Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dispensing equipment technology, and more specifically to a heating sleeve for a dispensing hose. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic packaging, precision assembly, industrial automation, and many other fields, adhesive application is a key connection, sealing, and bonding process, widely used in industrial production processes such as circuit board packaging, LED dispensing, hardware assembly, and automotive component sealing. With the expansion of application areas and the increasing performance requirements, adhesive application systems are demanding higher and higher standards in terms of adhesive flowability, application precision, and dispensing stability.

[0003] In existing adhesive application equipment, especially in structures that use hoses to transport adhesive from a storage device to the application nozzle, the high viscosity of the adhesive during transport, particularly at low temperatures, leads to problems such as uneven dispensing, inconsistent application, and unstable adhesive volume. This phenomenon is especially pronounced in winter environments or workshops with strict temperature control requirements. To improve adhesive dispensing performance, existing technologies mainly focus on the following methods:

[0004] 1. Localized Needle Heating Structure: Existing glue application equipment generally uses heated needles or nozzles, employing elements such as heating wires or ceramic heaters to heat the glue application needle. While this method can improve the flowability of the glue at the needle to some extent, the extremely small heating area cannot regulate the temperature of the glue transported over long distances in the glue tube. Therefore, the problem of poor glue dispensing due to the viscosity of the glue in the tube still exists.

[0005] 2. Adhesive Preheating Storage Tank Structure: Some equipment uses adhesive storage tanks with heating functions, attempting to preheat the adhesive before it is dispensed. However, since the storage tank and the dispensing port are still connected by a hose, heating is limited to the storage stage, leaving the hose exposed and significantly affected by ambient temperature. As the adhesive temperature drops during transport, it can still thicken again or even partially solidify, resulting in unsatisfactory dispensing performance.

[0006] 3. Ambient Heating Chamber: In some high-end dispensing applications, an integrated heating chamber is used to enclose the entire dispensing area or dispensing device, raising the ambient temperature. However, this method is costly, energy-intensive, and structurally complex, making it unsuitable for small, compact dispensing equipment and hindering later maintenance and partial structural replacement.

[0007] In summary, existing heating methods in glue application equipment mainly focus on the needle tip or glue storage end, and a structural solution for effectively heating the glue in the glue tube has not yet been developed. In reality, most of the glue's flow path during the application process is inside the glue tube. Especially under conditions such as using flexible silicone tubing, long-distance delivery, and intermittent glue application, the glue inside the tube is highly susceptible to temperature fluctuations due to ambient temperature, resulting in unstable glue dispensing or even blockage.

[0008] In addition, because the heating area and the hose are not an integrated structure in the existing equipment, the maintenance process is cumbersome. When replacing glue or hose, it is often necessary to remove the heating device, reposition the heating position, and calibrate the needle, which seriously affects the glue application efficiency and ease of operation.

[0009] Therefore, the market urgently needs a heating structure that can directly heat the glue in the hose, while also being compact, securely connected, easy to install, and highly detachable, in order to achieve stable and reliable glue dispensing control, simple daily maintenance, and broad industrial applicability. Utility Model Content

[0010] This utility model relates to a heating sleeve for a glue hose, aiming to provide a device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can effectively improve the flowability and application stability of glue. Specifically, this invention designs a heating sleeve that can heat the glue in the glue hose, thereby solving the problems of poor flowability and unstable application caused by high glue viscosity or low ambient temperature during the existing glue application process.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hose heating sleeve, comprising:

[0012] Temperature controller, used to regulate the operating temperature of the heater;

[0013] The heating cylinder consists of a three-layer structure: an inner layer of silicone heater; a middle layer of heat insulation cotton; and an outer layer of stainless steel frame.

[0014] The mounting bracket, installed at the lower end of the heating cylinder, includes: a mounting groove for fixing the heating cylinder; a threaded fixing hole for fixing the mounting bracket to the fixing plate with screws; a needle bayonet for connecting the dispensing needle; and a tube holder for fixing the dispensing tube.

[0015] A mounting plate for connecting to a dispensing machine via its mounting holes.

[0016] Preferably, the card holder is connected to the fixing plate through a threaded fixing hole.

[0017] Preferably, the heating cylinder is securely connected to the mounting bracket via a slot.

[0018] Preferably, the hose is connected to the hose seat by a threaded fixing method.

[0019] Preferably, the fixing plate is connected to the dispensing machine through mounting holes.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] (1) Improve the fluidity of the glue: By heating the glue in the glue tube, the fluidity of the glue can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the glue application process.

[0022] (2) Reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations: Due to the constant temperature function of the heating device, the influence of external ambient temperature changes on the flowability of the adhesive can be reduced, making the adhesive application process more precise and stable.

[0023] (3) Simplified maintenance and replacement: The design of the heating sleeve makes it easier to replace the hose. Only the hose needs to be replaced, without disassembling the heating cylinder or adjusting the glue application needle, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0024] (4) Strong adaptability: This device is suitable for different types of dispensing machines and adhesives, and has strong versatility, which can meet different adhesive application needs.

[0025] (5) Temperature control accuracy: The temperature controller can accurately adjust the working state of the heater to ensure that the glue is heated within the set temperature range, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of glue application. Attached Figure Description

The middle layer is heat insulation cotton 3, which effectively prevents heat loss and ensures heating efficiency. The outer layer is a stainless steel frame 2, which ensures that the heating cylinder has sufficient strength and corrosion resistance.

[0037] Card holder 5: The card holder is used to fix the heating cylinder and connect the hose. The card holder includes a slot 501, through which the heating cylinder is securely installed. The threaded fixing hole 502 of the card holder connects the card holder to the fixing plate 6 with screws to ensure the stability of the heating device.

[0038] 504 Hose holder: The hose holder is used to install hose 8. The hose is fixed to the hose holder by a threaded connection to ensure that the hose will not loosen or fall off during the heating process.

[0039] Fixing plate 6: The fixing plate is used to fix the card holder and heating cylinder to the dispensing machine 7. The fixing plate is connected to the dispensing machine through the mounting holes on it, ensuring that the entire heating device will not shift during the dispensing process.

[0040] Temperature Controller 1: The temperature controller is connected to the silicone heater via a wire and adjusts the heater's operating temperature in real time. Users can set the required temperature range according to the viscosity of the adhesive and the application requirements.

[0041] 2. Installation process:

[0042] Insert the heating cylinder 2 into the card holder 5 through the card slot 501 to ensure that the heating cylinder is securely installed on the card holder.

[0043] The bracket 5 and the fixing plate 6 are connected by bolts through the threaded fixing hole 502 to ensure that the entire heating device is firmly fixed.
