Detailed Description

The following is a description of the embodiments of the present disclosure relating to a "coating system and a moisturizing device for coating structure" by specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present disclosure from the disclosure of the present disclosure. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications and various changes in detail, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The drawings of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be drawn to scale. The following embodiments will further explain the related art of the present invention in detail, but the disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used primarily to distinguish one element from another. In addition, the term "or" as used herein should be taken to include any one or combination of more of the associated listed items as the case may be.

First embodiment

First, referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 and 2 are schematic views of a coating system according to an embodiment of the invention. The invention provides an application system S and a moisturizing device 2 of an application structure 12 of the application system S. For example, the moisturizing device 2 can be applied to the coating structure 12 for coating the highly volatile coating material L1, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the moisturizing device 2 can be used in other systems, and the present invention is not limited to the application of the moisturizing device 2. It should be noted that, the main structure of the coating system S will be described first, and the components of the moisturizing device 2 will be described later.

In view of the above, referring back to fig. 1 and 2, the coating system S may include: an application device 1 and a moisture retention device 2, the moisture retention device 2 can be disposed adjacent to the application device 1. The coating device 1 may include a driving mechanism 11 and a coating structure 12 disposed on the driving mechanism 11. Further, the driving mechanism 11 can drive the coating structure 12 to move back and forth between a coating position and a moisture maintaining position, so that the coating structure 12 can coat the coating material L1 on the object K to be coated disposed on the carrying device 3 at the coating position. At the same time, it also enables the applicator structure 12 to be placed on the moisturizing device 2 while in the moisturizing position to maintain the degree of wetness of the coating material L1 on the applicator structure 12. For example, the coating material L1 may be a colloid or a sol, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 and 4 are schematic views illustrating a use state of the coating structure and the moisture-retaining device according to the first embodiment of the invention, respectively. As shown in fig. 3, after the coating structure 12 coats the coating material L1 on the object K to be coated, the driving mechanism 11 can move the coating structure 12 to above the moisturizing device 2. Next, as shown in fig. 4, after the coating structure 12 is moved above the moisturizing device 2, the driving mechanism 11 may move the coating structure 12 to the moisturizing region P on the moisturizing device 2 to maintain the wetting degree of the coating material L1 on the coating structure 12. In other words, since the coating material L1 is generally volatilized or evaporated to be dried, the volatilized or evaporated coating material L1 is dried on the coating structure 12 to form adhesive residue, and further blocks a glue outlet (not numbered) of the coating structure 12, thereby affecting the coating quality of the coating material L1 (such as but not limited to a colloid). Therefore, in order to avoid the formation of the residual glue, the glue outlet of the coating structure 12 may be placed or abutted against the moisturizing device 2 to utilize the characteristics of the moisturizing device 2 to prevent the coating material L1 on the coating structure 12 from volatilizing or evaporating to dry.

Next, referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a moisturizing device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI of fig. 4, and the components of the moisturizing device 2 will be further described below. In detail, the moisturizing device 2 can include a containing groove 21 and a liquid absorption unit 22 disposed in the containing groove 21. The receiving cavity 21 may include a receiving space 210 for receiving a liquid L2, for example, the liquid L2 may be a solution, a colloid, or a sol, which is not limited herein. Further, in one embodiment, the substance of the liquid L2 may be identical to the substance of the coating material L1, so that when the coating structure 12 is placed on the moisture retention area P of the moisture retention device 2, not only the moisture level of the coating material L1 on the coating structure 12 can be maintained, but also the characteristics of the coating material L1 are not changed. However, in other embodiments, the substance of the liquid L2 may be different from the substance of the coating material L1, and the invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the liquid L2 is not limited to the liquid L2 and the coating material L1 being the same as long as the wetting degree of the coating material L1 is maintained and the properties of the coating material L1 are not changed.

Further, the liquid absorption unit 22 may be disposed in the accommodating space 210, and the liquid absorption unit 22 may include a first surface 2201 and a second surface 2202 corresponding to the first surface 2201. The first surface 2201 of the liquid absorption unit 22 may be immersed in the liquid L2, and the second surface 2202 of the liquid absorption unit 22 may have a moisturizing region P on which the coating structure 12 is disposed. Thereby, the liquid L2 can be moved from the first surface 2201 to the moisturizing region P of the second surface 2202 of the liquid absorbing unit 22 by utilizing the capillary phenomenon. Therefore, when the glue outlet (not numbered) of the coating structure 12 is placed or abutted on the moisturizing region P of the moisturizing device 2, the coating material L1 on the coating structure 12 can be prevented from drying due to too fast evaporation speed or evaporation speed.

As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, for example, according to the present invention, the liquid absorption unit 22 may include a first absorption layer 221 and a second absorption layer 222 disposed on the first absorption layer 221, the first surface 2201 may be disposed on the first absorption layer 221, the second surface 2202 may be disposed on the second absorption layer 222, and the material of the first absorption layer 221 is different from the material of the second absorption layer 222. However, in other embodiments, the material of the first adsorption layer 221 and the material of the second adsorption layer 222 may be the same. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, only one of the first adsorption layer 221 and the second adsorption layer 222 may be provided, or a third adsorption layer (not shown) or a fourth adsorption layer (not shown) may be further provided, and the number of the adsorption layers of the liquid absorption unit 22 is not limited in the present invention. In addition, although only the first surface 2201 of the first adsorption layer 221 of the liquid absorption unit 22 is shown to be immersed in the liquid L2, in other embodiments, the second adsorption layer 222 may be immersed in the liquid L2, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, the absorption force of the first adsorption layer 221 may be greater than the absorption force of the second adsorption layer 222, the absorption force of the first adsorption layer may be equal to the absorption force of the second adsorption layer 222, or the absorption force of the first adsorption layer 221 may be less than the absorption force of the second adsorption layer 222, which is not limited thereto. Preferably, in the present invention, the absorption force of the first adsorption layer 221 may be greater than that of the second adsorption layer 222. For example, the pores of the first adsorption layer 221 may be larger than the pores of the second adsorption layer 222, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the material of the first absorption layer 221 may be sponge or foam, and the material of the second absorption layer 222 may be fiber cloth or non-woven fabric, but the invention is not limited thereto.

For example, for the present invention, the first adsorption layer 221 may have a first thickness T1, the second adsorption layer 222 may have a second thickness T2, the first thickness T1 of the first adsorption layer 221 may be greater than the second thickness T2 of the second adsorption layer 222, the first thickness T1 of the first adsorption layer may be equal to the second thickness T2 of the second adsorption layer 222, or the first thickness T1 of the first adsorption layer 221 may be less than the second thickness T2 of the second adsorption layer 222, which is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6 again, for example, the accommodating groove 21 may further include: a slot 211 and a cover 212 disposed on the slot 211, the accommodating space 210 can be located between the slot 211 and the cover 212, and the cover 212 has an opening 2120 corresponding to the coating structure 12. In addition, the shape of the opening 2120 of the cover 212 may be similar to the contour of the glue outlet of the coating structure 12, so that a portion of the coating structure 12 may be placed on the moisture-retaining region P through the opening 2120. In other words, the glue outlet of the application structure 12 may be placed or abut on the moisturizing region P of the moisturizing device 2 through the opening 2120, i.e., the glue outlet of the application structure 12 may be placed or abut on the second surface 2202 of the liquid absorption unit 22 through the opening 2120.

It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the groove 211 may include a first abutting portion 2111 and a second abutting portion 2112, the liquid absorption unit 22 may abut against the first abutting portion 2111, and the first surface 2201 of the liquid absorption unit 22 may be immersed in the liquid L2. Thereby, the liquid absorption unit 22 can control the position of the liquid absorption unit 22 with respect to the liquid L2 located in the groove body 211 by the abutment of the first abutment portion 2111. In addition, the cover 212 may abut against the second abutting portion 2112, so that the liquid absorption unit 22 only exposes the moisturizing region P relative to the opening 2120, and the volatilization or evaporation speed of the liquid L2 in the containing groove 21 can be reduced.

Second embodiment

First, referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a moisturizing device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a functional block diagram of the moisturizing device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 7 and fig. 8 and fig. 6, the biggest difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the moisturizing device 2 provided by the second embodiment further includes a sensing unit 23, a liquid filling unit 24 and a control unit 25. Therefore, the sensing unit 23 can be used to detect the residual amount of the liquid L2 in the accommodating groove 21, and when the sensing unit 23 detects that the residual amount of the liquid L2 is lower than a preset threshold, the control unit 25 can output an actuating signal to the liquid filling unit 24 to fill the supplementary liquid L3 into the accommodating space 210. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the sensing unit 23 is not provided, but the control unit determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed, and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 25 may output an actuating signal to the liquid filling unit 24 to fill the supplemental liquid L3 in the accommodating space 210, which is not limited in the present invention. It should be noted that the other configurations of the coating system S and the moisturizing device 2 of the coating structure 12 provided in the second embodiment are similar to those of the previous embodiments, and are not repeated herein.

In detail, the control unit 25 may be coupled to the sensing unit and the liquid filling unit 24, so that the control unit 25 can receive and/or transmit signals to the sensing unit 23 or the liquid filling unit 24. It should be noted that the coupling in the present invention can be a direct connection, an indirect connection, a wired connection or a wireless connection, or a direct electrical connection or an indirect electrical connection, which is not limited to the present invention.

As mentioned above, the sensing unit 23 can be disposed in the groove body 211 of the accommodating groove 21 to detect the remaining amount of the liquid L2 in the accommodating groove 21. The liquid filling unit 24 may be disposed adjacent to the containing tank 21, for example, the liquid filling unit 24 may include a container 241, a supplementary liquid L3 disposed in the container 241, and a pipe 242 connected to the container 241, and the pipe 242 is disposed adjacent to the containing space 210 of the containing tank 21. In the second embodiment of the present invention, one end of the tube 242 of the liquid filling unit 24 may be connected to the container 241, and the other end of the tube 242 may be disposed at the side of the groove body 211 of the accommodating groove 21, so as to fill the supplement liquid L3 in the accommodating space 210. Further, for example, a preset threshold may be preset, and when the sensing unit 23 detects that the residual amount of the liquid L2 is lower than the preset threshold, the control unit 25 may output an actuating signal to the liquid filling unit 24 to fill the complementary liquid L3 into the accommodating space 210 of the accommodating groove 21.

Third embodiment

First, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a moisturizing device according to a third embodiment of the invention. As can be seen from a comparison between fig. 9 and fig. 7, the biggest difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that the liquid filling unit 24 of the moisturizing device 2 provided by the third embodiment can be adjusted to a desired setting position according to the requirement. In the third embodiment, one end of the tube 242 of the liquid filling unit 24 may be connected to the container 241, the other end of the tube 242 may penetrate through the cover 212 of the accommodating groove 21, and the tube 242 may penetrate through the first absorption layer 221 and the second absorption layer 222 of the liquid absorption unit 22 to fill the complementary liquid L3 in the accommodating space 210. It should be noted that the other structures of the coating system S and the moisturizing device 2 of the coating structure 12 provided in the third embodiment are similar to those of the previous embodiments, and are not described herein again.

In view of the above, it should be noted that although the pipe 242 in the drawings can pass through the first absorption layer 221 and the second absorption layer 222 of the liquid absorption unit 22, in other embodiments, the pipe 242 can only pass through the cover 212, so that the supplemental liquid L3 sequentially flows from the second absorption layer 222 and the first absorption layer 221 to the accommodating space 210 of the accommodating groove 21.

Advantageous effects of the embodiments

One of the advantages of the present invention is that the application system S and the moisturizing device 2 of the application structure 12 thereof provided by the present invention can maintain the wetness level of an application material L1 on the application structure 12 by the technical scheme that the first surface 2201 of the liquid absorption unit 22 is immersed in the liquid L2, and the second surface 2202 of the liquid absorption unit 22 has a moisturizing area P for the application structure 12 to be placed on.

Further, the present invention can reduce the volatilization speed of the liquid L2 in the moisturizing device 2 by using the technical scheme that the absorption force of the first absorption layer 221 is greater than that of the second absorption layer 222.

In addition, the present invention can utilize the technical scheme that the material of the first adsorption layer 221 is different from the material of the second adsorption layer 222, so that the first adsorption layer 221 and the second adsorption layer 222 can exert their respective moisture retention characteristics.

Furthermore, the present invention can utilize the technical scheme of "the liquid filling unit 24 is disposed adjacent to the containing groove 21" to fill the supplementary liquid into the containing space 210 of the containing groove 21 at an appropriate time.

The disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, so that all technical equivalents and modifications using the contents of the specification and drawings are included in the scope of the claims.
