Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot pressing jigs, in particular to an automatic hot pressing jig for buttons. Background Art

[0002] When using electronic devices, paired control handles are often produced to allow operators to conveniently control various functions of the device. During the production of the control handles, after the outer shell of the control handle is produced and formed, the corresponding buttons need to be installed in the outer shell.

[0003] Currently, the housing and buttons of a controller are typically assembled using a hot pressing jig. The housing and buttons are placed in a corresponding bottom mold, and a heated upper mold applies pressure to the housing and buttons in the bottom mold, firmly bonding the buttons to the housing.

[0004] However, in the existing hot pressing jig, when hot pressing and bonding the shell and the buttons, the shell and the buttons are directly hot pressed after the upper mold is heated. Due to the lack of sufficient heat insulation treatment, in addition to the corresponding button positions in the upper mold needing to be heated to melt the buttons and bond them to the shell, the entire upper mold is affected by the heating column, and the heat will be transferred to the non-hot pressing area. If the temperature of the upper mold in the non-hot pressing area is too high, the shell material may be deformed, affecting the quality and appearance of the product.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a key automatic hot pressing jig, comprising a machine platform, a bottom mold mounted on the machine platform, the bottom mold being formed with a mold groove adapted to the upper cover, and a key groove being formed on the bottom surface of the mold groove adapted to the key of the upper cover;

[0008] The machine platform is also equipped with a frame, a cylinder is installed on the upper end of the frame, a fixed plate is provided in the frame, and the telescopic shaft of the cylinder passes through the top plate of the frame and is fixedly connected to the fixed plate;

[0009] Two heat-conducting boxes are installed at the lower end of the fixing plate, and a heating rod is installed in the inner cavity of the heat-conducting box. The lower ends of the two heat-conducting boxes are respectively connected to two groups of heat-conducting columns, and the lower ends of the two groups of heat-conducting columns are respectively connected to two upper modules. The lower ends of the two upper modules are provided with key modules corresponding to the key slots;

[0010] The lower ends of the two upper modules are both provided with heat insulation plates, and the heat insulation plates are formed with through holes corresponding to the key modules.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a heat insulating block is provided between the heat conducting box and the fixing plate.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: sliding holes are opened on both sides of the fixed plate, sliding sleeves are set in the sliding holes, two directional rods are provided between the top plate of the frame and the machine platform, and the two directional rods respectively pass through the sliding sleeves and are connected with the sliding fit.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of fixing columns are provided between the upper module and the heat conduction box.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: two start buttons separated by a certain distance are provided on one side end of the machine, and the start buttons are electrically connected to the cylinder.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: both sides of the mold groove are provided with a clearance groove connected to the outside, and the bottom mold is formed with a notch groove corresponding to the housing hanging ear.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: the bottom surface of the mold groove is formed with a curved surface along the edge that is adapted to the shell.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: a time relay electrically connected to the cylinder is installed in the machine, and a time regulator electrically connected to the time relay is installed at the side end of the machine.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: a temperature display is provided on one side of the machine, and a temperature sensing wire is connected between the heating rod and the temperature display.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: an emergency stop button is provided on the machine.

[0020] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are:

[0021] During hot pressing, the heating rod inside the heat-conducting box emits heat, which is transferred to the heat-conducting box, and then the heat-conducting box transfers the heat to several heat-conducting columns below, so that the heat-conducting columns heat the two upper modules. Then, the cylinder is started to press the upper module downward, and the button module of the upper module heat-seals the button in the shell, so that the button and the shell are heat-fused and fixed. The heat transfer efficiency is high, which improves the efficiency of hot pressing.

[0022] When the upper module performs heat pressing on the housing and buttons, the heat insulation between the upper module and the housing is achieved through the heat insulation plate at the lower end of the upper module. At the same time, a through hole corresponding to the button module is opened. When the button module can perform heat pressing on the buttons normally, the heat pressing effect of the upper module on the non-heating area of ​​the housing is reduced, which can prevent the upper module from transferring heat to the non-heating area of ​​the housing and causing material deformation, thereby improving the appearance and quality of the product.

[0023] The utility model provides a key groove corresponding to the key in the mold groove, a notch groove corresponding to the housing ear, and a curved surface corresponding to the housing along the edge, so that the housing and the mold groove can be more closely fitted, thereby avoiding displacement of the housing during the hot pressing process that affects the hot pressing effect.

[0024] The utility model provides two start buttons for jointly controlling the cylinder, and separates the two start buttons by a certain distance, so that the worker needs to press the two start buttons with both hands at the same time to start the cylinder to press the fixed plate down, thereby avoiding injury to the worker;

[0025] The utility model utilizes the sliding matching connection of the sliding sleeves on both sides and the directional rod, so that when the cylinder pushes the fixed plate to rise and fall, the fixed plate and the upper module maintain linear motion, thereby improving the hot pressing accuracy.

[0026] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and will become apparent from the following description or learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the frame 3 is mounted and fixed on the machine platform 1 in a U-shape. The fixed plate 302 is located in the inner area of ​​the frame 3. The cylinder 301 is mounted on the top plate of the frame 3. The top plate is provided with a through hole. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 301 passes through the through hole of the top plate and is fixed to the fixed plate. By activating the cylinder 301, the fixed plate 302 can be raised and lowered.

[0049] More preferably, two start buttons 101 separated by a certain distance are provided on one side of the machine 1, and the start buttons 101 are electrically connected to the cylinder 301. Specifically, the two separate start buttons 101 are used to jointly control the start of the cylinder 301, so that the worker only needs to press the two start buttons 101 with both hands at the same time to start the cylinder 301 and press the fixing plate 302 downward, thereby avoiding injury to the worker.

[0050] Preferably, Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, two heat-conducting boxes 4 are installed at the lower end of the fixing plate 302, and a heating rod 401 is installed in the inner cavity of the heat-conducting box 4. The lower ends of the two heat-conducting boxes 4 are respectively connected to two groups of heat-conducting columns 402, and the lower ends of the two groups of heat-conducting columns 402 are respectively connected to two upper modules 5. The lower ends of the two upper modules 5 are provided with key modules 501 corresponding to the key slots 202. The heat-conducting boxes 4 and the heat-conducting columns 402 can both be made of copper. The heat-conducting box 4 is a box body composed of multiple plates.

[0053] The bottom mold is made of high temperature resistant material, specifically PTFE, etc., which is not limited here.

[0054] Specifically, during hot pressing, the heating rod 401 inside the heat-conducting box 4 emits heat, which is transferred to the heat-conducting box 4, and then the heat-conducting box 4 transfers the heat to the several heat-conducting columns 402 below, so that the heat-conducting columns 402 heat the two upper modules 5. Then, the cylinder 301 is started to press the fixing plate 302, the heat-conducting box 4, the heat-conducting columns 402 and the upper module 5 downward, so that the upper module 5 performs hot pressing on the shell in the mold groove 201, and the button module 501 performs hot melting on the button in the shell, so that the button and the shell are hot-fused and fixed. The upper module 501 is fixed to the shell, thereby completing the hot pressing fixation of the button and the shell, and when the upper module 5 hot presses the shell and the button, the heat insulation between the upper module 5 and the shell is achieved by the heat insulation plate 6 at the lower end of the upper module 5.

[0058] More preferably, sliding holes are opened on both sides of the fixed plate 302, and sliding sleeves 303 are arranged in the sliding holes. Two directional rods 9 are provided between the top plate of the frame 3 and the machine platform 1, and the two directional rods 9 respectively pass through the sliding sleeves 303 and are connected with the sliding fit; when the cylinder 301 pushes the fixed plate 302 to perform lifting movements, the sliding fit connection between the sliding sleeves 303 on both sides and the directional rods 9 is utilized to enable the fixed plate 302 to maintain linear motion, thereby improving the hot pressing accuracy.

[0059] Furthermore, a time relay electrically connected to the cylinder 301 is installed in the machine 1 , a time regulator 7 electrically connected to the time relay is installed at the side end of the machine 1 , and the time relay is electrically connected to the start button 101 .

[0060] Specifically, the setting time of the time relay installed in the machine 1 is adjusted by the time regulator 7, so that when the start button 101 is pressed, the cylinder 301 and the time relay are started synchronously. When the cylinder 301 starts, the upper module 5 performs hot pressing on the outer shell. When the time set by the time relay is reached and the hot pressing is completed, the cylinder 301 will automatically start and drive the upper module 5 to rise, thereby making the operation more automated and improving work efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, a temperature display 8 is provided on one side of the machine, and a temperature sensing line is connected between the heating rod 401 and the temperature display 8.
