Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adhesive applicator technology, and in particular to an FFC cable adhesive applicator. Background Technology
[0002] FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) cables allow for flexible flat cable configurations, allowing for arbitrary selection of the number and spacing of conductors, making wiring more convenient, significantly reducing the size of electronic products, lowering production costs, and improving production efficiency. They are ideally suited for data transmission cables between moving parts and motherboards, between PCBs, and in miniaturized electrical equipment. An FFC cable applicator is a specialized device for applying tape or adhesive to FFC cables. Its functions include automatic feeding, automatic applicator application, automatic cutting, and automatic waste collection, greatly improving production efficiency and applicator quality.
[0003] To this end, the specification of patent CN215203515U discloses a flexible flat cable adhesive application machine, which includes a frame with a carrier roller hinged to the frame; a peeling plate on one side of the carrier roller, the end of the peeling plate near the carrier roller being a peeling end, the end face of the peeling end being higher than the top of the carrier roller; a pre-pressure roller above the carrier roller for pressing and bonding the peeling layer and adhesive layer to the workpiece surface, the pre-pressure roller being connected to a pre-pressure drive component for driving the pre-pressure roller closer to or away from the top of the carrier roller; a cutting zone between the carrier roller and the peeling plate, a cutting mechanism on the side of the cutting zone near the carrier roller, the cutting mechanism including a cutter for cutting the double-sided adhesive peeling layer and adhesive layer, and a cutting drive component for driving the cutter closer to or away from the cutting zone. This application has the effect of improving the production efficiency of flexible flat cables.
[0004] The aforementioned flexible flat cable adhesive applicator claims to improve the production efficiency of flexible flat cables, but its adhesive application efficiency is not high enough during use. It is necessary to improve the working efficiency of the device and to automatically apply the adhesive. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an FFC cable adhesive applicator to address the shortcomings of existing FFC cable adhesive applicators that are difficult to improve adhesive application efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an FFC cable adhesive applicator, including a housing;
[0007] The bottom of the box is equipped with support legs, the top of the box is equipped with a workbench, both sides of the top of the workbench are equipped with casters, and the top of the workbench is equipped with a movable plate.
[0008] Guide structures are installed on both sides of the top of the workbench, a bracket is installed at one end of the top of the workbench, a hydraulic rod is installed at the top of the bracket, and a mounting block is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic rod.
[0009] The mounting block has a pressing structure installed at its bottom end. The pressing structure includes a pressing block installed at the bottom end of the mounting block, and a pressing plate is provided at the bottom end of the pressing block.
[0010] In use, the hydraulic rod first extends and retracts, causing the pressure plate to press against the device where the tape needs to be applied. Then, the blade cuts the tape. After cutting, due to the elasticity of the spring, the mounting block and the pressure block can rise and fall. After the hydraulic rod works, the mounting block and the pressure block will press down, and the pressure block will press onto the cut tape. The pressure of the pressure block will apply the tape to the device. The guide rod at the top of the pressure plate passes through the mounting block, and the guide rod can prevent the pressure plate from shifting when it rises and falls.
[0011] Furthermore, a moving mechanism is installed inside the worktable. The moving mechanism includes a servo motor installed on one side of the worktable, a screw installed on one side of the servo motor, and a moving block installed on the outside of the screw. When the servo motor is working, it will drive the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw will drive the moving block to move.
[0012] Furthermore, connecting rods extend through both ends of the movable block, and the connecting rods are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the movable block, so that the connecting rods can guide the movable block.
[0013] Furthermore, the guiding structure includes a second positioning block installed on the top of the workbench, a first positioning block being provided at the top of the second positioning block, and fixing plates being installed at both ends of the first positioning block. A threaded rod passes through the middle of the fixing plate. The first positioning block and the second positioning block can guide the tape.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the threaded rod is uniformly provided with external threads, and the inner side wall of the fixing plate is uniformly provided with internal threads that cooperate with the external threads. The threaded rod and the fixing plate are threadedly connected, and the rotation of the threaded rod will drive the first positioning block to rise and fall.
[0015] Furthermore, the pressure plate has a groove inside, a blade is installed at the bottom of the pressure plate, a guide rod is installed at the top of the pressure plate, and springs are installed on both sides of the pressure plate, so that the pressure block can press the tape tightly.
[0016] Furthermore, the spring is helical in shape, symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the pressure plate, and has elasticity.
[0017] The FFC cable adhesive applicator provided by this utility model has the following advantages: when in use, the adhesive tape can be pressed onto the device to be adhesiveped by the pressure block, and the adhesive tape can be cut by the blade. The cut adhesive tape can then be applied to the device. At the same time, the adhesive tape can be guided by the first positioning block and the second positioning block to make the adhesive tape taut.
[0018] By installing a pressure plate at the bottom of the mounting block, the hydraulic rod extends and retracts, causing the pressure plate to press against the device to be adhesived. Then, the blade cuts the tape. After cutting, due to the elasticity of the spring, the mounting block and the pressure block can rise and fall. After the hydraulic rod works, the mounting block and the pressure block will press down, and the pressure block will press onto the cut tape. The pressure of the pressure block will apply the tape to the device. The guide rod at the top of the pressure plate passes through the mounting block. The guide rod can prevent the pressure plate from shifting when it rises and falls, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the adhesive application efficiency of the FFC cable adhesive applicator.
[0019] By installing a second positioning block at the top of the workbench, the tape can pass through the gap between the first and second positioning blocks. The fixing plates and threaded rods at both ends of the first positioning block form a threaded connection. Tightening the threaded rod will cause it to rotate, which will cause the first positioning block to rise and fall. The first and second positioning blocks can position the tape to prevent it from shifting and can also flatten the tape, thereby achieving the purpose of guiding the tape in the FFC ribbon cable applicator.
