Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing machine technology, specifically to a button switch polishing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, metal push-button switches are widely used in various electronic products, mechanical equipment, and household appliances due to their excellent durability and aesthetics. With increasingly fierce market competition, customers have more diverse requirements for the appearance of metal push-button switches, with some specifically requesting CD-patterned surfaces to enhance the product's texture and visual appeal.

[0003] Currently, CD texture production methods are diversified. Among them, the rotary polishing method using sandpaper has a significant cost advantage due to the lack of expensive equipment investment, making it a preferred choice for many manufacturers to reduce production costs and enhance product price competitiveness. However, in actual production, existing technologies generally use manual polishing for CD texture processing. This manual polishing method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, the polishing operation requires considerable physical strength and high levels of experience and skill from the operators, resulting in a narrow range of qualified operators, usually only able to perform this task by experienced male workers. On the other hand, the polishing process generates a large amount of metal dust, which not only seriously endangers the health of the operators but also pollutes the production environment. In addition, manual polishing is inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, and product quality is greatly affected by human factors, making it impossible to guarantee consistency and stability.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems of manual polishing of metal push-button switches in the existing technology, there is an urgent need to design a semi-automatic push-button polishing machine with reasonable structure, simple operation, high efficiency and stability, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, improve the production efficiency and product quality of metal push-button switches, and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.

[0027] The following will combine the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0029] This utility model provides a button switch polishing machine.

[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-2 The button switch polishing machine includes a base plate 1, a rotary drive component 2, a rotary clamping cylinder 3, a clamping fixture, and a transverse movement mechanism 13.

[0031] The rotary drive and the rotary clamp are fixed on the base plate. The rotary drive and the rotary clamp are connected to drive the button switch 20 held on the rotary clamp to rotate.

[0032] The clamping fixture is used to clamp the sponge sand block 4;

[0033] The lateral movement mechanism is connected to the clamping fixture and is used to move the clamping fixture closer to or away from the head of the rotating clamping cylinder.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the button switch polishing machine uses a base plate as its basic support structure. A rotary drive component is connected to a rotary clamping cylinder. Through the power output of the rotary drive component, the rotary clamping cylinder can rotate continuously 360 degrees, achieving omnidirectional rotation of the button switch held in the clamping cylinder head. A clamping fixture is used to fix the sponge abrasive block. A transverse mechanism is connected to the clamping fixture. Through the linear movement of the transverse mechanism, the clamping fixture can be controlled to move closer to or further away from the rotary clamping cylinder head, causing the sponge abrasive block to contact or separate from the button switch, thereby achieving the polishing operation on the button switch surface.

[0035] The polishing process of the push-button switch is broken down into two controllable actions: the rotation of the push-button switch and the lateral movement of the sponge abrasive block. This achieves automated polishing operation, replacing traditional manual polishing, reducing reliance on human experience and physical strength, and expanding the range of operators available. At the same time, automated operation can stably control the polishing force and speed, improving polishing efficiency and product quality consistency, and reducing quality fluctuations caused by manual operation.

[0036] The rotary drive component can be a servo motor.

[0037] Specifically, it also includes a lifting assembly, which is connected to the clamping fixture and is used to drive the clamping fixture to move up and down.

[0038] In this embodiment, a lifting assembly is added and connected to a clamping fixture. The lifting assembly can drive the clamping fixture to move up and down. During polishing, the lifting action of the lifting assembly can adjust the vertical position of the sponge abrasive block to accommodate push-button switches of different sizes and shapes, ensuring precise contact between the sponge abrasive block and the push-button switch surface for effective polishing. The lifting assembly enables the polishing machine to be used with push-button switches of various specifications, greatly improving the equipment's versatility and applicability. Enterprises no longer need to equip themselves with multiple dedicated polishing machines for different push-button switches, reducing equipment procurement and maintenance costs. Simultaneously, precise vertical position adjustment helps improve polishing accuracy and ensures polishing results.

[0039] Specifically, the lifting assembly includes a lifting vertical plate 5 and a lifting cylinder 6 fixed on the lifting vertical plate 5, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 6 is connected to the clamping fixture.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly uses a lifting vertical plate as a support structure, and the lifting cylinder is fixed on the lifting vertical plate. Utilizing the extension and retraction principle of the lifting cylinder, its output end is connected to the clamping fixture. By controlling the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder, the clamping fixture is driven to move up and down. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the sponge sand block, gas is introduced into the lifting cylinder, causing its piston rod to extend or retract, thereby driving the clamping fixture and the sponge sand block to rise or fall.

[0041] Specifically, the clamping fixture includes a fixture base plate 8 connected to the lifting vertical plate via a slide rail slider assembly 7, a clamping block 9 fixed to the fixture base plate 8, and a sealing plate 11 connected to the clamping block via bolts 10. The clamping block is provided with a groove 12 that matches the shape of the sponge sand block, and the sealing plate is connected to the opening of the groove 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, the clamping fixture is connected to the lifting vertical plate via a slide rail slider assembly, enabling the fixture base plate to slide on the lifting vertical plate and facilitating fine-tuning of the clamping fixture's position. A clamping block is fixed to the fixture base plate, and the clamping block has a groove adapted to the shape of the sponge abrasive block for placing the sponge abrasive block. A sealing plate is then connected to the groove opening via bolts to fix the sponge abrasive block in place, ensuring that the sponge abrasive block will not shift or fall off during the polishing process.

[0043] The structural design of this clamping fixture makes the installation and removal of the sponge abrasive blocks more convenient, facilitating timely replacement after wear and reducing equipment downtime. At the same time, the precise groove design and sealing plate fixing method ensure the stability of the sponge abrasive blocks during the polishing process, resulting in uniform polishing force, improved consistency of polishing effect and product quality.

[0044] Specifically, the lifting vertical plate is mounted on the base plate via a slide rail slider assembly, and the output end of the transverse movement mechanism is connected to the lifting vertical plate.

[0045] In this embodiment, the lifting vertical plate is arranged on the bottom plate through a slide rail and slider assembly, enabling the lifting vertical plate to slide on the bottom plate. The output end of the transverse movement mechanism is connected to the lifting vertical plate. When the transverse movement mechanism operates, it drives the lifting vertical plate to slide on the bottom plate, and further drives the clamping tooling and the sponge abrasive block connected to the lifting vertical plate to perform transverse movement.

[0046] Specifically, the transverse movement mechanism is a cylinder, fixed to the bottom of the bottom plate. The bottom of the lifting vertical plate extends with a connecting rod 14. A long groove 15 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the connecting rod passes through the long groove 15 and is connected to the output end of the transverse movement mechanism.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transverse movement mechanism selects a cylinder as the power source and is fixed to the bottom of the bottom plate. The bottom of the lifting vertical plate extends with a connecting rod. A long groove is arranged on the bottom plate, and the connecting rod passes through the long groove and is connected to the output end of the transverse movement mechanism. When the transverse movement cylinder works, its piston rod expands and contracts, and drives the lifting vertical plate to perform transverse movement under the guiding action of the long groove through the connecting rod, thereby realizing the reciprocating transverse movement of the clamping tooling and the sponge abrasive block.

[0048] Specifically, it further includes a dust collector 16. A "U" - shaped dust - proof cover 17 is arranged at the head of the rotary clamping cylinder clamp, and the side of the "U" - shaped dust - proof cover 17 is connected to the dust collector through a dust suction pipe 18.

[0049] In this embodiment, a "U" - shaped dust - proof cover is arranged at the head of the rotary clamping cylinder clamp, partially surrounding the polishing area of the push - button switch, preventing the metal dust generated during the polishing process from splashing everywhere. At the same time, the side of the "U" - shaped dust - proof cover is connected to the dust collector through a dust suction pipe. When the dust collector works, it generates negative pressure, sucking the metal dust in the dust - proof cover into the dust collector through the dust suction pipe, realizing the collection and treatment of the dust generated during the polishing process. It effectively solves the problems that the metal dust in the polishing process pollutes the production environment and harms the health of the operators, improves the working environment, and guarantees the physical health of the operators; at the same time, it reduces the influence of dust on the equipment, reduces the probability of equipment failure caused by dust accumulation, extends the service life of the equipment, and avoids the situation that dust falls on the surface of the push - button switch and affects the polishing quality, which helps to improve the product quality.

[0050] Specifically, a hopper 19 is obliquely fixed on the bottom plate at the bottom of the head of the rotary clamping cylinder clamp.

[0051] In this embodiment, a hopper is obliquely fixed on the bottom plate at the bottom of the head of the rotary clamping cylinder clamp. When the push - button switch completes the polishing operation and is taken off from the head of the clamping cylinder, due to the inclined setting of the hopper, the push - button switch 20 can slide automatically into the hopper along the inclined surface of the hopper by its own gravity for collection.

[0052] Attention all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
