Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a core misalignment sorting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are components frequently encountered by electronic engineers. Their function is to bridge gaps in circuits or connect isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function. Connectors generally consist of a core and terminals inserted into it. Due to their small size and high precision, the demand is high, leading to an increasing need for highly automated, integrated connector assembly equipment to improve processing efficiency.

[0003] While improving the automation of connector assembly equipment, improving the assembly stability of connectors has become an increasingly important issue in order to avoid the adverse effects caused by misfitting of the core and terminal due to equipment speed error, resistance error and other problems. The common method is to reduce the operating speed of the equipment to reduce errors and to stop the production line in time to adjust it in order to ensure the terminal mating accuracy. However, this greatly affects the production efficiency and causes problems such as low output and insufficient capacity.

[0004] Therefore, considering the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a core misalignment sorting mechanism that provides stronger core stability and higher assembly efficiency during connector assembly.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a core misalignment sorting mechanism, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0007] A glue core misalignment sorting mechanism includes a conveying track, a lifting and limiting device, and a one-way lever assembly. The conveying track includes an upper track and a lower track that are parallel and misaligned vertically. The lifting and limiting device is located between the upper track and the lower track to transfer the glue core. The one-way lever assembly is movably installed on the lower track.

[0008] The lifting and limiting device includes a fixed block fixedly installed on one side of the conveying track and a sliding block slidably installed on the side of the fixed block close to the conveying track. A lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the other side of the fixed block. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the sliding block and drives the sliding block to move up and down. A misalignment block that moves up and down with the sliding block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block. There is a horizontal distance between the upper track and the lower track. The length of the misalignment block is adapted to the horizontal distance.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed block near the sliding block, and a sliding stop is slidably provided at the lower end of the connecting block. The position of the sliding stop is adapted to the misalignment block. A glue core channel is opened in the misalignment block, and a strip hole is opened at the upper end of the misalignment block to avoid the sliding stop when the misalignment block rises and to allow the sliding stop to be inserted into the glue core channel. The sliding stop performs horizontal reciprocating motion between the upper and lower tracks.

[0010] Preferably, a slide rail parallel to the lower track is fixed on the lower track, and a one-way paddle assembly is installed on the slide rail and reciprocates along the slide rail; the one-way paddle assembly includes multiple main bodies movably arranged on the lower track, with each main body evenly spaced and moving synchronously, and a paddle hook for one-way limiting is installed on the main body.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the material-feeding hook is Z-shaped, with one side being the contact side that contacts the main body and the other side being the non-contact side that does not contact the main body. There is a smooth transition section between the contact side and the non-contact side. The material-feeding hook is hinged to the main body through a hinge shaft, which is located near the smooth transition section.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the feeding hook is connected to the non-contact side of the main body via a spring so that it can be reset after being rotated under force.

[0013] Preferably, a material hook near one end of the one-way paddle assembly on the upper track is positioned to match the position of the misalignment block when the one-way paddle assembly moves along the slide rail to the upper track and reaches the end of its movement path, and the top of the material hook is inserted into the glue core channel to drive the glue core to move.

[0014] Preferably, a sensor is installed on the sliding block, and the sensor is connected to the lifting cylinder so that when the rubber core is sensed to enter the misalignment block, the lifting cylinder is driven to control the misalignment block to descend and adapt to the lower track.

[0015] Preferably, the upper side of the upper track near the lifting limit device is open, and an openable inspection device is provided at the open end to facilitate real-time observation of the movement status of the rubber core.

[0016] The glue core misalignment sorting mechanism of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The glue core misalignment sorting mechanism of the present invention uses a track with upper and lower misalignment and a lifting limit device for limit coordination, and a one-way paddle assembly for glue core transfer to ensure that only one glue core is delivered to the corresponding work station at a time. No manual intervention is required, the degree of automation is high, the glue core movement position is more precise, the stability is stronger when plugging in terminals, and the reasonable structure enables the assembly equipment to achieve a faster assembly speed while maintaining stability, resulting in higher processing efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A rubber core misalignment sorting mechanism includes a conveying track 100, a lifting limit device 200 and a one-way paddle assembly 300. The conveying track 100 includes an upper track 110 and a lower track 120 that are parallel and misaligned. The lifting limit device is located between the upper track and the lower track to transfer the rubber core. The one-way paddle assembly is movably installed on the lower track 120.

[0027] The lifting limit device 200 includes a fixed block 210 fixedly disposed on one side of the conveying track 100 and a sliding block 220 slidably disposed on the side of the fixed block near the conveying track. A lifting cylinder 230 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the fixed block. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the sliding block and drives the sliding block to move up and down. A misalignment block 221 that moves up and down with the sliding block is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the sliding block. There is a horizontal distance between the upper track and the lower track. The length of the misalignment block is adapted to the horizontal distance.

[0028] A connecting block 240 is also fixedly connected to the side of the fixed block 210 near the sliding block 220. A sliding stop 241 is slidably provided at the lower end of the connecting block. The position of the sliding stop is adapted to the misalignment block. A glue core channel 231 is provided in the misalignment block. A strip hole 222 is provided at the upper end of the misalignment block to avoid the sliding stop 241 when the misalignment block rises and to allow the sliding stop to be inserted into the glue core channel. The sliding stop moves horizontally back and forth between the upper and lower tracks.

[0029] A slide rail parallel to the lower track is fixed on the lower track 120. A one-way paddle assembly is installed on the slide rail and reciprocates along the slide rail. The one-way paddle assembly 300 includes multiple main bodies 310 movably arranged on the lower track 120. The main bodies are evenly spaced and move synchronously. A paddle hook 320 for one-way limiting is installed on the main body.

[0030] The bottom of the material hook 320 is Z-shaped, with one side being the contact side that contacts the main body and the other side being the non-contact side that does not contact the main body. There is a smooth transition section between the contact side and the non-contact side. The material hook is hinged to the main body through a hinge shaft 330, which is located near the smooth transition section.

[0031] The bottom of the material hook 320 is connected to the non-contact side of the main body via a spring so that it can be reset after being rotated under force.

[0032] A material hook 320 near one end of the one-way paddle assembly 300 on the upper rail 110 is positioned to match the position of the misalignment block 221 when the one-way paddle assembly moves along the slide rail to the upper rail and reaches the end of its movement path. The top of the material hook is inserted into the glue core channel 231 to drive the glue core to move.

[0033] A sensor is installed on the sliding block 241. The sensor is connected to the lifting cylinder 230 so that when the rubber core is sensed to enter the misalignment block, the lifting cylinder is driven to control the misalignment block to descend and adapt to the lower track.

[0034] The upper side of the upper track 110 near the lifting limit device 200 is open, and an openable inspection device 400 is provided at the open part to facilitate real-time observation of the movement status of the rubber core.

[0035] The working principle of the glue core misalignment sorting mechanism of the present invention is as follows: the glue core is first moved by the lifting and limiting device 200 of the upper rail 110, and the lifting cylinder 230 drives the sliding block 220 to move so as to drive the misalignment block 221 to rise to the position that matches the upper rail. After a single glue core enters the misalignment block 221, the sliding stop block 241 limits the glue core. After the sensor detects that the glue core is in place, the lifting cylinder drives the misalignment block 221 to fall to the position that matches the lower rail 120. At this time, the material hook 320 of the one-way paddle assembly 300, which is closest to the upper rail 110, moves to the bottom of the misalignment block 221 and the top of the material hook is inserted into the glue core channel 223. Then the one-way paddle assembly moves in the direction of the lower rail and drives the glue core into the lower rail, thereby achieving the purpose of high speed and driving only one glue core into the station at a time.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by using a track with staggered upper and lower positions in conjunction with the limiting device of the lifting limit, and by using a one-way paddle assembly for core transfer, it is ensured that only one core is transported to the corresponding work station at a time, without the need for manual intervention. This results in a high degree of automation and more precise core movement position, stronger stability when inserting terminals, and a reasonable structure that allows the assembly equipment to achieve faster assembly speed while maintaining stability, thus increasing processing efficiency.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
