AI Technical Summary
Traditional PMT potting and positioning methods result in significant height differences in the PMT after silicone solidification, affecting subsequent processes. Furthermore, heavy objects pressing down on the PMT can easily damage the optical glass surface in front of it.
A positioning and pressing device is adopted, including components such as a bottom support plate, a tooling base, a support positioning pin, a pipe base positioning plate, a screw, a pipe base pressing plate, and a knob. The adjustable support positioning pin and the pipe base positioning plates of different sizes can adapt to different models of PMT pipes. The pressing height is controlled by a knob that can be repeatedly positioned to prevent damage to the PMT.
This process ensures a high degree of consistency in the solidification of silicone during PMT encapsulation, preventing damage to the PMT optical glass and ensuring production stability and reliability.

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 A positioning and pressing device for PMT sealant filling in the mass production stage includes: a bottom support plate 7, a tooling base 8 on the upper side of the bottom support plate 7, a countersunk hexagon screw 16 between the tooling base 8 and the bottom support plate 7, a second support positioning pin 12 and a first support positioning pin 1 on the upper side of the tooling base 8, a pipe base positioning plate 10 at the upper end of the second support positioning pin 12 and the first support positioning pin 11, four screws 20 on the upper side of the pipe base positioning plate 10, a pipe base pressure plate 11 on the outer side of the upper end of the screws 20, the upper end of the screws 20 passing through the upper side of the pipe base pressure plate 11 and having a knob 2 on its outer side, and a compression spring sleeved between the pipe base pressure plate 11 and the pipe base positioning plate 10 and on the outer side of the screws 20. 3. A linear bearing seat 4 is provided on the upper side of the pipe base positioning plate 10. A guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the linear bearing seat 4. The guide rod 5 is slidably connected to the pipe base pressure plate 11. A flat washer 18 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the guide rod 5. The knob 2 is threadedly connected to the screw 20. A hexagonal head screw 13 is provided between the support positioning pin 12, the support positioning pin 1 and the pipe base positioning plate 10. A flat washer 17 is provided between the hexagonal head screw 13 and the pipe base positioning plate 10. A positioning cap 9 is provided between the support positioning pin 12, the support positioning pin 1 and the tooling base 8. A nut 19 is provided on the outer side of the screw 20 and on the upper side of the pipe base positioning plate 10. Multiple silicone rings 6 are provided on the lower side of the pipe base pressure plate 11.
[0022] After the PMT tube base is installed, non-flowing black silicone rubber is injected into the upper circular hole of the tube base to fill the space between the tube base and the PMT. This serves the following purposes: the black silicone rubber prevents visible light from entering through the gaps behind the PMT tube and damaging the internal electrodes of the PMT; it also solidifies the tube base and the PMT into a whole, preventing stress concentration on the soft wire behind the PMT during production operations, which could cause air leakage at the PMT soft wire outlet and damage the PMT tube.
[0023] After the PMT tube is filled with glue, a batch of six PMTs is loaded into six grooves in the tool base 8, two support positioning pins 12 and one support positioning pin 1 determine the spacing of the tube base positioning plate 10 and the tool base 8, which determines the total height of the PMT after the glue is cured. Cover the tube base pressing plate 11, provide fixation and pressure by tightening the four knobs 2, two compression springs 3 provide buffering to prevent accidental pressure from crushing the PMT, and the set silicone ring 6 provides buffering. After the silicone rubber solidifies, the tube base pressing plate 11 and the tube base positioning plate 10 are removed in turn, and the PMT is taken out for the next process.
[0024] Working principle: In use, after the PMT tube is installed on the tube base, the PMT tube is placed in the groove on the tool base 8, and the tube base positioning plate 10 is installed through the support positioning pin 12 and the support positioning pin 1. The height of the support positioning pin 12 and the support positioning pin 1 determines the total height of the PMT after the glue is cured. Then install the tube base pressing plate 11, and rotate the four knobs 2 to make the tube base pressing plate 11 provide pressure. Two compression springs 3 provide buffering to prevent accidental pressure from crushing the PMT. After the silicone rubber solidifies, the tube base pressing plate 11 and the tube base positioning plate 10 are removed in turn, and the PMT is taken out for the next process.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present application.
