Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wax impregnation technology, and more particularly to a wax impregnation device. Background Technology

[0002] Smart rings are emerging as a new type of wearable electronic device. Existing smart rings typically consist of a casing and a ring-shaped decorative element. Before installing the decorative element, a protective film or petroleum jelly needs to be manually applied to the outer surface of the decorative element to ensure a good seal between the decorative element and the casing.

[0003] Manually wrapping the protective film or applying petroleum jelly slows down product assembly efficiency and makes it difficult to remove excess protective film or spilled petroleum jelly. While waxing the outer surface of the ring-shaped decorative part can overcome the difficulty of cleaning the protective film or petroleum jelly, manual waxing still cannot guarantee product assembly efficiency, nor can it guarantee the reliability and consistency of the waxing effect, potentially affecting the sealing effect between the ring-shaped decorative part and the shell. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a wax impregnation device.

[0005] The wax impregnation equipment described in this embodiment of the utility model includes:

[0006] A heating furnace, wherein the heating furnace is provided with a container for holding liquid wax;

[0007] An adjustment mechanism, comprising a mounting part; the adjustment mechanism is movably connected to the heating furnace, and the movement of the adjustment mechanism relative to the heating furnace causes the mounting part to move closer to or further away from the receiving tank;

[0008] The mounting assembly is rotatably connected to the mounting part, and the mounting assembly includes a flexible element for fitting into a hole in the workpiece to be impregnated with wax.

[0009] Optionally, the flexible element includes a groove located at an end of the flexible element and extending radially through the flexible element.

[0012] The first groove and the second groove are connected and have the same depth direction. The first groove is located on the side of the second groove facing the flexible component. The cross-sectional projection of the second groove along its own depth direction is located within the cross-sectional projection of the first groove along its own depth direction.

[0013] Optionally, the wax impregnation equipment includes a liquid level sensor, which is disposed at the opening of the receiving tank or inside the receiving tank.

[0014] Optionally, the heating furnace includes a guide rail extending along a first direction, the first direction being inclined relative to the depth direction of the receiving groove; the adjustment mechanism is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0015] Optionally, the wax impregnation equipment further includes a buffer block;

[0016] The buffer block is connected to the heating furnace, and the buffer block is opposite to the adjustment mechanism in the first direction; the buffer block contacts the adjustment mechanism when the flexible part moves to the wax-impregnation position.

[0017] Optionally, the wax impregnation equipment further includes a threaded rod;

[0018] The heating furnace is provided with a threaded hole, and the through extension direction of the threaded hole is set along the first direction; the threaded rod is threadedly connected in the threaded hole, and the buffer block is fixedly connected to the rod end of the threaded rod facing the adjustment mechanism.

[0019] Optionally, the wax impregnation equipment includes a magnetic component;

[0023] In some implementations of this application, the wax impregnation equipment includes a heating furnace, an adjusting mechanism, and an installation assembly. The heating furnace has a receiving tank for holding molten wax. The adjusting mechanism is movably connected to the heating furnace, and its movement relative to the heating furnace causes its mounting portion to move closer to or further away from the receiving tank. The installation assembly is rotatably connected to the mounting portion. In use, the workpiece to be impregnated is fitted onto the flexible part of the installation assembly and moves closer to the receiving tank as the adjusting mechanism moves. After the workpiece is immersed in the molten wax in the receiving tank, the installation assembly is rotated to ensure the molten wax evenly coats the workpiece.

[0024] The wax-impregnation equipment described in this application can replace manual wax-impregnation operations, effectively avoiding the problem of slow wax-impregnation efficiency caused by manual operation, thus improving the production and assembly efficiency of the final product. Furthermore, the wax-impregnation equipment avoids the problems of unreliable and inconsistent wax-impregnation effects caused by manual operation, thus ensuring a reliable sealing effect between the wax-impregnated workpiece and other parts after assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, the wax impregnation equipment utilizes flexible components to mount the workpiece to be impregnated. These flexible components are directly inserted into the holes of the workpiece, resulting in a simple structure that facilitates assembly and disassembly. This improves the efficiency of installing and removing workpieces during the wax impregnation process, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the operation. The flexible components also prevent scratching the surface of the workpiece during installation, thus helping to ensure a high yield of the final product.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Wearable smart devices are electronic devices that can be worn on a user's body. These devices integrate sensors, processors, and communication modules, enabling data collection, processing, transmission, and human-computer interaction. Through physical contact or close interaction with the user, wearable smart devices can monitor the user's health data in real time and provide exercise guidance. Wearable smart devices can also seamlessly connect with ecosystems such as smartphones and smart homes, thereby enhancing the convenience of users' lives.

[0038] Smart rings, as wearable smart devices, are gradually becoming popular products in the smart wearable device field due to their compact size, portability, and stylish design. Existing smart rings integrate various sensors and wireless communication technologies, enabling functions such as health monitoring, activity tracking, mobile payment, and identity authentication when worn on the user's finger. With continuous technological advancements, the functions of smart rings will become even richer, and their application scenarios will further expand, making them an important part of future smart living.

[0039] Existing smart rings typically consist of a casing and a ring-shaped decorative element. After the casing and decorative element are assembled, a certain degree of sealing is required between the outer surface of the decorative element and the casing. Therefore, before installing the decorative element, a protective film or petroleum jelly needs to be manually wrapped around the outer surface of the decorative element to ensure a good seal between the decorative element and the casing.

[0040] Manually wrapping the protective film or applying petroleum jelly slows down product assembly efficiency and makes it difficult to remove excess film or spilled petroleum jelly. While waxing the outer surface of the ring-shaped decorative part can overcome the difficulty of cleaning the protective film or petroleum jelly, manual waxing still cannot guarantee assembly efficiency, nor can it ensure the reliability and consistency of the waxing effect, potentially affecting the seal between the ring-shaped decorative part and the shell. In the subsequent glue application stage, glue can easily overflow from areas of poor sealing between the ring-shaped decorative part and the shell, thus affecting product yield and production efficiency.

[0041] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a wax impregnation device.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] refer to Figure 1 The wax impregnation equipment 100 described in this embodiment includes a heating furnace 101, an adjustment mechanism 102, and an installation assembly 103. The heating furnace 101 is a device with heating and heat preservation functions. The heating furnace 101 is provided with a receiving tank 1011 for holding liquid wax 300. In use, solid wax blocks can be directly placed in the receiving tank 1011 of the heating furnace 101 and melted into liquid wax 300 under the action of the heating furnace 101. Alternatively, liquid wax 300 can be directly injected into the receiving tank 1011 of the heating furnace 101 and kept in a constant liquid state under the heat preservation effect of the heating furnace 101.

[0044] The adjusting mechanism 102 is movably connected to the heating furnace 101. Specifically, the adjusting mechanism 102 and the heating furnace 101 can be rotatably connected or slidably connected, etc. The adjusting mechanism 102 has a mounting portion 102a. Regardless of the movable connection between the adjusting mechanism 102 and the heating furnace 101, when the adjusting mechanism 102 moves relative to the heating furnace 101, the mounting portion 102a of the adjusting mechanism 102 can move closer to or further away from the receiving groove 1011.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 The mounting assembly 103 is mounted on the mounting portion 102a of the adjusting mechanism 102, and the two are connected by a rotatable connection. The mounting assembly 103 includes a flexible member 1031, and the workpiece 200 to be waxed has a mounting hole that mates with the flexible member 1031. During assembly, the flexible member 1031 is inserted into the mounting hole of the workpiece 200 to be waxed. The flexible member 1031 and the mounting hole can be fitted with an interference fit. In this case, the flexible member 1031 is compressed by the mounting hole and provides an elastic reaction force to the mounting hole. This increases the static friction between the flexible member 1031 and the mounting hole, keeping the flexible member 1031 and the mounting hole relatively fixed.

[0046] It should be noted that the workpiece 200 to be waxed can specifically be a ring-shaped decorative part of a smart ring, in which case the mounting hole is the ring hole of the ring-shaped decorative part. The workpiece 200 to be waxed can also be other workpieces with mounting holes, and this embodiment does not limit the specific type of the workpiece 200 to be waxed.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 In use, the workpiece 200 to be waxed is mounted on the flexible part 1031 of the mounting assembly 103 and moves closer to the receiving groove 1011 as the adjusting mechanism 102 moves. The movement of the adjusting mechanism 102 includes both the movement of the adjusting mechanism 102 relative to the heating furnace 101 and the movement of the adjusting mechanism 102 itself. In this embodiment, the specific movement mode of the adjusting mechanism 102 is not limited. (See reference...) Figure 3As the adjusting mechanism 102 moves, the workpiece 200 to be waxed can be immersed in the wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011. At this time, the mounting assembly 103 is rotated to make the workpiece 200 rotate evenly in the wax liquid 300, so that the wax liquid 300 evenly coats the surface of the workpiece 200. The depth to which the workpiece 200 is immersed in the receiving tank 1011 depends on the actual processing requirements of the workpiece 200. For example, if the workpiece 200 is a ring-shaped decorative part for a smart ring, the part that needs to be waxed is the outer ring surface of the ring-shaped decorative part. At this time, the adjusting mechanism 102 can be controlled to make the outer ring surface of the ring-shaped decorative part contact with or be immersed in the wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011. Then, the mounting assembly 103 is rotated to make the ring-shaped decorative part rotate, so that the entire outer ring surface of the ring-shaped decorative part can contact the wax liquid 300. When the workpiece 200 is another type of workpiece, the adjusting mechanism 102 can be controlled to make part of the workpiece immersed in the wax liquid 300. Then rotate the mounting assembly 103 to rotate the workpiece, so that all parts of the workpiece that need to be dipped in wax can come into contact with the wax liquid 300.

[0048] Since the wax-impregnation equipment 100 described in this application can replace manual wax-impregnation operations, using the wax-impregnation equipment 100 can effectively avoid the problem of slow wax-impregnation efficiency caused by manual operation, thus improving the production and assembly efficiency of the final product. Furthermore, the wax-impregnation equipment 100 can avoid the problems of unreliable and inconsistent wax-impregnation effects caused by manual operation, thus ensuring a reliable sealing effect between the wax-impregnated workpiece and other parts after assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, the wax impregnation equipment 100 described in this application utilizes a flexible component 1031 to mount the workpiece 200 to be impregnated with wax. The flexible component 1031 is directly inserted into the hole of the workpiece 200, resulting in a simple structure that facilitates assembly and disassembly, thus improving the efficiency of installing and removing the workpiece 200 during the wax impregnation operation, and consequently increasing the overall efficiency of the wax impregnation process. The flexible component 1031 also prevents scratching the surface of the workpiece 200 during installation, thereby helping to ensure a high yield of the final product.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] This embodiment is a further extension of Embodiment 1. Compared to Embodiment 1, the heating furnace 101, the adjustment mechanism 102, and the mounting assembly 103 remain basically the same in this embodiment.

[0052] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the flexible member 1031 further includes a groove 10311. Specifically, the flexible member 1031 is a cylindrical structure. The groove 10311 is located at one end of the flexible member 1031. The depth direction of the groove 10311 extends axially along the flexible member 1031, and the extension direction of the groove 10311 extends radially along the flexible member 1031 and penetrates the cylindrical surface of the flexible member 1031. The groove 10311 divides the end of the flexible member 1031 into several spaced flexible protrusions 10312. During installation, the workpiece 200 to be waxed can be fitted onto the outside of the flexible protrusions 10312. Due to the spacing between the flexible protrusions 10312, the end of the flexible member 1031 with the flexible protrusions 10312 is more prone to deformation. The workpiece 200 to be waxed is mounted on this part, which can significantly reduce the force required to install the workpiece 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the workpiece 200. Therefore, the groove 10311 facilitates the assembly of the workpiece 200 and the flexible part 1031, improves the assembly efficiency of the workpiece 200 and the flexible part 1031, and thus improves the overall efficiency of the waxing operation. Of course, the flexible part 1031 can also adopt a complete cylindrical or prismatic structure.

[0053] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, furthermore, at least two grooves 10311 may be provided, and the at least two grooves 10311 extend along different radial directions of the flexible member 1031. Specifically, there may be two grooves 10311, which extend along different radial directions of the flexible member 1031. The extension directions of the two grooves 10311 may be arranged at acute angles, obtuse angles, or right angles. Preferably, the extension directions of the two grooves 10311 may be arranged at right angles, so that the end of the flexible member 1031 has four flexible protrusions 10312 of different dimensions. There may also be three grooves 10311, which extend along different radial directions of the flexible member 1031. The extension directions of the three grooves 10311 are all arranged at acute angles. Preferably, the angles between the extending directions of the three grooves 10311 are equal, that is, the extending directions of any two adjacent grooves 10311 are 60 degrees apart, so that the end of the flexible member 1031 has six flexible protrusions 10312 of different dimensions. Of course, the number of grooves 10311 can be more, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment. When the external dimensions of the flexible member 1031 are fixed, the more grooves 10311 there are, the smaller the volume of the flexible protrusions 10312 cut out by the grooves 10311 on the flexible member 10311 can be. This is beneficial for the deformation of the flexible protrusions 10312 and further reduces the force required to install the workpiece 200 to be waxed on the flexible member 1031, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the workpiece 200 to be waxed. Increasing the number of grooves 10311 can further facilitate the assembly of the workpiece 200 to be waxed and the flexible member 1031, further improve the assembly efficiency of the workpiece 200 to be waxed and the flexible member 1031, and thus improve the overall efficiency of the waxing operation.

[0054] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7In this embodiment, the receiving groove 1011 of the heating furnace 101 further includes a first groove 1011a and a second groove 1011b. The first groove 1011a and the second groove 1011b are interconnected to form a complete receiving groove 1011. The first groove 1011a and the second groove 1011b have the same depth direction, and the first groove 1011a is located on the side of the second groove 1011b facing the flexible member 1031. The cross-sectional projection of the second groove 1011b along its own depth direction is located within the cross-sectional projection of the first groove 1011a along its own depth direction, so that a stepped surface appears at the junction of the first groove 1011a and the second groove 1011b. Specifically, in this embodiment, the projections of the first tank 1011a and the second tank 1011b in their respective depth directions are both rectangles. The cross-sectional projection of the second tank 1011b partially overlaps with the cross-sectional projection of the first tank 1011a in its own depth direction, but does not exceed the cross-sectional projection of the first tank 1011a. Due to the different cross-sectional dimensions of the two tanks, there is a stepped surface at the junction of the first tank 1011a and the second tank 1011b. This stepped surface can be used as a scale reference to help determine the remaining amount of wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011. For example, when the level of wax liquid 300 is within the first tank 1011a, it indicates that the remaining amount of wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011 is sufficient, and the wax impregnation operation can be carried out normally. When the level of wax liquid 300 is within the second tank 1011b, it indicates that the remaining amount of wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011 is insufficient, and wax liquid 300 needs to be replenished in time. The aforementioned structure of the receiving tank 1011 allows operators to easily determine the remaining amount of wax liquid 300 within it, thus ensuring sufficient wax liquid 300 in the tank. This guarantees that the workpiece 200 to be waxed is fully immersed in wax during the waxing process, avoiding problems such as poor waxing effect due to insufficient wax liquid 300.

[0055] refer to Figure 6In this embodiment, the wax impregnation equipment 100 further includes a liquid level sensor 104. The liquid level sensor 104 can detect the height of the liquid level in the receiving tank 1011 and send out prompts to help operators more accurately grasp the liquid level of the wax 300 in the receiving tank 1011. Specifically, the liquid level sensor 104 can be a capacitive liquid level sensor 104, a float-type liquid level sensor 104, or at least one of an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 104, a pressure liquid level sensor 104, an optical liquid level sensor 104, or a conductive liquid level sensor 104. Depending on the type of liquid level sensor 104 selected, the liquid level sensor 104 can be specifically disposed at the opening of the receiving tank 1011 or inside the receiving tank 1011. With the help of the liquid level sensor 104, technicians can more easily grasp the liquid level in the receiving tank 1011, thus facilitating precise wax impregnation of localized areas of the workpiece 200 to be impregnated. This prevents the workpiece 200 from being dipped in wax too deeply or too shallowly, thus ensuring the consistency and reliability of the waxing effect on the parts. Furthermore, the liquid level sensor 104 allows operators to easily determine the remaining amount of wax 300 in the receiving tank 1011, ensuring sufficient wax 300 is present in the tank. This guarantees that the workpiece 200 is fully dipped during the waxing process, avoiding problems such as poor waxing results due to insufficient wax 300.

[0056] Example 3:

[0057] This embodiment is a further extension of Embodiment 1. Compared to Embodiment 1, the heating furnace 101, the adjustment mechanism 102, and the mounting assembly 103 remain basically the same in this embodiment.

[0058] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, the heating furnace 101 further includes a guide rail 1012 extending along a first direction X, which is an inclination relative to the depth direction of the receiving groove 1011. An adjustment mechanism 102 is slidably connected to the guide rail 1012. As the adjustment mechanism 102 slides on the guide rail 1012, the mounting portion 102a of the adjustment mechanism 102 can move closer to or further away from the receiving groove 1011 along the first direction X, thereby causing the flexible member 1031 to move closer to or further away from the receiving groove 1011. This structure is simple, convenient to use, and beneficial for improving the efficiency of the wax impregnation operation.

[0059] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 102 may include a slider 1021 and a connector 1022. The slider 1021 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 1012, and the connector 1022 is fixedly mounted on the slider 1021 by welding, bonding, fastener connection, or other methods. The end of the connector 1022 facing away from the slider 1021 is the aforementioned mounting portion 102a. The mounting assembly 103 may specifically include a rotating shaft 1032 and a flexible member 1031. The first end of the rotating shaft 1032 is rotatably mounted on the connector 1022, and the second end of the rotating shaft 1032 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the flexible member 1031.

[0060] In use, the connector 1022 and slider 1021 can be manually pushed so that the mounting part 102a on the connector 1022 can move closer to or further away from the receiving tank 1011. After the flexible member 1031 moves to the wax-impregnation position with the connector 1022, the aforementioned rotating shaft 1032 can be rotated to drive the flexible member 1031 to rotate. Under the rotation of the flexible member 1031, the workpiece 200 to be waxed rotates in the wax liquid 300 in the receiving tank 1011 to complete the wax impregnation operation. For ease of use, a handle 1023 can be provided on the connector 1022, and a handwheel 1033 can be connected to the first end of the rotating shaft 1032. Of course, a cylinder, electric cylinder, or other drive mechanism can also be provided between the connector 1022 and the heating furnace 101, and the rotating shaft 1032 can also be connected to the output shaft of a motor. In use, the cylinder, electric cylinder and other driving mechanisms drive the connecting piece 1022 and the slider 1021 to move closer to or away from the receiving groove 1011 along the first direction X, and the motor drives the rotating shaft 1032 to rotate.

[0061] It should be noted that the adjustment mechanism 102 can also be rotatably mounted on the heating furnace 101. In this case, the adjustment mechanism 102 may specifically include a swing arm. The first end of the swing arm is rotatably mounted on the heating furnace 101, and the second end is connected to the mounting assembly 103 as a mounting part 102a. As the swing arm swings, the flexible member 1031 in the mounting assembly 103 can move closer to or further away from the receiving groove 1011 of the heating furnace 101.

[0062] In this embodiment, the configuration of the adjustment mechanism 102 is not specifically limited. For example, the adjustment mechanism 102 may also consist of two slidingly connected first and second rods. Correspondingly, the guide rail 1012 is arranged horizontally, and the depth direction of the receiving groove 1011 is arranged vertically. The first rod is slidably mounted on the guide rail 1012 so as to move closer to or further away from the receiving groove 1011 in the horizontal direction. The first end of the second rod is slidably mounted on the first rod, and its sliding direction is arranged vertically. The second end of the second rod is connected to the mounting assembly 103 as a mounting part 102a. In use, the first rod moves closer to the receiving groove 1011 in the horizontal direction, and the second rod moves closer to the receiving groove 1011 in the vertical direction, so that the workpiece 200 to be waxed, mounted on the flexible member 1031, can be immersed in the receiving groove 1011. Compared to this setup, in this embodiment, the extension direction of the guide rail 1012 is set along the first direction X, which is inclined to the depth direction of the receiving groove 1011. This allows the horizontal approach and vertical immersion of the workpiece 200 to be dipped in wax to be realized simultaneously using a single guide rail 1012, thus effectively simplifying the structure of the wax dipping equipment 100 and facilitating the miniaturization of the wax dipping equipment 100.

[0063] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, the heating furnace 101 may specifically include a housing 1013, with a receiving groove 1011 disposed on the upward side of the housing 1013. A heating device for heating or heat preservation may be disposed inside the housing 1013 to provide heat to the receiving groove 1011. The heating furnace 101 also includes a temperature control device 109 disposed on the aforementioned housing 1013. A guide rail 1012 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1013 using fasteners, and a clearance groove 10131 is provided on the housing 1013 corresponding to the position of the guide rail 1012. A portion of the slider 1021 extends out from the clearance groove 10131 and is fixedly connected to a connector 1022 outside the housing 1013.

[0064] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5In this embodiment, the wax impregnation apparatus 100 further includes a buffer block 105. The buffer block 105 is mounted on the heating furnace 101 and is opposite to the adjustment mechanism 102 in the first direction X. When the adjustment mechanism 102 moves to a predetermined position, the flexible member 1031 is exactly in the wax impregnation position, that is, the wax impregnation part of the workpiece 200 to be impregnated on the flexible member 1031 is exactly immersed in the wax liquid 300. At this time, the buffer block 105 contacts the adjustment mechanism 102 to restrict the movement of the adjustment mechanism 102. The buffer block 105 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber to provide good cushioning for the adjustment mechanism 102. The specific shape of the buffer block 105 depends on the actual needs; for example, the buffer block 105 can be cylindrical or cubic block structure, etc. The placement of the buffer block 105 depends on the actual needs. For example, the buffer block 105 can be placed on the guide rail 1012. When the adjusting mechanism 102 moves to the predetermined position, the buffer block 105 contacts the slider 1021 in the adjusting mechanism 102 to limit the movement of the adjusting mechanism 102. Alternatively, the buffer block 105 can be placed on the heating furnace 101. When the adjusting mechanism 102 moves to the predetermined position, the buffer block 105 contacts the connecting member 1022 in the adjusting mechanism 102 to limit the movement of the adjusting mechanism 102.

[0065] In this embodiment, the wax impregnation device 100 further includes a threaded rod 106. A threaded hole is provided on the heating furnace 101, with the through-extension direction of the threaded hole along a first direction X. The threaded rod 106 is threaded into the threaded hole, so that the extension direction of the threaded rod 106 is also along the first direction X. A buffer block 105 is fixedly connected to the rod end of the threaded rod 106 facing the adjustment mechanism 102. Rotating the threaded rod 106 adjusts the position of the buffer block 105 relative to the heating furnace 101. When the shape and size of the workpiece 200 to be waxed change, different flexible components 1031 can be replaced to adapt to the changes in the workpiece 200. At this time, the wax impregnation position of the flexible component 1031 will change, and correspondingly, the contact position between the adjustment mechanism 102 and the buffer block 105 also needs to change accordingly. The threaded rod 106 allows for convenient adjustment of the position of the buffer block 105, so that the position of the buffer block 105 can meet the wax impregnation requirements of different workpieces 200.

[0066] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4In this embodiment, the wax impregnation device 100 further includes magnetic components 107. Two magnetic components 107 are provided, and each is fixedly connected to the heating furnace 101 and the adjustment mechanism 102, respectively. Along the first direction X, the two magnetic components 107 are arranged opposite each other with opposite polarities. Under the mutual attraction of the two magnetic components 107, the adjustment mechanism 102 can be held in a preset position. It should be noted that this preset position can be the position of the adjustment mechanism 102 when the flexible component 1031 is in the wax impregnation position, or it can be the initial position when the adjustment mechanism 102 has not moved. For example, when the depth direction of the receiving groove 1011 is set vertically, the aforementioned first direction X is inclined to the vertical direction. Under the influence of gravity, the slider 1021, which is slidably mounted on the guide rail 1012, will move towards the receiving groove 1011. To avoid this situation, the magnetic components 107 can be respectively installed at the starting position of the corresponding guide rail 1012 of the heating furnace 101 and on the connector 1022, so that the connector 1022 and the slider 1021 can overcome the influence of gravity and remain at the starting position of the guide rail 1012, that is, the initial position before any movement occurs. The magnetic component 107 can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet.

[0067] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, the wax impregnation equipment 100 further includes a protective cover 108. The protective cover 108 is rotatably mounted on the heating furnace 101 so that it covers the receiving tank 1011 during the wax impregnation operation and opens when wax liquid 300 is added. This makes it convenient to use and has a simple structure. The protective cover 108 has an opening 1081, which is located on the side of the protective cover 108 facing the flexible member 1031 and communicates with the inner cavity 1082 of the protective cover 108. The inner cavity 1082 of the protective cover 108 communicates with the receiving tank 1011. During the wax impregnation operation, the flexible member 1031 can enter the inner cavity 1082 of the protective cover 108 through the opening 1081 under the action of the adjustment mechanism 102, so that the workpiece 200 to be impregnated with wax is impregnated in the inner cavity 1082 of the protective cover 108. The protective cover 108 prevents operators from accidentally touching the molten wax 300 during the wax dipping process, and also prevents the molten wax 300 from splashing out during the process. In this embodiment, the molten wax 300 is specifically a high-temperature wax, that is, a wax with a melting temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius. The protective cover 108 can effectively reduce the risk of burns to operators from the molten wax 300, thus helping to ensure safety during the wax dipping operation.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7In this embodiment, a storage box 110 can also be integrated into the heating furnace 101. The storage box 110 can hold wax blocks or samples of the workpiece 200 to be dipped in wax, as well as fasteners or tools such as screwdrivers. This allows technicians to easily access the required items as needed, improving the convenience of using the wax dipping equipment 100.
