[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model proposes an exposure device for producing resistance strain gauges, including an operating table 1, a support base 12, a pressure cap 14, a tensioning assembly, a push plate 21, a linear drive assembly, and a lifting drive assembly 22. The operating table 1 has support feet at its bottom, with casters at the bottom of the support feet and self-locking components on the casters. A housing 2 is mounted on the operating table 1, housing the exposure assembly and a vacuum assembly, and a doorway 201 is provided on the housing 2. The exposure assembly includes a movable frame 3, a first cylinder 4, and an exposure lamp 6. The movable frame 3 is located inside the housing 2 and slidably connected to its inner wall. The body of the first cylinder 4 is connected to the housing 2, and the push rod of the first cylinder 4 is connected to the movable frame 3. The exposure lamp 6 is mounted on the movable frame 3, with a through hole 301 below the exposure lamp 6, and a heat sink 5 is mounted on the movable frame 3, connected to the heating end of the exposure lamp 6. A heat sink is installed on the chassis 2, and an air inlet communicating with its interior is provided on the chassis 2. A dust filter is installed inside the air inlet, and a light shield is installed outside the air inlet. The vacuum assembly includes a vacuum pump 11, the body of which is located inside the chassis 2. The exhaust end of the vacuum pump 11 is connected to the outside, and the input end of the vacuum pump 11 is connected to a bellows 10. The other end of the bellows 10 is inserted into the air guide cavity and communicates with its interior. A slide 121 is provided at the bottom of the support base 12. The slide 121 is slidably connected to the operating table 1. A sliding groove is provided on the slide 12. An air guide cavity is provided inside the support base 12, and a perforated plate 122 is provided on the inner wall of the air guide cavity. A pressure cap 14 is rotatably mounted on the support base 12 and fits against it. The pressure cap 14 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 15, and the connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to a first slider 16. The first slider 16 is slidably connected to the support base 12. A tensioning assembly is mounted on the support base 12, and the movable end of the tensioning assembly is connected to the first slider 16. The tensioning assembly includes a fixed base 19 and a spring 20. The fixed base 19 is connected to the support base 12, and a slide rod 17 is slidably connected to it. One end of the slide rod 17 is connected to the first slider 16, and the other end is connected to the second slider 18. The fixed base 19 is located between the first slider 16 and the second slider 18. The spring 20 is sleeved on the slide rod 17, and both ends of the spring 20 abut against the fixed base 19 and the second slider 18, respectively. The push plate 21 is slidably connected to the perforated plate 122, and the upper surface of each push plate 21 is flush with the upper surface of the perforated plate 122. The linear drive assembly includes, but is not limited to, a linear module 13. The body of the linear module 13 is connected to the operating table, and the linear module 13 extends into the interior of the housing 2 along the doorway 201. The output end of the linear module 13 is connected to the slide base 121. The lifting drive assembly 22 is connected to the slide base 121 and drives the push plate 21 to rise or fall.
[0030] In this embodiment, the strain gauge to be exposed is placed flat on the porous plate 122. Then, the linear module 13 is activated, which drives the slide 121 to slide and pushes the support 12 into the housing 2 along the doorway 201. At this time, since the cover 14 is in the open state, the back plate of the cover 14 is blocked by the housing 2 and gradually fits against the support 12, thereby pressing the strain gauge onto the porous plate 122. After the support 12 is moved into place, the vacuum pump 11 is activated to evacuate the air guide cavity, thereby making the strain gauge fit tightly and fixed. Then, the exposure lamp 6 is turned on, and the height of the lamp source is adjusted by the first cylinder 4. After the strain gauge is exposed, the linear module 13 is activated to move the support 12 outward. After the support 12 is separated from the housing 2, the cover 14 is automatically opened by the spring tension pushing the second slider 18. Then, the lifting drive assembly 22 drives the push plate 21 to move upward, which can lift the strain gauge that has been exposed from the porous plate 122.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes an exposure device for producing foil resistance strain gauges. Compared with the first embodiment, the movable frame 3 is provided with a sliding cover 7 that is slidably connected to it, and the movable frame 3 is designed with a second cylinder 8 to drive the sliding cover 7 to slide. The sliding cover 7 is pushed and pulled by the second cylinder 8 to open or close the through hole 301.
[0033] In this embodiment, the light source of the exposure lamp 6 is isolated by pushing and pulling the sliding cover 7, so as to avoid frequently switching the exposure lamp 6 on and off during the continuous exposure of multiple strain gauges.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the exposure equipment for producing foil resistance strain gauges proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, includes a lifting drive assembly 22 comprising a movable plate 221, a lead screw 223, a worm gear 224, a worm 225, a gear 226, and a rack 227 in its lifting drive assembly 221. The movable plate 221 is located within a sliding groove and slidably connected to its inner wall. Several limiting rods 222 are provided on the movable plate 221, each of which passes through the support base 12 and is connected to the push plate 21 on the corresponding side. The lead screw 223 is located within the sliding groove and rotatably connected to the slide base 121. The lead screw 223 passes through the movable plate 221 and is helically connected to it. The worm gear 224 is coaxially connected to the lead screw 223, and the worm 225 is rotatably connected to the slide base 121, with the worm 225 meshing with the worm gear 224. The gear 226 is coaxially connected to the worm 225, and the rack 227 is connected to the operating table 1, located outside the machine housing 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, with the support base 12 outside the housing 2 and the pressure cover 14 in the open state, the drive linear module 13 continues to move the support base 12 away from the housing 2. During the movement of the support base 12, the gear 226 meshes with the rack 227 and drives the gear 226 to rotate through the rack 227, which in turn drives the worm gear 225 to rotate. The worm gear 225 then drives the worm wheel 224 and the lead screw 223 to rotate. The rotating lead screw 223 drives the movable plate 221 to rise and pushes the push plate 21 through the limit rod 222, lifting the strain gauge that has been exposed on the perforated plate 122. This facilitates the non-contact transfer of the strain gauge by the operator. Furthermore, this structure has a reverse self-locking function, which can effectively ensure the precise height of the push plate 21 in each state.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
