[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0030] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0031] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0032] Back covers are typically made of plastic and usually have pre-drilled mounting holes for installing button components, such as silicone buttons. After the button components are installed, their edges fit snugly against the inner wall of the back cover, with the main body protruding through the mounting holes. Therefore, manual installation of button components requires working from inside the back cover. Due to the small size of the button components and mounting holes, the installation process is somewhat inconvenient and prone to misalignment.

[0033] To solve the above problems, a button component assembly device can be used for installation. The positioning component can position the product and button components. After positioning, it can drive the button components to be attached to the product. The attachment position is accurate and the efficiency is high.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment provides a button accessory assembly device, including a lower mold 1, a positioning component 2, and a driving component.

[0035] The lower mold 1 can be a block structure with a placement groove 11 for placing the product 7. The placement groove 11 opens to one side to facilitate the insertion or removal of the product 7. The shape of the placement groove 11 can be adapted to the shape of the product 7 to facilitate the positioning of the product 7.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning component 2 has a first positioning part 21 and a second positioning part 22. The first positioning part 21 is used to position the product 7, and the second positioning part 22 is used to position the button accessory 8. The positioning component 2 can be block-shaped, and the first positioning part 21 and the second positioning part 22 can be arranged at a distance from one end of the positioning component 2. Specifically, the first positioning part 21 can be needle-shaped, and the product 7 is provided with a positioning hole. The first positioning part 21 can be inserted into the positioning hole to position the product 7. The second positioning part 22 can be adapted to the inner wall shape of the button accessory 8. After the button accessory 8 is assembled on the second positioning part 22, the second positioning part 22 realizes the positioning of the button accessory 8.

[0037] It is understandable that, in order to ensure the precise placement of the button accessory 8 on the product 7, the relative positional relationship between the first positioning part 21 and the second positioning part 22 on the positioning member 2 is determined by the relative positional relationship between the positioning hole and the mounting hole on the product 7. For example, in this embodiment, the product 7 is provided with two positioning holes, and the mounting hole is located between the two positioning holes. Correspondingly, the positioning member 2 is provided with two first positioning parts 21, and the second positioning part 22 is located between the two first positioning parts 21.

[0038] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the driving assembly is used to drive the positioning member 2 to move, and the positioning member 2 has a first position and a second position during its movement. In the first position, the first positioning part 21 of the positioning member 2 is located in the placement groove 11 and is positioned and engaged with the product 7, and the button accessory 8 is positioned and engaged with the second positioning part 22. In the second position, the second positioning part 22 of the positioning member 2 is separated from the button accessory 8, and the button accessory 8 is attached to the product 7.

[0039] Product 7 is placed in the placement groove 11 of the lower mold 1, and the drive assembly can drive the positioning member 2 to move to the first position. In the first position, the first positioning part 21 is located in the placement groove 11 and can be positioned and engaged with product 7. Then, the button accessory 8 can be installed on the second positioning part 22 to achieve the positioning of the button accessory 8. Then, the drive assembly drives the positioning member 2 to move from the first position to the second position. During this process, the button accessory 8 moves toward the mounting hole of product 7. In the second position, the second positioning part 22 separates from the button accessory 8, and the button accessory 8 and product 7 are fully engaged.

[0040] During the assembly process of the aforementioned button accessory 8 and product 7, the first positioning part 21 and the second positioning part 22 of the positioning member 2 can respectively position the product 7 and the button accessory 8, making the mounting position of the button accessory 8 on the product 7 more accurate and the yield of the product 7 higher. The driving component can drive the positioning member 2 to move back and forth between the first position and the second position, quickly realizing the mounting of button accessories 8 for multiple products 7, and improving mounting efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the lower mold 1 is provided with a through hole 12, which communicates with the interior of the placement groove 11. The positioning member 2 is slidably fitted within the through hole 12, and the positioning member 2 has a first position and a second position during its sliding stroke. By providing the through hole 12 on the lower mold 1, the positioning block can be guided, making it easier for the drive assembly to drive the positioning block to reciprocate between the first position and the second position, which helps to improve the installation accuracy of the button accessory 8.

[0042] It is understood that the location of the through hole 12 should be determined according to the location of the mounting hole of the product 7. For example, in this embodiment, the mounting hole of the product 7 is located on one side of the product 7. After the product 7 is placed in the placement groove 11, the mounting hole is located at the lower part of the placement groove 11. Correspondingly, the through hole 12 communicates with the lower part of the placement groove 11 so that the positioning member 2 can cooperate with the through hole 12 to install the button accessory 8.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly includes a driving component and a shovel base 4. The button accessory assembly device also includes a base plate 5. The lower mold 1 is fixed to the base plate 5 by a bracket 6, and the shovel base 4 is located at the lower part of the lower mold 1. The shovel base 4 is provided with an inclined surface 411. The lower part of the positioning component 2 slides and engages with the inclined surface 411. The driving assembly is used to drive the shovel base 4 to move. During the movement of the shovel base 4, the positioning component 2 is lifted upward along the inclined surface 411 of the shovel base 4, reaching the first position. During the reverse movement of the shovel base 4, the positioning component 2 is lowered along the inclined surface 411 of the shovel base 4, reaching the second position.

[0044] There are various ways for the positioning element 2 and the shovel base 4 to slide and engage. In this embodiment, the shovel base 4 is provided with a slide rail 41, and an inclined surface 411 is formed on the slide rail 41. The positioning element 2 is provided with a slot, and the slide rail 41 slides and engages in the slot. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail 41 can be T-shaped. The slot is assembled on the slide rail 41. With the cross-section of the slide rail 41 set to T-shape, the positioning element 2 is less likely to slip off the slide rail 41 during the movement of the shovel base 4, and the drive of the shovel base 4 on the positioning element 2 is more stable.

[0045] In other embodiments, the shovel base 4 may also be provided with a sliding groove, the inner wall of which forms the inclined surface 411. The positioning member 2 is provided with a protrusion that engages within the sliding groove. During the movement of the shovel base 4, the positioning member 2 moves up or down along the sliding groove between a first position and a second position.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving component is a cylinder 3, which includes a cylinder body 31 and a piston rod 32. The cylinder body 31 is fixedly connected to the base plate 5, one end of the piston rod 32 is fitted inside the cylinder body 31, and the other end of the piston rod 32 is connected to the shovel base 4. Specifically, the button accessory assembly device also includes a pad, which is disposed between the cylinder body 31 and the base plate 5.

[0047] When the cylinder 3 is working, the piston rod 32 drives the shovel base 4 to move back and forth in the left and right direction as shown in the figure. The shovel base 4 then drives the positioning member 2 to move back and forth between the first position and the second position.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the button component assembly device includes a bracket 6, which is connected between the lower mold 1 and the base plate 5. The bracket 6 is used to fix the lower mold 1 to the base plate 5. The bracket 6 includes a first support member 61 and a second support member 62, which are arranged at intervals on the base plate 5.

[0049] Both the first support member 61 and the second support member 62 can be strip-shaped support blocks. One end of the support block is fixedly connected to the lower mold 1, and a fixing hole can be provided on the base plate 5. The other end of the support block is assembled into the fixing hole. The first support member 61 and the second support member 62 are provided to support and fix the lower mold 1, so that the lower mold 1 has a certain height, so that the shovel base 4 can be set at the lower part of the lower mold 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first support member 61 and the second support member 62 form an acute angle with the base plate 5. To facilitate the installation of the button accessory 8 by having the mounting hole of the product 7 face downwards, the product 7 is placed sideways into the placement groove 11 of the lower mold 1, which could easily cause it to tip over and fall out of the groove 11. Therefore, by using the first support member 61 and the second support member 62 to tilt the lower mold 1, the product 7 can rest against the lower mold 1 and is less likely to fall off.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, two second positioning parts 22 are provided, and the two second positioning parts 22 are arranged at intervals on the positioning member 2. The two positioning parts are used to assemble two button accessories 8 simultaneously. In this embodiment, two button accessories 8 need to be installed on the product 7, and correspondingly, two mounting holes are arranged at intervals on the product 7. For this purpose, two second positioning parts 22 can be provided at intervals on the positioning member 2 to facilitate the simultaneous installation of the two button accessories 8.

[0052] The working process of the button accessory assembly device of this utility model is described below.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when installing the button accessory 8, the product 7, such as the back cover, is first placed in the placement slot 11 of the lower mold 1. Then, the drive assembly drives the shovel base 4 to move to the right, and the shovel base 4 drives the positioning member 2 to move upward to the first position. Alternatively, the drive assembly first drives the positioning member 2 to the first position, and then the product 7 is placed in the placement slot 11 of the lower mold 1.

[0054] When the positioning component 2 is in the first position, the first positioning part 21 engages with the product 7, and then the button accessory 8 is fitted onto the second positioning part 22, thus completing the positioning of the button accessory 8. Subsequently, the drive assembly drives the shovel base 4 to move to the left, which in turn drives the positioning component 2 to move downward. Since double-sided adhesive is pre-installed inside the mounting hole of the product 7, the button accessory 8 will come into contact with the double-sided adhesive as the positioning component 2 moves downward. When the positioning component 2 moves to the second position, the second positioning part 22 separates from the button accessory 8, and the button accessory 8 is attached to the mounting hole using double-sided adhesive, thus completing the assembly of the product 7 and the button accessory 8.

[0055] After a product 7 is assembled, it is removed, and the above operation is repeated to install the button accessories 8 of the next product 7.

[0056] During the assembly process of the aforementioned button accessory 8 and product 7, the first positioning part 21 and the second positioning part 22 of the positioning member 2 can respectively position the product 7 and the button accessory 8, making the mounting position of the button accessory 8 on the product 7 more accurate and the yield of the product 7 higher. The driving component can drive the positioning member 2 to move back and forth between the first position and the second position, quickly realizing the mounting of button accessories 8 for multiple products 7, and improving mounting efficiency.

[0057] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
