Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a spring testing device for a camera battery compartment. Background Technology

[0002] A camera, or simply camera, is a device that uses optical imaging principles to form images and records them using film. It is an optical instrument used for photography. In modern society, there are many devices that can record images, and they all have the characteristics of a camera, such as medical imaging equipment and astronomical observation equipment. They are suitable for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts who have high requirements for image quality, and can shoot both still and moving scenes.

[0003] This includes the battery compartment. During the production process, the entire battery compartment is inverted and inserted into the fixture. Then, the entire product is pressed down multiple times by pulse pressing to test whether the spring can still pop the entire product out. However, the existing equipment is done manually or by other means, which is inconvenient and has a low degree of automation.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a spring testing device for the camera battery compartment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application proposes a spring testing device for a camera battery compartment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. By setting up a moving mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a stripping mechanism, and a discharging mechanism to cooperate with each other, the device can achieve automated testing. No manual operation is required during the entire testing process, thereby improving testing efficiency, reducing labor costs, alleviating labor intensity, and greatly enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A spring testing device for a camera battery compartment includes a base, a bracket, a fixture, and a punch head. The bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a movable groove is provided inside the bracket. Multiple support rods are fixedly connected to the bracket, and the bottom end of each support rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base. A fixture is provided on the bracket and is located above the movable groove. A punch head is provided on the bracket and is located above the fixture.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket is provided with a moving mechanism, which includes a first screw and a T-shaped slider. The first screw is rotatably connected inside the bracket, and the T-shaped slider is threadedly connected to the outside of the first screw. The top of the T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixture through a movable groove.

[0009] The first screw is driven by a motor to rotate. When the first screw rotates, it will cause the T-shaped slider to move away from the stripping mechanism. The fixture is set to be located below the punch head. When the fixture is located below the punch head, the entire product will be pressed down multiple times by pulse pressing, thereby testing whether the spring can still eject the entire product, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the support is provided with a feeding mechanism, which includes a feed inlet, a hopper, a movable plate, a housing, a first rotating shaft, a first gear, a first rack, a connecting rod, and a pressure block;

[0011] By setting up a feeding mechanism, the battery compartment can be placed manually without the need for manual placement. This not only speeds up the battery compartment feeding process and improves testing efficiency, but also saves labor costs and reduces labor intensity, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the feed inlet is located inside the bracket and above the fixture. A hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, and the hopper communicates with the feed inlet. Two movable plates are rotatably connected inside the feed inlet.

[0013] The pressure from the battery compartment is applied to the movable plates, causing the opposite side of the two movable plates to rotate away from the battery compartment and open up. The battery compartment at the bottom then falls down and is fitted onto the fixture, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a housing is fixedly connected to the outside of the hopper, a first rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the housing, a first gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the first rotating shaft, a first rack is slidably connected inside the housing, and the first rack and the first gear are meshed together, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the first rack, and a pressure block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the pressure block is located above the hopper;

[0015] The first shaft is driven by a motor to rotate the first gear. The first gear meshes with the first rack, causing the first rack to move downward inside the housing. When the first rack moves downward, it will drive the connecting rod connected to it to press the pressure block down the battery compartment in the hopper, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a material ejection mechanism, which includes a second screw, an L-shaped slider, a U-shaped block, an electric telescopic rod, a clamping block, a second rotating shaft, a second gear, and a second rack.

[0017] By setting up a material unloading mechanism, manual unloading is no longer required after the battery compartment inspection is completed. This not only speeds up the unloading process and improves inspection efficiency, but also saves labor costs, reduces labor intensity, and enhances the practicality of the device.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the second screw is rotatably connected inside the base, and an L-shaped slider is threaded onto the outside of the second screw. A U-shaped block is fixedly connected to the L-shaped slider, and two electric telescopic rods are provided on the inner side of the U-shaped block. Clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods. Two second rotating shafts are rotatably connected inside the U-shaped block, and second gears are fixedly connected to the outside of the two second rotating shafts. A second rack is fixedly connected to the end of the two electric telescopic rods away from the clamping blocks, and the two second gears are meshed with the second racks.

[0019] The motor drives the second screw, which in turn moves the L-shaped slider towards the fixture, positioning the U-shaped block outside the battery compartment. Once the U-shaped block is outside the battery compartment, the electric telescopic rod clamps the battery compartment with two clamping blocks. After clamping, the motor drives the second shaft, which in turn rotates the second gear. The second gear meshes with the second rack, causing the second rack to move upward within the U-shaped block. As the second rack moves upward, it connects to the electric telescopic rod, thereby causing the clamped battery compartment to move upward synchronously, disengaging the battery compartment from the fixture and improving the device's practicality.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding port and a feeding conveying pipe. The feeding port is located inside the base, and the feeding conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, and the feeding conveying pipe is connected to the feeding port.

[0021] Driven by the motor, the L-shaped slider moves away from the fixture. When the U-shaped block is above the discharge port, the two clamping blocks move away from each other under the action of the electric telescopic rod. At this time, the tested battery compartment is transported from the discharge port through the discharge conveyor pipe, realizing automated testing. No manual operation is required during the entire testing process, thereby improving testing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and alleviating labor intensity, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0023] 1. The spring testing device in the camera battery compartment achieves automated testing by setting up a moving mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a stripping mechanism, and a discharging mechanism to cooperate with each other. The entire testing process does not require manual operation, thereby improving testing efficiency, reducing labor costs, reducing labor intensity, and greatly enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0024] 2. This spring testing device for camera battery compartments, by setting up a feeding mechanism and a unloading mechanism, eliminates the need for manual placement of the battery compartment and manual unloading after battery compartment testing. This not only speeds up the feeding and unloading of the battery compartment and improves testing efficiency, but also saves labor costs, reduces labor intensity, and greatly enhances the practicality of the device.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 A spring testing device for a camera battery compartment includes a base 1, a bracket 2, a fixture 3, and a punch head 4. The bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The bracket 2 has a movable groove 21 inside. Multiple support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the bracket 2, and the bottom end of each support rod 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The fixture 3 is provided on the bracket 2 and is located above the movable groove 21. The punch head 4 is provided on the bracket 2 and is located above the fixture 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4The support 2 is equipped with a moving mechanism 5, which includes a first screw 51 and a T-shaped slider 52. The first screw 51 is rotatably connected inside the support 2, and the T-shaped slider 52 is threadedly connected to the outside of the first screw 51. The top of the T-shaped slider 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixture 3 through the movable groove 21. The first screw 51 is driven to rotate by a motor. When the first screw 51 rotates, it will cause the T-shaped slider 52 to move away from the stripping mechanism 7. The fixture 3 is set to be below the punch head 4. When the fixture 3 is below the punch head 4, the entire product will be pressed down multiple times by pulse pressing, thereby testing whether the spring can still eject the entire product, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-2 The support 2 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 6, which includes a feed inlet 61, a hopper 62, a movable plate 63, a housing 64, a first rotating shaft 65, a first gear 66, a first rack 67, a connecting rod 68, and a pressure block 69. By setting up the feeding mechanism 6, it is not necessary to manually place the battery compartment, which can not only speed up the battery compartment feeding speed and improve the testing efficiency, but also save labor costs and reduce labor intensity, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-3 The feed inlet 61 is located inside the bracket 2 and above the fixture 3. The top of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the hopper 62, and the hopper 62 is connected to the feed inlet 61. The inside of the feed inlet 61 is rotatably connected to two movable plates 63. Under the action of pressure, the battery compartment applies pressure to the movable plates 63. At this time, the opposite side of the two movable plates 63 will rotate away from the battery compartment and be in an open state. The battery compartment at the bottom will fall down and be fitted onto the fixture 3, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 The hopper 62 is externally fixedly connected to a housing 64. Inside the housing 64, a first rotating shaft 65 is rotatably connected. Outside the first rotating shaft 65, a first gear 66 is fixedly connected. Inside the housing 64, a first rack 67 is slidably connected, and the first rack 67 and the first gear 66 are meshed. A connecting rod 68 is rotatably connected to the top of the first rack 67. One end of the connecting rod 68 is fixedly connected to a pressure block 69, which is located above the hopper 62. The motor drives the first rotating shaft 65 to rotate the first gear 66. The first gear 66 meshes with the first rack 67, causing the first rack 67 to move downward inside the housing 64. When the first rack 67 moves downward, it drives the connecting rod 68 to press down the pressure block 69, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , 34. A material removal mechanism 7 is provided on the base 1. The material removal mechanism 7 includes a second screw 71, an L-shaped slider 72, a U-shaped block 73, an electric telescopic rod 74, a clamping block 75, a second rotating shaft 76, a second gear 77, and a second rack 78. By setting up the material removal mechanism 7, manual material removal is not required after the battery compartment is inspected. This not only speeds up the material removal speed of the battery compartment and improves the inspection efficiency, but also saves labor costs, reduces labor intensity, and thus improves the practicality of the device.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-4 The second screw 71 is rotatably connected inside the base 1. An L-shaped slider 72 is threaded onto the outside of the second screw 71. A U-shaped block 73 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped slider 72. Two electric telescopic rods 74 are arranged inside the U-shaped block 73. Clamping blocks 75 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of both electric telescopic rods 74. Two second rotating shafts 76 are rotatably connected inside the U-shaped block 73. Second gears 77 are fixedly connected to the outside of both second rotating shafts 76. A second rack 78 is fixedly connected to the end of each electric telescopic rod 74 away from the clamping block 75, and the two second gears 77 are meshed with the second rack 78. The second screw 71 is driven by a motor. The L-shaped slider 72 causes the U-shaped block 73 to move towards the fixture 3, so that the U-shaped block 73 is located outside the battery compartment on the fixture 3. When the U-shaped block 73 is outside the battery compartment, the electric telescopic rod 74 causes the two clamping blocks 75 to clamp the battery compartment. After clamping, the motor drives the second rotating shaft 76 to rotate the second gear 77. The second gear 77 meshes with the second rack 78, causing the second rack 78 to move upward inside the U-shaped block 73. When the second rack 78 moves upward, it will connect with the electric telescopic rod 74 through the second rack 78, thereby driving the clamped battery compartment to move upward synchronously, so that the battery compartment is disengaged from the fixture 3, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-4 The base 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 8, which includes a feeding port 81 and a feeding conveying pipe 82. The feeding port 81 is located inside the base 1, and the feeding conveying pipe 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. The feeding conveying pipe 82 is connected to the feeding port 81. Driven by a motor, the L-shaped slider 72 moves away from the fixture 3. When the U-shaped block 73 is above the feeding port 81, the two clamping blocks 75 move away from each other under the drive of the electric telescopic rod 74. At this time, the tested battery compartment is transported from the feeding port 81 to the feeding conveying pipe 82, realizing automated testing. No manual operation is required during the entire testing process, thereby improving testing efficiency, reducing labor costs, reducing labor intensity, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0039] Working principle: When using this device, firstly, the pressure block 69 is rotated out of the material bin 62 via the connecting rod 68. Then, the battery compartment to be tested is placed inside the material bin 62. Next, the pressure block 69 is rotated to the top of the material bin 62 via the connecting rod 68. The motor drives the first rotating shaft 65 to cause the first gear 66 to rotate. The first gear 66 meshes with the first rack 67, causing the first rack 67 to move downward within the housing 64. When the first rack 67 moves downward, it will drive the connecting rod 68 connected to it, causing the pressure block 69 to press down the battery compartment inside the material bin 62. Under the pressure, the battery compartment applies pressure to the movable plate 63. At this time, the two movable plates... The opposite side of 63 will rotate away from the battery compartment, entering an open state. The bottom battery compartment will then fall and be fitted onto fixture 3. When the battery compartment is on fixture 3, the first screw 51 is driven to rotate by the motor. When the first screw 51 rotates, it will cause the T-shaped slider 52 to move away from the ejector mechanism 7. By setting the fixture 3 to be below the punch head 4, when the fixture 3 is below the punch head 4, the entire product will be pressed down multiple times through pulse pressing to test whether the spring can still eject the entire product. After the test is completed, the first screw 51 will be driven by the motor to rotate away from the battery compartment. Rod 51 causes T-shaped slider 52 to move towards unloading mechanism 7, so that fixture 3 is once again below feed inlet 61. Then, the motor drives second screw 71 to cause L-shaped slider 72 to move U-shaped block 73 towards fixture 3, so that U-shaped block 73 is located outside battery compartment on fixture 3. When U-shaped block 73 is outside battery compartment, electric telescopic rod 74 causes two clamping blocks 75 to clamp battery compartment. After clamping, the motor drives second rotating shaft 76 to rotate second gear 77. Second gear 77 meshes with second rack 78, causing second rack 78 to move upward within U-shaped block 73. When second rack 78 moves upward... When the battery compartment is in contact with the fixture 3, it will be connected to the electric telescopic rod 74 via the second rack 78, which will then drive the battery compartment in the clamp to move upward synchronously, causing the battery compartment to detach from the fixture 3. After detachment, the L-shaped slider 72 will move away from the fixture 3 under the drive of the motor. When the U-shaped block 73 is above the discharge port 81, the two clamping blocks 75 will move away from each other under the drive of the electric telescopic rod 74. At this time, the tested battery compartment will be transported from the discharge port 81 through the discharge conveying pipe 82, realizing automated testing. No manual operation is required during the entire testing process, thereby improving testing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and reducing labor intensity.

[0040] The drive structure of this device is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail. The first screw 51 and the second screw 71 are both driven by a motor, and the first rotating shaft 65 and the second rotating shaft 76 are both driven by a motor.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
