Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to vacuuming in a high-temperature vacuum press, and more particularly to a vacuum efficiency enhancement system for a high-temperature vacuum press. Background Technology
[0002] A high-temperature vacuum press is a device that presses multi-layer products together under vacuum conditions. During operation, the vacuum system expels the air from the press chamber, making its internal space close to a vacuum state. This device is widely used in the copper clad laminate industry.
[0003] In the vacuum system of a high-temperature vacuum press, the vacuum pump is an indispensable component. However, existing vacuum pump devices are prone to wear and the vacuum is not stable enough. The gas in the chamber of the high-temperature vacuum press contains dust and other solid particles after heating. When it is extracted by the vacuum pump, it can easily enter the vacuum pump. Furthermore, the vacuum pump and the high-temperature vacuum press are connected by pipes. The heated gas will cool down during the pumping process and produce some condensation. This moisture passes through the vacuum pump, causing the vacuum oil in the vacuum pump to be contaminated by moisture and microparticles. This reduces the working efficiency of the vacuum pump and leads to poor airflow between the copper foil and the prepreg layer and within the fiberglass cloth bundle during the hot pressing of the copper-clad laminate. As a result, the high-temperature vacuum press chamber cannot reach the required vacuum value in a short time, affecting product processing. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Example
[0025] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the instruction manual is attached. Figure 1 and 2The diagram illustrates a vacuum efficiency enhancement system for a high-temperature vacuum press according to this invention. This system can improve the vacuuming efficiency inside the high-temperature vacuum press 1. The system includes the high-temperature vacuum press 1 and a vacuum pump group 2 composed of several vacuum pumps. The vacuum pumps are connected together via pipelines to form the vacuum pump group 2. The vacuum pump group 2 is equipped with an air inlet 21, which is connected to the interior of the high-temperature vacuum press 1's chamber via a pipeline, allowing for the extraction of gas from the press 1. It should be noted that a steel platform 4 is installed on one side of the high-temperature vacuum press 1, and the vacuum pump group 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the steel platform 4 at a height of [missing information]. At the top of the high-temperature vacuum press 1, the connected pipes can be positioned upwards, creating a chimney effect to facilitate gas flow. To extend the service life of the vacuum pump and ensure its working efficiency and stability, a vacuum buffer tank 3 is installed between the high-temperature vacuum press 1 and the vacuum pump assembly 2. The vacuum buffer tank 3 includes a tank body 31, and a support base 32 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 31, providing a height gap between the bottom of the tank body 31 and the mounting surface. One side of the tank body 31 has an internally and externally connected gas inlet 311, and the other side has an internally and externally connected gas outlet 312. The gas outlet 312 is located near the top of the tank body 31, and the gas inlet 311 is located near... Located near the bottom of the tank 31, the gas outlet 312 is higher than the gas inlet 311, facilitating the upward discharge and cooling of gas entering from the gas inlet 311. Correspondingly, the gas inlet 311 is connected to the suction port of the high-temperature vacuum press 1 via a first inlet pipe 11, and the gas outlet 312 is connected to the inlet 21 of the vacuum pump unit 2 via a second inlet pipe 5. Gas from the high-temperature vacuum press 1 enters the tank 31 through the first inlet pipe 11 and exits through the second inlet pipe 5. To cool the heated gas entering the tank 31, a liquid condenser 34 is installed inside the tank 31. The liquid condenser 34 is a spiral... The condenser is a plate condenser or a tube condenser. After the gas enters the tank 31 through the gas inlet 311, it extends upward and passes through the liquid condenser 34 for cooling. To ensure the cooling effect, a number of stainless steel balls 35 are installed inside the tank 31. The stainless steel balls 35 are plugged between the gaps of the liquid condenser 34 to accelerate the cooling of the gas and gas-liquid separation inside the tank 31. The liquid inlet 341 of the liquid condenser 34 is located on the outside of the tank 31 near the bottom, and the liquid outlet 342 is located on the outside of the tank 31 near the top. The condensate enters through the liquid inlet 341 and exits through the liquid outlet 342, cooling the hot gas flowing through the tank 31.To facilitate internal maintenance of the tank 31 and the disassembly and assembly of the liquid condenser 34 and stainless steel ball 35, the top of the tank 31 has an opening that connects the inside and outside. A sealing cover 33 is installed on the opening, and the sealing cover 33 is fixedly connected to the opening by a quick-release clamp. To ensure airtightness, a sealing ring 331 is installed between the sealing cover 33 and the opening. To facilitate the discharge of condensate after gas-liquid separation inside the tank 31, a drain hole 313 is provided at the center of the bottom of the tank 31. A drain pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the drain hole 313, and the drain pipe 36 penetrates downward through the bottom of the supporting base 32. The drain pipe 36 extends outwards and is equipped with a manual valve 361, which controls the opening and closing of the drain pipe 36. To filter the gas in the second intake pipe 5 and remove dust and other fine particles, an air filter 22 is installed at the air inlet 21 of the vacuum pump assembly 2. To filter moisture from the cooled gas in the second intake pipe 5 and prevent it from entering the vacuum pump, a moisture filter 22 is installed on the second intake pipe 5. The moisture filter 6 and the air filter 22 can filter out moisture, dust, and other particles in the gas, preventing contamination of the vacuum oil inside the vacuum pump.
[0026] During operation, vacuum pump unit 2 starts to draw a vacuum. Hot gas in high-temperature vacuum press 1 enters tank 31 through first inlet pipe 11 from gas inlet 311. The gas in tank 31 is discharged through gas outlet 312. As the gas rises from the bottom of the inner cavity of tank 31, it passes through liquid condenser 34 and stainless steel balls 35. Liquid condenser 34 and stainless steel balls 35 can cool the hot gas. The condensate generated during cooling can be discharged from drain pipe 36 at the bottom of tank 31. The cooled gas is input into second inlet pipe 5 through gas outlet 312. The gas in second inlet pipe 5 becomes drier after being filtered by moisture filter 6. After being filtered by air filter 22, it can effectively remove dust and other solid microparticles in the gas, improve the cleanliness of the gas, and ensure that the filtered gas will not be contaminated by dust, moisture and other microparticles when passing through the vacuum pump. This improves the working efficiency and service life of the vacuum pump, reduces the downtime of the vacuum pump, and ensures the production efficiency and processing quality of high-temperature vacuum press 1.
[0027] This high-temperature vacuum pressing machine vacuum efficiency enhancement system can reduce the number of vacuum pump starts and operations, improve production efficiency, and save energy and reduce consumption. It can reduce the entry of water molecules and microparticles into the vacuum pump chamber, effectively prevent the vacuum pump oil from deteriorating due to water vapor emulsification, improve the vacuum oil lubrication of the vacuum pump rotor blades and stator, making the operation smoother. It also makes the exhaust between the copper foil and the semi-cured sheet layers and inside the fiberglass cloth bundle more smooth during the hot pressing of copper-clad laminates. It is easy to manage and maintain, improves the working efficiency of the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump can quickly reach the required vacuum value of 30 Torr within 5 minutes, meeting the performance requirements of various copper-clad laminates.
[0028] It should be emphasized that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
