Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC cable processing technology, specifically to an L-shaped FPC cable bending device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic products come in various shapes and sizes, necessitating secondary processing of internal component wiring harnesses to ensure a proper fit. Flexible printed circuit (FPC) cables, commonly used in mobile phones, computers, printers, and other electronic devices, utilize flexible insulating materials as their base material, exhibiting excellent bendability and allowing for multiple bends without damaging the circuitry. This characteristic enables flexible shape design tailored to specific product requirements. The shapes of FPC cables vary, and the areas requiring bending also differ. For L-shaped FPC cables, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the whole is sheet-like, including bending section 01, connecting section 02 and main body section 03. The ends 04 of the two connecting sections 02 and the end of the main body section 03 are provided with connecting terminals. In specific applications, the ends 04 of the two connecting sections 02 need to be bent into a U-shaped structure to meet product requirements. There is no bending device for this L-shaped FPC cable in the existing technology, and it is impossible to ensure the shape and size accuracy of the bend. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an L-shaped FPC cable bending device, addressing the problem that existing technologies lack bending devices for bending the ends of the two connecting sections of an L-shaped FPC cable, which makes it impossible to ensure the accuracy of the bending shape and dimensions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An L-shaped FPC cable bending device includes a base with a positioning groove on the top for positioning an L-shaped FPC cable laid flat on the top of the base. A flip cover is hinged to the top of the base, and a pressure strip is provided on the flip cover. A magnetic attraction structure is provided between the flip cover and the base. When the flip cover is flipped to be magnetically fixed to the base, the flip cover presses the bent section of the L-shaped FPC cable onto the base, while the pressure strip presses the two connecting sections of the L-shaped FPC cable onto the base. The pressure strip is perpendicular to any connecting section and presses against the end of any connecting section. The end can be bent upwards and pressed against the outer contour surface of the pressure strip to form a U-shaped structure.

[0006] In this utility model employing the aforementioned technical solution, when bending an L-shaped FPC cable is required, the L-shaped FPC cable is first positioned in the positioning groove, then the flip cover is flipped until it is magnetically fixed to the base. At this time, the flip cover presses the bent section of the L-shaped FPC cable onto the base, ensuring the flatness of the area near the connecting section on the FPC cable. Simultaneously, the pressure strip presses the two connecting sections of the L-shaped FPC cable together. Finally, the ends of the connecting sections are manually bent upwards and pressed tightly against the outer contour surface of the pressure strip. The pressure strip shapes the ends to form a U-shaped structure. Compared to existing technologies, this method does not yet have... This invention addresses the issue that bending devices used for bending the ends of two connecting sections of L-shaped FPC cables cannot guarantee the accuracy of the bent shape and dimensions. It provides a bending device that can be used for bending the ends of connecting sections of L-shaped FPC cables. The FPC cable is embedded in a positioning groove and pressed firmly by a flip cover and pressure strip, accurately positioning the cable. The pressure strip's pressing position on the connecting section is preset to ensure the bending dimensional accuracy of the connecting section ends. The outer contour of the pressure strip shapes the connecting section ends, ensuring the accuracy of the bent shape. Furthermore, the bending operation is simple and has high production efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, before bending the ends, the end of any connecting segment extends beyond the edge of the base; this arrangement facilitates the operator to bend the end of the connecting segment upwards by hand.

[0008] Furthermore, a cantilevered support plate is formed on one side of the top of the base, the support plate is located between the two ends, and the flip cover is hinged to the far end of the support plate; the pressure strip is parallel to the hinge axis of the flip cover, and the two ends of the pressure strip extend out of the flip cover to both sides, and the two ends of the pressure strip are respectively pressed onto the two connecting sections; the reasonable arrangement of the relative positions of the connecting section ends, the flip cover and the pressure strip makes the overall structure of the bending device compact.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure strip is fixedly installed on the flip cover, and the installation position of the pressure strip on the flip cover can be adjusted; by adjusting the installation position of the pressure strip on the flip cover, the pressing position of the pressure strip on the two connecting sections can be changed; thus, by changing the pressing position of the pressure strip on the two connecting sections, the bending length of the end of the connecting section can be changed to adapt to different technical requirements.

[0010] Furthermore, the flip cover is provided with a strip-shaped hole, and the pressure strip can be fixed to different positions of the strip-shaped hole by bolts to realize the position adjustment of the pressure strip on the flip cover; the position adjustment is achieved by setting the strip-shaped hole, which is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0011] Furthermore, the magnetic structure includes a first magnet located on the flip cover and a second magnet located on the base, the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other to achieve magnetic fixation of the flip cover and the base.

[0012] Further, a pin hole positioning structure is provided between the base and the flip cover; when the flip cover is flipped to be magnetically fixed to the base, the flip cover and the base are positioned through the pin hole positioning structure; with such a setting, the relative position of the flip cover and the base is ensured to be precise, thereby ensuring the precise crimping position of the pressing strip on the connecting section and guaranteeing the bending precision.

[0013] Further, the base is a "mouth" - shaped frame structure; with such a setting, it is beneficial for weight reduction and convenient for manual handling of this bending device.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: a bending device is provided, which can be used for bending the end of the connecting section of an L - shaped FPC flexible cable. The FPC flexible cable is installed by being embedded in the positioning groove and clamped tightly by the flip cover and the pressing strip, accurately positioning the FPC flexible cable, presetting the crimping position of the pressing strip on the connecting section, ensuring the bending dimension precision of the end of the connecting section, and shaping the end of the connecting section through the outer contour of the pressing strip to ensure its bending shape precision; meanwhile, the bending operation is simple and the production efficiency is high.

A flip cover 2 is hinged to the top of the base, and a pressure strip 3 is provided on the flip cover 2. A magnetic attraction structure is provided between the flip cover 2 and the base. When the flip cover 2 is flipped to be magnetically fixed to the base, the flip cover 2 presses the bent section 01 of the L-shaped FPC cable onto the base, while the pressure strip 3 presses the two connecting sections 02 of the L-shaped FPC cable onto the base. The pressure strip 3 is perpendicular to any connecting section 02 and presses against any connecting section 02 near the end 04. The end 04 can be bent upward and pressed against the outer contour surface of the pressure strip 3 to form a U-shaped structure.

[0025] Before the bent end 04, the end 04 of any connecting segment 02 extends beyond the edge of the base;

[0026] A cantilevered support plate 4 is formed on one side of the top of the base. The support plate 4 is located between two ends 04. The flip cover 2 is hinged to the far end of the support plate 4. The hinge axis of the flip cover 2 is parallel to the bending section 01. The pressure strip 3 is parallel to the hinge axis of the flip cover 2. Both ends of the pressure strip 3 extend out of the flip cover 2 to both sides, and both ends of the pressure strip 3 are pressed onto the two connecting sections 02 respectively.

[0027] The pressure strip 3 is fixedly installed on the flip cover 2, and the installation position of the pressure strip 3 on the flip cover 2 can be adjusted. The pressing position of the pressure strip 3 on the two connecting sections 02 can be changed by adjusting the installation position of the pressure strip 3 on the flip cover 2. The flip cover 2 is provided with a strip hole 5, and the pressure strip 3 can be fixed to different positions of the strip hole 5 by bolts to realize the position adjustment of the pressure strip 3 on the flip cover 2.

[0030] The base is a "mouth"-shaped frame structure; the base includes a top plate 11 and a U-shaped base 12 fixed to the bottom of the top plate.

[0031] For the utility model adopting the foregoing technical solution, when bending the L-shaped FPC cable, first place the L-shaped FPC cable in the positioning groove 1 for positioning, then flip the flip cover 2 to be magnetically fixed to the base. At this time, the flip cover 2 presses the bent section 01 of the L-shaped FPC cable against the base, ensuring the flatness of the area near the connection section 02 on the FPC cable. At the same time, the pressing strip 3 presses the two connection sections 02 of the L-shaped FPC cable.
