Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a fully automatic water bath heating device for roller plates. Background Technology
[0002] Roller wheels (also known as conveyor wheels or conveyor rollers) are widely used in electronic manufacturing equipment such as PCBs, LCDs, and glass substrates to ensure smooth transport of the materials during the production process. In practical applications, to ensure a tight fit and installation accuracy between the roller and the metal shaft, a heat-fitting process is usually used for assembly. This involves heating the roller to expand it and then fitting it onto the metal shaft, where it cools to form a secure connection.
[0003] Currently, most domestic enterprises still widely use the traditional manual water bath heating method to preheat the roller plates. This method usually involves immersing the roller plates in hot water at a certain temperature, and then manually removing them for rapid assembly after a set time. However, because the structure supporting the roller plates is mostly a simple limiting hole, the roller plates are prone to shifting and falling off during the rotation heating process, making it difficult to ensure uniform heating. Furthermore, the roller plates are prone to getting stuck in the holes after thermal expansion, preventing smooth discharge. The feeding mechanism lacks a precise orientation and positioning structure, which can easily lead to problems such as roller plate flipping, skew, incomplete pushing, or even damage to the rotating wheel, resulting in poor feeding stability. The discharge mechanism does not consider the expansion and deformation of the roller plates after heating, making it prone to jamming and scratch damage due to dimensional changes, affecting the assembly accuracy and appearance quality of the roller plates. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic water bath heating device for roller plates includes: a water bath tank and a conveying assembly disposed on the feed side and discharge side of the water bath tank.
[0005] Specifically, the water bath tank has a rotatable wheel inside, and the surface of the wheel has several slots arranged in a ring. The slots extend into the interior of the wheel, and a spring is fixed inside the wheel. The spring is arc-shaped and its arc part fits into the slot. The upper end face of the feeding side of the feeding assembly is provided with a telescopic member. When the centers of the slots, the wheel, the telescopic member and the roller are on the same axis, the telescopic member extends to push the roller into the slot.
[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the material conveying assembly includes a feeding track and a discharging track. The discharging side of the feeding track is flush with the center of the slot, and the feeding side of the discharging track is flush with the center of the slot. A vibrating element is provided below the feeding track and the discharging track.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a feeding guide is connected to the end of the feeding track. The discharge side of the feeding guide faces the center of the turntable. A side groove is opened on the other side of the feeding guide. A push plate is connected to the power end of the telescopic member. The push plate is inserted into the side groove.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the track grooves of the feeding track, the feeding deflector and the discharge track are T-shaped, and the upper end face is open for the central shaft of the reciprocating wheel.
[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the material conveying assembly includes a support frame, which includes a feeding side and a discharging side for supporting the feeding track, the telescopic component, and the discharging track.
[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a drive assembly is also included, which includes a motor, a driven pulley, and a timing belt. The pulley and the driven pulley are detachably fixed, and the power end of the motor is synchronously connected to the driven pulley via the timing belt.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, one side of the rotating wheel extends to the outside of the water bath and is connected to a connecting shaft, which is detachably fixed to the driven wheel.
[0012] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the spring includes a fixing part, which is fixed to one side of the slot by bolts.
[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the slot inside the water bath is cylindrical, and the distance between the inner wall of the slot and the outer wall of the wheel is equal to the sum of the radii of the wheel plate and the central axis of the wheel plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: By using springs and other auxiliary structures, the rollers inside the water bath can automatically achieve positioning and structural fastening. After water bath heating is completed, the material unloading function can be achieved without external power through the cooperation between the discharge track and the springs. The overall solution not only avoids the problems of roller movement, falling, and uneven heating during the heating process, but also solves the problem of jamming after the rollers expand due to heat, greatly improving the uniformity of roller heating and the smoothness of material discharge.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0018] Because the structure supporting the wheel pieces is mostly a simple limiting hole, the wheel pieces are prone to shifting and falling off during the rotation heating process, making it difficult to ensure uniform heating. Furthermore, the wheel pieces are prone to getting stuck in the hole after heating and cannot be discharged smoothly. The feeding mechanism lacks a precise orientation and positioning structure, which can easily lead to wheel piece flipping, skewing, incomplete material pushing, or even damage to the rotor, resulting in poor feeding stability. The discharge mechanism does not take into account the expansion and deformation of the wheel pieces after heating, which can easily cause jamming and scratch damage due to dimensional changes, affecting the assembly accuracy and appearance quality of the wheel pieces.
[0019] To address the above problems, the following implementation method is provided: Please see Figures 1 to 6 A fully automatic water bath heating device for roller plates is provided, comprising: a water bath tank 20 and a conveying assembly 10 disposed on the feed side and the discharge side of the water bath tank 20.
[0020] Specifically, the water bath 20 has a rotatable wheel 30 inside. The surface of the wheel 30 has several slots 31 arranged in a ring. The slots 31 extend into the interior of the wheel 30. A spring 32 is fixed inside the wheel 30. The spring 32 is arc-shaped and the arc part fits the slot 31. The upper end face of the feeding side of the feeding assembly 10 is provided with a telescopic member 15. When the center of the slot 31, the wheel 30, the telescopic member 15 and the center of the roller plate are on the same axis, the telescopic member 15 extends to push the roller plate into the slot 31.
[0021] In use, the material is fed to the side of the water bath 20 by the conveying assembly 10, and the sliding roller is pushed into the slot 31 by the telescopic component 15. The thickness of the slot 31 is the same as or similar to that of the sliding roller, which ensures that the sliding roller can be stably inserted into it after transportation. Due to the obstruction of the inner wall of the water bath 20, the sliding roller will not loosen or fall out of the slot 31 during the water bath heating process. Therefore, the sliding roller can rotate synchronously with the rotating wheel 30 and enter the temporal part of the water bath 20 for water bath heating. After the water bath heating is completed, it is sent out from the conveying assembly 10 on the other side. At this time, since there is no external pressure restriction, the spring 32 will produce a state of recovery deformation, thereby pushing the sliding roller out of the slot 31 and re-entering the conveying assembly 10 on the other side for material discharge. In this process, the stability of the sliding roller during the water bath process and the automation of subsequent unloading can be ensured without the restriction of external power.
[0022] To ensure that the reed 32 can stably push out the inserted wheel plate from the other side, the following design is provided in this embodiment: The spring 32 includes a fixing part 33, which is fixed to one side of the slot 31 by bolts.
[0023] The fixing part 33 is fixed to the slot 31. The fixing part 33 is fixed to one side of the slot 31. Although the spring 32 itself can deform, it will still generate a large rebound force at this position, so as to ensure that the roller plate can be stably pushed out of the slot 31 at the other end, thereby ensuring the automatic unloading function at the end.
[0024] In the above technical solution, considering the width of the roller plates, the thickness between the inner walls, and whether the material can stably enter the conveying assembly 10 and be transported away after the subsequent water bath, the structural design of the water bath tank 20 needs to be considered. Based on this, this embodiment provides the following design: The slot inside the water bath 20 is cylindrical, and the distance between the inner wall of the slot of the water bath 20 and the outer wall of the rotating wheel 30 is equal to the sum of the radii of the wheel plate and the central axis of the wheel plate.
[0025] The purpose of this design is to ensure that the roller plate can fit tightly against the inner wall of the water bath 20 after it is inserted into the slot 31 and enters the water bath 20. Due to the compression of the inner wall of the water bath 20, the roller plate can be stably engaged in the slot 31 during the rotation and water bath heating process inside the water bath 20. When it rotates to a horizontal state, the roller plate disengages from the slot of the water bath 20 and loses the compression of the inner wall of the water bath 20. At this time, the roller plate is in a state without additional power, and only the centrifugal force of the roller 30 and the squeezing force of the spring 32 are affected. At this time, the roller plate will be pushed out of the slot 31 by these two forces and enter the material conveying assembly 10 on the discharge side for output.
[0026] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of the material conveying assembly 10 is as follows: The material conveying assembly 10 includes a feeding track 13 and a discharging track 16. The discharging side of the feeding track 13 is flush with the center of the slot 31, and the feeding side of the discharging track 16 is flush with the center of the slot 31. A vibrating element 12 is provided below the feeding track 13 and the discharging track 16.
[0027] The material is conveyed by setting up two sets of tracks, and the vibration of the vibrating element 12 is used to achieve the function of vibratory feeding. In this embodiment, the vibrating element 12 is a linear vibrator, which enables the moving rollers to move within the feed track 13 and the discharge track 16. In this embodiment, since the telescopic element 15 needs to push the moving rollers, it is inconvenient to modify the position and structure of the telescopic element 15 by only setting a single feed track 13. Based on this, the following design is given for the feed side: The end of the feeding track 13 is connected to a feeding deflector 14. The discharge side of the feeding deflector 14 faces the center of the rotary wheel 30. A side groove 141 is provided on the other side of the feeding deflector 14. A push plate 151 is connected to the power end of the telescopic member 15. The push plate 151 is inserted into the side groove 141.
[0028] By adding an additional feed steering component 14 at the end to adjust the feeding position, the simple linear transport is transformed into a steering form at the end. The additional side groove 141 provides the input for the telescopic component 15 to extend or retract. By controlling the gradual extension cycle, one roller is pushed into the slot 31 each time, ensuring continuous, fully automated feeding, unloading, and heating functions. Different roller designs vary; in this embodiment, for example... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the design of its track and other structural components is as follows: Figure 5 Based on the structural style of the roller wheel shown, this embodiment further provides the following design in conjunction with the structure of the roller wheel: The feed track 13, the feed deflector 14 and the discharge track 16 have T-shaped grooves, and the upper end face is open for the central shaft of the reciprocating wheel.
[0029] The T-shaped structure is designed to match the position and engagement of the roller plate, thereby ensuring that the roller plate inserted into the slot 31 remains stable and that the roller plate after water bath heating on the other side can stably enter the discharge track 16 and be delivered. The material delivery of the discharge track 16 is also carried out by the vibrating element 12, and a linear vibrating machine can also be used.
[0030] In this embodiment, all structures and devices need to be on the same horizontal plane as the center of the rotating wheel 30. Based on this, corresponding support devices are required, and the specific design is shown below: The material conveying assembly 10 includes a support frame 11, which includes a feed side and a discharge side for supporting the feed track 13, the telescopic member 15 and the discharge track 16.
[0031] The support frame 11 provides support at the bottom. In this embodiment, the support frame 11 is not limited to a frame structure, but can be a support rod, support seat, support frame, etc. The core purpose is to provide support for the feeding track 13, the telescopic component 15 and the discharging track 16.
[0032] In addition, to further ensure the stable rotation of the rotating wheel 30, a drive assembly 40 is also designed in this embodiment, the specific design of which is shown below: The drive assembly 40 includes a motor 41, a driven pulley 42, and a timing belt 43. The pulley 30 and the driven pulley 42 are detachably fixed. The power end of the motor 41 is synchronously connected to the driven pulley 42 via the timing belt 43.
[0033] A synchronization scheme employing a driving pulley 42, a driven pulley 42, and a timing belt 43 is adopted. The power output of the driving pulley relies on the motor 41, which provides the main power and transmits it to the timing belt 43. The detachable fixing between the timing belt 43 and the pulley 30 ensures the synchronization of subsequent maintenance and rotation. Based on this, its structural design is as follows: One side of the rotating wheel 30 extends to the outside of the water bath 20 and is connected to a connecting shaft 34. The connecting shaft 34 is detachably fixed to the driven wheel 42.
[0034] That is, the connection and fit are achieved through the connecting shaft 34 and the driven wheel 42. In this design fit, the connecting shaft 34 can be fixed to the driven wheel 42 by bolts, or it can be fixed to the driven wheel 42 by a spline shaft, or it can be other types of fixing methods. It is not limited to a certain type of fixing method.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Anyone skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
