[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 8The wind knife 42 blowing device shown in the figure comprises: a workbench 1, a fixed support 2, a movable support frame 3 and a blowing mechanism 4, wherein the fixed support 2 is arranged on the workbench 1, and comprises two fixed frames 21, a crossbeam 22 connecting the two fixed frames 21, and a first support frame 23 arranged on the crossbeam 22; the movable support frame 3 is installed on one side of the first support frame 23; the blowing mechanism 4 comprises a mobile frame 41 located below the crossbeam 22, and two wind knives 42 arranged on the mobile frame 41; Among them, the first support frame 23 and the movable support frame 3 both include two vertical beams 5 and at least two positioning rods 6 connecting the two vertical beams 5, and a placement space is formed between the positioning rods 6 on the first support frame 23 and the positioning rods 6 on the movable support frame 3; two wind knives 42 are relatively arranged on both sides of the placement space, and the movable frame 41 drives the two wind knives 42 to move back and forth to blow the two side facades of the product in the placement space.

[0022] During the implementation of the present invention, multiple products are placed side by side in the placement space between the movable support frame 3 and the first support frame 23, and the vertical state of the products is maintained. The movable frame 41 drives the two wind knives 42 to move. As the wind knives 42 continue to move, the air curtain formed by the air outlets of the wind knives 42 will clean the water stains on the side facades of the products. The wind knives 42 move a single distance to form a purge, and reciprocating movement forms two-side purge tasks from different directions. In the present invention, batch purge of products can be achieved through the setting of the first support frame 23 and the movable support frame 3, and automatic purge can be achieved through the setting of the purge mechanism 4, which significantly improves the purge efficiency and reduces the number of operators.

[0023] In the present invention, the positioning rods 6 on the first support frame 23 and the positioning rods 6 on the movable support frame 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, forming a multi-point symmetrical support, ensuring that the lead frame remains stable during the placement and purging process.

[0024] In the preferred embodiment, the movable support frame 3 is hinged to the first support frame 23 by a hinge. When the lead frame needs to be placed or removed, the movable support frame 3 is flipped outward to increase the entrance spacing of the placement space, and a buckle structure is provided at one end of the movable support frame 3 away from the hinge position to ensure that the movable support frame 3 remains stable during operation and will not loosen due to external force or vibration, which ensures the stability of the lead frame during the purging process and improves the purging effect.

[0025] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a through hole 5a is provided on the vertical beam 5 for the positioning rod 6 to pass through; the through hole 5a is long in the vertical direction, and locking nuts 7 are provided at both ends of the positioning rod 6. The height position of the positioning rod 6 can be adjusted to adapt to products of different specifications.

[0026] In the present invention, a guide groove 22a is provided on the upper surface of the crossbeam 22. The liquid flowing down from the product converges into the guide groove 22a and finally enters the wastewater collection bucket. A drain valve is provided at the liquid outlet of the guide groove 22a to ensure normal purging when cleaning the wastewater collection bucket.

[0027] Since the residual liquid on the product is unevenly distributed, a large local flow rate may occur during the drainage process through the guide groove 22a, affecting the flow rate of the liquid. Therefore, preferably, a plurality of drainage holes 22b are evenly distributed on both sides of the guide groove 22a to divert the liquid in the guide groove 22a and reduce the flow pressure. In addition, the guide groove 22a is convex upward along the central axis position in the length direction to form a limiting surface 22c for supporting the product, and the two side edges of the limiting surface 22c form downwardly inclined drainage slopes 22d, which can accelerate the flow rate of the liquid in the guide groove 22a and avoid overflow.

[0028] In the present invention, when the wind knife 42 is moving and blowing the residual liquid on the finished product, when the liquid flow rate entering the guide groove 22a is greater than the outflow flow rate, the liquid in the guide groove 22a accumulates at the drainage hole 22b, and the wind knife 42 continues to move, and liquid overflow will occur. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, the position of the guide groove 22a corresponding to the drainage hole 22b is provided with a liquid level sensor 8, and the liquid level sensor 8 is used to monitor the liquid level height of the liquid in the guide groove 22a in real time. According to the feedback signal of the liquid level sensor 8, when the liquid level reaches the preset warning value, the PLC system automatically adjusts the moving speed of the wind knife 42, so that the total moving distance of the wind knife 42 is divided into a fast moving section and a slow moving section along the moving direction, ensuring that the flow of the liquid in the guide groove 22a is always in a balanced state.

[0029] In the early stage of the movement of the wind knife 42, there are fewer water stains on the surface of the lead frame and the liquid will not accumulate in large quantities. At this time, rapid movement can quickly remove most of the water stains; in the later stage of the movement of the wind knife 42, the purged liquid has fallen into the guide groove 22a, and a part of it will flow out from the corresponding drainage hole 22b, while the other part continues to flow along the guide groove 22a, causing the liquid in the guide groove 22a to gradually increase. At this time, slowing down the purging speed can give the liquid sufficient time to flow out and avoid accumulation of liquid in the guide groove 22a.

[0030] Dividing the total moving distance of the air knife 42 into a fast moving section and a slow moving section can significantly improve the purging efficiency, prevent liquid accumulation, improve the purging effect, and adapt to different production environments and product requirements. This segmented movement method not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures the cleanliness of the lead frame and product quality.

[0031] In the present invention, the moving frame 41 includes a rodless cylinder 411 and a mounting plate 412 arranged on the rodless cylinder 411; two wind knives 42 are installed on the mounting plate 412, and an adjustment plate 413 is arranged on the mounting plate 412. The wind knives 42 are fixed on the adjustment plate 413, and the adjustment plate 413 includes a positioning hole 413a and an arc hole 413b arranged in a circumferential direction around the positioning hole 413a. The adjustment plate 413 rotates around the positioning hole 413a to adjust the angle between the air outlet surface and the blowing surface of the wind knife 42. Through the cooperation of the arc hole 413b and the positioning hole 413a, the angle of the wind knife 42 can be easily adjusted to ensure that the airflow of the wind knife 42 can be accurately aligned with the surface of the lead frame, thereby improving the blowing effect.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a transparent protective cover is provided on the outer side of the fixing bracket 2. The transparent protective cover can effectively prevent the splashing of liquid during the purging process, protect the operator from potential liquid hazards, and also prevent the liquid from polluting the surrounding environment.

[0033] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
