Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminal assembly of copper sheets, and particularly relates to an automatic terminal assembly machine for copper sheets. Background Art

[0002] Currently, for the installation operation of terminals on copper sheets, two traditional and efficiency-limited methods are mainly relied on. First, it is a pure manual installation method, that is, operators need to precisely place the terminals one by one at the predetermined positions on the copper sheets. This process not only takes a long time, but also highly depends on the skill level and patience of the operator. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure the installation efficiency and consistency during long-term operation, and the installation accuracy and precision are easily affected by human factors, thereby affecting the qualified rate and overall quality of the final product.

[0003] Secondly, although another method reduces the burden of manual operation to a certain extent, it still does not fundamentally solve the problems of low efficiency and insufficient precision. This method involves initially positioning the terminals to the corresponding assembly positions on the copper sheets manually or semi-automatically, and then relying on special pressing equipment to complete the final pressing of the terminals. Although the degree of automation of this step has been improved, the pre-insertion process in the early stage still depends on manpower, and there are still multiple error-prone links in the overall process, such as the initial alignment of the terminals with the copper sheet assembly positions, the force control during the pressing process, etc. These may all lead to inaccurate installation, further affecting the yield rate and performance stability of the product.

[0004] In summary, both existing methods face the challenges of low efficiency and unstable installation accuracy, and there is an urgent need to find a more efficient, accurate and automated solution to improve production efficiency and product quality to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high-efficiency and high-precision production lines.

The linear vibration track 601 is provided with a profiling conveying groove 602 that matches the shape of the terminal 103, which can ensure the stable conveyance of the terminal 103 in the linear vibration track 601.

[0088] Specifically, as Figure 1 , 4 shown, in this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 700 is arranged at the top of the frame body 100 and is docked with the output ends of the two linear vibration tracks 601, and is used to receive the terminals 103 conveyed by the two linear vibration tracks 601 and press the terminals 103 onto the copper sheets 102 located at the jig 500. The pressing mechanism 700 includes: a pressing support 701, two connecting frames 702, two receiving blocks 703, two pressing cylinders 704, and two pressing heads 705. The pressing support 701 is arranged on the frame body 100; the two connecting frames 702 are connected to the frame body 100 and are arranged oppositely, and a reinforcing rib is also arranged between the two connecting frames 702; the two receiving blocks 703 are respectively connected to the two connecting frames 702, and receiving grooves 7031 are arranged in the two receiving blocks 703. The receiving grooves 7031 of the two receiving blocks 703 are respectively docked with the output ends of the two linear vibration tracks 601, and receiving components are arranged in the receiving grooves 7031 of the two receiving blocks 703 for receiving the terminals 103 conveyed by the two linear vibration tracks 601; the two pressing cylinders 704 are arranged on the pressing support 701; the tops of the two pressing heads 705 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two pressing cylinders 704, and the bottoms of the two pressing heads 705 are respectively inserted into the receiving grooves 7031 of the two receiving blocks 703, and under the drive of the two pressing cylinders 704 respectively, the terminals 103 in the corresponding receiving grooves 7031 are pressed into the copper sheets 102.

[0090] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the blanking conveyor 800 is arranged on the frame body 100 and is used for blanking the copper sheets 102 assembled with the terminals 103.

[0091] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 8As shown, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 900 is arranged on the frame body 100 and is used to transfer the copper sheet 102 positioned by the grasping and positioning mechanism 300 to the fixture 500, and transfer the copper sheet 102 with the terminals 103 assembled on the fixture 500 to the blanking conveyor 800. The transfer mechanism 900 includes: a transfer frame 901, a three-coordinate drive 902, a rotating disk 903, a mounting plate 904, two second clamping cylinders 905, and two third clamping cylinders 906. The transfer frame 901 is arranged on the frame body 100; the three-coordinate drive 902 is connected to the transfer frame 901 to provide driving forces in the X, Y, and Z axes; the rotating disk 903 is arranged at the output end of the three-coordinate drive 902 to provide a driving force for rotation; the mounting plate 904 is arranged at the output end of the rotating disk 903; two second clamping cylinders 905 are arranged on one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 904, and second clamping claws 9051 are provided at the output ends of the two second clamping cylinders 905; two third clamping cylinders 906 are arranged on the other side of the bottom of the mounting plate 904, and third clamping claws 9061 are provided at the output ends of the two third clamping cylinders 906. The two second clamping cylinders 905 and the two third clamping claws 9061 are both used to clamp the copper sheet 102.

[0092] Working principle:

[0093] First, the copper sheets 102 are sequentially conveyed to the baffle 202 by the feeding conveyor 200;

[0094] The translation assembly 302 is driven to move the pick-up rod 303 forward, pass through the feeding slot 203 and insert into the copper sheet 102, and the translation assembly 302, the pick-up rod 303, and the copper sheet 102 are lifted by the lifting assembly 301 to pick up the copper sheet 102. Then, the first linear cylinder 305 operates to drive the first clamping cylinder 306 forward, and the two first clamping claws 3061 of the first clamping cylinder 306 clamp the copper sheet 102, and move backward under the action of the first linear cylinder 305, driving the copper sheet 102 to displace backward on the pick-up rod 303, so that the displacement of the copper sheet 102 is restricted by the positioning block 304, realizing the positioning of the copper sheet 102;

[0095] The three-coordinate drive 902 drives the two second clamping cylinders 905 to clamp the positioned copper sheet 102. In order to provide production blanking, each of the two second clamping cylinders 905 clamps one, and clamps successively;

[0096] The three-coordinate drive 902 drives the two clamped and positioned copper sheets 102 to move above the fixture 500 and fix the two copper sheets 102 on the fixture 500;

[0097] The fixture 500 and the copper sheet 102 on the fixture 500 are moved to the bottom of the two receiving blocks 703 by the moving mechanism 400. Meanwhile, the two vibrating bowls 600 respectively convey the terminals 103, and convey them to the two receiving grooves 7031 through the two linear vibrating tracks 601. After the terminals 103 enter the receiving grooves 7031, they will pass through the feeding section 7061 and are finally conveyed to the turning section 7063, and then are detected by the detector 7066, indicating that the terminals 103 are in place;

[0098] Then, control the pressing cylinder 704 to drive the pressing head 705 to operate. The pressing head 705 presses the terminal 103 onto the first installation position of the copper sheet 102. The pressing head 705 resets, and the terminal 103 continues to be conveyed to the turning section 7063. Meanwhile, the copper sheet 102 on the fixture 500 is moved forward to the previous assembly position by the moving mechanism 400 for the assembly of the next terminal 103. Thus, cycle the pressing action of the pressing head 705 and the action of the copper sheet 102 moving forward to the previous assembly position to complete the installation of all the terminals 103 on the copper sheet 102;

[0099] The transfer mechanism 900 then grabs two new copper sheets 102 from the picking rod 303 in sequence, moves above the fixture 500, grabs the assembled copper sheets 102, and places the two new copper sheets 102 on the fixture 500 for assembly. The assembled copper sheets 102 taken out are transferred by the transfer mechanism 900 to the blanking conveyor 800 and conveyed out.

[0100] Cycle the above actions to complete the assembly of all the copper sheets 102.

[0101] Above, with reference to Figures 1 to 8 A terminal automatic assembly machine for a copper sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. This machine is designed specifically to solve the problems of low efficiency, insufficient precision, and high defect rate existing in traditional manual and semi-automatic assembly methods. This automatic assembly machine realizes the efficient, precise, and stable assembly operation of the terminals 103 and the copper sheet 102 through a series of precise automated processes.

[0102] This machine integrates the most advanced automation technologies. Using a high-precision positioning system, it can accurately guide the terminals 103 to the precise positions on the copper sheet 102, ensuring a perfect fit with the assembly positions of the copper sheet 102, and greatly improving the assembly precision.
