Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of product assembly technology, specifically a fixture structure for automatically flattening aluminum foil. [Background Technology]

[0002] A laptop's casing mainly consists of four parts: the A-shell, B-shell, C-shell, and D-shell. With the laptop closed and placed horizontally on a table, arranged from top to bottom: the topmost piece of the laptop cover is the A-shell, which is the back of the LCD screen, also known as the rear cover; the screen bezel surrounding the LCD panel is the B-shell, also known as the front bezel; the area around the keyboard is the C-shell, also known as the keyboard panel; and the base against the table is the D-shell, also known as the bottom cover. During laptop casing production, aluminum foil needs to be applied to the A-shell's mold surface. After applying the aluminum foil, it needs to be smoothed. While assembly lines have automated aluminum foil application equipment, smoothing the aluminum foil has remained a non-automated process.

[0003] Previously, after applying aluminum foil to the product, it was necessary to manually use tools such as scrapers to smooth the aluminum foil. We also tried pressing the entire surface flat, but the air bubbles generated between the aluminum foil and the product during the application process could not be resolved, and the manual operation was too strenuous and time-consuming.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to invent a fixture structure for automatically flattening aluminum foil. By using this fixture structure in conjunction with an electronic control program, automation can be achieved and the aluminum foil can be flattened quickly, reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving production efficiency. [Summary of the Invention]

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fixture structure for automatically flattening aluminum foil, which is used to automatically flatten aluminum foil attached to the surface of a product. Compared with the previous operation mode, this structure realizes automation and achieves the effect of quickly flattening aluminum foil, reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A fixture structure for automatically flattening aluminum foil, used for automatically flattening aluminum foil attached to the surface of a product, comprising:

[0008] A base, wherein the base is provided with two support seats, the higher support seat being fixedly connected to a fixing device, and the lower support seat being fixedly connected to a flattened aluminum foil system;

[0009] A fixing device, the fixing device including a support platform and a cylinder, wherein the support platform is fixed on a higher support seat of the base, and the cylinder is fixed on the support platform;

[0010] A flattening aluminum foil system, which mainly includes a slide rail, a rodless cylinder, a slide table, a pressing cylinder, a machine head, rollers, and a proximity switch, wherein...

[0011] The slide rail is fixed to the lower support of the base;

[0012] A rodless cylinder is fixed on a lower support of the base, and the rodless cylinder is parallel to the slide rail;

[0013] The slide table has a groove on one side of its bottom, which is fitted into the slide rail. The other side of the bottom of the slide table is fixed to the piston of the rodless cylinder. The rodless cylinder outputs the power for linear reciprocating motion, so that the slide table can move back and forth on the slide rail.

[0014] A downward pressure cylinder is mounted on a long arm extending from the slide table, and the long arm is fixed to the downward pressure cylinder as a whole.

[0015] The machine head is located on a fixed plate at the end of the three shafts of the pressing cylinder. The machine head is equipped with rollers for rolling aluminum foil. The rodless cylinder provides power for the horizontal movement of the rollers, and the pressing cylinder provides power for the vertical movement of the rollers.

[0016] A proximity switch is located near the rodless cylinder and fixed to the outside of a lower support on the base. The proximity switch sends a sensing signal to the electronic control program center, which then controls the operation of the aforementioned mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the support platform has a product placement area, two clearance sections, and a reference angle. The support platform has four cylinders, which are evenly distributed on both sides opposite the reference angle. When the product is placed on the support platform and aligned with the reference angle, the position of the product is fixed by the linear reciprocating motion output by the four cylinders. The support platform and the four cylinders can be adjusted to suit different products.

[0018] Furthermore, the slide is installed horizontally, and the bottom surface of the slide is provided with a slide groove mounting block, and the two are fixed together. The slide groove mounting block is provided with a slide groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the slide rail is fixed to a lower support on the base by a slide rail support plate and a slide table support plate. The slide rail is long and narrow, and the slide rail support plate is rectangular. The two are fixed together. The slide rail support plate is fixedly installed on the slide table support plate, which is rectangular and horizontally fixed to the lower support on the base.

[0020] Furthermore, the cylinder body of the rodless cylinder is tubular, with "L"-shaped brackets fixed at both ends. These brackets are seamlessly fitted with the slide plate in the horizontal direction and are fixed by screws.

[0021] Furthermore, the long arm of the slide is L-shaped in the horizontal direction. The long arm is a plate-shaped structure set perpendicular to the slide, and the two are fixed together. A reinforcing rib is provided at the vertical angle between the two. The reinforcing rib is approximately triangular in shape, with one corner being a right angle. The two sides of the right angle are seamlessly fitted and fixed to the slide and the long arm, respectively.

[0022] Furthermore, the downward-pressing cylinder is a three-axis cylinder.

[0023] Furthermore, the machine head is fixedly connected to the fixing plate at the end of the three shafts of the downward cylinder by screws. The machine head is set horizontally, and the roller inside is a rubber roller.

[0024] Furthermore, the machine head is equipped with two guide rods, which are symmetrically arranged with the lower pressure cylinder as the center. One end of the guide rod is vertically fixed to the machine head, and the other end passes through the mounting block. The mounting block is fixed on the long arm of the slide table, which serves to position the guide rods. The guide rods serve to guide the movement of the machine head, making the vertical reciprocating movement of the machine head more stable, thereby making the rollers inside the machine head work more effectively.

[0025] Furthermore, the proximity switches are fixed to the outside of a lower support base of the base by mounting blocks and connectors. The proximity switches are proximity switch A and proximity switch B. Let the direction of the linear reciprocating motion output by the rodless cylinder be the Y-axis. The position of proximity switch A on the Y-axis is the starting point of the machine head pressing down, and the position of proximity switch B on the Y-axis is the ending point of the aluminum foil pressing of the product. The positions of the two proximity switches on the Y-axis can be flexibly adjusted to send induction signals to the electronic control program center.

[0026] Compared to existing technologies, this invention combines a fixture structure with an electronic control program, enabling automatic flattening of aluminum foil for different products and achieving rapid flattening, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0031] To further understand the purpose, technical effects, and technical means of this invention, a detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fixture structure for automatically flattening aluminum foil according to the present invention consists of a base (1), a fixing device (2), and a rapid flattening aluminum foil system (3).

[0032] The base (1) is an integral shape and is in the form of a stepped shelf. There is a rectangular support frame 110 at the bottom. There are two cuboid support seats on the support frame 110, namely support seat (120) and support seat (130). The two support seats are of the same length and are arranged side by side. Support seat (130) is higher than support seat (120). Support seat (130) is wider and higher and is composed of six support rods (131). The six support rods (131) stand vertically on the support frame 110. One end of the six support rods (131) is fixedly connected to the support frame (110) and the other end is fixedly connected to the support platform (210) of the fixing device (2). The six support rods (131) are evenly distributed so that the support platform (210) receives a balanced support force.

[0033] The fixing device (2) includes a support platform (210), which is cuboid in shape and fixed to a wider and taller support base (130) on the base (1). The support platform (210) has a product placement area (211), which is recessed into the support platform (210) in a shape similar to the female mold surface of the product (4). The support platform (210) has two clearance parts (212), which are located in the middle of the product placement area (211) and extend to the edge of the support platform (210). Since the male mold surface of the product (4) needs to face upward when the robot (not shown in the figure) puts the product (4) into the support platform (210), and the female mold surface of the product (4) faces upward in the previous process, the product (4) needs to be flipped before being put into the support platform (210). The support platform (210) is provided with a reference angle (213) located at one of the four corners of the support platform (210) and at the corner near the fast flattening aluminum foil system (3). A plane (214) protrudes from the two straight sides of the corner. The protruding plane (214) is in the shape of an "L". The right angle formed is the reference angle (213). One corner of the product placement area (211) is aligned with the reference angle (213). The support platform (210) is provided with four cylinders (215). The four cylinders (215) are evenly distributed and fixed on the two sides of the support platform (210) opposite to the reference angle (213). The product (4) is placed on the support platform (210) and aligned with the reference angle (213). The position of the product (4) is fixed by the linear reciprocating motion output by the pneumatic cylinder (215).

[0034] The flattening aluminum foil system (3) includes a slide table (310), which is rectangular in shape and installed horizontally. The slide table (310) has a slide groove mounting block (311) on its bottom surface, and the two are fixed together. The slide groove mounting block (311) is rectangular in shape and is installed with a slide rail (312) through a slide groove at its bottom. The slide rail (312) is long and is fixed together with a slide rail support plate (313). The slide rail support plate (313) is rectangular in shape and is fixedly installed on the slide table support plate (314). The slide table support plate (314) is rectangular in shape and is placed horizontally and fixed on the support seat (120) of the base (1).

[0035] A rodless cylinder (320) is provided between the slide table (310) and the slide table support plate (314). The cylinder body of the rodless cylinder (320) is tubular, and "L"-shaped brackets (321) are fixed at both ends. The brackets (321) form trapezoidal plates in the vertical direction and rectangular plates in the horizontal direction. The brackets (321) fit seamlessly with the slide table support plate (314) in the horizontal direction and are fixed by screws. Thus, the rodless cylinder (320) is fixed on the slide table support plate (314) and is arranged parallel to the slide rail (312). The piston (322) of the rodless cylinder (320) is fixed to the bottom surface of the slide table (310) as one piece. The rodless cylinder (320) outputs the power of linear reciprocating motion, so that the slide table (310) can move back and forth on the slide rail (312).

[0036] The slide (310) is provided with a long arm (315), which is L-shaped in the horizontal direction and is plate-shaped and perpendicular to the slide (310). The two are fixed together, and a reinforcing rib (316) is provided at the vertical angle between the two. The reinforcing rib (316) is approximately triangular in shape, with one corner being a right angle. The two sides of the right angle are seamlessly fitted and fixed to the slide (310) and the long arm (315). The long arm (315) is provided with a pressing cylinder (330), and the two are fixed together. In this embodiment, the pressing cylinder (330) is a three-axis cylinder.

[0037] A machine head (331) is provided on the fixed plate at the end of the three shafts of the downward cylinder (330), and is fixedly connected by screws. The machine head (331) is horizontally set and is rectangular when viewed from above. It is provided with a roller (332) for rolling aluminum foil. The roller (332) is a rubber roller located in the bottom area of ​​the machine head (331). Its two ends are fixed inside the machine head (331), and the roller (332) can rotate relative to the machine head (331). The machine head (331) is provided with two guide rods (333). The guide rod (333) is symmetrically arranged around the lower pressure cylinder (330). One end of the guide rod is vertically fixed to the machine head (331), and the other end passes through the mounting block (334). The mounting block (334) is fixed on the long arm (315) of the slide table (310) and serves to position the guide rod (333). The guide rod (333) serves to guide the movement of the machine head (331), making the vertical reciprocating movement of the machine head (331) more stable, thereby making the roller (332) inside the machine head (331) work more effectively.

[0038] Two proximity switches are provided near the rodless cylinder (320), namely proximity switch A (340) and proximity switch B (341) (represented by mounting blocks 340 & 341 in the figure). Let the direction of the linear reciprocating motion output by the rodless cylinder (320) be the Y-axis. The position of proximity switch A (340) on the Y-axis is the starting point of the machine head (331) pressing down, and the position of proximity switch B (341) on the Y-axis is the ending point of the aluminum foil pressing of the product (4). The two proximity switches are fixed to the outside of the support base (120) of the base (1) by mounting blocks and connectors (not shown in the figure). The positions of the two proximity switches on the Y-axis can be flexibly adjusted to send induction signals to the electronic control program center.

[0039] The robot (not shown in the figure) places the product (4) into the product placement area (211) of the support platform (210). The robot then retreats, and at the same time, the electronic control program center (not shown in the figure) controls the rodless cylinder (320) to start outputting power, causing the slide (310) to move together with the flattening aluminum foil system (3) that is fixedly connected to the slide (310). When the slide (310) moves to the proximity switch A (340), the proximity switch A (340) sends a sensing signal to the electronic control program center, which then controls the pressing cylinder (330) to output power, causing the rubber roller (332) of the machine head (331) to press down onto the product (4). The roller (332) rolls the aluminum foil under the power output of the rodless cylinder (320). When the slide table (310) runs to the proximity switch B (341), the proximity switch B (341) sends a sensing signal to the electronic control program center. The electronic control program center controls the downward pressure cylinder (330) to output power, so that the rubber roller (332) of the machine head (331) returns to the initial height. The electronic control program center controls the rodless cylinder (320) to output power, so that the slide table (310) moves back to its original position along with the part of the flattened aluminum foil system (3) that is fixedly connected to the slide table (310). At the same time, the electronic control program center controls the robot to take out the product and transfer it to the next process.

[0040] The above implementation method is more reasonable. In actual work, the product placement area (211) of the support platform (210) can be adjusted as needed. By adjusting the fixing device (2), the aluminum foil of different products can be automatically flattened. The present invention is a combination of fixture structure and electronic control program, which can realize the automatic flattening of aluminum foil of different products and achieve the effect of quickly flattening aluminum foil, reducing the intensity of manual operation and reducing costs, and is suitable for production line application.

[0041] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
