[0042] Embodiment:

[0043] A hot melt head 310 and a hot melt device for hot melt connection, including a frame body 10, a cylinder 70, a plastic part 80, and a hot melt component 30. The cylinder 70 is arranged at the upper end of the frame body 10. The hot melt component 30 includes a hot melt head 310, a joint 320, and a pressing nail 340. A connecting component 20 is arranged at the extending end of the cylinder 70. The hot melt head 310 is connected to the bottom of the connecting component 20 through the joint 320, and the pressing nail 340 is arranged on the bottom surface of the hot melt head 310;

[0044] A supporting component 50 for limiting the plastic part 80 is further arranged on the inner bottom surface of the frame body 10. The plastic part 80 is installed on the top surface of the supporting component 50. The fixing part 90 is detachably connected to the top of the plastic part 80, and the fixing part 90 is vertically opposed to the hot melt head 310.

[0045] It is explained that the support member 50 is usually made of metal material and has sufficient strength and stability to support the plastic part 80 and the fixing member 90 thereon. The surface of the support member 50 may be specially treated, such as plating or coating, to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The bottom surface of the support member 50 is closely fitted with the inner bottom surface of the frame body 10 to ensure the stability of the whole device. The function of the fixing member 90 is to ensure that the plastic part 80 remains fixed during the hot melting process and avoid affecting the welding quality due to material movement. Among them, the fixing member 90 is vertically opposed to the hot melt head 310 to ensure that the hot melt head 310 can evenly apply heat and pressure during the hot melting process, so as to achieve a high-quality welding effect.

[0046] Specifically, in practical applications, the air cylinder 70 is started, so that the connecting member 20 drives the hot melt head 310 to descend until the pressing nail 340 contacts the surface of the fixing member 90. At this time, the air cylinder 70 continues to provide pressure, and at the same time the hot melt head 310 starts to heat, and the plastic part 80 remains stable under the action of the support member 50. When the part of the plastic part 80 that needs to be melted and connected reaches the melting point, it starts to melt, so that the pressing nail 340 arranged on the bottom surface of the hot melt head 310 is inserted into it, compresses it, deforms the molten plastic material, and realizes a firm connection with the fixing member 90 after cooling. After the melted plastic material is compacted, it can not only enhance the structural strength, but also reduce the internal bubbles and voids, improve the bearing capacity of the material, and moreover, the compacted plastic is usually more uniform, reducing the possibility of deformation, and further improving the overall connection stability.

[0047] Combined with the accompanying drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 14 As shown, a first groove 330 is further formed on the bottom surface of the hot melt head 310. At least three pressing nails 340 are provided and are fixedly arranged on the inner bottom surface of the first groove 330 in a circumferential array. The hot melt head 310 includes a head cover 3110, and a heating rod 3120 for heating and a temperature sensing wire 3130 for detecting temperature are arranged inside the head cover 3110.

[0048] It is explained that the head cover 3110 of the hot melt head 310 can be made of high-strength material according to the actual use situation to ensure good stability and durability in a high-temperature working environment. The setting of the heating rod 3120 can ensure that the plastic part 80 melts within the optimal temperature range, thus ensuring the bonding effect. The temperature sensing wire 3130 then monitors the temperature of the heating rod 3120 in real time to ensure that it works within a safe range and avoid damaging the hot melt head 310 due to overheating.

[0049] Further explanation, the pressing nails 340 provided on the bottom surface of the hot melt head 310 are made of high-temperature resistant metal materials to withstand the high temperature generated during the melting process of the hot melt adhesive. The overall shape of each pressing nail 340 is designed to be conical, so as to evenly apply pressure after the hot melt adhesive melts, ensuring that a uniform adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the object to be bonded. The circumferential array design of the pressing nails 340 enables the hot melt head 310 to evenly apply pressure during operation, thereby improving the bonding effect of the hot melt adhesive.

[0050] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 14 As shown, a hot melt device, the connecting component 20 includes a connecting seat 210 and a heat insulation column 220. The connecting seat 210 is arranged at the bottom of the extending end of the cylinder 70, and the heat insulation column 220 is arranged on the bottom surface of the connecting seat 210 for connecting the hot melt head 310. The frame body 10 includes a connecting column 110, a fixed top plate 120 and a fixed bottom plate 130. The fixed top plate 120 and the fixed bottom plate 130 are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the connecting column 110. The cylinder 70 is installed on the top surface of the fixed top plate 120, and the extending end of the cylinder 70 penetrates through the fixed top plate 120 and is connected to the connecting seat 210.

[0051] Explanation is made that in the design of the frame body 10, the connecting column 110 is made of high-strength metal materials to withstand the pressure generated during the operation of the cylinder 70. The fixed top plate 120 and the fixed bottom plate 130 are both made of thick steel plates to ensure sufficient strength and rigidity. For the convenience of installation and maintenance, a plurality of installation holes are provided on both the fixed top plate 120 and the fixed bottom plate 130, and they are connected to the connecting column 110 through bolts. Among them, the extending end of the cylinder 70 is connected to the connecting seat 210 to ensure accurate positioning of the cylinder 70 during movement.

[0052] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 14 As shown, the fixing component 40 includes a fixing seat 410. The fixing seat 410 is installed on the top surface of the fixed bottom plate 130 through a pair of fixing bolts. A fixing groove 420 is opened inside the fixing seat 410, and a fixing strip 60 for fixing the supporting component 50 is arranged in the fixing groove 420. The supporting component 50 includes a supporting column 510 and a limiting bolt 540. One end of the limiting bolt 540 is arranged in the installation groove opened on the fixing strip 60, and the other end of the limiting bolt 540 penetrates through the fixing seat 410 and is connected to the bottom of the supporting column 510.

[0053] It is noted that in order to further enhance the stability of the support member 50, a base is provided at the bottom of the support column 510. The base adopts a wide and flat design to increase the contact area with the ground, thereby improving the supporting force. Anti-slip rubber pads can also be provided at the edges of the base according to the actual application situation to prevent slipping when used on a smooth ground. Among them, the fixed base plate 130 is usually made of thick steel plate to ensure that it has sufficient strength and stiffness. Multiple mounting holes are provided at the bottom of the fixed base plate 130 and are connected to other basic structures through bolts to ensure the stability of the entire fixed member 40.

[0054] Combined with the accompanying drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 14 As shown, the plastic part 80 includes a plastic cover 810. A second groove 840 is formed on the inner bottom surface of the plastic cover 810, and a pair of clamping posts 850 are arranged inside the second groove 840; a top seat 520 is further arranged on the top surface of the support column 510, and a pair of clamping slots 530 are formed inside the top seat 520. The plastic cover 810 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 510 through the clamping connection of the clamping posts 850 and the clamping slots 530. A boss 820 vertically opposite to the hot melt head 310 is arranged on the top surface of the plastic cover 810, and a convex post 830 is arranged on the top surface of the boss 820, and at least three convex posts 830 are provided, and the convex posts 830 are vertically opposite to the pressing nails 340.

[0055] It is noted that the plastic cover 810 is precisely placed on the top plane of the support column 510, and the second groove 840 designed on its inner bottom surface is in close clamping connection with the boss 820 constructed on the top of the support column 510. In this clamping mechanism, the clamping posts 850 specially provided on the bottom surface of the second groove 840 are precisely corresponding to and locked with a pair of clamping slots 530 preset inside the top seat 520 of the support column 510, so as to ensure that the plastic cover 810 can be firmly fixed at the top position of the support column 510. This design aims to prevent any form of displacement of the plastic cover 810 during the processing process to ensure the accuracy of the processing operation and the quality of the final product.

[0056] Combined with the accompanying drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 14 As shown, the fixing member 90 includes a fixing piece 910. Through holes 920 equal in number to the convex posts 830 are formed inside the fixing piece 910. The fixing piece 910 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the boss 820 through the sleeving of the convex posts 830 and the through holes 920.

[0057] It should be noted that during the operation, the cylinder 70 will drive the hot-melt device to perform an accurate downward movement along the vertical path, and then perform precise heating treatment on the plastic component. During this process, the pressing nail 340 makes precise contact with the convex post 830, prompting the plastic material to smoothly reach the molten state. Immediately afterwards, the system will apply appropriate and stable pressure to ensure that the pressing nail 340 can be smoothly inserted into the through hole 920 preset inside the fixing member 90. At this stage, the melted convex post 830 liquid is compacted, causing the molten plastic material to deform under the action of external force, and forming a firm connection with the fixing member 90 during the subsequent cooling process.

[0058] This compaction process not only significantly enhances the overall strength of the connection structure, but also effectively reduces the possible bubbles and voids inside, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the material. In addition, the compacted plastic material usually exhibits a more uniform texture, greatly reducing the risk of deformation, and further enhancing the overall connection stability and reliability.

[0059] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
