Abstract
A method of fitting a fastener to an object is introduced. The fastener has a weldable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or one end of the engaging portion has a holding portion. During a welding heating process, solder flows into or enters the holding portion and then cools down and solidifies therein so as to be held therein. Therefore, the weldable surface and the holding portion together enable the fastener to be firmly coupled to an object. The engaging portion and the hole portion together enable an object to be coupled to or removed from another object, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly.

One end of thehole portion 13 or one end of the engagingportion 12 has a holdingportion 14. During a welding heating process, molten solder flows into the holdingportion 14. Then, the solder in the holdingportion 14 cools and thus turns into solid-state solder 7 so as to be held in the holdingportion 14. - The fitting process begins by welding the
fastener 1 to afirst object 2. Thefirst object 2 has a correspondingweldable surface 21. During the heating process, the solder between theweldable surface 11 and the correspondingweldable surface 21 turns into liquid state, such that the liquid-state solder flows into the holdingportion 14. Then, the liquid-state solder in the holdingportion 14 cools and thus turns into the solid-state solder 7 so as to be held in the holdingportion 14. After that, the engagingportion 12 or thehole portion 13 engages with asecond object 3, or the engagingportion 12 and thehole portion 13 are engaged to thesecond object 3. Thus, with the holdingportion 14 being adapted to receive the liquid-state solder and then hold the solid-state solder 7, the liquid-state solder does not flow into thehole portion 13 or the engagingportion 12, cool and solidify. Thus, the solidified solder is unlikely to fall off, because it is impossible for interference or impacts to happen when thesecond object 3 engages with or enters thehole portion 13 or theeng aging portion 12. Therefore, theweldable surface 11 and the holdingportion 14 together enable thefastener 1 to be firmly coupled to thefirst object 2, whereas the engagingportion 12 and thehole portion 13 together enable thefirst object 2 to be coupled to or removed from thesecond object 3, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly. - In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the
fastener 1 has a joiningportion 15. The joiningportion 15 has aweldable surface 11. The joiningportion 15 and theweldable surface 11 together enable thefastener 1 to be welded to thefirst object 2.

Thefastener 1 is taken out of thecarrier 4 with atool 5, and then a comparison device 6 compares thefastener 1 with the correspondingweldable surface 21 at the fitting position 20 of thefirst object 2 in terms of position or distance. Thus, thetool 5 moves thefastener 1 to a predetermined height a (from 0.000001 mm to 10 mm) above the correspondingweldable surface 21 of thefirst object 2 according to the comparison message of the comparison device 6 and then releases or loosens its grip on thefastener 1, such that thefastener 1 descends and lands on the correspondingweldable surface 21 at the fitting position 20 of thefirst object 2. After that, theweldable surface 11 of thefastener 1 and the correspondingweldable surface 21 of thefirst object 2 are heated up and welded together, allowing thefastener 1 to be welded to thefirst object 2. Thefirst object 2 is a PCB, and a penetratinghole 22 is disposed at the fitting position of thefirst object 2. Thefastener 1 is disposed in the penetratinghole 22. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method comprises the steps of: providing a comparison device 6 for comparing the
fastener 1 with thefirst object 2 in terms of its fitting position or fitting distance after thetool 5 has gripped thefastener 1; moving thefastener 1 to the predetermined height a above the fitting position of the object with thetool 5 according to a comparison message of the comparison device 6; and causing thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1, such that thefastener 1 descends and lands on the fitting position of thefirst object 2. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method comprises the steps of: providing, after the
tool 5 has gripped thefastener 1, a comparison device 6 for comparing thefastener 1 with a correspondingweldable surface 21 at the fitting position of thefirst object 2 in terms of position or distance; moving thefastener 1 to the predetermined height a above the correspondingweldable surface 21 of thefirst object 2 with thetool 5 according to a comparison message of the comparison device 6; and causing thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1, such that thefastener 1 descends and lands on the correspondingweldable surface 21 of thefirst object 2. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the

- Referring to
FIG. 24 , in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure further provides a method of fitting afastener 1 to an object. Thefastener 1 has aweldable surface 11, an engagingportion 12 and ahole portion 13. The method comprises the steps of: providing atool 5 for gripping thefastener 1; moving thefastener 1 to a fitting position of thefirst object 2 with thetool 5; and causing thetool 5 to sense a feedback message indicative of thefastener 1 having come into contact with thefirst object 2 and then release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1, such that thefastener 1 is positioned at the fitting position of thefirst object 2, thereby allowing thefastener 1 to be welded to theweldable surface 21 of thefirst object 2. - The
tool 5 has a sensing member 51 (for example, a resilient sensing member). After thetool 5 has moved thefastener 1 to the fitting position of thefirst object 2 and the sensingmember 51 of thetool 5 has sensed a feedback message indicative of thefastener 1 having come into contact with thefirst object 2, thetool 5 releases or loosens its grip on thefastener 1, such that thefastener 1 is positioned at the fitting position of thefirst object 2, thereby allowing the present disclosure to meet practical fitting-related needs. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the
fastener 1 has come into contact with thefirst object 2, electrical conduction therebetween comes into play. The sensingmember 51 senses the electrical conduction and thus generates a feedback message. The feedback message causes thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the
fastener 1 is fitted to thefirst object 2 as described above, the joiningportion 15 has a stoppingelement 8. The stoppingelement 8 stops the liquid-state solder on theweldable surface 21 from entering or flowing into the engaging portion 12 (or the hole portion 13). After the solder has cooled down to thereby fit thefastener 1 to thefirst object 2 firmly, the stoppingelement 8 is removed from the joiningportion 15 with atool 9 to thereby restore the joining function of the engaging portion 12 (or the hole portion 13). - Regarding the method of fitting the
fastener 1 to an object according to the present disclosure, thetool 5 grips thefastener 1, such that thetool 5 moves thefastener 1 to the fitting position of thefirst object 2, and thetool 5 presses thefastener 1 downward against thefirst object 2, thereby allowing thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1. Thus, thefastener 1 is positioned at the fitting position of thefirst object 2, thereby allowing the present disclosure to meet practical fitting-related needs. - Regarding the method of fitting the
fastener 1 to an object according to the present disclosure, thetool 5 grips thefastener 1, such that thetool 5 moves thefastener 1 to a fitting position of thefirst object 2 and presses resiliently thefastener 1 downward against thefirst object 2, thereby causing thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1. Thus, thefastener 1 is positioned at the fitting position of thefirst object 2, thereby allowing the present disclosure to meet practical fitting-related needs. - Referring to
FIG. 25 , in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, aresilient component 52 disposed in thetool 5 enables thetool 5 to grip thefastener 1 under the evacuating force of thetool 5. Thus, thetool 5 moves thefastener 1 to the fitting position of thefirst object 2, resiliently presses thefastener 1 downward against thefirst object 2, and compresses theresilient component 52 to therefore terminate the evacuating force and restore theresilient component 52 to its initial position, thereby allowing thetool 5 to release or loosen its grip on thefastener 1 and allowing thefastener 1 to be positioned at the fitting position of thefirst object 2. After the solder on theweldable surface 21 has cooled down and fitted thefastener 1 to thefirst object 2 firmly, removal of the stoppingelement 8 allows the joining function of the engaging portion 12 (or the hole portion 13) to restore, thereby allowing the present disclosure to meet practical fitting-related needs. - Referring to
FIG. 26 , in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, there is a cooled-and-solidified solder layer (i.e., the cooled weldable surface 21) between the joiningportion 15 and the penetratinghole 22 of thefirst object 2 or between thefastener 1 and thefirst object 2. The joiningportion 15 of thefastener 1 has a rotation-preventingportion 151. Thefirst object 2 has a corresponding rotation-preventingportion 24. The rotation-preventingportion 151 prevents the rotation of the corresponding rotation-preventingportion 24 and vice versa. Between the rotation-preventingportion 151 and the corresponding rotation-preventingportion 24 is a solder layer (i.e., the cooled weldable surface 21) conducive to enhancement of the strength of the bonding between thefastener 1 and thefirst object 2, such that thefastener 1 is joined to thefirst object 2 firmly. - Referring to
FIG. 27 , the joiningportion 15 is joined to acorresponding tightening element 17. The corresponding tighteningelement 17 is coupled to the engaging portion 12 (or the hole portion 13) to clamp thefirst object 2 and thus enhance the strength of the bonding between thefastener 1 and theobject 2, such that thefastener 1 is fitted to thefirst object 2 firmly. - While the present disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure set forth in the claims.
