Assembly tool

The invention relates to an assembly tool.

The accessory housing of the electronic device is usually provided with other accessory components such as buttons, push buttons, indicators, and the like. In order to make the appearance of the electronic device more beautiful, these accessory components are generally mounted on the casing from the inside of the casing of the electronic device. However, the smaller the electronic device is, the smaller the internal space of the housing is, and it is difficult to install it manually. Therefore, in order to facilitate the installation of these accessory parts, especially the accessory parts with mounting holes, a special assembly tool is required.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an assembly tool suitable for components having mounting holes.

An assembly tool for mounting a component having two opposite mounting holes, the assembly tool comprising a clamping arm and two positioning posts, the clamping arm comprising two intersectingly disposed arms, the two positioning posts being respectively disposed on the two An end portion of the arm and located at an outer side of the arm, the two positioning posts can be received in the mounting hole of the component, and the two arms can be elastically deformed to reduce the angle between the two arms, thereby The distance between the two positioning columns is reduced.

The angle of the arm of the assembly tool can be reduced, so that the positioning post is received in the mounting hole of the accessory component or is removed from the mounting hole of the accessory component, thereby facilitating the shell Auxiliary components are installed in the smaller internal space of the body.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the assembly tool of the second embodiment of the present invention.

The assembly tool of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the assembly tool 20 of the first embodiment of the present invention is used to mount the accessory component 30. The accessory component 30 can be a button, button switch, indicator light, or the like of an electronic device (not shown). In the present embodiment, the accessory component 30 is a menu button of an electronic device.

The assembly tool 20 includes a V-shaped clamping arm 21, two fixing members 23 and two positioning posts 25. The two fixing members 23 are respectively fixed to the two end portions of the V-shaped clamping arms 21. The two positioning posts 25 are detachably disposed on the two fixing members 23 and disposed on the outer side of the V-shaped clamping arms 21.

In the present embodiment, the lengths of the two arms of the V-shaped clamp arm 21 are equal. The V-shaped clamp arm 21 can be made of an elastic material such as elastic steel or elastic plastic.

Each of the fixing members 23 includes a resisting portion 231 and a connecting portion 232 connected to the resisting portion 231 . A step 235 is formed at a position where the abutting portion 231 is connected to the connecting portion 232, and an end portion of the V-shaped arm 21 is fixed to the step 235. The free end of the abutting portion 231 is formed with a resisting surface 2311, and a fixing hole 2312 is defined in the resisting inclined surface 2311, and the positioning post 25 is fixed in the fixing hole 2312.

The shape of the positioning post 25 can be designed as desired, and can be cylindrical, conical, spherical, ellipsoidal, and the like. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the positioning post 25 is cylindrical.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, the assembly tool 20 is used to mount the accessory component 30 on the housing 10 of an electronic device (not shown).

The housing 10 includes a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12. The front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 13 for receiving other electronic components (not shown) of the electronic device. The front cover 11 is provided with a mounting hole 112 for mounting the accessory component 30.

The accessory component 30 includes a body 31 and two pivotal connections 32. The two rotation connecting portions 32 are fixed to one side of the body 31. A shaft hole 321 is defined in each of the rotation connecting portions 32. The shaft hole 321 is circular, and the shape of the positioning post 25 matches the shape of the shaft hole 321 .

When the attachment member 30 is attached, the V-shaped clamp arm 21 is pressed to reduce the V-shaped angle of the V-shaped clamp arm 21, thereby reducing the distance between the two positioning posts 25. Then, the two positioning posts 25 are respectively received in the shaft holes 321 of the two rotation connecting portions 32 of the accessory component 30, and the abutting slope 2311 of the abutting portion 231 abuts against the body of the accessory component 30. When the V-shaped clamp arm 21 is released, the V-shaped clamp arm 21 is deformed to deform, so that the positioning post 25 firmly holds the attachment member 30. Next, the assembly tool 20 is inserted into the housing cavity 13 of the housing 10, and the accessory component 30 is mounted in the mounting hole 112 of the housing 10. Finally, the V-shaped clamp arm 21 is pressed again to reduce the V-shaped angle of the V-shaped clamp arm 21, so that the positioning post 25 is pivoted from the auxiliary component 30. Falling inside.

The V-shaped angle of the V-shaped clamp arm 21 of the assembly tool 20 can be reduced, so that the positioning post 25 is received in the shaft hole 321 (ie, the mounting hole) of the accessory component 30 or from the shaft hole 321 of the accessory component 30 (ie, the mounting The hole is removed in the hole, thereby facilitating the attachment of the accessory component 30 in the smaller internal space of the housing 10.

Referring to FIG. 5, the assembly tool 40 of the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the assembly tool 20 of the first embodiment, except that each arm of the V-shaped clamp arm 41 is sleeved with a sleeve 42 and a sleeve. 42 is provided with an adjusting screw 46, and both positioning posts 45 are fixed to the inner side of the sleeve 42 by elastic members 44. For the different accessory components 30, the position of the positioning post 45 on the arms of the V-clamp arm 41 can be adjusted by the sleeve 42. An adjustment screw 46 is used to secure the sleeve 42 to the arm of the V-clamp arm 41. The elastic member 44 is elastically deformed to rotate the positioning post 45 to the left and right, so that the positioning post 45 is received in the mounting hole of the attachment member 30 at different angles. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 44 is made of elastic rubber, the sleeve 42 is made of hard plastic, and the elastic member 44 and the sleeve 42 are integrally formed by two-shot molding. The two arms are not limited to being formed as a V-shaped clamp arm, and may also be an "X" shaped clamp arm.

It can be understood that the fixing member 23 can also be omitted. At this time, the positioning post 25 is directly fixed to the arm of the V-shaped clamping arm 21. A sleeve 42 is sleeved on one of the arms of the V-shaped clamp arm 41.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent, and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art will be included in the following claims.
