Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical module housing production, and in particular to a drying device for the production and processing of optical module housings. Background Technology
[0002] The optical module shell is the physical protection and functional support structure of the optical module. It is mainly used to encapsulate the core components inside the optical module, such as optical chips, electrical chips, fiber optic interfaces, and circuits. It also plays a key role in signal shielding, heat dissipation, mechanical protection, and installation and fixation. It is an important component for the optical module to achieve stable operation and adapt to different application scenarios. The optical module shell needs to be dried during the production and cleaning process.
[0003] Existing drying equipment for optical module housing production has certain drawbacks. First, most existing equipment uses a fixed-direction drying structure, which cannot flexibly adjust the drying angle and hot air coverage direction according to the shape of the housing. This results in uneven heating in some areas of the housing, which not only prolongs the overall drying cycle but may also cause slight deformation of the material due to local over-drying, or leave residual moisture or solvents due to incomplete drying, affecting subsequent sealing performance. Second, the loading and drying processes of existing equipment are mostly designed in a "batch-by-batch" manner, meaning that a batch of housings must be manually loaded, dried, and then manually unloaded. This cannot achieve a continuous connection between "loading-drying-unloading". Especially in the scenario of mass production of optical module housings, frequent manual intervention not only increases labor costs but also makes it easy for housings to be damaged due to operational errors. At the same time, the drying equipment has a lot of idle waiting time, making it difficult to improve the overall production cycle.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a drying device for the production and processing of optical module shells to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a drying device for manufacturing and processing optical module housings includes a drying component 1. A feeding component 2 is provided on the front outer surface of the drying component 1. The drying component 1 includes a controller backplate 11, a heating chamber 12, a filter fan chamber 13, a drive motor 14, a mounting backplate 15, a rotary disk 16, a screw jack 17, a conveying drying bracket 18, an internal thread sliding block 19, and an upper cover frame 110. The feeding component 2 includes a U-shaped protective box 21, a left drive base 22, a right drive base 23, a mounting slot 24, a discharge roller shaft frame 25, and a feeding roller shaft frame 26.
[0020] It should be noted that this utility model is a drying device for the production and processing of optical module shells. The operation is first initiated by the feeding assembly 2: the right drive base 23 drives the feeding roller frame 26 to rotate, conveying the optical module shell to be dried along the guide path of the U-shaped protective box 21 to the inlet of the drying assembly 1. The U-shaped protective box 21 fixes the left drive base 22 and the right drive base 23 through the mounting slots 24 on both sides to ensure stable feeding. Simultaneously, the unloading roller frame 25 on the left drive base 22 is in a ready-to-start state. After the shell enters the drying assembly 1, it is first placed on the conveying drying bracket 18. Then, the controller backplate 11 instructs the screw jack 17 to rotate, and its internal threaded sliding block 19 drives the upper cover frame 110 to move downwards, forming an enclosing structure with the conveying drying bracket 18 to prevent the optical module shell from colliding or falling during subsequent rotation. Next, the drive motor 14 starts, driving the rotating disk 16 installed in the middle of the mounting backplate 15 to rotate. The rotating disk 16 synchronously drives the front conveying drying bracket 18, the upper cover frame 110, and the internal shell to rotate, achieving 360° rotation. Angle adjustment ensures uniform heating; simultaneously, the heating chamber 12 generates hot air, which is filtered and purified by the filter fan chamber 13 to form a clean hot air circulation, which is directed towards the outer shell within the enclosure structure to complete the drying operation. The controller backplane 11 monitors the temperature and fan speed in real time to stabilize the parameters; after drying, the screw jack 17 first drives the upper cover frame 110 to reset upwards, and the conveying drying bracket 18 then sends the outer shell to the unloading end. The left drive base 22 drives the unloading roller frame 25 to rotate, transferring the finished product to the next process. At the same time, the feeding roller frame 26 continuously conveys new outer shells to be dried, realizing continuous production of "feeding-drying-unloading". This not only solves the problems of uneven drying and inability to operate continuously in traditional devices, but also ensures the integrity of the outer shell during the processing through enclosure protection, adapting to the precision processing requirements of optical module outer shells.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
