[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] A raw material processing structure for the production of lead-free solder bars includes a mixing tank 1, a stirring assembly 4 inside the mixing tank 1, a melting tank 2 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and a processing assembly 5 inside the melting tank 2.

[0028] The stirring assembly 4 includes a drive motor 401 fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 401 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 402. A guide rail 403 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 402. Planetary stirring arms 404 are provided on both sides inside the guide rail 403. Stirring blades 405 are fixedly connected to the outside of the planetary stirring arms 404. A baffle 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the planetary stirring arms 404. A connecting seat 407 is fixedly connected to the outside of the planetary stirring arms 404. A scraper 408 is slidably connected inside the connecting seat 407.

[0029] In this embodiment: by starting the drive motor 401 at the top of the mixing tank 1, the drive motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate, and the guide rail 403 on the outside of the rotating shaft 402 rotates accordingly. Under the action of the guide rail 403, the planetary stirring arms 404 on both sides inside the guide rail 403 revolve around the rotating shaft 402 and rotate around their own axis. This planetary motion causes the stirring blades 405 fixed on the outside of the planetary stirring arms 404 to form a complex three-dimensional stirring trajectory in the mixing tank 1, which fully stirs the raw material powder. At the same time, the baffle 406 at the bottom of the planetary stirring arms 404 further disturbs the material flow and enhances the mixing effect. Meanwhile, the scraper 408 in the connecting seat 407 on the outside of the planetary stirring arms 404 slides close to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 under the action of the connecting spring 8, scraping off the raw material attached to the tank wall to avoid raw material residue and ensure uniform mixing.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the processing component 5 includes a controller 501 fixedly connected to the outside of the melting tank 2. A heating wire 502 is electrically connected to the outside of the controller 501. A heat-conducting plate 503 is fixedly connected inside the melting tank 2. The heat-conducting plate 503 is located inside the heating wire 502.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a conveying channel 504 is fixedly connected inside the melting tank 2, and the conveying channel 504 is located inside the heat-conducting plate 503.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a servo motor 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the melting tank 2, and a spiral stirring blade 506 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 505. The spiral stirring blade 506 is located inside the conveying channel 504, and a control valve 507 is provided at the bottom of the conveying channel 504.

[0033] In this embodiment: the temperature inside the melting tank 2 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 7 on the outside of the melting tank 2, and the data is transmitted to the controller 501. The controller 501 controls the heating wire 502 to work according to the set temperature parameters. The heat generated by the heating wire 502 is evenly transferred to the melting tank 2 through the heat conduction plate 503 to heat and melt the raw materials in the conveying channel 504. At the same time, the servo motor 505 at the top of the melting tank 2 is started, which drives the spiral stirring blade 506 in the conveying channel 504 to rotate. The spiral stirring blade 506 pushes the molten liquid metal forward on the one hand, and stirs the liquid metal on the other hand to make it heat evenly and avoid the phenomenon of alloy composition segregation.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the mixing tank 1 is connected to a connecting channel 3, the bottom of the connecting channel 3 is connected to a discharge pipe 6, and the bottom of the discharge pipe 6 is connected to the conveying channel 504.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a temperature sensor 7 is installed on the outside of the melting tank 2, and the temperature sensor 7 is electrically connected to the controller 501.

[0036] In this embodiment: By setting up a connecting channel 3 and a discharge pipe 6, after the tin, silver, and copper powders in the mixing tank 1 are fully mixed by the planetary stirring arm 404, the uniformly mixed raw materials slide down through the connecting channel 3 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 and enter the discharge pipe 6 at the bottom of the connecting channel 3. The discharge pipe 6 then accurately conveys the raw materials to the inlet of the conveying channel 504 inside the melting tank 2. During the entire transmission process, the connecting channel 3 and the discharge pipe 6 form a closed material transmission path. The raw materials fall naturally by gravity without the need for additional power. By setting up a temperature sensor 7, the temperature sensor 7 on the outside of the melting tank 2 continuously monitors the temperature inside the tank. When the raw materials in the conveying channel 504 begin to melt, the temperature sensor 7 converts the real-time temperature data into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller 501 on the outside of the melting tank 2. The controller 501 has a built-in preset temperature threshold. If the monitored temperature is lower than the preset value, the controller 501 immediately sends an electrical signal to the heating wire 502 to start the heating wire 502. When the temperature reaches the preset range, the controller 501 automatically adjusts the power of the heating wire 502 or stops heating to maintain a stable melting temperature.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a connecting spring 8 is fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 407, and the connecting spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the scraper 408.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the mixing tank 1 is connected to a feed pipe 9, and a blockage block 10 is snapped into the top of the feed pipe 9.

[0039] In this embodiment: By setting a connecting spring 8, when the planetary stirring arm 404 revolves and rotates around the axis 402, the connecting seat 407 on the outside of the stirring arm drives the scraper 408 to move synchronously. The connecting spring 8 inside the connecting seat 407 is always in a compressed state, and the scraper 408 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 by the elastic force. When the scraper 408 moves with the stirring arm, if it comes into contact with the raw material powder attached to the tank wall, the spring will automatically extend and retract according to the curvature of the tank wall, so that the scraper 408 always slides against the tank wall, scraping the residual raw material to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. By setting up a feed pipe 9 and a blocking block 10, when adding raw materials, the blocking block 10 at the top of the feed pipe 9 is pulled out upwards. The blocking block 10 is made of rubber and is press-fitted with the inner wall of the feed pipe 9. Tin, silver and copper powders are poured into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 9. After the feeding is completed, the blocking block 10 is re-inserted into the top of the feed pipe 9. The flange of the blocking block 10 fits tightly with the port of the feed pipe 9 to form a sealing structure, preventing dust from escaping and polluting the workshop environment during the feeding process, and preventing external dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the mixing tank 1 and affecting the purity of the raw materials.

[0040] Working principle: When using the raw material processing structure for lead-free solder bar production, first open the plug 10 of the feed pipe 9 at the top of the mixing tank 1, and pour the raw material powders such as tin, silver, and copper into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 9. Then plug the plug 10 to prevent dust leakage. Start the drive motor 401 at the top of the mixing tank 1. The drive motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate, and the guide rail 403 on the outside of the rotating shaft 402 rotates accordingly. The planetary stirring arms 404 on both sides inside the guide rail 403 rotate around the guide rail 403 under the action of the guide rail 403. The rotating shaft 402 revolves around a central axis and rotates on its own axis. This planetary motion causes the stirring blades 405, fixed to the outside of the planetary stirring arm 404, to form a complex three-dimensional stirring trajectory within the mixing tank 1, thoroughly mixing the raw material powder. Simultaneously, the baffle 406 at the bottom of the planetary stirring arm 404 further disrupts the material flow, enhancing the mixing effect. Meanwhile, the scraper 408 within the connecting seat 407 on the outside of the planetary stirring arm 404 slides tightly against the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 under the action of the connecting spring 8, scraping away the raw material adhering to the tank wall. To avoid raw material residue and ensure uniform mixing, the uniformly mixed raw material enters the discharge pipe 6 through the connecting channel 3 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and is then transported by the discharge pipe 6 to the conveying channel 504 inside the melting tank 2. At this time, the temperature sensor 7 on the outside of the melting tank 2 monitors the temperature inside the melting tank 2 in real time and transmits the data to the controller 501. The controller 501 controls the heating wire 502 to work according to the set temperature parameters. The heat generated by the heating wire 502 is evenly transferred to the melting tank 2 through the heat conduction plate 503 to heat and melt the raw material in the conveying channel 504. At the same time, the servo motor 505 at the top of the melting tank 2 starts, driving the spiral stirring blade 506 in the conveying channel 504 to rotate. The spiral stirring blade 506 pushes the molten liquid metal forward on the one hand, and stirs the liquid metal on the other hand to make it heat evenly and avoid the phenomenon of alloy composition segregation. When the liquid metal is transported to the bottom of the conveying channel 504, the control valve 507 is opened, and the liquid metal flows out of the conveying channel 504 and enters the subsequent cooling and forming processes, finally producing lead-free solder bars.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
