[0032] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

[0033] During the cutting process of the crimping machine, the knife die and the metal crimping friction will produce metal scraps. At the same time, since the knife needs to be lubricated from time to time, the metal scraps will be adsorbed on the crimping die over time. However, the applicant found that the existing crimping machine cannot automatically clean the metal scraps, which will affect the crimping quality of the crimping machine.

[0034] In view of this, the present application embodiment provides a crimping machine, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 The structure of the crimping machine provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 ; Figure 2 Indicated Figure 1 A magnified schematic diagram of the middle A area; Figure 3 The structure of the crimping machine provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The crimping machine in the embodiment of the present application includes a body 100 and a cleaning assembly 200; wherein the body 100 includes a crimping portion 110; the cleaning assembly 200 includes a purge device 210 and a switch device 220 connected thereto; the purge device 210 has an air outlet 211, and the air outlet 211 is arranged toward the crimping portion 110; the switch device 220 is electrically connected to the body 100, and the switch device 220 responds to an electrical signal of the body 100 to open or close the air path of the purge device 210.

[0035] Specifically, by responding to the electrical signal of the body 100 and arranging the air outlet 211 toward the crimping part 110, the purge device 210 can regularly clean the crimping part 110 to effectively remove dust, debris and other impurities on the crimping part 110, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the crimping machine and extending the life of the crimping machine. At the same time, through the electrical connection between the body 100 and the cleaning component 200, it is only necessary to respond to the corresponding electrical signal to control the cleaning process, without directly contacting or operating the cleaning component 200, making the cleaning process more convenient and safe.

[0036] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 200 further includes an air source 230, which is connected to the switch device 220. The air source 230 opens the air path in response to the switch device 220 to provide gas to the purge device 210. The gas provided by the air source 230 may be compressed gas, and the dust, debris and other impurities on the crimping portion 110 may be more thoroughly removed by the gas jet, thereby ensuring that the cleaning process is more thorough and effective.

[0037] In some embodiments, the body 100 further includes a main body 120 and a control unit 130; wherein the crimping unit 110 is disposed on the main body 120; the control unit 130 is used to control the crimping unit 110 to perform crimping; the switch device 220 responds to the electrical signal generated by the crimping unit 110 performing crimping to open or close the air path between the switch device 220 and the purge device 210. Through the connection between the control unit 130 and the crimping unit 110, the control unit 130 sends an electrical signal to the crimping unit 110 as needed to adjust the parameters such as the crimping force and time, so as to achieve precise control of the crimping process and ensure the accuracy and stability of the crimping. At the same time, when the crimping machine is working, each time the crimping unit 110 performs crimping, an electrical signal will be generated. In real time, in response to the electrical signal, the switch device 220 opens or closes the air path between the switch device 220 and the purge device 210, thereby realizing the automation and accurate control of the cleaning process and reducing the need for manual operation. In addition, this mechanism of real-time response to signals can ensure necessary cleaning operations during the crimping process, improving the reliability and stability of the crimping machine.

[0038] In some embodiments, the crimping portion 110 includes a cutting die 111 and a crimping die 112, the cutting die 111 and the crimping die 112 surround a crimping area 113, and the air outlet 211 is disposed toward the crimping area 113. In this way, the air blown out of the air outlet 211 can be accurately directed to the part to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0039] In some embodiments, the crimping area 113 includes a placement groove 1131, which is formed on the side of the crimping die 112 facing the knife die 111, and the gas outlet 211 is located obliquely above the placement groove 1131. The gas outlet 211 is located obliquely above the placement groove 1131, and the gas flow path is guided to effectively guide the gas and reduce the accumulation of the gas. Therefore, no additional steps are required to remove the gas during the crimping process, which saves time and operation steps, improves the cleaning efficiency, and further improves the crimping quality.

[0040] In some embodiments, the outlet direction of the air outlet 211 and the extension direction of the placement groove 1131 have an angle α, which satisfies: 0°<α<90°. For example, α can be any value of 1°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, or any range value between two of them; within this range, a specific value can be selected according to the metal or other material of the specific operation. In the embodiment of the present application, the angle α can be measured by a measuring tool such as a vernier caliper or a micrometer.

[0041] In some embodiments, there is a distance L between the crimping portion 110 and the air outlet 211, which satisfies: 50mm≤L≤150mm. For example, L can be any value of 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, 105mm, 110mm, 115mm, 120mm, 125mm, 130mm, 135mm, 140mm, 145mm, 150mm, or a range value between any two of them; within this range, a specific value can be selected according to the metal or other material of the specific operation. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance L can be measured by a measuring tool such as a vernier caliper or a micrometer.

[0042] In some embodiments, the purging device 210 further includes a vent pipe 212 and a nozzle 213; wherein the switch device 220 is connected between the gas source 230 and the vent pipe 212; the nozzle 213 has a corresponding first end 2131 and a second end 2132, the first end 2131 is connected to the vent pipe 212, and the gas outlet 211 is located at the second end 2132. In this way, the switch device 220 can adjust the pressure of the gas source 230 to adjust the gas flow and pressure of the nozzle 213 as needed to meet the purging requirements under different working conditions. At the same time, the first end 2131 of the nozzle 213 is connected to the vent pipe 212 to ensure the stable transmission of the gas from the vent pipe 212 to the nozzle 213, and the second end 2132 is provided with the gas outlet 211 to accurately control the purging position and range to meet various cleaning requirements. In addition, the gas outlet 211 is located at the second end 2132, so that the gas injection direction is toward the target area to be purged, and the cleaning position is accurately controlled.

[0043] In some embodiments, the nozzle 213 has a jet channel 2133 inside, and the jet channel 2133 passes through the first end 2131 and the second end 2132 to form the air outlet 211. The jet channel 2133 gradually decreases in size from the first end 2131 to the second end 2132. As the size of the jet channel 2133 gradually decreases, when the airflow passes through the jet channel 2133, the flow rate will increase accordingly, so that the airflow speed ejected from the air outlet 211 is higher, thereby increasing the blowing force and impact force; at the same time, the gradual reduction in the size of the jet channel 2133 can make the airflow more concentrated and stable, and the jet channel 2133 will produce a vortex effect, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the target surface, improving the cleaning effect and the ability to remove dirt. In this way, the above embodiment can more effectively clean or blow away metal scraps, dust or other residues in the target area.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 200 includes a plurality of purge devices 210, and a plurality of air outlets 211 are arranged around the crimping portion 110. Through the plurality of purge devices 210 and the plurality of air outlets 211 arranged around the crimping portion 110, the crimping portion 110 can be fully cleaned. Specifically, each air outlet 211 can spray airflow, and evenly distribute the airflow around the crimping portion 110, so as to provide all-round cleaning coverage, avoid the generation of dead corners and loopholes, and ensure the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of cleaning.

[0045] In some embodiments, the switch device 220 is a solenoid valve. In the embodiment of the present application, the switch device 220 is selected as a solenoid valve to achieve the effects of rapid response, precise control and remote control to meet the cleaning needs in different scenarios.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a crimping machine, comprising: a body 100, the body 100 including a crimping part 110; a cleaning assembly 200, the cleaning assembly 200 including a connected purge device 210 and a switch device 220; the purge device 210 has an air outlet 211, and the air outlet 211 is arranged toward the crimping part 110; the switch device 220 is electrically connected to the body 100, and the switch device 220 responds to the electrical signal of the body 100 to open or close the air path between the switch device 220 and the purge device 210.
