The soldering component 1 has a weldable surface 14 adapted to be soldered to the object 2 (the object 2 is a printed circuit board).

According to the present disclosure, the engaging portion 13 has elastic retraction space 132 (shown in FIG. 1 through FIG. 5), and the elastic retraction space 132 enables elastic retraction of two or more engagement portions 131, allowing the engagement portions 131 to engage with another object 6 (shown in FIG. 9).

Furthermore, the engaging portion 13 is of a greater outer diameter than another object 6; thus, an applied force can be exerted downward or upward on the engaging portion 13, such that the engaging portion 13 is compressed to become smaller, and then the engaging portion 13 restores to its original size, allowing the engagement portions 131 to engage with another object 6.

According to the present disclosure, the soldering component 1 is disposed in a carrier 3 (or disposed in the carrier 3 beforehand), taken out of the carrier 3 with a tool 4, compared with the object 2 by a comparison device 5 to determine a fitting position on the object 2, and positioned at the fitting position with the tool 4, allowing the soldering component 1 to be fitted to the object 2 (shown in FIG. 8).

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the soldering component 1 has been taken out with the tool 4 through the intervening member 17 and positioned at the fitting position on the object 2 to undergo soldering, the intervening member 17 is removed, such that the soldering component 1 is engaged with the another object 6 through the engaging portion 13. Therefore, the present disclosure meets application needs.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intervening member 17 is a sheet member (shown in FIG. 16) or engaging member (shown in FIG. 17). Therefore, the present disclosure meets application needs.

Referring to FIG. 18, this embodiment is different from the preceding embodiments in that the soldering component 1 is removed from the fitting portion 12 with the tool 4, positioned at the fitting position on the object 1 and the weldable surface 14, 21 adapted to be heated up for soldering the soldering component 1 and the object 2 together, such that the soldering component 1 is fitted to the object 2.

After the engaging portion 13 has been penetratingly mounted on the anchored portion 24, the fitting portion 12 is fitted to the object 2. Therefore, the present disclosure meets application needs.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a limiting portion 111 of the body 11 is of a lesser width than the anchored portion 24 of the object 2 and a greater width than the engaging portion 13 and thus is penetratingly mounted on the anchored portion 24 to spatially and positionally limit the anchored portion 24. Therefore, the present disclosure meets application needs.

Referring to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, this embodiment is different from the preceding embodiments in that the body has an elastic component 18 vertically or transversely abutting against the engaging portion 13 and adapted to provide reciprocating elasticity upon engagement with or disengagement from the another object (not shown) through the engaging portion 13.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the soldering component 1 is pressed downward elastically with the tool 4.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the tool 4 is a clamping tool, engaging tool, an evacuation device, a magnetic attraction device or an elastic motion component.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the tool 4 has an elastic sensor 41. After the tool 4 has moved the soldering component 1 to a mounting position on the object 2, the elastic sensor 41 of the tool 4 senses a feedback message about the soldering component 1 having come into contact with the object 2. Then, the tool 4 releases or loosens the soldering component 1, such that the soldering component 1 is positioned at the mounting position of the object 2. Therefore, the present disclosure meets application needs.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after coming into contact with the object 2, the soldering component 1 becomes electrically conducting, such that the elastic sensor 41 senses the electrical conduction taking place at the soldering component 1 and thus generates a feedback message. In response to the feedback message, the tool 4 releases or loosens the soldering component 1.

Referring to FIG. 31, in a method of fitting the soldering component 1 to boards according to the present disclosure, the soldering component 1 is taken out with the tool 4, moved to a mounting position on the object 2 with the tool 4, and pressed downward onto the object 2 with the tool 4. Finally, the tool 4 releases or loosens the soldering component 1. Therefore, the soldering component 1 is positioned at the mounting position on the object 2, thereby meeting fitting needs.

Furthermore, in a method of fitting the soldering component 1 to boards according to the present disclosure, during the operation process, the elastic component 42 in the tool 4 and the evacuation capability of the tool 4 together enable the tool 4 to take out the soldering component 1, move the soldering component 1 to the mounting position on the object 2, elastically press the soldering component 1 downward onto to the object 2, and thus compress the elastic component 42. After that, evacuation stops, and the elastic component 42 returns to its initial position, such that the tool 4 releases or loosens the soldering component 1, and the soldering component 1 is positioned at the mounting position on the object 2, thereby meeting fitting needs.

Referring to FIG. 32 through FIG. 34, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the engaging portion 13 of the soldering component 1 is an inner threaded member (see a of FIG. 32), inner hole member (see b of FIG. 32), lateral engaging member (see a, b of FIG. 33) or engaging member (see a, b of FIG. 34) movably fitted to the body 11. Furthermore, the body 11 and the engaging portion 13 are self-contained and are movably fitted together (see a, b of FIG. 34).

Referring to FIG. 35 through FIG. 38, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the soldering component 1 is soldered to an object 2 (as shown in FIG. 35 and FIG. 36) and thereby engaged with another object 7 (as shown in FIG. 37 and FIG. 38). As a result, as shown in FIG. 35 and FIG. 36, the another object 7 can have a joint portion 71 which matches the engaging portion 13 and neck, such that the body 11 is penetratingly disposed at the joint portion 71, whereas the engaging portion 13 is joined to the joint portion 71. Referring to FIG. 35 and FIG. 36, the joint portion 71 has a through hole 711 of a greater diameter than the engaging portion 13 and an engaging slot 712 which is in communication with the through hole 711 and is of a lesser width than the engaging portion 13. Thus, the engaging portion 13 passes through the through hole 711 and then moves another object 7, such that the body 11 is penetratingly disposed at the engaging slot 712 to engage with another object 7. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 37 and FIG. 38, the joint portion 71 has a through hole 711 of a greater diameter than the engaging portion 13, an engaging hole 713 of a lesser diameter than the engaging portion 13, and an engaging slot 712 which is in communication with the through hole 711 and the engaging hole 713 and of a lesser width than the engaging portion 13. Thus, the engaging portion 13 passes through the through hole 711 and then moves another object 7, such that the body 11 is penetratingly disposed at the engaging slot 712 or the engaging hole 713 to thereby engage with another object 7 and allow another object 7 to reversely separate from the soldering component 1.

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.
