In addition, labels need to be pasted on solid - state drives. When pasting manually, it is easy to have uncertain pasting positions and skewed pasting, resulting in inconsistent labels on the final products. Summary of the Invention

[0003] An embodiment of this application provides an integrated tool for hard disk screw hole detection and label positioning to solve the problems in the related art that debris or unprocessed screw holes in solid - state drives cause customers unable to assemble and use them normally, and inconsistent label pasting.

[0004] In a first aspect, an integrated tool for hard disk screw hole detection and label positioning is provided, which includes a bottom plate mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a support plate mechanism, a screw hole detection mechanism, and a label positioning mechanism. The bottom plate mechanism includes a bottom plate, a first positioning structure located on the bottom plate, and two sliding structures. The two sliding structures are located on both sides of the first positioning structure. The positioning structure includes a positioning plate positioned in the middle of the bottom plate through the first positioning structure. The support plate mechanism includes a pair of support plates slidably arranged towards each other on the bottom plate through a sliding structure respectively. The screw hole detection mechanism includes a first screw hole detection structure and a second screw hole detection structure. The first screw hole detection structure is a bottom screw hole probe arranged at the four corners of the positioning plate and extending vertically upwards. The second screw hole detection structure includes two side screw hole probes located on the inner sides of the two opposite sides of the pair of positioning plates. The label positioning mechanism includes two cover plates respectively fixed on the pair of support plates. When the pair of support plates slide towards each other and the two side screw hole probes on them match the side screw holes of the hard disk to be detected without foreign objects, the end faces of the two cover plates are butted and combined to form a label pasting and positioning window.

[0005] In some embodiments, the first positioning mechanism is a positioning plate positioning window opened in the middle of the bottom plate, and the positioning plate is positioned within the positioning plate positioning window.

[0006] In some embodiments, the four corners of the positioning plate positioning window are rounded to match the positioning bolts of the positioning plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the sliding structure is two guide rails screwed and fixed on the bottom plate. The two guide rails are located on both sides of the positioning plate positioning window, and the two support plates are respectively slidably matched with a guide rail.

[0008] In some embodiments, a single guide rail is formed by positioning blocks that are spaced and screwed to the bottom plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, it further includes a pair of sliding limit structures, and the pair of sliding limit structures are respectively used to limit the sliding limit stroke of the corresponding pallet relative to the other pallet.

[0010] In some embodiments, the pair of sliding limit structures include bolts, strip-shaped sliding grooves are formed on the corresponding pallets, and the bolts pass through the corresponding strip-shaped sliding grooves and are screwed and fixed to the bottom plate.

[0015] The embodiment of this application provides a hard disk screw hole detection and label positioning integrated tooling. By matching the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive through the bottom screw hole probes at the four corners of the positioning plate, and the two pallets sliding towards each other, the four side screw hole probes match the side screw holes of the solid-state drive. At the same time, the two pallets moving towards each other drive the two covers to approach each other. Through the butt joint situation of the end faces of the two covers, it is possible to visually detect the presence or absence of foreign objects in the screw holes of the solid-state drive and the presence or absence of screw hole processing. If the screw hole detection passes, then the label can be directly adhered through the label pasting and positioning window formed by the two butt-jointed covers. It can not only achieve screw hole detection, but also achieve the consistency of product label pasting for all solid-state drive products, effectively improving the screw hole detection efficiency and the appearance quality of the products leaving the factory.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application provide an integrated tooling for detecting and positioning hard disk screw holes, which can solve the technical problems in the prior art that it is impossible to efficiently detect the debris or processing conditions in the bottom and side screw holes of a solid-state drive and the inconsistent label pasting.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-2, an integrated tooling for hard disk screw hole detection and label positioning provided by this application includes a bottom plate mechanism, a positioning plate 3, a support plate mechanism, a screw hole detection mechanism, and a label positioning mechanism. The bottom plate mechanism includes a bottom plate 1, a first positioning structure located on the bottom plate 1, and two sliding structures. The positioning plate 3 is positioned in the middle of the bottom plate 1 through the first positioning structure. The support plate mechanism includes a pair of support plates 2 that are slidably arranged on the bottom plate 1 in opposite directions through a sliding structure respectively. The screw hole detection mechanism includes a first screw hole detection structure and a second screw hole detection structure. The first screw hole detection structure is provided with bottom screw hole probes 31 that are arranged at the four corners of the positioning plate 3 and extend vertically upward. The second screw hole detection structure is two side screw hole probes 22 located on the two downward inner side surfaces of a pair of the positioning plates 3. The label positioning mechanism includes two cover plates 4 respectively fixed on a pair of the support plates 2. Notches 41 are opened on both cover plates 4. When a pair of the support plates 2 slide towards each other and the two side screw hole probes 22 on them match the side screw holes of the hard disk to be detected without foreign objects, the end faces of the two cover plates 4 are seamlessly butted, and the two notches 41 are combined into a label pasting and positioning window.

[0025] For the integrated tooling for hard disk screw hole detection and label positioning provided by this application, the four bottom screw hole probes 31 protruding vertically upward on the positioning plate 3 match the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive, and the side screw hole probes 22 on the inner side surfaces of the two support plates 2 facing each other match the side screw holes of the solid-state drive. When the two support plates 2 slide towards each other to the limit position, if there are no foreign objects in the side screw holes of the solid-state drive, the end faces of the two cover plates 4 can be seamlessly butted. If there are foreign objects in the side screw holes of the solid-state drive or the side of the solid-state drive is not processed with screw holes, the side screw hole probes 22 cannot be smoothly matched with the side screw holes. The existence of foreign objects or the unprocessed screw holes will shorten the sliding stroke of the corresponding support plate 2 towards the other support plate 2. As a result, when the two support plates 2 slide towards each other to the limit stroke, there is a gap between the two cover plates 4. The detection result of whether there are foreign objects or the processing of the side screw holes of the solid-state drive can be visually observed from the gap between the two cover plates 4. When the end faces of the two cover plates 4 are seamlessly butted, the notches 41 of the two cover plates 4 are combined into a label pasting and positioning window, which is convenient for the operator to directly position and paste the label according to the screw hole detection passing information obtained visually, ensuring the consistency of the label pasting of the final solid-state drive product, improving the appearance quality of the product, and facilitating the operator to correctly pack and install according to the label information.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 3, this application is mainly applicable to the screw hole detection and label positioning requirements of the bottom screw holes and side screw holes of 2.5-inch solid-state drives. In other embodiments of this application, according to the model of the solid-state drive, the number of the bottom screw hole probes 31 and side screw hole probes 22 and their specific positions on the same horizontal plane of the positioning plate or on the inner side surface of the support plate 2 can be correspondingly adjusted to match the screw hole detection requirements of the bottom screw holes and side screw holes of this model.

[0027] In one embodiment, one end of the cover plate 4 is screwed and fixed to the top surface near the end of the corresponding inner side surface of the support plate 2. There is a preset horizontal distance between the screw holes of the cover plate 4 on the support plate 2 and the side screw hole probes 22 on its inner side surface. When the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive match the bottom screw hole probes 31 at the four corners of the positioning plate 3, if there are foreign objects or unprocessed screw holes in the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive, the other ends of the two cover plates 4 will respond and warp. When the two support plates 2 slide extremely close to each other, the end surfaces of the two cover plates 4 cannot be seamlessly butted vertically, so as to realize the detection results of the presence or absence of foreign objects and the processing of the side screw holes and bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive from the horizontal and vertical docking conditions of the two cover plates 4.

[0028] In one embodiment, one end of the two cover plates 4 is non-tightly screwed to the support plate 2, which can be realized as being loosely connected to the support plate 2, providing a warping space for the cover plate 4 for the abnormal detection of the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive, and avoiding the warping stress damage at the connection between the cover plate 4 and the support plate 2 in the case of abnormal detection of the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive caused by the tight connection.

[0029] In a more specific embodiment, cover plate mounting holes are provided on both support plates 2, and the two cover plates 4 are movably clamped in the cover plate mounting holes of the corresponding side support plates 2 through bolts, so as to reduce the damage caused by the jacking stress of the cover plate 4 to the connection between the cover plate 4 and the support plate 2 in the case of detecting the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive by the bottom screw hole probes 31 at the two corners of the corresponding side positioning plate 3.

[0030] In one embodiment, the first positioning structure includes a positioning plate positioning window 11 opened in the middle of the bottom plate 1, and the bottom of the positioning plate 3 is positioned in the positioning plate positioning window 11. The bottom screw hole probes 31 at its four corners match the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive.

[0031] In one embodiment, the four corners of the positioning plate positioning window 11 are provided with rounded corners, so that the four corners of the bottom surface of the positioning plate 3 are accurately positioned at the four corners of the positioning plate positioning window 11 through positioning cylinders.

[0032] In one embodiment, the sliding structure is a guide rail fixed on the bottom plate 1 and located on both sides of the positioning window 11 of the positioning plate. The length extension directions of the two guide rails are the same, and the two support plates 2 are respectively slidably arranged in the corresponding guide rails to realize the opposite sliding or the back-to-back sliding of the two support plates 2.

[0033] In a more specific embodiment, the guide rail is realized as a guide rail block 12 fixed on the front and rear side surfaces of the bottom plate 1, and the two support plates 2 are respectively slidably arranged between the two guide rail blocks 12 on the corresponding side.

[0034] In a more specific embodiment, the guide rail block 12 includes a fixed surface and an extension surface. The fixed surface is screwed and fixed on the front side surface or the rear side surface of the bottom plate 1, and the extension surface extends from the top of the fixed surface towards the middle of the bottom plate 1. The support plate 2 is clamped between the fixed surfaces of the two guide rail blocks 12 and is limited below the extension surfaces of the two fixed blocks, so as to realize the sliding arrangement of the support plate 2 between the two guide rail blocks 12.

[0035] In one embodiment, the hard disk screw hole detection label positioning integrated tooling provided by the present application further includes a pair of sliding limit structures, which are located on the bottom plate 1 on both sides of the positioning window 11 of the positioning plate, and are respectively used to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the support plate 2 on the corresponding side. The maximum sliding stroke of the two support plates 2 is determined according to the width of the solid state drive. When the two support plates 2 slide towards each other to the maximum sliding stroke and there are processed screw holes on both side surfaces of the solid state drive and there is no foreign object in the screw holes, the end faces 42 of the two cover plates are seamlessly butted.

[0036] In a more specific embodiment, strip-shaped sliding grooves 21 with the length direction consistent with the sliding direction of the support plate 2 are opened in the middle of the two support plates 2. The strip-shaped sliding grooves 21 are through holes. The sliding limit structure is a limiting member 13 such as a screw or a bolt. The screw or the bolt passes through the strip-shaped sliding groove 21 and is fastened on the bottom plate 1. The screw or the bolt is limited between the two narrow groove walls of the strip-shaped sliding groove 21, and is respectively used to limit the maximum opposite sliding stroke of the corresponding support plate 2 sliding towards the other support plate 2 and the maximum back-to-back sliding stroke of the corresponding support plate 2 sliding away from the other support plate 2, so as to ensure the functional stability of the sliding of the support plate 2.

[0037] In one embodiment, handle openings 23 are opened at the near outer ends of the two support plates 2 opposite to the inner side ends, so as to facilitate the employees to hold the handle openings 23 and slide and operate the two support plates 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, a probe viewing port is opened on one of the cover plates 4, which corresponds to the position of the side screw hole probe 22 on the side surface of the corresponding support plate 2, and is used to observe the matching situation between the side screw hole probe 22 at this place and the side screw holes of the solid state drive. When it can be visually observed that there is no processed side screw hole on the solid state drive, the extreme screw hole abnormal situation where the probe does not match into the screw hole can be observed.

[0039] The usage method of the embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 , slide the two pallets 2 away from each other in the opposite direction to vacate the space between the two pallets 2;

[0041] Place the solid-state drive to be detected and pasted with a label on the positioning plate 3, and match the bottom screw holes of the solid-state drive with the bottom screw hole probe 31;

[0042] Hold the two pallets 2 and slide the two pallets 2 towards each other to the extreme sliding stroke, driving the two cover plates 4 to approach each other. When the end faces 42 of the two cover plates are seamlessly docked in the horizontal and vertical directions, directly paste the product label in the label pasting positioning window after seamless docking and splicing between the two cover plates 4 to ensure the consistency of the label pasting positions of all such solid-state drive products finally.
