Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automatic assembly and testing device for square fuses. Background Technology

[0002] A fuse is a protective device that protects electronic equipment from overcurrent and prevents serious damage caused by internal faults. Therefore, a fuse is also called a circuit breaker, and in international standards, it is defined as a "fuse element." It is an electrical component installed in a circuit to ensure its safe operation. With products becoming smaller and more integrated, the shape and size of fuses have changed significantly from traditional fuses. According to their structure, fuses can be classified as flat fuses, blade fuses, square fuses, and surface mount fuses. A square fuse includes a copper strip as the fusible element, a lower housing, and a top cover. The internal copper strip has two terminals, corresponding to two holes at the bottom of the lower housing. During installation, the copper strip is placed on the lower housing, and its two terminals are inserted into the corresponding holes. The copper strip and the lower housing are secured with a snap-fit ​​structure. The top cover is then installed on top of the lower housing. Currently, the assembly process of square fuses involves multiple steps, and these steps cannot be automated or coordinated continuously. Some steps require manual operation of equipment. This assembly method not only results in high labor intensity but also low assembly efficiency and unstable quality, leading to high costs and reduced competitiveness. Although automated assembly and inspection devices have emerged in the existing technology, these devices involve numerous steps and are typically arranged sequentially along a conveyor direction, with corresponding mechanisms for each step on one or both sides of the conveyor direction. This arrangement results in a large footprint for the entire machine and is unsuitable for transporting assembly and inspection devices with multiple steps. Summary of the Invention

When the copper sheet on the first receiving seat 311 corresponds to the bending device 42, the bending member 421 moves downward to bend the copper sheet, and the pushing member 422 pushes the bent copper sheet from the bending position to the pressing position. The pressing position corresponds to the through hole 3113 that passes vertically; the pressing device 43 includes a pressing member 431 that moves vertically. The pressing member 431 moves downward to push the bent copper sheet through the through hole 3113 to the lower seat on the second receiving seat 321.

The middle portion of the copper sheet is supported on the crossbar 3114, with both sides of the copper sheet suspended. The bending member 421 presses against both sides of the copper sheet to bend it into an inverted U-shape. The pushing member 422 is driven by a cylinder to move outwards, pushing the bent copper sheet to the pressing position. The pressing member 431 is driven by a cylinder to move downwards, pushing the bent copper sheet through the through hole 3113 to the lower seat on the second receiving seat 321.

The transverse drive 575 consists of multiple cylinders connected to the connecting plate 573. The drive shaft of the transverse drive 575 is connected to the clamping plate 574, which has multiple slots for transversely clamping the semi-finished product located on the shifting track 571. The driving direction of the linear drive 572 is the same as the conveying direction of the shifting track 571, and the driving direction of the transverse drive 575 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the shifting track 571.

[0070] During automatic inspection and assembly, the conveying mechanism transports the copper strip to the single-piece feeding device 15, thereby forming a single copper sheet.
