Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the manufacturing process of electronic products, existing methods for detecting properties often result in damage to connectors due to plug-in connections, leading to increased costs and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A press tool with a connector soft-contact member and a press member that utilize a buffer member with magnets and springs to generate a repulsive force, allowing for stable contact between product and apparatus connectors without a plug-in connection, thereby preventing damage and ensuring effective detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a plug-in connection is used to bring connectors into contact for detection, then the connectors can be reliably connected, but the connectors are damaged due to physical stress
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a buffer member between the floating plate and the first base plate that provides cushioning force before the connectors make contact. This buffer member absorbs impact and reduces physical stress during the connection process, preventing connector damage while maintaining reliable electrical contact for detection
Solution Approach 2:
The floating plate acts as an intermediary element between the product connector and the apparatus connector. It transmits the connection force gradually through the buffer member, mediating the interaction to avoid direct impact damage while ensuring stable electrical contact for property detection
2Object-affected harmful factors
If connectors are brought into contact without plug-in connection using a press tool, then connector damage is avoided, but stable coupling is difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The floating plate is designed to be movable relative to the first base plate, allowing dynamic adjustment during the pressing process. This dynamic structure enables the system to adapt to slight misalignments and maintain stable coupling without requiring precise plug-in connection, while the buffer member ensures gentle contact that prevents damage
3Ease of operation
If a pull assisting sheet is used to separate connectors after detection, then connectors can be pulled apart, but the process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The hinged press plate allows the press member to be easily opened and closed relative to the connector soft-contact member. This dynamic hinge mechanism simplifies the separation process compared to using a pull assisting sheet, reducing both operational complexity and time while maintaining connector integrity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The press tool ensures stable coupling of product and apparatus connectors during detection, preventing damage from plug-in connections and reducing costs by avoiding physical stress on the connectors.
Implementation Method 1
The buffer member comprises at least one pair of first magnets, and one of each pair of first magnets is mounted to the floating plate, while the other is mounted to a groove bottom of the groove, such that each pair of first magnets are positioned opposite to each other, and magnetic poles, having the same polarity, of each pair of first magnets face towards each other
Implementation Method 2
The buffer member comprises at least one spring, and each spring has one end mounted to the floating plate, and the other end mounted to the first base plate

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a press tool and an electronic product detecting apparatus including the press tool. The press tool includes: a connector soft-contact member including: a first base plate; a floating plate mounted to the first base plate; and a buffer member mounted between the first base plate and the floating plate and configured such that when receiving a pressing force, the buffer member generates a repulsive force, so that the floating plate is floatable; and a press member connected with the connector soft-contact member such that they are openable and closable relative to each other. The press member includes a second base plate and a connector bearing piece which is mounted to the second base plate and which is positioned just opposite to the floating plate when the connector soft-contact member and the press member are closed.
