[0001] This application relates to the field of rubber ring processing technology, and in particular to a pressure-applying tool. Background Technology

[0002] During the vulcanization bonding process of fluororubber, a certain pressure needs to be applied to the rubber ring. This pressure plays a role in compaction and air removal during the vulcanization bonding process. At the same time, appropriate pressure can ensure close contact between the adhesive and the bonded materials, reduce gaps and air bubbles, and thus improve the bonding strength.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] This application provides a pressure fixture that can solve the problem that hydraulic flat vulcanizing machines cannot adapt to the special shapes of products.

[0025] Given that a current fluororubber-PTFE bonding process uses a conical surface instead of a planar surface for bonding, this conical design increases the contact area between the bonding surfaces, thereby improving the bond strength and sealing performance between the fluororubber and PTFE. This design also helps prevent media leakage, especially in high-pressure or high-vacuum environments, where the tight fit of the conical surface ensures system sealing. However, hydraulic flatbed vulcanizing machines are suitable for pressurizing products with planar or near-planar shapes, requiring further innovative solutions.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a pressure fixture, including: a base plate 1, a guide rod 2, a pressure block 3, and a drive assembly; wherein, the base plate 1 is rectangular and is provided with mounting holes, through which the base plate 1 can be conveniently connected to any work station. The guide rods 2 are symmetrically connected to the base plate 1. The pressure block 3 is connected to the guide rods 2 and has a pressure head 30 for pressurizing the fluororubber. The end of the pressure head 30 is tapered to effectively adapt to the pressurization of the fluororubber. The drive assembly is connected between the guide rods 2. In use, the drive assembly drives the pressure block 3 to move up and down along the guide rods 2, thereby effectively displacing the pressure head 30. When the pressure block 3 moves downward, the pressure head 30 can effectively apply a downward load to the fluororubber, thus pressurizing it. This pressure plays a role in compaction and air removal during the vulcanization and bonding process of fluororubber. At the same time, appropriate pressure can ensure close contact between the adhesive and the bonded material, reducing gaps and air bubbles, thereby improving the bonding strength. Pressure also helps the adhesive to be evenly distributed on the surface of the bonded material, enhancing the mechanical interlocking effect of the bonding interface, which is crucial for improving bonding strength and durability. The overall operation is convenient, and the structure for pressurizing fluororubber is simple and reliable.

[0027] The driving assembly provided in this application includes a fixed block 40 and a bolt rod 41. The fixed block 40 is connected to the guide rod 2; the bolt rod 41 passes through the fixed block 40 and is rotatably connected to the pressure block 3. During operation, by rotating the bolt rod 41, the bolt rod 41 engages with the fixed block 40 through a threaded connection, thus generating a tendency for rotational displacement. Since the bolt rod 41 is rotatably connected to the pressure block 3, its rotation, constrained by the guide rod 2, effectively drives the pressure block 3 to produce linear displacement, thereby driving the pressure block 3. The pressure head 30 then applies pressure to the fluororubber.

[0028] In this application, an annular boss 6 is also provided on the base plate 1, and the annular boss 6 is aligned with the center of the pressure block 3. During use, by placing the fluororubber in the annular boss 6, the fluororubber can be easily positioned on the base plate 1 and kept aligned with the pressure head 30, ensuring reliable use and guaranteeing the pressure accuracy of the fluororubber. In other embodiments, a groove adapted to the fluororubber can also be provided on the base plate 1. Considering the need to pressure fluororubber of different sizes, this application provides a detachable annular boss 6. The pressure block 3 is fitted onto the guide rod 2, thus facilitating disassembly and replacement for pressure applications of different sizes of fluororubber.

[0029] Considering the adhesive properties of fluororubber, this application requires that pressure be applied slowly to prevent damage to the adhesive layer, and the pressure level should be accurately controlled. Based on these two conditions, the pressure device utilizes the sawtooth thread of the bolt rod 41 to achieve unidirectional transmission and smooth pressure increase. Furthermore, for convenient operation of the bolt rod 41, a hexagonal nut 410 is provided at the top of the bolt rod 41. Applying a given force with a wrench will control the rotation of the bolt rod 41, saving time and effort.

[0030] In this application, a connecting groove 50 is provided on the pressure block 3, and the bolt rod 41 extends into the connecting groove 50. A limiting member is also provided on the pressure block 3 to prevent the bolt rod 41 from falling out of the connecting groove 50. This effectively achieves a rotatable connection between the bolt rod 41 and the pressure block 3, allowing the bolt rod 41 to rotate freely within the connecting groove 50 during use. The limiting member includes a limiting block 51, which is fixed to the pressure block 3. A limiting groove is provided around the bolt rod 41, and the limiting block 51 is fitted onto the bolt rod 41 and engages with the limiting groove.

[0031] During installation, the limiting block 51 is first fitted onto the bolt rod 41. After the bolt rod 41 is connected into the connecting groove 50, the limiting block 51 engages with the limiting groove. The limiting block 51 is also fixed to the pressure block 3 via screws, among other things. This effectively connects the bolt rod 41 to the pressure block 3, ensuring a stable and reliable limiting of the bolt rod 41.

[0032] In this application, to improve the ease of connection between the bolt rod 41 and the pressure block 3, the end of the bolt rod 41 is tapered and connected within the connecting groove 50. Furthermore, the bolt rod 41 and the connecting groove 50 are fitted with a clearance fit, allowing the bolt rod 41 to rotate freely within the connecting groove 50 and reducing wear between it and the inner wall of the connecting groove 50.

[0033] In order to improve the ease of installation of the limiting block 51, the limiting block 51 is provided by two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks. The shape of the connecting blocks includes, but is not limited to, a semi-circular arc shape, and the connecting blocks are provided with arc-shaped grooves that are compatible with the bolt rod 41.

[0034] In this application, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the fixing block 40, and further facilitate the replacement of the pressure block 3, an insert rod 7 is provided around the guide rod 2. The diameter of the insert rod 7 is smaller than the diameter of the guide rod 2. The fixing block 40 is then inserted into the insert rod 7 and overlaps with the guide rod 2, thereby effectively connecting the reinforcing block to the guide rod 2, which is very convenient. In addition, to reinforce the installation of the fixing block 40, a fixing nut 8 is also connected to the top of the fixing block 40 on the insert rod 7. The fixing nut 8 has a reliable structure and is easy to install and remove.
