[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0043] Example 1: See Figure 1-Figure 7 The present embodiment provides an automatic ferrule device for a vehicle connector, comprising a base 100, the top of which is fixedly connected to an electric clamp 400 via a plurality of brackets 200. The electric clamp 400 used in the present application is a prior art and a well-known technology in the field of clamping equipment, so its specific structure is not described in detail in the present application;

[0044] The upper surface of the base 100 is equipped with a ring assembly 300, and the ring assembly 300 includes a support rod 310 fixed on the upper surface of the base 100 and a rotating motor 370. A five-way track block 320 is fixed to the top of the support rod 310, and an extension rod 330 is slidably connected inside the five-way track block 320. An extension plate 390 is hinged on the side of the extension rod 330, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the extension rod 330 and the extension plate 390. A cylindrical block 340 is fixed to the bottom of the extension rod 330, and a gear plate 350 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod 310. An arc groove 360 ​​is opened in the gear plate 350, and the cylindrical block 340 penetrates and is slidably connected to the arc groove 360. A gear 380 meshing with the gear plate 350 is fixed on the output shaft of the rotating motor 370. The rotating motor 370 controls the gear 380 to rotate, and then the gear plate 350 is driven to rotate by the gear 380. The extension rod 330 is embedded with a hydraulic compartment 331. One end of the hydraulic compartment 331 is connected to a hydraulic rod 1 332 through a piston sliding connection, and the other end of the hydraulic compartment 331 is connected to a hydraulic rod 2 333 through a piston sliding connection. One end of the hydraulic rod 2 333 is away from the hydraulic compartment 331 and is close to the side of the expansion plate 390. A plurality of raised strips for increasing friction are arranged on the outer side of the expansion plate 390, and a through groove 391 is opened in the middle of the expansion plate 390. The ring assembly 300 is provided to assist in stretching the rubber ring, and then the vehicle connector M is clamped by the electric clamp 400. Then, under the action of the ring assembly 300, the stretched rubber ring on the expansion plate 390 is placed on the vehicle connector M, thereby improving the ring efficiency of the rubber ring on the vehicle connector M.

[0045] When the above-mentioned device is used, the rotating motor 370 is first started to control the gear 380 to rotate forward. At this time, the gear 380 is meshed with the gear plate 350, so it will control the gear plate 350 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the gear plate 350 rotates in the opposite direction, the cylindrical block 340 located in its arc groove 360 ​​will produce a moving effect, thereby simultaneously driving the five extension rods 330 to converge in the five-way track block 320. As the five extension rods 330 converge, the hydraulic rod 1 332 arranged therein will be squeezed by the side of the five-way track block 320, so that the hydraulic rod 1 332 is converged into the interior of the hydraulic chamber 331. At this time, under the action of liquid pressure, the hydraulic rod 2 333 will extend, thereby pushing the expansion plate 390 to rotate. At this time, the five expansion plates 390 rotate and converge toward the inside at the same time. At this time, the five expansion plates 390 are in a truncated cone shape. At this time, the operator sets a rubber ring on the upper outer side of the five expansion plates 390. Subsequently, the rotary motor 370 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the gear 380 will drive the gear plate 350 to rotate forward. The basic principle is the same as above. When the gear plate 350 rotates forward, first, the five expansion plates 390 will return to the initial vertical state under the rebound action of the torsion spring. At this time, the rubber ring located above the outer side of the five expansion plates 390 will be expanded and slide downward. At this time, the expansion of the rubber ring is completed, and then the vehicle connector M is placed on the electric clamp 400 for clamping and positioning. Then, the above operation is repeated again to make the five expansion plates 390 converge. During the convergence process, the rubber ring will retract and slide toward the center of the convergence of the expansion plate 390 until it slides into the rubber ring installation groove of the vehicle connector. At this time, the automatic ring operation of the vehicle connector is completed. Finally, the equipment is reset by the rotary motor 370, and then the vehicle connector M with the rubber ring on the electric clamp 400 is removed to complete the installation operation.

[0046] Example 2: See Figure 1-Figure 9On the basis of Example 1, the present application is equipped with a push-up assembly 500 in the expansion plate 390, and the push-up assembly 500 includes a pneumatic chamber 510 embedded in the expansion plate 390, and one end of the interior of the pneumatic chamber 510 is connected to a pneumatic rod 1 520 through a piston sliding connection, and the other end of the interior of the pneumatic chamber 510 is connected to a pneumatic rod 2 530 through a piston sliding connection, and a top ring block 540 is fixed to the top of the pneumatic rod 2 530, and the top ring block 540 is arranged in an arc-shaped structure, and a rubber pad is fixed on the upper surface of the top ring block 540, and the top ring block 540 is located inside the through groove 391, and the pneumatic rod 1 520 is an arc-shaped structure as a whole, and the side of the pneumatic rod 1 520 away from the pneumatic chamber 510 is close to the hydraulic chamber 331. The push-up assembly 500 is provided to push out the expanded rubber ring on the expansion plate 390 to prevent the rubber ring from getting stuck on the expansion plate 390. Meanwhile, the top ring block 540 in the push-up assembly 500 is in an arc-shaped structure and has a rubber pad, which can minimize damage to the rubber ring.

[0047] When the above-mentioned device is used in practice, on the basis of Example 1, during the process of making the ring, as the expansion plate 390 rotates, the pneumatic rod 1 520 will be squeezed by the outer side of the hydraulic chamber 331, so that the pneumatic rod 1 520 is retracted into the interior of the pneumatic chamber 510. At this time, the pneumatic rod 2 530 will extend upward, thereby pushing the top ring block 540 to move upward, to assist in pushing the rubber ring on the expansion plate 390 to prevent the rubber ring from being stuck on the expansion plate 390. At the same time, the top ring block 540 in the push-up assembly 500 is an arc-shaped structure and has a rubber pad, which can minimize the damage to the rubber ring. It is worth noting that the present application is provided with a top ring block 540 in each expansion plate 390, which can achieve the effect of synchronously pushing the rubber ring.

[0048] Example 3: See Figure 1-Figure 11 On the basis of Example 2, the present application assembles a vibration assembly 600 at the bottom of the top ring block 540, and the vibration assembly 600 includes a V-shaped plate 610 hinged at the bottom of the top ring block 540, one end of the V-shaped plate 610 is connected to the bottom of the top ring block 540 through an arc spring 620, and a metal knocking block 630 is fixed to the other end of the V-shaped plate 610, and a plurality of metal hemispheres 392 are provided on the inner wall of the through groove 391, and the metal hemispheres 392 are located on the movement track of the metal knocking block 630. The vibration assembly 600 is provided to increase the speed at which the rubber ring leaves the expansion plate 390, and the vibration generated by the vibration assembly 600 can prevent the rubber ring from getting stuck on the expansion plate 390.

[0049] When the above-mentioned device is used in practice, on the basis of Example 2, as the top ring block 540 moves, the metal knocking block 630 on the V-shaped plate 610 at the bottom of the top ring block 540 will continuously knock the metal hemisphere 392 on the inner wall of the through groove 391, thereby generating a vibration effect. These vibration effects will be transmitted to the expansion plate 390, making the rubber ring detach from the expansion plate 390 more quickly, thereby preventing the rubber ring from being stuck on the expansion plate 390.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
