[0035] In the related art, under the trend of lightweight and thin design of electronic devices, the casing of electronic devices is usually designed to be thinner, and the keycaps of the buttons are usually set on the sides of the casing, which makes manual positioning and assembly difficult. Even with relevant assembly equipment, it is difficult to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the side button assembly machine 100 provided by the utility model. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the side button assembly machine 100 in a top view, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 An enlarged structural diagram of the A area. An embodiment of the utility model provides a side button assembly machine 100, which is used to assemble the side keycaps 300 of the housing 200, wherein the housing 200 can be the housing of a smart phone or the housing of other electronic devices. The side button assembly machine 100 includes a base 10, a material picking mechanism 20, a motion mechanism 30 and a pushing and inserting mechanism 40. The base 10 is used to carry the housing 200, and the base 10 is provided with a guide groove 101. The material picking mechanism 20 is used to pick up the keycaps 300. The motion mechanism 30 is arranged on the base 10 and connected to the material picking mechanism 20.

The pushing and inserting mechanism 40 is arranged on the base 10, and the pushing and inserting mechanism 40 can extend into the guide groove 101 to push and insert the keycaps 300 to match the housing 200.

[0037] Specifically, the base 10 can be set on a support surface, which can be the ground or the surface of other equipment. The material picking mechanism 20 can pick up the keycap 300 by suction, adhesion, grabbing, etc., wherein suction is preferred to be suitable for picking up keycaps 300 of smaller size. It can be understood that the housing 200 is provided with a hole matching the keycap 300, and the guide groove 101 is arranged opposite to the hole. Under the push of the pushing mechanism 40, the keycap 300 will move along the guide groove 101, and the keycap 300 will approach the hole of the housing 200 and match the hole.

[0038] By setting up the motion mechanism 30 and the picking mechanism 20, the motion mechanism 30 can drive the picking mechanism 20 to drive the keycap 300 to move relative to the base 10, place the keycap 300 into the guide groove 101, and push the keycap 300 through the pushing mechanism 40 to match with the housing 200. The key assembly efficiency is high and precise positioning can be achieved, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The three-dimensional structural diagram of the motion mechanism 30 and the material picking mechanism 20. The material picking mechanism 20 includes a suction nozzle 21 and a rotating driving member 22. The rotating driving member 22 is connected to the motion mechanism 30, and the suction nozzle 21 is arranged on the rotating driving member 22.

Specifically, the axis around which the rotating driving member 22 drives the suction nozzle 21 to rotate is parallel to the suction direction of the suction nozzle 21. In this embodiment, the axis around which the rotating driving member 22 drives the suction nozzle 21 to rotate and the suction direction are both in the z-axis direction. By providing the rotating driving member 22, the rotating driving member 22 can drive the keycap 300 to rotate by driving the suction nozzle 21, so as to correct the relative angle of the keycap 300, so that the keycap 300 can be more easily placed in the guide groove 101, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the motion mechanism 30 includes a y-axis driving member 31, an x-axis driving member 32, and a z-axis driving member 33, which are connected in sequence, wherein the y-axis driving member 31 is installed on the base 10, and the z-axis driving member 33 is connected to the rotating driving member 22.

By setting the y-axis driving member 31, the x-axis driving member 32, and the z-axis driving member 33, the suction nozzle 21 can move along the three-axis direction, and the movement of the suction nozzle 21 is more flexible.

[0041] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4, the side key assembly machine 100 includes a first camera 51, and the first camera 51 is set on the base 10. The motion mechanism 30 can drive the rotary drive member 22 to drive the suction nozzle 21 to move relative to the base 10, so that the suction nozzle 21 is located on the optical path of the first camera 51, and the first camera 51 is used to take a picture of the keycap 300 to obtain the first coordinate of the keycap 300. The rotary drive member 22 can drive the keycap 300 to rotate according to the first coordinate to correct the relative angle of the keycap 300. Specifically, the motion mechanism 30 drives the rotary drive member 22 to drive the suction nozzle 21 to move to the top side (z-axis direction) of the prism 511, so that the keycap 300 is opposite to the prism 511, and the first camera 51 captures the image light of the keycap 300 through the prism 511. By setting the first camera 51, the first camera 51 can obtain the first coordinate of the keycap 300 so that the rotary drive member 22 can drive the keycap 300 to rotate, so as to correct the orientation (relative angle) of the keycap 300, so that the keycap 300 can be smoothly placed in the guide groove 101, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0042] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side key assembly machine 100 includes a material tray 52 and a second camera 53.

Specifically, the material tray 52 carries a plurality of keycaps 300, and the second camera 53 takes a photo of the plurality of keycaps 300 to obtain the second coordinate of the corresponding keycaps 300. The motion mechanism 30 can drive the suction nozzle 21 to pick up the corresponding keycap 300 according to the second coordinate. Such a setting is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the number of the picking mechanisms 20 is two. The motion mechanism 30 is provided with a conveyor belt 331, and the two picking mechanisms 20 are both arranged on the conveyor belt 331. Driven by the conveyor belt 331, one of the two picking mechanisms 20 descends relative to the base 10, and the other rises relative to the base 10. Specifically, the output shaft of the z-axis driving member 33 is connected to the conveyor belt 331 to drive the conveyor belt 331 to move. The two picking mechanisms 20 are respectively arranged at two sections of the conveyor belt 331 with opposite movement directions, so that while the conveyor belt 331 drives one of the picking mechanisms 20 to descend relative to the base 10, the other picking mechanism 20 is driven by the conveyor belt 331 to rise relative to the base 10. Such an arrangement facilitates driving the two picking mechanisms 20 to pick up the keycaps 300 separately, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of picking up the keycaps 300, especially when applied to scenarios with multiple keycaps 300 and different types of keycaps 300.

In other embodiments, the push-insertion block 42 can also be extended into the guide groove 101 only when the keycap 300 needs to be pushed and inserted, and can be located outside the guide groove 101 at other times. By providing the push-insertion driver 41 and the push-insertion block 42, the push-insertion driver 41 can move along the guide groove 101 to achieve the pushing and inserting of the keycap 300, and the structure is relatively simple and the precision is relatively high.
