Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Example

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a horizontal insertion mechanism, including a base 3, a pressing block 5 fixed on the base 3, a first drive 9 that moves the base 3 along the insertion direction, and a positioning block for fixing and limiting the product base 10; it also includes a guide block 6, which is slidably disposed on the base 3 by a first elastic element and positioned below the pressing block 5; the guide block 6 forms a feeding area 8 with a guide portion at the front end of the pressing block 5; the inner bottom surface and inner sidewall of the feeding area 8 are adapted to the slot of the product base 10;

[0032] The guide block 6 moves along the insertion direction under the action of the first drive 9 and the first elastic element 7, and stops moving after abutting against the slot of the card slot; at this time, the pressing block 5 continues to move to push the thin plate part 11 placed in the feeding area 8 into the card slot of the product base 10 under the guidance of the guide part.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the horizontal insertion mechanism includes a support 1 and a worktable 2 mounted on the support 1. A first drive 9 is fixed to the worktable 2, and the worktable 2 has a moving groove along the insertion direction for the seat 3 to move. Fixing portions 4 are provided on both sides of the front end of the seat 3. A pressing block 5 is fixed to the fixing portions 4, and a first sliding groove is formed between the pressing block 5 and the two fixing portions 4. A guide block 6 is slidably disposed within the first sliding groove. Two first elastic elements 7 are respectively disposed on both sides of the guide block 6, and the two ends of the first elastic elements 7 are respectively connected to the side of the guide block 6 and the side of the fixing portion 4 by fixing elements (not shown in the figure, but can be fixedly connected by bolts). Thus, when the first drive 9 pushes the seat 3 to move, the guide block 6 moves synchronously with the pressing block 5 along the insertion direction under the tension of the first elastic elements 7.

[0034] The upper front surface of the guide block 6 is positioned in front of the pressing block 5 to form a feeding area 8 with a guide portion, facilitating the feeding of the thin plate part 11 into the feeding area 8. The inner bottom surface and side surface of the guide portion are aligned with the bottom surface and side surface of the slot of the product base 10 along the insertion direction. It is understood that when the guide block 6 moves to abut against the product base 10, the inner bottom surface of the guide portion and the inner bottom surface of the slot of the product base 10 are on the same plane, and the inner side surface of the guide portion is on the same plane as the inner side surface of the slot of the product base 10. Under the tension of the first elastic element 7, the guide block 6 always remains in contact with the slot opening. This provides a guiding passage for the thin plate part 11 to connect to the slot, allowing the thin plate part 11 to be pushed into the slot more smoothly, completing the insertion action. Before the insertion action, the guide block 6 moves away from the product base 10, providing feeding space for the product base 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, taking the assembly of two thin plate parts 11 stacked and then pushed into the slot as an example, the pressing block 5 is provided with a first air passage 12 connected to an external vacuum negative pressure device. The first air inlet 13 of the first air passage 12 is located on the end face of the pressing block 5 that abuts against the thin plate part 11, for adsorbing the upper thin plate part 16. The guide block 6 is provided with a second air passage 14 connected to an external vacuum negative pressure device. The second air inlet 15 of the second air passage 14 is located at the bottom of the loading area 8, for adsorbing the second thin plate part 17 placed at the bottom. In this way, the thin plate part 11 is prevented from shifting during the movement of the guide block 6 and during the pushing process by the pressing block 5, thus avoiding the situation where it cannot be inserted, and ensuring the stable positioning of the thin plate part 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block is provided with a fixing groove 18 and a second sliding groove 19 communicating with the fixing groove 18; a spring-loaded block 20 is slidably disposed on the second sliding groove 19, and the limiting part of the spring-loaded block 20 is placed in the fixing groove 18, and the product base 10 placed in the fixing groove 18 is limited and fixed by a second elastic member 21. In this way, it is convenient to load and unload the product base 10.

[0037] Preferably, the thin plate part 11 is made of magnetic material. The horizontal insertion mechanism further includes a magnetic suction component and a second drive 23; specifically, the magnetic suction component includes a connecting rod 22 connected to the second drive 23, and a magnet 24 disposed at the front end of the connecting rod 22; the positioning block is also provided with a third sliding groove 25 communicating with the fixing groove 18; the magnetic suction component can move on the third sliding groove 25 under the drive of the second drive 23 to move closer to or away from the product base 10. For individual magnetic thin plate parts 11 with smaller dimensions, after they are inserted into the slot, the second drive 23 pushes the magnetic suction component closer to the product base 10 to attract the magnetic thin plate part 11, so as to avoid the smaller magnetic thin plate part 11 being pulled out again after the pressing block 5 retracts, resulting in improper assembly.

[0038] The horizontal insertion mechanism includes a guide block 6 slidably disposed between the base 3 and the pressing block 5 via a first elastic element 7. Driven by a first drive 9, the pressing block 5 moves in the insertion direction, while the guide block 6 moves synchronously under the tension of the first elastic element 7. When the front end face of the guide block 6 abuts against the opening end face of the slot in the product base 10, it stops moving and continues to abut against the opening end face of the slot in the product base 10 under the tension of the first elastic element 7, thus forming an insertion channel connecting the slot in the product base 10. The pressing block 5 continues to move under the drive of the base 3, and the thin plate part 11 placed on the feeding area 8 of the guide block 6 is pushed into the slot along the insertion channel, achieving automated insertion. This configuration provides feeding space for the product base 10 in the insertion direction of the positioning block, facilitating feeding of the product base 10. The feeding area 8 with a guide portion on the guide block 6 allows the thin plate part 11 to be pushed into the slot more smoothly. The connection to the external vacuum negative pressure device ensures the stable positioning of the thin plate part 11 throughout the entire insertion process.
