Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing equipment technology, and in particular to a pressurizing device. Background Technology

[0002] During product processing, carriers are needed to support the products, and some carriers are equipped with covers. When the covers are placed on the carriers, they cannot fit snugly together, resulting in a poor fit. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a pressurizing device to solve the problem of poor cover sealing.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a pressurizing device, including a base, a top plate, a lifting driver, a pressure plate, and two mounting plates. The two mounting plates are respectively connected to the base, and a receiving space is provided between the two mounting plates for accommodating a carrier. The pressure plate is located above the two mounting plates and is slidably connected to them. The top plate is positioned below the pressure plate along the direction of gravity and is used to support the carrier. The lifting driver is connected to both the base and the top plate, and is used to drive the top plate to move upward relative to the base. The top plate also supports the pressure plate to move upward relative to the mounting plates, causing the pressure plate to act towards the carrier and onto the cover plate under the influence of gravity.

[0005] In the above embodiments, the lifting driver drives the top plate carrier to move up and down, and the top plate lifts the pressure plate, so that the pressure plate applies pressure to the cover plate under its own weight, which helps the cover plate to fully contact the carrier.

[0006] In some embodiments, the lifting actuator can drive the top plate to move sequentially to a first position, a second position, and a third position, with the heights of the first, second, and third positions increasing sequentially in the direction of gravity. In the first position, the top plate is used to support a carrier transported from the outside. In the second position, the top plate is used to lift the pressure plate, applying the full weight of the pressure plate to the top plate. In the third position, the top plate is used to support the carrier located in the processing area. By supporting the carrier and lifting the pressure plate with the top plate and moving it synchronously to the third position, the pressure exerted by the pressure plate on the cover plate remains constant at the height of the third position.

[0007] In some embodiments, the top of each mounting plate is respectively used to contact the bottom of the pressure plate and restrict downward movement of the pressure plate relative to the mounting plate. Alternatively, the pressurizing device may also include a limiting member connected to the mounting plate, which supports the pressure plate and restricts downward movement of the pressure plate relative to the mounting plate. Limiting the height of the pressure plate by the mounting plate or the limiting member avoids excessively small gaps between the pressure plate and the top plate, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the vehicle and the pressure plate when the vehicle enters or exits the receiving space.

[0008] In some embodiments, the pressurizing device further includes two connectors, two slide rails, and two sliders. Each slide rail extends along the direction of gravity, and each mounting plate is provided with at least one slide rail. Each slider is slidably connected to one slide rail. One connector is connected to a slider on a pressure plate and a mounting plate, respectively, and the other connector is connected to all sliders on the pressure plate and another mounting plate, respectively. The sliders cooperate with the slide rails to enable the connectors to drive the pressure plate to move up and down relative to the mounting plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, the pressure plate and the connector are detachably connected. By replacing the pressure plate with one of different weights, different pressures can be applied to the cover plate as needed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the pressure plate is provided with a clearance groove that extends through the pressure plate along the direction of gravity. The clearance groove is used to allow external processing equipment to process the product on the carrier. The clearance groove is provided to prevent interference between the pressure plate and the external processing equipment.

[0011] In some embodiments, the pressurizing device further includes a plurality of press pins, each press pin including a connecting end and a pressing end, the connecting end and the pressing end being distributed relative to each other along the direction of gravity, the connecting end being used to connect with the pressure plate, and the pressing end being used to apply pressure to the cover plate under the action of the pressure plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connecting end of the pressure pin is movably connected to the pressure plate via a thread to adjust the distance between the low-pressure end and the pressure plate. By adjusting the position of the pressure end, the pressure pin limits the relative position of the pressure plate and the carrier, thereby avoiding the risk of interference between the pressure plate and components or products on the carrier.

[0013] In some embodiments, each mounting plate is provided with a guide groove that extends along the direction of gravity, with a portion of the top plate extending into the guide groove. The guide groove is used to guide the movement of the top plate. When the carrier moves up and down relative to the mounting plate under external force, the guiding effect of the guide groove improves the stability of the top plate moving along the direction of gravity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pressurizing device further includes two conveyor belts, each disposed on a mounting plate, both conveyor belts being located within a receiving space, and the conveyor belts being used to transport a vehicle in and out of the receiving space. A top plate is located between the two conveyor belts in a direction in which the two mounting plates are positioned opposite each other. The vehicle is transported via the conveyor belts so that the top plate can support the vehicle within the receiving space. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0022] The terms “first”, “second”, etc., are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0024] Some products require a carrier for support during processing, and a cover plate needs to be placed on the carrier. However, when the cover plate is placed on the carrier, the cover plate may not be properly closed due to obstruction from the components on the carrier.

[0025] Therefore, one embodiment of this application provides a pressurizing device, including a base, a top plate, a lifting driver, a pressure plate, and two mounting plates. The two mounting plates are respectively connected to the base, and a receiving space is provided between the two mounting plates for accommodating a carrier. The pressure plate is located above the two mounting plates and is slidably connected to them. The top plate is disposed below the pressure plate along the direction of gravity and is used to support the carrier. The lifting driver is connected to both the base and the top plate, and is used to drive the top plate to move upward relative to the base. The top plate also supports the pressure plate to move upward relative to the mounting plates, and causes the pressure plate to act towards the carrier and onto the cover plate under the action of gravity.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the lifting driver drives the top plate carrier to move up and down, and the top plate lifts the pressure plate, so that the pressure plate applies pressure to the cover plate under its own weight, which helps the cover plate to fully contact the carrier.

[0027] Some embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] One embodiment of this application provides a pressurizing device 10 for applying pressure to a cover plate 21 on a carrier 20 to increase the pressure at which the cover plate 21 closes.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pressurizing device 10 includes a base 100, a lifting driver 14, a top plate 13, and the pressurizing device 10 itself. The pressurizing device 10 includes a pressure plate 12 and two mounting plates 11. The two mounting plates 11 are respectively connected to the base 100, and a receiving space 111 is provided between the two mounting plates 11. The pressure plate 12 is located above the receiving space 111. The top plate 13 is arranged opposite to the pressure plate 12 along the direction of gravity. The lifting driver 14 is connected to the base 100 and the top plate 13 respectively.

[0030] During operation, when the carrier 20 is transported into the receiving space 111, and the top plate 13 supports the carrier 20, the lifting drive 14 drives the top plate 13 to move the carrier 20 upward relative to the base 100 until the cover plate 21 on the top plate 13 contacts the pressure plate 12. The lifting drive 14 continues to drive the top plate 13 to move the carrier 20 upward, so that the cover plate 21 lifts the pressure plate 12 and moves upward relative to the mounting plate 11. Under the action of gravity, the pressure plate 12 presses the cover plate 21 against the carrier 20, realizing the pressing of the cover plate 21 without a power mechanism, thus reducing energy consumption.

[0031] At the same time, the pressure plate 12 presses down on the cover plate 21 under its own weight, so that the pressure plate 12 exerts the same force on the cover plate 21 each time, so that the closing pressure of different cover plates 21 remains consistent when covering different carriers 20.

[0032] In some embodiments, the direction in which the two mounting plates 11 are positioned relative to each other is defined as the X-axis direction, and the direction from the top plate 13 to the pressure plate 12 is defined as the positive Z-axis direction, wherein the X-axis is perpendicular to the Y-axis, and the positive Z-axis direction is the direction of gravity upward.

[0033] In some embodiments, the lifting driver 14 includes a power unit with output reciprocating force, such as an electric actuator, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw module, or pneumatic cylinder.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting driver 14 is disposed at the bottom of the base 100, and the working end of the lifting driver 14 passes through the base 100 and is connected to the top plate 13.

[0035] In other embodiments, the lifting drive 14 is disposed on top of the base 100.

[0036] Since the processing equipment (not shown) needs to process the product after the cover plate 21 is closed, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The lifting driver 14 can drive the top plate 13 to move sequentially to the first position, the second position and the third position. In the Z-axis direction, the height of the first position, the second position and the third position increases sequentially.

[0037] During operation, the lifting actuator 14 drives the top plate 13 to a first position to support the carrier 20 delivered from the outside. After the top plate 13 supports the carrier 20, the lifting actuator 14 drives the top plate 13 to rise and move to a second position, so that the top plate 13 and the carrier 20 completely lift the pressure plate 12, and the weight of the pressure plate 12 acts entirely on the cover plate 21, thereby causing the cover plate 21 to close onto the carrier 20. The lifting actuator 14 continues to drive the top plate 13 to rise and move to a third position, placing the carrier 20 within the processing area of ​​the external processing equipment, so that the external processing equipment can process the product on the carrier 20. It can be understood that since the pressure plate 12 acts on the cover plate 21 by gravity, the pressure exerted by the pressure plate 12 on the cover plate 21 remains constant as the top plate 13 lifts the pressure plate 12 to close the cover plate 21, until the top plate 13 drives the carrier 20 to continue rising and moving, thus achieving a constant closing force on the cover plate 21.

[0038] Furthermore, when there are multiple processing devices or multiple processing areas of the processing devices located at multiple different heights, the lifting drive 14 can also drive the top plate 13 to rise and move from the third position to the fourth position, the fifth position, and other positions, so that different processing devices process products at different heights, or that products are processed in processing areas at different heights of the same processing device. And by keeping the closing force of the cover plate 21 constant, the carrier 20 can stably support the products at multiple height positions, which helps to improve the stability of product processing.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The pressure plate 12 is provided with a relief groove 121, which extends through the pressure plate 12 along the Z-axis. The relief groove 121 is provided to avoid the risk of interference between the pressure plate 12 and the external processing equipment when the product on the carrier 20 is processed by external processing equipment.

[0040] It is understandable that the parts of the cover plate 21 that correspond to the top and bottom of the product are hollowed out to avoid the risk of the cover plate 21 obstructing the product.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The pressurizing device 10 also includes a conveying assembly, which includes two conveyor belts 19. One conveyor belt 19 is mounted on one mounting plate 11, and the other conveyor belt 19 is mounted on another mounting plate 11. Both conveyor belts 19 are located within the receiving space 111. The carrier 20 is conveyed in and out of the receiving space 111 via the conveyor belts 19, so that the pressurizing device 10 continuously pressurizes different products and lifts the products toward the processing area of ​​the processing equipment.

[0042] Furthermore, the top plate 13 is positioned between the two conveyor belts 19 along the X-axis and moves up and down relative to the mounting plate 11 to reduce the risk of interference between the top plate 13 and the conveyor belts 19.

[0043] In other embodiments, the conveyor belt 19 is disposed on the base 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly further includes at least one motor (not shown), which is mounted on the mounting plate 11 or the base 100, and is connected to the conveyor belt 19 in a transmission manner, driving the conveyor belt 19 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pressurizing device 10 also includes two connectors 15, at least two slide rails 17, and at least two sliders 16. Each slide rail 17 extends along the Z-axis. Each mounting plate 11 is provided with at least one slide rail 17. One slider 16 is slidably connected to one slide rail 17. One connector 15 is connected to all sliders 16 on the pressure plate 12 and one mounting plate 11, respectively. The other connector 15 is connected to all sliders 16 on the pressure plate 12 and another mounting plate 11, respectively. When the top plate 13 lifts the pressure plate 12, the sliders 16 cooperate with the slide rails 17 to achieve the effect of the connector 15 driving the pressure plate 12 to move up and down relative to the mounting plate 11.

[0046] Furthermore, each mounting plate 11 is provided with at least two slide rails 17, so as to improve the accuracy of the pressure plate 12 moving along the Z-axis direction through the guiding effect of multiple slide rails 17.

[0047] In some embodiments, the slide rail 17, slider 16, and connector 15 are respectively located on the side of the corresponding mounting plate 11 away from the receiving space 111 along the Y-axis direction, so as to reduce the risk of interference between at least one of the slide rail 17, slider 16, or connector 15 and the conveyor belt 19 on the corresponding mounting plate 11.

[0048] In some embodiments, both mounting plates 11 are located within the projection of the pressure plate 12 in the Z-axis direction, so that before the top plate 13 lifts the pressure plate 12, the top of each mounting plate 11 contacts the bottom of the pressure plate 12 and supports the pressure plate 12, thereby limiting the pressure plate 12 and helping to reduce the risk that the distance between the pressure plate 12 and the top plate 13 is too small, causing the vehicle 20 to be unable to enter the receiving space 111.

[0049] Furthermore, by limiting the distance between the pressure plate 12 and the top plate 13, the top plate 13 can support vehicles 20 of different heights.

[0050] In some embodiments, the pressurizing device 10 further includes a limiting member (not shown), which is connected to the mounting plate 11. The limiting member supports the pressure plate 12 and restricts the downward movement of the pressure plate 12 relative to the mounting plate 11, thereby reducing the risk that the carrier 20 may be unable to enter the receiving space 111 due to the insufficient distance between the pressure plate 12 and the top plate 13. For example, the limiting member is located on one side of the mounting plate 11 along the X-axis. Before the top plate 13 lifts the pressure plate 12, the limiting member provides support to the slider 16 or the connecting member 15, thereby restricting the downward movement of the slider 16 or the connecting member 15 and achieving the effect of limiting the pressure plate 12.

[0051] In some embodiments, the limiting element includes a limiting block (not shown) or a limiting bolt (not shown).

[0052] In some embodiments, when the limiting member includes a limiting bolt, the threaded end of the limiting bolt is threadedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 11, so that the limiting bolt replaces the top of the mounting plate 11 to contact the pressure plate 12, thereby limiting the pressure plate 12. At the same time, by rotating the limiting bolt, the height of the limiting bolt can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the limiting bolt limiting the pressure plate 12, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the distance between the pressure plate 12 and the top plate 13.

[0053] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 12 is detachably connected to the connector 15. Different pressures can be applied to the cover plate 21 as needed by replacing the pressure plate 12 with one of different weights. Alternatively, different sizes of pressure plates 12 can be used to apply pressure to different cover plates 21.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The pressurizing device 10 also includes multiple pressing pins 18. Each pressing pin 18 includes a connecting end 181 and a pressing end 182, which are distributed relative to each other along the Z-axis. The connecting end 181 is used to connect with the pressure plate 12. When the top plate 13 moves upward, the pressing end 182 contacts the cover plate 21 and applies pressure to the cover plate 21 under the weight of the pressure plate 12. The multiple pressing pins 18 are distributed at intervals so that the cover plate 21 can be locally pressed by the multiple pressing pins 18, which helps to reduce the risk of warping deformation of the cover plate 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 When the pressure plate 12 is provided with a relief groove 121, the pressure pin 18 is located on one side of the relief groove 121.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting end 181 of the pressure pin 18 is movably connected to the pressure plate 12 via a thread. By rotating the pressure pin 18, the position of the pressing end 182 is adjusted, and the distance between the pressing end 182 and the pressure plate 12 in the Z-axis direction is adjusted, so that the pressure pin 18 limits the relative position of the pressure plate 12 and the carrier 20, thereby avoiding the risk of interference between the pressure plate 12 and the components or products on the carrier 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, each mounting plate 11 is provided with a guide groove 112, which extends along the direction of gravity and passes through the mounting plate 11 along the X-axis. A portion of the top plate 13 extends into the guide groove 112. This guide groove 112, through its guiding effect, improves the stability of the carrier 20 moving along the Z-axis when the top plate 13 moves the carrier 20 up and down relative to the mounting plate 11. Furthermore, the guide groove 112, in conjunction with the slide rail 17 and the slider 16, reduces the risk of relative movement between the carrier 20 and the pressure plate 12 in the horizontal direction.

[0058] For example, guide pins (not shown) are provided on both sides of the top plate 13 along the X-axis direction. Part of the guide pin extends into the guide groove 112 so as to act as a guide through the side wall of the guide groove 112, thereby achieving the effect of the guide groove 112 moving and guiding the top plate 13.

[0059] Understandably, when a conveyor belt 19 is provided on the mounting plate 11, the guide groove 112 is located on both sides of the conveyor belt 19 on the corresponding mounting plate 11 along the Y-axis direction, in order to reduce the risk of interference between the guide pins on the top plate 13 and the conveyor belt 19.

[0060] In other embodiments, the conveying assembly includes a plurality of conveyor rollers (not shown) for conveying the carrier 20 within the receiving space 111. The conveyor rollers are spaced apart from the guide grooves 112 in the Y-axis direction to convey the carrier 20 while avoiding interference between the conveyor rollers and guide pins.

[0061] In some embodiments, the pressurization device 10 further includes a detection component (not shown), which includes positioning elements such as photoelectric switches, contact switches or laser sensors, and is used to detect the horizontal or vertical position of the carrier 20.

[0062] For example, the inspection component includes a laser sensor for detecting the carrier 20 within the accommodating space 111 and sending a feedback signal to the drive motor to cause the drive motor to rotate or stop the conveyor belt 19, thereby improving the accuracy of the carrier 20's position on the top plate 13. And / or the inspection component includes a photoelectric switch for detecting the position of the top plate 13. When the top plate 13 moves the carrier 20 up and down and moves into the sensing area of ​​the photoelectric switch, the photoelectric switch sends a feedback signal to the lifting driver 14 to stop the lifting driver 14, thereby improving the accuracy of the top plate 13 moving the carrier 20 up and down.

[0063] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the substantive scope of this application fall within the scope of this application.
