Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of flipping equipment, and in particular to a battery cooler liquid cooling plate flipping equipment. Background Art

[0002] The liquid cooling plate is an important component of the battery cooler in the new energy vehicle battery system. It mainly achieves the cooling effect on the vehicle battery pack by circulating the coolant in the flow channel.

[0003] like Figure 1 The liquid cooling plate 1 is generally composed of a base plate 11 and a flow channel plate 12, and the base plate 11 and the flow channel plate 12 are connected by a brazing process. During the brazing process of the liquid cooling plate 1, the base plate 11 and the flow channel plate 12 need to be placed on a brazing rack together and the flow channel surface of the flow channel plate 12 should be kept facing upward so that the base plate 11 and the flow channel plate 12 can be placed stably, and then the brazing rack is sent into a brazing furnace to braze the base plate 11 and the flow channel plate 12 to form the liquid cooling plate 1.

[0004] In the related technology, after the liquid cooling plate brazing process is completed, the substrate of the liquid cooling plate needs to be inspected by visual inspection equipment to determine whether the flatness of the substrate and the positions of the holes on the substrate are qualified. Since the substrate is located at the bottom of the flow channel plate, the liquid cooling plate needs to be manually removed from the brazing frame and clamped on the cage-type flip mechanism before inspection. The cage-type flip mechanism then flips the liquid cooling plate 180° until the substrate of the liquid cooling plate faces upward, and then the substrate of the liquid cooling plate is inspected by visual inspection equipment.

[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, currently when the liquid cooling plate is turned over by the turning device, manual assistance is required, which is inconvenient and inefficient, and when the liquid cooling plate is larger in size, the turning difficulty will be further increased. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to facilitate the flipping operation of the liquid cooling plate, the present application provides a battery cooler liquid cooling plate flipping device.

[0007] The present application provides a battery cooler liquid cooling plate flipping device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A battery cooler liquid cooling plate turning device, comprising a conveyor belt, a limiting mechanism and a turning mechanism;

[0009] The conveyor belt is used to convey the brazing rack; the limiting mechanism and the turning mechanism are both arranged on the conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0010] The limiting mechanism comprises a limiting portion, and the limiting portion is used to limit and fix the brazing frame;

[0011] The flipping mechanism is arranged close to the limiting mechanism; the flipping mechanism is connected with the visual inspection equipment used in conjunction with the battery cooler liquid cooling plate flipping equipment; the flipping mechanism has a grabbing portion for grabbing the liquid cooling plate; the flipping mechanism is used to grab the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame of the limiting mechanism, and flip the liquid cooling plate until the substrate of the liquid cooling plate is located below the visual inspection equipment.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when flipping the liquid cooling plate, the brazing frame with the liquid cooling plate to be inspected is conveyed to the limiting mechanism through the conveyor belt, and after the brazing frame is limited and fixed by the limiting part of the limiting mechanism, the flipping mechanism grabs and flips the liquid cooling plate on the brazing plate through the grabbing part until the substrate of the liquid cooling plate is located under the visual inspection device. Compared with the traditional method of manually clamping the liquid cooling plate to the flipping device and then flipping the liquid cooling plate by the flipping device, the manual operation steps are reduced, the flipping operation of the liquid cooling plate is simplified, the overall operation efficiency is improved, and the flipping operation of the liquid cooling plate is simpler and more convenient.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting part includes a plurality of limiting blocks, the limiting blocks are blocked at the output end of the limiting mechanism and the limiting blocks are arranged to move up and down;

[0014] When the turning mechanism grabs the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame of the limiting mechanism, the limiting block moves downward to open the output end of the limiting mechanism.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor belt transports the brazing rack until the brazing rack abuts against the limit block, so as to achieve temporary limiting of the brazing rack, so that the subsequent flipping mechanism can grab the liquid cooling plate on the brazing rack through the grabbing part; when the subsequent flipping mechanism grabs the liquid cooling plate from the brazing rack through the grabbing part, the limit block is moved downward to open the output end of the limit mechanism, so that the conveyor belt can transport the brazing rack in an empty state backward.

[0016] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping frame and two flipping supports; the grabbing portion is located on the flipping frame; the two flipping supports are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt; the flipping end of the flipping frame is connected to a flipping shaft, and both ends of the flipping shaft are respectively rotatably connected to the two flipping supports, and the flipping mechanism also includes a flipping driving member, which is drivably connected to the flipping shaft to drive the flipping frame to flip axially around the flipping shaft.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the liquid cooling plate is grasped and flipped by the flipping mechanism, the flipping driving component drives the flipping frame to swing toward the direction of the brazing frame near the limiting mechanism. After the flipping frame grasps the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame through the grasping part, the flipping driving component drives the flipping frame to flip the grasped liquid cooling plate to the bottom of the visual inspection equipment, thereby completing the grasping and flipping of the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame.

[0018] Preferably, the grabbing portion comprises a sponge suction cup mounted on the flip frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the flow channel plate of the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame faces upward, resulting in an uneven upper surface of the liquid cooling plate. By setting the sponge suction cup and utilizing the good adaptability of the sponge suction cup, the gripping part can grip and fix the liquid cooling plate more firmly, and effectively reduce the wear of the liquid cooling plate when the gripping part grips the liquid cooling plate.

[0020] Preferably, the flipping mechanism further comprises two lifting drive components, the two lifting drive components are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt, the two lifting drive components are respectively connected to the two flipping supports for driving, and the lifting drive components are used to drive the corresponding flipping supports to lift and lower vertically.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flipping mechanism grabs the liquid cooling plate on the brazing rack, the flipping driving component first drives the flipping frame to flip above the brazing rack and keeps the flipping frame parallel to the liquid cooling plate, and then drives the flipping frame downward by the lifting driving component to grab the liquid cooling plate through the sponge suction cup on the flipping frame, ensuring that the multiple sponge suction cups on the flipping frame can all smoothly and accurately contact the liquid cooling plate on the brazing rack, so that the subsequent sponge suction cups can more firmly grasp the liquid cooling plate.

[0022] Preferably, the lifting drive member includes a lifting support, on which a lifting cylinder is vertically mounted upward, and a piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the corresponding flip support.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the two lifting cylinders drive the piston rods to extend and retract, thereby driving the flip frame to move up and down vertically, making the lifting of the flip frame simpler and more convenient.

[0024] Preferably, a clamping mechanism is also supported above the conveyor belt, and the clamping mechanism includes a plurality of clamping blocks and the clamping blocks are arranged to move up and down;

[0025] When the flip mechanism drives the flip frame to flip to above the brazing frame of the limiting mechanism through the flip driving component, and drives the flip frame to move downward through the lifting driving component until the sponge suction cup abuts against the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate, the pressing block moves downward to press the cantilevered end of the flip frame.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting drive component drives the flip frame to move downward to grab the liquid cooling plate of the brazing frame through the sponge suction cup, the pressing block is moved downward to press the cantilevered end of the flip frame through the pressing block, so that several sponge suction cups on the flip frame can fit tightly on the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate, limiting the flip frame from warping up due to the concave and convex surface of the flow channel plate above the liquid cooling plate, so that the sponge suction cups on the flip frame can more firmly grab the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame.

[0027] Preferably, a backlight bracket is also supported on the conveyor belt, and a backlight panel is provided on the backlight bracket. When the flip drive drives the flip frame to flip below the visual inspection device, the backlight bracket is located at the bottom of the flip frame.

[0028] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the flip driving component drives the flip frame and the liquid cooling plate grasped by the grasping part to flip to the bottom of the visual inspection equipment, the backlight panel on the backlight bracket located at the bottom of the flip frame can be used to fill in the light on the surrounding side of the liquid cooling plate, thereby facilitating the visual inspection equipment to better perform relevant inspections on the substrate part of the liquid cooling plate on the flip frame.

[0029] Preferably, the lifting supports are vertically provided with support rods, and the ends of the flip shafts are provided with support plates corresponding to the support rods on the lifting supports;

[0030] The backlight bracket is also supported by a clamping cylinder, and a clamping rod is provided at the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder; a clamping block is provided on the side of the flip frame corresponding to the clamping cylinder, and a clamping groove for inserting the clamping rod is provided on the clamping block;

[0031] When the flip driving component drives the flip frame to flip to the bottom of the visual inspection equipment, the lifting cylinder drives the flip support to drive the flip frame to move downward until the support plate abuts against the top end of the corresponding support rod; the clamping cylinder drives the clamping rod to insert into the clamping groove of the corresponding clamping block.

[0032] By adopting the above technical scheme, temporary support limitation of the flip frame is achieved through the cooperation between the support plate and the support rod, and between the clamping rod and the clamping groove. On the one hand, the cantilevered end of the flip frame is limited from deflecting downward, so that the flip frame and the liquid cooling plate on the flip frame can better maintain a stable state; on the other hand, when a subsequent lifting cylinder fails to operate, the flip frame is limited from falling downward, resulting in damage to the flip frame and the conveyor belt.

[0033] Preferably, a plurality of supporting pads are further provided on the backlight bracket, and the supporting pads are used to support the flip frame.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, after the flip frame is flipped over to the top of the backlight bracket, a number of support pads can be used to auxiliary support the flip frame, thereby facilitating the flip frame and the flip frame and the liquid cooling plate on the flip frame to maintain a stable state more stably.

[0035] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0036] 1. After the brazing rack with the liquid cooling plate to be inspected is conveyed to the limit mechanism through the conveyor belt, the brazing rack is temporarily limited and fixed by the upper limit part of the limit mechanism, and then the flipping mechanism grabs the liquid cooling plate on the brazing rack through the grabbing part and flips the liquid cooling plate to the bottom of the visual inspection equipment. The flipping process of the liquid cooling plate does not require manual intervention, which improves the flipping efficiency of the liquid cooling plate and reduces the flipping difficulty of the liquid cooling plate.

[0037] 2. Through the setting of the lifting drive component, the flip drive component subsequently drives the flip frame to flip to above the brazing frame of the limit mechanism, and then drives the flip frame downward by the lifting drive component until the sponge suction cup on the flip frame abuts against the liquid cooling plate of the brazing frame, so that several sponge suction cups of the flip frame are in contact with the sponge suction cup at the same time, which is convenient for the uniform force on the liquid cooling plate and is also beneficial for the sponge suction cup on the flip frame to more firmly hold and fix the liquid cooling plate.

[0038] 3. Through the setting of the clamping mechanism, when the lifting drive component drives the flip frame located on the brazing frame to move downward and moves the sponge suction cup on the flip frame downward to grab the liquid cooling plate on the brazing frame, the clamping block is moved downward to clamp the cantilevered end of the flip frame through the clamping block, which is beneficial to limit the cantilevered end of the flip frame from being lifted up due to the unevenness of the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate, affecting the contact between the sponge suction cup of the flip frame close to the cantilevered end and the liquid cooling plate, which is beneficial to the sponge suction cup on the flip frame to fit more closely to the liquid cooling plate.

[0050] The following is combined with Figure 1-9 This application is described in further detail.

[0051] The present application embodiment discloses a battery cooler liquid cooling plate flipping device, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , including a conveyor belt 2, a limiting mechanism 3 and a flipping mechanism 4; the conveyor belt 2 is used to convey the brazing rack 13; the limiting mechanism 3 and the flipping mechanism 4 are distributed on the conveyor belt 2 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, and the limiting mechanism 3 has a limiting part for limiting and fixing the brazing rack 13; the flipping mechanism 4 is connected with the visual inspection equipment used in conjunction with the flipping equipment of the battery cooler liquid cooling plate 1, and the flipping mechanism 4 has a grabbing part for grabbing the liquid cooling plate 1, and the flipping mechanism 4 is used to grab the liquid cooling plate 1 on the brazing rack 13 of the limiting mechanism 3 and flip the liquid cooling plate 1 until the substrate 11 of the liquid cooling plate 1 is located at the bottom of the visual inspection equipment.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 2 is a roller conveyor belt. The limiting part includes two vertically arranged limiting blocks 31; the two limiting blocks 31 are blocked at the output end of the limiting mechanism 3 and the two limiting blocks 31 are both arranged in the gap between two adjacent rollers of the conveyor belt 2; the limiting mechanism 3 includes a fixed rod supported at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2, and the fixed rod is equipped with two vertically arranged limiting cylinders 32 corresponding to the two limiting blocks 31, and the piston rods of the two limiting cylinders 32 are respectively connected to the bottom of the two limiting blocks 31, so that the two limiting blocks 31 can be moved up and down.

[0053] The limiting mechanism 3 also includes a positioning part and a sliding drive member 35. The positioning part is located on one side of the conveyor belt 2. The positioning part includes a connecting rod 34 supported at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2. The connecting rod 34 has a number of positioning blocks 33 evenly distributed along its length direction. The positioning blocks 33 are all inserted into the gap between two adjacent rollers of the conveyor belt 2; the sliding drive member 35 includes a rodless cylinder supported at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2. The length direction of the rodless cylinder is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 2, and the slide of the rodless cylinder is connected to the connecting rod 34.

[0054] Through the above arrangement, the conveyor belt 2 transfers the brazing rack 13 on which the liquid cooling plate 1 to be inspected is placed to the limiting mechanism 3 and abuts against two limiting blocks 31, and the two limiting blocks 31 are used to temporarily limit the brazing rack 13; then, the sliding drive member 35 of the positioning portion drives a plurality of positioning blocks 33 to push the brazing rack 13 toward the side of the conveyor belt 2 until the brazing rack 13 abuts against the side of the conveyor belt 2, thereby positioning the brazing rack 13, so that the subsequent turning mechanism 4 can more accurately grasp the liquid cooling plate 1 on the brazing rack 13 through the grasping portion.

[0055] When the flipping mechanism 4 grabs the liquid cooling plate 1 from the brazing rack 13 through the grabbing part, the sliding drive 35 drives the positioning block 33 to move in the direction away from the brazing rack 13; at the same time, the limiting cylinder 32 drives the corresponding limiting block 31 to move downward, so that the output end of the limiting mechanism 3 is opened, thereby facilitating the conveyor belt 2 to transport the empty brazing rack 13 backward.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The flip mechanism 4 includes a flip frame 41, a flip driving member 45 and two flip supports 44; the two flip supports 44 are respectively supported on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 2; the flip end of the flip frame 41 is connected to a flip shaft 43, and both ends of the flip shaft 43 are rotatably connected to the two flip supports 44 through bearings. The flip driving member 45 includes a reduction motor, which is installed on a flip support 44 and the output end of the reduction motor is coaxially connected to the flip shaft 43, so that the flip frame 41 is driven by the reduction motor to flip around the flip shaft 43 axially.

[0057] The gripping part includes a sponge suction cup 42 mounted on the flip frame 41. The sponge suction cup 42 is provided, on the one hand, to facilitate the flip mechanism 4 to better grip the liquid cooling plate 1 with an uneven surface through the good adaptability of the sponge suction cup 42; on the other hand, it is helpful to reduce the damage to the liquid cooling plate 1 caused by the flip mechanism 4 when gripping the liquid cooling plate 1 through the gripping part.

[0058] The flipping mechanism 4 also includes two lifting drive members 46, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 2 and correspond to the two flipping supports 44 one by one. The lifting drive member 46 includes a lifting support 461, and the flipping supports 44 are vertically slidably connected to the corresponding lifting support 461 through a slider rail structure; a lifting cylinder 462 is vertically installed on the lifting support 461, and the piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 462 is connected to the corresponding flipping support 44, so that the lifting drive member 46 is driven and connected to the corresponding flipping support 44. The flip frame 41 can be driven to slide vertically by driving the piston rod of the two lifting cylinders 462 to extend and retract. The two ends of the fixed rod are respectively connected to the two lifting supports 461, which is conducive to improving the connection integrity of the two lifting drive members 46.

[0059] Through the above arrangement, when the flip mechanism 4 grabs the liquid cooling plate 1 of the brazing frame 13 located on the limiting mechanism 3 through the grabbing part, the flip driving member 45 first drives the flip frame 41 to flip to the top of the brazing frame 13 of the positioning part and makes the flip frame 41 parallel to the liquid cooling plate 1 on the brazing frame 13, and then drives the flip frame 41 to move downward through the lifting driving member 46 until the plurality of sponge suction cups 42 on the flip frame 41 are tightly pressed against the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate 1, so that the liquid cooling plate 1 is adsorbed and fixed by the sponge suction cups 42, so that the sponge suction cups 42 on the flip frame 41 can be simultaneously pressed against the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate 1, which is conducive to achieving uniform force on the liquid cooling plate 1 and facilitates the plurality of sponge suction cups 42 on the flip frame 41 to more firmly adsorb and fix the liquid cooling plate 1.

[0060] Reference Figures 8 to 9 The conveyor belt 2 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 6, which includes a clamping bracket 60 mounted above the conveyor belt 2; two clamping blocks 61 are provided on the clamping bracket 60; two clamping cylinders 62 are supported on the clamping bracket 60 corresponding to the two clamping blocks 61; the two clamping cylinders 62 are vertically arranged downward and the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 62 are respectively connected to the corresponding clamping blocks 61 to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 61 to move up and down. When the flip driving member 45 drives the flip frame 41 to flip to the top of the brazing frame 13 of the limiting mechanism 3, the two clamping blocks 61 are located above the cantilevered end of the flip frame 41.

[0061] When the lifting drive 46 drives the flip frame 41 located above the limit mechanism 3 to move downward until the sponge suction cup 42 on the flip frame 41 abuts against the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate 1 on the brazing frame 13, the two clamping cylinders 62 drive the corresponding clamping blocks 61 to move downward to clamp the cantilevered end of the flip frame 41, which is beneficial for the sponge suction cup 42 on the flip frame 41 to abut against the liquid cooling plate 1 more closely, thereby facilitating the sponge suction cup 42 to more firmly hold and fix the liquid cooling plate 1.

[0062] Reference Figures 3 to 5 A backlight mechanism is also provided on the conveyor belt 2. The backlight mechanism is located below the visual inspection device. The backlight mechanism includes a backlight bracket 5 supported above the conveyor belt 2. A plurality of backlight panels 51 are installed on the backlight bracket 5. When the flip drive 45 drives the flip frame 41 to flip the liquid cooling plate 1 to the bottom of the visual inspection device, the backlight bracket 5 is located at the bottom of the flip frame 41, so that the liquid cooling plate 1 on the flip frame 41 can be supplemented with light through the plurality of backlight panels 51 on the backlight bracket 5, so that the visual inspection device can better perform relevant inspections on the liquid cooling plate 1 on the flip frame 41. An air gun is also provided on one side of the backlight bracket 5, so that dust and impurities on the surface of the backlight panel 51 can be cleaned by flushing with the air gun.

[0063] Reference Figures 5 to 7 , the top of the lifting support 461 is vertically supported with a support rod 47; the end of the flip shaft 43 is supported with a support plate 48 corresponding to the support rod 47; when the flip frame 41 is flipped to the bottom of the visual inspection device, the support plate 48 is arranged opposite to the corresponding support rod 47. A number of support pads 54 for supporting the flip frame 41 are evenly installed on the backlight bracket 5. The backlight bracket 5 is also supported with two clamping cylinders 52; the two clamping cylinders 52 are arranged opposite to each other; the piston rod ends of the two clamping cylinders 52 are connected with a clamping rod 53; the flip frame 41 is provided with two clamping blocks 55 corresponding to the two clamping cylinders 52; the two clamping blocks 55 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the flip frame 41, and the clamping blocks 55 are provided with clamping grooves 551 for inserting the clamping rods 53. When the flip frame 41 flips to the bottom of the visual inspection equipment and the support plate 48 at the end of the flip axis 43 abuts against the top of the corresponding support rod 47, the bottom side of the flip frame 41 abuts against a number of support pads 54 on the backlight bracket 5, and the clamping rod 53 on the clamping cylinder 52 is arranged opposite to the clamping groove 551 of the corresponding clamping block 55.

[0064] Through the above arrangement, after the subsequent flip driving member 45 drives the flip frame 41 to flip to the bottom of the visual inspection device, the lifting cylinder 462 drives the flip frame 41 to move downward until the support plate 48 on the flip shaft 43 abuts against the top of the corresponding support rod 47, and then the clamping cylinder 52 drives the clamping rod 53 to be inserted into the clamping groove 551 of the corresponding clamping block 55. The support limit of the flip frame 41 is realized. On the one hand, the flip frame 41 is restricted from bending downward, so that the flip frame 41 and the liquid cooling plate 1 can be more stably located under the visual inspection device. On the other hand, when the subsequent lifting cylinder 462 fails to stop, the flip frame 41 can be restricted from moving downward and colliding with the conveyor belt 2, resulting in damage to the conveyor belt 2 and the flip frame 41.

[0065] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0066] S1: Limiting and fixing the liquid cooling plate 1: The brazing rack 13 with the liquid cooling plate 1 to be inspected is conveyed by the conveyor belt 2 until the brazing rack 13 abuts against two limiting blocks 31, and then the sliding drive member 35 drives a plurality of positioning blocks 33 to push the brazing rack 13 until the brazing rack 13 abuts against one side of the conveyor belt 2, thereby achieving limiting and fixing of the liquid cooling plate 1.

[0067] S2: The flip frame 41 is in place: the flip driving member 45 drives the flip frame 41 to flip to above the brazing frame 13 of the limiting mechanism 3, and the two lifting driving members 46 drive the flip frame 41 to move downward until the sponge suction cup 42 on the flip frame 41 abuts against the upper surface of the liquid cooling plate 1; at the same time, the clamping cylinder 62 drives the clamping block 61 to move downward to clamp the cantilevered end of the flip frame 41.

[0068] S3: Grasping the liquid cooling plate 1: The liquid cooling plate 1 is adsorbed and fixed by turning over the sponge suction cup 42 on the frame 41 .

[0069] S4: The liquid cooling plate 1 flips: the clamping cylinder 62 drives the corresponding clamping block 61 to move upward; the lifting drive 46 drives the flipping frame 41 to move upward, and at the same time, the flipping drive 45 drives the flipping frame 41 to flip the liquid cooling plate 1 until the substrate 11 of the liquid cooling plate 1 is located below the visual inspection equipment.

[0070] S5: Temporary limit of the flip frame 41: The lifting drive member 46 drives the flip frame 41 to move downward until the support plate 48 of the flip shaft 43 abuts against the top of the corresponding support rod 47, and then the clamping cylinder 52 drives the clamping rod 53 to insert into the clamping groove 551 of the corresponding clamping block 55.

[0071] S6: Conveying the brazing rack 13: The sliding drive 35 drives the positioning block 33 away from the brazing rack 13, and at the same time, the limiting cylinder 32 drives the corresponding limiting block 31 to move downward, so that the discharging end of the limiting mechanism 3 is opened, so as to convey the brazing rack 13 in an empty state through the conveyor belt 2.

[0072] During the flipping operation of the liquid cooling plate 1 of the present application, no manual intervention is required, which reduces the difficulty of the flipping operation of the liquid cooling plate 1 and improves the overall work efficiency.

[0073] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
