Description

Waterproof coating method, device and terminal

Technical field

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of coating processes, and in particular, to a waterproof coating method, device, and terminal.

Background technique

With the rapid increase in the performance of terminals such as mobile phones and the ever-refreshed demand from the market, users are increasingly demanding waterproofing of terminals. For example, if the mobile phone is not specially processed, the earphone hole of the mobile phone, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) hole, the side key and the card tray are easy to enter the water, and the water in the mobile phone easily causes the mobile phone to malfunction. Mobile phone manufacturers usually set a waterproof label on the water inlet path of the mobile phone. The waterproof label will turn red when it is in contact with water. It is usually determined whether the mobile phone is in water by detecting whether the waterproof label in the mobile phone is red.

At present, in order to improve the waterproof performance of mobile phones, there is an increasing demand for vacuum coating of mobile phones. However, the coating of the whole machine will cause the waterproof label inside the mobile phone to be coated with a waterproof film. After the waterproof label is coated with a waterproof film, the waterproof label will not be easily discolored due to the function of the waterproof membrane after the mobile phone enters the water, and the waterproof label becomes red after the coating of the whole machine. It takes 20 minutes or even 1 hour. This may cause the waterproof label to fail after a small amount of water in the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone is sent to the service network due to the water intrusion, and the service network cannot identify the cause of the failure. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method to solve the above problem.

detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention provides a waterproof coating method, device and terminal, which can avoid the problem that the terminal water inlet is difficult to identify due to the coating of the whole machine.

Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the waterproof coating method of the present invention includes:

101. Blocking one or more easily accessible water holes of the terminal by using the first preset device to reduce the amount of the waterproof film coated on the waterproof label in the terminal and/or the thickness of the waterproof film to be plated during the coating process. ;

In a specific implementation, the first preset device may be a rubber/plastic sleeve, a rubber plug, or the like. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet, and the like. Easy access holes such as: earphone jacks, card trays, side keying, Universal Serial Bus (USB) holes, etc.

102. Perform complete coating treatment on the terminal.

In the specific implementation, the terminal can be placed in a vacuum environment for coating treatment of the whole machine. In the process of coating, since one or more easy-to-feed holes of the terminal are blocked, the plating on the waterproof label in the terminal can be reduced. The amount of the waterproof film and/or the thickness of the water-repellent film to be plated. When the terminal enters the water, the waterproof label will quickly change color due to the amount of the waterproof membrane plated on the waterproof label and/or the thickness of the waterproof membrane to be plated, so that it is easy to identify whether the terminal is in the water.

Experiments have shown that after the whole machine is coated with the coating method provided by the present invention, if water is introduced into the terminal, the waterproof label will turn red within five minutes. However, if the terminal is completely coated by the existing coating method, if the water is introduced into the terminal, the time required for the waterproof label to turn red is more than twenty minutes. Therefore, the present invention can avoid the problem that the terminal water inlet is difficult to recognize due to the coating of the entire machine.

Further, after the whole machine coating process is performed on the terminal, the first preset device blocked in the water inlet hole may be taken out, and then the waterproof film coated on the waterproof label in the terminal is destroyed by the second preset device. Specifically, the second preset device may be a sharp device, such as a probe, which can extend the probe from the easy-inlet hole into the terminal, poke the waterproof label attached to the water inlet path, thereby damaging the plating on the waterproof label. Waterproof film to further shorten the time required for the waterproof label to turn red when it meets water.

In addition, in the production process, the product needs to be aged. The aging needs to be carried out separately on the aging frame of the aging room. The coating needs to be carried out in a separate coating room. The two processes are not directly assembled in the terminal. In the above, it is necessary to go to the aging room and the coating room for operation. In the existing treatment method, the aging and coating process are separately inserted into other processes, for example, the production process is: aging - product comprehensive inspection - paste protective film - coating, This will cause the production process to be interrupted twice, which affects the production efficiency. In this embodiment, the aging treatment and the waterproof coating can be used as adjacent processes, thereby reducing the number of interruptions in the production process and improving production efficiency. Moreover, when the whole machine is coated, the terminal needs to be placed in a vacuum environment, and vacuuming may cause potential damage to the device in the terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the process of comprehensively inspecting the product may be placed on the waterproof coating. After the process, defective products were found at the same time.

In a specific embodiment, for example, the ordering of the several processes may be: aging - waterproof coating - comprehensive inspection of the product, of course, before the aging process, may also include other production processes; Between the coating process and the product comprehensive inspection process, other production processes may be included, and other production processes such as audio detection, screen detection, and the like are detected.
