  • Publication number: 20240282910
    Abstract: A strip diverting mechanism includes a negative pressure unit and an air discharge unit. The negative pressure unit and the air discharge unit are arranged opposite each other, and a gap through which a strip passes is formed between the negative pressure unit and the air discharge unit. The negative pressure unit is configured to provide a suction force to the strip and the air discharge unit is configured to provide a repulsive force to the strip, to prevent the strip from contacting the negative pressure unit and the air discharge unit. The negative pressure unit comprises two air channels located at two sides of the negative pressure unit and configured to discharge air to a direction away from the negative pressure unit, to generate a negative pressure area at a center of the negative pressure unit.
