Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to an automatic assembly equipment for button components. Background Technology

[0002] Buttons are an indispensable core human-machine interaction component in various electronic devices, home appliances, industrial control equipment and smart terminals, and are widely used in many fields such as daily appliances, industrial control, and vehicle equipment.

[0003] A button assembly for waterproof switches is available, which adopts an assembly structure with double sealing rings and springs. This structure can effectively ensure the button assembly's press-and-reset performance, while also achieving dustproof and waterproof sealing during equipment use, thus significantly improving the button assembly's stability and service life.

[0004] Currently, for the assembly of button components with the aforementioned structure, most manufacturers in the industry still use manual assembly or simple auxiliary tooling. In actual production applications, this traditional assembly method has many inherent defects, severely restricting the production efficiency and finished product quality of buttons. Manual assembly highly depends on the operator's skill and focus. The sealing ring is a small, flexible component, which is prone to problems such as assembly misalignment, misalignment, omission, and loosening. The spring sleeve is prone to skewness and incomplete placement, ultimately leading to quality problems such as substandard sealing performance of the button component, pressing jamming, and reset failure. The product assembly qualification rate is uneven, the quality stability is poor, and continuous, large-scale assembly line production cannot be achieved. The overall assembly efficiency is low, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of large-volume, standardized mass production, thus limiting the manufacturer's production capacity.

[0005] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design an automated assembly equipment to address the above-mentioned button component structure in order to overcome the technical defects in the assembly of existing button components. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an automatic assembly device for button components, including a machine frame. A first circulation mechanism, a second circulation mechanism, and a cover transfer mechanism are mounted on the machine frame. The first circulation mechanism drives a first positioning fixture to rotate along a first circulation trajectory, and the second circulation mechanism drives a second positioning fixture to rotate along a second circulation trajectory. The cover transfer mechanism spans between the first and second circulation trajectories. A cover feeding mechanism and a first sealing ring assembly mechanism are sequentially arranged along the first circulation trajectory on the machine frame. A core seat feeding mechanism, a second sealing ring assembly mechanism, a spring feeding mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a discharging mechanism are sequentially arranged along the second circulation trajectory on the machine frame. The housing feeding mechanism is used to transfer the housing into the first positioning fixture; the first sealing ring assembly mechanism is used to install the first sealing ring onto the housing within the first positioning fixture; the core seat feeding mechanism is used to transfer the core seat into the second positioning fixture; the second sealing ring assembly mechanism is used to install the second sealing ring onto the core seat within the second positioning fixture; the spring feeding mechanism is used to install the spring onto the core seat within the second positioning fixture; the housing transfer mechanism is used to transfer the pre-assembled housing from the first positioning fixture and assemble it onto the core seat within the second positioning fixture; the pressing mechanism is used to press the assembled core seat and housing together; and the unloading mechanism is used to remove the pressed button assembly from the second positioning fixture.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This technical solution uses a first circulation mechanism and a second circulation mechanism to drive their respective positioning fixtures in a cyclical flow. The two circulation tracks are used to complete the pre-assembly of the cover side and the core seat side, and then the assembly is completed by the cover transfer mechanism. Each station is arranged in sequence along the circulation track, and each process flows continuously and automatically, replacing manual assembly and simple tooling operation mode, realizing continuous production, increasing output per unit time, realizing continuous and large-scale mass production operations, and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0008] This technical solution utilizes dedicated first and second sealing ring assembly mechanisms to automatically assemble two sealing rings, replacing manual placement and effectively preventing issues such as sealing ring misalignment or omissions. The spring feeding mechanism automatically assembles the spring sleeves, reducing spring misalignment and incomplete assembly, ensuring the assembly position accuracy of the double sealing rings and spring structure. This guarantees the dustproof and waterproof sealing performance of the button assembly from the assembly stage. Simultaneously, after the sealing rings and springs are assembled, a cover transfer mechanism connects the cover to the core seat, and a pressing mechanism performs uniform pressing. The assembly position and pressing force are controllable and stable, reducing quality defects such as pressing jams and reset failures in the finished product, improving the assembly qualification rate of the button assembly, and enhancing the consistency of finished product quality.
