Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radio frequency connector technology, and more specifically to an automatic mortise rolling machine for radio frequency coaxial connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Radio frequency (RF) coaxial connectors are generally considered components that are attached to cables or installed on instruments. They are used in the RF transmission circuits of instruments and equipment to electrically connect or disconnect various RF signal transmission lines. They are mechatronic products, and simply put, they mainly act as bridges. RF coaxial connectors can be classified into three types according to their mating method: threaded, push-in, and bayonet. Threaded connectors are the most numerous and widely used. The retaining ring is a key component of threaded connectors.

[0003] In the structure of RF coaxial connectors, the housing is the main retainer in removable denture restorations. It is directly connected to the main equipment and fixed by a threaded connection, serving to retain, stabilize, and support the device. Current RF coaxial connector mortising methods involve manual mortising using a clamp, which is not only laborious and slow but also prone to damaging the housing, scratching it, and chipping off the plating. This can easily lead to housing malfunction, poor threaded sleeve movement, cosmetic scratches, and plating damage causing other performance problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose an automatic mortising machine for radio frequency coaxial connectors. The connector shell to be mortised is placed in a rotation adjustment device. The automatic feeding device is moved by the control box, and the rotation adjustment device is rotated at the same time, so that the automatic feeding device comes into contact with the rotation adjustment device to complete the mortising work.

[0005] To address the problems mentioned above in the background section, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic mortising machine for RF coaxial connectors includes a frame, a control cabinet, an automatic feeding device, and a rotation adjustment device. The automatic feeding device and the rotation adjustment device are located at the upper end of the frame, and the control cabinet is located at the lower end of the frame. Both the automatic feeding device and the rotation adjustment device are controlled and connected to the control cabinet. The automatic feeding device is equipped with a cutting tool, and the rotation adjustment device is equipped with a connector housing. The control cabinet controls the displacement of the automatic feeding device, and simultaneously controls the rotation adjustment device to clamp and rotate the connector housing, so that the automatic feeding device contacts the connector housing to perform mortising.

[0009] Preferably, the tool holder is fixed to the upper end of the lead screw module by bolts. The tool holder is provided with a plurality of tool posts. The tool posts are concave tool posts. The hobbing cutter is provided in the notch of the concave tool post and is fastened by bolts provided on the outside of the notch of the concave tool post.

[0010] Preferably, the rotary adjustment device includes a clamping cylinder, a rotary servo motor, a collet, a positioning bolt, and an adjustment handle; the air inlet and outlet of the clamping cylinder are respectively connected to the air circuit of a solenoid valve through air pipes, the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the rotary servo motor is connected to the servo motor driver; the power output end of the clamping cylinder is connected to the collet through the adjustment handle, and the positioning bolt passes through the adjustment handle and is connected to the collet.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting handle is provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is located between the adjusting handle and the collet. The lower end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the platform, and the upper end of the rotating shaft is movably connected to the adjusting handle.

[0012] Preferably, the collet includes a sleeve and an elastic chuck, the sleeve passes through the elastic chuck, the sleeve is connected to the adjusting handle, the connecting end of the elastic chuck is connected to the rotary servo motor, the clamping end of the elastic chuck is provided with the connector housing, and the positioning bolt passes through the adjusting handle and is located inside the connecting end of the elastic chuck.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] The feed servo motor controls the KK module to complete the displacement, and the rotation servo motor makes the collet rotate at high speed, which in turn makes the hob of the automatic feed device contact the connector housing of the rotation adjustment device to complete the mortise. The joint motion control of the feed servo motor and the KK module, and the rotation servo motor and the collet improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the displacement, making the mortise work safer and faster. Moreover, each servo motor is controlled by a PLC controller, which can complete the mortise smoothly and quickly, preventing the cutter from jumping due to the inconsistency of speed and displacement between the automatic feed device and the rotation adjustment device, which would cause scratches on the housing and damage to the plating, thus improving the quality of the product.

[0017] An emergency stop button is provided so that it can be pressed quickly to stop the operation in case of danger or emergency during the rolling process, thus preventing the risk from escalating. The emergency stop button can also be pressed during maintenance to prevent unnecessary actions caused by accidental contact, ensuring safe operation.

[0018] The display screen enables convenient operation of the human-machine interface, allowing for actions such as product changeover, parameter adjustment, and fault diagnosis, saving manpower and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description
