[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the appended spirit and connotation.
[0022] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a button positioning and assembly fixture based on an automotive control panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the button positioning assembly tooling based on the automotive control panel of this utility model includes a base frame 10, a limiting conveying mechanism 20, a transfer component 30, and a drive component 40.
[0024] The limiting conveying mechanism 20 is mounted on the base frame 10 and includes a limiting frame 201, a conveying trough 202, a positioning rod 203, and a baffle 204.
[0025] The limiting frame 201 is mounted on the base frame 10, the conveying trough 202 is opened on the limiting frame 201, the positioning rod 203 is installed in the conveying trough 202, and the baffle 204 is installed on the limiting frame 201.
[0026] The adapter component 30 is mounted on the base frame 10, and the drive component 40 is mounted on the base frame 10.
[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the conveying trough 202 is formed on the limiting frame 201. Subsequently, the positioning rod 203 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the conveying trough 202. The buttons on the car control panel are conveyed in the conveying trough 202 and are limited by the positioning rod 203 during the conveying process. Then, the buttons are connected to the conveying buttons through the adapter assembly 30, and finally the buttons are removed by the drive assembly 40.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adapter assembly 30 includes a limiting ring 301, a driving component 302, a rotating ring 303, an outer ring 304, a wire harness groove 305, and a light guiding mechanism 306.
[0029] The limiting ring 301 is mounted on the base frame 10, and the driving component 302 is mounted on the limiting ring 301. The rotating ring 303 is mounted on the output end of the driving component 302, the outer ring 304 is mounted on the rotating ring 303, the wire harness groove 305 is formed on the outer ring 304, and the light guiding mechanism 306 is mounted inside the wire harness groove 305.
[0030] It should be noted that the drive component 302 is a servo motor. The drive component 302 is connected to the power supply and operated through the control switch. The drive component 302 drives the rotating ring 303 to rotate, and when the rotating ring 303 rotates, it drives the outer ring 304 to rotate synchronously.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the outer ring 304 is accurately positioned during rotation, the curvature of the limiting ring 301 is set according to the required rotation angle of the outer ring 304.
[0032] To ensure that the buttons enter the outer ring 304 one by one and that the buttons do not fall off during the rotation of the outer ring 304, the curvature design of the outer ring 304 ensures that they fit snugly against the conveying groove 202.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the light guiding mechanism 306 includes an outer protective cover 3061, a transparent cover 3062, an LED light 3063, and a wire 3064.
[0034] The outer protective shell 3061 is disposed inside the outer ring 304, the transparent cover 3062 is disposed on the outer protective shell 3061, the LED light 3063 is disposed inside the outer protective shell 3061, and the wire 3064 is connected to the LED light 3063.
[0035] It should be noted that one end of the wire 3064 is electrically connected to the motor, so the wire 3064 supplies power to the LED 3063. The LED 3063 emits a red light. Through the LED 3063 and its matching infrared positioning detection, it is quickly determined whether the through slot with the button is rotated into place, so as to ensure the accuracy of clamping.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly 40 includes a support rod 401, a second drive component 402, a third drive component 403, a fixed plate frame 404, and a fifth drive component 405.
[0037] The support rod 401 is mounted on the base frame 10, the second drive component 402 is mounted on the support rod 401, and the third drive component 403 is movably mounted on the support rod 401, with the third drive component 403 located at the output end of the second drive component 402. A fixed plate frame 404 is mounted on the support rod 401, and a fifth drive component 405 is movably mounted on the fixed plate frame 404, with the fifth drive component 405 located at the output end of the third drive component 403.
[0038] It should be noted that the support rod 401 is mounted on the base frame 10 via a bracket (not shown in the figure). Drive components 2 402, 3 403, and 5 405 are all cylinders. Connecting drive components 2 402, 3 403, and 5 405 via a control switch and power supply causes drive component 2 402 to drive drive component 3 403 to reciprocate. The fixed plate frame 404 is slidably mounted in the slide groove via a slider. The fixed plate frame 404 slides on the support rod 401, and drive component 3 403 drives drive component 5 405 to move up and down, thus clamping the button.
[0039] Furthermore, to facilitate the clamping of the button by the drive component 5 405, a gripper (not specifically marked in the figure) is provided at the output end of the drive component 5 405.
[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer ring 304 is provided with a through groove, and the through groove is connected to the wire harness groove 305. The light guiding mechanism 306 is set in the through groove, and the through groove is connected to the conveying groove 202.
[0041] It should be noted that if the depth of the through groove on the outer ring 304 is less than the height of the button, then a section of the button will remain outside the through groove after entering the through groove.
[0042] Specifically, the steps for installing buttons on the car control panel are as follows: The buttons to be assembled are neatly arranged in the conveying groove 202 and conveyed by the positioning rod 203. During the conveying process, the first drive component 302 is operated, which drives the rotating ring 303 and the outer ring 304 to rotate. When the outer ring 304 rotates, it aligns the through groove and the conveying groove 202, and the button enters the through groove. The first drive component 302 is operated again, causing the outer ring 304 to rotate in reverse. When the outer ring 304 rotates, it is limited by the limiting ring 301. The button located in the through groove then rotates to be directly below the fifth drive component 405. Then the second drive component 402, the third drive component 403, and the fifth drive component 405 are operated respectively to clamp the button, and after clamping the button, it is moved and installed on the control panel. Then, the above steps are repeated to complete the cyclic assembly.
[0043] In summary, the button positioning and assembly fixture based on the automotive control panel of this utility model achieves precise button positioning and efficient gripping through the indexing and loading of the adapter component and the coordinated operation of multiple sets of driving components, significantly improving the button assembly efficiency.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
