Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of notebook computer assembly, and in particular to an automatic alignment and locking device. Background Technology
[0002] During the manufacturing process of laptops, the keyboard module and screen module need to be pivotally connected. To improve the alignment and assembly accuracy, locking devices are usually used for automatic alignment. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202123368123.5 discloses an automatic calibration locking device for laptop assembly, including a carrier, a positioning mechanism, a CCD mechanism, a fine-tuning mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The screen module is supported on the carrier, and the keyboard module is stacked on top of the screen module. The positioning mechanism includes first positioning blocks located on the left and right sides of the carrier and second positioning blocks located on the front and rear sides of the carrier. The screen module is fixed in the left-right direction by the first positioning blocks, and the second positioning block located at the front is connected to a drive cylinder. The second positioning block is used to position the screen module and keyboard module in the front-rear direction. There are two fine-tuning mechanisms, one on the left and one on the right side of the carrier. By pushing the keyboard module in the carrier with the fine-tuning mechanism, the keyboard module moves slightly relative to the screen module to ensure that the gap between the keyboard module and the screen module is within acceptable limits. Two CCD mechanisms are located on the rear of the carrier. These mechanisms are aligned with the gap between the keyboard module and the screen module. The actual gap is obtained through the CCD mechanisms and fed back to the controller. The controller then controls the fine-tuning mechanism to make precise adjustments, ensuring the keyboard and screen modules are precisely aligned. A locking mechanism then screws onto the hinges between the keyboard and screen modules.
[0003] However, the locking device with the above structure requires a CCD mechanism to obtain the actual gap between the keyboard module and the screen module, and a fine-tuning mechanism to fine-tune the keyboard module according to the gap. The process is cumbersome, inefficient, and requires high precision from the fine-tuning mechanism.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to overcome the aforementioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0052] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic alignment and locking device corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a carrier 100 for carrying products to be aligned (not shown), the products including a screen module and a keyboard module stacked on top of the screen module, the carrier 100 having a positioning block 110 on one side in the Y-axis direction; a pushing mechanism 200 located on the other side of the carrier 100 in the Y-axis direction, adapted to push and position the screen module and keyboard module against the positioning block 110; and a first clamping mechanism 300 including a first drive module 310 and two first grippers 320 tractively connected to the first drive module 310, the two first grippers 320 being disposed on both sides of the carrier 100 in the X-axis direction. And corresponding to the screen module; the second clamping mechanism 400 includes a second drive module 410 and two second grippers 420 that are pulsatorically connected to the second drive module 410. The two second grippers 420 are respectively disposed on both sides of the carrier 100 in the X-axis direction and correspond to the keyboard module; the locking mechanism 500 is adapted to lock the screws on the hinge between the screen module and the keyboard module; wherein, the two first grippers 320 are adapted to move towards each other in the X-axis direction under the drive of the first drive module 310 to center the screen module, and the two second grippers 420 are adapted to move towards each other in the X-axis direction under the drive of the second drive module 410 to center the keyboard module.
[0053] This invention utilizes a pushing mechanism 200 to push and position the screen module and keyboard module against the positioning block 110 along the Y-axis, thereby achieving positioning of the screen module and keyboard module in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, it incorporates a first clamping mechanism 300 and a second clamping mechanism 400. The first clamping mechanism 300 includes a first driving module 310 and two first grippers 320 connected to the first driving module 310. The two first grippers 320 are adapted to move towards each other along the X-axis and clamp the screen module, thus centrally positioning the screen module in the X-axis direction. The second clamping mechanism 400 includes a second drive module 410 and two second grippers 420 that are pulverizedly connected to the second drive module 410. The two second grippers 420 are adapted to move toward each other along the X-axis and clamp the keyboard module to center the keyboard module in the X-axis direction. This ensures that the locking mechanism 500 can accurately tighten the screws on the hinge between the screen module and the keyboard module without needing to detect and adaptively adjust the gap between the screen module and the keyboard module through a CCD mechanism. The process is simple and the alignment is more efficient.
[0054] Furthermore, the locking device includes a machine base 600, a carrier 100, a pushing mechanism 200, a first clamping mechanism 300, a second clamping mechanism 400, and a locking mechanism 500, all of which are mounted on the machine base 600.
[0055] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the carrier 100 has a square structure with an outer contour adapted to the product contour. Two positioning blocks 110 are arranged side by side along the X-axis and located at both ends of the carrier 100 on the Y-axis side. Since the sides of the screen module are arc surfaces, if the bottom of the screen is not attached to the carrier 100, it is easy for it to lift up when the pushing mechanism 200 pushes it, thus causing damage. To avoid the above situation, in this embodiment, the carrier 100 is a vacuum adsorption structure, and its bearing surface is provided with several suction cups 120 for adsorbing the screen module. The screen module can be tightly adsorbed onto the bearing surface of the carrier 100 through the suction cups 120. When the pushing mechanism 200 operates, it is suitable for overcoming the adsorption force of the carrier 100 to push the screen module and can effectively prevent the screen module from lifting up. Preferably, there are four suction cups 120, which are distributed at the four corners of the carrier 100 to adsorb the four corners of the screen module respectively, and the screen module is flatter after adsorption.
[0056] Further, the pushing mechanism 200 includes a first pushing component 210 and a second pushing component 220. The first pushing component 210 includes a first pushing drive 211 and a first pushing roller 212 pulsorily connected to the first pushing drive 211, the first pushing roller 212 corresponding to the screen module. The second pushing component 220 includes a second pushing drive 221 and a second pushing roller 222 pulsorily connected to the second pushing drive 221, the second pushing roller 222 corresponding to the keyboard module. In this embodiment, both the first pushing drive 211 and the second pushing drive 221 are linear cylinders arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the rotation axes of the first pushing roller 212 and the second pushing roller 222 are parallel to the Z-axis. The first pushing roller 212 is adapted to push the screen module to the positioning block 110 under the drive of the first pushing drive 211, and the second pushing roller 222 is adapted to push the keyboard module to the positioning block 110 under the drive of the second pushing drive 221. Preferably, there are two first pushing components 210, which are arranged side by side along the X-axis to correspond to the two ends of the screen module to be pushed in the X-axis direction; there are two second pushing components 220, which are arranged side by side along the X-axis to correspond to the two ends of the keyboard module to be pushed in the X-axis direction.
[0057] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first drive module 310 can employ a lead screw with a double helix structure in conjunction with a motor, or a linear motor with two movers, giving the first drive module 310 two output ends. Each first gripper 320 is connected to a different output end, enabling the two first grippers 320 to move towards or away from each other along the X-axis. The structure of the second drive module 410 is the same as that of the first drive module 310, and will not be described further here.
[0058] Preferably, the carrier 100 is connected to brackets 130 on both sides in the Y-axis direction. The brackets 130 are adapted to keep the carrier 100 in a suspended state. The first drive module 310 and the second drive module 410 are both inserted below the carrier 100 in the X-axis direction to make the carrier 100 and the clamping mechanism more compact. Preferably, a connecting seat 430 is connected between each second gripper 420 and the output end of its corresponding second drive module 410. The connecting seat 430 forms a clearance area 431 through the X-axis direction. The first drive module 310 is inserted through the clearance area 431 and is located above the second drive module 410, while the first gripper 320 is located below the second gripper 420. By adopting the above structure, the first drive module 310 and the second drive module 410 are very compact, and the mutual limitation of the first gripper 320 and the second gripper 420 during movement is effectively avoided.
[0059] Furthermore, the first clamping mechanism 300 includes a first mounting plate 330 and a support block 340. A first drive module 310 is disposed on the top of the first mounting plate 330, and a first gripper 320 is supported above the first drive module 310. A first slide rail assembly 350 is provided between the first gripper 320 and the first mounting plate 330 to guide the first gripper 320 to move along the X-axis direction. The first mounting plate 330 passes through the clearance area 431, and the support block 340 is disposed at the bottom of the first mounting plate 330 and supported by the machine base 600. The support block 340 is located around the second clamping mechanism 400 to support the first mounting plate 330, so as to prevent the weight of the first mounting plate 330 and the first drive module 310 located thereon from being borne by the clearance area 431, so that the connecting seat 430 can move smoothly relative to the first clamping mechanism 300 along the X-axis direction. Preferably, there are multiple support blocks 340, which are distributed on both sides of the first mounting plate 330 in the Y-axis direction.
[0060] Furthermore, the second clamping mechanism 400 includes a second mounting plate 440, a second drive module 410 disposed on the top of the second mounting plate 440, a connecting seat 430 supported above the second drive module 410, a second gripper 420 located on the top of the connecting seat 430, and a second slide rail assembly 450 disposed between the connecting seat 430 and the second mounting plate 440 to guide the connecting seat 430 and the second gripper 420 located thereon to move along the X-axis direction.
[0061] Preferably, the second clamping mechanism 400 further includes an adjustment module 460 located below the second mounting plate 440. The adjustment module 460 is a linear module arranged along the X-axis direction and is connected to the second mounting plate 440 in a transmission manner to drive the second mounting plate 440 to adjust its position along the X-axis direction.
[0062] This invention, by setting an adjustment module 460, allows for the use of the centering position of the first gripper 320 as a reference when the device experiences alignment errors due to prolonged use or during device debugging. The adjustment module 460 then adjusts the position of the second drive module 410 in the X-axis direction, thereby adjusting the centering position of the second gripper 420. This ensures that the positioned keyboard module aligns with the positioned screen module of the first gripper 320, eliminating the need for additional adjustments to the gripper positions of the first drive module 310 and / or the second drive module 410, making the operation very convenient.
[0063] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the first gripper 320 includes a support 321, a clamping member 322, and an elastic member 323. The support 321 is fixed to the output end of the first drive module 310. The clamping member 322 is disposed on the support 321 and can rotate about a direction parallel to the Z-axis. Specifically, a rotating member 324 can be disposed between the clamping member 322 and the support 321. One side of the clamping member 322 in the X-axis direction is the clamping side 3221, and the clamping sides 3221 of each first gripper 320 are arranged opposite to each other. The other side of the clamping member 322 away from the clamping side 3221 is the connecting side 3222. The elastic member 323 is connected between the support 321 and the connecting side 3222. There are several elastic members 323, which are disposed at both ends of the connecting side 3222 in the Y-axis direction. In this embodiment, the elastic member 323 is a spring, and its extension direction is parallel to the X-axis direction. In its natural state, the elastic elements 323 at both ends can keep the clamping element 322 in a preset position, preventing the first gripper 320 from rotating relative to the support 321.
[0064] By employing the aforementioned structure, the first gripper 320 can adaptively rotate according to the actual side of the screen module when it approaches and contacts the screen module, adjusting to a contact angle with the side of the screen module, thus making the pushing and clamping of the first gripper 320 more reliable. After adjustment, the elastic element 323 at one end is compressed, and the elastic element 323 at the other end is stretched. When the first gripper 320 moves away from the screen module, the clamping member 322 can quickly and reliably return to the preset position under the action of the elastic elements 323 at both ends.
[0065] Preferably, the support 321 is recessed inward on one side in the X-axis direction to form a limiting groove 3211, and the clamping member 322 is partially housed in the limiting groove 3211. The bottom of the limiting groove 3211 is arranged opposite to the connecting side 3222 of the clamping member 322. The elastic member 323 is connected between the bottom of the limiting groove 3211 and the connecting side 3222. The limiting groove 3211 is suitable for limiting the maximum rotation angle of the clamping member 322 when it rotates forward and backward, thereby improving the positional reliability of the clamping member 322 on the support 321.
[0066] Preferably, a flexible block 325 is provided on the clamping side 3221 of the clamping member 322. The flexible block 325 can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone. The flexible block 325 is used to contact the screen module to prevent damage to the screen module during clamping. There are two flexible blocks 325, which are respectively located at both ends of the clamping side 3221 in the Y-axis direction.
[0067] Furthermore, the structure of the second gripper 420 is the same as that of the first gripper 320, so that it can securely and reliably grip the keyboard module. This invention will not be described in detail here.
[0068] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the locking mechanism 500 includes a Y-axis module 510, an X-axis module 520, a camera module 530, a Z-axis module 540, and an electric screwdriver module 550. The Y-axis module 510, X-axis module 520, and Z-axis module 540 are all linear modules. The X-axis module 520 is drive-connected to the output end of the Y-axis module 510 and has two output ends. There are two camera modules 530, each located at a different output end of the X-axis module 520. The camera modules 530 are positioned above the carrier 100 with their shooting ends facing downwards. There are two Z-axis modules 540, each connected to a different output end of the X-axis module 520. There are two electric screwdriver modules 550, each connected to a different output end of the Z-axis module 540. The electric screwdriver modules 550 are positioned above the carrier 100. The camera module 530 is adapted to move to the carrier 100 under the drive of the Y-axis module 510 and the X-axis module 520 to photograph and obtain the actual position of the hinge to be locked, so that the electric screwdriver module 550 can accurately contact the screw on the hinge and lock it under the drive of the Y-axis module 510, the X-axis module 520 and the Z-axis module 540.
[0069] The automatic alignment and locking device of this invention operates as follows: First, the product to be installed is placed on the carrier 100. The first pushing component 210 and the second pushing component 220 push the screen module and the keyboard module to the positioning block 110, respectively. The camera module 530, driven by the X-axis module 520 and the Y-axis module 510, moves to the carrier 100 and takes a picture of the hinge to determine if there are screws at the hinge. If there are no screws at the hinge, the operator removes the product. If there are screws, the electric screwdriver module 550, driven by the X-axis module 520, the Y-axis module 510, and the Z-axis module 540, moves to the screw and loosens it. Then, the first pushing component 210 and the second pushing component 220 reset and loosen the screen module and the keyboard module. The suction cup 120 of the carrier 100 is activated to attract the screen module. The first pushing component 210 and the second pushing component 220 push the screen module and the keyboard module back to the positioning block. Step 110: Positioning of the screen module and keyboard module in the Y-axis direction is achieved, and the suction cup 120 of the carrier 100 releases its adsorption on the screen module. Then, the first jaw 320 of the first clamping mechanism 300 moves towards each other to clamp the screen module, achieving positioning of the screen module in the X-axis direction. The second jaw 420 of the second clamping mechanism 400 moves towards each other to clamp the keyboard module, achieving positioning of the keyboard module in the X-axis direction. Next, the camera module 530 moves to the position of the first jaw 320 and the second jaw 420 under the drive of the X-axis module 520 and the Y-axis module 510 to photograph the screw position. Then, the electric screwdriver module 550 moves to the screw position under the drive of the X-axis module 520, the Y-axis module 510 and the Z-axis module 540 to tighten the screw at the hinge. Finally, the pushing mechanism 200, the clamping mechanism and the electric screwdriver module 550 are reset, and the operator removes the product from the carrier 100.
[0070] Preferably, both the first gripper 320 and the second gripper 420 are provided with a MARK. After the first clamping mechanism 300 and the second clamping mechanism 400 clamp the product, the camera module 530 first takes a picture of the pre-locking MARK on the gripper. Then, after the electric screwdriver module 550 tightens the screw, the camera module 530 takes another picture of the post-locking MARK on the gripper. The pre-locking MARK and post-locking MARK are used to determine whether there is a positional deviation in the clamping mechanism, which is convenient for subsequent adjustments.
[0071] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
