Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile device detection technology, and in particular to an automatic drop box. Background Technology
[0002] When testing mobile devices, the operator takes one fragile label, checks for any defects in appearance, and attaches it to the designated position corresponding to the screw hole on the small board. It must be attached completely and must not be misaligned, damaged, or misplaced. In addition, the mobile phone screen must be placed face down in the manual drop box platform and dropped twice.
[0003] Currently, the drop test requires manual operation by workers. For the first drop, the worker must remove the product from the drop box, then place it back in for a second drop. After the second drop is complete, the product is removed and moved to the next worker's position. This process involves excessive and inefficient handling, making it impossible to prevent product damage or leakage through manual labor. Furthermore, manually placing the product into the drop box from a height of 30cm increases worker fatigue due to frequent handling, inconsistent work procedures, and the risk of product leakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an automatic drop box, including a box body, a frame inside the box body, an inlet and an outlet facing each other on the box body, a conveying device inside the inlet and the outlet, a drop mechanism above the conveying device inside the box body, the drop mechanism including a lifting block, an adsorption mechanism fixedly connected to the lifting block on the side facing the conveying device, a sensor assembly for detecting the moving device above the conveying device is provided inside the box body at the position corresponding to the drop mechanism, and the sensor assembly, the drop mechanism and the adsorption mechanism are all electrically connected to the same electronic control board.
[0006] This invention features an adsorption mechanism and a drop mechanism. Workers can place the mobile device on a conveyor. When the device is transported to the area below the drop mechanism, a sensor component detects it. At this point, the lifting block of the drop mechanism descends, and the adsorption mechanism lifts the device. The drop mechanism then raises the device to a designated height, at which point the adsorption mechanism stops, and the device falls onto the conveyor, completing the drop detection. By achieving fully mechanized drop detection, manual labor is significantly reduced, avoiding issues such as inaccurate detection, excessive manpower, and operator fatigue associated with manual methods.
[0007] Optionally, the drop mechanism includes a drop power slide rail fixedly connected to the frame, the drop power slide rail being arranged perpendicular to the conveying device, and the drop power slide rail being slidably connected to the lifting block.
[0008] Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism is configured as a negative pressure adsorption box, which is fixedly connected to the lifting block, and the adsorption port of the negative pressure adsorption box is positioned facing one end of the conveying device.
[0009] Furthermore, a baffle frame is provided below the drop mechanism. The baffle frame is U-shaped, and an opening for accommodating the drop mechanism is provided on the side wall of the baffle frame facing the drop mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, a flexible layer is provided on the inner wall of the baffle frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the conveying device includes a first conveyor belt disposed at the feed inlet and a second conveyor belt disposed at the discharge outlet, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt being disposed close to each other, and the second conveyor belt being disposed below the drop mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the first conveyor belts is provided with two sets of limiting plates, which are positioned opposite each other on both sides perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments 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 this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0023] This utility model proposes an automatic drop box, as detailed below. Figures 1 to 4 To elaborate in detail.
[0024] An automatic drop box includes a box body 1, a frame 2 inside the box body 1, an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 facing each other on the box body 1, a conveying device 3 inside the inlet 11 and the outlet 12, a drop mechanism 4 inside the box body 1 above the conveying device 3, the drop mechanism 4 includes a lifting block 41, an adsorption mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the lifting block 41 facing the conveying device 3, a sensor assembly 6 inside the box body 1 at the position corresponding to the drop mechanism 4 for detecting the moving device above the conveying device 3, and the sensor assembly 6, the drop mechanism 4 and the adsorption mechanism 5 are all electrically connected to the same electronic control board 7.
[0025] This invention features an adsorption mechanism 5 and a drop mechanism 4. Workers can place the mobile device on the conveyor 3. When the mobile device is transported by the conveyor 3 to the area below the drop mechanism 4, the sensor assembly 6 detects the device. At this point, the lifting block 41 of the drop mechanism 4 descends, and the adsorption mechanism 5 lifts the device. The drop mechanism 4 then raises the mobile device to a designated height, at which point the adsorption mechanism 5 stops working, and the mobile device falls onto the conveyor 3, thus completing the drop detection operation. By achieving fully mechanized drop detection, manual labor is significantly reduced, avoiding issues such as inaccurate detection, excessive manpower, and operator fatigue associated with manual detection.
[0026] In some embodiments, the drop mechanism 4 includes a drop-powered slide rail 42 fixedly connected to the frame 2. The drop-powered slide rail 42 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying device 3 and is slidably connected to the lifting block 41. The drop-powered slide rail 42 is a slide rail with a power mechanism. In one embodiment, a motor drive is provided on the drop-powered slide rail 42. When the drop-powered slide rail 42 is connected to a power source, it can drive the lifting block 41 to move under the drive of the motor. When the sensor assembly 6 detects that the mobile device has reached below the drop-powered slide rail 42, the drop-powered slide rail 42 can control the lifting block 41 to move downward under the control of the electronic control board 7, so that the adsorption mechanism 5 can adsorb the mobile device.
[0027] In some embodiments, the adsorption mechanism 5 is configured as a negative pressure adsorption box, which is fixedly connected to the lifting block 41, and the adsorption port of the negative pressure adsorption box is positioned facing the conveying device 3. The negative pressure adsorption box allows for convenient and stable lifting of the mobile device, and when it is necessary to control the mobile device from falling, the negative pressure adsorption box can be stopped by controlling the electronic control board 7, at which point the mobile device will fall to the conveying device 3 from a specified height.
[0028] In some embodiments, a baffle frame is provided below the drop mechanism 4. The baffle frame is U-shaped, and an opening 81 for accommodating the drop mechanism 4 is provided on the side wall of the baffle frame facing the drop mechanism 4. The baffle frame can effectively prevent the mobile device from detaching from the mobile device during the drop process, ensuring that the mobile device can be sent out from the discharge port 12 by the conveying device 3.
[0029] In some embodiments, a flexible layer 82 is provided on the inner wall of the baffle frame. The flexible layer 82 can protect the mobile device during a drop, preventing damage to the mobile device from collision with the baffle frame during the drop.
[0030] In some embodiments, the conveying device 3 includes a first conveyor belt 31 disposed at the inlet 11 and a second conveyor belt 32 disposed at the outlet 12. The first conveyor belt 31 and the second conveyor belt 32 are disposed close to each other, and the second conveyor belt 32 is disposed below the drop mechanism 4. By splitting the conveying device 3 into a first conveyor belt 31 and a second conveyor belt 32, different conveying speeds can be achieved. The time difference caused by the different conveying speeds provides sufficient time for the drop detection process. After the drop detection is completed, the second conveyor belt 32 will quickly send the mobile device out of the outlet 12. At this time, the first conveyor belt 31 will convey the next mobile device to the second conveyor belt 32 to wait for the drop detection operation.
[0031] In some embodiments, two sets of limiting plates 33 are provided on each of the first conveyor belts 31, with the two sets of limiting plates 33 facing each other on both sides perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device 3. The setting of the limiting plates 33 can organize the mobile devices entering the box 1 from the feed inlet 11, ensuring that the movement path of each mobile device can be completely absorbed by the adsorption mechanism 5, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the drop operation.
[0032] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with multiple support legs 13 at the bottom, which facilitates placement in different terrains, and the housing 1 is provided with a display 14 electrically connected to the control board 7 and multiple control buttons 15, which facilitates the staff to observe and control the operation of the equipment.
