Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizer technology, and more specifically, to a PCB board mounting bracket for a coffee machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of PCB boards for coffee machines, key steps such as soldering and inspection require the use of clamping brackets to secure the PCB boards. Currently, these clamping brackets mostly employ a manual knob screw combined with a clamping base structure, allowing adjustment of the clamping base spacing to accommodate PCB boards of different sizes.
[0003] In practice, workers manually adjust the clamp by turning the knob and screw. Because the support frame lacks effective auxiliary positioning design, the PCB board must be manually held to maintain its level to prevent tilting or shifting during adjustment. This method is labor-intensive, increasing manpower and time. Furthermore, manual holding is prone to errors due to hand tremors and uneven force, affecting the PCB board's levelness and positional accuracy. This interferes with the precision of subsequent soldering and inspection processes, reducing production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a PCB board mounting bracket for a coffee machine, which solves the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A PCB board mounting bracket for a coffee machine includes a support column and a clamping part. The clamping part includes a drive box fixed to the top of the support column with one side open, two clamps symmetrically slidable outside the opening of the drive box, and an auxiliary part for replacing manual stabilization of the PCB board. The auxiliary part includes a limiting rod horizontally disposed below the clamps, a support assembly disposed on the limiting rod, and a pushing assembly disposed below the limiting rod. The support assembly consists of two sets located between the two clamps, and the two sets of support assemblies are symmetrically located on the body of the limiting rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the support assembly includes an L-shaped slide that slides on the body of the limiting rod and a contact plate fixed to the top of the slide.
[0008] Furthermore, the pushing component includes a fixed sleeve that is fastened to the middle section of the limiting rod, and a push-pull screw is rotatably embedded in the bottom end of the fixed sleeve. The push-pull screw has a fixed piece threadedly connected to the support column.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the limiting rod are slidably fitted with a rectangular frame-shaped limiting seat. The limiting seat is fixedly connected to the open end of the drive box via a support rod. The side of the limiting seat opposite to the clamp is also provided with a limiting piece that is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a connecting piece is vertically fixed to the bottom end of the clamp, a magnetic block one is embedded in the side of the slide corresponding to the connecting piece, and a magnetic block two corresponding to the magnetic block one is fixed on the connecting piece.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the two clamps has a V-shaped groove on its corresponding side.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up the support components and utilizing the sliding properties of the slide on the limit rod, the positions of the two sets of support components can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the PCB board to be processed. Thus, when the board is placed between the two clamps, the two sets of support components contact the two sides of the bottom surface of the PCB board, forming a stable support for the PCB board from below. Combined with the clamping part clamping from the side, a double fixing structure of "side clamp + bottom support" is constructed, which replaces the manual operation of maintaining the level and effectively avoids the problems of shaking and uneven force that are easy to occur when manually holding the board, so that the PCB board always remains stable and level during the processing.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 A PCB board mounting bracket for a coffee machine is disclosed. The bracket comprises a support column 15 and a clamping part. The clamping part includes a drive box 1 with one side open and fixed to the top of the support column 15, and two symmetrical clamps 2 slidably slid out of the opening of the drive box 1. Each clamp 2 has a V-shaped groove on its corresponding side. A lead screw 3 is provided horizontally on the inner side of the drive box 1. One end of the lead screw 3 rotates out of the drive box 1 and is fixed with a handle. The body of the lead screw 3 located inside the drive box 1 is symmetrically threaded with two nut seats 4. The two nut seats 4 are fixedly connected to the two clamps 2 one-to-one, and the outer wall of the nut seats 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drive box 1. With the clamping part, the PCB board to be processed is placed between the two clamps 2 in advance. Then, the handle is rotated, and the handle drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, so that the two nut seats 4 move towards each other along the lead screw 3. The corresponding clamps 2 move synchronously with the nut seats 4 until the side of the PCB board is embedded in the V-shaped groove and abuts against the inner wall of the V-shaped groove, thereby fixing the PCB board. Furthermore, utilizing the V-groove structure design, its inclined surface can adapt to PCB boards of different thicknesses. When the board thickness changes, the contact position of the side within the V-groove is automatically adjusted, always maintaining a stable clamping position. There is no need to adjust the clamp to adapt to the thickness, which facilitates the quick fixing of boards of different thicknesses and improves clamping adaptability and operational efficiency.
[0021] For further details, please refer to Figure 1-2 The bracket also includes an auxiliary part for replacing manual stabilization of the PCB board. The auxiliary part includes a limiting rod 7 horizontally located below the clamp 2 and a support assembly on the limiting rod 7. There are two sets of support assemblies located between the two clamps 2. The two sets of support assemblies are symmetrically located on the body of the limiting rod 7.
[0022] The support assembly includes an L-shaped slide 6 that slides on the body of the limiting rod 7 and a contact plate 5 fixed to the top of the slide 6. By using the slide 6 to slide on the body of the limiting rod 7, the positions of the two sets of support assemblies can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the PCB board to be processed. When the board is placed between the two clamps 2, the two sets of support assemblies contact the two sides of the bottom surface of the PCB board, forming a stable support for the PCB board from below. Together with the clamping part clamping from the side, a double fixing structure of "side clamp + bottom support" is constructed, which replaces the manual operation of maintaining the level. It effectively avoids the problems of shaking and uneven force that are easy to occur when manually holding the board, so that the PCB board always remains stable and level during the processing, providing a reliable positioning basis for subsequent welding, inspection and other processes.
[0023] For further details, please refer to Figure 1-3 The auxiliary part also includes a push assembly located below the limiting rod 7. The push assembly includes a fixed sleeve 10 that is fastened to the middle section of the limiting rod 7. A push-pull screw 11 is rotatably embedded in the bottom end of the fixed sleeve 10. The push-pull screw 11 is threadedly connected to a fixed plate 12 that is fixed to the support column 15. The inner wall of the fixed plate 12 is provided with an internal thread that matches the push-pull screw 11. By setting up the push assembly, rotating the screw push-pull screw 11 causes the push-pull screw 11 to pass through the inner side of the fixed plate 12 under the threaded structure, thereby driving the limiting rod 7 and the upper support assembly to rise and fall as a whole. This allows for flexible adjustment of the height of the support assembly to meet the lifting requirements of PCB boards of different thicknesses in coffee machines. With the opposing clamping of the clamping part, PCB boards of different thicknesses can be inserted into the V-shaped groove.
[0024] For further details, please refer to Figure 1-3 Both ends of the limiting rod 7 are slidably fitted with rectangular frame-shaped limiting seats 8. The limiting seats 8 are fixedly connected to the open end of the drive box 1 via support rods. On the side of the limiting seat 8 away from the clamping seat 2, there is also a limiting piece 9 fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 7. With the setting of the limiting seats 8 and the limiting pieces 9, both ends of the limiting rod 7 are slidably fitted into the rectangular frame-shaped limiting seats 8, so that when the limiting rod 7 is raised, lowered or rotated with the pushing component, its ends are always limited and constrained by the limiting seats 8, avoiding lateral displacement or shaking. At the same time, the limiting pieces 9 are fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 7, which can limit the sliding stroke of the limiting rod 7 along its own axis, preventing the limiting rod 7 from slipping out of the limiting seats 8, further improving the reliability of the structural connection. The two work together to ensure the stability and guidance of the limiting rod 7 during the adjustment process, and to prevent the components from disengaging through the limiting function, making the coordinated action of the auxiliary support and the clamping part more precise and safe, and enhancing the structural stability of the entire bracket.
[0025] For further details, please refer to Figure 1-3A connecting piece 13 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the clamp 2. A magnetic block 14 is embedded in one side of the slide 6 corresponding to the connecting piece 13. A magnetic block 2 corresponding to the magnetic block 14 is fixed on the connecting piece 13. Through the setting of magnetic block 14 and magnetic block 2, an adaptive adjustment structure based on magnetic force is formed. When the knob screw 3 drives the clamp 2 to move closer to the PCB board, the fixing piece connecting piece 13 at the bottom of the clamp 2 moves synchronously, so that the magnetic block 2 gradually approaches the magnetic block 14 on the slide 6. Since the two are set with repulsion, the repulsive force gradually increases as the distance decreases, which can push the slide 6 to slide appropriately away from the clamp 2 along the limit rod 7. This sliding will not break away from the support range of the bottom of the PCB board, and can avoid structural interference between the clamp 2 and the slide 6 due to synchronous approach. It can also avoid hard impact on the slide 6 when the clamp 2 clamps, and ensure the coordination of the movement of the support component and the clamping part.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
