Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of plug-in assembly of terminal connectors, and in particular to automatic assembly equipment and an assembly method for terminal connectors. Background Art

[0002] The terminal is usually located at the end of the cable, and its function is to fix the conductor part of the cable and provide an interface with the connector; the cable is inserted into the connector through the terminal at its end, and the connector connects multiple or multiple terminals through its internal structure. In the existing production process, multiple terminals usually need to be plugged into the connector. This process requires manual plugging by personnel or plugging through mechanical equipment, but the existing plugging equipment can only plug one end of the terminal connector, that is, a single terminal or multiple terminals are plugged together on one side of the connector. If terminals need to be plugged on both sides of the connector, or there are terminals at both ends of a single cable, and both terminals need to be plugged into different connectors respectively, the existing plugging equipment needs to be plugged in multiple times separately to achieve this, the steps are cumbersome and inefficient, and it is easy to increase the probability of damage to the terminal connector.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, the patent with publication number CN113394644A discloses a precise guiding auxiliary device for assembling a wiring harness terminal and a connector, including a fixed frame having a carrier for placing a single connector, the connector having a PIN socket; a movable frame having a transport mechanism for conveying the wiring harness terminal, the transport mechanism being used to transport the single terminal, and a guide hole being formed at the bottom of the fixed module and the movable module when the movable module and the fixed module are molded into a whole, wherein the movable frame can move left and right relative to the fixed frame, and when the guide hole overlaps with the PIN socket, the wiring harness terminal is inserted into the PIN socket through the guide hole. However, although this technology has improved some of the original problems, there are still aspects that need to be further optimized to better meet actual detection needs.

[0004] 1. The above-mentioned existing assembly equipment can only limit and fix a single connector and terminal. Therefore, after a single pair of connector terminals are plugged in, external equipment or manual removal is required, and then a new terminal connector is plugged in. In the process of assembling a large number of terminals and connectors, multiple of the above-mentioned devices need to be installed, which means that too much time is required to disassemble and assemble the terminal connectors. Therefore, the assembly efficiency of the above-mentioned existing equipment is low.

[0005] 2. The above-mentioned existing equipment can only perform one-way plugging of terminal connectors, that is, only a single or multiple terminals can be plugged into the PIN socket on one side of the connector. When performing two-way plugging of the connector, it is necessary to complete the plugging on one side of the connector, remove the connector and turn it for secondary turning limit, re-fill new terminals, and then plug the new terminals into the other side of the connector, which increases the time consumption and further reduces the speed of its assembly; and the above-mentioned existing equipment cannot perform multiple device plug-in cooperation, that is, it is impossible to plug cables with terminals installed on both ends into one side of the two connectors respectively, which further reduces the applicability of the above-mentioned assembly equipment.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for optimization in the assembly process of terminals and connectors in the prior art. Summary of the invention

Detailed implementation mode

[0039] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 to describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application disclose an automatic assembly device and assembly for a terminal connector. It should be noted that the present application is mainly applied in the process of inserting a terminal into a connector. By respectively installing a plurality of terminals and connectors on the installation device, and then driving the installation device with the terminal installed thereon to move towards the direction of the connector, the terminal abuts against the insertion port on the connector, so that the terminal can be inserted into the connector. At the same time, in response to different insertion directions of the terminals, by swapping the installation positions of the terminals and the connectors, and changing the moving directions of a plurality of installation devices, the two-side insertion of the terminals into the connector is realized, and the terminals on both sides of the cable are respectively inserted into two connectors, further improving the applicability of the present application.

[0041] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figure 1 As shown, it includes a rectangular plate 1, support legs 10, a sliding groove 11, sliding columns 12, a supporting plate 13 and an installation unit 2. A plurality of support legs 10 are located at the lower end of the rectangular plate 1, and the support plate is used to support the rectangular plate 1; a sliding groove 11 is opened on the rectangular plate 1, and three sliding columns 12 are slidably arranged in the sliding groove 11. The upper ends of the sliding columns 12 are all provided with a supporting plate 13, and the sliding columns 12 can drive the supporting plate 13 to move when driven by an external force.

[0042] An installation unit 2 for installing a terminal connector is arranged on the supporting plate 13. When the supporting plate 13 moves, it can drive the installation unit 2 to move synchronously. The installation unit 2 drives the corresponding connector and terminal to move in opposite directions, so that the terminal can abut against the insertion port on the connector and finally be inserted into the connector.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the installation unit 2 is used to install the terminal connector; specifically, the installation unit 2 includes a C-shaped plate 20, a sliding groove 21, a sliding wheel 22, an installation groove 23, a connecting clamp 4, a terminal clamp 5, an installation cavity 24 and a driving component 3, the C-shaped plate 20 is located at the upper end of the supporting plate 13, the supporting plate 13 is provided with a sliding groove 21, and the lower side of the C-shaped plate 20 is provided with a plurality of sliding wheels 22 located in the sliding groove 21, that is, the C-shaped plate 20 is supported by the sliding wheel 22, and during the installation process, the C-shaped plate 20 is moved to the supporting plate 13 through the sliding wheel 22, and the sliding groove 21 can limit and guide the sliding wheel 22, and after the connector terminal is inserted, the C-shaped plate 20 is driven by external force to move from the supporting plate 13 to the next process.

[0044] Several mounting grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped plate 20 along its extended section. The mounting grooves 23 on the middle supporting plate 13 are provided with connecting clamps 4 for clamping the connector, and the mounting grooves 23 on the supporting plates 13 on both sides are provided with terminal clamps 5 for clamping the terminals. That is, in the initial state, the U-shaped plates 20 on both sides are provided with connecting clamps 4, and the terminal clamps 5 are provided on the middle U-shaped plate 20. The corresponding connectors are driven by the supporting plates 13 on both sides to move toward the terminal clamps 5 in the middle, so that the terminals can be inserted into the sockets on the corresponding side of the connector. The single side of the connector is plugged into a row of mounting terminals on one side of the U-shaped plate 20 facing the connecting clamps 4. When both sides of the connector need to be installed, the terminals can be installed on the side of the U-shaped plates 20 on both sides facing the connecting clamps 4, and the above-mentioned row is the terminal clamps 5 corresponding to one side of the supporting plate 13.

[0045] A plurality of mounting cavities 24 are formed in the supporting plate 13 and are located on both sides of the mounting groove 23 . A driving assembly 3 for driving the connecting clamp 4 and the terminal clamp 5 is disposed in the mounting cavity 24 .

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving component 3 is used to drive the connecting clamp 4 and the terminal clamp 5; specifically, the driving component 3 includes a driving plate 30, a driven inclined plate 31, a push spring 32, a driving shaft 33, an active inclined plate 34 and a resistance ring 35. The driving plate 30 is symmetrically slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 24, and one side of the driving plate 30 passes through the inner wall of the corresponding mounting cavity 24 and is located in the adjacent mounting groove 23. The driving plate 30 is located on one side of the mounting groove 23 and is respectively connected to the corresponding connecting clamp 4 and the terminal clamp 5. When driven by external force, the driving plate 30 can drive the corresponding terminal clamp 5 or the connecting clamp 4 to clamp the terminal and the connector.

[0047] A driven inclined plate 31 is provided on one side of the driving plate 30 located in the installation cavity 24, a push spring 32 is provided between the driven inclined plate 31 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 24, and several driving shafts 33 corresponding to the installation grooves 23 are slidably penetrated on one side of the supporting plate 13. An active inclined plate 34 is provided on one side of the driving shaft 33 located in the installation cavity 24, and the active inclined plate 34 is in conflict with the corresponding driven inclined plate 31. In the initial state, the push spring 32 pushes the driving plate 30 to move toward the adjacent installation cavity 24 through the corresponding driven inclined plate 31, that is, at this time, the corresponding driven inclined plate 31 will conflict with the active inclined plate 34, so that the active inclined plate 34 drives the corresponding driving shaft 33 to move in the direction away from the installation cavity 24.

[0048] A contact ring 35 is provided on one side of the driving shaft 33 outside the mounting cavity 24. When the supporting plates 13 on both sides carry the terminals through the terminal clamps 5 and contact the supporting plate 13 in the middle, the contact rings 35 on the supporting plates 13 on both sides will interfere with each other and drive the corresponding driving shaft 33 to move toward the adjacent mounting cavity 24. Then, the active inclined plate 34 will drive the corresponding driving shaft 33 to move in the direction away from the adjacent mounting cavity 24 through the driven inclined plate 31, thereby causing the two corresponding terminal clamps 5 or connecting clamps 4 in the same mounting groove 23 to move in relative directions, thereby applying a clamping force to the corresponding terminals and connectors, so that the positions of both sides will not be offset during the process of plugging the terminals into the connector, thereby ensuring that the terminals can be accurately plugged into the plug-in port on the connector.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting clamp 4 is used to clamp the connector; specifically, the connecting clamp 4 includes a shaped plate 40, a strip clamp 41 and a reset spring 42. The shaped plate 40 is detachably installed at one end of the corresponding driving plate 30 located in the mounting groove 23. Connecting grooves are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the shaped plate 40. A strip clamp 41 is slidably arranged between the corresponding connecting grooves, and a reset spring 42 is arranged between the strip clamp 41 and the inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0050] The connector is installed between the two corresponding strip clamps 41, and then the strip clamps 41 initially clamp the two sides of the connector under the push of the corresponding reset springs 42, so that the connector will not separate from the strip clamps 41, and the protrusions on both sides of the convex plate 40 will limit the two side ends of the connector, so that the connector will not deviate to the left and right directions.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, it is the terminal clip 5 for clamping the terminal; specifically, the terminal clip 5 includes an L-shaped plate 50, a clamping plate 51, a pushing spring 52, an arc-shaped groove 53 and a partition plate 54. The L-shaped plate 50 is detachably arranged at one end of the driving plate 30 located in the installation groove 23. A terminal groove is formed on one side of the protruding end of the L-shaped plate 50, and a clamping plate 51 is slidably arranged in the terminal groove. A pushing spring 52 is arranged between the clamping plate 51 and the inner wall of the terminal groove.

[0052] Install the terminal between the two clamping plates 51. The clamping plate 51 can preliminarily clamp the terminal under the push of the corresponding pushing spring 52. During the process of inserting the terminal into the connector, the driving plate 30 is indirectly pressured by the active inclined plate 34 to apply pressure to the U-shaped plate 40 and the L-shaped plate 50, so that the U-shaped plate 40 and the L-shaped plate 50 move towards the corresponding terminal and connector, thereby further compressing the corresponding reset push spring 42 and the pushing spring 52. The reset push spring 42 and the pushing spring 52 apply a greater clamping force to the terminal and the connector through the corresponding strip-shaped clamping plates 41 and the clamping plate 51 to prevent the occurrence of vertical amplitude deviation and inaccurate insertion.

[0053] During the insertion process, the protruding end on one side of the L-shaped plate 50 will limit the terminal and push the terminal to move towards the connector. When the terminal is inserted into the socket of the connector, at this time, the two supporting plates 13 move in the opposite direction. Since there is no limit of the protruding part of the L-shaped plate 50 on the other side of the terminal, and there are limits of the protruding parts of the U-shaped plates 40 on both sides of the connector, the connector can indirectly pull out the terminal from the corresponding clamping plate 51 through its insertion port, so that the terminal remains on the connector.

[0054] Then the supporting plate 13 moves to the initial position, and the driving assembly 3 no longer further drives the terminal clip 5 and the connection clip 4. Therefore, the operator can more conveniently install the terminal towards the corresponding clamping plate 51 or take out the connector from between the strip-shaped clamping plates 41. It should be noted that the clamping force of the clamping plate 51 is used to limit the corresponding terminal to prevent it from falling off. However, when the terminal is inserted into the socket of the connector, the socket clamping force is greater than the thrust of the corresponding pushing spring 52. Therefore, the connector can indirectly drive the terminal to get rid of the clamping of its clamping plate 51 and remain on the corresponding connector.

[0055] An arc-shaped groove 53 is also formed on the end face of the U-shaped plate 20, and several partition plates 54 corresponding to the installation grooves 23 one by one are arranged on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 53. Some terminals are connected with cables. Therefore, the arc-shaped groove 53 is used to accommodate the cables, and the partition plates 54 are used to separate the cables to prevent the cables from being wound.

[0056] The above implementation process describes the insertion of the connector on both sides, and in actual use, some cables are installed with terminals on both sides, and the terminals need to be inserted into two connectors. In this case, the operator removes the corresponding C-shaped plate 20, installs the C-shaped plate 20 carrying the connecting clamp 4 on the support plates 13 on both sides, and installs the C-shaped plate 20 carrying the terminal clamp 5 on the middle support plate 13, and then places the cable in the corresponding arc groove 53, and the terminals at both ends are respectively clamped in the terminal clamps 5 on both sides of the support plate 13, and then the middle support plate 13 is driven to move toward the support plates 13 on both sides, and the terminals on both sides of the cable are respectively inserted into the connectors on the support plates 13 on both sides.

[0057] After the connection is completed, the terminal will be separated from the corresponding terminal clamp 5. When the support plate 13 moves to the next support plate 13, if the cable is short, it will be stretched or broken. Therefore, before the connection is made, the support plates 13 on both sides can be moved toward the middle support plate 13 for a distance, and then the middle support plate 13 can be driven to move. The support plates 13 on both sides and the middle support plate 13 can be moved to adapt to a variety of assembly tasks. According to the insertion order of the terminal connector and the cable length, the operator can decide whether to only drive the support plates 13 on both sides to move, or only the middle support plate 13 to move, or all the support plates 13 to move in coordination, thereby improving applicability.

[0058] Example 2: Reference Figure 8 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, in order to be able to drive the sliding columns 12 on both sides and the sliding column 12 in the middle to move respectively, a driving unit 6 is arranged at the bottom of the rectangular plate 1 to drive it; specifically, the driving unit 6 includes a bending plate 1 60, a bending plate 2 61, a rectangular block 62, a screw rod 1 63 and a screw rod 2 64, the bending plate 1 60 is arranged at the lower ends of the sliding columns 12 on both sides, the lower end of the middle sliding column 12 is provided with a bending plate 2 61, and four rectangular blocks 62 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the rectangular plate 1, and a screw rod 1 63 and a screw rod 2 64 are arranged between the two rectangular blocks 62 for common rotation, and the screw rod 1 63 passes through the two bending plates 1 60 and is threadedly connected thereto, and the screw rod 2 64 passes through the bending plate 2 61 and is threadedly connected thereto.

[0059] That is, the corresponding two rectangular blocks 62 can limit the corresponding screw rods 1 63 and 64, and screw rods 1 63 and 64 can be rotated under the limit of the corresponding rectangular blocks 62 under the drive of external force, and screw rods 1 63 and 64 can respectively drive the sliding columns 12 on both sides and the middle to move through the corresponding bending plates 1 60 and 2 61 during the rotation process.

[0060] Example 3: Reference Fig. 9As shown, on the basis of embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, in order to be able to drive screw rod 1 63 and screw rod 2 64 to rotate respectively, a regulating component 7 is arranged between the two supporting legs 10; specifically, the regulating component 7 includes a driving gear 70, a limiting strip plate 71, a sliding plate 72, a transmission shaft 73, a transmission gear 74, a regulating screw rod 75 and a handle 76, the two driving gears 70 are respectively sleeved on one side of the screw rod 1 63 and the screw rod 2 64 passing through the corresponding rectangular block 62, and a limiting strip plate 71 with a U-shaped cross-section is symmetrically arranged between the two supporting legs 10, a sliding plate 72 is slidably arranged between the limiting strip plates 71, a transmission shaft 73 is rotatably inserted in the middle of the sliding plate 72, and a transmission gear 74 located between the two driving gears 70 is sleeved on one side of the transmission shaft 73.

[0061] By connecting an external drive motor to one side of the transmission shaft 73 and driving it to rotate, the transmission gear 74 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the sliding plate 72 moves in the limiting strip 71, so that the transmission gear 74 is respectively engaged with the driving gears 70 on both sides, thereby driving the screw rod 1 63 and the screw rod 2 64 to rotate respectively.

[0062] A regulating screw rod 75 is also inserted between the two supporting legs 10 for common rotation, and the regulating screw rod 75 slides through the sliding plate 72 and is threadedly connected thereto. A handle 76 is provided on one side of the regulating screw rod 75 outside the supporting leg 10. The operator drives the regulating screw rod 75 to rotate through the handle 76, and the regulating screw rod 75 can drive the sliding plate 72 to move under the limit of the corresponding limit strip 71.

[0063] Example 4: Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, on the basis of Example 2 and Example 3, in order to connect multiple devices so that the screw rods 1 63 and screw rods 2 64 on multiple devices can rotate synchronously, a hexagonal plate 8 is respectively provided on one side of the screw rod 1 63 and screw rod 2 64, and a hexagonal plate 8 corresponding to the hexagonal plate 8 is opened on the other side of the screw rod 1 63 and screw rod 2 64, that is, during use, multiple devices are placed together horizontally, so that the hexagonal plate 8 on the screw rod 1 63 and screw rod 2 64 on one device can be inserted into the hexagonal groove 80 on the screw rod 1 63 and screw rod 2 64 on another device, that is, only one control component 7 needs to be retained on the device, and multiple devices can be controlled together.

[0064] In addition, the present invention also provides a terminal connector automatic assembly method, comprising the following steps: S1, assembly preparation: align the sliding wheel 22 with the sliding groove 21 so that the U-shaped plate 20 moves to the upper end of the supporting plate 13.
