Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of keyboard production, and in particular to an automated combined processing device for mechanical key shafts of a keyboard. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical keyboard is a keyboard widely welcomed by consumers. Due to its high service life and good feel in use, it is widely used in occasions such as office and entertainment. With the development of technology, the mechanical keyboard has become an important input device in computer equipment.

[0003] Generally, during the production of a mechanical keyboard, key shaft installation is required. Specifically, a positioning plate is provided on the keyboard body, and an installation hole communicating with the PCB board is opened at the positioning plate. The key shaft needs to be assembled into the installation hole by a press-fit connection method, so that the key shaft can be conducted with the PCB board to realize its pressing and triggering function.

[0004] However, there are still many deficiencies in the current key shaft installation process. For example, during the installation of some keyboards, a manual press-fit method is still used, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to ensure the installation quality of the key shaft. Another part of the keyboards will use an automated combined installation device during production, and the press-fit processing is realized through a hydraulic or pneumatic device. However, this part of the equipment also has limitations. For example, when installing the key shaft, it is necessary to sequentially install single key shafts into different installation holes. However, common keyboards have forms such as 108 keys, 104 keys, 87 keys, and 61 keys. Therefore, the assembly process also takes a long time, and the situation of repeated positioning of the keys is involved during this process, making it difficult to ensure its overall accuracy.

[0005] Therefore, there is currently a lack of a solution that can improve both the press-fit efficiency and the press-fit accuracy of multiple key positions, so it is necessary to improve the existing technology.

[0067] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all 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.

[0068] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it can be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0069] In addition, terms such as "long", "short", "inner", "outer", etc. indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have this specific orientation or be constructed and operated in this specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0070] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1-9 and further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention through specific embodiments.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present invention provide an automated combined processing device for keyboard mechanical key shafts, including a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a template mechanism 4, a loading mechanism 5, and a pressing mechanism 6.

[0072] The frame 1 provides an installation position for each mechanism. In this embodiment, the frame 1 has a three-dimensional frame structure to meet the setting requirements of multiple mechanisms, and the specific setting method of the frame 1 is not limited herein.

[0073] At the same time, the conveying mechanism 2 is disposed on the frame 1 and is used to transport the keyboard body. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 2 in this embodiment is horizontally disposed, used to transport the keyboard from one side of the frame 1 to the other side, and can be respectively docked with the production line to achieve the efficient transfer effect of the keyboard; in addition, the middle part of the conveying mechanism 2 is selected as the lifting station 1001. At this time, the lifting mechanism 3 is disposed on the conveying mechanism 2 and is located within the lifting station 1001. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the keyboard body at the lifting station 1001 to move up and down.

[0074] On the one hand, when the keyboard body is sent to the lifting station 1001 by the conveying mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3 lifts the keyboard body so that the keyboard is separated from the conveying mechanism 2 and enters the press-fitting station 1002. It can be understood that the press-fitting station 1002 referred to here is the position where the key shafts are installed on the keyboard body, which is exactly above the lifting station 1001. On the other hand, after the key shafts are assembled to the keyboard body, the lifting mechanism 3 can drive the keyboard body to descend and return to the conveying mechanism 2 for reloading, realizing the automatic loading and unloading function of the keyboard body.

[0075] The specific press-fitting actions of the key shafts and the keyboard body are as follows:

[0076] First of all, the template mechanism 4 in this embodiment is also arranged on the frame 1. Specifically, the template mechanism 4 is movably installed on the frame 1, can be displaced horizontally, and the template mechanism 4 has a plurality of placement stations 1003 for placing key shafts, and each placement station 1003 places a key shaft separately.

[0077] During this process, the loading action of the key shafts is realized by the loading mechanism 5. The loading mechanism 5 is arranged on the frame 1 and adjacent to the template mechanism 4. The loading mechanism 5 is used to fill the key shafts into the placement stations 1003 to realize the automatic loading function. After the key shafts are loaded, the template mechanism 4 can move to directly above the lifting station 1001.

[0078] Immediately afterwards, when the template mechanism 4 is displaced to directly above the lifting station 1001, a number of placement stations 1003 correspond to a number of positioning holes on the keyboard body one by one, so that a number of key shafts correspond to a number of positioning holes one by one.

[0079] Finally, the pressing mechanism 6 is arranged on the frame 1 and above the lifting mechanism 3. The pressing mechanism 6 is used to press-fit the key shafts in the placement stations 1003 into the positioning holes of the keyboard body, so as to achieve the synchronous assembly effect of multiple key shafts.

[0080] Based on the above settings, the functions of automatic reloading of the keyboard body, automatic loading of key shafts, and synchronous assembly of multiple key shafts can be realized, and only one positioning is required between multiple key shafts and the keyboard to complete the press-fitting installation, solving the problems of low key shaft assembly efficiency and low assembly accuracy.

[0081] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , to realize the automatic reloading function of the keyboard body, in the embodiment provided in this application, the conveying mechanism 2 includes two groups of belt modules that are parallel to each other, and the keyboard body realizes a linear reloading action through the belt modules.

[0082] Specifically, the belt module mainly includes a conveyor belt 21, guide wheels 22, a driving wheel 23, and a motor component 24. Among them, multiple guide wheels 22 are provided, such as ten, twenty, or forty, etc. It can be understood that the specific number of the guide wheels 22 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific number of the guide wheels 22 is not limited herein.

[0083] At this time, the driving wheel 23 and multiple guide wheels 22 are respectively rotatably installed on the frame 1, and the multiple guide wheels 22 are in the same horizontal direction. The driving wheel 23 is located below the guide wheels 22, and the conveyor belt 21 is respectively wrapped around the multiple guide wheels 22 and the driving wheel 23.

[0084] Furthermore, the motor component 24 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and its output shaft is connected to the driving wheel 23. The motor component 24 drives the driving wheel 23 to rotate, and the multiple guide wheels 22 form a guiding effect, so that the driving wheel 23 can drive the conveyor belt 21 to rotate when rotating.

[0085] At the same time, in this embodiment, two groups of mutually parallel belt modules share one motor component 24. Specifically, the motor component 24 is fixedly connected to two driving wheels 23 at the same time, so that the two driving wheels 23 rotate synchronously, and then drive the two groups of belt modules to operate synchronously; based on this setting, by placing the keyboard on the conveyor belt 21, the conveyor belt 21 can drive the keyboard body to displace, realizing the transfer function, and the transfer of the keyboard body is efficient and stable.

[0086] Further, referring to Figure 2 , two guiding baffles 25 that are parallel to each other are further provided on the frame 1. The two guiding baffles 25 are respectively located on both sides of the two groups of belt modules, and the distance between the two guiding baffles 25 is slightly larger than the width of the keyboard. At this time, when the keyboard body is transferred on the belt module, it can be guided by the guiding baffles 25, so that the length direction of the keyboard body entering the belt module can be substantially consistent with the transfer direction of the keyboard body, so as to facilitate the subsequent lifting mechanism 3 to perform the lifting operation on the keyboard body.

[0087] Optionally, in another implementation manner, an inclined guide plate can also be provided at the upstream position of the two guiding baffles 25 to form a guiding structure in the shape of a flared opening. The inclined guide plate can correct the keyboard entering the belt module so that it enters the belt module along the length direction.

[0088] Further, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the two sets of belt module brackets form a gap space, and the intermediate area of the gap space in the length direction forms a lifting station 1001. The lifting mechanism 3 is exactly located between the two sets of belt modules and is within the lifting station 1001. At this time, the lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the keyboard body from bottom to top, so that the keyboard body can be quickly switched to the press-fitting state.

[0089] It can be understood that when installing the key shafts of a conventional keyboard body, it is usually necessary to use a manipulator to grab it into the corresponding station. This method usually requires a large-span and long-distance transfer of the keyboard body, which will affect the position accuracy of the keyboard body and also waste a lot of time. Therefore, the effect of generally adopting the lifting mechanism 3 in this embodiment is that the lifting mechanism 3 can directly transfer the keyboard body to the press-fitting station 1002 in place during the linear transfer process. During the above lifting process, when the keyboard body enters the press-fitting station 1002, there is no need for long-distance and long-span scheduling and transfer. On the one hand, it has good displacement accuracy and the structure is not easy to shift. On the other hand, it can effectively shorten the displacement stroke of the keyboard body and improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0090] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting cylinder 31 and a jaw module 32. Among them, the lifting cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 and is located below the lifting station 1001, and its output shaft is arranged vertically upward. In addition, the jaw module 32 is arranged on the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 31 and is used to clamp the mold body. Specifically, the jaw module 32 includes a clamping cylinder 321, a first jaw 322 and a second jaw 323. The clamping cylinder 321 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 31, and the lifting cylinder 31 can drive the clamping cylinder 321 to move up and down. At the same time, the first jaw 322 and the second jaw 323 are respectively fixedly installed on the two output ends of the clamping cylinder 321. Driven by the clamping cylinder 321, the first jaw 322 and the second jaw 323 can be driven to approach or separate from each other. When the two approach each other, the two ends in the length direction of the keyboard body can be grabbed. When the two separate from each other, the keyboard body can be released.

[0091] Based on the above settings, when it is necessary to lift the keyboard body to the press-fitting station 1002, first, the belt module can be started. The belt module drives the keyboard body into the lifting station 1001. Subsequently, the belt module pauses. Immediately afterwards, the clamping cylinder 321 is started to drive the first clamping jaw 322 and the second clamping jaw 323 to grab and position the keyboard body. Then, the lifting cylinder 31 is started, and the lifting cylinder 31 lifts the keyboard body. At this time, the keyboard body enters the press-fitting station 1002. After the key shafts are assembled, the lifting cylinder 31 can be started again to reset it. At this time, the keyboard body falls back onto the belt module. Then, the first clamping jaw 322 and the second clamping jaw 323 are released. Immediately afterwards, the belt module is started, and the assembled keyboard body moves to the downstream, and the keyboard body waiting for assembly re-enters the lifting station 1001.

[0092] After the keyboard body enters the press-fitting station 1002, the template mechanism 4 transfers multiple key shafts to the press-fitting station 1002 at one time, and the multiple key shafts correspond to a number of positioning holes one by one here.

[0093] Refer to Figure 5 , the template mechanism 4 includes a template body 41 and a transverse movement module 42. Among them, the template body 41 is slidably arranged on the frame 1. Specifically, the template body 41 in this embodiment is a rectangular plate-like structure, the template body 41 is horizontally arranged, and sliders are installed on both sides. At the same time, two slide rails are provided on the frame 1, and the two sliders are correspondingly slidably arranged on the two slide rails. With the mutual cooperation of the sliders and the slide rails, the template body 41 can horizontally displace, and one end of the slide rail is close to the press-fitting station 1002, so that the template body 41 can slide into the press-fitting station 1002.

[0094] In addition, refer to Figure 6 , the placement station 1003 runs through the template body 41 up and down, and the key shafts can be placed in the placement station 1003. It can be understood that there are multiple placement stations 1003, and the number and distribution method of the placement stations 1003 are adapted to the number and distribution positions of the positioning holes. When the template body 41 slides to the press-fitting station 1002, the multiple placement stations 1003 correspond to the multiple positioning holes one by one.

[0095] In addition, the transverse movement module 42 is arranged on the frame 1 and is connected to the template body 41, and is used to drive the template body 41 to reciprocate horizontally so that the template body 41 reciprocates to the directly above the lifting station 1001.

[0096] Optionally, the transverse movement module 42 can adopt a linear motor or a cylinder structure. In this embodiment, a cylinder structure is adopted. When the transverse movement module 42 is installed, it is horizontally arranged, and its output end is connected to the template body 41. The transverse movement module 42 can output forward and reset movements, thereby driving the template body 41 to perform linear reciprocating displacement. It can be understood that the specific structure of the transverse movement module 42 can be adjusted according to actual needs and will not be specifically limited here.

[0097] By adopting the above setting scheme, under the displacement output of the transverse movement module 42, the template body 41 can drive the key shaft to displace efficiently and accurately, and the processing efficiency is optimized and improved.

[0098] Further, in the process of placing the key shaft into the placement station 1003, the key shaft needs to remain in the placement station 1003 during displacement and also needs to be released from the placement station 1003 during press-fitting. To achieve this functional effect; continue to refer to Figure 6 , the template mechanism 4 further includes an elastic limiting component 7, and the elastic limiting component 7 includes a limiting plate 71 and a first elastic member 72.

[0099] Specifically, the number of the limiting plates 71 is two. The limiting plates 71 are located in the placement station 1003, and the two limiting plates 71 are respectively rotatably arranged on the template body 41. In this embodiment, the two limiting plates 71 are arranged oppositely, and the limiting plates 71 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the placement station 1003 through a rotating shaft. At this time, the limiting plates 71 can rotate, and when the limiting plates 71 rotate, the opening size of the placement station 1003 will change.

[0100] At the same time, the first elastic member 72 is respectively connected to the limiting plate 71 and the template body 41. The first elastic member 72 is used to provide elastic force for the limiting plate 71. Optionally, the first elastic member 72 can be a spring or an elastic element with elastic supporting force such as a silica gel block or a rubber block, and will not be specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 72 adopts a rubber block as an example.

[0101] Based on the above setting method, the first elastic member 72 has the following states:

[0102] When the key shaft is placed into the placement station 1003, the first elastic member 72 naturally extends, and the first elastic member 72 pushes the limiting plate 71 to rotate into the placement station 1003, and the limiting plate 71 is used to abut and limit the key shaft;

[0103] When the key shaft is pressed down to the positioning hole, the first elastic member 72 is compressed, and the limiting plate 71 moves away from the placement station 1003 and is released from the key shaft. Thus, with the cooperation of the first elastic member 72 and the limiting plate 71, the functional requirements for the key shaft to move, remain, and be released during press-fitting in the placement station 1003 can be met.

[0104] It should be added that during the process of the lifting mechanism 3 lifting the keyboard, although the keyboard can be positioned by the first jaw 322 and the second jaw 323 in the length direction, there may still be some offset in the width direction, resulting in the keyboard body not being able to align with the template body 41. Based on this, the lifting mechanism 3 further includes an elastic deviation correction component 8. Combining Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the jaw module 32 is connected to the lifting cylinder 31 through the elastic deviation correction component 8. The elastic deviation correction component 8 includes a first mounting platform 81, a second mounting platform 82, and a second elastic member 83.

[0105] Among them, the first mounting platform 81 is horizontally arranged. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the first mounting platform 81, and the lifting cylinder 31 can drive the first mounting platform 81 to move up and down. In addition, the second mounting platform 82 is located directly above the first mounting platform 81. The second mounting platform 82 is parallel to the first mounting platform 81. The jaw module 32 is arranged on the second mounting platform 82, and the second mounting platform 82 is slidably matched with the first mounting platform 81. Generally, a slide rail and a slider structure can be arranged between the second mounting platform 82 and the first mounting platform 81 to achieve their mutual sliding cooperation. The specific installation method of the slide rail and the slider will not be elaborated here, but it should be noted that the sliding direction of the slide rail and the slider needs to be consistent with the orientation of the width direction of the keyboard body. Because under the action of the jaw module 32, the keyboard body has been positioned in the length direction, so the main mutual displacement between the first mounting platform 81 and the second platform occurs along the width direction of the keyboard body to make up for the displacement deviation of the keyboard body in the width direction.

[0106] Furthermore, the second elastic member 83 is respectively connected to the first mounting platform 81 and the second mounting platform 82, and is used to apply a reset pulling force to the first mounting platform 81 and the second mounting platform 82. Among them, the second elastic member 83 can be an elastic element with an elastic reset function such as a spring or a tension spring. In this embodiment, a spring is used as an example. The main function of the second elastic member 83 is to pull the mutually offset first mounting platform 81 and the second mounting platform 82 back to the initial state.

[0107] Combining Figure 6, Based on the above settings, in an embodiment of the present application, a receiving groove 411 is further configured on the template mechanism 4, and the receiving groove 411 communicates with a plurality of placement stations 1003 simultaneously. The receiving groove 411 is mainly used for accommodating the keyboard body. Specifically, the receiving groove 411 is recessed at the bottom of the template body 41. The receiving groove 411 is a rectangular groove structure, and the opening size of the receiving groove 411 is consistent with the size of the keyboard body. At the same time, the side of the receiving groove 411 has an inclined guiding surface 412, and the guiding surface 412 is used to guide the offset keyboard body into the receiving groove 411.

[0108] It can be understood that if there is a deviation in the width direction between the keyboard body and the template body 41, during the process of the keyboard body sliding into the receiving groove 411, the guiding surface 412 can provide guidance to the keyboard body, and the keyboard body will drive the second installation platform 82 to offset relative to the first installation platform 81. Thus, the keyboard body obtains a rectifying space, enabling the keyboard body to accurately correspond to the template body 41, and further enabling the placement station 1003 to accurately correspond to the installation hole, ensuring the accurate alignment of the keyboard body and guaranteeing the accuracy of the press-fitting operation. Additionally, while the second installation platform 82 is offset, the first installation platform 81 and the second installation platform 82 compress the second elastic member 83. At this time, the second elastic member 83 obtains a reset elastic force. When the keyboard body descends and leaves the receiving groove 411, it pushes the keyboard body to reset, facilitating the next rectifying action.

[0109] By adopting the above solution, the deviation in the width direction of the keyboard body during the press-fitting process can be reduced, and the accuracy of the press-fitting operation is further guaranteed.

[0110] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Further, to automatically load the key shafts into the placement station 1003, the loading mechanism 5 provided in this embodiment includes a two-dimensional module 51, a vibrating feeder 52, a temporary fixture 53, and a discharging assembly 54.

[0111] Among them, the two-dimensional module 51 is arranged on the frame 1, and the two-dimensional module 51 is used to output a displacement in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the two-dimensional module 51 in this embodiment includes a first linear module 511 and a second linear module 512. The first linear module 511 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and its movement output direction is consistent with the displacement direction of the template body 41. Additionally, the second linear module 512 is fixedly installed on the sliding table of the first linear module 511, and the displacement direction of the second linear module 512 is consistent with the transfer direction of the transfer mechanism 2. Under the combined action of the first linear module 511 and the second linear module 512, a displacement action in the horizontal direction can be output.

[0112] Meanwhile, a vibrating feeder 52 is arranged on the two-dimensional module 51, and the vibrating feeder 52 is used to send out key shafts. Specifically, the vibrating feeder 52 is a vibrating feeding tray. An installation frame is fixedly installed on the sliding table of the second linear module 512. By fixedly arranging the vibrating feeder 52 on the installation frame, its installation is realized. By putting key shafts into the vibrating feeder 52, the vibrating feeder 52 can send out the key shafts in sequence, and the process is efficient and fast.

[0113] In addition, a temporary storage jig 53 is connected to the vibrating feeder 52 and is used to receive the key shafts from the vibrating feeder 52. Specifically, the temporary storage jig 53 in this embodiment has a long strip-shaped structure. A temporary storage channel 531 is recessed at the top of the temporary storage jig 53. The temporary storage channel 531 extends along the length direction of the temporary storage jig 53, and one end of the temporary storage channel 531 is open on one side in the length direction of the temporary storage jig 53. The open end of the temporary storage channel 531 is communicated with the vibrating feeder 52.

[0114] Meanwhile, one end of the temporary storage jig 53 away from the vibrating feeder 52 is the discharging end. A vertically penetrating discharging channel 532 is arranged at the discharging end. The discharging channel 532 is located on one side of the end of the temporary storage channel 531 and is communicated with the temporary storage channel 531. At this time, the two-dimensional module 51 can drive the discharging end of the temporary storage jig 53 to displace to the placing station 1003 and make the discharging channel 532 move directly above the placing station 1003.

[0115] Immediately afterwards, a discharging assembly 54 is arranged at the discharging end of the temporary storage jig 53 and is used to send out the key shafts in the temporary storage jig 53 one by one. Specifically, the discharging channel 532 mainly includes a discharging air cylinder 541 and a discharging push block 542. The discharging air cylinder 541 is fixedly arranged on the temporary storage jig 53 and is located on the side of the temporary storage channel 531 away from the discharging channel 532. The output shaft of the discharging air cylinder 541 is horizontally arranged and faces the discharging channel 532. At the same time, the discharging push block 542 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the discharging air cylinder 541. By starting the discharging air cylinder 541, the discharging push block 542 can reciprocate. During this process, the discharging push block 542 can push the key shafts into the discharging channel 532 until they fall into the placing station 1003, realizing the automatic loading operation of the key shafts.

[0116] Furthermore, looking back Figure 1 , in this embodiment, there are two sets of mutually cooperating template mechanisms 4 and loading mechanisms 5. At this time, the two sets of template mechanisms 4 and loading mechanisms 5 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the placing station 1003, and the two sets of template mechanisms 4 can alternately enter the press-fitting station 1002.

[0117] Based on the above settings, during the assembly process of the key shafts, the key shafts can first be loaded into one set of the template mechanisms 4, and the key shafts are press-fitted into the keyboard body through the template mechanism 4. During this process, the other set of template mechanisms 4 can synchronously perform the loading work of the key shafts. After the previous set of template mechanisms 4 completes the press-fitting work, the other set of template mechanisms 4 that have already loaded the key shafts quickly enter the press-fitting station 1002 to shorten the waiting time for key shaft loading, and the overall press-fitting efficiency is significantly optimized and improved.

[0118] Optionally, the key shafts loaded in the two sets of template mechanisms 4 are in the same key positions or different key positions. Among them, when the two sets of template mechanisms 4 are used to load the key shafts of the same key positions, it is suitable for the efficient production requirements of general model keyboards. In addition, in some customized keyboards, there may be a situation where multiple types of key shafts are used in combination. For some common key position types, such as W, A, S, D, etc., high trigger sensitivity is required, and silver shafts or red shafts are suitable. For the remaining key positions, a sense of paragraph of the keys may be pursued, and blue shafts may be selected. Based on this, different types of key shafts can be respectively installed in the two template mechanisms 4, so that different key shafts can be loaded during a single displacement of the keyboard body, which is suitable for customized settings.

[0119] By adopting the above setting scheme, the press-fitting efficiency of the key shafts can be further improved, and the customized key shaft installation requirements can be met, and the flexibility of the press-fitting action can be enhanced.

[0120] Refer to Figure 9 , to implement the press-fitting processing action, the pressing mechanism 6 provided in this embodiment includes a pressing cylinder 61, a pressing plate 62, and a pressing needle 63. Among them, the pressing cylinder 61 is fixedly arranged on the frame 1 and is located directly above the press-fitting station 1002, and the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 61 is arranged vertically downward; the pressing plate 62 is arranged horizontally and is fixedly arranged on the telescopic rod of the pressing cylinder 61. The pressing cylinder 61 can drive the pressing plate 62 to move up and down. When the pressing cylinder 61 descends, the pressing action can be realized. In addition, multiple pressing needles 63 are arranged on the pressing plate 62. Specifically, the pressing needles 63 are arranged vertically, and the top ends are connected to the pressing plate 62. The specific number and distribution mode of the pressing needles 63 are adapted to the number and distribution mode of the placement stations 1003. The multiple pressing needles 63 are used to correspondingly press multiple key shafts, so as to realize pressing multiple key shafts into multiple positioning holes at the same time.

[0121] Optionally, an elastic buffer is provided between the pressing needle 63 and the pressing plate 62. The elastic buffer can adopt a spring structure. The two ends of the elastic buffer are respectively connected to the pressing needle 63 and the pressing plate 62. The elastic buffer can provide a certain buffer for the press-fitting action, thereby avoiding damaging or crushing the key shafts.

[0122] It can be understood that the conveying mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, the template mechanism 4, the loading mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 6 can be connected to the PLC controller simultaneously, and the actions of each mechanism can be automatically controlled through the PLC controller. In addition, sensors can be configured at the placing station 1003, the lifting station 1001 and the press-fitting station 1002, and the sensors are connected to the PLC controller. Based on the detection of the sensors and combined with the motion programming program of the PLC, efficient cooperation between the mechanisms can be achieved.

[0123] The automatic combined processing equipment for the mechanical key shafts of a keyboard provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0124] 1. It can realize the functions of automatic loading of the keyboard body, press-fitting of multiple key shafts and automatic loading of key shafts. The installation of key shafts is automated, and the problems of low shaft assembly efficiency and low assembly accuracy are solved.

[0125] 2. During the press-fitting process of the keyboard body, the keyboard body can be corrected by the elastic alignment component 8, so that multiple key shafts can correspond to multiple positioning holes one by one, and the press-fitting accuracy is further optimized and improved;

[0126] 3. It can meet the customization requirements of multiple types of key shafts, and the press-fitting is flexible and efficient.
