DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings, and the contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 13 , Fig.15 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic assembly production line for left and right shells of a connecting line, comprising a pre-processing station 1, a first shell installation station 2 and a second shell installation station 3, wherein the pre-processing station 1 is used to perform soldering treatment on both ends of the connecting line respectively, the first shell installation station 2 is used to assemble the left and right iron shells of a TYPE-C connector at one end of the connecting line, and the second shell installation station 3 is used to assemble the left and right iron shells of a TYPE-C connector at the other end of the connecting line.

[0038] The present invention is applied to the production of casing of connecting wires with TYPE-C connectors at both ends. In actual requirements, the same casing method is generally used for connecting wires with TYPE-C connectors at both ends, that is, when one end of the connecting wire is casinged left and right, the other end is also casinged left and right. The operation of the present invention is as follows: after the connecting wire and the circuit board part are arranged in the front carrier 4, they are welded at the pre-processing station 1; when the connecting wire is welded, it will be transferred to the first casing station 2, and the first casing station 2 will perform left and right casing action on one end of the connecting wire, and then the connecting wire will be transferred to the second casing station 3, and the second casing station 3 will perform left and right casing action on the other end of the connecting wire.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pre-processing station 1 includes a front transmission mechanism 11, a front soldering mechanism, a front shell-lifting mechanism 13, a glue spraying mechanism and a front line moving mechanism 15. The front transmission mechanism 11 is used to transmit the front carrier 4 equipped with connecting wires, the front soldering mechanism is used to solder the two ends of the connecting wires loaded on the front carrier 4, the front shell-lifting mechanism 13 is used to open the front carrier 4, the glue spraying mechanism is used to spray glue on the two ends of the connecting wires respectively, and the front line moving mechanism 15 is used to pick up the connecting wires in the front carrier 4 and transfer them to the first shell loading station 2.

[0040] It should be noted that the front welding mechanism and the glue spraying mechanism described in this embodiment can both adopt the existing technology in the field, and their specific structures and actions will not be described in detail here.

[0041] That is, in the pre-processing station 1, the front carrier 4 is loaded with the connecting wire and is transported by the front transmission mechanism 11, so that the front carrier 4 wire enters the front soldering mechanism, and the front soldering mechanism performs soldering processing on the two ends of the connecting wire. Since the connecting wire is in the front carrier 4, the exposed position of the front carrier 4 allows the front soldering mechanism to only solder the two ends of the connecting wire and the corresponding circuit board; then the front shell-lifting mechanism 13 opens the front carrier 4, allowing the glue spraying mechanism to spray glue on the circuit board part and the connection between the circuit board and the connecting wire; and then the front wire moving mechanism 15 transmits the glue-sprayed connecting wire to the first shell loading station 2 for shell loading, so as to realize the subsequent shell loading action for the connecting wire.

[0042] Specifically, the front transmission mechanism 11 includes a guide member 111, a driving mechanism 112 and a transfer assembly 113, the guide member 111 is used to guide the front carrier 4, the transfer assembly 113 includes a transfer member 1131 and a plurality of transmission members 1132, the plurality of transmission members 1132 are arranged at intervals on the transfer member 1131, the driving mechanism 112 is used to drive the transfer member 1131 to move back and forth, the transmission member 1132 is used to push the front carrier 4 to move as the transfer member 1131 moves, and after pushing the front carrier 4, it is driven by the driving mechanism 112 to move to the next front carrier 4 to push the next front carrier 4 to move.

[0043] by Figure 3 Taking the perspective as an example, in actual use, the front carrier 4 is transmitted to the guide member 111, and the driving mechanism 112 is actuated to cause the transfer member 1131 to actuate, so that the transmission member 1132 on the left contacts the left side of the front carrier 4, and then the driving mechanism 112 drives the transmission member 1132 so that the transmission member 1132 pushes the front carrier 4 to move to the right; after moving a stroke, the driving mechanism 112 resets the front carrier 4 and continues to push the front carrier 4, at which time the leftmost transmission member 1132 pushes the next front carrier 4 to move to the right, and the second front carrier 4 from left to right pushes the previous front carrier 4 to move to the right, thereby achieving the effect of transferring the front carrier 4 in sections.

[0044] Preferably, one end of the pushing portion 1134 is rotatably connected to the transmission portion 1133, and the other end of the pushing portion 1134 is provided with a protrusion 1136 for contacting the front carrier 4, and a yielding slope 1138 is provided between the protrusion 1136 and the pushing portion 1134; the reset member 1135 of the pushing portion 1134 is connected between the other end of the pushing portion 1134 and the transmission portion 1133.

[0045] In actual use, the reset member 1135 is a spring, that is, when the pushing portion 1134 contacts the left side of the front carrier 4, the reset member 1135 is in a state of being lifted up to ensure that the pushing portion 1134 can stably push the front carrier 4 with the action of the driving mechanism 112; and after pushing a certain distance, the transmission member 1132 is driven by the driving mechanism 112 to move in the opposite direction, and the pushing portion 1134 is transferred from the bottom of the next front carrier 4 to the left side of the next front carrier 4, and then the reset member 1135 resets the pushing portion 1134 to ensure that the pushing portion 1134 contacts and pushes the next front carrier 4.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the push part 1134 is rotatably connected to the transmission part 1133, and the other end of the push part 1134 is provided with a protrusion 1136 for contacting the front carrier 4, and a yield slope 1138 is provided between the protrusion 1136 and the push part 1134; the reset member 1135 of the push part 1134 is connected between the other end of the push part 1134 and the transmission part 1133. That is, the protrusion 1136 is used to ensure that it has a sufficient height to contact the front carrier 4; and the yield slope 1138 is used to guide the push part 1134 to enter the lower part of the next front carrier 4, reduce the stable collision between the push part 1134 and the next front carrier 4, and make the movement smoother.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first shell loading station 2 includes a first transmission mechanism 21, a first processing transmission mechanism 22, a first adhesive tape mechanism 23, a first shell loading mechanism 24, a first welding mechanism 25, a first riveting mechanism 26 and a first wire moving mechanism 27. The first transmission mechanism 21 is used to clamp and transmit the connecting line, the first processing transmission mechanism 22 is used to load one end of the connecting line and transmit it, the first adhesive tape mechanism 23 is used to apply adhesive tape to one end of the connecting line, the first shell loading mechanism 24 is used to assemble the left and right iron shells on one end of the connecting line after the adhesive tape is applied, the first welding mechanism 25 is used to weld the assembled iron shells, the first riveting mechanism 26 is used to rivet the welded iron shells, and the first wire moving mechanism 27 is used to transfer the connecting line after the iron shells are riveted to the second shell loading station 3.

[0048] After the connecting wire enters the first shell installation station 2, one end of it will enter the processing carrier 7 of the processing and transmission mechanism, that is, at this time, the first transmission mechanism 21 and the processing and transmission mechanism simultaneously transmit the connecting wire to move, so that one end of the connecting wire is first affixed with a layer of adhesive tape to protect the circuit part, and then the shell installation mechanism installs the iron shells on both sides on the circuit part. The shell installation mechanism is a prior art and will not be repeated here; after the shell installation, the iron shell is welded by the welding mechanism so that the iron shells on both sides are fixed and will not separate, and then the iron shell is riveted and formed by the riveting mechanism, that is, the iron shell assembly effect for the TYPE-C end is achieved. After the assembly is completed, the connecting wire is sent to the second shell installation station 3 for the iron shell assembly of the USB connector. The second shell installation station 3 of this embodiment can be a prior art, which mainly directly puts the iron shell on the other end of the connecting wire and then rivets and fixes it, which will not be repeated here.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 21 includes a line fixing mechanism 211 and a connecting line moving mechanism 212, the line fixing mechanism 211 includes a line fixing member 2111 and at least one line fixing station 2112, the line fixing station 2112 includes two line fixing clamping members 2113 spaced apart from the line fixing member 2111, the two line fixing clamping members 2113 are respectively used to clamp two ends of the same connecting line, and the connecting line moving mechanism 212 is used to drive the line fixing member 2111 to translate.

[0050] In actual use, the production and assembly of the connecting wire generally requires the assembly and welding of the wire ends at both ends, so that interfaces or connectors are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting wire to facilitate electrical conduction of external devices or terminals. Based on the above situation, the present invention uses the wire fixing clamp 2113 to clamp the two ends of the connecting wire respectively, and the connecting wire moving mechanism 212 moves the wire fixing mechanism 211, so that the posture of the two ends of the connecting wire will not change during the transfer process, so that the external device can directly process and assemble it, so that the processing accuracy is better, and the additional mechanism for positioning the connecting wire is saved, reducing the cost. After the processing is completed, the wire fixing clamp 2113 releases the connecting wire, allowing the external picking mechanism to pick up the connecting wire and transfer the connecting wire, so as to achieve the effect of automatically completing the processing and assembly of the connecting wire.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are multiple wire fixing stations 2112, and multiple wire fixing stations 2112 are arranged side by side on the same side of the wire fixing member 2111. As shown in this embodiment, the number of wire fixing stations 2112 is not limited to one, which is used to simultaneously transfer multiple connecting wires, so that the distance moved by each connecting wire is consistent each time, and the connecting wires moved at the same time perform the actions of each process respectively, so that the structure of transferring the connecting wires is simpler, and interference between the connecting wires during the transfer process due to different durations of the processes is avoided.

[0052] Specifically, the wire fixing clamping part 2113 includes a clamping finger cylinder 2114 and two clamping claws 2115. The clamping finger cylinder 2114 is installed on the side wall of the wire fixing part 2111. The two finger ends of the clamping finger cylinder 2114 are respectively provided with clamping claws 2115, and the two clamping claws 2115 are respectively provided with clamping grooves 2116 for contacting with the connecting wire on the sides facing each other.

[0053] That is, when clamping the connecting wire, the clamping finger cylinder 2114 controls the two clamping jaws 2115 to approach each other, and the two clamping grooves 2116 respectively contact the connecting wire to clamp the connecting wire, thereby ensuring that the connecting wire will not deviate or rotate during the movement, thereby ensuring the posture of the connecting wire; after the processing is completed, the clamping finger cylinder 2114 controls the clamping jaws 2115 to open from each other, so that the connecting wire can be taken out by an external picking mechanism.

[0054] Specifically, the clamping jaw 2115 is provided with a plurality of abutting members 2117, and a clearance groove 2118 is provided between adjacent abutting members 2117, and a clamping groove 2116 is provided on the abutting members 2117, and the abutting members 2117 of the two clamping jaws 2115 are respectively misaligned; when the two clamping jaws 2115 approach each other and abut against each other, the abutting member 2117 of one clamping jaw 2115 is inserted into the clamping groove 2116 of the other clamping jaw 2115 for positioning. That is, when the two clamping jaws 2115 approach each other, the abutting members 2117 of each other are inserted into the clamping groove 2116 of the other side for positioning, ensuring that the two clamping jaws 2115 can clamp in position, avoiding unstable clamping of the connection line due to misalignment, and avoiding excessive squeezing of the connection line by the clamping jaws 2115 due to misalignment, thereby ensuring the safety of the connection line.

[0055] In actual use, you can Fig.14 The processing carrier 7 shown or other commonly used processing carriers 7 realize the transfer of the connecting wire. The processing carrier specifically includes the processing carrier including a base 71 and a clamping member 72 rotatably set on the base 71, and the clamping member 72 is used to position the wire end (i.e., the circuit board part) of the connecting wire. The bottom of the base 71 is provided with a hollow hole 73 for making way for the positioning mechanism, and the clamping member 72 is provided with a control block 74, which can be grasped and rotated by an external drive to drive the clamping member 72 to rotate.

[0056] When the processing carrier 7 is moved to the present invention, the assembly fixing mechanism 241 is actuated to fix the processing carrier 7, and then the assembly picking mechanism 243 picks up the shielding shell loaded by the assembly loading mechanism 242 and assembles it to the connecting line. The two picking mechanisms pick up the shielding shells from the two assembly loading mechanisms 242 respectively, and then move the shielding shells to the two ends of the connecting line respectively and assemble them, thereby achieving the effect of fully automatic shielding shells. Due to the setting of the fixing mechanism, the present invention can fix the posture and position of the connecting line, so that the installation of the shielding shell is more accurate, and the quality of the connecting line is guaranteed.

[0057] In this embodiment, the assembly fixing mechanism 241 includes an assembly fixing seat 2411, an assembly driving component 2412, and two assembly clamps 2413. The two assembly clamps 2413 are both movably arranged on the assembly fixing seat 2411. The assembly driving component 2412 is used to drive the two assembly clamps 2413 to move closer to or farther from each other to clamp or release the external processing carrier 7. When the processing carrier 7 moves to the fixing mechanism, the processing carrier 7 moves between the two assembly clamps 2413, and the assembly driving component 2412 controls the two assembly clamps 2413 to move closer to each other, so that the two assembly clamps 2413 clamp the processing carrier 7 to fix it, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the shielding shell.

[0058] Specifically, the assembly drive component 2412 includes a linear drive 24121 and an assembly gear 24122. The two assembly clamps 2413 are respectively provided with a tooth portion 24131. The two tooth portions 24131 are respectively engaged with the two sides of the gear. The linear drive 24121 is used to drive one of the assembly clamps 2413 to move back and forth. The linear drive 24121 is a cylinder or an electric cylinder, which is used to drive one of the assembly clamps 2413 to move. Since both assembly clamps 2413 are engaged with the assembly gear 24122, the other assembly clamp 2413 will move mirror-image with the assembly gear 24122, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the simultaneous movement of the two assembly clamps 2413 by a linear drive 24121. The structure is simple and the space requirement is reduced. The tooth portion 24131 can be directly set on the assembly clamp 2413, or on the rack, and then the rack is assembled with the assembly clamp 2413.

[0059] Specifically, the assembly clamp 2413 is provided with a wire clamping portion 24132, and the two wire clamping portions 24132 cooperate to clamp the connecting wires loaded on the external processing carrier 7. That is, while fixing the processing carrier 7, the present invention can also clamp the connecting member, thereby fixing the connecting wires, and further ensuring the stability of the connecting wire posture when assembling the shielding shell.

[0060] Specifically, the assembly fixing mechanism 241 also includes a fixed translation mechanism 2414, which is used to drive the assembly fixing seat 2411 to move forward and backward. The fixed translation mechanism 2414 uses a cylinder or an electric cylinder as a power source. After the processing carrier 7 and the connecting wire are fixed, the processing carrier 7 is controlled to move forward so that the processing carrier 7 can be moved to a specific position to realize the assembly of the shielding shell of the connecting wire. This method can effectively utilize the space and ensure that the processing carrier 7 is misaligned with other processing carriers 7 when assembling the shielding shell, which is convenient for other components to identify and act.

[0061] In this embodiment, the assembly loading mechanism 242 includes a loading vibration plate 2421, a loading support seat 2422, and a loading lifting assembly 2423. The loading vibration plate 2421 is used to convey the shielding shell to the loading support seat 2422, the loading lifting assembly 2423 is used to lift the shielding shell in the loading support seat 2422, and the assembly picking mechanism 243 is used to pick up the lifted shielding shell. The loading vibration plate 2421 is used to arrange multiple shielding shells one by one and then transmit them to the loading support seat 2422, and then the loading lifting assembly 2423 lifts the frontmost shielding shell to detach from the loading support seat 2422, so that the assembly picking mechanism 243 can accurately pick up the shielding shell for assembly. In actual use, in order to ensure that only one shielding shell detaches from the loading support seat 2422, a loading clearance groove 24221 with a shape adapted to the shielding shell is provided on the top of the loading support seat 2422.

[0062] Specifically, the material loading and ejecting assembly 2423 includes an ejecting driving member 24231, an ejecting member 24232 and an ejecting transmission member 24233. The ejecting member 24232 can be lifted and lowered in the material loading and ejecting support 2422. The ejecting driving member 24231 is used to drive the ejecting transmission member 24233 to move back and forth, and the ejecting transmission member 24233 is used to drive the ejecting member 24232 to move up and down. The ejecting driving member 24231 is preferably a cylinder or an electric cylinder, which drives the ejecting member 24232 to move up and down by controlling the ejecting transmission member 24233 to move back and forth, and the ejecting member 24232 lifts the shielding shell to facilitate the assembly of the picking mechanism 243 for picking up.

[0063] In this embodiment, the ejector member 24232 is provided with an ejector transmission shaft 24234, and the ejector transmission member 24233 is provided with an inclined slot 24235, and the ejector transmission shaft 24234 is movably arranged in the inclined slot 24235. In actual use, the ejector transmission member 24233 is located in the material loading support seat 2422, and the ejector member 24232 can be lifted and lowered in the ejector transmission member 24233; at the same time, a limited position structure is provided in the material loading support seat 2422 so that the ejector member 24232 can only be lifted and lowered in the material loading support seat 2422. When the material lifting driving member 24231 is in motion, the material lifting driving member 24231 drives the material lifting transmission member 24233 to move back and forth. Since the material lifting transmission shaft 24234 is in the inclined groove 24235, the material lifting member 24232 tends to move obliquely upward / downward due to the movement of the material lifting transmission member 24233. However, due to the limitation of the limiting mechanism of the loading support seat 2422, the material lifting member 24232 can only be lifted and lowered, thereby achieving the effect of lifting and lowering action driven by horizontal back and forth movement, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of space and make the structure of the present invention more compact.

[0064] In this embodiment, the assembly picking mechanism 243 includes an assembly picking piece 2431 for picking up the shielding shell, a picking driving piece 2432 for driving the assembly picking piece 2431 to move back and forth, and a picking rotating assembly 2433 for driving the assembly picking piece 2431 to rotate. The assembly picking piece 2431 is a prior art, which has a corresponding groove for clamping the shielding shell; when in action, the picking rotating assembly 2433 drives the assembly picking piece 2431 to rotate to align with the shielding shell, and then the picking driving piece 2432 drives the assembly picking piece 2431 to descend to contact with the shielding shell and shield it; then the picking driving piece 2432 and the picking rotating assembly 2433 cooperate to drive the assembly picking piece 2431 to move to the side of the connecting line and align the shielding shell with the connecting line, and the two assembly picking pieces 2431 are close to each other to assemble the two shielding shells and wrap the wire ends of the connecting line, completing the assembly of the left and right shielding shells. Specifically, the material picking drive member 2432 is preferably composed of an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder in conjunction with a guide mechanism.

[0065] Specifically, the material picking rotating assembly 2433 includes a material picking rotating driving member 24331, a material picking rotating shaft 24332, a material picking gear 24333 and a material picking rack 24334. The material picking rotating driving member 24331 is used to drive the material picking rack 24334 to move back and forth, the material picking gear 24333 is meshed with the material picking rack 24334, the material picking gear 24333 is transmission-connected with the material picking rotating shaft 24332, and the material picking rotating shaft 24332 is used to drive the material picking driving member 2432 to rotate. The material picking rotating driving member 24331 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, which is used to drive the material picking rack 24334 to move back and forth, and the material picking gear 24333 is driven by the action of the material picking rack 24334 to rotate, thereby allowing the material picking rotating shaft 24332 to rotate, thereby achieving the rotation control effect of the assembled material picking member 2431; and preferably, in order to save space, the material picking gear 24333 is directly sleeved on the material picking rotating shaft 24332, thereby ensuring the rotation accuracy and transmission stability.

[0066] In this embodiment, the present invention further comprises an assembly translation mechanism 245, the assembly translation mechanism 245 comprises an assembly translation seat 2451 and an assembly translation driving member 2452, two assembly pickup mechanisms 243 are both arranged on the assembly translation seat 2451, and the assembly translation mechanism 245 is used to drive the assembly translation seat 2451 to move back and forth. The present invention allows the assembly pickup mechanism 243 to move forward and backward, so that when the shielding shell does not need to be assembled, the two assembly pickup mechanisms 243 are controlled to retreat and make way, thereby avoiding interference with other actions and improving the safety of the present invention.

[0069] In addition, the first processing transmission mechanism 22 described in the present invention can be composed of a conventional conveyor belt structure and a lifting mechanism, which is used to allow the processing carrier 7 to be transmitted to the end and then the lifting mechanism cooperates to transmit the processing carrier 7 from the conveyor belt structure to its front end, so that the trajectory of the processing carrier 7 forms a closed loop, which is convenient for automated work; and the adhesive tape sticking mechanism, welding mechanism and riveting mechanism can all adopt existing technologies and will not be repeated here.
