Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery installation, and in particular to a battery positioning and pressing device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the process of pressing button batteries onto PCBs (printed circuit boards) is entirely manual. Due to the structural design of the battery holder, the battery needs to be placed diagonally into the holder first, then pressed down diagonally to push it into the holder. Battery pressing is a repetitive, high-intensity operation. The human finger joints, especially the thumb joints, are prone to fatigue and pain after prolonged pressing, and the thumbs may even need to be wrapped with tape to assist with the operation. At the same time, manual operations can only improve efficiency by increasing the proficiency of workers. Once the worker's efficiency reaches a certain level, there is limited room for further improvement. With the continuous improvement of the automation level of front-end and back-end processes such as PCB (printed circuit board) patching and PCB paneling, the battery pressing process has become a bottleneck in the entire production line. In terms of efficiency and labor costs, it is urgently needed to be improved.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can realize battery pressing and a matching automated machine to replace manual work, so as to solve the technical problems of high manual labor intensity and low efficiency in the above-mentioned battery pressing process. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The specific embodiment of the present invention provides a battery positioning and pressing device, comprising a horizontal drive motor 2, a vertical drive mechanism 3 and a positioning and pressing mechanism 1; Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal drive motor 2 and the vertical drive mechanism 3 are both connected to the positioning and pressing mechanism 1, and the horizontal drive motor 2 is used to provide horizontal power for the positioning and pressing mechanism 1, while the vertical drive mechanism 3 is used to provide vertical power for the positioning and pressing mechanism 1; the most important thing is that the positioning and pressing mechanism 1 also includes a limit block 4 and a pressing rod 5 arranged on the limit block 4, in order to limit the arbitrary movement of the button battery 19 when the positioning and pressing mechanism 1 contacts the button battery 19, a limit groove 8 is provided on the limit block 4, and the limit groove 8 can make the button battery 19 stop when the positioning and pressing mechanism 1 contacts the button battery 19. The battery 19 is located inside the limiting groove 8, and as the positioning and pressing mechanism 1 moves horizontally, it is always in the limiting groove 8; at the same time, it is also necessary to provide a power for the vertical buckle installation of the button battery 19, so a mounting groove 6 is set in the limiting block 4, and the pressing rod 5 is hinged in the mounting groove 6, and the reset part 7 is connected between the pressing rod 5 and the limiting block 4. It is worth mentioning that the mounting groove 6 and the limiting groove 8 are connected. In this way, the pressing rod 5 installed in the mounting groove 6 can enter the limiting groove 8 when pushed by the vertical driving mechanism 3, act on the button battery 19 and buckle the button battery 19 onto the button battery holder 18.

[0032] The hinge connection between the pressing rod 5 and the limit block 4 can be achieved through a hinge 9 . One end of the pressing rod 5 is hinged to the limit block 4 through the hinge 9 , and the other end is connected to the limit block 4 through a reset member 7 .

[0033] The reset member 7 can be a spring. When a spring is used, one end of the spring is connected to the pressing rod 5, and the other end is connected to the limit block 4. At this time, when the vertical drive mechanism 3 applies external force to the pressing rod 5 again, the spring accumulates force. When the vertical drive mechanism 3 no longer applies external force, the spring drives the pressing rod 5 back to its original position.

[0034] The horizontal drive motor 2 needs to be connected to the limit block 4 to provide horizontal power to the limit block 4. The horizontal drive motor 2 used in this application can be a linear motor or a screw nut motor, which only needs to provide a linear motion for the positioning and pressing mechanism 1;

[0035] The vertical driving mechanism 3 abuts against the pressing rod 5 to push the pressing rod 5 out of the installation slot 6; Figure 3 As shown, the vertical drive mechanism 3 includes an air compressor 14 and a cylinder 15. The air compressor 14 is connected to the cylinder 15, and the air compressor 14 provides high-pressure gas to the cylinder 15. A solenoid valve can also be set on the pipeline connecting the air compressor 14 and the cylinder 15 to control the on and off of the gas and indirectly control the movement of the piston rod of the cylinder 15. The piston rod of the cylinder 15 is connected to the pressing rod 5. In order to make the structure more compact, the piston rod of the cylinder 15 can be deeply inserted into the mounting groove 6 inside the limit block 4 to directly contact the pressing rod. Therefore, a through hole 13 is provided on the limit block 4. The through hole 13 is provided at the end of the limit block 4 opposite to the limit groove 8. One end of the through hole 13 is connected to the mounting groove 6, and the other end passes through the end of the limit block 4 away from the limit groove 8. The piston rod of the cylinder 15 is inserted into the through hole 13 and abuts against the pressing rod 5. In this way, power is provided to the pressing rod 5, avoiding the problem that the piston rod is externally placed and the structure is not compact and occupies a large space.

[0036] In order to fit the curved edge of the button battery 19, one side of the limiting groove 8 is set as a curved wall structure 10, and a pressing block 11 is set on the other side. The curved wall structure 10 can fit the side wall of the button battery 19 as much as possible, so that when the limiting block 4 pushes the button battery 19 again, it can effectively prevent the button battery 19 from moving in other directions. At the same time, the pressing block 11 presses the end face of the button battery 19. Since the button battery 19 is in an unfastened state on the button battery seat 18, it is tilted. Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the corresponding pressure block 11 is particularly effective in preventing the button battery 19 from being ejected from the button battery holder 18 when the limit block 4 applies external force to the button battery 19. Moreover, the pressure block 11 can also be made of a flexible material, such as rubber, to avoid damage to the battery.

[0037] The limiting groove 8 is symmetrical along the axis of the mounting groove 6. When the pressing rod 5 moves out from the inside of the mounting groove 6, it will directly abut against the center line of the button battery 19, which can apply more balanced force to the button battery 19. There are two corresponding pressing blocks 11, which are respectively arranged in the limiting grooves 8 on both sides of the mounting groove 6.

[0038] To prevent damage to the button battery 19, a relatively soft contact block 12 can be provided on the pressing rod 5. The contact block 12 is provided on the pressing rod 5 and is close to the side of the limiting groove 8. When the pressing rod 5 contacts the button battery 19, the contact block 12 can contact the button battery 19. The contact block 12 can be made of plastic or rubber, and the pressing rod 5 and the contact block 12 are fixedly connected.

[0039] It is also necessary to set up a placement table 16 for placing circuit boards. A receiving groove 17 is set on the placement table 16. The receiving groove 17 is used to hold the circuit boards. The positioning and pressing mechanism 1 is located above the placement table 16. In order to improve the simultaneous installation of multiple button batteries 19 on multiple circuit boards, multiple circuit boards are placed inside the receiving groove 17. The corresponding positioning and pressing mechanisms 1 also need to be designed in multiples, and the multiple positioning and pressing mechanisms 1 are all connected to the horizontal drive motor 2 and the vertical drive mechanism 3; multiple positioning and pressing mechanisms 1 can be fixed to the board, so a threaded hole 20 is set on one end face of the through hole 13 of the limit block 4 to realize the installation of the positioning and pressing mechanism 1. The multiple positioning and pressing mechanisms 1 correspond one by one to the button batteries 19 of the multiple circuit boards. This method can simultaneously install multiple button batteries 19. It can improve work efficiency and avoid the problem of high manual labor intensity causing damage to human hands.

Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
