[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, when it is necessary to absorb the keycap, the operator first places the integrally injection-molded keycap between the multiple positioning columns, and then drives the connecting block to move by the second loading robot, and the connecting block drives the multiple plug-in tubes and the cutter to move. When the multiple plug-in tubes move to just above the full-page keycaps and the multiple plug-in tubes correspond to the multiple keycaps one by one, the second loading robot drives the connecting block to move vertically downward, and the connecting block drives the plug-in tube and the cutter to move. When the cutter abuts against the water outlet, the connecting block continues to be driven to move vertically downward, and the cutter is driven to move by the driving assembly at the same time, so that the water outlet can be cut conveniently. When the cutting is completed, the plug-in tube abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the keycap, and then the air pump is started, and the air pump discharges the air in the chest cavity and the plug-in tube, so that the keycap can be adsorbed under the action of atmospheric pressure, and then the keycap is moved to the specified position by the second loading robot. The above operation completes the cutting of the water outlet while adsorbing the keycap, which can facilitate improving work efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a first rack, a first sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the connecting block, the first rack is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the first sliding groove, the first rack can abut against one of the positioning columns, a clearance groove is provided on the inner wall of the first sliding groove, a first spur gear is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the clearance groove, the first spur gear cooperates with the first rack, a second sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the clearance groove, a second rack is slidably provided on the inner wall of the second sliding groove, the second rack cooperates with the spur gear, one end of the second rack is fixedly connected to the cutter, and a reset member for resetting the second rack is provided on the inner wall of the second sliding groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the second loading robot drives the cutter to abut against the water outlet, the first rack abuts against the positioning column and continues to drive the connecting block to move, and the connecting block drives the plug-in tube to move. At this time, the first rack moves vertically upward relative to the connecting block, and the first rack drives the spur gear to rotate, and the spur gear drives the second rack to move vertically downward, and at the same time, the second rack is driven by the connecting block to move vertically downward, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter to cut the water outlet. When the plug-in tube abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the key cap, the water outlet has been cut. Then, the second loading robot drives the connecting block to move vertically upward, the connecting block drives the plug-in tube to move, the plug-in tube drives the keycap to move, and then the reset member drives the second rack to reset, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter to reset.

[0011] Preferably, the reset member comprises a spring, the spring is sleeved on the outer side wall of the second rack, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second rack, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cutter needs to be driven to reset, the spring is in a stretched state, and when the first rack is separated from the positioning column, the second rack moves vertically upward under the elastic force of the spring, thereby facilitating the drive of the cutter to reset.

[0013] Preferably, the collecting member comprises a baffle, the baffle is arranged on the base, a gap is arranged between the baffle and the side wall of the base, a fan is installed on the base, and a waste box is arranged on the base.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when waste needs to be collected, the nozzle cutting is completed and then the fan is started.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cutter completes cutting the water outlet, the cut waste may be stuck between the two cutters close to each other. When the spring drives the cutter to move vertically upward, the abutment block is inserted between the two cutters close to each other. When the abutment block abuts against the waste, the cutter continues to be driven to move. When the cutter is reset, the abutment block is separated from the inner wall of the cutter, thereby facilitating the separation of the waste from the inner wall of the cutter.

[0017] Preferably, the side wall of the plug-in tube is provided with an inclined surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the connecting block drives the plug-in tube to move vertically downward, the setting of the inclined surface can facilitate the plug-in tube to be plugged into the inner wall of the key cap.

[0019] Preferably, a rubber pad is sleeved and fixed on the outer side wall of the plug-in tube.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. When it is necessary to absorb the keycap, the operator first places the integrally injection-molded keycap between the multiple positioning columns, and then drives the connecting block to move through the second feeding robot, and the connecting block drives the multiple plug-in tubes and the cutter to move. When the multiple plug-in tubes move to the top of the full-page keycap and the multiple plug-in tubes correspond to the multiple keycaps one by one, the second feeding robot drives the connecting block to move vertically downward, and the connecting block drives the plug-in tube and the cutter to move. When the cutter abuts against the water outlet, the connecting block continues to be driven to move vertically downward, and the cutter is driven to move by the driving assembly at the same time, so that the water outlet can be cut conveniently. When the cutting is completed, the plug-in tube abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the keycap, and then the air pump is started, and the air pump discharges the air in the chest cavity and the plug-in tube, so that the keycap can be adsorbed under the action of atmospheric pressure, and then the keycap is moved to the specified position by the second feeding robot. The above operation completes the cutting of the water outlet while adsorbing the keycap, so that it is convenient to improve work efficiency.

[0025] 2. When the second feeding robot drives the cutter to abut against the water outlet, the first rack abuts against the positioning column, and continues to drive the connecting block to move, and the connecting block drives the plug-in tube to move. At this time, the first rack moves vertically upward relative to the connecting block, and the first rack drives the spur gear to rotate, and the spur gear drives the second rack to move vertically downward. At the same time, the second rack is driven by the connecting block to move vertically downward, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter to cut the water outlet. When the plug-in tube abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the key cap, the water outlet has been cut. Then, the second feeding robot drives the connecting block to move vertically upward, the connecting block drives the plug-in tube to move, the plug-in tube drives the key cap to move, and then the reset member drives the second rack to reset, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter to reset.

[0026] 3. After the cutter has finished cutting the water outlet, the cut waste may be stuck between the two cutters close to each other.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The utility model discloses a full-plate keycap molding and installation device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a second loading robot 1 and a base 11. Four positioning columns 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 11. The positioning columns 12 are square. The bottom of the second loading robot 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 is square. An air pump 14 is installed on the side wall of the connecting block 13 by bolts.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a chest cavity 15 is opened on the connecting block 13, and the chest cavity 15 has a square cross-section and extends in the vertical direction. The air pump 14 is connected to the chest cavity 15. A plurality of plug-in tubes 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 13. The cross-section of the plug-in tubes 16 is a circular shape and is arranged in the vertical direction. The plug-in tubes 16 are connected to the chest cavity 15, and the plug-in tubes 16 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of key caps. The end of the plug-in tube 16 close to the base 11 can be plugged into the inner wall of the key cap. A cutter 17 for cutting the water outlet is slidably arranged in the vertical direction on the connecting block 13, and a collecting member 4 for collecting waste after the water outlet is cut off is arranged on the base 11. Two driving components 2 for driving the cutter 17 to move in the vertical direction are arranged opposite to each other on the connecting block 13.

[0036] When it is necessary to absorb the keycap, the operator first places the integrally-injected keycap between the plurality of positioning columns 12, and then drives the connecting block 13 to move through the second feeding robot 1, and the connecting block 13 drives the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 and the cutter 17 to move. When the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 move to the top of the full-page keycap and the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 correspond to the plurality of keycaps one by one, the second feeding robot 1 drives the connecting block 13 to move vertically downward, and the connecting block 13 drives the plug-in tube 16 and the cutter 17 to move. When the cutter 17 abuts against the sprue, the cutting operation continues. The connecting block 13 is driven to move vertically downward, and the cutter 17 is driven to move through the driving assembly 2, so that the sprue can be cut easily. When the cutting is completed, the plug-in tube 16 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the keycap, and then the air pump 14 is started. The air pump 14 discharges the air in the chest cavity 15 and the plug-in tube 16, so that the keycap can be adsorbed under the action of atmospheric pressure, and then the keycap is moved to the specified position through the second loading robot 1. The above operation completes the cutting of the sprue while adsorbing the keycap, so as to improve work efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the driving assembly 2 includes a first rack 21, which is arranged in the vertical direction. A first sliding groove 22 is provided on the side wall of the connecting block 13 close to the base 11. The cross section of the first sliding groove 22 is square and extends in the vertical direction. The first rack 21 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 22 in the vertical direction. One end of the first rack 21 close to the base 11 can abut against one of the positioning columns 12. A yielding groove 23 is provided on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 22. The cross section of the yielding groove 23 is square and extends in the vertical direction. A first spur gear 24 is rotatably provided on the inner wall through a bearing, and the first spur gear 24 cooperates with the first rack 21. A second sliding groove 25 is provided on the inner wall of the clearance groove 23 away from the first rack 21. The cross-section of the second sliding groove 25 is square and extends in the vertical direction. A second rack 26 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the second sliding groove 25 in the vertical direction. The second rack 26 cooperates with the spur gear 24. One end of the second rack 26 close to the base 11 is welded to the cutter 17, and a reset member 3 for resetting the second rack 26 is provided on the inner wall of the second sliding groove 25.

[0038] When the second feeding robot 1 drives the cutter 17 to abut against the water outlet, the first rack 21 abuts against the positioning column 12, and continues to drive the connecting block 13 to move, and the connecting block 13 drives the plug-in tube 16 to move. At this time, the first rack 21 moves vertically upward relative to the connecting block 13, and the first rack 21 drives the spur gear 24 to rotate, and the spur gear 24 drives the second rack 26 to move vertically downward. At the same time, the second rack 26 is driven by the connecting block 13 to move vertically downward, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter 17 to cut the water outlet. When the plug-in tube 16 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the key cap, the water outlet has been cut. Then, the second feeding robot 1 drives the connecting block 13 to move vertically upward, the connecting block 13 drives the plug-in tube 16 to move, and the plug-in tube 16 drives the key cap to move, and then the reset member 3 drives the second rack 26 to reset, so that it is convenient to drive the cutter 17 to reset.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reset member 3 includes a spring 31, which is arranged in the vertical direction. The spring 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second rack 26, one end of the spring 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second rack 26, and the other end of the spring 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove 25.

[0040] When the cutter 17 needs to be driven to reset, the spring 31 is in a stretched state. When the first rack 21 is separated from the positioning column 12, the second rack 26 moves vertically upward under the elastic force of the spring 31, thereby facilitating the drive of the cutter 17 to reset.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the collecting member 4 includes a baffle 41, which is composed of three square plates. The baffle 41 is arranged on the base 11, and a gap is arranged between the baffle 41 and the side wall of the base 11. A fan 42 is installed on the base 11 by bolts. A waste box 43 is arranged at the bottom of the base 11. The waste box 43 is square, and the bottom of the waste box 43 is in contact with the ground.

[0042] When the waste needs to be collected, the nozzle cutting is completed, and then the fan 42 is started. The fan 42 blows the waste to abut against the baffle 41, and then the waste falls from the gap into the waste box 43 under the action of its own gravity, so that the waste can be easily collected.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of abutment blocks 44 are welded to the side wall of the connection block 13 close to the base 11 . The abutment blocks 44 are square in shape and are arranged corresponding to the inner wall of the cutter 17 . The abutment blocks 44 can be plugged into the inner wall of the cutter 17 .

[0044] When the cutter 17 completes cutting the water outlet, the cut waste may be stuck between the two cutters 17 that are close to each other. When the spring 31 drives the cutter 17 to move vertically upward, the abutment block 44 is inserted between the two cutters 17 that are close to each other. When the abutment block 44 abuts against the waste, it continues to drive the cutter 17 to move. When the cutter 17 is reset, the abutment block 44 is separated from the inner wall of the cutter 17, thereby facilitating the separation of the waste from the inner wall of the cutter 17.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the plug-in tube 16 close to the base 11 is provided with an inclined surface 45, and the outer wall of the plug-in tube 16 is sleeved and fixed with a rubber pad 46, and the cross section of the rubber pad 46 is a circular shape and is arranged in the vertical direction. When the connecting block 13 drives the plug-in tube 16 to move vertically downward, the setting of the inclined surface 45 can facilitate the plug-in tube 16 to be plugged into the inner wall of the keycap; when the air pump 14 extracts the gas in the plug-in tube 16, the setting of the rubber pad 46 can facilitate the reduction of the possibility of gas entering the inner wall of the plug-in tube 16, so that the plug-in tube 16 can facilitate the adsorption of the keycap under the action of atmospheric pressure.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a slanted plate 47 is welded to the side wall of the baffle 41 away from the connecting block 13. The slanted plate 47 is composed of two square plates and a trapezoidal plate, and the slanted plate 47 is inclined toward the inner wall of the waste box 43. When the fan 42 blows the waste to abut against the baffle 41, the slanted plate 47 can reduce the possibility of the waste flying, so that the waste can be collected into the waste box 43.

[0047] The implementation principle of a full-plate keycap molding and installation device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0048] When it is necessary to absorb the keycap, the operator first places the integrally-injected keycap between the plurality of positioning columns 12, and then drives the connecting block 13 to move through the second feeding robot 1, and the connecting block 13 drives the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 and the cutter 17 to move. When the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 move to the top of the full-page keycap and the plurality of plug-in tubes 16 correspond to the plurality of keycaps one by one, the second feeding robot 1 drives the connecting block 13 to move vertically downward, and the connecting block 13 drives the plug-in tube 16 and the cutter 17 to move. When the cutter 17 abuts against the sprue, the cutting operation continues. The connecting block 13 is driven to move vertically downward, and the cutter 17 is driven to move through the driving assembly 2, so that the sprue can be cut easily. When the cutting is completed, the plug-in tube 16 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the keycap, and then the air pump 14 is started. The air pump 14 discharges the air in the chest cavity 15 and the plug-in tube 16, so that the keycap can be adsorbed under the action of atmospheric pressure, and then the keycap is moved to the specified position through the second loading robot 1. The above operation completes the cutting of the sprue while adsorbing the keycap, so as to improve work efficiency.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
