DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a hot air flow direction control mechanism of a base board baking machine in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a stand 11, a controller 12 mounted on a side of the stand 11, a housing 13 mounted on a top of the stand 11, a heated air device 14 mounted in the housing 13, a plurality of air suction units 141 mounted in the housing 13, and a top cover 15 pivotally mounted on and closing the housing 13. The heated air device 14 is mounted on an inside of the housing 13. The air suction units 141 are arranged opposite to the heated air device 14. Thus, the heated air device 14 delivers heated air (or hot air), and the air suction units 141 suck and drain the heated air, such that the heated air device 14 and the air suction units 141 form an air convection of the heated air as shown in FIG. 2, to accelerate and expand flow of the heated air, such that the heated air is full of the housing 13. The controller 12 regulates and sets the heated air device 14 at a constant timing, temperature, and flow rate. The controller 12 also turns on/off the air suction units 141. A plurality of temperature sensors 131 are mounted in the housing 13 to control the temperature and regulate the flow rate.
[0018] Referring to FIGS. 3-5, the air suction units 141 are mounted on a periphery of a bottom plate 132 of the housing 13 to enhance the heat convection effect. A base board (or base plate or substrate) 2 is mounted in the housing 13 and placed on the bottom plate 132. In such a manner, after the heated air is blown outward from the heated air device 14, the air suction units 141 are adjusted to control the flow direction of the heated air, such that the heated air from the heated air device 14 is blown and moved toward the periphery of the housing 13. Thus, the heated air is distributed evenly in the housing 13 and expanded to reach the corners of the housing 13 at a lower temperature so as to heat the base board 2 completely, such that the two ends 21 of the base board 2 are also heated as shown in FIG. 5. It is appreciated that, the hot air flow direction control mechanism mainly includes the heated air device 14 and the air suction units 141. In such a manner, the heated air is blown from the heated air device 14, and is sucked and drained from the air suction units 141, such that the heated air flows to the periphery of the housing 13 and is full of the housing 13. Thus, the two ends 21 of the base board 2 are heated by the heated air, such that the base board 2 is heated fully.
[0019] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heated air device 14 is mounted on an inside of the top cover 15 to accelerate a full flow of the heated air and to exactly control the direction of the heated air. At the same time, the air suction units 141 are mounted on the periphery of the bottom plate 132 of the housing 13. In addition, the air suction units 141 are turned on or off selectively. In such a manner, when the top cover 15 closes the housing 13, the heated air from the heated air device 14 is blown downward, and when the air suction units 141 are started, the heated air is blown and moved toward the air suction units 141. Thus, when the base board 2 is baked, the temperature at the periphery of the bottom plate 132 is detected, and the air suction units 141 in the region of the periphery are started, to efficiently enhance the heat convection effect in the housing 13, and to increase the temperature at the periphery of the housing 13, so as to achieve a full heat diffusion in the housing 13. Therefore, the raised portion of the two ends 21 (see FIG. 5) of the base board 2 is heated efficiently such that the base board 2 is heated evenly. It is appreciated that, the heated air device 14 is mounted on the inside of the top cover 15, such that the heated air device 14 directly blows the heated air toward the base board 2. In addition, the air suction units 141 are turned on or off according to the preset temperature, such that the heated air compensates the temperature of the two ends 21 of the base board 2, and accelerates flow and diffusion of the heated air.
[0020] Again referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the heated air is blown from the heated air device 14 to heat the base board 2 gradually, and the air suction units 141 surrounding the bottom plate 132 suck and drain the heated air, to produce a heat convection, and to control the flow direction of the heated air. Thus, the heat from the heated air device 14 reaches the corners of the housing 13 such that the whole region of the housing 13 is kept at a constant temperature, and the base board 2 is heated evenly and completely, so as to enhance the quality of the base board 2.
[0021] Accordingly, the heated air device 14 and the air suction units 141 produce a heat convection to achieve a fully developed heating effect, such that the heated air is full of the housing 13, and the base board 2 is heated evenly and completely, thereby enhancing the quality of the base board 2. In addition, the heated air device 14 blows the heated air, and the air suction units 141 suck and drain the heated air, to control the flow direction of the heated air during the process of air delivery and air suction, such that the heated air is conducted to all of the corners of the housing 13, so as to heat the raised portion or the two ends 21 of the base board 2.
[0022] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the invention.
