Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product processing and testing technology, and in particular to a docking device. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of a liquid crystal display module, the IC (chip) and connectors with electrical connection functions are installed onto the liquid crystal display panel. After this process is completed, the semi-finished product needs to be connected to the connection interface on the substrate under test for testing, thereby verifying whether the liquid crystal display panel can display normally.

[0003] Because connectors are flexible, they are prone to deformation, warping, and bending. To ensure accurate testing of the connectors and chips, the connectors need to be smoothed and fixed before quality inspection. Currently, mating devices are commonly used to smooth the connectors.

[0004] However, existing docking devices only smooth and fix the plate of the connector, and cannot complete the docking operation between the connecting end on the connector and the connecting interface. The docking operation still needs to be performed manually, which is time-consuming and has high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a docking device that solves the problem that existing docking devices are unable to complete the docking operation between the connecting end and the connecting interface on the connector, and still require manual docking operation, which is time-consuming and has high labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a docking device that acts on a connector, the connector comprising a main body and a connecting end, and the docking device comprising:

[0007] A smoothing mechanism is used to press and smooth the main body portion to move the connecting end to a position opposite the connecting interface; and

[0008] The abutting mechanism, at least in part, is used to move to abut the side of the connecting end facing away from the connecting interface, so that the connecting end contacts and is fixed to the connecting interface.

[0009] In one embodiment, the abutting mechanism includes a driving component and an abutting member. The driving component is pulsatorically connected to the abutting member, and the driving component is used to drive the abutting member to move toward the connecting end, so that the abutting member abuts against the side of the connecting end opposite to the connecting interface.

[0010] In one embodiment, the abutting mechanism further includes a sensor, which is disposed corresponding to the abutting member; the sensor is used to sense the position of the abutting member in the thickness direction of the connector, the thickness direction of the connector being disposed along the arrangement direction of the connecting end and the connecting interface.

[0011] In one embodiment, the abutting mechanism further includes a movable member connected to the abutting member to move with the abutting member; the sensor is disposed toward the movable member to sense the position of the abutting member in the thickness direction of the connecting member.

[0012] In one embodiment, one end of the movable member is connected to the abutment member, and the other end of the movable member is bent in the direction toward the sensor; the sensor is disposed toward the end of the movable member away from the abutment member to sense the position of the end of the movable member away from the abutment member in the thickness direction of the connector.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sensor is configured as an optical fiber head, and the light emission direction of the optical fiber head is oriented toward the moving member.

[0014] In one embodiment, the main body is placed on a horizontal plane, and the main body and the connecting end are arranged along a first horizontal direction;

[0015] The docking device further includes an adjustment component, and the abutting mechanism is mounted on the adjustment component. The adjustment component is used to adjust the position of the abutting mechanism in a second horizontal direction, which intersects with the first horizontal direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly includes a first fixed member and a first movable member, the first fixed member extending along the second horizontal direction; the first movable member is movably connected to the first fixed member, the first movable member being used to move along the second horizontal direction, and the abutment mechanism is connected to the first movable member.

[0017] In one embodiment, the smoothing mechanism includes a mounting frame and a rotating body, the rotating body being rotatably connected to the mounting frame; the rotating body is used to press against the main body and move along the direction from the main body to the connecting end to smooth the main body.

[0018] In one embodiment, the docking device further includes a horizontal displacement module, which includes a second fixed member and a second movable member. The second fixed member extends along the direction from the main body to the connecting end, and the second movable member is movably mounted on the second fixed member to move along the extending direction of the second fixed member. The smoothing mechanism and the abutting mechanism are both mounted on the second movable member.

[0019] The docking device further includes a lifting module, which is connected to the second fixing member and is used to drive the second fixing member to move up and down;

[0020] The lifting module includes a third fixed member and a third movable member. The third fixed member extends along the height direction, and the third movable member is movably connected to the third fixed member and can move along the height direction. The third movable member is connected to the second fixed member.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model employs a smoothing mechanism to press and smooth the main body of the connector, causing the connecting end of the connector to move to a position opposite to the connecting interface; then, an abutting mechanism is added, with at least a portion of the abutting mechanism moving to abut the side of the connecting end facing away from the connecting interface, so that the connecting end contacts and is fixed to the connecting interface. In this way, this utility model completes the docking of the connecting end of the connector with the connecting interface through the abutting mechanism, eliminating the need for manual operation, saving time and reducing labor costs.

[0041] The existing docking device smooths and fixes the plate of the connector, while the docking of the buckle on the connector and the connection interface is done manually. It cannot complete the docking operation between the connection end on the connector and the connection interface. The docking operation still needs to be done manually, which is time-consuming and has high labor costs.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, this utility model proposes a docking device 100, which acts on a connector 70. The connector 70 includes a main body 71 and a connecting end 72. The docking device 100 includes:

[0043] Smoothing mechanism 10, used to press and smooth the main body 71, so that the connecting end 72 moves to a position opposite to the connecting interface 81; and

[0044] The abutting mechanism 30, at least part of which is used to move to abut the side of the connecting end 72 facing away from the connecting interface 81, so that the connecting end 72 contacts and is fixed to the connecting interface 81.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the chip and a connector with electrical connection function are installed on the display panel. Then, the display panel with the chip and connector 70 installed is placed on a test platform, and the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 is fixed to the connecting interface 81 by the docking device 100 for testing, thereby verifying whether the display panel 90 can display normally. In one embodiment, the smoothing mechanism 10 of the docking device 100 first smooths the main body 71 of the connector 70, and then the abutting mechanism 30 fixes the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 to the connecting interface 81, so that the connecting end 72 is connected to the connecting interface 81, thereby facilitating subsequent testing of the display panel 90. Optionally, the connecting end 72 can be a clip or a ribbon cable.

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment, the smoothing mechanism 10 presses against the main body 71 of the connector 70 and moves or rolls towards the connecting end 72 of the connector 70. During the movement or rolling of the smoothing mechanism 10, the smoothing mechanism 10 presses against the main body 71 of the connector 70 and smooths the main body 71 of the connector 70 to smooth out some warped structures, bent structures, deformed structures, etc. on the main body 71. The smoothing mechanism 10 stops rolling when the abutting mechanism 30 is located on the side of the connecting end 72 facing away from the connecting interface 81; at this time, the abutting mechanism 30 can move relative to the smoothing mechanism 10, and the abutting mechanism 30 acts on the connecting end 72 of the connector to engage the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 into the connecting interface 81. The connecting end 72 of the connector 70 contacts and is fixed to the connecting interface 81, which facilitates subsequent testing of the display panel 90.

[0047] The connector 70 can be placed above the test platform, and then the smoothing mechanism 10 presses against the main body 71 of the connector 70 to smooth it out. Afterwards, when the abutting mechanism 30 is above the connecting end 72, the smoothing mechanism 10 stops moving or rolling. At this time, the abutting mechanism 30 can descend relative to the smoothing mechanism 10, pressing the connecting end 72 to engage the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 with the connecting interface 81. To separate the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 from the connecting interface 81, it can be done manually.

[0048] Alternatively, the connector 70 can be attached to the underside of the test platform. Then, in order to smooth the main body 71 of the connector 70 and ensure that the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 is connected and fixed to the connecting interface 81, the docking device 100 can be placed under the test platform, the smoothing mechanism 10 smooths the main body 71 of the connector 70, and the abutting mechanism 30 is located under the test platform. The abutting mechanism 30 rises and acts on the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 to press the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 into the connecting interface 81, thereby making the connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81 interlock and connect.

[0049] The technical solution of this utility model employs a smoothing mechanism 10 to press and smooth the main body 71 of the connector 70, causing the connecting end 72 to move to a position opposite to the connecting interface 81. The 10 further includes an abutting mechanism 30, at least a portion of which is used to abut the side of the connecting end 72 facing away from the connecting interface 81, so that the connecting end 72 contacts and is fixed to the connecting interface 81. Thus, the abutting mechanism 30 completes the docking of the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 with the connecting interface 81, eliminating the need for manual operation, saving time and reducing labor costs.

[0050] In order for the abutting mechanism 30 to act on the connecting end 72, the abutting mechanism 30 is located on one side of the smoothing mechanism 10. The abutting mechanism 30 includes a driving component 31 and an abutting member 32. The abutting member 32 is connected to the driving component 31. The driving component 31 is used to drive the abutting member 32 to move toward the connecting end 72 so that the abutting member 32 abuts against the side of the connecting end 72 facing away from the connecting interface 81.

[0051] In one embodiment, the drive component 31 is a cylinder. The test platform is placed horizontally, and the abutment 32 can be positioned above or below the connecting end 72. The drive component 31 drives the abutment 32 to move towards the connecting end 72, so that the abutment 32 acts on the connecting end 72 and presses the connecting end 72 into the connecting interface 81, thereby making the connecting end 72 contact and fix it with the connecting interface 81. Since the abutment 32 can be raised and lowered by the drive component 31, no manual operation is required, reducing labor costs. Because the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 has a small area, in order to facilitate pressing the connecting end 72 into the connecting interface 81, the abutment 32 includes a positioning part 320 and a pressing head 321. The positioning part 320 is connected to the shaft part 310 of the drive component, and the pressing head 321 of the abutment 32 acts on the connecting end 72 to make the connecting end 72 contact and fix it with the connecting interface 81. The shape of the pressing head 321 can be a cuboid, a prism, a cylinder, etc.

[0052] In order to detect whether the connecting end 72 has been successfully pressed down, the abutting mechanism 30 also includes a sensor 35, which is set corresponding to the abutting member 32. The sensor 35 is used to sense the position of the abutting member 32 in the thickness direction of the connecting member 70, which is set along the arrangement direction of the connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81.

[0053] The docking device 100 also includes a limiting frame 20, on which a sensor 35 can be mounted and positioned facing the abutment member 32. When the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 fails to be pressed down to contact the connection interface by the abutment member 32, the raised connecting end 72 will press against the abutment member 32, which the sensor 35 will detect. At this time, the drive assembly 31 stops working so that the operator can check whether there is a pressing operation error in the abutment mechanism 30, and then restart the abutment mechanism 30 after maintenance. The detection range of the sensor 35 can be 3mm.

[0054] For the convenience of sensor 35 in detecting contact member 32, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The abutment mechanism 30 also includes a movable member 33 connected to move with the abutment member 32; a sensor 35 is disposed toward the movable member 33 to sense the position of the abutment member 32 in the thickness direction of the connector 70.

[0055] The movable member 33 is connected to the abutment member 32. While the drive assembly 31 drives the abutment member 32 to move, the movable member 33 also moves along with the abutment member 32. The sensor 35 is positioned facing the movable member 33.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 fails to be pressed down to contact the connection interface by the abutment 32, the raised connecting end 72 of the connector 70 will lift the abutment 32 and the moving part 33, and the sensor 35 will detect the lifted moving part 33. At this time, the drive assembly 31 stops working so that the operator can check whether there is a pressing operation error in the abutment mechanism 30, and then restart the abutment mechanism 30 after maintenance. When the connecting end on the connector is successfully pressed down to contact the connection interface by the abutment 32, the moving part 33 descends with the abutment 32, and the sensor 35 will not detect the moving part 33. The docking device 100 detects whether the connecting end 72 on the connector 70 has been successfully pressed down by judging whether the sensor 35 detects the moving part 33, which is more convenient and faster, and does not require real-time manual monitoring of the operation of the docking device 100.

[0057] To ensure that the sensor 35 can detect the moving part 33 when it is raised, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the movable member 33 is connected to the abutment member 32, and the other end is bent in the direction toward the sensor 35. The sensor 35 is positioned toward the movable member to sense the position of the end of the movable member 33 away from the abutment member 32 in the thickness direction of the connector 70.

[0058] In one embodiment, one end of the movable member 33 is connected to the abutment member 32, and the other end is bent towards the sensor 35. The movable member 33 is located on the side of the drive assembly 31 and has an L-shaped shape. The sensor 35 is mounted on the drive assembly 31 without the need for a separate mounting bracket, making the docking device 100 compact. The sensor 35 is positioned above the movable member 33, facing the end of the movable member 33 away from the abutment member 32; the sensor 35 senses the position of the end of the movable member 33 away from the abutment member 32 in the thickness direction of the connector 70. Since there are no other components on the side of the drive assembly 31, interference from the movement of other components with the sensor 35 is reduced, ensuring that the sensor 35 can effectively sense the movable member 33. Specifically, when the connecting end of the connector fails to be pressed down by the abutment 32 to contact the connecting interface 81, the abutment 32 is lifted up by the connecting end 72 of the connector 70, and the connecting part 330 of the moving part 33 is also lifted up along with the abutment 32. The moving part 33 located on the side of the drive assembly 31 is also lifted up along with the connecting part 330. The sensor 35 can sense the lifted moving part 33, and thus can determine whether the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 has been successfully pressed down by whether the sensor 35 senses the moving part 33.

[0059] In order to mount the fiber optic head above the movable part 33 to sense the lifted movable part 33, the abutment mechanism 30 also includes a mounting clip 34, which is fixed relative to the drive assembly 31; the sensor 35 includes a clamping structure 351 and a sensor 350, the clamping structure 351 is detachably mounted on the mounting clip 34 and can move along the arrangement direction of the connection end 72 and the connection interface 81, and the sensor 350 is connected to the clamping structure 351.

[0060] In one embodiment, the clamping structure 351 of the sensor 35 can be configured as a gripper to hold the mounting clip 34 and be movable on the mounting clip along the arrangement direction of the connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81. The sensor 350 can be connected to the gripper by means of threaded connection, snap-fit, adhesive, etc., to be fixed to the mounting clip 34, and can be located above the moving part 33, thereby sensing the lifted moving part 33.

[0061] In order to adjust the mounting height of sensor 35, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting clip 34 is provided with an adjustment groove 340, which is arranged along the direction of the connection end 72 and the connection interface 81; the clamping structure 351 includes two mounting members, which are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting clip 34; both mounting members are provided with mounting holes, which communicate with the adjustment groove 340; the sensor 350 passes through the adjustment groove 340 and is respectively connected to the two mounting members, and at least one mounting member is clamped to the sensor 350 and can move away from the other mounting clip 34.

[0062] In one embodiment, the two mounting members of the clamping structure 351 are clamped together on the mounting bracket 34. The sensor 350 passes through the adjustment groove 340 and connects to the two mounting members to fix them to the mounting bracket 34. The positions of the two mounting members on the mounting bracket 34 can be adjusted to adjust the position of the sensor 350 within the adjustment groove 340, thereby adjusting the height difference between the sensor 350 and the moving member 33. The adjustment groove 340 is used to limit the height of the sensor 350 to prevent the sensor 350 from being installed too high and unable to sense the lifting height of the moving member 33.

[0063] In one embodiment, the mounting hole is a threaded hole, and the two mounting members and the sensor 350 can be connected by threads. The two mounting members are respectively installed on both sides of the mounting clip 34, and then the two mounting members are threadedly connected to the sensor 350 to clamp the two mounting members onto the mounting clip 34. The sensor 350 is located within the adjustment groove 340 of the mounting clip 34, and the light emission direction of the sensor 350 is directed towards the moving member 33 to sense the lifting height of the moving member 33. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the sensor 350 in the adjustment groove 340 to adjust the height difference between the sensor 350 and the moving member 33, the connection between the two mounting members and the sensor 350 can be loosened, and the two mounting members together with the sensor 350 can be moved up or down to adjust the installation height of the sensor 350. After adjusting the installation height of the sensor 350, the connection between the two mounting members and the sensor 350 can be tightened to fix the sensor 350 onto the mounting clip 34 and prevent it from falling off.

[0064] Because the fiber optic head has high sensing accuracy, the sensor 35 of this invention is set as a fiber optic head, which faces the moving part 33, and the light emission direction of the fiber optic head is set towards the moving part 33.

[0065] Specifically, the sensor 350 in sensor 35 can be set as an optical fiber head. The optical fiber head is clamped onto the mounting clip 34 by two mounting members to fix the optical fiber head onto the mounting clip 34. When the connecting end 72 on connector 70 is successfully pressed into contact with the connecting interface 81 by the abutment 32, the moving part 33 descends with the abutment 32, and the light emitted from the optical fiber head is not reflected back, so the optical fiber head cannot sense the moving part 33. When the connecting end 72 of connector 70 fails to be pressed into contact with the connecting interface 81 by the abutment 32, the abutment 32 is lifted by the connecting end 72 of connector 70, and the moving part 33 moves upward with the abutment 32; the light emitted from the optical fiber head is reflected back to the optical fiber head by the moving part 33, and the optical fiber head receives the light reflected by the moving part 33, thus being able to sense the lifted moving part 33. This utility model uses the light emitted by the optical fiber head to detect the moving part 33, so as to more accurately sense that the moving part 33 has been lifted.

[0066] Furthermore, the docking device 100 also includes a signal processor 40, which is electrically connected to the sensor 35 to receive the sensing signal from the sensor 35.

[0067] The signal processor 40 is electrically connected to the fiber optic head so that the fiber optic head can emit light. After the emitted light is reflected back to the fiber optic head by the lifting moving member 33, the fiber optic head can send a sensing signal to the signal processor 40. The signal processor 40 receives the sensing signal from the fiber optic head and processes it into data so that the operator can view the data in the signal processor 40, thereby facilitating subsequent adjustments to the pressing operation of the abutment mechanism 30. The working principle of the signal processor 40 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Since the length and width of each model of connector 70 are different, the position of the connecting end 72 of connector 70 on the test platform also varies. Therefore, the abutment 32 needs to be adjusted so that it can press the connecting end 72 of connector 70 onto the connecting interface 81. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main body 71 is used to be placed on a horizontal plane, and the main body 71 and the connecting end 72 are arranged along a first horizontal direction; the docking device 100 also includes an adjustment component 21, the abutting mechanism 30 is installed on the adjustment component 21, and the adjustment component 21 is used to adjust the position of the abutting mechanism 30 in a second horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction intersecting the first horizontal direction.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first horizontal direction is the X direction, the second horizontal direction is the Y direction, and the arrangement direction of the connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81 is the Z direction. The smoothing mechanism moves in the X direction and presses against the main body 71 to smooth it. The adjusting component 21 adjusts the abutting mechanism 30 to move in the Y direction so that the abutting mechanism 30 can correspond to the connecting end 72. Then the abutting mechanism 30 can descend in the Z direction to press against the connecting end 72, thereby pressing the connecting end 72 into the connecting interface 81. The connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81 are interconnected. The docking of the connecting end 72 and the connecting interface 81 is simple and quick, requiring no manual operation.

[0070] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 21 includes a first fixed member 211 and a first movable member 212. The first fixed member 211 extends along a second horizontal direction. The first movable member 212 is movably connected to the first fixed member 211 and is used to move along the second horizontal direction. The abutment mechanism 30 is connected to the first movable member 212.

[0071] Optionally, the first fixing member 211 is movably mounted to the limiting frame 20. The first fixing member 211 can be movable or rotatable relative to the limiting frame 20. The first fixing member 211 is a movable crossbar. The abutment mechanism 30 is mounted to the movable crossbar via the first movable member 212, pushing or pulling the movable crossbar, causing it to move laterally and thus moving the first movable member 212 and the abutment mechanism 30 laterally to adjust the position of the abutment mechanism 30.

[0072] In one embodiment, the first fixing member 211 is a rotatable lead screw, which is rotatably mounted on the limiting frame 20. The adjusting assembly 21 also includes an adjusting knob 210, which is movably mounted on the limiting frame 20 and connected to the lead screw. The lead screw is drivenly connected to the first movable member 212, which is connected to the abutment mechanism 30. Specifically, the adjusting knob 210 is connected to the lead screw, and the first movable member 212 is threadedly connected to the lead screw. Rotating the adjusting knob 210 causes the first fixing member 211 to drive the first movable member 212 to move in the second horizontal direction via threaded transmission, thereby driving the abutment mechanism 30 to move in the second horizontal direction and adjusting the position of the abutment mechanism 30 in the second horizontal direction. Furthermore, the signal processor 40 can be mounted above the limiting frame 20 to reduce the space occupied by the abutment mechanism 30, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0073] In order to smooth out the main body 71 of the connector 70, the smoothing mechanism 10 includes a second mounting bracket 11 and a rotating body 12. The mounting bracket 11 is connected to the limiting bracket 20, and the rotating body 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11. The rotating body 12 is used to press against the main body 71 and move along the direction from the main body 71 to the connecting end 72 to smooth out the main body.

[0074] In one embodiment, the smoothing mechanism 10 moves as a whole toward the connecting end 72 of the connector 70. During the movement of the smoothing mechanism 10, the rotating body 12 presses against the main body 71 toward the connecting end 72, thereby smoothing out any warped, bent, or deformed structures on the upper part of the main body 71 of the connector 70. The limiting frame 20 is mounted on the second mounting frame 11, and the abutting mechanism 30 is mounted on the side of the smoothing mechanism 10 near the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 via the limiting frame 20. This spacers the abutting member 32 from the rotating body 12 of the smoothing mechanism 10, preventing mutual interference between the rotating body 12 and the abutting member 32 during operation and ensuring normal rolling of the rotating body 12 and normal downward pressure of the abutting member 32. The signal processor 40 can be mounted above the limiting frame 20 to reduce the space occupied by the abutting mechanism 30, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0075] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5The docking device 100 also includes a horizontal displacement module 60, which includes a second fixed member and a second movable member. The second fixed member extends along the direction from the main body 71 to the connecting end 72. The second movable member is movably mounted on the second fixed member to move along the extension direction of the second fixed member. The smoothing mechanism 10 and the abutting mechanism 30 are both mounted on the second movable member.

[0076] The docking device 100 also includes a lifting module 50, which is connected to the second fixed member and drives the second fixed member to lift. The lifting module 50 includes a third fixed member and a third movable member. The third fixed member extends along the height direction, and the third movable member is movably connected to the third fixed member and can move along the height direction. The third movable member is connected to the second fixed member.

[0077] The abutting mechanism 30 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 11 of the smoothing mechanism 10 via the limiting bracket 20. The second mounting bracket 11 of the smoothing mechanism 10 is mounted on the horizontal displacement module 60. The second fixing member of the horizontal displacement module 60 is connected to the lifting module 50. The second movable member of the horizontal displacement module 60 is lifted and lowered. The lifting module 50 drives the second fixing member of the horizontal displacement module 60 to lift and lower, thereby driving the smoothing mechanism 10 and the abutting mechanism 30 to lift and lower.

[0078] The second fixing member of the horizontal displacement module 60 extends along the direction from the main body 71 to the connecting end 72. The second movable member can move on the second fixing member toward the connecting end 72 of the connector 70, so that the smoothing mechanism 10 can move on the horizontal displacement module 60 toward the connecting end 72 of the connector 70. The smoothing mechanism 10 stops rolling when the pressing head 321 is located on the side of the connecting end 72 of the connector facing away from the connecting interface 81. At this time, the drive assembly 31 drives the abutment member 32 to descend, and the abutment member 32 presses the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 to press and snap the connecting end 72 of the connector 70 into the connecting interface 81. The connecting end 72 of the connector 70 is aligned with the inside of the connecting interface 81, which facilitates subsequent testing of the display panel 90.
