[0002] On the current laptop assembly line, after the system end and the display end, including part C, are assembled, part D needs to be assembled onto the system end to complete the assembly of the entire laptop. However, when part D needs to be assembled onto the system end, it is easy for parts C and D to collide with each other locally, causing scratches on parts C and D, affecting the appearance. Therefore, in order to prevent parts C and D from colliding during assembly, protective films need to be attached to the four corners of parts C and D before the production line assembles part D. These films need to be removed immediately after assembly to avoid the protective films being unable to be pulled out after the screws are tightened. However, the attachment of protective films is required for each laptop assembly, which results in a large amount of material and labor costs. In addition, the manual attachment of protective films results in low laptop assembly efficiency and increases production line operation time. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0029] At present, on the assembly line of laptop computers, after the system end and the display end including part C are assembled, part D needs to be assembled to the system end last to complete the assembly and screw fixing of the entire laptop computer. However, when part D is currently assembled to the system end, a protective film is usually first applied to part D and part C, and then the protective film of parts D and C is torn off after the assembly is completed, and finally the screws are fastened. However, this method makes it inevitable that part D will collide with part C during assembly, causing damage to parts D and C; and this method consumes the protective film for each laptop assembled, greatly increasing the production cost. Based on this, the present application provides a laptop computer assembly protective jig.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the utility model provides a laptop computer assembly protection fixture. Figure 1-5 As shown, the laptop computer assembly protection fixture includes:

[0031] A fixture body 1 is used to place a semi-finished notebook 2 having a C component 21;

[0032] There are multiple drive assemblies 3, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixture body 1. The drive assembly 3 has a first output end 311 that performs reciprocating linear motion toward or away from the C part 21;

[0033] The protective film 4 is installed on the first output end 311. The protective film 4 is configured to cover at least the parting surface around the C part 21 and is separated from the notebook under the drive of the first output end 311 after the D part 22 of the notebook is assembled with the notebook semi-finished product 2.

[0034] In this application, the so-called semi-finished notebook 2 includes the system end and the display end including part C, that is, except for part D, the rest of the notebook has been assembled. Therefore, in order to assemble part D onto the system end of the semi-finished notebook 2, this application provides a notebook computer assembly protective jig (hereinafter referred to as "jig") to prevent damage to part D 22 from colliding with part C 21 during assembly, and to reduce the material cost of the protective film 4 and the assembly operation time.

[0035] Therefore, the jig of the present application is provided with a driving component 3, which has a first output end 311, and the first output end 311 is connected to the protective film 4, so that when the semi-finished notebook 2 is placed on the jig body 1, the protective film 4 is driven by the first output end 311 to make a linear motion toward the direction close to the C part 21, and at least covers the parting surface around the C part 21, and then assembles the D part 22 to the system end including the C part 21, and then detaches from the assembled notebook under the drive of the first output end 311, and finally fixes the D part and the C part / system end by locking screws. Since the protective film has covered the parting surface around the C part when the D part is assembled, it can effectively prevent the D part from colliding with the C part, and prevent the parting surfaces of the C and D parts from being scratched during the assembly process. Among them, as Figure 2 As shown, there are four drive components 3 distributed around the semi-finished notebook 2, so that each drive component 3 corresponds to a side edge of the C part 21, so that the protective film 4 connected to each drive component 3 covers the parting surface of one side edge of the C part and the protective film 4 extends in the length direction of the corresponding side edge of the C part.

[0036] For example, in this embodiment, the protective film 4 is made of plastic, preferably PVC. Plastic is chosen for the protective film 4 in this embodiment because it has a certain degree of toughness and strength, can withstand repeated pulling and pulling, and is relatively thin. Therefore, this can significantly reduce the use of protective film and lower production costs. Furthermore, when component D 22 is assembled on the system end, the protective film 4 only serves to separate components C and D during assembly, preventing collisions. Once component D is placed on the system end, the protective film is activated and removed. The protective film 4 only needs to overcome the weight of component D 22 to be smoothly removed from the notebook. The weight of component D 22 is generally around 180g, so the pressure on the protective film 4 from component D 22 is minimal. Furthermore, since the protective film 4 is made of plastic, it has a certain degree of toughness and strength, and most plastics currently on the market can meet this requirement. Therefore, the use of the protective film 4 on the jig not only provides protection during component D assembly, but also significantly saves production costs.

[0037] For example, in this embodiment, the parting surface (PL surface) of part C and part D refers to the end surface of the two parts that are in contact in the circumferential direction. Therefore, in order to effectively protect part D during assembly, the protective film must at least cover the parting surface of part C. Of course, the protective film can also extend further toward the center of part C to cover more, and can also provide more protection, so that when part D is assembled to the system end, part D and the system end are initially fixed by snap fasteners, and then the protective film 4 is detached from the notebook under the drive of the first output end 311, and then the fixation of part D and part C / system end is completed by tightening the screws. Among them, since the protective film 4 covers the parting surface around part C in the circumferential direction, it effectively prevents part C and part D from colliding during assembly (effectively avoiding the breakage phenomenon caused by the PL surfaces of parts C and D being scratched).

[0038] In one embodiment, the thickness of the protective film 4 is less than or equal to the gap between the parting surfaces of the C part 21 and the D part 22 after the D part 22 is assembled to the system end.

[0039] For example, the gap between the parting surface of laptop computer C part 21 and the parting surface of D part 22 is generally 0.1-0.15 mm. In order to enable the protective film 4 to be smoothly removed after the assembly of D part is completed, the thickness of the protective film 4 is less than or equal to 0.1 mm.

[0040] For example, Figure 3-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the protective film 4 is fixed to the first output end 311 by adhesive or screws. The fixing method of the protective film 4 is simple, convenient and easy to operate.

[0041] In one embodiment, the driving assembly 3 includes a driving mechanism 31 mounted on the fixture body 1 , and the driving mechanism 3 has a first output end 311 ;

[0042] The slide rail sliding assembly 32 includes a slide rail 321 and a sliding assembly 322 slidably mounted on the slide rail 321; wherein the first output end 311 is connected to the protective film 4 through the sliding assembly 322;

[0043] The limiting seat 33 is installed on the upper surface of the fixture body 1 , and the slide rail 321 is installed on the limiting seat 33 .

[0044] For example, in order to save space in the jig body 1 and facilitate the installation of the drive mechanism 31, the interior of the jig body 1 is a hollow structure, and the drive mechanism 31 is installed in the cavity of the jig body 1. The limit seat 33 is provided with an avoidance opening 331 for the first output end 31 to move back and forth linearly. After the first output end 311 of the drive mechanism 31 is exposed from the avoidance opening 331, it is connected to the protective film 4 through a sliding assembly 322, thereby driving the protective film 4 to move back and forth linearly. The sliding assembly 322 includes a sliding rod 3221 and a support frame fixed base 3222; the middle position of the sliding rod 3221 is fixedly connected to the first output end 311, and the bottom of the support frame fixed base 3222 is fixedly connected to the slider 3223. The slider 3223 can be slidably installed on the slide rail 321, so that the support frame fixed base 3222 can move back and forth linearly along the slide rail 321. The first end of the support frame fixed base 3222 is connected to the sliding rod 3221 , and the second end of the support frame fixed base 3222 is detachably connected to the protective film 4 .

[0045] The limiting seat 33 includes two parallel rails 321 at either end of the sliding rod 3221, enabling smooth movement of the support frame fixed base 3222. The first output end 311 of the drive mechanism 31 drives the sliding rod 3221 in reciprocating linear motion, thereby simultaneously driving the support frame fixed base 3222 and the protective film 4 thereon in reciprocating linear motion toward or away from the C component 21.

[0046] The second end of the support frame fixing base 3222 is detachably connected to the protective film 4. Alternatively, the first end of the protective film 4 may be fixed to the second end of the support frame fixing base 3222 via an adhesive, while the second end of the protective film 4 is freely hanging down to cover the parting surface of part C. Alternatively, the first end of the protective film 4 may be fixed to the second end of the support frame fixing base 3222 via a screw, such as a threaded member, while the second end of the protective film 4 is freely hanging down to cover the parting surface of part C.

[0047] For example, the driving mechanism 31 may be a cylinder.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 1-5 As shown, the laptop assembly protective jig of the present application further includes a protective cover 5, which is mounted on the upper surface of the jig body 1 and covers the drive assembly 3. The protective cover 5 can effectively prevent dust from entering the drive assembly 3. When the jig is not in use, the first output end 311 is located in the initial position, and the protective film 4 is away from the C component, and thus located below the protective cover 5. This can effectively prevent dust from adhering to the protective film, making it easier and smoother to remove the laptop from the laptop after the parting surface covering the protective C component and the assembly of the D component and the system end.

[0049] Furthermore, the laptop computer assembly protection jig of the present application also includes a fixed base 6, which has a groove 61. The fixed base 6 can be detachably mounted on the upper surface of the jig body 1, and the semi-finished notebook product 2 is placed in the groove 61 to limit the horizontal displacement of the semi-finished notebook product 2, so that the fixed base 6 fixes the semi-finished notebook product 2.

[0050] The size of the fixed base 6 is adapted to the semi-finished notebook product 2. When the system end of the semi-finished notebook product needs to be assembled with part D, part A of the semi-finished notebook product is placed downward and the system end including part C is placed upward in the groove 61 of the fixed base 6. The fixed base 6 can fix the semi-finished notebook product 2, limit the displacement of the semi-finished notebook product 2, and prevent part D 22 from shaking when assembled to the system end, thereby affecting the assembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, the laptop assembly protection jig of the present application further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 31 and is used to control the opening or closing of the drive mechanism 31 and the stroke of the first output end 311 of the drive mechanism. The controller can automatically control whether the drive mechanism 31 is working or not, and control the stroke of the first output end 311. When the assembly of the D part 22 requires protection, it is only necessary to turn on the drive mechanism, and the first output end can automatically move into position so that the protective film 4 on it covers the parting surface of the C part 21, thereby smoothly completing the assembly of the D part and the system end, improving the assembly efficiency of the laptop computer, realizing the automation of the jig of the present application, solving the collision problem between the C part and the D part during assembly, and also realizing the sharing of multiple models, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0052] The following is a brief description of the working process of assembling a laptop computer using the jig of the present application:

[0053] Step 1): After the display end and the system end of the laptop are assembled except for part D, they are placed on the fixed base 6 of the jig with part A facing downward and the system end facing upward.

[0054] Step 2) Start the jig, the driving mechanism 31 starts working, and the first output end 311 moves linearly toward the C part 21 until it moves to the set stroke. At this time, the free end of the protective film 4 on the first output end 311 covers the parting surface around the C part 21;

[0055] Step 3) Place the matching D component on the system end, and the two are initially fixed by the internal buckles. At this point, the D component has been assembled on the system end;

[0056] Step 4), controlling the driving mechanism 31 to return the first output end 311 to the initial position. At the same time, the first output end 311 synchronously drives the protective film 4 to exit the notebook;

[0057] Step 5) Secure component D, component C, and the system end by tightening screws, thus completing the assembly of the entire laptop.
