[0030] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a gel processing device, including a first body 100, which has a first placement groove 110 and a PCB board fixing device for fixing the PCB board; a second body 200 connected to the first body 100, which has a gel processing module 210 located above the PCB board fixing device; the gel processing module 210 includes a drive unit, a turntable 230, and a scraper 240; a first groove 241 is provided on one side of the scraper 240; the drive unit is connected to the turntable 230 and drives the turntable 230 to rotate; the turntable 230 is used to place gel, and the scraper 240 is used to move the gel; and a dispensing device 300 located above the turntable 230.
[0034] It should be noted that when performing gel processing on the PCB board, the PCB board is placed on the PCB board fixing device and fixed in place. The gel is placed on the turntable 230, and the drive module is activated to rotate the turntable 230. Since the scraper 240 is located on the upper part of the turntable 230, the gel on the turntable 230 is continuously stirred under the action of the first groove 241 of the scraper 240 when the turntable 230 rotates. The continuous stirring of the gel by the scraper 240 breaks the binding force between gel molecules, so that the gel always remains in a flowing state, thereby reducing the gel solidification speed.
[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the gel is a conductive silver paste, which is mainly composed of granular silver powder and liquid epoxy. In order to avoid the silver powder settling and causing changes in the mixing ratio of the conductive silver paste, the diameter of the turntable 230 is reduced. Under the action of the first groove 241 of the scraper 240, not only is the height of the colloid placed on the turntable 230 consistent, but the conductive silver paste in the turntable 230 is also continuously mixed and stirred to ensure that the silver powder inside the conductive silver paste does not settle, so as to keep the viscosity and conductivity of the conductive silver paste consistent.
[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that the PCB board fixing device in this embodiment is a metal frame.
[0037] Reference Figure 4 The drive unit includes a first drive motor 221, a second drive device 222, a first connector 223, and a first rotating shaft 224. The first drive part 225 of the first drive motor 221 is connected to the second drive part 226 of the second drive motor through the first connector 223. One end of the first rotating shaft 224 is connected to the second drive part 226, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 224 is connected to the turntable 230. The second drive device 222 is connected to the scraper 240.
[0038] It should be noted that the first drive motor 221 is the main power source of the drive unit, providing rotational power for the entire drive unit. The first drive part 225 is connected to the second drive part 226 of the second drive motor through the first connector 223, thereby realizing the transmission of power of the drive unit. The second drive device 222 receives the power of the first drive motor 221 and transmits the power to the turntable 230 through the first rotating shaft 224, so that the turntable 230 rotates at a preset speed and direction, and stirs the gel on the turntable 230 through the scraper 240.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7The surface of the first driving part 225 is provided with a plurality of first driving teeth 2251, the surface of the second driving part 226 is provided with a plurality of second driving teeth, and the inner side of the second connecting member 320 is provided with a plurality of third driving teeth 2231, which mesh with the first driving teeth 2251 and the second driving teeth.
[0040] It should be noted that a stable power transmission chain is formed through the meshing of the third drive tooth 2231 with the first drive tooth 2251 and the second drive tooth (not shown in the figure). This meshing method ensures a smooth and continuous power transmission from the first drive unit 225 to the second drive unit 226, avoiding fluctuations and losses during power transmission. By adjusting the speed and direction of the first drive motor 221, the speed and direction of the second drive unit 226 can be precisely controlled. This precise control capability allows the device to adapt to different gel processing requirements, achieving precise gel stirring and coating effects.
[0041] Furthermore, since gear transmission has the characteristic of simple structure, this embodiment simplifies the structure of the drive unit by meshing the first drive tooth 2251, the second drive tooth and the third drive tooth 2231, thereby reducing the number and complexity of parts, and thus reducing production costs and maintenance difficulty.
[0042] Reference Figure 4 The second drive unit 222 is also provided with a first fixing member 2221, a second fixing member 2222 and a third fixing member 2223. The first fixing member 2221 is located at the lower part of the first drive unit. The side of the first fixing member 2221 near the second fixing member 2222 is connected to one side of the second fixing member 2222, and the other side of the second fixing member 2222 is connected to the third fixing member 2223. The third fixing member 2223 is provided with a first through hole 2224, and the first rotating shaft 224 passes through the first through hole 2224. A first adjustment unit 250 is provided on the lower side of the third fixing member 2223, and the third fixing member 2223 is connected to the scraper 240 through the first adjustment unit 250.
[0043] It should be noted that the first fixing member 2221, the second fixing member 2222, and the third fixing member 2223 form a stable support structure. This structure can effectively enhance the stability and rigidity of the second drive device 222 and even the entire gel processing device, reducing vibration and deformation when the turntable 230 rotates or when the device is subjected to external impact.
[0044] The third fixing member 2223 is connected to the scraper 240 via the first adjustment unit 250, allowing operators to precisely adjust the position and angle of the scraper 240. Precise adjustment of the scraper 240's position and angle optimizes the gel mixing effect, preventing the gel from solidifying due to prolonged placement during PCB board gluing operations. The first fixing member 2221 is positioned between the first drive motor 221 and the first drive unit 225, and its connection with the second fixing member 2222 and the third fixing member 2223 forms a structure that is easy to install and maintain. When the scraper 240 needs replacement or repair, it can be disassembled and installed via the first adjustment unit 250 without disassembling the entire drive unit, thus improving equipment maintenance efficiency and convenience.
[0045] Reference Figure 6 Furthermore, the third fixing member 2223 is provided with a first through hole 2224, through which the first rotating shaft 224 passes, ensuring a precise fit between the first rotating shaft 224 and the third fixing member 2223 and reducing friction and energy loss during transmission. Simultaneously, the design of the first through hole 2224 allows for fine-tuning of the position of the first rotating shaft 224 to further improve transmission accuracy and efficiency. By adjusting the first adjusting unit 250, the distance and angle between the scraper 240 and the turntable 230 can be flexibly changed to adapt to the processing requirements of different gels. This adaptability enables the gel processing device to handle a wider variety of gel materials, thereby expanding the application range of the equipment.
[0046] Reference Figure 8 The turntable 230 is provided with a placement part 321, a first protrusion 232 and a second protrusion 233. The first protrusion 232 is located in the middle of the placement part 321 and the second protrusion 233 is located around the periphery of the placement part 321. The outer side of the placement part 321, the outer side of the first protrusion 232 and the inner side of the second protrusion 233 form a gel stirring channel.
[0047] It should be noted that the placement part 321, the outer side of the first protrusion 232, and the inner side of the second protrusion 233 together form a gel stirring channel. When the gel flows in the channel, it is blocked and guided by the protrusions and flows continuously under the action of the first groove 241. The design of the first groove 241 further enhances the flow effect of the gel in the channel. The groove can guide the gel to flow along a specific path, ensuring that the gel can cover the entire channel area. Through the combined action of the protrusions and the groove, the gel can form a continuous flow in the channel, avoiding stagnation or accumulation of the gel during the flow process, and ensuring the full distribution and utilization of the gel.
[0048] Reference Figure 3The dispensing device 300 includes a needle 310, a second connector 320, and a fourth fixing member 330. One end of the second connector 320 is provided with a second through hole 321, and the other end of the second connector 320 is provided with a third through hole 322. The needle 310 passes through the second through hole 321, and the fourth fixing member 330 passes through the third through hole 322 and is connected to the second platform 200.
[0049] It should be noted that the second connector 320 achieves a stable connection with the needle 310 and the fourth fixing member 330 through the second through holes 321 and the third through holes 322 at both ends, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the dispensing device 300 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the needle 310 during the dispensing process. Furthermore, the needle 310 is connected to the second connector 320 through the third through hole 322, enabling the dispensing device 300 to adapt to different working environments and dispensing requirements. For example, by replacing the needle 310 with different specifications and adjusting the position of the second connector 320, PCB board dispensing operations with different precision and flow rates can be achieved.
[0050] Reference Figure 9 The first adjustment unit 250 includes a first fixed support column 251 and a third connector 252. A fourth through hole 253 is provided on one side of the third connector 252, through which the first fixed support column 251 passes. The other side of the third connector 252 is connected to the scraper 240.
[0051] It should be noted that, through the first adjustment unit 250, the operator can flexibly adjust the relative position between the first fixed support 251 and the third connecting member 252, thereby changing the working position and angle of the scraper 240. This allows the dispensing device 300 to adapt to different working environments and dispensing needs, and to adjust the gel output, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device. The first fixed support 251 passes through the fourth through hole 253 on the third connecting member 252, providing stable support and positioning for the scraper 240. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the scraper 240 during operation, reducing the occurrence of gel overflow from the turntable 230 due to scraper 240 positional deviation.
[0052] Reference Figure 1The lower part of the first body 100 is provided with multiple support legs 120. It should be noted that the multiple support legs 120 increase the contact area between the first body 100 and the ground, thereby lowering the center of gravity, improving the overall stability of the gel processing device, preventing tilting or swaying caused by vibration or external forces, and ensuring the smooth operation of the PCB board gel processing. Furthermore, by increasing the number of support legs 120, the weight borne by the first body 100 can be distributed, improving the device's load-bearing capacity and ensuring its stability and safety during long-term use. In this embodiment, the height of the support legs 120 is adjustable, allowing the first body 100 to be adjusted according to different working environments and needs. For example, on uneven ground, the height of the support legs 120 can be adjusted to keep the first body 100 level, ensuring processing accuracy. In addition, the support legs 120 facilitate the installation and disassembly of the device, making it convenient for movement and maintenance.
