Manual sorting consumes a significant amount of manpower, and the speed of manual operation is limited, slowing down the production schedule and failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-volume production. For example, PCB boards have terminal blocks for quick wiring.

[0003] Terminal blocks are common connecting components in electrical engineering. They are often used to connect and secure wires or cables, making it easy to fix them to a PCB board. The main function of terminal blocks is to provide safe and reliable electrical connections for electrical equipment, while also facilitating circuit maintenance and replacement.

Then, the plastic cover is installed on top of the plastic cover and riveted to form a semi-finished product. Finally, the terminal pins are inserted into the semi-finished product for assembly to form the finished product. However, due to the small size of the terminal blocks and the large amount of force required to rivet the plastic cover and terminal pins, it is not easy to operate, has low production efficiency, and high labor intensity.

[0059] The invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the embodiments.

[0060] This embodiment provides a terminal block assembly device and assembly method, such as... Figures 1 to 11 As shown, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: It includes a divider module 100, a plastic component mounting module 200, a connecting piece mounting module 300, a cap mounting module 400, a cap riveting module 500, a semi-finished product indexing module 700, a terminal pin riveting module 800, and a finished product discharge module 900. The plastic component mounting module 200, connecting piece mounting module 300, cap mounting module 400, cap riveting module 500, cap riveting module 500, semi-finished product indexing module 700, terminal pin riveting module 800, and finished product discharge module 900 are all separately arranged from the divider module 100. In the field of machining, a divider is a precision positioning device used to divide continuous workpieces into individual units for individual processing. It is commonly used in automated production lines to improve production efficiency and the consistency of workpiece processing. Specifically, the plastic component mounting module 200, the connecting piece mounting module 300, the plastic cap mounting module 400, the plastic cap riveting module 500, the plastic cap riveting module 500, the semi-finished product indexing module 700, the terminal pin riveting module 800, and the finished product discharge module 900 are all arranged around the divider module 100.

[0061] The divider module 100 is provided with a first carrier 131 and a second carrier 132. Specifically, both the first carrier 131 and the second carrier 132 have upward openings, and materials are installed into the openings of the first carrier 131 and the second carrier 132 from above, respectively. Specifically, when the plastic component is installed in the first carrier 131, the plastic component protrudes outside the first carrier 131 and is not completely placed inside the first carrier 131, making it easy to remove the plastic component.

[0062] The plastic component mounting module 200 is used to mount the plastic component onto the first carrier 131. The connecting piece mounting module 300 is used to mount the connecting piece into the plastic component on the first carrier 131. The cap mounting module 400 is used to mount the cap onto the top of the plastic component with the connecting piece. The cap riveting module 500 is used to rivet the cap toward the plastic component. The cap riveting module 500 is used to mount the terminal pins onto the second carrier 132. The semi-finished product transfer module 700 is used to transfer the semi-finished product located on the first carrier 131 to the second carrier 132 with the terminal pins. The terminal pin riveting module 800 is used to rivet the terminal pins toward the semi-finished product. The finished product discharge module 900 is used to transfer the finished product.

[0063] Among them, the connecting piece is a conductive piece used for connecting and fixing wires, cables or PCBs in the terminal block; the semi-finished product is a plastic part with the connecting piece and the glue cover installed; and the finished product is a semi-finished product with the terminal pins installed.

[0064] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the divider module 100 includes: a divider body 110;

[0065] Turntable 120 is located at the top of the divider body 110 and is driven to rotate by the divider body 110.

[0066] Several vehicle modules 130 are evenly distributed on the turntable 120. Each vehicle module 130 includes a first vehicle 131 and a second vehicle 132, and the center of any first vehicle 131 and any second vehicle 132 passes through the concentric circle of the same turntable 120.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the plastic component mounting module 200, the plastic cap mounting module 400, and the terminal pin mounting module 600 all include: a vibration array module 210. The vibration array module 210 is separately set from the divider module 100. The vibration array module 210 is used to control several plastic components / plastic caps / terminal pins to be parallel to each other.

[0068] Conveyor belt module 220 is connected to the corresponding vibration array module 210. Conveyor belt module 220 is used to convey several parallel plastic parts / caps / terminal pins on vibration array module 210 to the corresponding preset positions.

[0069] The pick-and-place module 230 is separately set from the divider module 100. The pick-and-place module 230 is used to install several plastic parts / caps / terminal pins at corresponding preset positions onto the first carrier 131 or the second carrier 132.

[0070] Specifically, the plastic component mounting module 200 also includes a base and three limiting plates, which are positioned at one end of the conveyor belt module 220 facing the pick-and-place module 230. The three limiting plates are located on the top surface of the base, and their height is no higher than the height of the plastic component. A limiting zone is formed between the three limiting plates, which is used to limit the movement of the plastic component. Specifically, when the plastic component is within the limiting zone, because the height of the three limiting plates is no higher than the height of the plastic component, the plastic component protrudes from the three limiting plates, facilitating the movement of the plastic pick-and-place module 230. The plastic pushing module includes a limiting rod and a linear drive module. The limiting rod is used to push the plastic component into the limiting zone and limit its movement. Specifically, the limiting area formed between the three limiting plates has an opening facing the limiting rod. The limiting rod can push the plastic part into the limiting area through this opening. Preferably, the limiting rod and the three limiting plates form a limiting area, and the limiting rod abuts against the plastic part located in the limiting area, which can firmly fix the plastic part in the limiting area. The limiting rod is driven by the linear drive module to push the plastic part into the limiting area.

[0071] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in order to change the orientation of the material, the conveyor belt module 220 can be a non-linear conveyor belt module 220. The conveyor belt module 220 includes: a front section 410 and a rear section 420, which are not parallel to each other. The front section 410 is connected to the vibration module 210, and a preset position is set on the rear section 420. Specifically, the front section 410 and the rear section 420 are the end portions of both ends of the conveyor belt module 220. The movement path of the material on the conveyor belt module 220 can be an arc or a prismatic line, which is not limited here.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, when the material is on the conveyor belt module 220, the cap pick-and-place module 230 cannot properly pick up the cap. By raising the module 430, the material can be moved upward, making it easier for the corresponding pick-and-place module 230 to pick up and transfer the material. The plastic component mounting module 200, the cap mounting module 400, and the terminal pin mounting module 600 also include: a raising module 430, which includes: a limiting part 431, which is connected to the rear section 420. The limiting part 431 has a limiting area, which has openings upward, downward, and toward the rear section 420.

[0073] The movable base 432 is vertically movable within the limit area, and the preset position is set on the top surface of the movable base 432;

[0074] The first drive module is connected to the movable base 432, and the movable base 432 moves up and down under the drive of the first drive module.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 9 As shown, the semi-finished product indexing module 700 includes: a semi-finished product gripper 710, which is used to grip semi-finished products;

[0076] The semi-finished motor 720 has a drive shaft connected to the semi-finished product gripper 710, and the drive shaft of the semi-finished motor 720 is perpendicular to the turntable 120.

[0077] The semi-finished electric guide rail 730 is connected to the semi-finished motor 720. The semi-finished electric guide rail 730 is used to drive the semi-finished motor 720 to move toward or away from the divider module 100.

[0078] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 As shown, the cap riveting module 500 includes: a first riveting block 510, the top surface of the semi-finished product located in the first carrier 131 forms a first riveting surface with the top surface of the first carrier 131, and the surface of the first riveting block 510 facing the first carrier 131 matches the first riveting surface.

[0079] The first driving component 520 is used to drive the first riveting block 510 to move toward or away from the first riveting surface.

[0080] The terminal pin riveting module 800 includes: a second riveting block 810, wherein the top surface of the finished product located in the second carrier 132 forms a second riveting surface with the top surface of the second carrier 132, and the surface of the second riveting block 810 facing the second carrier 132 matches the second riveting surface;

[0081] The second drive assembly 820 is used to drive the second riveting block 810 to move toward or away from the second riveting surface.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 As shown, the second carrier 132 includes: a pin carrier 1321, which is used to fix terminal pins. Specifically, the terminal pins have opposing mounting sections and exposed sections. The mounting sections are fixed inside the semi-finished product, and the pin carrier 1321 is used to fix the exposed sections of the terminal pins.

[0083] A semi-finished product carrier 1322 is disposed at the top of a pin carrier 1321. The semi-finished product carrier 1322 is slidably disposed on the pin carrier 1321. Specifically, a vertical slide rod is provided on the pin carrier 1321, and the slide rod passes through the semi-finished product carrier 1322. The semi-finished product carrier 1322 has several through holes, and several terminal pins are respectively fixed to the pin carrier 1321 through the through holes. Specifically, the mounting section of the terminal pins passes through the through holes, and when the semi-finished product carrier 1322 approaches the pin carrier 1321, the mounting section of the terminal pins also slides within the through holes. The semi-finished product carrier 1322 is used to fix the semi-finished product.

[0084] A compression spring (not shown in the figure) is disposed between the pin carrier 1321 and the semi-finished product carrier 1322. The compression spring is used to drive the pin carrier 1321 to separate from the semi-finished product carrier 1322. When the semi-finished product carrier 1322 and the semi-finished product carrier 1322 are pressed and moved toward the pin carrier 1321 and the terminal pin, the compression spring can drive the pin carrier 1321 to separate from the semi-finished product carrier 1322 after the pressure is stopped, and the original state is restored.

[0085] The second carrier 132 has an assembled state and a disassembled state through the riveting of the terminal pin riveting module 800;

[0086] In the assembled state, the semi-finished product carrier 1322 moves toward the pin carrier 1321, and the terminal pins are pressed and inserted into the semi-finished product;

[0087] In the disengaged state, the semi-finished product carrier 1322 moves away from the pin carrier 1321, and the terminal pins are pulled and disengaged from the pin carrier 1321.

[0088] Specifically, after the semi-finished product and the terminal pin are respectively installed on the second carrier 132, the terminal pin riveting module 800 works to rivet the semi-finished product fixture and the semi-finished product fixture toward the second carrier 132, so that the semi-finished product fixture and the semi-finished product can move toward the pin carrier 1321 and the terminal pin, and the distance between the installation sections of the semi-finished product and the terminal pin decreases until the terminal pin is inserted into the semi-finished product to complete the installation.

The splitter modules 100 are respectively used to detect the presence or absence of plastic components within the first carrier 131 and to detect the presence or absence of connecting pieces within the plastic components within the first carrier 131. Preferably, the fiber optic detection modules are laser ranging modules, which can detect the presence or absence of plastic components within the first carrier 131 and the presence or absence of connecting pieces within the plastic components in the fixed carrier by irradiating the first carrier 131 and the plastic components within the first carrier 131.

[0090] An assembly method for any of the above-mentioned terminal assembly devices includes: mounting a plastic component onto a first carrier 131 using a plastic component mounting module 200; mounting a connecting piece into the plastic component on the first carrier 131 using a connecting piece mounting module 300; mounting a rubber cap onto the top of the plastic component with the connecting piece using a rubber cap mounting module 400; riveting the rubber cap toward the plastic component using a rubber cap riveting module 500 to form a semi-finished product; mounting terminal pins onto a second carrier 132 using a rubber cap riveting module 500; transferring the semi-finished product from the first carrier 131 to the second carrier 132 with the terminal pins mounted using a semi-finished product transfer module 700; riveting the terminal pins toward the semi-finished product using a terminal pin riveting module 800; and transferring the finished product using a finished product discharge module 900, thus completing the terminal assembly.
