Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fuse manufacturing technology, specifically to a fuse melt blowing tinning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a circuit protection device, the welding process of the fuse element is crucial to the performance of the product. A fuse is a current protection device that works by melting its fusible element due to the heat generated when the current exceeds a specified value for a certain period, thereby breaking the circuit. Fuses are widely used in high and low voltage power distribution systems, control systems, and electrical equipment as short-circuit and overcurrent protectors, and are one of the most commonly used protective devices.

[0003] To ensure rapid melting when the current exceeds a specified value, current fuses require the molten metal to be fixed on a carrier during production. Then, soldering is performed, followed by molten soldering to melt the solder paste into liquid solder, which then cools and adheres to the molten metal. In existing technology, the molten metal tinning process is generally operated manually with a handheld hot air gun, which presents the following problems:

[0004] 1. Inefficient: Requires a dedicated person to operate the entire process, which is time-consuming;

[0005] 2. Poor consistency: The angle, distance, and position of the hot air gun are not fixed due to manual control, resulting in fluctuations in the quality of the finished product;

[0006] 3. Risk of melt damage: Improper operation can easily cause melt deformation or blackening, affecting product reliability;

[0007] 4. Insufficient process stability: Uneven melting of solder paste affects the bonding state between the melt and the tin.

[0008] Existing equipment has failed to solve the above problems, and there is an urgent need for a fuse melt blowing equipment to improve process stability and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a fuse blowing device. This device uses a servo motor to drive a hot air gun along a fixed path and combines a positioning fixture with a stainless steel baffle structure to achieve automated control of the blowing angle, distance, and position, thereby improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: A fuse element blowing device includes:

[0011] The slide mechanism is used to support the melt and carrier assembly;

[0012] A positioning fixture, fixed on the slide of the slide mechanism, includes a convex and concave limiting structure that mates with the long side of the melt and carrier assembly, for positioning and fixing the melt and carrier assembly;

[0013] The hot air gun bracket is located above the slide mechanism;

[0014] A hot air gun, positioned above the slide mechanism, is used to provide hot air for soldering.

[0015] A servo motor, connected to the slide drive, is used to control the slide to reciprocate along a linear path.

[0016] Limit switches are installed at both ends of the slide's movement path to limit the slide's travel distance.

[0017] Furthermore, the hot air gun is mounted above the slide mechanism via a hot air gun bracket, which includes an angle adjustment mechanism, a vertical position adjustment mechanism, and a front-to-back position adjustment mechanism, enabling multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the hot air gun.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a removable baffle located between the positioning fixture and the slide to prevent solder paste from falling onto the slide mechanism during operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the slide and the positioning fixture are fixedly connected by screws.

[0020] Furthermore, the servo motor is electrically connected to the limit switch. When the slide reaches the left or right limit switch, the servo motor drives the slide to automatically return to the initial position.

[0021] Furthermore, the thickness of the baffle is 1.5mm.

[0022] Furthermore, the baffle is made of stainless steel.

[0023] Furthermore, the platform mechanism includes a linear guide rail and a slide table mounted on the linear guide rail.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a control switch electrically connected to the servo motor, the control switch including start and stop buttons.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] 1. Significantly improve production efficiency: The servo motor drives the slide table to automatically complete the tin blowing process, reducing manual operation time. Only loading and unloading operations are required, saving about 50% of the time that originally required a dedicated person to operate the whole process. Moreover, the equipment can start working in cycles after automatic reset, greatly shortening the production cycle.

[0027] 2. Ensure product consistency: The hot air gun has a fixed blowing angle, distance, and position, and the servo motor controls the slide to move at a uniform speed, avoiding human operation deviations. This ensures that the solder paste melts evenly and adheres stably after cooling, significantly improving the consistency of finished product quality.

[0028] 3. Reduce the risk of melt damage: The fully automated tin blowing process eliminates the need for manual intervention in hot air gun operation, avoiding melt deformation, blackening, or localized overheating damage caused by improper hand operation, and improving the reliability of the bond between the melt and the tin.

[0029] 4. Optimize the process flow: The automatic reset function of the equipment simplifies the operation steps. The operator only needs to complete the loading and unloading. During this period, the preceding and following processes can be handled in parallel, which effectively improves the utilization rate of working hours and the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0030] 5. Improved process stability: The combination of stainless steel baffles and positioning fixtures prevents solder paste from splashing or falling, ensuring a clean working environment. At the same time, the detachable structure facilitates maintenance and replacement, enhancing the applicability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description
