Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product assembly technology, and in particular to a positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly process of electronic devices, it is often necessary to connect different electronic components through ribbon cables. However, due to the complex internal structure of electronic devices, the relatively soft ribbon cables often need to be bent in many places to avoid other electronic components. When the ribbon cables adapt to the internal structure of electronic devices, they are often bent into irregular shapes and require positioning and mounting on multiple sides. This usually requires manual operation. Due to the limited operating space in electronic devices, it is not easy to operate and the assembly efficiency is low. At the same time, manual operation is prone to touching electronic components, which can affect the connection between electronic components and circuit boards, thus reducing the product yield.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to study a positioning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0039] Before explaining any implementation of this application in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to its application to the structural details and component arrangements set forth in the following description or shown in the above drawings.

[0040] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0041] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "and / or" relationship.

[0042] In this application, the terms "connection," "combination," "coupling," and "installation" can refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediary, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediary, with the connection achieved through the intermediary. Furthermore, "connection" and "coupling" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.

[0043] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​not using relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.

[0044] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0045] In this application, the directional terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to describe the orientation and positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when an element is mentioned as being connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element.

For example, "below" can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower rear.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning device for positioning ribbon cables to avoid other electronic components during assembly and improve assembly efficiency. The positioning device includes a base 100, a lifting assembly 200, and several movable clamping members 300. The base 100 has a worktable 110 and a mounting base 120 arranged vertically at intervals, with the worktable 110 located above the mounting base 120. The worktable 110 has a vertically penetrating mounting channel 111 and a fixed clamping member 112, which has several fixed clamping parts 113. The fixed clamping member 112 has several clearance grooves, and several suction members 130 are correspondingly disposed in the clearance grooves and are connected to the several fixed clamping parts 300. The holding parts 113 are arranged at intervals; the lifting assembly 200 includes a lifting member 210, which moves relative to the base 100 and moves vertically between a ready position and a clearance position; a plurality of movable clamping members 300 are slidably disposed on the lifting member 210 in the horizontal direction and correspond one-to-one with a plurality of fixed clamping parts 113; when the lifting member 210 is in the ready position, the clamping end of the movable clamping member 300 is located above the installation channel 111 and is opposite to the corresponding fixed clamping part 113, and the movable clamping member 300 moves closer to or away from the corresponding fixed clamping part 113. In use, the ribbon cable is placed sequentially between several movable clamping parts 300 and several fixed clamping parts 113 according to its extension direction. The movable clamping parts 300 approach the corresponding fixed clamping parts 113 to clamp the ribbon cable. Then, the suction part 130 suctions the ribbon cable, and the movable clamping parts 300 move away from the corresponding fixed clamping parts 113 and move downward to the avoidance position under the action of the lifting part 210. This makes the ribbon cable adhere to the several fixed clamping parts 113, which is convenient for the robot to pick up from above. During the transfer process, the ribbon cable maintains a fixed shape so as to avoid other electronic components during the assembly process, thereby improving assembly efficiency and ensuring the yield rate.

[0047] In other embodiments, the movable clamping member 300 may also correspond to the adsorption member 130. That is, the movable clamping member 300 can approach or move away from the adsorption member 130. As the movable clamping member 300 approaches the adsorption member 130, the cable is pushed towards the adsorption member 130 and thus adsorbed by the adsorption member 130. The opening of the adsorption member 130 faces the movable clamping member 300.

[0048] Several fixed clamping parts 113 are distributed and not collinear. This arrangement allows the ribbon cable to be positioned in a non-linear state to adapt to different installation spaces. For example, there are six movable clamping members 300, generally arranged in a U-shape, which forms a generally U-shape after the ribbon cable is clamped and positioned. In other embodiments, the positions of the movable clamping members 300 can be reasonably arranged according to different installation spaces to allow the ribbon cable to be bent into different shapes, not limited to the shapes described in the above embodiments.

[0049] In some embodiments, the clamping end of the movable clamp 300 at the corner has an arc-shaped surface, which helps the cable form an arc angle at the corner and improves its service life.

[0050] The workbench 110 has several installation channels 111, each of which is spaced apart and corresponds to a number of movable clamping parts 300. The installation channels 111 extend vertically through the workbench 110, and each movable clamping part 300 passes through the installation channel 111 and can move horizontally within the installation channel 111.

[0051] In some embodiments, the positioning device includes a plurality of first elastic elements 310, which are disposed between the corresponding movable clamping member 300 and the lifting member 210, and apply an elastic force to the corresponding movable clamping member 300. The movable clamping member 300 is subjected to the elastic force and moves closer to the corresponding fixed clamping part 113. The above arrangement ensures that the force between the movable clamping member 300 and the fixed clamping part 113 is elastic, which helps to ensure the clamping effect on the ribbon cable and avoids damage to the ribbon cable.

[0052] For example, the first elastic element 310 is a compression spring, which is disposed between the movable clamping member 300 and the lifting member 210. Each movable clamping member 300 corresponds to two first elastic elements 310, and the two first elastic elements 310 corresponding to the same movable clamping member 300 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The arrangement of two first elastic elements 310 helps to ensure that the movable clamping member 300 is subjected to stable force and that the movement process is smoother.

[0053] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 200 further includes a lifting drive 220, which is disposed on the base 100 and whose output end is connected to the lifting assembly 210 for driving the lifting assembly 210 to move between a ready position and a clearance position, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment. The lifting drive 220 is a slide cylinder, and the lifting assembly 210 is disposed at the output end of the slide cylinder.

[0054] The positioning device also includes a guide 410, a toggle seat 420, a toggle drive 430, and several toggle members 440. The guide 410 extends vertically and is fixedly mounted on the lifting member 210. The toggle seat 420 is slidably mounted on the guide 410 and is located below the lifting member 210. Several toggle members 440 are mounted on the toggle seat 420 and each has a first inclined surface 441. The several toggle members 440 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with several movable clamping members 300. Each movable clamping member 300 has a second inclined surface 320 that is parallel to and abuts against the first inclined surface 441 on the corresponding toggle member 440. The toggle drive 430 is mounted on the lifting member 210 and its output end abuts against the toggle member 440 to drive the toggle member 440 to rise and move the movable clamping member 300 away from the corresponding fixed clamping part 113. The actuating element 440 is located on the side of the corresponding movable clamping element 300 near the fixed clamping part 113. During the process of the actuating drive element 430 driving the actuating seat 420 to rise, several actuating elements 440 rise synchronously. With the cooperation of the first inclined surface 441 and the second inclined surface 320, the movable clamping element 300 is driven away from the fixed clamping part 113, thereby pushing the cable against the suction nozzle of the suction element 130.

[0055] To improve the smoothness of movement of the toggle seat 420, in some embodiments, there are several guide members 410, which are arranged in parallel, and the toggle seat 420 is simultaneously slidably disposed on several guide members 410.

[0056] In some embodiments, the inclinations of the plurality of first inclined surfaces 441 are different, and the inclinations of the plurality of second inclined surfaces 320 are the same as those of the corresponding first inclined surfaces 441. Each movable clamping member 300 and the corresponding fixed clamping part 113 form a clamping point. Along the extension direction of the ribbon cable, the plurality of clamping points are arranged sequentially, and the inclinations of the plurality of first inclined surfaces 441 gradually decrease, so that during the descent of the toggle member 440, the plurality of movable clamping members 300 sequentially approach the corresponding fixed clamping part 113 along the extension direction of the ribbon cable. The above arrangement makes the process of clamping and positioning the ribbon cable such that after one end of the ribbon cable is clamped, multiple positions on the ribbon cable are clamped sequentially along the extension direction of the ribbon cable, thereby helping the ribbon cable to gradually form a preset shape during the clamping process. Moreover, when a later position is clamped, the previous position has already been clamped, so it will not affect the ribbon cable before the previous position.

[0057] The guide member 410 includes a guide body 411 and a stop portion 412 located at the lower end of the guide body 411. The actuating seat 420 has a guide hole, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the guide body 411 and smaller than the diameter of the stop portion 412. The guide body 411 passes through the guide hole. The above arrangement ensures a stable connection between the actuating seat 420 and the guide member 410 and effectively prevents the actuating seat 420 from detaching from the guide member 410. Under the action of gravity, the actuating seat 420 automatically moves downward to move away from the lifting member 210, thereby keeping the movable clamping member 300 clamped to the fixed clamping member 113.

[0058] The positioning device includes a second elastic element 450, which is disposed between the actuating seat 420 and the lifting member 210, and applies an elastic force to the actuating member 440 to move the actuating member 440 away from the lifting member 210. This arrangement makes it easier for the actuating seat 420 to move away from the lifting member 210, improving the reliability of the movable clamping member 300 approaching the fixed clamping part 113.

[0059] The second elastic element 450 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide element 410, with its upper end abutting against the lifting element 210 and its lower end abutting against the toggle seat 420. In this embodiment, the output end of the toggle drive element 430 abuts against the lower part of the toggle seat 420. When the output end of the toggle drive element 430 moves upward, it abuts against and drives the toggle seat 420 to move upward. At this time, the spring is compressed. When the output end of the toggle drive element 430 moves downward, the toggle seat 420 moves downward accordingly. When the toggle seat 420 moves downward and abuts against the stop part 412, it can no longer move. After that, the output end of the toggle drive element 430 continues to move downward to separate from the toggle seat 420. The toggle drive element 430 is a cylinder, and the output end of the cylinder is provided with a top block, which can abut against the toggle seat 420.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
