Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic terminal crimping, and particularly refers to an FFC wire single - head terminal crimping and general assembly device. Background Art

[0002] The FFC flexible flat cable is a new type of data cable made of PET insulating material and extremely thin tinned flat copper wire, which is laminated through a high - tech automated equipment production line. It has the advantages of being flexible, bendable and foldable at will, thin in thickness, small in volume, simple in connection, convenient in disassembly, and easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI), etc. This kind of cable is mainly applicable to the connection between moving parts and the main board inside the computer host, between boards (PCB to PCB), and for miniaturization. Currently, most of the connecting wires between the print head and the computer main board in many printers, audio transmission lines, liquid crystal display lines, video driver lines, internal lines of the computer host, plotter lines, signal transmission technology products, and connections between boards use this kind of FFC ribbon cable.

[0003] According to customer requirements, the FFC wire coil is divided into segments of a specified length, and enough length is reserved between each segment for cutting the copper foil section. In subsequent processing, the customer cuts the FFC wire into small segments from the copper foil section and crimps terminals at both ends to facilitate the insertion of the FFC wire into the connector. In traditional subsequent processing of FFC wires, generally, workers cut the FFC wires into the specified length manually and crimp the terminals manually. During this process, since manual cutting usually measures the length of the FFC wire manually and observes with the naked eye, there is a large error in the cut FFC wires, resulting in a high defective rate, increasing the enterprise cost. Moreover, manual terminal crimping requires arranging materials and docking the FFC wires, with low efficiency, high labor intensity, and great potential safety hazards.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor of the present invention proposes the following technical solutions. Summary of the Invention
