Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector manufacturing technology, and in particular to a connector inspection and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and economy and the increasing level of science and technology, my country's electronic components industry is also booming. As a core component in electronic systems that realizes circuit, signal and data transmission, connectors have the functions of electronic connection, signal transmission and modular design, and play an important role.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing technologies generally transport the connector directly to the area directly below the CCD detection device via a conveyor belt, and prevent the connector from moving outside the conveyor belt by placing two limiting plates higher than the connector on both sides of the conveyor belt. However, the connector terminals are generally quite small, so during the transport of the connector, the terminals on the connector are prone to collision with the limiting plates, thereby damaging the connector terminals. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To reduce the likelihood of connector terminals being damaged during transport, this application provides a connector inspection and transport device.

[0005] This application provides a connector testing and conveying device, which adopts the following technical solution: A connector testing and conveying device includes a device body, on which a conveyor belt and a CCD detection mechanism are disposed. One end of the conveyor belt extends directly below the CCD detection mechanism. The conveyor belt is used to convey connectors. The device body is further provided with a feeding guide rail. A feeding groove is formed on the top of the feeding guide rail. The conveyor belt is disposed in the feeding groove, and the top of the feeding guide rail is located below the connector terminals on the conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, which uses two limiting plates higher than the connector to prevent the connector from moving outside the conveyor belt and thus easily causing the terminals on the connector to collide with the limiting plates and be damaged, this application, by setting up a feeding guide rail, allows the conveyor belt to be placed in the feeding groove at the top of the feeding guide rail. This allows the inner wall of the feeding groove to limit the connector on the conveyor belt, and the top of the feeding guide rail to be below the connector terminals on the conveyor belt. This reduces the probability of the connector terminals colliding with the inner wall of the feeding groove during transportation, thereby effectively reducing the probability of the connector terminals being damaged during transportation.

[0007] Preferably, the device body is further provided with a continuity detection mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The continuity detection mechanism is located on the side of the CCD detection mechanism away from the conveyor belt. The continuity detection mechanism is used to detect the current and information transmission of the connector. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the connector directly below the CCD detection mechanism to the detection point of the continuity detection mechanism.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection detection mechanism and the conveying mechanism are configured so that the conveying mechanism can transport the connector that has been detected by the CCD detection mechanism to the detection point of the connection detection mechanism, thereby enabling the connection detection mechanism to detect the current and information transmission of the connector and realize automatic connection detection of the connector.

[0009] Preferably, the device body is also provided with a conveying groove for embedding the connector. The continuity detection mechanism is located directly below the extension path of the conveying groove. The conveying mechanism includes a conveying frame and a conveying component. The conveying frame is slidably connected to the device body and the sliding direction is the extension direction of the conveying groove. The connector in the conveying groove is located on the sliding path of the conveying frame. The conveying component is used to drive the conveying frame to slide.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying mechanism is configured so that the conveying frame can push the connector in the conveying groove to slide under the drive of the conveying component, thereby enabling the connector to move along the extension direction of the conveying groove, so that the connector located directly below the CCD detection mechanism can be conveyed to the detection point of the continuity detection mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the extension direction of the conveying trough is parallel to the extension direction of the feeding trough. The conveying mechanism further includes a shifting component, which includes a shifting frame and a shifting element. The shifting frame is slidably connected to the device body, and its sliding direction intersects with the extension direction of the feeding trough. The CCD detection mechanism and the conveying trough are both located directly below the sliding path of the shifting frame. The shifting element is used to drive the shifting frame to slide.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the transposition component, after the CCD inspection mechanism inspects the connector, the transposition component can drive the transposition frame to slide, thereby pushing the connector directly below the CCD inspection mechanism into the conveying groove, effectively realizing the transposition of the connector, and reducing the probability of the conveying mechanism interfering with the CCD inspection mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the device body is further provided with an ejection groove, which is connected to the conveying groove and is located on the side of the conduction detection mechanism away from the CCD detection mechanism. The device body is also provided with an ejection mechanism, which includes a receiving hopper, an ejection frame, and an ejection component. The receiving hopper has an opening at the top and is located on the side of the ejection groove along its own extension direction away from the conveying groove. The ejection frame is slidably connected to the device body, and the connector that is displaced to the point where the conveying groove and the ejection groove communicate is located on the sliding path of the ejection frame. The ejection component is used to drive the ejection frame to slide.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the ejection mechanism is designed so that when the result detected by the CCD detection mechanism or the continuity detection mechanism is unqualified, the ejection component can drive the ejection frame to slide, thereby causing the ejection frame to push the unqualified connector at the connection between the conveying groove and the ejection groove to be displaced, so that the connector falls into the receiving hopper through the ejection groove, thus realizing the screening and recycling of unqualified connectors.

[0015] Preferably, the device body is also provided with a flipping mechanism, which is located on the side of the CCD detection mechanism away from the feeding guide rail. The flipping mechanism includes a flipping frame and a flipping component. A connecting groove for the connector to enter is provided through the side wall of the flipping frame, and the flipping component is used to drive the flipping frame to rotate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the flipping mechanism, after the continuity test, the connector can be moved into the connecting slot in the flipping frame under the drive of the conveying mechanism, so that the flipping component can drive the flipping frame to rotate, and the flipping frame can drive the connector to rotate 180 degrees, thereby flipping the connector and effectively facilitating the operation of the subsequent testing or processing equipment.

[0017] Preferably, the flipping frame is provided with a closing mechanism at both ends along the opening direction of the connecting groove. The closing mechanism includes a closing component and a closing frame. The closing frame is rotatably connected to the flipping frame and is used to close the corresponding opening of the connecting groove. The closing component is used to drive the corresponding closing frame to rotate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the sealing mechanism, the sealing component can drive the sealing frame to rotate during the rotation of the flipping frame, thereby enabling the sealing frame to close the corresponding opening of the connecting slot, thus reducing the probability of the connector falling out of the connecting slot during the flipping process, effectively ensuring the flipping effect of the connector, and reducing the probability of the connector being damaged during the flipping process.

[0019] Preferably, the enclosure assembly includes an active frame, a transmission frame, and a linkage component. The active frame is slidably connected to the tilting frame. One end of the transmission frame is rotatably connected to the active frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the enclosure frame. The tilting frame drives the active frame to slide through the linkage component.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the enclosure component, the tilting frame can drive the active frame to slide through the linkage during rotation, thereby causing the active frame to drive the transmission frame to move. This causes the end of the transmission frame away from the active frame to drive the enclosure frame to rotate, thus driving the enclosure frame and effectively realizing the linkage between the enclosure frame and the tilting frame.

[0021] Preferably, the linkage component includes a linkage frame, one end of which is rotatably connected to the corresponding drive frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the device body.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the linkage frame, when the tilting frame rotates, causing the active frame to move along with the tilting frame, the active frame slides relative to the tilting frame under the restriction of the linkage frame, thereby driving the active frame. This effectively realizes the linkage between the tilting frame and the active frame, and thus realizes the linkage between the tilting frame and the enclosed frame. It saves the need to set up an active device to drive the tilting frame to rotate, saves the installation space, and also facilitates the installation by relevant personnel.

[0023] Preferably, the top of the feeding guide rail is also provided with a limiting frame, which is located on one side of the conveyor belt. The top of the limiting frame is also provided with a limiting part, and the bottom end of the limiting part abuts against the top of the connector on the conveyor belt.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the limiting frame, when the conveyor belt moves the connector, the bottom end of the upper limit part of the limiting frame can abut against the top of the connector, thereby limiting and guiding the displacement of the connector, effectively reducing the probability of the connector tilting upward during the conveying process and reducing the probability of the connector falling out of the feeding trough.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The feeding guide rail is designed so that the conveyor belt can be placed in the feeding trough at the top of the feeding guide rail. This allows the inner wall of the feeding trough to limit the connector on the conveyor belt, and the top of the feeding guide rail is located below the connector terminals on the conveyor belt. This reduces the probability of the connector terminals colliding with the inner wall of the feeding trough during transportation, thereby effectively reducing the probability of the connector terminals being damaged during transportation. 2. The flipping mechanism is designed so that after continuity testing, the connector can move into the connecting slot inside the flipping frame under the drive of the conveying mechanism. This allows the flipping component to drive the flipping frame to rotate, which in turn causes the flipping frame to rotate the connector 180 degrees, thus flipping the connector and effectively facilitating the operation of subsequent testing or processing devices. 3. The closure mechanism is designed so that the closure component can drive the closure frame to rotate during the rotation of the flipping frame, thereby enabling the closure frame to close the corresponding opening of the connecting slot. This reduces the probability of the connector falling out of the connecting slot during the flipping process, effectively ensuring the flipping effect of the connector and reducing the probability of the connector being damaged during the flipping process.

The conveyor belt 21 is disposed within the feeding groove 221, and the top of the feeding guide rail 22 is located below the connector terminals on the conveyor belt 21.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding guide rail 22 is disposed on one side of the device body 1 along its own length direction and is fixedly installed on the device body 1. In this embodiment, the feeding trough 221 is disposed through to facilitate the installation of the conveyor belt 21.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A limiting frame 23 is also provided at the middle of the top of the feeding guide rail 22 along its own length direction. One end of the limiting frame 23 extends to the end of the feeding guide rail 22 near the CCD detection mechanism 3. The limiting frame 23 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 21 and is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding guide rail 22. The top of the limiting frame 23 extends upward and bends towards the conveyor belt 21 to extend a limiting part 231. The limiting part 231 is integrally formed with the limiting frame 23, and the bottom wall of the limiting part 231 abuts against the top of the connector on the conveyor belt 21 to limit the connector on the conveyor belt 21.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the CCD inspection mechanism 3 is configured as a CCD camera. The CCD camera is located on one side of the feeding guide rail 22 along its length and is mounted on a frame on top of the device body 1. The frame is slidably connected to the device body 1, and the sliding direction is vertical. The imaging end of the CCD camera is vertically downward and is used for CCD inspection of the connector. Both the CCD camera and the method for CCD inspection using the CCD camera are prior art and will not be described further here.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the device body 1 is further provided with a lead screw for driving the frame to slide. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the frame, so that when the lead screw rotates, it can drive the frame, which is threadedly connected to it, to slide on the cover in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the CCD camera. In this embodiment, the device body 1 may also be provided with a servo motor for driving the lead screw to rotate.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The device body 1 is provided with two limiting plates 11, the length direction of the two limiting plates 11 is the length direction of the device body 1, and the bottom of each limiting plate 11 is convex towards the other limiting plate 11. A gap is left between the two limiting plates 11 to form a conveying groove 111. The extending direction of the conveying groove 111 is parallel to the extending direction of the feeding groove 221. The conveying groove 111 is used for the connector to be embedded in it.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 One end of the conveying trough 111 is located directly below the CCD detection mechanism 3 on one side along the width direction of the device body 1. The device body 1 is also provided with a conveying mechanism 4, which includes a shifting component 41. The shifting component 41 includes a shifting frame 411 and a shifting element 412. The shifting frame 411 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a slide rail, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the conveying trough 111 (i.e., the width direction of the device body 1).

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connector located directly below the CCD detection mechanism 3 is situated on the sliding path of the transposition frame 411. In this embodiment, the transposition component 412 is configured as a cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the device body 1, and the piston rod extends in the same direction as the sliding direction of the transposition frame 411 and is fixedly connected to the transposition frame 411 to drive the sliding of the transposition frame 411.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The device body 1 is also provided with a continuity detection mechanism 5. In this embodiment, the continuity detection mechanism 5 is configured as a current transmission detector and a signal transmission detector. Both the current transmission detector and the signal transmission detector are installed on the device body 1 and are located on the side of the CCD detection mechanism 3 away from the feeding guide rail 22, and are both located directly above the conveying trough 111.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The aforementioned current transmission detector is used to detect the rated operating current of the connector, thereby verifying the connector's continuous conduction capability under the nominal current. The signal transmission detector is used to detect the signal transmission quality of the connector, thereby verifying the transmission quality of high-frequency or high-speed signals and ensuring no distortion or attenuation. Both the current transmission detector and the signal transmission detector are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The conveying mechanism 4 also includes a conveying frame 42 and a conveying component 43. In this embodiment, the number of conveying frames 42 and conveying components 43 is set to several, and the several conveying frames 42 are distributed along the extension direction of the conveying trough 111. Each conveying frame 42 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a slide rail, and the sliding direction is the extension direction of the conveying trough 111.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each conveyor frame 42 has its top end extending from below the conveyor trough 111, through the conveyor trough 111, and above the conveyor trough 111, thereby positioning the connector within the conveyor trough 111 on the sliding path at the top of each conveyor frame 42. In this embodiment, each conveyor element 43 is configured as a cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the device body 1, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to the corresponding conveyor frame 42 to drive the conveyor frame 42 to slide.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The top of the limiting frame 23, which is away from the shifting member 412, is also provided with an ejection groove 112. The ejection groove 112 is located in the middle of the corresponding limiting frame 23 along its own length direction and is located on the side of the conduction detection mechanism 5 away from the CCD detection mechanism 3. One end of the ejection groove 112 is connected to the conveying groove 111, and the other end extends away from the other limiting frame 23 and reaches the end of the corresponding limiting frame 23.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The device body 1 is also provided with an ejection mechanism 6, which includes a receiving bin 61, an ejection frame 62, and an ejection component 63. The receiving bin 61 has an opening at the top and is fixedly installed on the device body 1, located at the end of the ejection groove 112 away from the conveying groove 111. The height of the opening at the top of the receiving bin 61 is equal to or less than the height of the bottom wall of the ejection groove 112.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the ejector 63 is configured as a cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the device body 1 and located on the side of the two limiting brackets 23 near the shifting member 412, and the piston rod extends in the width direction of the device body 1. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the ejector frame 62, and the ejector frame 62 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a slide rail, and the sliding direction is in the width direction of the device body 1.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sliding direction of the ejector 62 is the same as the extension direction of the ejector groove 112, and the bottom of the ejector 62 is provided with a groove for the connector to pass through. The ejector 62 pushes the connector, which is displaced to the point where the conveying groove 111 and the ejector groove 112 communicate, into the ejector groove 112, and then falls into the top opening of the receiving hopper 61 via the ejector groove 112.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A through groove runs through the top of the limiting frame 23, which is away from the receiving hopper 61. This through groove is located on the side of the ejector frame 62 away from the conduction detection mechanism 5, and it divides the conveying trough 111 into two sections. A flipping mechanism 7 is also provided on the device body 1. The flipping mechanism 7 includes a flipping frame 71 and a flipping component 72. In this embodiment, the flipping component 72 is a servo motor. The servo motor is fixedly mounted on the device body 1, and the extension direction of its output shaft is the width direction of the device body 1.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The flipping frame 71 is disposed in the through slot opened in the limiting frame 23 and is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the servo motor, thereby indirectly rotatably connecting with the device body 1. A connecting slot 711 is also provided through one end of the flipping frame 71 along the extension direction of the conveying groove 111, and the two sections of the conveying groove 111 are connected through the connecting slot 711.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The device body 1 is also equipped with a transfer mechanism 8, which includes a moving component 81, a fixing component 82, and a robotic arm 83. The moving component 81 is located on the side of the limiting frame 23 away from the feeding guide rail 22. The moving component 81 includes a moving frame 811 and a moving part 812. The moving frame 811 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a slide rail, and the sliding direction is the width direction of the device body 1. An embedding groove 8111 is also provided on the side wall of the moving frame 811 near the limiting frame 23. The embedding groove 8111 is used for the connector conveyed by the conveying frame 42 to be embedded in it.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the movable component 812 is configured as a cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the device body 1, and the extension direction of the piston rod is the same as the sliding direction of the movable frame 811. The piston rod is fixedly connected to the movable frame 811 to drive the movable frame 811.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The positioning assembly 82 includes a positioning frame 821 and a positioning cylinder 822. The positioning frame 821 is located on the side of the movable frame 811 away from the limiting frame 23 along its own sliding direction. The positioning frame 821 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a slide rail, and the sliding direction is the length direction of the device body 1. A positioning block 823 is also fixedly connected to one end of the positioning frame 821 near the movable frame 811. The sliding path of the positioning block 823 when it slides together with the fixed frame intersects with the sliding path of the movable frame 811.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The positioning cylinder 822 is fixedly installed on the device body 1, and the extension direction of the piston rod is the sliding direction of the positioning frame 821. The piston rod is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 821 to drive the sliding of the positioning frame 821.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The robotic arm 83 is slidably connected to the device body 1 via a frame, and its sliding direction is the same as that of the retaining frame 821. In this embodiment, the device body 1 is also provided with a cylinder for driving the robotic arm 83 to move, so that after the robotic arm 83 grasps or adsorbs the connector, it can transport the connector to the next process.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame on which the robotic arm 83 is located may also be equipped with a lifting device for driving the robotic arm 83 to move up and down. In this application, the lifting device is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the robotic arm 83. When the robotic arm 83 moves directly above the sliding path of the moving frame 811, it is driven down by the aforementioned cylinder, so that after the fixing block 823 abuts against the connector on the moving frame 811, the robotic arm 83 can descend to grasp or adsorb the connector.

[0059] The implementation principle of the connector testing and conveying device in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: During use, the conveyor belt 21 transports the connector to directly below the CCD testing mechanism 3. During this process, the limiting frame 23 abuts against the top of the connector to limit its position. Subsequently, the CCD testing mechanism 3 performs CCD testing on the connector. After the testing is completed, the shifting component 412 drives the shifting frame 411 to slide, thereby causing the shifting frame 411 to push the connector after the CCD testing is completed into the conveying groove 111.

[0060] Afterwards, the conveying mechanism 4 drives the connector to slide in the conveying groove 111, and after the connector is fully inspected by the continuity detection mechanism 5, it moves to the intersection of the ejection groove 112 and the conveying groove 111, so that the ejection mechanism 6 ejects the unqualified connectors detected by the CCD detection or continuity detection mechanism 5, and the unqualified connectors fall into the receiving hopper 61.

[0061] The qualified connector enters the flipping frame 71 of the conveying mechanism 4. After the flipping frame 71 flips, the conveying mechanism 4 drives the connector into the embedding slot 8111 on the moving frame 811. Then, the moving component 812 moves the moving frame 811 away from the conveying trough 111. The fixing frame 821, driven by the fixing cylinder 822, abuts against the connector on the moving frame 811, positioning the connector. The robot arm 83 then picks up the positioned connector, thus conveying it to the next process.

[0062] Example 2: The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 in this application is that: (Refer to...) Figure 6 and Figure 7The tilting frame 71 is rotatably connected to a limiting frame 23 via a pin. Both ends of the tilting frame 71 along the opening direction of its own connecting groove 711 are provided with a closing mechanism 9. Each closing mechanism 9 includes a closing component 91 and a closing frame 92. The top end of the closing frame 92 near the ejector 62 is rotatably connected to the corresponding end of the tilting frame 71 via a pin, and the bottom end of the closing frame 92 away from the ejector 62 is rotatably connected to the corresponding end of the tilting frame 71 via a pin.

[0063] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each enclosure component 91 includes an active frame 911, a transmission frame 912, and a linkage 913. One end of each transmission frame 912 is rotatably connected to the corresponding enclosure frame 92 via a pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding active frame 911 via a pin. Each active frame 911 is slidably connected to the tilting frame 71 via a slide rail, and the straight line of the sliding direction intersects the rotation axis of the tilting frame 71.

[0064] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each linkage 913 includes a linkage frame 9131. One end of each linkage frame 9131 is rotatably connected to the corresponding active frame 911 via a pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding limiting frame 23 via a pin. In the initial state, i.e. when the closing frame 92 is fully open, the rotation axis of the end of the linkage frame 9131 away from the active frame 911 and the plane coplanar with the rotation axis of the flipping frame 71 are perpendicular to the sliding direction of the corresponding active frame 911. This ensures that when the flipping frame 71 rotates 90 degrees, the two closing frames 92 abut against the corresponding openings of the flipping frame 71, thereby achieving complete closure. And when the flipping frame 71 continues to rotate 90 degrees, the two flipping frames 71 fully open again.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Initially, the length direction of the tilting frame 71 is parallel to the length direction of the limiting frame 23. At this time, the closing frame 92 is fully open, and the active frame 911 is located on its sliding path closer to the corresponding tilting frame 71. When the tilting component 72 drives the end of the tilting frame 71 away from the ejector frame 62 to rotate downward, the active frame 911 is displaced with the tilting frame 71. At this time, the linkage frame 9131 drives the active frame 911 to slide relative to the tilting frame 71. During this process, the active frame 911 drives the transmission frame 912 to slide, thereby causing the transmission frame 912 to drive the corresponding closing frame 92 to rotate.

[0066] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7When the tilting frame 71 rotates 90 degrees, making the opening on the tilting frame 71 vertically downward, the closing frame 92 abuts against the end of the tilting frame 71, thus completely closing the opening of the tilting frame 71. At this time, the driving frame 911 slides to the end of its sliding path closest to the rotation axis of the tilting frame 71. As the tilting frame 71 continues to rotate, the driving frame 911 gradually slides away from the rotation axis of the tilting frame 71. When the tilting frame 71 has rotated a total of 180 degrees, the tilting frame 71 opens completely again.

[0067] The implementation principle of the connector testing and conveying device in Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: When the flipping component 72 drives the flipping frame 71 to rotate downward away from the push-out frame 62, the active frame 911 is displaced along with the flipping frame 71. At this time, the linkage frame 9131 drives the active frame 911 to slide relative to the flipping frame 71. During this process, the active frame 911 drives the transmission frame 912 to slide, thereby causing the transmission frame 912 to drive the corresponding closed frame 92 to rotate.

[0068] When the tilting frame 71 rotates 90 degrees, making the opening on the tilting frame 71 vertically downward, the closing frame 92 abuts against the end of the tilting frame 71, thus completely closing the opening of the tilting frame 71. At this time, the driving frame 911 slides to the end of its sliding path closest to the rotation axis of the tilting frame 71. As the tilting frame 71 continues to rotate, the driving frame 911 gradually slides away from the rotation axis of the tilting frame 71. When the tilting frame 71 has rotated a total of 180 degrees, the tilting frame 71 opens completely again.

[0069] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
