Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of keycap bracket detection, in particular to a keycap bracket appearance detection device. Background Art

[0002] In today's digital age, laptops have become an indispensable tool in people's daily lives and work. As the core input device of laptops, the quality and performance of laptop keyboards directly impact the user experience and work efficiency. However, in traditional keyboard designs, the quality of the keycap bracket is often overlooked, yet it actually plays a crucial role in the keyboard's stability and durability.

[0003] Currently, quality inspection of laptop keycap brackets primarily relies on visual and manual inspection. This approach presents several challenges: First, visual inspection is highly subjective and easily influenced by the operator's subjective factors, making it difficult to guarantee the objectivity and accuracy of the inspection results. Second, manual inspection is inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of mass production. Third, because the keycap brackets are located beneath the keycaps, they are difficult to observe and inspect directly, which can easily lead to missed inspections of quality risks. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a keycap bracket 5 appearance inspection device, comprising:

[0026] A support plate 1, a drive motor 2 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1, and the motor shaft of the drive motor 2 passes through the support plate 1;

[0027] a rotating disk 4 fixed on the motor shaft of the driving motor 2;

[0028] A visual recognition component, comprising a camera bracket 6 fixed on a support plate 1, a high-speed camera 3 fixed on the camera bracket 6, and the high-speed camera 3 corresponds to the edge of the rotating disk 4;

[0029] A screening component includes a first driving component and a second driving component. The screening component also includes a first material receiving component and a second material receiving component. The first driving component drives qualified products to the first material receiving component, and the second driving component drives unqualified products to the second material receiving component.

[0030] The process of the present invention when in use is as follows: first, the keycap bracket 5 is placed on the vibration disk, and the end material channel of the vibration disk is connected to the rotating disk 4 of the detection device. The keycap bracket 5 is transmitted through the vibration disk and the keycap bracket 5 is transmitted to the rotating disk 4. When the rotating disk 4 rotates, it drives the keycap bracket 5 thereon to rotate. When the keycap bracket 5 rotates to the bottom of the high-speed camera 3 of the visual recognition component, the high-speed camera 3 is used to take a picture, and the result is transmitted to the control system for analysis of its appearance. If the appearance of the keycap bracket 5 is qualified, the instruction is sent to the first driving component. When the keycap bracket 5 is transmitted to the control area of ​​the first driving component, the keycap bracket 5 is driven to the first receiving component through the action of the first driving component. If the appearance of the keycap bracket 5 is unqualified (for example, there is missing material or the edge size is unqualified), the instruction is sent to the second driving component. When the keycap bracket 5 reaches the control area of ​​the second driving component, the keycap bracket 5 is driven to the second receiving component through the action of the second driving component, thereby completing the screening of the keycap bracket 5.

[0031] Furthermore, a counting sensor 7 is fixed to the support plate 1 via a counting bracket, and the rotating disk 4 is made of a transparent material. The rotating disk 4 of the present invention is made of a transparent material, specifically glass. In this case, the counting sensor 7 can be a photoelectric sensor. When the photoelectric sensor detects that it is blocked, it means that a keycap bracket 5 has passed. In this way, the counting sensor 7 can be used to record the number of products passing through the device, facilitating production statistics and management.

[0032] Furthermore, the first driving component and the second driving component are both fixed on a screening bracket, and the first driving component and the second driving component are both high-pressure gas nozzles 8, and the high-pressure gas nozzles 8 face the rotating plate. The two high-pressure gas nozzles 8 are connected to the high-pressure gas source, and the gas source pipeline (such as a solenoid valve) is controlled by a controller to realize the high-pressure gas nozzle jet (each jet can be 0.1-0.3S), so that the qualified keycap bracket 5 and the unqualified keycap bracket 5 can be blown into the corresponding material receiving parts respectively. Of course, in addition to the high-pressure gas nozzle, the first driving component and the second driving component can also adopt other structures, such as a push-pull cylinder, and the keycap bracket is pushed into the corresponding material receiving part by the push plate connected to the cylinder rod of the push-pull cylinder, but this structure is suitable for the case where the rotating disk rotates at a low speed, and the efficiency is not high.

[0033] Furthermore, the first and second material receiving components both utilize a receiving frame 9, the bottom of which is connected to a suction hose 10. The suction hose 10 (connected to a suction machine) allows the material in the receiving frame 9 to be sucked into a larger storage device, eliminating the need for operators to manually clean the receiving frame 9.

[0034] Furthermore, a support base is fixed on the motor shaft of the driving motor 2, and the rotating disk 4 is fixed by the support base. Specifically, the support base fixed on the motor shaft of the present invention can be used to fix the rotating disk 4, thereby achieving a more stable rotation of the rotating disk 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the screening bracket includes a door-shaped frame, to which a first bracket plate 12 and a second bracket plate 13 are fixed. The first bracket plate 12 and the second bracket plate 13 are each provided with an arcuate groove 14 for connecting to the high-pressure gas nozzle 8. Through the arcuate groove 14 on the first bracket plate 12 and the second bracket plate 13, a screw is connected to the high-pressure gas nozzle, which passes through the arcuate groove and is fixed by a nut. This structure enables the high-pressure gas nozzle 8 to be adjusted in angle so that it can accurately correspond to the keycap bracket 5, making the applicability of the present utility model wider.

[0036] 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.
