Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable routing technology, and more particularly to cable routing flipping devices and cable routing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic product includes a first component and a second component. The upper surface of the first component has an assembly slot for fitting the second component. During production assembly, the second component needs to be assembled into the assembly slot from top to bottom. During this assembly process, it is crucial to ensure that no other objects exist along the trajectory of the second component; otherwise, interference will occur, leading to assembly failure. However, since it is an electronic product, the first component has a ribbon cable, part of which is fixed outside the assembly slot and part of which lies inside. To prevent this ribbon cable from interfering with the assembly of the second component, it needs to be flipped over during the assembly process to avoid displacement.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are many devices for flipping ribbon cables to avoid misalignment, such as using a rotary cylinder in conjunction with a vacuum suction cup to easily and conveniently flip the ribbon cable. However, these devices occupy a relatively large volume.

[0004] As an electronic product, not only does the first component have ribbon cables, but the second component also has its own ribbon cables. Therefore, in the assembly process between the second component and the first component's assembly slot, a ribbon cable guiding mechanism is needed to guide the ribbon cables from the second component into the first component's assembly slot. The ribbon cable guiding mechanism and the mechanism for assembling the second component occupy almost all the space above the first component. Given this occupied space above the first component, the large-volume ribbon cable flipping devices in existing technology are clearly unsuitable for operations in confined spaces.

[0005] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a cable reversing device that can meet the requirements of working in confined spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the large size of existing cable turning devices, which cannot be adapted to operation in narrow spaces, and to provide a cable turning device and cable turning equipment. The cable turning is achieved by setting a driving mechanism and a turning mechanism. The overall structure is simple and compact, which can meet the needs of operation in narrow spaces and has a high space utilization rate.

[0007] This invention provides a ribbon cable flipping device, including a mounting base with a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other; a driving mechanism disposed on the mounting base; and a flipping mechanism including a first connecting rod, a vacuum suction head component, and an elastic reset component. The axial direction of the first connecting rod is parallel to the first direction, one end of the first connecting rod is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism, and the other end of the first connecting rod has a first mounting groove and a positioning part. The elastic reset component is disposed in the first mounting groove, and the vacuum suction head component is rotatably disposed in the first mounting groove. The flipping mechanism includes a first state and a second state. When the flipping mechanism is in the first state, the elastic reset component provides an elastic force to the vacuum suction head component, causing the vacuum suction head component to abut against the positioning part. When the flipping mechanism is in the second state, the vacuum suction head component overcomes the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component and rotates, separating the vacuum suction head component from the positioning part.

When the flipping mechanism is in the first state, the driving mechanism drives the vacuum suction head component away from the rotating guide portion, and the elastic reset component provides an elastic force to the vacuum suction head component, causing the vacuum suction head component to abut against the positioning portion. When the flipping mechanism is in the second state, the driving mechanism drives the vacuum suction head component closer to the rotating guide portion, and the rotating guide portion provides a supporting force to the vacuum suction head component, causing the vacuum suction head component to overcome the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component and rotate, thus separating the vacuum suction head component from the positioning portion.

The moving direction of the driving end of the fifth driving component is parallel to the first direction, and the driving end of the fifth driving component is connected to the first connecting rod.

The positioning and lifting slider is connected to the positioning and lifting top plate. The positioning and lifting base plate has a first receiving hole adapted to the positioning and lifting slider, and the positioning and lifting top plate has a second receiving hole adapted to the positioning and lifting slide rail. When the positioning and lifting drive component moves the positioning and lifting top plate relatively closer to the positioning and lifting base plate, the positioning and lifting slider is housed in the first receiving hole, and the positioning and lifting slide rail is housed in the second receiving hole.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, a clearance lifting device is further included. The clearance lifting device is disposed below the mounting base, and the drive end of the clearance lifting device is connected to the mounting base.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] This invention discloses a ribbon cable flipping device, comprising a mounting base 10, a driving mechanism 20, and a flipping mechanism 30. (See reference...) Figure 1As shown, the mounting base 10 serves as a support component for mounting other components. The mounting base 10 includes a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that are perpendicular to each other; preferably, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are horizontally arranged. The drive mechanism 20 serves as the power source for the flipping mechanism 30, controlling the flipping mechanism 30 to flip the cable. The drive mechanism 20 is mounted on the mounting base 10. The flipping mechanism 30 is the actuator for flipping the cable in a confined space. Specifically, the flipping mechanism 30 includes a first connecting rod 31, a vacuum suction head component 32, and an elastic reset component 33. The first connecting rod 31 allows for the transmission of force between the drive mechanism 20 and the vacuum suction head component 32 without the large drive mechanism 20 entering the confined working space, effectively improving space utilization and meeting the operational requirements for flipping cables in confined spaces. The axial direction of the first connecting rod 31 is parallel to the first direction D1. One end of the first connecting rod 31 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 20. The other end of the first connecting rod 31 is provided with a first mounting groove 314 and a positioning part 315. The first mounting groove 314 is used to install the elastic reset component 33 and the vacuum suction head component 32. The positioning part 315 ensures the positioning of the vacuum suction head component 32 and prevents it from over-displacement under the elastic force of the elastic reset component 33. Different elastic reset components 33 and specific positions of the positioning part 315 can be selected to achieve rapid alignment and adsorption of different cables by the vacuum suction head component 32, improving work efficiency. The elastic reset component 33 is set in the first mounting groove 314, and the vacuum suction head component 32 is rotatably set in the first mounting groove 314. The vacuum suction head component 32 is reset after rotation by the elastic reset component 33. The vacuum suction head component 32 is a prior art technology. It achieves adsorption of the cable of the first component by connecting negative pressure, and flips the cable after adsorption. The negative pressure device can be integrated into the overall design or connected to an external negative pressure device, depending on actual needs. After the cable is flipped and the second component is assembled with the first component, the negative pressure is disconnected to allow the cable to reset. The flipping mechanism 30 has a simple and compact structure, effectively replacing bulky rotary cylinders and other components to flip the cable, meeting the needs of working environments in confined spaces.

[0039] In the existing technology, excluding the influence of the large volume of the rotary cylinder, if the vacuum suction head component 32 is directly fixedly connected to the rotation center of the rotary cylinder, it will be difficult to find the flip center of the ribbon cable. If the tolerance is large, there is a risk of tearing the ribbon cable. On the other hand, if the vacuum suction head component 32 is fixedly installed on the non-rotation center of the rotary cylinder, there are too many variables, which will make it difficult to simulate the suction process.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the flipping mechanism 30 includes a first state and a second state. This simplifies the flipping process of the cable and facilitates precise adjustment for cable flipping and avoidance. When the flipping mechanism 30 is in the first state, the elastic reset component 33 provides an elastic force to the vacuum suction head component 32, causing the vacuum suction head component 32 to abut against the positioning part 315. Preferably, before and after the cable flipping is performed, the flipping mechanism 30 enters the first state, and the vacuum suction head component 32 is disconnected from the negative pressure device to facilitate subsequent positioning during cable flipping. When the flipping mechanism 30 is in the second state, the vacuum suction head component 32 overcomes the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component 33 and rotates, separating from the positioning part 315. Preferably, during the cable flipping process, the flipping mechanism 30 enters the second state, and the vacuum suction head component 32 is connected to the negative pressure device and adsorbs the cable, achieving cable flipping and avoidance.

[0041] Specifically, firstly, after the product reaches the workstation, the drive mechanism 20 drives the flipping mechanism 30, which is in the first state, to move above the first component's cable. Then, the flipping mechanism 30 connects to the negative pressure device and generates negative pressure to attract the cable of the first component. Next, the drive mechanism 20 moves the flipping mechanism 30 away from the first component. At this time, the vacuum suction head component 32 overcomes the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component 33 and rotates. The vacuum suction head component 32 separates from the positioning part 315. Since one end of the cable is not fixed, while the other end is fixed to the first component, the cable flips under the action of the vacuum suction head component 32 and completes the avoidance. Finally, the assembly of the first and second components is completed. The vacuum suction head component 32 disconnects from the negative pressure device, the cable resets, and the flipping mechanism 30 enters the first state from the second state for subsequent operations.

[0042] The cable flipping device of this invention, by setting a drive mechanism 20 and a flipping mechanism 30 including a first connecting rod 31, a vacuum suction head component 32, and an elastic reset component 33, replaces the traditional rotary cylinder, realizing the flipping and avoidance of cables in confined working environments. The first connecting rod 31 prevents the bulky drive mechanism 20 from entering the working space and ensures the transmission of force between the drive mechanism 20 and the vacuum suction head component 32. The elastic reset component 33 and the positioning part 315 cooperate to ensure that the vacuum suction head component 32 can quickly align and adsorb the cable, improving work efficiency. The overall structure is simple and compact, meeting the needs of working in confined spaces with high space utilization. It also simplifies the cable flipping process, facilitating precise adjustment and avoidance of the cable during flipping.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the cable flipping device of the present invention, the first mounting groove 314 includes a first groove portion 3141 and a second groove portion 3142, the second groove portion 3142 being connected to the first groove portion 3141. Preferably, the first groove portion 3141 is configured as a cylindrical structure, and the axial direction of the first groove portion 3141 is parallel to the second direction D2, to meet the operational requirements of the cable being located below the flipping mechanism 30. The second groove portion 3142 and the positioning portion 315 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction D1, effectively ensuring that the vacuum suction head component 32, when in the first state, can abut against the positioning portion 315 under the elastic force of the elastic reset component 33, facilitating subsequent rapid alignment of the cable and flipping operation. The vacuum suction head component 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 321 and a second mounting groove 322. Preferably, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 321 is parallel to the axial direction of the first groove portion 3141. The rotating shaft 321 is rotatably disposed within the first groove portion 3141, and preferably, the two are engaged by a snap ring or the like. The second mounting groove 322 includes a third groove 3221. The extending direction of the third groove 3221 forms an angle with the extending direction of the second groove 3142, and the size of the angle can be set according to the different elastic force requirements. Preferably, the second mounting groove 322 also includes a fourth groove 3222. The fourth groove 3222 is arranged around the rotation shaft 321 to cooperate with the first groove 3141 to realize the installation of the elastic reset component 33, while improving space utilization and further reducing the volume of the entire flipping mechanism 30 to meet the operation requirements of confined spaces. The elastic reset component 33 is set as a torsion spring, which includes a first end 331, a torsion spring body 332, and a second end 333 connected in sequence. The torsion spring body 332 is sleeved on the rotation shaft 321 and is located in the first groove 3141, the first end 331 is located in the second groove 3142, and the second end 333 is located in the third groove 3221. By setting a torsion spring as the elastic reset component 33, compared with rotary cylinders and other elastic reset components 33, the structure is simple and can effectively meet the needs of flipping the cable in a narrow space and realize the reset of the vacuum suction head component 32.

[0044] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments of the cable flipping device of the present invention, the flipping mechanism 30 further includes a second connecting rod 34. The axial direction of the second connecting rod 34 is parallel to the first direction D1. The second connecting rod 34 is disposed on the radial side of the first connecting rod 31, and a rotating guide portion 344 is provided on one end of the second connecting rod 34. Preferably, the end face of the rotating guide portion 344 that abuts against the vacuum suction head component 32 is provided with a rounded corner to effectively avoid hard contact and ensure service life. The installation position of the other end of the second connecting rod 34 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, it can be directly fixedly connected to the mounting base 10 or connected to one of the driving ends of the driving mechanism 20. In actual use, the cable is flipped and avoided by directly driving the cable through the vacuum suction head component 32. Since the connection end of the cable with the first component and the contact end with the vacuum suction head component 32 are subjected to force at the same time, there is still a risk of damage or tearing of the cable. To avoid this situation, the second connecting rod 34 abuts against the vacuum suction head component 32, distributing the force on the cable and reducing the force on the connection end between the cable and the first component, thus lowering the risk of tearing. Specifically, when the flipping mechanism 30 is in the first state, the drive mechanism 20 moves the vacuum suction head component 32 away from the rotating guide portion 344, separating the vacuum suction head component 32 from the rotating guide portion 344. The elastic reset component 33 provides an elastic force to the vacuum suction head component 32, causing the vacuum suction head component 32 to abut against the positioning portion 315. When the flipping mechanism 30 is in the second state, the drive mechanism 20 moves the vacuum suction head component 32 closer to the rotating guide portion 344. The rotating guide portion 344 provides a supporting force to the vacuum suction head component 32, causing the vacuum suction head component 32 to overcome the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component 33 and rotate, separating the vacuum suction head component 32 from the positioning portion 315. By setting a second connecting rod 34, the original flipping action is further refined. After the vacuum suction head component 32 contacts the rotating guide part 344, the vacuum suction head component 32 rotates again, so as to more accurately realize the flipping action of the ribbon cable and avoid damage to the ribbon cable.

[0045] Furthermore, refer to Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments of the cable flipping device of the present invention, the first connecting rod 31 includes a first rod segment 311, a second rod segment 312, and a third rod segment 313. The axial directions of both the first rod segment 311 and the third rod segment 313 are parallel to the first direction D1. One end of the first rod segment 311 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 20, and the other end of the first rod segment 311 is connected to the third rod segment 313 via the second rod segment 312. The axial direction of the second rod segment 312 is vertical, and the second rod segment 312 is positioned close to the mounting base 10. The first mounting groove 314 and the positioning part 315 are both provided on the third rod segment 313. By configuring the three rod segments of the first connecting rod 31, the vacuum suction head component 32 can be made closer to the cable to be flipped, improving space utilization. Similarly, the second connecting rod 34 includes a fourth rod segment 341, a fifth rod segment 342, and a sixth rod segment 343; the axial directions of the fourth rod segment 341 and the sixth rod segment 343 are both parallel to the first direction D1, and one end of the fourth rod segment 341 is connected to the sixth rod segment 343 through the fifth rod segment 342; the axial direction of the fifth rod segment 342 is vertical, and the fifth rod segment 342 is located close to the mounting base 10; the rotating guide part 344 is provided on the sixth rod segment 343 to adapt to the first connecting rod 31.

[0046] Furthermore, refer to Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the cable reversing device of the present invention, an auxiliary support portion 345 is provided on the second connecting rod 34. The auxiliary support portion 345 protrudes radially toward the first connecting rod 31 along the second connecting rod 34, and is used to provide support for the first connecting rod 31. Regardless of whether the first connecting rod 31 has only one segment or three segments, it needs a certain length to be able to extend into confined spaces for operation. Under a constant force, the longer the length, the greater the torque, and the more prone the first connecting rod 31 is to sway and become unstable. To overcome this problem, the auxiliary support portion 345 is provided on the second connecting rod 34 to provide support for the first connecting rod 31, thereby improving structural stability.

[0047] Reference Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments of the cable flipping device of the present invention, the driving mechanism 20 includes a first driving component 21, a second driving component 22, a third driving component 23, and a fourth driving component 24. The first driving component 21 is used to realize the overall movement of the flipping mechanism 30 and other driving components, so as to avoid other devices to perform operations, such as avoiding positioning of a visual inspection device. The first driving component 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 10, and the movement direction of the driving end of the first driving component 21 is parallel to the first direction D1. Preferably, the first driving component 21 is configured as a pneumatic slide. The second driving component 22 is used to realize the movement of the corresponding driving component and the flipping mechanism 30 in the second direction D2. The second driving component 22 is fixedly mounted on the driving end of the first driving component 21, and the movement direction of the driving end of the second driving component 22 is parallel to the second direction D2. Preferably, the second driving component 22 is configured as an electric slide. The third driving component 23 is used to move the corresponding driving component and the flipping mechanism 30. The third driving component 23 is fixedly mounted on the driving end of the second driving component 22, and the movement direction of the driving end of the third driving component 23 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, respectively. Preferably, the third driving component 23 is an electric slide table. When the driving mechanism 20 has only four driving components, the fourth driving component 24 is used to drive the first connecting rod 31. When the driving mechanism 20 has only four driving components and a second connecting rod 34 is provided, the second connecting rod 34 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 10. The fourth driving component 24 is fixedly mounted on the driving end of the third driving component 23, and the movement direction of the driving end of the fourth driving component 24 is parallel to the first direction D1. The driving end of the fourth driving component 24 is connected to the first connecting rod 31. By setting the first driving component 21 to achieve overall avoidance, and setting the second driving component 22, the third driving component 23 and the fourth driving component 24 to achieve the positioning and driving of the flipping mechanism 30, more complex actions can be completed and precise adjustments can be achieved.

[0048] Furthermore, refer to Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments of the cable reversing device of the present invention, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a fifth driving component 25. The fifth driving component 25 is fixedly mounted on the driving end of the fourth driving component 24. The moving direction of the driving end of the fifth driving component 25 is parallel to the first direction D1, and the driving end of the fifth driving component 25 is connected to the first connecting rod 31. When the fifth driving component 25 is provided, the second connecting rod 34 is connected to the driving end of the fourth driving component 24. By setting the fifth driving component 25, it cooperates with the fourth driving component 24 to form a range-extending structure, further improving space utilization, shortening the length of the first connecting rod 31, and improving structural stability. At the same time, compared with setting the second connecting rod 34 on the mounting base 10, which requires increasing its size to meet the purpose of sharing the force of the first connecting rod 31, in this structure, since the second connecting rod 34 moves with the driving mechanism 20, it is also possible to reduce its size and improve space utilization while meeting the requirement of sharing the force of the first connecting rod 31.

[0049] Reference Figure 14 As shown, this invention discloses a cable routing device, including the cable flipping device described in any of the above embodiments; as well as a conveying streamline device 40 and a cable guiding device; the conveying streamline device 40 includes a streamline mechanism 41, which is used for transporting a carrier and is disposed below the mounting base 10; the cable guiding device is disposed on the mounting base 10. The streamline mechanism 41 is prior art, and different streamline mechanisms 41 can be selected according to different needs. Preferably, a conveyor belt is selected. The cable guiding device is prior art and is not shown in the drawings. Its purpose is to guide the cable on the second component to the assembly slot of the first component. Its specific working principle and structure will not be described in detail. Since the cable routing device of this invention includes the cable flipping device described in the above embodiments, it also possesses all the advantages of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated.

[0050] Reference Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, in some embodiments of the wiring device of the present invention, the conveying assembly 40 further includes a positioning and lifting mechanism 42. The positioning and lifting mechanism 42 includes a positioning and lifting base plate 421, a positioning and lifting assembly 422, and a positioning and lifting driver 423. Specifically, the positioning and lifting base plate 421 is used to support other components and is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 41. The positioning and lifting assembly 422 is used to connect the carrier. The positioning and lifting assembly 422 includes a positioning and lifting top plate 4221 and an adsorption component 4222. The adsorption component 4222 is disposed on the positioning and lifting top plate 4221 and is used to adsorb the carrier. The adsorption component 4222 effectively ensures the stability of the carrier and product during the lifting process, facilitating positioning. Preferably, the positioning and lifting top plate 4221 is also provided with positioning pins to achieve precise positioning. The positioning and lifting driver 423 serves as the driving component of the positioning and lifting assembly 422, used to achieve lifting. The positioning and lifting driver 423 includes a positioning and lifting driving component 4231 and a positioning and lifting guide assembly 4232. The positioning and lifting driving component 4231 is disposed on the positioning and lifting base plate 421, and the driving end of the positioning and lifting driving component 4231 is connected to the positioning and lifting top plate 4221. The positioning and lifting driving component 4231 is used to drive the positioning and lifting top plate 4221 to move relatively closer to or relatively away from the positioning and lifting base plate 421. Preferably, the positioning and lifting driving component 4231 is configured as a cylinder. The positioning and lifting guide assembly 4232 includes a positioning and lifting slide rail 42321 and a positioning and lifting slider 42322. The positioning and lifting slide rail 42321 is connected to the positioning and lifting base plate 421. The positioning and lifting slider 42322 is movably mounted on the positioning and lifting slide rail 42321 and is connected to the positioning and lifting top plate 4221. The positioning and lifting guide assembly 4232 provides guidance for lifting and increases the stability of the structure. The positioning and lifting base plate 421 has a first receiving hole 4211 adapted to the positioning and lifting slider 42322, and the positioning and lifting top plate 4221 has a second receiving hole 42211 adapted to the positioning and lifting slide rail 42321. When the positioning and lifting drive component 4231 moves the positioning and lifting top plate 4221 closer to the positioning and lifting base plate 421, the positioning and lifting slider 42322 is housed in the first receiving hole 4211, and the positioning and lifting slide rail 42321 is housed in the second receiving hole 42211. By setting the first receiving hole 4211 and the second receiving hole 42211, the size of the entire positioning and lifting mechanism 42 can be reduced, and the space utilization rate can be improved.

[0051] Reference Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments of the cable routing device of the present invention, an avoidance lifting device 50 is further included. The avoidance lifting device 50 is disposed below the mounting base 10, and the drive end of the avoidance lifting device 50 is connected to the mounting base 10. The avoidance lifting device 50 is used to move the mounting base 10 relatively away from or relatively close to the streamline mechanism 41. Considering the overall size of the device, and the interference problem between the carrier transported on the streamline mechanism 41 and the cable routing flipping device after the size is reduced, the avoidance lifting device 50 is set to achieve the lifting and avoidance of the entire cable routing flipping device, which can both take into account the size and improve the space utilization, and avoid interference between the carrier and the device.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] First, the avoidance lifting device 50 lifts the mounting base 10. After the carrier carrying the first component is transported by the streamline mechanism 41 to above the positioning lifting assembly 422, the avoidance lifting device 50 lowers the mounting base 10. The positioning lifting driver 423 lifts the positioning lifting assembly 422, bringing it into contact with the carrier and separating the carrier from the streamline mechanism 41. The adsorption component 4222 then adsorbs the carrier. The external mounting device assembles the second component from above the first component towards the first component, and the cable guide mechanism cooperates to prevent the cable of the second component from remaining outside the mounting slot of the first component. When the external mounting device lowers the second component to the rated position, the cable flipping device begins operation.

[0054] Secondly, the first driving component 21 drives other driving components and the flipping mechanism 30 to move closer to the ribbon cable of the first component. The driving ends of the second driving component 22, the third driving component 23, and the fourth driving component 24 move to achieve positioning between the flipping mechanism 30 and the ribbon cable. After positioning is completed, the vacuum suction head component 32 is attracted to the ribbon cable, and the driving end of the fifth driving component 25 moves, causing the vacuum suction head component 32 to approach the rotating guide part 344. The rotating guide part 344 provides a supporting force for the vacuum suction head component 32, causing the vacuum suction head component 32 to overcome the elastic force provided by the elastic reset component 33 and rotate, thereby causing the ribbon cable to flip and avoid it. After the first and second components are assembled, the driving end of the fifth driving component 25 moves in the opposite direction, and the elastic reset component 33 provides an elastic force to the vacuum suction head component 32 to reset the ribbon cable. The first driving component 21 moves in the opposite direction to avoid it.

[0055] Finally, the positioning and lifting driver 423 lowers the positioning and lifting assembly 422, causing the carrier to contact the streamline mechanism 41, and the adsorption component 4222 no longer adsorbs the carrier. At the same time, the avoidance lifting device 50 lifts the mounting base 10, so that the carrier that has completed the work is transported by the streamline mechanism 41 to the subsequent work station.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
