Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0033] Specifically, the leveling structure includes a first driving component 4, a slide rail guide plate 41 and a slide rail 42. The first driving component 4 is fixed to one end of the reactor fixing seat 2, and a slide rail connecting piece 40 is installed at the end of the driving component push rod.

[0034] Specifically, the wire fixing structure includes a second driving component 5 and a wire hanging plate 50.

[0035] Specifically, the flattening structure includes a third driving component 6. The third driving component 6 is installed on the top plate of the mounting frame 1, and an arc-shaped pressing head 60 is installed at the end of the driving component push rod.

[0038] Specifically, the first driving component 4 and the second driving component 5 are arranged staggeredly. When the second driving component 5 drives the connecting piece 51 to move, one side of the wire hanging plate 50 can slide close to one of the slide rail guide plates 41.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving component 4, the second driving component 5 and the third driving component 6 all adopt air cylinders.
[0040] In the present invention:
[0041] 1. Now, as long as the variable-frequency reactor 8 is placed into the crimping device according to the requirements, so that a part of it is installed in Figure 6 B, start the crimping device, stop the crimping device, and manually take it out to obtain a product with a satisfactory crimping height and crimping shape, and almost all the electrical performance tests are qualified;
[0042] Combined the original multiple operation steps (the original process flow was that workers inserted the aluminum wire 9 into the jaw 7 → used a pair of needle-nose pliers to squeeze the jaw 7 tightly (the aluminum wire 9 was in close contact with the jaw 7 on three sides) → used a rubber hammer to knock and flatten the aluminum wire 9 in the jaw 7 → visually inspected and measured the dimensions manually → conducted electrical performance tests. The new process flow is that workers insert the aluminum wire 9 into the jaw 7 → the terminal crimping device crimps → electrical performance tests. Through fixed process machinery operations, the human risk is reduced, the first-pass yield is extremely high, the efficiency is improved, the interference of human factors is reduced, rework is reduced, and the labor intensity is lowered).
[0043] 2. The crimping fixture is divided into a mechanical part and an electrical control part
[0044] The mechanical part mainly consists of an arc-shaped pressing head 60, a first driving component 4, a second driving component 5, and a terminal jaw positioning base 3. Among them, the terminal jaw positioning base 3 is customized according to the size of the jaw 7, and the arc-shaped pressing head 60 is the final size obtained through multiple verifications of the final shape of the jaw and the deformation of the jaw 7 during the downward pressing of the pressing head
[0045] The process of the electrical control part is that the program set in the PLC controls the movement of different cylinders at different times through solenoid valves, and judges the position of the cylinders through the magnetic induction switches on the cylinders and feeds back to the PLC, so as to realize the closed-loop operation of the entire fixture movement (this is a common technology controlled by PLC in the electrical field and will not be elaborated here);
[0046] The wire fixing structure is responsible for holding the aluminum wire 9 to ensure that the aluminum wire 9 is in close contact with the jaw 7 on three sides during the entire crimping process, and the aluminum wire 9 will not move due to any crimping action, thus affecting the crimping consistency. The flattening structure provides a flat pushing action to flatten the terminal of the jaw 7, providing a bedding for the vertical crimping of the arc-shaped pressing head 60 (if the terminal of the jaw 7 is not flattened in advance, it is difficult for the arc-shaped pressing head 60 to directly crimp the jaw 7 to the state shown in the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the jaw terminal wrapping the aluminum wire 9, that is Figure 2 the state shown).
[0047] Before the arc-shaped pressing head 60 presses down, the aluminum wire 9 has been held by the wire fixing structure to ensure that the aluminum wire 9 does not move during the crimping process. After the wire fixing structure holds the aluminum wire 9, the flattening structure flattens the jaw 7, accurately fixing the contact position between the aluminum wire 9 and the jaw 7, and avoiding the situation that the aluminum wire 9 moves relative to the jaw 7 during the crimping process, resulting in too small a pulling force of the final product's jaw 7 wrapping the aluminum wire 9 and unstable electrical performance of the product.
[0048] As Figures 3 to 7As shown, first fix the variable-frequency reactor 8 to the reactor fixing base 2. At this time, 7 is located at the edge of 30. Then manually pass the aluminum wire 9 through the wire hanging groove 53, control the second driving component 5, that is, the second cylinder drives 51 to move, thereby driving the wire hanging plate 50 to move, and pushing (or pulling) the aluminum wire 9 to the wire clamping groove 30. At this time, the wire hanging groove 53 is flush with the wire clamping groove 30, and the aluminum wire 9 is in close contact with the clamping jaw 7. The second cylinder pauses. Then control the first driving component 4, that is, the first cylinder drives 40 to move, so that the slide rail 42 moves, pushing the clamping jaw 7 flat, so that the aluminum wire 9 is wrapped inside the clamping jaw 7. Then the first cylinder returns to its original position. Then control the third driving component 6, that is, the third cylinder drives 60 to press down, so as to wrap the terminal part of the clamping jaw 7 around the cross-section of the aluminum wire 9, that is Figure 2 the state shown, take it out, and then control the second and third cylinders to return to their original positions, and make it in such a cycle.
[0049] The crimping device of the present invention has greater force than manual work. The force size can be controlled by adjusting the air pressure to ensure the crimping height of the terminal, replacing the original manual knocking, reducing the manual operation intensity and saving the operation time; further reducing the operation process, combining the original processes of squeezing the clamping jaw 7 with a pair of long-nose pliers, flattening the aluminum wire 9 inside the clamping jaw 7 with a rubber hammer, and manual appearance observation and dimension measurement, etc., reducing the labor time and personnel input; further mechanical operation makes the production process of the variable-frequency reactor 8 consistent, facilitating quality control, greatly improving the first-pass rate, and reducing the waste of time and cost caused by rework; further reducing the dependence on skilled workers, creating favorable conditions for the automated production of the whole product.
[0050] The present invention is a crimping jig for the terminal of the clamping jaw 7. The improvements of this crimping jig compared with the original manual crimping are as follows: First, it greatly improves the work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of the operator; Second, the appearance of the products produced is highly consistent, and the disconnection of the connecting wire is almost eliminated, improving the product quality; Third, the pass rate of high voltage and impedance is high, and the electrical performance is very stable.
[0051] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
