Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a folding keyboard hinge pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Tablets are typically operated via touch, but when large amounts of text need to be entered, keyboard input is more convenient and faster. Furthermore, when not in use, tablets require protective cases to prevent damage. Therefore, foldable keyboards exist, which use magnetic attraction to attach the tablet to one side of the keyboard. The other side contains the keycaps for input. The two sides of the protective case are connected by a hinge, allowing the keyboard to be closed by rotating the hinge, protecting the tablet. Alternatively, the keyboard can be opened by rotating the hinge, supporting the tablet while allowing text to be entered using the keyboard's keycaps.

[0003] However, in order to install the hinge on the folding keyboard, it is usually done manually by pressing the hinge onto the keyboard so that the two sides of the keyboard can rotate. However, this method is inefficient and can easily cause injury to the operator, leading to safety accidents.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0022] This embodiment provides a folding keyboard hinge pressing device, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, this invention addresses the problem of low efficiency in manually pressing the hinge of the folding keyboard 10 in existing solutions, avoids operator injury, and improves production efficiency. Specifically, the folding keyboard hinge pressing device includes a base 100, a support frame 200, a mounting frame 300, a fixing component 500, and a pressing component 400. The base 100 is square and provides support for other structures in the device. The support frame 200 is mounted on the base 100 and is used to place the folding keyboard 10. Meanwhile, the support frame 200 has a triangular cross-section, and its width gradually increases from top to bottom. This creates an angle between adjacent outer surfaces of the support frame 200, allowing the folding keyboard 10 to remain open when placed on the support frame 200, facilitating the pressing of the hinge on the folding keyboard 10. Additionally, the left and right ends of the support frame 200 are higher than the middle part, forming grooves on its outer surface. When the folding keyboard 10 is placed on the support frame 200, this restricts its movement and prevents the hinge from being pressed due to wobbling. The mounting bracket 300 is positioned above the support frame 200 and is door-frame shaped. Specifically, the mounting bracket 300 has a mounting plate on top and on each of its left and right sides relative to the support frame 200 for mounting other structures. Specifically, the fixing component 500 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 300 away from the base 100, that is, the fixing component 500 is located above the support bracket 200, so as to fix the folding keyboard 10 to the mounting bracket 300 by the fixing component 500. The pressing component 400 is installed on the opposite sides of the mounting bracket 300, that is, the pressing component 400 is located on the left and right sides of the support bracket 200, so as to press the hinge to the folding keyboard 10 by the pressing component 400. Therefore, when it is necessary to press the hinge of the folding keyboard 10, first place the folding keyboard 10 on the support frame 200. After placement, the fixing component 500 moves towards the support frame 200 until the fixing component 500 contacts the folding keyboard 10. The folding keyboard 10 is fixed to the support frame 200 by pressing down the fixing component 500. After fixing, the pressing component 400 moves towards both ends of the support frame 200 until the pressing component 400 contacts the hinge inside the folding keyboard 10 and presses the hinge. After pressing, the pressing component 400 and the fixing component 500 move away from the support frame 200 and return to their initial positions. Finally, the folding keyboard 10 with the hinge pressed can be removed from the support frame 200.

[0023] Furthermore, the pressing assembly 400 includes a telescopic rod 410 and a first drive cylinder 420. The telescopic rod 410 passes through both sides of the mounting bracket 300 to press the rotating shaft via its extension and retraction. When the telescopic rod 410 extends, its end passes through the mounting bracket 300 and moves towards the support frame 200, abutting against the rotating shaft and pressing it into the folding keyboard 10. When the telescopic rod 410 retracts, its end gradually moves away from the rotating shaft and returns to its initial position. The pressing of the rotating shaft is completed by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 410. The first drive cylinder 420 is installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 300 away from the support frame 200. The telescopic rod 410 is connected to the first drive cylinder 420, so the first drive cylinder 420 drives the telescopic rod 410 to extend and retract, causing the telescopic rod 410 to press the rotating shaft into the folding keyboard 10.

[0024] To prevent the hinge from being damaged, a pressing head 411 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 410 facing the support frame 200. When the telescopic rod 410 extends, the pressing head 411 is used to press the hinge into the folding keyboard 10. A sleeve is fitted on the pressing head 411. The sleeve is made of soft materials such as rubber. The sleeve buffers the impact force brought by the telescopic rod 410, so that the force on both ends of the hinge is kept even and the hinge is not damaged by the extension of the telescopic rod 410. In addition, to assist the pressing head 411 in correctly pressing the hinge, the pressing assembly 400 also includes pressing plugs (not shown in the figure). The pressing plugs are detachably installed on both sides of the hinge, so that the pressing head 411 is pushed by the telescopic rod 410 to press the pressing plugs against the hinge. Specifically, when the folding keyboard 10 is placed on the support frame 200, the pressing plugs are first inserted into the hinge, and then the fixing assembly 500 is activated to fix the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200. Finally, the pressing assembly 400 is activated again, so that the telescopic rod 410 extends towards the hinge. The telescopic rod 410 pushes the pressing head 411 to press the pressing plugs against the hinge, thus completing the hinge pressing. After the hinge is pressed and the folding keyboard 10 is removed from the support frame 200, inspection plugs (not shown in the figure) can be inserted into both sides of the hinge to check whether the hinge is pressed in place.

[0025] Correspondingly, the mounting bracket 300 has pressing through holes 310 on both sides. The telescopic rod 410 passes through the pressing through holes 310. When it is necessary to press the hinge, the telescopic rod 410 passes through the pressing through holes 310 and then contacts the hinge, pressing the hinge onto the folding keyboard 10. After pressing is completed, the telescopic rod 410 passes through the pressing through holes 310 again during the shortening process to return to its initial position.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 500 includes a second drive cylinder 510 and a fixing plate 520. The second drive cylinder 510 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 300 away from the base 100, and the fixing plate 520 is disposed on the side of the second drive cylinder 510 facing the support frame 200. The fixing plate 520 is connected to the second drive cylinder 510 for transmission, so that the fixing plate 520 is driven by the second drive cylinder 510 to move closer to the support frame 200, thereby fixing the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200. Therefore, when it is necessary to fix the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200, the second drive cylinder 510 is activated, causing the second drive cylinder 510 to drive the fixing plate 520 to move closer to the support frame 200 until the fixing plate 520 contacts the folding keyboard 10 on the support frame 200. Then, the fixing plate 520 fixes the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200. After the pivot is pressed, the second drive cylinder 510 drives the fixing plate 520 to move away from the support frame 200, releasing the fixing plate 520 from fixing the folding keyboard 10.

[0027] To allow the fixing plate 520 to move relative to the support frame 200, the second drive cylinder 510 includes a drive rod 511 that passes through the mounting bracket 300. The fixing plate 520 is mounted on the end of the drive rod 511 facing the support frame 200. That is, the extension and retraction of the drive rod 511 allows the fixing plate 520 to move relative to the support frame 200. When it is necessary to fix the folding keyboard 10, the drive rod 511 extends towards the support frame 200, moving the fixing plate 520 towards the support frame 200, so that the fixing plate 520 contacts the folding keyboard 10 on the support frame 200 and fixes the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200. After the pivot is pressed together, the drive rod 511 retracts away from the support frame 200, removing the fixing plate 520 from the folding keyboard 10, thereby releasing the fixing of the folding keyboard 10 and facilitating its removal from the support frame 200.

[0028] In addition, the fixing assembly 500 also includes guide rods 530, which are disposed on both sides of the drive rod 511. The guide rods 530 are slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 300, allowing them to slide relative to the mounting bracket 300. Simultaneously, one end of the guide rod 530 near the support bracket 200 is fixed to the fixing plate 520. Therefore, when the drive rod 511 extends or retracts, the guide rods 530 guide the fixing plate 520 to move toward or away from the fixing plate 520, preventing the fixing plate 520 from shifting during movement and affecting the process of fixing the folding keyboard 10 to the support bracket 200.

[0029] When the fixing assembly 500 fixes the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200 by moving the fixing plate 520, it is necessary to allow both the drive rod 511 and the guide rod 530 to pass through the mounting frame 300 so that the fixing plate 520 can move. The mounting frame 300 is provided with a fixing through hole 320 on the side facing the support frame 200 so that the drive rod 511 and the guide rod 530 can pass through.

[0030] When the folding keyboard hinge pressing device of this application is in operation, it is necessary to prevent it from causing injury to the operator. Therefore, the operation of the device needs to be controlled, so a control component 600 is also included. The control component 600 is disposed on the base 100 and is electrically connected to the pressing component 400 and the fixing component 500 respectively. The control component 600 includes a start button 610 and an emergency stop button 620. There are two start buttons 610, located on both sides of the emergency stop button 620. The operation of the device is started by pressing both start buttons 610 simultaneously, and the operation of the device is stopped immediately by pressing the emergency stop button 620 when it is necessary to stop the operation of the device urgently.

[0031] Therefore, when using the folding keyboard hinge pressing device of this application to press the hinge of the folding keyboard 10, the folding keyboard 10 is first placed on the support frame 200. After placement, the pressing plugs are inserted into both sides of the hinge. Then, the start button 610 is pressed, and the drive rod 511 extends towards the support frame 200, driving the fixing plate 520 to move towards the folding keyboard 10 until the fixing plate 520 fixes the folding keyboard 10 to the support frame 200. Then, the telescopic rod 410 moves towards the support frame 200, driving the pressing head 411 to move towards the pressing plug, so that the pressing plug presses against the hinge, completing the pressing of the hinge. Then, the telescopic rod 410 and the drive rod 511 move away from the support frame 200 respectively, thereby removing the folding keyboard 10, which has completed the hinge pressing, from the support frame 200.
