[0034] In connection with the description of the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals may be used for identical or similar components.

[0035] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the present invention encompasses various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIGS. 1 to 3 are conceptual diagrams of a device for separating an assembly.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a device (100) for separating an assembly (170) may include a moving part (110), a first fixing part (120), a second fixing part (130), a first driving part (140), a second driving part (150), and a fixed part (160). Hereinafter, the device (100) for separating an assembly (170) will be referred to as a device (100) for convenience.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the moving part (110) may include a first side facing a first direction (101). For example, the first direction may be a direction in which the +Z axis faces. The moving part (110) may include a second side facing a second direction (102) opposite to the first direction (101). For example, the second direction may be a direction in which the -Z axis faces. The moving part (110) may include at least one plate. For example, the at least one plate may include a first side facing the first direction (101), a second side facing a second direction (102) opposite to the first direction (101), and a side surface between the first side and the second side.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first mounting portion (120) and a second mounting portion (130) may be disposed on a first side of a moving portion (110). The moving portion (110) may support the first mounting portion (120) and the second mounting portion (130). For example, the first mounting portion (120) and the second mounting portion (130) may be disposed on a first surface of at least one plate included in the moving portion (110). The first driving portion (140) and the second driving portion (150) may be connected to at least a portion of a second side of the moving portion (110). For example, at least a portion of a second surface of at least one plate and the first driving portion (140) and the second driving portion (150) may be connected. Due to the driving of the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit (150), the moving unit (110) can move in at least one direction among the first direction (101) and the second direction (102).

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the assembly (170) may be seated on the first mounting portion. Another portion of the assembly (170) may be seated on the second mounting portion (130). The first mounting portion (120) and the second mounting portion (130) may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance on the first side or the first surface. For example, the first mounting portion (120) and the second mounting portion (130) may be spaced apart from each other to correspond to the size of the assembly (170). The first mounting portion (120) may lift at least a portion of the assembly (170) in the first direction (101) when the moving portion (110) is moved in the first direction (101) by the first driving portion (140) and the second driving portion (150). The second fixing member (130) can lift another part of the assembly (170) in the first direction (101) when the moving member (110) moves in the first direction (101) by the first driving member (140) and the second driving member (150).

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit (150) can move the moving unit (110) in at least one of the first direction (101) and the second direction (102). For example, the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit may include an elastic member, and the moving unit (110) can be moved by a restoring force according to the contraction or relaxation of the elastic member. However, the shape of the driving units (140, 150) is not limited thereto. For example, the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit may include a motor, and the moving unit (110) can be moved by being driven by the motor.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an assembly (170) may refer to an object in which two or more components are assembled. The assembly (170) may include a first part (171) and a second part (172). For example, the assembly (170) may include a smart watch in which a main body (e.g., the first part (171) of FIG. 1) and a back plate (e.g., the second part (172) of FIG. 1) are assembled. However, the shape or type of the assembly (170) is not limited thereto.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the moving part (110) is moved in the second direction (102) by the first driving part (140) and the second driving part (150), the assembly (170) can be moved in the second direction (102) with respect to the fixed part (160). As the assembly (170) moves in the second direction (102), the second part (172) of the assembly (170) can be attached to the fixed part (160). For example, when the first driving part (140) and the second driving part (150) include an elastic member, the first driving part (140) and the second driving part (150) can move in the second direction (102) toward the fixed part (160) as the elastic member is compressed. For example, an assembly (170) mounted on a moving part (110) can be moved toward a fixed part (160) by driving a motor.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second part (171) of the assembly (170) is attached to the fixed part (160) (e.g., the state shown in FIG. 2), when the first driving part (140) and the second driving part (150) push the moving part (110) toward the first direction (101), the second part (172) of the assembly (170) can be separated from the first part (171) (e.g., the state shown in FIG. 3). When the first part (171) of the assembly (170) is moved in the first direction (101) together with the moving part (110) while being mounted on the first mounting part (120) and the second mounting part (130), the second part (172) attached to the fixed part (160) that is not moved by the first driving part (140) and the second driving part (150) can be separated from the first part (171).

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, when the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit (150) include elastic members, the first part (171) secured to the first fixing unit (120) and the second fixing unit (130) can be moved in the first direction (101) by the restoring force of the elastic member toward the first direction (101), and the second part (172) attached to the fixing unit (160) can be separated from the first part (171). For example, when the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit (150) include a motor, when the first driving unit (140) and the second driving unit (150) move in the first direction (101) by the motor, the first part (171) mounted on the first mounting unit (120) and the second mounting unit (130) moves in the first direction (101), and the second part (172) attached to the fixing unit (160) can be separated from the first part (171).

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a device for separating an assembly. FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating an example of a device for separating an assembly. FIG. 6 is a top view illustrating an example of a device for separating an assembly. FIG. 7 is a front view illustrating an example of a device for separating an assembly.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the device (400) may correspond to the device (100). The device (400) may include a plate (410), a first mounting portion (420), a second mounting portion (430), a first elastic member (440), a second elastic member (450), a pad (adsorption pad) (460), a first guide portion (470), a second guide portion (480), a first support member (490), a second support member (500), a third support member (510), and a base (520). For example, the plate (410) may be included in the moving portion (110). For example, the first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430) may correspond to the first mounting portion (120) and the second mounting portion (130) of FIGS. 1 to 3, respectively. However, the first fixing portion (420) in FIGS. 4 to 7 may be formed integrally with the first guide portion (470). The first fixing portion (420) may also be composed of components distinct from the first guide portion (470). The second fixing portion (430) in FIGS. 4 to 7 may be formed integrally with the second guide portion (480). The second fixing portion (430) may also be composed of components distinct from the second guide portion (480). For example, the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) may be included in the first driving portion (140) and the second driving portion (150) of FIGS. 1 to 3, respectively. For example, the pad (460) may be included in the fixing portion (160) of FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plate (410) may include a first side facing a first direction (101), a second side facing a second direction (102) opposite to the first direction, and a side surface between the first side and the second side. For example, the first direction (101) may be a direction facing the +Z axis. For example, the second direction (102) may be a direction facing the -Z axis. Referring to FIG. 4, the plate (410) is illustrated as a single component including an opening (530), but the plate (410) may be composed of two or more. For example, the plate (410) may be divided into a first plate supported by a first elastic member (440) and a second plate supported by a second elastic member (450). A first mounting portion (420) and a second mounting portion (430) may be arranged on a first surface of the plate (410) at a predetermined distance apart from each other. The first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) may support at least a portion of the second surface of the plate (410). The plate (410) may be moved in at least one of the first direction (101) and the second direction (102) with respect to the position of the pad (460) by the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450).

[0049] In one embodiment, an assembly (not shown) may be mounted on the first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430). For example, at least a portion of the assembly may be mounted on the first mounting portion (420), and another portion may be mounted on the second mounting portion (430). The first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430) may move the assembly in the first direction (101) when the plate (410) is driven by the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) to move in the first direction (101) while the assembly is mounted thereon. The first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430) may include a shape corresponding to the shape of the assembly to be mounted thereon.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the assembly has a symmetrical shape, the first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430) may be formed symmetrically, but are not necessarily limited thereto, and the shapes of the first mounting portion (420) and the second mounting portion (430) may be appropriately modified to achieve the purpose of mounting the assembly.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion (420) may include a first guide portion (470). The second mounting portion (430) may include a second guide portion (480). The guide portions (470, 480) may be formed as separate members from the mounting portions (420, 430) or may be formed integrally. The guide portions (470, 480) may be formed to guide the position of an assembly mounted on the mounting portions (420, 430). The guide portions (470, 480) will be described later with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) can move the position of the plate (410). For example, when a force is applied to the plate (410) in the second direction (102), the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) can apply a restoring force toward the first direction (101) that is generated due to contraction to the plate (410). The restoring force allows the plate (410) to move in the first direction (101). For example, when a force is applied to the plate (410) in the first direction (101), the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) can apply a restoring force toward the second direction (102) that is generated due to relaxation to the plate (410). The restoring force allows the plate (410) to move in the second direction (102).

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pad (460) may be formed of a shape and / or material to which a portion of the assembly may be adsorbed or attached. For example, the pad (460) may include a rubber pad or a silicone pad. However, the material of the pad (460) is not limited thereto. As the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) contract in the second direction (102), a portion of the assembly may be attached to the pad (460). When a portion of the assembly is attached to the pad (460), a space formed between the assembly and the pad (460) may become vacuum. As the space becomes vacuum, a portion of the assembly may be adsorbed to the pad (460). When the first elastic member (440) and the second elastic member (450) apply a restoring force to the plate (410) toward the first direction (101), as the assembly seated on the seating portion (420, 430) moves in the first direction (101), a part of the assembly adsorbed on the pad (460) may be separated from the assembly.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plate (410) may include an opening (530) so that an operation of attaching to the pad (460) toward the second direction (102) or detaching from the pad (460) toward the first direction (101) can occur while the assembly is seated on the mounting portion (420, 430). The opening (530) may have a size through which the pad (460) can pass. The plate (410) may be formed of a plurality of plates so that an operation of attaching to the pad (460) toward the second direction (102) or detaching from the pad (460) toward the first direction (101) can occur while the assembly is seated on the mounting portion (420, 430). A pad (460) is provided between a plurality of plates, so that an assembly mounted on a mounting portion (420, 430) can be separated from the pad (460) or absorbed by the pad.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first support member (490) can support the first elastic member (440) or prevent the first elastic member (440) from being detached during the process of contraction or relaxation. The second support member (500) can support the second elastic member (450) or prevent the second elastic member (450) from being detached during the process of contraction or relaxation. The third support member (510) can support the pad (460). The position of the pad (460) can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the third support member (510). A negative pressure device, which will be described later in FIG. 25, can be connected to the pad (460) through the third support member (510). The base (520) can support the first support member (490), the second support member (500), and the third support member (510).

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 8 is a drawing showing an example of a mounting portion on which a device for separating an assembly is mounted. FIG. 9 is a drawing showing an example of a plate on which the mounting portion is mounted. Although FIGS. 8 to 21 below describe only the first mounting portion (420), the same description can also be applied to the second mounting portion (430).

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion (420) may include at least one protrusion (800) and a receiving portion (820). The plate (410) may include a receiving portion (900), at least one recessed portion (910), and a through hole (920).

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plate (410) may include a mounting portion (900) on which the first mounting portion (420) may be mounted. For example, the mounting portion (900) may be formed to correspond to the shape of the first mounting portion (420). For example, the mounting portion (900) may include a recess formed toward the second direction (102) to mount the first mounting portion (420) and prevent the first mounting portion (420) from being detached from the device (400).

[0059] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion (420) may include at least one protrusion (800) formed to be coupled with the plate (410). The plate (410) may include at least one recess (910) into which the at least one protrusion (800) may be inserted. The at least one recess (910) may include a recess formed to correspond to the shape of the at least one protrusion (800). By inserting the at least one protrusion (800) into the recess, the first mounting portion (420) may be fixed to the plate (410).

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing portion (420) can be rotated as described later in FIG. 16. In a state where the first fixing portion (420) is fixed to the plate (410) by at least one groove (910), the first fixing portion (420) can be moved toward the first direction (101) so that the first fixing portion (420) can be rotated. In order to prevent the first fixing portion (420) from being moved by a predetermined distance or more and being detached from the device (400) and to enable the first fixing portion (420) to be easily rotated about the Z-axis, the device (400) may include a first fixing member (810).

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing member (810) may include a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion extending from the first portion and having a second diameter larger than the first diameter. The shape of the first fixing member (810) is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be appropriately deformed and implemented within a purpose range for preventing the first fixing portion (420) from being detached from the device (400) or for enabling the first fixing portion (420) to easily rotate.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plate (410) may include a through hole (920) through which at least a portion of the first portion of the first fixing member (810) may pass. The through hole (920) may be formed to penetrate the first surface and the second surface of the plate (410). The first mounting portion (420) may include a receiving portion (820) formed to receive the first portion of the first fixing member (810). The receiving portion (820) may receive at least a portion of the first fixing member (810). For example, the diameter of the receiving portion (820) and the diameter of the through hole (920) may be formed to correspond to the first diameter of the first portion of the first fixing member (810).

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing member (810) can be fastened to the receiving portion (820) by passing through the through hole (920). The first fixing member (180) can function as a fastening member so that the first seating portion (420) and the plate (410) are coupled. When the first seating portion (420) is moved a predetermined distance in the first direction, the second part of the first fixing member (810) cannot pass through the through hole (920) formed on the second surface of the plate (410). The second part of the first fixing member (810) can prevent the first fixing member (810) from being separated from the outside of the plate (410) by passing through the through hole (920).

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing member (420) can be rotated about the first fixing member (810) as an axis after moving a predetermined distance in the first direction. The second fixing member (430) can include a structure identical to or similar to the first fixing member (420).

[0065] In one embodiment, Fig. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the components of a mounting portion being separated. Fig. 11 is a top view of an example of a plate on which a mounting portion is mounted.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion (420) may include a first magnet (1000). The first magnet (1000) may be positioned at a position corresponding to at least one protrusion (800). For example, the first magnet (1000) may be inserted into a groove formed in at least one protrusion (800). The plate (410) may include a second magnet (1100) formed to exert an attractive force on the first magnet (1000). The second magnet (1100) may be positioned at a position corresponding to at least one recess (910). For example, the second magnet (1100) may be positioned at a position facing the first magnet (1000) when at least one protrusion (800) is inserted into at least one recess (910).

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 12 is a drawing showing an example of a state in which a mounting portion is coupled to a plate. FIG. 13 is a drawing showing an example of a state in which a mounting portion is separated from the plate.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first magnet (1000) and the second magnet (1100) can be configured such that when at least one protrusion (800) of the first mounting portion (420) is inserted into at least one groove (920) of the plate (410), the first mounting portion (420) can be more firmly fixed or coupled to the plate (410). As the at least one protrusion (800) approaches the at least one groove (920) in the second direction, an attractive force can be generated between the first magnet (1000) and the second magnet (1100). Due to the attractive force, the first mounting portion (420) can not be separated from the plate (410).

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 14 is a drawing showing an example of a state in which a mounting portion is coupled to a plate. FIG. 15 is a drawing showing an example of a state in which a mounting portion is separated from the plate.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing member (810) may include a third elastic member (1400). For example, the third elastic member (1400) may be provided on a first portion of the first fixing member (810). For example, the third elastic member (1400) may be formed to surround at least a portion of the first portion of the first fixing member (810). For example, the third elastic member (1400) may be arranged to pass through the through hole (920) and be connected to the first mounting portion (420).
