Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of connector manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to a quick-release adapter connector forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Precision ribbon cable connectors consist of two parts: a ribbon cable harness and a plastic housing. The ribbon cable harness serves to conduct and protect current or signals, while the housing provides the connection. A wire harness generally refers to a low-voltage electronic wire assembly used to connect two or more isolated electronic circuits, enabling the various functions of each electronic component. A wire harness typically consists of wires and terminals. During wire harness manufacturing, after the terminals are crimped at both ends, the housing needs to be inserted.

[0003] For example, patent application number 201921103407.1, entitled "A Wire Insertion Mechanism for an Automatic Double-Headed Terminal Insertion Wire Machine," discloses a wire insertion mechanism for such a machine. The mechanism includes a housing. The upper surface of the housing includes a wire feeding and cutting module, a wire pulling module, a terminal crimping module, a wire assembling module, a casing insertion module, a feeding module, and a conveying module. The wire feeding and cutting module is installed on the upper surface of the housing, near the rear corner. The wire pulling module is installed on the upper surface of the housing, close to the wire feeding and cutting module. Two sets of terminal crimping modules are included. This invention, through the design of the wire feeding and cutting module, wire pulling module, wire assembling module, casing insertion module, feeding module, and conveying module, can quickly and effectively insert wires into casings. This process can be performed on multiple wires simultaneously, enabling mass production and significantly improving the machine's production efficiency. It avoids the time-consuming and labor-intensive problems associated with the original single-wire operation method.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the insertion modules in traditional terminal housing devices are mostly fixed. To improve the stability of the insertion modules, designers use positioning pins, pre-tightening screws, etc., to fix the insertion modules on the machine. However, the types of housings in the insertion modules vary according to production needs. In traditional production processes, when the type of housing needs to be changed, operators need to perform tedious disassembly and assembly procedures. The various parts of the insertion module, such as guide rails and push structures, are not integrated on the same module. Disassembly and assembly require disassembly one by one, and then replacement with appropriate guide rails and push structures. This leads to a decrease in the overall connector production efficiency and affects the company's connector production capacity, which urgently needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release adapter connector forming device, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art where, when the type of housing needs to be changed, operators need to perform cumbersome disassembly and assembly procedures, and then replace the various parts in the housing module with suitable guide rails and push structures, resulting in a decrease in the overall connector production efficiency and affecting the connector production capacity of enterprises.

Compared with the prior art, when the housing type needs to be changed, the operator needs to perform a cumbersome disassembly and assembly process, replacing various parts of the insertion module, and then replacing the appropriate guide rails and pushing structures, which leads to a decrease in the overall connector production efficiency and affects the company's connector production capacity, the quick-release adapter connector forming device provided in this invention allows the housing insertion component to be easily disassembled and assembled according to production needs, effectively improving the replacement efficiency of different types of housings, thereby shortening the downtime of the overall quick-release adapter connector forming device, and thus improving the production efficiency of the connector forming device and increasing the company's production capacity.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1-8As shown, a quick-release adapter connector forming apparatus is provided, including a base 100, a wire transfer mechanism 200, a terminal crimping mechanism 300, a housing mechanism 400, and a wire processing mechanism 500. The wire transfer mechanism 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to transport wires to a preset position. The terminal crimping mechanism 300 is disposed on the base 100 and is located on the moving path of the moving end of the wire transfer mechanism 200. The terminal crimping mechanism 300 is used to engage terminals with the ends of the wires output by the wire transfer mechanism 200. The housing mechanism 400 is disposed on the base 100 and is located on the moving path of the wire transfer mechanism 200. On the moving path of the mobile end, the insertion mechanism 400 drives the terminal on the wire to be inserted into the preset housing; the wire processing mechanism 500 is disposed on the base 100 and located on the moving path of the mobile end of the wire transfer mechanism 200. The wire processing mechanism 500 is used to strip the insulation layer of the wire end output by the wire transfer mechanism 200 and cut the wire to a preset length; wherein, the insertion mechanism 400 includes a housing feeding assembly 410 and a plugging assembly 420. The housing feeding assembly 410 is disposed on the base 100, and the plugging assembly 420 is detachably connected to the output end of the housing feeding assembly 410 on the base 100.

[0032] In this embodiment, the terminal crimping mechanism 300 is a terminal crimping device. The terminal crimping device is a technically mature and established structure, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. For details, please refer to the relevant content in application number CN201910682865.3 entitled "Terminal Crimping Device and Terminal Crimping Method".

[0033] When it is necessary to replace different types of housings for insertion, the operator first unlocks the insertion component 420, drives the insertion component 420 to move away from the base 100, replaces the insertion unit of the corresponding housing type on the outside of the insertion component 420, and then drives the insertion component 420 back onto the base 100, so that the input end of the insertion component 420 aligns with the output end of the housing feeding component 410, and then locks it to complete the installation. Compared with the prior art, when the housing type needs to be changed, the operator needs to perform a cumbersome disassembly and assembly process, replacing various parts of the insertion module, and then replacing the appropriate guide rails and pushing structures, which leads to a decrease in the overall connector production efficiency and affects the company's connector production capacity. In the quick-release adapter connector forming device provided by this embodiment, the housing insertion component 420 can be easily disassembled and assembled according to production needs, effectively improving the replacement efficiency of different types of housings, thereby shortening the downtime of the overall quick-release adapter connector forming device, and thus improving the production efficiency of the connector forming device and increasing the company's production capacity.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the housing feeding assembly 410 further includes a vibratory feeder 411 and a linear vibratory feeder 412. The vibratory feeder 411 is located on one side of the machine base 100. The plug-in assembly 420 includes a support plate 421, a locking component 422, and a housing assembly component 423. The housing assembly component 423 and the linear vibratory feeder 412 are both disposed on the support plate 421. The locking component 422 is disposed on the machine base 100. The support plate 421 is detachably connected to the locking end of the locking component 422. When the locking component 422 loosens the support plate 421, the support plate 421 can drive the housing assembly component 423 to move outward from the machine base 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to change the type of housing, the material in the vibratory feeder 411 and the linear vibratory feeder 412 also needs to be emptied. The housing assembly component 423 and the support plate 421 are integrated. According to different types of housing, the operator can install the housing assembly components 423 of different types on the support plate 421 of the same shape in advance. When the housing assembly components 423 of different types are reset on the machine base 100 through the corresponding support plate 421, the input ends of all the housing assembly components 423 are at the same height position, so as to ensure that the input end of the reset housing assembly component 423 can quickly match the output end of the linear vibratory feeder 412, further improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the plug-in component 420.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the locking component 422 further includes a fixed base 424, a rotating base 425, and a drive source 426. The fixed base 424 is disposed on the base 100. The rotating base 425 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 424, and one end of the rotating base 425 can extend above the base 100 and overlap the support plate 421. The output end of the drive source 426 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating base 425, and the other end of the drive source 426 is rotatably connected to the base 100.

[0037] In this embodiment, the top of the base 100 is planar, the fixed seat 424 is disposed inside the base 100, and the base 100 is provided with a clearance hole for the rotating seat 425 to pass through. The middle position of the rotating seat 425 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 424. One end of the rotating seat 425 extends through the clearance hole to the outside of the base 100 and is located above the edge of the support plate 421. The other end of the rotating seat 425 is driven by the drive source 426, causing the end of the rotating seat 425 near the support plate 421 to move towards the support plate 421 and then overlap the edge of the support plate 421. The drive source 426 continuously applies force, thereby causing the rotating seat 425 to limit and lock the support plate 421. In this embodiment, the driving source 426 is a cylinder. When the driving source 426 drives the rotating seat 425 to reset, the end of the rotating seat 425 can be retracted and hidden in the clearance hole to prevent interference with the movement of the support plate 421.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the base 100 is further provided with limiting blocks 427 for limiting the movement of the bearing plate 421 along a preset path. Two sets of limiting blocks 427 form a limiting track for the movement of the bearing plate 421. Using limiting blocks 427 helps prevent the bearing plate 421 from shifting during movement, improving installation accuracy. The end of the bearing plate 421 is provided with a handle for the operator to push and pull, further improving ease of operation.

[0039] Furthermore, the wire transfer mechanism 200 includes a linear module 210 and a wire feeding assembly 220. The linear module 210 is mounted on the base 100, and the wire feeding assembly 220 is located at the output end of the linear module 210. The moving path of the output end of the linear module 210 sequentially passes through the insertion housing mechanism 400, the terminal crimping mechanism 300, and the wire processing mechanism 500. The linear module 210 is a linear slide, and the wire feeding assembly 220 is a roller wire feeder.

[0040] The linear module 210 drives the wire feeding assembly 220 to move in the direction of the wire processing mechanism 500. The wire processing mechanism 500 peels off the end insulation layer of the wire. The linear module 210 then drives the wire feeding assembly 220 to move onto the terminal crimping mechanism 300. The terminal crimping mechanism 300 attaches the terminal to the end of the wire. The linear module 210 then drives the wire after crimping the terminal to move towards the insertion assembly 420. The insertion assembly 420 inserts the housing of the housing feeding assembly 410 onto the wire, thereby completing the assembly of the front end housing of the wire. In this embodiment, the wire processing mechanism 500 is a cutting blade holder.

[0041] like Figures 1-5As shown, further, there are two sets of both the insertion shell mechanism 400 and the terminal crimping mechanism 300. The two sets of insertion shell mechanisms 400 and the two sets of terminal crimping mechanisms 300 are centrally symmetrically distributed on the base 100. The quick-release adapter connector forming device also includes a wire pulling mechanism 700 and a wire segment transfer mechanism 800. The wire pulling mechanism 700 is disposed on the base 100 and located on one side of the wire processing mechanism 500. The wire segment transfer mechanism 800 is disposed on the base 100 and is centrally distributed with the wire transfer mechanism 200. The wire pulling mechanism 700 is used to pull the wire with the terminal attached to a preset length. The wire segment transfer mechanism 800 is used to transfer the wire of the preset length to another set of terminal crimping mechanisms 300 and insertion shell mechanisms 400, so that the other end of the wire is crimped with a terminal and inserted with a shell.

[0042] In this embodiment, the use of two sets of insertion shell mechanisms 400 and two sets of terminal crimping mechanisms 300 can achieve the integrated processing of the double-ended insertion shell process of the wire. Wires of the same preset length can be processed at both ends on the connector forming device provided by this invention, effectively improving the processing efficiency of double-ended connectors. The wire transfer mechanism 200 is used to transport the wire and the terminal crimping and insertion shell transfer at the front end of the wire, while the wire segment transfer mechanism 800 is used to receive the preset length of wire with terminals after being cut by the wire processing mechanism 500 and move the wire to another set of terminal crimping mechanism 300 and insertion shell mechanism 400. The insertion shell process at both ends of the wire shares the same set of wire processing mechanism 500, and the connector processing operates in an orderly and efficient manner, greatly improving the production efficiency of the connector.

[0043] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the quick-release adapter connector forming apparatus further includes a soldering mechanism 600, which is disposed at the end of the wire processing mechanism 500. The soldering mechanism 600 includes a flux pool, a solder pot, a solder scraping unit, and a soldering clamping assembly. The flux pool and the solder pot are sequentially disposed on one side of the wire processing mechanism 500. The soldering clamping assembly is disposed on the base 100. The solder scraping unit is disposed at the end of the solder pot. The soldering clamping assembly is used to transfer the wire output by the wire processing mechanism 500 through the flux pool and the solder pot in sequence. The solder scraping unit is used to scrape off the solder ash adhering to the surface of the solder pool in the solder pot.

[0044] In the quick-release adapter connector forming apparatus provided by the present invention, when the connector does not require double-ended insertion shell, the end of the wire away from the insertion shell needs to be tinned. The present invention integrates the tinning mechanism 600 into the base 100, which facilitates the rapid switching between the two operating modes of double-ended insertion shell and single-ended insertion shell, further improving the practicality of the quick-release adapter connector forming apparatus and adapting to the market demand of the industry.

[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the wire processing mechanism 500 further includes a tensioning and closing drive assembly 510, a wire stripping blade 520, and a wire cutting blade 530. The tensioning and closing drive assembly 510 is mounted on the base, and the number of output ends of the tensioning and closing drive assembly 510 is two sets, and the output ends of the two sets of tensioning and closing drive assemblies 510 can move relative to each other to open or close. The number of wire stripping blades 520 is two sets, and the two wire stripping blades 520 are respectively mounted on the output ends of the corresponding tensioning and closing drive assemblies 510. There are two sets of tangent blades 530, each set being disposed at a corresponding output end of the opening / closing drive assembly 510. The tangent blades 530 and stripping blades 520 are arranged side-by-side with a gap between them. The stripping blade 520 is used to strip the insulation layer from the end of the wire, and the tangent blades 530 are used to cut the wire to a preset length. When the two sets of output ends of the opening / closing drive assembly 510 close, the tangent blades 530 contact the wire before the stripping blades 520. In this embodiment, the two sets of output ends of the opening / closing drive assembly 510 move relative to each other in the vertical direction.

[0046] When the wire moves between the wire stripper 520 and the wire cutter 530, the two sets of output ends of the opening and closing drive assembly 510 move relative to each other and come closer together. Since the wire cutter 530 can contact the wire before the wire stripper 520, the wire cutter 530 first cuts the wire to a preset length, and then the wire stripper 520 peels off the corresponding wire insulation layer. Therefore, when the wire cutter 530 cuts the wire, the wire transfer mechanism can transfer the wire to the terminal crimping mechanism 300 for the next round of terminal crimping operation. At the same time, the wire pulling mechanism can pull the wire of the preset length so that the other end of the wire of the preset length can be crimped and the housing assembled. The terminals and housings of two adjacent sets of wires can be assembled synchronously, which effectively improves work efficiency. The structure of the wire stripping blade 520 and the wire cutting blade 530 is flexible. For example, in this embodiment, the wire stripping blade 520 includes a front wire stripping cutter 521 and a rear wire stripping cutter 522. There are two sets of both the front wire stripping cutter 521 and the rear wire stripping cutter 522. The two sets of front wire stripping cutters 521 are respectively and correspondingly arranged at the output end of the tensioning drive assembly 510. The two sets of rear wire stripping cutters 522 are respectively and correspondingly arranged at the output end of the tensioning drive assembly 510. The wire cutting blade 530 is spaced between the front wire stripping cutter 521 and the rear wire stripping cutter 522.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, further, in order to improve the terminal crimping efficiency, the terminal crimping mechanism 300 includes a crimping component 310 and a terminal detection component 320.
