Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to power strip processing, and more particularly to a copper part alignment device for power strip processing. Background Technology
[0002] A power strip, also known as a power outlet or extension cord, is a multi-outlet socket with a built-in power cord and plug. It can connect more than one power outlet, saving both space and wiring.
[0003] The power strip contains many copper plates. During the assembly process, the individual copper plates need to be aligned and connected. After the alignment is completed, the copper plates are installed in the power strip to finish assembling the internal components.
[0004] In practice, the copper sheet with protrusions is placed on the worktable by hand, and then the copper sheet with blind holes is aligned with it and connected by the other hand. However, this method of alignment is not possible because the specific position of the blind holes cannot be seen. At the moment of downward alignment, the copper sheets are not accurately aligned. Furthermore, during the manufacturing process, the protrusions of each copper sheet may have angular tilt errors, which directly affects the alignment between the protrusions and blind holes, making it even more inaccurate and causing safety issues in the subsequent use of the power strip. To address this, we propose a copper part alignment device for power strip processing. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a copper alignment device for power strip processing. Copper sheets are sequentially transported forward via a hopper and conveyor belt. The transported copper sheets are then screened by a first and second screening assembly to identify their mating positions before continuing downward transport. A locking part and an alignment post are used to position the protruding and blind hole portions of the copper sheets, respectively, using the locking part and alignment post as references. Finally, a mating unit aligns the two sets of copper sheets, achieving accurate mating and solving the problem of inaccurate mating affecting connection stability in existing mating processes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] Alignment plate, used to press and hold the alignment plate acting on the copper sheet and connected to the moving part, and the alignment plate is provided with alignment holes corresponding to the protrusions of the copper sheet;
[0030] The locking part, which is used to drive the component to shrink in a circumferential direction to lock the defining column, is provided in the alignment hole.

[0039] A bidirectional convergence section, used to drive the end components to move in opposite directions, is disposed within the second receiving plate; and
[0040] Alignment post, which is connected to the bidirectional convergence portion;
[0041] The bidirectional converging section drives the alignment post to move in a converging, opposite direction, with the alignment post determining the position of the copper sheet.
[0042] Preferably, the second fixing mechanism includes:
[0043] A top plate is provided on top of the second receiving plate, and a clearance groove is provided on the top plate;
[0044] The second fixing plate is connected to the top plate and is flexibly disposed on both sides of the top plate;

[0050] An alignment rod, used to press and align the copper sheets together, is located at one end of the worktable.
[0051] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0052] This invention uses a feeding unit to place copper sheets into a feeding hopper, which then moves them downwards along a feeding track until they fall onto a conveyor belt. The flipping action of the first and second screening components ensures that each set of copper sheets is placed in a dockable state on the conveyor belt, thus achieving automated copper sheet transfer and picking, and solving the problem of the time wasted by the existing manual sorting method.
[0053] This invention uses a column assembly to lock the protruding column at the center of the locking part and adjust the position of the copper sheet. After the copper sheet is adjusted, the first clamping plate first pre-positions its position, and then the first pressing plate presses it longitudinally, restricting the first clamping plate from moving left or right, thereby fixing the copper sheet and solving the problem of uncertain position of the copper sheet in existing systems.
[0054] This invention utilizes a hole assembly to align blind holes at their minimum indentation position using a positioning post, and adjusts the position of the copper sheet during the abutment process. By employing the functions of a second fixing plate and a second pressing plate, the accurate positioning of the copper sheet is achieved, thus solving the problem of inaccurate copper sheet positioning in existing systems.
[0055] This invention uses a docking assembly to move copper sheets that have been aligned in position. By using a first moving part and a second moving part to move the two sets of docking copper sheets relative to each other, the relative movement distances are made the same, thus achieving docking of the two sets of copper sheets. This solves the problem that the position of the copper sheets may shift during the docking process, affecting subsequent safe use.
[0056] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of automation, complete process, and accurate docking. Attached Figure Description

[0072] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a copper part alignment device for power strip processing includes a worktable 100, and further includes:
[0073] The unloading unit 1, used for sequentially conveying copper sheets downwards, is located at one end of the worktable 100;
[0074] Alignment unit 2, used to align the position of the transmitted copper sheet, is connected to unloading unit 1 and is located in the middle of worktable 100;
[0075] The alignment unit 2 includes:
[0076] The alignment assembly 21, used to locate the position of the copper sheet with protrusions, is connected to the unloading unit 1 and is located on one side of the worktable 100; and

[0078] The docking unit 3, used to connect the aligned copper sheets, is connected to the alignment unit 2 and is located at the other end of the workbench 100.
[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the feeding unit 1 includes:
[0080] The feeding hopper 11, which is used to load two kinds of copper sheets, is located on both sides of the workbench 100;
[0081] The feeding track 12 is used to sequentially transport two types of copper sheets downwards. The feeding track 12 is connected to the feeding hopper 11 and is located at the bottom of the feeding hopper 11. Rolling rollers 121 are provided on both sides of the feeding track 12.
[0082] Conveyor belt 13, used to receive and transport the two types of copper sheets, is connected to the unloading track 12 and is located at the bottom of the unloading track 12; and
[0083] The screening component 14 is used to screen the joints of two copper sheets. The screening component 14 is connected to the conveyor belt 13 and is set on the workbench 100.
[0084] Two types of copper sheets are placed into two sets of feeding hoppers 11, and then moved downward along the feeding track 12. In order to reduce the friction between the copper sheets and the feeding track 12, rolling rollers 121 are provided on both sides of the feeding track 12. The copper sheets eventually fall onto the conveyor belt 13 and then proceed to the next step.
[0085] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the column assembly 21 includes:
[0086] The column-finding mechanism 211, used to locate the protruding part and determine the position of the copper sheet, is located on one side of the workbench 100.
[0087] The first fixing mechanism 212 is used to fix the copper sheet with the protruding part in the correct position. The first fixing mechanism 212 is connected to the conveyor belt 13 and is set on the workbench 100.
[0088] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-5 , Figure 9 As shown, the column-finding mechanism 211 includes:
[0089] The first receiving plate 2111, which is used to receive the copper sheet, is connected to the conveyor belt 13 and is disposed on the workbench 100.
[0090] The first moving part 2112, which is used to drive the end component to move, is provided on one side of the worktable 100;
[0091] Alignment plate 2113 is used to press and hold the copper sheet. Alignment plate 2113 is connected to moving part 2112, and alignment hole 21131 corresponding to the protrusion of copper sheet is provided on alignment plate 2113.
[0092] The locking part 2114, which is used to drive the component to shrink in the circumferential direction to lock the defining column, is provided in the alignment hole 21131.
[0093] The moving part 2112 includes:
[0094] A fixing plate 21121 is connected to the workbench 100 and is located on one side of the workbench 100. A first limiting rail 21121a and a second limiting rail 21121b are respectively provided on the fixing plate 21121.
[0095] The movable column 21122 is slidably connected to the first limiting track 21121a;
[0096] A connecting crossbar 21123 is provided, which is connected to the moving column 21122 and the alignment plate 2113 respectively, and a through groove 21123a is provided on the connecting crossbar 21123.
[0097] The limiting post 21124 is slidably connected to the through groove 21123a and the second limiting track 21121b respectively;
[0098] The locking part 2114 includes:
[0099] Gear ring 21141, wherein the gear ring 21141 is disposed in the alignment hole 21131;
[0100] The driving gear 21142 is connected to the gear ring 21141 and is located outside the gear ring 21141;
[0101] Driven gear 21143, which is connected to gear ring 21141, is located inside gear ring 21141, and multiple sets are provided;
[0102] A conveyor bar 21144 is connected to a driven gear 21143 and is located at the bottom of a gear ring 21141;
[0103] Locking plate 21145, used to lock the protrusion on the copper sheet and the connection between the locking plate 21145 and the conveyor strip 21144 in a circumferentially shrinking manner; and
[0104] A linkage device is used to drive each drive gear 21142 to rotate simultaneously. It is preferably a combination of a motor and a gear belt 331. In order to further increase the stability of the connection, a pressure roller is provided around the gear belt 331 to squeeze the gear belt 331 so that the connection is tighter.
[0105] The copper sheet with protrusions moves along the conveyor belt 13. After moving onto the first receiving plate 2111, the moving column 21122 can move along the first limiting track 21121a. The moving column 21122 is connected to the connecting crossbar 21123, and the connecting crossbar 21123 is connected to the alignment plate 2113. The moving column 21122 moves along the first limiting track 21121a, causing the alignment plate 2113 to move closer to the first receiving plate 2111. In order to reduce the rotation of the alignment plate 2113 during movement, the limiting column 21124 moves along the through groove 21123a and the second limiting track 2112. The alignment plate 2113 moves towards the second receiving plate 2211 until it is directly above the copper sheet. At this point, there is still a certain distance between the copper sheet and the alignment plate 2113. Using the linkage device, i.e., the motor drives the gear 331, causing all four sets of driving gears 21142 to rotate. At the same time, the gear ring 21141 rotates. Under the drive of the gear ring 21141, the driven gear 21143 rotates. Finally, the conveyor bar 21144 drives the locking plate 21145 to retract inward. If the angle of the protrusion of the copper sheet changes, the position of the copper sheet can be adjusted during the retraction of the locking plate 21145.
[0106] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the hole assembly 22 includes:
[0107] Hole-finding mechanism 221, used to locate blind holes and determine the position of copper sheets, is connected to conveyor belt 13 and is mounted on worktable 100; and
[0108] The second fixing mechanism 222, used to fix the copper sheet in a determined position, is located above the hole finding mechanism 221.
[0109] Furthermore, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the hole-finding mechanism 221 includes:
[0110] The second receiving plate 2211 is connected to the conveyor belt 13 and is disposed on the workbench 100;
[0111] A bidirectional convergence portion 2212, used to drive the end components to move in opposite directions, is disposed within the second receiving plate 2211; and
[0112] Alignment post 2213, which is connected to bidirectional convergence portion 2212;
[0113] The bidirectional gathering part 2212 drives the alignment post 2213 to move together in a gathering manner, and the alignment post 2213 determines the position of the copper sheet.
[0114] The bidirectional convergence portion 2212 includes:
[0115] A lifting device 22121 is connected to a second receiving plate 2211; the lifting device 22121 is preferably a cylinder and a fixed plate 21121.
[0116] The first gear 22122 is connected to the lifting device 22121 and is located inside the second receiving plate 2211;
[0117] The first rack 22123 is connected to the first gear 22122 and is disposed on one side of the first gear 22122;
[0118] The second rack 22124 is connected to the first gear 22122 and is located on the side of the first gear 22122 away from the first rack 22123;
[0119] The transmission device 22125 is used to simultaneously drive multiple sets of first racks 22123 and second racks 22124 to move relative to each other. The transmission device 22125 is mounted on the lifting device 22121. The transmission device 22125 is preferably a gear 331 and a gear 331 belt, with a motor as the power source.
[0120] After the copper sheet moves to the second receiving plate 2211, the alignment post 2213 moves upward under the drive of the cylinder and the fixing plate 21121 until the alignment rod is inserted into the blind hole of the copper sheet. Then, the transmission device 22125, i.e., the motor and gear 331, is used as the active power source to drive the first gear 22122 to rotate. After the rotation of the first gear 22122, the first rack 22123 and the second rack 22124 move towards each other, which drives the alignment rod to move towards each other until the alignment rod moves to the shortest distance between the two sets of blind holes and then stops moving. At this time, the position of the copper sheet is determined.
[0121] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second fixing mechanism 222 includes:
[0122] Top plate 2221, the top plate 2221 is disposed on the top of the second receiving plate 2211, and the top plate 2221 is provided with a clearance groove 22211;
[0123] The second fixing plate 2222 is connected to the top plate 2221 and is flexibly disposed on both sides of the top plate 2221;
[0124] The second pressing plate 2223 is slidably disposed on the second fixed plate 2222;
[0125] Using a pushing device, the second fixing plate 2222 is used to fix the two ends of the copper sheet that are aligned by the alignment post 2213. After fixing, the pushing device is used to press down the second pressing plate 2223 so that the position of the copper sheet will not shift, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the position of the copper sheet.
[0126] Furthermore, such as Figure 10-11 As shown, the docking unit 3 includes:
[0127] The first connecting post 31 is connected to the first alignment plate 2113;
[0128] The first docking part 32, which is used to drive the end parts to move along the track and approach each other, is provided on both sides of the worktable 100.
[0129] The second docking part 33, which is used to drive the copper sheets that have come close to each other to align, is provided on the worktable 100.
[0130] Alignment rod 34, used to press and align the copper sheets together, is located at one end of the worktable 100.
[0131] The first docking part 32 includes:
[0132] Mounting plates 321 are provided at both ends of the workbench 100, and opposite sliding grooves 3211 are provided on the two sets of mounting plates 321.
[0133] The movable plate 322 is connected to the mounting plate 321, and both movable plates 322 are provided with opposite limiting grooves 3221.
[0134] The first link 323 is connected to the movable plate 322;
[0135] The second link 324 is connected to the first link 323;
[0136] The motor rotates, driving the second link 324 to rotate. Driven by the second link 324, the first link 323 and the movable plate 322 connected to the first link 323 move along the slide groove 3211. Subsequently, the slide grooves 3211 opened on the two sets of mounting plates 321 are opposite, so that the vertical distance between the two sets of copper plates can be brought closer under the drive of the motor.
[0137] The second docking part 33 includes:
[0138] Gear 331, wherein gear 331 is disposed on worktable 100;
[0139] The first movable rack 332 is connected to the mounting plate 321 and is located at one end of the worktable 100;
[0140] The second moving rack 333 is mounted on the mounting plate 321 and is located at the other end of the worktable 100.
[0141] The motor drives the gear 331 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 331 causes the first moving rack 332 and the second moving rack 333 to move relative to each other, thereby enabling the two copper pieces to move quickly to the aligned position.
[0142] Once the two sets of copper sheets are aligned, the alignment rod applies force to the uppermost copper sheet and presses it downwards, aligning and pressing the two sets of copper sheets together.
[0143] It should be noted that the principle of the alignment rod 34 is similar to that of a telescopic rod, which can move up and down. When in use, it presses and aligns the two sets of copper plates. When not in use, it is held at one end of the worktable 100. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.
[0144] Note: The area of the copper sheet with blind holes at the alignment position is smaller than that of the copper sheet with raised holes.
[0145] Example 2
[0146] like Figure 3-4 , Figure 6 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0147] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the first screening unit 142 includes:
[0148] First mounting base 1421, the first mounting base 1421 is disposed on the workbench 100;
[0149] Interception plate 1422, wherein the interception plate 1422 is disposed on the first mounting;
[0150] Adsorption plate 1423, which is connected to interception plate 1422, is disposed on one side of first mounting base 1421;
[0151] When the interceptor plate 1422 blocks the copper sheet from falling from the hopper 11 onto the conveyor belt 13, it may be placed sideways on the conveyor belt 13, causing the position that the copper sheet needs to be aligned to change and making it impossible to align.
[0152] Since the height of the copper sheet placed on the side of the conveyor belt 13 is higher than the height of the copper sheet correctly placed on the conveyor belt 13, the correctly placed copper sheet can continue to move forward with the conveyor belt 13. The front end of the limiting plate 141 is provided with a guide plate, the width of which is greater than the width of the copper sheet, so as to facilitate the entry of the copper sheet. After entering, the copper sheet moves backward to its fixed position by the action of the limiting plate 141.
[0153] After the copper sheet placed on the side passes the interceptor plate 1422, it is intercepted by the interceptor plate 1422. At this time, the adsorption plate 1423 is driven by the power device to rotate it counterclockwise or clockwise, so that the protruding part of the copper sheet is rotated to the top. The existing technology can accurately place it, so I will not go into details here.
[0154] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second screening unit 143 includes:
[0155] The second mounting base 1431 is disposed on one side of the conveyor belt 13;
[0156] Telescopic plate 1432, which is connected to the second mounting base 1431 and is located on one side of the mounting base;
[0157] The adsorption rod 1433, used to rotate the position of the copper sheet, is located on the top of the second mounting base 1431;
[0158] Alignment blocks 1434 are disposed on both sides of the second mounting base 1431;
[0159] During the cutting process, the copper sheets that are aligned with the above-mentioned copper sheets may also be inaccurate in the required alignment position.
[0160] When the position is inaccurate, the copper sheet is first blocked by the telescopic plate 1432. Then, the positioning block 1434 is used to fix the position of the copper sheet while measuring the distance on both sides. It should be noted that, due to the shape requirements of the copper sheet, the distance on both sides of the correctly placed copper sheet must be smaller than the distance on both sides of the incorrectly placed copper sheet. Finally, it is determined whether the position is correct. The incorrect copper sheet is rotated 90 degrees around the adsorption rod 1433 to rotate it to the accurate position.
[0161] Example 3
[0162] like Figure 4 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as those in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0163] The first fixing mechanism 212 includes:
[0164] The first clamping plate 2121 is elastically disposed on both sides of the first receiving plate 2111;
[0165] The first pressing plate 2122 is slidably connected to the first clamping plate 2121;
[0166] The pushing device pushes forward, causing the elastic element that is elastically connected between the first clamping plate 2121 and the pushing device to squeeze the copper sheet. The first clamping plate 2121, after being fixed in position, has a shell on its outside. The pushing device pushes the first pressing plate 2122, which is elastically connected to the shell and presses the first pressing plate 2122 onto the first receiving plate 2111, thereby fixing the already aligned protruding copper sheet in position and preventing it from shifting.
[0167] Work steps
[0168] Step 1: Place the copper sheet into the feeding hopper 11 so that the copper sheet can move downward along the feeding track 12 in sequence. In order to reduce friction, a rolling roller 121 is rolled in the feeding track 12 to further promote the feeding of the copper sheet until it falls onto the conveyor belt 13.
[0169] Step 2: The copper sheet falling onto the conveyor belt 13 is intercepted by the first screening component 14 and the second screening component 14, and rotated at the correct angle so that it continues to be transported forward on the conveyor belt 13 in a docked state. Then, the copper sheet is fixed in position and moved to the next station by the limiting plate 141.
[0170] Step 3: The copper sheet continues to move forward and lands on the first receiving plate 2111 and the second receiving plate 2211 respectively. The copper sheet on the first receiving plate 2111 is positioned using the post-alignment assembly 21, and the copper sheet on the second receiving plate 2211 is positioned using the hole-alignment assembly 22.
[0171] Step 4: The protrusion on the copper sheet on the first receiving plate 2111 faces upwards, and the locking plate 21145 in the alignment hole 21131 contracts in a circumferential direction to lock it in contact with the protrusion. If there is a possibility of misalignment between the protrusions, the locking plate 21145 can adjust the position of the protrusion with the locking plate 21145 as the center, so that the copper sheet is always aligned with the center of the alignment hole 21131 as the reference to the other copper sheet. After the locking plate 21145 adjusts the position of the copper sheet, it overlaps on the surface of the copper sheet and has a certain holding effect. At this time, the clamping effect of the first clamping plate 2121 and the first pressing plate 2122 is used to ensure that the position of the copper sheet does not shift.
[0172] Step 5: The copper sheet on the second receiving plate 2211 always keeps the blind hole facing down and is placed in an I-shape. The four sets of alignment posts 2213 move simultaneously in opposite directions to contact the blind hole in the copper sheet, thereby positioning the copper sheet by pushing the blind hole. Thus, the copper sheet always uses the alignment post 2213 as a reference. At the same time, the copper sheet is fixed by the action of the first clamping plate 2121 and the second pressing plate 2223.
[0173] Step 6: After the two sets of copper sheets are fixed, the copper sheet with the protrusion can move forward first and then vertically upward through the movement of the first docking part 32, and the copper sheet with the blind hole can also move forward first and then downward until the distance between the two copper sheets is the closest.
[0174] Step 7: Then, use the second docking part 33 to move the two sets of copper sheets towards each other until the copper sheets are aligned vertically, then stop moving.
[0175] Step 8. Finally, as the alignment rod 34 passes through the clearance groove 22211, force is applied to the copper sheet with the blind hole, pressing it downwards so that it completely overlaps with the copper sheet with the protrusion. This allows the positions of the blind hole and the protrusion to be aligned with the alignment post 2213 and the locking plate 21145 as references, making the alignment more accurate.
[0176] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
