Abstract:
An assembly module, an assembly apparatus, and a method of operating the assembly module are introduced. The assembly module includes a first assembly die, a second assembly die and at least one engagement die. The first assembly die has a plurality of first fitting portions. The second assembly die has a plurality of second fitting portions and corresponds in position to the first assembly die. The engagement die is removably disposed at a related point of at least one first fitting portion, at a related point of at least one second fitting portion or at related points of at least one first fitting portion and at least one second fitting portion. Therefore, the assembly module is effective in fitting a component and an assembly target together, easy to operate, and conducive to quick assembly.
Abstract:
An assembling die block includes a first main die having at least one first mounting section; a second main die having at least one second mounting section; at least one first matching die respectively having a first mating section to be correspondingly associated with the at least one first mounting section; and at least one second matching die respectively having a second mating section to be correspondingly associated with the at least one second mounting section. Wherein, there is a plurality of first mounting sections arrayed in a matrix; or there is a plurality of second mounting sections arrayed in a matrix; or there is a plurality of first mounting sections arrayed in a matrix and a plurality of second mounting sections arrayed in a matrix. An assembling apparatus using the above assembling die block is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A quick release connecting device includes an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer. The fixing member includes a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member is coupled with a second object. The fixing member includes a limiting section and the pivot member includes a corresponding limiting section, such that the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limit or stop each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated. With these arrangements, the quick release connecting device can be applied to conveniently and repeatedly connect and separate a circuit board, a drawer, or a window to and from a corresponding rack, chassis, cabinet or window frame. The pivot member may be a pin that passes through a hole in the second object is retained by deformation of an end of the pin or by deformation of a portion of the second object.
Abstract:
A packaging method for assembling a captive screw to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes the steps of providing a captive screw having a screw head, a threaded shank and a sleeve; pressing a fixture toward the screw head for a part of the threaded shank to exposed from a distal end of the sleeve, and then clamping the fixture on the sleeve; providing a PCB having through holes and a layer of solder provided thereon; using a tool to pick up the fixture and the captive screw and align the threaded shank with one through hole on the PCB; releasing the fixture and the captive screw from the tool for a flange at the distal end of the sleeve to extend into the through hole; heating, melting and then cooling to harden the solder layer, so that the sleeve is fixedly held to the PCB; and removing the fixture.
Abstract:
A screw structure with a stop ring includes a screw, a ferrule, and a stop ring. The stop ring is fitted on a threaded shank of the screw to push against a front end of the ferrule, so that the ferrule is pressed against a head of the screw. With the ferrule being firmly pressed against the head of the screw by the stop ring, the ferrule will not sway relative to the screw, allowing the screw structure to be stably sucked with a sucking tool and be highly accurately assembled to a printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A latch-type locating device including an outer sleeve having an annular engaging section formed at a front end thereof; an inner sleeve movably telescoped in the outer sleeve; a linking unit including a connecting rod located in the outer sleeve, an actuating rod connected to a front end of the connecting rod and fitted in the inner sleeve to interfere with the same, and a flange formed at a rear end of the connecting rod; a cap member being engaged with the flange of the linking unit; and an elastic element fitted around the connecting rod of the linking unit. The inner sleeve may be driven by the cap member and linking unit to extend from or retract into the outer sleeve to thereby lock an article in place or release the article.
Abstract:
A fastener structure includes a head portion, rod member and fitting member. The head portion has a lateral holding portion and vertical receiving portion. The rod member has a lateral attaching portion and engaging member. The rod member is penetratingly disposed at the receiving portion to allow the attaching portion to correspond in position to the holding portion. The fitting member is penetratingly disposed at the attaching portion and the holding portion to fit the head portion and the rod member together. To couple two objects together, the head portion drives an engaging portion of the rod member, such that the engaging portion penetrates one object before being fastened to the other object. To unfasten the objects, the head portion is moved reversely to remove the engaging portion from the other object, effecting separation of the objects, so as to achieve quick coupling and easy unfastening.
Abstract:
An improved fastener includes a fastener body and a blocker. The fastener body has an end functioning as a connecting head, and center of the fastener body forms an axial threaded bore. An end of the axial threaded bore corresponding to the connecting head is formed into a recess surrounded by the connecting head. The blocker is removably fitted in the recess of the fastener body. When the connecting head of the fastener body is extended through a fixing hole on a printed circuit board with the blocker fitted in the recess, solder paste applied over the fixing hole is prevented from entering into the axial threaded bore of the fastener body to interfere with a screw being threaded into the fastener body.

The stop ring is fitted on a threaded shank of the screw to push against a front end of the ferrule, so that the ferrule is pressed against a head of the screw. With the ferrule being firmly pressed against the head of the screw by the stop ring, the ferrule will not sway relative to the screw, allowing the screw structure to be stably sucked with a sucking tool and be highly accurately assembled to a printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A handle structure with locking unit includes a handle having a hollow fitting section provided at a predetermined position, a locking unit movably coupled with the handle, and an elastic element fitted around the rod section and restricted within the fitting section. The locking unit includes a rod section fitted in the fitting section of the handle, an operating section located at an end of the rod section to outward protrude from a first end of the fitting section, and a threaded section located at another end of the rod section to outward protrude from a second end of the fitting section. An annular stop section is formed around the rod section to interfere with the fitting section. When a slidable carrier unit with the handle structure mounted thereto is in a fully inward pushed position, the operating section may be turned to lock or unlock the carrier unit.
