Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip packaging equipment technology, specifically to a sealing device, a sealing device head, and a sealing process. Background Technology

[0002] Chips are extremely small, flat items with a wide variety of types and specifications. The number of chips transported is enormous, often reaching tens of thousands. To avoid problems such as mixing, shortages, or damage during transport, safe, reliable, and convenient transport tools are essential.

[0003] Currently, there are three main types of chip carriers in the industry: reels, plastic trays, and sealing tubes. The sealing tube consists of a tube and a plug; the tube is elongated with openings at both ends; the plug is used to seal the openings at both ends of the tube to encapsulate the chip inside.

[0004] In the market, the sealing of material tubes by material plugs is basically done manually, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Under long-term working conditions, the fingers, joints, and other parts of the manual laborer are prone to wear and tear, which is detrimental to the health and safety of the manual laborer.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a solution to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned defects remains a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sealing device, a sealing device head, and a sealing process. The sealing head can automatically complete the feeding of the material strip, the preparation of the material plug, and the pushing and assembly of the material plug into the material tube, which can reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve production efficiency, thereby ensuring product consistency and yield.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a sealing device head, comprising: a feeding component including a clamping part and a first driving part, the clamping part being capable of clamping or releasing a material strip, the first driving part being connected to the clamping part and used to drive the clamping part to move; a positioning component, located downstream of the feeding component, including a pressing part and a second driving part, the second driving part being connected to the pressing part and used to drive the pressing part to press or release the material strip fed by the feeding component; a cutting component including a cutting part and a third driving part, the third driving part being connected to the cutting part and used to drive the cutting part to cut the material strip pressed by the positioning component to obtain a material plug; a guiding component, configured with a guiding channel; and a sealing component including a pushing part and a fourth driving part, the fourth driving part being connected to the pushing part and used to drive the pushing part to push the material plug so that the material plug can be loaded into the material tube along the guiding channel.

[0008] In practical use, the feeding component clamps the material strip, and the first driving component drives the clamping component to move, thereby feeding the material strip to the positioning component. Then, the positioning component's pressing part can press the fed material strip to facilitate the subsequent cutting component's cutting of the material strip. Then, the cutting component can cut the material strip through the cutting part, thereby completing the preparation of the material plug. Then, different operations can be performed according to the pressing state of the pressing part. If the pressing part is still pressing the material plug, the pressing state of the material plug needs to be released first, and then the pushing part of the sealing component sends the material plug into the material tube to complete the sealing of the material tube by the material plug. If the pressing part is not pressing the material plug, the pushing part can directly push the material plug. During the material plug pushing process, the material plug moves within the guide channel of the guide component. The guide channel can guide the material plug and ensure the pushing direction of the material plug, which is conducive to ensuring that the material plug enters the material tube stably and accurately.

[0009] The aforementioned machine head can automatically complete the feeding of the material strip, the preparation of the material plug, and the pushing and assembly of the material plug into the material tube. This can greatly reduce manual labor, lower the intensity of manual labor, and improve the protection of workers' lives and health. Moreover, compared with manual assembly, machine assembly has relatively stable production efficiency, significantly improves the consistency of assembled products, and ensures a better product yield. In addition, the aforementioned machine head can integrate the preparation and assembly of the material plug, which can reduce workstations and save processes, which is itself beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of products.

[0078] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0079] In embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0080] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "linking" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0081] The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0082] In the description of embodiments of the present invention, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the material tube structure. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Side view, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the material strip structure. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the material plug formed after the material strip is cut.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the feed tube A used to hold the chip is typically a long, narrow tubular component with openings at both axial ends, allowing the chip to be loaded into feed tube A through either opening. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the material tube A perpendicular to the axial direction can be U-shaped; in addition, the cross-section of the material tube A perpendicular to the axial direction can also be circular, square or other irregular shapes, which need to be determined in combination with the actual usage requirements.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, strip B is a long strip-shaped component, typically made of materials with certain elastic properties such as silicone or rubber. Strip B has a specific dimension along its extension direction; therefore, in practical use, strip B needs to be cut to obtain a plug B1 with the required dimensions. The specific dimensions of strip B and plug B1 are not limited here; in practical applications, those skilled in the art can set them according to specific needs. Plug B1 can seal the openings at both ends of the feed tube A along its axial direction, thereby encapsulating the chip within the feed tube A and preventing the chip from falling out of the tube A.

[0087] The shape of the cross section of the material bar B (i.e., the material plug B1) perpendicular to the axial direction can be varied and is not limited here. It needs to be determined in conjunction with the shape of the material tube A, as long as it can reliably seal the opening of the material tube A.

[0088] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the material strip B perpendicular to the axial direction can be approximately T-shaped, including a horizontal portion B11 and a vertical portion B12. The vertical portion B12 is used to insert into the material tube A, while the horizontal portion B11 acts as a cap, abutting against the material tube A axially to limit the depth of the insertion of the material plug B1 into the material tube A. Furthermore, the vertical portion B12 may be provided with several ribs B13 to improve the connection reliability between the vertical portion B12 and the material tube A.

[0089] For ease of description, an XYZ Cartesian coordinate system can be constructed. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length direction of the material strip B is taken as the X-axis direction, which is also the width direction of the cut material plug B1. It should be understood that the X-axis direction here refers to the material strip B maintaining a straight-line extension state (e.g., ...). Figure 3 The length direction shown in the diagram does not represent the length direction of the strip B in the winding state; the thickness direction of the strip B is taken as the Y-axis direction, which is also the thickness direction of the plug B1; the insertion direction of the plug B1 and the tube A is taken as the Z-axis direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2When the feed tube A shown is straight, the Z-axis direction is also the extension direction of feed tube A.

[0090] As described in the background section, in the traditional solution, the insertion of the plug B1 and the tube A is all done manually. The manual labor intensity is high, the efficiency of manual assembly is unstable, the consistency of the products is poor, and the yield of the products is difficult to guarantee. Under long-term operation conditions, the fingers, joints and other parts of the manual workers are also prone to wear and tear, which is not conducive to ensuring the health and life of the manual workers.

[0091] To address this, this invention provides a sealing device head that can automatically complete the feeding of the material strip B, the preparation of the material plug B1, and the pushing and assembly of the material plug B1 into the material tube A. This greatly reduces manual labor intensity and enhances the protection of workers' health. Furthermore, compared to manual assembly, machine assembly has relatively stable production efficiency, significantly improves the consistency of assembled products, and ensures a better product yield. In addition, the aforementioned head can integrate the preparation and assembly of the material plug B1, reducing workstations and saving processes, which is itself beneficial for improving product assembly efficiency.

[0092] Example 1

[0093] Please refer to Figures 5-8 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sealing device head provided in the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 for Figure 5 The front view; Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the positioning component and the cutting section; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the second passageway.

[0094] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a sealing device head, including a feeding component 100, a positioning component 200, a cutting component 300, a guiding component 400, and a sealing component 500.

[0095] The feeding component 100 includes a clamping part 110 and a first driving part 120. The clamping part 110 can clamp or release the material strip B. The first driving part 120 is connected to the clamping part 110 and is used to drive the clamping part 110 to move, thereby realizing the feeding of the material strip B.

[0096] In detail, the clamping part 110 may include a clamping member 111 and a clamping drive member 112. The clamping drive member 112 may be connected to the clamping member 111 and used to drive the clamping member 111 to perform an action, thereby clamping or releasing the material strip B. The first drive part 120 may be connected to the clamping drive member 112 and used to drive the clamping drive member 112 to perform a displacement, thereby feeding the material strip B or resetting the clamping part 110.

[0097] There can be two clamping members 111. Both clamping members 111 can be connected to the clamping drive member 112. Under the action of the clamping drive member 112, the two clamping members 111 can move closer to each other or further away from each other, thereby achieving the clamping or release of the material strip B.

[0098] The specific structural form of the clamping drive component 112 is related to the motion form of the clamping component 111.

[0099] In some embodiments, the movement of the clamping member 111 can be rotational displacement, that is, the two clamping members 111 can move closer to each other or further apart by rotation. In this case, the clamping drive member 112 can be a drive element that can directly output rotational displacement, such as a motor or a rotary cylinder, in order to meet the action requirements of the clamping member 111.

[0100] In other embodiments, the movement of the clamping member 111 can be linear displacement, meaning that the two clamping members 111 can move closer to or further apart by translation; this embodiment can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 5 Specifically, the clamping member 111 can be displaced in the Y-axis direction. In this case, the aforementioned clamping drive member 112 can be a drive element that can directly output linear displacement, such as a linear cylinder or a linear hydraulic cylinder, to simplify the structure of the clamping drive member 112; or, the clamping drive member 112 can also be a motor, a rotary cylinder, or the like as a drive element. In this case, since the displacement directly output by the drive element such as the motor cannot meet the requirements of the clamping member 111, in specific use, a displacement conversion mechanism in the form of a gear rack mechanism or a lead screw mechanism can also be configured to convert the rotational displacement directly output by the drive element such as the motor into linear displacement, thereby meeting the displacement requirements of the clamping member 111.

[0101] Similarly, the structural form of the first driving part 120 is related to the displacement form required by the clamping part 110. In this embodiment of the invention, the displacement form required by the clamping part 110 is linear displacement, so as to realize the feeding of the material strip B by linear displacement, combined with Figure 5Specifically, the clamping part 110 can be displaced in the X-axis direction. Thus, the first drive part 120 can directly use a drive element capable of outputting linear displacement, such as a linear cylinder or linear hydraulic cylinder, to simplify the structure of the first drive part 120; alternatively, the first drive part 120 can also use a drive element capable of directly outputting rotational displacement, such as a motor or rotary cylinder. In this case, a displacement conversion mechanism of the form of a gear and rack mechanism or a lead screw mechanism can be used to convert the rotational displacement directly output by the drive element such as the motor into the linear displacement required by the clamping part 110.

[0102] In some alternative embodiments, the feed component 100 may further include a fixed base 130, the first drive unit 120 may be connected to the fixed base 130, and the clamping drive unit 112 may be mounted on the fixed base 130.

[0103] In other words, the clamping drive 112 can be indirectly connected to the first drive part 120 via the fixed base 130. The fixed base 130 acts as a transition connector, enabling the connection between the clamping drive 112 and the first drive part 120. In practice, the structure of the fixed base 130 can be adjusted according to the structural forms of the clamping drive 112 and the first drive part 120 to better meet the reliability requirements of the connection between them. The specific structural form of the fixed base 130 is not limited here. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can design it according to specific needs, as long as it meets the requirements of use.

[0104] The positioning component 200 is located downstream of the feed component 100, so as to... Figure 6 From a specific perspective, the positioning component 200 can be located to the left of the feed component 100. Combined with... Figure 7 The positioning component 200 includes a clamping part 210 and a second driving part 220. The second driving part 220 is connected to the clamping part 210 and is used to drive the clamping part 210 to perform an action, thereby clamping or releasing the material strip B fed by the feeding component 100. The specific displacement direction of the clamping part 210 can be the Y-axis direction, that is, the clamping part 210 can clamp the material strip B in the thickness direction.

[0105] The cutting component 300 includes a cutting section 310 and a third driving section 320. The third driving section 320 is connected to the cutting section 310 and is used to drive the cutting section 310 to cut the material strip B pressed by the positioning component 200 to obtain the material plug B1. The cutting section 310 can be a blade or the like, and its specific structural form, such as the cutting edge, is not limited here, as long as it can meet the requirements of cutting. The specific displacement direction of the cutting section 310 can be the Z-axis direction.

[0106] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 7The clamping part 210 may include two clamping heads 211, which may be spaced apart in the extension direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) of the strip B to form a clamping part 210 that is approximately U-shaped.

[0107] Both pressure heads 211 are used to press the material strip B. In the X-axis direction, the cutting part 310 can be located between the two pressure heads 211. In this way, the cutting part 310 actually cuts the material strip B located between the two pressure heads 211. The possibility of the material strip B moving around during the cutting process is small, and the cutting accuracy can be high. Moreover, after the cutting is completed, the cut plug B1 and the remaining material strip B can still be in a pressed state, which can largely prevent the position of the plug B1 from moving around after the cutting is completed. This is of positive significance for ensuring the accurate docking of the plug B1 and the material tube A in subsequent operations.

[0108] In fact, the clamping part 210 can also have only one pressure head 211. In this case, two clamping parts 210 can be configured to clamp the material plug B1 and the remaining material strip B respectively. The two clamping parts 210 can be driven synchronously, so the positioning part 200 can simultaneously clamp or release the material plug B1 and the remaining material strip B. Alternatively, the two clamping parts 210 can be driven separately, so the clamping and releasing of the material plug B1 and the remaining material strip B can be different.

[0109] Of course, in some other embodiments, the clamping part 210 may have only one clamping head 211, and the number of clamping parts 210 may be only one. In this case, the clamping part 210 may not clamp the material plug B1, which is also feasible.

[0110] The guide member 400 is provided with a guide channel. Specifically, the guide channel may extend in the Z-axis direction, and the material tube A may be located on the lower side of the guide member 400 in the Z-axis direction (not shown in the figure), and the material tube A may be opposite to the guide channel.

[0111] The sealing component 500 includes a pushing part 510 and a fourth driving part 520. The fourth driving part 520 and the pushing part 510 can be connected to drive the pushing part 510 to push the material plug B1 so that the material plug B1 can be loaded into the material tube A along the guide channel. The specific displacement direction of the pushing part 510 can be the Z-axis direction.

[0112] The specific structural forms of the second drive unit 220, the third drive unit 320 and the fourth drive unit 520 can be found in the first drive unit 120 mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0113] Using the above scheme, in specific use, the clamping part 110 of the feeding part 100 can clamp the material strip B, and the first driving part 120 can drive the clamping part 110 to move, thereby feeding the material strip B to the positioning part 200; then, the pressing part 210 of the positioning part 200 can press the fed material strip B, so as to facilitate the subsequent cutting part 300 to cut the material strip B; then, the cutting part 300 can complete the cutting of the material strip B through the cutting part 310, thereby completing the preparation of the material plug B1; then, different operations can be performed according to the pressing state of the pressing part 210, such as... If the clamping part 210 also clamps the material plug B1, the clamping state of the material plug B1 needs to be released first, and then the pushing part 510 of the sealing part 500 sends the material plug B1 into the material tube A to complete the sealing of the material tube A by the material plug B1. If the clamping part 210 does not clamp the material plug B1, the pushing part 510 can directly push the material plug B1. During the pushing process of the material plug B1, the material plug B1 is displaced in the guide channel of the guide part 400. The guide channel can guide the material plug B1 and ensure the pushing direction of the material plug B1, which is conducive to ensuring that the material plug B1 enters the material tube A stably and accurately.

[0114] Afterwards, different operations can still be performed according to the clamping state of the clamping part 210. If the clamping part 210 releases the remaining material strip B while releasing the material plug B1, then the clamping part 210 of the positioning component 200 can be controlled again to clamp the material strip B and the clamping part 110 can be released from clamping the material strip B. If the clamping part 210 does not release the remaining material strip B1, the clamping part 110 can be released from clamping the material strip B directly. Then, the clamping part 110 is controlled to reset by the first drive part 120. After the clamping part 110 is reset, it can clamp the material strip B again. Then, the clamping part 210 can release the clamping of the material strip B so that the feeding component 100 can feed the material strip B again.

[0115] In this way, the feeding, cutting and pushing of material strip B can be realized periodically, and the sealing operation of material tube A can be carried out continuously.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, the machine head provided in this invention may further include a mounting plate 800, on which the aforementioned first drive unit 120, second drive unit 220, third drive unit 320, guide component 400, and fourth drive unit 520 may all be mounted. In this way, the entire machine head can be integrated and assembled on the mounting plate 800, significantly improving the integration of the equipment and enabling convenient overall disassembly, assembly, and relocation of the machine head.

[0117] In detail, both the first drive unit 120 and the second drive unit 220 can be directly mounted on the mounting plate 800; the sealing component 500 can include a first mounting base 530, which can be mounted on the mounting plate 800, and the fourth drive unit 520 can be mounted on the first mounting base 530, so as to be indirectly mounted on the mounting plate 800 through the first mounting base 530, thereby making it easy to adjust the installation position of the fourth drive unit 520.

[0118] Combination Figure 5 In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the first mounting base 530 may include a vertical plate portion 531 extending along the Z-axis direction and a horizontal plate portion 532 extending along the X-axis direction. The vertical plate portion 531 may be located on the upper side of the mounting plate 800 and may be connected to the mounting plate 800. The horizontal plate portion 532 may be connected to the vertical plate portion 531. The fourth drive portion 520 may be mounted on the horizontal plate portion 532, so that the mounting height of the fourth drive portion 520 can be easily adjusted.

[0119] It should be understood that the accompanying drawings are merely an exemplary structural illustration of the first mounting base 530 and should not be considered as the only structural limitation of the first mounting base 530. In fact, the first mounting base 530 may also adopt other structural forms while satisfying the functional requirements. For example, the first mounting base 530 may also include only the vertical plate portion 531, and the fourth drive portion 520 may be directly mounted on the vertical plate portion 531.

[0120] The cutting component 300 may include a second mounting base 330, which may be mounted on the first mounting base 530 to improve the integration of the device. The aforementioned third drive unit 320 may be mounted on the second mounting base 330, and the second mounting base 330 may be provided with a clearance hole 331 to avoid the pusher 510, so as to facilitate the passage of the pusher 510.

[0121] It should be understood that in some other embodiments of the present invention, the second mounting base 330 may not be provided with the above-mentioned clearance hole 331. In this embodiment, it is sufficient as long as the second mounting base 330 as a whole can make way for the pushing part 510. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the second mounting base 330 and the first mounting base 530 may be independent of each other, as long as it does not affect the installation and use of the third driving part 320 and the fourth driving part 520.

[0122] In some optional embodiments, the die head provided in the present invention may further include a feeding component 600, which is used to feed the material strip B.

[0123] In practice, the material strip B from the feeding component 600 can be manually pulled to the feeding component 100 by the operator, and then the feeding component 100 can complete the feeding of the material strip B. In this case, the machine head provided in this embodiment of the invention is a semi-automatic device, and the structure of the device can be relatively simple. Alternatively, the feeding component 600 can automatically complete the feeding of the material strip B to the feeding component 100. In this implementation, the feeding component 600 can also be equipped with a driving element to realize the movement of the material strip B to the feeding component 100. The driving element can specifically be a robotic arm + industrial camera, etc. In this case, the machine head provided in this embodiment of the invention is a fully automatic device, with a higher degree of automation and simpler operation.

[0124] Both of the above-mentioned implementation methods can be used in practice. The following embodiments of the present invention mainly use the former as an example to illustrate the structure of the feeding component 600.

[0125] Still Figure 5 As shown, the feeding component 600 may include a material roller 610, which may be equipped with two baffles 620 spaced apart in its axial direction. The material strip B may be wound and assembled on the material roller 610, and the material strip B may be located between the two baffles 620. The two baffles 620 are used to block the material strip B to reduce the possibility of the material strip B coming off the material roller 610.

[0126] The feeding component 600 may also include a third mounting base 630, which may also be mounted on the mounting plate 800 to achieve integrated assembly of the feeding component 600 on the mounting plate 800. The aforementioned material roller 610 may be mounted on the third mounting base 630 and may rotate relative to the third mounting base 630 to supply the material strip B.

[0127] In some optional embodiments, the head provided in this invention may further include a detection component 700 for detecting whether the material strip B has passed by, thereby determining whether there is a shortage of material, so as to remind the staff to replenish the material strip B in a timely manner.

[0128] In detail, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection component 700 may include a detection sensor 710 and a fourth mounting base 720. The fourth mounting base 720 may be mounted on the mounting plate 800 to integrate the detection component 700 onto the mounting plate 800, thereby improving the integration of the device to a greater extent. The detection sensor 710 may be mounted on the fourth mounting base 720.

[0129] The detection sensor 710 can be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an electromagnetic wave sensor, or a limit switch, as long as it can detect whether the material strip B has passed through.

[0130] In some optional embodiments, the machine head provided in this invention may further include a guide passage component 900, which may also be mounted on the mounting plate 800 to further improve the integration of the equipment. Specifically, the material strip B can move within the guide passage component 900, thereby ensuring the displacement direction and posture of the material strip B. This is of positive significance for ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutting and pushing. In specific operation, the material strip B can be manually inserted into the guide passage component 900.

[0131] Specifically, the guide passageway component 900 may include a first passageway 910 and a second passageway 920 spaced apart from each other, wherein the first passageway 910 may be located upstream of the second passageway 920, so as to... Figure 6 From a specific perspective, the first passage 910 can be located to the right of the second passage 920, and the clamping part 110 can be located between the first passage 910 and the second passage 920. In this way, when the clamping part 110 drives the material strip B to move, the direction of the material strip B can be more easily guaranteed; the detection sensor 710 can be located upstream of the first passage 910.

[0132] The first passageway 910 can specifically be a plate-like structure, on which a through hole can be provided for the feed strip B to pass through. This through hole can realize the initial adjustment of the feed strip B to ensure the posture of the feed strip B during the feeding process. Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the through hole. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can design it according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0133] Combination Figure 8 The second passageway 920 may include a passageway body 921, which may be provided with a guide groove 921a. Specifically, the guide groove 921a may extend in the X-axis direction to guide the displacement direction of the material strip B. Furthermore, the guide groove 921a may also limit the deformation of the material strip B in the Y-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensuring the posture of the material strip B in the Y-axis direction.

[0134] Furthermore, the second passageway 920 may also include a cover plate 922, which can block the opening of the guide groove 921a to limit the deformation of the strip B in the Z-axis direction, which helps to ensure the posture of the strip B in the Z-axis direction.

[0135] The cover plate 922 may also be provided with a perforated structure 922a, which can penetrate the cover plate 922 in the Z-axis direction and can communicate with the guide groove 921a. Specifically, the perforated structure 922a can be an observation structure for observing the condition of the material strip B in the guide groove 921a. Once the material strip B is severely deformed, causing the material strip B to be unable to feed stably, the operator can intervene in time to adjust the condition of the material strip B in the guide groove 921a, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of failures.

[0136] Still Figure 8 As shown, the passageway body 921 may also be provided with a passageway guide surface 921b to guide the material strip B, making it easier for the material strip B to enter the guide groove 921a. The number of passageway guide surfaces 921b can be one or two, depending on actual needs.

[0137] It should be understood that the above-described guide passageway component 900, including the first passageway 910 and the second passageway 920, is merely an exemplary illustration of an embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as the sole limitation on the structure of the guide passageway component 900. Under the condition of satisfying the function, the guide passageway component 900 may also adopt other structures. For example, the guide passageway component 900 may also include only one of the first passageway 910 and the second passageway 920; or, the guide track component 900 may include a greater number of passageways.

[0138] Please refer to Figures 9-17 , Figure 9 A structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the guide component; Figure 10 for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the central guide component from another perspective, concealing the adjustable guide section; Figure 11 This is a diagram showing the connection structure between the base and the elastic element; Figure 12 for Figure 11 A sectional view; Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the matrix structure; Figure 14 for Figure 13 A sectional view; Figure 15 for Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of a floating body; Figure 16 for Figure 15 A cross-sectional view from one perspective; Figure 17 for Figure 15 A cross-sectional view from another perspective.

[0139] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the guide component 400 may include a base 410, a floating body 420, and an elastic member 430. The aforementioned guide channel may include a first channel segment 410a and a second channel segment 420a. The first channel segment 410a may be disposed on the base 410, and the second channel segment 420a may be disposed on the floating body 420. Both the first channel segment 410a and the second channel segment 420a may extend in the Z-axis direction. One end of the elastic member 430 interacts with the base 410, and the other end interacts with the floating body 420. The first channel segment 410a and the second channel segment 420a may be connected, allowing the feed plug B1 to enter the second channel segment 420a through the first channel segment 410a. The floating body 420 may be slidably mounted on the base 410.

[0140] After the feed plug B1 enters the second channel section 420a, at least some parts of the feed plug B1 and the second channel section 420a can be tightly fitted to generate a frictional driving force on the floating body 420, thereby allowing the floating body 420 to extend relative to the base 410. In this way, the floating body 420 can be closer to the feed tube A, reducing or even eliminating the gap between the guide member 400 and the feed tube A, thus better ensuring that the feed plug B1 can be in a preset posture (…). Figure 4 The elastic element 430 enters the material pipe A in a neutral posture, thus better sealing the material pipe A. During this process, the deformation of the elastic element 430 can continuously increase to accumulate elastic potential energy.

[0141] After the feed plug B1 disengages from the second channel section 420a, the elastic potential energy accumulated in the elastic element 430 can be released, causing the floating body 420 to reset relative to the base 410. In this way, the distance between the floating body 420 and the feed tube A can be increased, and the possibility of collision interference between the guide component 400 and the feed tube A can be greatly reduced when the relative displacement occurs between the entire die head and the hopper where the feed tube A is placed, thereby achieving the blocking of different feed tubes A.

[0142] Here, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the displacement distance of the floating body 420 relative to the base 410. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can adjust it as needed, as long as it meets the requirements of use. For example, the displacement distance of the floating body 420 relative to the base 410 can be between 2.5mm and 3.5mm, for example, it can be 3mm.

[0143] Along the direction close to the feed tube A, at least a portion of at least one of the first channel segment 410a and the second channel segment 420a can be tapered. This allows for better guidance of the feed plug B1. As the feed plug B1 moves within the first channel segment 410a and the second channel segment 420a, a tight fit can gradually form between the feed plug B1 and the corresponding channel segment, which is more conducive to ensuring that the posture of the feed plug B1 remains unchanged, thereby allowing the feed plug B1 to enter the feed tube A in a preset posture.

[0144] In some alternative embodiments, the substrate 410 may also be provided with a first release groove 410b that communicates with the first channel segment 410a.

[0145] The location of the first release groove 410b is not limited here; in practice, those skilled in the art can set it according to specific needs. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, as... Figure 10 As shown, the first release groove 410b can be disposed on both sides of the base 410 in the Y-axis direction, thereby releasing the deformation of the material plug B1 in the thickness direction (specifically, arching). Of course, the first release groove 410b can also be disposed on both sides of the base 410 in the X-axis direction, thereby releasing the deformation of the material plug B1 in the width direction, which is also feasible.

[0146] By setting the first release groove 410b, the deformation of the material plug B1 during its movement within the first channel section 410a can be released, which can reduce the friction between the material plug B1 and the base 410, thereby reducing the wear of the material plug B1 and the generation of friction debris, and better ensuring the structural integrity of the material plug B1. This is also of positive significance for ensuring the reliable assembly of the subsequent material plug B1 and the material tube A.

[0147] Combination Figures 11-14 The substrate 410 may include a main substrate 411 and a split substrate 412. The split substrate 412 may include two base lobe bodies 412a arranged opposite to each other. Both base lobe bodies 412a may be connected to the main substrate 411.

[0148] The main body base 411 may include a substrate 411a, which is used to mount and fix the guide component 400 on the mounting plate 800, so as to realize the integrated assembly of the guide component 400 on the mounting plate 800, thereby improving the integration.

[0149] The substrate 411a may be provided with a guide member 411b for guiding the entry of the material strip B. Here, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific structural form of the guide member 411b. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can design it according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0150] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 9 As shown, the guide member 411b may include a fixed guide portion 411b-1 and an adjustable guide portion 411b-2. The fixed guide portion 411b-1 and the substrate 411a may be an integral structure, or the fixed guide portion 411b-1 and the substrate 411a may be fixedly connected, that is, their relative positions may remain unchanged. The position of the adjustable guide portion 411b-2 relative to the substrate 411a can be adjusted. In this way, the distance between the adjustable guide portion 411b-2 and the fixed guide portion 411b-1 can be adjusted, which can accommodate the entry of material strips B of different thicknesses, thereby improving the versatility of the guide member 400.

[0151] Combination Figure 10 The substrate 411a may be provided with a mounting groove 411a-1, into which the adjustable guide portion 411b-2 can be fitted. A threaded connector (not shown in the figure) may also be provided, which can be threadedly connected to the adjustable guide portion 411b-2, and can also be connected to the substrate 411a. With this design, the mounting groove 411a-1 can guide and limit the displacement of the adjustable guide portion 411b-2. Then, by tightening the threaded connector, the adjustable guide portion 411b-2 can be moved relative to the substrate 411a, thereby changing the distance between the adjustable guide portion 411b-2 and the fixed guide portion 411b-1. Specifically, the threaded connector may be a lead screw, adjusting screw, etc.

[0152] It should be understood that the above-described scheme of using a threaded connector and an adjustable guide 411b-2 to drive the adjustable guide 411b-2 to move is merely an exemplary illustration of an embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of the machine head provided in the embodiment of the present invention. Under the condition of satisfying the function, the adjustable guide 411b-2 can also be adjusted in other ways. For example, the adjustable guide 411b-2 may be provided with a slotted hole, through which a connector such as a screw can pass and connect to the base plate 411a. By adjusting the installation position of the connector within the slotted hole, the position of the adjustable guide 411b-2 can also be adjusted.

[0153] At least one of the adjustable guide part 411b-2 and the fixed guide part 411b-1 may be provided with a strip guide surface 411b-1a for guiding the entry of the strip B.

[0154] In some alternative embodiments, the substrate 411a may also be provided with a cutting guide groove 411c for guiding the movement of the cutting part 310, thereby better guiding the displacement of the cutting part 310.

[0155] Combination Figure 10 The substrate 411a may be provided with two guide blocks 411a-2 spaced apart in the X-axis direction, and the cutting guide groove 411c may be formed between at least the two guide blocks 411a-2. Furthermore, the guide blocks 411a-2 may also be provided with a clearance surface 411a-2a. This clearance surface 411a-2a prevents the guide blocks 411a-2 from obstructing the transverse portion B11 of the material strip B, thereby improving the smoothness of the material strip B's feeding. Of course, in practical applications, the obstruction of the material strip B can also be avoided by controlling the position of the guide blocks 411a-2.

[0156] Both guide blocks 411a-2 can have clamping grooves 411e formed on both sides in the X-axis direction. The two pressure heads 211 of the clamping part 210 can be inserted into the two clamping grooves 411e respectively and can clamp the material strip B.

[0157] In some alternative embodiments, the substrate 411a may also be provided with a push guide groove 411d for guiding the movement of the push part 510, thereby achieving better displacement guidance for the push part 510. It should be understood that the push guide groove 411d only guides the push part 510 into the guide channel, and then the guide channel itself can also guide the displacement of the push part 510.

[0158] Combination Figure 12 The base lobe 412a has a first opposing surface 412a-1. The first opposing surfaces 412a-1 of the two base lobe bodies 412a can be arranged facing each other. Each of the two first opposing surfaces 412a-1 is provided with a first groove 412a-2, and the two first grooves 412a-2 enclose a first channel segment 410a. In the width direction of the first groove 412a-2, that is, in the Y-axis direction, the area of ​​the two first opposing surfaces 412a-1 where the first groove 412a-2 is not provided can be enclosed to form a first release groove 410b, thus forming two first release grooves 410b. It should be understood that the number of first release grooves 410b can also be one; in this case, the aforementioned split base 412 may not be present.

[0159] The base 410 may also be provided with an installation channel 410c, which can be connected to the first channel segment 410a. A limiting step surface 410d can be formed between the installation channel 410c and the first channel segment 410a. The floating body 420 can be installed in the installation channel 410c and can abut against the limiting step surface 410d along the Z-axis direction to limit one extreme relative position of the floating body 420 and the base 410 in the Z-axis direction. The other extreme relative position of the floating body 420 and the base 410 in the Z-axis direction can be limited by the elastic element 430.

[0160] In detail, such as Figure 14As shown, along the direction away from the main body base 411, the base lobe body 412a may include a channel lobe 412a-3 and a mounting lobe 412a-4 connected to each other, thus there are two channel lobes 412a-3 and two mounting lobes 412a-4 arranged opposite to each other; a limiting surface 410d-1 can be formed between the channel lobe 412a-3 and the mounting lobe 412a-4 of the same base lobe body 412a, and the two limiting surfaces 410d-1 can be combined to form the aforementioned limiting step surface 410d; a portion of the first channel segment 410a and the aforementioned first release groove 410b can be formed between the two channel lobes 412a-3.

[0161] Combination Figure 13 , Figure 14 as well as Figure 15 The mounting petals 412a-4 may also be provided with a sliding groove 412a-4a. The floating body 420 may include a floating main body 421 and a floating guide 422. The floating main body 421 may be located between the two mounting petals 412a-4, and the floating guide 422 may be located in the sliding groove 412a-4a. Through the cooperation of the floating guide 422 and the sliding groove 412a-4a, the displacement of the floating body 420 relative to the base 410 can be guided to improve the stability of the floating body 420 during the displacement process. At least a portion of the elastic member 430 may also be located in the sliding groove 412a-4a and may interact with the floating guide 422. The floating main body 421 may be provided with the aforementioned second channel section 420a.

[0162] The mounting petal 412a-4 may also be provided with a mounting port 412a-4b that communicates with the slide groove 412a-4a. The floating guide part 422 can be assembled into the slide groove 412a-4a through the mounting port 412a-4b to realize the assembly of the floating body 420 relative to the base 410.

[0163] Here, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific structural form of the elastic element 430. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can design it according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use. For example, the elastic element 430 can be an elastic element of various forms, such as a spring, tension rope, bellows, rubber / silicone, or other elastic materials with elastic properties. In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, as... Figure 12 and Figure 14As shown, the elastic element 430 can be a spring positioning post, including an outer tube 431, an inner core 432 and a spring (not shown in the figure). The mounting flap 412a-4 is provided with a mounting hole 412a-4c extending along the Z-axis direction. The outer tube 431 can be threaded into the mounting hole 412a-4c. The inner core 432 can be mounted into the outer tube 431 and can extend or retract relative to the outer tube 431. The spring can be disposed in the outer tube 431 and can interact with the inner core 432 for the reset of the inner core 432.

[0164] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 15 The floating body 421 may be provided with a second release groove 421c, which is connected to the second channel section 420a. The second release groove 421c is used to release the deformation of the material plug B1 in its thickness direction (Y-axis direction). And / or, the floating body 421 may also be provided with a third release groove 421d, which is connected to the second channel section 420a. The third release groove 421d is used to release the deformation of the material plug B1 in its width direction (X-axis direction). By providing the second release groove 421c and / or the third release groove 421d, the deformation of the material plug B1 during its movement within the second channel section 420a can be released, reducing the friction between the material plug B1 and the floating body 420. This reduces wear on the material plug B1 and the generation of friction debris, better ensuring the structural integrity of the material plug B1. This is also of positive significance for ensuring the reliable assembly of the material plug B1 and the material tube A.

[0165] Similar to the structural design of the base 410, the floating main body 421 may also include a floating base 421a and a floating sub-body 421b. The floating sub-body 421b may include two floating petals 421b-1 arranged opposite to each other, and both floating petals 421b-1 can be connected to the floating base 421a.

[0166] Combination Figure 16 The two floating valve bodies 421b-1 may have two opposing second facing surfaces 421b-1a, and each of the two second facing surfaces 421b-1a may be provided with a second groove 421b-1b. The two second grooves 421b-1b may enclose and form a portion of the second channel segment 420a. In the width direction (Y-axis direction) of the second groove 421b-1b, the area of ​​the two second facing surfaces 421b-1a where the second groove 421b-1b is not provided may enclose and form a second release groove 421c. The floating valve body 421b-1 may also be provided with a third release groove 421d, which may be connected to the second groove 421b-1b.

[0167] The specific dimensions of the first release groove 410b, the second release groove 421c, and the third release groove 421d are not limited here. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can design them according to specific needs, as long as they can meet the requirements of use.

[0168] In addition, during the actual processing, the interior of the first channel section 410a and the second channel section 420a can be designed to be smooth, which can reduce the wear on the feed plug B1 and ensure the structural integrity of the feed plug B1 to a greater extent.

[0169] Please refer to Figure 18 , Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the guide component.

[0170] like Figure 18 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the guide member 400 may only include the base 410, that is, the floating body 420 may be omitted, which is also feasible. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the guide member 411b is composed of two fixed guide parts 411b-1, and each of the two fixed guide parts 411b-1 may be provided with a material strip guide surface 411b-1a.

[0171] Example 2

[0172] The present invention also provides a sealing device, including the sealing device head involved in the various embodiments of the aforementioned embodiment 1.

[0173] Since the sealing device head involved in Embodiment 1 already possesses the above-mentioned technical effects, the sealing device with the same head should also possess similar technical effects, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0174] In some optional embodiments, the sealing device provided by the present invention may further include a shifting mechanism (not shown in the figure), which may be connected to the head drive for controlling the head to shift, thereby allowing different material tubes A to be fitted with material plugs B1.

[0175] The specific structural form of the shifting mechanism is not limited here. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can configure it according to specific needs, as long as it meets the requirements of use. For example, the shifting mechanism can be a three-way shifter, including three slide rails extending along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and sliders that can slide along the three slide rails respectively. With the cooperation of drive elements such as motors, cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders, displacement adjustment in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions can be realized.

[0176] It should be understood that in practice, the machine head may not move, but the material box of the material tube A may move, which can also achieve the purpose of assembling the material plug B1 for different material tubes A.

[0177] Example 3

[0178] Please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of the sealing process provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0179] like Figure 19 As shown, the present invention also provides a sealing process applicable to the machine head of the sealing equipment involved in various embodiments of Embodiment 1. The sealing process may include the following steps S1 to S6.

[0180] In the feeding step S1, the feed unit 100 controls the feeding of the strip B. Specifically, the clamping part 110 clamps the strip B, and the first drive part 120 drives the clamping part 110 to move, thereby completing the feeding of the strip B.

[0181] In the first pressing step S2, the feed strip B is pressed by the pressing part 210.

[0182] In the cutting step S3, the pressed material strip B is cut by the cutting part 310 to obtain the material plug B1.

[0183] In the pushing step S4, the cutting plug B1 is loaded into the material tube A along the guide channel of the guide member 400 by the pushing unit 510.

[0184] In reset step S5, the clamping part 110 is controlled to release the material bar B and reset, and then the clamping part 110 is used to clamp the material bar B.

[0185] In the first release step S6, the clamping part 210 is controlled to release the material strip B. Then, the aforementioned feeding step S1 to the first release step S6 are repeated, so that the feeding of the material strip B, the preparation and pushing of the plug B1 can be completed periodically, thereby enabling continuous sealing operations.

[0186] In some alternative embodiments, after the cutting step S3, the clamping part 210 can also clamp the cut material plug B1. Then, before the pushing step S4, a second release step S31 can be included, in which the clamping part 210 is controlled to release the material plug B1 to avoid interfering with the pushing step S4.

[0187] In the second release step S31 described above, if the clamping part 210 also releases the remaining strip B at the same time, then before the reset step S5, a second clamping step S41 may be included, in which the clamping part 210 clamps the remaining strip B to clamp and position the strip B again before the clamping part 110 prepares to release the strip B. This avoids the strip B being in a non-positioned state during operation and prevents the strip B from shifting in the X-axis direction, which is beneficial for ensuring the feed rate of the strip B and the size of the feed plug B1.

[0188] Before the feeding step S1, a loading step S0 may be included, in which the material strip B is provided to the feeding component 100. This loading step S0 can be performed by a machine or manually, depending on the structure of the machine head.

[0189] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
