Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of epoxy resin processing, in particular to a bubble eliminating device for epoxy resin processing. Background Art

[0002] As an important thermosetting resin, epoxy resin has been widely used in many fields. In the field of electronics and electrical, it is widely used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, electronic packaging materials, etc., providing key support for the miniaturization and high performance of electronic equipment; in the aerospace field, epoxy resin composite materials have become ideal materials for manufacturing aircraft wings, satellite structural parts and other components due to their high strength and light weight; in the construction industry, epoxy resin floor paint, coatings and other products not only have beautiful decorative effects, but also have excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in industrial plants, commercial buildings and other places.

[0003] During the processing of epoxy resin, the generation of bubbles is inevitable. Bubbles will form stress concentration points inside the epoxy resin. When the product is subjected to external force, these stress concentration points are likely to cause the generation and expansion of cracks, thereby causing the strength of the product to decrease. In actual applications, failure phenomena such as breakage and delamination are likely to occur.

[0004] In the prior art, one of the commonly used methods for eliminating bubbles is stirring. Most traditional stirring devices can only achieve single-direction rotation stirring, with a single stirring method and limited stirring effect. This single-direction stirring easily causes the epoxy resin to form a fixed flow pattern in the tank body, and the distribution of bubbles in the resin is relatively stable, making it difficult for bubbles to fully escape. Especially for high-viscosity epoxy resins, due to their large internal friction and large resistance to bubble movement, it is more difficult for traditional stirring devices to effectively separate bubbles from the resin.

[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a bubble elimination device for epoxy resin processing to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, a bubble elimination device for epoxy resin processing provided by the present invention includes an installation housing. Inside the installation housing, a stirring assembly is installed. The stirring assembly includes a first motor. The output end of the first motor is connected to an eccentric shaft. One end of the eccentric shaft is slidably connected to a chute. One side of the chute is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation housing. The other side of the chute is fixedly connected to a swing plate. On one outer wall of the swing plate, a straight-edge cylindrical gear is meshed. In the middle of the straight-edge cylindrical gear, a fixed rod is rotatably connected. On one outer wall of the straight-edge cylindrical gear, a rotating sleeve is fixedly connected. On the outer wall of the fixed rod, two first bevel gears are fixedly connected. On one side of the top of each of the two first bevel gears, two second bevel gears are rotatably connected. At each end of each second bevel gear away from the other, a rotating stirring blade is fixedly connected. Each rotating stirring blade is rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve.

[0008] Further, an air extraction assembly is also installed on the inner wall of the installation housing. The air extraction assembly includes a second motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation housing. The output end of the second motor is connected to a turntable. On the outer wall of the turntable away from the second motor, a first connecting rod is rotatably connected. One end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to a pressing rod. One end of the pressing rod away from the second motor is rotatably connected to a second connecting rod. One end of the second connecting rod away from the pressing rod is rotatably connected to a piston. Inside the pressing rod, a guiding slide rail is provided. Inside the guiding slide rail, a first sliding block is slidably connected. On one side of the first sliding block, a second sliding block is rotatably connected. At the bottom end of the second sliding block, a lead screw is threadedly connected. The outer wall of the lead screw is rotatably connected to a fixed bracket. On the outer wall of the pressing rod near the first connecting rod and away from the first connecting rod, a third connecting rod is rotatably connected. One end of the third connecting rod is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket.

[0009] Further, an installation sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the piston. On both sides of the installation sleeve, gas pipelines are connected. On one outer wall of the installation housing, a control panel is installed.

[0010] Further, a tank body is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. On the outer wall of the tank body, two fluid pipelines are connected. One of the fluid pipelines is located on one side of the tank body near the top. The other fluid pipeline is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the tank body. On the inner walls of both ends of the two fluid pipelines close to the tank body, valves are connected.

[0011] Further, one end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation housing. Both of the two first bevel gears are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod.

[0012] Further, one of the gas pipelines is communicated with one side of the top of the tank body, and the other gas pipeline is communicated with the installation sleeve.

[0013] Further, the outer wall of the first motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation housing. The shape of the swing plate is fan-shaped, and multiple teeth are provided on the outer wall of the fan-shaped arc surface of the swing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the elimination process of the bubble elimination device is as follows:

[0015] When the rotating sleeve rotates, because each first bevel gear forms a meshing relationship with the two second bevel gears, the revolution motion driven by the rotating sleeve is converted into the rotation motion of the second bevel gears, so that the rotating stirring blade rotates, thereby stirring the epoxy resin in the tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the revolution can stir the epoxy resin over a large area, making the resin as a whole in a flowing state, while the rotation allows the rotating stirring blades to rotate themselves, generating local eddy currents and shear forces.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Use the stirring component to make circular motion around the center of the tank. The revolution can stir the epoxy resin over a large area, making the resin flow as a whole. The rotation makes the stirring component rotate itself, generating local eddy currents and shear forces, making it easier for the bubbles inside the resin to be peeled off from the resin matrix, breaking the stable distribution of the bubbles in the resin and causing the bubbles to continuously deform, rupture and rise.

[0019] 2. The vacuum component can change the changing pattern and intensity of the negative pressure in the tank during vacuuming. In the raw material mixing stage, the piston stroke can be shortened to remove most of the air in the raw materials at a lower vacuum speed and pressure to avoid splashing of raw materials due to excessive negative pressure. In the reaction process, as the resin viscosity changes and bubbles are generated, the stroke is adjusted in real time to maintain a suitable vacuum degree, promote the reaction and bubble discharge. In the final molding stage, the stroke is extended to increase the vacuum degree to ensure that there are no bubbles remaining inside the product. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8The present invention provides a technical solution: a bubble elimination device for epoxy resin processing, comprising a mounting shell 1, a stirring assembly installed inside the mounting shell 1, the stirring assembly comprising a first motor 3, an output end of the first motor 3 is connected to an eccentric shaft 4, the first motor 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting shell 1, the output end drives the eccentric shaft 4 to do circular motion, one end of the eccentric shaft 4 is slidably connected to a slide groove 5, one side of the slide groove 5 is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 1, one end of the eccentric shaft 4 slides in the slide groove 5, because one side of the slide groove 5 is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 1, under the action of the eccentric shaft 4, the slide groove 5 will do reciprocating swinging motion, the other side of the slide groove 5 is fixedly connected to a swing plate 6, the swing plate 6 is fan-shaped, and the outer wall of the fan-shaped arc surface is provided with a plurality of teeth, as the slide groove 5 swings, the swing plate 6 swings synchronously, the outer wall of one side of the swing plate 6 is meshed and connected with a ruler cylindrical gear 7, the swing of the swing plate 6 drives the ruler cylindrical gear 7 to rotate alternately forward and reverse through the meshing of teeth, so as to realize the transmission of power and the change of direction, the middle part of the ruler cylindrical gear 7 is rotatably connected with a fixed rod 8, one end of the fixed rod 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 1, the ruler cylindrical gear 7 can rotate around the fixed rod 8, when the ruler cylindrical gear 7 is subjected to external force, it will rotate alternately forward and reverse with the fixed rod 8 as the axis, the outer wall of one side of the ruler cylindrical gear 7 is fixedly connected with a rotating sleeve 9, the rotating sleeve 9 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the ruler cylindrical gear 7, the outer wall of the fixed rod 8 is fixedly connected with two first bevel gears 10,

[0031] The position of the first bevel gears 10 on the fixed rod 8 is fixed, and they will not move around the fixed rod 8 with the rotation of the ruler cylindrical gear 7.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8, an air extraction component is also installed on the inner wall of the installation housing 1. The air extraction component includes a second motor 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation housing 1.

One side outer wall of the turntable 14 away from the second motor 13 is rotatably connected to a first connecting rod 15. One end of the first connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to a pressure rod 16. The first connecting rod 15 converts the circular motion of the turntable 14 into the reciprocating swing of one end of the pressure rod 16, realizing the preliminary conversion of the motion. One end of the pressure rod 16 away from the second motor 13 is rotatably connected to a second connecting rod 17. One end of the second connecting rod 17 away from the pressure rod 16 is rotatably connected to a piston 18.

[0033] The second connecting rod 17 converts the reciprocating motion of the pressure rod 16 into the reciprocating linear motion of the piston 18, realizing the air extraction and exhaust actions of the piston 18 in the cylinder. A guiding slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the pressure rod 16. A first sliding block 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guiding slide rail.

[0034] Refer to Figure 6 , an installation sleeve 24 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the piston 18. The piston 18 makes a reciprocating linear motion inside the installation sleeve 24, changing the volume inside the installation sleeve 24 through the reciprocating motion, thereby realizing the air extraction and exhaust actions. Gas pipes 25 are connected to both sides of the installation sleeve 24. One side is for the gas to enter during air extraction, and the other side is for the gas to be discharged during exhaust. At the same time, valves are connected to the inner walls of both gas pipes 25. A control panel 27 is installed on one side outer wall of the installation housing 1.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2, the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the tank body 2. Two fluid pipes 26 are connected to the outer wall of the tank body 2. One of the fluid pipes 26 is located on the side of the tank body 2 near the top, and the other fluid pipe 26 is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the tank body 2. Valves are connected to the inner walls of the two fluid pipes 26 near the tank body 2. The two fluid pipes 26 respectively undertake the functions of fluid input and output. The reasonable arrangement of the fluid pipes 26 can ensure the smooth flow of the fluid inside and outside the tank body 2 and improve the processing efficiency of the component.

[0036] Working principle: When the first motor 3 starts, the output end drives the eccentric shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric shaft 4 causes the chute 5 to swing reciprocally, and then drives the swing plate 6 to swing in a fan shape. The swing of the swing plate 6 drives the straight-edge cylindrical gear 7 to rotate forward and backward alternately around the fixed rod 8, and the rotating sleeve 9 also rotates forward and backward alternately. When the rotating sleeve 9 rotates, because each first bevel gear 10 meshes with two second bevel gears 11, the revolution movement driven by the rotating sleeve 9 is converted into the rotation movement of the second bevel gear 11, causing the rotating stirring blade 12 to rotate, so as to stir the epoxy resin in the tank body 2. The revolution can stir the epoxy resin over a large area, making the resin as a whole in a flowing state, and the rotation makes the rotating stirring blade 12 rotate itself, generating local eddy currents and shear forces, making the bubbles inside the resin easier to peel off from the resin matrix.

[0037] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
