Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of paste application, and in particular to a paste pre-spreading auxiliary tool, a composite spreading tool and a use method. Background Art

[0002] Paste is a form of matter with specific physical and chemical properties, which is between solid and liquid. Pastes usually show a certain viscosity and plasticity, can maintain their shape but can flow or deform when external force is applied, and can also have thixotropy. Pastes are widely used in many industries, such as thermal conductive pastes and conductive pastes in electronic product manufacturing, greases and sealing pastes in industrial manufacturing, caulking pastes and putty powders in the construction industry, body repair pastes in the automotive industry, topical ointments and gel-type drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, and various pastes in the food, skin care products and other industries.

[0003] The choice of paste application tools depends on the properties of the paste (such as viscosity, adhesion, fluidity, etc.), the requirements of the application (such as accuracy, speed, uniformity, flatness, thickness, etc.), the characteristics of the spreading tool itself, and the user's preference. Commonly used application tools include: ① Brushes, sponges, etc. are suitable for applying grease, sealing paste, paint, etc. The advantage is that they can cover evenly, but the disadvantage is that they require the paste to have a low viscosity; ② Scrapers and spatulas are suitable for applying thermal paste, putty, caulking paste, sauces, etc. The advantages are that they have a certain smooth surface and control thickness, but the disadvantages are low accuracy and the viscosity of the paste cannot be too large; ③Other improved application tools that can be used for pastes.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pre-spreading tool particularly used for thermal paste, which has a cylindrical smooth outer surface working surface, which is an improved development of further bending deformation based on the bending deformation formed by the pressure of the blade of the scraper, thereby forming a cylindrical smooth outer surface working surface, and a low disturbance basis can be obtained by repeated rolling of the working surface, and a highly repeatable rolling friction method can be obtained to pre-spread the thermal paste, and based on the low disturbance basis, the thixotropy of the thermal paste is fully utilized to adjust the dispersed phase structure inside, on the top and bottom surfaces of the thermal paste, so that the thermal paste can achieve high continuity, high stability and high robustness adjustment of the dispersed phase structure under the influence of its own thixotropy, so that the spread layer obtained under the previous rolling will form a rolled layer with better properties after the next rolling. This rolling method can improve the efficiency, quality and robustness of thermal paste paving. Patent Document 1 cited herein is cited as a reference in its entirety to the present disclosure.

[0005] Patent document 2 discloses a roller tool that can be operated by fingers and a method of using the roller tool, which includes a roller body, a connecting part and a finger pinching part. By constructing two relatively independent finger pinching parts, the driving mode of the roller body is improved to two fingers pinching one finger pinching part on each side of the roller body to push and roll the roller body. It is used to apply and / or roll substances such as pastes, and is particularly suitable for scenes with small working range and force, and has the advantages of dexterity, improved efficiency, material saving, cost reduction, space saving, high robustness, etc. The working principle of this improvement applied to the spreading of thermal paste is as follows: at the macro level, the scraper obtains sliding friction and shear slip force by "sticking and pulling". Excessive shear slip force will bring negative problems, such as scraping and peeling. At the same time, the sliding friction depends on the contact area and friction coefficient, and the thermal paste with high viscosity is easy to adhere to more substances when it is detached; at the micro level, the shear stress can only make the solid particles in the dispersed phase spread horizontally, but cannot achieve the effect of making it denser; relatively speaking, the roller obtains rolling friction and vertical pressure by "repeated rolling". Because of its small friction and large pressure and high-frequency repetitive operation, it reduces the negative effect of shear force while increasing the compacting effect of pressure. The Poisson effect (lateral deformation effect) in plastic mechanics can be used to explain the effect of vertical pressure on horizontal spreading and thinning. Patent document 2 cited in this article is cited as a reference in its entirety to the present disclosure.

[0006] In addition, thermal conductive paste, such as the above-mentioned one, is a common substance in paste, and its main components are matrix material (carrier), filler and additives. The matrix material is the basis of thermal conductive paste, provides the basic physical properties of the paste, and serves as a carrier for fillers and other additives. Silicone oil is one of the most commonly used matrix materials, and there are non-silicon organic solvents such as mineral oil or synthetic ester oil. Fillers mainly determine the thermal conductivity of thermal conductive paste. Common fillers include metal oxides (such as aluminum oxide, zinc oxide), metal powders (such as silver powder, copper powder), ceramic materials (such as boron nitride), carbon-based fillers (such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, diamond powder), etc. Additives are to improve specific properties, such as moisture resistance, oxidation resistance or corrosion resistance and processing performance, and a small amount of special chemicals may be added. The main function of thermal conductive paste is to fill the tiny gaps and uneven surfaces between the heating element and the heat sink. If there is air in these gaps, the heat conduction efficiency will be greatly reduced. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the uniformity, flatness and thickness of the spreading layer. The thickness is generally recommended to be 0.05mm to 0.1mm.

[0007] Viscosity refers to the amount of internal friction when a fluid (including liquids and some semi-solids) flows. In simple terms, it is the ability of the fluid to resist deformation. For thermal paste, viscosity affects how it is applied, how evenly it is applied, and whether it is prone to overflow or flow. The right viscosity can make the thermal paste easier to handle and maintain a certain shape and position after application. Viscosity can be divided into the following three categories: High viscosity: This type of thermal paste is thicker and less likely to flow. They are suitable for applications that need to maintain a fixed shape and prevent overflow or flow from the application location. They generally have good long-term stability, but may be difficult to apply evenly; Medium viscosity: This is the most common type of thermal paste. It is neither too thin nor too thick, easy to apply while providing a certain structural stability. This type of thermal paste is suitable for most standard CPU or GPU cooling installations; Low viscosity: Low viscosity thermal pastes have better fluidity and can more easily fill surface unevenness and ensure good contact. However, they may need to be used more carefully to prevent excessive diffusion or overflow during assembly.

[0008] Adhesion refers to the ability of one material to bond tightly to the surface of another material. For thermal paste, good adhesion means that it can firmly adhere to the surface of the workpiece and remain stable even under temperature changes or vibrations. This helps ensure effective heat conduction performance for a long time and prevents air or other low thermal conductivity substances from entering the interface, thereby reducing thermal resistance.

[0010] Problems to be solved by the present invention However, thermal pastes with higher thermal conductivity usually also have high viscosity and high adhesion. However, thermal pastes with high viscosity may also be difficult to spread and difficult to fully fill the tiny gaps between the two workpiece surfaces. At the same time, thermal pastes with high adhesion may adhere to the surface of the spreading tool, making it difficult to spread evenly.

[0011] The cylindrical smooth outer surface of the working surface described in Patent Document 1 and the roller body described in Patent Document 2 have greatly improved the efficiency and quality of the thermal paste with high viscosity in the spreading field, but the above patent documents also describe the adverse effects of the adhesion of the thermal paste in the spreading. The preferred solution is to treat the roller surface with non-stick properties through physical or chemical treatment, including grinding, polishing, coating, plating or surface modification. However, this depends on the production process and material quality to a certain extent, and strong non-stick materials or treatment methods will inevitably bring about a significant increase in difficulty and cost.

[0012] For example, the adhesion problem in the spreading of thermal conductive paste has the same guiding significance for the spreading of paste in other industries. It is an urgent technical problem to continue to study materials or treatment methods with strong non-stick properties and reduce their costs. In addition, it is also crucial to explore new non-stick theories and structures.

[0013] The present disclosure is in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a pre-spreading auxiliary tool, a composite spreading tool and a use method for pastes with strong non-stickiness, so as to reduce the difficulty and cost of obtaining strong non-stickiness with existing application tools for pastes.

[0018] Optionally, the pre-spreading auxiliary tool includes: the working surface is subjected to non-stick treatment, and the non-stick treatment is grinding, polishing, spraying lubricant, plating, coating or surface modification; or, the paste is a thermal conductive paste.

[0019] Optionally, the handheld part is replaced by an automated mechanical drive part.

[0020] A second aspect of the present disclosure provides a composite spreading tool for a paste, characterized in that it comprises: the pre-spreading auxiliary tool as described in the first aspect above, and a hand-held roller having a zero Gaussian curvature working surface; the pre-spreading auxiliary tool and the hand-held roller are coupled to form the composite spreading tool, and the coupling method includes: Use fixed coupling, including welding, bonding, riveting, bolting, mortise and tenon connection or one-piece molding process; or, use movable coupling, including hinges, ball joints, sliding joints, universal joints, binders, bearings, telescopic connections or flexible connections; or, use detachable coupling, including snap connections, plug-in connections, quick-release joints, buckle connections or magnetic connections; or, use a combination of independent uses.

[0021] Optionally, the composite spreading tool comprises: The coupling method includes the fixed coupling, the movable coupling or the detachable coupling; and the working part of the pre-spreading auxiliary tool is connected to the left side of a roller body or the top end of a hand-held part or the top side of a hand-held part or the upper side of a connecting part included in the hand-held roller in the coupling method, or the hand-held part of the pre-spreading auxiliary tool is connected to a hand-held part included in the hand-held roller in the coupling method.

[0022] Optionally, the handheld roller is replaced by a scraper.

Beneficial Effects

[0024] The present disclosure creatively proposes a relatively non-stick geometric structure suitable for spreading the paste by constructing a curved surface with a limited curvature feature as a working surface. When the geometric structure acts on the paste in a pressing and / or rolling manner, it exhibits stronger non-stick properties than spreading tools of the same material, such as cylindrical rollers or scrapers. This structure is mainly used for the initial spreading of the paste. After rolling, the paste is locally flattened and compacted, and then the cylindrical roller is used to easily complete the final rolling.

[0025] Since the non-stick property does not come from the surface coating, plating or modification of the material, but only the modification of the geometric structure, the processing cost that would have been invested in the roller surface is saved; at the same time, as an auxiliary structure, the coating or plating itself also has certain defects, such as durability issues. The non-stick coating or plating may wear over time and use, which may cause the coating to peel off or be damaged, affecting its non-stick performance; for example, chemical stability, some types of non-stick coatings or platings may react when exposed to strong acids, strong bases or specific chemicals, thereby weakening their effectiveness or causing other problems; there are also environmental impact issues. The manufacture and disposal of non-stick coating products may have a negative impact on the environment. Some coating materials are not easy to degrade, and harmful by-products may be produced during the production process. In addition, in terms of production, existing industrial manufacturing methods can fully produce the curved surfaces or structures required by the present disclosure with high efficiency, high quality and low cost.

[0026] In summary, the present invention demonstrates novelty, creativity and practicality in many aspects such as mechanism, effect, production, use and environmental impact. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present disclosure. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the various aspects, embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0030] The technical principles of this disclosure are as follows: As you can understand, curvature is a core concept in differential geometry, used to describe the degree of curvature of a curve or surface at a certain point. It provides a quantitative way to measure the degree to which an object deviates from a straight line or plane. Curvature can be applied to one-dimensional curves and surfaces of two dimensions and above, and there are different types to describe the curvature characteristics in different dimensions.

[0031] For two-dimensional surfaces, we need to consider the bending characteristics in multiple directions. The following are several important types of curvature: a. Principal Curvatures At each point on the surface, there are two mutually perpendicular directions, in which the curvature reaches its extreme value, which are called the maximum principal curvature k1 and the minimum principal curvature k2 respectively. The curvature can be negative, zero or positive; Positive curvature means that the shape around the point resembles a portion of a sphere or ellipsoid, i.e. the curvature in all directions curves inward; Zero curvature describes a state of space that is neither curved inward nor outward, meaning that the surface is flat, i.e. its shape resembles a plane or a portion of a cylinder; Negative curvature means that the shape around the point is similar to a saddle, in other words, it curves inward in one direction and outward in another direction perpendicular to it, such as a hyperbolic paraboloid (saddle surface); b. Gaussian Curvature Gaussian curvature K is the product of two principal curvatures: K = k1 * k2; Gaussian curvature provides information about the intrinsic geometry of the surface. For example, spheres and ellipsoids have positive Gaussian curvature, while planes and cylinders have zero Gaussian curvature.

[0032] The two principal curvatures of the working surface described in the claims of the present disclosure are both positive numbers, which means that the curvatures in all directions on the working surface are inwardly curved, that is, they have convex surface features, and the Gaussian curvature is also a positive number; it can be seen from the basic principle that the curved surface described in the present disclosure intersects with its tangent plane at a point, and the cylindrical surface with zero Gaussian curvature intersects with its tangent plane at a straight line, and specifically, the plane intersects with its tangent plane at a surface; this means that when the working surface compresses and / or rolls the paste on a plane, it has a smaller contact area and smaller adhesion than a cylindrical surface or a plane; further, when the working surface is a spherical surface, the difference in adhesion between it and a cylindrical surface tool during the rolling paste movement is compared, such as Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 It can be seen that: The spherical surface 11 tool has very little paste 10 adhered to it in the direction of movement, mainly because the two main curvatures of the spherical surface 11 are positive numbers, and the curved surface is bent inward, resulting in only one contact point 15 between it and the plane of the paste 10; and the tiny viscosity peak 12 still exists because the paste 10 has plasticity, and the bottom contact point 15 of the spherical surface 11 is partially sunken into the tangent plane of the paste 10. At this time, the paste 10 that is not carried up in the adjacent units around the viscosity peak 12 (in the left, right and rear directions) exerts a downward dragging force on the paste 10 on the viscosity peak 12, which greatly reduces the spherical surface 11 when rolling. The cylindrical surface 13 tool has more paste 10 (such as wave crest 14) attached to it in the direction of movement. This is because, although the cylindrical surface 13 also has a positive principal curvature, the other principal curvature is zero, which means that the intersection of the paste 10 and the cylindrical surface 13 in the direction of zero curvature is a contact line 16. Considering that the contact area is enlarged due to plastic subsidence, the paste 10 of the adjacent units on this contact line 16 (in both left and right directions) is also carried up, and only the paste 10 of the adjacent units in the rear has a downward drag force on the paste 10 on the wave crest 14. Based on the above model, it can be inferred that for the paste spreading tool of the same material, the non-stickiness of the spherical structure is about one-third of that of the cylindrical structure.

[0033] In addition, in the case where the paste is a thermal conductive paste, when the user guides the thermal conductive paste from the container to the chip before it is initially spread, the thermal conductive paste is usually in a spherical, columnar, strip-like or convex peak shape, and has a small contact area with the chip surface and is not tightly fitted. At this time, it is easier to adhere to the tool surface rather than the chip surface when directly spread with a roller or a scraper, and then it is easier to be carried by the roller or scraper, but the initial spreading effect using the working surface provided by the present disclosure is very good. Once the initial spreading work is completed, the contact area between the thermal conductive paste and the chip increases and the fit is tighter. The subsequent rolling with a roller has relative non-stick properties. This composite use method utilizes the structural non-stick advantage of the working surface provided by the present disclosure, and relies less on the non-stick coating or surface treatment of the material itself, and then cooperates with the high-efficiency rolling of the zero Gaussian curvature roller tool, thereby achieving the effect of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and getting twice the result with half the effort.

[0034] It should be noted that the working surface of the pre-spreading auxiliary tool described in the present disclosure is constructed as a convex curved surface, the characteristics of which are defined in mathematical terms as two main curvatures that are both positive numbers, the convex curved surface is a macroscopic structure, and the main curvature is the curvature of the overall curved surface. In addition, it should be pointed out that when the working surface surface contains local micro-pits or polyhedral structures, the convex curved surface described in the present disclosure refers to a circumscribed curved surface tangent to the outer vertices of the above-mentioned irregular structure.
