Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic equipment production, in particular to an automatic key-operated shutdown device. Background Art

[0002] Before leaving the factory, various electronic devices must undergo various tests and then be packaged for shipment. Many tests are performed while the device is powered on, but packaging requires the device to be powered off. Currently, many electronic devices are typically shut down manually after testing. Electronic devices come in a variety of models, each with different structures and sizes, including the location of the power-off button. Using mechanical equipment for automatic shutdown requires setting up different shutdown devices for different models of electronic devices, which is costly. Alternatively, the shutdown device must be adjusted based on the different models of electronic devices, which is complex and cumbersome to operate.

[0003] For example, laptops come in a variety of sizes, including 14-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch. Laptops also need to be shut down during the packaging process. Conventional technology requires manual code scanning and comparison before shutdown. After the MES confirms the need for shutdown, the user simultaneously presses designated keycaps on the product's keyboard and waits for the product to shut down. Specifically, during operation, electronic devices require manual handling, code scanning, flipping, and keypressing. Automatic manual identification of product size is also required. During the interaction between manual code scanning and the MES, only laptops identified as requiring shutdown can be shut down. Laptops identified as requiring random inspection or having failed a previous process step cannot be shut down and need to be removed for random inspection or reprocessed for re-inspection. Furthermore, the placement of keys varies depending on the product size, requiring identification. This process requires significant manpower, which undoubtedly results in wasteful labor. Furthermore, the long hours of manual code scanning and placement of the entire product puts significant strain on the operator. Furthermore, manual identification lacks error prevention mechanisms, making it prone to errors.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic key-press shutdown device that can automatically identify and judge and then automatically perform a shutdown key operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic key-press shutdown device which can automatically identify and judge and then automatically perform a shutdown key operation.

[0042] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, the following is a further description in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention provides an automatic key-operated shutdown device 100, which is suitable for electronic devices 102, especially laptop computers, and can shut down laptop computers of various models and sizes before packaging. The automatic key-operated shutdown device 100 includes a conveying mechanism 10, a blocking mechanism 20, a positioning mechanism 30, a pushing mechanism 40, a detection mechanism 50, and a key-operated mechanism 60, which are arranged on a frame 101. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey the electronic device 102. The blocking mechanism 20 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 to stop the electronic device 102 being conveyed on the conveying mechanism 10 at a preset position. The preset position is the position where one end of the electronic device 102 abuts the blocking mechanism 20, that is, the position where the electronic device 102 initially stops on the conveying mechanism 10 to be pushed by the pushing mechanism 40. The positioning mechanism 30 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 to locate the position of the electronic device 102. The pushing mechanism 40 is arranged on the other side of the conveying mechanism 10 away from the positioning mechanism 30 to push the electronic device 102 so that the electronic device 102 abuts the positioning mechanism 30. Thereby, the position of one end of the electronic device 102 on the conveying mechanism 10 is fixed, and then the size of the electronic device 102 can be judged according to the position of the other end of the electronic device 102 on the conveying mechanism 10. The detection mechanism 50 includes an automatic code scanning component 52 and multiple groups of detection components 51 arranged on the conveying mechanism 10. The automatic code scanning component 52 is arranged above the preset position for scanning and comparing codes to determine whether the corresponding electronic device 102 needs to be shut down. The multiple groups of detection components 51 are arranged on the end of the conveying mechanism 10 away from the material blocking mechanism 20, and each group of detection components 51 can be used to detect the position of the electronic device 102 on the conveying mechanism 10. If the multiple groups of detection components 51 can detect and sense the electronic device 102 at the same time, it means that the length of the other end of the electronic device 102 passes through the multiple groups of detection components 51. If some detection components 51 can detect and sense the electronic device 102, while some detection components 51 cannot, it indicates that the length of the electronic device 102 is within the length range between the detection component 51 that can detect the electronic device 102 and the adjacent detection component 51 that cannot detect the electronic device 102, and the length of the electronic device 102 within this range can be determined. The key mechanism 60 includes multiple sets of key components 62, each of which is used to press the power button on electronic devices 102 of different sizes. The multiple sets of detection components 51 detect and determine the size of the electronic device 102, and then transmit a signal to the key mechanism 60. The key mechanism 60 drives the corresponding key component 62 to perform the power-off operation on the electronic device 102 based on the size signal information.

[0044] Compared to the prior art, the automatic key-operated shutdown device 100 of the present invention uses a conveying mechanism 10 to transport an electronic device 102. When the electronic device 102 reaches a preset position, the stopper assembly stops the electronic device 102; then, the pushing mechanism 40 pushes the electronic device 102 until it rests against the positioning mechanism 30. The position of one end of the electronic device 102 on the conveying mechanism 10 is fixed, and the position of the other end of the electronic device 102 is detected and determined by multiple sets of detection components 51 on the detection mechanism 50, thereby determining the size of the electronic device 102. The automatic code scanning component 52 then scans and compares the code to determine whether the corresponding electronic device 102 needs to be shut down. Electronic devices 102 that do not need to be shut down are processed separately, while electronic devices 102 that need to be shut down drive the corresponding key assembly 62 to perform the shutdown operation based on their corresponding size. The automatic key-operated shutdown device 100 of the present invention has a simple structure and can be used to perform the shutdown key operation on electronic devices 102 of different sizes. It does not require structural adjustment and is easy to operate.

[0045] See also Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, the material blocking mechanism 20 includes a material blocking cylinder 21 and a material blocking member 22. The material blocking member 22 is installed at the output end of the material blocking cylinder 21, and the material blocking cylinder 21 is actuated to drive the material blocking member 22 to extend to the conveying mechanism 10 to block the material. Among them, the material blocking member 22 includes an integral mounting portion 221 and a material blocking portion 222, the mounting portion 221 is mounted at the output end of the material blocking cylinder 21, and the material blocking portion 222 is perpendicular to the mounting portion 221. The material blocking portion 222 is used to stop the electronic device 102, and a flexible material such as silicone or PU can be attached to the material blocking portion 222 to avoid damaging the electronic device 102. It can be understood that when the material blocking mechanism 20 is extended, the electronic device 102 can be stopped on the conveying mechanism 10, and the retraction of the material blocking mechanism 20 will not affect the transmission of the electronic device 102. The material stopping member 22 is L-shaped so as to better cooperate with the material stopping cylinder 21 to stop the electronic device 102 without affecting the transmission of the electronic device 102 on the transmission mechanism 10 .

[0046] See also Figure 4In some optional embodiments, the positioning mechanism 30 includes a fixing component 31 and a plurality of positioning rollers 32. The fixing component 31 is provided with a hollow mounting cavity, and the plurality of positioning rollers 32 are rotatably arranged in the mounting cavity of the fixing component 31. The plurality of positioning rollers 32 are arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 10. When the pushing mechanism 40 pushes the electronic device 102 to abut against the positioning roller 32 on the positioning mechanism 30, the rotating positioning roller 32 can avoid damaging the electronic device 102, which is safer and more reliable. On the other hand, an adjustment mounting hole 311 is provided on the fixing component 31, and the installation position of the fixing component 31 on the rack 101 is adjusted by adjusting the mounting hole 311, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning mechanism 30 on the conveying mechanism 10. Different electronic devices 102 have different starting positions, which can be adjusted through the adjustment mounting hole 311 on the fixing component 31.

[0047] See also Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, the pushing mechanism 40 includes a pushing cylinder 41, a pushing member 42, and a flexible member 43. The pushing member 42 is installed at the output end of the pushing cylinder 41, and the flexible member 43 is installed on the surface of the pushing member 42 away from the pushing cylinder 41. By starting the pushing cylinder 41, the flexible member 43 on the pushing member 42 pushes the electronic device 102 to move laterally on the conveying mechanism 10 until the electronic device 102 abuts against the positioning mechanism 30. The flexible member 43 is made of a flexible material such as elastomeric or silicone, which can prevent the electronic device 102 from being damaged when being pushed.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some optional embodiments, the detection mechanism 50 further includes a sensing component 53 located on one side of the blocking mechanism 20. When the electronic device 102 is stopped by the blocking mechanism 20, the sensing component 53 senses that the electronic device 102 is at a preset position of the conveying mechanism 10 and drives the pushing mechanism 40 through a background program to push the electronic device 102 against the positioning mechanism 30.

[0049] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In some optional embodiments, multiple detection components 51 are mounted on the frame 101 via a first mounting bracket 510 and located on one side of the conveyor mechanism 10. Each detection component 51 includes a photoelectric sensor 511. Multiple photoelectric sensors 511 are used to determine the area on the conveyor mechanism 10 where the end of the electronic device 102 away from the material blocking mechanism 20 is located to determine the size of the electronic device 102. If the corresponding photoelectric sensor 511 can detect the presence of the electronic device 102, it proves that the size of the electronic device 102 covers this area. If the corresponding photoelectric sensor cannot detect the presence of the electronic device 102, it proves that the size of the electronic device 102 does not exceed this area. This allows the size range of the electronic device 102 to be determined, and further, the size of the electronic device 102 to be determined. Meanwhile, the automatic code scanning component 52 includes a second mounting bracket 521 and a code scanner 522. The code scanner 522 is adjustably mounted on the frame 101 via the second mounting bracket 521 and suspended in a preset position. The barcode scanner 522 scans the barcode to determine whether the corresponding electronic device 102 is an electronic device 102 that needs to be inspected. If the corresponding electronic device 102 needs to be inspected, it will be processed separately and will not be shut down. Alternatively, if the barcode is detected to be an unqualified electronic device 102 in the previous process step, the shutdown button cannot be pressed and the device needs to be removed for rework and re-inspection.

[0050] See also Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, multiple groups of key assemblies 62 are mounted on the frame 101 via a support frame 61. Each group of key assemblies 62 includes a pressing cylinder 621 and a pressing member 622 disposed at the output end of the pressing cylinder 621. The pressing cylinder 621 is actuated to drive the corresponding pressing member 622 to press the corresponding key on the electronic device 102. For example, when shutting down a laptop computer, if two keys need to be pressed simultaneously, the corresponding two groups of key assemblies 62 are driven to press the keyboard keycaps to shut down the computer based on the size of the electronic device 102 fed back by the detection component 51. The pressing cylinder 621 then drives the pressing member 622 to reset.

[0051] See also Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, a guide mechanism 70 is further included. The guide mechanism 70 is disposed on an end of the conveying mechanism 10 away from the material blocking mechanism 20. Specifically, the guide mechanism 70 includes a mounting assembly 71 and a plurality of guide rollers 72. The mounting assembly 71 is mounted on the frame 101. The plurality of guide rollers 72 are rotatably mounted within the mounting assembly 71 and are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 10. It will be understood that the guide mechanism 70 is disposed at the starting end of the conveying mechanism 10 to guide the conveying of the electronic device 102 to prevent the electronic device 102 from deviating from the conveying track and affecting positioning.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the automatic key-operated shutdown device 100 of the present invention transmits the electronic device 102 through the transmission mechanism 10, and when the electronic device 102 is transmitted to the preset position, the electronic device 102 is stopped by the material blocking component. Then the sensing component 53 senses to drive the pushing mechanism 40 to push the electronic device 102 against the positioning mechanism 30. It can be understood that the position of the electronic device 102 at one end on the transmission mechanism 10 is fixed, that is, the position close to the end of the material blocking mechanism 20 is fixed. The position of the other end of the electronic device 102 is detected and determined by the multiple groups of detection components 51 on the detection mechanism 50, and then the size of the electronic device 102 is determined. Then the automatic code scanning component 52 scans and compares to determine whether the corresponding electronic device 102 needs to be shut down. The electronic device 102 that does not need to be shut down is processed separately, and the electronic device 102 that needs to be shut down drives the corresponding key component 62 to perform the shutdown operation according to its corresponding size. The automatic button shutdown device 100 of the present invention has a simple structure and is applicable to the shutdown button operation of electronic devices 102 of different sizes. There is no need to adjust the structure, and the operation is convenient.

[0053] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are all within the scope covered by the present invention.
