Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elasticity detection equipment, in particular to an automatic detection equipment for deformation and elasticity of a conductive spring sheet on a workpiece. Background Art

[0002] Conductive springs are assembled on mechanical switches such as triggers and buttons or similar workpieces. Such conductive springs realize the conduction of the circuit through the operation of the mechanical structure, so the quality of its conductive contact performance is particularly important. After processing such workpieces in the prior art, the workpieces need to be placed on special testing equipment to test the deformation and elasticity of the conductive springs, so as to ensure that the conductive springs equipped on the produced workpieces have sufficient physical properties;

[0003] However, the existing elasticity detection equipment basically determines the physical properties of the conductive spring piece by using a pressure sensor to press down the conductive spring piece to generate a reaction force and a pressing distance. However, in the case where there is more than one conductive spring piece on some workpieces, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is impossible to detect the physical properties of a single conductive spring at a time, and pressing down multiple conductive springs can only detect their average physical properties. If there is a conductive spring that is unqualified, it cannot be identified. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The lifting mechanism is erected above the workpiece positioning fixture. The lifting mechanism is power-connected to a force gauge docked to the workpiece positioning fixture, and the lifting mechanism is arranged to avoid air so that the second light source assembly and the camera can act on the workpiece positioning fixture.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The image of the conductive spring piece after being pressed down and deformed is collected by the camera for analysis. When there are two or more conductive spring pieces on the workpiece, when the force gauge presses down all the conductive spring pieces, if the deformation of one of the conductive spring pieces does not fall within the preset deformation range, the conductive spring piece is also considered unqualified.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-7 In an embodiment of the utility model, a deformation and elastic force automatic detection device for a conductive spring sheet on a workpiece includes a substrate 10, on which a lifting mechanism 20, a first light source assembly 30, a second light source assembly 40, a camera 50 and a workpiece positioning fixture 60 are arranged. The first light source assembly 30, the workpiece positioning fixture 60, the second light source assembly 40 and the camera 50 are arranged in sequence from front to back. The lifting mechanism 20 is erected above the workpiece positioning fixture 60.

The lifting mechanism 20 is arranged in an air-proof manner so that the second light source assembly 40 and the camera 50 can act on the workpiece positioning fixture 60. The second light source assembly 40 is a ring structure, and the camera 50 acts on the workpiece positioning fixture 60 along the middle of the second light source assembly 40.

[0028] In the above technical solution, the deformation analysis of the conductive spring piece 1 on the workpiece 2 is performed by using a camera 50. During the inspection, the workpiece 2 is positioned and placed on the workpiece positioning fixture 60, so that the conductive spring piece 1 is kept facing upward, and then the force gauge 21 is driven to press the conductive spring piece 1 downward with a certain force, and the deformation degree of the conductive spring piece 1 is collected by the camera 50.
