[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical processing, and in particular to an automatic folding line device. Background Art

[0002] Welding is a common process in the production of common parts such as switches, especially the welding of conductors such as cables and shrapnel. In order to ensure that it is not easy to fall off after welding and to ensure sufficient contact between the cable and the shrapnel, a small hole is usually made on the shrapnel. After the cable is stripped of the outer shell, the exposed conductor (such as copper wire or copper wire) passes through the small hole and then bends. In this way, the shrapnel is equivalent to hooking on the cable. In this way, when welding is performed, the conductor and the shrapnel can be fully in contact, and the problem of falling off after welding can be basically avoided.

The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , exemplarily shows a structural diagram of an automatic line folding device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic folding device 10 includes a first driving member 110, a first conductive member 120, a folding rod 130, a second driving member 140, a second conductive member 150 and a storage seat 160. The first driving member 110 is connected to the first conductive member 120 by transmission, and the folding rod 130 is fixed on the first conductive member 120; the second driving member 140 is connected to the second conductive member 150 by transmission, and the storage seat 160 is arranged corresponding to the second conductive member 150 for placing the spring sheet. The first driving member 110 drives the folding rod 130 to move to complete the folding, and the second driving member 140 drives the second conductive member 150 to move, thereby pushing the storage seat 160 to move, driving the spring sheet to move, so as to coordinate the positioning of the folding line before and after.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, the first driving member 110 and the second driving member 140 are cylinders. It is understood that the first driving member 110 and the second driving member 140 are not limited to cylinders, but can also be other drivers such as motors and steering gears, as long as they can provide driving force.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The first transmission member 120 is transmission-connected to the first driving member 110 and can move under the drive of the first driving member 110. During the movement of the first transmission member 120, the folding rod 130 is driven to move. When the spring sheet and the cable are positioned in the preset area, the folding rod 130 moves to complete the folding line.

[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one or more embodiments, the automatic folding device 10 may further include a base 170, and the first conductive member 120 is at least partially placed on the base 170, so that the base 170 can provide guidance for the movement of the first conductive member 120, so that the first conductive member 120 moves along a preset direction. For example, the base 170 includes a bottom plate 171, and the first conductive member 120 slides along a preset track on the bottom plate 171 under the drive of the first driving member 110.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the first transmission member 120 may include a connecting plate 121 and a sliding plate 123, the sliding plate 123 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 121, the first driving member 110 is transmission-connected to the connecting plate 121, and the broken line rod 130 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 123. When the first driving member 110 is working, the driving force provided by it directly acts on the connecting plate 121, and has a tendency to push the connecting plate 121 to move. The sliding plate 123 is fixed on the connecting plate 121, and the broken line rod 130 is fixed on the sliding plate 123. Therefore, finally, the first driving member 110 pushes the connecting plate 121, the sliding plate 123, and the broken line rod 130 to move together. For example, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, two sliding plates 123 are provided, with a preset spacing between the two sliding plates 123, and one end of the sliding plate 123 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 121, and the other end is fixedly connected to the folding rod 130, so that the folding rod 130 is supported between the two sliding plates 123. The provision of two sliding plates 123 is conducive to promoting the stable movement of the folding rod 130, and avoids the folding rod 130 being displaced by the resistance force during the folding process, thereby affecting the folding effect.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one or more embodiments, a calibration member 180 is further included, and the calibration member 180 is used to calibrate the movement of the first conductive member 120. The calibration member 180 is fixed at a preset position, for example, fixed on the base 170. At least one through hole 180a is provided on the calibration member 180, and the first conductive member 120 also includes a first guide rod 125, one end of the first guide rod 125 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 121, and the other end passes through the through hole 180a on the calibration member 180, and during the movement of the first conductive member 120, at least a part of the first guide rod 125 is located in the through hole 180a. In other words, the first guide rod 125 does not leave the through hole 180a from beginning to end. Since the calibration member 180 is fixed, the position of the through hole 180a is fixed, so that the through hole 180a can limit the first guide rod 125, so that the first guide rod 125 always moves along the axis direction of the through hole 180a. Since the first guide rod 125 is fixed to the first conductive member 120, the calibration member 180 can calibrate the movement path of the first conductive member 120. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, two first guide rods 125 are provided, one end of the first guide rod 125 is fixedly connected to a side of the connecting plate 121 away from the first driving member 110 , and the other end passes through the through hole 180 a .

[0038] See also Figure 4One end of the second conductive member 150 is transmission-connected to the second driving member 140, and the other end is a free end. Driven by the second driving member 140, the second conductive member 150 moves toward the storage seat 160, and the storage seat 160 is lifted or lowered. The spring sheet is placed on the storage seat 160. When the storage seat 160 is lifted or lowered, the spring sheet is driven to move. Since the peeled cable at least partially passes through the through hole on the spring sheet, when the storage seat 160 is lifted or lowered, the spatial position of the spring sheet and the cable will be adjusted. After moving to a suitable position, the folding rod 130 slides under the spring sheet and bends the part of the cable under the spring sheet. In this way, the cable is hooked on the spring sheet, and the spring sheet and the cable can be transported together to the next process for welding.

[0039] In one or more embodiments, a boss 161 is disposed on the storage seat 160 corresponding to the second conductive member 150 , and the second conductive member 150 pushes the storage seat 160 to move via the boss 161 .

[0040] In one or more embodiments, a avoidance hole 170a is provided on the base 170 corresponding to the second conductive member 150, and the second conductive member 150 is at least partially located in the avoidance hole 170a. By providing the avoidance hole 170a, on the one hand, the second conductive member 150 can smoothly push the storage seat 160 to move, and on the other hand, the second conductive member 150 can also be limited by the avoidance hole 170a, so that the second conductive member 150 moves along a predetermined track.

[0041] See also Figure 4 In one or more embodiments, the storage seat 160 is slidably connected to the base 170. For example, a guide hole 160a is provided on the storage seat 160, and a second guide rod (not shown) is provided on the base 170, and the second guide rod at least partially extends into the guide hole 160a. When the storage seat 160 is moving, at least a part of the second guide rod is accommodated in the guide hole 160a. In this way, it can be ensured that the storage seat 160 moves regularly along the axis of the second guide rod, which is conducive to positioning and improves the accuracy of the folding line. For example, the storage seat 160 is provided on the bottom plate 171, and the guide hole 160a is provided on the side of the storage seat 160 close to the bottom plate 171. There are two guide holes 160a, and there are two second guide rods. In a natural state, the second guide rod is accommodated in the guide hole 160a so that the second guide rod is not visible to the outside. Of course, one, three or more second guide rods may be provided, and the number of the guide holes 160a should be adapted to that of the second guide rods.

[0042] Please continue reading Figure 2 The storage seat 160 is provided with a receiving groove 160 b for receiving the spring sheet. When the spring sheet is placed in the receiving groove 160 b, it is fixed, so that the spring sheet can be driven to move by moving the storage seat 160 .

[0043] See also Figure 5 The fold line rod 130 is provided with a plurality of fold line grooves 131. Along the fold line direction, at least one side of the fold line groove 131 completely penetrates the fold line rod 130. The fold line groove 131 includes a first groove section 131a and a second groove section 131b. The first groove section 131a is connected to the second groove section 131b, and the depth of the first groove section 131a is lower than the depth of the second groove section 131b. A shoulder 1311 is formed between the first groove section 131a and the second groove section 131b.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 6 When the folding line is not formed, the cable at least partially passes through the through hole of the spring sheet and corresponds to the first slot section 131a. The second driving member 140 drives the storage seat 160 to move, so that the portion of the cable that passes through the through hole enters the first slot section 131a and abuts against the bottom of the first slot section 131a. At this time, the positioning of the folding line is completed. Then, the first driving member 110 drives the folding line rod 130 to move, so that the cable moves in the first slot section 131a. After moving a certain distance, it abuts against the shoulder 1311 between the first slot section 131a and the second slot section 131b. As the first driving member 110 continues to drive, the shoulder 1311 squeezes the cable, thereby completing the folding line. Finally, the folded cable is accommodated in the second slot section 131b and slides in the second slot section 131b. During the sliding process, the bending is further enhanced, thereby completing the folding line process.

[0045] In addition, in order to prevent the bent cable from bending in the reverse direction during the return of the folding rod 130, thereby affecting the bending effect, the second driving member 140 can also drive the storage seat 160 to raise the cable and the spring sheet. Therefore, the second driving member 140 and the second conductive member 150 are also used to adjust the posture of the product after folding.

[0046] See also Figure 2 In one or more embodiments, the base 170 further includes a wire clamp 175, which is fixedly connected to the base 170 and is used to fix the cable before and during the folding process. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, one end of the cable is clamped in the wire clamp 175, and the other end passes through the through hole of the spring sheet, so that the cable is fixed. At the same time, the wire clamp 175 prevents the cable from sliding out of the wire clamp 175, which can ensure that the posture of the cable is relatively fixed before and during the folding process, which is conducive to the posture adjustment of the cable and the spring sheet before the folding process, and at the same time avoids the random movement of the cable during the folding process. In the illustrated embodiment, the wire clamp 175 is fixed to the base 170 by a clamping rod 177. The wire clamp 175 can be fixed or the fixation of the wire clamp 175 can be cancelled by adjusting the clamping rod 177.

[0047] See also Figure 3In one or more embodiments, the first conductive member 120 is slidably connected to the storage seat 160, and the first conductive member 120 moves based on the storage seat 160. A connection is established between the movement driven by the first conductive member 120 and the movement driven by the second conductive member 150, which can improve the accuracy of the folding line.

[0048] Specifically, the automatic folding line device 10 further includes a first sliding member 191 and a second sliding member 193. The first sliding member 191 includes a first slide rail 1911 and a first slider 1913. The first slider 1913 is fixed on the sliding plate 123 and the first slider 1913 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 1911. The second sliding member 193 includes a second slide rail 1931 and a second slider 1933. The second slider 1933 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 1911 and the second slider 1933 is fixedly connected to the second slide rail 1931. The second slide rail 1931 is fixed on the storage seat 160, and there is a preset angle between the moving direction of the first slider 1913 on the first slide rail 1911 and the moving direction of the second slider 1933 on the second slide rail 1931. Therefore, the movement of the sliding plate 123 and the movement of the storage seat 160 will not interfere with each other. For example, a moving direction of the first sliding block 1913 on the first sliding rail 1911 and a moving direction of the second sliding block 1933 on the second sliding rail 1931 are perpendicular to each other.

[0049] In one or more embodiments, the first slide rail 1911 and the second slide block 1933 are respectively located on both sides of the correction member 180 and are fixedly connected to the correction member 180 from both sides, thereby fixing the correction member 180 through the first slide member 191 and the second slide member 193. For example, the two sliding plates 123 are respectively fixed between the first slide member 191 and the second slide member 193.

[0050] When the automatic folding device 10 is used for folding, the spring sheet is first inserted into the receiving groove 160b of the storage seat 160, and then the stripped end of the cable is passed through the through hole of the spring sheet, and the other end is clamped into the wire clamp 175. Then, the second driving member 140 starts to work, and drives the storage seat 160 to move through the second conductive member 150. When the storage seat 160 moves, the second slide rail 1931 slides relative to the second slider 1933, and does not drive the first slider 191 and the sliding plate 123 to move. After the storage seat 160 moves for a certain period of time, the stripped end of the cable abuts against the bottom of the first groove section 131a of the folding groove 131, and then the storage seat 160 is driven to move, so that the stripped conductor of the cable is roughly evenly distributed on both sides of the through hole. Then, the first driving member 110 starts to work, driving the sliding plate 123 of the first conductive member 120 to move. When the sliding plate 123 moves, the first slider 1913 moves relative to the first guide rail, but the first guide rail does not move. The sliding plate 123 drives the folding groove 131 to move, so that the cable moves in the first groove section 131a, and is bent when passing the shoulder 1311. The bent cable enters the second groove section 131b for enhanced bending. Then, the second driving member 140 drives the second conductive member 150 to move again, and the storage seat 160 is raised again. The first driving member 110 drives the folding rod 130 to reset. Then, the second driving member 140 drives the second conductive member 150 to reset, the storage seat 160 to reset, and the cable bending is completed. The bent cable is hooked on the spring sheet.

[0051] It can be seen that the above-mentioned automatic folding device 10 realizes the automation of the folding process. It only needs to manually install the spring clip and insert the cable into the through hole of the spring clip. It will not hurt the fingers and can fold multiple cables at one time, which is conducive to improving the folding efficiency.

[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
