Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a silicone bucket with a connector filter structure and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when applying adhesive to electronic paper, the glue dispensing needle often becomes clogged or obstructed due to residual or dried glue in the glue tubing. Long-term accumulation of dried glue in the tubing causes blockages, making it difficult to clear the blockage. In some cases, the entire glue tubing may need to be replaced, affecting the use of the dispensing equipment. This requires a significant amount of manpower for replacing, repairing, and adjusting the glue tubing, causing problems for the dispensing process.

[0003] Currently, dispensing machines commonly use a direct connection between the glue container and the silicone connector for the glue container. Because a small amount of residual glue remains in the container, and this direct connection between the glue container and the connector over a long period can cause the glue to settle and dry, leading to blockages in the glue tubing and dispensing needle. Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: To provide a silicone barrel with a connector filter structure and its application, so as to at least solve one of the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Technical solution: A connector filter structure, comprising:

[0006] First connector;

[0007] A locking component is connected to the glue inlet end of the first connector; and

[0008] A filter element is disposed within the locking element and is positioned against the glue inlet end of the first connector;

[0009] The filter element is pre-installed between the first connector and the locking element to filter residual glue and dry glue in the adhesive.

[0010] Preferably, the first connector includes a flange, with a glue supply part and a connecting part respectively provided at both ends of the flange, and the glue supply part having a first threaded part along its axial direction and near the glue inlet end.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure locking member has a second threaded portion along its axial direction, and the second threaded portion is threadedly connected to the first threaded portion.

[0012] Preferably, the length of the first threaded portion is at least greater than the length of the second threaded portion.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the pressure locking member is symmetrically provided with a ground portion along its axial direction.

[0014] Preferably, the locking member has a through hole that is concentric with it.

[0015] Preferably, a second connector is fitted onto the first connector on the side near the locking member;

[0016] The second connector is stepped.

[0017] Preferably, the first connector is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes evenly distributed along its circumference, and the second connector is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes evenly distributed along its circumference.

[0018] The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are connected by a connector.

[0019] Preferably, the second connector has a third threaded portion along its axial direction.

[0020] To achieve the above objectives, according to another aspect of this application, a silicone bucket is also provided.

[0021] The silicone bucket according to this application includes the aforementioned connector filter structure.

[0022] Beneficial effects: In this embodiment, by adding a filter element, which is pre-installed between the first connector and the locking element, residual glue and dry glue in the glue are filtered out. This achieves the purpose of preventing residual glue and dry glue in the silicone bucket from flowing into the glue pipeline, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and increasing equipment lifespan. Furthermore, it solves the technical problem that currently used glue dispensing machines commonly use glue bucket adapters and silicone connectors for direct connection installation. Because there is a small amount of residual glue in the glue bucket, and the glue bucket adapter and glue bucket connector are directly connected for a long time, the glue is prone to sedimentation and drying, which causes blockage of the glue pipeline and dispensing needle.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," "linking," and "socketing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this application relates to a connector filter structure and its application in a silicone barrel. Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the connector filter structure includes: a first connector 10; the first connector 10 serves as the main structure of the glue flow channel, responsible for conveying the filtered glue to downstream equipment, such as nozzles, pipes, etc.

[0040] The pressure locking member 20 is connected to the glue inlet end of the first connector 10; the pressure locking member 20 is connected to the glue inlet end of the first connector 10, which serves to fix and seal, and at the same time provides installation space for the filter element 30.

[0041] Preferably, the locking element 20 is a hollow cylinder, which can achieve a good fitting effect.

[0042] Preferably, the locking member 20 and the first connector 10 adopt, but are not limited to: a detachable structure (such as threaded tightening) to facilitate quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance; and an internal cavity adapted to the shape of the filter element 30 to ensure a secure fit of the filter element 30.

[0043] The filter element 30 is disposed within the pressure-locking member 20 and abuts against the glue inlet end of the first connector 10; the filter element 30 directly intercepts residual glue (incompletely cured glue) and dry glue (cured particles) in the glue, preventing impurities from entering the subsequent system. The filter element 30 can be a filter screen.

[0044] It is important to know that the filter element 30 is made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant metal mesh or porous ceramic to adapt to different adhesive properties (such as epoxy resin, UV adhesive, etc.); pore size: optimized according to adhesive viscosity and impurity size to balance filtration efficiency and flow requirements; preset position: closely attached to the glue inlet end of the first connector 10 to ensure that all adhesives are filtered and there is no risk of bypass.

[0045] The filter element 30 is pre-positioned between the first connector 10 and the locking element 20 to filter residual glue and dry glue in the glue.

[0046] Specifically, the adhesive enters the inlet of the pressure-locking component 20 from the external pipeline. When it flows through the filter element 30, residual adhesive, dry adhesive and foreign matter are trapped on the surface of the filter screen. The cleaning adhesive enters the interior of the first connector 10 after passing through the filter element 30 and is transported to the downstream application end.

[0047] By using the filtration device of this application, the current method of requiring daily replacement of the glue tubing and dispensing needle can be changed to a method that eliminates the need for daily replacement of the glue tubing and dispensing needle. The device directly filters and intercepts residual and dry glue in the silicone, maintaining the glue flow at its optimal smoothness. This fundamentally solves the problem of poor dispensing caused by glue tubing blockage over time, thereby directly improving the overall production yield. It also eliminates the need for debugging time by replacing glue tubing and dispensing needles, greatly improving efficiency and dispensing yield, reducing costs, and saving manpower.

[0048] This application also has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] 1. Improve adhesive coating quality: Impurities in the adhesive can lead to uneven dispensing, clogging, stringing, and air bubbles. The filter element 30 significantly improves adhesive purity, ensuring uniform and consistent dispensing.

[0050] 2. Prevents clogging: Dry glue and residual glue can easily accumulate in the valve body or nozzle, causing blockages or valve malfunctions. This structure can intercept impurities at the source, extending the service life of downstream components (such as needles, pipes, and nozzles).

[0051] 3. Low maintenance cost; the filter element is easy to replace or clean, avoiding frequent cleaning of complex components; reducing equipment downtime caused by clogging and improving production efficiency.

[0052] 4. The structure is compact and easy to integrate. The filtration function is integrated into the connector, eliminating the need for additional external filtration devices, which facilitates installation and wiring. The compact structural design is also advantageous for use in space-constrained automated equipment.

[0053] 5. The filtration device can effectively filter and intercept residual glue and dry glue in the silicone barrel, thereby greatly reducing the debugging time for manually changing glue lines and dispensing needles, effectively improving the production efficiency and quality of automatic dispensing equipment, and reducing labor costs.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, this application achieves the following technical effects:

[0055] In this embodiment, a filter element 30 is added. By pre-setting the filter element 30 between the first connector 10 and the locking element 20, residual glue and dry glue in the glue are filtered out. This achieves the purpose of preventing residual glue and dry glue in the silicone bucket from flowing into the glue pipeline, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and increasing equipment lifespan. It also solves the technical problem that currently used glue dispensing machines commonly use glue bucket adapters and silicone connectors for direct connection installation. Because there is a small amount of residual glue in the glue bucket, and the glue bucket adapter and glue bucket connector are directly connected for a long time, the glue is prone to sedimentation and drying, which causes blockage of the glue pipeline and dispensing needle.

[0056] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the first joint 10 includes a flange 101, with a glue supply portion 102 and a connecting portion 103 respectively provided at both ends of the flange 101. The glue supply portion 102 has a first threaded portion 104 along its axial direction and near the glue inlet end. It can be understood that the flange 101 is a protruding structure used to strengthen the overall strength of the joint, provide alignment reference, and facilitate subsequent connection; it enables greater structural stability, is beneficial for pressure resistance and leak prevention; at the same time, it facilitates sealing connection with pipes or valve flanges, enhancing compatibility.

[0057] The first threaded portion 104 is an external threaded structure that enables the threaded connection between the first connector 10 and the locking member 20; it provides a stable and reliable mechanical connection, ensures sealing, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0058] Furthermore, the locking member 20 has a second threaded portion 201 arranged along its axial direction, and the second threaded portion 201 is threadedly connected to the first threaded portion 104. It can be understood that this achieves a good threaded connection effect.

[0059] Furthermore, the length of the first threaded portion 104 is at least greater than the length of the second threaded portion 201. This allows for sufficient thread engagement, enabling adjustment of the connection depth to suit different installation scenarios, while the preload prevents loosening due to vibration.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer surface of the locking member 20 is symmetrically provided with a ground portion 202 along its axial direction. It can be understood that the axially symmetrical planar structure (ground portion 202) of the outer surface of the locking member 20 facilitates clamping and rotation with tools such as wrenches, thereby achieving the effect of easy disassembly and assembly, and thus tightening and reinforcing the connection with the rubber bucket adapter connector.

[0061] Furthermore, the pressure-locking member 20 has a through hole 203 centered thereon. It can be understood that the through hole 203 in the center of the pressure-locking member 20 is a channel for glue flow, corresponding to the position of the filter element 30, and the diameter of the through hole 203 matches the inner diameter of the filter element 30 to reduce flow resistance.

[0062] Furthermore, a second connector 40 is fitted onto the first connector 10 near the side of the locking member 20;

[0063] The second connector 40 is stepped. It can be understood that the stepped second connector 40 is sleeved on the side of the first connector 10 near the locking member 20, forming a multi-level connection structure.

[0064] Furthermore, the first connector 10 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 105 evenly along its circumference, and the second connector 40 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 401 evenly along its circumference.

[0065] The first connecting hole 105 and the second connecting hole 401 are connected by a connector. This ensures a good connection between the first connector 10 and the second connector 40, thereby facilitating assembly.

[0066] It's important to know that bolts can be used as connectors. This allows for easy implementation and convenient operation.

[0067] The first connecting holes 105 and the second connecting holes 401, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the first connector 10 and the second connector 40, are fixed together by bolts, pins and other connecting parts; the load is evenly distributed and the multi-hole connection disperses the stress, avoiding deformation or leakage caused by single-point stress.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, the second connector 40 has a third threaded portion 402 arranged along its axial direction. It can be understood that this facilitates threaded connection with other components, thereby enabling easy assembly and disassembly.

[0069] Furthermore, two limiting parts are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the pressure locking member 20 near the through hole 203, and two notches are symmetrically opened on the filter member 30 near its edge, with the opening width of the notches being greater than the width of the limiting parts. This ensures a good assembly effect for the filter member 30, while also achieving a good limiting and fixing effect.

[0070] This application also relates to a silicone bucket, including the aforementioned connector filter structure.

[0071] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
