Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to the technical field of devices for preparing thermally conductive sheets, and in particular, to a device for preparing a thermally conductive sheet with graphene fibers in an oriented arrangement.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Big data, 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things have created increased demand for better performing power sources, which in turn, require more highly developed heat dissipation materials and components. In this regard, it is necessary to improve the heat transfer efficiency of thermal interface materials. Conventional thermally conductive sheets have been unable to meet the functional requirements. Thus, it is desirable to develop a new thermally conductive sheet with a higher thermal conductivity to meet the increasing heat dissipation requirements.
  • Current thermally conductive sheets are typically filled with a large amount of inorganic powder, which negatively impacts physical properties such as flexibility, toughness and elasticity of the pad. The thermal conductivities of traditional filler powders, such as alumina, aluminum nitride, boron nitride and others, are all less than 300 W/m·k, and thermally conductive sheets filled with such traditional filler powders generally have a thermal conductivity lower than 10 W/m·k. Furthermore, when having a thermal conductivity exceeding 8 W/m·k, the thermally conductive sheets have poor temperature resistance and stability. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop an improved device for preparing a thermally conductive sheet with improved thermal conductivity.

  • During the working process, the high-thermal conductivity mixture is first put into the first mold groove 2 of the first mold 1, and covered and pressed for a period of time by using the first mold cover 54, so that the high-thermal conductivity mixture is molded in the first mold groove 2 of the first mold 1 to form the first cuboid block 3. Then, the first cuboid block 3 is taken out of the first mold groove 2. After that, the first cuboid block 3 is put into the second mold groove 6 of the second mold for secondary molding to form the second elongated block 8. Then, the second elongated block 8 in the second mold is flipped upside down on the cutting table 26 by the flipping device, and the cutting table 26 cuts the second elongated block 8 along the length direction to form the third elongated blocks 9. Subsequently, the cutting table 26 cuts the third elongated block 9 along the length direction of the third elongated block 9 to form the fourth cuboid block 10.

In this way, the number of manual operations between the first mold 1, the second mold and the cutting table 26 is reduced, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the thermally conductive sheet.
  • As shown in FIGS. 5-10, the flipping device includes the flipping driving device 14, the sprocket 17, the first rotating shaft 22 and the flipping plate 20.
  • The flipping driving device 14 is fixed above the operating table 13 through the second fixed rod 25 standing on the upper surface of the operating table 13. The retractable end of the flipping driving device 14 is connected to the first connecting rod 15, and the other end of the first connecting rod 15 is connected to the chain 16. The end of the chain 16 away from the first connecting rod 15 is fixed to one of the gears in the circumferential direction of the sprocket 17.
  • The axial center of the sprocket 17 is connected to the first rotating shaft 22, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft 22 are fixed above the operating table 13 through the first fixed plate standing on the operating table 13.

  • The end of the first rotating shaft 22 adjacent to the second mold is provided with an extension portion, and the end of the extension portion away from the first fixed plate is connected to the flipping plate 20. The spring 19 is sleeved on the extension portion. One end of the spring 19 is fixed on the outer side of the first fixed plate, and the other end of the spring 19 is fixed on the flipping plate 20.
  • The end of the flipping plate 20 away from the spring 19 is connected to the clamping driving device 18, and the retractable end of the clamping driving device 18 is connected to the mold clamp 21. The mold clamp 21 is configured to clamp or release the second mold clamp 21.
  • During the working process, as shown in FIGS. 5-6, the flipping driving device 14 is first started. After the flipping driving device 14 works, the first connecting rod 15 moves toward the sprocket 17. The spring 19 is a torsion spring, and the torsion spring is linked with the first connecting rod 15 through the sprocket 17 and the chain 16. Once the first connecting rod 15 moves toward the sprocket 17, the torsion spring drives the flipping plate 20 to flip. When the flipping driving device 14 drives the first connecting rod 15 to retract completely, the lengths of the first connecting rod 15 and the chain 16 are the longest. When the flipping driving device 14 drives the first connecting rod 15 to extend, the chain 16 is released from the pulling of the flipping driving device 14 and rolls around the sprocket 17 under the force of the torsion spring. The sprocket 17 rotates on the first fixed rod 23 with the first rotating shaft 22, thereby flipping the flipping plate 20. The flipping plate 20 flips to drive the mold clamp 21 to flip, thereby realizing that the mold clamp 21 clamps the second mold and flips the second mold on the cutting table 26 for cutting the workpiece. The workpiece in the present invention is the high-thermal conductivity mixture used to prepare the thermally conductive sheet. The workpiece can be the first cuboid block 3, the second elongated block 8, the third elongated block 9, the fourth cuboid block 10, the fifth cuboid block 11, etc., which are molded by the first mold 1 or the second mold. Alternatively, the workpiece can also be a block formed by repeatedly molding the fifth cuboid block 11 in the first mold 1 and the second mold. The flipping driving device 14 is preferably a hydraulic cylinder or a linear driving device.
  • As shown in FIGS. 5-9, the mold clamp 21 includes the third connecting rod 32, the connecting table 33 and the clamping assembly. The connecting table 33 is configured to connect the clamping assembly and the third connecting rod 32. The end of the third connecting rod 32 away from the connecting table 33 is connected to the clamping driving device 18.
  • The clamping assembly is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting table 33 and is configured to clamp or release the second mold. The housing 37 is arranged outside the clamping assembly and the connecting table 33, and the housing 37 is configured to install the clamping assembly and the connecting table 33 as a whole.
  • The clamping assembly includes the first clamping block 29, the second clamping block 34 and the second connecting rod 31. The clamping head 28 is arranged at one end of the first clamping block 29, and the first movement groove 30 is arranged at the other end of the first clamping block 29. The second movement groove 36 is arranged at one end of the second clamping block 34, and the other end of the second clamping block 34 is movably connected to the connecting table 33.
  • The second connecting rod 31 is arranged in the first movement groove 30 and the second movement groove 36, and the second connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected in the first movement groove 30 and the second movement groove 36 by the connecting shaft 35.
  • Two connecting shafts 35 are arranged on each of the first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 34, and the connecting shafts 35 are fixed on the inner wall of the housing 37.
  • Specifically, one connecting shaft 35 is configured for the second connecting rod 31 to move in the first movement groove 30 and the second movement groove 36, and the other connecting shaft 35 is configured for the first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 34 to rotate around the connecting shaft 35. The connecting shaft 35 configured for the first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 34 to rotate is arranged adjacent to the connecting table 33.
  • The connecting pipe 41 is arranged at the end of the second clamping block 34 away from the second connecting rod 31. The second rotating shaft 38 is arranged in the connecting table 33. The connecting pipe 41 is rotatably sleeved on the circumferential outer wall of the second rotating shaft 38. The third movement groove 39 is arranged inside the connecting table 33, and the third movement groove 39 is configured for the second clamping block 34 to rotate on both sides of the connecting table 33.
  • During the working process, the driving end of the clamping driving device 18 is connected to the third connecting rod 32. The third connecting rod 32 is driven by the clamping driving device 18 to reciprocate, namely, the clamping assembly symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third connecting rod 32 is configured for driving the third connecting rod 32, so that the second mold is clamped by the clamping assembly.
  • When the third connecting rod 32 is pushed toward the clamping assembly, the clamping assembly is in a releasing state. When the third connecting rod 32 retracts toward the clamping driving device 18, the clamping assembly is in a clamping state.
  • During the clamping process, the third connecting rod 32 moves toward the clamping driving device 18. The first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 34 are both rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 37 through the connecting shaft 35, the second clamping block 34 and the connecting table 33 are movably connected, and the connecting table 33 and the third connecting rod 32 are fixedly connected. Therefore, when the third connecting rod 32 performs a clamping operation, the second connecting rod 31 moves in the first movement groove 30 of the first clamping block 29 and the second movement groove 36 of the second clamping block 34 toward the third connecting rod 32 through the connecting shaft 35. Meanwhile, the first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 34 are also linked with the connecting shaft 35 adjacent to the clamping head 28, so that the clamping heads 28 can move toward the axial center of the third connecting rod 32 separately for clamping.
  • During the releasing process, the third connecting rod 32 moves toward the clamping head 28, and the second clamping block 34 is first rotated on the connecting table 33 through the second rotating shaft 38, the third movement groove 39 and the connecting pipe 41. As a result, the second clamping block 34 rotates around the connecting shaft 35 adjacent to the connecting table 33. Meanwhile, the second clamping block 34 moves to drive the second connecting rod 31 to move accordingly. After the second connecting rod 31 is moved, the second clamping block 34 is linked between the first movement groove 30 of the first clamping block 29 and the movement groove of the second clamping block 34 to drive the first clamping block 29 to rotate through the connecting shaft 35 adjacent to the clamping head 28, so that the clamping head 28 releases the second mold. In this way, the second mold can be released and placed on the cutting table 26 or on one side of the first mold 1 for the molding operation, which greatly reduces the labor of manually repeatedly moving or taking the workpiece by workers, avoids the deformation of the workpiece in the process of holding by hand, and greatly improves the quality and production efficiency in the preparation process of the thermally conductive sheet.
  • The housing can also be directly connected to a motor housing to be integrally formed with the motor, so as to wrap and protect the third connecting rod, the connecting table, the first clamping block, the second clamping block and the second connecting rod, which facilitates the linkage between the third connecting rod, the connecting table, the first clamping block, the second clamping block and the second connecting rod to clamp the second mold. In this way, the second mold can be flipped, and then the workpiece in the second mold groove of the second mold is flipped upside down on the cutting plate, and the cutting table is easy to perform orientated cutting on the workpiece.
  • As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 10, the cutting table 26 includes the connecting rod assembly, the base 49 and the cutter head 48, and the lower surface of the base 49 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 24.
  • One end of the first slide rail 24 is connected to the cutting plate 27. The ninth connecting rod 52 is arranged on a side of the base 49 away from the cutting plate 27, and the ninth connecting rod 52 is configured to connect the driving device of the cutting table 26.
  • The third rotating shaft 42 penetrates the base 49 and is rotatably arranged at one end of the base 49 adjacent to the ninth connecting rod 52. One end of the third rotating shaft 42 is connected to the motor, and the other end of the third rotating shaft 42 is connected to one end of the fourth connecting rod 43. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to one end of the fifth connecting rod 44.
  • The other end of the fifth connecting rod 44 is rotatably connected to one end of the sixth connecting rod 45, and the other end of the sixth connecting rod 45 is connected to the eighth connecting rod 47.
  • The top of a side of the base 49 adjacent to the cutting plate 27 extends outward and is provided with the cutter head limiting table 50. The top of the base 49 is provided with the connecting rod limiting table 51.
  • The connecting rod limiting table 51 is a triangular structure. The seventh connecting rod 46 is rotatably arranged at the outside of an end of the triangular structure away from the base 49. The other end of the seventh connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the center of the sixth connecting rod 45.
  • The thermally conductive sheet prepared by the present invention is formed by repeatedly performing compression molding through the first mold 1 or the second mold and repeatedly performing cutting to finally improve the thermally conductive efficiency. Thus, it is very cumbersome to manually repeatedly mold and cut the workpiece. By using the clamping device to clamp the second mold, using the flipping device to displace and flip the second mold to the cutting table 26, and then using the cutting table 26 to cut the workpiece, the tedious manual reciprocating operation of the workpiece is eliminated.
  • During the specific working process, a sensor is arranged on the cutting table 26. When the sensor senses that the flipping device and the clamping device put the workpiece on the cutting table 26, the sensor transmits the signal to a controller. The controller activates the driving motor connected to the ninth connecting rod 52 to push the base 49 to approach the cutting plate 27 through the first slide rail 24. After the base 49 approaches the cutting plate 27, the driving motor is stopped, and the motor connected to the third rotating shaft 42 is started. In operation, the motor drives the third rotating shaft 42 to rotate. After the third rotating shaft 42 rotates on the base 49, the fourth connecting rod 43 fixedly connected to one end of the third rotating shaft 42 away from the motor is driven to rotate to drive the fifth connecting rod 44 movably connected to the fourth connecting rod 43 to move accordingly. The fifth connecting rod 44 moves to drive the sixth connecting rod 45 movably connected to the fifth connecting rod 44 to move. The sixth connecting rod 45 moves to drive the eighth connecting rod 47 fixedly connected to the sixth connecting rod 45 to move up and down. At the same time, in order to prevent the cutter head 48 from moving randomly when the eighth connecting rod 47 moves up and down, the connecting rod limiting table 51 is arranged on the top of the base 49. A rotating shaft is fixed on the connecting rod limiting table 51, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the seventh connecting rod 46. The other end of the seventh connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the center of the sixth connecting rod 45. In this way, the purpose of limiting the position of the sixth connecting rod 45 is realized, and the eighth connecting rod 47 can smoothly drive the cutter head 48 to cut the workpiece on the cutting plate 27. The cutter head limiting table 50 can facilitate reducing the displacement offset of the cutter head 48, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of cutting the workpiece on the cutting plate 27 using the cutting table 26.
  • As shown in FIG. 12, the backing plate 58 is arranged under the cutting plate 27, and the second slide rail 59 is arranged on the upper surface of the backing plate 58.
  • The rollers 57 are arranged at intervals at the lower surface of the cutting plate 27, and the rollers 57 reciprocate in the second slide rail 59.
  • The movement cavity 60 penetrates the center of the cutting plate 27. The rack plate 53 is arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the movement cavity 60, respectively. The ninth connecting rod 52 is configured as a threaded rod, and the base 49 is provided with a threaded hole adapted to the thread of the ninth connecting rod 52.
  • The end of the ninth connecting rod 52 away from the driving motor is rotatably connected to the fourth rotating shaft 55. The end of the fourth rotating shaft 55 away from the ninth connecting rod 52 is fixed to the rotating disc 56. The rotating disc 56 is provided with the meshing teeth 54, and the meshing teeth 54 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential outer wall of the rotating disc 56.
  • The distribution angle of the meshing teeth 54 on the circumferential outer wall of the rotating disc 56 is 100°-135°.
  • During the working process, the fourth rotating shaft 55 can be driven by the motor of the ninth connecting rod 52, or the fourth rotating shaft 55 is driven by a motor separately connected to the fourth rotating shaft 55. When a motor is separately configured for driving the fourth rotating shaft 55, the rotor end of the motor is connected to the fourth rotating shaft 55, and when the motor drives the rotor end, the fourth rotating shaft is driven to rotate. In this way, the meshing teeth of the rotating disc are meshed with the rack plates arranged on the upper wall and the lower wall of the movement cavity to enable the cutting plate to reciprocate above the backing plate. The speed of the motor can be set according to the cutting distance, and the specifications of the rack plate and the meshing teeth of the rotating disc can be set according to the cutting distance.
  • When the fourth rotating shaft 55 is driven by the driving motor of the ninth connecting rod 52, the ninth connecting rod 52 is a retractable connecting rod. The multi-connecting rod structure used for connecting the ninth connecting rod 52 is also provided with a slider and a slide groove, avoiding that the ninth connecting rod 52 fails to drive the rotating disc 56 when working due to the mutual driving between the various connecting rods. When the driving motor rotates clockwise, the driving motor drives the ninth connecting rod 52 to rotate. After the ninth connecting rod 52 rotates, the ninth connecting rod 52 drives the rotating disc 56 to rotate. After the rotating disc 56 rotates, the meshing teeth 54 on the circumferential outer wall of the rotating disc 56 rotates accordingly with the rotating disc 56. When the meshing teeth 54 rotates to the top of the rotating disc 56 and are meshed with the rack plate 53 on the upper side of the movement cavity 60, the cutting plate 27 is driven to move to the left. When the meshing teeth 54 rotates to the bottom of the rotating disc 56 and are meshed with the rack plate 53 on the lower side of the movement cavity 60, the cutting plate 27 is driven to move to the right. In this way, the cutting plate 27 can move back and forth above the backing plate 58. The roller 57 on the cutting plate 27 moves on the second slide rail 59 above the backing plate 58 along with the change in the movement of the rack plate 53 and the meshing teeth 54 on the rotating disc 56, which greatly improves the work efficiency of repeatedly cutting the thermally conductive sheet in the manufacturing process. Additionally, the inconsistency of cutting accuracy caused by manual operation of workers is further reduced, thereby greatly improving the production quality and efficiency of the thermally conductive sheet.
