Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, side buttons are an important component of smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Their quality and processing precision are directly related to the user experience and market competitiveness of the products. Traditional side button processing methods often use a single processing step to complete the entire processing of the side button. However, in this method, the cutting tool needs to withstand a large cutting force and friction during the processing, which can easily lead to rapid wear and deformation of the cutting tool, directly affecting the processing precision and causing deviations in the size and shape of the processed side button.

[0030] Example 3 Please refer to Figure 10 An automated finishing system for side keys, comprising: The initial module is used to complete the initial operation, placing the side key in the designated position on the machining platform and positioning and fixing it in place; After positioning and fixing are completed, the processing module performs two processing steps: preliminary processing followed by fine finishing. Once completed, it sends signals to the feeding unit and the initial module. After receiving the signal from the processing module, the unloading unit releases the positioning and fixing of the side key from the initial module, and the unloading unit adsorbs and places the side key into the collection area on one side. After completion, it sends a signal to the cleaning unit. After receiving a signal from the unloading unit, the cleaning unit uses airflow to remove debris from the processing platform. Once completed, it returns to the loading unit for recycling.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the initial module includes: The feeding unit picks up the side keys placed at the designated position and transfers them to the processing platform. After completion, it sends a signal to the positioning and flattening unit. After receiving the signal from the feeding unit, the positioning and flattening unit clamps the side key and completes the positioning, then flattens the side key to further calibrate the position, and then sends a signal to the detection unit. After receiving the signal from the positioning and flattening unit, the detection unit checks whether the side key is raised or missing. If the side key is in normal condition, it sends a signal to the preliminary processing unit; if the side key is raised or missing, it triggers a stop.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the processing module includes: After receiving the signal from the detection unit, the preliminary processing unit performs preliminary milling on the side key and continuously sprays air into the processing position during the processing to blow away the processed debris. After completion, it sends a signal to the finishing unit. The finishing unit, after receiving the signal from the preliminary processing unit, performs finishing on the side key. After milling for 4 to 8 seconds, it stops milling and blows away the debris by air jets into the milled area, then restarts to continue milling. After finishing is completed, it sends a signal to the feed unit.

[0033] The usage process of the automated precision machining equipment and system for side keys provided by this invention is as follows: When side key processing is required, the vibratory feeder 21 vibrates to transport the side key to the area below the feeding device 22. The feeding device 22 picks up the side key and transfers it to the placement plate 55. At this time, the second cylinder 52 is activated to drive the second clamping block 56 to approach the first clamping block 54, thereby clamping the side key between the second clamping block 56 and the first clamping block 54. Then, the mounting plate 31 rotates to transfer the clamping assembly 5 to the area below the adjacent flattening device 23. The flattening device 23 is activated to press the side key on the clamping assembly 5 downward to prevent the side key from tilting up. Then, the mounting plate 31 rotates again and passes through the detection device 27 to the area below the processing device 24 for processing. Start motor 95 to drive milling cutter 94 to rotate, start motor 86 to drive lead screw 84 to rotate, and move moving seat 91 accordingly, so that milling cutter 94 can process side key on placement plate 55 through protective hole 64. During the processing, start cylinder 42 to drive fixed plate 51 and components mounted on fixed plate 51 to move, start motor 33 to drive mounting plate 31 to rotate, and then cooperate with the movement of moving seat 91 to mill side key; After processing, the mounting plate 31 rotates, moving the clamping component 5 and the side key on the clamping component 5 to the lower part of the adjacent processing device 24 for fine finishing. After fine finishing, it is transferred to the lower part of the unloading device 25. At this time, the clamping component 5 releases the side key, and the unloading device 25 transfers the side key on the clamping component 5 to the collection point of the side key. Then the mounting plate 31 rotates again, rotating the clamping component 5 to the lower part of the cleaning device 26. The cleaning device 26 cleans the debris on the clamping component 5 by spraying air. After cleaning, the mounting plate 31 rotates, driving the clamping component 5 back to the lower part of the loading device 22.
