Vacuum wiper and stencil printer with vacuum wiper

Abstract:

A vacuum wiper, comprising a housing, a connection port, multiple holes and a hole adjusting means; the housing contains a cavity; the connection port is disposed on the housing and is in communication with the cavity; the multiple holes are disposed on the housing in the length direction of the housing, such that the cavity of the vacuum wiper housing is able to be in fluid communication with the outside via the multiple holes. The vacuum wiper has a maximum vacuumizing length when all of the multiple holes are in communication with the outside. The hole adjusting means is configured to be capable of blocking one or more of the multiple holes in sequence from two ends in the length direction of arrangement of the multiple holes of the vacuum wiper, such that the vacuum wiper is able to adjust the vacuumizing length. The provision of the hole adjusting means enables the vacuum wiping apparatus to have an adjustable vacuumizing length, in order to match the wiping of stencils with different length specifications, thereby effectively increasing the vacuumizing efficiency of the vacuum wiping apparatus and reducing the production cost.
