Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lead frame drying device, comprising a base frame 1; a heating frame 12 is mounted on top of the base frame 1; a heating plate 13 is mounted on the bottom of the heating frame 12; the top of the base frame 1 and the bottom of the heating frame 12 are inclined and parallel; multiple adjustment mechanisms are mounted in the middle of the base frame 1; a first motor 14 is mounted in the middle of the adjustment mechanisms; a round rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 14; a pair of grooves 16 are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the round rod 15; during operation, the base frame 1 is installed between a pair of lead frame conveying mechanisms, and the sheet-like lead frame is conveyed from the higher side of the base frame 1 to the higher position of the base frame 1, and then the sheet-like lead frame slides down the inclined surface of the base frame 1. When the bottom end of the lead frame slides to a round rod 15, the lead frame... The bottom end will be inserted into the groove 16, and then the first motor 14 will be started to drive the round rod 15 to rotate. This will cause the lead frame to rotate and flip using the groove 16. After the round rod 15 rotates half a turn, the groove 16 carrying the lead frame will rotate to the top of the second inclined plane. Then the flipped lead frame will slide down again. During the entire process of the lead frame sliding on the base frame 1, it will be flipped multiple times with the cooperation of multiple round rods 15, and the surface will be heated and dried by the heating plate 13. Finally, the dried lead frame will slide down to the conveying mechanism on the lower side of the base frame 1. Through the above structure, the sheet lead frame can be flipped frequently when drying, so that both sides of the sheet lead frame can be effectively heated and dried, reducing the residual moisture.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, multiple guide rods 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1; a fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the multiple guide rods 2; an electric cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 21; a connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the electric cylinder 22; the connecting plate 23 is slidably connected to the middle of the multiple guide rods 2; the material properties of the lead frame are the key factors determining the drying temperature. When drying lead frames made of different materials, the operation of the electric cylinder 22 can drive the connecting plate 23 to slide up and down along the middle of the multiple guide rods 2, thereby causing the heating frame 12 to rise or fall. When the heating frame 12 is lowered, the distance between the heating frame 12 and the base frame 1 increases, causing more heat loss when the heating plate 13 reaches the inclined surface on the base frame 1, thereby reducing the baking temperature of the lead frame on the base frame 1. When the heating frame 12 is lowered, the distance between the heating frame 12 and the base frame 1 decreases, reducing the heat loss of the heating plate 13 and increasing the baking temperature of the lead frame on the base frame 1. Through the above structure, the baking and drying temperature of the lead frame can be adjusted, enabling the device to bake and dry lead frames of different materials, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a groove 3 is provided in the middle of the base frame 1; the adjustment mechanism includes a mounting bracket 31 and a positioning bolt 32; the mounting bracket 31 is slidably connected to the middle of the groove 3; the first motor 14 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting bracket 31; the positioning bolt 32 is detachably installed in the middle of the mounting bracket 31; the side wall of the base frame 1 has threaded holes; during operation, after multiple mounting brackets 31 are installed in the middle of the base frame 1, the spacing between multiple grooves 3 is fixed. When the length of the lead frame that needs to be dried is greater than the distance between a pair of round rods 15, the bottom of the lead frame may be difficult to insert into the groove 16. At this time, the positioning bolt 32 in the middle of part of the mounting bracket 31 can be removed so that the positioning bolt 32 is no longer inserted into the threaded hole in the middle of the base frame 1. The mounting bracket 31 is lowered, causing the corresponding round rod 15 to fall below the top slope of the base frame 1. This prevents the round rod 15 from obstructing the downward movement of the lead frame. When drying smaller lead frames, the mounting bracket 31 is slid up again, causing the round rod 15 to protrude from the slope of the base frame 1. The positioning bolt 32 is then passed through the middle of the mounting bracket 31 and screwed into the threaded hole on the side wall of the base frame 1 to fix the position of the mounting bracket 31. Through the above structure, the round rod 15 can be lowered, increasing the distance between adjacent round rods 15 protruding from the top slope of the base frame 1. This reduces the likelihood of the bottom end of the lead frame being difficult to insert into the groove 16 when drying larger lead frames.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the heating frame 12 is slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 23; a second motor 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 23; a lead screw 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 4; the lead screw 41 and the heating frame 12 are threadedly engaged; during operation, when drying the lead frame, the lead frame will slide down the top slope of the base frame 1, and at the same time, the heat generated by the heating plate 13 will bake the surface of the lead frame. If the heating frame 12 only rises vertically with the connecting plate 23 so that the heating plate 13 is directly above the top slope of the base frame 1, some heat radiation generated at the higher end of the heating plate 13 is easily directed towards the top of the base frame 1. The heat radiation is diffused, and the lower part of the top of the base frame 1 receives less heat radiation, resulting in reduced heat utilization and uneven baking. At this time, the second motor 4 can be started to drive the lead screw 41 to rotate, thereby moving the heating rack 12 under the connecting plate 23. The heating rack 12 is moved to the corresponding position, so that the heating plate 13 can fully and evenly bake the lead frame on the top slope of the base frame 1. Through the above structure, the lateral position of the heating rack 12 can be easily adjusted, so that the adjusted heating plate 13 can fully bake and dry the lead frame on the top slope of the base frame 1.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, both the base frame 1 and the heating frame 12 have marking grooves 5 on their side walls. The marking grooves 5 are set perpendicular to the inclined edges of the base frame 1 and the heating frame 12. Elastic ropes 51 are fixed to the side walls of the base frame 1 and the heating frame 12. During operation, when the positions of the heating frame 12 and the heating plate 13 are adjusted, the elastic ropes 51 will extend and retract synchronously. By observing whether the elastic ropes 51 are parallel to the marking grooves 5, it is easy to determine whether the heating plate 13 is facing the top inclined surface of the base frame 1. When the elastic ropes 51 and the marking grooves 5 are relatively parallel, the projection of the heating plate 13 on the inclined surface of the base frame 1 will not easily exceed the range of the inclined surface of the base frame 1. Thus, the heat generated by the heating plate 13 will fully bake and dry the lead frame on the inclined surface of the base frame 1, improving the convenience of adjusting the position of the heating plate 13.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting bracket 31; multiple bearing rollers 61 are rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod 6; during operation, the middle of the round rod 15 may bend and drop slightly, and this bending will make it difficult for the bottom of the lead frame to be inserted into the groove 16. By setting the connecting rod 6 and the bearing rollers 61, the bearing rollers 61 can support the middle of the round rod 15, making it difficult for the middle of the round rod 15 to bend, thereby reducing the occurrence of the situation where the bottom of the lead frame is difficult to be inserted into the groove 16 due to the bending of the round rod 15.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the slide groove 3 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 7; during operation, when the mounting frame 31 is slid up and the round rod 15 protrudes from the inclined surface of the base frame 1, the limiting plate 7 can be slid to move the limiting plate 7 below the mounting frame 31, thereby using a pair of limiting plates 7 to support the mounting frame 31, so that the positioning bolt 32 can be inserted into the middle of the mounting frame 31 and screwed into the threaded hole in the middle of the base frame 1, thus improving the ease of use of the device.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, multiple rollers 8 are rotatably connected to the top of the base frame 1; the multiple rollers 8 are evenly distributed on the top of the base frame 1; through the above structure, when the lead frame slides on the inclined surface of the base frame 1, the sliding friction between the bottom of the lead frame and the inclined surface of the base frame 1 can be transformed into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear on the surface of the lead frame.
[0033] During operation, the base frame 1 is installed between a pair of lead wire frame conveying mechanisms. The sheet-shaped lead wire frame is conveyed from the higher side of the base frame 1 to the higher position of the base frame 1. Then, the sheet-shaped lead wire frame slides down the inclined surface of the base frame 1. When the bottom end of the lead wire frame slides to a round rod 15, the bottom end of the lead wire frame will smoothly insert into the groove 16. Then, the first motor 14 is started to drive the round rod 15 to rotate, thereby using the groove 16 to drive the lead wire frame to rotate and flip. After the round rod 15 rotates half a turn, the groove 16 carrying the lead wire frame will rotate to the top of the second inclined surface. Then, the flipped lead wire frame will slide down again. During the entire process of the lead wire frame sliding on the base frame 1, it will be flipped multiple times with the cooperation of multiple round rods 15 and heated by the heating plate 1. 3. The surface is heated and dried. The dried lead frame then slides onto the conveyor mechanism on the lower side of the base frame 1. The material properties of the lead frame are a key factor determining the drying temperature. For lead frames made of different materials, the operation of the electric cylinder 22 drives the connecting plate 23 to slide up and down along the middle of multiple guide rods 2, thereby raising or lowering the heating frame 12. When the heating frame 12 rises, the distance between the heating frame 12 and the base frame 1 increases, causing more heat loss when the heat plate 13 reaches the inclined surface on the base frame 1, thus reducing the baking temperature of the lead frame on the base frame 1. Conversely, when the heating frame 12 falls, the distance between the heating frame 12 and the base frame 1 decreases, reducing heat loss from the heating plate 13. To reduce the baking temperature of the lead frame on the base frame 1, multiple mounting brackets 31 are installed in the middle of the base frame 1, and the spacing between multiple sliding grooves 3 is fixed. When the length of the lead frame to be dried is greater than the distance between a pair of round rods 15, the bottom of the lead frame may be difficult to insert into the groove 16. At this time, the positioning bolts 32 in the middle of part of the mounting bracket 31 can be removed, so that the positioning bolts 32 are no longer inserted into the threaded holes in the middle of the base frame 1, so that this part of the mounting bracket 31 is lowered, thereby lowering the corresponding part of the round rods 15 to a position below the top slope of the base frame 1, so that this part of the round rods 15 no longer obstructs the downward movement of the lead frame. When drying a smaller length of lead frame, the mounting bracket 31 is slid up again to allow the round rods 15 to slide down. The mounting bracket 31 protrudes from the inclined surface of the base frame 1, and the positioning bolt 32 passes through the middle of the mounting bracket 31 and is screwed into the threaded hole on the side wall of the base frame 1 to fix the position of the mounting bracket 31. When the lead frame is dried, the lead frame will slide down the top inclined surface of the base frame 1. At the same time, the heat generated by the heating plate 13 will bake the surface of the lead frame. If the heating bracket 12 only rises longitudinally with the connecting plate 23 so that the heating plate 13 is directly above the top inclined surface of the base frame 1, some heat radiation generated by the higher end of the heating plate 13 is easy to diffuse towards the position higher than the top of the base frame 1, while the lower end of the top of the base frame 1 receives less heat radiation, resulting in a decrease in heat utilization and uneven baking. At this time, the second motor 4 can be started to drive the lead screw 41 to rotate.This allows the heating rack 12 to move below the connecting plate 23, positioning it in the appropriate location so that the heating plate 13 can fully and evenly heat the lead frame on the top slope of the base frame 1. When adjusting the positions of the heating rack 12 and the heating plate 13, the elastic cord 51 will extend and retract synchronously. By observing whether the elastic cord 51 is parallel to the marking groove 5, it is easy to determine whether the heating plate 13 is directly facing the top slope of the base frame 1. When the elastic cord 51 and the marking groove 5 are relatively parallel, the projection of the heating plate 13 on the slope of the base frame 1 will not easily exceed the range of the slope, thus ensuring that the heat generated by the heating plate 13 fully heats the base frame. During the baking and drying process of the lead frame on the inclined surface of frame 1, the middle part of the round rod 15 may slightly bend and drop. This bending makes it difficult for the bottom of the lead frame to be inserted into the groove 16. The connecting rod 6 and the bearing roller 61 provide support for the middle part of the round rod 15, preventing bending. When the mounting frame 31 is slid upwards and the round rod 15 protrudes from the inclined surface of the base frame 1, the limiting plate 7 can be slid and moved below the mounting frame 31. This provides support for the mounting frame 31 using a pair of limiting plates 7, facilitating the subsequent insertion of the positioning bolt 32 into the middle of the mounting frame 31 and screwing it into the threaded hole in the middle of the base frame 1.
