Abstract: A slide rail kit includes a first rail, a second rail, an elastic member and an engaging member. The first rail is arranged with an engaging feature. The engaging member is movably mounted on the second rail. When the second rail is located at a retracted position relative to the first rail, the engaging member is configured to be engaged with the engaging feature of the first rail. When a force is applied to the engaging member to switch the engaging member from an engaging state to a disengaging state, the second rail is movable relative to the first rail from the retracted position along a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A production line includes a number of production units, production equipments and a sliding bracket. The sliding bracket slides between the production units. Each production unit includes at least one base unit which is made in series. The at least one base unit has an enclosure. The sliding bracket and the production equipment are received in the enclosure. The production units are arranged in a configuration such as straight line, U-shaped or rectangular.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting method includes the following steps. A hot-melting machine (20) is provided. The hot-melting machine includes a rotatable worktable (23), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a plurality of carriers located on the worktable and being uniformly spaced apart. A first workpiece loaded on a first one of the carriers is cooled using the at least one cooler. Simultaneously, a second workpiece loaded on a second one of the carriers is heated using the heater.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting machine (20) includes a worktable (23), a number of carriers (24), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a controller (28). The carriers are located on the worktable and are uniformly spaced apart. Each carrier is configured for holding a workpiece. The heater is configured for heating the workpiece. The cooler is configured for cooling the workpiece. The controller is configured for driving the worktable to rotate, the heater to move down toward and up away from a corresponding one of the carriers, and the at least one cooler to move down toward and up away from another corresponding one of the carriers. At each of successive stages in operation of the hot-melting machine, one of the carriers is aligned with the heater, another one the carriers is aligned with the at least one cooler, and a further one of the carriers is positioned such that a workpiece can be unloaded from the further one of the carriers and another workpiece can be loaded on the further one of the carriers.

Abstract: A cooling mold (262) includes a cooling portion (2632), and defines a channel. The cooling portion has a number of intersecting grooves (2636). The channel communicates with at least one of the grooves. The channel and the grooves are configured for gas to flow therethrough to a workpiece at least partly received in the cooling portion.
