Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch panel processing technology, specifically a fixture for switch panel processing. Background Technology

[0002] Switch panels are panel devices used to install electrical switches, sockets, and other components, and are usually fixed to the surface of walls, furniture, or equipment. Painting is a key process in switch panel production, primarily serving to protect the material (i.e., prevent aging, fading, and scratches on plastic or metal surfaces, extending their lifespan) and to provide a decorative effect, enhancing their aesthetics.

[0003] In small-batch switch panel painting, workers use a simple rotating fixture. This fixture mainly consists of a mounting base on the output end (rotating end) of the control panel, a support rod connected to the mounting base, and multiple sets of spring clips connected to the top of the support rod. Each set of spring clips consists of two clips symmetrically distributed vertically. In use, the top inner edge of the back side of the switch panel (the side not to be painted) is aligned with the upper spring clip. The switch panel is then lowered (during which the spring clip deforms), causing the bottom inner edge of the back side of the switch panel to align with the lower spring clip. The two spring clips then support and fix the switch panel. The output end of the control panel rotates the fixture, allowing the worker to use a spray painting tool to evenly paint multiple switch panels.

[0004] However, switch panels come in various sizes and specifications, and the distance between the upper and lower springs on existing fixtures is not adjustable, nor is the spacing between adjacent sets of springs. Therefore, it is impossible to fix switch panels of different sizes, limiting their usability. Furthermore, when fixing and painting switch panels of different sizes is required, different sizes of fixtures need to be replaced, causing inconvenience to workers. Therefore, we propose a fixture for switch panel processing. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-6A fixture for processing switch panels is shown, comprising a support column 1, a disk 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 1, and multiple convex grooves 3 arranged in a circular array around the center of the upper end of the disk 2. Convex blocks 4 are attached to the inner walls of the multiple convex grooves 3. A linkage mechanism is provided between the multiple convex blocks 4 and the support column 1. A connecting column 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the multiple convex blocks 4 away from the center point of the disk 2. The multiple connecting columns 5 movably penetrate the inner wall of the disk 2. A clamping mechanism is provided at the outer end of the multiple connecting columns 5 located on the disk 2. The clamping mechanism includes a rectangular shell 9, which is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting column 5 located on the disk 2. Rectangular plates 13 are symmetrically attached to the upper and lower outer walls of the rectangular shell 9 away from the connecting column 5. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the two rectangular plates 13 and the rectangular shell 9. A spring piece 14 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the two rectangular plates 13 that are far apart from each other. The two spring pieces 14 are symmetrically arranged.

[0018] The linkage mechanism includes a collar 6, which is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the support column 1 near the upper edge. A fixing mechanism is provided between the collar 6 and the support column 1. Multiple connecting plates 7 are rotatably connected around the center of the upper edge of the outer wall of the collar 6. The ends of the multiple connecting plates 7 away from the collar 6 are rotatably connected to the lower ends of multiple convex blocks 4.

[0019] The fixing mechanism includes a knob screw 8 and multiple screw holes 19. The knob screw 8 is screwed through and tightened in the inner wall of the collar 6. The multiple screw holes 19 are linearly arranged from top to bottom on the outer wall of the support column 1 corresponding to the knob screw 8. The screw hole 19 at the bottom is threadedly engaged with the knob screw 8.

[0020] The adjustment mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 17, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom inner side of the rectangular shell 9. The bidirectional lead screw 17 also moves through the inner wall of the upper end of the rectangular shell 9. A handwheel 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bidirectional lead screw 17. U-shaped plates 18 are symmetrically threaded on the outer wall of the inner side of the bidirectional lead screw 17. Both U-shaped plates 18 are slidably disposed in the inner wall of the rectangular shell 9. The outer ends of the two U-shaped plates 18 are fixedly connected to two rectangular plates 13 respectively.

[0021] The inner wall of the rectangular shell 9 is provided with rectangular grooves 11 at the two U-shaped plates 18 respectively, and the two rectangular grooves 11 are slidably engaged with the two U-shaped plates 18 respectively.

[0022] A rubber sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the rectangular shell 9. The inner wall of the rubber sleeve 12 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the double-acting screw 17. Specifically, relying on the friction between the rubber sleeve 12 and the double-acting screw 17, the double-acting screw 17 can maintain a certain fixed state after the rotation ring ends.

[0023] The bottom end of the support column 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 15, and the upper end of the mounting base 15 is provided with multiple mounting holes 16 arranged in a ring around its center.

[0024] Working Principle: This clamp is mounted on the output end (rotating end) of the operating table via the mounting base 15 and mounting hole 16 (it should be noted that the way this clamp is mounted on the operating table is the same as the way existing clamps are mounted on the operating table). The way this clamp fixes the switch panel is also the same as the way existing clamps fix the switch panel: hold one switch panel so that the top inner side of the back of the switch panel (the side that does not need to be painted) is in contact with a spring 14 located above. Then, move the switch panel down (during this process, the spring 14 will deform), and then let the bottom inner side of the back of the switch panel be in contact with a spring 14 located below. Release the clamp, and the switch panel will be supported and fixed by the force of the two springs 14. Similarly, other switch panels can be fixed sequentially between their respective two springs 14 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown), the output end of the control panel drives the fixture to rotate, and then the operator can use a spray painting tool to evenly spray paint on multiple switch panels (the above is existing technology and will not be described in detail).

[0025] When a larger switch panel needs to be clamped, before installing the larger switch panel into the clamp, first turn the knob screw 8 outward. The knob screw 8 will rotate outward within the inner wall of the collar 6, and it will also rotate outward within the lowest screw hole 19 on the support column 1. Continue until the knob screw 8 is completely removed from the screw hole 19. Then, move the collar 6 upward. The collar 6 will cause the lower ends of the multiple connecting plates 7 to move upward (at this time, the multiple connecting plates 7 will rotate on the collar 6). The multiple connecting plates 7 will cause their respective convex blocks 4 to slide away from the center point of the disk 2 within their corresponding convex grooves 3 on the disk 2 (at this time, the multiple connecting plates 7 will also slide away from the center point of the disk 2 within their respective convex grooves 3). (Rotating on block 4), multiple convex blocks 4 will drive their respective connecting posts 5 to slide away from the center point of the disk 2 in the inner wall of the disk 2. Multiple connecting posts 5 will drive their respective rectangular shells 9 to move away from the center point of the disk 2. The distance between two adjacent rectangular shells 9 can be increased until the distance between two adjacent rectangular shells 9 is sufficient to clamp a switch panel with a larger area. Then, turn the knob screw 8 inward. The knob screw 8 will rotate inward in the inner wall of the collar 6, and the knob screw 8 will also be inserted into and tightened in another screw hole 19 on the support column 1. Then the collar 6 can remain fixed after moving upward, and multiple rectangular shells 9 will also remain fixed after moving.

[0026] Then, rotating one of the handwheels 10 will cause the double-acting screw 17 to rotate inside the rectangular shell 9. The double-acting screw 17 will cause the two U-shaped plates 18 to move away from each other on the outer wall of the double-acting screw 17 (during this process, the two U-shaped plates 18 will also slide away from each other in their respective rectangular slots 11 on the rectangular shell 9). The two U-shaped plates 18 will cause their respective rectangular plates 13 to slide away from each other on the rectangular shell 9. The two rectangular plates 13 will cause their respective spring pieces 14 to move away from each other until the distance between the two spring pieces 14 is sufficient to fix a larger area of ​​the switch panel. Then, the rotation of the handwheel 10 can be stopped. Similarly, the distance between the two spring pieces 14 on the other rectangular shells 9 can be extended by following the same operation. The operation is simple.
