Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of keycap brackets, in particular to a vibration plate for detecting keycap brackets. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use of laptops, the quality and performance requirements for laptop keyboards are becoming increasingly demanding. The keyboard is one of the primary input devices between the user and the computer, and its reliability directly impacts the user experience. As a crucial component of the keyboard, the quality of the keycap holder is crucial to the overall performance of the keyboard.

[0003] Currently, keycap holder qualification testing relies primarily on visual inspection by operators, primarily to check whether the hinged plate in the middle of the keycap holder body flips properly. This method is subjective and unstable. Operators are prone to fatigue in busy production environments, resulting in low inspection accuracy. Prolonged visual inspections are also prone to human error.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new technology that can efficiently and accurately detect the eligibility of laptop keyboard keycap brackets to improve production efficiency and reduce the risk of human error. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a vibration plate for keycap bracket detection. The vibration plate has a simple structure and can detect whether the rotating plate in the middle of the keycap bracket can rotate normally, and screen out unqualified products.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a vibration plate for keycap bracket detection, comprising:

[0007] A vibrating plate head;

[0008] A vibration plate connected to a vibration plate head, the vibration plate being provided with a first spiral slide, a second spiral slide, and a third spiral slide, wherein the starting ends of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide, and the third spiral slide are all connected to a main spiral slide, and the ends of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide, and the third spiral slide are all connected to a slot plate having a detection slot through a vertical section, wherein the top of one side plate of the slot plate is lower than the bottom of the hinge plate of the keycap bracket;

[0009] A blanking plate is fixed at the end of the vibration plate and is tilted.

[0010] Furthermore, an air pipe mounting frame is fixed on the vibration plate, and three air pipes are fixed on the air pipe mounting frame, and the ends of the air pipes are respectively facing the outer edges of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide and the third spiral slide.

[0011] Furthermore, both sides of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide and the third spiral slide are provided with limiting strips.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of guide plates are provided on the outer edges of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide and the third spiral slide, and the upper surfaces of the guide plates are inclined surfaces.

[0013] Furthermore, a material drop chute is provided in the middle of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide and the third spiral slide.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The vibration plate has a simple structure and can detect whether the hinged plate on the keycap bracket can rotate normally and screen out unqualified products;

[0016] 2. The vibration of the vibration plate can gradually move the stacked keycaps on the three spiral slides. During the movement, the keycap brackets that are not completely in the middle of the spiral slides will fall off;

[0017] 3. Through the blanking troughs opened in the middle of the first spiral slide, the second spiral slide and the third spiral slide, if the keycap bracket thereon is in an inclined state, it can directly fall from the blanking trough and enter the cycle again.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a vibration plate for keycap bracket detection, comprising:

[0024] A vibrating plate head 1;

[0025] A vibration plate 2, the vibration plate 2 is connected to the vibration plate 2 head 1, and the vibration plate 2 is provided with a first spiral slide 3, a second spiral slide 4 and a third spiral slide 5. The starting ends of the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4 and the third spiral slide 5 are connected to a main spiral slide 6, and the ends of the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4 and the third spiral slide 5 are connected to a slot plate 8 with a detection slot through a vertical section 7, and the top of one side plate of the slot plate 8 is lower than the bottom of the hinge plate 10 of the keycap bracket;

[0026] A blanking plate 9 is fixed to the end of the vibration plate 2 and is tilted.

[0027] The process of the present invention when in use is as follows: first, the keycap holders that need to be tested are piled up at the bottom of the vibration plate 2, and the head of the vibration plate 2 is started (the vibration plate 2 is a mature technology, and its head can be purchased directly, or disassembled on the existing vibration plate 2). The head of the vibration plate 2 vibrates, so that the keycaps therein rise in a spiral along the main spiral slide 6. When they reach the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4 and the third spiral slide 5, they are diverted and enter the three spiral slides respectively. When they reach the end of the spiral slide, the connecting bracket at the bottom will continue to move in the detection groove in the groove plate 8, and the hinge plate 10 thereon will flip over under the action of gravity. If the hinge plate 10 does not flip over, the keycap holder will fall directly after moving a distance on the groove plate 8 and enter the cycle again. After a group of keycap holders have cycled multiple times, the remaining keycap holders in the vibration plate 2 are unqualified products.

[0028] Furthermore, an air pipe mounting bracket 11 is fixed to the vibration plate 2, and three air pipes 12 are fixed to the air pipe mounting bracket 11, and the ends of the air pipes 12 are respectively directed toward the outer edges of the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4, and the third spiral slide 5. Specifically, three air pipes 12 are mounted on the vibration plate 2 via the air pipe 12 mounting bracket 11, and the ends of the three air pipes 12 are directed toward the outer edges of the three spiral slides. If the bottom of the keycap bracket extends beyond the spiral slides, it will be adjusted into the vibration plate 2 under the blowing of the high-pressure gas in the air pipe 12.

[0029] Furthermore, both sides of the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4, and the third spiral slide 5 are provided with limiting bars 13. Specifically, both sides of the three spiral slides are provided with limiting bars 13, which can limit the keycap bracket by the limiting bars 13. During the movement process, most of the keycap bracket can move between the limiting bars 13.

[0030] Furthermore, several guide plates 14 are provided on the outer edges of the first, second, and third spiral slides 3, 4, and 5, and the upper surfaces of the guide plates 14 are inclined. Due to the action of the guide plates 14, if the keycap holder on the spiral slide is not completely between the limit bars 13, its bottom will hit the guide plates 14, and under the action of the guide plates 14, it will gradually flip over and finally fall into the vibration plate 2.

[0031] Furthermore, a drop chute 15 is provided in the middle of each of the first spiral slide 3, the second spiral slide 4, and the third spiral slide 5. Specifically, since the drop chute 15 is provided in the middle of each of the spiral slides, if the keycap holder 16 is misaligned and does not fall off due to the action of the guide plate 14, it will fall directly from the drop chute 15.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
