[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] As described in the background section, existing mobile phone side button installations are typically done manually. This manual installation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increases production costs, is difficult for workers to operate, and results in low installation efficiency and increased workload for workers.
[0033] To address this technical problem, this utility model provides a volume key oblique insertion device, which improves upon the fact that manual installation by workers is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, increases production costs, is difficult for workers to operate, has low installation efficiency, and increases workers' workload.
[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1-7 The volume button angled insertion device specifically includes:
[0035] Rack 1;
[0036] Lateral movement mechanism 2 is mounted on frame 1;
[0037] Vertical moving mechanism 3 is mounted on horizontal moving mechanism 2, and horizontal moving mechanism 2 is used to drive vertical movement.
[0038] The moving mechanism 3 moves in the horizontal direction;
[0039] Tilting mechanism 4 is mounted on vertical moving mechanism 3;

[0041] The volume key tilting device provided by this utility model works by attaching the side key of the mobile phone to the suction nozzle mechanism 5. The tilting mechanism 4 tilts the suction nozzle mechanism 5 and the volume key. Then, the horizontal moving mechanism 2 tilts one end of the tilted volume key into the volume key mounting groove. Then, the vertical moving mechanism 3 moves the suction nozzle mechanism 5 further down, pressing down, so that the other end of the volume key is pressed into the mounting groove. After installation, the suction nozzle mechanism 5 releases the volume key, and the vertical moving mechanism 3 moves the suction nozzle mechanism 5 up. This process is repeated to install the next volume key. The entire installation process is automated, which improves the installation efficiency of the volume key and reduces the workload of workers.
[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0044] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a volume key tilting device includes: a frame 1, a horizontal moving mechanism 2, a vertical moving mechanism 3, a tilting mechanism 4, and a suction nozzle mechanism 5. The horizontal moving mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1, the vertical moving mechanism 3 is mounted on the horizontal moving mechanism 2, and the horizontal moving mechanism 2 is used to drive the vertical moving mechanism 3 to move in the horizontal direction. The tilting mechanism 4 is mounted on the vertical moving mechanism 3, and the suction nozzle mechanism 5 is mounted on the tilting mechanism 4.
[0047] The lateral movement mechanism 2 includes a housing 201 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a first motor 202 fixedly mounted on the housing 201, a lead screw 203 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 202, a sliding block 204 threaded onto the lead screw 203, and a connecting block 205 fixedly mounted on the sliding block 204; the end of the lead screw 203 away from the first motor 202 is rotatably mounted on the housing 201 via a bearing;
[0048] When the first motor 202 is started and the lead screw 203 rotates forward, the lead screw 203 can drive the sliding block 204 to move away from the first motor 202. During the movement, the sliding block 204 can drive the connecting block 205 fixedly installed thereto to move. During the movement, the connecting block 205 can drive the connecting plate 301 fixedly installed thereto to move, thereby driving the vertical moving mechanism 3, the tilting mechanism 4 and the suction nozzle mechanism 5 to move, so that the volume button adsorbed by the suction nozzle mechanism 5 is inserted into the interior of the mounting slot.
[0049] Similarly, when the first motor 202 is started and drives the lead screw 203 to reverse, the vertical moving mechanism 3, the tilting mechanism 4, and the suction nozzle mechanism 5 are moved and reset.
[0050] The vertical moving mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 301 fixedly installed on the connecting block 205, a cylinder 302 fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 301 away from the connecting block 205, a horizontal plate 303 fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 302, a vertical plate 304 fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 303, and a mounting plate 305 fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 304 away from the cylinder 302; a sliding groove is provided in the middle of the side of the vertical plate 304 near the cylinder 302, and a slider 306 that cooperates with the sliding groove is fixedly installed on the cylinder 302;
[0051] The starting cylinder 302 drives the horizontal plate 303 to move downward. During the downward movement of the horizontal plate 303, the vertical plate 304 can be driven to move downward. During the downward movement of the vertical plate 304, the mounting plate 305, the inclined suction nozzle mechanism 5, and the volume key attached to the suction nozzle mechanism 5 can be driven to move further downward, i.e., pressed down, so that the other end of the volume key is pressed into the mounting groove, and the installation is completed.
[0052] During the movement of the vertical plate 304, the cooperation between the sliding groove and the slider 306 makes the vertical plate 304 move more smoothly in the vertical direction, thereby making the mounting plate 305 and the suction nozzle mechanism 5 move more smoothly in the vertical direction as well.
[0053] The tilting mechanism 4 includes a second motor 401 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 305, an L-shaped rod 402 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 401, a guide post 403 fixedly installed on one end of the L-shaped rod 402, and a guide groove 404 opened on the mounting plate 305 and cooperating with the guide post 403.
[0054] The guide groove 404 is an arc-shaped groove, and the middle of the inner bottom wall of the guide groove 404 is raised, so that the middle position of the inner bottom wall of the guide groove 404 is high and the sides are low. Correspondingly, the middle of the inner top wall of the guide groove 404 is concave, so as to meet the conditions for the guide column 403 to move.
[0055] The second motor 401 drives the output shaft to rotate. During the rotation of the output shaft, the L-shaped rod 402 can rotate. During the rotation of the L-shaped rod 402, the guide post 403 can slide inside the guide groove 404. Since the middle of the inner bottom wall of the guide groove 404 is raised, the guide post 403 can move with the L-shaped rod 402. During the rotation of the L-shaped rod 402, the suction nozzle mechanism 5 and the volume key attached to the suction nozzle mechanism 5 can rotate, thereby tilting the volume key and allowing the volume key to be inserted obliquely into the mounting groove.
[0056] The suction mechanism 5 includes a vacuum tube 501 mounted on an L-shaped rod 402, a vacuum connector 502 fixedly mounted on one end of the vacuum tube 501, a suction nozzle 503 fixedly mounted on the other end of the vacuum tube 501, a top plate 504 fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plate 301, and a corrugated pipe connector 505 fixedly mounted on the top plate 504. The corrugated pipe connector 505 is connected to an external power source (not shown in the figure). The vacuum connector 502 is fixedly connected to the corrugated pipe connector 505 through the corrugated pipe. The vacuum tube 501 is connected to the vacuum connector 502 and the suction nozzle 503. By drawing a vacuum, the volume button can be attracted to the bottom of the suction nozzle 503. After the suction nozzle 503 is installed in the mounting groove, the volume button is released by venting.
[0057] A vacuum is created so that the volume button can be attached to the bottom of the nozzle 503. Then, the second motor 401 is started to drive the L-shaped rod 402 to rotate and tilt, causing the nozzle 503 and the volume button to tilt synchronously. Then, the first motor 202 is started to drive the lead screw 203 to rotate forward, causing the vertical moving mechanism 3, the tilting mechanism 4, and the nozzle mechanism 5 to move away from the first motor 202 until one side of the tilted volume button is inserted into the volume button mounting slot. Then, the cylinder 302 drives the horizontal plate 303, the vertical plate 304, and the mounting plate 305 to move downward, causing the nozzle mechanism 5 to move downward synchronously. This allows the nozzle mechanism 5, which is already inserted into the mounting slot, to be moved further down, i.e., pressed down, so that the other side of the volume button is pressed into the mounting slot, and the installation is completed.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that: the top and bottom of the housing 201 are both fixedly installed with slide rails 206, and the top and bottom of the sliding block 204 are both fixedly installed with limiting sliders that cooperate with slide rails 206, and the two limiting sliders are respectively slidably installed inside the two slide rails 206.
[0060] With the cooperation of the slide rail 206 and the limiting slider, the movement of the sliding block 204 can be guided, making the movement of the sliding block 204 more stable, thereby making the vertical moving mechanism 3, the tilting mechanism 4 and the suction nozzle mechanism 5 move more smoothly.
[0061] Example 3
[0062] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment two is that: the vacuum tube 501 is slidably mounted on the L-shaped rod 402, and a spring 506 is sleeved on the vacuum tube 501. One end of the spring 506 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod 402, and the other end of the spring 506 is fixedly connected to the suction nozzle 503. A gap is left between the spring 506 and the outer surface of the vacuum tube 501.
[0063] During the further downward movement (i.e., pressing down) of the suction nozzle mechanism 5 after it has been inserted obliquely into the mounting slot, the spring 506 provides a buffering and protective function.
