Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal conductive material preparation technology, and in particular to a high-temperature brush coating device for liquid metal. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of liquid metal heat conduction, as products are updated and iterated, higher requirements are placed on product quality and production capacity. As a result, more companies are beginning to optimize and improve their production methods and efficiency to match market demand.

[0003] Currently, the methods commonly used in the industry for treating the surface of metal thermal pads have certain limitations. Most companies still use relatively traditional methods, with fixtures mainly consisting of simple utility brushes and bristle brushes. Moreover, this brushing operation relies on manual labor. Operators hold the brush and rely on experience and skill to apply the coating to the metal surface.

[0004] A significant drawback of existing technologies is that it is difficult to ensure a uniform coating when manually applying paint using art brushes or bristle brushes. Due to human factors, the brushing pressure and speed vary considerably among different operators, leading to inconsistent coating thickness and affecting the product's thermal conductivity and overall quality. Furthermore, under prolonged high-temperature working environments, brush bristles are prone to shedding, which can mix into the liquid metal coating, further compromising coating uniformity and potentially contaminating the product, thus reducing its yield. This traditional brushing method is particularly inadequate for finishing complex shapes or internal structures, failing to effectively coat confined spaces and irregularly shaped structures.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "bottom," and "top" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0041] The high-temperature brushing liquid metal equipment provided in this application embodiment, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the system includes a frame 1, a processing platform 2, a horizontal moving unit 3, and a carbon fiber brush assembly 4. The processing platform 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The horizontal moving unit 3 can drive the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 to move along the length extension direction of the processing platform 2, thereby enabling liquid metal coating on the workpiece placed on the processing position 5 of the processing platform 2. This achieves the effect of improving coating efficiency and quality, and ensuring coating uniformity and consistency. This is because the horizontal moving unit 3 can precisely control the movement of the carbon fiber brush assembly 4, making the coating process more stable and accurate.

[0042] Specifically, the frame 1 serves to support the entire equipment. It is generally made of high-strength metal materials, providing good stability and durability. The shape and structure of the frame 1 can be designed according to the actual equipment layout and space requirements; a common type is the frame structure. Anchor bolts can be installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to secure it to the ground and prevent the equipment from shaking during operation.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, a processing station 5 for placing a workpiece to be processed is formed on the processing platform 2. The processing platform 2 includes a heating layer 6, which includes a heating plate 61 and a heater 62. The heater 62 is configured to heat the processing station 5 or the entire processing platform 2. The heating plate 61 can be an aluminum plate or a copper plate, which have good thermal conductivity and can quickly and evenly transfer heat. The heater 62 can be a resistance wire heater 62 or an infrared heater 62, etc. The resistance wire heater 62 generates heat by passing current through a resistance wire, while the infrared heater 62 uses infrared radiation to heat.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, the heating layer 6 further includes a temperature sensor 63 disposed on the heating plate 61. The temperature sensor 63 can monitor the temperature of the heating plate 61 in real time and then transmit the temperature data to the control system. The control system adjusts the temperature of the heater 62 according to the transmitted temperature data to ensure that the temperature is always within a suitable range. At the same time, the control system can also be configured to be interconnected with the horizontal moving unit 3. When the temperature rises to the processable temperature, the horizontal moving unit 3 is automatically controlled to complete the brush coating process.

[0045] In some embodiments, the processing platform 2 further includes a cooling layer 7 disposed in contact with the heating layer 6. The cooling layer 7 can be disposed above or below the heating layer 6. The cooling layer 7 includes a cooling plate 71 and liquid cooling pipes 72 disposed on the cooling plate 71. The cooling layer 7 allows the liquid metal to cool down more quickly, resulting in finer grains and better material properties. The cooling plate 71 can be made of stainless steel or copper alloy and has good heat dissipation performance. The liquid cooling pipes 72 connect a cooling water tank and a circulation pump. The circulation pump circulates the coolant from the cooling water tank to the liquid cooling pipes 72, carrying away excess heat generated by the heating layer 6 and achieving precise temperature control of the processing platform 2. The coolant here can be water.

[0046] In some embodiments, the horizontal moving unit 3 includes a horizontal moving drive 31 and a moving bracket 32. The carbon fiber brush assembly 4 is connected to the moving bracket 32 ​​and is positioned corresponding to the processing position 5. The horizontal moving drive 31 drives the moving bracket 32 ​​to move along the length extension direction of the processing platform 2, thereby moving the carbon fiber brush assembly 4. The horizontal moving drive 31 can be a track, belt, gear, lead screw, cylinder, motor, etc. If a lead screw drive is used, the lead screw is connected to the output shaft of the motor through a coupling. The rotation of the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the nut that cooperates with the lead screw to move the moving bracket 32. If a cylinder drive is used, the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the moving bracket 32, and the extension and retraction of the cylinder causes the moving bracket 32 ​​to move.

[0047] In some embodiments, the movable support 32 includes two support components 321 and a crossbeam 322 connected between the two support components 321. The two support components 321 are tractively connected to the output end of the horizontal movement drive 31, and the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 is connected to the crossbeam 322.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 The support assembly 321 includes a height adjustment component 3211 and a drive component 3212. The drive component 3212 is used to drive the height adjustment component 3211 to extend or retract along the height direction to adjust the height of the crossbeam 322 relative to the processing platform 2. The drive component 3212 can be a cylinder, a motor, or a lead screw, etc., that drives a telescopic rod. For example, a motor can be used to drive a lead screw, and the rotation of the lead screw causes the nut that meshes with it to raise or lower the height adjustment component 3211.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 includes a thermally conductive carbon fiber brush 41, a brush handle 42, and a heating element 43. The heating element 43 is disposed within the brush handle 42, which has at least one flow channel 44 extending from the feed end to the thermally conductive carbon fiber brush 41. It is understood that one or more flow channels 44 can be provided; preferably, multiple flow channels 44 are evenly arranged. Preferably, the flow channels 44 have a small diameter, which facilitates the automatic flow of liquid metal and its even distribution on the carbon fiber brush. The thermally conductive carbon fiber brush 41 has good thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance, enabling it to evenly coat the liquid metal onto the surface of the workpiece. The brush handle 42 can be made of ceramic or high-temperature resistant plastic, providing good heat insulation to prevent burns to the operator. The heating element 43 can be a heating rod or a small resistance wire heater 62, capable of heating the liquid metal within the brush handle 42 to ensure the fluidity of the liquid metal. The flow channel 44 inside the brush handle 42 allows liquid metal to flow out automatically and be evenly distributed on the carbon fiber brush, greatly reducing the labor intensity of manual operation, realizing automatic brushing, and improving work efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, preferably, the heating element 43 is arranged corresponding to the flow channel 44, that is, arranged along its extension direction. This arrangement is conducive to uniformly heating the liquid metal, improving the uniformity and stability of the brush coating, and improving the material properties.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the device further includes a hopper 9 and a flow control valve 10. The hopper 9 is disposed at the feed end of the brush handle 42, and the flow control valve 10 is disposed between the hopper 9 and the flow channel 44. The flow control valve 10 can precisely control the flow rate of the liquid metal to ensure uniform coating thickness. The flow control valve 10 can be an electric flow control valve 10 or a pneumatic flow control valve 10, and the valve opening is adjusted by a control system.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the processing position 5 is a fixed slot 8, which is configured to fix the workpiece to be processed, and the moving range of the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 covers the processing position 5. The shape and size of the fixed slot 8 can be designed according to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed, which can effectively prevent the workpiece to be processed from moving during the brushing process.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the processing platform 2 is provided with multiple negative pressure holes 11. One end of the negative pressure hole 11 is connected to the workpiece to be processed, and the other end of the negative pressure hole 11 is connected to a vacuum pumping unit. The vacuum pumping unit can be a vacuum pump, which uses the negative pressure holes 11 to adsorb the workpiece to be processed onto the processing platform 2, thereby further improving the stability of the workpiece.

[0054] In one embodiment, the high-temperature liquid metal brushing device provided in this application also includes a control system, which is communicatively connected to the horizontal moving unit 3, the carbon fiber brush assembly 4, the cooling layer 7, and the heating layer 6, and controls their operation.

[0055] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The high-temperature liquid metal brushing equipment of this embodiment precisely controls the movement of the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 through the horizontal moving unit 3. Combined with the heating and cooling functions of the processing platform 2 and the precise control of the liquid metal flow rate by the flow control valve 10, the efficiency and quality of brushing are improved, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the brushing. Simultaneously, the workpiece to be processed is fixed by the negative pressure hole 11 and the fixing slot 8, further improving the stability of the brushing process. Compared with traditional manual brushing and brushing with simple mechanical equipment, this equipment greatly reduces labor intensity, improves the accuracy and reliability of brushing, and meets the requirements of modern industry for high-precision, high-quality brushing. (Refer to...) Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support assembly 321 includes height adjusting rods 3213 and adjusting fasteners 3214. The two height adjusting rods 3213 are respectively inserted through both ends of the crossbeam 322 and fixed by the adjusting fasteners 3214. The adjusting fasteners 3214 are configured to be adjustable in position on the height adjusting rods 3213 to adjust the height of the crossbeam 322. The height adjusting rods 3213 are generally threaded rods, and the adjusting fasteners 3214 can be nuts. The height of the crossbeam 322 is adjusted by rotating the nut on the threaded rod. This adjustment method is simple, reliable, and low-cost.

[0056] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the height of the crossbeam 322 is adjusted by the height adjustment rod 3213 and the adjustment fixing part 3214, which can also meet the adjustment requirements of the height of the carbon fiber brush assembly 4 to adapt to the brushing requirements of different workpieces. This structure is simple and easy to operate, reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment, and is also convenient for maintenance and repair, thus improving the practicality and economy of the equipment.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
