Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of the times, the popularity of computers has increased, and memory sticks are one of the essential components of computers. During use, memory sticks of different storage capacities can be installed in the slots according to user needs. Generally, the memory sticks need to be manually installed into the slots on the computer motherboard and pressed firmly into the slots. Because the slots have fixings to prevent the memory sticks from falling out, the manual pressing process requires considerable force, making it difficult to tighten. In addition, workers can injure their hands from prolonged work. Most importantly, manual assembly of memory sticks can cause misalignment between the memory stick and the slots. Installing a memory stick at an angle can damage the slots and the memory stick, reducing the yield rate.

[0003] Existing pressing mechanisms typically feature a floating press head with a slot that fits the memory module. When the press head descends, the slot and memory module mate, effectively pressing the memory module. However, the floating press head can wobble during the pressing process, causing the memory module to misalign during the pressing process. Furthermore, the force applied by the press head to the memory module can be skewed, causing damage to the memory module and the slot.

[0004] To this end, it is urgent to study a floating pressing device to prevent the pressing head from shaking during the movement process, so that when the pressing head presses down, the receiving slot can be aligned with the memory stick, allowing the memory stick to enter the receiving slot accurately, making it easier to install it into the card slot smoothly and safely later.

[0038] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a floating pressing device for pressing a first workpiece 100 against a second workpiece 200. The floating pressing device includes a workbench 1, a moving assembly 2, a pressing head assembly 3, and a stopper assembly 4. The output end of the moving assembly 2 includes a vertical mounting plate 21 capable of reciprocating along a vertical direction Z. The pressing head assembly 3 is swingably mounted at the output end of the moving assembly 2. The output end of the pressing head assembly 3 is provided with a receiving groove 321 for receiving the first workpiece 100. The stopper assembly 4 is disposed at the output end of the moving assembly 2 and is used to stop the pressing head assembly 3 at an intermediate position. When in the intermediate position, the receiving groove 321 is located directly above the second workpiece 200.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first workpiece 100 may be a memory stick, and the second workpiece 200 may be a card slot. Of course, in other embodiments, the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 may be any paired products that require plug-in cooperation, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] The floating pressing device is provided with a pressing head assembly 3, so that during the pressing process, the pressing head assembly 3 can provide a floating force for the memory stick, so that the memory stick can adapt to the guide part of the card slot, and then when the pressing head assembly 3 is pressed down, the memory stick can smoothly enter the card slot. By providing a stop assembly 4, the pressing head assembly 3 is stopped at the middle position. At this time, the pressing end of the pressing head assembly 3 is at the lowest point, and the receiving groove 321 is directly above the card slot. During the downward movement of the pressing head assembly 3, the receiving groove 321 can smoothly dock with the memory stick in the card slot, so that the subsequent memory stick can be safely installed in the card slot, greatly reducing the risk of damage to the memory stick and the card slot.

[0042] In this embodiment, the stop assembly 4 includes a stopper 41 and a stopper 42. The stopper 41 is disposed on the vertical mounting plate 21. Two stoppers 42 are provided. The stopper 41 is used to drive the working ends of the two stoppers 42 toward or away from each other. When the working ends of the two stoppers 42 are in a close position, they clamp and stop the ram assembly 3. This arrangement enables automated operation of the two stoppers 42, eliminating manual operation and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the two stoppers 42 can be positioned from a distance to a closer position, which in turn moves the ram assembly 3 to an intermediate position. When the ram assembly 3 is in the intermediate position, the crimping end of the ram assembly 3 is at its lowest point. Of course, in other implementations of this embodiment, the arrangement can be adjusted based on the shape of the memory stick and the direction of the slot opening. The crimping end does not necessarily need to be at the lowest point; it is sufficient to ensure that the accommodating slot 321 can retain the memory stick during the downward pressing process.

[0043] Specifically, the stop power member 41 includes a stop cylinder, and two stop members 42 are respectively provided at the two output ends. With the help of the above-mentioned stop cylinder, the two stop members 42 can be driven to move closer or farther away, which has a simple structure and high reliability. The two stop members 42 can also be swingably provided on the vertical mounting plate 21, and the stop cylinder can drive the upper ends of the two stop members 42 so that the lower ends of the two stop members 42 can move closer or farther away from each other. In another embodiment, the stop assembly 4 can also be a spring. The two springs respectively squeeze the two sides of the pressure head assembly 3, thereby causing the pressure head assembly 3 to be located in the middle position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pressing head assembly 3 includes a pressing rod 31 and a pressing head 32. The pressing rod 31 is rotatably mounted on the vertical mounting plate 21. The pressing head 32 is disposed at one end of the pressing rod 31. The receiving groove 321 is disposed at the end of the pressing head 32 away from the pressing rod 31. The rotation of the pressing rod 31 enables the pressing head 32 to swing, which can accommodate slightly tilted slots. The structure is simple and the performance is reliable.

[0045] Regarding the swinging of the crimping rod 31, in this embodiment, the crimping head assembly 3 includes a rotating pin 33, which is fixed to the vertical mounting plate 21. The crimping rod 31 is provided with a pin hole, through which the rotating pin 33 is inserted. The rotating pin 33 has a simple structure and is easy to install. Of course, in other implementations of this embodiment, the rotating pin 33 can be provided on the crimping rod 31 and the pin hole can be provided on the vertical mounting plate 21.

[0046] To improve the degree of automation, in this embodiment, the moving assembly 2 includes a vertical drive assembly 22, which is arranged on the workbench 1 and is used to drive the vertical mounting plate 21 to move along the vertical direction Z. Specifically, the vertical drive assembly 22 includes a vertical drive member, a screw and a nut. The screw is rotatably arranged on the workbench 1, the vertical drive member is arranged on the workbench 1 and is connected to the screw in a transmission manner, and the nut is threadedly engaged with the screw and is connected to the vertical drive member. This arrangement can make the adjustment accuracy of the moving distance of the vertical mounting plate 21 higher. Of course, in other implementations of this embodiment, the vertical drive assembly 22 can be a linear module.

[0047] When the pressing head assembly 3 is in the process of descending, there will be an initial speed. The speed at the moment of contact with the memory bar will have an impact on the memory bar. In order to prevent the impact from causing damage to the memory bar, in this embodiment, the pressing head assembly 3 includes a buffer 34. The buffer 34 is slidably arranged on the vertical mounting plate 21 along the vertical direction Z, and when the buffer 34 moves up a specified distance, it can abut against the pressing plate 211 on the vertical mounting plate 21, and the pressing rod 31 is rotatably arranged on the buffer 34. Specifically, the pressing rod 31 is rotatably arranged on the buffer 34. With the above arrangement, the buffer 34 can move upward at the moment when the pressing head 32 contacts the memory bar, effectively alleviating the impact force between the pressing head 32 and the memory bar, thereby protecting the memory bar and preventing it from being damaged.

[0048] In this embodiment, the press head assembly 3 includes a rotating pin 33, which is fixed to the buffer member 34. The movable assembly 2 is provided with a pin hole, through which the rotating pin 33 is inserted. Specifically, the pin hole is provided in the crimping rod 31. Of course, in other implementations of this embodiment, the rotating pin 33 can be provided on the crimping rod 31, and the pin hole can be provided in the buffer member 34.

[0049] In order to achieve smooth sliding of the buffer member 34, in this embodiment, the pressure head assembly 3 includes a buffer rail 35 and a buffer slider 36. The buffer rail 35 is arranged on the vertical mounting plate 21, and the buffer slider 36 is arranged on the moving assembly 2. The buffer slider 36 can slide along the buffer rail 35.

[0050] Furthermore, the pressing head assembly 3 includes a buffering elastic member disposed between the vertical mounting plate 21 and the buffer member 34. The buffering elastic member is used to push the buffer member 34 upward, and the elastic force of the buffering elastic member is less than or equal to the sum of the weight of the buffer member 34, the pressing rod 31, and the pressing head 32. In this embodiment, the provision of the buffering elastic member effectively reduces the impact force generated when the pressing head 32 contacts the memory module, further ensuring the safety of the memory module.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pressing head assembly 3 includes a pressure sensor 37, which is disposed between the pressing rod 31 and the vertical mounting plate 21. The provision of the pressure sensor 37 enables the controller to obtain timely pressure feedback, ensuring that the downward pressure of the pressing head 32 meets the pressing standard. This avoids insufficient pressure on the memory module, which may result in a loose fit, and excessive pressure on the memory module, which may prevent the memory module or the card slot from being damaged.

[0052] Because the sensing end of the pressure sensor 37 has a relatively small area, to facilitate pressure measurement, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 37 is slidably mounted on the vertical mounting plate 21 along the vertical direction Z, and the pressure sensor 37 is sandwiched between the crimping rod 31 and the pressure plate 211. Preferably, the sensing end of the pressure sensor 37 can abut against the non-swinging pressure plate 211, while the main body of the pressure sensor 37 can abut against the swinging crimping rod 31. Due to the large area of ​​the main body, it is convenient for abutting against the crimping rod 31 at different swing angles.

[0053] The pressure head assembly 3 includes a pressure roller 38, which is rotatably mounted on the pressure rod 31 and is used to abut against the pressure sensor 37. The arrangement of the pressure roller 38 enables the pressure rod 31 to be adjusted at different swing angles, thereby ensuring good abutment between the main body of the pressure rod 31 and the pressure sensor 37.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the pressure sensor 37 can be fixed on the pressure plate 211, and a curved plate is installed on the sensing end of the pressure sensor 37 to abut against the swinging pressing rod 31. The curvature of the curved plate is adapted to the swing amplitude of the pressing rod 31.

[0055] In this embodiment, the opening size of the receiving groove 321 gradually increases from top to bottom. Specifically, the length and width of the opening gradually increase from top to bottom. With the above arrangement, the precision requirements for the equipment are reduced, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0056] In this embodiment, the width dimension of the crimping rod 31 first remains unchanged and then increases from top to bottom. On the one hand, this setting makes the upper end of the crimping rod 31 narrower, so that the distance between the two stoppers 42 is smaller when they are separated, which is convenient for control and reduces material costs; on the other hand, it makes the center of gravity of the crimping rod 31 lower, thereby improving the stability of the crimping rod 31. The width direction of the crimping rod 31 is the length direction of the accommodating groove 321, that is, the second horizontal direction Y. Preferably, the center of gravity of the crimping rod 31 and the crimping head 32 is located directly below the rotating pin 33. With the help of the above-mentioned setting, the crimping rod 31 can maintain a stable state under the action of its own weight, which is conducive to reducing the force required by the stop assembly 4 to stop the crimping rod 31, thereby improving the stopping efficiency and reducing the stopping cost.

[0057] During the loading process, the ram assembly 3 needs to avoid collisions and damage. In this embodiment, the moving assembly 2 also includes a first horizontal traverse assembly 23, which is disposed on the workbench 1. The output end of the first horizontal traverse assembly 23 includes a horizontal mounting plate 231 that can move along a first horizontal direction X. The vertical mounting plate 21 is provided with the horizontal mounting plate 231 along a vertical direction Z, and the vertical drive assembly 22 is disposed on the horizontal mounting plate 231. This arrangement allows the ram assembly 3 to move in the first horizontal direction X, thereby achieving avoidance during the loading process.

[0058] Furthermore, the floating pressing device includes a carrier plate 11, which is slidably mounted on the workbench 1 along the second horizontal direction Y. The card slot is positioned on the carrier plate 11, and the first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y. The vertical direction Z is perpendicular to both the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y. This structure allows the carrier plate 11 to be moved away from the press head assembly 3 along the second horizontal direction Y during loading, further away from the press head assembly 3, thereby improving the safety of the press head assembly 3.

[0059] To improve the degree of automation, in this embodiment, the floating pressing device includes a second horizontal lateral movement component 5, which is provided on the workbench 1 and is used to drive the carrier plate 11. The first horizontal lateral movement component 23 and the second horizontal lateral movement component 5 can both be linear modules.

[0060] In this embodiment, a jig 12 is provided on the carrier plate 11. The jig 12 is used to position the card slot. The provision of the jig 12 can prevent the card slot from shifting, thereby improving the success rate of memory module installation. Specifically, the jig 12 includes a positioning carrier plate 121 and a product mounting plate 122. The positioning carrier plate 121 is placed on the carrier plate 11 and is provided with a positioning pin 1211. The product mounting plate 122 is provided with a positioning hole. The product mounting plate 122 is placed on the positioning carrier plate 121, and the positioning pin 1211 is connected to the positioning hole. With the provision of the above structure, the accuracy and efficiency of placing the product mounting plate 122 on the positioning carrier plate 121 can be greatly improved.

[0061] To improve the stability of the card slot, in this embodiment, the positioning carrier 121 is provided with a suction cup 1212, which can absorb the product mounting plate 122. Among them, multiple suction cups 1212 can be provided, distributed around the circumference and center of the product mounting plate 122.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
