Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser marking, and in particular to a hot melt bonding device and a marking system. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of market quality awareness and anti-counterfeiting needs, product anti-counterfeiting and traceability methods are playing an increasingly important role. The transmission label is used as the "identity card" of the transmission for quality traceability, production management, anti-counterfeiting and other aspects, and plays a vital role. With the popularization of laser marking technology, the transmission identification mode has changed to a method of using laser printed labels and riveting them on the transmission. This method overcomes the difficulty of laser marking on rough surfaces, and is widely used because of its reliable riveting. However, this method also has its limitations. This solution requires drilling holes in the casting shell. There are quality risks such as the shell being pierced, cracked, and the riveting holes being rusted during drilling. In addition, riveting pre-printed labels is time-consuming and laborious, and one-to-one correspondence cannot be guaranteed, and mis-installation often occurs. If a plane is milled directly on the surface of the casting shell for marking, the above problems can be well solved, but an additional processing step is required. Since the processed surface is exposed to the environment, special anti-rust measures are required in the future to ensure that the marking surface is not corroded and the anti-rust measures cannot affect the subsequent code scanning, which is difficult to implement.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a hot melt bonding device, which is used to heat a plastic material 6-2 and bond the heated plastic material 6-2 to a surface of a part, and includes a positioning lifting member for positioning and lifting the part and a resistance heater 6 connected to the positioning lifting member, and the resistance heater 6 is used to heat and convey the plastic material 6-2;

[0034] The positioning lifting member includes a support plate 1 for supporting and fixing parts. Both ends of the support plate 1 are connected to a transmission frame 3, and the transmission frame 3 is connected to a motor 2. The motor 2 drives the support plate 1 through the transmission frame 3 to lift and position the parts.

[0035] Specifically, a plurality of plastic materials 6-2 are arranged inside the resistance heater 6, and the resistance heater 6 is also provided with a telescopic end 6-1 for pushing the heated plastic material 6-2 to the surface of the part, such as Figure 2 As shown, after the telescopic end 6-1 delivers the heated plastic material 6-2, it can be retracted and kept in the retracted state when not in use. The plastic material 6-2 is heated in a closed contact manner inside the resistance heater 6 and is pushed out through the telescopic end 6-1. In addition to heating the plastic material 6-2 and pushing it out after heating, the resistance heater 6 also includes the conveying of the plastic material 6-2. After the bonding of the previous plastic material 6-2 is completed, the resistance heater 6 will convey the next plastic material 6-2 into the heating zone for heating to start a new cycle.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission frame 3 includes a first transmission rod 3-1 and a second transmission rod 3-2 arranged in parallel, a resistance heater 6 is arranged on the first transmission rod 3-1, and an air cooling component 4 is fixed on the second transmission rod 3-2, and the air cooling component 4 realizes the function of cooling and blowing the plastic material 6-2. The air cooling component 4 can be other equipment that can realize the cooling and blowing function, such as an air cooler.

[0037] The resistance heater 6 and the air cooling part 4 are arranged in front of the part, specifically in front of the part where the marking is required. The positioning lifting part is arranged around the part to be marked, mainly to realize the lifting and positioning of the part.

[0038] The plastic material 6-2 includes one or more components of acrylic acid, epoxy resin, plastic and rubber. Such materials can be heated to a molten state by the resistance heater 6 and then bonded to the surface of the part.

[0039] Specifically, it also includes a control cabinet 5 connected to the transmission frame 3 , and the control cabinet 5 is also connected to the resistance heater 6 and the air cooling part 4 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the motor 2 is connected to the telescopic cylinder, and the lifting and lowering of the support plate 1 is realized through a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic system. For the safety of the device, the control cabinet 5 is also connected to a protective member 7, which is arranged around the positioning lifting member.

[0041] In addition, this embodiment also provides a shell surface laser marking device, which includes a cleaning device, a hot melt bonding device and a marking and scanning detection device connected to the roller. The hot melt bonding device adopts the above-mentioned device to hot-melt the plastic material 6-2 and then bond it to the surface of the shell parts. The cleaning device and the marking and scanning detection device both adopt conventional equipment.

[0042] More specifically, laser sensors for detecting the position of shell parts are respectively arranged on both sides of the roller, and the laser sensors are connected to the control cabinet 5; after receiving the signal from the laser sensor, the control cabinet 5 controls the resistance heater 6, the positioning lifting part, the air cooling part 4 and the marking and scanning detection device to perform heating, lifting, blowing, marking and scanning.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] The present invention also discloses a hot melt adhesive marking system, which comprises a cleaning module for cleaning parts, a hot melt adhesive module and a marking module which are sequentially connected and arranged;

[0046] The hot melt bonding module is used to realize the function of the hot melt bonding device described in the present invention, and hot melt bonds the plastic material 6-2 to the cleaned surface of the part;

[0047] The marking module marks the surface of the plastic material 6-2 on the part.

[0048] In this embodiment, the part is a cast iron shell part. The existing marking technology requires drilling holes in the cast shell. When drilling holes, there are quality risks such as the shell being pierced or cracked, and the riveting holes being corroded. The present invention ensures that the marking surface is not corroded and the anti-rust measures do not affect the subsequent code scanning. The specific hot melt adhesive marking process is as follows:

[0049] After the laser sensor detects the shell part (the part to be marked), it sends a position signal to the control cabinet 5, and the control cabinet 5 sends a signal to trigger the resistance heater 6 to heat the bonding surface of the plastic material 6-2 placed inside the resistance heater 6;

[0050] The cleaning module cleans the bonding surface of the part to be marked and then releases it to the hot melt bonding device, triggering the laser sensor to send a position signal to the control cabinet 5. The control cabinet 5 sends a signal to trigger the positioning lifting part to perform precise positioning. Specifically, the part to be marked corresponds to the position of the resistance heater 6, and the air cooling part 4 is started to purge the clean surface. Then, the telescopic end 6-1 of the resistance heater 6 pushes out the heated plastic material 6-2 and presses it into the bonding surface of the shell part, and continues to purge with the air cooling part 4. After the plastic material 6-2 and the part to be marked are cooled and bonded, the positioning lifting part descends, the telescopic end 6-1 of the resistance heater 6 retracts, and the heating and bonding process ends.

[0051] After the heating and bonding of the parts to be marked is completed, the laser sensor is triggered to send the position to the control cabinet 5. The control cabinet 5 sends a signal to trigger the marking and scanning detection part to ablate and mark the surface of the plastic material 6-2. After the marking is completed, the marking and scanning detection part performs scanning quality inspection and records it, and the marking process is completed.

[0052] In this embodiment, the laser sensor has a measurement frequency of 1-15 Hz, a measurement range of 0.05-3 meters, an accuracy of ±1 MM, and a resolution of 0.1 MM.
