Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of wiring terminal manufacturing, in particular to a wiring terminal row screw station mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Terminal blocks are components used to achieve electrical connections and are widely used in electronics, communications, power and other fields. They provide standardized interfaces that enable wires or cables to be quickly and reliably connected to circuits. Terminal blocks are designed to simplify the assembly process of electrical equipment and improve the stability and safety of connections.

[0003] like Figure 4 As shown, the terminal block consists of a base, a screw and a plug. The base is the main part of the terminal block, usually made of insulating material to ensure electrical isolation and mechanical support. A conductive channel is provided inside the base to guide the current. The screw is a key component of the terminal block, usually made of metal, used to fix the wire. The screw makes the wire in close contact with the conductive part inside the terminal by tightening, thereby achieving a good electrical connection. The plug is another important part of the terminal block, which is usually made of conductive material. The function of the plug is to form an electrical connection with the wire and connect to the conductive channel inside the base.

[0004] At present, the assembly process of terminal blocks is mostly done manually. Workers need to manually screw the screws into the base and insert the wires into the plugs. This process is inefficient, and manual assembly of terminal blocks requires a lot of manual work, which requires high physical strength and endurance from workers. Due to reliance on manual labor, the assembly speed is limited and it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. The consistency of manual operation is difficult to ensure, which may cause fluctuations in the electrical performance and mechanical stability of the terminal blocks. As labor costs rise, the cost of manually assembling terminal blocks is also increasing. During manual operation, there may be a risk of electric shock or mechanical injury due to improper operation or negligence. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a terminal row screw installation station mechanism to solve the technical problem of automatic screw placement during the automatic assembly of the terminal.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the specific technical scheme of a terminal block installation screw station mechanism of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A terminal row screw installation station mechanism comprises a storage structure and an installation structure arranged on the side of a terminal processing track.

[0008] The mounting structure includes a mounting bracket, a first mounting connection block connected to the mounting bracket via a mounting horizontal track, a mounting horizontal driving device driving the first mounting connection block to move along the mounting horizontal track, a second mounting connection block connected to the first mounting connection block via a mounting vertical track, a mounting vertical driving device driving the second mounting connection block to move along the mounting vertical track, and a placement structure connected to the second mounting connection block and extending toward the terminal processing track;

[0009] The storage structure includes a storage bracket and a storage base arranged on the storage bracket; the storage base is provided with a plurality of screw placement grooves, and the screws move in the screw placement grooves toward the terminal processing track;

[0010] The placing structure takes the screws out of the storage structure and then installs them into the terminal base.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the placement structure includes a placement bracket connected to the second connecting block, a screw placement mechanical claw arranged on the placement bracket, and a screw placement drive device that drives the screw placement mechanical claw to grab and release the screw.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the storage structure also includes a grabbing switching structure, which includes a switching base arranged on the side of the storage base facing the terminal processing track, and a switching drive device connected to the switching base and driving the switching base to move along the side of the storage base.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cross-section of the switching base matches the cross-section of the storage base. After the screw enters the switching placement slot corresponding to the switching base from the screw placement slot, the switching drive device drives the switching base to move to the grasping position under the screw placement mechanical claw. At the same time, the side of the switching base closes the screw placement slot to limit the screw in the screw placement slot from continuing to move forward.

[0014] As a further improvement of the utility model, a track structure is provided at the bottom of the screw placement groove, and the track structure enables the screws placed in the screw placement groove to move toward the terminal processing track.

[0015] As a further improvement of the utility model, the workstation mechanism of the utility model also includes a detection structure, which is arranged above the terminal processing track. After the screws are placed in the terminal base, it goes under the detection structure to detect whether there are screws in the terminal base.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the detection structure detects the presence or absence of screws in the terminal base by means of optical fiber detection.

[0017] As a further improvement of the utility model, the workstation mechanism of the utility model also includes a control unit for coordinating the operation of the installation horizontal drive device, the installation vertical drive device, the screw placement drive device, the switching drive device and the detection structure to ensure the automation and synchronization of the entire assembly process.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] The terminal block screw installation station mechanism realizes automatic grabbing, moving and placing of screws through an automated installation structure and placement structure, greatly reducing manual operations and improving production efficiency.

[0020] Utilizing a precision drive device, precise movement of installing the first connection block and installing the second connection block is ensured, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of screw placement.

[0021] The screw placement mechanical claw in the placement structure is designed to be able to adapt to screws of different sizes and shapes, so that the workstation mechanism can adapt to the production of terminal blocks of various specifications, increasing its scope of application.

[0022] Automated operation reduces the chances of manual direct contact with dangerous mechanical parts, reduces the risk of work-related accidents, and improves the safety of the production line.

[0023] Automated screw assembly reduces reliance on manual labor, which helps reduce labor costs in the long run and reduces production errors and rework caused by human factors.

[0024] Through automated screw feeding and placement, the assembly time of the terminal blocks is shortened and the output per unit time is increased.

[0025] The integrated detection structure can detect the presence of screws immediately after they are placed, identify problems in a timely manner and provide feedback, ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0026] In summary, the design of the terminal block installation screw station mechanism aims to improve the production efficiency and quality of the terminal blocks through automation technology, while reducing costs and safety risks, and has good market application prospects and economic benefits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Implementation example:

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a terminal block screw station mechanism of the utility model includes a storage structure 100, an installation structure 200 and a detection structure 300, which is used for an automatic assembly production line of a terminal block 500, and a terminal block base 510 moves between various processing stations along a terminal block processing track 400. The storage structure 100 and the installation structure 200 are arranged on the side of the terminal block processing track 400, and the screws 520 are sequentially stored in the screw placement groove 121, and the screw placement mechanical claw 282 grabs the screws 520 and places them in the terminal block base 510. After the screws are placed, the detection structure 300 detects whether there are screws 520 in the base 510 through optical fiber detection from above the base 510.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the mounting bracket 210 is arranged on the side of the terminal processing track 400, the mounting horizontal track 220 is mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 210 in the horizontal direction, the first connecting block 230 is movably connected to the mounting horizontal track 220, the mounting horizontal driving device 240 is mounted on the mounting bracket 210 to drive the first connecting block 230 to move along the mounting horizontal track 220, the mounting vertical track 250 is mounted on the first connecting block 230 in the vertical direction, the second connecting block 260 is movably connected to the mounting vertical track 250, the mounting vertical driving device 270 is mounted on the mounting bracket 210 to drive the second connecting block 260 to move along the mounting vertical track 250, and the placement structure 280 is mounted on the second connecting block 260 and extends toward the terminal processing track 400. In this example, the mounting horizontal driving device 240 and the mounting vertical driving device 270 are cylinder structures, and the first connecting block 230 and the second connecting block 260 are driven to move back and forth by the extension and contraction of the piston rod.

[0036] The placement structure 280 includes a placement bracket 281 connected to the second connection block 260, a screw placement mechanical claw 282 disposed on the placement bracket 281, and a screw placement driving device 283 that drives the screw placement mechanical claw 282 to grab and release the screw 520. In this embodiment, the screw placement driving device 283 is a cylinder structure, and the screw 520 is grabbed and released by controlling the opening and closing of the two mechanical arms of the screw placement mechanical claw 282.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the storage structure 100 includes a storage bracket 110, a storage base 120 arranged above the storage bracket 110, and a grabbing switching structure 130 arranged close to the storage base 120; a plurality of screw placement grooves 121 are arranged on the storage base 120, and the screws 520 are in the screw placement grooves 121. A track structure is arranged at the bottom of the screw placement grooves 121. In this embodiment, the track structure is a movable track, which enables the screws 520 placed in the screw placement grooves 121 to move toward the terminal processing track 400.

[0038] The grabbing and switching structure 130 includes a switching base 131 disposed on the side of the storage base 120 facing the terminal processing track, and a switching driving device 132 connected to the switching base 131 and driving the switching base 131 to move along the side of the storage base. In this embodiment, the switching driving device 132 is a cylinder structure, which drives the switching base 131 to move back and forth by the extension and contraction of the piston rod. The cross section of the switching base 131 is consistent with the cross section of the storage base 120. In the initial position, the switching base 131 serves as the end of the storage base 120. After the screw 520 enters the switching placement slot corresponding to the switching base 131 from the screw placement slot 121, the switching driving device 132 drives the switching base 131 to move to the grabbing position below the screw placement mechanical claw 282. At the same time, the side of the switching base 131 closes the screw placement slot 121 to limit the screw 520 in the screw placement slot 121 from continuing to move forward. After the screw 520 is grabbed by the screw placement mechanical claw 282 from the switching placement slot, the switching driving device 132 drives the switching base 131 to restore the initial position.

[0039] After the screw 520 is placed on the terminal base 510, it moves forward along the terminal processing track 400 and arrives below the detection structure 300. The detection structure 300 detects whether there is a screw 520 in the base from above through optical fiber.

[0040] The control unit of the present invention coordinates the installation of the horizontal drive device 240, the installation of the vertical drive device 270, the screw placement drive device 283, the switching drive device 132 and the operation of the detection structure 300 to ensure the automation and synchronization of the entire assembly process.
