Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of connector processing equipment, and specifically relates to a pin insertion machine. Background Technology

[0002] The production of printed circuit board connectors for communication terminals typically requires a pin insertion machine, which cuts the signal pins from the strip material and inserts them into the base. Current pin insertion machines generally use a punching method on a die to remove excess material during connector processing, then use upper and lower clamps to hold the signal pins and insert them into the base. Using the existing pin insertion machine structure results in poor stability of the signal pins. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem of poor signal pin stability caused by the existing pin insertion machine's method of cutting off excess material by punching holes in a die and then clamping the signal pin with upper and lower clamps to insert it into the base, this invention provides a pin insertion machine in which the cutting is changed from punching holes to blanking. The cut signal pin does not need to be assembled into the product by clamps, but is directly inserted into the base after being fitted onto the plug, resulting in higher signal pin stability.

[0066] This invention discloses a pin insertion machine for processing connectors. The connector includes a base and signal pins. During connector processing, the pin insertion machine first... Figure 19 Cut out the following from the strip 9 shown: Figure 20 The signal pin 91 shown is then inserted into the base. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 , 21 As shown, the pin insertion machine of this solution includes a material support plate 4, a feeding assembly, a die assembly, a pad assembly, a plug assembly, and a drive component. The material support plate is provided with signal pin dropping holes 41 and excess material dropping holes 42; the feeding assembly is used to convey the strip material onto the material support plate, the strip material including signal pins 91 and excess material 92 excluding the signal pins 91, and feeding holes 93 are evenly spaced on the strip material to allow for... Figure 10As shown, the feeding assembly conveys the strip material onto the support plate, aligning the signal pin 91 on the strip material with the signal pin dropping hole 41. The die assembly includes a pin cutting component corresponding to the signal pin dropping hole and a scrap cutting component corresponding to the scrap dropping hole; the pad assembly includes a signal pin receiving connector for receiving the signal pins cut by the pin cutting component; the plug assembly includes a plug for clamping the signal pin on the signal pin receiving connector to insert the signal pin into the base; the driving component drives the die assembly and the pad assembly to move along a guide rod 5 and drives the plug assembly to move in a direction perpendicular to the guide rod to realize the operations of signal pin cutting, signal pin clamping, and signal pin insertion into the base. This pin insertion machine needs to be used in conjunction with a base conveying device, which is another device whose base position corresponds to the plug assembly position. This device is not shown in this solution.

[0067] The frame 99 of the pin insertion machine provides support and fixation for the entire equipment. The material support plate 4, material conveying assembly, punching die assembly, pad assembly, plug assembly and drive components are all placed on the frame 99.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the material conveying assembly comprises a material conveying plate 73, a first pressure plate 74, a gear 71, and a drive motor 72. The material conveying plate 73 has a material conveying trough, into which the conveying material is placed. The bottom of the trough has a material conveying hole and a material detection hole. The first pressure plate 74 is positioned above the material conveying trough to press and limit the material conveying. Around the gear 71 are protrusions 711 that engage within the material conveying holes 93 during material conveying. The arc length between two adjacent protrusions 711 is equal to the distance between two adjacent conveying holes 93 on the material. Some of the protrusions 711 are placed within the material conveying holes. A material detection optical fiber 75 is installed within the material detection hole, which detects the transmission cycle of the signal needle by detecting the material conveying hole 93.

[0069] like Figure 4-7As shown, the die assembly includes a stamping template 11, a stripper plate 12, a material positioning component 13 disposed on the stripper plate 12, a signal needle cutter 14, a scrap material cutter 15, a first elastic component 16, and a limiting rod 17. One end of the signal needle cutter 14 and the scrap material cutter 15 is fixed to the stamping template 11, and the other end is placed in a cutting hole on the stripper plate 12. The limiting rod 17 connects the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12, and either the stamping template 11 or the stripper plate 12 can slide along the limiting rod within a certain length. The first elastic component 16 is placed between the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12 and pushes them to move away from each other. Guide holes are provided on both the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12, and the parts are fitted onto a guide rod through the guide holes to move along the guide rod 5 under the drive of a driving component. The material positioning component 13, signal needle cutting component 14, and excess material cutting component 15 are connected in a detachable manner to facilitate the replacement of different molds according to different specifications of material. The first elastic component 16 can be a spring. Under normal circumstances, the first elastic component 16 is compressed, and the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12 maintain the maximum distance. The cutting ends of the signal needle cutting component 14 and the excess material cutting component 15 are placed in the cutting holes on the stripper plate 12. During the downward movement of the stamping template 11, it will drive the stripper plate 12 downward. After contacting the signal needle to be cut, it continues to move downward. At this time, the stamping template 11 continues to move downward, the spring continues to be compressed, the distance between the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12 decreases, and the cutting ends of the signal needle cutting component 14 and the excess material cutting component 15 protrude from the cutting holes. The continued downward movement of the stamping template 11 can realize the cutting of the signal needle and the excess material. After the stamping template 11 moves upward, under the force of the spring, the distance between the stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12 increases, and the cutting ends of the signal needle cutter 14 and the scrap cutter 15 retract into the cutting holes, thus achieving the unloading of the signal needle and the scrap. The stamping template 11 and the stripper plate 12 need to maintain an adjustable spacing design, such as... Figure 7 As shown, one end of the limiting rod 17 is threadedly connected to the unloading plate 12, and the stamping template 11 keeps the limiting rod 17 and the unloading plate 12 relatively stationary during the downward movement of the stamping template 11; the other end is placed on the stamping template 11 and is provided with a limiting ring structure, so that the stamping template 11 can move along the limiting rod 17 between the limiting ring and the unloading plate 12.

[0070] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of signal needle cutting, such as Figure 8 , 9 As shown, a positioning hole 43 can be provided on the material support plate 4, the position of which corresponds to the position of the strip positioning member 13, so that the strip positioning member 13 can pass through the feed hole 93 on the strip and be placed in the positioning hole 43. In order to improve the stability of the strip and prevent the strip from deforming during cutting, a second pressure plate 44 can be provided on the material support plate 4. A conveying groove is provided on the second pressure plate 44 to limit the conveying of the strip.

[0071] To enhance the stability of the signal pin clamping, such as Figure 3 As shown, the signal needle connector 21 is provided with at least one protrusion 22 for placement between two adjacent needles of the signal needle; the plug 31 includes at least two pairs of clamping pieces 32, with two adjacent pairs of clamping pieces placed on both sides of a protrusion 22. Figure 3 The example shown illustrates a signal pin connector 21 with two protrusions positioned between two pins on either side of the signal pin. The plug 31 has three pairs of clamping tabs 32, which clamp the signal pin from both sides and the center. When the plug assembly clamps the signal pin, it abuts against the protrusions 22, ensuring the signal pin reliably enters between the clamping tabs 32.

[0072] Specifically, the driving component includes a rotating shaft 61, a driving mechanism 62, a turntable assembly, a first driving rod 63, a second driving rod 64, and a third driving rod 65. The driving mechanism 62 can be driven by a motor. The turntable assembly is fixed on the rotating shaft 61, and the turntable assembly is provided with a first cam curve ring, a second cam curve ring, and a third cam curve ring. To simplify the structure of the turntable assembly, the turntable assembly adopts the following... Figure 1 , 10 The structure of the two turntables shown in Figure 11 includes a first turntable 67 and a second turntable 68. Any two of the first, second, and third cam curve rings are respectively arranged on both sides of the first turntable 67, that is, three cam curve rings can be set using two turntables. The first turntable 67 and the second turntable 68 can be specifically designed as follows: Figure 2 The cam structure shown can be used, or a structure with grooved rings around the shaft of the turntable can be adopted.

[0073] A rotating shaft is provided on the first drive rod 63, and both ends of the first drive rod 63 can rotate around the rotating shaft. One end of the first drive rod 63 is provided with a first sliding component that slides on the first cam curve ring, and the other end is provided with a second sliding component that can move along the slide groove on the die assembly. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 , 16 As shown, a slide groove is provided on the stamping template 11, and the second sliding component is placed in the slide groove on the stamping template 11. The first drive rod 63 can rotate around the rotating shaft under the drive of the first cam curve ring, so as to realize the up and down movement of the stamping template 11.

[0074] The second drive rod 64 is provided with a rotating shaft, and both ends of the second drive rod 64 can rotate around the rotating shaft. One end of the second drive rod 64 is provided with a third sliding component that slides on the second cam curve ring, and the other end is provided with a fourth sliding component that can move along the slide groove on the pad assembly.

[0075] like Figure 10 , 16 As shown, the third drive rod 65 is placed on the guide rail 66 and can move along the guide rail. One end of the third drive rod 65 is provided with a fifth sliding component 69 that slides on the third cam curve ring, and the other end is fixed to the plug assembly. The guide rail 66 is fixed on the frame and is perpendicular to the movement direction of the die assembly and the pad assembly. When the entire pin insertion machine is in the reset state, the guide rail and the plug assembly are placed between the die assembly and the pad assembly, so that the movement direction of the plug assembly is perpendicular to the movement direction of the die assembly and the pad assembly. Under the limitation of the guide rail, the third drive rod drives the plug assembly to move linearly. The first to fifth sliding components can all be implemented using rollers or the like to reduce friction loss.

[0076] For example, such as Figures 12 to 14 The diagram illustrates an example where the first and second cam curve rings are positioned on opposite sides of the first turntable 67, and the third cam curve ring is positioned on the second turntable 68. The first cam curve ring drives the third drive rod 65, the second cam curve ring drives the pad assembly, and the third cam curve ring drives the die assembly. Of course, the positions and order of the first, second, and third cam curve rings can be arbitrarily set.

[0077] The first cam curve loop, the second cam curve loop, and the third cam curve loop each include at least a first thread segment, a second thread segment, a third thread segment, a fourth thread segment, and a fifth thread segment that correspond to each other and are connected sequentially. For example... Figures 12 to 15 As shown, in the first thread segment, the position of the plug assembly remains unchanged, while the die assembly and the pad assembly move towards each other to clamp the signal pin on the signal pin blanking hole; in the second thread segment, the position of the plug assembly remains unchanged, while the die assembly and the pad assembly simultaneously move towards the plug assembly to complete the blanking of the signal pin and the cutting of the waste material, and to make the position of the signal pin receiving end of the pad assembly correspond to the position of the plug assembly; in the third thread segment, the positions of the die assembly and the pad assembly remain unchanged, while the plug assembly moves towards the pad assembly to clamp the signal pin on the signal pin receiving end; in the fourth thread segment, the plug assembly first remains unchanged, then the die assembly and the pad assembly simultaneously move away from the plug assembly, and then the plug assembly continues to move towards the pad assembly, completing the pin insertion and resetting, and resetting the die assembly and the pad assembly.

[0078] Preferably, a holding thread segment can be added at the end of the first thread segment L1, after the die assembly and pad assembly clamp the signal pin. This holding thread segment keeps the die assembly, pad assembly, and plug assembly in the same position. The second thread segment L2 can be divided into two segments: a cutting thread segment L21 and a feeding thread segment L22. The cutting thread segment L21 keeps the plug assembly in the same position while the die assembly and pad assembly move down simultaneously to cut the signal pin and excess material. The feeding thread segment L22 keeps the plug assembly in the same position while the die assembly and pad assembly move down simultaneously to transfer the signal pin to the corresponding position on the plug. The moving speed of the cutting thread segment L21 is less than that of the feeding thread segment L22. The synchronous movement of the die assembly and pad assembly to the corresponding position on the plug ensures that the signal pin is effectively placed on the signal pin receiver, preventing the signal pin from being carried away during the upward movement of the die assembly. The fourth thread segment L4 moves the die assembly up to the reset state and holds it, moves the pad assembly down to the reset state and holds it, moves the plug assembly from one side of the pad assembly to the other side to complete the pin insertion, and then retracts it to the reset state.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the driving effects of the first thread segment, the second thread segment, the third thread segment, and the fourth thread segment can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 15 As shown, S1, S2, and S3 represent the displacement curves of the plug assembly, the pad assembly, and the die assembly, respectively. The X-axis represents the time length for completing one pin insertion, and the Y-axis represents the displacement of the die assembly, the pad assembly, and the plug assembly relative to the pin insertion machine in the reset state.

[0080] To achieve status detection of the pin insertion machine, such as Figure 22 As shown, a light-shielding plate 81 and a detection device 82 for detecting the light-shielding plate are provided on the rotating shaft 61. The detection device 82 can be implemented using a miniature photoelectric switch. When the light-shielding plate is placed inside the detection device 82, the detection device 82 outputs a signal, indicating that the plug is in a reset state. When the light-shielding plate is switched from being placed inside the detection device 82 to being placed outside the detection device 82, it indicates that the plug begins to move. When the light-shielding plate is placed inside the detection device 82 again, it indicates that the plug is reset, and one signal needle dropping and insertion cycle is completed. At this time, the next signal needle transmission can be performed.

[0081] Furthermore, in order to achieve intelligent operation, the detection device 82, the driving component of the feeding assembly (i.e., the drive motor 72), the signal control terminal of the driving component, and the signal output terminal of the fiber optic cable for material detection are connected to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the drive motor 72 and the driving component according to the output signals of the detection device 82 and the fiber optic cable for material detection. That is, after completing one signal needle dropping and insertion cycle, the controller controls the feeding assembly to deliver a signal needle to the signal needle dropping hole 41, and then controls the driving component to complete the next signal needle dropping and insertion operation.

[0082] To enhance the stability of the clamping signal pins between the pad assembly and the die assembly, such as Figure 17 , 18 As shown, the pad assembly includes a signal needle holder 21, a movable block 23 for fixing the signal needle holder 21 and slidable along the guide rod, and a second elastic member 24. The second elastic member 24 has a force to push the movable block 23 towards the die assembly. The second elastic member 24 can be implemented using a spring. A groove is provided on the movable block 23, and the other end of the fourth sliding member is placed in the groove on the movable block 23. When the second drive rod 64 rotates, it drives the movable block 23 to move the signal needle holder 21 up and down to achieve the clamping and receiving of the signal needle. With the above-described drive assembly structure, the spring enhances the stability of the pad assembly and the die assembly in clamping the signal needle, while also improving the reliability of the contact between the cam curve ring and the fourth sliding member, and reducing the vibration amplitude generated during the control process. The signal needle holder 21 and the movable block 23 are detachably connected to facilitate the replacement of different signal needle holders 21.

[0083] The pin insertion machine using this solution employs a cam structure composed of two turntables as the drive component. This design is simple, easy to adjust, and easy to maintain. The cutting process is completed by a mold, ensuring cutting quality and guaranteeing mold life.

[0084] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
