[0016] (III) Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a pin header production device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 2. The needle row production equipment is provided with a connecting rod structure. During the operation of the pressing plate, the pressing plate rotates around the rotating shaft. Due to the existence of the movable opening, the second connecting shaft can move inside the movable opening to ensure that the rotation of the pressing plate is not affected. At the same time, the connecting rod rotates around the first connecting shaft. During this process, the connecting rods on both sides of the middle play a limiting role, further preventing the pressing plate from shifting on both sides during the rotation process, thereby strengthening the entire bending mechanism, making the structure less prone to dislocation and damage, and extending the service life.

[0020] 3. The needle row production equipment is provided with a movable pressure roller and a limit frame. When the movable pressure roller presses down from above the copper needle, the movable pressure roller can rotate on the inner side of the limit frame. When the movable pressure roller contacts the surface of the copper needle, the rotation of the movable pressure roller can reduce the friction between the copper needle and the surface of the copper needle, thereby effectively reducing the wear on the surface of the copper needle due to friction, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the product.

[0021] 4. The needle row production equipment has three groups of feeding ports opened on the movable plate of the counting and packaging mechanism. In the process of collecting products, the bag opening is turned outward and covered on the edge of the feeding port, and then the edge of the bag opening is fixed by the rubber block of the pressure block structure to complete the placement of the bag. The bags of the three groups of feeding ports are installed in sequence to facilitate the collection of products. The installation and arrangement of the bags are more convenient, which is convenient for collecting products.

[0022] 5. The needle row production equipment is provided with a pressing block structure. After loosening the upper nut and the lower nut, the upper pressing plate and the lower pressing plate can be separated from the connecting frame. Then the threaded rod can be moved up or down to adjust the height of the rubber block so as to apply appropriate pressure to the edge of the bag opening. Then the upper pressing plate and the lower pressing plate are fitted with the connecting frame, and then the upper nut and the lower nut are tightened to stabilize the position of the upper pressing plate and the lower pressing plate, thereby fixing the position of the rubber block. The degree of pressure on the rubber block used to clamp the bag opening can be adjusted, which is beneficial to the fixation of the bag opening. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The detection mechanism and the probe 22 are connected through a signal line (not shown in the figure). Whether the probe 22 detects anything is fed back to the PLC through this signal line. The PLC is a control unit of the equipment. If the needle body is not recognized, the PLC will notify other steps or even suspend the insertion process. An alarm sound can be set on the PLC, and a sound will be emitted when a needle is missing to remind manual intervention.

[0051] Insertion operation process:

[0052] First, the needle body 21 is transported to the first groove 151 through the first vibrating plate 10 and the feeding mechanism 19, and the needle body 21 is supported by the first groove 151. The protrusion 172 on the push block 17 limits the needle body 21, and one end of the needle body 21 is placed in the second groove 152 and electrically connected to the probe 22. At this time, if the number of needle bodies 21 and the number of probes 22 are consistent, an alarm is used to remind manual intervention. If the number of manual inspections is inconsistent, the detection mechanism will cut off the power supply to prevent interpolation. If the number of needle bodies 21 and the number of probes 22 are consistent, or after manual arrangement, When the conditions for needle replenishment are met after checking, the first pushing mechanism 18 pushes the receiving mechanism 15 upwards, the needle body 21 leaves the probe 22, and the needle body 21 corresponds to the plastic part 23 on the feed track 12, and then the second pushing mechanism 174 pushes the pushing block 17 toward the plastic part 23, and the needle body 21 is inserted into the plastic part 23 to complete the needle insertion operation. The pushing block 17 is reset in the opposite direction with the cooperation of the elastic mechanism 173, and the first pushing mechanism 18 moves the receiving mechanism 15 downward, waiting to re-accept the next batch of needle bodies 21, and the plastic part 23 that has completed the needle insertion passes through the feed track 12 to the next process.
