Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alignment fixture technology, specifically to an automated alignment fixture for touch-screen lamination of home control panels. Background Technology
[0002] A positioning fixture is a positioning device used to position and align two workpieces that need to be assembled. The fixture needs to ensure the stability of the two workpieces and also ensure the precise alignment of each part during assembly.
[0003] Existing automated alignment fixtures for touch-screen lamination of home control panels use a box to position the control panel. The size of the slots in the box corresponds to the size of the control panel, allowing for precise positioning after placement. The touch layer is also positioned on the control panel using the same slots and then fixed by pressing. However, when the control panel is placed from top to bottom, even a slight misalignment or manual shaking during placement can cause the panel to shift, resulting in tilting and the control panel getting stuck in the slot and unable to be lowered further. The small gap also makes removal difficult, thus affecting the overall processing efficiency in terms of the placement of the control panel and touch layer.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure to propose an automated alignment fixture for touch-screen lamination of home control panels. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated alignment fixture for touch-screen lamination of home control panels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated alignment fixture for touch-sensitive lamination of a home control panel, comprising a mounting box, a positioning groove on the upper surface of the mounting box, a pressing cover rotatably connected to the left side of the mounting box, an alignment groove on the lower side of the pressing cover, the alignment groove matching the size of the positioning groove, and suction cups fixedly installed at the four corners of the inner surface of the alignment groove, with the height of the suction cups being half the height of the alignment groove.
[0007] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the surface of the container are provided with through cavities, and five through cavities are evenly distributed on the front and rear sides of the container.
[0008] Preferably, a shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner surface of the cavity, and a rotating roller is fixedly installed on the surface of the shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the roller protrude into the cavity, and the roller is made of a hard rubber material that will not dent.
[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided on the bottom right side of the inner surface of the positioning groove, and springs are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner surface of the groove.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the same stop block, and the right side of the surface of the stop block is set as an inclined surface.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model, through the setting of positioning groove, pressing cover, alignment groove and suction cup, allows the control panel to be inserted into the positioning groove from right to left. This avoids the situation where it is misaligned and stuck when inserted from top to bottom, making it difficult to insert or remove. The touch layer is supported by the suction cup and is inserted directly into the alignment groove from top to bottom by abutting against the edge of the alignment groove. Because the touch layer is thin, as long as one end is accurately aligned, the thin drop travel distance of the top-down insertion method will not cause the misalignment and stuck situation that would occur with long-distance insertion. Furthermore, the inserted touch layer is attracted and fixed by the suction cup. By simply flipping the pressing cover, the touch layer and control panel can be quickly and accurately aligned and assembled. Thus, the entire fixture adopts an extremely simplified method for placing the control panel and touch layer, which is also the most suitable and convenient method. This makes the workpiece insertion more efficient and accurate, and the assembly is also extremely convenient.
[0014] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of a shaft, rotating roller, groove, spring, and stop, ensures that the control panel prioritizes contact with the rotating roller during insertion. The rotating roller utilizes the friction between itself and the control panel to rotate via the shaft, allowing for smoother and more effortless insertion and alignment of the control panel. This also prevents the control panel from sliding and rubbing against the mounting box, thus avoiding surface scratches and ensuring the quality of the control panel's outer surface. Furthermore, during insertion, the inclined surface pushes the stop to retract into the groove. Once the control panel is fully inserted, the spring pushes the stop to spring up and seal the right opening of the positioning groove, ensuring the control panel is stably and securely placed in the positioning groove. This also prevents the control panel from shifting or sliding due to pressure generated when the cover is pressed down, further improving the accuracy and stability of the alignment and assembly.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an automated alignment fixture for touch-sensitive lamination of a home control panel includes a housing 1. The upper surface of the housing 1 has a positioning groove 2. A pressing cover 3 is rotatably connected to the left side of the housing 1. An alignment groove 4 is formed on the lower side of the surface of the pressing cover 3. The alignment groove 4 matches the size of the positioning groove 2. Suction cups 5 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the inner surface of the alignment groove 4, and the height of the suction cups 5 is half the height of the alignment groove 4. The right side of the positioning groove 2 is open.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the control panel is inserted into the positioning slot 2 from right to left, which can avoid the situation where it is offset and stuck when inserted from top to bottom, making it difficult to insert or remove.
[0022] The touch layer is supported by suction cup 5 and is directly placed into the alignment groove 4 from top to bottom by abutting against the edge of the alignment groove 4. Because the touch layer is thin, as long as one end is accurately aligned, the thin layer will not cause the offset and jamming that would occur if it is placed from top to bottom.
[0023] The touch layer is fixed by suction cup 5. By directly flipping and pressing the cover 3, the touch layer and the control panel can be quickly and accurately aligned and assembled.
[0024] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the surface of the container 1 are provided with through cavities 6, and five through cavities 6 are evenly distributed on the front and rear sides of the container 1.
[0025] A shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner surface of the cavity 6, and a rotating roller 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the shaft 7.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the control panel will first contact the rotating roller 8 during the insertion process. The rotating roller 8 will use the friction between itself and the control panel to rotate through the shaft 7, so that the control panel can be inserted and aligned more smoothly and effortlessly, and also avoid the situation where the control panel and the container 1 slide and rub against each other, causing surface scratches.
[0027] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the roller 8 protrude from the cavity 6, and the roller 8 is made of a hard rubber material that will not dent.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the rigid roller body can avoid extrusion and indentation, thereby preventing the grooves caused by the extrusion of the control panel from causing displacement.
[0029] Furthermore, a groove 9 is provided on the bottom right side of the inner surface of the positioning groove 2, and springs 10 are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner surface of the groove 9.
[0030] The upper end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the same stop block 11, and the right side of the surface of the stop block 11 is set as an inclined surface.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, when the control panel is inserted, the inclined surface will push the stop 11 to move down and retract into the groove 9. When the control panel is fully inserted, the spring 10 will push the stop 11 to pop up and block the right opening of the positioning groove 2, thereby ensuring that the control panel can be stably and firmly placed in the positioning groove 2, and also avoiding the situation where the control panel shifts and slides due to the pressure generated when the cover 3 is pressed down.
[0032] Working Principle: When using this automated alignment fixture for touch-screen lamination of home control panels, the control panel is first inserted into the positioning slot 2 from right to left. This avoids the situation where it might become misaligned, stuck, or difficult to remove when inserted from top to bottom. During insertion, the control panel first contacts the rotating roller 8. The rotating roller 8 utilizes the friction between itself and the control panel to rotate via the shaft 7, allowing for smoother and more effortless insertion and alignment. This also prevents the control panel from sliding and rubbing against the mounting box 1, which could cause surface scratches and ensures the quality of the control panel's outer surface. Furthermore, during insertion, the inclined surface pushes the stop 11 downwards and retracts into the groove 9. Once the control panel is fully inserted, the spring 10 pushes the stop 11. 11 pops up to seal the right opening of the positioning groove 2, thus ensuring that the control panel can be stably and firmly placed in the positioning groove 2. It also avoids the control panel shifting or sliding due to the pressure generated when the pressing cover 3 is pressed down. The touch layer is supported by the suction cup 5 and is directly placed into the alignment groove 4 from top to bottom by abutting against the edge of the alignment groove 4. Because the touch layer is thin, as long as one end is accurately aligned, the thin drop travel distance will not cause the offset and jamming that would occur with long-distance placement. Furthermore, the placed touch layer is attracted and fixed by the suction cup 5. By directly flipping and pressing the cover 3, the touch layer and the control panel can be quickly and accurately aligned and assembled. This is the working principle of the automated alignment fixture for the touch layer of the home control panel.
