Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switches, and particularly relates to a conveying device for switch pins. Background Art

[0002] A switch refers to an electronic component that can open a circuit, interrupt current, or cause it to flow to other circuits. Common switches include micro switches, rocker switches, toggle switches, slide switches, push-button switches, key switches, etc. A switch generally has multiple components, and during the production and processing process, multiple components need to be assembled into an integrated product. Commonly used switches generally have metal pins (also known as leads, terminals) provided on the base to facilitate the conduction connection between the switch and other electrical components. The number of pins varies according to different switch design requirements, but mostly there are two or more. During the production process of the switch, first, the metal pins need to be inserted into the preset holes in the switch base to fix the metal pins on the base, and then the remaining components of the switch are installed. In traditional operations, the pin insertion operation is generally carried out by a pin insertion device. The operator places the base of the switch at the pin insertion device, and the pin insertion device then inserts the pins into the base. After the insertion is completed, the base is taken out and transferred to another pin insertion device for the insertion operation of other pins. In the case of switches with a large number of pins, this method requires multiple loading, unloading, and transfer operations, with cumbersome actions and low efficiency.

Detailed implementation manners

[0022] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a conveying device for switch pins, including a plurality of supports, a substrate disposed on the supports, a conveying channel disposed on the substrate for accommodating switch bases, and a driving mechanism connected to the substrate for driving the switch bases to move on the conveying channel.

[0024] The driving mechanism includes a fixing frame connected to the bottom surface of the substrate, a horizontal moving assembly disposed on the fixing frame, a vertical moving assembly connected to the horizontal moving assembly, and a plurality of pushing members connected to the vertical moving assembly. The plurality of pushing members are evenly arranged. The substrate is provided with a long hole along the conveying direction, and the pushing members extend through the long hole to the conveying channel. The vertical moving assembly can drive the pushing members to rise to a height corresponding to the switch bases, and then the horizontal moving assembly drives the vertical moving assembly to move horizontally, that is, drives the pushing members to move horizontally. The pushing members contact the switch bases and push the switch bases to move a set distance.

[0025] The horizontal movement component includes a first moving plate movably connected to the fixed frame, and a first driving member disposed on the first moving plate for driving the first moving plate to move in the horizontal direction. The vertical movement component is disposed on the first moving plate, so that when the first moving plate moves, the vertical movement component moves accordingly.

[0026] The vertical movement component includes a second moving plate movably connected to the first moving plate, and a second driving member connected to the first moving plate for driving the second moving plate to move in the vertical direction. A plurality of the pushing members are uniformly disposed on the second moving plate. In this embodiment, two groups of vertical movement components are provided.

[0027] The conveying channel includes a first base body and a second base body disposed on the substrate. There is a gap between the first base body and the second base body. The pushing member extends to the gap between the first base body and the second base body. A first guiding channel is disposed at a position near the top surface on the side wall of the first base body facing the second base body, and a second guiding channel corresponding to the first guiding channel is disposed at a position near the top surface on the side wall of the second base body facing the first base body. The first guiding channel and the second guiding channel together form a conveying channel for the switch base to move. Specifically, the first guiding channel and the second guiding channel are set according to the specifications of the switch base to ensure that the switch base can move along a predetermined route.

[0028] The first base body and / or the second base body are provided with a plurality of positioning components for positioning the switch base. The positioning component includes a fixing member and a pressing member. The pressing member and the fixing member are connected by an elastic member (not shown in the drawing). The pressing member of the positioning component disposed on the first base body extends to the first guiding channel, and the pressing member of the positioning component disposed on the second base body extends to the second guiding channel. In the process of using the present invention, it needs to cooperate with other devices (such as a pin feeding device, a pin inserting device, etc.). Different structures may need to be connected to the first base body or the second base body. In order to avoid these structures, the positioning components can be disposed on the first base body or the second base body according to specific circumstances. A plurality of positioning components are provided at the same interval. When the switch base moves to a position corresponding to the positioning component, the pressing member presses against the switch base, pressing the switch base against the first base body or the second base body to achieve positioning, so as to facilitate the pin inserting operation of the pin inserting device. The end shape of the pressing member can be adaptively set according to the specifications of the switch base. In this embodiment, the elastic member uses a spring, and the pressing member is provided with a hole for installing the elastic member.

[0029] Both the first base body and the second base body are provided with mounting holes for connecting the pressing member. The pressing member is movably connected in the mounting hole. The mounting holes are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction along the horizontal plane, that is, it is ensured that the pressing member can move towards the first guiding channel or the second guiding channel.

[0030] An installation groove is provided at the position of the first base corresponding to the installation hole, and the fixing member is arranged in the installation groove. The fixing member serves as a fixed end and cooperates with the elastic member to enable the pressing member to move towards the first guiding channel or the second guiding channel under the action of elastic force.

[0031] The end of the conveying channel is connected with a discharging channel. After the switch base completes the pin insertion operation, it can leave the conveying channel from the discharging channel.

[0032] The conveying device for switch pin insertion includes a base feeding mechanism. The base feeding mechanism includes a feeding base, a vibrating disk arranged on the feeding base, a feeding channel connected to the vibrating disk, and a feeding channel arranged at the starting end of the conveying channel. The feeding channel and the feeding channel are connected. The feeding mechanism can convey the base to the feeding channel, and the driving mechanism sequentially sends the switch base from the feeding channel into the conveying channel one by one.

[0033] During the working process of the present utility model, it can cooperate with the pin insertion device. The number of pins of different switches is different, and different pins need to be sequentially inserted into the switch base in sequence. For example, when the processed base has three pins, three pin insertion devices need to be set, that is, corresponding to three pin insertion operation stations. The present utility model orderly conveys the switch base between multiple pin insertion operation stations, so as to facilitate each pin insertion device to insert the pins into the switch base.

[0034] The present utility model is provided with a conveying channel and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism can push the switch base to move along the conveying channel, and each time it moves the same set distance, accurately and orderly sending the switch base into each pin insertion station, realizing continuous pin insertion operation, without the need for repeated and cumbersome material collection and transfer, shortening the processing time and improving the production efficiency.
