DEVICE FOR DETACHING A COVER FROM A BASE

摘要

A device for detaching a cover adhesively attached to a base is provided. The device includes a support plate for supporting the base, and a suction plate applying an overall and uniform attracting action to the cover by means of a vacuum. The device further includes a driving unit to pull the suction plate away from the base. The device further includes a heating element to heat and soften adhesive, thereby weakening the adhesive bond between the base and the cover and allowing the release of the cover from the base.

主权项

1. A detaching device for detaching a cover of an electronic device from a base of the electronic device, the detaching device comprising:
a platform defining a chamber and comprising a first connector for connecting with a vacuum source, the platform further comprising a support plate defining a plurality of through holes that communicate with the chamber, the support plate being configured to support the base of the electronic device, wherein the base of the electronic device is sucked to the support plate when a vacuum condition is created in the chamber by the vacuum source; a support frame secured to the platform; a driving unit secured to the support frame and comprising a rod that is movable toward or away from the platform; a suction member connected to an end of the rod, the suction member defining a cavity and comprising a second connector for connecting with the vacuum source, the suction member further comprising a suction plate that defines a plurality of openings communicating with the cavity, the suction member being configured to suck the cover of the electronic device when a vacuum is created in the cavity by the vacuum source; and a heating element secured to the suction plate and configured to heat and soften a glue tape between the between the cover and the base, thereby allowing the cover to move together with the suction member.
