Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of connection seat assembly, and in particular to a strip-type upper cover assembly process. Background Art

[0002] The existing gold finger connector includes a seat body and an upper cover. During actual assembly, the upper covers are formed one by one by stamping, and then placed in a vibration plate. Then, they enter a rotating station through a linear material belt, and are finally clamped by a contoured clip and inserted into a positioned seat body. The corresponding terminals are pre-installed on the seat body. In this process, each upper cover needs to be independently manufactured in advance, and the upper cover needs to be selected in a direction in the vibration plate. It is easy to reverse and get stuck, which causes the entire assembly to stagnate, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a material strip type upper cover assembly process, which produces the upper cover by means of a material strip and then winds it, then feeds the upper cover through the material strip into the assembly production line of the connecting seat, and then aligns and assembles the upper cover and the seat body, which makes the assembly quick and efficient.

[0005] a The upper cover is arranged on the upper cover feeding assembly line by means of a material belt;

[0006] b. On the upper cover feeding automation equipment, the upper cover is clamped and separated from the material belt by the cutting mechanism;

[0007] c The seat body is pre-placed in the seat body positioning cavity, and the external linear drive mechanism drives the upper cover toward the seat body so that the upper cover is installed at the corresponding position of the seat body;

[0008] d. Then, the assembled seat body is removed, and the next seat body is positioned in the seat body positioning cavity for continuous assembly operation.

[0009] It is further characterized by:

[0010] The cutting frequency of the upper cover is synchronized with the frequency of the seat body being placed in the seat body positioning cavity, ensuring a stable and reliable assembly rhythm;

[0011] The upper cover is formed into a material roll by winding during production. The upper cover is located at the center of the material strip in the width direction of the material roll, and two adjacent upper covers are arranged at equal intervals, which ensures that when the material strip moves at an equal step length, the step cutting of the cutting mechanism can reliably cut the upper cover off from the material strip, and the material strip cut off by the upper cover is rolled up by the reeling mechanism at the rear, ensuring the assembly continuity of the entire process;

[0012] The upper cover falls into the upper cover positioning cavity after being punched and the upper cover positioning cavity is provided with a clamping mechanism to ensure that the position of the upper cover is stable and reliable;

[0013] A connecting mechanism is arranged at the rear of the clamping mechanism, a guide block is arranged at the rear of the connecting mechanism, the guide block is supported on the linear slide rail, a linear driving mechanism is connected to the rear end of the guide block, the driving direction of the linear driving mechanism is arranged parallel to the linear slide rail, and the linear driving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to drive the upper cover to be installed at the corresponding position of the seat body to form a connecting seat;

[0014] The linear drive mechanism is specifically a linear cylinder, and the output end of the linear cylinder is connected to the end of the guide block through a first floating joint, which ensures that when the linear movement displacement is excessive, the first floating joint offsets the corresponding linear displacement to ensure that no crushing occurs;

[0015] The cutting mechanism specifically includes a fixed lower cutter and an upper movable cutter body, the upper movable cutter body includes a cutting cylinder, a movable block, a lower convex positioning needle, and a cutter assembly, the lower output end of the cutting cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable block, the lower part of the movable block is provided with a lower convex positioning needle and a cutter assembly, the lower convex positioning needle is used to fix the position of the upper cover through the fixed material belt hole, and the cutter assembly and the lower cutter assembly are used to cut the upper cover from the material belt;

[0016] The cutting cylinder and the moving block are connected via a second floating joint to ensure stable and reliable cutting;

[0017] The entire feed flow is tilted upward at a certain angle to ensure that the cut upper cover falls into the upper cover positioning cavity of the clamping mechanism due to gravity and is clamped to the covering position by the clamping mechanism. Then the clamping mechanism loosens the non-covering end of the upper cover and resets it.

[0018] After adopting the present invention, the cutting mechanism cuts the upper cover from the material strip, and then the upper cover falls into the preset upper cover positioning cavity; the seat body is pre-placed in the seat body positioning cavity, and the external linear drive mechanism drives the upper cover toward the seat body so that the upper cover is installed in the corresponding position of the seat body; then the connecting seat is taken out, and the seat body is positioned in the seat body positioning cavity again, and continuous assembly operations are performed; the material strip type upper cover assembly process eliminates the complex and most difficult vibration disk selection direction, making the assembly quick and efficient.

[0026] c The seat body 40 is pre-placed in the seat body positioning cavity, and the external linear drive mechanism drives the upper cover 10 toward the seat body 40 so that the upper cover 10 is installed at the corresponding position of the seat body 40;

[0027] d. Then, take out the connecting seat, and position the seat body 40 in the seat body positioning cavity again to perform continuous assembly operations.

[0028] In specific implementation, the cutting frequency of the upper cover 10 is synchronized with the frequency of the seat body 40 being placed in the seat body positioning cavity, ensuring that the assembly beat is stable and reliable;

The upper cover 10 is located at the center of the material strip 20 in the width direction of the material roll, and two adjacent upper covers 10 are arranged at equal intervals, which ensures that when the material strip 20 moves at an equal step length, the step cutting of the cutting mechanism can reliably cut the upper cover 10 from the material strip 20. The material strip 20 cut off by the upper cover 10 is rolled up by the reeling mechanism at the rear, ensuring the assembly continuity of the entire process;

[0030] After being punched, the upper cover 10 falls into the upper cover positioning cavity, and the upper cover positioning cavity is provided with a clamping mechanism 50 to ensure that the position of the upper cover 10 is stable and reliable;

The guide block 70 is supported by a linear slide rail 80, and a linear drive mechanism 90 is connected to the rear end of the guide block 70. The driving direction of the linear drive mechanism 90 is arranged parallel to the linear slide rail 80. The linear drive mechanism 90 drives the clamping mechanism 50 to drive the upper cover 10 to be installed at the corresponding position of the seat body 40 to form a connecting seat; in a specific embodiment, the linear drive mechanism 90 is specifically a linear cylinder, and the output end of the linear cylinder is connected to the end of the guide block 70 through a first floating joint 100, which ensures that when the linear movement displacement is excessive, the first floating joint 100 offsets the corresponding linear displacement to ensure that no crushing occurs;

[0033] The cutting cylinder 120 and the moving block 130 are connected via a second floating joint 160 to ensure stable and reliable cutting;

[0034] The entire feed flow is tilted upward at a certain angle to ensure that the cut upper cover 10 falls into the upper cover positioning cavity of the clamping mechanism 50 due to gravity and is clamped to the covering position by the clamping mechanism 50. Then the clamping mechanism 50 loosens the non-covering end of the upper cover 10 and resets it.

[0035] Its working principle is as follows: the cutting mechanism cuts the upper cover from the material strip, and then the upper cover is clamped; the seat body is pre-placed in the seat body positioning cavity, and the external linear drive mechanism drives the upper cover toward the seat body so that the upper cover is installed in the corresponding position of the seat body; then the seat body with the upper cover installed is taken out, and the next seat body is positioned in the seat body positioning cavity again for continuous assembly operations; the material strip type upper cover assembly process eliminates the complex and most difficult vibration plate selection direction, making assembly quick and efficient.
