[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the first embodiment of the application proposes a terminal production equipment 100, the terminal production equipment includes a workbench, a detection device 10 and a sorting device 20. The sorting device 20 includes a first base 21, a translation mechanism 22, a lifting mechanism 23, a turnover mechanism 24 and a clamping mechanism 25. The first base 21 is used to provide a stable support foundation to bear the working load of the translation mechanism 22, the lifting mechanism 23, the turnover mechanism 24 and the clamping mechanism 25 and ensure the stability of the device operation. The translation mechanism 22 is in sliding connection with the first base 21, and a support 221 is arranged on the translation mechanism. Specifically, the translation mechanism 22 is driven by a gas cylinder, and the support 221 is arranged on the translation mechanism 22, which is used to connect the lifting mechanism 23 and support the lifting mechanism 23, the turnover mechanism 24 and the clamping mechanism 25. The lifting mechanism 23 is arranged at the upper end of the support 221; the lifting mechanism 23 is also driven by a gas cylinder, which is used to lift or lower the clamping mechanism 25. The turnover mechanism 24 is fixedly connected with the lifting mechanism 23; the turnover mechanism 24 is also driven by a gas cylinder, and the turnover mechanism 24 is used to overturn the clamping mechanism 25, and the clamping mechanism 25 is repeatedly overturned by 180 degrees with the turnover mechanism 24 as the center. The clamping mechanism 25 is connected with the turnover mechanism 24, which is used to clamp and release the terminal; the clamping mechanism 25 is also driven by a gas cylinder, which realizes the clamping and releasing of the terminal.
[0061] The sorting device 20 drives the translation mechanism, the lifting mechanism 23, the turnover mechanism 24 and the clamping mechanism 25 by the gas cylinder, which realizes the efficient and accurate sorting of the terminal. Using the gas cylinder as the main power source not only simplifies the structure of the device and reduces the risk of mechanical failure, but also improves the flexibility of operation and the maintainability of the equipment. Compared with the traditional multi-axis mechanical hand sorting system, the debugging of the device is more direct and fast, and the maintenance workload is greatly reduced.
[0062] Specifically, the operation process of the sorting device 20 is as follows:
[0063] Firstly, the clamping mechanism 25 starts to act from its initial position. The lifting mechanism 23 is activated to drive the clamping mechanism 25 to move downwards, so as to approach the terminal which has been detected and is located on the loading platform. Then the clamping mechanism 25 clamps the terminal accurately.
[0064] Subsequently, the lifting mechanism 23 is reactivated to drive the clamping mechanism 25 with the terminal to move upwards to the initial position. At this time, the turnover mechanism 24 is activated to guide the clamping mechanism 25 and the terminal clamped thereby to complete a 180-degree turnover, so as to ensure that the terminal is prepared to be placed in a correct posture.
[0065] The action in the final stage depends on the detection result of the terminal. For the terminal with a qualified detection (OK), the lifting mechanism 23 is started again to drive the clamping mechanism 25 with the terminal to move downwards to the vicinity of the conveying mechanism 27, and then the terminal is released at a proper position, and then the terminal is sent to the terminal production device 100 by the conveying mechanism 27. For the terminal with an unqualified detection (NG), the translation mechanism 22 is started to drive the clamping mechanism 25 to move above the waste bucket 26, and then the terminal is released to be directly sorted into the waste bucket 26.
[0066] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some specific embodiments, the clamping mechanism 25 comprises a clamping jaw 251, a first air cylinder 252 and a clamping frame 253. One end of the clamping frame 253 is connected with the turnover mechanism 24, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the clamping mechanism 25 in the sorting process. The clamping jaw 251 is arranged at one end of the clamping frame 253 away from the turnover mechanism 24, so that the clamping jaw 251 can clamp the terminal conveniently and can be adjusted to adapt to terminals of different sizes and shapes. The first air cylinder 252 is arranged on the clamping frame 253, and the first air cylinder 252 is located between the clamping jaw 251 and the turnover mechanism 24. The first air cylinder 252 is used to drive the clamping jaw 251. The main function of the first air cylinder 252 is to drive the clamping jaw 251 to open and close, so as to realize the clamping and releasing actions of the terminal.
[0067] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 3In some specific embodiments, the turnover mechanism 24 comprises a rotating wheel 241, a second cylinder 242, and a turnover frame 243. The turnover frame 243 is arranged on one side of the lifting mechanism 23, and is used to provide stable support and ensure smooth execution of the turnover action. The second cylinder 242 is arranged on the turnover frame 243, and is used to drive the rotation of the rotating wheel 241. By controlling the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 242, the rotation angle of the rotating wheel 241 can be accurately adjusted, thereby achieving accurate turnover of the terminal. The rotating wheel 241 is arranged on the side of the turnover frame 243 away from the lifting mechanism 23. The clamping frame 253 is connected to the rotating wheel 241, so that the terminal carried by the clamping mechanism 25 can be turned over together with the rotating wheel 241, ensuring that the terminal reaches the required turnover angle during sorting to adapt to different sorting and placement requirements.
[0068] During the sorting operation, after the terminal is clamped by the clamping mechanism 25, the lifting mechanism 23 first adjusts the clamping mechanism 25 to the appropriate height, and then the second cylinder 242 is activated to drive the rotating wheel 241 to rotate, thereby turning over the clamping frame 253 and the clamped terminal. By adjusting the action of the second cylinder 242, the terminal can be placed or further transported in the correct posture.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some specific embodiments, the lifting mechanism 23 comprises a lifting frame 231, a third cylinder 232, and a third slide 233. The turnover frame 243 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 231. The fixed connection between the lifting frame 231 and the turnover frame 243 ensures the stability of the lifting frame 231 and the turnover frame 243 during lifting, so that the lifting and turnover operations can be coordinated without worrying about structural deformation or displacement, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the operation. The third cylinder 232 is arranged on the lifting frame 231 and is used to drive the lifting frame 231 to move up and down along the support 221. By controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder, the position of the lifting frame 231 can be adjusted, thereby achieving positioning and operation of the clamping mechanism 25 and the terminal at different heights.
[0070] During the sorting of the terminal, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the clamping mechanism 25 and the terminal to adapt to different operation stages, the third cylinder 232 is activated to accurately control the movement of the lifting frame 231 according to the required lifting distance and speed. Whether it is lowered to clamp the terminal located on the object platform or raised to transfer the terminal to the release position, the third cylinder 232 can provide stable and controllable power support.
[0071] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4In some specific embodiments, the support 221 is provided with a third sliding rail 222 on one side of the lifting mechanism 23; the third sliding rail 233 is in sliding connection with the third sliding rail 222; the third sliding rail 233 is directly connected with the lifting frame 231 and forms a sliding connection with the third sliding rail 222. This allows the lifting frame 231 to slide up and down along the third sliding rail 222, thereby realizing the smooth lifting action of the lifting mechanism 23. The sliding connection mechanism improves the flexibility and adjustability of the entire sorting device, making the position adjustment of the lifting frame 231 more accurate and convenient.
[0072] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some specific embodiments, the translation mechanism 22 includes a fourth cylinder 223 and a fourth sliding rail 224; the fourth cylinder 223 is the main power source of the translation mechanism 22, and the translation action of the support 221 is realized by controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder. The fourth sliding rail 224 is provided on both sides of the fourth cylinder 223; it supports and guides the translation movement of the support 221. This ensures the stability and linearity of the support 221 during translation, reducing the operation errors caused by swinging or deviation. The support 221 is provided on the upper side of the fourth cylinder 223, and the translation of the support 221 is directly driven by the power of the cylinder.
[0073] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some specific embodiments, the first base 21 is provided with a fourth sliding rail 211, which is in sliding connection with the fourth sliding rail 224. Specifically, the fourth sliding rail 211 provides a stable guide path for the translation mechanism 22. This ensures the linearity and stability of the support 221 during translation, reducing errors and unstable factors in operation.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 In some specific embodiments, the first base 21 is provided with a waste bucket 26 and a conveying mechanism 27 on one side. Specifically, the waste bucket 26 is used to collect the terminal connectors that are identified as unqualified during the sorting process. The provision of the waste bucket 26 facilitates the quick and safe disposal of these unqualified products, avoiding the confusion of the production line and potential reprocessing errors, while also facilitating the recycling and reuse of waste materials. The conveying mechanism 27 is responsible for transferring the terminal connectors that pass the detection from the sorting area to the designated collection area.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 5The detection device 10 comprises a light-emitting mechanism 11, a carrier mechanism 12 and a detection mechanism 13. The light-emitting mechanism 11 comprises a light-emitting part 111, which can be an LED lamp or other high-brightness light source, capable of generating stable and uniform light. The light-emitting part 111 is arranged on one side of the light-emitting mechanism 11, used to directly irradiate the terminal to be detected, to provide sufficient illumination for optical detection. The carrier mechanism 12 is arranged on one side of the light-emitting mechanism 11, and is used to place the terminal to be detected. The carrier mechanism 12 can be a platform or a tray with grooves to ensure stable placement of the terminal, facilitating accurate detection by the detection mechanism 13. The detection mechanism 13 is arranged on the side of the carrier mechanism 12 away from the light-emitting mechanism 11. Specifically, the detection mechanism 13 is arranged on the side of the carrier mechanism 12 away from the light-emitting mechanism 11, used to capture the image or features of the terminal illuminated by the light-emitting part 111. The detection mechanism 13 analyzes the optical characteristics of the terminal, such as size, shape, surface defects, etc., to perform quality evaluation.
[0076] Specifically, the light generated by the light-emitting mechanism 11 directly irradiates the terminal on the carrier mechanism 12, and the detection mechanism 13 receives the light transmitted through the terminal from the other side to perform optical detection. This non-contact optical detection effectively avoids damage to the surface or structure of the terminal that may be caused by traditional mechanical contact detection, not only protecting the integrity and performance of the terminal and reducing the scrap rate caused by detection, but also meeting the needs of high-speed mass production and significantly improving the product quality control level of the electrical manufacturing industry.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 6 The carrier mechanism 12 comprises a carrier table 121, which is provided with a positioning groove 123, and the corners of the positioning groove 123 are provided with anti-collision grooves 124. The anti-collision grooves 124 are provided to reduce direct contact between the terminal and the sharp corners of the groove during placement and removal. The use of anti-collision grooves 124 significantly reduces the wear and damage of the edges of the terminal, protecting the structure and surface integrity of the terminal. The arrangement of the anti-collision grooves 124 not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of terminal detection, but also improves the overall yield by reducing damage, reduces production costs and ensures product quality. It effectively solves the terminal wear problem existing in the prior art, thereby improving the reliability of the terminal product.
[0078] Please continue to refer to Figure 6In some specific embodiments, the anti-collision groove 124 is arranged in an arc shape; the arc-shaped anti-collision groove 124 increases the strength of the anti-collision groove 124 structure, while reducing the risk of the terminal contacting the hard corners during operation. The anti-collision groove 124 is in communication with the positioning groove 123, and the anti-collision groove 124 is arranged outside the positioning groove 123, which helps to better guide the terminal to be smoothly put in and taken out, reduces the scratch or damage to the edge of the terminal during movement, and improves the safety of operation and protection of the terminal.
[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the positioning groove 123 is provided with a first step 125, a second step 126 and a third step 127, which are used to more effectively support and fix the terminal, preventing it from moving or falling during detection. The first step 125 and the second step 126 are arranged in parallel, and the first step 125 and the second step 126 are arranged in parallel with the third step 127 to adapt to the length and width of the terminal, provide uniform support force, and avoid detection errors caused by improper position of the terminal. The positioning groove 123 is arranged in a hollow manner, so that the overall weight of the object table 121 also allows the light of the light emitting mechanism 11 to be more uniformly irradiated to each part of the terminal, facilitating visual detection and other related tests by the detection mechanism 13. One side of the positioning groove 123 is not provided with a step, which is to adapt to the irregular shape or size of the terminal that may exist. To allow terminals of different shapes or sizes to be properly placed in the positioning groove 123, while avoiding damage to the terminal caused by forced alignment.
[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the edges of the positioning groove 123 are provided with chamfers 128. Specifically, all the edges of the positioning groove 123 on the object table 121 are provided with chamfers 128, which are used to reduce the direct hard contact of the terminal with the groove edges during placement and removal, thereby further preventing the wear and damage of the surface of the terminal. The chamfer 128 provides a more gentle transition during the installation and removal of the terminal, effectively avoiding scratches or damage that may be caused by sharp edges. This not only protects the structure and appearance quality of the terminal, but also ensures the stability of the electrical performance and improves the yield.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 7, the terminal production equipment 100 further comprises a feeding device 30, the feeding device 30 comprises a second base 31, a transfer mechanism 32, a second lifting mechanism 33 and a material taking mechanism 34; the second base 31 is provided with a fixing frame 311, the second base 31 is the basic part of the terminal feeding device, and provides stable support for the feeding device 30. The second base 31 is provided with a fixing frame 311 as the structural basis for connecting and supporting other mechanisms. The fixing frame 311 is arranged in an inverted L shape. The transfer mechanism 32 is arranged on the fixing frame 311, and the transfer mechanism 32 is in sliding connection with the fixing frame 311; specifically, the transfer mechanism 32 is installed on the fixing frame 311 and connected with the fixing frame 311 through a sliding connection, allowing the transfer mechanism 32 to move smoothly on the fixing frame 311. The transfer mechanism 32 is used to adjust the position of the material taking mechanism 34, preparing for the subsequent material taking and feeding links. The second lifting mechanism 33 is arranged on one side of the transfer mechanism 32, and the second lifting mechanism 33 is in sliding connection with the transfer mechanism 32; specifically, the second lifting mechanism 33 is located on one side of the transfer mechanism 32 and connected with the transfer mechanism 32 through a sliding mechanism, so that the second lifting mechanism 33 can move along the vertical direction of the transfer mechanism 32. The function of the second lifting mechanism 33 is to adjust the height of the material taking mechanism 34, so as to ensure that it can accurately reach the position where the hardware is stored. The material taking mechanism 34 is fixedly arranged on the side of the second lifting mechanism 33 away from the transfer mechanism 32, and is away from the transfer mechanism 32; specifically, the material taking mechanism 34 is used to directly contact the hardware and transport the hardware from the storage position to the feeding position. The transfer mechanism 32 and the second lifting mechanism 33 are both powered by a gas cylinder, which simplifies the complexity of the mechanical power system and provides a direct and effective power source. By controlling the extension and retraction of the gas cylinder, accurate operation of the transfer mechanism 32 and the second lifting mechanism 33 can be realized, including position adjustment and height adjustment.
[0082] By using the gas cylinder to directly drive the transfer mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism, the overall structure of the feeding device 30 is greatly simplified, and the complexity and potential failure points caused by the multi-axis mechanical hand are avoided. Compared with the complex and time-consuming debugging process of the multi-axis mechanical hand, the simplified design of the gas cylinder driving mechanism makes the debugging of the feeding device 30 more direct and fast, greatly reducing the debugging burden of the technicians. The simplified mechanical structure and reduced moving parts mean less maintenance requirements and lower maintenance costs during long-term operation, while also improving the running stability of the equipment.
[0083] Specifically, during operation, the cylinders of the driving transfer mechanism 32 are activated to drive the transfer mechanism 32 to move the picking mechanism 34 to a predetermined picking position. Subsequently, the cylinders of the second lifting mechanism 33 are activated to adjust the picking mechanism 34 to a predetermined picking height, and the hardware is picked up by the picking mechanism 34. After the hardware is clamped and picked, the hardware is translated and lifted to a designated feeding position for placement by the same cylinder-driven mechanism.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 8 In some specific embodiments, the picking mechanism 34 further comprises a picking support 341 fixedly connected to the second lifting mechanism 33; the picking support 341 is used to stably support the electromagnetic part 342, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the electromagnetic part 342 during operation. The electromagnetic part 342 comprises an electromagnetic fixing block 343 and a magnetic guide rod 344, the electromagnetic fixing block 343 is fixedly connected to one side of the picking support 341, and the magnetic guide rod 344 is arranged below the electromagnetic fixing block 343.

Compared with a complex multi-axis robot, the electromagnetic part 342 significantly simplifies the overall structure of the feeding device 30. The use of the electromagnetic part 342 not only reduces the structural complexity caused by the multi-axis robot, but also makes the debugging process of the feeding device 30 more simple and rapid, significantly reduces the difficulty of technicians during debugging, and also reduces the maintenance burden and related costs of the equipment.
[0085] Please refer to Figures 9 to 11, the terminal production equipment 100 further comprises a spring assembly device 40, the spring assembly device 40 comprises a third base 41, a third support 42 and a pushing mechanism 43; the third base 41 serves as the basis of the entire spring assembly device 40, and the third base 41 provides stable support to ensure the overall stability of the spring assembly device 40 and the reliability during operation. The third support 42 is arranged on the third base 41; specifically, the third support 42 serves to support the pushing mechanism 43, ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of the pushing process, while bearing various loads during operation and providing sufficient structural strength. The pushing mechanism 43 comprises a first pushing seat 431, a second pushing seat 432 and a pushing body 433, the first pushing seat 431 is arranged on one end of the third support 42 away from the base, and the first pushing seat is the initial joint of the pushing mechanism 43 and the third support 42, providing necessary support and connection. The second pushing seat 432 is arranged on the first pushing seat 431, and the second pushing seat 432 can slide relative to the first pushing seat 431 to realize feeding of the spring and aligning the spring with the hardware, while supporting the second pushing seat 432. The pushing body 433 is arranged on the second pushing seat 432, and the second pushing seat 432 is responsible for accurately feeding the spring into the predetermined hardware. Among them, the second pushing seat 432 and the pushing body 433 are driven by a gas cylinder; specifically, the second pushing seat 432 and the pushing body 433 are powered by a gas cylinder, and the use of the gas cylinder not only simplifies the power transmission system, but also provides precise force control, ensuring that the spring can be accurately positioned and installed.
[0086] Specifically, the spring assembly device 40 drives the second pushing seat 432 and the pushing body 433 by setting a gas cylinder, overcoming the complexity and high maintenance cost problems brought by traditional multi-axis mechanical hands. Using the gas cylinder as a direct power source simplifies the mechanical structure, and at the same time makes the device debugging simpler and faster. In addition, the mechanical wear parts are reduced, the long-term operation and maintenance cost is reduced, and the reliability and production efficiency of the device are improved.
[0087] Please continue to refer to Figures 9 to 11In some specific embodiments, the shell assembling device 40 further comprises a seventh cylinder 44; the first pushing seat 431 is provided with a first connecting block 434, and the seventh cylinder 44 is fixedly arranged on the first connecting block 434; the seventh cylinder 44 is connected with the second pushing seat 432 and is used for pushing and pulling the second pushing seat 432. Specifically, the seventh cylinder 44 is used for providing necessary power to push the second pushing seat 432 to slide forward and backward, so as to realize accurate pushing and pulling operation. The seventh cylinder 44 directly affects the loading process of the shell, and the seventh cylinder 44 ensures that the shell is aligned in the hardware, so as to facilitate subsequent assembly process. The second pushing seat 432 is in sliding connection with the first pushing seat 431; specifically, the sliding connection between the second pushing seat 432 and the first pushing seat 431 allows the second pushing seat 432 to move forward and backward on the first pushing seat 431. The flexibility of the shell assembling device 40 is improved, and the whole shell assembling process is more smooth and controllable. Meanwhile, the sliding connection improves the durability and maintenance convenience of the shell assembling device 40.
[0088] Specifically, the seventh cylinder 44 is used as the power source of the second pushing seat 432, which simplifies the structure of the power system. Compared with a complex motor or hydraulic system, the seventh cylinder 44 optimizes the mechanical structure of the shell assembling device 40, reduces the maintenance cost and complexity of the shell assembling device 40, and also reduces the operating noise and energy consumption.
[0089] Please continue to refer to Figures 9 to 11 In some specific embodiments, the shell assembling device 40 further comprises an eighth cylinder 45; the second pushing seat 432 is provided with a second connecting block 435, and the eighth cylinder 45 is fixedly arranged on the second connecting block 435; the eighth cylinder 45 is connected with the pushing body 433 and is used for pushing and pulling the pushing body 433; specifically, the eighth cylinder 45 is used for driving the pushing body 433 to accurately slide forward and backward, so as to assemble the shell into the hardware. The pushing body 433 is in sliding connection with the second pushing seat 432; so that the pushing body 433 moves forward and backward on the second pushing seat 432 stably, so that the pushing action is more smooth, and adjustment and maintenance are also facilitated. The working directions of the seventh cylinder 44 and the eighth cylinder 45 are arranged vertically; specifically, the seventh cylinder 44 and the eighth cylinder 45 work cooperatively to provide multidirectional power support, increase the flexibility of the operation of the shell assembling device 40, and enable the shell to be accurately adjusted in two dimensions, so as to ensure that the shell can be accurately assembled into the hardware.
[0090] Specifically, by arranging the seventh cylinder 44 and the eighth cylinder 45 in the shell assembling device 40, the shell assembling device 40 can be finely adjusted in multiple directions, which optimizes the assembly process and reduces the operation complexity.
[0091] Please continue to refer to Figures 9 to 11 In some specific embodiments, the pushing body 433 has a loading position 436; specifically, the pushing body 433 is provided with a loading position 436 during its operation, and the loading position 436 is the initial position of the spring piece loaded into the pushing body 433, thereby preparing for the subsequent pushing of the hardware. The end of the pushing body 433 away from the eighth cylinder 45 is provided with a sliding guide rail 437; the sliding guide rail 437 includes a receiving part 438, a limiting boss 439, and a guide rail body 440; the receiving part 438 is arranged at the end of the sliding guide rail 437 towards the loading position 436; the receiving part 438, the limiting boss 439, and the guide rail body 440 are arranged in sequence. Specifically, the receiving part 438 is used to provide support when the spring piece is loaded into the pushing body 433, ensuring that the spring piece can be stably supported at the loading position 436. The limiting boss 439 serves as a physical barrier to limit the position of the spring piece on the sliding guide rail 437, preventing excessive movement that would prevent the spring piece from being aligned. The guide rail body 440 constitutes the main part of the sliding guide rail 437. Specifically, the width of the receiving part 438 is less than the width of the spring piece.
[0092] In operation, the receiving part 438 is located at the loading position 436, and there is a gap between the receiving part 438 and the pushing body 433. The seventh cylinder 44 works to make the spring piece be received by the receiving part 438 and enter the loading position 436, and then the seventh cylinder makes the spring piece align with the hardware. The eighth cylinder 45 works to push part of the spring piece into the hardware, while the receiving part 438 moves away from the loading position 436, and then the pushing body completely pushes the spring piece into the hardware, completing the assembly of the spring piece.
[0093] Specifically, the steps are as follows:
[0094] S1, in operation, ensure that the receiving part 438 is located at the loading position 436, which is the preparation position before the spring piece is loaded into the pushing body 433. An appropriate gap should be maintained between the receiving part 438 and the pushing body 433 to facilitate smooth transmission of the spring piece.
[0095] S2, activate the seventh cylinder 44 to drive the second pushing seat 432 to move, thereby moving the receiving part 438 to smoothly move the spring piece from the receiving part 438 to the pushing body 433 and into the loading position 436. At this time, the seventh cylinder 44 adjusts the position of the pushing body 433 to ensure that the spring piece is correctly aligned with the hardware.
[0096] S3, the eighth cylinder 45 starts to work, and pushes the pushing body 433 to push the bullet part into the hardware. At the same time, the receiving part 438 moves in the direction away from the feeding position 436 to make more space for the bullet to enter the pushing hardware completely. After the assembly of the bullet is completed, all the seventh cylinders 44 and the eighth cylinders 45 drive the second pushing seat 432 and the pushing body 433 to return to the initial position, respectively, in preparation for the next operation.
