Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a button embossing device. Background Technology

[0002] Button embossing is a process that uses pressure and heat to melt and create patterns on the surface of a pre-formed button, thus meeting specific usage requirements. Generally, button embossing involves a secondary printing process on a pre-formed button that does not yet have a pattern. Therefore, the embossed patterns will vary slightly from mass-produced buttons. To eliminate this issue, a method is needed that can perform mass embossing while ensuring consistent results for each embossing, and is also convenient for production and shipping. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a button embossing device. By setting a placement platform for buttons on a rotating table, the button is embossed by an embossing component at one end, and ejected by an ejector component at the other end and removed by a discharge component, thus achieving rapid batch embossing.

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

[0005] A button embossing device includes a machine base, a rotating table, an embossing component, a discharge component, and an ejection assembly. The rotating table is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the machine base. The rotating table has several circumferentially distributed placement platforms. The embossing component and the discharge component are both located above the machine base and face different placement platforms. Each placement platform has a groove for placing buttons. The embossing component moves toward the groove and makes abutting connection with the button. The clamp at the lower end of the discharge component moves toward the groove and clamps the button. The bottom of the groove has a through ejection hole. The ejection assembly is located inside the machine base. The output end of the ejection assembly passes through the machine base and extends into the ejection hole, making abutting connection with the button.

[0006] The ejection assembly includes a cylinder and a mounting base. The cylinder is connected to the machine tool through the mounting base, and the ejector rod on the output end of the cylinder extends into the ejection hole. A buffer part is provided at the lower opening of the ejection hole, and the buffer part is connected to the upper end of the ejector rod in an abutment-like manner.

[0007] In this button embossing equipment, the embossing parts and the output parts on the machine face the placement platforms on the rotating table. The placement platforms consist of at least three sets: one set for workers or robotic arms to feed the parts, one set located at the bottom of the embossing parts, and one set located at the bottom of the output parts. As the rotating table rotates, the positions of the placement platforms can be continuously changed, allowing for continuous reciprocating production. However, when the rotating table is manually rotated to ensure the parts are in the correct positions, errors caused by positional shifts can easily occur, leading to misalignment of the embossed patterns and an increased defect rate. Furthermore, positional shifts can make it difficult for the output parts to grip the buttons for output, affecting production efficiency. Since the positions of the embossing parts and the output parts on the machine are relatively fixed at the beginning of assembly, and the placement platforms distributed in a circle on the rotating table are also relatively fixed at the beginning of assembly, the positional shift of the placement platforms is due to the difficulty in aligning the placement platforms on the rotating table with the embossing parts and the output parts.

[0008] Therefore, an ejector assembly was added. The ejector assembly is located below the ejector piece. After embossing is completed, the placement table is rotated above the ejector assembly, and the cylinder is activated to push the ejector rod into the ejector hole. The ejector rod is kept moving upward until it abuts against the bottom of the button. On the one hand, the button can be lifted up to make it easier for the clamp to pick up. On the other hand, the rotation table can be aligned by the cooperation of the ejector rod and the ejector hole, so that the bottom of the embossed piece is aligned with the placement table, thus avoiding uneven embossing caused by the position of the placement table being offset.

[0009] Since the ejector rod enters the ejector hole from bottom to top, if the diameter of the ejector hole is much larger than the diameter of the ejector rod, although the ejection effect can be achieved without much alignment, the tube alignment will be poor due to the large difference in diameter. If the diameter of the ejector hole is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the ejector rod, although the tube alignment effect after ejection is good, the difficulty of alignment during ejection is very large. If the ejection is not accurate, it will affect the production efficiency. Therefore, a buffer part is set at the lower opening of the ejector hole. The buffer part has a chamfered structure. Therefore, even if the ejector rod cannot be aligned with the ejector hole during the upward ejection process, the ejector hole can be gradually aligned during the upward ejection process when the ejector rod is pushed into the buffer part, which facilitates the insertion of the ejector rod, achieves tube alignment, and minimizes the offset to the greatest extent.

[0010] Furthermore, the machine tool is equipped with a motor, the output end of which passes through the machine tool and is connected to the center of the rotary table.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting an ejector assembly under the placement platform below the discharge part on the rotating table, the ejector rod is inserted into the ejector hole during the upward process, thereby realizing the alignment of the placement platform. The position of the embossing part and the discharge part with the placement platform at the same time avoids uneven embossing caused by the positional deviation of the placement platform. The setting of the buffer part allows the ejector hole to be gradually aligned during the upward process when the ejector rod is pushed into the buffer part, thereby facilitating the insertion of the ejector rod and achieving tube alignment while minimizing deviation.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. 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.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a button embossing device includes a machine base 1, a rotating table 2, an embossing component 3, a discharge component 4, and an ejector assembly 5. The rotating table 2 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the machine base 1. The rotating table 2 is provided with several circumferentially distributed placement platforms 21. The embossing component 3 and the discharge component 4 are both located above the machine base 1 and face different placement platforms 21. The placement platform 21 is provided with a groove 22 for placing buttons. The embossing component 3 moves toward the groove 22 and makes abutting connection with the button. The clamp 41 at the lower end of the discharge component 4 moves toward the groove 22 and clamps the button. The bottom of the groove 22 is provided with an ejector hole 23 that extends vertically. The ejector assembly 5 is located inside the machine base 1. The output end of the ejector assembly 5 passes through the machine base 1 and extends into the ejector hole 23 and makes abutting connection with the button.

[0023] The ejection assembly 5 includes a cylinder 51 and a mounting base 52. The cylinder 51 is connected to the machine base 1 through the mounting base 52. The ejector rod 53 on the output end of the cylinder 51 extends into the ejection hole 23. A buffer part 24 is provided at the lower opening of the ejection hole 23. The buffer part 24 is in contact with the upper end of the ejector rod 53.

[0024] Furthermore, the machine base 1 is equipped with a motor 11, the output end of which passes through the machine base 1 and is connected to the center of the rotary table 2.

[0025] Description of the working principle of this utility model:

[0026] In this button embossing equipment, the embossing part 3 and the ejector part 4 on the machine base 1 face the placement table 21 on the rotary table 2. The placement table 21 includes at least three sets: one set for workers or robotic arms to feed the button, one set located at the lower end of the embossing part 3, and one set located at the lower end of the ejector part 4. During the rotation of the rotary table 2, the position of the placement table 21 can be continuously changed, allowing for continuous reciprocating production. Since the embossing part 3 achieves pattern pressing by pressing down the pressure head, and the ejector part 4 uses the horizontally moving clamp 41 to grip the button and eject it, these are all existing technologies, so how they are implemented will not be discussed further here. To avoid going into too much detail, when the rotary table 2 is manually rotated to ensure its position is in the correct place during production, errors caused by positional deviations can easily occur, leading to misalignment of the embossed pattern and an increase in the defect rate. Moreover, positional deviations can also make it difficult for the ejector part 4 to grip the button for ejection, affecting production efficiency. Since the positions of the embossed part 3 and the ejector part 4 on the machine 1 are relatively fixed at the beginning of assembly, and the placement platform 21, which is distributed in a circle on the rotary table 2, is also relatively fixed at the beginning of assembly, the positional deviation of the placement platform 21 is due to the difficulty in aligning the placement platform 21 on the rotary table 2 with the embossed part 3 and the ejector part 4.

[0027] Therefore, an ejector assembly 5 is added. The ejector assembly 5 is located below the ejector part 4. After the embossing is completed, the placement table 21 is rotated to the top of the ejector assembly 5, and the cylinder 51 is activated to push the ejector rod 53 into the ejector hole 23. The ejector rod 53 is kept moving upward until it abuts against the bottom of the button. On the one hand, the button can be lifted up to make it easier for the clamp 41 to pick it up. On the other hand, the rotation table 2 can be aligned by the cooperation of the ejector rod 53 and the ejector hole 23, so that the bottom of the embossed part 3 is aligned with the placement table 21, thereby avoiding uneven embossing caused by the position of the placement table 21 being offset.

[0028] Since the push rod 53 enters the ejector hole 23 from bottom to top, if the diameter of the ejector hole 23 is much larger than the diameter of the push rod 53, although the insertion can be achieved without much alignment, the tube alignment effect will be poor due to the large difference. If the diameter of the ejector hole 23 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the push rod 53, although the tube alignment effect after insertion is good, the difficulty of alignment during insertion is very high. If the insertion is inaccurate, it will affect production efficiency. Therefore, a buffer part 24 is set at the lower opening of the ejector hole 23. The buffer part 24 has a chamfered structure. Therefore, even if the push rod 53 cannot be aligned with the ejector hole 23 during the upward process, the ejector hole 23 can be gradually aligned during the upward process when the push rod 53 is inserted into the buffer part 24, which facilitates the insertion of the push rod 53, achieves tube alignment, and minimizes the offset.

[0029] To improve production efficiency, a motor 11 is installed in the machine tool 1 to drive the rotary table 2 to rotate. The motor 11 can drive the rotary table 2 to avoid manual rotation, saving manpower. However, the motor 11 still cannot prevent the ejector rod 53 and ejector hole 23 from being misaligned. Therefore, the buffer part 24 is still needed to align the rotary table 2 to reduce the defects caused by the offset.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting an ejector component 5 under the placement platform 21 below the discharge part 4 on the rotary table 2, the ejector rod 53 is inserted into the ejector hole 23 during the upward ejection process, thereby achieving the alignment of the placement platform 21. The position of the synchronous embossing part 3 and the discharge part 4 with the placement platform 21 avoids uneven embossing caused by the positional deviation of the placement platform 21. The setting of the buffer part 24 allows the ejector hole 23 to be gradually aligned during the upward ejection process when the ejector rod 53 is pushed into the buffer part 24, thereby facilitating the insertion of the ejector rod 53 and achieving tube alignment while minimizing deviation.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
