The first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504 can approach each other to clamp the other axial ends of the grid tube cores 14 on the grid tube core sleeves 200 extending out of the upper port 302, and the first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504 can be mutually connected in the second horizontal straight direction. The relative movement in the line direction Y rubs the other axial end of the grid tube core 14 on each grid tube core 14 to rotate around the axis of the grid tube core 14. After the twisting is completed, the first twisting mechanism 400 and the second twisting mechanism 500 move away from the twisted grid tube core 14, and then the lifting mechanism re-places the grid tube core placement seat 100 carrying the twisted grid tube core 14 to the grid tube core conveying line 1, so that the twisted grid tube core 14 continues to be conveyed to the next workstation (for example, a workstation for performing the operation of connecting the outer sleeve and the grid tube core 14 to each other).

[0039] Since in the torsion system of the grid electrical connector provided by the present application, a plurality of grid tube core insertion sleeves 200 are provided on the grid tube core placement seat 100 on the grid tube core conveying line 1, and each grid tube core insertion sleeve 200 can be inserted with one grid tube core 14, and then the grid tube core placement seat 100 carrying the grid tube core 14 is lifted by the lifting mechanism to make the grid tube core insertion sleeve 200 extend out of the upper port 302, and each grid tube core 14 also extends out of the upper port 302 of the guide bin 300, and at this time, the upper part of the upper port 302 of the guide bin 300 serves as the torsion operation position of the plurality of grid tube cores 14, which can be clamped by the first torsion mechanism 400 and the second torsion mechanism 500, specifically by the first fixed clamping block 402 and the second fixed clamping block 502 approaching each other to clamp one axial end (for example, the lower end) of the grid tube core 14 on each grid tube core insertion sleeve 200 extending out of the upper port 302, and by the first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504 approaching each other By clamping the upper end of each grid tube core 14 on each grid tube core 14 extending out of the upper port 302, the first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504 rub the other axial end of the grid tube core 14 on each grid tube core insertion sleeve 200 to rotate around the axis of the grid tube core 14 during relative movement in the second horizontal straight direction Y, thereby realizing simultaneous rotation of all grid tube cores 14 in a row on the grid tube core placement seat 100.

The grid tube core placement seat 100 rises from the lower port 301 of the guide bin 300 to enter the guide bin 300 and is positioned at the upper port 302. Specifically, the upper end surface of the stop bar 102 can be against the lower wall surface of the upper port 302 of the guide bin 300, and the side surface of the stop bar 102 can be against the inner wall of the guide bin 300. The inner wall of the guide bin 300 gradually expands outward from the upper port 302 toward the lower port 301, that is, the inner wall gradually narrows from the lower port 301 of the guide bin 300 toward the upper port 302.

When the torsion operation is performed, the movable rod 405 The rod 405 is inserted into the socket 205, and the first torsion block 404 is pressed against the grid tube core 14. Then, the second torsion block 504 can be driven to press against the grid tube core 14. The multiple expansion petals expand radially outward toward the rotating circular seat 202 so as to be pressed more tightly against the inner side of the axial upper end of the grid tube core 14, so that the axial upper end of the grid tube core 14 is more firmly clamped between the outer peripheral side of the rotating circular seat 202 and the first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504, which is more conducive to the mutual contact of the first torsion block 404 and the second torsion block 504 in the second horizontal straight line direction Y. Regarding the movement to rub the axial upper end of the grid tube core 14, the movable rod 405 can be installed on the first torsion block 404 so as to move along the second horizontal straight direction Y. This is because if the first torsion block 404 is designed to move in the second horizontal straight direction Y, the first torsion block 404 will be displaced in the second horizontal straight direction Y relative to the axis of the socket 205 of the rotating round seat 202, and the movable rod 405 can move along the second horizontal straight direction Y to ensure that the displacement is not restricted by the rotating round seat 202. The lower end of the movable rod 405 forms a conical head, which is convenient for insertion into the socket 205.

A plurality of movable rods 405 are provided below the sliding plate 407. The movable rod 405 is preferably rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 407 along its central axis to facilitate synchronous rotation with the rotating round seat 202. The sliding plate 407 can also cooperate with an elastic member (such as a spring 408) inside the sliding groove 406, so that the first torsion block 404 can be rotated when not performing a torsion operation. The sliding plate 407 remains in the initial position under the elastic member and remains in the initial position after the first torsion block 404 completes the torsion operation, which is convenient for positioning the first torsion block 404, the movable rod 405 and the rotating round seat 202. Specifically, the sliding plate 407 is connected to a spring sleeve rod 409 inside the sliding groove 406, and the elastic expansion and contraction direction of the spring 408 is along the second horizontal straight line direction Y. The first end of the spring 408 abuts against the inner wall corresponding to the sliding groove 406, and the second end of the spring 408 is sleeved on the spring sleeve rod 409 and stops the spring sleeve rod 409.
