Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly and testing equipment technology, and in particular to a tooling and production line for product pressing and elasticity testing. Background Technology

[0002] An existing power strip structure includes a housing, a pressure cap pressed onto one end of the housing, and an elastic structure connected to the other end of the housing. The manufacturing process involves pressing onto the pressure cap and conducting an elasticity test on the elastic structure.

[0003] The current production method mainly relies on manual pressing of caps with simple fixing fixtures. During the cap pressing process, the operator's experience is used to test whether the elasticity of the elastic structure meets the requirements. However, when manually pressing caps, it is impossible to accurately control the pressing force and speed. This not only fails to ensure the uniformity of the cap pressing degree, but also causes large fluctuations in the rebound force of the elastic structure due to uneven pressure on the product. This can easily affect the operator's judgment of the elasticity and also poses a risk of damage to the elastic structure due to overpressure, thus affecting the product yield. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a tooling for product pressing and elasticity testing, comprising:

[0028] Workbench 1;

[0029] The carrier 2 includes a first bracket 21, a support base 22 and a first telescopic drive source 23. The first bracket 21 is disposed on the worktable 1, the support base 22 is slidably connected to the first bracket 21 along the X-axis direction, and the first telescopic drive source 23 is mounted on the first bracket 21 to drive the support base 22 to slide.

[0030] The press-fitting test mechanism 3 includes a second bracket 31, a slide table 32, a linear module 33, a second telescopic drive source 34, and a pressure sensor 35. The second bracket 31 is mounted on the worktable 1. The slide table 32 is slidably mounted on the second bracket 31 along the Y-axis. The linear module 33 is connected to the second bracket 31 to drive the slide table 32 to slide. The second telescopic drive source 34 is mounted on the slide table 32 along the Z-axis and is located above the support base 22. The output shaft of the second telescopic drive source 34 faces the worktable 1 and is connected to the pressure sensor 35.

[0031] Specifically, the product under test includes a product rack with multiple bearing positions spaced apart along its length. Each bearing position supports a housing, with a pressure cap installed at one end and an elastic structure connected to the other end. The first support 21 and the second support 31 of the tooling are spaced apart along the X-axis on the workbench 1, with the height of the second support 31 being higher than that of the first support 21. A support base 22 is slidably connected to the first support 21 to fix the product under test. The support base 22 can move along the X-axis under the drive of the first telescopic drive source 23. A slide table 32 is slidably connected to the second support 31, with one end of the slide table 32 near the first support 21 suspended above the first support 21 and connected to the second telescopic drive source 34. The slide table 32, driven by the linear module 33, can drive the second telescopic drive source 34 mounted on it to slide along the Y-axis.

[0032] In the initial state, the support base 22 is located on the side away from the second support frame, making it convenient for the operator to place the product to be tested on the support base 22. After the product is fixed, the first telescopic drive source 23 drives the support base 22 to move the product to directly below the second telescopic drive source 34 (i.e., the working position). Then, the linear module 33 drives the slide 32 to move the second telescopic drive source 34 sequentially to directly above each housing according to a preset path. The output shaft of the second telescopic drive source 34 extends a predetermined length at a predetermined speed to press the cover. During the pressing process, the elastic structure on the other side of the housing is compressed. The pressure sensor 35 installed on the output shaft of the second telescopic drive source 34 detects the elastic force of the compressed elastic structure. After the pressing and testing are completed, each drive source and the linear module 33 are reset.

[0033] This utility model discloses a tooling for product pressing and elasticity testing, which can realize the automatic capping operation of the product to be tested, and simultaneously perform elasticity testing of the product during the capping process. It has a high degree of automation, effectively improves the efficiency of pressing and testing, and requires less manual intervention. It can ensure the accuracy and consistency of pressing force and pressing speed, thereby improving product yield and reducing production costs.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, further, it includes control buttons 4, with two buttons 4 installed on the workbench 1. Specifically, two control buttons 4 are provided and configured so that the equipment can only perform relevant actions when both control buttons 4 are pressed by the operator's two hands, in order to avoid safety accidents caused by improper operation.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 As shown, further, a marking device 5 is included, which is installed on one side of the second bracket 31, with its output end facing the worktable 1. Specifically, when the elasticity of the product's elastic structure is detected to be unsatisfactory, the marking device 5 marks the product on the product rack to facilitate subsequent differentiation and processing.

[0036] Furthermore, a displacement sensor 6 is included, which is mounted parallel to the housing of the second telescopic drive source 34. The detection end of the displacement sensor 6 is connected to the output shaft of the second telescopic drive source 34 via a connecting plate. Specifically, the displacement sensor 6 can detect the compression depth. The data from the pressure sensor 35 and the displacement sensor 6 are synchronized, allowing the establishment of an elastic force-displacement curve and real-time monitoring of changes in the rebound force. Furthermore, it can automatically shut down for protection when overpressure is detected, preventing product damage.

[0037] Furthermore, it includes a controller, which is connected to the first telescopic drive source 23, the second telescopic drive source 34, the linear module 33, the control button 4, the marking device 5, and the displacement sensor 6, respectively, and realizes automatic control of each component through the controller.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the support base 22 further includes a base plate 221, limiting blocks 222, and bases 223. The base plate 221 is slidably connected to the first bracket 21. Two limiting blocks 222 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the base plate 221 along the Y-axis direction, and each limiting block 222 has a limiting groove. Multiple bases 223 are provided and spaced apart on the base plate 221 along the Y-axis direction and located between the two limiting blocks 222. Specifically, the two ends of the product frame of the product to be tested are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves of the two limiting blocks 222. Each base 223 corresponds to a bearing position of the product frame and plays a supporting role during the pressing and capping process.

[0039] Furthermore, the first support 21 is provided with at least one first slide rail 24 extending along the X-axis direction, and the base plate 221 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 24 by the first slider.

[0040] Furthermore, the second bracket 31 is provided with at least one second slide rail 36 extending along the Y-axis direction, and the slide table 32 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 36 via the second slider.

[0041] Furthermore, the first telescopic drive source 23 and the second telescopic drive source 34 are either pneumatic cylinders or electric cylinders.

[0042] Example 2: This utility model also discloses a production line, including the tooling for product pressing and elasticity testing as in Example 1.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
