[0031] In the assembly and testing process of a solid-state drive, there is a process that requires plugging the PCBA of the SSD into a connector and then welding them together. Currently, most of them manually insert the connector into the corresponding position on the PCBA board. The disadvantage of manual insertion is that it is easy for the PCBA and the connector to be not properly connected during the production process, resulting in the connector hitting the housing during the assembly of the finished product, causing defects. During the process of manually pushing the connector and the PCBA, holding the connector will contaminate the gold fingers, and since the direction is not easy to control when inserting the connector, it is easy to touch the connector and deform the pins, resulting in abnormalities in the subsequent welding process. Therefore, this application proposes a plugging auxiliary device that can enable the correct connection between the PCBA and the connector and reduce the defect rate of the product.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 , the plugging auxiliary device of this application includes a mounting table 110, a placement table 200, a pushing member 400, and a driving member 300.
[0033] The placement table 200 is installed on the mounting table 110. In some embodiments, a first support member 130 is fixed on the mounting table 110. One end of the first support member 130 is connected to the mounting table 110, and the other end of the first support member 130 is connected to the placement table 200. There are four first support members 130, which are respectively connected to the four corners of the mounting table 110 to form a stable support structure.
[0034] The upper surface of the placement table 200 is provided with a first placement groove 210 and a second placement groove 220. The first placement groove 210 is used to place the PCB board, and the second placement groove 220 is used to place the connector. The first placement groove 210 communicates with the second placement groove 220, enabling the connector to move from the second placement groove 220 to the first placement groove 210, thereby plugging the PCB board and the connector. One end of the second placement groove 220 away from the first placement groove 210 is an opening, and the opening communicates with the second placement groove 220. The pushing member 400 can move into the second placement groove 220 through the opening to push the connector to plug with the PCB board.
[0035] An operation slot 230 is also formed in the placing table 200. The operation slot 230 communicates with the first placing slot 210. The function of the operation slot 230 is that when the staff picks up and places the PCB board, they can place their hand in the operation slot 230 and then hold the PCB board, which is convenient for picking up or putting down the PCB board. The second placing slot 220 is located on the first side of the first placing slot 210, and the operation slot 230 is located on the second side of the first placing slot 210. The first side and the second side are adjacent. By arranging the operation slot 230 on the second side, it can effectively avoid abnormal pins of the PCB board caused by operation errors, accidental touches, etc.
[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some other embodiments, the first placing slot 210 has opposite first and third sides, and opposite second and fourth sides. When connecting the connector to the PCB board, the PCB assembly is usually not cut, that is, the PCB assembly includes four PCB boards. At this time, the PCB assembly is placed in the first placing slot 210. Two second placing slots 220 are provided on both the first side and the third side of the first placing slot 210 to correspond to the interfaces of the four PCB boards, and operation slots 230 are provided on both the second side and the fourth side. By using two operation slots 230, the PCB board can be picked up and placed more stably, and the PCB board can be prevented from accidentally falling.
[0037] The pushing member 400 is slidably connected to the mounting table 110. The pushing member 400 can move towards the placing table 200, and can move back and forth along a direction perpendicular to the placing table 200 horizontally, and push the connector through the opening to plug the connector onto the PCB board. Specifically, one pushing member 400 can push the connectors placed on the same side.
[0038] Refer to Figure 3 , the driving member 300 is mounted on the mounting table 110. One end of the driving member 300 is connected to the pushing member 400. The driving member 300 can drive the pushing member 400 to move. The driving member 300 can be set as a gear, a motor, a cylinder, etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the driving member 300 is set as a cylinder, and one end of the piston rod 310 is connected to the pushing member 400.
[0039] In some embodiments, a slide rail 120 is fixed on the mounting table 110, and the pushing member 400 is slidably connected to the mounting table 110 through the slide rail 120.
[0040] In some embodiments, the heights of the driving member 300 and the pushing member 400 are usually inconsistent. To ensure that the movements of the driving member 300 and the pushing member 400 are on the same horizontal plane, a second support member 140 is fixed on the mounting table 110, and the driving member 300 is fixed on the upper surface of the second support member 140 to ensure that the movement directions of the driving member 400 and the pushing member 400 are always in the same plane.
[0041] The plugging auxiliary device of the present application further includes a sensor and a regulator. Both the sensor and the regulator are installed on the driving member 300. The sensor can sense the distance between the driving member 300 and the placement table 200, and the regulator is used to adjust the distance between the driving member 300 and the placement table 200. Since the distance that the driving member 300 can drive the pushing member 400 to move is limited, when the longest distance that the driving member 300 can drive the pushing member 400 to move is not enough for the pushing member 400 to push the connector, the staff can adjust the distance between the driving member 300 and the placement table 200 according to the distance displayed on the sensor by using the regulator. The settings of the sensor and the regulator facilitate the staff to adjust the distance between the driving member 300 and the placement table 200 in real time.
[0042] The plugging auxiliary device of the present application further includes a box body 100 and a power source. The box body 100 has a mounting table 110, that is, the upper cover of the box body 100 is the mounting table 110. The box body 100 has an accommodation space inside, and the power source is placed in the accommodation space. The power source is connected to the driving member 300 and the sensor, and the power source is used to supply electricity to each part in the plugging auxiliary device.
[0043] Refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a first switch 510 is installed on the box body 100. The first switch 510 is electrically connected to the driving member 300. The first switch 510 can control the working state of the driving member 300. Press the first switch 510 to turn on the driving member 300. When the driving member 300 is in the off state, the pushing member 400 is in the original position. The original position of the pushing member 400 is the end of the slide rail 120 close to the driving member 300. Press the first switch 510 to turn on the driving member 300. The driving member 300 drives the pushing member 400 to move, and the pushing member 400 pushes the connector to be connected to the PCB board. After the PCB board and the connector are plugged in and the pushing member 400 returns to the original position, the driving member 300 completes one work, and at this time the driving member 300 is in the off state.
[0044] A second switch 520 is installed on the box body 100. The second switch 520 is electrically connected to the power source. Press the second switch 520 to turn on and off the power source. After the power source is turned on, pressing the first switch 510 can change the working state of the driving member 300.
[0045] An emergency switch 530 is installed on the box body 100. The emergency switch 530 is electrically connected to the power supply. The emergency switch 530 is used to cut off the power supply and can prevent the occurrence of safety accidents.
[0046] In some embodiments, the plugging auxiliary device further includes a time controller. The time controller is placed inside the box body 100. The time controller is connected to the driving member 300. The time controller is used to control the staying time of the driving member 300, that is, after the pushing member 400 pushes the connector to be plugged into the PCB board in place, the time when the driving member 300 stops driving the pushing member 400. After the staying time, the driving member 300 drives the pushing member 400 to move back to the original position. Setting the staying time can buffer the plugging of the connector and the PCB board.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, by using the first placement groove 210 to limit the position of the PCB board and the second placement groove 220 to limit the position of the connector, and the first placement groove 210 and the second placement groove 220 are communicated, the driving member 300 drives the pushing member 400 to push the connector to be plugged on the PCB board. Compared with manual plugging that causes abnormal connection between the connector and the PCB, the present application can ensure the correct connection between the connector and the PCB board and reduce the defective rate of the product.
[0048] The above has described the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present application within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
