[0002] In the electronics and power industry, electrical connection adapters are generally used to connect electronic devices in order to transmit current and collect signals.

[0003] Chinese patent CN210517254U discloses an adapter comprising at least two adapter pieces. Each adapter piece includes a transition section and input and output interfaces respectively disposed at both ends of the transition section. One of the interfaces has a Y-shaped opening, consisting of two cantilever arms arranged opposite each other. Each cantilever arm includes an open section and a connecting section disposed at the bottom of the open section. One end of the connecting section is connected to the transition section. A contact protrusion is provided on the inner side of the open section. The distance between the contact protrusions between the oppositely arranged cantilever arms is less than the thickness of the product inserted into the cantilever arm. The adapter also includes a housing, and the adapter pieces are fixed by the housing, thereby fixing the adapter pieces together through the external housing.

[0062] Example:

[0063] refer to Figures 1-12 An automated converter assembly device includes: a frame 1;

[0064] The material feeding mechanism 110 is mounted on the frame 1;

[0065] The cutting device 120 is located on one side of the feeder 110 and is used to cut the adapter strip. The lower side of the cutting device 120 is connected to the drop rail 200 for receiving the cut adapter strip.

[0066] Indexing plate 2 is mounted on frame 1 and rotatably connected to the unloading track 200. A magazine 21 communicating with the unloading track 200 is mounted on indexing plate 2.

[0067] Material distribution track 5 is connected to magazine 21;

[0068] A transfer mechanism is located on one side of the magazine 21, which forces the transfer piece into the dispensing track 5;

[0069] The pressing mechanism 140 is used for pressing the adapter plate and the housing;

[0070] The material distribution mechanism is located on one side of the material distribution track 5, which forces the transfer piece in the material distribution track 5 into the pressing mechanism 140.

[0071] The outer casing feeding mechanism 160 is located on one side of the frame 1.

[0072] The outer shell guide rail 170 is connected to the outer shell feeding mechanism 160 to provide guidance for the outer shell during movement. The outer shell guide rail 170 is also connected to the pressing mechanism 140.

[0073] Material pusher block 1701 is disposed on one side of housing guide rail 170, and pushes housing to move unidirectionally in housing guide rail 170;

[0074] The adapter sheet material is fed to the cutting device 120 by the material feeding mechanism 110. The cutting device 120 cuts the adapter sheet material, thereby cutting off individual adapter sheets from the material. During the cutting process, the cut adapter sheets fall into the dropping track 200 and then enter the magazine 21 on the indexing plate 2 through the dropping track 200. Through the action of the transfer mechanism, the adapter sheets are transported from the magazine 21 to the distribution track 5. Under the action of the distribution mechanism, the adapter sheets in the distribution track 5 are moved to the pressing mechanism 140. The outer shell is transported to the outer shell guide track 170 by the outer shell feeding mechanism 160. Under the action of the material feeding block 1701, the outer shell is moved to the pressing mechanism 140. Then the pressing mechanism 140 presses the adapter sheets and the outer shell together, thereby completing the assembly of the converter.

[0075] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The material feeding mechanism 110 is located on one side of the cutting device 120. The material feeding mechanism 110 includes a material track 1101, a material pressure plate 1102 bolted to the material track 1101, a dial wheel 1103 located on the material track 1101, and a rotation drive 1104 that drives the dial wheel 1103 to rotate. The rotation drive 1104 can be a motor. The material track 1101 is used to guide the position of the material track. The material track 1101 is connected to the cutting device 120, so that the material track enters the cutting device 120 through the material track 1101. The material pressure plate 1102 is used to limit the position of the material track on the material track 1101, so that the material track moves more stably on the material track 1101. The dial wheel 1103 has dot-shaped protrusions extending from its periphery. The dot-shaped protrusions cooperate with the holes on the side of the material track, so that when the dial wheel 1103 rotates, it drives the material track to move toward the cutting device 120.

[0076] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cutting device 120 includes a punching bracket 1201 bolted to the frame 1, a lower punching die 1202 fixedly connected to the punching bracket 1201, an upper punching die 1203 slidably engaged with the punching bracket 1201 and corresponding to the lower punching die 1202, and a punching drive 1204 that drives the upper punching die 1203 to reciprocate. The upper punching die 1203 is connected to the punching drive 1204, which can be a motor. The punching drive 1204 is connected to an eccentric cam. The upper die 1203 reciprocates, and the adapter piece is cut off from the strip by the combined action of the upper die 1203 and the lower die 1202. The lower die 1202 has a blanking hole that matches the adapter piece. The blanking hole is connected to the blanking track 200, so that the cut adapter piece falls directly into the blanking track 200. The shape inside the blanking track 200 matches the shape of the adapter piece, so that the adapter piece can move orderly and stably along the blanking track 200.

[0077] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A material blocking component is provided on one side of the material dropping track 200 to prevent the adapter piece from falling from the material dropping track 200, and a material pressing component is provided on the other side of the material dropping track 200 to press the adapter piece in the material dropping track 200 toward the magazine 21.

[0078] The material blocking assembly includes a material blocking drive 2101 facing the material dropping track 200 and a material blocking block 2102 connected to the material blocking drive 2101. The material dropping track 200 has a material blocking opening for inserting the material blocking block 2102, so that the material blocking block 2102 is inserted into the material dropping track 200 through the material blocking opening and supports the falling adapter piece. In turn, the material blocking block 2102 blocks the subsequent falling adapter pieces into the material dropping track 200, thereby separating the adapter pieces by a certain number. The material blocking assembly is located in the upper part of the material dropping track 200, providing the moving space for the material pressing assembly.

[0079] The pressing assembly includes a pressing head 2201 facing the dropping track 200 and a pressing drive 2202 for driving the pressing head 2201 to move. The dropping track 200 is provided with a pressing notch 2001 that cooperates with the pressing head 2201, thereby facilitating the movement of the pressing head 2201 and making it easier for the pressing head 2201 to enter the dropping track 200 through the pressing notch 2001 and press the adapter piece in the dropping track 200 into the magazine 21.

[0080] The width of the pressing notch 2001 is smaller than the width of the adapter piece, so that the adapter piece will not fall out of the pressing notch 2001;

[0081] The material stop drive 2101 and the material pressing drive 2202 can be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or oil cylinders, etc.

[0082] After a certain number of adapter pieces fall into the feeding track 200, the stop drive 2101 controls the stop block 2102 to enter the feeding track 200, thereby blocking subsequent adapter pieces from falling in. The adapter pieces below the stop block then enter the magazine 21 along the feeding track 200. To ensure that the adapter pieces entering the magazine 21 fit tightly together, the pressing head 2201 presses the adapter pieces to ensure that they fit tightly together. When the indexing plate 2 rotates, the magazine is equipped with... After the magazine 21 for the connecting piece is rotated 90 degrees, the new magazine 21 without the connecting piece is connected to the dropping track 200. The stop block 2102 is no longer in the dropping track 200, so that the previously separated connecting piece falls into the new magazine 21. Through the cooperation of multiple magazines 21 on the indexing plate 2, the working efficiency is further improved. A motor can be connected to one side of the indexing plate 2 to drive the rotation of the indexing plate 2, thereby improving the rotation efficiency and the accuracy of the rotation angle of the indexing plate 2.

[0083] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A transfer track 4 is bolted to the frame 1. One end of the transfer track 4 is connected to the magazine 21 and the other end is connected to the material distribution track 5, so that the transfer piece is transferred from the magazine 21 into the material distribution track 5 through the transfer mechanism.

[0084] The transfer mechanism includes a first transfer assembly disposed on one side of the magazine 21 and a second transfer assembly disposed on one side of the transfer rail 4. The first transfer assembly includes a first transfer block 2301 that slides with the magazine 21 to force the adapter piece to move toward the transfer rail 4 and a first transfer drive 2302 that drives the first transfer block 2301 to move. The side of the magazine 21 is provided with a first clearance notch 22 that cooperates with the first transfer block 2301, so that the first transfer block 2301 enters the magazine 21 through the first clearance notch 22 and pushes the adapter piece in the magazine 21 into the transfer rail 4.

[0085] The second transfer assembly includes a second transfer block 2401 that slides and engages with the transfer track 4 to force the transfer piece to move toward the distribution track 5, and a second transfer drive 2402 that drives the second transfer block 2401 to move. The sides of the transfer track 4 are provided with second clearance notches 41 that engage with the second transfer block 2401, so that the second transfer block 2401 enters the transfer track 4 through the second clearance notches 41 and pushes the transfer piece in the transfer track 4 into one end of the distribution track 5.

[0086] refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5-7 A third clearance notch is provided on one side of the material distribution track 5. The material distribution mechanism includes a material distribution block 1501 that cooperates with the third clearance notch and drives the adapter plate to move in the material distribution track 5, a first material distribution drive 1502 that drives the material distribution block 1501 to move in the same direction as the transfer track 4, and a second material distribution drive 1503 that drives the first material distribution drive 1502 to move in the same direction as the material distribution track 5. The second material distribution drive 1503 is mounted on the frame 1, and the first material distribution drive 1502 is mounted on the second material distribution drive 1503. The material distribution track 5 and the transfer track 4 are arranged in an L-shape.

[0087] The material distribution block 1501 enters the material distribution track 5 through the third clearance notch, thereby pushing the transfer piece in the material distribution track 5 toward the pressing mechanism 140. The cooperation of the first material distribution drive 1502 and the second material distribution drive 1503, which are arranged in different directions, provides the material distribution block 1501 with displacement in the front-back and left-right directions, thereby providing the material distribution block 1501 with reciprocating motion. The material distribution track 5 and the transfer track 4 are arranged in an L-shape, which can control the number of transfer pieces entering the material distribution track 5 each time. By adjusting the width of the material distribution track 5, the number of transfer pieces entering the material distribution track 5 each time can be controlled. Then, the material distribution block 1501 transfers the transfer pieces that have entered the material distribution track 5, and then, with the cooperation of the second transfer component, a new fixed number of transfer pieces enter the material distribution track 5.

[0088] The first material distribution drive component 1502 and the second material distribution drive component 1503 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an oil cylinder, etc.

[0089] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The pressing mechanism 140 includes a lower pressing bracket 1401 bolted to the frame 1, a lower driving member 1402 disposed below the housing guide rail 170, a lower push rod 1403 connected to the lower driving member 1402 for lifting the housing, an upper driving member 1404 disposed above the housing guide rail 170 and the lower driving member 1404 connected to the upper driving member 1405 for pressing down the adapter piece. The lower driving member 1402 is bolted to the frame 1. The housing guide rail 170 has a hole that allows the lower push rod 1403 to pass through, so that the lower push rod 1403 can pass through the housing guide rail 170 and lift the housing in the housing guide rail 170, and face the adapter piece pushed out by the material distribution rail 5. Then, under the combined action of the lower push rod 1405 and the lower push rod 1403, the adapter piece and the housing are engaged together.

[0090] In order to make the contact between the lower push rod 1403 and the lower pressure rod 1405 and the corresponding housing and adapter plate more stable, a limiting protrusion is extended at the opposite end of the lower push rod 1403 and the lower pressure rod 1405 to better support the corresponding housing and adapter plate.

[0091] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 In order to make it easier to position the overlapping and bonded adapter pieces and the outer shell in the corresponding positions, so as to facilitate the engagement between the two, an end block 130 is provided at the end of the material distribution track 5. The end block 130 has a block clearance hole 1301 that allows the adapter pieces in the material distribution track 5 to reach the position directly below the pressure rod 1405. The size of the block clearance hole 1301 is exactly matched with the width of the overlapping and bonded adapter pieces, so as to facilitate the adapter pieces to be in the designated position.

[0092] To prevent the adapter piece in the latching block clearance hole 1301 from falling out, a latching plate 1302 is provided on the side of the latching block clearance hole 1301 facing the side of the adapter piece. The end latching block 130 has a hole for the latching plate 1302 to enter the latching block clearance hole 1301. The latching plate 1302 enters the latching block clearance hole 1301 through the hole and presses down on the multiple adapter pieces that are tightly fitted together in the latching block clearance hole 1301 to stabilize the position of the adapter pieces. When the pressing rod 1405 presses down on the adapter piece, the latching plate 1302 releases the adapter piece. The position of the latching plate 1302 can be controlled by a cylinder.

[0093] The lower drive component 1402 and the upper drive component 1404 can be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or oil cylinders, etc.

A gripper bracket 1604 is bolted to one side of the outer shell feeding track 1602, and the outer shell gripper 1603 is mounted on the gripper bracket 1604. An outer shell pushing block 1605, which cooperates with the outer shell guide track 170 and is used to push the outer shell toward the outer shell guide track 170, is bolted to one side of the outer shell guide track 170. The outer shell pushing block 1605 is connected to an outer shell pushing drive 1606 that controls the reciprocating motion of the outer shell pushing block 1605. The outer shell pushing drive 1606 can be a cylinder.

[0095] The outer shell feeding vibratory plate 1601 transports the outer shell to the outer shell feeding track 1602, and then the outer shell gripper 1603 clamps the outer shell in the outer shell feeding track 1602 and places it into the outer shell guide track 170. Then, the outer shell that enters the outer shell guide track 170 is pushed towards the inside of the outer shell guide track 170 by the action of the outer shell pushing block 1605.

[0096] The horizontal and vertical movement of the housing gripper 1603 can be adjusted by the cooperation of multiple cylinders.

[0097] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 A linear guide 1702 is bolted to one side of the housing guide rail 170. The material pusher block 1701 slides with the linear guide rail 1702 via a slider. The material pusher block 1701 is connected to a material pusher drive component 1703 via the slider. The material pusher drive component 1703 is mounted on the frame 1. The material pusher block 1701 extends into the housing guide rail 170 and contacts the housing inside the housing guide rail 170, thereby further pushing the housing to move within the housing guide rail 170. At the same time, the material pusher block 1701 can deliver the housing and the assembled converter to a designated position on the housing guide rail 170. The material pusher drive component 1703 drives the displacement of the material pusher block 1701. The material pusher drive component 1703 can be a linear module, hydraulic cylinder, or other components that drive the linear displacement of the material pusher block 1701.

[0098] refer to Figure 6 , Figures 8-10A visual inspection device 6 for inspecting the appearance of the assembled converter is provided on one side of the housing guide rail 170. The visual inspection device 6 can be a CCD inspection camera. In order to facilitate the visual inspection device 6 to inspect the adapter in the housing guide rail 170, a notch can be opened on the side of the housing guide rail 170 at the corresponding position, so as to facilitate the external inspection device to inspect the appearance of the assembled converter. It is mainly used to detect whether the housing of the converter is cracked after assembly and whether the number of its adapter pieces meets the requirements.

[0099] A sorting assembly 180 is provided on one side of the appearance inspection device 6. The sorting assembly 180 includes a lifting rod for lifting out the appearance-defective converters from the housing guide rail 170, a discharge rod 1802 for discharging the lifted converters from the housing guide rail 170, a discharge drive 1803 for controlling the reciprocating motion of the discharge rod 1802, and a defective product chute 1804 for receiving the converters discharged by the discharge rod 1802. The housing guide rail 170 has a lifting notch that cooperates with the lifting rod, so that the lifting rod passes through the housing guide rail. The converter is lifted upwards through the lifting notch at the bottom of the guide rail 170 and then pushed out of the guide rail 170 through the lifting notch on the upper side of the guide rail 170. After the defective converter is pushed out of the guide rail 170, the discharge rod 1802 on one side applies force from the side of the converter, thereby pushing the defective converter into the defective chute 1804 on the opposite side. The defective chute 1804 is connected to the defective collection box, so the defective converter enters the defective collection box.

[0100] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 A nozzle 3 is provided on one side of the sorting component 180. The nozzle 3 is positioned facing the inside of the housing guide rail 170. The nozzle 3 is connected to the ion wind, thereby removing dust from the converter in the housing guide rail 170 and neutralizing the static electricity carried on the converter.

[0101] refer to Figure 13The end of the housing guide rail 170 is provided with a feeding assembly 190. The feeding assembly 190 includes a receiving plate 1901 provided at the end of the housing guide rail 170, a receiving groove 1902 opened on the receiving plate 1901 for carrying the converter and communicating with the end of the housing guide rail 170, and a receiving drive 1903 for controlling the reciprocating movement of the receiving plate 1901. The receiving drive 1903 is provided on the frame 1. The finally assembled converter enters the receiving groove 1902 on the receiving plate 1901 through the housing guide rail 170. Under the control of the receiving drive 1903, the multiple receiving grooves 1902 on the receiving plate 1901 are aligned with the housing guide rail 170 in sequence, so that the converter enters the receiving groove 1902 in an orderly manner. The receiving drive 1903 can be a linear module.

[0102] To facilitate the removal of the converter from the receiving plate 1901, a material-retrieving suction claw is provided above the unloading assembly 190. Multiple material-retrieving suction claws can be arranged in parallel, so that the converter on the receiving plate 1901 can be removed at the same time and transferred to the next workstation or collection device.
