Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automotive part manufacturing, and particularly to a drying device for automotive switches. Background Art

[0002] Automotive switch parts are important accessories inside automobiles and are used in various positions such as air conditioners and car radios. They are usually injection-molded. After injection molding, the automotive switches need to be coated and glued, and further dried before they can be installed.

[0003] Under the existing technology, drying is usually carried out in a drying box. Inside the drying box, the coating and glue on the automotive switches are dried by heating. When drying, only the product needs to be put in, and then wait for drying to be completed and taken out. Although the operation is convenient, since only the heating method is adopted, it takes a long time to heat up to dry thoroughly, which affects the drying efficiency and is also likely to affect the drying effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the problem that when only the heating method is adopted for drying under the existing technology, it takes a long time to heat up to dry thoroughly, which affects the drying efficiency and is also likely to affect the drying effect, the present application provides a drying device for automotive switches, and the specific solution is as follows.

[0005] A drying device for automotive switches, characterized in that: it includes a box body and a drying rack. The drying rack is used to place multiple automotive switches at the same time. Blowing components are arranged on both sides in the length direction of the box body. Heating components are arranged at both ends in the length direction of the box body. An inlet is arranged at one end in the length direction of the box body, and the inlet is used to send in the drying rack; A moving seat is arranged inside the box body. A lead screw driven by a motor is arranged inside the box body corresponding to the moving seat. The moving seat is in threaded connection with the lead screw. The bottom of the moving seat abuts against the box body. When the lead screw rotates, the moving seat moves along the lead screw; A mating rod is arranged on the moving seat. An electromagnet is embedded in the mating rod. A mating groove is arranged on the drying rack corresponding to the mating rod. The mating rod can be embedded in the mating groove, and the mating rod can adsorb the drying rack.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the drying equipment can dry multiple automotive switches simultaneously, improving work efficiency. The blowing components on both sides of the box body and the heating components at both ends cooperate to ensure the uniformity and efficiency of the drying process. The design of the feeding port facilitates the feeding of the drying rack, simplifying the operation process. The cooperation between the moving seat and the lead screw realizes the automatic transportation of the drying rack in the box body, reducing manual intervention. The setting of the mating rod and the electromagnet can not only accurately position the drying rack but also ensure its stable fixation through magnetic adsorption, preventing displacement during the drying process, thereby ensuring the consistency and reliability of the drying effect. The combination of air drying and heating further improves the drying efficiency and effect.

[0007] Optionally, a rotating motor is arranged on the moving seat corresponding to the mating rod, and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the mating rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rotating motor on the moving seat can drive the mating rod to rotate. This design enables the mating rod to adjust the posture of the drying rack through a rotating action after adsorbing the drying rack, so as to ensure that the automotive switches on the drying rack can receive the action of the blowing component and the heating component at a more appropriate angle, improving the drying efficiency and uniformity.

[0009] Optionally, support rods are arranged on both sides of the drying rack, and the support rods are used to place automotive switches.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, support rods are arranged on both sides of the drying rack, and the support rods are used to place automotive switches. This design can effectively increase the load-bearing capacity of the drying rack for automotive switches, ensure the stable placement of automotive switches during the drying process, avoid the problem of uneven drying caused by shaking or tilting, and can also dry the automotive switches on both sides simultaneously, further improving the drying efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, a feeding box is arranged at the feeding port of the box body. The interior of the feeding box is communicated with the box body. A hinged door is arranged on the side wall of the feeding box, and the lead screw extends into the feeding box.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the setting of the feeding box enables the drying rack to enter the interior of the box body more conveniently from the feeding port, improving the operation convenience. At the same time, the drying box adopts a side-opening method, which can isolate part of the heat and reduce the large heat loss caused by too large an opening. The automotive switches can be preheated at the feeding box, reducing the situation of product damage caused by too rapid temperature rise.

[0013] Optionally, a guide rail is arranged on the feeding box. The guide rail is arranged above the lead screw and can abut against the moving seat. A guide groove corresponding to the shape of the drying rack is opened on the guide rail, and the drying rack can abut against the mating rod in the guide groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, when the drying rack moves on the guiding rail sent into the box, it can accurately align with the matching rod along the guiding groove, ensuring the stable connection between the drying rack and the matching rod, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment operation. The guiding rail is arranged above the lead screw and abuts against the moving seat, which can help the moving seat locate the position of the drying rack and ensure that the drying rack is smoothly conveyed into the box for drying operation. The design of the guiding groove further improves the docking accuracy between the drying rack and the matching rod, avoiding the adsorption failure problem caused by position deviation.

[0015] Optionally, a delivery box is also arranged beside the box. A hinged door is arranged on one side of the delivery box, and the other side of the delivery box is communicated with the inside of the box. A delivery slot is opened on the delivery box. The delivery slot is set corresponding to the shapes of the moving seat and the drying rack, and the shape of the delivery slot in the thickness direction of the drying rack is set.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the delivery box can temporarily store the dried drying racks. Since the delivery box is close to the box, the heat in the box can act on the inside of the delivery box, thereby increasing the temperature inside the delivery box. The automotive switch can cool down at a slower temperature in the delivery box, reducing the situation of product damage caused by large temperature changes. At the same time, it can also further stabilize the drying and reduce the situation of incomplete drying.

[0017] Optionally, a feeding slot corresponding to the positions and shapes of the lead screw and the moving seat is opened in the delivery box. The lead screw is embedded in the feeding slot. An installation slot is also arranged in the delivery box. The installation slot is communicated with the feeding slot. A linear mechanism is embedded in the installation slot. A pushing seat is arranged on the linear mechanism. The pushing seat is used to push the drying rack to move along the feeding box.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, setting the feeding slot can make it more convenient to feed the drying rack. After the drying rack is fed, it can abut against the bottom wall of the delivery box. The pushing seat can then move the position of the drying rack, enabling the delivery box to place multiple drying racks at one time and further improving the efficiency when delivering the drying racks.

[0019] Optionally, a plurality of guiding wheels are also arranged on the bottom wall inside the delivery box. The guiding wheels are rotatably connected to the delivery box. The guiding wheels are used to abut against the pushing seat.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the arrangement of the guiding wheels can effectively reduce the frictional resistance when the pushing seat moves inside the delivery box, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the pushing seat.

[0021] Optionally, a matching rod is also arranged on the pushing seat. The matching rod is fixedly connected to the pushing seat. An electromagnet is also arranged inside the matching rod.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the drying equipment can adsorb and stably drive the drying rack to move through the matching rod on the pushing seat in the sending-out box. The setting of the electromagnet makes the adsorption process more reliable, and the fixed connection between the matching rod and the pushing seat ensures the structural stability, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and operation reliability of the drying rack during movement.

[0023] In summary, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. The present application solves the problem that when drying only uses the heating method in the prior art, it takes a long time to dry thoroughly, which affects the drying efficiency and is also likely to affect the drying effect. When the drying rack is sent into the box body, it can rotate to dry the automotive switch on the drying rack at intervals of hot air drying and air drying, improving the drying efficiency and the drying effect.

[0024] 2. The present application also provides a feeding box and a sending-out box. The feeding box can provide a pre-drying area for the drying rack, reducing the situation of excessive temperature change, while the sending-out box can also provide a space for the drying rack to reduce the heat dissipation speed. The feeding box and the sending-out box can effectively utilize the waste heat and reduce the damage of the automotive switch on the drying rack due to too fast temperature change.

[0029] The following further details the present application through specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.

[0030] A drying device for automotive switches, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a box body 1 and a drying rack 2. The drying rack 2 is used to place multiple automotive switches at the same time. Blowing components 11 are arranged on both sides in the length direction of the box body 1, and heating components 12 are arranged at both ends in the length direction of the box body 1. An inlet 13 is arranged at one end in the length direction of the box body 1, and the inlet 13 is used to send in the drying rack 2. Specifically in implementation, support rods 21 are arranged on both sides of the drying rack 2, and the support rods 21 are used to place automotive switches, which can reduce the situation of the drying rack 2 tipping over. The blowing component 11 inside the box body 1 includes a fan, and the fan can directly dry the products. The heating component 12 includes equipment such as heating copper tubes that can directly generate heat, and can effectively heat and dry the automotive switches. However, the temperature generated by the heating component 12 should be lower than 120 degrees. Since the glue on the automotive switches usually does not use high-temperature-resistant glue, controlling the temperature can avoid the melting of the glue on the automotive switches and the like.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a moving seat 141 is arranged inside the box body 1. A lead screw 14 driven by a motor is arranged inside the box body 1 corresponding to the moving seat 141. The moving seat 141 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 14. The bottom of the moving seat 141 abuts against the box body 1. When the lead screw 14 rotates, the moving seat 141 moves along the lead screw 14. A mating rod 142 is arranged on the moving seat 141, and an electromagnet 143 is embedded in the mating rod 142. A mating groove 22 is arranged on the drying rack 2 corresponding to the mating rod 142, and the mating rod 142 can be embedded in the mating groove 22, and the mating rod 142 can adsorb the drying rack 2. Specifically in implementation, a rotating motor 144 is arranged on the moving seat 141 corresponding to the mating rod 142. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor 144 is fixedly connected to the mating rod 142. The drying rack 2 can be adsorbed through the mating rod 142, so that the drying rack 2 moves along with the moving seat 141, and the drying rack 2 is dried according to a set path. When the drying rack 2 reaches the middle of the box body 1, the mating rod 142 can rotate to dry the products on the drying rack 2 in all directions. Through intermittent air drying, the air drying effect can be further improved. Since the temperature inside the box body 1 is below 120 degrees and the demagnetization temperature of the electromagnet 143 is 300 degrees, the electromagnet 143 can effectively drive the moving seat 141 inside the box body 1.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, a feeding box 3 is provided at the feeding port 13 of the box body 1. The inside of the feeding box 3 is communicated with the box body 1. A hinged door 31 is provided on the side wall of the feeding box 3, and the lead screw 14 extends into the feeding box 3. A guide rail 32 is provided on the feeding box 3. The guide rail 32 is arranged above the lead screw 14 and can abut against the moving seat 141. A guide groove 321 corresponding to the shape of the drying rack 2 is opened on the guide rail 32, and the drying rack 2 can abut against the matching rod 142 in the guide groove 321. During specific implementation, when the drying rack 2 is fed, it can move along the guide rail 32, so as to play a guiding role for the drying rack 2, so that the drying rack 2 can be stably fed to correspond to the moving seat 141. The guide rail 32 can also assist in positioning the moving seat 141 and reduce the situation that the moving seat 141 moves excessively. The feeding box 3 is communicated with the inside of the box body 1. Therefore, the heat in the box body 1 can also affect the temperature in the feeding box 3, so that the feeding box 3 is in a state lower than the temperature of the box body 1 but higher than the external temperature. The drying rack 2 can play a preheating role in the feeding box 3, reducing the damage caused by the too large instantaneous temperature change when the automotive switch enters the box body 1, and the preheating in advance can also play a part of the drying effect.

[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, a discharging box 4 is also provided beside the box body 1. A hinged door 31 is provided on one side of the discharging box 4, and the other side of the discharging box 4 is communicated with the inside of the box body 1. A discharging groove 41 is opened on the discharging box 4. The discharging groove 41 is set corresponding to the shapes of the moving seat 141 and the drying rack 2, and the shape of the discharging groove 41 corresponding to the thickness direction of the drying rack 2 is set. During specific implementation, the drying rack 2 can be rotated in the box body 1 to align with the discharging groove 41 and enter the discharging box 4 along the discharging groove 41. Since only a relatively small discharging groove 41 is opened on one side of the discharging box 4, more heating components 12 can be arranged on this side of the box body 1. The discharging box 4 can receive part of the waste heat from the discharging groove 41. Therefore, the temperature in the discharging box 4 is higher than that in the feeding box 3 but lower than the inside of the box body 1. The drying machine entering the discharging box 4 can cool down at a slower speed, reducing the damage to the automotive switch caused by too rapid temperature change. Moreover, the automotive switch located in the discharging box 4 can be further heated and dried, further reducing the situation of incomplete drying.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a feeding groove 42 corresponding to the positions and shapes of the lead screw 14 and the moving seat 141 is formed in the delivery box 4. The lead screw 14 is embedded in the feeding groove 42. An installation groove 43 is also provided in the delivery box 4. The installation groove 43 communicates with the feeding groove 42. A linear mechanism 431 is embedded in the installation groove 43. A pushing seat 432 is arranged on the linear mechanism 431. The pushing seat 432 is used to push the drying rack 2 to move along the feeding box 3. During specific implementation, when the drying rack 2 is fed into the delivery box 4, it can abut against the bottom of the delivery box 4. Subsequently, the pushing seat 432 pushes the drying rack 2. The drying rack 2 can move along the delivery box 4. Multiple drying racks 2 can be fed into the delivery box 4 at the same time. When taking them out, only need to open the delivery box 4 to take out each drying rack 2, which further improves the efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, a plurality of guide wheels 44 are also arranged on the bottom wall in the delivery box 4. The guide wheels 44 are rotatably connected to the delivery box 4. The guide wheels 44 are used to abut against the pushing seat 432. A matching rod 142 is also arranged on the pushing seat 432. The matching rod 142 is fixedly connected to the pushing seat 432. An electromagnet 143 is also arranged in the matching rod 142. During specific implementation, a corresponding matching groove 22 is also formed on the drying rack 2 corresponding to the matching rod 142. The matching groove 22 is formed on the side of the drying rack 2. The matching rod 142 can be embedded in the matching groove 22 to adsorb the drying rack 2. Subsequently, the drying rack 2 can be driven to move more stably, reducing the situation that the automotive switch drops due to the shaking of the drying rack 2, further improving the positioning effect on the drying rack 2. By setting the corresponding guide wheels 44, the friction force for the drying rack 2 can be reduced, reducing the situation that the drying rack 2 topples due to excessive friction during movement in the feeding box 3, and further improving the stability of the drying rack 2 during movement.

[0036] Working principle: The drying racks 2 are fed into the feeding box 3 one by one, and then rotate in the box body 1, and are dried in the way of alternating hot drying and air drying, effectively drying the products on the drying racks 2. Subsequently, the drying racks 2 are sent into the delivery box 4 and wait to be taken out.

[0037] The above is the preferred embodiment of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
