DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and are therefore only used as examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention belongs.
[0035] like Figure 5-15As shown, the positioning tool for assembling the movable contact mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 5, and a contact support positioning portion 1, a contact positioning block 2 and a lock positioning block 6 arranged on the base 5, wherein the lock positioning block 6 and the contact positioning block 2 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the contact support positioning portion 1; the contact support positioning portion 1 can be fixedly connected to the base 5 by assembly, or the contact support positioning portion 1 and the base 5 are integrally formed; the upper end of the contact support positioning portion 1 is provided with a contact support positioning structure for positioning the contact support 40 so that the contact support 40 is arranged in the left and right direction with the notch 90 facing upwards, and the upper end of the contact positioning block 2 A contact positioning structure is provided for positioning the moving contact 70 so that the moving contact 70 is arranged in the left-right direction and the upper axial connection end 704 thereof protrudes to the left, and a lock positioning structure is provided at the upper end of the lock positioning block 6 for positioning the lock 50 so that the protruding block 570 of the lock 50 protrudes to the right; a support platform 7 is provided at the right end of the contact bracket positioning part 1 for supporting the upper end of the torsion spring 60; the contact positioning block 2 can move in the left-right direction to approach and move away from the contact bracket positioning part 1; the lock positioning block 6 can move in the left-right direction and the front-back direction, and the lock positioning block 6 moves in the left-right direction to approach and move away from the contact bracket positioning part 1.
[0036] By arranging a base 5 for installing the positioning tool, and a contact support positioning portion 1, a contact positioning block 2 and a lock positioning block 6 distributed on the base 5 on the positioning tool for assembling the moving contact mechanism, wherein the contact support positioning portion 1 is provided with a contact support positioning structure for positioning the contact support 40, the contact positioning block 2 is provided with a contact positioning structure for setting the moving contact 70, and the lock positioning block 6 is provided with a lock positioning structure for setting the lock 50, and a contact support positioning portion 1 is provided on the right side end of the contact support positioning portion 1 for positioning the upper end of the torsion spring 60. The supporting support platform 7 is supported, and the contact positioning block 2 can be close to or away from the contact bracket positioning part 1 in the left and right directions, and the lock positioning block 6 can be close to and away from the contact bracket positioning part 1 in the left and right directions and move in the front and rear directions, thereby making it possible for the moving contact mechanism to be positioned and subsequently assembled by the positioning tool during the assembly stage of the moving contact mechanism; the assembly of the moving contact mechanism by the positioning tool can greatly improve its production efficiency and convenience of installation compared with the completely manual assembly method in the prior art.
[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a spring 3 is installed between the base 5 and the contact positioning block 2, and the spring 3 keeps the contact positioning block 2 moving to the left. When the contact positioning block 2 is at the right end (i.e., away from the end of the contact bracket positioning portion 1), the moving contact 70 is installed. At this time, the spring 3 is in compression. After the external force applied to the contact positioning block 2 is released, the contact positioning block 2 can automatically move to the left and approach the contact bracket positioning portion 1 under the elastic force of the spring 3, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.
[0038] In order to realize the limited installation of the contact positioning block 2, an installation slide 9 extending along the left-right direction can be set on the right side of the contact bracket positioning part 1 on the base 5, and the contact positioning block 2 is slidably installed in the installation slide 9. The installation slide 9 can play a role of moving guidance and installation limitation for the contact positioning block 2; in order to prevent the contact positioning block 2 from detaching from the installation slide 9, a limit slide groove set along the left-right direction can be set on the side wall of the installation slide 9, and a limit slider 24 that cooperates with the limit slide groove is set on the side of the contact positioning block 2. Through the cooperation between the limit slider 24 and the limit slide groove, the contact positioning block 2 can be limited to move in the up and down directions without affecting the left and right movement of the contact positioning block 2, thereby improving the stability and rationality of the structure.
[0039] Furthermore, the spring 3 installed between the base 5 and the contact positioning block 2 can be set in the installation slide 9. By hiding the spring 3 in the installation slide 9, the problem of the spring 3 being exposed to the outside and easily falling off can be avoided; specifically, the left end of the spring 3 is against the right end of the contact positioning block 2, and the right end of the spring 3 is connected to the right end wall of the installation slide 9. The right end wall of the installation slide 9 and the left end of the contact positioning block 2 can be provided with a spring positioning groove for the end of the spring 3 to extend into, so as to install and position the spring 3.
[0040] like Figure 5As shown, the contact positioning structure includes an upwardly protruding positioning protrusion 21 and a downwardly recessed avoidance groove 23 provided on the upper end of the contact positioning block 2. The positioning protrusion 21 is suitable for engaging with the connecting hole 702 on the moving contact 70, and the avoidance groove 23 is suitable for making way for the contact end 703 of the moving contact 70. By providing the positioning protrusion 21 and the avoidance groove 23 on the contact positioning structure, the reliability of the positioning of the moving contact 70 on the contact positioning block 2 can be ensured. When positioning the moving contact 70, the moving contact 70 is placed on the contact positioning block 2, so that the moving contact 70 can be positioned. The positioning protrusion 21 is inserted into the connecting hole 702, so that the contact end 703 on the moving contact 70 extends into the avoidance groove 23, thereby accurately positioning the moving contact 70; in addition, in order to further enhance the stability of positioning, by designing the positioning protrusion 21 and the avoidance groove 23 on the contact positioning block 2, an upwardly protruding extension block 22 can be provided on the contact positioning block 2 near the avoidance groove 23. The two extension blocks 22 form a blocking limit for the moving contact 70 from the front and rear sides of the moving contact 70 to prevent the moving contact 70 from moving, thereby ensuring the reliability of the positioning of the moving contact 70 and facilitating smooth assembly.
[0041] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the contact support positioning structure includes a positioning slot 11 provided at the upper end of the contact support positioning portion 1, the positioning slot 11 is suitable for the contact support 40 to be embedded, and the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 11 is suitable for forming an upward support for the contact support 40, so that when the contact support 40 is placed on the contact support positioning portion 1, the contact support 40 is positioned by the positioning slot 11, and the contact support 40 is stably supported by the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 11. Further, in order to prevent the moving contact 70 from colliding with the contact support 40 when the contact positioning block 2 moves to the left and approaches the contact support positioning portion 1 during assembly, the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 11 is further made into an inclined surface with a lower left and a higher right, so that the contact support 40 positioned by the contact support positioning structure is inclined with a lower left and a higher right, so as to form a larger gap at the lower right of the contact support 40 to avoid the moving contact 70, thereby ensuring a smooth assembly process. In order to further ensure the reliability of positioning the contact bracket 40, a magnet 8 is fixed in the positioning slot 11, and the magnet 8 can generate suction on the contact bracket 40, thereby enhancing the reliability of positioning the contact bracket 40 by the contact bracket positioning structure. Preferably, an embedding groove is provided on the bottom surface of the positioning slot 11, and the magnet 8 is embedded in the embedding groove and fixed, and the upper surface of the magnet 8 is further arranged to be flush with the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 11, so that the contact bracket 40 is embedded in the positioning slot 11, and the bottom surface of the contact bracket 40 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 11 and the upper surface of the magnet 8, so as to ensure that the magnet 8 generates effective suction on the contact bracket 40, thereby ensuring the reliability of positioning the contact bracket 40.
[0042] like Figure 5, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the lock buckle positioning structure includes a positioning shaft groove 63, a receiving groove 61, a support surface 64 and an abutment block 62. When the lock buckle 50 is positioned on the lock buckle positioning structure, the positioning shaft groove 63 is suitable for forming a positioning match with the convex shaft 501 on the lock buckle 50, the support surface 64 is suitable for forming an upward support for the limit block 502 on the lock buckle 50, the receiving groove 61 is suitable for accommodating the extension end 560 on the lock buckle 50, and the abutment block 62 is suitable for abutting against the limit block 502 on the lock buckle 50 from the left side. The lock 50 can be reliably placed and positioned on the lock positioning block 6, ensuring a smooth assembly process of the lock 50; during the design stage of the lock positioning structure on the lock positioning block 6, the support surface 64 and the abutment block 62 can be set on the insert, and the insert is embedded and fixed on the lock positioning block 6. Compared with directly molding the corresponding part of the lock positioning structure on the lock positioning block 6, the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced to a certain extent, making the lock positioning structure on the lock positioning block 6 easier to manufacture.
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting groove 53 is provided on the base 5 on the left side of the contact bracket positioning part 1, and a mounting slide block 4 that can slide forward and backward is installed in the mounting groove 53, and the lock positioning block 6 can be slid left and right and installed on the upper part of the mounting slide block 4. When the mounting slide block 4 moves forward and backward, it drives the lock positioning block 6 to move forward and backward, so as to realize the design of the lock positioning block 6 moving relative to the base 5 in the front and rear directions and left and right directions. When the positioning tooling is used for assembly, in order to facilitate the installation of the torsion spring 60, during the installation stage of the torsion spring 60, the lock positioning block 6 is driven to move backward by the mounting slide block 4, so that the lock 50 on the lock positioning block 6 is also moved backward to a certain extent, so that the protruding block 570 and the moving contact bracket 40 are in contact with each other. The spacing between the first side wall 450 is increased to form a gap 100 that is convenient for the torsion spring 60 to be installed. The torsion spring 60 is installed in the gap 100. In this state, in order to prevent the protruding block 570 from causing interference to the moving contact 70 when the moving contact 70 is installed, the installation slider 4 is controlled to drive the lock positioning block 6 to move forward, so that the spacing of the installation part of the torsion spring 60 (that is, the spacing between the protruding block 570 and the first side wall 450) is reduced, so that the torsion spring 60 can be smoothly sleeved on the side of the protruding block 570 of the lock 50, and secondly, because the protruding block 570 and the second side wall 460 of the contact bracket 40 leave space for the corresponding part of the moving contact 70 to be smoothly inserted, it helps to optimize the assembly process. Through reasonable structural settings, the position adjustment of the corresponding components during assembly is more flexible, effectively avoiding interference and jamming problems during assembly and rotation, and improving production efficiency.
[0044] Exemplarily, the mounting slider 4 is slidably limited and installed on the base 5 by cooperating between the first dovetail groove and the first dovetail boss between the mounting slider 4 and the second dovetail boss between the locking positioning block 6 and the mounting slider 4.
[0045] like Figure 5-7 As shown in 10-12, a spring 20 is provided between the base 5 and the lock positioning block 6, and the spring 20 keeps the lock positioning block 6 moving to the right. A spring 30 is provided between the mounting slider 4 and the base 5, and the spring 30 keeps the mounting slider 4 moving forward. A stopper 10 for stopping and limiting the mounting slider 4 is fixed on the base 5, wherein the purpose of the spring 20 and the spring 30 is similar to that of the spring 1 3, and is also used to ensure the convenience of driving, and the drive by external force. In the use mode of moving the installation slider 4 and the lock positioning block 6, when the external force is removed, the installation slider 4 and the lock positioning block 6 can be moved and reset in time under the elastic force of the spring three 30 and the spring two 20 respectively; a stopper 10 for stopping and limiting the installation slider 4 is fixed on the base 5. Under normal circumstances, the installation slider 4 is stopped on the stopper 10 under the elastic force of the spring two 20, thereby limiting the moving stroke of the installation slider 4 to prevent the installation slider 4 from detaching from the base 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning tooling structure.
[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, an opening 51 is provided on the base 5 below the lock positioning block 6, and the opening 51 is used for an external driving member to extend therein to drive the lock positioning block 6 to move. An opening 52 is provided on the base 5 below the contact positioning block 2, and the opening 52 is used for an external driving member to extend therein to drive the contact positioning block 2 to move. This structural design can better adapt to the use of the positioning tool on automated assembly equipment. The external driving member 1 extends into the opening 51 and can push the lock positioning block 6 to move as required through the movement of the external driving member 1. The external driving member 2 extends into the opening 52 and can push the contact positioning block 2 to move as required through the movement of the external driving member 2.
[0047] In the present invention, the method for assembling the moving contact mechanism using the positioning tool comprises the following steps:
