Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of display panel testing, and in particular relates to a slider module. Background Art

[0002] In order to effectively ensure the quality of the display panel, technicians will perform a series of performance tests on the display panel during its production process, and finally light up the display panel by providing electrical signals to the test points of the display panel.

[0003] At present, the connectors of some existing display panels are located on the back of the screen body and arranged at an angle relative to the screen body. When the display panel is subjected to a crimping test at a test station, the screen body of the display panel is placed on the test station, and the connector is placed on the inclined surface below the test station. The connector is clamped and fixed by sliding the slider to cooperate with the inclined surface to ensure subsequent crimping.

[0004] However, during the crimping process, since the screen is located directly above the slider, the slider can usually only be operated in the narrow space corresponding to the bottom of the screen and along the sliding direction of the slider, which is inconvenient to operate and leads to low test efficiency. In addition, the slider is very easy to be accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process, causing the connector clamping to fail, and ultimately leading to crimping failure. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a slider module, which aims to not only facilitate the operation of the driving slider and improve the testing efficiency, but also avoid the problem of connector clamping failure caused by the slider being accidentally pushed during crimping and testing.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a slider module, which includes a base, a slider and a transmission assembly;

[0007] The base is provided with a mounting seat;

[0008] The slider is slidably arranged on the base along a first direction;

[0009] The transmission assembly includes an inclined wedge block, a locking button, a hook and two connecting rods, and the inclined wedge block is slidably arranged on the base along the second direction; one side of the locking button has a boss, and the locking button is slidably arranged on the base to be lifted and lowered relative to the base, and the bottom of the locking button is against the inclined surface of one side of the inclined wedge block to drive the inclined wedge block to slide; the hook is rotatably arranged on the base to lock the boss after hooking; one end of one of the connecting rods is hinged to the mounting seat, and one end of the other connecting rod is hinged to the other side of the slider, and the other ends of the two connecting rods are hinged and slidably cooperate with the other side of the inclined wedge block along the first direction to drive the slider to move in the direction away from the mounting seat through the two connecting rods.

[0010] Optionally, the hook includes a hooking portion and a driving portion connected to each other, the boss can drive the hooking portion to rotate, and a second elastic member is provided between the driving portion and the base to hook and lock the boss after the hooking portion rotates.

[0011] Optionally, the transmission assembly further includes an unlocking button, which is slidably arranged on the base to be lifted and lowered relative to the base, and the bottom of the unlocking button abuts against the hook to drive the hooking portion to rotate away from the boss to unlock.

[0012] Optionally, a third elastic member is provided between the unlocking button and the base to drive the unlocking button to move upward.

[0013] Optionally, the base has a fixed block, a guide seat is installed on the fixed block, the guide seat is spaced apart from the base, the guide seat is located above the slider, and the locking button is slidably matched with the guide seat.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission assembly further includes a movable bearing, the other ends of the two connecting rods are hinged to the inner ring of the movable bearing, and the other side of the inclined wedge block is slidably matched with the outer ring of the movable bearing along the first direction.

[0015] Optionally, a fourth elastic member is disposed between the other side of the inclined wedge block and the fixed block.

[0016] Optionally, a plurality of bushings arranged at intervals are inserted on the sliding block, a plurality of guide rods arranged at intervals are inserted on the base, and each bushing can be slidably mounted on the corresponding guide rod.

[0017] Optionally, a first elastic member is provided between the slider and the base to reset the sliding slider.

[0018] Optionally, an articulated seat is installed on the slider and the mounting seat, and the articulated seat has two ear plates arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the other end of each connecting rod is inserted between the corresponding two ear plates, and a pin shaft is inserted between each connecting rod and the corresponding two ear plates.

[0019] The above-mentioned improved technical features can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0020] In general, compared with the prior art, the above technical solution conceived by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] For a slider module provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the slider module is installed on a test station, and the slider is arranged opposite to the inclined surface below the test station, and the locking button and the hook are located outside the screen. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the connector on the test station (at this time, the connector of the display panel is arranged obliquely on the inclined surface below the test station), first, press down the locking button, the locking button will slide down, and the bottom of the locking button will press the inclined surface of the inclined wedge block, so that the inclined wedge block slides along the second direction.

[0022] Then, during the sliding process of the inclined wedge block, the hinge of the two connecting rods will be driven to slide along the first direction, and the angle between the two connecting rods will gradually increase, thereby driving the slider to slide along the first direction, so that the slider moves toward the direction of the connector (see figure), thereby finally completing the clamping and fixing of the connector, which is convenient for subsequent crimping and testing. In addition, since the sliding directions of the locking button and the inclined wedge block are different from the direction of the slider, and based on the transmission of the connecting rod, the drive of the slider along the first direction can be converted into the lateral drive of the locking button (that is, the locking button changes the driving position and driving direction relative to the direct drive of the slider through the transmission of the connecting rod, and the drive of the slider can be completed by operating the locking button on the side of the slider), which can realize convenient operation of the slider and improve the test efficiency. At the same time, the driving hook is rotated so that the hook hook locks the boss, and the locking of the locking button and the inclined wedge block can be completed, thereby finally completing the locking of the connecting rod and the slider, so that the slider can be continuously clamped to the connector, avoiding the problem of the connector failing to clamp after the slider is accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0023] That is to say, a slider module provided by an embodiment of the present invention can not only conveniently operate the driving slider and improve the test efficiency, but also avoid the problem of connector clamping failure caused by the slider being accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0035] Example:

[0036] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a slider module provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of a first state of a slider module without a guide seat provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slider module includes a base 1, a slider 2 and a transmission assembly 3.

[0037] The base 1 has a mounting seat 11 .

[0038] The slider 2 is slidably disposed on the base 1 along a first direction (X-axis direction).

[0039] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transmission assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the transmission assembly 3 includes an inclined wedge block 31, a locking button 32, a hook 33 and two connecting rods 34. The inclined wedge block 31 is slidably arranged on the base 1 along the second direction (Y-axis direction). One side of the locking button 32 has a boss 321. The locking button 32 is slidably arranged on the base 1 to rise and fall relative to the base 1 (Z-axis direction), and the bottom of the locking button 32 is abutted against the inclined surface of one side of the inclined wedge block 31 to drive the inclined wedge block 31 to slide. The hook 33 is rotatably arranged on the base 1 to hook the rear locking boss 321. One end of a connecting rod 34 is hinged to the mounting seat 11, and one end of the other connecting rod 34 is hinged to the other side of the slider 2. The other ends of the two connecting rods 34 are hinged and slidably cooperate with the other side of the inclined wedge block 31 along the first direction to drive the slider 2 to move in the direction away from the mounting seat 11 through the two connecting rods 34.

[0040] For a slider module provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the slider module is installed on a test station, and the slider 2 is arranged opposite to the inclined surface below the test station, and the locking button 32 and the hook 33 are located outside the screen. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the connector on the test station (at this time, the connector of the display panel is arranged obliquely on the inclined surface below the test station), first, press down the locking button 32, the locking button 32 will slide down, and the bottom of the locking button 32 will press the inclined surface of the inclined wedge block 31, so that the inclined wedge block 31 slides along the second direction.

[0041] Then, the sliding process of the inclined wedge block 31 will drive the hinge of the two connecting rods 34 to slide along the first direction, and the angle between the two connecting rods 34 will gradually increase, thereby driving the slider 2 to slide along the first direction, so that the slider 2 moves toward the connector (see Figure 4 ), thereby finally completing the clamping and fixing of the connector, which is convenient for subsequent crimping and testing. In addition, since the sliding directions of the locking button 32 and the inclined wedge block 31 are different from the direction of the slider 2, and based on the transmission of the connecting rod 34, the drive of the slider 2 along the first direction can be converted into the lateral drive of the locking button 32 (that is, the locking button 32 changes the driving position and driving direction relative to the direct drive of the slider 2 through the transmission of the connecting rod 34, and the drive of the slider 2 can be completed by operating the locking button 32 on the side of the slider 2), which can realize convenient operation of the slider 2 and improve the test efficiency. At the same time, the hook 33 is driven to rotate so that the hook 33 hooks and locks the boss 321, and the locking button 32 and the inclined wedge block 31 can be completed, thereby finally completing the locking of the connecting rod 34 and the slider 2, so that the slider 2 can be continuously clamped to the connector, avoiding the problem of the connector clamping failure caused by the slider 2 being accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0042] That is to say, a slider module provided by an embodiment of the present invention can not only conveniently operate the driving slider 2 and improve the test efficiency, but also avoid the problem of connector clamping failure caused by the slider 2 being accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0043] Exemplarily, the transmission assembly also includes a movable bearing 35, the other ends of the two connecting rods are hinged on the inner ring of the movable bearing, and the other side of the inclined wedge block slides with the outer ring of the movable bearing along the first direction, which can reduce the friction between the inclined wedge block 31 and the two connecting rods.

[0044] Optionally, the slider 2 has a slope 21 on one side along the sliding direction, so that the connector can be better clamped by the slope.

[0045] Optionally, a first elastic member is provided between the slider and the base to reset the sliding slider.

[0046] It is easy to understand that after the display panel test is completed, the hook 33 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the hook 33 from locking the boss 321. At this time, under the action of the first elastic member 12, the slider 2 retreats along the first direction, and the angle between the two connecting rods 34 decreases. The movable bearing 35, the inclined wedge block 31 and the locking button 32 all retreat to avoid manual pushing of the slider 2 to retreat and reset, thereby preparing for the clamping and fixing of the connector of the next display panel. In addition, at this time, since the slider 2 has released the clamping and fixing of the connector, the display panel can be freely taken in and out.

[0047] In addition, the slider module is driven by structures such as the inclined wedge block 31, the locking button 32 and the two connecting rods 34. The overall size of the slider module is small (the length and width reach 70-80mm) and the structure is compact, so it occupies a small space and has low cost. It is easy to install on the test station (i.e., it reduces the risk of interfering with other structures), thereby reducing the test cost.

[0048] Exemplarily, a bearing is also provided at the bottom of the locking button 32 , and the bearing abuts against the inclined surface of the angled wedge block 31 , thereby reducing friction during the process of squeezing the angled wedge block 31 to move.

[0049] Continue to see Figure 3 The hook 33 includes a hooking portion 331 and a driving portion 332 connected to each other. The boss 321 can drive the hooking portion 331 to rotate. A second elastic member 13 is provided between the driving portion 332 and the base 1 to hook the locking boss after the hooking portion rotates.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the boss 321 can drive the hook 33 to open automatically during the downward movement, and after continuing to move downward, the second elastic member 13 can make the hook 33 rotate and hook the boss 321, so that after driving the slider 2 to move into place, the hook 33 can automatically lock the boss 321, that is, finally lock the slider 2, avoid the problem of manual operation of the hook 33 to achieve locking, and improve the test efficiency.

[0051] Exemplarily, the driving part 332 is located below the hooking part 331. The connection between the hooking part 331 and the driving part 332 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 via a rotating shaft.

[0052] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 3 also includes an unlocking button 36, which is slidably arranged on the base 1 to rise and fall relative to the base 1. The bottom of the unlocking button 36 abuts against the hook 33 to drive the hooking part 331 to rotate back to the boss 321 and then unlock.

[0053] In the above embodiment, when the slider 2 is in the locked state, the unlock button 36 is driven to move downward, and the unlock button 36 drives the hook 33 to rotate, so that the hook 33 releases the hooking of the boss 321. Thereafter, driven by the first elastic member 12, the slider 2 and the inclined wedge block 31 will retreat, and the lock button 32 will move upward, so that the boss 321 is higher than the hooking portion 331, and finally the unlocking is realized, thereby releasing the clamping fixation of the connector, and finally the display panel can be freely taken in and out.

[0054] In addition, after unlocking is completed, when the downward pressure on the unlock button 36 is removed, the hook 33 will automatically rotate under the elastic force of the second elastic member 13, and the hook portion 331 will drive the unlock button 36 to move upward, so that the unlock button 36 moves upward and resets.

[0055] Exemplarily, the bottom of the unlocking button 36 and the top of the hooking portion 331 have inclined surfaces in relative contact, so that the hook 33 can be automatically unlocked after the unlocking button 36 drives the hooking portion 331 to rotate.

[0056] That is, the slider module provided by the present invention can automatically lock the slider 2 by pressing the lock button 32 , and can automatically unlock the slider 2 by pressing the unlock button 36 .

[0057] In addition, a third elastic member 14 is provided between the unlocking button 36 and the base 1 to drive the unlocking button 36 to move upward. The third elastic member 14 can also drive the unlocking button 36 to move upward, and can cooperate with the second elastic member 13 to achieve a double insurance effect, ensuring that the unlocking button 36 can reliably move upward and reset after unlocking is completed, and the hook 33 can also rotate and reset.

[0058] Continue to see Figure 1and Figure 2 The base 1 has a fixed block 15 , on which a guide seat 16 is mounted. The guide seat 16 is spaced apart from the base 1 , and the guide seat 16 is located above the slider 2 . The locking button 32 is slidably matched with the guide seat 16 .

[0059] In the above embodiment, the fixing block 15 serves to lift the guide seat 16 to prevent the slider 2 from interfering with the guide seat 16 during the sliding process, while the guide seat 16 can guide the lifting and lowering of the locking button 32 .

[0060] For example, the number of the fixing blocks 15 may be two and they are arranged at intervals, and both ends of the guide seat 16 are respectively fixed on the corresponding fixing blocks 15 . The sliding block 2 is located between the two fixing blocks 15 .

[0061] Furthermore, the guide seat 16 has a guide hole, and the locking button 32 can be slidably inserted in the guide hole, so that the locking button 32 is guided by the guide hole.

[0062] Similarly, the unlocking button 36 is guided by another guide hole on the guide seat 16. The tops of the locking button 32 and the unlocking button 36 extend out of the guide seat 16 for easy pressing.

[0063] In addition, a fourth elastic member 17 is provided between the other side of the inclined wedge block 31 and the fixed block 15. The fourth elastic member 17 can also drive the inclined wedge block 31 to retreat and reset, and it and the first elastic member 12 play a double insurance role to ensure that the inclined wedge block 31 can retreat reliably after unlocking is completed.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first elastic member 12, the second elastic member 13, the third elastic member 14 and the fourth elastic member 17 can all be springs. In addition, the first elastic member 12, the second elastic member 13, the third elastic member 14 and the fourth elastic member 17 also have a buffering effect to prevent the slider from sliding too fast during locking or unlocking.

[0065] In this embodiment, a plurality of spaced-apart bushings are installed on the slider 2, and a plurality of spaced-apart guide rods 18 are installed on the base 1. Each bushing can be slidably mounted on a corresponding guide rod 18, thereby ensuring precise sliding of the slider 2 through the cooperation between the bushing and the guide rod 18.

[0066] Exemplarily, the oblique wedge block 31 also achieves sliding guidance through the cooperation of the guide rod and the bushing.

[0067] In one implementation of the present invention, the base 1 is provided with a shell (not shown), which is detachably connected to the base 1 to form a protection space, in which the oblique wedge 31 and the two connecting rods 34 are located. The shell can cover and protect the oblique wedge 31 and the connecting rod 34 to prevent the oblique wedge 31 and the connecting rod 34 from being damaged or blocked from moving during use.

[0068] In addition, an articulated seat 19 is installed on the slider 2 and the mounting seat 11, and the articulated seat 19 has two parallel and spaced ear plates. The other end of each connecting rod 34 is inserted between the corresponding two ear plates, and a pin shaft 191 is inserted between each connecting rod 34 and the corresponding two ear plates, so that the connecting rod 34 is articulated through the articulated seat 19, the ear plate and the pin shaft 191.

[0069] It should be noted that the line connecting the two pin shafts 191 extends along the first direction.

[0070] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
