Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application.

In the production process of the conductive adhesive key, the whole blocks/pieces of silica gel raw materials with various colors are manually cut, and then the cut silica gel is manually placed on the bearing substrate in sequence, and then the next vulcanization process is carried out. The manual work is needed to participate in the process of preparing the materials, so that the labor cost is increased and the production efficiency is not high.

In order to solve the problems, the applicant designs an automatic silicon cement feeding machine, in the process of preparing materials by conductive adhesive keys, automatic equipment is adopted to realize automatic cutting of large silicon cement raw materials with various same or different colors, and cut silicon cements with different sizes and specifications are automatically arranged at corresponding positions on a bearing substrate, so that the labor cost is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

The scheme is further illustrated by the following examples:

as shown in fig. 1 to 7, the automatic silica gel feeding machine 1000 includes: the feeding device comprises a material placing table 100, a feeding device 200 and a translation mechanism 300 for driving the feeding device 200 to translate.

The material placing table 100 is provided with a material placing area 112 for placing the whole or whole silica gel raw material before cutting and a material loading area 111 for placing the supporting substrate 900 (see fig. 3).

And the material placing area 112 at least comprises a first material placing area 113 and a second material placing area 114.

The feeding device 200 is provided with a feeding cutter 210 for cutting and picking up silica gel mud.

The translation mechanism 300 is installed on the material placing table 100.

The material placing table 100 is further provided with a cleaning area 110 for cleaning the cutter 211.

The shape and size of the silica gel paste picked up by the loading tool 210 are different, and correspond to the shape of a blank portion 2110 (described later) provided in the cutter 211 of the loading tool 210.

Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the material placing area 112 includes a first material placing area 113 for placing a silica gel raw material of a first color and a second material placing area 114 for placing a silica gel raw material of a second color.

As shown in fig. 10, several kinds of silicon cement are placed on the support substrate 900, including a first silicon cement 901 and a second silicon cement 902. First silica gel mud 901 and second silica gel mud 902 are graininess, appearance, size diverse, form after the vulcanization and supply the remote controller button that the finger abdomen pressed in order to control electronic equipment.

Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the first silica gel 901 is, for example, a silica gel raw material of a first color, and the second silica gel 902 is, for example, a silica gel raw material of a second color. The first color is a different color than the second color.

It is to be understood that the respective colors of the first silica gel paste 901 and the second silica gel paste 902 do not correspond to the first color and the second color. For example, in another modification, as an alternative, the first silica gel mortar 901 is, for example, a silica gel mortar raw material of a second color, and the second silica gel mortar 902 is, for example, a silica gel mortar raw material of a first color.

As shown in fig. 10, the silicon cement picked up by the feeding tool 210 is placed at a designated position of the supporting substrate 900. The designated position is determined according to the key arrangement of the remote controller.

The material placing area 112 at least includes a first material placing area 113 and a second material placing area 114, and is used for placing silica gel raw materials (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as raw materials) with different colors, such as green, red, blue, and the like. It should be noted that the material placing area 112 may also be provided with more than two material placing areas, and the number of the material placing areas may be determined according to the color type of the silica gel raw material.

In this embodiment, the feeding tool 210 includes a first feeding tool 201 and a second feeding tool 202, and the cross sections of the silica gel block cut by the first feeding tool 201 are different from the cross sections of the silica gel block cut by the second feeding tool 202. In addition, it should be noted that, in one embodiment, a set of loading knives 210 of the loading device 200 can cut at least one size of silica gel block. Therefore, if the loading device 200 completes the cutting of the silica gel blocks with different volume sizes, different sets of loading cutters 210 can be provided.

Meanwhile, the feeding cutter 210 comprises a pressing device 212, a mounting plate 213, a cutter 211 for cutting the material, a knife rest assembly 214 for mounting the cutter 211, a material pushing device 2111 for separating the material from the cutter 211, a material pushing driving device 215 for driving the material pushing device 2111 to move, and a separating device 216 for separating the cutter 211 from the material.

And, the mounting plate 213 is mounted on the hold-down device 212. The pusher drive 215 is mounted on the mounting plate 213 and the carriage assembly 214 is mounted on the mounting plate 213. The pushing device 2111 is disposed on the pushing drive device 215, and the pushing device 2111 can slide relative to the mounting plate 213. In addition, the cutter 211 is mounted to the carriage assembly 214 by a cutter clamp 2113.

The pusher 2111 is provided with a vent passage 2112 (see fig. 7) connected to an air pump (not shown). Meanwhile, the cutter 211 is provided with a blank port 2110. Further, the separation device 216 includes a separation cylinder 217 and a separation push rod 218. In this embodiment, the pushing device 212 and the pushing drive device 215 are both air cylinders.

When the loading device 200 takes the material, the pressing device 212 is driven downwards to drive the mounting plate 213 to move downwards, and the cutter 211 moves downwards along with the mounting plate 213 to cut the material because the cutter 211 is mounted on the mounting plate 213 through the cutter clamp 2113 and the tool rest assembly 214. Since the hollow portion 2110 is provided in the cutter 211, after the cutter 211 cuts the material, the cut material is left in the hollow portion 2110. At this point, the material device 200 completes the cutting action of the silicon cement material.

After the cutting knife 211 finishes cutting, the pressing device 212 moves upwards, and meanwhile, the separating cylinder 217 drives the separating push rod 218 to move downwards to separate the cutting knife 211 from the materials. At this time, the cut silica gel material is left in the empty part 2110 of the cutter 211 and moves along with the cutter 211. At this point, the material device 200 completes the action of picking up the silica gel mud material.

When the loading device 200 loads materials, the pushing device 2111 is driven by the pushing drive device 215 to move down, and the cutting material left in the empty part 2110 of the cutter 211 is pushed out of the cutter 211. Meanwhile, the air pump blows air to the cutter 211 through the air passage 2112, and blows out the cutting material left in the empty part 2110 of the cutter 211, so as to form the first silica gel 901 and the second silica gel 902. By the air blowing mode, material blocking caused by the fact that the pushing device 2111 does not move downwards in place can be prevented, or the cutting material is prevented from seriously deforming due to overlarge pushing force of the pushing device 2111.

In this embodiment, the material placing table 100 is provided with a material placing area 112 for placing silica gel raw materials and a material loading area 111 for placing and supporting the substrate 900, and the material placing area 112 at least includes a first material placing area 113 and a second material placing area 114. It should be noted that the number of the material placing areas 112 can be reasonably determined according to the color type of the silica gel material.

Meanwhile, specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the cleaning section 110 is also provided on the material placing table 100, and the cleaning section 110 is provided with a sponge block (not numbered). When the cutter 211 is placed in the sponge block in the cleaning area 110, the air pump blows air to the cutter 211 through the air passage 2112, so that the residual silica gel mud waste in the air opening portion 2110 is blown out, and then the waste silica gel mud attached to the inner wall and the outer wall of the cutter 211 is cleaned.

In another modification, the cleaning region 110 may be disposed in another or special area outside the material placing table 100 as an alternative.

In the actual working process of the automatic silica gel feeding machine 1000, firstly, the supporting substrate 900 is manually placed in the feeding area 111, and simultaneously, silica gel materials with the same or different colors are manually placed in the first material placing area 113 and the second material placing area 114.

After the material is prepared, the feeding device 200 moves to the first material placing area 113 through the translation mechanism 300, and the feeding device 200 cuts and picks up the silica gel mud placed in the first material placing area 113. Then, the loading device 200 is moved to the loading area 111 by the translation mechanism 300, and the silica gel paste cut from the first material placing area 113 is placed on the supporting substrate 900. At this time, the feeding device 200 completes the feeding process of the silica gel paste with one color and one specification. Subsequently, the feeding device 200 is reset to the cleaning area 110, and the cutter 211 of the feeding device 200 is cleaned.

After the cutter 211 is cleaned, the feeding device 200 repeats the above cutting operation, cuts and picks up the silica gel paste placed in the second material placing area 114, and then places the silica gel paste on the feeding area 111. Thereby accomplishing the feeding of silica gel mud with another color and specification.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the same group of feeding tools 210 in the feeding device 200 can cut silica gel materials with the same or different colors, and the cross sections and the shapes of the cut silica gel blocks are the same. For example, the first feeding tool 201 may cut the silica gel material in the first material placing region 113, or may cut the silica gel material in the second material placing region 114. But the cross section, the shape and the volume of the material cut by the first feeding cutter 201 are the same. Therefore, in this embodiment, to cut the material in the first material placing area 113 or the second material placing area 114 into another volume size of silica gel block, the second feeding tool 202 different from the first feeding tool 201 is required to be used for cutting, so as to complete the feeding operation of the silica gel blocks with different volume sizes.

In summary, the feeding device 200 can be moved to a specific position on the material placing table 100 by the translation mechanism 300, cut and transfer the corresponding silica gel material, and place the silica gel material on the supporting substrate. Thereby avoiding manual participation, further saving labor cost and improving working efficiency.

As shown in fig. 5, the feeding knife 210 includes at least one pair of cutting knives 211. In this embodiment, the cutters 211 have 10 pairs, and the distance between the cutters 211 is adjustable, so that the cutting and the operation of the silica gel paste can be conveniently performed simultaneously. It should be noted that the number of the cutting blades 211 can be determined according to the number of the supporting substrates processed at the same time in practical application, so as to realize mass production.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the translation mechanism 300 includes a transverse driving device 310 and a longitudinal driving device 320. The transverse driving device 310 includes a transverse driving motor 311, a transverse screw 312, a transverse guide rail 313 and a transverse mounting 314. The longitudinal driving device 320 includes a longitudinal driving motor 321, a longitudinal screw 322, a longitudinal rail 323, and a longitudinal mounting base 324. The longitudinal driving device 320 is mounted on the transverse driving device 310 through the transverse mounting seat 314. The feeding device 200 is mounted on the longitudinal driving device 320 through the longitudinal mounting seat 324.

When the transverse driving motor 311 works, the transverse mounting seat 314 drives the longitudinal driving device 320 to move along the transverse guide rail 313 under the transmission of the transverse screw 312. When the longitudinal driving motor 321 works, the longitudinal mounting base 324 drives the feeding device 200 to move along the longitudinal guide rail 323. Through the mutual matching drive of the transverse driving device 310 and the longitudinal driving device 320, the feeding device 200 can be enabled to translate on the plane of the material placing table 100, so that the feeding device 200 is assisted to complete the work of cutting and conveying silica gel mud.

It should be noted that the automatic silica gel feeding machine 1000 further includes a control center (not shown in the figure) for controlling the operations of the feeding device 200 and the translation mechanism 300. The control process of the control center is described above, and is not described herein. Meanwhile, the placement of the silica gel mud material on the material placement table 100 is manually completed, and the processed bearing substrate is manually transferred to the next procedure for processing.

The control center can be realized by adopting the prior art, and is not described in detail.
