[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a flipping fixture for processing membrane switches includes a flipping mechanism 100 and limiting mechanisms 200 fixedly installed on both sides of the flipping mechanism 100. The flipping mechanism 100 includes: a motor 101, a fixing ring 102 fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 101, a mounting plate 107 fixedly installed on one side of the fixing ring 102, an air pipe 106 fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting plate 107, an air pump 105 fixedly installed on one end of the air pipe 106, an adsorption ring 108 fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 107, and a silicone ring 109 bonded to the top of the adsorption ring 108. After the membrane switch is placed on the top of the mounting plate 107, the air pump 105 draws out the air inside the adsorption ring 108 through the air pipe 106, so that the membrane switch is adsorbed and fixed on the top of the silicone ring 109 on the top of the adsorption ring 108.

[0027] In this embodiment, a support plate 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 107. An anti-slip sheet 104 is adhered to the top of the support plate 103 to increase the friction with the membrane switch and reduce movement and misalignment. An air hole 110 is opened at the top of the air pipe 106, and a hollow groove 111 is opened inside the adsorption ring 108. The air pump 105 draws out the air from the hollow groove 111 inside the adsorption ring 108 through the air hole 110 at the top of the air pipe 106.

[0028] In this embodiment, limit grooves 112 are provided on both sides of the fixing ring 102, and a load-bearing plate 113 is fixedly installed on one side of the motor 101.

After the turnover is completed, the limiting block 201 on one side of the linear sliding rail 203 drives the sliding plate 202 to slide into the limiting groove 112 on one side of the fixed ring 102 for limiting.

[0030] In the embodiment, when the film switch is placed on the top of the mounting plate 107, the air pump 105 sucks out the air in the adsorption ring 108 through the air pipe 106, so that the film switch is adsorbed on the top of the silica gel ring 109 on the top of the adsorption ring 108 for adsorption and fixation, and when the motor 101 drives the film switch on the top of the mounting plate 107 to rotate, the film switch is not easy to dislocate and fall off.
