<Structure and Function of Bristle 2>
[0151] A bristle 2, disposed on a roller with a rotation axis, for use in the process of forming textures on a board surface, comprising: [0152] A general root segment 201 for mounting on the roller; [0153] A general head segment 202 extending outward approximately perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis; [0154] A spacing segment 203 disposed between the general root segment and the general head segment and used to isolate the distance between adjacent bristles.

<Correlation between External Contour One Z of General Head Segment and Wire-Drawing Capability>
[0159] Bristles with different diameters were used at the same distribution density to perform wire drawing on panels coated with the same amount of base agent and polymerization inhibitor and cured for the same time. The residual amount of slow-curing substance after wire drawing was evaluated to obtain the wire-drawing capability , in %, calculated by the following formula:
[0165] When the Z value increases, the value first increases and then decreases with the increase in Z value. The reason is that when the Z value is very low, the mechanical strength of the bristle head segment 202 is insufficient, only capable of removing part of the slow-curing substance, and unable to remove slow-curing substances with a higher degree of curing. When the Z value is very high, the external contour of the bristle head segment 202 is too large to reach fine gaps formed after complete curing of the curable substance, leaving the slow-curing substance in these gaps unremovable by the bristles. Therefore, there exists a specific Z value or range that allows the bristles to have the maximum removal efficiency, i.e., a approaching 100%.
[0166] In tests, it was found that when Z=0.5-1 mm, is approximately 100%, meaning that nearly all slow-curing substances were removed during the wire-drawing process.
<Correlation Between External Contour Two C of Spacing Segment 203 and Wire-Drawing Capability>
[0167] Bristles with different diameters C were used at the same distribution density to perform wire drawing on panels coated with the same amount of base agent and polymerization inhibitor and cured for the same time. The wire-drawing capability was evaluated, and it was found that as the C value increases, the wire-drawing capability first increases and then decreases. The reason is that when the C value is very small, the general head segments 202 are not spaced far apart and pile up together, making it impossible to remove slow-curing substances in fine gaps in a timely manner. When the C value is very large, the general head segments 202 are spaced too far apart, resulting in a distribution that is too sparse to clean all gaps, leading to residual slow-curing substances.
[0168] Additionally, there exists a critical value for C. When this critical value is exceeded, the bristles cannot be smoothly installed on the roller body because overly thick spacing segments prevent the bristles from being installed together.
[0169] In tests, it was found that when C=2-3 mm, is approximately 100%, meaning that nearly all slow-curing substances were removed during the wire-drawing process.
[0170] Additionally, in tests, it was found that when C>5 mm, the bristles could not be smoothly installed on the brush roller, and the wire-drawing capability sharply declined.
<Correlation Between Diameter C of Spacing Segment 203 and Adhesion Capability of Slow-Curing Substance on General Head Segment>
[0171] Panels coated with the same amount of base agent and polymerization inhibitor and cured for the same time were passed through a brush roller at the same rotation speed. The total mass of slow-curing substance adhered to the general head segment was collected. A higher mass indicates a higher adhesion capability of the slow-curing substance on the general head segment, and correspondingly, a lower cleaning capability . is an empirical value negatively linearly correlated with the total mass of slow-curing substance adhered to the general head segment.
[0172] Wherein, the diameter C of the spacing segment refers to the diameter of the smallest circle that can completely cover the vertical projection of the spacing segment. From the experimental results, within the allowable range of C values, as the C value increases, the value continuously decreases, indicating that the separated general head segments 202 have a lower tendency to adhere to the slow-curing substance.
[0173] In tests, it was found that when C=3 mm, the bristles could achieve the best wire-drawing effect and relatively low adhesion capability to the slow-curing substance.
[0174] A brush roller, comprising the aforementioned bristles; the brush roller further comprising: [0175] A roller body having a cylindrical structure and a rotation axis arranged along the axis of the cylinder; [0176] Guide groove bodies formed on the surface of the roller body, with the groove openings facing outward and used for mounting the general root segment of the bristles.
[0177] The guide groove bodies are circumferentially arranged on the surface of the roller body.
[0178] Additionally, the guide groove bodies can also be formed by hollowing out the surface of the roller body.
[0179] Referring again to
<Correlation Between Bristle Space B Width and Adhesion Capability of Slow-Curing Substance on General Head Segment>
[0180] Panels coated with the same amount of base agent and polymerization inhibitor and cured for the same time were passed through brush rollers with different bristle space B widths. The total mass of slow-curing substance adhered to the general head segment was collected. A higher mass indicates a higher adhesion capability of the slow-curing substance on the general head segment, and correspondingly, a lower cleaning capability . Experimental results showed that the value decreases as the bristle space B increases. When >1 mm, the value begins to decrease and stabilizes at a specific value, approximately at B=20 mm, indicating that the bristle space B can reduce the tendency of the head segment 202 to adhere to the slow-curing substance to a certain extent. However, there is an improvement limit for B, particularly when B>20 mm, where obvious gaps exist between the bristles, and the panel in these gaps cannot be subjected to the wire-drawing process from the brush roller, leading to partial functional loss of the brush roller.
<Specific Structure and Function of Brush Roller>
[0181] Referring to
[0186] The bristles are uniformly arranged on the outer annular surface of the roller body 1, and the extension direction of each bristle is substantially aligned with the axis of the roller body, so that the bristles can vertically contact the panel to be drawn when moving to the lowest point.
[0187] The rotation axis 101 is arranged along the axial direction of the roller body 1, as shown in
[0188] The roller sleeve 3 is provided with a rotatable structure for mounting the rotation axis 101, such as a bearing.
[0189] The components of the roller sleeve 3 can be connected by welding, and some components can also be connected by bolts to facilitate size adjustments to fit the suspension component 4.
[0190] Wherein, the suspension component 4 is a groove body with a downward opening, the groove opening contracting inward, and the upper end of the roller sleeve 3 expanding outward to slidably fit into the inward-contracted portion of the groove opening, which can support the roller sleeve 3 and the roller body 1 mounted thereon in the vertical direction.
[0191] Once the inner fixing member 402 and the outer fixing member 301 are connected, they prevent the roller sleeve 3 from sliding in the suspension component 4, restricting the movement of the roller sleeve 3 and the roller body 1 mounted thereon in the horizontal direction, thereby limiting the movement trend of the roller body 1 except for rotation along the axial direction, achieving the fixation of the roller body 1.
[0192] Referring to
[0193] Referring to
[0194] The suspension component 4 comprises a plate body 403 for forming the suspension groove 401, the plate body 403 comprising an upper plate 403a, side plates 403b disposed at both side ends of the upper plate 403a, and a lower plate 403c disposed at the lower end of the side plates 403b; the upper plate 403a comprises upper plate side regions vertically opposite to the lower plate 403c, and an upper plate middle region located between the two upper plate side regions; the upper plate side regions, side plates 403b, and lower plate 403c define the side spaces 401b, and the upper plate middle region defines the main space 401a.
[0195] Wherein, the upper plate 403a, side plates 403b, and lower plate 403c may be in an assembled relationship or integrally formed as parts of the plate body 403. When the plate body 403 is integrally formed, the upper plate 403a, side plates 403b, and lower plate 403c are merely used to indicate different parts of the plate body 403 itself.
[0196] The inner fixing member 402 is disposed on the upper end surface of the lower plate 403c.
[0197] Referring to
[0198] Wherein, during the process of slidably mounting the roller sleeve 3 into the suspension component 4, the following events occur sequentially: [0199] T11. The suspension plate 303 remains in the main space 401a, and the hanging lugs 304 on both sides of the suspension plate 303 remain in the side spaces 401b; [0200] T12. Continue sliding the roller sleeve 3 inward, the hanging lugs 304 on both sides of the suspension plate 303 simultaneously contact the upper edge of the inner fixing member 402, achieving the vertical support function of the suspension component 4 for the roller sleeve 3; [0201] T13. Continue sliding the roller sleeve 3 inward, since the outer fixing member 301 and the inner fixing member 402 have substantially the same height, the outer fixing member 301 also contacts the upper edge of the lower plate 403c, at which point the inner fixing member 402 and the upper edge of the lower plate 403c simultaneously support the roller sleeve 3, with the positional relationship between the outer fixing member 301 and the inner fixing member 402 as shown in
[0203] Continuing to refer to
[0204] The fixing holes have a central axis parallel to the axial direction of the roller body 1, meaning that when the outer fixing member 301 abuts against the inner fixing member 402, the two fixing holes form a complete fixing hole, facilitating direct installation of the fixing bolt 5, as shown in
[0205] The fixing hole on the inner fixing member 402 does not need to penetrate the entire inner fixing member 402, but only needs to be designed according to the actual length of the fixing bolt 5. The fixing hole in the outer fixing member 301 must penetrate the entire outer fixing member 301 to facilitate the installation of the fixing bolt 5 at the outer end and connection with the fixing hole on the inner fixing member 402 at the inner end.
[0206] The inner fixing member 402 should extend to the distal end of the lower plate 403c to provide sufficient support for the hanging lugs 304 throughout the entire sliding installation process of the roller sleeve 3. The inner fixing member 402 may consist of multiple members intermittently disposed along the lower plate 403c, with the fixing hole provided only in the innermost inner fixing member 402.
[0207] Wherein, the fixing bolt 5 can fix the outer fixing member 301 and the inner fixing member 402 by screwing, i.e., the fixing holes are provided with internal fixing threads, and the fixing bolt 5 is provided with external fixing threads configured to screw with the internal fixing threads.
[0208] Referring again to
[0209] Referring again to
[0210] Additionally, when disassembling the roller sleeve 3 outward, as nearly half of the volume of the roller sleeve 3 is removed from the suspension component 4, the center of gravity of the roller sleeve 3 approaches leaving the support area of the suspension component 4. Specifically, when the center of gravity of the roller sleeve 3 leaves the area supported by the upper end surface of the inner fixing member 402, there is a risk of tilting outward. Relying solely on one person holding the end handle 305 is insufficient to resist this overturning force. The side handles 306 on the side of the roller sleeve 3 allow workers to assist in supporting from the side, further stabilizing the outward sliding disassembly process of the roller sleeve 3.
[0211] Wherein, the side handles 306 are groove handles formed by inward recesses on the outer side of the hanging lugs 304. The advantage of groove handles is that when the roller sleeve 3 is slidably mounted into the suspension component 4, the side handles 306 are entirely located inside the hanging lugs 304, so that when the hanging lugs 304 slide on the upper end surface of the inner fixing member 402, the side does not affect its fit with the side plates 403b, or the side plates 403b can cooperate with the upper end surface of the inner fixing member 402 to restrict the sliding process of the hanging lugs 304.
[0212] Referring to
[0213] Referring to
[0214] The transmission member is a transmission belt. Compared to transmission methods such as gears, the transmission belt is flexible, and during disassembly of the roller body 1, it is only necessary to loosen the transmission belt to remove it from the power member 102.
[0215] In summary, a disassembly method for a brush roller, comprising the following steps: [0216] S01. Remove the locking device between the inner fixing member 402 and the outer fixing member 301; [0217] S02. Pull the roller sleeve from the suspension groove.
[0218] In S01, it further comprises the following steps: [0219] S01-1. Remove the transmission belt from the power member 102; [0220] S01-2. Remove the fixing bolt 5 from the inner fixing member 402 and the outer fixing member 301; [0221] S01-3. Pull the roller sleeve outward from the suspension groove, causing the auxiliary fixing member 307 to be detached from the auxiliary receiving member 404.
[0222] In S02, it further comprises the following steps: [0223] S02-1. Partially pull the roller sleeve from the suspension groove and use a transfer device to support the portion of the roller sleeve protruding from the suspension groove; [0224] S02-2. Continue pulling the roller sleeve until the entire roller sleeve is detached from the suspension groove and completely enters the transfer device.
[0225] Additionally, in another scheme for step S02, it further comprises the following steps: [0226] S02-1. Hold the end handle 305, partially pull the roller sleeve from the suspension groove, causing the side handles 306 to move out of the suspension groove 401; [0227] S02-2. Hold the side handles 306 to assist the end handle 305; [0228] S02-3. Move the transfer device to the proximal end of the roller sleeve 3 and adjust the height of the support device on the transfer device to be level with the roller sleeve 3; [0229] S02-4. Release the end handle 305 and move the proximal end of the roller sleeve 3 into the transfer device through the side handles 306.
