DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a floating leakage-proof device is used in conjunction with a soaking tank 4 to prevent leakage at the outlet 42 of the outlet plate end 9 and the inlet plate end 8 of the soaking tank 4. A plurality of parallel conveying roller groups are arranged inside and outside the soaking tank 4. The plurality of conveying roller groups are used to convey the tray 5 into and out of the soaking tank 4. Any conveying roller group includes an upper conveying roller and a lower conveying roller arranged up and down. A gap is provided between the surfaces of the upper conveying roller and the lower conveying roller. The tray 5 is driven to move in the gap by the upper conveying roller and the lower conveying roller. In the plurality of conveying roller groups, the following are included:

[0027] The first conveying roller group 1 is arranged outside the soaking tank 4 and is respectively located at the outlet 42 of the plate outlet end 9 and the inlet of the plate inlet end 8 of the soaking tank 4. The upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 of the first conveying roller group 1 are arranged up and down and respectively abut against the groove walls on the upper and lower sides of the outlet 42 and the inlet of the soaking tank 4. The two ends of the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 are slidably connected to the soaking tank 4 up and down. In other embodiments, the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 are also connected to the soaking tank body 43 by a spring. When no tray 5 passes through, the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 of the first conveying roller group 1 are in a tight state to seal the outlet 42 and the inlet to prevent the soaking liquid 41 from leaking. When the tray 5 moves to the upper of the first conveying roller group 1 at the plate inlet end 8 When the tray 5 is between the conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11, the tray 5 pushes the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 apart, so that the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 can move away from each other in the vertical direction to form a conveying gap 10, and the tray 5 passes through the conveying gap 10 and passes through the entrance to enter the soaking tank 4. When the tail of the tray 5 leaves the conveying gap 10, under the action of elastic force or gravity, the upper conveying roller 12 approaches and finally presses against the lower conveying roller 11 to close the entrance, wherein the lower conveying roller 11 at the inlet end 8 and the outlet end 9 presses against the edges of the outlet 42 and the entrance respectively. Since the surfaces of the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 are provided with flexible materials, the surface of the lower conveying roller 11 matches the edges of the outlet 42 and the entrance and partially extends into the outlet 42 and the entrance.

[0028] A floating leak-proof component is arranged in the soaking tank 4 and is respectively located at the outlet 42 and the inlet. The floating leak-proof component includes a floating body 2 made of a flexible material. The flexible material has buoyancy and is light in weight. The floating body 2 floats in the soaking liquid 41 of the soaking tank 4 and is located below the conveying direction of the tray 5. The floating body 2 extends along the length direction of the lower conveying roller 11. The floating body 2 is located between adjacent conveying roller groups. When the tray 5 passes over the floating body 2, the tray 5 slightly presses down the floating body 2. The floating body 2 maintains a floating state through buoyancy and presses against the bottom of the lower conveying roller 11 and the tray 5 at the same time, sealing the gap between the lower conveying roller 11 and the bottom hollow of the tray 5 to achieve leak-proofing.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the floating leakage-proof component also includes a connecting shaft 3 arranged in the soaking tank 4, and both ends of the connecting shaft 3 are fixed to the soaking tank body 43 through a fixing seat 6. The connecting shaft 3 extends along the axial direction of the lower conveying roller 11, and the floating body 2 is movably connected to the connecting shaft 3. The floating body 2 can float in the up and down directions on the connecting shaft 3, so that the tray 5 can press the floating body 2 downward.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the floating body 2 is provided with a through hole 24, and the through hole 24 is set as a bar hole. The connecting shaft 3 passes through and rotates to connect the bar hole. The function of the bar hole is to facilitate the floating body 2 to float up and down. In other embodiments, the through hole 24 can be set as a circular hole.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the floating body 2 is provided with a first weight-reducing hole 23 and a second weight-reducing hole 25 , and the first weight-reducing hole 23 and the second weight-reducing hole 25 , the circular hole and the strip hole are coaxial.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 As shown, since the bottom of part of the tray 5 is a non-planar structure, a plurality of the floating bodies 2 are arranged on the connecting shaft 3, and the plurality of the floating bodies 2 are distributed along the length direction of the connecting shaft 3, and adjacent floating bodies 2 abut against each other. The split floating bodies 2 are used to match the bottom of the tray 5 to improve the sealing effect.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4As shown, the floating body 2 is provided with a first protrusion 22 and a second protrusion 21, and the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 21 extend along the length direction of the connecting shaft 3, and the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 21 are used for the bottom of the tray 5 and the lower conveying roller 11 of the first conveying roller group 1 respectively, wherein the first protrusion 22 uses buoyancy to press against the bottom of the tray 5, and when the floating body 2 is in a balanced state, the second protrusion 21 abuts against the surface of the lower conveying roller 11, specifically, the second protrusion 21 abuts against the part of the lower conveying roller 11 extending into the outlet 42 and the inlet.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the floating body 2 is made of polypropylene material, which has a small mass and a large buoyancy.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the conveying roller group also includes a second conveying roller group 7 arranged inside the immersion tank 4 and close to the outlet 42 and the inlet respectively. The second conveying roller group 7 is arranged in parallel with the first conveying roller group 1. The second conveying roller group 7 also includes an upper conveying roller and a lower conveying roller arranged in parallel up and down. A gap 71 for conveying the tray 5 is provided between the upper conveying roller and the lower conveying roller of the second conveying roller group 7. After the tray 5 enters the immersion tank 4, the head of the tray 5 passes through the gap 71 of the second conveying roller group 7.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the floating body 2 and the connecting shaft 3 are both located between the lower conveying roller of the second conveying roller set 7 and the lower conveying roller 11 of the first conveying roller set 1 .

[0037] The working principle of the floating leakage-proof device of the utility model is:

[0038] When the conveying roller group conveys the tray 5 to the entrance of the board inlet end 8, the tray 5 pushes the upper conveying roller 12 of the first conveying roller group 1 upward to enter the immersion tank 4 from the entrance. At this time, the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 are respectively tightly abutted against the top and bottom of the tray 5 to prevent the immersion liquid 41 in the immersion tank 4 from leaking from the gap between the first conveying roller group and the tray 5. Then, when the head of the tray 5 moves above the floating body 2, it presses down the floating body 2. Under the action of buoyancy, the floating body 2 remains in a floating state, and the first protrusion 22 abuts against the bottom of the tray 5. After the floating body 2 is balanced, the second protrusion 21 abuts against the surface of the lower conveying roller 11, thereby tightly sealing the gap between the hollow part of the tray 5 and the lower conveying roller 11, until the tail of the tray 5 completely enters the immersion tank 4, the upper conveying roller 12 and the lower conveying roller 11 of the first conveying roller group 1 are re-fitted to block the outlet 42, and the tray 5 passes through the outlet 42 in the same way when it moves to the board outlet end 9.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
