Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical connector processing, and specifically provides a gasket feeding device for electrical 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. During the production process of electrical connectors, gasket feeding is a crucial step. The traditional gasket feeding method usually adopts manual operation, where gaskets are placed on processing equipment for processing. However, this manual feeding method has the following disadvantages: Firstly, manual feeding requires operators to place gaskets on the processing equipment one by one, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Moreover, during the manual feeding process, operators need to stand or bend down for a long time, which easily leads to fatigue and physical discomfort. Secondly, during the manual feeding process, it is difficult for operators to maintain consistent techniques and forces, which easily causes inaccurate gasket positions, thereby affecting the processing quality. At the same time, during the manual feeding process, operators are in close contact with the processing equipment, posing a certain safety risk. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The beneficial effects of a gasket feeding device for processing an electrical connector proposed by the present invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. In the present invention, the electrical connector is processed for gaskets on the processing platform, and the rotating platform and the limiting rod can be used to store gaskets.

[0015] 2. The present invention utilizes a hydraulic cylinder to drive the steering plate and the suction cup to move downward through a lifting rod, and prompts the limiting rod to insert into the inner cavities of the suction cup and the storage groove until the bottom end of the suction cup contacts the cushion plate. The cushion plate is used to push the suction cup upward, thereby squeezing the pressure sensor by the suction cup until the pressure sensor detects an appropriate pressure value. The negative pressure generated through the negative pressure holes and the negative pressure pipe can firmly suck the suction cup to the bottom end of the suction cup. The hydraulic cylinder is used to drive the suction cup upward until it moves to the initial position. Then, the motor is started. The motor can drive the lifting rod and the suction cup to rotate around the lifting rod as the center through the cooperation among the connecting rod, the first pulley, the belt, the second pulley, the second slider, and the second chute until the suction cup rotates above the processing platform. The hydraulic cylinder is used to drive the suction cup downward until the gasket is inserted onto the electrical connector. The negative pressure pipe is closed, and the positive pressure pipe is started. The cooperation between the positive pressure pipe and the positive pressure holes can blow the gasket off the bottom end of the suction cup, thereby completing the automatic feeding of the gasket. The ultrasonic sensor can detect whether a gasket is sleeved on the outer wall of the corresponding limiting rod.

[0016] 3. In the present invention, when the ultrasonic sensor detects that there is no gasket on the outer wall of the corresponding limiting rod, the electric telescopic rod is started. The electric telescopic rod is used to push the sleeve downward, thereby driving the support frame to move downward. The downward movement of the support frame can drive the driving rod to move downward along the inner cavity of the driving groove until the driving rod moves to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the driving groove. Then, the electric telescopic rod is started to drive the sleeve to move upward to the initial position. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the driving rod and the driving groove, the rotating cylinder can be prompted to drive the rotating platform to rotate 180 degrees, so that the limiting rod without a gasket sleeved on its outer wall can be rotated to the front side, and then a new gasket can be taken and sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod.

[0017] 4. This device replaces the traditional manual feeding with automatic feeding. The operator does not need to perform repetitive physical labor for a long time, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the workers, improves the working conditions, avoids the direct contact between the operator and the processing equipment, reduces the risk of work-related injuries, enhances the safety of the working environment, can ensure the position accuracy and repeated positioning accuracy of the gasket during processing, eliminates the errors introduced by manual operation, thereby ensuring the processing quality of the electrical connector products, reducing the dependence on the operator, saving labor costs for the production enterprise, significantly reducing the time required for feeding, enhancing the overall production speed, and being able to meet the requirements of modern large-scale production.

[0036] The working principle includes the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: During use, connect the positive pressure pipe 421 to an external positive pressure fan and connect the negative pressure pipe 420 to an external negative pressure fan. Take an appropriate number of gaskets 38 and sleeve the gaskets 38 on the outer wall of the limiting rod 37 located at the front side. Start the electric telescopic rod 316 and use the electric telescopic rod 316 to push the sleeve 310 downward. The downward movement of the sleeve 310 drives the driving rod 313 to move downward along the inner cavity of the driving groove 36 through the support frame 311 until the driving rod 313 slides to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the driving groove 36. Then, use the electric telescopic rod 316 to drive the sleeve 310 upward, thereby driving the driving rod 313 to move upward by the sleeve 310. Utilize the cooperation between the driving rod 313 and the driving groove 36 to drive the rotating cylinder 35 to drive the rotating platform 34 to rotate until the driving rod 313 slides to the top end of the inner cavity of the driving groove 36. At this time, the rotating platform 34 rotates 180 degrees, that is, the limiting rod 37 sleeved with the gasket 38 can be rotated to the lower part of the suction cup 416, and an appropriate amount of gaskets 38 are sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 37 rotated to the front at this time;

[0038] Step 2: Place the electrical connector that needs to install the gasket 38 at an appropriate position on the top of the processing platform 2. Start the hydraulic cylinder 48. Use the hydraulic cylinder 48 to pull the lifting rod 410 downward through the connecting plate 49. The suction cup 416 moves downward to insert the limiting rod 37 into the inner cavities of the suction cup 416 and the storage groove 413 until the bottom end of the suction cup 416 contacts the gasket sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 37. Continue to use the hydraulic cylinder 48 to drive the suction cup 416 downward, that is, the gasket 38 can be used to squeeze the suction cup 416 upward until the suction cup 416 contacts the pressure sensor 423. Use the pressure sensor 423 to detect the pressure value. When the pressure sensor 423 detects an appropriate pressure value, start the external negative pressure fan. Generate negative pressure through the negative pressure pipe 420 and the negative pressure hole 417 to adsorb the uppermost gasket 38 under the suction cup 416. Start the hydraulic cylinder 48 to push the suction cup 416 upward until the limiting rod 37 disengages from the inner cavities of the suction cup 416 and the storage groove 413. Start the motor 42. Use the motor 42 to drive the second pulley 45 to rotate through the connecting rod 43, the first pulley 44 and the belt 47. The rotation of the second pulley 45 drives the lifting rod 410 to rotate through the cooperation between the second slider 46 and the second chute 411 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 on the top of the processing platform 2. Use the hydraulic cylinder 48 to drive the suction cup 416 downward until the gasket 38 is inserted into an appropriate position on the electrical connector. Turn off the negative pressure fan and start the positive pressure fan. Use the positive pressure fan to blow the gasket 38 onto the electrical connector through the positive pressure pipe 421 and the positive pressure hole 418, that is, the gasket feeding and installation of the electrical connector can be completed. Start the hydraulic cylinder 48 to drive the suction cup 416 upward to the initial position. Repeat the above actions to complete the repeated feeding and installation of the gasket 38 of the electrical connector.
