Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of copper nut inlaying, and in particular relates to a universal copper nut hot-melting machine. Background Art
[0002] Plastic shells are used in the shells of various industrial products, such as laptops, keyboards, and shells of various types of electronic products. Since the shell needs to be connected to the internal parts, and the surface of the shell must ensure aesthetics and airtightness, the inside of the plastic shell is usually set with fasteners by embedding copper nuts. There are several ways to embed copper nuts into plastic parts, such as mold forming pre-embedding, hot melting, ultrasonic embedding, and cold pressing. The mold forming pre-embedding process is to put the copper nut into the mold for one-piece injection molding before injection molding, but due to the different shrinkage coefficients of the nut and the plastic, it is easy to produce residual stress, low precision and low efficiency; the ultrasonic and cold pressing methods apply too much pressure on the copper nut, which is easy to damage the structure of the nut and affect the physical properties of the nut; the hot melting process is to heat the copper nut to a certain temperature to soften the plastic, and then slowly press it into the plastic body. This method produces less internal stress, and the torsional force effect of the nut is also very good, so hot melting embedding is the most common and most common embedding method. The traditional hot melt implantation process is generally operated by a manual electric soldering iron. Operators are prone to burns, inadequate hot melt, and leakage during the processing, which makes the quality of the finished product unstable, the processing efficiency is low, and the operation safety cannot be guaranteed. At present, although there are hot melt equipment that can automatically process on the market, it also relies on manual cooperation and cannot automatically perform hot melt processing. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing process and improve the processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

When the blanking pipe 35 is in place, the pushing cylinder 41 retracts, and the pushing cross bar 43 pushes forward to align the positioning through hole 431 carrying the copper nuts with the upper port of the blanking pipe 35. The copper nuts fall through the blanking pipe 35 into the hole positions of the plastic workpiece 931.

The pressing cylinder 211 drives the nut initial pressing positioning shaft 5 to move downward through the positioning through hole 431 and the blanking pipe 35 to continuously heat and press the copper nuts falling on the hole positions. The copper nuts melt the plastic around the hole positions and simultaneously sink downward into the plastic under the action of pressure. When the upper end of the copper nuts is flush with the plastic surface, the nut initial pressing positioning shaft 5 retracts, and the pushing cross bar 43 resets to complete a hot melting operation.
