when the roller needs to be replaced, the sealing strips in the interlayer cavity are controlled to extend out, the sealing strips deform when contacting each other, so that the isolation cavity and the vacuum chamber are sealed and isolated, and then the isolation cavity is deflated through a inflating and deflating system arranged on the isolation cavity; after the deflation is finished, the isolation cavity door is separated from the isolation cavity through drawing; then, detaching and installing the winding roller is externally implemented; then, pushing the isolation cavity door provided with the new roller back to the isolation cavity, and sealing the isolation cavity from the outside; then controlling the sealing strip in the interlayer cavity to retract, so that the isolation cavity and the vacuum chamber are communicated again, and the replacement of the winding roller is completed; the roll replacement method can complete roll replacement under the condition that the vacuum chamber of the roll-to-roll equipment is not exposed to the atmosphere; the roll-to-roll equipment is winding vacuum coating equipment or winding coating equipment;
a clamping connection module is arranged in the isolation cavity and comprises an upper chuck and a lower chuck, and a slit channel for a flexible film to pass through is arranged between the upper chuck and the lower chuck; a knife switch is arranged in the middle of the upper clamping head; 2 pairs of eccentric rollers are arranged on the upper clamping head and the lower clamping head in pairs, the 2 pairs of eccentric rollers are respectively positioned at two sides of the knife switch, and the surfaces of the eccentric rollers have elasticity; thermoplastic heating surfaces are respectively arranged on the upper chuck and the lower chuck and positioned between 2 pairs of eccentric rollers;
when the flexible film coiled material is loaded on the roller, a cutting process for the flexible film is needed before the isolation cavity door is separated from the isolation cavity by drawing; the cutting process comprises the following steps: firstly, controlling 2 pairs of eccentric rollers to rotate in opposite directions, clamping two ends of a flexible film, and then enabling a knife switch to fall down to cut off the flexible film;
a film taking mechanism is also arranged in the isolation cavity; after the isolating cavity door provided with the new roller is pushed back to the isolating cavity and the isolating cavity is sealed with the outside, when the new roller is loaded with a new flexible film coiled material, a continuous process for the new flexible film is needed before the sealing strip in the control interlayer cavity is retracted to restore the communication between the isolating cavity and the vacuum chamber; the connection procedure comprises the following steps: firstly, controlling a film taking mechanism to clamp the end head of a new flexible film coiled material between an upper clamping head and a lower clamping head of a clamping connection module; then controlling 2 pairs of eccentric rollers to rotate in opposite directions, enabling the 2 pairs of eccentric rollers to clamp the ends of the new flexible film and the original flexible film respectively, pulling the two ends between the thermoplastic heating surfaces to overlap, starting heating of the thermoplastic heating surfaces, and performing thermoplastic welding on the overlapped ends to finish a connection procedure;
the cutting-off procedure and the connecting procedure are automatically completed by the clamping connecting module;
before the isolation cavity and the vacuum chamber are communicated, the isolation cavity with a narrow space is vacuumized through the isolation cavity vacuum system, and then working gas is filled into the isolation cavity through the inflation and deflation system, so that the atmosphere environment in the isolation cavity and the atmosphere environment between the vacuum chambers are balanced.
2. The roll replacement method for a roll-to-roll process of claim 1, wherein: the replacement of the roll refers to replacing the original roll carrying the flexible film coiled material with a new roll not carrying the flexible film coiled material, or replacing the original roll not carrying the flexible film coiled material with a new roll carrying the flexible film coiled material.
3. The roll replacement method for a roll-to-roll process of claim 1, wherein: the roller is connected with the roller driving shaft in a positioning way, and the roller driving shaft can drive the roller to synchronously rotate when being driven by the motor to rotate; the winding roller can be used as an unreeling roller or a reeling roller in a roll-to-roll device.
4. The roll replacement method for a roll-to-roll process of claim 1, wherein: in the process of changing the winding roller, the end of the original flexible film is always clamped by the eccentric roller from the cutting process to the completion of the continuous process so as to maintain the tension of the original flexible film part left in the vacuum chamber.
