Benefits of technology

The present invention is a manufacturing apparatus that can effectively control the growth direction of an electrotyped layer on a waveguide prototype. It can be used for high-precision prototypes and does not require any additional conductive treatment. The waveguide prototype is formed by precisely machining an alloy with a low melting point and can easily be removed without leaving any adhesive residue. The non-conductive treatment on partial surface of the waveguide prototype allows for effective control of the growing direction of the electrotyped layer, especially when elements have a high depth-to-width ratio. The invention prevents quality deficiencies like splits or holes of the electrotyped layer and provides easy demolding of the waveguide prototype.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the foregoing procedures, it cannot be controlled that partial surface of the waveguide prototype 10 is conductive or non-conductive, and a uniform and stable electrotyped layer 13 cannot be formed between specific machined wall surfaces.
Therefore, the foregoing procedures in the prior art cannot be applied to a waveguide (such as an antenna used for astro-observation) product having a convex teeth structure with high precision and a high depth-to-width ratio.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All the accompanying drawings are simplified schematic figures, which merely describe the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner. Therefore, only elements related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, and the elements are not displayed according to the quantity, shape, or dimensional proportion during implementation. During practical implementation, there are options for design of the specifications, and the element arrangement may be more complex.

[0025]First, refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B. This embodiment is a winding apparatus 20 for a waveguide (or referred to as corrugated horn) prototype mold 50; the waveguide prototype mould 50 is formed by treating a waveguide prototype 30 by the winding apparatus 20. The waveguide prototype 30 includes a rod body 31; a surface of the rod body 31 is periodically provided with radi...

Abstract

A wiring apparatus includes a substrate, two winding modules, and an axial wire dividing module. The two winding modules are disposed on the substrate. Each winding module includes a clamping mechanism with a chuck, a rotary mechanism having a rotation driving unit driving the chuck; and a reciprocating mechanism with a rail-slider assembly, the rotation driving unit connected to the slider. The axial wire dividing module is disposed on the substrate and located between the two winding modules with a wire supply channel provided with a wire inlet and a wire outlet. The wire outlet is provided with a cutter aligned with the center of the wire supply channel, and a cutting edge of the cutter faces the wire inlet; a waveguide prototype mould is formed by dividing a wire in real time and winding wires in grooves of a waveguide prototype.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a winding apparatus for a waveguide prototype mould and a waveguide manufacturing method, and in particular, to an apparatus and a method that make a wire thinner and smaller by using a real-time wire dividing technology, wind and fasten wires in grooves between convex teeth of a high-precision waveguide prototype, and then manufacture a waveguide by using the waveguide prototype.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Waveguides (also referred to as corrugated horns) are main components for microwave transmission, and can be applied to communications industries in the fields of satellites and outer space; waveguides have military applications such as radar detection and communications, and also have industrial and civilian applications such as microwave ovens (heating, drying, and defrosting), microwave extraction (extraction, purification, and environmental decontamination), microwave radars (such as speed measurement, dis...
