[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to the needs in order to adapt to specific application occasions. For example, although the description is exemplified by the manual movement of the movable cover part, the present application can obviously use other similar means, such as setting a driving part, which can be an electric push rod, and the output end is drivingly connected with the movable cover part, etc., as long as the cover part can be movably arranged on the first connecting part.

[0042] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms indicating the direction or positional relationship of "upper", "lower" and the like are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only for the purpose of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "arrangement" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, etc. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] In order to solve the problem that the current silicone grease coating and insulation sheet installation process is relatively complex, not only the installation cost is high, but also the insulation sheet is easy to be pasted in the wrong position, such as Figure 1 The present application provides a process equipment for coating and installation. Next, taking the silicone grease coating and positioning installation of the insulation sheet applied to the heat sink in the printed circuit board of the air conditioner as an example, the embodiments of the present application are specifically described. However, it is obvious that in addition to the heat sink, the process equipment of the present application can also be applied to other devices that need to be coated and installed.

[0045] The process equipment for coating and installation includes a first connecting part 1, which is a plate body. The first connecting part 1 is provided with four disposal openings 2. The first connecting part 1 is also provided with a storage groove 5, and the disposal openings 2 are arranged in the storage groove 5. Each disposal opening 2 is provided with a cover 3; two movable covers 3 are movably arranged on the first connecting part 1, so that the movable cover 3 can cover or uncover a part of the space of the matched disposal opening 2. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, one movable cover 3 is located on one side of the first connecting part 1 which is provided with only one disposal opening 2, and the other movable cover 3 is located on the middle disposal opening 2 which is provided with three disposal openings 2 in the middle. Figure 1 Figure 1 In order to facilitate the control of the movable cover 3, the movable cover 3 is also provided with a handle 9, and the movement of the movable cover 3 can be realized by pushing and pulling the handle 9. ​

[0046] The process equipment further comprises a second connecting part 6 arranged below the first connecting part 1, and the second connecting part 6 is provided with a positioning member 7. In the embodiment, the second connecting part 6 is a plate body, and the positioning member 7 is a groove body. The second connecting part 6 and the first connecting part 1 are connected through a connecting member 8, and the distance between the second connecting part 6 and the first connecting part 1 can be adjusted. For example, the connecting member 8 can be a telescopic rod (alternatively, the connecting member 8 can be a threaded rod, and the first connecting part 1 is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded rod is connected with the threaded hole).

[0047] In actual control, the heat sink can be placed on the positioning member 7, and the distance between the second connecting part 6 and the first connecting part 1 is adjusted through the connecting member 8. The movable covering member 3 is in a position capable of covering the threaded hole of the heat sink, thereby playing a protective role on the threaded hole. The silicone grease is dipped, and the scraper is used to scrape back and forth in the storage tank 5, so as to ensure that the silicone grease is evenly coated on the corresponding position of the heat sink. Then, the first connecting part 1 does not need to be disassembled, and only the handle 9 needs to be pulled to expose the threaded hole of the heat sink by the movable covering member 3. In addition, the disposal port 2 also plays a positioning role on the installation of the insulating sheet, which is helpful for installation. After the installation of the insulating sheet is completed, the heat sink is taken out from the process equipment, and then the heat sink is installed in the printed circuit board by using a screw.

[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principles of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure without departing from the principles of the present application, so that the present application can be applied to more specific application scenarios, which do not deviate from the principles of the present application, and thus fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] For example, in an alternative embodiment, the first connecting part 1 described in the above embodiment before replacement can be provided with four disposal ports 2, and each disposal port 2 is provided with a covering member 3. Two of the covering members 3 are movably arranged on the first connecting part 1, which is replaced by:

[0050] The first connecting part 1 is provided with other number of disposal ports 2, such as one or two, etc. According to actual needs, when the positions of the heat sinks corresponding to part of the disposal ports 2 do not need to be provided with insulating sheets or do not have installation holes, the covering members 3 can also not be provided. The number of movable covering members 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the situation, such as one or four (not shown in the figure).

[0051] These do not deviate from the principles of the present application, and thus fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the movable covering 3 described in the above pre-alternative embodiment can also be provided with a handle 9, and the movement of the movable covering 3 can be realized by pushing and pulling the handle 9, which is replaced by:

[0053] The process equipment further comprises a driving member (not shown in the figure, which can be a linear motor, an electric push rod, a motor-driven gear driving a rack to move the movable covering 3, etc.), and each movable covering 3 is connected to the output end of the matched driving member; the driving member is arranged to be able to drive the covering 3 to cover or uncover a part of the space of the matched treatment port 2.

[0054] None of these deviates from the principles of the present application, and therefore all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0055] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the first connecting part 1 described in the above pre-alternative embodiment can also be provided with a storage tank 5, and the treatment port 2 is arranged in the storage tank 5, which is replaced by:

[0056] The storage tank 5 is not arranged, and the treatment port 2 is directly arranged in the first connecting part 1 (not shown in the figure).

[0057] None of these deviates from the principles of the present application, and therefore all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the positioning member 7 described in the above pre-alternative embodiment can also be a groove, which is replaced by:

[0059] The positioning member 7 is in other shapes or structures such as a protrusion, which can be matched with the corresponding position of the equipment to be processed such as a heat sink (not shown in the figure).

[0060] None of these deviates from the principles of the present application, and therefore all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0061] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the process equipment described in the above pre-alternative embodiment can also comprise a second connecting part 6, and the second connecting part 6 is provided with a positioning member 7, which is replaced by:

[0062] The second connecting part 6 is not arranged, and the positioning member 7 can be directly fixedly arranged on the ground (not shown in the figure).

[0063] In addition, it can also be replaced by: the second connecting part 6 and the positioning member 7 are not arranged (not shown in the figure).

[0064] None of these deviates from the principles of the present application, and therefore all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0065] For example, in another alternative implementation, the structure described in the previous implementation can be further improved by:

[0066] The process equipment also includes a sensing unit (not shown in the figure) and a control unit (not shown in the figure), which are communicatively connected. The sensing unit can be a camera, and the control unit obtains the operating status of the process equipment by recognizing and judging the images captured by the camera.

[0067] In addition, the sensing element can also be a combination of a pressure sensor, an infrared rangefinder, etc.

[0068] These do not deviate from the principles of the present invention, and therefore all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0069] Next, the control method of the present invention will be described.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the main steps of the present invention. The control method of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0071] S1. Match the processing port with the device to be processed.

[0072] The device to be processed is placed on the positioning component, and the distance between the second connecting part and the first connecting part is adjusted so that the treatment port and the device to be processed (a radiator is used as an example in this embodiment) are in a position that facilitates coating and positioning installation.

[0073] In addition, when the process equipment includes a sensing unit and a control unit, the sensing unit and the control unit are communicatively connected. At this time, the sensing unit can sense whether the equipment to be processed is matched with the processing port and the positioning component (for example, it can be determined by image recognition; it can also be determined by setting pressure sensors, infrared rangefinders, etc. Specifically, the pressure sensor can be set on the positioning component, and the infrared rangefinder can be set on the first connection part or the second connection part), and after the matching is completed, the next step is executed.

[0074] S2. Adjust the position of the movable cover so that it covers the mounting holes of the equipment.

[0075] The position of the movable cover can be adjusted manually by pushing and pulling.

[0076] In addition, when the process equipment includes a drive unit, the movable cover can also be moved by the drive unit to adjust its position.

[0077] In addition, when the process equipment includes a sensing unit and a control unit, the sensing unit and the control unit are communicatively connected. In this case, when the sensing unit detects that the processing port matches the equipment to be processed (for example, by image recognition), the control drive unit drives a movable cover to cover the mounting hole of the equipment.

[0078] S3. Apply the fluid to be coated onto the equipment through the treatment port.

[0079] S4. Adjust the position of the movable cover so that the movable cover does not cover the mounting holes of the equipment.

[0080] The position of the movable cover can be adjusted manually by pushing and pulling.

[0081] In addition, when the process equipment includes a sensing unit and a control unit, the sensing unit and the control unit are communicatively connected. In this case, when the sensing unit detects that the fluid to be coated is being applied to the equipment from the treatment port (for example, by image recognition), the control drive unit drives the movable cover to remove the cover from the mounting hole of the equipment.

[0082] S5. Install the mounting component from the treatment port into the mounting hole of the equipment.

[0083] In summary, this invention simplifies the original two processes of applying silicone grease and positioning and installing the insulating sheet into a single step. The processing port and movable cover reduce the difficulty of both application and installation while improving the accuracy of positioning and installation. This invention can complete the silicone grease application and insulating sheet positioning and installation of the heat sink in one operation, greatly improving the time efficiency and reducing labor costs of the entire air conditioner printed circuit board production line. This invention also reduces the number of operators required, significantly solving the problems of complex operations and high skill requirements in existing processes.

[0084] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described process equipment for coating and mounting also includes other known structures, such as processors, controllers, and memories. The memories include, but are not limited to, random access memory, flash memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, serial memory, parallel memory, or registers. The processors include, but are not limited to, CPLD / FPGA, DSP, ARM processors, and MIPS processors. To avoid unnecessarily obscuring the embodiments of the present invention, these known structures are not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0085] Of course, the alternative implementation methods described above, as well as the alternative implementation methods and preferred implementation methods, can be used in combination to create new implementation methods that are suitable for more specific application scenarios.

[0086] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
