Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone accessory manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated cleaning device for a vacuum electroplating fixture for mobile phone buttons. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum electroplating of mobile phone buttons is a process that uses vacuum technology to treat the surface of components such as mobile phone buttons, primarily used to improve the product's appearance and protective performance. Its core process employs vacuum atomization technology to uniformly adhere electroplating solution molecules to the button surface, forming a 360° all-around coating. The air pressure is controlled within the vacuum chamber to ensure uniform coating thickness, giving the product waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and anti-static properties, thereby enhancing its durability.

[0003] During electroplating, mobile phone buttons typically need to be precisely mounted into a specialized fixture to avoid obstructing the atomization area and ensure coating quality. The aforementioned process requires removing the phone buttons from a custom-designed jig and placing them into a cleaning rack to transfer them. Due to the specific and small size of mobile phone buttons, traditional transfer methods involve significant manual intervention. The transfer and positioning of the phone buttons largely rely on manual operation, resulting in low automation and efficiency in the current vacuum electroplating process for mobile phone buttons, and making it susceptible to the influence of operator experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions: (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 An automated cleaning device for a vacuum electroplating fixture for mobile phone buttons includes a frame 10, a feeding mechanism 20, a transfer mechanism 40, and a cleaning tray fixture 50. The feeding mechanism is used to transport the feeding fixture 30 loaded with mobile phone buttons. The transfer mechanism is located beside the feeding mechanism 20, and the free-moving end of the transfer mechanism is provided with a gripper assembly 420. The cleaning tray fixture is located beside the transfer mechanism at least once. Further, the cleaning tray fixture includes a clamping mechanism 510 and a rotating mechanism. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 510 is symmetrically arranged along both ends of the cleaning tray 60, and the rotating mechanism... The rotating mechanism is mounted on a clamping mechanism on one side. This rotating mechanism drives the cleaning tray to rotate. In operation, an empty product cleaning tray is manually loaded onto the frame, and a full product fixture is stacked and loaded onto one end of the loading mechanism. The full product fixture is conveyed backward along the loading mechanism. A four-axis robot grips the product and assembles it into the cleaning tray. This process is repeated, with the four-axis robot gripping and assembling the phone buttons into the cleaning tray. Once all the phone buttons on the cleaning tray are assembled, the phone button loading is complete. At this point, the cleaning tray can be unloaded from the frame, thus completing the automated cleaning and loading of multiple phone buttons. It should be noted that at least one oppositely positioned cleaning tray fixture can be installed on the frame. This allows for alternating loading at multiple stations, enabling loading without stopping the machine and improving loading efficiency. This invention uses a transfer mechanism to automatically grab the mobile phone buttons from the loading fixture and assemble them sequentially into the cleaning position of the cleaning tray. Therefore, it can realize the automated operation of taking the mobile phone buttons out of the customized fixture tray and placing them into the cleaning tray, so as to improve work efficiency. Moreover, the entire operation process has low dependence on personnel and can avoid the influence of the operator's experience and ability.

[0031] It should be noted that the cleaning tray 60 has a rectangular frame structure. Its two ends are used for positioning and support, and its four sides are used to assemble mobile phone buttons. The four sides are provided with positioning holes for assembling mobile phone buttons, which are used as cleaning positions for mobile phone buttons.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 20 includes a feeding frame 210, a crossbeam 220, and a conveying assembly. The crossbeam 220 is disposed on the top of the feeding frame, and the conveying assembly is disposed along the length of the crossbeam. The conveying assembly is used to convey the feeding fixture 30 to move along the crossbeam. Furthermore, the conveying assembly can be a conveyor belt distributed along the length of the crossbeam. When the conveyor belt is working, it can convey the feeding fixture to move the feeding fixture to a position that is easy for the transfer mechanism to grasp.

[0033] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 To differentiate the different parts of the crossbeam 220, a full product jig stacking loading position 221 and an empty product jig stacking unloading position 222 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbeam 220. At the full product jig stacking loading position 221, multiple loading jigs filled with mobile phone buttons are placed in a stacked state. When the loading jigs filled with mobile phone buttons move along the crossbeam, they can be grabbed by the transfer mechanism and installed on the cleaning tray. After all the mobile phone buttons on the loading jigs have been grabbed, the empty loading jigs can be moved to the empty product jig stacking unloading position 222 by the conveyor belt, and the stacking of empty loading jigs can also be realized.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 40 includes a four-axis manipulator 410, and the gripper assembly 420 is disposed at the moving end of the four-axis manipulator. The four-axis manipulator is a device capable of moving its free end along four dimensions. The four axes refer to the number of motion axes of the manipulator, including three axes (X, Y, and Z) and one rotational axis. The X, Y, and Z axes control the translational motion of the manipulator, while the rotational axis controls its rotational motion. Four-axis manipulators can be widely used in industrial production lines, logistics warehousing, and other fields, and are characterized by high efficiency, accuracy, and safety. Since this is existing technology, it will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5The gripper assembly 420 includes a mounting plate 421 disposed on the moving end of the four-axis manipulator 410, a vertical displacement cylinder 422 disposed on the mounting plate, a gripper cylinder 423 disposed on the moving end of the vertical displacement cylinder, and two grippers 424 disposed opposite to each other on the moving end of the gripper cylinder and capable of relative movement. In use, when the loading fixture carrying the mobile phone button moves along the crossbeam to near the transfer mechanism, the action of the four-axis manipulator moves the gripper above the loading fixture. The vertical displacement cylinder drives the gripper cylinder and the gripper to move close to the mobile phone button. Then, the gripper cylinder drives the grippers on both sides to grasp the mobile phone button. After the material is picked up, the four-axis manipulator transfers the mobile phone button to the cleaning tray fixture position. The vertical displacement cylinder and the gripper cylinder are used again to assemble the mobile phone button into the cleaning position of the mobile phone button on the cleaning tray.

[0036] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 The clamping mechanism 510 includes a mounting base 511, a clamping cylinder 512 disposed on the top of the mounting base, a clamping seat 513 fixed to the moving end of the clamping cylinder, and a clamping assembly rotatably disposed on the side wall of the clamping seat. Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a turntable 514 rotatably disposed on the side wall of the clamping seat 513 and a clamping post 515 disposed on the side of the turntable away from the clamping seat 513. The end of the cleaning hanging tray 60 is provided with a clamping hole 610 matching the clamping post. In use, the clamping mechanism is placed on both sides of the cleaning hanging tray, and clamping is achieved through the clamping of both sides. The cylinder actuates, causing the clamping seat and clamping assembly to move closer to the end of the cleaning tray. As the clamping seat continues to move, the turntable and clamping pins align with the clamping holes at the end of the cleaning tray to fix the cleaning tray from both sides. This provides support and positioning for the cleaning tray. Since the cleaning tray can rotate along the clamping seat with the help of the turntable, after assembling one side of the cleaning tray, the rotation of the turntable can be used to rotate the unassembled side of the cleaning tray to a suitable position for assembling the mobile phone buttons, ultimately achieving the assembly of mobile phone buttons on all sides of the cleaning tray.

[0037] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 In order to drive the cleaning tray to rotate, the rotating mechanism is a rotary motor 521 set on a clamping seat 513 on one side. The output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the shaft of the turntable 514. In this way, when the rotary motor is working, it can drive the turntable to rotate, and then drive the cleaning tray 60 to rotate, so as to realize the assembly of mobile phone buttons on the four sides of the cleaning tray.

[0038] In some embodiments, the cleaning tray fixture 50 further includes a lifting mechanism, which includes a lifting cylinder 531 and a loading platform 532 disposed at the output end of the lifting cylinder and used to support the cleaning tray 60. In use, the lifting mechanism is configured as two symmetrically distributed along both ends of the cleaning tray. Before the clamping mechanism 510 clamps the cleaning tray, the cleaning tray is placed on the loading platform. The lifting cylinder drives the cleaning tray on the loading platform to move to the position corresponding to the clamping column. Then, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping columns on both sides to contact the cleaning tray, so that the clamping columns align with the clamping holes to achieve the positioning of the cleaning tray. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder can drive the loading platform to descend, thereby reserving sufficient space for the rotation of the cleaning tray.

[0039] In use, the empty product cleaning tray 60 is loaded onto the loading platform 532. The lifting cylinder lifts the cleaning tray 60 to the position corresponding to the clamping column 515. The clamping cylinder 512 drives the clamping seat 513 and the clamping column 515 on it to move closer to the end of the cleaning tray 60, so that the clamping column 515 aligns with the clamping hole 610, thus fixing the cleaning tray 60. Then, the lifting cylinder 531 drives the loading platform 532 to move down, while the full product jig is manually stacked and loaded onto the full product jig stacking position 221 of the loading mechanism. The full product jig is conveyed backward along the crossbeam 220. The four-axis robotic arm picks up the product and assembles it into the cleaning tray 60. The process of the four-axis robotic arm picking up the mobile phone buttons and assembling them into the cleaning tray is repeated. After one side of the cleaning tray 60 is assembled, the rotary motor 521 drives the turntable 514 to rotate. The turntable 514 then drives the cleaning tray 60 to rotate, exposing the unassembled side of the cleaning tray 60. After all the mobile phone buttons on the cleaning tray 60 are assembled, the mobile phone button loading is completed. At this time, the cleaning tray 60 can be unloaded from the frame, thus completing the automated cleaning and loading of multiple mobile phone buttons.

[0040] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
