However, such processing method is not only cumbersome, but also requires a large work area for the rotation of the wire with a certain length, which undoubtedly brings difficulties in the demand for space in the production process.

[0032] Reference Figure 1The terminal crimping machine comprises a machine table 100, a feeding mechanism 200, a terminal crimping mechanism 300, a conveying mechanism 400 and a cutting mechanism 500. The feeding mechanism 200 is arranged on the machine table 100. The terminal crimping mechanism 300 is arranged on the machine table 100. The feeding mechanism 200 can guide the material to the terminal crimping mechanism 300. The terminal crimping mechanism 300 can tightly crimp two opposite terminals on the material. The machine table 100 is provided with a cutting position 150. The conveying mechanism 400 is used to take the material away from the terminal crimping mechanism 300 and make the two opposite terminals on the material move linearly to the cutting position 150. The cutting mechanism 500 is arranged at the cutting position 150. The cutting mechanism 500 can cut the material between the two opposite terminals at the cutting position 150. The distance between the cutting mechanism 500 and the terminal crimping mechanism 300 is equal to the predetermined length of the wire. After the feeding mechanism 200 guides the material to the terminal crimping mechanism 300, the terminal crimping mechanism 300 can tightly crimp two opposite terminals on the material. Thus, the material has two opposite terminals. After the conveying mechanism 400 takes the material away from the terminal crimping mechanism 300, the two opposite terminals on the material can be taken to the cutting mechanism 500, and the cutting mechanism 500 can cut the two terminals. Thus, the material has a cut end with a terminal. Under the conveying of the material again, the next part of the material with two opposite terminals will be conveyed to the cutting position 150, and the cutting mechanism 500 can cut the part again. Since the cutting mechanism 500 and the terminal crimping mechanism 300 are respectively located at the two ends of the predetermined length of the wire, and the conveying mechanism 400 linearly moves the material, the material will be directly and effectively formed into a wire with a predetermined length after the cutting effect of the twice cutting operation, and the two ends of the wire are respectively formed with opposite terminals. Thus, the terminal crimping effect of the wire is effectively achieved. Moreover, the step of rotating the wire can be omitted, thereby reducing the requirement of the production operation on the site and achieving the effect of efficiently processing the wire.

[0033] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 200 comprises a roller set which clamps the material and guides the material to move to the terminal crimping mechanism 300. Of course, the feeding mechanism 200 can also be composed of other components, such as a mechanical hand which clamps the material to feed. The specific embodiments can be adjusted according to actual needs, which are not limited herein.

[0034] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2The terminal crimping mechanism 300 comprises a crimping position 130 arranged on the machine table 100, and a terminal mold 370 is arranged at the crimping position 130. The feeding mechanism 200 can deliver the material to the terminal mold 370. Above the terminal mold 370, there is a movable mold base 350 connected with two movable mold heads 355. The movable mold base 350 can drive the movable mold heads 355 to move close to or away from the terminal mold 370. After the material is delivered to the crimping position 130, the material will be supported by the terminal mold 370. Then, the movable mold base 350 can drive the movable mold heads 355 to move close to the terminal mold 370, and cooperate with the terminal mold 370 to tightly press the terminal on the material, so as to complete the forming operation between the terminal and the material. The two movable mold heads 355 can form two terminals at the same time, so as to effectively improve the forming efficiency of the terminal.

[0035] Specifically, a material tape cutter 357 is movably arranged on the movable mold base 350, so that the material tape cutter 357 can cut the material tape of the terminal, and avoid the material tape from following the material to be delivered and processed subsequently.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The terminal mold 370 is connected with a feeding base 340 on the side, and the feeding base 340 is used for placing the terminal to be processed. A feeding pawl 345 is arranged at the feeding base 340, and the feeding pawl 345 is movably connected with the machine table 100 and can drive the terminal to move to the terminal mold 370. The feeding base 340 can position and accommodate the terminal in the material tape connection state, so that the feeding pawl can smoothly and conveniently move the terminal to the terminal mold 370, so that the terminal crimping operation can be quickly and accurately performed.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 The cutting mechanism 500 comprises a positioning base 540 arranged at the cutting position 150, and a cutting material base 510 is arranged on the positioning base 540. A cutting material mold head 530 is arranged on the cutting material base 510. The conveying mechanism 400 is used for driving two terminals facing opposite directions to move to the positioning base 540. The cutting material base 510 can drive the cutting material mold head 530 to move close to the positioning base 540 and cut the material between the two terminals facing opposite directions. After the conveying mechanism 400 drives the two terminals facing opposite directions to move to the positioning base 540, the cutting material base 510 can move downward, and the cutting material mold head 530 can cut the material between the two terminals, so that one end of the wire with the terminal can be obtained. By cutting the material again, the wire with the terminal at both ends can be directly and effectively formed, so that the forming operation of the wire can be smoothly and effectively completed.

[0038] Specifically, the cutting die 530 is two, and the two cutting dies 530 cut the outer peripheral material of the terminals facing opposite directions, so that the excess material at the two terminals can be effectively ensured to be processed.

[0039] Further, the positioning seat 540 is provided with a material discharge hole, and the material cut at the terminals will fall into the material discharge hole and be discharged and recycled through the material discharge hole.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the positioning seat 540 is provided with a to-position detection mechanism 580, which is used to detect whether there are two terminals facing opposite directions at the positioning seat 540. The to-position detection mechanism 580 can detect whether there are two terminals facing opposite directions at the positioning seat 540, so as to effectively ensure that the cutting operation is performed after the material and the terminals are in place, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the cutting operation and avoiding damage to the material and the terminals.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the to-position detection mechanism 580 includes a visual detection camera 590 located beside the cutting position 150 and a light source lamp 570, which is used to illuminate the cutting position 150, and the visual detection camera 590 is used to visually detect the positioning seat 540 and judge whether the terminals are in place. The light source lamp 570 can illuminate the cutting position 150, so that the visual detection camera 590 can clearly and conveniently take pictures and visually detect the situation at the cutting position 150. Therefore, whether the material and the terminals are accurately in place can be directly and effectively judged by the visual detection effect, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the cutting operation.

[0042] It can be predicted that the to-position detection mechanism 580 can also be composed of other components, such as an infrared detector, and specific embodiments can be adjusted according to actual needs, which are not limited here.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the machine 100 is provided with a material discharge mechanism 600, which is used to drive the material at the cutting mechanism 500 to move away from the cutting mechanism 500. The material discharge mechanism 600 can timely drive the wire that has been formed at the cutting mechanism 500 to move away from the cutting mechanism 500, so as to facilitate the rapid performance of the next operation, thereby effectively improving the production and processing efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3The discharging mechanism 600 comprises a first linear driver 610, a discharging gripper 630 and a discharging box 620. The discharging box 620 is arranged on the machine table 100. The first linear driver 610 is connected with the discharging gripper 630 and can drive the discharging gripper 630 to reciprocate between the cutting mechanism 500 and the discharging box 620. The discharging gripper 630 is used for clamping or releasing the material. After the first linear driver 610 drives the discharging gripper 630 to move close to the cutting mechanism 500, the cut material can be conveniently clamped. Then, the material can be driven to the discharging box 620 by the movement of the discharging gripper 630 and finally placed in the discharging box 620, so as to facilitate subsequent processing of the material.

[0045] It can be predicted that the discharging mechanism 600 can recycle the cut formed wire or the unqualified waste material. The specific implementation can be adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 400 comprises a second linear driver 420, a conveying gripper 410 and a material pushing assembly 450. The second linear driver 420 is connected with the conveying gripper 410 and is used for driving the conveying gripper 410 to reciprocate between the end crimping mechanism 300 and the material pushing assembly 450. The conveying gripper 410 is used for clamping or releasing the material. The material pushing assembly 450 is used for driving the terminal on the material to move forward to the cutting position 150. After the second linear driver 420 drives the conveying gripper 410 to move to the end crimping mechanism 300, the conveying gripper 410 can clamp the material that has been end crimped in the end crimping mechanism 300 and convey it to the material pushing assembly 450. In addition, the linear driving effect of the second linear driver 420 on the conveying gripper 410 can ensure that the material moves in a straight line, so as to ensure that the movement amount of the material is the same as the predetermined length. The material pushing assembly 450 can gradually and quantitatively convey the material, so as to ensure that the terminal on the material can stably and smoothly reach the cutting mechanism 500, thereby enabling the cutting mechanism 500 to accurately cut the material between the two terminals.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3The poking assembly 450 comprises a poking track 470, a driving motor 451, a gear and rack pair 452, a lifting cylinder 453 and a poking piece 454, the conveying gripper 410 reciprocates between the poking track 470 and the end punching mechanism 300; the driving motor 451 is connected with the lifting cylinder 453 through the gear and rack pair 452 and can drive the lifting cylinder 453 to move along the length direction of the poking track 470, the lifting cylinder 453 is connected with the poking piece 454 and can drive the poking piece 454 to move up or down relative to the poking track 470. The driving motor 451 can drive the poking piece 454 to move along the length direction of the poking track 470 through the gear and rack pair 452, so that the poking piece 454 can drive the material on the poking track 470 along the length direction of the poking track 470 after the lifting cylinder 453 drives it to descend and contact the material, thereby directly and effectively achieving the effect of quantitatively driving the material, and then facilitating the material to accurately move to the cutting mechanism 500 and perform cutting operation.
