Then, the slider is driven to slide so that the supporting inclined surface moves above the connector and supports the connector. At this time, the supporting inclined surface moves into the through hole and accurately supports and positions the connector in the through hole, thereby avoiding the problem that the connector abuts against the back of the screen body and causes damage to the screen body when the connector is subsequently crimped upward. Next, the conductive module is pressed so that the conductive connector moves upward (moves obliquely upward relative to the surface of the carrier board, i.e., in the M direction) to conduct the connector of the display panel, and the locking block is moved so that the locking block supports and locks the conductive module. Wherein, the conductive module moves into place, that is, the conductive module moves above the locking block. At this time, the locking block supports the bottom of the conductive module (to prevent the conductive module from moving downward under the action of gravity), locks the conductive module, and ensures that the conductive connector and the connector of the display panel are always in a crimped state. After the crimping test is complete, the locking block retreats to unlock the conductive module, driving the conductive module downward, ultimately releasing the conductive connector from the display panel connector. Furthermore, the slider retreats to release its support for the connector, allowing the display panel to be removed and ready for crimping the next one.

[0024] That is to say, the crimping module provided by the embodiment of the present invention can not only reliably realize crimping and conducting of tilted connectors, but also effectively avoid the problem of the connector abutting against the back of the screen and causing damage to the screen when the connector is crimped upward.

[0047] Example:

[0048] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a crimping module provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the crimping module includes a positioning component 2 and a crimping component 3.

[0049] The positioning assembly 2 includes a base 21 and a slider 22 . The base 21 is used to be set in the carrier 1 . The base 21 has a guide hole 211 . Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the slider provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the slider 22 is slidably arranged on the base 21 . The slider 22 has a support slope 221 . The axial direction of the guide hole 211 is perpendicular to the support slope 221 . The support slope 221 is used to support the connector 200 above the connector 200 .

[0050] The base 21 includes a first base 201 and a second base 202. The first base 201 is inserted into the bottom of the carrier 1, and the second base 202 is fixed to the first base 201. The slider 22 is located on the first base 201, and the crimping assembly 3 is located on the second base 202.

[0051] For example, the second base body 202 has two spaced-apart mounting blocks 204 , and each mounting block 204 has a mounting hole, so that the second base body 202 can be fixed to the first base body 201 by inserting bolts into the mounting holes.

[0052] Figure 4 This is a first assembly view of the crimping assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a second assembly view of the crimping assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view taken along the AA line on the second seat provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the crimping assembly 3 includes a conduction module 31 and a locking block 32. The conduction module 31 is provided with a conduction connector 33 of the crimping connector 200. The conduction module 31 can be slidably inserted in the guide hole 211. The locking block 32 can be slidably inserted in the base 21, and the locking block 32 is used to be inserted into the guide hole 211 to support and lock the conduction module 31 after the conduction module 31 slides into place.

[0053] For a crimping module provided in an embodiment of the present invention, when performing a crimping test on a display panel, first, the crimping module is inserted into the carrier board 1, and the display panel body 100 is placed on the carrier board 1. The connector 200 of the display panel passes through the through hole 11 (the through hole 11 is located on the carrier board 1), wherein the connector 200 is arranged obliquely in the through hole 11. Then, the slider 22 is driven to slide, so that the supporting inclined surface 221 moves above the connector 200 and supports the connector 200. At this time, the supporting inclined surface 221 moves into the through hole 11 and accurately supports and positions the connector 200 in the through hole 11, thereby preventing the connector 200 from contacting the back of the screen body 100 and causing damage to the screen body 100 when the connector 200 is subsequently crimped upward. Next, the conductive module 31 is pressed, so that the conductive connector 33 moves upward (obliquely upward relative to the surface of the carrier board 1, that is, in the M direction) to connect the connector 200 of the display panel, and the locking block 32 is moved so that the locking block 32 supports and locks the conductive module 31. Among them, the movement of the conductive module 31 into position means that the conductive module 31 moves to the top of the locking block 32. At this time, the locking block 32 supports the bottom of the conductive module 31 (to prevent the conductive module 31 from moving downward under the action of gravity), and locks the conductive module 31 to ensure that the conductive connector 33 and the connector 200 of the display panel are always in a crimped state. After the crimping test is completed, the locking block 32 retreats to release the lock on the conductive module 31, drives the conductive module 31 to move downward, and finally releases the crimping of the conductive connector 33 on the connector 200 of the display panel. In addition, the slider 22 retreats to release the support of the slider 22 on the connector 200. At this time, the display panel can be removed to prepare for the crimping of the next display panel.

[0054] That is to say, the crimping module provided by the embodiment of the present invention can not only reliably realize the crimping and connection of the tilted connector 200, but also effectively avoid the problem that the connector 200 abuts against the back of the screen 100 when crimping the connector 200 upward, causing damage to the screen 100.

[0055] The crimping module only needs to be inserted into the carrier board 1, and there is no need to significantly change the structure of the carrier board itself. That is, the crimping module can be inserted into various jigs to achieve universal use, thereby reducing production costs.

[0056] For example, the conductive module 31 is provided with a positioning pin 310, and the slider 22 is provided with a positioning hole. This allows the positioning pin 310 to be precisely inserted into the corresponding positioning hole during the upward movement of the conductive module 31, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the upward movement of the conductive module 31. In addition, the slider 22 is provided with a magnet that can attract the steel sheet on the connector 200, so that the connector 200 is closely attached to the support slope 221 of the slider 22. The support slope 221 is provided with a positioning groove to position the connector 200.

[0057] Exemplarily, the bottom of the carrier board 1 has a notch, the base 21 is inserted into the notch, and the notch is communicated with the through hole 11 .

[0058] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the first seat provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the positioning assembly 2 also includes a first elastic member 23, and a slide groove 212 arranged along the first direction (X-axis direction) is provided on the base 21. The slider 22 can be slidably inserted in the slide groove 212, and the first elastic member 23 is clamped between the base 21 and the slider 22.

[0059] In the above embodiment, under the action of the first elastic member 23, the slider 22 automatically moves forward to one end of the slide groove 212. At this time, the slider 22 precisely moves to the target position at the end of the slide groove 212 under the action of the first elastic member 23 (considered as the second state, the slider 22 supports the connector 200). In this position, the supporting inclined surface 221 of the slider 22 is exactly in contact with the connector 200 and is located above the connector 200, achieving precise support for the connector 200. After this, the crimping test can be carried out, and the elastic force of the first elastic member 23 firmly presses the slider 22 against the end of the slide groove 212 (the slider 22 will not move backward during the crimping process).

[0060] Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a transmission assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the unlock button provided by the embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the crimping module also includes a transmission assembly 4, which includes a movable block 41, an unlocking button 42, a limit block 43 and two connecting rods 44. The movable block 41 is slidably arranged on the base 21 along the second direction (Y-axis direction). The movable block 41 is provided with an inclined surface 411 and a guide groove 412 arranged along the first direction. One side of the unlocking button 42 has a boss 421. The unlocking button 42 is slidably arranged on the base 21 to rise and fall relative to the base 21 (Z-axis direction), and the bottom of the unlocking button 42 is against the inclined surface 411 to drive the movable block 41 to slide. The limit block 43 is slidably arranged on the base 21 along the second direction to lock the boss 421 after limiting. One end of a connecting rod 44 is hinged to the base 21, and one end of the other connecting rod 44 is hinged to the slider 22. The other ends of the two connecting rods 44 are hinged and the hinge shaft slides with the guide groove 412 to drive the slider 22 to move toward the back conducting module 31 through the two connecting rods 44.

[0061] Specifically, when the unlock button 42 is pressed downward, it slides downward, and the bottom of the unlock button 42 presses against the inclined surface 411 of the movable block 41, causing the movable block 41 to slide backward in the second direction. As the movable block 41 moves backward, the guide slot 412 pulls the hinge axis of the two connecting rods 44, reducing the angle between the two connecting rods 44. The other connecting rod 44 then pulls the slider 22 backward (moving the slider 22 from one end of the slot 212 to the other end), causing the slider 22 to retreat and disengage from the through-hole 11 of the carrier board 1 (deemed the first state, in which the slider 22 does not support the connector 200), preventing the slider 22 from interfering with the placement of the connector 200. The slider 22's backward movement compresses the first elastic member 23. The limit block 43 then slides upward, moving to a position above the boss 421 of the unlock button 42 to limit the position. At this time, the unlocking button 42 , the movable block 41 , the connecting rod 44 and the slider 22 are all locked, and the first elastic member 23 will not drive the slider 22 to move forward and reset.

[0062] Since the sliding directions of the unlocking button 42 and the movable block 41 are different from the directions of the slider 22, and based on the transmission of the connecting rod 44, the drive of the slider 22 along the first direction can be converted into the drive of the unlocking button 42 to the side (that is, the unlocking button 42 changes the driving position and driving direction relative to the direct drive of the slider 22 through the transmission of the connecting rod 44, and only the unlocking button 42 on the side of the slider 22 is operated to complete the retraction drive of the slider 22, and locking is achieved by operating the lateral limit block 43), which can realize the convenient recovery operation of the slider 22, avoid operating the slider 22 in the narrow space below the screen 100, and improve the testing efficiency.

[0063] It is easy to understand that when the slider is in the first state, the hinge axes of the two connecting rods 44 are at one end of the guide groove 412; when the slider is in the second state, the hinge axes of the two connecting rods 44 are at the other end of the guide groove 412.

[0064] Exemplarily, the other ends of the two connecting rods 44 are hinged on the pin shaft (i.e., the hinge shaft mentioned above), a movable bearing 4121 is inserted in the guide groove 412, and one end of the pin shaft is inserted in the inner ring of the movable bearing 4121, thereby reducing friction.

[0065] Furthermore, in the present positioning assembly 2, the slider 22 is driven forward solely by the elastic force of the first elastic member 23, while the transmission assembly 4 drives the slider 22 backward and compresses the first elastic member 23. Therefore, when driving the slider 22 to the target position, the transmission assembly 4 does not need to actively drive the slider 22; the first elastic member 23 can drive the slider 22, and the slider 22 can be accurately moved to the end of the chute 212.

[0066] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the first seat and the pressure strip provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 This is a schematic structural diagram of the first seat provided by an embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, two spaced apart limiting grooves 215 are provided on the side walls of the base 21 corresponding to the slide groove 212, and each limiting groove 215 extends along the first direction. Bosses are provided on the two opposite sides of the slider 22, and each boss slides in conjunction with the corresponding limiting groove 215.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the limiting groove 215 can limit the slider 22 in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the slider 22 from vertically disengaging from the sliding groove 212 during the sliding process.

[0068] Exemplarily, the base 21 has a step groove, including steps. The inner diameter of the bottom groove is the smallest and is regarded as the slide groove 212. The top groove is the largest. At the same time, a pressure strip 216 is inserted, which can limit the top of the middle groove, thereby forming a limiting groove 215.

[0069] Furthermore, a plurality of guide bearings arranged at intervals are provided at the bottom of the slider 22 , and the outer ring of each guide bearing is slidably engaged with the corresponding side wall of the slide groove 212 , thereby reducing the friction force experienced by the slider 22 during the sliding process.

[0070] It should be noted that the sliding of the movable block 41 is also limited by the above-mentioned limiting groove and guided by the guide bearing, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Exemplarily, the base 21 has a first positioning groove 217, the slider 22 has a second positioning groove 222, and the two ends of the first elastic member 23 are respectively inserted into the first positioning groove 217 and the second positioning groove 222, and the positioning of the two ends of the first elastic member 23 is achieved through the first positioning groove 217 and the second positioning groove 222.

[0072] As shown in the figure, the bottom of the boss 421 has a first inclined surface 4211, and the top of the limit block 43 has a second inclined surface 431. The first inclined surface 4211 is parallel to the second inclined surface 431, and the first inclined surface 4211 is used to drive the second inclined surface 431 to move along the first direction.

[0073] In the above embodiment, when the unlocking button 42 moves downward, the first inclined surface 4211 presses the second inclined surface 431 , thereby causing the limiting block 43 to automatically retreat.

[0074] Furthermore, a fourth elastic member 218 is sandwiched between the limiting block 43 and the base 21 .

[0075] It is easy to understand that when the unlocking button 42 moves downward, the limit block 43 will squeeze the fourth elastic member 218 while retreating. When the boss 421 moves to below the limit block 43, the limit block 43 can be automatically driven to extend under the action of the fourth elastic member 218, thereby realizing automatic locking of the boss 421, and the unlocking button 42 will not move up and reset.

[0076] In one implementation of the present invention, the transmission assembly 4 includes a locking button 45, which is slidably arranged on the base 21 to rise and fall relative to the base 21. A third inclined surface 451 is provided at the bottom of the locking button 45. The third inclined surface 451 is parallel to the second inclined surface 431, and the third inclined surface 451 is used to drive the second inclined surface 431 to move along the first direction.

[0077] In the above embodiment, during the descent process, the locking button 45 can drive the second inclined surface 431 to move via the third inclined surface 451, thereby causing the stop block 43 to overcome the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 218 and retreat, thereby also releasing the stop block 43 from locking the boss 421. At this time, as the first elastic member 23 drives the slider 22 forward, the slider 22 is driven via the connecting rod 44, ultimately causing the movable block 41 to move forward, and the unlocking button 42 to move upward and reset, at which point the slider switches to the second state.

[0078] In other words, pressing the unlock button 42 causes the slider 22 to move backward, unlocking the connector 200 and allowing the display panel to be freely removed. Pressing the lock button 45 releases the restraint on the boss 421, allowing the slider 22 to move forward, positioning the connector 200 and allowing crimping to proceed.

[0079] For example, the lock button 45 is also located on one side of the display panel 100 so that it does not interfere with the display 100 during operation. In addition, a fifth elastic member 219 is also provided between the lock button 45 and the base 21 so that the lock button 45 can automatically move upward and reset after unlocking, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the limit block 43.

[0080] In this embodiment, a pressing plate 220 is provided on the base 21. The pressing plate 220 is provided with a guide hole 211. The unlocking button 42 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 211. The pressing plate plays a guiding role for the unlocking button 42.

[0081] For example, the pressure plate can also guide the locking button 45 .

[0082] In one implementation of the present invention, the conduction module 31 includes a floating plate 311, a button plate 312 and a second elastic member 313. The floating plate 311 can be slidably inserted in the guide hole 211. The two ends of the second elastic member 313 are respectively transmission-connected to the floating plate 311 and the button plate 312. The locking block 32 is used to support and lock the button plate 312.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the second elastic member 313 can realize floating adjustment of the floating plate 311 and the conductive connector 33 , thereby compensating for installation errors during the crimping and conductive process, thereby reducing the setting accuracy of the conductive connector 33 .

[0084] Furthermore, a T-bolt 3121 is movably mounted on the button plate 312, and the top of the T-bolt 3121 is threadedly engaged with the floating plate 311. The bottom of the T-bolt 3121 can guide and limit the button plate 312, preventing the first elastic member 23 from bouncing the button plate 312 away during the reset process.

[0085] Illustratively, the top end of the T-shaped bolt 3121 is threadedly engaged with the floating plate 311 , and the bottom end of the T-shaped bolt 3121 is a T-shaped structure, thereby guiding and limiting the button plate 312 .

[0086] Continuing to refer to the figure, the inner wall of the base 21 has an inner flange 213, which is used to limit the conduction module 31, and the inner flange 213 is spaced from the locking block 32, and a third elastic member 214 is sandwiched between the inner flange 213 and the conduction module 31.

[0087] It's easy to understand that the inner flange 213 serves to limit the upward movement of the conductive connector 33, preventing excessive upward movement of the conductive connector 33 and potentially damaging the display panel connector 200. During the crimping process, the third elastic member 214 is compressed. Once the crimping is complete and the locking block 32 is released, the restoring force generated by the third elastic member 214 causes the entire conductive module 31 to automatically move downward, preparing for the next crimping operation.

[0088] In this embodiment, the crimping module also includes a signal transmission module 5, which includes a first PCB board 51, a cable 52 and a second PCB board 53. The first PCB board 51 is located on the conduction module 31, and the conduction connector 33 is located on the first PCB board 51. The cable 52 connects the first PCB board 51 and the second PCB board 53. The second PCB board 53 is fixed on the base 21, and the second PCB board 53 has multiple test points.

[0089] It is easy to understand that the second PCB board 53 (considered as the fixed end) is fixed on the base 21, and the first PCB board 51 (considered as the movable end) is fixed on the movable conductive module 31. The two are connected and conductive by a flexible cable 52, so that the normal conduction of the circuit can still be guaranteed before and after the first PCB board 51 moves.

[0090] Specifically, when the carrier board 1 is arranged on the test bench, an electrical signal is provided to the second PCB board 53 through the test bench. The electrical signal passes through the cable 52, the first PCB board 51 and the conductive connector 33 in sequence, and is finally transmitted to the connector 200 of the display panel, thereby lighting up the screen body 100 of the display panel.

[0091] For example, multiple test points are provided on the back of the second PCB 53. Correspondingly, multiple relief holes 203 are provided on the base 21, each located within the gap. When the carrier 1 is placed on the test bench, the test points on the test bench pass through the gap and the corresponding relief holes to connect to the multiple test points on the second PCB 53, ultimately illuminating the display panel. Furthermore, the corresponding relief holes allow the button panel 312 and the drive button 6 (described later) to be operated from below the carrier 1.

[0092] Furthermore, the signal transmission module 5 also includes a power supply 54 and multiple lamp beads 55, which are all located on the second PCB board 53, and each lamp bead 55 is electrically connected to a test point corresponding to the conductive connector 33, and the power supply 54 supplies power to each lamp bead 55 through the corresponding test point.

[0093] It's easy to understand that when the conductive connector 33 and the display panel connector 200 are crimped together and properly connected, the various test points on the conductive connector 33 are connected by the corresponding test points on the connector 200 and then connected, forming multiple conductive units. At this time, the power supply 54, the lamp beads 55, and the corresponding conductive units form a closed circuit, and the lamp beads 55 will illuminate normally. However, after actual crimping, if a lamp bead 55 does not illuminate, it indicates that the contact between the test point on the conductive connector 33 and the corresponding test point on the connector 200 is abnormal and should be repaired.

[0094] That is, after the crimping is completed, by observing each lamp bead 55 , it can be determined whether each test point on the conductive connector 33 is normally connected and conductive with the corresponding test point of the connector 200 , so that the fault can be eliminated in time.

[0095] For example, a glass 12 is inserted on the carrier 1, and the glass 12 faces the multiple lamp beads 55, so that the transparent property of the glass 12 above the carrier 1 can be used to conveniently observe whether each lamp bead 55 is normally lit. A positioning tongue module 13 is also provided on the carrier 1.

[0096] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the locking block provided by an embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, a first inclined surface 321 is provided on the side of the locking block 32 facing the guide hole 211. The side of the conductive module 31 can drive the locking block 32 to move after contacting the first inclined surface 321. A sixth elastic member 230 is clamped between the locking block 32 and the base 21 to support and lock the conductive module 31 after driving the locking block 32 to move and reset.

[0097] In the above embodiment, as the conduction module 31 moves upward, the first inclined surface 321 is squeezed by the conduction module 31, automatically causing the locking block 32 to move away from the guide hole 211, thereby retracting (the sixth elastic member 230 is compressed at this time). After the conduction module 31 moves above the locking block 32, the restoring force generated by the sixth elastic member causes the locking block 32 to slide out, thereby automatically locking the conduction module 31.

[0098] Exemplarily, the base 21 has two guide grooves, one end of each guide groove is vertically connected to the guide hole 211 , the locking block 32 is slidably inserted into the guide groove, and the sixth elastic member 230 is located in the corresponding guide groove 412 .

[0099] Exemplarily, each elastic member may be a spring or rubber.

[0100] Furthermore, a slidable driving button 6 is inserted into the base 21. A second inclined surface is formed on one side of the driving button 6, and a third inclined surface 322 is formed on the locking block 32. Preferably, the second inclined surface is parallel to the third inclined surface 322. The second inclined surface is used to drive the third inclined surface 322 to move in the second direction, thereby causing the locking block 32 to move away from the guide hole 211.

[0101] In the above embodiment, after crimping is completed, the driving button 6 is driven upward, so that its second inclined surface presses the third inclined surface 322 of the locking block 32, and finally the locking block 32 retracts, thereby releasing the lock of the conduction module 31. In other words, the conduction module 31 or the driving button 6 can be easily driven by fingers under the base 21.

[0102] For example, a guide shaft is inserted into the base 21, and a strip-shaped hole is provided in the driving button 6. The guide shaft and the strip-shaped hole are slidably matched, thereby guiding the raising and lowering of the driving button 6. In addition, the locking block 32 is provided with a socket 323, and the top of the driving button 6 is inserted into the socket 323. The third inclined surface 322 is an inner wall of one side of the socket 323.
