Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of circuit board processing technology, and in particular relates to a whole-board conformal coating machine with a safety protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Conformal coating is mainly used to protect electronic components and electrical equipment from external environmental factors. Applying conformal coating can extend the service life of equipment and prevent damage caused by moisture, dust, chemicals, etc. At present, in order to improve coating efficiency and quality, coating machines are mostly used for coating. During coating, in order to prevent the mist-like conformal coating from drifting into the external environment and being inhaled by workers, the coating mechanism is equipped with a safety protection device to isolate the coating environment from the external environment.

[0003] A search revealed that authorization announcement number CN215695000U, with an authorization announcement date of February 1, 2022, discloses a whole-board conformal coating machine with a safety protection device. The machine includes a workbench, a control box fixedly mounted on the lower side wall of the workbench, a protective cover fixedly mounted on the upper side wall of the workbench, a moving device fixedly mounted at the upper end inside the protective cover, and a spraying assembly fixedly mounted at the lower end of the moving device. Symmetrical first lead screws are longitudinally rotatable at both ends inside the control box, and first bevel gears are sleeved at the lower ends of both first lead screws. A dual-axis motor is fixedly mounted at the lower end inside the control box, and rotating rods are fixedly mounted at both ends of the dual-axis motor. When the spraying assembly sprays paint onto the whole board, it can effectively provide safety protection, preventing the sprayed paint from drifting into the air and coming into contact with the operator's skin, thus preventing skin injury.

[0004] In existing technologies, after prolonged coating of circuit boards, any uncoated conformal coating sprayed from the nozzle adheres to the workbench. This requires manual scraping, increasing the workload for workers. Furthermore, after coating, a mist of conformal coating remains in the space surrounding the circuit board. When the protective cover is opened, this mist disperses into the environment, reducing worker protection. To address these issues, we provide a whole-board conformal coating machine with a safety protection device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a whole-board conformal coating machine with a safety protection device. The machine includes a coating mechanism 1, which comprises a housing 108 with an open upper side. A placement plate 109 is fixed to the upper wall of the housing 108 for placing the circuit board to be coated. A protective cover 104 is fixed to the upper wall of the placement plate 109. An L-shaped plate 106 is provided on the front side of the protective cover 104. The cooperation between the L-shaped plate 106 and the protective cover 104 provides a safety protection effect for the worker. A material hopper 103 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the upper wall of the protective cover 104. The material hopper 103 contains conformal coating. A delivery pump 101 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the material hopper 103 for conveying the conformal coating. An electric push rod 111 is installed inside the protective cover 104. The operation of the electric push rod 111 can drive the spray head 112 to move, thereby adjusting the coating height. A connecting box 111b is fixedly installed at the lower end of the electric push rod 111. The interior of the connecting box 111b is hollow, and the interior of the spray head 112 communicates with the interior of the connecting box 111b. Multiple nozzles 112 are equidistantly fixed to the lower wall of the connecting box 111b from front to back for spraying the conformal coating in a mist. A motor 107 is fixed to the upper side of the front wall of the housing 108. A screw 107a is fixed to the power output shaft of the motor 107. The rear end of the screw 107a is rotatably connected to the housing 108 via a bearing. Rubber telescopic sleeves are provided at the front and rear of the moving plate 114, which are fitted over the screw 107a to prevent the conformal coating from contaminating the screw 107a. The two ends of the rubber telescopic sleeves are respectively connected to the opposite side. The corresponding housing 108 and movable plate 114 are fixed. The external thread of screw 107a is connected to movable plate 114 which is slidably connected to placement plate 109. Scraper 113 is detachably fixed on the upper side of movable plate 114. The front end of the lower wall of scraper 113 contacts the upper wall of placement plate 109, so that when motor 107 works, it drives screw 107a to rotate, which drives movable plate 114 to move forward, thereby driving scraper 113 to move forward along placement plate 109 to scrape off the conformal coating adhering to the upper surface of placement plate 109. Specifically, both the inlet and outlet ends of the delivery pump 101 are fixed with delivery pipes 101a. The other end of the delivery pipe 101a at the inlet end of the delivery pump 101 is fixed to the lower end of the side wall of the material box 103, and the other end of the delivery pipe 101a at the outlet end of the delivery pump 101 is fixed to the connecting box 111b. With the above arrangement, when the delivery pump 101 is working, the conformal coating inside the material box 103 is delivered to the inside of the connecting box 111b with the cooperation of the delivery pipe 101a. The upper wall of the material tank 103 is fixedly provided with a feed pipe 103b, the inside of the feed pipe 103b is connected to the inside of the material tank 103, and the outside of the feed pipe 103b is threadedly connected with a pipe cap 102. By rotating the pipe cap 102, the pipe cap 102 is disengaged from the feed pipe 103b, and the conformal coating can be replenished into the material tank 103 through the feed pipe 103b. In order to balance the pressure of the material tank 103 and the outside, a small hole is also provided on the pipe cap 102 or the upper wall of the material tank 103 to balance the internal and external pressure of the material tank 103. The front wall of the material tank 103 is fixedly provided with a transparent window 103a to facilitate viewing the liquid level of the conformal coating inside the material tank 103. An electric push rod 105 is provided above the L-shaped plate 106. Both ends of the electric push rod 105 are fixed with connectors 105a. The electric push rod 105 is rotatably connected to the L-shaped plate 106 and the protective cover 104 through the connectors 105a. The L-shaped plate 106 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 104 through a hinge. By operating the electric push rod 105, the L-shaped plate 106 can be rotated to open or close the protective cover 104. An air inlet groove 104a is provided on the upper wall of the protective cover 104. When the fan 204 is working, outside air will enter the protective cover 104 through the air inlet groove 104a. A motor 110 is fixedly mounted on the upper right side of the protective cover 104. A screw 110a is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the motor 110. The left end of the screw 110a is rotatably connected to the protective cover 104 via a bearing. Rubber telescopic sleeves are provided on the left and right sides of the moving block 111a, fitted over the screw 110a, to prevent the conformal coating from contaminating the screw 110a. The two ends of the rubber telescopic sleeves are respectively fixed to the corresponding protective cover 104 and moving block 111a. The external threaded connection of 10a is a movable block 111a, which is slidably connected to the protective cover 104 to prevent the movable block 111a from rotating. The electric push rod 111 is fixedly connected to the movable block 111a. With the above configuration, the motor 110 drives the screw 110a to rotate, thereby moving the movable block 111a and driving the electric push rod 111 to move, which in turn drives the connecting box 111b and the spray head 112 to move, thereby adjusting the spraying position. Rectangular grooves 109a are provided on the placement plates 109 at both ends of the movable plate 114 to provide space for the movement of the movable plate 114. Air holes 109b are evenly provided on the movable plate 114 so that the airflow generated by the fan 204 when it is working carries the mist-like three-proof paint that drifts into the protective cover 104 and enters the interior of the box 108. The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the electric push rod 105 is retracted by operating the controller, and the L-shaped plate 106 is rotated backward to expose the placement plate 109. At this time, the circuit board is placed on the placement plate 109, and the electric push rod 105 is extended by operating the controller to drive the L-shaped plate 106 to rotate in the opposite direction to close the protective cover 104. At this time, the controller operates the electric push rod 111 to work, so that the nozzle 112 is at a suitable height. Then, the controller controls the delivery pump 101 and the motor 110 to work. The delivery pump 101 works to deliver the conformal coating inside the material box 103 to the connecting box 111b, and then sprays it out in a mist through the nozzle 112. At the same time, the motor 110 works to drive the screw 110a to rotate, so that the moving block 111a moves and drives the electric push rod 111 to move. Finally, the connecting box 111b and the nozzle 112 move to achieve the application of conformal coating to the circuit board.

[0027] Example 2 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that: the purification mechanism 2 includes multiple adhesion plates 202 disposed inside the housing 108 for adhering part of the conformal coating in the airflow. The lower wall inside the housing 108 has a perforation 108a. A fan 204 is fixedly disposed at the location of the perforation 108a corresponding to the lower wall of the housing 108. An activated carbon filter plate 207 is disposed at the location of the perforation 108a corresponding to the lower wall inside the housing 108. With the above arrangement, when the fan 204 works, the conformal coating moves in a serpentine manner with the airflow. During this process, the conformal coating will adhere to the adhesion plates 202 when it encounters them, which can reduce the content of conformal coating in the airflow. Finally, under the action of the activated carbon filter plate 207, the conformal coating is further adsorbed and filtered. Specifically, the front and rear ends of the lower wall of the adhesive plate 202 are provided with protruding strips 201 that are fixed to the box body 108, providing a platform for the adhesive plate 202. A guide groove 202a is opened on one side of the adhesive plate 202 to make the airflow move in a serpentine manner. The front and rear sides of the activated carbon filter plate 207 are symmetrically provided with L-shaped strips 208 that are fixed to the box body 108 to clamp and fix the activated carbon filter plate 207. The left wall of the box body 108 is connected to the box door 203 by a hinge. A maintenance groove is opened on the left wall of the box body 108 at the location of the box door 203. A handle lock 203a is fixed at the front end of the left wall of the box door 203. The box door 203 is opened by operating the handle lock 203a to expose the maintenance groove. The adhesive plate 202 is taken out and cleaned, and then the activated carbon filter plate 207 is taken out and replaced. Screw sleeves 206 are fixed at the four corners of the lower wall of the housing 108. The lower end of the screw sleeves 206 is threadedly connected to screw rods 205. The lower end of screw rods 205 is fixed with a base plate 205a. With the above arrangement, by operating the base plate 205a to rotate, the corresponding screw rods 205 will rotate, so that all four base plates 205a are in contact with the ground, thus making the whole plate conformal coating machine with safety protection device stably placed on the ground. Furthermore, the upper surface of the adhesive plate 202 may be covered with a replaceable adhesive layer to facilitate cleaning of the adhesive plate 202; The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: In the coating state, the controller controls the fan 204 to work. At this time, the outside air enters the interior of the protective cover 104 through the air inlet slot 104a, carries the mist-like conformal coating through the air hole 109b into the box 108, and then moves in a serpentine motion under the action of the adhesion plate 202. During the movement, some of the mist-like conformal coating comes into contact with the adhesion plate 202 and is adhered to the surface of the adhesion plate 202. Then, the airflow carries the mist-like conformal coating through the activated carbon filter plate 207 for further filtration. Finally, the filtered airflow passes through the fan 204 and is discharged to the outside.

[0028] It should be noted that all electrical components in this conformal coating machine with safety protection devices are electrically connected to the microcontroller in the controller via wires, and the microcontroller in the controller is electrically connected to an external power source via wires. Furthermore, both the electrical components and the controller in this conformal coating machine with safety protection devices can be purchased from the market or custom-made; no specific model is specified here. Additionally, the connector 105a in this conformal coating machine with safety protection devices is used in conjunction with the electric push rod 105 and is a dedicated connector 105a for the electric push rod, which is available with the purchase of the electric push rod; further details are omitted here.
