Abstract

An embodiment mounting and demounting device for a wireless electronic device includes a pair of holder wings arranged symmetrically to each other and configured to press both sides of the wireless electronic device, a holder wing adjusting device configured to apply a force to adjust a gap between the holder wings using a driving force of a drive motor, a lifting implementing device configured to interlock with the holder wing adjusting device to lift the wireless electronic device upward in a case in which the holder wings are spread apart by a predetermined reference gap or more, a lower housing wrapped around a lower side of the holder wings, the holder wing adjusting device, and the lifting implementing device, and an upper housing coupled to an upper side of the lower housing and configured to allow the wireless electronic device to pass through in an up and down direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mounting and demounting device for a wireless electronic device, the mounting and demounting device comprising:
a pair of holder wings arranged symmetrically to each other and configured to press both sides of the wireless electronic device; a holder wing adjusting device configured to apply a force to adjust a gap between the holder wings using a driving force of a drive motor; a lifting implementing device configured to receive a part of a driving force transmitted from the drive motor to the holder wing adjusting device and to lift the wireless electronic device upward in a case in which the holder wings are spread apart by a predetermined reference gap or more, the predetermined reference gap being defined based on a size of the wireless electronic device to be mounted; a lower housing wrapped around a lower side of the holder wings, the holder wing adjusting device, and the lifting implementing device; and an upper housing coupled to an upper side of the lower housing and configured to allow the wireless electronic device to pass through in an up and down direction.

2 . A mounting and demounting device for a wireless electronic device, the mounting and demounting device comprising:
a pair of holder wings arranged symmetrically to each other and configured to press both sides of the wireless electronic device; a holder wing adjusting device configured to apply a force to adjust a gap between the holder wings using a driving force of a drive motor, wherein the holder wing adjusting device is configured to manually spread the holder wings apart by means of a freewheel pinion and a drive rack without requiring rotation of the drive motor; a lifting implementing device configured to receive a part of a driving force transmitted from the drive motor to the holder wing adjusting device and to lift the wireless electronic device upward in a case in which the holder wings are spread apart by a predetermined reference gap or more, the predetermined reference gap being defined based on a size of the wireless electronic device to be mounted; a lower housing wrapped around a lower side of the holder wings, the holder wing adjusting device, and the lifting implementing device; and an upper housing coupled to an upper side of the lower housing and configured to allow the wireless electronic device to pass through in an up and down direction.

3 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 2 , wherein the holder wing adjusting device comprises:
a holding spring configured to apply an elastic force in a direction in which the gap between the holder wings narrows; the freewheel pinion, which is engaged in common with a pair of rack portions of the holder wings facing each other in parallel and rotatable around a gear shaft; a drive pinion arranged to be concentric with the freewheel pinion; a first gear train comprising one or more gears for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor to the drive pinion; and the drive rack, which is engaged with the drive pinion and press locking jaws provided in the holder wings using a force provided by the drive pinion such that the holder wings overcome the elastic force of the holding spring and spread apart from each other.

4 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 1 , wherein the holder wing adjusting device comprises:
a first gear train consisting of one or more gears for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor; and a drive pinion engaging in common with a pair of rack portions facing each other in parallel in the pair of holder wings and rotating by the driving force transmitted through the first gear train so that the rack portions move linearly in opposite directions.

5 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 4 , further comprising an additional holding spring configured to apply an elastic force in a direction in which the gap between the holder wings narrows.

6 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 1 , wherein the lifting implementing device comprises:
a lifter configured to move up and down with respect to the lower housing; a lifting spring elastically supporting the lifter in a descending direction toward the lower housing; a carrier having an inclined surface that enters between the lifter and the lower housing allowing the lifter to overcome an elastic force of the lifting spring and to ascend; a carrier link configured to transmit a force to enter or retract the carrier between the lifter and the lower housing; a drive link connected to the carrier link; a link gear configured to rotate the drive link; and a second gear train comprising one or more second gears configured to transmit the driving force of the drive motor from a drive pinion that receives the driving force through a first gear train of the holder wing adjusting device to the link gear, wherein the first gear train comprises one or more first gears for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor to the drive pinion.

7 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 6 , wherein:
a guide pin rotatably connecting the carrier and the carrier link is insertable into a pin guide groove provided in the lower housing and movable along the pin guide groove; and the pin guide groove has a length sufficient for the inclined surface of the carrier to lift the lifter upward when the pair of holder wings is spread apart by the predetermined reference gap or more.

8 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 6 , wherein:
a lifter bracket is installed in the lower housing; the lifter is bound by the lifter bracket to move up and down; and the lifting spring is installed between the lifter bracket and the lifter.

9 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 6 , wherein:
an upper end of the lifter is provided with a push block configured to push the wireless electronic device upward; and a lower side of the lifter is provided with rollers or ball bearings to reduce a frictional force generated between the lifter and the inclined surface of the carrier.

10 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 6 , further comprising a contact housing provided between the lower housing and upper housing and configured to support a lower side of the wireless electronic device inserted through the upper housing, wherein:
the contact housing comprises a lifter through-hole for the lifter to pass through and move up and down; and holder grooves are provided on both sides of the contact housing to allow holding portions of the holder wings to move in an upwardly protruding state to hold both sides of the wireless electronic device placed on the contact housing.

11 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 10 , wherein:
the upper housing comprises recessed holder compartments configured to receive the holding portions of the holder wings; and a shielding mechanism is provided between the upper housing and the holding portions of the holder wings to cover a gap generated between the upper housing and the holding portions when the holding portions move in directions that bring the holding portions closer to each other.

12 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 11 , wherein:
the shielding mechanism is rotatably connected to the upper housing at a first end and holding portions of the holder wings at a second end; and a plurality of hinge blocks and hinge bridges are connected to a plurality of free hinge pins between the first end and the second end of the shielding mechanism.

13 . The mounting and demounting device of claim 10 , wherein:
the drive motor, the first gear train, and the second gear train are accommodated in a space
