[0060] The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention are described as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are only provided for reference and description and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a terminal crimping machine for crimping a terminal (not shown) onto a wire (not shown). The terminal crimping machine 100 of the present invention comprises: a machine body 1, a plurality of wire diameter adapting mechanisms 2 and a terminal automatic feeding device 4, preferably also comprising a terminal adapting mechanism 3.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the body 1 includes a plurality of shells and a plurality of body components. Among them, one of the shells 11 is provided with a mounting portion 113, and the mounting portion 113 can be any structure that can be used to mount the wire diameter adapter mechanism 2. In this embodiment, a cavity is used as an example for description; as for one of the plurality of body components 15, it is disposed within the aforementioned plurality of shells, but in other embodiments not shown in the figure, the body component 15 can also be disposed outside the aforementioned plurality of shells, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0063] The housing 11 is further provided with an adjusting member 12 and a first driven member 13, and preferably also provided with a driven body 14. The present invention does not limit the structural type of the adjusting member 12, the first driven member 13 and the driven body 14, as long as the first driven member 13 and the driven body 14 can be driven synchronously or asynchronously by the adjusting member 12, and in this embodiment, the following paragraph is used as an example for explanation.

[0064] The adjusting member 12 can be a knob and rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The adjusting member 12 is also connected to a driving portion 121, which can be a driving gear. The first driven member 13 can be a rack and slidably connected to the housing 11. The first driven member 13 is also provided with a driven alignment portion 131, which can be a notch. The driven body 14 can be a rotating wheel and rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The driven body 14 is also connected to a second driven member 141, which can be a driven gear. The driving portion 121 (which may be a driving gear as mentioned above) is meshed with the first driven member 13 (which may be a rack as mentioned above) and the second driven member 141 (which may be a driven gear as mentioned above). Therefore, when the user rotates the adjustment member 12, the driving portion 121 can synchronously drive the first driven member 13 and the second driven member 141 to move, so that the first driven member 13 moves or moves laterally with the driven alignment portion 131 relative to the housing 11, and the second driven member 141 rotates with the driven body 14 relative to the housing 11, and the driven body 14 rotates as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of linkage arms 142 are respectively provided in a fan-shaped manner at the two end surfaces (the two circular opposite ends of the aforementioned rotating wheel). In other words, the driven body 14 will rotate together with the plurality of linkage arms 142 .

[0065] The present invention does not limit how to arrange the first driven member 13, the second driven member 141 and the driving portion 121 in the housing 11. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a first slide groove 111 and a recessed groove 112 are provided on the inner wall surface of the housing 11 as an example for explanation. The first slide groove 111 is connected between the recessed groove 112 and the aforementioned mounting portion 113. The first driven member 13 can be slidably accommodated in or slidably connected to the first slide groove 111, and the second driven member 141 and the driving portion 121 can be rotatably arranged side by side in the recessed groove 112.

[0066] The housing 11 is further provided with a plurality of body alignment portions 114, which may also be a notch (same as the aforementioned passive alignment portion 131). Figure 3 As shown, each body alignment portion 114 is arranged in a straight line along the moving direction or the lateral direction of the first driven member 13. However, in other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the housing 11 of the present invention can also achieve the same purpose and effect without the body alignment portion 114, for example: the aforementioned driven alignment portion 131 is changed from a notch to a convex key, and the assembly portion 22 provided on the wire diameter adaptation mechanism 2 described later is changed from a convex key to a notch (or a concave groove).

[0067] The wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 can be a fixture and can be installed in the installation portion 113. After installation, the wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 can be detachably fixed to the body 1 by means of magnetic adsorption or snap fastening. The wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 has a wire insertion portion 21 (see Figure 4 ). Each wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 can insert a plurality of wires with different wire diameters. A set of connecting members 22 is respectively arranged at different positions on each wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 corresponding to each of the aforementioned machine body alignment parts 114. In this embodiment, it is as follows Figure 3 As shown, a connecting portion 22 is provided at the most side (e.g., the rightmost) of the top side of the first wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 to correspond to the machine body alignment portion 114 at the most side (e.g., the rightmost) of the mounting portion 113; the setting positions of the connecting portions 22 of other wire diameter adapting mechanisms 2 correspond to other machine body alignment portions 114 respectively. The connecting portion 22 can be a convex key so that it can be Figure 6 It should be noted that if the user installs other wire diameter adapter mechanisms 2 whose setting positions of the assembly part 22 do not correspond to each other on the installation part 113, the assembly part 22 will be blocked by the first actuated member 13 and cannot be installed, thus having a foolproof effect.

[0068] In this way, the user only needs to rotate the adjustment member 12 outside the body 1 to control the first actuated member 13 to move horizontally to the desired position, so that the actuated alignment portion 131 only corresponds to and is connected to the selected body alignment portion 114. At this time, among all the wire diameter adaptation mechanisms 2, only one wire diameter adaptation mechanism 2 can be inserted corresponding to the actuated alignment portion 131 and the selected body alignment portion 114 that are already connected to each other, because only the assembly portion 22 on this wire diameter adaptation mechanism 2 is set at a position corresponding to the actuated alignment portion 131 that has been moved horizontally. Therefore, when the user installs this wire diameter adaptation mechanism 2 corresponding to the installation portion 113, the assembly portion 22 will be inserted into the actuated alignment portion 131 and the body alignment portion 114 that are already connected to each other during the installation process. In short, the user only needs to rotate the adjustment member 12 outside the body to select a wire diameter adaptation mechanism 2 to be installed, that is, the wire diameter of the wire to be used can be selected to adapt to the terminal. Therefore, the present invention has the effect of adapting and adjusting the wire diameter.

[0069] Terminal adapter mechanism 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the terminal with a diameter corresponding to the selected wire diameter can be transported. The terminal adapter mechanism 3 has a terminal end channel 35, and the terminal end channel 35 can be adjusted to control the size of its channel; therefore, when the aforementioned passive body 14 is driven to rotate, the terminal adapter mechanism 3 will be driven or pushed according to the different rotation angles of the passive body 14 to generate a terminal channel 35 with a corresponding size.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the terminal automatic feeding device 4 is used to automatically feed the terminal to the terminal adapter mechanism 3. The present invention does not limit how the terminal automatic feeding device 4 automatically feeds. In this embodiment, the automatic feeding device 4 has a feeding port 41 (see Figure 2 ), the feed port 41 is correspondingly connected to the terminal channel 35.

[0071] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the terminal adapter mechanism 3 includes: a first slider 31 and a second slider 32, and preferably also includes a fixing seat 33. The aforementioned terminal channel 35 is formed between the first slider 31 and the second slider 32. The terminal adapter mechanism 3 can adjust the terminal channel 35 of the required size only by sliding the first slider 31 relative to the body 1; in this embodiment, the terminal adapter mechanism 3 adjusts the terminal channel 35 of the required size by sliding both the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 relative to the body 1.

[0072] The fixing seat 33 has a top surface 331, a bottom surface 332 and a plurality of side surfaces, each of which is connected around the periphery of the top surface 331 and the periphery of the bottom surface 332. The present invention does not limit the fixing method of the fixing seat 33. In this embodiment, one of the side surfaces (not marked with component symbols, hereinafter referred to as the fixed side surface) of the fixing seat 33 is fixed to the inner wall surface of the housing 11, and one of the side surfaces 333 of each side surface is opposite to the fixed side surface. The first slider 31 and the second slider 32 are both slidably connected to the fixing seat 33, and after the sliding connection, the two sliders (31, 32) are arranged side by side on the side surface 333 or in front of the side surface 333.

[0073] In detail, the first slider 31 has or is connected to a first linked portion 311, the second slider 32 has or is indirectly connected to a second linked portion 321, and the first linked portion 311 and the second linked portion 321 are located side by side on the top surface 331, and each linkage arm 142 connected to one end surface of the driven body 14 corresponds to the first linked portion 311, and each linkage arm 142 connected to the other end surface of the driven body 14 corresponds to the second linked portion 321. The top surface 331 of the fixing seat 33 is provided with a plurality of elastic components 336, and these elastic components 336 are elastically supported between the two connected portions (311, 321) and the top surface 331, so as to facilitate the elastic reset of the two connected portions (311, 321).

[0074] The indirect connection method between the second slider 32 and the second linked portion 321 is not limited by the present invention. In this embodiment, the following description is used as an example to illustrate: the second slider 32 is connected to an extension portion 322, and a bridging portion 323 is connected between the extension portion 322 and the second linked portion 321, so that the extension portion 322 is located below the bottom surface 332.

[0075] The present invention does not limit the sliding connection between the two sliders (31, 32) and the fixed seat 33. In this embodiment, the following description is used as an example for explanation: the top surface 331 of the fixed seat 33 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 335, and the first linked portion 311 and the second linked portion 321 are respectively connected with at least two insertion rods 34, and these insertion rods 34 are slidably inserted (i.e., slidably inserted) corresponding to each insertion hole 335, and each insertion rod 34 connected to the second linked portion 321 is also connected to the extension portion 322, that is, the two ends of each insertion rod 34 are respectively connected to the second linked portion 321 and the extension portion 322. Therefore, the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 can both form the required sliding connection by sliding the insertion rod 34 into the insertion hole 335.

[0076] The present invention does not limit the manner in which the bridging portion 323 is connected between the extension portion 322 and the second linked portion 321, as long as the two opposite ends of the bridging portion 323 can pass through the top surface 331 and the bottom surface 332 respectively. In this embodiment, a second sliding groove 334 is provided on the aforementioned fixed side surface of the fixing seat 33, and the bridging portion 323 is slidably connected to the fixing seat 33 by being embedded in the second sliding groove 334.

[0077] The terminal passage 35 is formed between the bottom edge of the first slider 31 and the top edge of the second slider 32 which are spaced apart from each other.

[0078] Thus, the user only needs to rotate the adjustment member 12 outside the body 1 to drive the driven body 14 to rotate to a desired angle via the second driven member 141, so that the linkage arm 142 arranged at this angle drives or pushes the first linked part 311 alone, or at least two linkage arms 142 arranged at this angle drive or push the first linked part 311 and the second linked part 321 respectively, so that at least one of the two sliders (31, 32) can slide relative to the fixing seat 33 (slide along the side surface 333 or parallel to the side surface 333), thereby adjusting the size of the terminal channel 35 adapted to the wire diameter to allow terminals with corresponding calibers to pass through. Therefore, the present invention has an adaptive adjustment effect of the terminal diameter.

[0079] The driving portion 121 in the present invention can drive the first driven member 13 and the second driven member 141 simultaneously and synchronously. However, in other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the driving portion 121 can also be set as two or can selectively drive (non-simultaneously, asynchronously) the first driven member 13 and the second driven member 141 separately through clutch control.

[0080] The present invention does not limit the manner in which the wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 is detachably fixed to the housing 11, and an example is given below: Figure 8 As shown, a magnetic member 23 may be provided on the wire diameter adapting mechanism 2, so when the user installs the wire diameter adapting mechanism 2 on the mounting portion 113, the magnetic member 23 will be magnetically adsorbed on the body component 15 provided at the corresponding position and fixed; Fig. 9 As shown, two buckle claws 24 may be provided on two opposite sides of the wire diameter adaption mechanism 2, each buckle claw 24 having a pressing portion 241 and a buckle portion 242, and the housing 11 having two buckle grooves 115 corresponding to the two buckle portions 242, so that each buckle portion 242 in a flat state buckles into the corresponding buckle grooves 115 and is locked, and each buckle portion 242 is unlocked by withdrawing from each buckle groove 115 after the user pinches each pressing portion 241 with two fingers. In addition, two recesses 116 are provided on the outer wall surface of the housing 11 for the user's two fingers to insert into, so as to facilitate pinching and pressing the two pressing portions 241.

[0081] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
