Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate oiling, and in particular to an oiling equipment for automatic oiling and a method for using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] After the holes are filled, oil (semi-liquid medium such as resin ink or copper paste) is applied again to the surface of the plate to compensate for defects such as dents and voids that occur after the oiling process.

[0003] Currently, artificial oiling is still the mainstream in the industry, and there are some problems and shortcomings. (1) Uniformity problems: Since artificial oiling is done manually, the uniformity of the oiling may vary depending on the operator, and the oiling may be insufficient, resulting in defects after cutting, requiring rework. (2) Oiling efficiency: The time it takes for oiling varies depending on the oiler, and the plate needs to be removed, turned over, and oiled again, so artificial oiling directly affects the production efficiency of the product. (3) Oiling effect: If the artificial oiling effect is not ideal, if the amount of oiling is insufficient, the compensation needs cannot be met; if the amount of oiling is too much, the ink will contaminate the equipment or cannot be wiped off cleanly, so multiple oiling and scraping are required. (4) Cost issues: With artificial oiling, it is difficult to evaluate the amount of oil used, and the amount of oil used varies depending on the worker, which can result in high oiling costs. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] Preferably, a position limiting block is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the mounting rail.

[0011] A method of using an automatic oiling oiling device, comprising the steps of: (1) A step of filling holes in a plate material, in which production parameters are set for the filling equipment based on a wide range of parameters of the plate material, such as the hole diameter, plate thickness, aspect ratio, and plate material dimensions, to fill the holes. (2) A cutting step after hole filling, in which the relevant parameters required for cutting after filling the holes in the plate material are set based on the reference parameters of the plate material before filling the holes, oiling is performed before cutting according to the requirements of the process, and cutting is performed by oiling the plate material from the front and rear. (3) A baking and grinding step. After the plate is put into the baking box, parameters are set, the plate is baked, the resin is baked and hardened, and after the baking and hardening is completed, the plate is polished, and the hardened resin ink medium on the surface is polished and detected, after which the plate can be put into the next process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Hereinafter, the automatic oiling oiling equipment and its use method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in order to more specifically describe the embodiments, the following embodiments are the most suitable or preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art may adopt other alternative methods for some known technologies, and the drawings are merely for more specifically describing the embodiments, and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that, although an embodiment referred to in the specification as "one embodiment," "an embodiment," "an example embodiment," "some embodiments," etc. may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, each embodiment does not necessarily include that particular feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a particular feature, structure, or characteristic is described with reference to an embodiment, it should be understood that implementing that feature, structure, or characteristic in combination with other embodiments (even if not explicitly described) is within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0020] Typically, terms may be understood, at least in part, by context. For example, depending at least in part on the context, the term "one or more" as used herein may be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic in the singular sense, or may be used to describe a combination of features, structures, or characteristics in the plural sense. Also, the term "based on" may not necessarily be intended to convey an exclusive group of elements, but instead may be at least in part on the context, and other elements may be present that are not necessarily expressly recited.

[0021] It is understood that the meanings of "on...", "on..." and "above..." in this disclosure are to be interpreted in their broadest sense, i.e., "on..." does not only mean "directly on" something, but also "on" something where there are intermediate features or layers between them, and "on..." and "above..." do not only mean "on" or "located above" something, but also "on" something where there are no intermediate features or layers between them.

[0022] Additionally, spatial terms such as "below...", "below...", "lower", "above...", "upper" and the like may be used herein for convenience of description to describe the relationship of one element or feature to one or more other elements or features as shown in the drawings. The spatial terms are intended to cover different orientations in use or operation of the facility other than the orientation depicted in the drawings. The facility may be oriented in other ways and the spatial descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted similarly.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, this is an oiling equipment for automatic oiling, and includes two mounting seats 1, one in the front and one in the back. A clamp support seat 2 is fixedly connected between the two mounting seats 1. A plurality of clamp cylinders 3 are attached to the clamp support seat 2. A post-oil application assembly 4 is installed on the left side of the mounting seat 1, and a pre-oil application assembly 5 is installed on the right side of the mounting seat 1.

[0024] The front and rear oiling module can realize the automatic oiling function in various ways, such as, but not limited to, linear reciprocating motion, linear bidirectional reciprocating motion, and the front and rear oiling module motion assembly may include, but is not limited to, various assemblies such as servo modules, stepping motors, asynchronous motors, governor motors, manipulators, and the like.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, in this embodiment, the post-oil assembly 4 has the same structure as the pre-oil assembly 5. The post-oil assembly 4 includes a mounting rail 6. A drag chain mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting rail 6 by a connecting plate 7. A protective drag chain 9 is attached to the drag chain mounting plate 8. A movable plate 11 is installed on the underside of the mounting rail 6 by a front-rear drive assembly 10. An oil pump bracket 12 and a telescopic cylinder 13 are fixedly connected to the underside of the movable plate 11. The other end of the protective drag chain 9 is fixedly connected to the oil pump bracket 12. An oil application nozzle 14 is attached to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 13. An oil application pump 15 is attached to one end of the oil pump bracket 12. The output end of the oil application pump 15 is connected to the oil application nozzle 14.

[0026] In this way, the ink is automatically pressurized by the oiling pump 15. During the automatic pressurization process, the pressure sensor detects the actual ink pressure and checks the actual ink pressure. If the pressure exceeds the normal range, the pressurization is automatically stopped to ensure normal oiling.

[0027] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the front-rear drive assembly 10 includes a motor 1001 fixedly connected to the front of the mounting rail 6, a cavity 1002 is opened inside the mounting rail 6, a magnet block 1003 is slidably connected inside the cavity 1002, the movable plate 11 is slidably connected to the underside of the mounting rail 6 and made of an iron material, the mounting rail 6 is made of an iron-free material, a first pulley 1004 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1001, a second pulley 1006 is rotatably connected to the first pulley 1004 via a belt 1005, a lead screw 1007 is fixedly connected to the back of the second pulley 1006, the lead screw 1007 passes through the magnet block 1003 and is rotatably connected to the back inner wall of the cavity 1002, and the lead screw 1007 is screwed into the magnet block 1003.

[0028] In this way, the first pulley 1004 is strongly linked to rotate, and as the first pulley 1004 rotates, the second pulley 1006 and the lead screw 1007 are linked to rotate by the belt 1005, and as the lead screw 1007 rotates, the magnet block 1003 can be moved and linked, and as the magnet block 1003 moves, the movable plate 11, the telescopic cylinder 13 and the oil nozzle 14 can be moved in conjunction with each other, making it easy to oil the plate material.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in this embodiment, sliders 1008 are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the magnet block 1003 , and a sliding groove 1009 that cooperates with the slider 1008 is formed on the inner wall of the cavity 1002 .

[0030] In this way, the movement of the magnet block 1003 is guided, and the magnet block 1003 is prevented from rotating following the lead screw 1007.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, in this embodiment, position limiting blocks 1010 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the underside of the mounting rail 6, thereby preventing the moving position of the movable plate 11 from being too far from the mounting rail 6, thereby improving safety.

[0032] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, this is realized through parameter setting. For example, the oiling speed of the front and rear oiling module is set to 150mm / s, and the oiling pressure is set to 9-12bar. After setting, when producing in automatic mode, the ink can be automatically oiled from the tank through assemblies such as piping, valve body, oil discharge pipe, etc., and each parameter of oiling includes the above ink pressure and oiling speed. For example, the oiling speed of the front and rear oiling module is set to 150mm / s, and the oiling pressure is set to 9-12bar. By setting the equipment parameters, the pressure unit of the oiling effect "bar" can be finely controlled, the larger the value, the higher the pressure. When the oiling pressure is set high, the oiling speed slows down and the oiling amount increases, and conversely, the oiling amount decreases. The oiling pressure and oiling speed are set, and the oiling state is striped, and the width of the normal oiling amount is about 1-2cm, which eliminates various uncertainties of artificial oiling and successfully realizes automatic oiling that solves problems such as uniformity, efficiency, effect, and cost of artificial oiling. This meets the need for a fully automatic hole filling process and breaks through the problem of artificial oil application.

[0033] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for using an oiling equipment for automatic oiling, comprising the steps of: (1) A step of filling holes in a plate material, in which production parameters are set for the filling equipment based on a wide range of parameters of the plate material, such as the hole diameter, plate thickness, aspect ratio, and plate material dimensions, to fill the holes.

(3) A baking and grinding step. After the plate is put into the baking box, parameters are set, the plate is baked, the resin is baked and hardened, and after the baking and hardening is completed, the plate is polished, and the hardened resin ink medium on the surface is polished and detected, after which the plate can be put into the next process.

[0034] In this embodiment, before filling the holes in the plate material, the plate material that needs to be filled is inspected to ensure that there are no abnormalities in the material, and the plate material is pre-baked as a pre-treatment for filling the holes, and any moisture or chemicals in the holes in the plate material are baked and evaporated according to the principle of thermal evaporation, ensuring that there is no risk of moisture or chemicals being present in the holes.

[0035] In this embodiment, while performing leveling after filling the holes, oiling is performed at the front and rear tops of the plate material by linear reciprocating motion from left to right or from right to left to achieve filling compensation of the resin ink after leveling.

[0036] In this embodiment, if a defect in filling holes is found after the inspection of the plate material after baking and polishing is completed, the plate material needs to be reworked or discarded.

[0037] The present invention includes all alternatives, modifications, equivalent methods and solutions made within the scope of the essence of the present invention. In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, specific details are described in the following preferred embodiments of the present invention, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without these detailed descriptions. In addition, well-known methods, processes, procedures, elements, circuits, etc. are not described in detail so as not to unnecessarily confuse the essence of the present invention.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art may make some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
