Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screen printing device technology, specifically to a novel high-temperature vehicle-mounted PTC automated screen printing device. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component in the thermal management system of new energy vehicles, PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heaters play a crucial role in vehicle air conditioning heating and battery pack temperature control. Through its unique resistance characteristics, the PTC heater exhibits low resistance and high current at low temperatures, generating heat; as the temperature rises, the resistance increases sharply, and the current decreases, thus automatically limiting temperature increases and achieving efficient and safe heating.
[0003] However, with the rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle market, the demand for PTC heaters has surged, placing higher demands on their production efficiency and quality. In the manufacturing process of PTC heaters, screen printing on the negative electrode sheet is a crucial step, directly affecting the heater's electrothermal conversion efficiency and long-term operational reliability. Traditional screen printing of the negative electrode sheet relies primarily on manual operation, which not only leads to low production efficiency, failing to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also easily results in problems such as blurred patterns and misaligned positions, making it difficult to guarantee the stability and consistency of screen printing quality. This can easily affect the performance and lifespan of the PTC heater, increase the workload of subsequent quality inspection and rework, raise production costs, and reduce market competitiveness.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel high-temperature vehicle-mounted PTC automated screen printing device includes a worktable 100. A conveyor belt 101 is rotatably mounted between the side walls of the worktable 100. A transmission motor 102 that drives the conveyor belt 101 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the worktable 100. PTC products to be screen printed are placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. The outer side wall of the worktable 100 is provided with a spacing mechanism 200 that can separate the PTC products to be screen printed. A notch 103 is opened on the side wall of the worktable 100. A base plate 304 is provided on the worktable 100 at the notch 103 position. A positioning mechanism 300 for clamping and fixing the PTC products to be screen printed is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 304.
[0016] In this embodiment, the spacing mechanism 200 includes a side plate 203 fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the workbench 100. A rotating block 201 is rotatably disposed on the top of the side plate 203. A plurality of spacing rods 202 are disposed on the outer circumference of the rotating block 201. A motor 204 is disposed at the bottom of the side plate 203. The output end of the motor 204 is connected to the end of the rotating block 201 for transmission.
[0017] When the product approaches the spacing mechanism 200, the motor 204 starts, driving the rotating block 201 to rotate. The spacing rod 202 on the rotating block 201 rotates accordingly, ensuring that each PTC product maintains a certain distance, avoiding mutual interference during the screen printing process, and enhancing the screen printing quality.
[0018] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 300 includes a gear 306 rotatably mounted on the top of the base plate 304. The gear 306 has symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 307 on both sides. A limiting block 308 is slidably arranged within the limiting groove 307. A rack 305 is fixedly mounted on the top of the limiting block 308. The rack 305 meshes with the gear 306. Mounting blocks 303 are provided at opposite ends of the two gears 306. Clamping plates 301 are provided on the sidewalls of the mounting blocks 303. A drive motor 309 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 304. The output end of the drive motor 309 is connected to the end of the gear 306. A screen printing device is located above the notch 103.
[0019] When the product reaches the notch 103, the positioning mechanism 300 starts working, the drive motor 309 starts, driving the gear 306 to rotate. Because the rack 305 meshes with the gear 306, the limiting block 308 slides within the limiting groove 307, pushing the mounting block 303 and the clamping plate 301 towards the center, clamping and fixing the PTC product to be screen-printed. After the product is accurately positioned and fixed, the screen-printing equipment starts working, evenly printing ink onto the designated position on the PTC product. After screen printing is completed, the drive motor 309 reverses, the gear 306 drives the rack 305 and the limiting block 308 to move in the opposite direction, and the clamping plate 301 releases the product. The conveyor belt 101 continues to run, sending the screen-printed PTC product out of the work area while simultaneously welcoming the next product to be screen-printed. This ensures the stability and consistency of the PTC product during the screen printing process, effectively avoiding problems such as blurred screen printing patterns and positional deviations, improving the reliability of screen printing quality, reducing reliance on manual operation, lowering labor costs, and significantly improving production efficiency.
[0020] In this embodiment, the surface of the clamping plate 301 that contacts the PTC product to be screen printed is provided with a wear-resistant layer 302.
[0021] By setting the wear-resistant layer 302, the service life of the device can be extended, wear and damage caused by friction can be reduced, maintenance costs and downtime can be further reduced, and the overall efficiency of the device can be improved.
[0022] Working process and principle: When using this device, start the transmission motor 102 to drive the transmission belt 101 to start running. The PTC products to be screen-printed are placed one by one on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. As the conveyor belt moves, the products are fed into the working area. The motor 204 drives the rotating block 201 to rotate, and the spacer rod 202 on the rotating block 201 rotates accordingly to ensure that each PTC product maintains a certain distance and avoids mutual interference during the screen printing process. When the product reaches the notch 103, the positioning mechanism 300 starts working, the drive motor 309 starts, and drives the gear 306 to rotate. Since the rack 305 meshes with the gear 306, the limiting block 308 slides in the limiting groove 307, pushing the mounting block 303 and the clamping plate 301 to move towards the center, clamping and fixing the PTC product to be screen-printed. After the product is accurately positioned and fixed, the screen printing equipment starts working, and the ink is evenly printed on the designated position of the PTC product. After the screen printing is completed, the drive motor 309 reverses, the gear 306 drives the rack 305 and the limiting block 308 to move in the opposite direction, and the clamping plate 301 releases the product. Conveyor belt 101 continues to operate, sending the PTC products that have been screen-printed out of the work area, while welcoming the next product to be screen-printed. This ensures the stability and consistency of PTC products during the screen-printing process, effectively avoiding problems such as blurry screen-printed patterns and positional deviations, improving the reliability of screen-printing quality, reducing reliance on manual operation, lowering labor costs, and significantly improving production efficiency.

Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
