DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pin insertion tool suitable for use in connecting a printed board and a card ejector, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this kind of pin insertion tool is disclosed as a "spring pin insertion tool" in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 61-14076, for example, and is configured as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). ing. This will be described with reference to the same drawing. In the same drawing, a spring pin insertion tool indicated by reference numeral 1 includes upper and lower two levers 2 and 3, a pilot pin 4 and a guide pin 5.

The upper and lower levers 2 and 3 are close to each other.
They move forward and backward in the direction in which they are separated, and are urged by compression springs 6 in the direction in which they are separated from each other. The movement of the upper and lower levers 2 and 3 is restricted by a stopper pin 7.

The pilot pin 4 is held by the upper lever 2 so as to be able to advance and retreat, and is urged downward by a compression spring 8. In addition, a flange 4 a for preventing the pilot pin 4 from dropping from the upper lever 2 is provided integrally with the upper end of the pilot pin 4. A spring pin 11 for connecting a printed board 9 having a pin press-in hole 9a and a card ejector 10 having a pin insertion hole 10a is inserted and held in the pilot pin 4.

The guide pin 5 has a flange 5a at the lower end.
And is disposed on the axis of the pilot pin 4 and is fixed to the lower lever 3. A spring pin 11 is fitted and held on the guide pin 5 when the printed board 9 and the card ejector 10 are connected.

In order to connect the printed board 9 and the card ejector 10 by using the pin insertion tool having the above-described configuration, the upper and lower levers 2 and 3 print the guide pins 5 at the positions shown in FIG. The spring pin 11 is inserted and held in the pilot pin 4 while being made to face the pin press-in hole 9a of the substrate 9 and the pin insertion hole 10a of the card ejector 10, and is driven by driving means (not shown) as shown in FIG. This is performed by bringing the upper and lower levers 2 and 3 closer to each other.

That is, when the upper and lower levers 2 and 3 move toward each other against the resilience of the compression spring 6, the distal end surface of the pilot pin 4 comes into contact with the distal end surface of the guide pin 5, and the upper and lower levers further move. When the pilot pins 2 and 3 move in the same direction, the pilot pin 4 retreats against the resilience of the compression spring 8, and the upper lever 2 moves the spring pin 11 on the pilot pin 4 in the direction opposite to the retraction direction of the pilot pin 4. And then transferred to the guide pin 5.

At this time, the spring pin 11 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 11a of the card ejector 11, and is pressed into the pin press-in hole 9a of the printed board 9, so that the printed board 9 and the card ejector 10 are connected. .

[0009]

By the way, in the conventional pin insertion tool, when the printed board 9 and the card ejector 10 are connected (when the pins are inserted), the printed board 9 and the card ejector 10 as the pin receiving objects are positioned. It is not equipped with a function to perform pin insertion, and therefore requires pin insertion work while holding the pin insertion object by the operator,
There has been a problem that workability and productivity in pin insertion are reduced.

Further, since the spring pin 11 is guided along the outer peripheral surface of the guide pin 5 when the pin is inserted, when the spring pin 11 having a small diameter is used as the insertion pin, the guide pin 5 having an extremely small outer diameter is used. It is necessary to prepare the guide pin 5, and there is a problem that the guide pin 5 is easily broken and the reliability in quality is reduced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pin insertion tool capable of improving workability and productivity in pin insertion and improving reliability in quality. It is assumed that.

The operating rod 24 is urged upward by a compression spring 37. The compression spring 37 is elastically mounted on the end surface of the flange 24 a and the opening edge of the through hole 26.

The screw hole 24c of the operating rod 24 has a pin
And the pin insertion hole 33 of the card ejector 33
A pressing pin 38 into which the spring pin 36 can be inserted is screwed into a.

The pressing pin 38 is disposed on the axis of the positioning pin 23 and is inserted through the recess 24b. The pressing pin 38 is integrally provided with a flange 38a which faces the recess 24b and serves as a spring receiver.

When the spring pin 36 is pressed into the pin press-in hole 32a by the pressing pin 38 and is inserted into the pin insertion hole 33a, the printed circuit board 32 and the card ejector 33 are connected.

The pin holder 25 is held movably forward and backward with a part of the pin rod 25 facing the recess 24b.

That is, the spring pin 36 is
5a, the printed board 32 and the card ejector 33 are positioned by the positioning pins 23, and then the operating rod 24 is moved downward against the resilience of the compression spring 37 to move the operating rod 24. With the operation, the pressing pin 38 and the pin holder 25 move in the same direction. When the pin holder 25 comes into contact with the card ejector 33 on the bush 30 due to the downward movement of the operation rod 24, the pin holder 25 moves upward against the resilience of the compression spring 40, and is pressed by the movement of the pin holder 25. The pin 38 presses the spring pin 36 in the direction of press-fitting into the pin press-fitting hole 32a (the direction of inserting it into the pin insertion hole 33a).

At this time, the positioning pin 23 in the pin insertion hole 33a (the pin press-in hole 32a) is pressed against the resilience of the compression spring 34 so that the pin insertion hole 33a (the pin press-in hole 32a).
To move down and out of contact with the stopper screw 31,
The spring pin 36 in the through-hole 25a is pushed out of the through-hole 25a, is inserted into the pin insertion hole 33a, and is pressed into the pin press-in hole 32a.
And the card ejector 33 are connected.

In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 32 has a pin press-in hole 32a as a pin insertion object, and the card ejector 33 has a pin insertion hole 33a.
Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, it is constituted by a plate 51 having a pin press-in hole 51a as a pin insertion object and inserted. Even if it is constituted by the support 52 having the screw hole 52a as a pin, there is no problem at all.

In this case, the support 5 from the plate 51
The height position setting of the stopper screw 31 is performed in place of the usual technique in which a stepped support 62 having a screw hole 62a is screwed to a plate 61 as shown in FIG.
Can be adjusted by adjusting the height position.

[0041]

As described above, according to the present invention, a positioning pin which is held by the base so as to be able to move forward and backward to position the pin insertion object, is disposed on the axis of the positioning pin, and is capable of moving forward and backward to the base. An operation rod having a pressing pin capable of pressing and inserting the insertion pin into the pin insertion object held by the pin, and a pin holder having a through hole for holding the insertion pin which is held by the operation rod so as to be able to move forward and backward to guide the pressing pin; With
Since each of the pin holder and the positioning pin is urged in a direction approaching each other by a spring,
Pressing and inserting the insertion pin into the pin insertion object positions the pin insertion object on the base with the positioning pin, holds the insertion pin in the through hole of the pin holder, and moves the pressing pin by moving the operation rod. This is performed by pressing the insertion pin in the through hole in the direction in which the positioning pin moves backward.

Therefore, it is not necessary to insert the pin while holding the object to be inserted as in the prior art, so that the work efficiency and productivity in inserting the pin can be improved.

Further, since the insertion pin can be guided along the inner peripheral surface of the through hole in the pin holder when the pin is inserted, breakage of the components can be prevented even when a small-diameter insertion pin is used. Also, the reliability in quality can be improved.
