Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of assembly detection equipment, and in particular to a connector assembly detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] The assembly of connectors requires different assembly equipment designed according to different connectors; among the types of connectors, there is a connector specifically for high-speed data transmission, which is generally used in server rooms to connect various servers to each other; this type of connector includes a part called a pull tape, and the pull tape includes an extension part that extends from the connector body and is convenient for holding and pulling. Pulling the pull tape backward facilitates the connector to be released from the plugged state and then pulled out smoothly; when assembling the connector, a small accessory spring needs to be placed in a small groove on the lower housing of the part. After the pull tape is pulled backward, it is pushed forward and reset through this accessory spring. After the assembly is completed, a tensile force detection needs to be performed on the pull tape to determine whether the spring is operating normally.

[0003] In the prior art, when assembling the small accessory spring of the connector, the spring is always clamped by an artificial auxiliary tool and then placed in a specific small groove. This assembly method has a high labor cost and low efficiency; at the same time, after the assembly is completed, it is manually pulled by hand to see if it can be normally reset to determine whether the spring is operating normally. This method has low efficiency, high labor cost and large manual detection errors. Summary of the Invention

[0053] For the convenience of those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments. The content mentioned in the embodiments does not limit the present invention.

[0054] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, a connector assembly detection device includes a workbench 1 and a feeding device installed on the workbench 1, and further includes a clamping feeding device and a station device respectively installed on the workbench 1;

[0055] The feeding device includes a part feeding mechanism and a fitting feeding mechanism;

[0056] The clamping feeding device includes a feeding manipulator and a feeding mechanism; the feeding manipulator includes a robotic arm 11, and the feeding mechanism is installed at the end of the robotic arm 11; the feeding mechanism includes a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly;

[0057] The station device includes a base 2, a first base 21, a second base 22, a detection mechanism, a first power element 23, and a first sliding assembly; the first base 21, the second base 22, and the first power element 23 are all installed on the base 2. A station groove 24 is provided on the first base 21, the detection mechanism is installed on the second base 22, the second base 22 is installed on the base 2 through the first sliding assembly, and the first power element 23 drives the second base 22 to reciprocate on the base 2 through the first sliding assembly to approach and move away from the first base 21;

[0058] The feeding manipulator sequentially places the grabbed parts and fittings onto the station groove 24 through the feeding mechanism. When the first power element 23 drives the second base 22 to move away from the first base 21, the detection mechanism touches the part and obtains parameters for output.

[0059] In the actual operation of the connector assembly detection device of this embodiment, the robotic arm 11 swings to make the feeding mechanism approach the part feeding mechanism and the fitting feeding mechanism respectively to grab the parts and fittings, and then sequentially places the grabbed parts and fittings into the station groove 24 of the first base 21 to complete the assembly process of the connector; when the connector assembly is completed, the first power element 23 drives the second base 22 to move away from the first base 21, and the detection mechanism moves together with the second base 22. During the movement, the detection mechanism touches the extension of the pull tape part of the connector and pushes the pull tape backward to make a pulling action. At this time, the detection mechanism obtains the pulling force parameter received during the pulling and outputs it, and then analyzes and compares the output parameters to determine whether the pulling action of the pull tape part of the connector is normal to determine whether the spring is operating normally.

[0060] As Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the detection mechanism includes a sensor assembly, a first elastic member 3, a pulling member 31, a stopping member 32, and a second sliding assembly; the pulling member 31 is installed on the second base 22 through the second sliding assembly, the sensor assembly is located in front of the pulling member 31, the stopping member 32 is located behind the pulling member 31, one end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the sensor assembly, and the other end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the pulling member 31;

[0061] The pulling member 31 moves back and forth on the second base 22 through the second sliding assembly. When the pulling member 31 moves forward, it pushes against the first elastic member 3, causing the other end of the first elastic member 3 to push against the sensor assembly, and the sensor assembly obtains parameters and outputs them.

[0062] The connector is assembled in the working station groove 24 of the first base 21. The assembled connector is provided with a pulling belt part, which includes an extension part protruding backward from the connector body, and the extension part is provided with a through hole groove; when performing tensile force detection, the first power element 23 drives the second base 22 to move backward away from the first base 21 through the first sliding assembly, and the detection mechanism moves together with the second base 22. During the backward movement, the pulling member 31 abuts against the inner wall of the through hole groove of the pulling belt and pushes the pulling belt backward, causing the spring in the connector to be compressed by the backward movement of the pulling belt. At this time, the pulling member 31 moves forward a certain distance, and the forward movement of the pulling member 31 forms a linkage relationship with the elastic force of the spring. The forward movement of the pulling member 31 pushes against the first elastic member 3, causing the other end of the first elastic member 3 to push against the sensor assembly, and the sensor assembly obtains the force pushed by the first elastic member 3 to form parameter output, and then the parameters are compared and analyzed to determine whether the spring in the connector plays a normal role in pushing and resetting the pulling belt.

[0063] In this embodiment, the sensor assembly includes a sensor fixing seat 33 and a tension and compression sensor 34 installed on the sensor fixing seat 33; the corresponding end of the first elastic member 3 pushes against the tension and compression sensor 34, and the tension and compression sensor 34 obtains parameters and outputs them. The tension and compression sensor 34 is installed on the front side of the sensor fixing seat 33 and is linearly aligned and connected with the first elastic member 3. The first elastic member 3 is preferably a spring.

[0064] In this embodiment, the pulling member 31 is provided with a convex portion 35; the convex portion 35 is used to abut against the end of the part located in the working station groove 24. The convex portion 35 abuts against the inner wall surface of the through hole groove of the pulling belt of the connector and pushes the pulling belt backward when the pulling member 31 moves backward following the second base 22, causing the spring in the connector to be compressed by the backward movement of the pulling belt, and making the pulling member 31 move forward a certain distance. At this time, the forward movement of the pulling member 31 forms a linkage relationship with the elastic force of the spring.

[0065] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, in this embodiment, the working station device further includes a loading mechanism; the loading mechanism is installed on the second base 22;

[0066] The loading mechanism includes a first loading seat 4, a second loading seat 41, a loading member 42, a pushing rod 43, a second elastic member 44, and a third sliding assembly; the loading member 42 is provided with an output channel 45 communicating the front and rear end faces and a loading hole 46 communicating the upper side face and the output channel 45. The first loading seat 4 is mounted on the second loading seat 41 through the third sliding assembly, the loading member 42 is mounted on the first loading seat 4, the pushing rod 43 is mounted on the second loading seat 41 and is aligned with the output channel 45. One end of the second elastic member 44 is connected to the first loading seat 4, and the other end of the second elastic member 44 is connected to the second loading seat 41;

[0067] The first loading seat 4 drives the loading member 42 to move backward through the third sliding assembly, so that the pushing rod 43 slides along the output channel 45.

[0068] The loading mechanism inserts the pin into the tail end of the connector to fix the upper cover and the lower cover of the connector; during assembly, the pin is placed into the output channel 45 from the loading hole 46 of the loading member 42. Subsequently, the first power element 23 drives the second base 22 to move closer to the first base 21. During the moving closer process, the front end face of the loading member 42 abuts against the tail end of the connector. Then, the loading member 42 is blocked and pushes the first loading seat to move backward through the third sliding assembly. At this time, the pushing rod 43 slides along the output channel 45 and pushes the pin located in the output channel 45 forward, so that the pin penetrates out of the other port of the output channel 45 and is inserted into the tail end of the connector. By using the forward and backward movement of the loading member 42, the pushing rod 43 pushes the pin out and inserts it into the connector along the output channel 45.

[0069] In this embodiment, the diameter of the discharge port at the end of the output channel 45 away from the pushing rod 43 is smaller than the diameter of the output channel 45. The diameter of the discharge port of the output channel 45 is reduced so that the pin shrinks during the penetrating process, so that the pin can be accurately and reliably inserted into a preset hole at the tail end of the connector.

[0070] In this embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a second power element 47 and a fourth sliding assembly; the second loading seat 41 is mounted on the second base 22 through the fourth sliding assembly, and the second power element 47 drives the second loading seat 41 to reciprocate on the second base 22 through the fourth sliding assembly. The reciprocating movement of the second loading seat 41 on the second base 22 enables the loading member 42 to be flexibly aligned with the tail end of the connector located in the station groove 24.

[0071] In this embodiment, the number of the loading mechanisms is two, and the two loading mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the second base 22; the two second power elements 47 respectively drive the two second loading seats 41 to move closer to and away from each other through their respective fourth sliding assemblies. The two loading mechanisms can install two pins simultaneously.

[0072] In this embodiment, the base 2 is equipped with two clamping mechanisms, which are respectively located on both sides of the station slot 24; the clamping mechanism includes a clamping member 12, a roller 13 installed at the front end of the clamping member 12, and a third power element 14 for driving the clamping member 12 to approach and move away from the station slot 24. The clamping mechanism presses the two sides of the connector in the station slot 24 tightly to stabilize the connector in the station slot 24.

[0073] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamping assembly includes two clamping members 5, a resisting member 51, and a fourth power element 52; the two clamping members 5 are connected to the fourth power element 52 and are symmetrically spaced from each other, and the resisting member 51 is located between the two clamping members 5;

[0074] The accessory feeding mechanism includes a feeding channel 6 and a material dividing component; the material dividing component is located at the discharge port of the feeding channel 6;

[0075] The material distribution assembly includes a material distribution piece 61; the material distribution piece 61 is provided with a limiting groove 62, and the material inlet of the limiting groove 62 is aligned with the material outlet of the material delivery channel 6;

[0076] The mechanical arm 11 drives the first clamping assembly to approach the limiting groove 62, so that the abutment member 51 presses the accessory tightly in the limiting groove 62, and then the fourth power element 52 drives the two clamping members 5 to approach each other and clamp the accessory.

[0077] In actual operation, the manipulator includes a supporting base, and the manipulator arm 11 is installed on the supporting base and flexibly swings around the supporting base; the accessory feeding mechanism includes a vibrating plate, and the spring is placed in the vibrating plate, and then the springs are arranged and vibrate forward along the feeding channel 6; a spring at the front end moves forward and enters the limiting groove 62, and after the spring enters the limiting groove 62, its left and right sides are limited by the side walls of the limiting groove 62, and the manipulator arm 11 swings to make the first clamping assembly close to the limiting groove 62 so that the resistance member 51 presses against the spring, at this time, the left, right and upper sides of the spring are all limited, and then the fourth power element 52 drives the two clamping members 5 to approach each other and press against the front and rear ends of the spring to clamp the spring, at this time, the spring clamping action is completed, and then the swing arm moves again to move the first clamping assembly to the top of the lower shell of the connector, at this time, the spring is vertically aligned with the small groove on the lower shell, and then the spring is put down to complete the assembly operation. In the action of clamping the spring, the limiting groove 62 is pre-designed to limit the two sides of the spring, and then the upper side of the spring is tightly pressed and limited by the abutment member 51 to ensure the clamping reliability of the spring. The above operation is completed automatically by the manipulator in cooperation with the feeding mechanism, which greatly improves the operation efficiency.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first clamping assembly includes a fifth power element 63; the fifth power element 63 is connected to the contact member 51 and drives the contact member 51 to move up and down between the two clamping members 5; when the contact member 51 moves downward, the accessories clamped by the two clamping members 5 are pushed down for feeding. The robotic arm 11 swings to align the spring clamped by the first clamping assembly with the small groove of the upper housing located on the workbench 1. At this time, the fifth power element 63 drives the contact member 51 to move downward, quickly and accurately pushing the spring into the small groove, and then moving upward to reset; through the pushing and feeding of the contact member 51, the spring can fall into the small groove more accurately, ensuring the reliability of assembly.

[0079] In this embodiment, the contact member 51 is used to press against the bottom surface of the accessory, and is provided with a groove adapted to the surface shape of the accessory. The design of the groove makes the contact member 51 more stable when pressing against the spring, and the limiting effect is stronger.

[0080] As Figures 9 to 10 shown, in this embodiment, the material distribution assembly includes a material distribution fixed seat 3b, a first limiting member 36, a second limiting member 37, a carrier 38, a sixth power element 39, and a seventh power element 30; both the material distribution member 61 and the sixth power element 39 are installed on the carrier 38, the sixth power element 39 is connected to the first limiting member 36, the seventh power element 30 is connected to the carrier 38, and both the seventh power element 30 and the second limiting member 37 are installed on the material distribution fixed seat 3b;

[0081] The second limiting member 37 is located in front of the discharge port of the material conveying channel 6 and is spaced apart from each other to form an accommodating space for accommodating the material distribution member 61;

[0082] The first limiting member 36 is provided with a shielding portion 3a, and the shielding portion 3a is located above the limiting groove 62;

[0083] The seventh power element 30 drives the carrier 38 to drive the material distribution member 61, the sixth power element 39, and the first limiting member 36 to move up and down; the sixth power element 39 drives the first limiting member 36 to reciprocate, so that the shielding portion 3a approaches and covers the limiting groove 62 and moves away from and opens the limiting groove 62.

[0084] When the spring enters the limiting groove 62 from the material conveying channel 6, the shielding portion 3a is located directly above the limiting groove 62 to cover the limiting groove 62. At this time, after the spring enters the limiting groove 62, the left and right sides of the spring are limited by the two side walls of the limiting groove 62, the upper side surface of the spring is limited by the shielding portion 3a, and the front end of the spring is limited by the second limiting member 37. Then, the seventh power element 30 is activated to move the material distribution member 61 upward, and the sixth moving element drives the first limiting block to displace, so that the shielding portion 3a opens the limiting groove 62. At this time, the first clamping assembly approaches the contact member 51 to press against the spring.

[0085] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting groove 62 is V-shaped. After the spring enters the V-shaped groove, the two side surfaces thereof are directly limited.

[0086] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a rotating assembly; the rotating assembly includes a turntable 7 and an eighth power element 71 for driving the turntable 7 to rotate;

[0087] The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are both mounted on the rotating disk 7. The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly can be flexibly converted by the rotating assembly to achieve different clamping requirements.

[0089] The ninth power element 82 drives the two inner support members 8 to move closer to and away from each other. When the two inner support members 8 move away from each other, the two inner support members 8 respectively move closer to the two outer clamping parts 83 to clamp the parts. When the two inner support members 8 move closer to each other, the parts are released.

[0090] The second clamping assembly can clamp the drawstring part with two elastic metal sheets. The robot arm 11 swings to make the second clamping assembly close to the drawstring. At this time, the two elastic metal sheets of the drawstring are respectively located between the two inner support members 8 and the outer clamping part 83. The inner support members 8 are moved outward to open the two elastic metal sheets and push them to the outer clamping part 83 to complete the clamping. Then the swing arm moves to move the workpiece to the corresponding position of the lower shell of the work station slot 24 and put it in to complete the installation. The inner support members 8 are moved outward to open the two elastic metal sheets outward so that they can be smoothly placed in the specific position of the lower shell.
