[0022] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a carrier plate 1, a flipping module 2, and a positioning module 3. The positioning module 3 includes a sliding plate 31. One end of the carrier plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 4, and the sliding plate 31 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 4. The flipping module 2 includes a flipping base 21, a flipping plate 22, and a flipping buckle 23. The flipping base 21 is disposed on the upper surface of the sliding plate 31. The rotating end of the flipping plate 22 is hinged to one side of the upper end of the flipping base 21. The flipping buckle 23 engages with the flipping plate 22. The other end of the carrier plate 1 is provided with a product contouring groove 5, and the pressing end of the flipping plate 22 engages with the connecting end of the product 6 on the product contouring groove 5. Therefore, the BTB connector fastening device has a simple structure, small size, and does not require power or air connection. It is convenient to fasten the BTB and can bend the FPC to the required position. The product 6 is placed into the product contouring groove 5 to complete the initial positioning. The positioning module 3 drives the flipping module 2 to press the position. The flipping plate 22 presses the cable end of the product 6 to achieve the fixed pressing of the product 6. Then, the BTB connector on the product 6 is bent and fastened, and the flipping mechanism realizes the material release. The structure is simple, the positioning is accurate, and it can effectively prevent springback during the fastening process, resulting in higher efficiency.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning module 3 further includes a positioning module 32, which includes a positioning base 321 and a positioning pin 322. The positioning base 321 is disposed at the bottom of the sliding plate 31 away from the flipping module 2. The positioning pin 322 passes through the sliding plate 31 and slides in cooperation with the positioning base 321. The sliding groove 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 9, which cooperate with a plurality of positioning pins 322. Therefore, the sliding groove 4 is provided with a loading position and two positioning holes 9 for fastening. The positioning pins 322 drive the sliding plate 31 to slide and cooperate with the corresponding positioning holes 9, thereby realizing the loading / unloading or fastening operation of the product.

[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the flip plate 22 is provided with a male connector crimping groove 24 at its pressing end, and the male connector crimping groove 24 cooperates with the male connector end of the product 6. Therefore, when the flip plate 22 presses the ribbon cable end of the product 6, the male connector crimping groove 24 can first bend the male end of the BTB connector onto the male connector crimping groove 24, completing the bending and positioning of the male end.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a partition module 7 is provided on one side of the pressing end of the flip plate 22. The partition module 7 includes a fixing plate 71 and a partition 72. The fixing plate 71 is connected to the pressing end of the flip plate 22, and the fixing plate 71 is provided with a limiting groove 73. The partition 72 slides with the limiting groove 73 through a partition handle 74. The end of the partition 72 cooperates with the male connector end of the product 6 on the male connector pressing groove 73. Therefore, after the BTB connector male connector is deflected and positioned, before the BTB connector female connector is fastened, the partition 72 is used to press the BTB connector male connector to prevent the BTB connector male connector from rebounding during the fastening process, which could lead to low fastening accuracy of the BTB connector female connector or detachment during the fastening process.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a bending block 75 is also provided on one side of the end of the partition 72, and the bending block 75 cooperates with the female connector end of the product 6. Therefore, since the female connector of the BTB connector is relatively long, it is necessary to align it with the male connector of the BTB connector during mating. The bending block 75 provides guidance and prevents the female connector of the BTB connector from bending excessively, thus improving the fastening efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a floating spring 76 is provided between the partition 72 and the fixed plate 71 at the end away from the product 6. The partition 72 floats and engages with the fixed plate 71 through the floating spring 76. Therefore, the floating spring 76 provides power to stably press the partition 72 against the male BTB connector, preventing displacement or detachment during the fastening process.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a torsion spring 25 is provided between the flip plate 22 and the flip base 21. The torsion spring 25 drives the flip plate 22 to cooperate with the product 6. The flip buckle 23 is hinged to the other side of the upper surface of the flip base 21. A buckle spring 26 is provided between the flip buckle 23 and the flip base 21. Therefore, the torsion spring 25 provides downward pressure, enabling the flip plate 22 to stably press against the cable end of the product 6. The buckle spring 26 automatically resets after the flip plate 22 is unlocked once, allowing the flip plate 22 to be operated with one hand during loading and unloading.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the product contour groove 5 is provided with a plurality of limiting pins 8, which cooperate with a plurality of positioning points on the product 6. Therefore, the plurality of limiting pins 8 on the product contour groove 5 are adapted to the product 6, enabling preliminary positioning before engagement and preventing displacement during the pressing process.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a flip handle 27 is provided on one side of the flip plate 22. It can be seen that the flip handle 27 can drive the flip plate 22 to achieve a flipping action.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a return spring 323 is provided between the positioning pin 322 and the positioning base 321. The return spring 323 drives the positioning pin 322 to engage with a plurality of positioning holes 9. Therefore, after the flipping module 2 is in position, the return spring 323 drives the positioning pin 322 to engage with the corresponding positioning hole 9, thereby switching the working state.

[0032] The working principle of this invention: Before the equipment is started, the flip plate 22 and the flip buckle 23 are in the latched state, and the sliding plate 31 is in the loading / unloading position. The product 6 to be inspected is placed into the product contouring groove 5 to complete the initial positioning. The positioning pin 322 is lifted and the sliding plate 31 is slid. After the flip module 2 is in place, the reset spring 323 drives the positioning pin 322 to cooperate with the positioning hole 9 of the pressing position to achieve positioning. The flip buckle 23 is pressed to unlock, and the torsion spring 25 drives the flip plate 22 to rotate and press down. The pressing end of the flip plate 22 presses against the cable end of the product 6 to achieve secondary positioning. The partition handle 74 drives the partition 72 to slide away from the product 6, thus placing the product... The male end of the B2B connector on product 6 is bent and pressed against the male end pressing groove 24. The partition handle 74 is released, and the partition 72 automatically resets and presses against the male end of the B2B connector on product 6. Then, the female end of the B2B connector on product 6 is bent and engaged with the male end of the B2B connector. The positioning pin 322 is lifted and the sliding plate 31 is driven to reset. The flip plate 22 and the partition 72 are separated from product 6 to complete the unloading and reset to the upper and lower material positions. The flip plate 22 is reset and engaged with the flip buckle 23. The connected product 6 is replaced. The above steps are repeated to achieve high-precision engagement of the male and female ends of the BTB connector.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present application are described in the practical schemes, they do not constitute the limitation to the meaning of the present application, and the modification to the embodiments thereof and the combination with other schemes according to the present specification are obvious to the person skilled in the art.
