Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of stylus pen production, and in particular relates to a fully automatic gluing and pressing device for a nose cone of an active stylus pen. Background Art
[0002] A stylus is a commonly used input component for touch-screen devices. It is used to replace fingers for precise clicking, drawing lines, and other operations on the touch screen. Existing styluses are roughly divided into two categories: passive styluses and active styluses. Passive styluses cannot interact with touch-screen devices and can only simulate the clicking action of fingers. They have fewer functions. Active styluses can interact with touch-screen devices and have more powerful functions when used. Most mainstream touch-screen devices on the market (such as tablets, iPads, etc.) are equipped with active styluses.
[0003] To achieve information interaction with touch-screen devices, most active styluses include a pen tip with HSG function, a PCB board that is inserted into the pen tip and extends from the tail of the pen tip for signal transmission, and a nose cone that is mounted on the tail of the pen tip for connecting to the pen body. These components are relatively small in size. Generally speaking, the pen tip is cylindrical, with a length not exceeding 16mm and a diameter not exceeding 2.5mm; the PCB board is long and has a length not exceeding 10mm, a thickness not exceeding 0.8mm, and a width not exceeding 1.6mm; the length of the nose cone does not exceed 12mm, and the diameter does not exceed 8mm. To ensure the assembly effect of the pen tip and the nose cone, when mounting, it is necessary to first apply glue circumferentially to the corresponding position of the pen tip, and then squeeze it into the nose cone in a set posture for press-fit bonding. The existing production method is usually manual: first hold the pen tip in one hand and the glue gun in the other hand, and achieve 360-degree glue application by rotating the pen tip and pushing the glue gun to discharge glue. After the glue application is completed, the pen tip is squeezed backward into the nose cone for press-fit bonding. This method has at least the following problems:
[0004] 1. The handheld gluing method is inconvenient to operate, the gluing position and amount are difficult to accurately control, and the gluing effect is poor.
[0005] 2. Low efficiency and long time consumption. The volatilization of organic solvents in the glue will affect the health of operators and pose a safety hazard.
[0006] 3. The PCB board extending from the end of the pen tip is a cantilever beam structure, which is easily warped by touch during movement and picking up. When the degree of warping is large, it will affect the operation of squeezing the pen tip into the nose cone, making it difficult to accurately align the pen tip and nose cone.
[0007] 4. The speed, force and posture control when the pen tip is squeezed into the nose cone are all based on human observation. The position of the pen tip and the nose cone in the axial direction and / or circumferential direction is prone to deviation, resulting in unqualified products, poor consistency and low yield.

[0077] In the second step, the three-coordinate workbench 23 is manually controlled to move the tip of the glue-applying needle 21 into the square alignment hole 242. The three-coordinate workbench 23 is also controlled to move the tip of the glue-applying needle 21 to the detection point, so that the two sets of optical fiber sensors are triggered to complete the positioning of the glue-applying needle 21.

When the glue discharge time is over, the three-coordinate workbench 23 is controlled to move, and the gluing needle 21 is moved to the gluing setting position (above the cylindrical part 71 of the clamping jaw 332), and then controls the second servo motor 361 to rotate and controls the gluing needle 21 to start gluing. Glue, after the clamping bracket 32 rotates one circle, stop gluing and move the gluing needle 21 to above the waste glue tank 25, then control the first servo motor 351 to rotate, so that the bracket seat 31 moves to the right, until the detection value of the pressure sensor 342 exceeds the set value, stop the rotation of the first servo motor 351, and release the clamping jaws 332. After the clamping jaws 332 are released in place, control the first servo motor 351 to reverse, so that the bracket seat 31 moves to the left to the initial position, and control the light curing unit to start, irradiate the nose cone to cure the glue. After the irradiation time is over, the baffle door 123 is automatically opened, indicating that the gluing and pressing operation is completed;
[0082] Step 7: manually loosen the pressing plate locking plate 513 to rotate the nose cone pressing plate 52 and expose the nose cone placement groove 511, and remove the pen nose cone after press-fitting.
