Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vacuum degassing device, and more particularly to a vacuum degassing device for the production and processing of thermally conductive silicone pads. Background Technology

[0002] Thermally conductive silicone pads, also known as thermally conductive silicone sheets or thermally conductive silicone mats, are double-sided adhesive tapes with a high viscosity PET substrate. In the current technology, before thermally conductive silicone pads are cured, they are liquid or semi-solid materials with a viscosity ranging from mud-like to paste-like. The viscosity is very high, and obvious air bubbles will appear during the calendering process. Therefore, it is necessary to degas the thermally conductive silicone pad material in a vacuum environment first.

[0003] However, for slurries with high viscosity, a large amount of foam will be generated on the liquid surface when the internal air bubbles are expelled. It takes a long time for the foam to break and release air, resulting in low defoaming efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vacuum degassing device for the production and processing of thermally conductive silicone pads to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0006] The specific solution is as follows: A vacuum degassing device for the production and processing of thermally conductive silicone pads includes a vacuum machine and a vacuum tank for holding the liquid to be degassed, wherein the vacuum machine and the vacuum tank are connected by a gas pipe; the top of the vacuum tank is provided with an opening and a sealing cap to close the opening, and a stirring device is rotatably connected to its bottom, wherein:

[0007] The sealing cover is provided with a slide rail along its center line, and a scraper is slidably connected to the slide rail. The outer surface of the scraper is uniformly covered with a plurality of radially arranged spikes.

[0008] The sealing cover is also provided with a lead screw module for driving the scraper to reciprocate along the slide rail; the lead screw module includes a lead screw rotatably connected to the sealing cover, a sliding seat slidably connected to the lead screw, and a drive motor for driving the lead screw to rotate.

[0009] The scraper is suspended above the vacuum tank. One end of the scraper is a sliding connection end, which is fixedly connected to the sliding seat. The other end is a free end, which extends into the liquid surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the main shaft of the stirring device extends upward to the middle of the vacuum tank; multiple stirring blades are installed on the main shaft, and the multiple stirring blades are evenly distributed along the outer surface of the main shaft, and the stirring blades are designed to be inclined.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding seat is also provided with a drive mechanism for driving the scraper to move up or down, and the drive mechanism is a telescopic cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing cap is equipped with a liquid level sensor for sensing the liquid level.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing cover is also equipped with a pressure gauge for monitoring the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0015] This application adds a scraper inside the vacuum tank, with one end of the scraper extending below the liquid surface. By controlling the scraper to move left and right inside the tank, the sharp points on the scraper surface come into contact with and puncture the bubbles, thus assisting in the vacuum breaking of bubbles on the liquid surface and improving the degassing efficiency of the vacuum degassing device.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses a vacuum degassing device for the production and processing of thermally conductive silicone pads. The device includes a vacuum machine 2 and a vacuum tank 1 for holding the liquid to be degassed. The vacuum machine 2 and the vacuum tank 1 are connected via an air pipe. The top of the vacuum tank 1 has an opening and a sealing cap 3 that closes the opening. A stirring device 11 is rotatably connected to its bottom. More specifically:

[0022] A slide rail 34 is provided along its center line on the sealing cover 3. A scraper 6 is slidably connected on the slide rail 34. The outer surface of the scraper 6 is evenly covered with multiple radially arranged spikes.

[0023] The sealing cover 3 is also provided with a lead screw module 30 for driving the scraper 6 to reciprocate along the slide rail 34; the lead screw module 30 includes a lead screw 32 rotatably connected to the sealing cover 3, a sliding seat 33 slidably connected to the lead screw 32, and a drive motor 31 for driving the lead screw 32 to rotate.

[0024] The scraper 6 is suspended above the vacuum tank 1. One end of the scraper is a sliding connection end 62, which is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 33. The other end is a free end 63, which extends into the liquid surface.

[0025] Specifically, the main shaft 111 of the stirring device 11 extends upward to the middle of the vacuum tank 1; multiple stirring blades 112 are installed on the main shaft 111, and the multiple stirring blades 112 are evenly distributed along the outer surface of the main shaft 111, and the stirring blades 112 are designed to be inclined.

This allows the operator to easily adjust the height of the scraper and ensures the stability of the scraper 6 during operation.

[0027] Specifically, the sealing cap 3 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 5 for sensing the liquid level. Therefore, the liquid level sensor 5 allows operators to easily monitor the liquid level in the container and adjust the height of the scraper.

[0028] Specifically, the sealing cap 3 is also equipped with a pressure gauge 4 for monitoring the internal pressure of the vacuum tank 1.

[0029] In summary, the main function of the stirring device 11 in this application is to increase the contact area between the gas and the liquid by stirring, making it easier for bubbles to separate from the liquid and rise to the surface, thereby promoting the discharge of bubbles.

[0030] By adding a scraper 6 inside the vacuum tank 1, with one end of the scraper 6 extending below the liquid surface, and then controlling the scraper 6 to move left and right inside the tank so that the sharp points on the surface of the scraper 6 come into contact with and puncture the bubbles, the effect of breaking up the bubbles on the liquid surface is enhanced, which helps to improve the degassing efficiency of the vacuum degassing device.

[0031] Furthermore, the scraper 6 of this application has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and strong practicality, making it easy to promote and use.
