Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3C product assembly, and in particular to a circumferential film pasting device. Background Art

[0002] Mobile phone data cables are used to connect mobile phones to computers. These cables primarily include Micro and Type-C cables for Android devices, as well as Lightning interface cables for Apple devices. For example, a Type-C cable consists of a Type-C connector and a housing that surrounds the connector. Existing Type-C cable production equipment requires two clamping tools to assemble the housing and Type-C connector. However, this clamping process can cause scratches and other damage to the outer surface of the Type-C connector, which can render the connector useless in severe cases.

[0003] Therefore, before assembly, a film will be applied around the Type-C connector. The existing film application method is manual application of the protective film, which has low film application efficiency. In the film application process, the protective film must first be applied to the upper surface of the Type-C connector, and then the protective films on both sides of the upper surface of the Type-C connector are folded downwards. Finally, the protective films on both sides are folded to the lower surface of the Type-C connector. During the folding process, due to uneven force along the length of the Type-C connector, the protective film is prone to folding first at one end and then at the other end, resulting in wrinkles, affecting the appearance and reducing the customer experience.

[0004] Therefore, a circumferential film pasting device is continuously studied to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0045] 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.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides a circumferential film pasting device, which includes a frame 100, a moving component 200, an adsorption head 300 and a toggle component 400. The frame 100 has a film pasting position and a film wrapping position; the moving component 200 is arranged on the frame 100; the adsorption head 300 is arranged at the output end of the moving component 200, and the adsorption head 300 is provided with an adsorption groove 310, and the bottom of the adsorption groove 310 is provided with a suction hole 320; the moving component 200 is used to transfer the workpiece located at the film pasting position and pasted with a protective film 2000 from the film pasting position to the film wrapping position, and when the bottom of the adsorption groove 310 abuts against the upper side of the workpiece, the protective holes 320 on both sides of the workpiece are moved. The protective film 2000 is moved by the groove wall of the adsorption groove 310 and bent downward. The protective film 2000 on one side of the workpiece that is bent downward forms a first bending portion 2100, and the protective film 2000 on the other side of the workpiece that is bent downward forms a second bending portion 2200; the moving component 400 is arranged on the frame 100, and the moving component 400 is configured to cooperate with the moving component 200 so that the first bending portion 2100 and the second bending portion 2200 are both attached to the bottom surface of the workpiece.

[0047] The circumferential film laminating device is provided with an adsorption head 300 and a toggling component 400, so that the above-mentioned film laminating process is automated, thereby improving the efficiency of film laminating. In the film laminating process, the side walls of the adsorption groove 310 are toggled and then bent downward, so that the protective film 2000 is evenly stressed in the length direction of the workpiece and is folded at the corners of the workpiece at the same time, thereby reducing the probability of wrinkles during the folding process, thereby improving the flatness of the protective film 2000 and improving the user experience.

[0048] Specifically, the protective film 2000 is pressed down as a whole by means of the sharp edges at the notch of the adsorption groove 310, and the extension direction of the sharp edges at the notch of the adsorption groove 310 is parallel to the intersection line between the upper side and the left side of the Type-C connector 1000, so that the protective film 2000 can be folded synchronously in the direction of the intersection line, reducing the probability of wrinkles in the protective film 2000 during the downward folding process.

[0049] It should be noted that the workpiece may be the Type-C connector 1000. In other embodiments, it may also be other products with a quadrilateral cross-section. For ease of description and understanding, the workpiece in this embodiment refers to the Type-C connector 1000. Specifically, the Type-C connector 1000 includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a left surface and a right surface. The four surfaces are connected in sequence to form the circumferential surface of the Type-C connector 1000. The length of the protective film 2000 is greater than the circumferential length of the Type-C connector 1000. When sticking the film, the middle part of the protective film 2000 is first stuck on the upper surface, and then the two sides of the protective film 2000 are bent downward through the side walls of the adsorption groove 310 to form a first bending portion 2100 and a second bending portion 2200. The first bending portion 2100 and the second bending portion 2200 are stuck on the left surface and the right surface respectively. Finally, through the cooperation of the toggle component 400 and the adsorption head 300, the parts of the first bending portion 2100 and the second bending portion 2200 located below the Type-C connector 1000 are folded back to the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000.

[0050] In some embodiments, the shifting assembly 400 includes a first shifting claw 410, which is located below the Type-C connector 1000. The first shifting claw 410 can move along the X-direction between a first preparation position and a first shifting position. The first shifting claw 410 in the first preparation position is located on one side of the Type-C connector 1000 and has a gap between it and the first bend 2100. The first shifting claw 410 in the first shifting position is directly below the Type-C connector 1000.

[0051] For ease of understanding, the first pusher claw 410 can be defined as moving the first bent portion 2100 on the left side, and the second pusher claw 420 can move the second bent portion 2200 on the right side. The actual moving portion of the first pusher claw 410 is a surface, defined as the first surface. The first surface is parallel to the intersection of the lower side and the left side of the Type-C connector 1000 and can simultaneously contact the portion of the first bent portion 2100 located below the Type-C connector 1000. During the relative movement of the first pusher claw 410 and the suction head 300, the first surface can fold the first bent portion 2100 and attach it to the lower side of the Type-C connector 1000.

[0052] The toggle assembly 400 includes a second toggle claw 420, which is located below the Type-C connector 1000. The second toggle claw 420 can move along the X direction between a second preparation position and a second toggle position. The second toggle claw 420 in the second preparation position is on the other side of the Type-C connector 1000 and has a gap between it and the second bent portion 2200. The second toggle claw 420 in the second toggle position is directly below the Type-C connector 1000 or on one side of the Type-C connector 1000 and has a gap between it and the Type-C connector 1000. In the above embodiment, there are two implementation methods, one of which is that the second shift claw 420 located in the second shift position is located directly below the Type-C connector 1000. In this implementation method, the second bent portion 2200 is folded and attached to the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, and the end of the second bent portion 2200 is located directly below the Type-C connector 1000 and centered. At this time, the second bent portion 2200, which is folded and located on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, and the first bent portion 2100, which is folded and located on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, do not overlap. In another embodiment, the second shifter claw 420 in the second shifting position is located on the left side of the Type-C connector 1000. In this embodiment, the second bent portion 2200 is folded and affixed to the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, with the end of the second bent portion 2200 located directly below and slightly to the left of the Type-C connector 1000. At this point, the second bent portion 2200, folded and located on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, partially overlaps with the first bent portion 2100, folded and located on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000. In this embodiment, the second bent portion 2200 is longer than the first bent portion 2100. In other embodiments, in order to achieve partial overlap of the second bending portion 2200 and the first bending portion 2100 on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, it can also be achieved by the first bending portion 2100 covering the second bending portion 2200. In this embodiment, it is necessary to first fold the second bending portion 2200 and then fold the first bending portion 2100. After part of the first bending portion 2100 is folded to the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, the first claw 410 is located on the right side of the Type-C connector 1000.

[0053] In addition, the active part of the second shift claw 420 is a surface, defined as the second surface, and the second surface is parallel to the intersection of the lower side and the right side of the Type-C connector 1000, and can simultaneously contact the part of the second bent portion 2200 located below the Type-C connector 1000. During the relative movement of the second shift claw 420 and the adsorption head 300, the second bent portion 2200 can be folded and attached to the lower side of the Type-C connector 1000.

[0054] When the first shifter claw 410 shifts the first bent portion 2100 to bend, if the contact portion between the first shifter claw 410 and the first bent portion 2100 is a vertical surface, the first bent portion 2100 is bent around the intersection of the left side and the lower side of the Type-C connector 1000 during the shifting process. Once the first bent portion 2100 is bent, the movement speed of the lower end of the first bent portion 2100 is greater than the movement speed of the portion of the first bent portion 2100 that is in contact with the lower side. At this time, the first shifter claw 410 and the lower portion of the first bent portion 2100 separate. Under the action of inertia, the lower end of the first bent portion 2100 is likely to bend to the left, resulting in a crease.

[0055] To address the above issues, in some embodiments, the first and second deflector claws 410 and 420 are spaced apart along the X-direction. The first deflector claw 410 has a first inclined surface at its actuating end, which is inclined relative to the second deflector claw 420 in the direction approaching the suction head 300. The second deflector claw 420 has a second inclined surface at its actuating end, which is inclined relative to the first deflector claw 410 in the direction approaching the suction head 300. With this structure, when the first inclined surface actuates the first bent portion 2100, the lower portion of the first inclined surface first contacts the first bent portion 2100, followed by the upper portion of the first inclined surface, thereby tilting the first bent portion 2100. The first bent portion 2100 then tilts rightward under the action of the upper edge of the first inclined surface. This process is smoother than when the first bent portion 2100 is directly actuated on the lower surface of the Type-C connector 1000, reducing the likelihood of wrinkles. Similarly, the probability of wrinkles forming on the second bending portion 2200 during the bending process can be avoided.

[0056] In some embodiments, the toggle assembly 400 includes a transverse driving member 430 and a first toggle driving member 411. The transverse driving member 430 is arranged on the frame 100, the first toggle driving member 411 is arranged at the output end of the transverse driving member 430, and the first toggle claw 410 is arranged at the output end of the first toggle driving member 411. The first toggle driving member 411 is used to drive the first toggle claw 410 to move between a first lifting height and a first lowering height along the Z direction. The transverse driving member 430 drives the first toggle driving member 411 to move, and drives the first toggle claw 410 located at the first lifting height to move between the first ready position and the first toggle position. With the help of the above-mentioned structure, the driving of the toggle assembly 400 is realized, thereby improving the degree of automation; and by setting the first toggle driving member 411, the first toggle claw 410 can be moved in the Z direction, thereby avoiding the protective film 2000, avoiding the path of the first toggle claw 410 during the movement process of the adsorption head 300, and improving the efficiency of the relative movement between the adsorption head 300 and the toggle assembly 400.

[0057] The toggle assembly 400 includes a transverse drive 430 and a second toggle drive 421. The transverse drive 430 is disposed on the frame 100. The second toggle drive 421 is disposed at the output end of the transverse drive 430. The second toggle claw 420 is disposed at the output end of the second toggle drive 421. The second toggle drive 421 is used to drive the second toggle claw 420 to move along the Z direction between a second raised height and a second lowered height. The transverse drive 430 drives the second toggle drive 421 to move, thereby driving the second toggle claw 420, located at the second raised height, to move between a second preparation position and a second toggle position. The above-described structural arrangement enables the toggle assembly 400 to be driven, thereby improving the degree of automation. Furthermore, by providing the second toggle drive 421, the second toggle claw 420 can be moved in the Z direction, thereby avoiding the protective film 2000. During movement, the adsorption head 300 can avoid the path of the second toggle claw 420, thereby improving the efficiency of relative movement between the adsorption head 300 and the toggle assembly 400.

[0058] The combined arrangement of the transverse drive member 430, the first shifting drive member 411, and the second shifting drive member 421 enables continuous shifting of the first and second shifting fingers 410, 420 without interference. Furthermore, the suction head 300 remains stationary during operation, preventing the protective film 2000 from deflecting due to inertia during movement, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the protective film 2000.

[0059] In some embodiments, the shifting assembly 400 includes a first limiting assembly 440, which includes a first limiting member 441 and a first stopper 442. The first limiting member 441 is located at the output end of the first shifting driver 411, and the first stopper 442 is fixed relative to the frame 100. When the first shifting claw 410 is at the first raised height, the first limiting member 441 and the first stopper 442 abut against each other. This structure can limit the height of the first shifting claw 410, preventing the first shifting claw 410 from colliding with the suction head 300 due to excessive lifting.

[0060] The shifting assembly 400 includes a second limiting assembly 450, which includes a second limiting member 451 and a second stopper 452. The second limiting member 451 is located at the output end of the second shifting driver 421, and the second stopper 452 is fixed relative to the frame 100. When the second shifting claw 420 is at the second raised height, the second limiting member 451 and the second stopper 452 abut against each other. This structure can limit the height of the second shifting claw 420, preventing it from being raised too high and causing collisions during movement relative to the suction head 300.

[0061] In some embodiments, the shifting assembly 400 includes a transverse member 460, which is slidably mounted on the frame 100 along the X-direction and is in driving connection with the output end of the transverse driving member 430. The first shifting driving member 411 and the second shifting driving member 421 are both mounted on the transverse member 460. This arrangement enables a single transverse driving assembly to simultaneously drive the first and second shifting fingers 410, 420, thereby reducing the number of drive components, overall size, and cost.

[0062] In some embodiments, the shifting assembly 400 includes a first shifting platform 412, which is located at the output end of the first shifting driver 411. The first shifting claw 410 is located on the first shifting platform 412. The output end of the moving assembly 200 is provided with a limit rod 230. When the Type-C connector 1000 is in the film-wrapped position, there is a gap between the limit rod 230 and the first shifting platform 412. This structure effectively prevents the suction head 300 from moving too far downward due to a program failure during movement, which could cause the Type-C connector 1000 to collide with the first shifting claw 410 or the second shifting claw 420.

[0063] The toggle assembly 400 includes a second toggle platform 422, which is provided at the output end of the second toggle driver 421, and a second finger 420 is provided on the second toggle platform 422. The arrangement of the toggle platform and the finger facilitates assembly and disassembly between the finger and the driver.

[0064] When the first pusher 410 and the suction head 300 move relative to each other, the first pusher 410 is located below the suction head 300, and the first pusher 410 and the suction head 300 are spaced apart in the Y direction. This arrangement allows the width of the suction head 300 and the first pusher 410 in the Y direction to be smaller than the width of the protective film 2000 in the Y direction, saving costs.

[0065] To improve film application efficiency, in some embodiments, multiple suction heads 300 are provided, spaced apart along the X-direction at the output end of the movable assembly 200. A plurality of first pusher fingers 410 are provided, equal in number to the number of suction heads 300, and spaced apart along the X-direction on the first moving platform 412. Multiple suction heads 300 are provided, spaced apart along the X-direction at the output end of the movable assembly 200. A plurality of second pusher fingers 420 are provided, equal in number to the number of suction heads 300, and spaced apart along the X-direction on the second moving platform 422. This configuration enables simultaneous film application to multiple Type-C connectors 1000. Specifically, four suction heads 300 can be provided, with four first pusher fingers 410 and four second pusher fingers 420. In other embodiments, the number of suction heads 300 can range from 5 to 10, with the number of first pusher fingers 410 and second pusher fingers 420 equal to the number of suction heads 300.

[0066] The moving assembly 200 includes a linear module 210 and a moving drive 220. The linear module 210 is mounted on the frame 100, and the moving drive 220 is located at the output end of the linear module 210. The adsorption head 300 is located at the output end of the moving drive 220. The linear module 210 drives the moving drive 220 in the Y direction, while the moving drive 220 drives the adsorption head 300 in the Z direction. This structural arrangement enables the adsorption head 300 to be driven in both the Y and Z directions, thereby cooperating with the shifting assembly 400 located at the film wrapping position.

[0067] In some embodiments, a plurality of adsorption heads 300 are provided, spaced apart along the X-direction at the output end of the movable drive member 220. In this embodiment, multiple Type-C connectors 1000 can be simultaneously adsorbed, improving the film wrapping efficiency of the Type-C connectors 1000. The arrangement direction of the adsorption heads 300 is perpendicular to the Y-direction, so that during the movement along the Y-direction, only the Y-direction dimension of one Type-C connector 1000 needs to be considered, thereby reducing the overall Y-direction dimension of the circumferential film laminating device.

[0068] The output end of the mobile driver 220 is provided with a mobile plate 221, and the adsorption head 300 is disposed on the mobile plate 221. The mobile driver 220 drives the mobile plate 221 to move in the Z direction, thereby driving the adsorption head 300 to move in the Z direction. In this embodiment, a limiting rod 230 is disposed on the mobile plate 221.

[0069] In some embodiments, the frame 100 further includes a film removal station; the circumferential film application device includes a robot 500, which is used to transfer the protective film 2000 from the film removal station and apply it to the Type-C connector 1000 located at the film application station. This configuration further improves film application efficiency and the relative accuracy between the protective film 2000 and the Type-C connector 1000. In other embodiments, the protective film 2000 can be manually placed on the Type-C connector 1000 using a suitable jig.

[0070] In some embodiments, the frame 100 is provided with a detection assembly 610 and a film supply assembly 620. The film supply assembly 620 is located at the film removal position and is used to provide the protective film 2000. The manipulator 500 removes the protective film 2000 and inspects it at the detection assembly 610. Qualified protective films 2000 are moved to the film application position, and unqualified protective films 2000 are moved to the waste bin. Specifically, the detection assembly 610 includes a camera, which is located on the frame 100 and shoots upward. This configuration allows the manipulator 500 to complete the inspection of the protective film 2000 during its movement, improving inspection efficiency.
