DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A notebook keycap pressing machine comprises a frame 1, wherein the frame 1 is slidably connected to a pair of fixed molds 3 on a table through a driving device 2, a cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and a pressing device 5 is arranged at the shaft end of the cylinder 4 above the fixed mold 3;

[0023] The fixed mold 3 includes a base 31 and a mold seat 32, and the base 31 and the mold seat 32 are fastened by a fixing assembly 6. A floating member 7 is provided on the top of the frame 1, and the floating member 7 is used to eject the keyboard and the keycap plate.

[0024] It should be supplemented that the driving device 2 includes a motor and a slide rail, a pair of the slide rails are fixed on the table of the frame 1, and the motor is fixed between the slide rails, the fixed mold 3 is provided with a pair of, respectively used to fix the keyboard and the keycap plate, the fixed mold 3 is slidably connected to the slide rails, the shaft end of the motor is fixedly connected to a screw rod, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to the fixed mold 3;

[0025] Of course, in order to better adapt to the operation of pressing different keyboards, the driving device 2 can also use the XY moving platform in the prior art to move the fixed mold 3;

[0026] In addition, in the prior art, the keycaps are usually fixed in a specific fixed plate to facilitate adsorption and pressing thereof. The pressing device 5 includes a pressing plate, which is fixedly connected to the axial end of the cylinder 4 and has a suction cup corresponding to the keycap at the bottom. The suction cup is connected to an external air compressor, and after the suction cup adsorbs the keycap, the keycap is pressed onto the keyboard by moving the fixed mold 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 6 includes a positioning column 61, and the positioning column 61 is fixed at the top of the base 31 at three corners. The mold base 32 is provided with a positioning hole 62 matching the positioning column 61, and it is also provided with a receiving groove 63, and the receiving groove 63 is located at the center point and has an avoidance groove 64 running through it.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a support rod 65 that is slidably connected to the base 31. The bottom of the support rod 65 is threadedly connected to a fixing nut 651 and a return spring 652 is sleeved on the periphery. The two ends of the return spring 652 respectively contact the fixing nut 651 and the side of the base 31.

[0029] In more detail, the support rod 65 is arranged in the accommodating groove 63 through the avoidance groove 64, and a limit pin 66 is provided on the top thereof. The limit pin 66 is rotatably connected to the support rod 65, and one end thereof is provided with a through groove for avoiding the support rod 65, and both ends of the limit pin 66 abut against the bottom surface of the accommodating groove 63.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the base 31 and the mold base 32 are both rectangular structures and have four side surfaces, that is, the positioning column 61 corresponds to the positioning hole 62, and the receiving groove 63 corresponds to the support rod 65;

[0031] Specifically, by tightening the fixing nut 651 to make it press against the return spring 652, the return spring 652 is pressed in the opposite direction of the extrusion, and then the limit pin 66 is pressed against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 63, so as to prevent the support rod 65 from moving with the mold seat 32 when the mold seat 32 is moved, and also to prevent the base 31 from being separated from the mold seat 32 due to accidental contact;

[0032] In specific operations, the fixing nut 651 is first unlocked to provide the support rod 65 with a movable range, and then the limit pin 66 is rotated. The limit pin 66 uses the through groove to avoid the support rod 65 and conflicts with the top surface of the base 31. The mold seat 32 is freed from the conflict of the limit pin 66 through the avoidance groove 64.

[0033] In general, the floating member 7 includes a wedge block 71 and a floating plate 72. The wedge block 71 is detachably connected to the table top of the frame 1. The floating plate 72 is slidably connected to the base 31 and the mold base 32 through a slide groove. The floating plate 72 is a T-shaped structure, and a clamping plate 74 is inserted at the bottom thereof through a fixing member 73.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the floating plate 72 and the clamping plate 74 are slidably connected via a guide groove, the fixing member 73 is a positioning glass bead, and is disposed at one end of the guide groove, and the clamping plate 74 can contact the bottom of the base 31 and engage with the positioning glass bead.

[0035] Finally, the bottom of the clamping plate 74 extends downward to form a supporting portion 741 , and the supporting portion 741 slides against the wedge block 71 .

[0036] Specifically, in order to better adapt the fixed mold 3 with different mold slots, the wedge block 71 is fixed to the table top of the frame 1 by locking bolts, wherein the fixed mold 3 moves to a certain position, the abutment portion 741 slides against the floating plate 72, and then as the moving distance increases, the floating plate 72 gradually rises to push the keyboard or keycap plate out of the mold.

[0037] Working method: When working, the mold seat 32 and the base 31 are initially fixed by plugging the positioning column 61 into the positioning hole 62, and then the limiting pin 66 is pulled upward and rotated so that its two ends abut against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 63 under the support of the return spring 652, and then the fixing nut 651 is tightened, and the limiting pin 66 abuts against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 63 by pressing the return spring 652, so as to cooperate with the positioning column 61 to fix the mold seat 32;

[0038] Then, the keyboard and the keycap plate are placed in a pair of mold seats 32 respectively, and the keycap plate is moved to the bottom of the pressing device 5 under the drive of the motor, and the keycap is adsorbed by the suction cup, and then the keyboard is moved to the bottom of the pressing device 5 for pressing;

[0039] After the pressing is completed, the fixed mold 3 moves to a certain position, the abutting portion 741 slides against the floating plate 72, and then as the moving distance increases, the floating plate 72 gradually rises to push the keyboard or keycap plate out of the mold.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
