DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] The following will further describe the present invention in detail Figure 1-4 in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: A keycap inserting device, including a support frame 1, a frame box 2, a drive cylinder 3, an extrusion member 4 and a control box 5. The frame box 2 is installed on the support frame 1, the drive cylinder 3 and the control box 5 are both installed on the frame box 2, the extrusion member 4 is arranged inside the frame box 2, the output end of the drive cylinder 3 is connected to the extrusion member 4, and the control box 5 is electrically connected to the drive cylinder 3.

[0024] Each component is installed independently, facilitating maintenance and replacement. The driving cylinder 3 replaces manual pressing, improving installation efficiency and consistency. The control box 5 integrates the electrical system, simplifies the operation process, and reduces the risk of misoperation.

[0025] The frame box 2 includes an upper support plate 21 and a lower support plate 22. The upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are connected by four groups of support shafts 23. A stable structure is formed between the upper and lower support plates 21, 22 and the support shafts 23, reducing deformation during stamping. The upper and lower support plates 21, 22 provide an installation reference, facilitating the positioning and fixing of internal components of the equipment.

[0026] An opening 24 is provided at the front of the frame box 2. The opening design facilitates loading and unloading by manual or robotic arm, improving production continuity. Operators can directly observe the keycap installation process and make timely adjustments.

[0027] Safety light curtains 25 are provided on both sides of the front of the frame box 2. The light curtains monitor the operation area in real time. When an obstacle is detected, the driving cylinder 3 immediately stops operating, avoiding pinching accidents, meeting the safety protection requirements of industrial equipment, and reducing the safety risk of the enterprise.

[0028] The extrusion member 4 includes a punch head 41, a pressure plate 42, and a keycap jig 43. The upper part of the punch head 41 is connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 3. The lower part of the punch head 41 is connected to the pressure plate 42. The keycap jig 43 is connected to the lower part of the pressure plate 42. The direct connection between the punch head 41 and the pressure plate 42 reduces energy loss and ensures stable punching force. The keycap jig 43 can be replaced according to different keycap models, supporting multi-product line production.

[0029] The keycap jig 43 is threadedly connected to the pressure plate 42. The threaded fixing method can be disassembled without tools, and the die change time is shortened to the minute level. The threaded connection ensures the coaxiality between the jig and the pressure plate 42, improving the keycap installation accuracy.

[0030] The four corners of the pressure plate 42 are sleeved on the support shafts 23 through guide sleeves 44. A shock-absorbing spring 45 is sleeved on the support shafts 23. The sliding fit between the guide sleeves 44 and the support shafts 23 ensures the vertical movement of the pressure plate 42, avoiding tilting. The spring absorbs the stamping impact force, reduces equipment vibration and noise, and extends the service life of mechanical components.

[0031] Control buttons 6 are provided at the front of the support frame 1. The control box 5 is connected to the control buttons 6 and the safety light curtains 25. The control buttons 6 are close to the operation area, facilitating operators to quickly start and stop the equipment. The control box 5 integrates the signals of the safety light curtains 25 to achieve the emergency stop function, improving operation safety.

[0032] The bottom support feet 7 and adjustable moving wheels 8 of the support frame 1. The moving wheels 8 support the rapid transfer of the equipment in the workshop, meeting the production requirements of multiple workstations. The adjustable design ensures that the equipment remains level on uneven ground, avoiding shaking during stamping.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The keycap jig 43 is detachable and replaceable, adapting to multiple models of keycaps, improving production flexibility. The safety light curtain 25 is linked with the control button 6 to avoid accidents caused by misoperation. The spring 45 and the guide sleeve 44 cooperate to reduce stamping vibration, extend the service life of the equipment and improve the installation accuracy. The front opening 24 design facilitates loading and unloading. The moving wheels 8 support rapid positioning, reducing labor intensity.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Equipment assembly: Place the support frame 1 in the working area, fix the position through the adjustable moving wheels 8. The frame box 2 is fixed to the top of the support frame 1 by bolts. The driving cylinder 3 is installed on the top of the frame box 2, and the control box 5 is fixed on the side.

[0036] Extrusion member assembly: The punch head 41 is connected to the piston rod of the driving cylinder 3. The pressure plate 42 is sleeved on the support shaft 23 through the guide sleeve 44. The shock-absorbing spring 45 is pre-compressed and installed below the guide sleeve 44. The keycap jig 43 is fixed to the bottom of the pressure plate 42 by bolts.

[0037] Operation process: Select the corresponding keycap jig 43 according to the keycap model, install it on the pressure plate 42. Press the control button 6 to start the equipment. Place the keyboard base on the lower support plate 22 inside the frame box 2. The driving cylinder 3 drives the punch head 41 to move downward. The pressure plate 42 presses the keycap into the base through the keycap jig 43, and the shock-absorbing spring 45 absorbs the impact force. After stamping is completed, the driving cylinder 3 drives the pressure plate 42 to reset, and take out the installed keyboard.

[0038] Safety and maintenance: The safety light curtain 25 monitors the front area in real time. When an obstacle is detected, it immediately stops the action of the driving cylinder 3. The control box 5 can set the stamping stroke and pressure parameters to meet the installation requirements of different keycaps. The shock-absorbing spring 45 is regularly inspected and can be quickly replaced through the guide sleeve 44 after wear.

[0039] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
