Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire clamp assembly technology, and more specifically to a wire clamp assembly system. Background Technology

[0002] The detonator clamp includes an upper cover, a lower cover, and two metal terminals located on the lower cover. The upper and lower covers are usually produced by injection molding, while the metal terminals are usually produced by stamping metal sheets. The materials and production processes are different. After production, the lower cover and the upper cover are rotatably connected by a pivot and a pivot groove. The metal terminals have through slots, and the two metal terminals are inserted into the lower cover by insertion. After assembly, they form a complete clamp.

[0003] Currently, detonator clamps are generally assembled manually. The operator inserts the shaft of the lower cover into the shaft groove of the lower cover and inserts the metal terminal into the lower cover.

[0004] Assembling the wire clamps manually is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a wire clamp assembly system to solve the technical problem that the upper cover, lower cover and terminals of the wire clamp need to be assembled manually in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a turntable device, including a worktable, a turntable rotatably connected to the worktable, and a plurality of clamps spaced apart on the turntable along the rotation direction of the turntable. The clamps are formed with an upper cover groove and a lower cover groove, respectively accommodating an upper cover and a lower cover of a wire clamp; and

[0008] The turntable is provided with a lower cover feeding device, an upper cover feeding device, a terminal feeding device, and an unloading device arranged sequentially along its circumference. The lower cover feeding device is used to transfer the lower cover to the lower cover slot. The upper cover feeding device is used to transfer the upper cover to the upper cover slot and to make the rotating shaft of the upper cover engage with the rotating shaft slot of the lower cover. The terminal feeding device is used to install the terminal into the upper cover. The unloading device is used to remove the assembled wire clamp from the fixture.

[0009] In one embodiment, the wire clamp assembly system further includes a clamping device disposed between the upper cover feeding device and the terminal feeding device, for clamping both sides of the connection between the upper cover and the lower cover on the clamp that has been rotated to the clamping device.

[0010] In one embodiment, the clamp assembly system further includes a first detection device, which is disposed between the lower cover feeding device and the upper cover feeding device, for detecting whether a lower cover is installed on the clamp when it is rotated to the first detection device.

[0011] In one embodiment, the wire clamp assembly system further includes a second detection device disposed between the terminal feeding device and the unloading device, for detecting whether the terminal is installed on the upper cover for the terminal on the clamp rotated to the second detection device.

[0012] In one embodiment, the clamp assembly system further includes a third detection device disposed between the lower cover feeding device and the unloading device, for detecting whether the clamp rotated to the third detection device is equipped with an upper cover and a lower cover.

[0013] In one embodiment, the clamping device includes a clamping seat, two clamping jaws, a hinge rod, and a clamping cylinder. The clamping seat is fixed to the worktable. Both clamping jaws are hinged to the clamping seat. When the fixture rotates to the clamping seat, one end of each clamping jaw is located on both sides of the fixture. One end of each hinge rod is hinged to the other end of each clamping jaw. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder is hinged to the other end of each hinge rod.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clamping jaw is slidably connected to the clamping seat along its rotation axis. The clamping device further includes a connecting seat and a slider. The connecting seat is slidably connected to the clamping seat along the rotation axis of the turntable. The slider is slidably connected to the connecting seat along the rotation axis of the clamping jaw and is hinged to the other ends of both hinge rods. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder is connected to the connecting seat and is hinged to the other ends of both hinge rods via the connecting seat and the slider.

[0015] In one embodiment, one end of the clamping claw has a clamping protrusion formed at the connection between the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0016] In one embodiment, the top cover feeding device includes:

[0017] The upper cover moving assembly is capable of moving towards and away from the clamp.

[0018] The cover clamping assembly, connected to the cover moving assembly, is used to clamp and release the cover; and

[0019] An abutment component is connected to the upper cover moving component for abutting the pivot of the upper cover and for pushing the pivot into the pivot groove of the lower cover when the upper cover moving component moves vertically.

[0020] In one embodiment, the terminal feeding device includes a terminal moving assembly and a terminal clamping assembly. The terminal moving assembly is connected to the worktable and can move towards and away from the clamp. The terminal clamping assembly includes a plug-in portion, a clamping portion, and an elastic portion. One end of the plug-in portion is connected to the terminal moving assembly, and the other end engages with the through slot of the terminal. The clamping portion is rotatably connected to the plug-in portion for clamping the terminal with the plug-in portion. The elastic portion is connected to the plug-in portion and the clamping portion for providing elastic force for the plug-in portion to clamp the terminal.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the wire clamp assembly system provided by the present invention drives the turntable to rotate relative to the worktable when assembling the wire clamp. The rotating worktable drives multiple clamps to rotate, so that the multiple clamps sequentially pass through the lower cover loading device, the upper cover loading device, the terminal loading device, and the unloading device. When the clamp passes through the lower cover loading device, the lower cover loading device moves the lower cover to the lower cover groove of the clamp. When the clamp passes through the upper cover loading device, the upper cover moves to the upper cover groove of the clamp, and the upper cover and the lower cover are rotatably connected. When the clamp passes through the terminal loading device, the terminal loading device inserts the terminal into the upper cover. When the clamp passes through the unloading device, the unloading device removes the assembled wire clamp from the clamp. This cycle is repeated continuously, which can realize the assembly of the wire clamp without the need for manual assembly of the upper cover, lower cover and terminals of the wire clamp.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0049] To address the technical problem in existing technologies that require manual assembly of the upper cover A, lower cover B, and terminal C of a wire clamp, this invention provides a wire clamp assembly system that enables the assembly of the upper cover A, lower cover B, and terminal C of the wire clamp without manual intervention.

[0050] It should be noted that the wire clamp assembly system described in this invention is used for, but not limited to, wire clamp assembly. For ease of explanation, this invention will only use the application of the wire clamp assembly system to wire clamp assembly as an example. The principle of the wire clamp assembly system applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to wire clamp assembly, and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the wire clamp assembly system in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a turntable 12 and multiple clamps 13. A wire clamp assembly system includes a turntable device 1, a lower cover feeding device 2, an upper cover feeding device 3, a terminal feeding device 4, and a discharge device 5. The turntable device 1 includes a worktable 11, a turntable 12 rotatably connected to the worktable 11, and multiple clamps 13 spaced apart along the rotation direction of the turntable 12. Each clamp 13 has an upper cover groove 13a and a lower cover groove 13a respectively for accommodating the upper cover A and lower cover B of the wire clamp. b; The lower cover loading device 2, the upper cover loading device 3, the terminal loading device 4, and the unloading device 5 are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the turntable 12. The lower cover loading device 2 is used to transfer the lower cover B to the lower cover groove 13b. The upper cover loading device 3 is used to transfer the upper cover A to the upper cover groove 13a, and make the rotating shaft A1 of the upper cover A snap into the rotating shaft groove B1 of the lower cover B. The terminal loading device 4 is used to install the terminal C into the upper cover A. The unloading device 5 is used to remove the assembled wire clamp from the clamp 13.

[0052] Specifically, when assembling the wire clamp, the turntable 12 is driven to rotate relative to the worktable 11. The rotating worktable 11 drives multiple clamps 13 to rotate, so that the multiple clamps 13 pass through the lower cover loading device 2, the upper cover loading device 3, the terminal loading device 4, and the unloading device 5 in sequence. When the clamp 13 passes through the lower cover loading device 2, the lower cover loading device 2 moves the lower cover B to the lower cover groove 13b of the clamp 13. When the clamp 13 passes through the upper cover loading device 3, it moves the upper cover A to the upper cover groove 13a of the clamp 13, and makes the upper cover A and the lower cover B rotatably connected. When the clamp passes through the terminal loading device 4, the terminal loading device 4 puts the terminal C into the upper cover A. When the clamp 13 passes through the unloading device 5, the unloading device 5 removes the assembled wire clamp from the clamp 13. This cycle is repeated continuously, which can realize the assembly of the wire clamp without the need for manual assembly of the upper cover A, lower cover B and terminal C of the wire clamp.

[0053] The turntable 12 can be driven by a motor and gear transmission assembly, a motor and belt transmission assembly, or a motor and reducer.

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, during the process of the upper cover feeding device 3 inserting the rotating shaft A1 of the upper cover A into the rotating shaft groove B1 of the lower cover B, the rotating shaft A1 is usually inserted into the rotating shaft groove B1 by pressing down. When the rotating shaft A1 is inserted into the rotating shaft groove B1, the rotating shaft A1 will open the inner walls at both ends of the rotating shaft groove B1. Part of the rotating shaft A1 may be stuck on the inner wall of the rotating shaft groove B1. At this time, the rotating shaft A1 does not form a stable rotational engagement with the rotating shaft groove B1. Therefore, if... Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the wire clamp assembly system further includes a clamping device 6, which is disposed between the upper cover feeding device 3 and the terminal feeding device 4, and is used to clamp the two sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B on the clamp 13 that has been rotated to the clamping device 6.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the clamp 13 drives the upper cover A and the lower cover B to rotate to the clamping device 6, the clamping device 6 is activated. The clamping device 6 clamps both sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B. During the clamping process, it can drive the inner walls of the spread-out rotating shaft groove B1 to come closer together. The inner walls of the rotating shaft groove B1 that come closer together push the rotating shaft A1 to the set position, so that the rotating shaft A1 and the rotating shaft groove B1 form a stable fit.

[0056] If, during the loading process, the lower cover loading device 2 fails to move the lower cover B into the lower cover slot 13b of the fixture 13 for some reason, subsequent assembly will be impossible. Therefore, if... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamp assembly system further includes a first detection device 7, which is disposed between the lower cover feeding device 2 and the upper cover feeding device 3, and is used to detect the clamp 13 that has been rotated to the first detection device 7, and to detect whether the lower cover B is installed on the clamp 13.

[0057] By setting up a first detection device 7, the first detection device 7 can detect whether the lower cover B is installed on the fixture 13 that passes through the lower cover loading device 2. When it is detected that the lower cover B is not installed, the subsequent upper cover loading device 3, terminal loading device 4 and unloading device 5 are controlled not to perform assembly operations on the fixture 13, that is, the upper cover A is not loaded, the terminal C is not loaded and the wire clamp is not unloaded on the fixture 13. When the first detection device 7 detects that the lower cover B is installed on the fixture 13, the subsequent upper cover loading device 3, terminal loading device 4 and unloading device 5 normally perform the loading of upper cover A, the loading of terminal C and the unloading of wire clamp.

[0058] The first detection device 7 can be a photoelectric sensor, a vision inspection system, a coordinate measuring machine, a proximity sensor, etc., and the above detection can be achieved through the above devices.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first detection device 7 includes a first cylinder 71 and a first proximity sensor 72 connected to the output shaft of the first cylinder 71, the first cylinder 71 being fixed to the worktable 11.

[0060] The first cylinder 71 drives the first proximity sensor 72 to move closer to or away from the clamp 13. When the first proximity sensor 72 moves closer to the clamp 13, the first proximity sensor 72 determines whether the lower cover B is installed inside the clamp 13.

[0061] If, during terminal feeding, the terminal feeding device 4 fails to move terminal C into the upper cover A or fails to insert terminal C into the preset position of the mounting slot A2 of the upper cover A for some reason, the assembled wire clamp will be a defective product. Therefore, if... Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the wire clamp assembly system further includes a second detection device 8, which is disposed between the terminal feeding device 4 and the unloading device 5, and is used to detect whether the terminal C is installed on the upper cover A for the terminal C on the clamp 13 that has been rotated to the second detection device 8.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second detection device 8 can detect whether the terminal C is installed on the upper cover A inside the terminal feeding device 4. When the terminal C is not detected or the terminal C is not installed in place, the subsequent unloading device 5 is controlled. The unloading device 5 removes the upper cover A and lower cover B on the clamp 13 as unqualified products. When the second detection device 8 detects that the terminal C on the upper cover A is installed in place, the subsequent unloading device 5 unloads the wire clamp normally. At this time, the unloaded wire clamp is a qualified product.

[0063] The second detection device 8 can be a photoelectric sensor, a vision inspection system, a coordinate measuring machine, a proximity sensor, etc., and the above detection can be achieved through the above devices.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the second detection device 8 includes a second cylinder 81 and a second proximity sensor 82 connected to the output shaft of the second cylinder 81, the second cylinder 81 being fixed to the worktable 11.

[0065] The second cylinder 81 drives the second proximity sensor 82 to move closer to or away from the clamp 13. When the second proximity sensor 82 moves closer to the clamp 13, it determines whether terminal C is installed inside the clamp 13. There are two second proximity sensors 82, and each of the two second proximity sensors 82 is set to correspond one-to-one with the two terminals C. Both second proximity sensors 82 are connected to the output shaft of the second cylinder 81.

[0066] When the wire clamp is being unloaded by the unloading device 5, if for some reason the unloading device 5 fails to remove the wire clamp from the fixture 13, the wire clamp remaining in the fixture 13 will affect the normal assembly of the subsequent lower cover loading device 2, upper cover loading device 3, and terminal loading device 4. Therefore, if... Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the wire clamp assembly system further includes a third detection device 9, which is disposed between the lower cover feeding device 2 and the unloading device 5, and is used to detect the clamp 13 that has been rotated to the third detection device 9, so as to detect whether the upper cover A and the lower cover B are installed on the clamp 13.

[0067] In this embodiment, the third detection device 9 can detect whether the clamp 13 passing through the unloading device 5 still has an upper cover A and a lower cover B. When the third detection device 9 detects that the upper cover A and the lower cover B are present on the clamp 13, it controls the subsequent lower cover loading device 2, upper cover loading device 3 and terminal loading device 4 to stop loading and assembling the lower cover B, upper cover A and terminal C on the clamp 13. When the clamp 13 passes through the unloading device 5 again, the unloading device 5 removes the remaining upper cover A and lower cover B from the clamp 13. When the third detection device 9 detects that the upper cover A and lower cover B are not present on the clamp 13, it controls the lower cover loading device 2, upper cover loading device 3, terminal loading device 4 and unloading device 5 to assemble the wire clamp normally.

[0068] The third detection device 9 can be a photoelectric sensor, a vision inspection system, a coordinate measuring machine, a proximity sensor, etc., and the above detection can be achieved through the above devices.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the third detection device 9 includes a third cylinder 91 and a third proximity sensor 92 connected to the output shaft of the third cylinder 91. The third cylinder 91 is fixed to the worktable 11.

[0070] The third cylinder 91 drives the third proximity sensor 92 to approach or move away from the clamp 13. When the third proximity sensor 92 approaches the clamp 13, it determines whether the upper cover A and the lower cover B remain in the clamp 13.

[0071] To achieve the clamping device 6 clamping the rotating shaft A1 and rotating shaft groove B1 of the assembled upper cover A and lower cover B, the clamping device 6 can be a clamping cylinder, a pneumatic clamping jaw, an electric clamping jaw, etc., specifically, such as... Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping device 6 includes a clamping seat 61, two clamping claws 62, a hinge rod 63, and a clamping cylinder 64. The clamping seat 61 is fixed to the workbench 11. The two clamping claws 62 are hinged to the clamping seat 61. When the fixture 13 rotates to the clamping seat 61, one end of the two clamping claws 62 is located on both sides of the fixture 13. One end of the two hinge rods 63 is hinged to the other end of the two clamping claws 62 respectively. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder 64 is hinged to the other end of the two hinge rods 63.

[0072] When it is necessary to clamp the two sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B using the clamping device 6, the clamping cylinder 64 is activated. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder 64 retracts, driving the two hinge rods 63 to move away from the fixture 13. The hinge rods 63 drive one end of the two clamping jaws 62 to rotate towards each other, clamping the two sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B through the two clamping jaws moving towards each other. When it is necessary to control the two clamping jaws 62 to release the upper cover A and the lower cover B, the clamping cylinder 64 is activated. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder 64 extends, and the two extended hinge rods 63 move towards the fixture 13. The hinge rods 63 drive one end of the two clamping jaws 62 to rotate away from each other. At this time, the two clamping jaws 62 release the upper cover A and the lower cover B, allowing the fixture 13, the upper cover A, and the lower cover B to pass between the two clamping jaws 62.

[0073] Since the clamping seat 61 is fixed to the worktable 11, and the cylinder and clamping jaws 62 are fixed to the clamping seat 61, and the fixture 13 is fixed to the worktable 11, in order to adapt the clamping jaws 62 to the position of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B on the fixture 13, the positions of the two clamping jaws 62 need to be adjusted accordingly, so that the two clamping jaws 62 are located on both sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B. Therefore, as follows... Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping jaw 62 is slidably connected to the clamping seat 61 along its rotation axis. The clamping device 6 also includes a connecting seat 65 and a slider 66. The connecting seat 65 is slidably connected to the clamping seat 61 along the rotation axis of the turntable 12. The slider 66 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 65 along the rotation axis of the clamping jaw 62 and is hinged to the other end of both hinge rods 63. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder 64 is connected to the connecting seat 65 and is hinged to the other end of both hinge rods 63 via the connecting seat 65 and the slider 66.

[0074] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the two clamping claws 62, the slider 66 is controlled to slide relative to the connecting seat 65 along the rotation axis of the clamping claws 62. The slider 66 drives the hinge rod 63 and the two clamping claws 62 to slide. Moreover, during the sliding process, the clamping claws 62 are always hinged to the clamping seat 61, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the two clamping claws 62. This allows the two clamping claws 62 to move to both sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B on the fixture 13, so that the two clamping claws 62 can clamp both sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B.

[0075] The sliding slider 66 can be fixed to the connecting seat 65 by means of a set screw, a snap fastener, or other structure.

[0076] When the cylinder operates, it drives the clamping jaws 62 to rotate. The rotating clamping jaws 62 may make line contact with the upper cover A and the lower cover B, making it impossible to stably transmit the clamping force. Therefore, as follows: Figure 13As shown, in one embodiment, a clamping protrusion 67 is formed at one end of the clamping claw 62 relative to the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B.

[0077] By providing clamping protrusions 67 on the clamping claws 62, when the clamping claws 62 rotate to clamp the two sides of the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B, the clamping protrusions 67 abut against the connection between the upper cover A and the lower cover B, and clamp the upper cover A and the lower cover B by clamping the clamping protrusions, thus avoiding line contact between the clamping claws 62 and the upper cover A and the lower cover B.

[0078] It should be understood that the lower cover loading device 2 can be a multi-axis robotic arm capable of loading materials, specifically, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower cover feeding device 2 includes a lower cover moving component 21 and a lower cover clamping component 22. The lower cover moving component 21 is disposed on the worktable 11 and can move toward or away from the clamp 13. The lower cover clamping component 22 is connected to the lower cover moving component 21 and is used to move the lower cover B into the lower cover groove 13b of the clamp 13.

[0079] The lower cover moving assembly 21 can be a multi-axis robotic arm or a multi-axis moving platform, etc. Specifically, in one embodiment, the lower cover moving assembly 21 consists of two vertically arranged moving mechanisms, which are composed of a slide rail, a slide rail, and a drive cylinder. This is an existing structure and will not be discussed in detail in this application.

[0080] The lower cover clamping assembly 22 can be a pneumatic clamping claw or an electric clamping claw, etc.

[0081] It should be understood that the top cover loading device 3 can be a multi-axis robotic arm or a multi-axis moving platform, specifically, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper cover feeding device 3 includes an upper cover moving component 31, an upper cover clamping component 32, and an abutting component 33. The upper cover moving component 31 can move towards and away from the clamp 13. The upper cover moving component 31 is connected to the upper cover moving component 31 and is used to clamp and release the upper cover A. The abutting component 33 is connected to the upper cover moving component 31 and is used to abut against the rotating shaft A1 of the upper cover A. It can also push the rotating shaft A1 into the rotating shaft groove B1 of the lower cover B when the upper cover moving component 31 moves vertically.

[0082] When it is necessary to assemble the upper cover A and the lower cover B of the clamp, the upper cover A is clamped by the two clamping claws of the clamping component. The upper cover moving component 31 drives the upper cover clamping component 32 and the upper cover A to move to the upper cover groove 13a of the clamp 13. When the upper cover A enters the upper cover groove 13a, the rotating shaft A1 of the upper cover A is inserted into the rotating shaft groove B1 of the lower cover B. In order to drive the rotating shaft A1 into the rotating shaft groove B1, an abutment component 33 is provided. When the upper cover A enters the upper cover groove 13a, the abutment component 33 pushes the rotating shaft A1 of the upper cover A into the rotating shaft groove B1 of the lower cover B. Then, the upper cover A is released by the two clamping claws of the clamping component. The upper cover moving component 31 drives the upper cover clamping component 32 and the abutment component 33 to disengage from the upper cover A for the next assembly.

[0083] The upper cover moving component 31 can be a multi-axis robotic arm or a multi-axis moving platform, for example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper cover moving assembly 31 consists of two vertically arranged moving mechanisms. One moving mechanism is arranged along the height direction for lifting and lowering, and the other moving mechanism is arranged along the direction of the parallel turntable 12 for driving the upper cover clamping assembly 32 and the abutment assembly 33 to translate relative to the turntable 12. The moving mechanism consists of a slide rail, a slide rail, and a drive cylinder. This is an existing structure and will not be discussed in detail in this application.

[0084] The upper cover clamping assembly 32 can be a cylinder clamping claw, a hydraulic clamping claw, etc.

[0085] The abutment component 33 can be an abutment strip, abutment block, etc., set relative to the rotating shaft A1.

[0086] Because the bottom outer wall of the part of the lower cover B with the pivot groove B1 is suspended, when the pivot A1 of the upper cover A is engaged with the pivot groove B1 of the lower cover B, it will push the part of the lower cover B with the pivot groove B1 downwards, causing one side of the lower cover B to tilt up, affecting the assembly of the upper cover A and the lower cover B. Therefore, if Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower cover groove 13b is formed with a protrusion 13c, which is used to support the bottom outer wall of the pivot groove B1 of the lower cover B.

[0087] By setting the protrusion 13c, the protrusion 13c can support the bottom of the part of the lower cover B with the pivot groove B1, so as to prevent the pivot A1 from pushing the lower cover B downward and rotating during the process of the pivot A1 being stuck in the pivot groove B1.

[0088] It should be understood that the terminal moving assembly 41 can be a multi-axis robot or a multi-axis moving platform, specifically, such as Figure 5 , 10As shown in Figures 11 and 12, in one embodiment, the terminal feeding device 4 includes a terminal moving assembly 41 and a terminal clamping assembly 42. The terminal moving assembly 41 is connected to the worktable 11 and can move towards and away from the clamp 13. The terminal clamping assembly 42 includes a plug-in part 421, a clamping part 422, and an elastic part 423. One end of the plug-in part 421 is connected to the terminal moving assembly 41, and the other end cooperates with the through groove C1 of the terminal C. The clamping part 422 is rotatably connected to the plug-in part 421 and is used to clamp the terminal C with the plug-in part 421. The elastic part 423 is connected to the plug-in part 421 and the clamping part 422 and is used to provide the elastic force for the plug-in part 421 to clamp the terminal C.

[0089] In this embodiment, terminal C is first loaded. Terminal moving component 41 drives terminal clamping component 42 to move, so that one end of plug part 421 is inserted into through groove C1 of terminal C. Clamping part 422 rotates relative to plug part 421 to clamp the corresponding part of terminal C. Elastic part 423 provides elastic force to ensure that clamping part 422 clamps terminal C stably and firmly. Terminal moving component 41 drives terminal clamping component 42 and terminal C to wire clamp, so that terminal C is inserted into mounting groove A2 of wire clamp and is locked in wire clamp. Then, terminal moving component 41 drives plug part 421 and clamping part 422 to disengage terminal C and wire clamp.

[0090] The terminal moving assembly 41 can be a multi-axis robot or a multi-axis moving platform, for example, such as... Figure 5 , 10 As shown in Figures 11 and 12, in one embodiment, the terminal moving assembly 41 consists of two vertically arranged moving mechanisms. One moving mechanism is arranged along the height direction for lifting and lowering, and the other moving mechanism is arranged along the direction of the parallel turntable 12 for driving the terminal clamping assembly 42 to translate relative to the turntable 12. The moving mechanism consists of a slide rail, a slide rail, and a drive cylinder. This is an existing structure and will not be discussed in detail in this application.

[0091] like Figure 5 , 10 As shown in 11 and 12, in one embodiment, there are two plug-in portions 421, which are spaced apart at the moving end of the terminal moving assembly 41 and connected to the moving end of the terminal moving assembly 41.

[0092] By providing two plug-in parts 421, each corresponding to a terminal C, the two plug-in parts 421 are used to plug into the two terminals C respectively.

[0093] It should be understood that the plug-in part 421 can be directly connected to the moving end of the terminal moving assembly 41, or it can be indirectly connected to the moving end of the terminal moving assembly 41 through slide rails, sliders 66 and guide rails.

[0094] like Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the insertion part 421 has a receiving groove 421a on the side facing the clamping part 422, and the elastic part 423 is embedded in the receiving groove 421a and abuts against the bottom inner wall of the clamping part 422 and the receiving groove 421a.

[0095] When the clamping part 422 rotates relative to the insertion part 421, the clamping part 422 compresses the elastic part 423. At this time, the elastic part 423 has a restoring elastic force and can apply elastic force to the clamping part 422, so that the clamping part 422 has an elastic clamping force for the terminal C.

[0096] It should be understood that the elastic part 423 can be a spring, a rubber block, or a silicone block, etc.

[0097] When it is necessary to clamp terminal C through clamping part 422, in order to prevent terminal C from getting stuck at the end of clamping part 422, for the following reasons, Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping portion 422 has a guide slope 422a on the side facing the insertion portion 421, and the guide slope 422a gradually deviates from the insertion portion 421 in the direction close to the terminal C.

[0098] By setting the guide slope 422a, when the clamping part 422 approaches the terminal C, the guide slope 422a of the clamping part 422 abuts against the terminal C, and the terminal C pushes the clamping part 422 to rotate, so that the clamping part 422 rotates relative to the plugging part 421 until the terminal C slides between the plugging part 421 and the clamping part 422. At this time, the elastic part 423 has the function of pushing the clamping part 422 and clamping the terminal C.

[0099] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the unloading device 5 includes an unloading moving component 51 and an unloading clamping component 52. The unloading moving component 51 is connected to the worktable 11 and can move toward or away from the clamp 13. The unloading clamping component 52 is connected to the unloading moving component 51 and is used to clamp or release the upper cover A and the lower cover B.

[0100] When it is necessary to unload the material through the unloading device 5, the unloading moving component 51 drives the unloading clamping component 52 to move, so that the unloading clamping component 52 moves above the clamp 13 and clamps the upper cover A and the lower cover B at the same time. Then, the unloading moving component 51 drives the unloading clamping component 52 and the wire clamp to disengage from the clamp 13, thus realizing the unloading of the wire clamp.

[0101] The unloading moving component 51 can be a multi-axis robot or a multi-axis moving platform, for example, such as... Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the feeding moving assembly 51 consists of two vertically arranged moving mechanisms, each consisting of a slide rail, a slide rail, and a drive cylinder. This is an existing structure and will not be discussed in detail in this application.

[0102] The unloading clamping component 52 can be a pneumatic clamping claw or an electric clamping claw, etc.

[0103] It should be understood that the lower cover feeding device 2, the upper cover feeding device 3, and the terminal feeding device 4 are respectively equipped with vibrating feeding trays for providing the lower cover, the upper cover, and the terminals.

[0104] It should be understood that the wire clamp assembly system also includes a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is connected to the first cylinder 71, the first proximity sensor 72, the second cylinder 81, the second proximity sensor 82, the third cylinder 91, the third proximity sensor 92, the lower cover moving assembly 21, the upper cover moving assembly 31, the terminal moving assembly 41, and the unloading moving assembly 51, and is used to control the automated operation of the above structures. The controller can be a PLC, an industrial computer, etc. Controlling the above structures through a controller is existing technology and will not be discussed in detail in this application.

[0105] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made in accordance with the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
