Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of varistor spraying technology, and in particular to an automatic coating device for varistors. Background Technology
[0002] A varistor is an electronic component with nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. Its main components are metal oxides such as zinc oxide. Its resistance changes significantly with the applied voltage. When an overvoltage occurs in the circuit, it can quickly conduct and shunt current to protect the equipment. The coating process is a crucial step in applying an insulating protective layer (such as epoxy resin or silicone) to its surface. This aims to isolate it from moisture, dust, and chemical corrosion in the environment, preventing moisture absorption that could lead to performance degradation or increased leakage current. It also enhances mechanical strength to avoid physical damage during transportation and use. The coating layer also improves surface insulation, ensuring no arcing occurs under high voltage, and maintains stable voltage response characteristics through uniform coating thickness.
[0003] In existing technologies, varistor coating mainly relies on manual operation. Operators need to hold the resistors one by one and dip or brush them to coat them. Only one component can be processed at a time, resulting in low production efficiency (less than 1,000 pieces per person per day). Furthermore, manual operation is prone to uneven coating thickness, causing fluctuations in insulation performance or local defects. At the same time, excessive sprayed liquid is directly discarded during the coating process, resulting in a material utilization rate of less than 40%. High-value functional coatings are wasted in a serious manner, which leads to increased production costs, poor quality stability, and low resource sustainability. Utility Model Content

When the delivery pump 9 is started, the coating liquid inside the liquid storage tank 8 is delivered to the liquid storage plate 12 through the delivery pipe 10 and sprayed downward through the nozzles 11 to complete the coating operation on the varistor. The liquid storage plate 12 and the nozzles 11 are configured to cooperate with the rotating ring 13 below.
