[0002] Styluses are widely used in electronic devices such as tablets and smartphones. With the increasing demand for miniaturization in electronic devices, consumers also have certain requirements regarding the size of styluses. A stylus mainly consists of a probe and a housing.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a stylus assembly device 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the stylus assembly equipment 1000 after the hidden housing 3000, the feeding device 400, and the product unloading device 500; Figure 10This is a structural diagram illustrating the process of probe 2000 being inserted into housing 3000. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure after the probe 2000 is inserted into the housing 3000. This embodiment of the invention provides a stylus assembly device 1000, which includes a base 900, an assembly device 200, and a probe loading device 100 provided in this embodiment. Both the assembly device 200 and the probe loading device 100 are mounted on the base 900. The assembly device 200 picks up the probe 2000 from the transfer mechanism 120 of the probe loading device 100 and inserts the probe 2000 into the housing 3000. By incorporating the probe loading device 100 provided in this embodiment, the assembly device 200 can accurately insert the probe 2000 into the housing 3000, improving the assembly accuracy between the probe 2000 and the housing 3000 and reducing the stylus defect rate.

[0026] Specifically, the stylus assembly equipment 1000 includes a dispensing device 300, which can dispense adhesive onto the probe 2000 on the assembly device 200 and detect the amount of adhesive on the probe 2000 to ensure the yield of the assembly of the probe 2000 and the housing 3000.

[0027] Specifically, one end of the probe 2000 is constructed as a thin rod, which needs to be inserted into the housing 3000, while the other end of the probe 2000 is constructed as a pen tip and exposed outside the housing 3000. Therefore, during assembly, the assembly device 200 needs to clamp the pen tip of the probe 2000 and insert its thin rod into the housing 3000. The probe feeding device 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention can better clamp and position the thin rod of the positioning probe 2000, so that after the assembly device 200 picks up the probe 2000, the relative position between the assembly device 200 and the probe 2000 is accurate, so that the assembly device 200 can accurately insert the probe 2000 into the housing 3000, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the probe 2000 and the housing 3000.

[0028] Specifically, the stylus assembly equipment 1000 includes a housing loading device 400 and a product unloading device 500. The housing loading device 400 can load the housing 3000, and the product unloading device 500 can unload the probe 2000 after it has been assembled with the housing 3000.

[0029] The probe feeding device 100 provided in the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0030] Please see Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 8 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the feeding mechanism 110 and the loading mechanism 130 in the probe feeding device 100; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the feeding mechanism 130; Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the transfer mechanism 120 after concealing the translation module 126 (with the transfer fixture 121 in the receiving position). This utility model embodiment provides a probe feeding device 100, which includes a feeding mechanism 110, a transfer mechanism 120, and a feeding mechanism 130. The feeding mechanism 110 is used to carry probes 2000. The transfer mechanism 120 includes a transfer fixture 121, a pressure block 122, and a pressing drive module 123. The transfer fixture 121 has a positioning groove 1211 for accommodating the probe 2000. The pressing drive module 123 is disposed on the transfer fixture 121 and connected to the pressure block 122. The pressing drive module 123 is used to drive the pressure block 122 to press the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211 radially along the probe 2000. The feeding mechanism 130 includes a feeding drive module 131 and a picking module 132. The picking module 132 is disposed in the feeding drive module 131. The feeding drive module 131 is used to drive the picking module 132 to pick up the probe 2000 of the feeding mechanism 110 and place the probe 2000 into the positioning slot 1211.

[0031] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 110 includes a frame 111, a carrier plate 112, a pallet loading module 113, a pallet unloading module 114, and a pallet transfer module 115. The frame 111 is mounted on the top side of the base 900, the carrier plate 112 is mounted on the frame 111, and the pallet loading module 113 and the pallet unloading module 114 are arranged adjacent to each other on the frame 111, both located on the bottom side of the carrier plate 112. The pallet loading module 113 is used to lift the pallet 4000 loaded with multiple probes 2000 onto the carrier plate 112, so as to... After the pallet 4000 is loaded, the pallet transfer module 115 is used to grab the pallet 4000 loaded with multiple probes 2000 and transfer the pallet 4000 to the top side of the pallet unloading module 114. The loading drive module 131 can drive the picking module 132 to pick up the probes 2000 in the pallet 4000 on the pallet unloading module 114. After all the probes 2000 in the pallet 4000 are removed, the pallet unloading module 114 can drive the empty pallet 4000 to descend, so as to complete the unloading of the pallet 4000.

[0032] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 3A schematic diagram of the pallet transfer module 115 in the feeding mechanism 110. The pallet transfer module 115 includes a pallet gripping component 1151 and a pallet transfer component 1152. The pallet transfer component 1152 is mounted on the carrier plate 112 and connected to the pallet gripping component 1151. The pallet transfer component 1152 can drive the pallet gripping component 1151 to grip the pallet 4000 loaded with the probe 2000 and transfer the pallet 4000 to the top side of the pallet unloading module 114.

[0033] Specifically, the feeding drive module 131 is mounted on the frame 111, and the transfer mechanism 120 is mounted on the base 900 and is adjacent to the frame 111.

[0034] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 130 includes a camera module 134, which is located in the feeding drive module 131 and is used to acquire images of the probe 2000 of the feeding mechanism 110 and / or the positioning groove 1211 of the transfer fixture. The feeding drive module 131 can drive the pickup module 132 to pick up the probe 2000 and place the probe 2000 into the positioning groove 1211 based on the images acquired by the camera module 134.

[0035] By creating a positioning groove 1211 in the transfer fixture 121 of the transfer mechanism 120, and by setting a pressure block 122 and a pressure-holding drive module 123, the pressure-holding drive module 123 can drive the pressure block 122 to press the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211 radially, so that the probe 2000 can be fully positioned in the positioning groove 1211, ensuring the consistency of the relative position between the assembly device 200 and the probe 2000 after material handling, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the probe 2000 and the housing 3000. At the same time, the pressure of the pressure block 122 can prevent the probe 2000 from detaching from the positioning groove 1211 due to the excessive weight of its tip.

[0036] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A simplified schematic diagram of the picking module 132 and push block 133 in the feeding mechanism 130. The feeding mechanism 130 includes a push block 133, which is disposed in the feeding drive module 131. The feeding drive module 131 is also used to drive the push block 133 to push the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211 along the axial direction of the probe 2000, so that the probe 2000 moves to a preset position.

[0037] It is understandable that either the push block 133 or the camera module 134 can be selected, as both can achieve axial positioning of the probe 2000 and the positioning groove.

[0038] It is understandable that after the feeding drive module 131 drives the picking module 132 to place the probe 2000 into the positioning groove 1211, the pressing drive module 123 drives the pressing block 122 to press the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211. The pressing block 122 can cooperate with the positioning groove 1211 to radially position the probe 2000, so that the feeding drive module 131 can drive the push block 133 to move the probe 2000 along its axial direction to the preset position.

[0039] Specifically, the feeding drive module 131 can drive the picking module 132 and the pusher block 133 to move along three axes.

[0040] By opening a positioning groove 1211 in the transfer fixture 121 of the transfer mechanism 120 and setting a pusher 133 on the feeding drive module 131, the feeding drive module 131 drives the picking module 132 to pick up the probe 2000 on the feeding mechanism 110 and place the probe 2000 into the positioning groove 1211. After the probe 2000 is placed in the positioning groove 1211, the feeding drive module 131 can drive the pusher 133 to push the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211 along the axial direction of the probe 2000, so that the probe 2000 moves to the preset position. This ensures that the probe 2000 is in the preset position each time it is fed, further improving the consistency of the relative position between the assembly device 200 and the probe 2000 after picking up the material, thereby further improving the assembly accuracy of the probe 2000 and the housing 3000.

[0041] Understandably, the feeding drive module 131 drives the picking module 132 to grasp the tip of the probe 2000 and place the thin rod of the probe 2000 into the positioning groove 1211. Then, it further drives the push block 133 to push the tip of the probe 2000, so that the tip of the probe 2000 abuts against the side of the transfer fixture 121, thereby allowing the thin rod of the probe 2000 to fully extend into the positioning groove 1211. In this way, when the assembly device 200 picks up the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211, it can ensure that the relative position of the assembly device 200 and the probe 2000 is well consistent in the axial direction of the probe 2000. During assembly, the depth to which the probe 2000 extends into the housing 3000 is relatively consistent, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0042] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In order to enable the pressing drive module 123 to drive the pressing block 122 to press the probe 2000 in the positioning groove 1211 and to drive the pressing block 122 to avoid the feeding movement of the picking module 132, the pressing drive module 123 includes a first driver and a second driver. The first driver is used to drive the pressing block 122 to rotate to be opposite to the positioning groove 1211, and the second driver is used to drive the pressing block 122 to move closer to the positioning groove 1211.

[0043] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 8 The first and second drivers are integrated into a rotary clamping cylinder 1231. The pressure block 122 is slidably fitted into the rotary clamping cylinder 1231, and a first elastic element is provided between them. The first elastic element is used to elastically abut against the probe 2000. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the clamping drive module 123 on the one hand, and allows the pressure block 122 to elastically abut against the probe 2000 on the other hand, preventing the pressure block 122 from damaging the probe 2000.

[0044] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the transfer mechanism 120 after the translation module 126 is hidden (with the transfer fixture 121 in the picking position). The transfer mechanism 120 includes a flip drive module 124, which is connected to the transfer fixture 121 and is used to drive the transfer fixture 121 to rotate between the receiving position and the picking position. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the receiving position, the positioning groove 1211 extends horizontally. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the picking position, the positioning groove 1211 extends vertically. It can be understood that when the transfer fixture 121 is in the receiving position, the horizontally extending positioning groove 1211 makes it easier for the picking module 132 to put down the probe 2000 and for the push block 133 to push the probe 2000. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the picking position, the vertically extending positioning groove 1211 makes it easier for the subsequent assembly device 200 to pick up the probe.

[0045] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The transfer mechanism 120 includes a sensor 125, which is disposed in the transfer fixture 121 and can detect the probe 2000 in the positioning slot 1211. With this configuration, after the pick-up module 132 puts the probe 2000 into the slot, the holding drive module 123 drives the pressure block 122 to press the probe 2000 in time.

[0046] Specifically, sensor 125 is located on the bottom side of transfer fixture 121, and a through hole is provided on the bottom wall of positioning groove 1211. Sensor 125 emits a light signal that can pass through the through hole to determine whether there is probe 2000 in positioning groove 1211. When probe 2000 is detected in positioning groove 1211, rotating clamping cylinder 1231 drives pressure block 122 to press probe 2000, so as to facilitate the subsequent pushing of push block 133 and the flipping of flipping drive module 124.

[0047] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the transfer mechanism 120 in the probe loading device 100. To facilitate the loading and unloading of probes 2000 from the transfer fixture 121, the transfer mechanism 120 includes a translation module 126. The translation module 126 is connected to the transfer fixture 121 and is used to drive the transfer fixture 121 to move between the receiving station and the unloading station. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the receiving station, the loading mechanism 130 can place the probe 2000 into the positioning slot 1211. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the unloading station, the probe 2000 in the positioning slot 1211 can be removed.

[0048] Specifically, the translation module 126 can drive the transfer fixture 121 to move in the horizontal direction. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the receiving station, the transfer fixture 121 is located on one side of the feeding mechanism 130. When the transfer fixture 121 is in the picking station, the transfer fixture 121 is located on one side of the assembly device 200.

[0049] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 To enable the pickup module 132 to pick up the probe 2000, the pickup module 132 includes two clamping blocks 1321, a clamping driver 1322, and a third driver 1323. The third driver 1323 is mounted on the feeding drive module 131 and connected to the clamping driver 1322. The third driver 1323 drives the clamping driver 1322 to move vertically. The clamping driver 1322 is connected to the two clamping blocks 1321 and drives the two clamping blocks 1321 to clamp the probe 2000. It can be understood that the clamping driver 1322 works with the two clamping blocks 1321 to perform the clamping action, and the third driver 1323 drives the two clamping blocks 1321 to move to a suitable position so that the two clamping blocks 1321 can more securely clamp the probe 2000.

[0050] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clamping driver 1322 is provided with a mounting plate 13221, and the push block 133 is slidably fitted onto the mounting plate 13221, with a second elastic member 1324 provided between them. The second elastic member 1324 is used to elastically resist the push block 133 against the probe 2000. With this configuration, the push block 133 can elastically resist the probe 2000, reducing the risk of damage to the probe 2000.

[0051] Specifically, the push block 133 extends horizontally and passes through the mounting plate 13221. The second elastic element 1324 is constructed as a spring and is sleeved on the push block 133. One end of the spring abuts against the end of the push block 133, and the other end abuts against the end face of the mounting plate 13221.

[0052] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
