Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector processing equipment technology, and in particular to a general-purpose high-speed automatic pin insertion device. Background Technology
[0002] A connector, also known as a plug or socket, consists of a plastic component and pins. It is a device used to connect two active devices to transmit current or signals.
[0003] The assembly of connector pins mainly includes pin insertion and pin inspection processes. In the prior art, the pin insertion operation of connectors requires the use of a pin insertion machine to insert the pins into the plastic part to form a connector.
[0004] The existing pin insertion machines are of two models: YCI-28 and YCI-76. Their working principle is as follows: the main shaft is rotated by a motor, and the cam on the main shaft can move the pins mounted on the pin insertion mold up and down to insert the pins. During operation, the pin insertion mold is in a relatively stationary state, and the plastic part slides to the pin insertion position through the inclined groove. Driven by the motor, the PIN pin is inserted into the plastic part, thereby completing the operation.
[0005] The invention with application number 201420867321.7 discloses a pin insertion mechanism for an FPC connector assembly machine. The working principle of the pin insertion device is as follows: a strip with pins is placed into the pin feeding channel, a fourth motor drives the first feeding wheel to rotate, the first feeding wheel conveys the strip downwards, a third motor drives the first cam and the second cam to rotate, the second cam rotates and drives the first clamping block and the second clamping block to move, thereby clamping and breaking off the pins. Then the first cam includes a drive push rod to move, pushing the pins into the glue seat, completing one pin insertion process; the above process is repeated until the glue seat is full of pins.
[0006] However, the aforementioned pin insertion mechanism cannot fully insert the pin into the rubber base. Generally, two methods are used with this mechanism. One method is to insert the pin and the prong together, which lengthens the raw material. However, after the pin is inserted, the prong needs to be cut off later. The second method is to break off the prong and insert the pin. However, since this method cannot fully push the pin into the needle hole, it can only play a pre-insertion role. Further riveting is required later to achieve a firm insertion. Summary of the Invention
