Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component technology, specifically to a cover device for a micro switch. Background Technology

[0002] A micro switch is a type of switch with a small contact gap and a quick-acting mechanism. It operates by using a specified stroke and force to perform the switching action. It is covered by a housing and has a drive rod on the outside. Because the contact gap of the switch is relatively small, it is called a micro switch, also known as a sensitive switch.

[0003] A micro switch consists of a base, a top cover, several pins, a moving contact, and a tension spring, among other parts. Currently, the top cover of a micro switch is installed manually after the other internal parts have been installed and glued to cure. However, the installation of the top cover involves more than just the cover itself; there is also a push-button switch. During installation, the push-button switch needs to be placed in the corresponding position on the top cover before installation. Since the push-button of a micro switch is relatively small and difficult to align, the installation is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a cover mounting device for automatically installing the cover of a micro switch.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a capping device for a micro switch, comprising a capping frame, a third robotic arm, a second vibrating plate, a fifth conveying mechanism, a sixth conveying mechanism, and a fourth robotic arm. Several third robotic arms and a plurality of second vibrating plates are provided. The third robotic arms are connected to the second vibrating plate. Several third robotic arms are positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism, and the fifth conveying mechanism is positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism. The fourth robotic arm is located between the fifth and sixth conveying mechanisms.

[0006] With this setup, the microswitches with their internal components already installed and fixed are placed on the fifth conveyor mechanism. They can be fed and transported via a vibratory feeder, connected to the equipment where the internal components are installed, or even manually. The fifth conveyor mechanism then sends the microswitches to the sixth conveyor mechanism. Several third robotic arms next to the sixth conveyor mechanism will then pick up the top cover from the corresponding second vibratory feeder and place it on the sixth conveyor mechanism. Next, the push-button switch is placed in the corresponding position. After that, the fourth robotic arm can pick up the microswitches on the fifth conveyor mechanism and press them onto the top cover to complete the installation. This cycle can be repeated to install covers on a large number of microswitches, making installation convenient and efficient.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a testing mechanism located at the position of the fifth conveying mechanism, which is used to test the components of the micro switch.

[0008] With this setup, the testing agency can inspect the microswitches before they are covered. If a missing part is found, it can be removed, preventing defective products from being produced due to the inclusion of a microswitch with a missing part. Defective products can be removed by a robotic arm.

[0009] Furthermore, the testing mechanism is a CCD detector.

[0010] With this setup, CCD vision inspection achieves higher accuracy, faster speed, and stronger stability.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a transfer mechanism, which includes a transfer track, a transfer block, a first pusher and a second pusher. The transfer block is provided with a movable groove, and the transfer track is connected to the movable groove. The first pusher is slidably disposed in the movable groove and is provided with a transfer groove adapted to a micro switch. The second pusher pushes the micro switch in the transfer groove into the fifth conveying mechanism.

[0012] With this setup, the micro switch will enter the transfer groove on the first pusher in the movable groove, and then press against the inner wall of the movable groove to prevent it from going too far and falling out. Then, the first pusher is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to move within the movable groove until the transfer groove is aligned with the fifth conveying mechanism. At this point, the second pusher is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to push the micro switch in the transfer groove into the fifth conveying mechanism. The structure is stable and can be transported at high speed on the transfer track. When it reaches the fifth conveying mechanism for testing, the speed is reduced for convenient testing.

[0013] Furthermore, the transfer track includes a transport rod, which has transport grooves extending through both sides toward the sixth conveying mechanism.

[0014] With this configuration, the micro switch will be transported in the transport slot on the transport rod, resulting in a simple structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the transport trough is provided with limiting grooves on both sides that are adapted to the micro switch.

[0016] With this design, the micro switch will slide within the limit groove during transportation, preventing it from bouncing up and making it more stable.

[0017] Furthermore, the transfer track is delivered via an air pump.

[0018] With this setup, an air pipe can be installed on the side of the transport rod to connect to an air pump. When the microswitch is placed in the transport trough, the air pump will blow air to transport the microswitch to the other end. The structure is simple and the transport is fast.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a flipping component, which is rotatably connected to the cover mounting frame at a position between the fifth conveying mechanism and the sixth conveying mechanism, and each side of the flipping component is provided with a flipping groove adapted to a micro switch.

[0020] With this setup, the detection mechanism can be positioned above the fifth conveying mechanism. When the micro switch is conveyed on the fifth conveying mechanism with its top facing upwards, it can be detected by the detection mechanism. After the detection is completed, the qualified micro switch will enter the flipping slot, where it will be rotated 180 degrees by a motor and other conventional parts to change its top face downwards. In this way, the fourth robotic arm can directly pick it up and insert it into the top cover with its bottom face upwards for installation.

[0021] Furthermore, the sixth conveying mechanism includes a second rotating disk, and a plurality of the third robotic arms are arranged sequentially around the second rotating disk.

[0022] With this setup, the second rotating disk is driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the mounting frame, while the third robotic arm removes the parts from the second vibrating disk and assembles them on the second rotating disk. Using a circular conveyor instead of a strip-shaped one reduces the time and space required, and the circular conveyor makes circulation more convenient.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a plasma wind assembly, which is positioned toward the sixth conveying mechanism.

[0024] This configuration allows the plasma airflow to remove dust and static electricity from the inside of the top cover, facilitating the installation of other components. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present embodiment and is not intended to limit the present embodiment. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the present embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present embodiment.

[0034] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a capping device for a micro switch, comprising a capping frame 201, a third robotic arm 202, a second vibrating plate 203, a fifth conveying mechanism 204, a sixth conveying mechanism 205, and a fourth robotic arm 206. Several third robotic arms 202 and a second vibrating plate 203 are provided. The third robotic arms 202 are connected to the second vibrating plate 203. Several third robotic arms 202 are positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism 205, and the fifth conveying mechanism 204 is positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The fourth robotic arm 206 is located between the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The above configuration is not limited; a material pressing structure and a material unloading robotic arm can also be provided next to the sixth conveying mechanism 205.

[0035] With this setup, the microswitch 6 with its internal parts already installed and fixed is placed on the fifth conveyor mechanism 204 during use. It can be fed and conveyed by conventional methods such as a vibratory feeder, a device connected to the equipment where the internal parts are installed, or even by manual placement. The fifth conveyor mechanism 204 will then send the microswitch 6 to the sixth conveyor mechanism 205. Several third robotic arms 202 next to the sixth conveyor mechanism 205 will then pick up the top cover 602 from the corresponding second vibratory feeder 203 and place it on the sixth conveyor mechanism 205. Then, the push-button switch 603 will be placed in the corresponding position. After that, the fourth robotic arm 206 will pick up the microswitch 6 on the fifth conveyor mechanism 204 and press it onto the top cover 602 to complete the installation. This cycle can be repeated to install covers on a large number of microswitch 6, making installation convenient and efficient.

[0036] In this preferred embodiment, a detection mechanism 207 is also included. The detection mechanism 207 is located at the position of the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The detection mechanism 207 is used to detect the parts of the micro switch 6.

[0037] With this setup, the inspection mechanism 207 can inspect the micro switch 6 before it is covered. If a part is found to be missing, it can be removed, thus preventing the micro switch 6 with missing parts from being covered and causing defective products to be produced. Defective products can be removed by a robotic arm.

[0038] In this preferred embodiment, the detection mechanism 207 is a CCD detector.

[0039] With this setup, CCD vision inspection achieves higher accuracy, faster speed, and stronger stability.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a transfer mechanism 4, which includes a transfer track 401, a transfer block 402, a first pusher 403, and a second pusher 404. The transfer block 402 is provided with a movable groove 4021, and the transfer track 401 is connected to the movable groove 4021. The first pusher 403 is slidably disposed in the movable groove 4021 and is provided with a transfer groove 4031 adapted to the micro switch 6. The second pusher 404 pushes the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the fifth conveying mechanism 204.

[0041] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will enter the transfer groove 4031 on the first pusher 403 in the movable groove 4021, and then press against the inner wall of the movable groove 4021, preventing it from going too far and falling out. Then, the first pusher 403 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to move within the movable groove 4021 until the transfer groove 4031 is aligned with the fifth conveying mechanism 204. At this point, the second pusher 404 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to push the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The structure is stable and can be transported at high speed on the transfer track 401. When it reaches the fifth conveying mechanism 204 for testing, the speed is reduced for convenient testing.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the transfer track 401 includes a transport rod 4011, and the transport rod 4011 is provided with transport grooves 40111 that extend through both sides toward the sixth conveying mechanism 205.

[0043] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will be transported in the transport groove 40111 on the transport rod 4011, resulting in a simple structure.

[0044] In this preferred embodiment, the two sides of the transport groove 40111 are provided with limiting grooves 40112 adapted to the micro switch 6. The above setting is not limited. The limiting groove 40112 can be a groove directly machined in the transport groove 40111 or a part added to the top of the transport rod 4011 to form a gap as the limiting groove 40112. The end of the transport groove 40111 can also be provided with a groove platform for placing the micro switch 6 to enter the limiting groove 40112 from the side.

[0045] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will slide within the limit groove 40112 during transportation, preventing it from bouncing up during transport and making it more stable.

[0046] In this preferred embodiment, the transfer track 401 is delivered by an air pump.

[0047] With this configuration, an air pipe can be installed on the side of the transport rod 4011 to connect to an air pump. When the micro switch 6 is placed in the transport groove 40111, the air pump will blow air to transport the micro switch 6 to the other end. The structure is simple and the transport is fast.

[0048] In this preferred embodiment, a flipping component 3 is also included. The flipping component 3 is rotatably connected to the cover mounting frame 201 at a position between the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. A flipping groove 301 adapted to the micro switch 6 is provided on each side of the flipping component 3. The above setting is not limited. Only one flipping groove 301 can be provided. In this way, after the conveying is completed, it can be rotated 180 degrees back to the original position.

[0049] With this setup, the detection mechanism 207 can be positioned above the fifth conveying mechanism 204. When the micro switch 6 is conveyed on the fifth conveying mechanism 204 with its top facing upwards, it can be detected by the detection mechanism 207. After the detection is completed, the qualified micro switch 6 will enter the flipping groove 301, and the flipping part 3 will be driven by a motor and other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees to change its top face downwards. In this way, the fourth robotic arm 206 can directly clamp it and insert it above the top cover 602 with its bottom face facing upwards for installation.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, a seventh conveying mechanism 208 is also included. The seventh conveying mechanism 208 is located between the flipping component 3 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The seventh conveying mechanism 208 is disposed toward the flipping groove 301, and the flipping groove 301 is disposed through both the front and rear sides toward the direction of the seventh conveying mechanism 208.

[0051] With this configuration, the top surface of the flipping groove 301 can be set to a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed state. The micro switch 6 is fed into the flipping groove 301 from the side by the seventh conveying mechanism 208. In this way, the micro switch 6 will not fall out of the flipping groove 301 when the flipping part 3 rotates, making it more stable. The seventh conveying mechanism 208 can be set to a telescopic mechanism plus a pusher to push the micro switch 6.

[0052] In this preferred embodiment, one of the two flipping grooves 301 has a top opening and the other has a bottom opening, and the width of the opening is smaller than that of the micro switch 6.

[0053] With this configuration, the opening of the flipping groove 301 facilitates the pushing of the seventh conveying mechanism 208, while also preventing it from scratching parts such as the pin 604 and the tension spring 606, thus making it more stable. The opening can be made by setting a protrusion to reduce the width, or by setting an additional groove in the flipping groove 301 to hold the micro switch 6.

[0054] In this preferred embodiment, the sixth conveying mechanism 205 includes a second rotating disk 2051, and a plurality of third robotic arms 202 are arranged sequentially around the second rotating disk 2051. The above configuration is not limited. The second rotating disk 2051 may also be provided with a mounting block with a groove adapted to the upper cover 602 for easy placement of the upper cover 602. An infrared detection device may also be provided to detect the button switch 603 inside the upper cover 602.

[0055] With this setup, the second rotating disk 2051 will be driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the cover frame 201, while the third robotic arm 202 will remove the parts from the second vibrating disk 203 and assemble them on the second rotating disk 2051. Using a circular conveyor instead of a strip conveyor reduces the time and space required, and the circular conveyor is more convenient for circulation.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the plasma wind component 209 is also included, which is disposed toward the sixth conveying mechanism 205.

[0057] With this setup, the plasma air can remove dust and static electricity from the inside of the top cover 602, facilitating the installation of other parts.

[0058] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
