Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of switch testing, and in particular to a rocker switch testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic switches are an indispensable part of modern electronic devices, used to control parameters such as circuit on / off, direction, and power. Among them, rocker switches are a common type of electronic switch, characterized by their simple structure, ease of operation and installation, and are widely used in home appliances, automobiles, aerospace, industrial control, and other fields.

[0003] A rocker switch, also known as a rocker plate switch, is a mechanical switch with a very simple working principle. It mainly consists of a rocker plate, contacts, and a housing. The rocker plate is the main body of the switch; one end is connected to the contacts, and the other end is operated by the user through the housing. When the user moves the rocker plate up or down, the contacts open or close accordingly, thus switching the circuit on or off.

[0004] In the production line of rocker switches, contact resistance testing is an essential step after assembly. As the manufacturing industry transforms towards high automation, intelligence, and information technology, the contact resistance testing process is gradually moving away from traditional manual inspection and towards automated testing.

[0005] However, existing automated testing of rocker switches mostly adopts a rotary testing method. A robotic arm places the rocker switches to be tested one by one into the clamps of a rotating table, which then sends them to the testing station. The robotic arm then transports the tested rocker switches to the next process.

[0006] Therefore, existing automated testing devices for rocker switches still suffer from insufficient efficiency and are prone to causing problems with the smooth connection of production processes on the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a boat-shaped switch testing machine, which can improve testing efficiency and thus ensure the smooth connection of the production process.

Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0062] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 17 This application will be described in further detail.

[0063] refer to Figures 1 to 17 The diagram shows a rocker switch testing machine, which is used to test a rocker switch 90. The rocker switch testing machine includes a feeding assembly 10, a positioning assembly 20, a conveying assembly 30, a testing assembly 40, a pushing assembly 50, a discharging assembly 60, a control assembly, a recycling assembly 70, and a platform assembly 80.

[0064] Platform component 80 may include a fixed platform 81, on which a plane 811 is provided.

[0065] The recycling component 70 may include a recycling box 71, which recycles defective rocker switches 90.

[0066] The positioning component 20 is connected to the feeding component 10, which is used to transport the rocker switches 90 to be tested. The positioning component 20 is used to position multiple rocker switches 90 to be tested. The conveying component 30 is used to convey the rocker switches 90 to be tested to the testing component 40, which tests the rocker switches 90. The conveying component 30 then conveys the failed rocker switches 90 from the testing component 40 to the recycling box 71.

[0067] The unloading component 60 is positioned corresponding to the testing component 40, thereby the pushing component 50 pushes the tested rocker switch 90 to the unloading component 60; the unloading component 60 then transports the tested rocker switch 90 to the next process; the control component connects to the loading component 10, positioning component 20, conveying component 30, testing component 40, pushing component 50, and unloading component 60, and controls these components. The control component also receives the test results of the testing component 40 for the rocker switch 90.

[0068] The feeding assembly 10 may include a feeding guide rail 11, a feeding drive component 12, a feeding drive wheel 13, a feeding tension wheel 14, a feeding auxiliary wheel 15, a feeding belt, a feeding base 16, a feeding auxiliary fixing component 17, a feeding railing 18, and a feeding rod fixing component 19.

[0069] A feeding base 16 is mounted on plane 811. A feeding drive component 12, a feeding tension wheel 14, and a feeding guide rail 11 are mounted on the feeding base 16. The feeding drive component 12 is connected to the feeding drive wheel 13. A feeding auxiliary wheel 15 is mounted on a feeding auxiliary fixing component 17, which is connected to the feeding guide rail 11. A feeding rod fixing component 19 is mounted on the feeding guide rail 11 and is connected to the feeding rail 18. A feeding belt surrounds the feeding guide rail 11, the feeding drive wheel 13, the feeding tension wheel 14, and the feeding auxiliary wheel 15.

[0070] The feeding drive unit 12 drives the feeding drive wheel 13 to rotate. Driven by the feeding drive wheel 13, the feeding belt moves the rocker switch 90 on the feeding guide rail 11. The feeding rail 18 prevents the rocker switch 90 from disengaging during movement.

[0071] The feeding assembly 60 may include a feeding track, a feeding drive component 62, a feeding drive wheel 63, a feeding tension wheel 64, a feeding auxiliary wheel 65, a feeding belt, a feeding base 66, a feeding auxiliary fixing component 67, a feeding railing 68, and a feeding rod fixing component 69.

[0072] A feeding base 66 is mounted on plane 811. A feeding drive component 62, a feeding tension wheel 64, and a feeding guide rail 61 are mounted on the feeding base 66. The feeding drive component 62 is connected to the feeding drive wheel 63. A feeding auxiliary wheel 65 is mounted on a feeding auxiliary fixing component 67, which is connected to the feeding guide rail 61. A feeding rod fixing component 69 is mounted on the feeding guide rail 61 and is connected to the feeding rail 68. A feeding belt surrounds the feeding guide rail 61, the feeding drive wheel 63, the feeding tension wheel 64, and the feeding auxiliary wheel 65.

[0073] The feeding drive unit 62 drives the feeding drive wheel 63 to rotate, and the feeding belt, driven by the feeding drive wheel 63, moves the rocker switch 90 on the feeding guide rail 61. The feeding rail 68 prevents the rocker switch 90 from disengaging during movement.

[0074] The positioning assembly 20 may include a positioning base 21, multiple positioning drive units 22, multiple positioning actuators 23, a head stop 24, a tail stop 25, a tail stop drive unit 26, and a tail stop base 27. The loading guide rail 11 has a positioning area 91, which is the area between the head stop 24 and the positioning actuator 23 closest to the tail stop 25. The positioning assembly 20 is used to position the rocker switch 90 in the positioning area 91 so that the position of the rocker switch 90 after positioning corresponds one-to-one with the position on the test assembly 40 where the rocker switch 90 is placed in the X-axis direction.

[0075] The positioning base 21 is mounted on the plane 811, the positioning drive unit 22 and the positioning execution unit 23 are mounted on the positioning base 21, and the positioning drive unit 22 is connected to the positioning execution unit 23; the head blocking member 24 is mounted on the feeding guide rail 11.

[0076] The head stopper 24 positions the first rocker switch 90 among a plurality of rocker switches 90 to be tested. The positioning drive unit 22 drives the positioning execution unit 23 to move, blocking the movement of the remaining rocker switches 90 among the plurality of rocker switches 90 to be tested, thus completing the positioning.

[0077] The tail stop base 27 is connected to the feeding guide rail 11. The tail stop drive 26 is mounted on the tail stop base 27. The tail stop 25 is connected to the tail stop drive 26. The tail stop drive 26 drives the tail stop 25 to move, blocking the movement of the boat-shaped switch 90 to be tested.

[0078] The positioning execution unit 23 may include a positioning execution guide rail 231, a positioning execution guide block 232, a positioning execution adapter block 233, and a positioning barrier bar 234.

[0079] The positioning drive unit 22 may include a positioning drive component 221 and a positioning drive telescopic rod 222.

[0080] The positioning drive component 221 is connected to the positioning drive telescopic rod 222, and the positioning drive telescopic rod 222 is connected to the positioning execution adapter block 233. The positioning execution guide rail 231 is installed on the positioning fixed base, the positioning execution guide block 232 is connected to the positioning execution guide rail 231, and the positioning execution adapter block 233 is connected to the positioning execution guide block 232. The positioning stop bar 234 is connected to the positioning execution adapter block 233.

[0081] The positioning drive unit 221 drives the positioning drive telescopic rod 222 to extend and retract, which in turn moves the positioning execution transition block 233, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the positioning stop rod 234. When the positioning execution transition block 233 moves, it also moves the positioning execution guide block 232 on the positioning execution guide rail 231. Through the cooperation between the positioning execution guide block 232 and the positioning execution guide rail 231, the movement direction of the positioning stop rod 234 is guided and restricted.

[0082] When the positioning barrier 234 is extended, it can prevent the rocker switch 90 from moving on the loading guide rail 11. When the positioning barrier 234 is retracted, the movement of the rocker switch 90 on the loading guide rail 11 is not affected.

[0083] At least one of the multiple positioning actuators 23 works in conjunction with the tail stopper 25 to control the spacing between the multiple boat-shaped switches 90 to be tested.

[0084] Specifically, there can be eight positioning drive units 22 and eight positioning execution units 23. Among them, the positioning execution unit 23 closest to the tail stop 25 works in conjunction with the tail stop 25 to control the spacing between multiple boat-shaped switches 90 to be tested. The remaining seven positioning execution units 23, together with the head stop 24, position the eight boat-shaped switches 90 to be tested.

[0085] Its working process is as follows:

[0086] In this application, the positioning component 20 can position eight rocker switches 90.

[0087] Initially, the rocker switch 90 has not entered the positioning area 91 of the loading guide rail 11. At this time, the tail stopper 25 and all positioning stoppers 234 are retracted, i.e., they are not performing any blocking work. When the first rocker switch 90 moves on the loading guide rail 11 and enters the positioning area 91, the positioning stopper 234 of the positioning actuator 23 closest to the tail stopper 25 extends to block the subsequent rocker switches 90 from entering the positioning area 91; the tail stopper 25 also extends under the drive of the tail stopper drive 26 to block the movement of the rocker switch 90 to be tested; Figure 17As shown, since the boat-shaped switches 90 that are in contact with each other still have a certain gap, the tail blocking member 25 can enter the gap and perform the blocking work.

[0088] After the first test rocker switch 90 moves a predetermined distance or moves to the head stop 24 and is blocked by the head stop 24, the first positioning stop bar 234 near the head stop 24 extends, while the positioning stop bar 234 of the positioning actuator 23 closest to the tail stop 25 retracts, so that the second rocker switch 90 located between the tail stop 25 and the positioning stop bar 234 closest to the tail stop 25 enters the positioning area 91. After the second rocker switch 90 enters the positioning area 91, the positioning stop bar 234 closest to the tail stop 25 extends, and the tail stop 25 retracts, so that the third rocker switch 90 enters between the tail stop 25 and the positioning stop bar 234 closest to the tail stop 25 and is blocked by the positioning stop bar 234. When the fourth rocker switch 90 moves and touches the third rocker switch 90, the tail stop 25 extends to block the fourth rocker switch 90. When the second rocker switch 90 moves a predetermined distance or touches the first positioning stop bar 234 near the head stop 24, the second positioning stop bar 234 near the head stop 24 extends, while the positioning stop bar 234 closest to the positioning actuator 23 of the tail stop 25 retracts, allowing the third rocker switch 90 located between the tail stop 25 and the positioning stop bar 234 closest to the tail stop 25 to enter the positioning area 91. By repeating the above process until the eighth rocker switch 90 enters the positioning area 91 and is blocked by the seventh positioning stop bar 234 from the head stop 24, the positioning of the eight rocker switches 90 within the positioning area 91 of the feeding guide rail 11 is achieved.

[0089] Understandably, through the above-mentioned coordinated operation, the seven positioning actuators 23 and the head stopper 24 can sequentially and smoothly position the eight boat-shaped switches 90 to be tested; this improves the stability of the positioning actuators 23 when performing positioning work and reduces the probability of erroneous actions and errors.

[0090] It is understandable that after the rocker switch 90 to be tested is positioned on the loading assembly 10 by the positioning assembly 20, its position in the loading assembly 10 corresponds on the X-axis to the position on the test assembly 40 used to place the rocker switch for testing. For example, if... Figure 10As shown, taking the first rocker switch 90 near the head blocker 24 as an example, the position of the first rocker switch 90 after positioning corresponds to the position of the first test point of the test assembly 40 (i.e., the position used to place the first rocker switch 90) in the X-axis direction, that is, the Y-axis coordinates are the same. By analogy, the positions of the eight rocker switches 90 after positioning in the positioning area 91 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the eight test points on the test assembly 40.

[0091] The conveying assembly 30 moves in the Z and X axis directions;

[0092] The conveying assembly 30 may include an X-axis moving part 31, a Z-axis moving part 32, and a conveying execution part 33. The X-axis moving part 31 may include an X-axis drive 311, an X-axis guide rail 312, and an X-axis base 313. The Z-axis moving part 32 may include a Z-axis base 321, a Z-axis guide rod 322, a Z-axis guide bearing 323, a Z-axis drive 324, and a Z-axis adapter block 325. The conveying execution part 33 may include a conveying fixed base 331 and multiple clamping arms 332.

[0093] X-axis base 313 is mounted on plane 811. X-axis drive component 311 and X-axis guide rail 312 are mounted on X-axis base 313. Z-axis base 321 is connected to X-axis drive component 311 and X-axis guide rail 312. Z-axis drive component 324 is mounted on Z-axis base 321. Z-axis guide bearing 323 is mounted on Z-axis base 321. Z-axis guide rod 322 passes through Z-axis guide bearing 323. Z-axis adapter block 325 is connected to Z-axis drive component 324 and Z-axis guide rod 322. Transport and fixing base 331 is connected to Z-axis adapter block 325.

[0094] Multiple clamping arms 332 are mounted on the transport and fixing base 331, and the mounting positions of the multiple clamping arms 332 correspond to the positions of the multiple rocker switches 90 to be tested in the Y-axis direction after positioning.

[0095] The clamping arm component 332 may include a clamping arm driver 3321, a first clamping arm 3322, and a second clamping arm 3323. The clamping arm driver 3321 is mounted on the transport fixing base 331, and the first clamping arm 3322 and the second clamping arm 3323 are connected to the clamping arm driver 3321. The clamping arm driver 3321 drives the first clamping arm 3322 and the second clamping arm 3323 to move away from or closer to each other.

[0096] Specifically, the number of clamping arm components 332 can be 8.

[0097] Understandably, this application positions the rocker switch 90 to be tested using the positioning component 20, ensuring that the position of the rocker switch 90 after positioning corresponds to the position of the test component 40 used to place the rocker switch for testing in the X-axis direction. Thus, the transport component 30 only needs to transport the rocker switch 90 from the positioning area 91 to the test component 40 along the X-axis direction, eliminating the need for the transport component 30 to add an additional Y-axis motion mechanism and Y-axis positioning and correction structure. This effectively reduces the hardware cost of the transport component 30, reduces assembly complexity, simplifies the motion control process of the transport component 30, facilitates the debugging of the transport component 30, and improves the reliability and stability of the transport component 30.

[0098] The test assembly 40 may include a test base 41, a test drive component 42, a test guide rail 43, a test guide bearing 44, a test guide rod 45, a test fixed base 46, and multiple electrical test components 47. The test guide rail 43 is provided with multiple test holes 431.

[0099] Test base 41 is mounted on plane 811. Test drive component 42, test guide rail 43, and test guide bearing 44 are mounted on test base 41. Test drive component 42 is connected to test fixed base 46. Test guide rod 45 passes through test guide bearing 44 and is connected to test fixed base 46. Electrical test component 47 is mounted on test fixed base 46.

[0100] The test drive unit 42 pushes the test fixed base 46 to move, so that the electrical test piece 47 passes through the test hole 431 and contacts the rocker switch 90 to be tested, and the electrical test piece 47 performs contact resistance testing.

[0101] Test holes 431 are arranged along the Y-axis on test rail 43. The position of test holes 431 on test rail 43 is the same as the position of the rocker switch 90 to be tested on test assembly 40. Therefore, the rocker switch 90 to be tested is also arranged along the Y-axis on test rail 43.

[0102] Specifically, there can be 8 electrical test pieces 47.

[0103] Understandably, by setting up multiple electrical test pieces 47, multiple rocker switches 90 can be tested simultaneously, improving testing efficiency and ensuring sufficient redundancy in the production process of the production line.

[0104] The material pushing assembly 50 may include a material pushing base 51, a material pushing drive 52, a material pushing component 53, a material pushing guide block, and a material pushing guide rail 55.

[0105] The pusher base 51 is mounted on the test base 41. The pusher drive 52 is mounted on the pusher base 51. The pusher drive 52 is connected to the pusher 53, the pusher guide block is connected to the pusher 53, the pusher guide block is connected to the pusher guide rail 55, and the pusher guide rail 55 is connected to the test rail 43.

[0106] The pusher drive 52 pushes the pusher 53 to move, and the movement of the pusher 53 pushes the boat-shaped switch 90 on the test guide rail 43, which has completed the test, to enter the unloading guide rail 61.

[0107] This application improves testing efficiency by arranging multiple rocker switches 90 along the Y-axis on the test guide rail 43 for simultaneous testing, and provides redundancy for smooth production process of the rocker switch 90 production line. Furthermore, the positioning component 20 positions the rocker switch 90 to be tested, ensuring that its position corresponds in the X-axis direction to the position on the test component 40 used to place and test the rocker switch. This eliminates the need for an additional Y-axis motion mechanism and Y-axis positioning and correction structure in the transport component 30, effectively reducing the hardware cost and assembly complexity of the transport component 30, simplifying the motion control process and facilitating its debugging, while also improving its reliability and stability. By having the positioning actuator 23, which is closest to the tail stopper 25, work in conjunction with the tail stopper 25, the seven positioning actuators 23 and the head stopper 24 can sequentially and smoothly position the eight boat-shaped switches 90 to be tested. This improves the stability of the positioning actuators 23 when performing positioning work and reduces the probability of erroneous actions and errors.

[0108] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes 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 scope of patent protection of this application.
