Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical structure technology, and relates to a feeding component, specifically a notebook shell alternating feeding component. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent application number 202320761238.0 discloses a laptop casing with a self-locking function, specifically relating to the field of laptop casing technology. It includes a laptop base, a laptop top shell, an identification structure, a latching component, and a latching device. The laptop top shell is movably mounted on the top of the laptop base, the identification structure is fixedly mounted on the top of the laptop top shell, the latching component is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the laptop top shell, and the latching device is fixedly mounted on the top of the laptop base. Through the cooperation of the identification structure, latching component, and latching device, when the laptop top shell and laptop base are closed, the latching component and latching device are connected, creating a self-locking mechanism to prevent direct use by unauthorized personnel. When a user needs to open the laptop, they place their finger on the fingerprint recognition device. After successful recognition, the electromagnet is energized, causing the latching block to no longer restrict the latching component, allowing the user to easily open the laptop. It is evident that some laptop casings already incorporate electromagnets.

[0003] like Figure 1 The laptop casing 1' shown has a rectangular groove on its inner surface, within which a magnetic strip 2' of corresponding size is bonded. Currently, this is typically done manually, by applying glue to the rectangular groove and then manually bonding the magnetic strip 2' to it, resulting in low production efficiency. To improve efficiency, automated equipment needs to be developed to replace manual labor. Current automated equipment usually uses a single material carrier (carrying the laptop casing), meaning the glue applicator and suction head (picking up the magnetic strip 2') can only work on one laptop casing at a time. The next operation requires waiting for a continuous supply of laptop casings to be transported to and removed from the carrier, a process that consumes time and impacts the overall efficiency of the automated equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alternating feeding assembly for a notebook computer casing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a notebook shell alternating feeding assembly, comprising:

[0006] The control panel has a clearance space in the middle of its upper surface.

[0007] The first feeding mechanism includes two support plates mounted on the upper surface of the operating table and located on both sides of the clearance space, a first carrier plate slidably mounted on the two support plates, and a first material loading mold mounted on the first carrier plate.

[0008] The second feeding mechanism includes a second carrier plate slidably mounted on the upper surface of the operating table, a transfer plate disposed above the second carrier plate, an actuator mounted on the bottom surface of the second carrier plate with its piston rod passing through the second carrier plate to connect with the transfer plate, and a second loading mold mounted on the transfer plate and alternately feeding material with the first loading mold.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the alternating feeding assembly for the notebook shell of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figure 2 The alternating feeding assembly for the notebook casing shown mainly includes an operating table 1, a first feeding mechanism 2, and a second feeding mechanism 3.

[0019] The upper surface of the control panel 1 has a clearance space 11 in the middle, and the clearance space 11 is rectangular in shape.

[0020] The first feeding mechanism 2 includes structures such as support plates 21, first carrier plates 25, and first material-carrying molds 27. There are two support plates 21, which are mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1 and located on both sides of the clearance space 11, such that the extending direction of the support plates 21 is parallel to the extending direction of the clearance space 11. The first carrier plates 25 are slidably mounted on the two support plates 21; the first material-carrying mold 27 is mounted on the first carrier plate 25 and has a first positioning groove 271 for supporting the notebook casing (i.e., the upper surface of the first material-carrying mold 27 has a first positioning groove 271 for placing and positioning the notebook casing to which the magnet block is to be attached). In this embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 2 also includes a first slide rail 22 mounted on the upper surface of each support plate 21; that is, there are also two first slide rails 22, which are mounted one-to-one on the support plates 21. The first feeding mechanism 2 also includes at least one first slider 26 slidably mounted on each first slide rail 22 and a first ball screw linear module 23 mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1 and connected to the first carrier plate 25. Specifically, each first slide rail 22 is equipped with two first sliders 26 spaced apart, so that the first carrier plate 25 is mounted on four first sliders 26, improving the sliding stability of the first carrier plate 25. Moreover, the first ball screw linear module 23 is located outside any carrier plate 21, so that when the first ball screw linear module 23 is working, it can drive the first carrier plate 25 to move back and forth linearly on the first slide rail 22. The first feeding mechanism 2 also includes a baffle plate 24 mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1 and located outside the first ball screw linear module 23 to avoid affecting the normal operation of the first ball screw linear module 23.

[0021] The second feeding mechanism 3 includes a second carrier plate 33, a transfer plate 35, an actuator 36, and a second feeding mold 37. The second carrier plate 33 is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1. Specifically, the second feeding mechanism 3 also includes a second slide rail 31 mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1 and located inside the support plate 21, at least one second slider 34 (preferably two spaced apart in this embodiment) slidably mounted on the second slide rail 31, and a second ball screw linear module 32 mounted on the upper surface of the operating table 1 and located inside the other support plate 21 (so that the second slide rail 31 and the second ball screw linear module 32 are located between the two support plates 21, but on both sides of the clearance space 11). At this time, the second carrier plate 33 is mounted on the second slider 34 and the second ball screw linear module 32. When the second ball screw linear module 32 works, it can drive the second carrier plate 33 to move back and forth linearly on the second slide rail 31 and the second ball screw linear module 32. The adapter plate 35 is positioned above the second carrier plate 33, on its upper surface but not connected to it, allowing it to move relative to the second carrier plate 33 under the influence of other structures. The actuator 36 is mounted on the bottom surface of the second carrier plate 33; it can be a conventional part such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, or telescopic cylinder. Its piston rod passes through the second carrier plate 33 and connects to the adapter plate 35, so that when the actuator 36 operates, it can drive the adapter plate 35 to move up and down relative to the second carrier plate 33. The second material loading mold 37 is mounted on the adapter plate 35 and alternately feeds material with the first material loading mold 27. Its structure is the same as the first material loading mold 27, and it also has a second positioning groove 371 for supporting the notebook casing.

[0022] As described above, the first loading mold 27 performs only one action: under the drive of the first ball screw linear module 23, it moves back and forth linearly along the first slide rail 22 with the first carrier plate 25. The second loading mold 37, however, can perform two actions: first, under the drive of the actuator 36, it moves up and down with the adapter plate 35; second, under the drive of the second ball screw linear module 32, it moves back and forth linearly with the second carrier plate 33. To avoid interference between the first loading mold 27 and the second loading mold 37, in the initial position (i.e., when neither the first loading mold 27 nor the second loading mold 37 is moving), such as... Figure 1(As shown) The second loading mold 37 is lower than the first carrier plate 25. At this time, a conventional robotic arm transfers the laptop casings (for clarity, the laptop casing is defined as the first one; several laptop casings are arranged sequentially on the assembly line) from the existing production line to the first loading mold 27 (this part is not the inventive point of this application; existing conventional methods can be used, it is only to illustrate the operation process of the laptop casing alternating feeding component). Subsequently, driven by the first ball screw linear module 23, the first loading mold 27 moves linearly along the first carrier plate 25 on the first slide rail 22 to the second position (i.e., the working position), allowing the working device to apply glue and attach the ferromagnetic strip 2' in the rectangular groove of the laptop casing 1' (this part is not the inventive point of this application; existing conventional methods can be used, it is only to illustrate the operation process of the laptop casing alternating feeding component); during the movement of the first loading mold 27, the aforementioned robotic arm The next laptop casing (i.e., the second laptop casing) is transferred to the second loading mold 37. After the operation is completed, the first loading mold 27 is reset, and the robot arm transfers the finished laptop casing to the production line. Then, the third laptop casing is transferred to the first loading mold 27. The second loading mold 37 moves linearly along the second slide rail 31 with the second carrier plate 33, and then moves up and down to the second position driven by the actuator 36 (at this time, the second loading mold 37 and the first loading mold 27 are on the same horizontal plane) for the operation device to operate. After the operation is completed, the second loading mold 37 is reset (during the reset of the second loading mold 37, the first loading mold 27 repeats the previous action). The robot arm transfers the finished laptop casing to the production line, and then the fourth laptop casing is transferred to the second loading mold 37. This cycle continues.

[0023] To further improve the automation level of the alternating feeding assembly for notebook casings, the following structural modifications are preferred: Several sensors (commercially available photoelectric sensors, such as Omron E3JK-R4M1) and a controller (such as Mitsubishi FX2NC-PLC) are added. The controller is connected to the sensors, the motors of each ball screw linear module, and the actuator 36. For example, a sensor can be installed on each of the first and second loading molds 27 to detect whether a notebook casing is being loaded. Additionally, a sensor can be installed at the initial position of each of the first and second loading molds 27 via a support frame (ensuring this does not affect the operation of other structures) to detect whether the first and second loading molds 27 have reset. The signal control in this part needs to be integrated with the aforementioned actions and interference between the various structures should be avoided. For example, when it is detected that the first loading mold 27 is loaded with a laptop casing and both the first loading mold 27 and the second loading mold 37 are in their initial positions, the controller first sends a signal to the first ball screw linear module 23 to activate it, causing the first loading mold 27 to move to its working position. Subsequently, when it is detected that the first loading mold 27 is in the process of resetting and that the second loading mold 37 is loaded with a laptop casing, the controller sends a signal to the second ball screw linear module 32 to activate it, and then sends a signal to the actuator 36 to activate it, causing the second loading mold 37 to move to its working position. This process can be repeated. In fact, as long as the laptop casings can be supplied alternately without interference, any conventional method can be used.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
