[0042] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] In the related art, the 5G communication electrical accessories generally include a connector shell and a connection terminal. The connector shell has two plug-in surfaces set back to back, and the plug-in surfaces have a long side end and a short side end. The connector shell also has an upper mounting hole and a lower mounting hole. The upper mounting hole and the lower mounting hole respectively penetrate the two plug-in surfaces. The upper mounting hole and the lower mounting hole need to be plugged into the connection terminal respectively. The length direction of the opening of the lower mounting hole is parallel to the short side end of the plug-in surface, and the length direction of the opening of the upper mounting hole is parallel to the long side end of the plug-in surface. When the connection terminal needs to be plugged in, two sets of terminal loading devices and plug-in devices need to be set up respectively. In this way, the setting cost of the assembly machine is high, the structure is complex, and the space occupied is large. The automatic assembly machine for electrical accessories for 5G communication can realize the quick insertion of two connection terminals into the connector shell in sequence through the cooperation of the plug-in device and the connector shell flipping device, and it can be realized by only using a set of plug-in device, terminal seat loading device and spring loading device. The setting cost is low, the structure is compact, and the space occupied by the device can be saved.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first direction corresponds to the X-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the left-right direction), the second direction corresponds to the Y-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the front-back direction), and the third direction corresponds to the Z-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the up-down direction).

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the automatic assembly machine for 5G communication electrical accessories shown in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a structural diagram of the insertion device shown in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the insertion station shown in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 It is a structural diagram of the connector shell flipping device shown in an embodiment of the present application; the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an automatic assembly machine for electrical accessories for 5G communications, including: a connector shell flipping device 100, an insertion device 200, a terminal seat loading device 300, a spring loading device 400 and a connector shell transferring device 500.

[0046] The following is a detailed description of the specific structure of the automatic assembly machine for electrical accessories for 5G communications.

[0047] The connector housing flipping device 100 is configured to drive the connector housing to switch between a vertical state and a horizontal state; the insertion device 200 includes an insertion component 230, and the insertion component 230 includes an insertion station 232. The insertion station 232 is arranged opposite to the connector housing flipping device 100, and the insertion station 232 can be moved toward or away from the connector housing flipping device 100 along a second direction; the terminal seat loading device 300 is configured to load the terminal seat to the insertion station 232; the spring clip loading device 400 is configured to load the spring clip onto the terminal seat of the insertion station 232; when the connector housing is in a vertical state, the insertion station 232 drives a completed assembled connector terminal to move toward the connector housing flipping device 100 and insert it into the connector housing; when the connector housing is in a horizontal state, the insertion station 232 drives another completed assembled connector terminal to move toward the connector housing flipping device 100 and insert it into the connector housing; the two connector terminals are relatively vertical.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the connector housing is loaded onto the connector housing flipping device 100 and is in a vertical state. At this time, the lower mounting hole of the connector housing is facing the connector terminal assembled on the insertion station 232. The insertion device 200 drives the insertion station 232 to insert the connector terminal into the lower mounting hole of the connector housing. Then, the connector housing flipping device 100 drives the connector housing to rotate, causing the connector housing to change from a vertical state to a horizontal state. At this time, the upper mounting hole of the connector housing is facing the connector terminal reassembled on the insertion station 232. The insertion device 200 drives the insertion station 232 again to insert the connector terminal into the upper mounting hole of the connector housing. During the entire assembly process, the connector housing flipping device 100 is used to achieve rapid switching of the connector housing state, and cooperates with the upper insertion device 200 to insert the connector terminal.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal seat loading device 300 may include a first moving seat, a first loading assembly and a first pushing assembly. The first moving seat is docked with the insertion station 232 to facilitate the terminal seat to be directly transferred from the first moving seat to the insertion station 232. The first loading assembly is docked with the first moving seat to realize the terminal seat being transferred from the first loading assembly to the first moving seat in sequence. The first loading assembly is a common loading mechanism for those skilled in the art and is not limited here. The first pushing assembly includes a first pushing cylinder and a first pushing block. The first pushing cylinder drives the first pushing block to make the first pushing block move in the first moving seat, thereby pushing the terminal seat, so that the terminal seat is transferred to the insertion station 232.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the spring piece loading device 400 may include a second moving seat, a pushing seat, a second loading assembly, a second pushing assembly, a third pushing assembly and a conveying assembly. The second loading assembly is used to load the spring pieces in sequence and load the spring pieces into the pushing seat. The second pushing assembly is used to push the spring pieces from the pushing seat to the second moving seat. The third pushing assembly is used to push the spring pieces from the second moving seat to the loading position of the second moving seat. The conveying assembly is used to absorb the spring pieces and transfer the spring pieces to the terminal seat of the insertion station 232.

[0051] Specifically, the second loading assembly is a loading mechanism commonly used by those skilled in the art and is not limited here.

[0052] The second pushing assembly may include a second pushing cylinder and a second pushing block. The second pushing cylinder drives the second pushing block to move in the pushing seat, thereby pushing the spring piece from the pushing seat to the second material transfer seat.

[0053] The third pushing assembly may include a third pushing cylinder and a third pushing block. The third pushing cylinder drives the third pushing block to move in the second material moving seat, pushing the spring from the second material moving seat to the loading position of the second material moving seat.

[0054] The transport assembly may include multiple sets of cylinders and sliders, thereby enabling the spring piece to be moved along the first direction to the terminal seat of the insertion station 232.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the connector shell transfer device can realize the transfer of the connector shell in the loading station, the connector shell flipping device 100 and the unloading station in sequence. The connector shell transfer device is a common transfer mechanism for those skilled in the art and is not limited here.

[0056] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The insertion device 200 also includes a base body 210 and a moving component 220. The base body 210 is arranged between the terminal seat loading device 300 and the spring clip loading device 400. The moving component 220 includes a first guide rail 221, a slide 222 and a first cylinder 223. The first guide rail 221 and the first cylinder 223 are respectively arranged on the base body 210. The slide 222 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 221. The first cylinder 223 is connected to the slide 222. The insertion component 230 is movably arranged on the slide 222.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first cylinder 223 is in an unextended state and the slide 222 is in an initial position, the insertion station 232 is located between the terminal seat loading device 300 and the spring clip loading device 400. The terminal seat loading device 300 loads the terminal seat onto the insertion station 232, and the spring clip loading device 400 loads and assembles the spring clip onto the terminal seat of the insertion station 232, thereby completing the assembly of the connecting terminal. Then, the first cylinder 223 begins to extend, driving the slide 222 to move along the second direction, so that the slide 222 moves toward the connector housing flipping device 100. During this process, the insertion station 232 also moves accordingly. When the insertion is completed, the first cylinder 223 retracts, driving the slide 222 to move along the second direction, so that the slide 222 moves away from the connector housing flipping device 100, thereby resetting the insertion station 232. In this way, by moving the component 220, the insertion station 232 is moved from the loading position close to the terminal seat loading device 300 and the spring loading device 400 to the insertion position close to the connector shell flipping device 100, thereby realizing rapid movement of the insertion station 232 and shortening the time consumed by the insertion station 232 from the loading position to the insertion position, thereby improving the insertion efficiency.

[0058] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The insertion component 230 also includes an insertion cylinder 231, the slide 222 has a slide groove 2221, the slide groove 2221 extends along the second direction, the insertion station 232 is movably arranged in the slide groove 2221, the insertion cylinder 231 is arranged on the slide 222, and the insertion cylinder 231 is connected to the insertion station 232.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, when the slide 222 approaches the connector housing flipping device 100, that is, when the insertion station 232 is in the insertion position, the insertion cylinder 231 drives the insertion station 232 toward the connector housing flipping device 100, so that the connection terminal on the insertion station 232 is inserted into the connector housing of the connector housing flipping device 100, completing the insertion. In this way, the connection terminal is accurately inserted into the connector housing flipping device 100 through the insertion assembly 230.

[0060] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The insertion station 232 includes a sliding member 2321 and a loading member 2322. The sliding member 2321 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 2221. The sliding member 2321 is connected to the insertion cylinder 231. The loading member 2322 is arranged at one end of the sliding member 2321 close to the connector shell flipping device 100. At least part of the loading member 2322 extends toward the terminal seat loading device 300. A supporting block 23221 is provided on the loading member 2322.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the abutment block 23221 is used to abut and position the terminal block, thereby facilitating the terminal block to stay in the loading member 2322 and facilitating the installation of the spring clip on the terminal block. When the first pushing cylinder drives the first pushing block, the first pushing block moves in the first transfer seat, thereby pushing the terminal block and transferring it to the insertion station 232. The terminal block stops after contacting the abutment block 23221, thus completing the loading and positioning of the terminal block.

[0062] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The insertion device 200 also includes a pressing assembly 240, which includes a hinge seat 241, a pressing block 242 and a spring. The hinge seat 241 is arranged on the sliding member 2321, and the pressing block 242 includes a connecting portion 2421, an extension portion 2422 and a pressing portion 2423. The middle part of the connecting portion 2421 is hinged to the hinge seat 241, one end of the connecting portion 2421 is connected to the sliding member 2321 through a spring, and the other end of the connecting portion 2421 is connected to the extension portion 2422. The pressing portion 2423 is arranged on the extension portion 2422, and the pressing portion 2423 has a contact surface 24231, and the contact surface 24231 is arranged opposite to the feeding member 2322.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the pressing portion 2423 has a rounded structure at one end close to the terminal seat loading device 300. In this way, when the terminal seat contacts the rounded structure of the pressing portion 2423, the pressing portion 2423 can be lifted, so that the terminal seat moves to the bottom of the pressing portion 2423 and abuts against the abutting surface 24231 of the pressing portion 2423. At the same time, the pressing portion 2423 abuts against the terminal seat at an angle, thereby pressing the terminal seat onto the loading piece 2322, thereby improving the stability of the terminal seat on the loading piece 2322.

[0064] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 , the vertical projection of the pressing portion 2423 toward the feeding piece 2322 is staggered with the abutting block 23221. Such arrangement avoids mutual interference between the pressing portion 2423 and the abutting block 23221.

[0065] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The insertion device 200 also includes a material blocking assembly 250, which includes a material blocking cylinder 251 and a material blocking member 252. The material blocking cylinder 251 is arranged on one side of the base body 210, and the material blocking cylinder 251 drives the material blocking member 252 to move back and forth along the third direction. When the terminal seat is loaded to the insertion station 232, the material blocking member 252 is docked with the terminal seat loading device 300.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal block is loaded onto the insertion station 232, the stopper 252 docks with the terminal block loading device 300, and the stopper 252 supports the lower portion of the terminal block, providing support. When the insertion station 232 is inserting, the stopper cylinder 251 drives the stopper 252 away from the insertion station 232.

[0067] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The connector shell flipping device 100 includes a transverse movement component 110, a rotation component 120 and a clamping component 130. The transverse movement component 110 is arranged on one side of the insertion device 200. The rotation component 120 includes a rotating cylinder 121 and a support seat 122. The rotating cylinder 121 is arranged on the transverse movement component 110. The rotating end of the rotating cylinder 121 drives the support seat 122 to rotate. The support seat 122 is arranged opposite to the insertion station 232. A stop block 1221 is provided on the support seat 122. The clamping component 130 includes a clamping air claw 131. The clamping air claw 131 is arranged on the support seat 122. The clamping air claw 131 has two claw blocks 132. The two claw blocks 132 are respectively located on both sides of the stop block 1221 and can move relative to the stop block 1221.

[0068] In this embodiment, the transverse movement assembly 110 is used to control the positions of the rotation assembly 120 and the clamping assembly 130 in the first direction, thereby adjusting the mounting holes on the connector housing to align with the insertion station 232 for more precise insertion. The transverse movement assembly may include a transverse movement cylinder and a transverse movement seat. The transverse movement cylinder drives the transverse movement seat to move in the first direction, and the rotation assembly is mounted on the transverse movement seat.

[0069] When the connector housing is transferred to the support base 122, the connector housing is in a vertical position and contacts the stop block 1221, thereby improving the stability of the connector housing. The clamping claw 131 drives the claw block 132 to clamp the connector housing, keeping the connector housing stable and enabling stable insertion. After one connector terminal is inserted, the rotary cylinder 121 drives the support base 122 to rotate, causing the connector housing to change from a vertical position to a horizontal position, and the insertion of another connector terminal is completed. In this way, the two connector terminals can be inserted into the connector housing in a mutually perpendicular position.

[0070] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The stop block 1221 has a through slot 1222 extending along the second direction. The through slot 1222 serves as a relief so that the connecting terminal can pass through the through slot 1222 when inserted into the connector housing, thereby ensuring the stability of the connector housing and avoiding interference.
