[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an FPC smoothing and pressing device. [Background Technology]
[0002] In existing technologies, when FPCs are placed into test fixtures for testing, due to their softness, they tend to warp and arch when placed on the fixture. This often requires manual straightening before the FPC clips are connected to the fixture's needle mold female seat, which is labor-intensive and detrimental to improving testing efficiency. [Utility Model Content]

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0013] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are limited to relative positions on the specified view, rather than absolute positions.
[0014] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0015] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The FPC smoothing and pressing device of this utility model includes a linear movement module 10, on which a support frame 20 is connected, and the linear movement module 10 drives the support frame 20 to move back and forth in a straight line.
[0016] At least two lifting roller assemblies 30 are connected to the support frame 20. Each lifting roller assembly 30 includes a roller 393 and can drive the roller 393 to rise and fall.
[0017] After the FPC is fed into the test fixture, the linear motion module 10 drives the roller 393 to come above the FPC, and the lifting roller assembly 30 drives the roller 393 to press down. The roller 393 holds the FPC and rolls back and forth under the drive of the linear motion module 10 to flatten the FPC. After flattening, the roller 393 moves to the FPC buckle and presses down to pre-press the FPC buckle into the fixture needle mold seat.
[0018] The FPC smoothing and pressing device of this invention can effectively replace manual labor in smoothing and pressing connection actions after FPC loading, saving labor and improving testing efficiency.
[0019] The lifting roller assembly 30 includes a fixing block 31, which is connected to the support frame 20.
[0020] A first pressing cylinder 32 is connected to the fixing block 31. The output end of the first pressing cylinder 32 is connected to a first lifting frame 33. A second pressing cylinder 34 is connected to the first lifting frame 33. The output end of the second pressing cylinder 34 is connected to a second lifting frame 37. The roller 393 is connected to the second lifting frame 37. The first pressing cylinder 32 is used for smoothing and pressing, and the second pressing cylinder 34 is used for snap-fit connection and pressing.
[0021] The first lifting frame 33 is provided with a vertical slide rail 35, and a slider 36 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 35. The second lifting frame 37 is connected to the slider 36.
[0022] The second lifting frame 37 includes an adjusting frame 38, an adjusting block 39 is connected to the adjusting frame 38, a roller bracket 391 is connected to the adjusting block 39, and the roller 393 is axially connected to the roller bracket 391.
[0023] The adjustment frame 38 has a row of adjustment holes 381, and the adjustment block 39 is connected to the adjustment holes 381 by screws to facilitate position adjustment.
