[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation technology and the rapid pace of mobile phone upgrades, mobile phone data cables are also being upgraded accordingly. After being wound into a circle, the data cable is then wrapped and pressed with a piece of paper. The existing data cable relies on manual labor to fix the direction of the paper and the circular shape, which is time-consuming and costly, and the appearance is not aesthetically pleasing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a material gripper and a product positioning mechanism that automatically shapes the data cable after it has been wound up and then places it into the corresponding box.

The material is placed in the center area of ​​the pair of clamping rods and the pair of grippers. The material is placed on the upper surface of the material support plate. The piston end of the upward push cylinder is fixed to the base through a connector.

[0008] The upper part of the mounting plate of the vertical mounting bracket is fixed with a downward push cylinder, and the lower part of the mounting plate is fixed with a gripping and shaping cylinder. The shaping sleeve is composed of two shaping half-sleeves joined together. The two drive ends of the gripping and shaping cylinder are respectively fixed with semi-annular shaping half-sleeves. The output end of the downward push cylinder is provided with a connecting plate. The bottom of the bottom upright of the connecting plate is fixed with a pressure plate. The front end of the connecting plate is fixed with a hook plate displacement cylinder. The front output position of the hook plate displacement cylinder is fixed with a hook plate lifting cylinder. The lower output end of the hook plate lifting cylinder is fixed to the top of the hook plate through a connector.

[0009] The pressure plate is arranged in the shaping center area of ​​the two shaping half-sets. The pressure plate is provided with an avoidance notch groove corresponding to the position of the hook plate. The avoidance notch groove ensures the lifting and lateral movement of the hook part of the hook plate.

The left and right platform clamping cylinders and the front and back platform clamping cylinders are adjusted to fix the front, back, left and right directions. Then, the material is lifted into the space area of ​​the shaping sleeve. The grabbing and shaping cylinder drives the shaping sleeve to clamp and shape the data cable. The hook plate adjusts and fixes the small end position of the inner ring of the data cable through the lifting and displacement cylinders. After the shaping and clamping are in place, the entire material picking claw mechanism is transferred to the top of the box containing the data cable through the external transfer mechanism. Then, the hook plate disengages from the inner ring of the data cable. Then, the downward pushing cylinder drives the pressure plate to put the data cable group into the box. It automatically shapes the shape of the data cable after winding and then puts it into the corresponding box, which makes the shaping quick and efficient and the appearance beautiful.

The second material sensor 170 is used to sense whether there is material inside the shaping half-sleeve 80, so that the hook plate 110 and the pressure plate 90 can perform operations.

[0036] Its working principle is as follows: The data cable is placed on the upper surface of the material support plate. After the first material sensor detects the data cable, it automatically adjusts the left-right and front-back platform clamping cylinders to fix the data cable's direction. Then, the material is lifted into the space of the shaping sleeve. After the second material sensor detects the data cable, it drives the shaping sleeve to clamp and shape the data cable. The hook plate adjusts and fixes the small end position of the inner ring of the data cable using the hook plate lifting cylinder and hook plate displacement cylinder. After the shaping and clamping are in place... An external transfer mechanism (not shown in the diagram, but can be directly fixed to the vertical mounting frame) transfers the entire material handling gripper mechanism to the top of the external data cable box. Then, the hook plate is driven by the hook plate lifting cylinder and the hook plate displacement cylinder to disengage from the inner coil of the data cable. Afterwards, the downward pushing cylinder drives the pressure plate to put the data cable assembly into the box. Then, the positioning mechanism and the material handling gripper mechanism are reset and ready for the next operation. It automatically shapes the shape of the data cable after it is wound up and then puts it into the corresponding box, which makes the shaping quick and efficient and the appearance beautiful.
