Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electronic component assembly equipment, and in particular to a plastic part feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of auxiliary components for electronic devices, plastic parts play a crucial role in structural support, insulation protection, lightweighting, and cost optimization. Their high insulation ensures circuit safety, their corrosion resistance allows them to adapt to complex environments, and injection molding enables complex structural designs while reducing overall weight and production costs. Furthermore, plastic parts can integrate functional units such as clips and guide rails, simplifying assembly processes. Modification can also enhance their flame-retardant and anti-static properties, making them a key material for the miniaturization and modular design of electronic devices.
[0003] Based on this, Chinese patent document CN114760752A discloses an in-mold decorative plastic part and circuit integrated product, which includes: an integrally injection-molded surface decorative film, a plastic body, and a flexible circuit board. The lower surface of the surface decorative film is printed with functional ink for touch operation. The flexible circuit board includes a PC substrate, and the surface of the PC substrate is printed with transparent conductive ink and conductive silver paste. Electronic components are integrated on the surface of the flexible circuit board, and a flexible connector is welded to the bottom end of the flexible circuit board. The patent document also provides a manufacturing process for the in-mold decorative plastic part and circuit integrated product. Through this manufacturing method, the size and weight of the overall component space can be significantly reduced, while reducing the dependence on the circuit board.
[0004] However, existing electronic component assembly processes suffer from insufficient feeding efficiency. Specifically, current technologies primarily rely on manual loading and unloading, but a feeding mechanism is indispensable in electronic component assembly. Its necessity lies in automating and precisely transporting materials, such as plastic and metal parts, thereby significantly improving production efficiency and consistency, while also reducing human error and damage risks. This feeding mechanism can adapt to high-speed production, ensuring components are stably supplied to the workstation along a preset path and with the correct posture. It also integrates sensors for real-time correction, making it a core foundation for ensuring large-scale, high-precision assembly. Utility Model Content

[0027] Specifically, when the plastic part feeding mechanism of this utility model is in operation, the plastic part to be conveyed can be placed on the reciprocating carrier 5. After the reciprocating carrier 5 limits the connection of the plastic part, the drive mechanism 3 is energized and starts, and drives the end transmission structure 2 to move.

The transmission toothed belt 4 is movably inserted in the guide rail support frame 1 and movably disposed above the guide rail support frame 1. Both ends of the transmission toothed belt 4 are respectively supported and connected to the end transmission structure 2. Therefore, when the drive mechanism 3 drives the end transmission structure 2, the transmission toothed belt 4 can reciprocate and rotate around the guide rail support frame 1 and above. The reciprocating carrier 5 is connected to the transmission toothed belt 4, so that the transmission toothed belt 4 can drive the reciprocating carrier 5 to reciprocate and convey plastic parts and other materials along a preset position. Therefore, this utility model provides a plastic parts feeding mechanism that can automatically reciprocate and transport plastic parts and other materials. This mechanism can automatically feed materials, avoiding the low feeding efficiency caused by manual feeding. Thus, this utility model solves the technical problem of how to improve the automatic feeding efficiency of plastic parts.

[0032] Specifically, after the motor 302 is powered on and started, it can drive the output shaft 303 to rotate. The output shaft 303 is inserted into and connected to a transmission shaft 203, thereby driving the transmission shaft 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding transmission wheel 204 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 204 rotates, the transmission toothed belt 4 can rotate, and then the transmission toothed belt 4 can move through the toothed belt connecting seat 501; in turn, the toothed belt connecting seat 501 can drive the support frame 502; and the guide pulleys 505 provided at the ends of the reciprocating support shafts 504 connected to the side supports 503 on both sides of the support frame 502 can move along the linear guide 104, thereby providing guidance and limiting for the reciprocating movement of the support frame 502, so that its reciprocating movement is more stable.
