[0052] This utility model provides a watch fixing fixture and unlocking device, which is suitable for application scenarios that provide fixing and protection for smart watches. It can effectively protect smart watches from damage before plasma air cleaning and facilitate the removal of smart watches to complete the cleaning operation.
[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the one hand, this embodiment provides a watch fixing fixture, including a lower mold assembly 1 for placing a smartwatch, and an upper mold assembly 2 that is detachably assembled above the lower mold assembly 1 and cooperates with the lower mold assembly 1 to press the smartwatch downward.
[0054] The lower mold assembly 1 includes a lower mold base plate 101 and several elastic link clamping assemblies 102.
[0055] The lower mold base plate 101 is provided with a plurality of slots for placing smartwatches. Each slot is provided with two elastic link clamping assemblies 102; wherein, the elastic link clamping assembly 102 is used to engage with the watch strap slot on the side of the smartwatch in the slot after being subjected to elastic force, so as to prevent the smartwatch from detaching from the corresponding slot.
[0056] The watch fixing fixture provided in this embodiment allows for the transport of smartwatches. First, the smartwatch is placed in the placement slot. Then, the elastic link clamping assembly 102 can be engaged with the smartwatch in the placement slot under the action of elasticity, thereby preventing the smartwatch from detaching from the corresponding placement slot. Next, the upper mold assembly 2 is installed above the lower mold assembly 1 to protect the top surface of the smartwatch.
[0057] This provides good protection for the smartwatch, effectively preventing it from being scratched or damaged during transportation.
[0058] The elastic link clamping assembly 102 includes a transverse slide bar 1021, a rotating clamping plate 1022, and a clamping spring 1023.
[0059] The transverse slide bar 1021 is slidably connected to the lower mold base plate 101 in the horizontal direction. The upper end of the rotating clamping plate 1022 is provided with a hook for engaging the smartwatch. The middle part of the rotating clamping plate 1022 is rotatably connected to the lower mold base plate 101 around the horizontal pivot 1024. The lower end of the rotating clamping plate 1022 is connected to the end of the transverse slide bar 1021 near the placement slot. The clamping spring 1023 is sleeved on the transverse slide bar 1021.
[0060] The transverse slide bar 1021 is driven by the clamping spring 1023 to slide away from the placement slot relative to the lower mold base plate 101, so that the upper end of the rotating clamping plate 1022 rotates inward to the extended state of being inserted into the smartwatch; and it is also driven to slide towards the placement slot relative to the lower mold base plate 101, so that the upper end of the rotating clamping plate 1022 rotates outward to the retracted state of being disengaged from the smartwatch.
[0061] The lower end of the rotating plate 1022 is provided with a limiting post 1025, and the transverse slide bar 1021 is provided with a U-shaped groove 1026 that accommodates the limiting post 1025 and has an upward opening.
[0062] When the transverse slide bar 1021 is in the extended state, the limiting post 1025 moves upward relative to the U-shaped groove 1026 to a position close to the opening of the U-shaped groove 1026;
[0063] When the transverse slide bar 1021 is in the retracted state, the limiting post 1025 moves downward relative to the U-shaped groove 1026 to a position close to the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1026.
[0064] After the smartwatch is placed in the placement slot of the lower mold base plate 101, the horizontal slide bar 1021 slides outward under the action of the clamping spring 1023, so that the hook part of the rotating plate 1022 is engaged in the watch strap slot of the smartwatch, thereby fixing the smartwatch and preventing it from moving up and down.
[0065] When the horizontal slide bar 1021 is pressed inward from the outside, causing it to slide inward, the hook of the rotating plate 1022 disengages from the smartwatch's strap slot, thereby releasing the smartwatch.
[0066] Optionally, the lower mold base plate 101 includes a metal base plate 1011 and a replaceable insert 1012 that is detachably mounted on the metal base plate 1011 and is provided with the placement groove;
[0067] The replaceable insert 1012 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 1022, and the metal base plate 1011 is slidably connected to the transverse slide bar 1021.
[0068] Optionally, both the replaceable insert 1012 and the rotating plate 1022 are made of plastic. Plastic parts have low hardness and are not easily scratched or damaged in the smartwatch.
[0069] In this embodiment, the upper mold assembly 2 includes an upper mold base 201 and a plurality of pressing components corresponding to each of the counterweight slots. The upper mold base 201 has a counterweight slot corresponding to each of the placement slots; the pressing components include a replaceable counterweight 202 and a silicone pad 203 located at the bottom of the replaceable counterweight 202 to press the smartwatch downwards. If the smartwatch has just undergone an adhesive bonding process, the pressing action of the upper mold assembly 2 can maintain pressure; adjusting the weight of the replaceable counterweight 202 adjusts the pressure maintaining effect.
[0070] In this embodiment, the bottom of the upper mold base 201 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 204, and the lower mold base plate 101 is provided with positioning holes 1013 for inserting the corresponding positioning protrusions 204 at the corresponding positions. The positioning protrusions 204 are inserted into the positioning holes 1013 to achieve alignment between the upper mold assembly 2 and the lower mold assembly 1.
[0071] See Figure 3 On the other hand, this embodiment provides an unlocking device, including a lifting horizontal blocking device 3, a lifting positioning mechanism 4, and several unlocking mechanisms 5.
[0072] The lifting-type lateral movement blocking device 3 is used to rise upwards to limit the watch fixing fixture from continuing to move laterally with the conveyor belt. The lifting-type positioning mechanism 4 is used to insert upwards into the lower mold assembly 1 of the watch fixing fixture to limit the horizontal displacement of the lower mold assembly 1. Each unlocking mechanism 5 is provided corresponding to one elastic link clamping assembly 102, and the unlocking mechanism 5 is used to push the elastic link clamping assembly 102 laterally so that the elastic link clamping assembly 102 is disengaged from the smartwatch.
[0073] The lifting positioning mechanism 4 includes a plurality of positioning pins 401 and a lifting linear drive mechanism 402 that drives each of the positioning pins 401 to move up and down. Accordingly, the lower mold base plate 101 is provided with pin holes through which the positioning pins 401 pass.
[0074] The unlocking mechanism 5 includes an unlocking push rod 501 and an unlocking linear drive mechanism 502 that drives the unlocking push rod 501 to move closer to or away from the elastic link clamping assembly 102.
[0075] Initially, the upstream feeding equipment has already placed the smartwatch in the placement trough, and the watch fixing fixture is placed on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the watch fixing fixture to the unlocking device near the plasma air cleaning equipment. The unlocking device provided in this embodiment operates as follows:
[0076] ① Lifting and horizontal movement blocking device 3 is activated: When the watch fixing fixture reaches the designated position with the conveyor belt, the lifting and horizontal movement blocking device 3 rises up and blocks the watch fixing fixture from the front and back, restricting the watch fixing fixture from continuing to move with the conveyor belt and ensuring that the unlocking process is carried out in a fixed position.
[0077] ② Remove the upper mold assembly 2 using a robotic arm or other mechanism.
[0078] ② Lifting positioning mechanism 4 works: When the lifting positioning mechanism 4 is activated, the positioning pin 401 rises to extend into the pin hole, and at this time, the horizontal limit of the lower mold assembly 1 can be achieved;
[0079] ③ Unlocking mechanism 5 is activated: The unlocking linear drive mechanism 502 starts working, driving the unlocking push rod 501 to approach the elastic link clamping assembly 102. The unlocking push rod 501 contacts the elastic link clamping assembly 102, applying a lateral thrust to the elastic link clamping assembly 102.
[0080] ④ Unlocking the elastic linkage clamping assembly 102: Under the lateral pushing force of the unlocking push rod 501, the transverse slide rod 1021 slides inward, causing the hook part of the rotating plate 1022 to rotate outward until it disengages from the smartwatch's strap slot. At this time, the smartwatch's limit is completely released, and the material handling robot and other mechanisms can then remove the smartwatch from the placement slot and place it into the plasma air cleaning equipment for cleaning.
[0081] ⑤ After cleaning, the robotic arm places the smartwatch back into the placement slot. To do this, simply press the smartwatch downwards into the slot; the rotating clamp 1022 will first automatically rotate outwards, then automatically rotate inwards under elastic force to secure the smartwatch. Finally, the upper mold assembly 2 can be placed back in.
[0082] It should be noted that the linear drive mechanism mentioned in this utility model can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or motor lead screw linear module, etc., and the rotary drive mechanism mentioned can be a brushed motor, brushless motor, or rotary cylinder, etc. This utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the linear drive mechanism and the rotary drive mechanism.
[0083] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
