The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic printing machine for a miniature toggle switch cover, comprising a fixed base 1 and a toggle switch 5 to be tested. The fixed base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 15, in which a base 2 and a mounting base 3 are disposed. The mounting base 3 and the base 2 are combined to form a slider, which is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 15. One side of the mounting base 3 forms a channel with the sliding groove 15. The top of the mounting base 3 extends to the outside. The side of the mounting base 3 located on the outside is provided with a groove 20. The inner wall of the groove 20 is provided with a positioning groove 18. The inner wall of the positioning groove 18 is vertically provided with multiple slots 19. The toggle switch 5 to be tested is disposed in the positioning groove 18. The pin of the toggle switch 5 to be tested is inserted into the slot 19. A part of the toggle switch 5 to be tested extends into the groove 20. Inside the groove 20, a bottom rod 6 and a push rod 7 are disposed one above the other. The exposed part of the toggle switch 5 to be tested is in contact with the push rod 7. A limiting plate 8 is provided on the top surface of the mounting base 3 to limit the toggle switch 5 to be tested.

[0023] In this embodiment, one end of the limiting plate 8 is bent to form a clearance part 9. A fixing rod is installed between the clearance part 9 and the bottom rod 6. Multiple support frames connected to the fixing seat 1 are installed on the outer surfaces of both the limiting plate 8 and the bottom rod 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the end of the bottom rod 6 away from the toggle switch 5 under test protrudes to form a positioning part 10, and the push rod 7 protrudes to form a mounting part 11 opposite to the positioning part 10. The positioning part 10 is provided with a positioning port, and a push plate 16 is installed on the inner side of the mounting part 11. The push plate 16 is set through the positioning port, and an arc-shaped guide part 17 is provided on the side of the push plate 16 facing the toggle switch 5 under test. The push plate 16 is set opposite to the channel.

[0025] In this embodiment, an automatic imprinting device is installed on the outer side of the fixed base 1. The automatic imprinting device includes a first cylinder 13 and an imprinting head 12. The imprinting head 12 is installed on the piston rod of the first cylinder 13. A fixing frame is installed between the first cylinder 13 and the fixed base 1. The imprinting head 12 and the toggle switch 5 to be tested are on the same parallel plane.

[0026] In this embodiment, a second cylinder 14 is installed at one end of the fixed base 1. The piston rod of the second cylinder 14 is inserted into the slide groove 15 and fixedly connected to the base 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base 2 is provided with multiple positioning holes, and the mounting base 3 is equipped with positioning pins at the positions opposite to the positioning holes. The positioning pins are inserted into the positioning holes. The base and the mounting base can be positioned by the inserted positioning pins and positioning holes, thus avoiding the offset between the two.

[0028] In this design, after the piston rod of the second cylinder extends, it can push the base and mounting seat to move outward. After the mounting seat is completely removed from the slide, it can be directly removed from the base, making it easy to replace.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the slide groove 15 and the slider have a "T" shaped cross-section, which allows the base and the mounting seat to move only along the slide groove, facilitating their separation.

[0030] In use, the second cylinder is activated, causing the piston rod of the second cylinder to extend. The extension of the piston rod can push the base and mounting seat outward until the opening above the positioning groove on the mounting seat is opened. At this time, the toggle switch to be tested can be placed into the positioning groove, and the pins on the toggle switch to be tested can be inserted into the slot. After being placed in, the piston rod of the second cylinder retracts, thereby driving the toggle switch to be tested to move below the limit plate. The limit plate can press the toggle switch to be tested down and position it, while the slot and positioning groove can position the toggle switch to be tested circumferentially.

[0031] As the slider continues to move, the toggle switch to be tested can be positioned opposite the imprint head. At this time, the piston rod of the first cylinder will extend until the imprint head imprints on the outer cover of the toggle switch to be tested, thus completing the imprinting operation of the toggle switch to be tested.

[0032] After the stamping operation, the piston rod of the second cylinder can continue to retract. At this time, the toggle switch to be tested can move to the clearance part, so that the top of the toggle switch to be tested is unobstructed. The push plate can be squeezed by the base. Through the squeeze between the base and the guide part, the push plate can move upward along the positioning port. The movement of the push plate drives the push rod, which can push the toggle switch to be tested upward, so that the toggle switch to be tested can automatically disengage from the positioning groove, and the pin will disengage from the slot, making it convenient to disassemble.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
