Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminal crimping equipment, and in particular to a working method of an automatic folding and pushing-integrated equipment. Background Art

[0002] Flexible circuit boards (FPCs) establish connections between two or more isolated and different electronic circuits to achieve current or signal flow, allowing various electronic components to perform various functions. They are widely used in home appliances, automotive lighting, digital communications and other fields. In order to improve the connection convenience of wires, it is often necessary to punch terminals on both ends of the wires, and then insert the terminals at both ends of the wires into the plug shell to form a flexible circuit board with a double-ended plug shell. When in use, it can be directly connected to electrical equipment by plugging.

[0003] For example, the document with Chinese patent application number 202411082189.3 and publication date 2024.09.06 discloses a flexible FPC connector automatic bending and plugging device and its bending and plugging machine, wherein the double-head shell terminal machine includes a connector bearing mechanism, an FPC bearing mechanism, a first plugging pad mechanism, a second plugging pad mechanism, a bending mechanism and a pre-pushing mechanism, and the connector bearing mechanism includes a plug-in drive assembly and a bearing and pushing assembly; the plug-in drive assembly is arranged on the base; the bearing and pushing assembly is arranged on the output end of the plug-in drive assembly; the FPC bearing mechanism is fixedly arranged on the front side of the base; the first plugging pad mechanism and the second plugging pad mechanism are respectively arranged on both sides of the FPC bearing mechanism; the bending mechanism is arranged on the base; and the pre-pushing mechanism is arranged on the front side of the base.

[0004] In the above-mentioned document, a plug-in pad of preset thickness is used to automatically insert into the gap space between the double rows of probes, effectively controlling the bending parallelism of the probe cable, and adopting automatic pre-insertion and deep-insertion graded insertion methods. The plug-in is completed in the form of relative movement of the connectors, and the probe pre-top function is integrated to achieve high-position precision plug-in. During the plug-in process, the bending structure, the clamping structure and the FPC set on the supporting mechanism are all fixed. However, in actual application, since FPCs have different models, the pin needles on different models of FPCs have different widths, and the fixed bending structure, clamping structure and supporting mechanism can only be used to plug in FPCs of the same model, and cannot be used for plug-in operations of other different models of FPCs, and have low applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0051] S1 drives the carrier assembly to move a preset height in the vertical direction, so that the carrier assembly and the folding table z30 provided on the folding assembly are at the same height. The second lateral movement drive cylinder drives the second lateral movement guide rod z3 connected to the supporting assembly to move, thereby driving the supporting plate z5 provided on the supporting assembly to move, so that the FPC connection end side z8 placed on the supporting plate z5 moves to the carrier assembly, and then the FPC connection end side z8 is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption device provided on the carrier assembly;

[0052] S2 adjusts the distance between the two flip assemblies by driving the flip assembly to move according to the distance between the two sides of the FPC connection end to be flipped on one side of the FPC connection end. In this embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the distance between the two sides of the FPC connection end to be flipped is the distance L between the upper pin and the lower pin of the FPC connection end. The first transverse driving assembly drives the first transverse slider z12 to slide on the first transverse slide rail z13, thereby driving the first transverse support plate z14 provided on the first transverse slider z12 to move, so that the first longitudinal assembly connected to the first transverse support plate z14 moves in the X direction, thereby causing the folding assembly provided on the first longitudinal assembly to move in the X direction, so that the folding table z30 provided on the folding assembly is aligned with the other side z10 of the FPC connection end in the X direction, and the first transverse adjuster (not marked in the figure) is used to adjust the distance of the folding table z30 in the X direction to an accuracy of 0.1 mm, so that the positioning teeth z31 provided on the folding table z30 are accurately aligned one by one with the upper pin z11 of the other side z10 of the FPC connection end in the X direction;

[0053] S3 drives the first longitudinal movement slider z23 to move on the first longitudinal movement rail z24 through the first longitudinal movement cylinder z26 according to the height difference between the bearing assembly and the folding assembly, thereby driving the first longitudinal movement support seat z25 provided on the first longitudinal movement slider z23 to move, so that the folding assembly connected to the first longitudinal movement support seat z25 moves in the Y direction, so that the folding table z30 provided on the folding assembly is aligned with the other side z10 of the FPC connection end in the Y direction, and the distance of the folding table z30 in the Y direction is adjusted by the first longitudinal movement adjuster z33 with an accuracy of 0.1mm, so that the positioning teeth z31 provided on the folding table z30 are accurately aligned one by one with the upper pins z11 of the other side z10 of the FPC connection end in the Y direction;

[0054] After S4 determines that the folding table z30 set on the folding assembly is aligned with the other side z10 of the FPC connection end in both the X and Y directions, the gasket assembly z55 is moved above the FPC connection end, and then the adsorption device set on the folding table z30 is used to adsorb and fix the other side z10 of the FPC connection end. Then, the folding drive motor z27 drives the folding table z30 to fold 180 degrees, so that the other side z10 of the FPC connection end is located above the one side z8 of the FPC connection end. After folding, the gasket assembly z5 is removed. 5. The pre-insertion device drives the material placed on the pre-insertion device to be pre-inserted, and the pushing device z56 presses the FPC connecting end so that the FPC connecting end is completely inserted into the material. After the pushing is completed, the pressing driving motor z46 drives the pressing moving slider z51 on the pressing moving module z47, and then the pressing driving cylinder z48 connected to the pressing moving slider z51 moves to the top of the pre-insertion device, and the pressing driving cylinder z48 drives the pressing block z53 to descend to press the FPC connecting end inserted into the material.

[0055] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Since different models of FPC connection ends have different sizes and lengths, a second movable transverse moving component can be set so that the second transverse moving component drives the FPC connection end placed on the supporting component to move, and then one side of the FPC connection end is moved to the load-bearing component and adsorbed and fixed by an adsorption device set on the load-bearing component, and then the folding component is driven to move in the X direction and the Y direction by the first transverse moving component and the first longitudinal moving component respectively, so that the folding component is aligned with the other side of the FPC connection end, and after alignment, the other side of the FPC connection end is adsorbed and fixed on the folding component to realize folding, so that the other side of the FPC connection end is accurately folded above one side of the FPC connection end, and finally the pre-insertion is completed by the pre-insertion device, the pushing and inserting is completed by the pushing and inserting device, and the pressing buckle component is moved to the top of the pre-insertion device and presses the FPC connection end inserted in the material.
