Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping technology, and in particular to a glass cover clamping and positioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Glass cover clamping and positioning mechanisms are primarily used to precisely fix and position glass covers during the manufacturing process, and are widely used in the production of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and displays. These mechanisms must ensure the stability of the glass cover during processing, inspection, or assembly, preventing displacement or vibration, thereby guaranteeing product quality and production efficiency. As electronic products become increasingly thinner and lighter, and more precise, the requirements for the processing accuracy and surface quality of glass covers are becoming higher, and the technical requirements for clamping and positioning mechanisms are also increasing accordingly.

[0003] However, existing glass cover clamping and positioning mechanisms are generally driven by multi-directional clamping units to clamp multiple side edges of the glass cover, thereby completing the positioning and clamping of the glass cover. However, the synchronization between the multiple clamping units of this clamping mechanism is poor, which can easily cause the glass cover to slip or even break during the clamping process, resulting in low clamping stability.

[0015] In one embodiment, the second clamping plate extends to both ends of the top side of the positioning plate and is provided with second clamping posts.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model discloses a glass cover clamping and positioning mechanism 10, which includes a positioning plate 100 and a clamping mechanism. The top of the positioning plate 100 is configured as a horizontally extending support plane. A glass cover of a preset size is placed on the top surface of the positioning plate 100 for positioning. The clamping mechanism is installed on the bottom surface of the positioning plate 100, and the clamping end of the clamping mechanism extends to the top side of the positioning plate 100. Thus, the clamping end of the clamping mechanism, in conjunction with the positioning plate 100, can stably clamp the glass cover of the preset size. Specifically, the top surface of the positioning plate 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 110, which are set at preset positions on the surface of the positioning plate 100 according to the positioning requirements of the glass cover. The clamping mechanism includes a first clamping component 210 and a second clamping component 220. The first clamping component 210 and the second clamping component 220 are respectively installed on the adjacent two sides of the bottom surface of the positioning plate 100. The clamping ends of the first clamping component 210 and the second clamping component 220 extend from the side edge of the positioning plate 100 to the top side of the positioning plate 100, so as to cooperate with the plurality of positioning posts 110 to stably clamp the adjacent two sides of the glass cover, thereby realizing the positioning and clamping work of the glass cover, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the glass cover and ensure processing accuracy. Based on this, the clamping mechanism further includes a drive unit 230 and a linkage plate 240. The drive unit 230 is installed on the bottom surface of the positioning plate 100. The output end of the drive unit 230 is driven to connect to the first clamping component 210. One end of the linkage plate 240 is connected to the first clamping component 210, and the other end of the linkage plate 240 is driven to connect to the second clamping component 220. Based on this, under the drive of the drive unit 230, the clamping end of the first clamping component 210 can reciprocate relative to the positioning plate 100. During this process, the clamping end of the second clamping component 220 moves in coordination with the first clamping component 210 under the drive of the linkage plate 240, so as to facilitate the insertion and removal of the glass cover. The glass cover clamping and positioning mechanism 10 of this utility model uses a single drive unit 230 combined with a linkage plate 240 to synchronously drive the first clamping component 210 and the second clamping component 220. This can effectively enhance the synchronous clamping capability between the first clamping component 210 and the second clamping component 220, thereby avoiding slippage or collision caused by asynchronous clamping actions on both sides of the glass cover, thus reducing the risk of glass cover breakage and improving production yield.

[0033] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly 210 includes a plurality of first slide rails 211, a first drive plate 212, and a first clamping plate 213; the plurality of first slide rails 211 are arranged parallel to each other on the bottom surface of the positioning plate 100, and each first slide rail 211 extends along the reciprocating direction of the first clamping assembly 210; the first drive plate 212 is slidably connected to the plurality of first slide rails 211; the first clamping plate 213 is connected to one side of the first drive plate 212, and both ends of the first clamping plate 213 are bent and extend to the top side of the positioning plate 100, thereby enabling the first clamping plate 213 to clamp the edge of the glass cover. Specifically, the output end of the drive unit 230 is driven to connect to the first drive plate 212, thereby realizing the driving function of the drive unit 230 on the first clamping assembly 210. In one embodiment, the first clamping plate 213 extends to both ends of the top side of the positioning plate 100 and is provided with first clamping posts 214. The first clamping posts 214, in conjunction with a plurality of positioning posts 110, can stably clamp the glass cover. In another embodiment, the positioning plate 100 is provided with two first clearance grooves a on one side edge corresponding to the first clamping plate 213. The two first clearance grooves a respectively correspond to and cooperate with the two ends of the first clamping plate 213 and the two first clamping posts 214 to expand the range of movement of the first clamping plate 213 relative to the positioning plate 100 and reduce interference.

[0034] Furthermore, the second clamping assembly 220 includes a plurality of second slide rails 221, a second drive plate 222, and a second clamping plate 223; the plurality of second slide rails 221 are arranged parallel to each other on the bottom surface of the positioning plate 100, and each first slide rail 211 extends along the reciprocating direction of the second clamping assembly 220; the second drive plate 222 is slidably connected to the plurality of second slide rails 221; the second clamping plate 223 is connected to one side of the second drive plate 222, and both ends of the second clamping plate 223 are bent and extend to the top side of the positioning plate 100, thereby enabling the second clamping plate 223 to clamp the edge of the glass cover. Specifically, one end of the linkage plate 240 is connected to the first drive plate 212, and the other end of the linkage plate 240 is driven to connect to the second drive plate 222, thereby enabling the second drive plate 222 to move synchronously with the first drive plate 212 through the linkage plate 240. More specifically, the linkage plate 240 is provided with an inclined driving groove c relative to the second slide rail 221, and the corresponding side surface of the second driving plate 222 is provided with a mating post 225 corresponding to the driving groove c. The mating post 225 slides and engages with the driving groove c, thereby realizing the linkage between the first driving plate 212 and the second driving plate 222. In one embodiment, the second clamping plate 223 extends to both ends of the top side of the positioning plate 100 and is provided with second clamping posts 224 respectively. In another embodiment, the positioning plate 100 is provided with two second clearance grooves b on one side edge corresponding to the second clamping plate 223. The two second clearance grooves b respectively engage with both ends of the second clamping plate 223 and the two second clamping posts 224 to expand the movement range of the second clamping plate 223 relative to the positioning plate 100. In practical applications, the movement speed and amplitude of the second driving plate 222 can be controlled by adjusting the offset angle between the driving groove c and the second slide rail 221, and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning posts 110 are respectively disposed on the opposite side of the two first clamping posts 214 and the opposite side of the two second clamping posts 224, so that the plurality of positioning posts 110 can work together with the two first clamping posts 214 and the two second clamping posts 224 to stably clamp the glass cover plate.

[0036] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly 210 also includes a plurality of first elastic elements 215, which are disposed between the first driving plate 212 and the first clamping plate 213. Thus, the first clamping plate 213 is elastically connected to the first driving plate 212 through the plurality of first elastic elements 215, thereby enhancing the buffering performance of the first clamping assembly 210 during the clamping process of the glass cover and preventing damage to the glass cover. Specifically, each first elastic element 215 extends from one side of the first driving plate 212 to the other side and is connected to the first clamping plate 213 to achieve the buffering function during the clamping process of the two first clamping posts 214 on the glass cover.

[0037] Furthermore, the second clamping assembly 220 also includes a plurality of second elastic elements 226, which are disposed between the second drive plate 222 and the second clamping plate 223. Thus, the second clamping plate 223 is elastically connected to the second drive plate 222 via the plurality of second elastic elements 226, thereby enhancing the buffering performance of the second clamping assembly 220 during the clamping process of the glass cover and preventing damage to the glass cover. Specifically, each second elastic element 226 extends from one side of the second drive plate 222 to the other side and is connected to the second clamping plate 223 to achieve a buffering function during the clamping process of the two second clamping posts 224 on the glass cover.

[0038] In summary, the glass cover clamping mechanism disclosed in this utility model uses the clamping ends of the first and second clamping components, along with several positioning pins, to stably clamp the adjacent edges of the glass cover, achieving positioning and clamping of the glass cover to facilitate subsequent processing and ensure processing accuracy. Based on this, driven by the drive unit, the clamping end of the first clamping component can reciprocate relative to the positioning plate. During this process, the clamping end of the second clamping component moves in coordination with the first clamping component under the drive of the linkage plate, facilitating the insertion and removal of the glass cover. This glass cover clamping and positioning mechanism uses a single drive unit combined with a linkage plate to synchronously drive the first and second clamping components, effectively enhancing the synchronous clamping capability between them. This avoids slippage or collision caused by asynchronous clamping actions on both sides of the glass cover, thereby reducing the risk of glass cover breakage and improving production yield.
