[0045] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0046] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0049] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of the cap-opening device 100 in some embodiments of this application. The sealing relay 6 includes a cap 61. The cap-opening device 100 includes a housing 1 with a receiving cavity Q1, a support, a thinning member 3, and a cutting member 4. The support member 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity Q1 and is configured to be rotatably connected to the housing 1 about a first axis. The support member 2 is used to install the sealing relay 6. The thinning member 3 is movably connected to the housing 1 along a first direction F1 and is used to abut against the cap 61. The cutting member 4 is movably connected to the housing 1 along a second direction F2 and is used to cut the thinned cap 61. Both the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are perpendicular to the extension direction F3 of the first axis. The thinning member 3 and the cutting member 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support member 2.

[0050] Thus, the cap-opening device 100 includes a housing 1, a support member 2, a thinning member 3, and a cutting member 4. When it is necessary to open the cap of the sealing relay 6, the sealing relay 6 is placed on the support member 2. The thinning member 3 moves towards the sealing relay 6 along the first direction F1 and abuts against the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 to thin the cap 61. Then, the cutting member 4 moves towards the sealing relay 6 along the second direction F2 and cuts the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6, making it easier for subsequent operators to inspect the components inside the cap 61 and the dryness inside the cap 61. Because the cap is thinned before cutting, the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 is easier to cut open, reducing the risk of debris generation during the cutting process and thus improving the reliability of opening the cap of the sealing relay 6.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and in conjunction with reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 It shows Figure 1The schematic diagram of the moving component 5 in the cap opening device 100 is shown. The moving component 5 includes a first part B1, a second part B2, and a reversing component. The first part B1 is movably connected to the housing 1 along the extension direction F3 of the first axis. The second part B2 is movably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction F1. The first part B1 and the second part B2 are engaged. The thinning member 3 is fixedly connected to the second part B2. The first part B1 and the second part B2 are connected by the reversing component. The reversing component is configured to convert the movement of the first part B1 in the extension direction F1 of the first axis into the movement of the second part B2 toward the sealing relay 6 along the first direction.

[0052] The cap-opening device 100 includes a moving component 5. The aforementioned thinning component 3 and cutting component 4 can both be mounted on the moving component 5. Thus, when the cap-opening device 100 needs to open the sealing relay 6, it can drive the moving component 5 to move, thereby driving the thinning component 3 and cutting component 4 to the working position. Referring to the figure, there are two moving components 5 in this application, and the two moving components 5 are configured identically. This not only saves costs, but also allows the thinning component 3 or the cutting component 4 to be driven separately as needed.

[0053] The moving component 5 includes a first part B1 and a second part B2. By driving the first part B1, the first part B1 moves along the first direction F1. With the help of the reversing component, after receiving the power given by the first part B1, it can be converted to the second part B2 moving along the second direction F2. Since the thinning member 3 is connected to the second part B2, the thinning member 3 can move along the second direction F2 together with the second part B2, so as to move closer to or further away from the sealing relay 6.

[0054] It is understood that the cap 61 includes a cap brim and a cap core. Referring to the figure, along the extension direction F3 of the first axis, the cap brim has a first end D1 surface and a second end D2 surface, the first end D1 surface is welded to the base 62, and the second end D2 surface is connected to the cap core.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cap-opening device 100 also includes a first limiting member X1 and a mating member P. The first limiting member X1 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the mating member P is fixedly connected to the second part B2. The first limiting member X1 is located on the path of movement along the first direction F1 toward the central axis of the bearing member 2.

[0056] During the uncapping process of the sealing relay 6, the thinning component 3 moves towards the sealing relay 6 along the second direction F2. When the thinning component 3 moves towards the sealing relay 6 along the second direction F2, once the second end D2 surface of the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the cap core are both in contact, the limiting component will abut against the mating component P, preventing the limiting component from moving further towards the sealing relay 6. This reduces the risk of excessive movement of the thinning component 3, which could damage the sealing relay 6. The design of the limiting component and the mating component P improves the stability and controllability of the thinning component 3 during the uncapping process. Operators do not need to worry excessively about the movement range of the thinning component 3, thereby reducing the possibility of operational errors and further improving the safety and reliability of the entire uncapping process.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The reversing assembly includes a first sub-part Z1, and the first sub-part Z1 and the second part B2 are connected to each other in the extension direction F3 of the first axis. The first sub-part Z1 has a first contact surface M1. The reversing assembly also includes a second sub-part Z2, and the second sub-part Z2 has a second contact surface M2. The first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 abut against each other. Along the direction from the first sub-part Z1 to the second part B2, both the first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 gradually tilt away from the bearing member 2. The first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 are parallel.

[0058] The first sub-part Z1 and the second sub-part Z2 are designed with complementary conical shapes. The first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 can form a large area of ​​planar contact. This design can significantly increase the effective contact area, reduce wear between the first sub-part Z1 and the second sub-part Z2, and extend the service life, thus extending the service life of the cap-opening device 100.

[0059] Furthermore, the first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 convert the force acting in the first direction F1 into pressure in the second direction F2. This not only converts the larger driving force in the first direction F1 into a smaller force in the second direction F2, but also converts the smaller driving force in the first direction F1 into a larger force in the second direction F2. For example, when a tightening force of 10N is applied in the first direction F1, at a tilt angle of 5°, the second direction F2 can generate a component force of approximately 1.75 times that force, where the tilt angle is the angle between the first direction F1 and the normal direction of the tilted surface.

[0060] In this application, since the sealing relay 6 is thinned or cut, if excessive pressure in the second direction F2 is applied directly, the sealing relay 6 may deform, crack, or fail due to fatigue. Therefore, the specific tilt angle can be set to close to 90° to decompose the larger driving force of the first direction F1 into a smaller component of the second direction F2, thereby reducing the risk of the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 being damaged during the thinning process. This further reduces the risk of debris directly entering the cap 61 during the thinning process and contaminating the various components in the cap 61, thus improving the reliability of the cap opening device 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cap-opening device 100 also includes an elastic element T, which is disposed between the housing 1 and the second part B2.

[0062] The elastic element T plays a crucial buffering role during the operation of the cap-opening device 100. When the thinning part 3 or the cutting part 4 comes into contact with the cap edge of the sealing relay 6, the elastic element T can absorb and disperse the impact force, effectively protecting the sealing relay 6 and the internal structure of the cap 61 from damage, and reducing the risk of the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 being damaged during the thinning process. The elastic element T can specifically be a spring.

[0063] Furthermore, when the driving member Q drives the first part B1 to move towards the second part B2, the elastic member T compresses and stores energy; when the driving member Q moves in the opposite direction, the elastic member T releases energy and pushes the second part B2 to reset. When the first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 convert the force in the first direction F1 into a force in the second direction F2, the elastic member T compensates for the micro-displacement of the first contact surface M1 and the second contact surface M2 by stretching and contracting, so that the two contact surfaces fit tightly together, improving the force transmission efficiency and further improving the reliability of the cap-opening device 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cap-opening device 100 also includes a drive component Q, a connector L, and a guide component DX.

[0065] The connector L has a first end D1 and a second end D2 that are oppositely arranged along the extension direction F3 of the first axis. The first end D1 is threadedly connected to the drive member Q, and the second end D2 is fixedly connected to the first part B1. The guide member DX abuts against the opposite two end faces of the connector L along the first direction F1, and is used to guide the connector L to move along the extension direction F3 of the first axis.

[0066] The driving component Q converts rotational force into linear motion in the first direction F1 of the connecting component L via a threaded connection. The guide component DX restricts the degrees of freedom of the connecting component L, allowing it to move only in the first direction F1. This enables the first part B1, connected to the connecting component L, to move in the first direction F1, thereby driving the second part B2 to perform precision actions. The driving component Q can be a motor or a cylinder. Specifically, the driving component Q is equipped with a scale, which allows the thickness of the thinned cap to be calculated during the thinning process of the thinning component 3 or the cutting process of the cutting component 4.

[0067] Thus, the threaded connection between the drive component Q and the connector L enables precise displacement, facilitating effective control of the displacement of the thinning component 3 and the cutting component 4. The guide component DX ensures that the connector L can only move along the first direction F1, improving the overall operational stability of the cap-opening device 100.

[0068] Furthermore, it can be referred to Figure 2 In this application, the first part B1 is connected to the connector L, and the two sides of the connector L in the second direction F2 abut against the inner wall of the guide DX. The first part B1 is relatively small in size, and a spring is fitted on its outer surface. The spring can automatically adjust its deformation according to the gap between the connector L and the guide DX, thereby ensuring that the connector L maintains stable contact with the inner wall of the guide DX during movement, effectively reducing friction and wear between the connector L and the guide DX caused by gap changes. Furthermore, the spring can absorb and disperse the impacts and vibrations generated during operation. This buffering effect protects the connector L and the guide DX, extending the service life of the device.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cap opening device 100 also includes an air blowing element 7, which is disposed in the housing 1 and is used to blow air toward the cap 61.

[0070] During the thinning process of the thinning component 3 on the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6, debris, dust, or other impurities are generated. The air blowing component 7 blows air onto the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6, blowing the debris and impurities to the bottom of the housing 1, maintaining the cleanliness of the inside and surrounding environment of the sealing relay 6 after the cap is opened, and reducing the impact of impurities on the performance of the sealing relay 6. Specifically, in this application, the air blowing component 7 is turned on when the thinning component 3 is running. The sealing relay 6 is not opened during the entire thinning process, so the air blowing component 7 will not blow debris into the sealing relay 6. Afterwards, when the cutting component 4 is opened, the air blowing component 7 is not turned on.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1The housing also has a storage cavity. The accommodating cavity Q1 is used to place the sealing relay, the carrier 2 and other operating components; while the storage cavity Q2 is used to store the blown debris. The cap opening device 100 also includes a negative pressure component 8, which is located at the opening where the accommodating cavity Q1 and the storage cavity Q2 communicate.

[0072] The accommodating cavity Q1 is specifically designed to house the sealing relay 6, providing it with a fixed and dedicated space. The storage cavity Q2 is used to store debris generated during the air blowing process, reducing the risk of these debris contaminating the environment or affecting other parts of the equipment. The negative pressure component 8 creates a partial vacuum at the connection between the accommodating cavity Q1 and the storage cavity Q2, rapidly drawing debris blown to the bottom of the accommodating cavity Q1 into the storage cavity Q2. The negative pressure component 8 can be a vacuum pump or compressor, further reducing the risk of debris entering the sealing relay 6 when the sealing relay 6 is opened by the cutting component 4. Furthermore, the negative pressure component 8 forms a closed-loop system with the air blowing component 7, combining positive pressure blowing and negative pressure adsorption. The negative pressure component 8 and the air blowing component 7 work synergistically; the air blowing component 7 positively blows across the surface of the cap 61, while the negative pressure component 8 collects debris under negative pressure, achieving efficient cleaning.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and in conjunction with reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure in which the combination of the carrier 2 and the sealed relay 6 is mounted on the calibration component 9. Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 A structural diagram showing the second placement component W2 and the rotating component XZ assembled together. Figure 5 It shows Figure 1The diagram shows the structure of the carrier 2 and the second placement component W2 assembled together. The cap-opening device 100 also includes a calibration component 9, a first placement component W1, and a second placement component W2. The calibration component 9 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and includes a calibration surface M1 extending in a direction F3 perpendicular to the first axis. The calibration component 9 is used to calibrate the pre-assembled combination of the sealed relay 6 and the carrier 2. The first placement component W1 is located in the accommodating cavity Q1 and includes a first placement surface WM1 extending in a direction F3 perpendicular to the first axis. The first placement surface WM1 is used to place the pre-assembled combination of the sealed relay 6 and the carrier 2. The second placement component W2 is located in the accommodating cavity Q1 and includes a second placement surface WM2 extending in a direction F3 perpendicular to the first axis. The second placement surface WM2 is used to place the combination of the sealed relay 6 and the carrier 2 after calibration by the calibration component 9. In this context, along the extension direction F3 of the first axis, the carrier 2 and the sealing relay 6 can move relative to each other; the distance between the calibration surface M1 of the carrier 2 and the first placement surface WM1 along the extension direction F3 of the first axis is the first dimension; the side of the thinning member 3 facing away from the carrier 2 along the extension direction F3 of the first axis and the second placement surface WM2 along the first axis.

[0074] Understandably, during the capping process, the sealing relay 6 is first installed on the carrier 2, and then the assembly of the sealing relay 6 and the carrier 2 is placed on the first placement surface WM1 for thinning and cutting operations. However, when placing the assembly, the cutting part 4 and the thinning part 3 are difficult to directly contact the second end D2 surface of the cap 61 and the outer peripheral surface of the cap core. Repeated adjustments are required to align the cutting part 4 or the thinning part 3 with the second end D2 surface of the cap 61 and the outer peripheral surface of the cap core, which can easily damage the sealing relay 6.

[0075] In this application, by proposing a calibration component 9, the relative positions of the carrier 2 and the sealing relay 6 are calibrated before the assembly is placed on the second placement surface WM2. This reduces the risk of damaging the sealing relay 6 and improves the efficiency of opening the cap. Specifically, in this application, the calibration component 9 is a flat plate with a U-shaped groove C, allowing the edge of the sealing relay 6 to be secured to the calibration surface M1 of the calibration component 9.

[0076] In this application, the first placement component W1 is used to place the uncalibrated assembly as an initial positioning station. The second placement component W2 is used to place the calibrated assembly as a precision machining station. The calibration surface M1 of the calibration component 9 is perpendicular to the first axis and is used to calibrate the position of the pre-assembled sealing relay 6 and carrier component 2 assembly in the extension direction F3 of the first axis. It can repeatedly adjust the relative position between the sealing relay 6 and the carrier component 2 so that the second end D2 surface of the sealing relay 6 can abut against the calibration surface M1. This allows the sealing relay 6 to be directly thinned and cut when the assembly is placed on the second placement component W2, further improving the reliability of the cap-opening device 100.

[0077] Furthermore, the phased design of the calibration component 9, the first placement surface WM1, and the second placement surface WM2 allows the current sealing relay 6 to perform thinning or cutting operations while the simulation cutting component 4 and the thinning component 3 are rehearsing the next workpiece path, further improving the opening efficiency of the cap opening device 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and in conjunction with reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the cover GZ, the rotating shaft ZZ, and the protective component BH assembled together. The sealing relay 6 also includes a pin YJ and a base 62. The pin YJ is mounted on the base 62, and the base 62 is connected to the cap 61. The cap-opening device 100 also includes a cover GZ, a protective component BH, and a rotating shaft ZU. The cover GZ is detachably connected to the housing 1. The protective component BH has multiple insertion holes for fitting the pin YJ. The rotating shaft ZU extends along its rotation axis, with one end rotatably connected to the cover GZ and the other end fixedly connected to the protective component BH.

[0079] During the cutting of part 4 and the thinning of part 3, the sealing relay 6 needs to rotate around the first axis. The design of the cover GZ effectively reduces the risk that the base 62 and the cap 61 will separate after the cap is opened, causing the base 62 to fly out of the housing 1 due to inertial force, thus greatly improving the safety of the cap opening operation. Furthermore, the protective component BH is sleeved on the pin YJ, which not only allows the pin YJ to rotate freely when the sealing relay 6 rotates during the thinning and cutting process, but also reduces the damage to the pin YJ during assembly, adjustment, or transportation.

[0080] Furthermore, by detachably connecting the cover GZ to the housing 1, when the cap-opening device 100 is running, the cover GZ is connected to the housing 1, making the accommodating cavity Q1 inside the housing 1 a sealed space. This prevents the internal components of the housing 1 from being contaminated by external sources, further maintaining the cleanliness and performance stability of the sealing relay 6. The detachable connection design also allows for easy installation or removal of the cover GZ when needed, facilitating maintenance and repair. The detachable connection can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connections or threaded connections.

[0081] Furthermore, in this application, we continue to refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The sealing relay 6 can be supported by a mounting groove provided on the carrier 2, into which the cap 61 of the sealing relay 6 is installed. This application also includes a rotating component XZ, which is detachably connected to the carrier 2. The rotating component XZ can be configured as a motor rotor or a gear shaft, etc.
