[0002] As an indispensable component in modern electronic devices, the function and performance of electrical connectors directly affect the stability and reliability of the entire system. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the demand for electrical connectors continues to grow, and at the same time, the requirements for their shape and function are becoming increasingly diverse. In particular, the emergence of special-shaped electrical connectors has further enriched the application scenarios and provided more possibilities for signal transmission in complex environments. These electrical connectors can be quickly assembled or damaged parts replaced by splicing standard interfaces, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of use, and becoming popular products in the market.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to meet the production requirements of special-shaped electrical connectors, a dedicated production line is usually used to manufacture individual connectors. However, in the splicing link, due to the lack of an efficient automated solution, the industry generally uses manual methods for splicing operations. Common methods include manual alignment, manual crimping, and simple fixture assistance. Although these methods can achieve basic splicing functions, they have obvious limitations. Some enterprises have also tried to introduce semi-automated splicing equipment, such as preliminary positioning with pneumatic grippers, but the overall process still relies on manual intervention to ensure accuracy and quality.

[0004] The core defect of the above methods is that seamless connection between the production and splicing links cannot be achieved, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity. Especially in the face of large-scale production requirements, the speed and consistency of manual splicing are difficult to meet the requirements, becoming the key bottleneck restricting the improvement of the production capacity of electrical connectors. Therefore, how to achieve efficient and stable automated splicing has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an electrical connector production device.

The specific effects include: improving action synchronization, ensuring splicing accuracy, and reducing manual intervention.

[0017] Preferably, the second transfer assembly includes a screw module and a double-headed cylinder fixed on the mounting plate, and the output end of the double-headed cylinder is equipped with a second suction plate and a shift block, the shift block is configured as a square block, and the bottom of the shift block is flush with the bottom surface of the second suction cup.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second transfer component utilizes the lead screw module and the double-headed cylinder to achieve precise positioning and motion control.

The second suction cup can stably adsorb the connector to ensure its reliability during the transfer process; the push block is set as a square block and its bottom is flush with the bottom surface of the second suction cup, which can precisely push and adjust the connector during the splicing process to avoid position deviation, thereby improving the splicing accuracy and efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, the third transfer component includes a pressing cylinder and a translation cylinder. The pressing cylinder drives a pressing block, and the translation cylinder drives a clamping block. A clamping groove is formed on the clamping block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the third transfer component can achieve precise positioning and fixing of the connector. The pressing cylinder drives the pressing block to move to ensure the stability of the connector during the splicing process; the translation cylinder drives the clamping block with a clamping groove to act, and the clamping groove is used to precisely clamp the connector, thereby completing the splicing operation. This solution effectively improves the splicing efficiency and accuracy, reduces manual intervention, and enhances the overall production automation level.

[0021] Preferably, the elastic material feeding mechanism includes an elastic material feeding plate. The elastic material feeding plate is set as an L-shaped plate. A through groove is formed on the mounting plate to form a mounting groove. One end of the elastic material feeding plate is placed in the mounting groove, and the other end extends out of the mounting groove; a first spring groove and a second spring groove are formed along the inner wall of the mounting groove. A material discharging spring is arranged in the first spring groove. A through groove is formed on the side of the elastic material feeding plate close to the first spring groove to form a sliding groove, and a sliding shaft is arranged in the sliding groove. The material discharging spring is sleeved on the sliding shaft.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic material feeding mechanism can achieve automatic ejection and positioning of the connector. One end of the elastic material feeding plate is placed in the mounting groove, and the other end extends out of the mounting groove. This structural design enables the elastic material feeding plate to move stably in the mounting groove, and its L-shaped design can effectively prevent the elastic material feeding plate from coming out; the material discharging spring in the first spring groove is sleeved on the sliding shaft. Through the elastic force of the material discharging spring, the processed connector can be automatically ejected from the elastic material feeding plate, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency; the cooperation between the sliding groove and the sliding shaft further ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the elastic material feeding plate, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning of the connector during the splicing process.

[0023] Preferably, a vertical shaft is arranged in the second spring groove. One end of the vertical shaft is slidably connected to the elastic material feeding plate. An activity groove communicating with the second spring groove is further formed in the mounting plate. A slider is fixedly arranged at the end of the vertical shaft away from the elastic material feeding plate, and the slider is placed in the activity groove and abuts against the second spring.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical axis and the slider in the spring mechanism cooperate with the second spring to provide a stable reset force when the spring plate is working. One end of the vertical axis is slidably connected to the spring plate, ensuring that the spring plate can move in a predetermined direction when subjected to force. At the same time, the movable groove in the mounting plate provides a guide for the slider, making the elastic force transmission of the second spring more stable. This design effectively avoids the problem of position displacement or jamming of the spring plate after repeated use, thereby improving the reliability of the spring mechanism and ensuring the smooth progress of the connector production process.

[0025] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1.

Detailed implementation mode

[0028] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the description of the invention, it should be understood that for the orientation description, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a production device for an electrical connector. Refer to Figure 10 , which is used for processing and producing electrical connector components. The electrical connector components in the present application include a fixing part 81. On both sides of the fixing part 81, pins 82 are fixedly arranged. On the fixing part 81, a plurality of clamping parts 811 are also fixedly arranged. A clamping groove 812 is formed between the clamping parts 811.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 When processing the electrical connector 8, it is necessary to first stamp and bend the pins 82 of the electrical connector 8, and then splice two electrical connectors 8. The connector production device includes a mounting plate 6. On the mounting plate 6, a conveying mechanism for transporting the electrical connector 8 that has not been stamped and a stamping mechanism for bending the pins 82 are provided. The connector production device also includes a transfer mechanism and a blanking mechanism. The transfer mechanism cooperates with the blanking mechanism to splice and unload the connectors.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying table 11 and a second conveying table 12. The first conveying table 11 and the second conveying table 12 are perpendicular to each other in different planes, so that the first conveying table 11 and the second conveying table 12 are spatially staggered, aiming to enable two electrical connectors 8 to be spliced to converge. A plurality of transfer blocks 13 are provided on each of the first conveying table 11 and the second conveying table 12. The transfer blocks 13 are fixed on the conveyor belt and move with the conveyor belt. Grooves are formed on the transfer blocks 13 to form transfer grooves 131. The transfer grooves 131 are convenient for clamping the fixing part 81 of the electrical connector 8, so that the electrical connector 8 remains stable during transportation. The stamping mechanism is provided in two places corresponding to the first conveying table 11 and the second conveying table 12. The stamping mechanism includes a stamping block 211 for stamping and a crimping block 221 for pressing and fixing. The stamping mechanism further includes a stamping cylinder 21 for driving the stamping block 211 and a pressing cylinder 22 for driving the crimping block 221. The conveying table transports the electrical connector 8 located on the transfer block 13 to the lower part of the stamping mechanism. The pressing cylinder 22 first drives the crimping block 221 to press down to the top of the transfer block 13, and the electrical connector 8 is pressed by the crimping block 221 and the transfer block 13. Subsequently, the stamping cylinder 21 drives the stamping block 211 to press down to bend the pins 82.

[0033] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The transfer mechanism includes a first transfer assembly, a second transfer assembly and a third transfer assembly. The first transfer assembly is arranged at the end of the first transmission platform. The first transfer assembly includes a double eccentric wheel 31 and a double fork rod 32. The double fork rod 32 is scissor-shaped and has a roller 321 rotatably arranged at the end. The roller 321 rotates along the two contours of the double eccentric wheel 31 respectively. A swing arm 33 is fixedly arranged at one end of the double fork rod 32 away from the double eccentric wheel 31. A connecting rod 34 is rotatably arranged at one end of the swing arm 33 away from the double fork rod 32. The other end of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to a wedge-shaped swing arm 35. One end of the wedge-shaped swing arm 35 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 6 through a rotating shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to a slide rod 38. An adsorption rod 39 is fixedly arranged at the end of the slide rod 38. A first adsorption disk 391 is fixedly arranged on the adsorption rod 39. The double eccentric wheel 31 is formed by two identical eccentric wheels that are staggered and coaxially arranged. The drive motor 30 is connected through a drive shaft, and the drive motor 30 drives the coaxially arranged double eccentric wheels 31 to rotate synchronously. The roller 321 arranged at the end of the double fork rod 32 rotates synchronously with the double eccentric wheel 31 when it rotates, so that the roller 321 rolls along the contour of the double eccentric wheel 31, thereby forming a motion trajectory of the double fork rod 32 to swing up and down. Since the double fork rod 32 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 33, the double fork rod 32 will drive the swing arm 33 to swing. In the embodiment of the present application, the shaft used to fix the double fork rod 32 and the swing arm 33 is fixed by the same shaft, and the shaft is rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 6, and the shaft does not rotate relative to the double fork rod 32 and the swing arm 33. This arrangement can make the swing between the double fork rod 32 and the swing arm 33 more stable. When the swing arm 33 swings, it pulls the wedge-shaped swing arm 35 through the connecting rod 34. Due to the shape of the wedge-shaped swing arm 35, in the present application, the connecting rod 34 is connected to the protruding position in the middle of the wedge-shaped swing arm 35, so that the wedge-shaped swing arm 35 can be pulled and rotated along the rotating shaft. When the swing arm 33 rotates, it can pull the slide rod 38 to rotate, so that the first suction plate 391 can absorb and move the electrical connector 8 on the transfer block 13.

[0034] The first adsorption plate 391 is driven by the adsorption rod 39 to form an arc-shaped motion trajectory. In order to reduce the motion arc of the first adsorption plate 391, optimize the layout of the device, and reduce the motion interference of the first adsorption plate 391 as much as possible, the first transfer assembly also includes a slider rod 37 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 6 through a rotating shaft, and a slide groove 511 capable of sliding with the slider rod 37 is provided on the slide groove rod 38. This setting enables the slide groove rod 38 to generate a sliding distance relative to the slider rod 37 when rotating, so that the slide groove rod 38 extends, thereby making the moving distance of the first adsorption plate 391 longer and the rotation arc smaller.

[0035] Reference Figure 6, the first transfer component further includes a conductive swing rod 36. A conductive column 361 is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 6. One end of the conductive swing rod 36 is rotatably connected to the conductive column 361, and the other end is rotatably connected to an insulating handle 364. The end of the insulating handle 364 away from the conductive swing rod 36 is connected to the wedge-shaped swing arm 35 through a rotating shaft. A short contact point 362 that can abut against the conductive swing rod 36 is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 6. The short contact point 362 is electrically connected to a timing controller 363. Since the conductive swing rod 36 is connected to the wedge-shaped swing arm 35 through the insulating handle 364, the conductive swing rod 36 can swing following the wedge-shaped swing arm 35. This setting can improve the stability of the overall movement of the first transfer component. And during the swinging process of the conductive swing rod 36, it will abut against and be limited by the short contact point 362. The short contact point 362 is arranged at the end of the movement of the conductive swing rod 36, and when the conductive swing rod 36 moves to the end, it will contact the short contact point 362. When the short contact point 362, the conductive swing rod 36, and the conductive column 361 are connected, a short circuit will be formed for the driving motor 30, causing the driving motor 30 to stop running. Due to the setting of the timing controller 363, when the conductive swing rod 36 contacts the short contact point 362 and causes a short circuit to the driving motor 30, the timing controller 363 will automatically start timing and restart the driving motor 30 after the timing ends. The means for the timing controller 363 to restart the driving motor 30 is conventional. In this application, by making the short circuit formed between the short contact point 362, the conductive swing rod 36, and the conductive column 361 ineffective, the driving motor 30 can be restarted. Finally, the first transfer component forms an intermittent movement process.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8, the second transfer component includes a lead screw module 41 and a double-headed cylinder 42 fixed on the mounting plate 6. The output end of the double-headed cylinder 42 is equipped with a second suction cup 421 and a dial block 422. The dial block 422 is set as a square block, and the bottom surface of the dial block 422 is flush with the bottom surface of the second suction cup. In this application, both the first suction cup 391 and the second suction cup 421 form negative pressure by continuous suction, thereby generating suction force on the electrical connector 8. The purpose of this setting is to enable the first suction cup 391 and the second suction cup 421 to adsorb the pins 82 of the electrical connector 8. Since there are small gaps between multiple pins 82, vacuum adsorption may fail. By continuously pumping air to form suction force, the stability of transferring the electrical connector 8 can be improved. The third transfer component includes a pressing cylinder 44 and a translation cylinder 43. The pressing cylinder 44 drives a pressing block 441, and the translation cylinder 43 drives a clamping block 431. A clamping groove 432 is provided on the clamping block 431. The second transfer component is arranged at the end of the second transfer table 12. The double-headed cylinder 42 is driven by the lead screw module 41 to achieve horizontal movement. The second suction cup 421 adsorbs the electrical connector 8 transported by the second transfer table 12 and transfers it through the lead screw module 41. The double-headed cylinder 42 drives the second suction cup 421 to press down, realizing the pressing-down action of splicing the electrical connector 8.

[0037] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the blanking mechanism includes a blanking plate 51. The blanking plate 51 is set as an L-shaped plate. A through groove is provided on the mounting plate 6 to form a mounting groove 52. One end of the blanking plate 51 is placed in the mounting groove 52, and the other end extends out of the mounting groove 52. A first spring groove 512 and a second spring groove 532 are provided along the inner wall of the mounting groove 52. A material-return spring 513 is arranged in the first spring groove 512. A through groove is provided on one side of the blanking plate 51 close to the first spring groove 512 to form a sliding groove 511. A sliding shaft 514 is arranged in the sliding groove 511. The material-return spring 513 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 514. A vertical shaft 534 is arranged in the second spring groove 532. One end of the vertical shaft 534 is slidably connected to the blanking plate 51. An activity groove 53 communicating with the second spring groove 532 is further provided in the mounting plate 6. A slider 531 is fixedly arranged at the end of the vertical shaft 534 away from the blanking plate 51. The slider 531 is placed in the activity groove 53 and abuts against the 533 clamping spring.

[0038] Refer to Figure 6 , a receiving frame 7 for receiving materials is further arranged below the blanking plate 51.

[0039] The implementation principle of the embodiment of this application is as follows: Through the first transfer table 11 and the second transfer table 12, two separate electrical connectors 8 are transported respectively, and during the transportation process, the stamping mechanism is coordinated to bend the two electrical connectors 8 respectively, so that the pins 82 are bent into the required shape.

[0040] Action 1: The first transfer component transfers the electrical connector 8 conveyed on the first transfer table 11. Through the adsorption of the first suction cup 391 and in coordination with the movement track of the first transfer component, an electrical connector 8 is transported to the bottom of the elastic material plate 51 and stops under the action of the timing controller 363. At this time, the clamping groove 812 of the electrical connector 8 faces vertically downward.

[0041] Action 2: The translation cylinder 43 drives the engaging block 431 to move towards the direction of the first suction cup 391 and abuts against the electrical connector 8, so that the fixing part 81 is clamped in the clamping groove 432.

[0042] Action 3: The pressing cylinder 44 drives the pressing block 441 to press and fix from the top of the electrical connector 8. Subsequently, the timing controller 363 controls the driving motor 30 to restart, and the first suction cup 391 moves back towards the direction of the first transfer table 11.

[0043] At the beginning of Action 1, the second transfer component synchronously performs Action 4: The double-headed cylinder 42 drives the second suction cup 421 to move downward to adsorb an electrical connector 8 transported by the second transfer table 12, moves above the elastic material plate 51 under the drive of the lead screw module, and aligns the clamping groove 812 and the clamping part 811 vertically. The completion time of Action 4 cannot be later than the completion time of Action 3.

[0044] Action 5: The double-headed cylinder 42 simultaneously drives the second suction cup 421 and the dial block 422 to move downward, and presses the pin 82 part of the electrical connector 8 against the top surface of the elastic material plate 51. Under the pressure of the dial block 422, the electrical connector 8 is first pressed against the elastic material plate 51, and then as the double-headed cylinder 42 continues to press down, the clamping spring 533 is compressed, and the elastic material plate 51 slides downward along the vertical axis 534, and the clamping parts 811 and the clamping grooves 812 of the two electrical connectors 8 are mutually clamped to complete the splicing process. In this process, the height of the engaging block 431 and the lowest height of the elastic material plate 51 are set in advance, so that when the bottom of the elastic material plate 51 abuts against the inner wall of the installation groove 52, the two electrical connectors 8 are just spliced, so as to perform precise splicing positioning.

[0045] Action 6: After Action 5 is completed, the drive of the double-headed cylinder 42 in the vertical direction stops and remains stationary. The pressing cylinder 44 drives the pressing block 441 to lift. Since the pins 82 of the two spliced electrical connectors 8 are respectively lapped with the top of the elastic material plate 51 and the top of the engaging block 431, the electrical connector 8 in this state has stable conditions and can maintain its posture unchanged.

[0046] Action Seven: The lead screw module 41 drives the double-headed cylinder 42 to continue to translate away from the first transfer table 11. Due to the setting of the dial block 422, the end of the dial block 422 will abut against the inner side wall of the ejector plate 51, and drive the ejector spring 513 to compress in the first spring groove 512. The slider 531 slides in the movable groove 53, causing the ejector plate 51 and the electrical connector 8 to move away from the engaging block 431 together, so that the fixing portion 81 of the electrical connector 8 moves out of the card slot 432, and the pin 82 is completely separated from the top of the engaging block 431. Subsequently, the lead screw module 41 stops driving, and the second suction cup 421 stops sucking. The electrical connector 8 maintains its state on the ejector plate 51 and remains under the pressure of the dial block 422 only.

[0047] Action Eight: The double-headed cylinder 42 drives the dial block 422 and the second suction cup 421 to move up quickly. The elastic forces of the ejector spring 513 and the clamping spring 533 are released, driving the ejector plate 51 to rebound and reset. During this process, the assembled electrical connector 8 will fall towards the bottom receiving frame 7 under the action of gravity. During the falling process, the ejector plate 51 rebounds to completely eject the electrical connector 8 and separate it from the ejector plate 51, ensuring that the electrical connector 8 can fall quickly, accurately, and without error, and avoiding the adhesion phenomenon caused by the van der Waals force between the surface of the pin 82 of the electrical connector 8 and the surface of the ejector plate 51, which cannot fall off normally.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
