Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic mounting equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic flip-mounting device. Background Technology
[0002] In camera modules of large-screen products (such as smart TVs, conference tablets, and advertising machines), a glass panel is usually attached to the front of the camera module to protect it. This type of glass panel integrates a light sensor, a camera window, and the customer's logo.
[0003] Due to the design requirements of glass panels, there are no borders on the edges of such glass panels. As a result, when applying glass panels with general application tools, there is no border as a reference, which makes it impossible to ensure accurate application. However, manual application is too dependent on the operator's application skills and will seriously affect the application efficiency of glass panels, resulting in low application efficiency and unreliable application quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic flip-attachment device with good operational flexibility, high attachment efficiency and precision.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention can be implemented using the following technical solutions:
[0006] An automatic flip-and-apply device includes an operating housing, a positioning mechanism, a flipping mechanism, and an applicating mechanism. The positioning mechanism and the applicating mechanism are respectively mounted on the operating housing, with the applicating mechanism located above the positioning mechanism. The flipping mechanism is connected to the applicating mechanism. The applicating mechanism can drive the flipping mechanism to move closer to or further away from the positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism is used to clamp and position the product. The flipping mechanism is used to pick up the applicator sheet and can flip the applicator sheet at a set angle. The applicating mechanism is used to drive the flipping mechanism to move so as to apply the applicator sheet to the product.
[0007] In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a lower mold positioning plate and a clamping cylinder. The lower mold positioning plate is movably mounted on the operating box. Abutment plates are respectively provided on the left and rear sides of the lower mold positioning plate, and clamping cylinders are respectively provided on the front and right sides of the lower mold positioning plate. The abutment plates on the left and rear sides and the clamping cylinders on the front and right sides together form a positioning space.
[0008] In one embodiment, adjusting nuts are provided around the lower mold positioning plate, which are used to adjust the position of the lower mold positioning plate installed in the operating box.
[0009] In one embodiment, the output end of the clamping cylinder is provided with a pressure head made of soft rubber.
[0010] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes a mounting frame, an upper mold positioning plate, and a flipping motor. The mounting frame is connected to the attachment mechanism, the flipping motor is located on one side of the mounting frame, and the upper mold positioning plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame and connected to the flipping motor. The flipping motor can drive the upper mold positioning plate to flip.
[0011] In one embodiment, the upper mold positioning plate has a positioning groove, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of vacuum adsorption holes, and adjustment blocks are respectively provided on the two sides adjacent to the positioning groove.
[0012] In one embodiment, the attachment mechanism includes a pressing cylinder, a pressing plate, and a guide post.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] It should be noted that when an element is said to be "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is said to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. Conversely, when an element is said to be "directly on" another element, there is no intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3An automatic flip-and-apply device includes an operating housing 100, a positioning mechanism 200, a flipping mechanism 300, and an applicating mechanism 400. The positioning mechanism 200 and the applicating mechanism 400 are respectively mounted on the operating housing 100, with the applicating mechanism 400 located above the positioning mechanism 200. The flipping mechanism 300 is connected to the applicating mechanism 400. The applicating mechanism 400 can drive the flipping mechanism 300 to move closer to or further away from the positioning mechanism 200. The positioning mechanism 200 is used to clamp and position the product. The flipping mechanism 300 is used to pick up the applicator and can flip the applicator at a set angle. The applicating mechanism 400 is used to drive the flipping mechanism 300 to move so as to apply the applicator to the product.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, when attaching the adhesive sheet (glass panel) to the product (camera module), the glass panel and the camera module are placed at the flipping mechanism 300 and the positioning mechanism 200, respectively. The flipping mechanism 300 adsorbs the glass panel, while the positioning mechanism 200 positions the camera module to ensure the positional accuracy between the glass panel and the camera module. After the glass panel is adsorbed, the flipping mechanism 300 drives the glass panel to flip at a set angle so that the adsorbed glass panel is facing the camera. When the module is assembled, the attaching mechanism 400 will drive the flipping mechanism 300 to move downward. After the flipping mechanism 300 moves downward to the set position, it can attach the adsorbed glass panel to the camera module, thereby realizing automatic attachment of the glass panel. Automatic attachment can ensure the consistency of glass panel attachment. At the same time, through the cooperation between the positioning mechanism 200, the flipping mechanism 300 and the attaching mechanism 400, the glass panel can be operated with good flexibility during attachment, and the attachment efficiency and attachment quality of the glass panel can be improved.
[0028] To control the bonding equipment, several control buttons 110 are provided on the control box 100, including an adjustment / production button, a flip button, a vacuum suction button, a pressure start button, and an emergency stop button. When the adjustment / production button is in adjustment mode, the angle of the flip mechanism 300 can be adjusted and the data saved. Then, the vacuum suction button, flip button, and pressure start button can be individually controlled to ensure that the vacuum, flip, and pressure actions are normal. When the adjustment / production button is in production mode, the angle of the flip mechanism 300 cannot be adjusted. Furthermore, in production mode, the pressure operation can only be performed after the vacuum suction button is activated to ensure the bonding sheet (glass panel) is firmly adhered before flipping, thus preventing mistaken operation. Ultimately, the bonding equipment can be controlled through these buttons, improving its operational flexibility.
[0029] Please see Figure 2To achieve the positioning of the camera module, the positioning mechanism 200 in this embodiment includes a lower mold positioning plate 210 and a clamping cylinder 220. The lower mold positioning plate 210 is movably mounted on the operating housing 100. Abutment plates 211 are respectively provided on the left and rear sides of the lower mold positioning plate 210, and clamping cylinders 220 are respectively provided on the front and right sides of the lower mold positioning plate 210. The abutment plates 211 on the left and rear sides and the clamping cylinders 220 on the front and right sides together form a positioning space 230. When the camera module is placed in the positioning space 230, the front and right sides of the camera module are pressed by the clamping cylinders 220 on the front and right sides of the lower mold positioning plate, thereby pressing the back and left sides of the camera module against the abutment plates 211 on the rear and left sides of the lower mold positioning plate 210. This achieves the positioning of the camera module, ensuring that the camera module is stably placed in the positioning space 230, which facilitates the subsequent attachment of the glass panel and ensures the accuracy of the glass panel attachment.
[0030] Of course, in order to avoid damage to the product (camera module), the output end of the clamping cylinder 220 is equipped with a pressure head 221 made of soft rubber. The pressure head 221 made of soft rubber can avoid damaging the product and thus effectively protect the product.
[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to better position the product (camera module) at the positioning mechanism 200 and the attachment piece (glass panel) at the flipping mechanism, adjusting nuts 240 are respectively provided around the lower mold positioning plate 210. By turning the adjusting nuts 240 around the plate, the position (front, back, left, right) of the lower mold positioning plate 210 installed in the operating housing 100 can be adjusted, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the lower mold positioning plate 210, so that the position of the camera module on the lower mold positioning plate 210 can better match the glass panel at the flipping mechanism 300, ensuring the subsequent attachment accuracy.
[0032] Please see Figure 3 In order to achieve the flipping and attachment of the glass panel, the flipping mechanism 300 in this embodiment includes a mounting frame 310, an upper mold positioning plate 320 and a flipping motor 330. The mounting frame 310 is connected to the attachment mechanism 400. The flipping motor 330 is disposed on one side of the mounting frame 310. The upper mold positioning plate 320 is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame 310 and is connected to the flipping motor 330. The flipping motor 330 can drive the upper mold positioning plate 320 to flip. At the same time, the upper mold positioning plate 320 has a positioning groove 321. The surface of the positioning groove 321 is provided with a plurality of vacuum adsorption holes 322, and adjustment blocks 323 are respectively provided on the two adjacent sides of the positioning groove 321.
[0033] Initially, the positioning groove 321 of the upper mold positioning plate 320 is in an upward-facing state, making it easy to place the glass panel to be attached into the positioning groove 321. After placement, the glass panel can be adsorbed through the vacuum suction hole 322, ensuring that the glass panel is stably placed in the positioning groove 321. Furthermore, to accurately position the glass panel, the adjusting blocks 323 on both sides of the positioning groove 321 can be used to limit the movement of the glass panel on both sides, thus ensuring precise placement of the glass panel within the positioning groove 321. Once the glass panel is placed, the flipping motor 330 drives the upper mold positioning plate 320 to set its position. The angle is flipped so that the positioning groove 321 of the upper mold positioning plate 320 is aligned with the positioning mechanism 200, thereby aligning the glass panel with the camera module. The subsequent attachment mechanism 400 drives the mounting bracket 310 to move downward, causing the upper mold positioning plate 320 to move downward. Once the upper mold positioning plate 320 is in place, the glass panel in the positioning groove 321 can be attached to the camera module on the positioning mechanism 200. This achieves automatic flip attachment of the glass panel, making the glass panel more flexible to operate during attachment, effectively improving the attachment efficiency of the glass panel, and ensuring the attachment quality between the glass panel and the camera module.
[0034] Finally, please see Figure 1 In order to automatically attach the glass panel at the flipping mechanism 300 to the camera module at the positioning mechanism 200, the attachment mechanism 400 in this embodiment includes a pressing cylinder 410, a pressing plate 420 and a guide post 430. The pressing cylinder 410 and the guide post 430 are respectively installed in the operating housing 100. The pressing plate 420 is movably sleeved on the guide post 430 and is connected to the output end of the pressing cylinder 410. The pressing cylinder 410 can drive the pressing plate 420 to move up and down along the guide post 430. The flipping mechanism 300 is connected to the pressing plate 420.
[0035] When the camera module and the glass panel are placed in the positioning mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 respectively, and the flipping mechanism 300 flips the glass panel, the pressing cylinder 410 drives the pressing plate 420 to move. The pressing plate 420 moves downward along the guide post 430, and the pressing plate 420 moves the flipping mechanism 300 downward along with it. When it moves to the set position, the glass panel on the flipping mechanism 300 can be attached to the camera module. After attachment, the vacuum adsorption hole 322 of the positioning groove 321 stops adsorbing the glass panel, and the pressing cylinder 410 drives the pressing plate 420 to move upward to reset, thereby resetting the flipping mechanism 300. This operation is repeated to achieve automatic flipping and attachment between the glass panel and the camera module, thereby improving attachment efficiency and attachment consistency.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description; however, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model; furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
