing result to the control unit of the roller driving device 32 connected to the opposite-side controller 3.

Next, the control unit controls the drum driving device 32 to drive the drum 2 to perform the reciprocating movement based on the sensing result. As a result, the cloth S set on the drum 2 is stretched and flattened by the reciprocating movement of the drum. In other words, the adjustable cylinder 5 of the cloth swinging mechanism M according to the embodiment of the present invention can drive the sensor 31 for performing the opposite side (edge alignment) to reciprocate to generate the sensing result similar to the deviation of the cloth edge E in the left and right directions, thereby driving the roller 2 to reciprocate to achieve the effect of preventing the cloth S from wrinkling.

In other words, the present invention forcibly moves the sensor 31 of the edge controller 3 by the adjustable cylinder 5 to generate a sensing signal similar to the deviation of the edge E of the cloth S in a general process, and then drives the roller 2 to reciprocate by the roller driving device 32 of the edge controller 3 according to the sensing signal. In this way, the swinging of the drum 2 can spread the cloth S leaving the oven with a higher temperature, i.e. about to wrinkle, to prevent wrinkles from being generated due to the temperature difference. In the embodiment of the present invention, the roller driving device 32 may drive the roller 2 to reciprocate in the direction perpendicular to the selvedge E of the cloth S at a speed of 0.1 to 2 seconds/time.

Next, please refer to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an operation method of the cloth swinging mechanism according to the embodiment of the present invention. The invention also provides an operation method of the cloth swinging mechanism. In fact, the present invention provides the operation method of the aforementioned cloth swinging mechanism M, and the cloth swinging mechanism M comprises a support 1, a roller 2 disposed on the support 1, an opposite side controller 3, a linear moving device 4 disposed on the support 1, and an adjustable cylinder 5 connected to the linear moving device 4, wherein the opposite side controller 3 comprises a sensor 31 fixed on the linear moving device 4 and a roller driving device 32 connected to the roller 2. The detailed structure of the cloth swinging mechanism M will not be described in detail here.

As shown in fig. 5, the operation method of the cloth swinging mechanism provided by the present invention includes: driving the sensor 31 on the linear moving device 4 to reciprocate relative to the support 1 through the adjustable cylinder 5 (step S400); generating a sensing signal by the sensor 31 according to the position on the cylinder 2 of at least one edge E of the cloth S carried by the cylinder 2 (step S402); and driving the drum 2 to reciprocate by the drum driving device 32 according to the sensing signal generated by the sensor 31 (step S404).

In detail, in step S400, the sensor 31 on the slide rail is driven by the adjustable cylinder 32 whose stroke can be adjusted according to the user' S requirement, so that the sensor 31 reciprocates in the direction perpendicular to the selvage E of the cloth S with respect to the stand 1. Next, in step S402, the sensor 31 for sensing the position of the edge E of the cloth S senses the position of the edge E of the cloth S loaded on the drum 2 on the drum to generate a sensing signal. In other words, since the sensor 31 reciprocates relative to the frame 1 and the drum 2, the position of the edge E of the cloth S carried on the drum 2 is also reciprocated at the angle of the sensor 31. Therefore, the sensor 31 generates a sensing signal indicating the deviation and movement of the fabric edge E, and transmits the sensing signal to the drum driving device 32 directly or indirectly.

In step S404, the roller driving device 32 can drive the roller 2 to reciprocate according to the sensing signal generated and transmitted by the sensor 31. As described above, the drum 2 does not necessarily perform a linear reciprocating movement, but may swing at a certain angle along the direction R shown in fig. 2. In this way, the cloth S carried on the drum 2 can swing and move left and right quickly to be flattened.

In summary, the present invention provides a cloth swinging mechanism M and an operating method thereof, which are provided by the embodiment of the present invention, through a special design of a mechanism, particularly an adjustable cylinder, on a sensor 31 of a side-to-side controller 3, in a case that a cloth S may wrinkle due to an environmental temperature difference, a roller 2 carrying the cloth S is driven to swing back and forth in a controlled manner, thereby improving a yield of a manufacturing process.

Specifically, in the present invention, the cloth swinging mechanism M can be configured such that the adjustable cylinder 5 whose stroke (adjustment of the distance to be reciprocated) can be freely adjusted by the user is attached to the sensor 31 of the conventional edge-to-edge controller 3, and thus, the cloth leaving the oven at a high temperature can be swung, flattened, and wrinkles can be prevented. Therefore, the cloth swinging mechanism of the present invention does not need to greatly change the main structure of the original device or equipment for carrying the cloth S, and can displace the sensor 31 according to the requirement, so as to drive the roller driving device 32 to drive the roller 2 carrying the cloth S to reciprocate.
