The plug-in process is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a plug-in method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Next, the card insertion device 1 of the foregoing embodiment will be described. The card inserting method of the present embodiment includes a feeding step S1, a grasping step S2, a feeding step S3, a loading step S4, a grasping step S5, and a card inserting step S6.

A feeding step S1: the first feeding unit 10 transfers the key switch 11 to the loading device 30. For example, as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, which are partial top views of an embodiment of the feeding step of the present invention, the components of the grabbing head 40 are omitted in this embodiment to clearly show the movement of the loading device 30, which will be described first. As shown in fig. 5, the sliding block 32 of the loading device 30 can slide to the discharging position of the key switch 11 of the first feeding unit 10, so that the first feeding unit 10 can transfer the key switch 11 to the carrying area 33 of the sliding block 32. Referring to fig. 2 and 5, in an embodiment, the bearing area 33 of the sliding block 31 may be provided with a limiting groove 34, so that the key switch 11 can be accommodated in the limiting groove 34 to be fixed, thereby preventing the key switch 11 from shaking and shifting during the movement of the sliding block 31. Next, referring to fig. 5 and 6, after the slide block 32 of the loading device 30 receives the key switch 11 transmitted by the first feeding unit 10, it can slide along the sliding slot 35 to the upper side of the lifting platform 36.

Grasping step S2: moving the pick-up head 40 close to the loading device 30 and picking up the key switch 11 by the pick-up device 41, for example, as shown in fig. 7, which is a cross-sectional view B-B of fig. 6, in an embodiment, the pick-up head 40 may be connected to a driving member (such as a motor, a slide rail or a robot arm, which is not shown in the figure) to drive the pick-up head 40 to move by the driving member, the pick-up head 40 may first move to above the key switch 11 carried by the loading device 30, then move downward close to the loading device 30 to be able to sleeve the key switch 11 with the cover 42, and the vacuum tube 43 is used to draw a vacuum inside the cover 42 to generate a suction force to suck the key switch 11.

Feeding step S3: the second supply unit 20 delivers a light emitting member 21 to the loading device 30. For example, referring to fig. 3 and 7, in an embodiment, the lifting platform 36 of the loading device 30 may correspond to the discharging position of the light emitting element 21 of the second feeding unit 20, so that the light emitting element 21 can be conveyed onto the lifting platform 36, and the carrying area 33 of the sliding block 32 of the loading device 30 is located above the light emitting element 21.

Loading step S4: the loading device 30 loads and accommodates the light emitting element 21 in the accommodating cavity 111 of the key switch 11. For example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, a hollow-out groove 341 is further formed at the bottom of the limiting groove 34 of the slider 32 to correspond to the lifting table 36, and when the lifting table 36 receives the light-emitting element 21, the light-emitting element 21 can move upward to approach the slider 32, so that the light-emitting element 21 passes through the limiting groove 34 to be loaded and accommodated in the accommodating cavity 111 of the key switch 11, and the key switch 11 and the light-emitting element 21 can be centralized at one location. In one embodiment, the lift table 36 may be coupled to a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric motor to raise and lower relative to the slide 32. In some embodiments, the loading device 30 can also transport the illuminating element 21 to be loaded into the receiving cavity 111 of the key switch 11 by other automated equipment (e.g., a robot arm), and is not limited to the lifting platform 36.

Gripping step S5: the gripper 47 of the gripper head 40 grips the luminous element 21. As shown in fig. 8, after the pick-up head 40 is sleeved into the key switch 11 by the cover 42 (as the pick-up step S2), the vacuum suction head 48 (i.e. the grasping member 47) of the pick-up head 40 can correspondingly penetrate into the receiving cavity 111 of the key switch 11 to correspondingly be above the lifting platform 36, so that when the lifting platform 36 moves up to load the light emitting member 21 into the receiving cavity 111 of the key switch 11, the light emitting member 21 can correspondingly approach or touch the vacuum suction head 48, at this time, the vacuum suction head 48 can be driven to generate suction force to grasp the light emitting member 21, and thus, the pick-up head 40 can respectively grasp the key switch 11 and the light emitting member 21 together with the vacuum suction head 48 by the grasping device 41 and the vacuum suction head 48.

Plug-in step S6: the gripper head 40 is moved close to a plug-in position and the pushbutton switch 11 is released by the gripper device 41 and the luminous element 21 is released by the gripper element 47. For example, referring to fig. 1, 9 and 10, after the pick-up head 40 grasps the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 together, the pick-up head 40 is moved away from the loading device 30 to separate the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 from the loading device 30 (as shown in fig. 9), then the pick-up head 40 is moved above a worktable 2 to be positioned on the mounting hole 4 corresponding to a substrate 3 (such as a circuit board or a bottom board of a keyboard) (as shown in fig. 1), and finally the pick-up head 40 is moved downward to insert the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 into the mounting hole 4 simultaneously (as shown in fig. 10, i.e. a plug-in position), and the suction force of the vacuum tube 43 and the vacuum suction head 48 is released to release the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 together to complete the plug-in operation.

To sum up, in the plug-in process of the embodiment of the present invention, the loading device 30 can load and accommodate the light emitting element 21 in the accommodating cavity 111 of the key switch 11, so that the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 can be centralized at one location, and the grabbing head 40 includes a grabbing device 41 and a grasping element 47, so that when the grabbing head 40 moves close to the loading device 30, the grabbing head can grab the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 together, so that the grabbing head 40 can subsequently insert the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 into corresponding workpieces (such as a circuit board or a bottom board of a keyboard) at the same time, thereby greatly simplifying the plug-in process.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating steps of another embodiment of the plug-in method of the present invention. The card inserting method of the present embodiment includes a feeding step S7, a loading step S8, a grasping step S9, and a card inserting step S10. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment of fig. 4 is that the first feeding unit 10 is used to transport the key switch 11 to the loading device 30, the second feeding unit 20 is used to transport the light emitting element 21 to the loading device 30 (feeding step S7), then the loading device 30 is used to load the light emitting element 21 into the receiving cavity 111 of the key switch 11 (loading step S8), and then the grabbing head 40 is moved close to the loading device 30, so that the grabbing device 41 can grab the key switch 11 and the grabbing device 47 can grab the light emitting element 21 (grabbing step S9). In other words, in the present embodiment, the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 are collected together, and then the grabbing head 40 is moved to grab the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 together. Finally, the pick head 40 is moved to approach a plug-in position to release the key switch 11 and the light emitting element 21 together to complete the plug-in operation (plug-in step S10), thereby further simplifying the plug-in process.

elastic elements

451, 461 have the same structure, the top of the elastic element 461 is assembled (e.g. fastened by screws, glued or heat-melted) to the outer side of the second sidewall 46, the bottom of the elastic element 461 is not fixed to the second sidewall 46 to form a free end 462, and the free end 462 is provided with a clamping pad 463, and the clamping pad 463 penetrates into the inner side of the receiving groove 44. Therefore, when the gripper head 40 is moved close to the loading device 30 and the receiving groove 44 is sleeved in the key switch 11, the two

elastic members

451, 461 can provide elastic force to clamp the key switch 11, so as to achieve the configuration of omitting the evacuation tube 43, and further simplify the plug-in process without driving a vacuum pump or a pressure pump to evacuate air.
