Electronic device assembly system and method

Provided is an assembly system for assembling a double-side adhesive onto an electronic device. The assembly system includes a supporting portion and a pushing portion. The supporting portion includes a supporting surface. The supporting surface defines a cavity for receiving the electronic device. The pushing portion is supported on the supporting surface, and includes a pushing surface opposite to the supporting surface. A projection perpendicularly extends downward from the pushing surface. An elastic member is positioned on the projection. The distance between the supporting surface and the pushing surface equals to an elastic deformation value of the elastic member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the supporting surface.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to assemblies and, particularly, to an electronic device assembly system and an electronic device assembly method.

2. Description of Related Art

The developed trends for electronic devices such as LCDs, and desktops: small size, light weight, and easy assembly and disassembly. However, current assembly of displays of electronic devices typically use threaded fasteners. However, screwing and unscrewing the threaded fasteners is inconvenient.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an electronic device assembly system and an electronic device assembly method which can overcome the above-mentioned limitations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1illustrates an assembly system100for assembling a double-side adhesive200onto an electronic device300, according to an exemplary embodiment. In the embodiment, the electronic device300is a backlight module. The electronic device300includes a frame310, a reflective plate320, a backlight plate330, and a diaphragm340.

The assembly system100includes a supporting portion110and a pushing portion120.

The supporting portion110includes a supporting surface111. The supporting surface111defines a cavity112at its center. The cavity112is configured for receiving the electronic device300. In the embodiment, a depth of the cavity112is larger than a height of the electronic device300in a direction of substantially perpendicular to the supporting surface111.

The pushing portion120is supported on the supporting surface111for pushing the double-side adhesive200onto the electronic device300. The pushing portion120includes a pushing surface121opposite to the supporting surface111and a top surface122away from the pushing surface121. A projection123perpendicularly extends downward from the pushing surface121. The projection123spatially corresponds to the cavity112. An elastic member124is positioned on a periphery of the projection123. In the embodiment, the elastic member124is made of rubber. A handle122ais integrally formed with and perpendicularly extends upward from the top surface122of the pushing portion120. In the embodiment, the handle122ais positioned at center of the top surface122. In other embodiments, the handle122aand the pushing portion120can be separately formed. The handle122acan be attached to the top surface122by adhesive, welding (e.g., plastic welding), or other attaching methods.

The double-side adhesive200is sandwiched between the elastic member124and the electronic device300. In particular, the double-side adhesive200is pushed on the frame310by the assembly system100. In the embodiment, the distance between the supporting surface111and the pushing surface121is H, which equals to an elastic deformation value of the elastic member124in a direction substantially perpendicular to the supporting surface111. As such, in the process of pushing of the pushing portion120, as long as the pushing surface121is pressed to contact with the supporting surface111, this can be guaranteed that the maximum distance of the pushing surface121being capable of moving equal to the elastic deformation value of the elastic member124.

FIG. 2shows a flowchart of a method for assembling the double-side adhesive200onto the electronic device300, according to another exemplary embodiment. The method includes the following steps S10-S18.

In step S10: positioning the electronic device300into the cavity112;

In step S12: coating the double-side adhesive200on the electronic device300;

In step S14: positioning the pushing portion120onto the supporting portion110, with the projection123being receiving in the cavity112, and the double-side adhesive200being sandwiched between the frame310of the electronic device300and the elastic member124.

In step S16: pushing the pushing portion120to make the pushing surface121contact with the supporting surface111through the handle124;

In step S18: picking up the pushing portion120through the handle124, and taking out the electronic device300.
