Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing technology, and in particular to an assembly mechanism and assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly process of electronic devices, components (such as screws) need to be attached to their corresponding washers and pressurized to ensure a stable connection between the components and the washers. In existing electronic device assembly processes, the attachment and pressurization of components are usually completed at two workstations, resulting in high labor costs and low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation, this application provides an assembly mechanism and assembly device to solve the above problems.

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide an assembly mechanism for assembling components. The assembly mechanism includes a housing, a positioning member, a fixing member, a first elastic member, a buffer member, and a second elastic member. The housing has a receiving cavity and a first opening and a second opening disposed opposite each other along a first direction. The positioning member is movably connected to the housing along the first direction, one end of the positioning member is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the other end of the positioning member extends out from the first opening and is configured to position the component. The fixing member is fixed to the housing and blocks the second opening. The first elastic member, the buffer member, and the second elastic member are arranged sequentially between the positioning member and the fixing member along the first direction. The first elastic member elastically abuts the buffer member toward the fixing member, and the second elastic member elastically abuts the buffer member toward the positioning member. The housing has an observation hole communicating with the receiving cavity, through which at least a portion of the buffer member is exposed.

[0005] In the aforementioned assembly device, pressing the housing allows the workpiece to be attached to its corresponding gasket. Maintaining pressure between the workpiece and the gasket by compressing the first and second elastic elements of the pressing housing provides stable and continuous pressure. Observing the distance the buffer moves relative to the observation hole provides a stable and continuous pressure for maintaining pressure between the workpiece and the gasket. Compared to existing methods that complete attachment and pressure maintenance through two stations, this method improves assembly efficiency and yield.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the buffer includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction between a first elastic element and a second elastic element. The like magnetic poles of the first and second magnetic elements are positioned opposite each other and repel each other, with a gap between them. The first and second magnetic elements can reduce the risk of aging or fatigue in the buffer, thereby improving the stability of the buffer.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the observation hole is configured to observe the gap between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element. The position of the gap between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element remains stable. The gap serves as a stable marker for easy observation by the user.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the assembly mechanism includes a third magnetic element disposed between the positioning element and the first elastic element. The third magnetic element is configured to magnetically attract the material to the positioning element to improve the stability of the positioning element in positioning the material.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the positioning member includes an extension and a limiting portion connected along a first direction. When viewed along the first direction, the size of the extension is smaller than the size of the limiting portion. The limiting portion is limited and connected in the receiving cavity, and the extension extends out from the first opening.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the end face of the extension away from the limiting portion is provided with a contour groove, which is configured to fit the head of the material to facilitate positioning of the material.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the fastener and the housing are connected by threads to facilitate adjustment of the length of the fastener extending into the receiving cavity, thereby facilitating adjustment of the pre-compression force of the first elastic element and the second elastic element.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with hooks, which are spaced apart from the observation holes, so that the user can hang the assembly mechanism by the hooks, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by the assembly mechanism colliding with the external structure.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the part of the fastener located outside the housing has a protrusion. When viewed along the first direction, the periphery of the protrusion has alternating concave and convex surfaces to facilitate the user to rotate the fastener through the protrusion.

[0014] Embodiments of this application also provide an assembly device for assembling components and corresponding washers. The assembly device includes any of the assembly mechanisms described in the above embodiments. The assembly device further includes a base, which includes a support member and a retaining member. The support member is configured to hold the washer and has a clearance hole configured to be located below the through hole of the washer. The retaining member is located on one side of the support member and is configured to retain the assembly mechanism to facilitate the user's removal and placement of the assembly mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be components positioned in between. When a component is considered to be "set" on another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be components positioned in between. It should be understood that, considering the factors of actual machining tolerances, in the technical solution of this application, when two components are set parallel / perpendicularly, they are set in the same direction, and there may be a certain angle between the two components. The angle between the two components is allowed to have a tolerance of 0-±10%. When a value is considered to be "equal" to another value, it means that the two are equal within a set deviation range, which is within 10%. That is to say, when at least one of the two values ​​fluctuates within the set deviation range, even if their values ​​are not equal, they are still judged to be approximately equal.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0024] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of this application provides an assembly device 100 for assembling a component 91 and a corresponding washer 92. The component 91 may be, but is not limited to, a screw. The assembly device 100 includes a base 10 and an assembly mechanism 20. The base 10 is used to position the washer 92, and the assembly mechanism 20 is used to position the component 91 and move the component 91 to the washer 92, so that the washer 92 is attached to the component 91 and pressure is maintained.

[0026] The base 10 includes a support member 11, which is configured to hold a washer 92. The support member 11 has a clearance hole 111, which is configured to be located below the through hole 921 of the washer 92, so that the rod of the material 91 can pass through the through hole 921 of the washer 92.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5The assembly mechanism 20 includes a housing 21, a positioning member 22, a fixing member 23, a first elastic member 24, a buffer member 25, and a second elastic member 26. The housing 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 211 and a first opening 212 and a second opening 213 that are arranged opposite each other along the first direction Z.

[0028] The positioning member 22 is movably connected to the housing 21 along the first direction Z. One end of the positioning member 22 is disposed in the receiving cavity 211, and the other end of the positioning member 22 extends out from the first opening 212 and is configured to position the material member 91. By moving the housing 21, the rod of the material member 91 can pass through the through hole 921 of the washer 92.

[0029] Optionally, the end of the positioning member 22 extending out of the first opening 212 is positioned by a positioning member 91 through one of the following methods: magnetic attraction, adhesive, clamping, or holding.

[0030] The fixing member 23 is fixed to the housing 21 and blocks the second opening 213. The first elastic member 24, the buffer member 25, and the second elastic member 26 are arranged sequentially between the positioning member 22 and the fixing member 23 along the first direction Z. The first elastic member 24 elastically supports the buffer member 25 towards the fixing member 23, and the second elastic member 26 elastically supports the buffer member 25 towards the positioning member 22. By pressing the housing 21, the positioning member 22 can make the head of the material 91 attach to the washer 92. Pressing the housing 21 can also compress the first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26. The rebound force generated by the compressed first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26 is transmitted to the material 91 and the washer 92 through the positioning member 22, thereby providing pressure holding pressure for the material 91 and the washer 92. Compared with the single spring structure, the first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26 can improve reliability and redundancy, thereby improving the stability of pressure holding.

[0031] Optionally, the first elastic element 24 is a spring.

[0032] Optionally, the second elastic element 26 is a spring.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The housing 21 is provided with an observation hole 214 communicating with the receiving cavity 211, through which at least part of the buffer member 25 is exposed. The compressed first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26 also drive the buffer member 25 to move. By observing the distance the buffer member 25 moves relative to the observation hole 214, a stable and continuous holding pressure is maintained, thereby reducing the risk of excessive holding pressure causing deformation and glue overflow of the gasket 92, and reducing the risk of insufficient holding pressure causing unstable adhesion of the gasket 92, thus improving the stability of the holding pressure.

[0034] During the use of the above-mentioned assembly device 100, the washer 92 is first placed on the support member 11 and the through hole 921 of the washer 92 is aligned with the clearance hole 111. Then, the positioning member 22 is positioned by one end extending from the first opening 212. Then, the housing 21 is moved so that the rod of the material 91 passes through the through hole 921 of the washer 92. Then, the housing 21 is pressed so that the positioning member 22 makes the head of the material 91 adhere to the washer 92. Then, the housing 21 is pressed and the distance of the buffer member 25 relative to the observation hole 214 is observed. After the preset time is reached, the housing 21 is moved so that the material 91 is detached from the positioning member 22.

[0035] In the assembly device 100 described above, the support member 11 holds the washer 92, and the positioning member 22 positions the workpiece 91. The workpiece 91 and the washer 92 can be attached by pressing the housing 21. Pressure is maintained between the workpiece 91 and the washer 92 by compressing the first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26 through the pressing housing 21. A stable and continuous pressure is provided to the workpiece 91 and the washer 92 by observing the distance the buffer member 25 moves relative to the observation hole 214. Compared to the existing method of completing attachment and pressure maintenance through two stations, this method improves assembly efficiency and increases assembly yield.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the carrier 11 is provided with a positioning groove 112, which is configured to conform to the shape of the washer 92, and an avoidance hole 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 112. The positioning groove 112 can improve the stability of the washer 92 during the assembly process.

[0037] In some embodiments, the washer 92 is further provided with a positioning hole 922 spaced apart from the through hole 921, and the carrier 11 is provided with a positioning post 113, which is configured to pass through the positioning hole 922 to improve the stability of the washer 92 during assembly.

[0038] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a base plate 12 and a plurality of legs 13. The support member 11 and the plurality of legs 13 are respectively fixed to two opposite surfaces of the base plate 12. The base plate 12 supports the support member 11, and the legs 13 support the base plate 12 and are used to adjust the base plate 12 to a horizontal position.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support leg 13 includes a bolt and a rubber pad. The rubber pad is fitted onto the bolt, and the bolt fixes the rubber pad to the base plate 12. The rubber pad is used to absorb the impact on the load-bearing member 11 and the base plate 12, which helps to improve the stability of pressure holding.

[0040] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a retaining member 14, which is fixed to the base plate 12 and located on one side of the support member 11. The retaining member 14 is configured to retain the assembly mechanism 20 so that the user can pick up and put down the assembly mechanism 20.

[0041] Optionally, the retainer 14 is a flexible snap-fit.

[0042] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a grounding wire 15 connected to the base plate 12 to improve the safety of the assembly device 100.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing 21 is provided with hooks 215, which are spaced apart from the observation hole 214, so that the user can hang the assembly mechanism 20 by the hooks 215, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by the assembly mechanism 20 colliding with the external structure.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the positioning member 22 includes an extension 221 and a limiting portion 222 connected along a first direction Z. When viewed along the first direction Z, the size of the extension 221 is smaller than the size of the limiting portion 222. The limiting portion 222 is limitedly connected in the receiving cavity 211, and the extension 221 extends out from the first opening 212.

[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is cylindrical and has a first opening 212 forming an inner step. The inner step stops and limits the limiting portion 222 in the first direction Z so that the limiting portion 222 is limited and connected in the receiving cavity 211.

[0046] In some embodiments, the end face of the extension 221 away from the limiting portion 222 is provided with a contour groove 223, which is configured to fit the head of the material 91 to facilitate positioning of the material 91.

[0047] In some embodiments, the fastener 23 is threadedly connected to the housing 21 to adjust the length of the fastener 23 extending into the receiving cavity 211, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the pre-compression force of the first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26.

[0048] In some embodiments, the fastener 23 is provided with external threads, and the housing 21 is provided with internal threads.

[0049] In some embodiments, the portion of the fixing member 23 located outside the housing 21 has a protrusion 231. When viewed along the first direction Z, the periphery of the protrusion 231 has alternating concave surfaces 231A and convex surfaces 231B, so that the user can rotate the fixing member 23 through the protrusion 231.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the buffer 25 includes a first magnetic element 251 and a second magnetic element 252, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction Z between a first elastic element 24 and a second elastic element 26. The like magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 251 and the second magnetic element 252 are positioned opposite each other and repel each other. A gap 253 exists between the first magnetic element 251 and the second magnetic element 252. The first magnetic element 251 and the second magnetic element 252 can reduce the risk of aging or fatigue of the buffer, thereby improving the stability of the buffer.

[0051] In some embodiments, the observation hole 214 is configured to observe the gap 253 between the first magnetic element 251 and the second magnetic element 252. Under the repulsive force of the first magnetic element 251 and the second magnetic element 252, the position of the gap 253 between them remains stable. The gap 253 serves as a stable marker for easy observation by the user.

[0052] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is pressed and the gap 253 is kept within the observation hole 214 to maintain a stable and continuous holding pressure.

[0053] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the assembly mechanism 20 includes a third magnetic element 27 disposed between the positioning element 22 and the first elastic element 24. The third magnetic element 27 is configured to magnetically attract the material 91 to the positioning element 22 to improve the stability of the positioning element 22 in positioning the material 91.

[0054] In the assembly device 100 described above, the support member 11 holds the washer 92, and the positioning member 22 positions the workpiece 91. The workpiece 91 and the washer 92 can be attached by pressing the housing 21. Pressure is maintained between the workpiece 91 and the washer 92 by compressing the first elastic member 24 and the second elastic member 26 through the pressing housing 21. A stable and continuous pressure is provided to the workpiece 91 and the washer 92 by observing the distance the buffer member 25 moves relative to the observation hole 214. Compared to the existing method of completing attachment and pressure maintenance through two stations, this method improves assembly efficiency and increases assembly yield.
