Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric connector processing, in particular to a gasket feeding device for electric connector processing. Background Art

[0002] An electrical connector is a component used to connect various components in an electronic circuit and is widely used in various electronic devices. In the production process of electrical connectors, gasket loading is a key link. The traditional gasket loading method usually adopts manual operation to place the gasket on the processing equipment for processing. However, this manual loading method has the following disadvantages: First, manual loading requires the operator to place the gaskets on the processing equipment one by one. The operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, the manual loading process requires the operator to stand or bend over for a long time, which can easily lead to fatigue and physical discomfort. Secondly, during the manual loading process, it is difficult for the operator to maintain consistent technique and strength, which can easily lead to inaccurate positioning of the gasket, thereby affecting the processing quality.

[0014] 2.

The sleeve 310 moves downward through the support frame 311 to drive the driving rod 313 to move downward along the inner cavity of the driving groove 36 until the driving rod 313 slides to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the driving groove 36, and then the driving rod 313 is used to move downward along the inner cavity of the driving groove 36. The sleeve 310 is driven upward by the electric telescopic rod 316, so that the driving rod 313 is driven upward by the sleeve 310, and the driving rod 313 and the driving groove 36 are used to drive the rotating cylinder 35 to drive the rotating platform 34 to rotate until the driving rod 313 slides to the top of the inner cavity of the driving groove 36.

That is, the gasket 38 can be used to squeeze the suction cup 416 to move upward until the suction cup 416 contacts the pressure sensor 423, and the pressure sensor 423 is used to detect the pressure value. When the pressure sensor 423 detects a suitable pressure value, the external negative pressure fan is started, and the negative pressure is generated through the negative pressure pipe 420 and the negative pressure hole 417 to adsorb the gasket 38 located at the top under the suction cup 416, and the hydraulic cylinder 48 is started to push the suction cup 416 to move upward until the limit rod 37 is separated from the suction cup 416 and the inner cavity of the storage groove 413, and the motor 42 is started. The motor 42 is used to drive the second pulley 45 to rotate through the connecting rod 43, the first pulley 44 and the belt 47, and the second pulley 45 rotates and drives the lifting rod 416 to rotate by the cooperation between the second slider 46 and the second slide groove 411. 10 is rotated until the lifting rod 410 rotates 180 degrees clockwise. At this time, the position of the suction cup 416 corresponds to the position of the electrical connector at the top of the processing platform 2. The suction cup 416 is driven downward by the hydraulic cylinder 48 until the gasket 38 is inserted into a suitable position on the electrical connector. The negative pressure fan is turned off, and the positive pressure fan is started. The gasket 38 is blown onto the electrical connector through the positive pressure pipe 421 and the positive pressure hole 418 by the positive pressure fan, and the gasket loading and installation of the electrical connector can be completed. The hydraulic cylinder 48 is started to drive the suction cup 416 to move upward to the initial position. The above actions can be repeated to complete the repeated loading and installation of the gasket 38 of the electrical connector. The ultrasonic sensor 422 can be used to detect whether the outer wall of the limit rod 37 corresponding to the current position of the suction cup 416 is sleeved with a gasket 38.

[0036] This device replaces traditional manual loading with automatic loading, and operators do not need to perform repetitive physical labor for a long time, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves working conditions, avoids direct contact between operators and processing equipment, reduces the risk of work-related accidents, and improves the safety of the working environment. It can ensure the position accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy of the gasket 38 during processing, eliminates errors introduced by human operation, thereby ensuring the processing quality of electrical connector products, reducing dependence on operators, saving labor costs for production companies, significantly reducing the time required for loading, and improving the overall production speed, which can meet the needs of modern large-scale production.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
