Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of display panel testing, and particularly relates to a slider module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to effectively ensure the quality of display panels, technicians will perform a series of performance tests on the display panels during the production process of the display panels. By providing an electrical signal to the test points of the display panel, the display panel is ultimately lit up.

[0003] At present, the connectors of some existing display panels are located on the back of the screen body and are arranged obliquely relative to the screen body. When the display panel is subjected to crimping test at the 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 and cooperating with the inclined surface to ensure subsequent crimping.

[0004] However, during the crimping process, since the screen body is located directly above the slider, the slider can usually only be operated in the narrow space below the screen body corresponding to the sliding direction of the slider, which is inconvenient and results in low test efficiency. Moreover, the slider is easily accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process, which causes the connector to fail to be clamped, and ultimately results in crimping failure. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present application provides a slider module, which aims to not only conveniently operate and drive the slider, thereby improving the test efficiency, but also avoid the problem of connector clamping failure caused by accidental pushing of the slider during the crimping and testing process.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a slider module, which comprises 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 in a first direction;

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

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

[0011] Optionally, the transmission assembly further comprises an unlocking button, the unlocking button is slidably arranged on the base to be lifted relative to the base, and the bottom of the unlocking button is abutted against the hook to drive the hooking part to rotate away from the boss to be unlocked.

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

[0013] Optionally, the base has a fixing block, a guide seat is mounted on the fixing block, the guide seat is spaced from the base, the guide seat is located above the sliding block, and the locking button is slidably matched with the guide seat.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission assembly further comprises 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 wedge block is slidably matched with the outer ring of the movable bearing along the first direction.

[0015] Optionally, a fourth elastic member is arranged between the other side of the wedge block and the fixing block.

[0016] Optionally, a plurality of spaced bushings are inserted on the sliding block, a plurality of spaced guide rods are inserted on the base, and each bushing is slidably sleeved on the corresponding guide rod.

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

[0018] Optionally, a hinged seat is mounted on each of the sliding block and the mounting base, and two parallel and spaced apart lugs are arranged on the hinged seat, and the other end of each connecting rod is inserted between the corresponding two lugs, and a pin shaft is inserted between each connecting rod and the corresponding two lugs.

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

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solutions conceived by the present application have the following beneficial effects in general:

[0021] For the sliding block module provided by the embodiment of the present application, the sliding block module is installed on the test station, at this time, the sliding block is arranged opposite to the inclined surface below the test station, and the locking button and the hook are located outside the screen body. 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, the locking button is pressed down, the locking button slides down, and the bottom of the locking button extrudes the inclined surface of the wedge block, so that the wedge block slides in the second direction.

Moreover, since the sliding directions of the locking button and the wedge block are different from the direction of the sliding block, and based on the transmission of the connecting rod, the driving of the sliding block in the first direction can be converted into the driving of the lateral locking button (that is, the locking button changes the driving position and driving direction relative to the direct driving of the sliding block through the transmission of the connecting rod, and only the locking button on the lateral side of the sliding block can drive the sliding block), which can realize convenient operation of the sliding block and improve the testing efficiency. At the same time, the hook is driven to rotate, so that the hook hooks and locks the boss, thereby completing the locking of the locking button and the wedge block, and finally completing the locking of the connecting rod and the sliding block, so that the clamping state of the sliding block to the connector can be continuously maintained, thereby avoiding the problem that the connector is clamped and fixed after the sliding block is accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0023] That is, the sliding block module provided by the embodiment of the present application not only can conveniently operate and drive the sliding block, improve the testing efficiency, but also can avoid the problem that the connector is clamped and fixed after the sliding block is accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0035] Embodiment:

[0036] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a slider module provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a first state schematic diagram of a slider module without a guide seat provided by an embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that 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 arranged on the base 1 along a first direction (X-axis direction).

[0039] Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a transmission assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3As shown, the transmission assembly 3 includes a wedge block 31, a locking button 32, a hook 33 and two connecting rods 34, the wedge block 31 is slidably arranged on the base 1 along the second direction (Y-axis direction), the locking button 32 has a boss 321 on one side, the locking button 32 is slidably arranged on the base 1 to lift (Z-axis direction) relative to the base 1, and the bottom of the locking button 32 abuts against the inclined surface on one side of the wedge block 31 to drive the wedge block 31 to slide, the hook 33 is rotatably arranged on the base 1 to hook the locking boss 321, one end of one connecting rod 34 is hinged to the mounting seat 11, one end of the other connecting rod 34 is hinged to the other side of the sliding block 2, and the other ends of the two connecting rods 34 are hinged and slidably matched with the other side of the wedge block 31 along the first direction, so that the sliding block 2 is driven to move towards the mounting seat 11 by the two connecting rods 34.

[0040] For the sliding block module provided by the embodiment of the application, the sliding block module is installed on the test station, at this time the sliding block 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 body. When it is needed 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, the locking button 32 is pressed down, the locking button 32 then slides down, the bottom of the locking button 32 then presses the inclined surface of the wedge block 31, so that the wedge block 31 slides along the second direction.

[0041] Then, the wedge block 31 drives the hinged part of the two connecting rods 34 to slide along the first direction in the process of sliding, the included angle of the two connecting rods 34 gradually increases, thereby driving the sliding block 2 to slide along the first direction, so that the sliding block 2 moves towards the connector (see Figure 4 ), thereby finally completing the clamping and fixing of the connector, facilitating subsequent crimping and testing. Moreover, since the sliding directions of the locking button 32 and the wedge block 31 are different from the direction of the sliding block 2, and based on the transmission of the connecting rod 34, the driving of the sliding block 2 along the first direction can be converted into the driving of the lateral locking button 32 (that is, the locking button 32 changes the driving position and driving direction relative to the direct driving of the sliding block 2 through the transmission of the connecting rod 34, and only the locking button 32 on the lateral side of the sliding block 2 needs to be operated to complete the driving of the sliding block 2), so that the convenient operation of the sliding block 2 can be realized, and the test efficiency is improved. At the same time, the hook 33 is driven to rotate, so that the hook 33 hooks and locks the boss 321, thereby completing the locking of the locking button 32 and the wedge block 31, and finally completing the locking of the connecting rod 34 and the sliding block 2, so that the clamping state of the sliding block 2 to the connector can be continuously maintained, thereby avoiding the problem that the connector is clamped and fixed to fail due to the sliding block 2 being accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0042] That is, the slider module provided by the embodiment of the application can not only conveniently drive the slider 2 and improve the test efficiency, but also can avoid the problem of clamping failure of the connector caused by the slider 2 being accidentally pushed during the crimping and testing process.

[0043] Exemplarily, the transmission assembly further comprises a movable bearing 35, the other ends of the two connecting rods are hingedly connected to the inner ring of the movable bearing, and the other side of the wedge block is in sliding fit with the outer ring of the movable bearing in the first direction, so that the friction between the wedge block 31 and the two connecting rods can be reduced.

[0044] Optionally, the slider 2 has an inclined surface 21 on one side in the sliding direction, so that the connector can be better clamped through the inclined surface.

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

[0046] It is easy to understand that when the display panel test is completed, the hook 33 is reversely rotated to release the locking of the hook 33 on the boss 321, at this time, under the action force of the first elastic member 12, the slider 2 retreats in the first direction, and the included angle of the two connecting rods 34 is reduced, the movable bearing 35, the wedge block 31 and the locking button 32 are all retreated, so as to avoid manually pushing the slider 2 to retreat and reset, thereby preparing for clamping and fixing the connector of the next display panel. And at this time, the slider 2 is no longer clamped and fixed on the connector, so the display panel can be freely taken and placed.

[0047] In addition, the slider module is driven by the structures such as the 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 70-80 mm), the structure is compact, the occupied space is small, the cost is low, the slider module is convenient to install on the test station (that is, the risk of interfering with other structures is reduced), and the test cost is reduced.

[0048] Exemplarily, the bottom of the locking button 32 is also provided with a bearing, which abuts against the inclined surface of the wedge block 31, so as to reduce the friction in the process of extruding the wedge block 31 to move.

[0049] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 The hook 33 comprises a hooking part 331 and a driving part 332 connected with each other, the boss 321 can drive the hooking part 331 to rotate, and the second elastic member 13 is arranged between the driving part 332 and the base 1 to lock the boss after the hooking part rotates.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the boss 321 can drive the hook 33 to automatically open during the downward movement, and after the continuous downward movement, the second elastic member 13 can make the hook 33 rotate to hook the boss 321, so as to realize the automatic locking of the hook 33 to the boss 321 after the driving slider 2 is moved to the position, that is, finally realize the locking of the slider 2, avoid the problem of manually operating the hook 33 to realize the 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 realized by a rotating shaft to realize the rotating installation of the hooking part 331 on the base 1.

[0052] Further, the transmission assembly 3 further comprises an unlocking button 36, which is slidably arranged on the base 1 to ascend and descend relative to the base 1, and the bottom of the unlocking button 36 abuts against the hook 33 to drive the hooking part 331 to rotate away from the boss 321 to be unlocked.

[0053] In the above embodiment, when the slider 2 is in the locked state, the unlocking button 36 is driven to rotate the hook 33 to release the hooking of the hook 33 to the boss 321 by driving the unlocking button 36 to move downward. After that, under the driving of the first elastic member 12, the slider 2 and the wedge block 31 retreat, and the locking button 32 moves upward, so that the boss 321 is higher than the hooking part 331, and finally the unlocking is realized, so as to release the clamping and fixing of the connector, and then the display panel can be freely taken and placed.

[0054] In addition, when the unlocking is completed and the downward pressure on the unlocking button 36 is removed, the hook 33 is automatically rotated under the elastic force of the second elastic member 13, and the hooking part 331 drives the unlocking button 36 to move upward, so that the unlocking button 36 moves upward to reset.

[0055] Exemplarily, the bottom of the unlocking button 36 and the top of the hooking part 331 have inclined surfaces in relative contact, so as to facilitate the automatic unlocking of the hook 33 by driving the hooking part 331 to rotate through the unlocking button 36.

[0056] That is, the slider module provided by the present application can automatically realize the locking of the slider 2 by pressing the locking button 32, and can automatically realize the unlocking of the slider 2 by pressing the unlocking button 36.

[0057] In addition, the third elastic member 14 is arranged 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 realize the double insurance effect in cooperation with the second elastic member 13, so as to ensure that the unlocking button 36 can reliably move upward to reset after the unlocking is completed, and the hook 33 can also rotate to reset.

[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 1and Figure 2 The base 1 is provided with a fixing block 15, and a guide seat 16 is mounted on the fixing block 15. The guide seat 16 is spaced from the base 1 and is located above the sliding block 2. The locking button 32 is in sliding fit with the guide seat 16.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the fixing block 15 functions to elevate the guide seat 16, avoiding interference between the sliding block 2 and the guide seat 16 during sliding, and the guide seat 16 can guide the lifting of the locking button 32.

[0060] For example, the number of the fixing blocks 15 can be two, and the fixing blocks 15 are spaced apart. The two ends of the guide seat 16 are fixed on the corresponding fixing blocks 15 respectively. The sliding block 2 is located between the two fixing blocks 15.

[0061] Further, the guide seat 16 is provided with a guide hole, and the locking button 32 is slidably inserted into the guide hole, so that the guide hole guides the locking button 32.

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

[0063] In addition, the other side of the wedge block 31 and the fixing block 15 are spaced apart and provided with a fourth elastic member 17. The fourth elastic member 17 can also drive the wedge block 31 to retreat and reset, and functions as a double insurance with the first elastic member 12, ensuring that the wedge block 31 retreats reliably after unlocking.

[0064] For example, 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, avoiding too fast sliding of the sliding block during locking or unlocking.

[0065] In the embodiment, the sliding block 2 is inserted with a plurality of spaced-apart bushings, and the base 1 is inserted with a plurality of spaced-apart guide rods 18. Each bushing is slidably sleeved on the corresponding guide rod 18, so that the cooperation of the bushings and the guide rods 18 ensures accurate sliding of the sliding block 2.

[0066] For example, the wedge block 31 also slides and is guided by the cooperation of the guide rods and the bushings.

[0067] In an implementation form of the present application, the base 1 is provided with a shell (not shown in the figure), which is detachably connected with the base 1 to form a protection space, and the wedge block 31 and the two connecting rods 34 are located in the protection space. The shell can realize cover protection of the wedge block 31 and the connecting rods 34, so as to avoid damage or movement obstruction of the wedge block 31 and the connecting rods 34 during use.

[0068] In addition, the sliding block 2 and the mounting seat 11 are both provided with a hinged seat 19, which is provided with two parallel and spaced apart 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 as to realize the hinging of the connecting rod 34 through the hinged seat 19, the ear plate and the pin shaft 191.
