Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of keyboard assembly, and more particularly to a scissor-switch assembly chuck. Background Technology

[0002] A scissor-switch keyboard refers to a keyboard that uses a scissor-switch mechanism to support the keycaps. By distributing the force of striking the keycaps evenly through the scissor-switch mechanism, the keyboard requires less effort to type and is less tiring.

[0003] Currently, scissor-switch keyboard mounts are typically fed onto a worktable via a vibratory feeder. Then, a drive mechanism at the assembly station moves a fixture to the scissor-switch position. After the fixture picks up the scissor-switch, the drive mechanism at the assembly station moves the fixture to the keyboard mount for assembly. However, the small size of the scissor-switch mounts makes it difficult for the fixture to hold them flat on the worktable, resulting in low clamping stability. This affects the assembly efficiency and quality of the scissor-switch mounts on the keyboard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the assembly efficiency and effect of scissor-switch keys on keyboards, this application provides a scissor-switch key assembly chuck.

[0005] The scissor-leg assembly chuck provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A scissor-leg assembly chuck includes a mounting base, a suction cup, and a positioning component. The mounting base is connected to a drive mechanism at an assembly station. The suction cup is mounted on the mounting base and is used to adsorb the scissor legs. The positioning component is mounted on the mounting base and is used to position the scissor legs adsorbed by the suction cup.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff connects the mounting base to the drive mechanism of the assembly station. The drive mechanism of the assembly station drives the mounting base to move the suction cup to fit against the scissor feet. The suction cup picks up the scissor feet. Then, the drive mechanism of the assembly station drives the mounting base to move the suction cup to the keyboard for assembly. During the assembly process, the positioning component positions the scissor feet, improving the stability of the scissor feet assembly process and the convenience of picking up the scissor feet, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and effect of the scissor feet on the keyboard.

[0008] Optionally, the positioning assembly includes a positioning plate and a pushing member. The positioning plate is hinged to the mounting base, and the pushing member is mounted on the mounting base and is used to drive the positioning plate to rotate toward the suction cup.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the pusher drives the positioning plate to rotate in the direction of the suction cup, and the positioning plate can press the scissor legs adsorbed by the suction cup against the suction cup, thereby positioning the scissor legs on the suction cup.

[0010] Optionally, the suction cup is slidably mounted on the mounting base in a vertical direction, and the mounting base is provided with a driving component for driving the suction cup to slide.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism of the assembly station drives the mounting base to move the suction cup above the scissor foot. The drive component drives the suction cup to move down to fit against the scissor foot. After the suction cup adsorbs the scissor foot, the drive component drives the suction cup to move the scissor foot up, accurately picking up the scissor foot.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. Improve the stability of the scissor-switch assembly process and enhance the ease of picking up the scissor-switch, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and effect of the scissor-switch on the keyboard;

[0014] 2. The driving component moves the suction cup down to fit against the scissor feet. After the suction cup adheres to the scissor feet, the driving component then moves the suction cup up to precisely pick up the scissor feet. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] This application discloses a scissor-leg assembly clamp.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 The scissor-leg assembly chuck includes a mounting base 1, a suction cup 2, and a positioning component 3. The mounting base 1 is used to connect to the drive mechanism of the assembly station. The drive mechanism of the assembly station can be a robotic arm, a three-way moving platform, etc., as long as it can drive the mounting base 1 to move in three directions.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The suction cup 2 is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 is equipped with a driving component 4, which is used to drive the suction cup 2 to slide. The driving component 4 can be a linear drive such as an electric actuator or a cylinder. In this embodiment, the driving component 4 is a cylinder, which is vertically mounted on the mounting base 1. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the suction cup 2. In this embodiment, a guide rail is vertically mounted on the mounting base 1, and the suction cup 2 is slidably mounted on the guide rail to improve the stability of the suction cup 2 during the up and down sliding process.

[0022] After the drive mechanism of the assembly station moves the mounting base 1 above the scissor foot, the drive component 4 drives the suction cup 2 to move down, so that the suction cup 2 adheres to the scissor foot. After the suction cup 2 attracts the scissor foot, the drive component 4 drives the suction cup 2 to move the scissor foot up, thus accurately picking up the scissor foot. When multiple suction cups 2 are installed on the mounting base 1, the drive component 4 of the corresponding suction cup 2 can drive a single suction cup 2 to move down to pick up the scissor foot, reducing the possibility that the scissor foot attracted by the suction cup 2 will touch the worktable and be damaged when the mounting base 1 moves down as a whole.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The positioning component 3 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The positioning component 3 is used to position the scissor feet on the suction cup 2. The positioning component 3 includes a positioning plate 31 and a pushing member 32. The positioning plate 31 is hinged to the mounting base 1 in the direction of the suction cup 2. The pushing member 32 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the positioning plate 31 to rotate in the direction of the suction cup 2. The pushing member 32 can be a cylinder, electric actuator, or other linear drive. By hinged to the positioning plate 31, the linear drive rod of the cylinder, electric actuator, or other linear drive can extend and retract, thereby driving the positioning plate 31 to rotate toward or away from the suction cup 2. The pushing member 32 can also be a motor. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the hinge shaft of the positioning plate 31, thereby driving the hinge shaft of the positioning plate 31 to rotate, thus driving the positioning plate 31 to rotate. In this embodiment, the pushing member 32 is a cylinder.

[0024] After the suction cup 2 picks up the scissor feet, the pusher 32 drives the positioning plate 31 to rotate toward the suction cup 2. The positioning plate 31 abuts against the scissor feet, thus positioning the scissor feet picked up by the suction cup 2 on the suction cup 2, improving the stability of the scissor feet during transfer and assembly.

[0025] The implementation principle of the scissor-foot assembly clamp in this embodiment is as follows: The drive mechanism of the assembly station drives the mounting base 1 to move the suction cup 2 above the scissor feet. The drive component 4 drives the suction cup 2 to move down to fit against the scissor feet. After the suction cup 2 picks up the scissor feet, the drive component 4 drives the suction cup 2 to move the scissor feet up. The push component 32 drives the positioning plate 31 to rotate towards the suction cup 2. The positioning plate 31 presses the scissor feet against the suction cup 2. The drive mechanism of the assembly station can then drive the scissor feet to the keyboard position for assembly. By first picking up the scissor feet with the suction cup 2 and then clamping and positioning the scissor feet with the positioning plate 31, the stability of the scissor feet assembly process is improved, and the convenience of picking up the scissor feet is improved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and assembly effect of the scissor feet on the keyboard.

[0026] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
