Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to an automatic assembly equipment for electric vehicle switches. Background Technology

[0002] The DD3 electric vehicle switch is a small push-button switch, a commonly used integrated switch module in electric vehicle control systems. This switch is widely compatible with mainstream electric vehicle brands and enjoys high versatility in the electric vehicle parts market. The DD3 switch features a self-resetting design, automatically springing back to its original position after being pressed, providing a clear tactile feedback and sensitive response.

[0003] Currently, the assembly of DD3 electric vehicle switches mainly relies on manual assembly or semi-automatic equipment. This assembly process suffers from the following technical defects: Electric vehicle switches are typically assembled by workers manually inserting components one by one into the switch housing holes. The entire assembly process is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production. Furthermore, the compact internal structure of the electric vehicle switch requires precise insertion of small springs into the mounting holes during assembly. Even with semi-automatic equipment, the assembly is still significantly affected by subjective factors such as the operator's skill level and fatigue, easily leading to problems such as improper, incorrect, or missing component installations. This results in a high defect rate and affects the overall quality stability of the product.
