Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of insulating terminal preparation, in particular to a continuous assembly machine for hardware terminals and insulating sheaths. Background Art

[0002] The applicant previously applied for and was authorized a Chinese utility model with announcement number CN215418928U, "A direct-entry pressing type insulated terminal automatic assembly machine". When assembling the insulated terminal, the conductor part and the insulating sleeve are first placed in the slide groove. The left and right inner walls of the slide groove align the conductor part with the insulating sleeve. The motor drives the chain belt to rotate, so that the guide wheel on the corresponding slide rod rolls over the front side of the top pressure block. The slide rod is pushed forward and slides forward, so that the pressure head on the slide rod presses the conductor part and the insulating sleeve forward, and cooperates with the inner forearm of the slide groove to press the insulating sleeve onto the conductor part to complete the assembly of the insulated terminal; driven by the motor, the guide wheel on the chain belt continuously rolls over the front side of the top pressure block, so that the interruption period in the assembly process is shorter. The user only needs to complete the loading and unloading processes to ensure the assembly efficiency of the insulated terminal, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0003] When using this equipment, the user can place multiple pre-prepared separate insulating sleeves on the vibration disk, and the vibration disk will position and arrange the insulating sleeves so that they can be placed in sequence on the slides of different fixed seats driven by the chain belt, and then the row of conductor parts (terminals) will pass through the connecting grooves of the connecting slides. The chain belt or the external power material reel will drive the row of conductor parts to be placed on different slides in turn, and then the sliding rod will be guided and pressed by the pressing block so that the insulating sleeves are pressed onto the conductor parts to complete the assembly of the insulating terminal, thereby obtaining a linked insulating terminal with the separate insulating sleeves placed on the row of conductor parts.

[0004] However, after the slide rod completes the top pressing, the return of the slide rod mainly relies on the elastic reset of the spring on the fixed seat. It is easy to get stuck in the process of returning, and after a certain period of use, the elastic force of the spring is reduced, so that it cannot return to its original position. Once the slide rod fails to return to its original position, it will affect the next automatic loading, and it is easy to cause damage to the top pressing without a sheath and skewed top pressing, which is not conducive to the recycling of top pressing and the improvement of preparation quality.

[0012] Among them, the first transition surface and the second transition surface are arranged opposite to each other, and a state maintaining channel allowing the guide wheel to pass through is formed between the first transition surface and the second transition surface. The moving direction of the guide wheel in the state maintaining channel is the same as the conveying direction of the assembly seat when it is in the assembly area.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: a guide groove is formed on the motion state guide, and a guide slide column that cooperates with the guide groove is also connected to the installation platform.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: when the push rod slider is at the starting point of sliding and pressing, the terminal bearing section is located between the push rod slider and the sheath bearing section;

[0015] The installation platform is also provided with a sheath anti-slip mechanism located in the assembly area, which is used to resist upward and prevent the sheath on the sheath bearing section from slipping off in the assembly area.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: the sheath anti-drop mechanism includes a mounting frame mounted on the mounting platform, and an assembly bracket is provided on the mounting frame;

[0018] It also includes a flexible anti-slip belt that integrally surrounds the multiple resistance wheels. The first end resistance wheel and the end resistance wheel constitute a tensioning mechanism for the flexible anti-slip belt. The flexible anti-slip belt is located above the assembly seat in the assembly area and corresponds to the sheath of the sheath bearing section of the assembly slide.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: a vertically arranged guide hole is formed on the mounting frame, a guide column corresponding to the guide hole is connected to the assembly bracket, a height adjustment screw is rotatably provided on the mounting frame, and a screw hole corresponding to the height adjustment screw is formed on the assembly bracket.

[0020] As a further solution of the present invention: the mounting platform is further provided with a terminal feeding mechanism;

[0021] The terminal feeding mechanism includes a guide rail arranged obliquely downward on the mounting platform, and the lower discharge port of the guide rail corresponds to the terminal bearing section of the assembly slide on the assembly seat in the waiting area.

[0022] As a further solution of the present invention: the terminal feeding mechanism further comprises a cutting mechanism installed on the mounting platform, which is used to individually cut off the row of terminals that penetrate into the guide rail.

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] See also Figure 1-7 A continuous assembly machine for hardware terminals and insulating sheaths includes a mounting platform 1, a plurality of assembly seats 2, a reciprocating conveying mechanism 3 and a motion state guide 4.

[0045] The installation platform 1 has an assembly area 101 and a material waiting area 102 .

[0046] At least one assembly slot 201 is formed on the outer side of the assembly seat 2 for supporting the terminal and the sheath in the waiting area 102 and assisting the terminal and the sheath to be pressed together in the assembly area 101. The assembly slot 201 is correspondingly formed with a terminal supporting section 2011 and a sheath supporting section 2012; when the assembly seat 2 is located in the assembly area 101, the assembly slot 201 is located on the top side of the assembly seat 2.

[0047] The assembly seat 2 is also provided with a push rod slider 202 for sliding guidance. The push rod slider 202 is connected to a terminal push rod 203 that slides with the assembly slot 201. The sliding direction of the push rod slider 202 or the terminal push rod 203 in the assembly area 101 is linear horizontal sliding.

[0048] The terminal push rod 203 slides on the assembly slide groove 201 to form a sliding pressing starting point for avoiding the terminal bearing section 2011 and the sleeve bearing section 2012, and a sliding pressing end point for pressing the terminal and the sleeve.

[0049] The push rod slider 202 slides on the assembly seat 2 to form a first sliding state and a second sliding state; when the push rod slider 202 is in the first sliding state, it drives the push rod slider 202 to slide from the sliding pressing starting point to the sliding pressing end point on the assembly slide groove 201; when the push rod slider 202 is in the second sliding state, it drives the push rod slider 202 to slide from the sliding pressing end point on the assembly slide groove 201 back to the sliding pressing starting point.

[0050] A guide wheel 204 is rotatably provided on the push rod slider 202 .

[0051] The reciprocating conveying mechanism 3 is used to sequentially and cyclically convey the assembly seat 2 to the assembly area 101 and the waiting area 102, and is configured to make the assembly seat 2 pass through the assembly area 101 in a straight line and horizontally when the assembly seat 2 passes through the assembly area 101, wherein the sliding direction of the push rod slider 202 or the terminal push rod 203 in the assembly area 101 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the assembly seat 2 in the assembly area 101.

[0052] The motion state guide 4 is installed on the mounting platform 1, and the motion state guide 4 has a first motion state guide inclined surface 401 that cooperates with the guide wheel 204 when the assembly seat 2 is located in the assembly area 101, and has a second motion state guide inclined surface 402 that cooperates with the guide wheel 204 when the assembly seat 2 is located in the assembly area 101.

[0053] When the guide wheel 204 cooperates with the first motion state guide inclined surface 401, it drives the push rod slider 202 to the first sliding state; when the guide wheel 204 cooperates with the second motion state guide inclined surface 402, it drives the push rod slider 202 to the second sliding state.

[0054] The first motion state guiding inclined surface 401 and the second motion state guiding inclined surface 402 are inclined in the horizontal direction relative to the sliding direction of the push rod slider 202 when in the assembly area 101 and the conveying direction of the assembly seat 2 when in the assembly area 101 .

[0055] The guide wheel 204 is directly guided in different directions by the motion state guide 4, so that when the assembly seat 2 is driven by the reciprocating conveying mechanism 3 through the assembly area 101, the terminals and sleeves loaded on the assembly slide 201 can be guided by the first motion state guide slope 401 of the guide wheel 204, and the terminal push rod 203 cooperates with the assembly slide 201 to press the terminal and the sleeve together. After the pressing is completed, the guide wheel 204 can be guided by the second motion state guide slope 402 to drive the terminal push rod 203 to return to the sliding pressing starting point, so as to avoid the terminal bearing section 2011 and the sleeve bearing section 2013, so as to facilitate smooth loading next time.

[0056] The terminal push rod 203 is guided by the guide bevels (401, 402) corresponding to the motion state guide 4 to abut and press the guide wheel 204 from the sliding pressing starting point to the sliding pressing end point, and from the sliding pressing end point to the sliding pressing starting point. It only needs to consider the physical strength of the motion state guide 4, such as using steel with higher hardness as the material for preparing the motion state guide 4. While ensuring that the terminal push rod 203 can successfully complete the pressing and the returning, it has good durability and effectively ensures that the next loading is completed smoothly, thereby ensuring the preparation quality.

[0057] The reciprocating conveying mechanism 3 can be a chain plate belt mounted on the mounting platform 1, and a plurality of assembly seats are correspondingly mounted on the chain plates of the chain plate belt, such as Figure 2 As shown, a main transmission wheel 301 and an auxiliary transmission wheel 302 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the installation platform 1. The chain belt is integrally arranged on the main transmission wheel 301 and the auxiliary transmission wheel 302 and is driven by at least one transmission wheel. The chain belt is arranged up and down, and a left-right conveying section is formed on the upper part. The waiting area 102 and the assembly area 101 both correspond to the conveying section.

[0058] Furthermore, the motion state guide 4 further includes a state bidirectional transition portion 403, which includes a first transition surface 4031 continuous with the first motion state guide inclined surface 401, and a second transition surface 4032 continuous with the second state guide inclined surface 402. The first transition surface 4031 and the second transition surface 4032 are arranged opposite each other, and a state maintaining channel 4033 is formed between the first transition surface 4031 and the second transition surface 4032, allowing the guide wheel 204 to pass through. The movement direction of the guide wheel 204 in the state maintaining channel 4033 is the same as the conveying direction of the assembly seat 2 when it is in the assembly area 101.

[0059] After the terminal and the sleeve are pressed together by the terminal push rod 203, the terminal push rod 203 can be kept in this position for a certain time through the state bidirectional transition part 403 to achieve top pressure retention. This prevents the terminal push rod 203 from canceling the top pressure too quickly after the terminal and the sleeve are pressed together, thereby preventing the non-rigid sleeve from having pressure energy to separate from the terminal. After the improvement, the pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy for the sleeve to continue to be pressed into the terminal by top pressure retention, thereby effectively improving the top pressure assembly quality.

[0060] The top pressure holding time is determined by the length of the state holding channel and the conveying speed. Therefore, when the state holding channel remains unchanged, the conveying speed of the assembly seat 2 changes and affects the top pressure holding time.

[0061] When the guide wheel 204 is in a process of rotating from the first motion state guide slope 401 to the second motion state guide slope 402 , the state bidirectional transition portion 403 enables the guide wheel 204 to transition more smoothly.

[0062] Furthermore, a guide groove 404 is formed on the motion state guide 4, and a guide slide column 405 that cooperates with the guide groove 404 is also connected to the installation platform 1. The guidance of the guide slide column 405 to the guide groove 404 is the same as the sliding direction of the push rod slider 202 in the assembly area 101. A pressing distance adjustment screw 406 can also be rotatably provided on the installation platform 1, and a screw hole that cooperates with the pressing distance adjustment screw 406 is correspondingly formed on the motion state guide 4.

[0063] The distance between the motion state guide member 4 and the assembly seat when it is located in the assembly area is adjusted by the pressing distance adjustment screw 406, thereby correspondingly adjusting the pressing distance of the terminal push rod 203, so that the pressing depth between the terminal and the sheath can be changed accordingly, which can adapt to the pressing requirements of different pressing depths. Moreover, when used in conjunction with the state bidirectional transition portion 403, the motion state guide member 4 can be adjusted to the corresponding position according to the material of the sheath and the required pressing depth, so that the distance between the state holding channel 4033 and the assembly seat 2 can reach a preset value.

[0064] Preferably, an elastic member (not shown) is provided on the assembly seat 2. When the push rod slider 202 is in the first sliding state, the elastic member is elastically deformed by the combined action of the assembly seat 2 and the push rod slider 202, effectively ensuring that the terminal push rod 203 can remain at the sliding pressing starting point when the assembly seat 2 moves from the assembly area 101 to the waiting area 102. The elastic member can be a spring.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, when the push rod slider 202 is at the sliding pressing starting point, the terminal bearing section 2011 is located between the push rod slider 202 and the sheath bearing section 2012 .

[0066] The installation platform 1 is further provided with a sheath anti-slipping mechanism 5 located in the assembly area 101 . The sheath anti-slipping mechanism 5 is used to resist upwards and prevent the sheath on the sheath bearing section 2012 from slipping off in the assembly area 101 .

[0067] The sheath anti-slip mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 501 mounted on the mounting platform 1, and an assembly bracket 502 is provided on the mounting frame 501. A plurality of resistance wheels 503 are rotatably provided on the assembly bracket 502. The rotation axis of the plurality of resistance wheels 503 is the same as the sliding direction of the push rod slider 202 when in the assembly area 101. The spacing direction of the plurality of resistance wheels 503 is the same as the conveying direction of the assembly seat 2 when in the assembly area 101, and constitutes the head end resistance wheel and the terminal resistance wheel in the spacing direction. The sheath anti-slip mechanism 5 also includes a flexible anti-slip belt 504 that integrally surrounds the plurality of resistance wheels. The head end resistance wheel and the terminal resistance wheel constitute a tensioning member for the flexible anti-slip belt 504. The flexible anti-slip belt 504 is located above the assembly seat 2 in the assembly area and corresponds to the sheath of the sheath bearing section 2012 of the assembly chute.

[0068] When the terminal push rod 203 slides from the sliding pressing starting point to the sliding pressing end point, the terminal push rod 203 pushes the terminal to press the terminal into the sheath.

[0069] In the horizontal direction, the sheath is positioned and prevented from falling off by the side walls of the assembly sliding groove 201 .

[0070] In the vertical direction, the sheath is prevented from falling off by the sheath anti-falling mechanism 5 .

[0071] When the flexible anti-slip belt 504 resists a certain sheath or a certain part of the sheath, when the resistance force is greater than the rotational resistance of the resistance wheel, the flexible anti-slip belt 504 moves with it to prevent the sheath or the certain part of the sheath from tilting upwards beyond the allowable value when pressed with the terminal, so as to ensure the pressing quality.

[0072] The multiple resistance wheels arranged at intervals are used to assist in designing the rotational resistance of the flexible anti-slip belt on the one hand, and on the other hand, to make the resistance pressure of each section of the flexible anti-slip belt on different sheaths as uniform as possible.

[0073] The flexible anti-slip belt can, on the one hand, prevent the sheath from being scratched; on the other hand, when pressing and resisting the slip-off, it can slightly bulge a certain sheath or a certain part of the sheath to avoid the terminal being pressed together by excessive pressure.

[0074] Furthermore, the mounting frame 501 is formed with a vertical guide hole 505, and the assembly bracket 502 is connected to a guide post 506 corresponding to the guide hole 505. The mounting frame 501 is also rotatably provided with a height adjustment screw 507, and the assembly bracket 502 is formed with a corresponding screw hole that mates with the height adjustment screw 507. The height adjustment screw 507 can be used to adjust the resistance pressure and resistance height of the flexible anti-slip belt 504 on the sheath, thereby improving applicability.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, a terminal loading mechanism 6 is further provided on the mounting platform 1. The terminal loading mechanism 6 includes a guide rail 601 provided obliquely downward on the mounting platform 1, and a discharge port below the guide rail 601 corresponds to the terminal bearing section 2011 of the assembly chute on the assembly seat located in the waiting area 102.

[0076] The terminal loading mechanism 6 also includes a cutting mechanism 602 mounted on the mounting platform. The cutting mechanism 602 has a corresponding cutter and a power component that drives the cutter to cut or trim the terminals, and is used to individually cut the terminals in a row that has passed through the guide rail 601. The terminals in a row can be loaded into the guide rail 601 through the upper feed port, and the cutting mechanism 602 cuts the terminals in a row individually. The terminals then fall from the lower discharge port of the guide rail 601 onto the terminal-bearing section of the assembly chute on the assembly seat located in the waiting area.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, a connecting belt passing groove 205 is formed on the assembly seat 2 to connect the sheath bearing sections 2012 of different assembly slots.

[0078] By loading the continuous sheaths, the continuous assembly machine can be adapted for the continuous assembly of the continuous terminals and the continuous sheaths, and the continuous insulating terminals based on the continuous sheaths as the base can be obtained.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, a detection module is also configured to detect the pressed product, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detection module may be an image detection module that uses a camera for detection.

[0080] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
