[0002] Before bonding, the existing water heater panel and mask need to rely on one side of the panel to be tightly positioned and the other side to be pushed to align the mask and the panel, but the manufacturing error of the panel will affect the symmetry error of the entire assembly after bonding. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a tool for bonding a water heater mask and a panel in view of the current status of the prior art, so as to reduce the symmetry error of the entire assembly after bonding.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a tool for bonding a water heater mask to a panel, comprising:

[0005] a frame having an upper surface;

[0006] It is characterized by also including:

[0007] A rectangular flat plate matching the shape of the mask is arranged on the frame, and the lower plate surface of the flat plate is spaced opposite to the upper surface of the frame to form a gap, and the upper plate surface of the flat plate is provided with a water heater mask cover thereon, so that the first bonding wall of the mask to be bonded to the panel is supported on the upper plate surface of the flat plate and the center of the first bonding wall corresponds to the center of the flat plate, and the side wall of the mask extending downward from the edge of the first bonding wall is located at the periphery of the side edge of the flat plate; at the same time, the extension direction of a group of parallel edges of the flat plate is recorded as the left-right direction, and they are arranged one after the other;

[0008] A power mechanism is disposed in the gap and has two power output ends, and the two power output ends can move synchronously with the center of the plate as the center and relatively approach or move away in the front-rear direction;

[0009] Two first positioning members are located on the front and rear sides of the flat plate, and can be synchronously moved to the first position in a close posture under the drive of their respective corresponding power output ends, thereby clamping the front and rear sides of the panel located above the first bonding wall so that the center of the panel is aligned with the center of the first bonding wall, or can be synchronously moved to the second position in a distant posture under the drive of their respective corresponding power output ends, thereby loosening the panel.

[0010] Since the two power output ends of the power mechanism in the utility model can move synchronously with the center of the flat plate as the center, the two first positioning members constrained together with the power output ends can also move synchronously with the center of the flat plate as the center. At the same time, since the center of the first bonding wall of the mask corresponds to the center of the flat plate, the center of the panel placed on the first bonding wall can be aligned with the center of the first bonding wall under the action of the two first positioning members, thereby reducing the symmetry error of the entire assembly after bonding; when the bonding work is completed, the power mechanism drives the two power output ends to move in a posture away from each other, so that the panels opened by the two first positioning members can be conveniently operated.

[0011] Preferably, the flat plate is provided with a support column which can be extended up and down and is used to pass through the through hole on the first bonding wall of the mask, and the upper end surface of the support column is supported by the panel;

[0012] It also includes a pressing member, which is located above the flat plate and can overcome the telescopic force of the support column and move downward to press the panel onto the first bonding wall under the drive of the first driving member.

[0013] The plug-in cooperation between the support column and the first bonding wall is beneficial to the positioning of the first bonding wall.

[0014] Preferably, the pressing member is in a plate-like body, and a lower plate surface thereof is opposite to an upper plate surface of the flat plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the flat plate includes an upper plate body and a lower plate body arranged side by side, the lower plate body is fixed relative to the frame and is provided with the above-mentioned support column, the upper plate body can be detachably placed on the lower plate body, and a through hole that penetrates the thickness of the plate is provided at a position corresponding to the support column on the upper plate body, so that the upper end of the support column can pass through and be exposed above the upper plate body.

[0016] In this way, the upper plate body can be replaced according to the size and shape of the product to be suitable for processing products of different models.

[0017] Preferably, there are at least two supporting columns, which are arranged on the flat plate at intervals.

[0018] Preferably, an elastic member is further included to act on the support column so that the support column always has a tendency to extend upward.

[0019] In the above solution, preferably, the front-to-rear distances of the two first positioning members relative to the flat plate are consistent.

[0020] Furthermore, the power mechanism is a cylinder with a double-piston design, and the two pistons are respectively connected to their corresponding first positioning members.

[0021] Preferably, each first positioning member includes a first connecting seat connected to the power output end of the power mechanism, and positioning blocks provided on the first connecting seat and arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and each positioning block is located above the flat plate and is used to correspond to the edge setting of the panel.

[0022] To further reduce the symmetry error of the entire assembly after bonding, preferably, two second positioning members are further included, which are located on the left and right sides of the flat plate and can move left and right relative to the flat plate under the drive of the second driving member to clamp the two sides of the panel or release the panel.

[0023] Preferably, there are two second driving members, which are respectively arranged corresponding to respective second positioning members.

[0024] In the above schemes, preferably, there is also a ejector, which is located on the upper surface of the frame and can move upward to lift the mask under the drive of the third driving member. In this way, after the bonding is completed, the mask can be lifted upward by the ejector.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: since the two power output ends of the power mechanism in the utility model can move synchronously with the center of the flat plate as the center, the two first positioning parts constrained together with the power output ends can also move synchronously with the center of the flat plate as the center, and at the same time, since the center of the first bonding wall of the mask corresponds to the center of the flat plate, the center of the panel placed on the first bonding wall can be aligned with the center of the first bonding wall under the action of the two first positioning parts, thereby reducing the symmetry error of the entire assembly after bonding; when the bonding work is completed, the power mechanism drives the two power output ends to move in a posture away from each other, so that the panels opened by the two first positioning parts can be conveniently operated.

[0034] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a tooling for bonding a water heater mask to a panel of the utility model is shown, the mask 3 has a rectangular first bonding wall 31 to which the panel 4 is to be bonded, a side wall 32 folded backward from the edge of the first bonding wall 31 and extending backward, and the first bonding wall 31 is provided with a plurality of circular through holes 310 spaced apart from each other.

[0036] The tooling comprises a frame 1 , a plate 2 , a power mechanism 5 , a first positioning member 6 , a pressing member 7 , a second positioning member 8 and an ejecting member 9 .

[0037] The frame 1 has an upper surface.

[0038] The flat plate 2 is rectangular and is arranged on the frame 1. The flat plate 2 includes an upper plate body 2a and a lower plate body 2b arranged side by side. The lower plate body 2b is fixed relative to the frame 1, and the lower plate surface of the lower plate body 2b is spaced and opposite to the upper surface of the frame 1 to form a gap 20. At the same time, a plurality of support columns 21 that can be extended and retracted up and down are arranged on the lower plate body 2b at intervals, which are used to pass through the through holes 310 on the first bonding wall 31, and the upper end surface of the support column 21 is supported by the panel 4. The upper plate body 2a can be detachably placed on the lower plate body 2b, and a through hole 22 that penetrates the plate thickness is provided at the position corresponding to the support column 21 on the upper plate body 2a, so that the upper end of the support column 21 can pass through and be exposed above the upper plate body 2a. At the same time, a spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of each support column as an elastic member 23, and the elastic member 23 acts on the corresponding support column 21, so that each support column 21 always has a tendency to extend upward. The upper plate surface of the upper plate body 2a is covered with the water heater mask 3 so that the first adhesive wall 31 of the mask 3 is supported on the upper plate surface of the flat plate 2 and the center of the first adhesive wall 31 corresponds to the center of the flat plate 2, and the side wall 32 of the mask 3 is located at the periphery of the side edge of the flat plate 2. At the same time, the extension direction of a group of parallel edges of the flat plate 2 is recorded as the left-right direction, and they are arranged one after the other.

[0039] The power mechanism 5 is a cylinder with a double-piston design (specifically, a wide finger cylinder with model MHL2-32D), the center of which corresponds to the plate 2 is located in the gap 20, and its two pistons as the two power output ends 51 of the power mechanism 5 can be synchronously extended and retracted forward and backward and relatively close to or away from each other in the front-to-back direction.

[0040] There are two first positioning members 6, which are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the flat plate 2, and the front and rear distances of the two first positioning members 6 relative to the flat plate 2 are consistent, and they are respectively connected to their corresponding power output ends 51, and can be synchronously moved to the first position in a close posture under the drive of their corresponding power output ends 51, so as to clamp the front and rear sides of the panel 4 located above the first bonding wall 31 so that the center of the panel 4 is aligned with the center of the first bonding wall 31, or can be synchronously moved to the second position in a far-away posture under the drive of their corresponding power output ends 51, so as to release the panel 4. In this embodiment, each first positioning member 6 includes a first connecting seat 61 connected to the power output end 51 of the power mechanism 5, and positioning blocks 62 arranged on the first connecting seat 61 and arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and each positioning block 62 is located above the flat plate 2 and is used to be set at the edge of the corresponding panel 4.

[0041] There are two second positioning members 8 , which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the plate 2 , and can be driven by the corresponding second driving members 81 to move left and right relative to the plate 2 to clamp the two sides of the panel 4 or release the panel 4 .

[0042] The above-mentioned clamping member 7 is located above the flat plate 2 and is in the shape of a plate. The lower surface of the plate is opposite to the upper surface of the upper plate body 2a. Driven by the first driving member 71, the clamping member 7 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 23 and move downward to press the panel 4 onto the first bonding wall 31, thereby realizing the bonding operation between the panel 4 and the mask 3.

[0043] The ejector member 9 is located on the upper surface of the frame 1 and can move upward to lift up the mask 3 when driven by the third driving member 91, so as to facilitate lifting up the mask 3 and the panel 4 bonded to the mask 3 after the bonding operation is completed.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first driving member 71, the second driving member 81, and the third driving member 91 may be existing pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders, etc.

[0045] Before the bonding operation, the upper plate 20 that matches the shape and size of the first bonding wall 31 of the mask 3 can be selected and installed on the lower plate 2b. The mask 3 is placed on the flat plate 2, and the panel 4 is placed on the mask 3. Then the first positioning member 6 is driven to move by the power mechanism 5, and the second positioning member 8 is driven to move by the second driving member 81 to calibrate the position of the panel 4, so that the panel 4 is aligned with the first bonding wall 31 of the mask 3, and then the pressing member 7 is driven downward by the first driving member 71 to press the panel 4 on the mask 3.

[0046] After the bonding operation is completed, the third driving member 91 drives the ejecting member 9 to move upward to lift up the mask 3, which is convenient for operation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning operation of aligning the panel 4 and the mask 3 is a process before "bonding". "Bonding" is a prior art, and the mask and the panel can be bonded together by existing adhesives such as glue.
