[0027] like Figure 1As shown, an automatic dipping machine includes a frame 1, a dipping tank 2, a collection hopper 3, and a roller structure 44. The frame 1 includes an upper layer 11 and a lower layer 12. The lower layer 12 includes a dipping chamber 121 and a collection chamber 122. The dipping tank 2 is placed in the dipping chamber 121, and the collection hopper 3 is placed in the collection chamber 122. A first guide rod 5 is provided on the upper layer 11, and the roller structure 44 is connected to the first guide rod 5. The roller structure 44 can move left and right along the first guide rod 5 within the upper layer 11. A sealing cover 9 is provided in the dipping chamber 121. The cross-sectional area of ​​the dipping chamber 121 on the horizontal plane is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the dipping tank 2 on the horizontal plane. Rollers 21 are provided at the bottom of the dipping tank 2. The dipping tank 2 can move within the dipping chamber 121 so that the dipping tank 2 has at least a closed state aligned with the sealing cover 9 and an open state offset from the sealing cover 9.

[0028] Furthermore, a second guide rod 6 is provided inside the impregnation chamber 121, and a first linear bearing 8 is provided on the impregnation tank 2, which is connected to the second guide rod 6; a rodless cylinder is provided on the impregnation tank 2 to drive the impregnation tank 2 to move along the second guide rod 6.

[0029] Furthermore, the roller 44 structure 4 includes an outer support 41, an inner support 42, a first cylinder 43, a roller 44, and a motor 45. The outer support 41 is movably connected to the first guide rod 5, allowing the outer support 41 to move left and right on the first guide rod 5. The first cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the outer support 41, and its piston rod is connected to the inner support 42, enabling the inner support 42 to move up and down along the outer support 41. The roller 44 is movably connected to the inner support 42, and the motor 45 is fixedly connected to the inner support 42 and connected to the roller 44 via a chain 46, enabling the motor 45 to rotate the roller 44. A second cylinder is provided on the outer support 41, which drives the outer support 44 to move along the first guide rod 5.

[0030] Furthermore, the cross-section of the roller 44 is hexagonal, and honeycomb-shaped through holes are provided on all six sides of the roller 44. Two of the six sides of the roller 44 that are spaced apart from each other can be opened to release or feed material.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer support 41 of the roller 44 is connected to the first guide rod 5 through a second linear bearing 47 to ensure the stability of the movement of the outer support 41 of the roller 44.

[0032] Furthermore, the automatic impregnation machine also includes a control console and a controller. The control console is used to operate the automatic impregnation machine, and the controller is connected to the control console via a wire. The controller is equipped with automatic start and jog buttons. The control console is equipped with a touch screen for adjusting various parameters of the automatic impregnation machine, and also has low-speed and high-speed operation buttons. By using the controller settings, the equipment can be operated while observing its operation, making the control of the equipment simpler and more convenient.

[0033] Initially, roller 44 is directly above the collecting hopper 3. The outer side of roller 44 is opened, and the product to be impregnated is placed inside. The second cylinder drives roller structure 4 along the first guide rod 5 to reach the top of the impregnation chamber. The rodless cylinder drives the impregnation box to move, causing it to be misaligned with the sealing cover. The impregnation box moves to directly below roller 44. The first cylinder 43 pushes roller 44 into the impregnation box 2. Simultaneously, the motor 45 drives roller 44 to rotate, ensuring the product inside is fully impregnated. The first cylinder 45 pulls roller 44 out of the impregnation box 2. Through the rotation of roller 44, any remaining adhesive after impregnation is removed. The rodless cylinder drives the impregnation box to move until it overlaps with the sealing cover, sealing the impregnation box. Then, the second cylinder drives roller structure 4 along the first guide rod 5 to reach the top of the collecting hopper 3, opening the lower side of roller 44, allowing the product to be poured into the collecting hopper 3.

[0034] The sealing cover keeps the impregnation tank closed when not in use, reducing glue evaporation. The impregnation tank is moved by a rodless cylinder, automatically opening and closing it, thus automating the impregnation operation and simplifying the process.

[0035] In addition, the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the rodless cylinder of this application all have a pressure holding function in case of air shortage. That is, when the equipment is cut off from air supply, the piston rod of the cylinder will remain in the current position, which will prevent the cylinder from falling due to air shortage failure and improve the reliability of equipment operation.

[0036] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
