Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing tackle, and in particular to a solid float production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A float, often used to refer to a fishing float, is a crucial signal transmission device in fishing activities. Its core function is to reflect the changes in the state of the bait at the hook and the position of the fishing rig in the water in real time and accurately. The tip of the float is the main part that anglers directly observe, and its clarity, sensitivity, and visibility in the water directly determine whether anglers can capture fish bites in a timely and accurate manner.

[0003] In existing technology, the float tip consists of a tip tube and a light source assembly. The light source assembly is installed inside the hollow tip tube, and there is a gap between the inner wall of the tip tube and the light source assembly. Therefore, in actual use, the following situations often occur: when casting hard or encountering obstacles, the slender and thin-walled tip is easily bent or even broken due to the instantaneous impact; when the hook is snagged on the bottom or a large fish suddenly exerts force, the huge pulling force is transmitted to the tip through the main line, causing the fragile tip to break under the weight; when the tip shakes in the water, the internal light source assembly and the tip tube will also collide continuously, causing the light source to fail, thus shortening the lifespan of the float.

[0004] One solution to this technical problem is to inject glue between the marker tube and the light source assembly to form a solid marker. However, the inner diameter of existing marker tubes is extremely small (usually around 0.5mm), making manual glue injection almost impossible. Currently, there is no matching production equipment on the market to perform glue injection on marker tubes, which greatly limits the research and development and production of solid markers.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A solid buoy electronic buoy includes a foot 10, a body 20, and a solid buoy 30, which are sequentially and detachably connected. The body 20 houses a control component 40. The solid buoy 30 includes a buoy tube 31 and a light source component 32 passing through the buoy tube 31. The control component 40 and the light source component 32 are electrically connected, and the control component 40 controls the illumination of the light source component 32, thereby enabling the electronic buoy to emit light.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gap between the light source assembly 32 and the marker tube 31 is filled with adhesive. After the adhesive cures, it forms an adhesive layer 50, thus making the marker tube 31, the light source assembly 32, and the adhesive layer 50 together constitute a solid marker 30. The solid marker 30 has higher structural strength, stronger toughness, and better sealing performance, effectively overcoming many problems existing in the hollow markers.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the light source component 32 is preferably a linear FPC circuit board, which is a flexible printed circuit board with several LED beads soldered on its surface as light-emitting elements. This is a mature existing technology. Preferably, the outer diameter of the tail tube 31 is between 1.0 and 2.5 mm, the inner diameter is 0.5 mm, and the diameter of the linear FPC circuit board is 0.45 mm. Therefore, the linear FPC circuit board can easily penetrate into the tail tube 31. After the adhesive cures, the linear FPC circuit board is completely cured inside the tail tube 31, and the LED beads are firmly embedded in the adhesive layer 50. Therefore, even if the tail tube 31 is impacted by external force, it will not fall off the linear FPC circuit board, making the circuit structure more stable and reliable.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The control component 40 includes a battery 41 and a control circuit, preferably a PCB circuit board 42. The PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board are connected by soldering, and the connection between the two (i.e., around the solder joint 43) is also filled with glue. Therefore, it can avoid the phenomenon of poor circuit contact caused by the tail tube 31 being desoldered when it is impacted by external force, and effectively overcome the problem of flexible board tearing and deoxidation at the connection between flexible and rigid circuit boards.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The gap between the end of the marker tube 31 and the light source assembly 32 is filled with sealing powder. This sealing powder can quickly solidify under the action of the adhesive, forming a sealing powder layer 60. This seals the end of the marker tube 31, preventing any remaining adhesive inside the marker tube 31 from flowing out before curing and affecting the potting effect. It also helps to further improve the sealing performance of the marker tube 31 and prevent water ingress damage. To avoid the sealing powder layer 60 affecting the light transmission effect at the end of the marker tube 31, the height of the sealing powder should be controlled below 1 mm.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The adhesive is preferably a cyanoacrylate adhesive, but is not limited to this type. It should have strong fluidity before curing, a certain strength and toughness after curing, and be transparent. The sealing powder is preferably talc or putty powder, but is not limited to these two powders. It should be a powder that can quickly solidify under the action of the adhesive without adversely affecting the properties of the adhesive.

[0034] Compared to the hollow marker tails in the prior art, the solid marker tails provided in this embodiment have the following advantages:

[0035] 1. Higher structural strength: After a comparative hammering test, it was found that the solid 30 caliper can withstand significantly more hammering times than the hollow caliper, and the impact resistance of the solid 30 caliper is also significantly higher than that of the hollow caliper.

[0036] 2. Stronger toughness: After bending comparison test, it was found that the solid mark tail 30 can withstand a significantly more bending times than the hollow mark tail, and the bending angle (curvature) of the solid mark tail 30 is also significantly higher than that of the hollow mark tail.

[0037] 3. Better sealing performance: With the combined action of the adhesive layer 50 and the sealing powder, the solid label tail 30 has a double-layer sealing effect, which can effectively prevent water ingress.

[0038] 4. More stable circuit structure: The LED beads of the solid tail tube 30 are firmly embedded in the adhesive layer 50, so that the tail tube will not fall off the linear FPC circuit board even if it is hit by external force; the solder joint 43 between the PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board is also embedded in the adhesive layer 50, so as to avoid the phenomenon of poor circuit contact caused by the tail tube 31 being hit by external force and thus effectively overcome the problem of flexible board tearing and deoxidation at the connection of flexible and rigid circuit boards.

[0039] 5. Enhanced scalability: Testing revealed that if the solid label tail 30 breaks, the end of the linear FPC circuit board will also break along with the adhesive layer 50. The luminous and sealing performance of the unbroken portion will not be affected, allowing continued use. Therefore, in principle, the broken portion can be broken off and reused. In some applications, the label tail end can also be actively broken off to flexibly adjust its length.

[0040] To facilitate the production of solid marker tails more easily by those skilled in the art, this embodiment provides a solid marker tail production equipment and a detailed method for producing solid marker tails based on the equipment.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The production equipment includes an operating table 100, a vacuum pump 200, and a standard tube 31 with an internal light source assembly 32. The operating table 100 has a linear slide 110 and an adhesive tank 120. The standard tube 31 is detachably mounted on the slide base 111 of the linear slide 110, and the head end of the standard tube 31 is connected to the vacuum pump 200 via a connecting assembly 300. The tail end of the standard tube 31 faces the adhesive tank 120. During operation, the linear slide 110 controls the tail end of the standard tube 31 to move into the adhesive tank 120, and the vacuum pump 200 draws a measured amount of adhesive into the standard tube 31, thereby realizing the glue dispensing operation.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The operating table 100 includes a tabletop 101 and a column 102. The column 102 is vertically fixed on the tabletop 101. A linear slide 110 is disposed on the side wall of the column 102. A glue tank 120 is disposed on the tabletop 101 and located directly below the linear slide 110. In practical applications, the linear slide 110 can be selected as an electric slide or a manual slide according to actual needs. This embodiment preferably uses a manual slide. During operation, the slide 111 can be raised and lowered by cranking the handle 112, thereby controlling the end of the tail tube 31 to extend into or leave the glue tank 120. The operation is simple and flexible. The structure and working principle of the manual slide are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Reference Figures 4 to 7 The connecting assembly 300 includes a suction pipe 310, a connector 320, and a connecting cylinder 330 connected in sequence. The suction pipe 310 is connected to the suction pump 200, and the connecting cylinder 330 is connected to the tail pipe 31. Specifically, one end of the connector 320 has a first connecting portion 321 with a tapered boss, and the other end of the connector 320 has a second connecting portion 322 with a sealing ring. The suction pipe 310 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting portion 321, and the connecting cylinder 330 is sleeved on the outside of the second connecting portion 322. This design not only facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the connecting assembly 300 but also ensures sealing performance, thereby guaranteeing the potting effect. In this embodiment, an annular boss 33 is provided at the flared end of the tail pipe 31. A sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the annular boss 33, and it has external threads, thereby facilitating a sealed connection with the connecting cylinder 330 or the label body 20. The connection between the PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board is located inside the flared end of the tail tube 31, so the glue should be applied to that location.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The slide block 111 is provided with a fixing block 113, and the side wall of the fixing block 113 is provided with a through groove, in which the connecting component 300 is engaged. Specifically, the assembled connector 320 and the suction pipe 310 are engaged in the through groove, and the second connecting part 322 of the connector 320 extends to the bottom of the through groove. During installation, the connecting sleeve 330 is first installed at the head end of the tail, and then the connecting sleeve 330 is inserted into the second connecting part 322 to complete the docking of the tail pipe 31 and the suction pump 200, making the operation more convenient.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 The table 101 is provided with a powder tank 130 for holding the sealing powder. After the glue pouring operation is completed, the end of the label tube 31 is inserted into the powder tank 130 to dip in an appropriate amount of sealing powder, so that the sealing powder and glue can quickly solidify, thereby sealing the label tube 31 and preventing the glue from leaking out before curing.

[0046] Reference Figure 4The operating table 100 is equipped with a lighting lamp 140. The installation angle of the lighting lamp 140 can be adjusted arbitrarily to provide lighting for the staff so as to observe the glue filling status in the tail tube 31 in real time.

[0047] Reference Figure 6 The production equipment also includes a drying rack 400, along which are arranged several rows of adhesive sections 410. Several standard tail tubes 31 are attached side-by-side with their ends facing down to the adhesive sections 410, awaiting adhesive curing. Using adhesive not only facilitates placement and storage but also allows for easy observation of the adhesive's curing status, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 The vacuum pump 200 is preferably a commercially available diaphragm pump. This embodiment also includes a control box 500 for the diaphragm pump. The control box 500 contains an electronic relay, a negative pressure solenoid valve 510, and a foot switch 520. During operation, the foot switch 520 controls the negative pressure solenoid valve 510 to close, starting the diaphragm pump. The diaphragm pump draws air into the tail tube 31, creating a negative pressure within the tail tube 31, thereby drawing the adhesive into the tube. When the set working time is reached, the control box 500 automatically controls the negative pressure solenoid valve 510 to open according to the set program, stopping the diaphragm pump and thus stopping the adhesive dispensing. After dispensing stops, the negative pressure in the tail tube 31 disappears, and it can be easily disconnected from the connector 320. In practical applications, a diaphragm pump with an integrated control box 500 or other types of vacuum pumps 200 can also be used.

[0049] Reference Figures 2 to 7 The following describes the manufacturing method of solid marker tails based on this production equipment. The manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0050] S1. Install the light source assembly 32 into the tail tube 31 to complete the initial assembly. Specifically, the PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board have been soldered together. Therefore, this step actually involves simultaneously installing the PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board into the tail tube 31, and the connection between the PCB circuit board 42 and the linear FPC circuit board is located inside the flared end of the tail tube 31.

[0051] S2. The tail tube 31 is mounted on the slide block 111 of the linear slide table 110 via the connecting assembly 300, so that the tail tube 31 is connected to the vacuum pump 200. Specifically, the assembled connector 320 and vacuum tube 310 are clamped in the through groove of the fixing block 113, and the second connecting part 322 of the connector 320 extends to the bottom of the through groove. Then, the connecting cylinder 330 is installed on the head end of the tail tube, and the connecting cylinder 330 is inserted into the second connecting part 322, thereby completing the docking of the tail tube 31 and the vacuum pump 200.

[0052] S3. The linear slide 110 moves the gauge tube 31 downwards, immersing its end into the glue tank 120. This step is achieved by controlling the downward movement of the slide 111 by cranking the handle 112, thereby flexibly controlling the immersion depth of the end of the gauge tube 31.

[0053] S4. The air pump 200 is controlled by the control box 500 to work within a set time, thereby drawing a certain amount of glue into the tail tube 31, so that the gap between the tail tube 31 and the light source assembly 32 is filled with glue. The working time and negative pressure intensity of the air pump 200 are specifically determined in the pre-test according to the different specifications of the tail tube 31, thereby ensuring that the highest point of glue intake is located at the connection between the light source assembly 32 and the control assembly 40.

[0054] S5. Remove the label tube 31 and insert its end into the powder tank 130, so that the end gap between the label tube 31 and the light source assembly 32 is filled with sealing powder. This step directly removes the connecting tube 330 from the connector 320, thus facilitating the subsequent drying operation.

[0055] S6. Place the label tube 31 on the drying rack 400, allowing the adhesive inside the label tube 31 to cure and form an adhesive layer 50, thus creating a solid label tube 30. During drying, vertically attach the label tube 31 to the drying rack 400 with the end facing down. Since the end of the label tube 31 is sealed with sealing powder, the adhesive will not leak out, and the adhesive will sink under its own weight, preventing air bubbles from forming inside the label tube 31 and ensuring a uniform adhesive layer 50. After the adhesive has cured, use sandpaper to remove the solidified sealing powder from the outside of the end of the label tube 31, leaving the outer wall of the label tube 31 smooth.

[0056] The key to the glue-filling process lies in accurately adjusting the working time and negative pressure intensity of the vacuum pump 200 according to the different specifications of the solid float 30. After conducting glue-filling tests on various specifications of electronic buoys on the market, it was found that the working time of the vacuum pump 200 is between 0.01 and 90 seconds, and the negative pressure intensity adjustment range is 1 kg to 8 kg. In this embodiment, when the inner diameter of the float tube 31 is 0.5 mm and the length is 20 cm, the diameter of the linear FPC circuit board is 0.45 mm. Therefore, controlling the working time of the vacuum pump 200 to 1.32 seconds and the negative pressure intensity to 1.5 kg achieves the ideal optimal glue-filling amount, ensuring a high-quality solid float.

[0057] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
