DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] As introduced in the background technology, there are deficiencies in the prior art. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a bending and shaping device and a bending method for forming an electrical connector housing.

[0039] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 A bending and shaping device comprises a cabinet 1, a turntable 2 is mounted on the cabinet 1, a fixture 3 is mounted on the turntable 2, and a loading component 4, a unloading component 5, a detection component 6, a rejection component 7 and a bending component 8 are arranged around the turntable 2;

[0040] The loading assembly 4 and the unloading assembly 5 have the same structure, and the loading assembly 4 and the unloading assembly 5 are used to load and unload the connector housing respectively;

[0041] The detection component 6 includes an industrial camera 61 disposed toward the surface of the turntable 2, and the detection component 6 is used to take pictures and samples of the connector housing on the fixture 3;

[0042] The fixture 3 includes a positioning base block 301, an upper clamping plate 302 and a lower clamping plate 303 installed on the positioning base block 301, wherein the positioning base block 301 is used to position the connector housing, the lower clamping plate 303 is used to support the connector housing, and the upper clamping plate 302 is used to fix the connector housing;

[0043] The rejecting assembly 7 includes a push block 71 that can move toward the fixture 3, and the rejecting assembly 7 is used to drive the lower clamping plate 303 to rotate;

[0044] The bending assembly 8 includes a correction frame 81 that can move in the horizontal, longitudinal and vertical directions, and the bending assembly 8 is used to push the deformed lead pin on the connector housing to reset it;

[0045] Before assembling the connector, the loading component 4 operates to place the connector housing on the jig 3, and the turntable 2 operates at the same time, forcing the jig 3 to pass through the detection component 6, the rejection component 7, the bending component 8 and the unloading component 5 in sequence. When the detection component 6 operates, the industrial camera 61 is used to take pictures and samples of the connector housing, and then the lead pin defects on the connector housing are detected. When the defect is not repairable, the rejection component 7 operates to drive the lower clamping plate 303 on the jig 3 to rotate, forcing the connector housing to fall. When the defect is repairable, the bending component 8 operates to drive the correction frame 81 to move and push the defective lead pin to reset after deformation. After repair, the unloading component 5 operates to unload the connector housing and move it to the assembly station;

[0046] The turntable 2 is mounted on the cabinet 1 through a rotating workbench. When in use, the turntable 2 rotates intermittently at equal angles. A plurality of jigs 3 are mounted on the turntable 2. The plurality of jigs 3 are distributed in a circular array on the turntable 2. The loading component 4, the unloading component 5, the detection component 6, the rejection component 7 and the bending component 8 are respectively arranged at different stations around the turntable 2. The jigs 3 pass through different stations in sequence with the turntable 2. The connector housing in this embodiment is arranged as an attached Figure 2 A metal electrical connector housing with a plurality of pins as shown in ;

[0047] During use, the turntable 2 rotates intermittently at equal angles after operation, driving the jig 3 to move. When the jig 3 moves to the station where the loading component 4 is located, the loading component 4 is operated to place the connector housing in the positioning base block 301 on the jig 3. At this time, the lower clamping plate 303 is supported on the bottom of the connector housing, and the upper clamping plate 302 is fixed on the top of the connector housing to achieve the positioning and fixation of the connector housing. Then the jig 3 moves to the station where the detection component 6 is located, and the detection component 6 is operated. The industrial camera 61 takes pictures and samples the connector housing to determine the defects of the pins on the connector housing. After the detection is completed, the jig 3 moves to the station where the rejection component 7 is located. If the pins on the connector housing are difficult to repair, If there is a defect, the rejection component 7 is started, and the rejection component 7 drives the lower clamping plate 303 to rotate, so that the connector housing falls under gravity and is then removed from the jig 3. Otherwise, the rejection component 7 does not operate, and then the jig 3 continues to move to the station where the bending component 8 is located. If there is a repairable defect on the lead pin of the connector housing, the bending component 8 is started, and the bending component 8 drives the correction frame 81 to move horizontally, longitudinally and vertically, thereby pushing the deformed lead pin, so that the lead pin is bent and reset, thereby realizing the shaping work. Finally, the fixture 42 moves to the station where the blanking component 5 is located, and the blanking component 5 operates to blank the connector housing that meets the requirements on the fixture 42 or transfer it to the subsequent connector assembly line;

[0048] A turntable 2 is provided, a jig 3 is provided on the turntable 2, and a loading component 4, a unloading component 5, a detection component 6, a rejection component 7 and a bending component 8 are provided around the turntable 2. After the connector housing is positioned and fixed by the jig 3, the lead pins on the connector housing are firstly detected for defects by the detection component 6, and then the bending component 8 bends and repairs the repairable lead pins of the connector housing. The device has a high degree of automation and can repair the bending defects of the lead pins that occur in the unloading and transportation processes of the connector housing, thereby improving the quality of the connector housing and avoiding an increase in the defective rate of the electrical connector caused by the defective connector housing participating in subsequent assembly work, which is beneficial to reducing losses, saving production costs and improving the yield rate.

[0049] Example 2: See Figure 5-Figure 7, which is different from the above embodiment, the edges of both sides of the positioning base block 301 are provided with legs 304, and the legs 304 are fixed to the turntable 2 by screws. The edge of the positioning base block 301 is provided with a notch 305, and the top of the positioning base block 301 is provided with a positioning slot 306, and the positioning slot 306 is connected to the notch 305. The lower clamping plate 303 is installed at the bottom of the positioning slot 306, and the upper clamping plate 302 is installed at the top of the positioning slot 306. A lower shaft body 307 is fixed to one side edge of the lower clamping plate 303, and the lower shaft body 307 It is installed at the bottom of the positioning base block 301 through a lower bearing seat 308, a lower gear 309 is fixed at one end of the lower shaft body 307, a mounting groove 310 is provided on the side wall of the support leg 304, a transverse rack 311 is meshed at the bottom of the lower gear 309, the transverse rack 311 is slidably connected with the mounting groove 310, one end of the transverse rack 311 extends to the outside of the positioning base block 301, and a transverse spring 312 is fixed at the other end of the transverse rack 311, one end of the transverse spring 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 310, and one end of the upper clamping plate 302 is An upper shaft 313 is fixed to the edge, and the upper shaft 313 is installed on the top of the positioning base block 301 through an upper bearing seat 314. An upper gear 315 is fixed to one end of the upper shaft 313. A vertical rack 316 is meshed on one side of the upper gear 315. The vertical rack 316 is vertically slidably connected to the edge of the positioning base block 301. A vertical spring 317 is fixed to the bottom end of the vertical rack 316. A positioning block 318 is fixed to the bottom end of the vertical spring 317. The bottom end of the positioning block 318 is fixed to the surface of the turntable 2, and the top of the positioning block 318 extends to the vertical spring 317. Inside 317, the loading assembly 4 and the unloading assembly 5 both include a mechanical arm 41, a fixture 42 is fixed at the end of the mechanical arm 41, a vertical guide rail 43 is fixed on the surface of the fixture 42, a strip slider 44 is slidably connected inside the vertical guide rail 43, the bottom end of the strip slider 44 extends to the outside of the vertical guide rail 43, a push spring 45 is fixed at the top of the strip slider 44, the top of the push spring 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical guide rail 43, a pressing plate 46 is fixed at the bottom of the strip slider 44, and the height of the pressing plate 46 is lower than the height of the fixture 42;

[0050] The width of the notch 305 is greater than the width of the positioning slot 306, and the shape of the positioning slot 306 matches the shape of the connector housing. When the connector housing is placed inside the positioning slot 306, the lead pin on the connector housing just extends into the notch 305. At this time, the lower clamping plate 303 is supported on the bottom of the connector housing, and the upper clamping plate 302 is fixed on the top of the connector housing, so as to fix the connector housing.

[0051] When the jig 3 moves to the work station where the loading component 4 is located, the loading component 4 operates, the mechanical arm 41 moves, and clamps the connector housing through the clamp 42 at the end, and then moves vertically downward from directly above the jig 3 and is placed on the jig 3. When the clamp 42 holding the connector housing moves downward, it drives the vertical guide rail 43, the push spring 45, the bar slider 44 and the pressure plate 46 to move downward. Before the jig 42 places the connector housing, the pressure plate 46 first contacts the vertical rack 316. At this time, the anti-deformation performance of the push spring 45 is much greater than that of the vertical spring 317. Therefore, the downward pressure plate 46 pushes the vertical rack 316, so that the vertical rack 316 moves downward. When the vertical rack 316 moves downward, it drives the upper gear 315 to rotate. When the upper gear 315 rotates, it drives the upper clamp 302 to swing. After the upper clamp 302 swings, it disengages from the top of the positioning slot 306 to avoid hindering the connector housing from being placed in the jig 3. When the vertical rack 316 moves downward and contacts the positioning block 318, The upper gear 315 rotates when the upper shaft 313 rotates, and then the upper clamping plate 302 is reset, and finally the upper clamping plate 302 is clamped on the top of the connector housing to fix the connector housing;

[0052] By providing a positioning groove 306 that matches the shape of the connector shell on the positioning base block 301, it is convenient to position the connector shell. By providing a movable upper clamping plate 302, the loading component 4 first drives the upper clamping plate 302 to rotate to disengage from the top of the positioning groove 306 during loading, and then drives the upper clamping plate 302 to reset after placing the connector shell in the positioning groove 306. This can prevent the upper clamping plate 302 from interfering with the loading work of the connector shell, and can also use the upper clamping plate 302 to fix the connector shell after loading, thereby improving the stability of the connector shell.

[0053] Example 3, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 , which is different from the above embodiment, the detection component 6 also includes a vertical rod 62 fixed to the top of the cabinet 1, an extension rod 63 is fixed to the vertical rod 62, the industrial camera 61 is fixed to the extension rod 63, a ring light 64 is provided at the bottom of the industrial camera 61, a connecting rod 65 is fixed to one side of the ring light 64, and the connecting rod 65 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 62;

[0054] The industrial camera 61 is facing the center of the ring light 64. When in use, the fixture 3 is moved to the position where the detection component 6 is located. The connector housing on the fixture 3 is just located under the industrial camera 61 and the ring light 64. The industrial camera 61 takes a photo of the connector housing.

[0055] By providing the detection component 6, it is helpful to detect and determine the pin defects on the connector housing, and then it is convenient to confirm the treatment method according to the defects.

[0056] Example 4, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9 , which is different from the above embodiment, a material discharge hole 21 is opened on the surface of the turntable 2, and the material discharge hole 21 is located directly below the fixture 3. The rejection component 7 includes a sub-support 72, and a sub-baseboard 73 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sub-support 72. A sub-guide rail 74 is fixed on the surface of the sub-baseboard 73, and the direction of the sub-guide rail 74 is consistent with the radial direction of the turntable 2. The sub-baseboard 73 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 75 at one end away from the turntable 2, and a drive seat 76 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 75. The drive seat 76 is slidably connected to the sub-guide rail 74, and the push block 71 is fixed on the drive seat 76. A conveyor 77 is provided at the bottom of the sub-baseboard 73, and both sides of the conveyor 77 are fixedly connected to the sub-support 72, and one end of the conveyor 77 extends to the bottom of the material discharge hole 21;

[0057] Among them, the number of the discharge holes 21 and the jig 3 are the same and the positions are matched. When the jig 3 rotates to the station where the rejection component 7 is located, the end of the push block 71 just faces the transverse rack 311, and then the cylinder 75 is started. The cylinder 75 extends to drive the drive seat 76 to slide along the auxiliary guide rail 74. When the drive seat 76 slides, it also drives the push block 71 to move toward the transverse rack 311. After the push block 71 contacts the transverse rack 311, it pushes the transverse rack 311 to move. When the transverse rack 311 moves, it compresses the transverse spring 312 and also drives the lower gear 309 to rotate. When the lower gear 309 rotates, it drives the lower shaft 307 to rotate, and then drives the lower clamping plate 303 to swing. After the lower clamping plate 303 swings, it no longer supports the connector shell on the clamp 42. The connector shell falls under the action of gravity, passes through the discharge hole 21 and falls on the conveyor 77. The conveyor 77 operates to transfer such irreparable defective connector shells and collect them uniformly.

[0058] By setting up the rejection component 7, it is helpful to directly reject and uniformly collect the connector shells that cannot be repaired, so as to avoid such bad products from participating in subsequent connector assembly work, thereby improving the yield rate of connector assembly, and also avoiding unnecessary bending operations of the bending component 8, thereby reducing workload and saving energy.

Therefore, the longitudinal motor 804, the transverse motor 809 and The cooperation of the vertical motor 813 can adjust the position of the correction frame 81 and drive the correction frame 81 to move. In actual use, when the guide needle is bent to the left or right side, the vertical plug plate 817 on the correction frame 81 is first driven to be inserted into the gap at the root of the adjacent guide needle, and then the vertical plug plate 817 is driven to move along the gap to the head of the guide needle, and finally the vertical long plate is driven to move horizontally to push the deformed guide needle to reset. When the guide needle is bent to the upper or lower side, the horizontal support plate 818 on the correction frame 81 is first driven to move to the top or bottom of the guide needle, and then the horizontal support plate 818 on the correction frame 81 is driven to move up and down, so as to push the deformed guide needle to reset.

[0062] By setting the longitudinal motor 804, the vertical motor 813 and the transverse motor 809, the correction frame 81 can be accurately driven to move in all directions. At the same time, the vertical plug plate and the horizontal support plate 818 on the correction frame 81 can adapt to the bending requirements of different angles and have strong applicability.
