Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic pin insertion machine technology, and in particular to a T-type pin positioning and pressing device and pressing method. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of modern automobiles, the pin insertion process plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of automotive actuators. Currently, the main challenges in handling T-pins in automotive actuator manufacturing include slow insertion speed. In semi-automatic insertion processes, the insertion speed of T-pins is limited, becoming a key factor affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, operators need to frequently manually operate the fixture to insert the T-pins, which not only increases the labor intensity of operators but may also affect production efficiency. At the same time, frequent manual operation may lead to human error, affecting the insertion accuracy of the T-pins and consequently impacting the performance of the automotive actuator.

[0003] To address these challenges, this invention proposes an innovative process method that aims to improve pin insertion efficiency through highly automated technology, achieving precise and rapid positioning of T-type pins and ensuring the accuracy and stability of pin insertion operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a T-pin positioning and pressing device and pressing method. The T-pin positioning and pressing device and pressing method can accurately and automatically press several T-pins into the T-pin holes of the T-shaped housing of the automotive actuator simultaneously, and ensure that each T-pin can be correctly and consistently inserted into the predetermined position, with a high pin qualification rate.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A T-shaped pin positioning and pressing device includes a T-shaped housing pressing plate, a T-shaped positioning fixture, a T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly, and a horizontal pressing assembly.

[0007] The T-type pin can be inserted into the T-type pin hole of the T-type housing. The T-type housing is located on the housing transmission line, and the housing transmission line has a T-type pin positioning and pressing station.

[0008] The T-shaped housing clamping plate is positioned directly above the T-shaped pin positioning and pressing station, and can be raised and lowered under the drive of the T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly to clamp and position the top of the T-shaped housing around the T-shaped pin positioning and pressing station.

[0009] The T-shaped housing clamping plate is provided with a T-shaped positioning opening groove, and the opening faces the T-shaped pin hole of the T-shaped housing.

[0010] The T-shaped positioning fixture includes a T-shaped positioning plate, a T-shaped support slider, a T-shaped support slider drive assembly, and a horizontal pusher.

[0011] The T-shaped positioning plate is located at the bottom of the T-shaped housing clamping plate directly below the T-shaped positioning opening slot, and can extend into the inner cavity of the T-shaped housing.

[0012] The T-shaped positioning plate is provided with T-shaped positioning slots that are equal in number and correspond one-to-one with the number of T-shaped pin holes. Each T-shaped positioning slot can position and place one T-shaped pin.

[0013] The T-shaped support slider is located at the front end of the T-shaped positioning plate facing the T-shaped pin hole, and can slide left and right in a direction perpendicular to the T-shaped positioning groove under the drive of the T-shaped support slider drive assembly.

[0014] The T-shaped support slider is provided with T-shaped through slots, the number of which is equal to the number of T-shaped positioning slots, and the top is open.

[0015] The horizontal push head is located on top of the T-shaped positioning plate and can contact the T-shaped pins in all the T-shaped positioning slots.

[0016] The horizontal clamping assembly is used to drive the horizontal movement of the horizontal pusher.

[0017] Each T-pin includes a horizontal part and a vertical part. The horizontal part is a horizontal insertion part that mates with the T-pin hole. The two ends of the vertical part are a T-shaped protrusion and an electrical interface part, respectively.

[0018] Each T-shaped positioning groove includes a convex guide groove, which can accommodate the T-shaped convex and guide the horizontal movement of the T-shaped convex.

[0019] The T-shaped support slider can support the front end of the connector, keeping the connector horizontal during horizontal movement.

[0020] Each T-shaped positioning groove also includes a T-shaped pin guide placement groove located at the top of the convex guide groove for guiding the placement of the T-shaped pin.

[0021] A support sliding groove is provided at the front end of the T-shaped positioning plate facing the T-shaped pin hole, and the support sliding groove is perpendicular to the T-shaped positioning groove.

[0022] The T-shaped support slider is installed inside the support sliding groove.

[0023] The T-shaped support slider drive assembly includes a positioning pin and a drive arm; the bottom end of the positioning pin is connected to one end of the T-shaped support slider, and the top end of the positioning pin is connected to the drive arm; the drive arm has a T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface.

[0024] A horizontal guide push rod is connected to the upper middle part of the horizontal push head. Horizontal return springs are provided on both sides of the horizontal guide push rod. The horizontal return springs can keep the horizontal push head at the top of the T-shaped positioning plate.

[0025] A method for positioning and pressing a T-type insert includes the following steps.

[0026] Step 1: Pressing the T-shaped housing: Driven by the T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly, the T-shaped housing pressing plate descends in height, thereby pressing and positioning the top and four sides of the T-shaped housing located at the T-shaped pin positioning and pressing station; at the same time, the T-shaped positioning plate carrying the T-shaped support slider extends into the inner cavity of the T-shaped housing; wherein, the T-shaped support slider faces the T-shaped pin hole of the T-shaped housing and is at the same height as the bottom surface of the T-shaped pin hole.

[0027] Step 2: Place T-pins: In each T-positioning slot of the T-positioning plate, a T-pin is placed using a pin press-fit transfer assembly; wherein, the T-shaped protrusion of the T-pin extends into the T-positioning slot and makes positioning contact with the bottom surface of the T-positioning slot, and the front end of the insertion part of the T-pin is placed on the T-support slider, keeping it horizontal, and the tip points towards the T-pin hole.

[0028] Step 3, T-pin press-fit: The horizontal pressing assembly drives the horizontal push head to move horizontally and contact the vertical part of all T-pins in all T-positioning slots; the horizontal push head continues to move forward horizontally, and the tip of the insertion part of each T-pin enters the corresponding T-pin hole to the set press-fit depth.

[0029] Step 4: T-shaped support slider sliding: Driven by the T-shaped support slider drive assembly, the T-shaped support slider slides along a direction perpendicular to the T-shaped positioning groove, so that the T-shaped through grooves of all T-shaped support sliders are connected to the corresponding T-shaped positioning grooves one by one.

[0030] Step 5, Secondary pressing of T-pins: The horizontal pressing assembly drives the horizontal pusher to continue moving horizontally forward until the vertical part of each T-pin passes through the T-slot of the corresponding T-support slider and has no contact with the T-positioning plate and the T-support slider; at this time, the insertion part of each T-pin is pressed into the corresponding T-pin hole.

[0031] Step 6, Positioning Reset: The horizontal clamping assembly and horizontal push head are reset, and the T-shaped support slider is reset, forming a block at the front end of each T-shaped positioning groove.

[0032] Step 7, T-shaped housing transfer: The T-shaped housing clamping plate rises and resets under the drive of the T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly, thereby contacting and pressing the T-shaped housing. The T-shaped housing that has been pressed is transferred to the next process. Repeat steps 1 to 7 to perform the positioning and pressing of the T-shaped pin in the next T-shaped housing to be pressed.

[0033] In step 2, each T-shaped positioning groove is provided with a flared opening T-shaped pin guide placement groove at the top to facilitate the positioning and placement of the T-shaped pin.

[0034] In step 4, the T-shaped support slider drive assembly includes a drive arm with a T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface. Before the T-shaped support slider drive assembly drives the T-shaped support slider to slide, the T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface can contact the horizontal push head to limit the first pressing position of the T-shaped pin in step 3. After the T-shaped support slider drive assembly drives the T-shaped support slider to slide, the T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface will release the positioning blocking with the horizontal push head.

[0035] In step 6, the horizontal clamping assembly and the horizontal push head are designed separately. After the horizontal clamping assembly is reset, the horizontal push head will automatically reset to the starting position away from the T-shaped pin hole under the action of its own spring force.

[0036] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The T-shaped housing clamping plate of the present invention can clamp the T-shaped housing to be press-fitted with pins, which facilitates the subsequent pressing of T-shaped pins; the T-shaped positioning fixture of the present invention can position the T-shaped pins, so that the insertion part of each T-shaped pin is kept horizontal and the tip points to the T-shaped pin hole, and the front end of the insertion part of each T-shaped pin is placed on the T-shaped support slider to prevent deformation when the T-shaped pin enters the corresponding T-shaped pin hole, thereby ensuring assembly accuracy and success rate. In addition, the horizontal clamping component can press all T-shaped pins in each T-shaped housing synchronously at one time, so as to achieve high pressing consistency and high pass rate.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the T-shaped housing clamping plate is provided with a T-shaped positioning opening groove 511, which has a top opening and a side opening, wherein the side opening faces the T-shaped pin hole of the T-shaped housing.

[0066] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the T-shaped positioning fixture includes a T-shaped positioning plate 521, a T-shaped support slider 522, a T-shaped support slider drive assembly 523, and a horizontal pusher 524.

[0067] The T-shaped positioning plate is preferably located at the bottom of the T-shaped housing clamping plate directly below the T-shaped positioning opening slot via two connecting plates 521e, and can extend into the inner cavity of the T-shaped housing. The bottom surface of the T-shaped positioning plate is provided with a clearance groove that mates with the inner cavity components of the T-shaped housing.

[0068] The T-shaped positioning plate is provided with T-shaped positioning slots 521a, which are equal in number and correspond one-to-one with the number of T-shaped pin holes. Each T-shaped positioning slot can position and place one T-shaped pin.

[0069] Each T-shaped positioning groove includes a protrusion guide groove 521b and a T-shaped pin guide placement groove 521c located at the top of the protrusion guide groove; wherein, the protrusion guide groove can accommodate the T-shaped protrusion and guide the horizontal movement of the T-shaped protrusion; the T-shaped pin guide placement groove is used for guiding the placement of the T-shaped pin.

The T-shaped support slider supports the front end of the connector, ensuring that the connector remains horizontal during horizontal movement.

[0072] Furthermore, the T-shaped support slider is provided with T-shaped through slots 522a, which are equal in number to the number of T-shaped positioning slots and open at the top. A T-shaped support part 522b is formed between two adjacent T-shaped through slots or on the outside of the outer T-shaped through slot.

[0073] The aforementioned T-shaped support slider drive assembly preferably includes a positioning pin 523a, a drive arm 523b, a pin groove 523c, and an arm drive assembly 523d; the bottom end of the positioning pin is connected to one end of the T-shaped support slider, and the top end of the positioning pin is connected to the drive arm; the drive arm has a T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface, and slides left and right along a direction perpendicular to the T-shaped positioning groove under the drive of the arm drive assembly.

[0074] The horizontal push head is positioned at the top of the T-shaped positioning plate and can contact the T-shaped pins in all the T-shaped positioning slots. Furthermore, a horizontal guide push rod 524a is connected to the upper middle part of the horizontal push head, and horizontal return springs 524b are provided on both sides of the horizontal guide push rod. Preferably, a return block 524c is provided at the end of the horizontal return spring and the horizontal guide push rod. The horizontal return springs enable the horizontal push head to be positioned at the top of the T-shaped positioning plate.

[0075] The aforementioned horizontal clamping assembly is used to drive the horizontal movement of the horizontal push head, such as... Figure 7As shown, the horizontal pressing assembly preferably includes a horizontal pressing head 541, a horizontal pressing electric cylinder 542, a horizontal pressing guide rail 543, and a support frame 544. The support frame is located on one side of the housing conveyor line, the horizontal pressing guide rail is mounted on top of the support frame, and the horizontal pressing electric cylinder is mounted on the horizontal pressing guide rail for easy sharing with other processes. The horizontal pressing electric cylinder is used to drive the extension and retraction of the horizontal pressing head, thereby pushing the horizontal push head to move horizontally.

[0076] A method for positioning and pressing a T-type insert includes the following steps.

[0077] Step 1: Pressing the T-shaped housing: Driven by the T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly, the T-shaped housing pressing plate descends in height, thereby pressing and positioning the top and four sides of the T-shaped housing located at the T-shaped pin positioning and pressing station; at the same time, the T-shaped positioning plate carrying the T-shaped support slider extends into the inner cavity of the T-shaped housing; wherein, the T-shaped support slider faces the T-shaped pin hole of the T-shaped housing and is at the same height as the bottom surface of the T-shaped pin hole.

[0078] Step 2: Place T-pins: In each T-positioning slot of the T-positioning plate, a T-pin is placed using a pin press-fit transfer assembly; wherein, the T-shaped protrusion of the T-pin extends into the T-positioning slot and makes positioning contact with the bottom surface of the T-positioning slot, and the front end of the insertion part of the T-pin is placed on the T-support slider, keeping it horizontal, and the tip points towards the T-pin hole.

[0079] Step 3, T-pin press-fit: The horizontal pressing assembly drives the horizontal push head to move horizontally and contact the vertical part of all T-pins in all T-positioning slots; the horizontal push head continues to move forward horizontally, and the tip of the insertion part of each T-pin enters the corresponding T-pin hole to the set press-fit depth.

[0080] Furthermore, before the T-shaped support slider is driven to slide by the T-shaped support slider drive assembly, the T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface can contact the horizontal push head to limit the first pressing position of the T-shaped pin in step 3.

[0081] Step 4: Slide the T-shaped support slider

[0082] Driven by the T-shaped support slider drive assembly, the T-shaped support slider slides along a direction perpendicular to the T-shaped positioning groove, so that the T-shaped through grooves of all T-shaped support sliders are connected to the corresponding T-shaped positioning grooves one by one.

[0083] When the T-shaped support slider drive assembly drives the T-shaped support slider to slide, the T-shaped pin positioning blocking surface will release its positioning block against the horizontal push head.

[0084] Step 5, Secondary pressing of T-pins: The horizontal pressing assembly drives the horizontal pusher to continue moving horizontally forward until the vertical part of each T-pin passes through the T-slot of the corresponding T-support slider and has no contact with the T-positioning plate and the T-support slider; at this time, the insertion part of each T-pin is pressed into the corresponding T-pin hole.

[0085] Step 6, Positioning Reset: The horizontal clamping assembly and the horizontal push head reset, and the T-shaped support slider resets, forming a blockage at the front end of each T-shaped positioning groove. Furthermore, the horizontal clamping assembly and the horizontal push head are designed separately. After the horizontal clamping assembly resets, the horizontal push head automatically resets to its starting position away from the T-shaped pin hole under its own spring force.

[0086] Step 7, T-shaped housing transfer: The T-shaped housing clamping plate rises and resets under the drive of the T-shaped pressing and lifting assembly, thereby contacting and pressing the T-shaped housing. The T-shaped housing that has been pressed is transferred to the next process. Repeat steps 1 to 7 to perform the positioning and pressing of the T-shaped pin in the next T-shaped housing to be pressed.

7. The T-pin positioning press-fit method of claim 6, wherein: In step 2, a T-shaped pin guiding and placing slot with a trumpet-shaped opening is arranged at the top of each T-shaped positioning groove, which facilitates the positioning and placing of the T-shaped pin.

8. The T-pin positioning press-fit method of claim 6, wherein: In step 4, the T-shaped support slider drive assembly includes a driving arm, and the driving arm has a T-shaped pin positioning barrier surface that can come into contact with the horizontal push head before the T-shaped support slider drive assembly drives the T-shaped support slider to slide, thereby limiting the one-time pressing position of the T-shaped pin in step 3; after the T-shaped support slider drive assembly drives the T-shaped support slider to slide, the T-shaped pin positioning barrier surface will no longer be in positioning contact with the horizontal push head.

9. The T-pin positioning press-fit method of claim 6, wherein: In step 6, the horizontal pressing assembly and the horizontal push head are designed separately, and after the horizontal pressing assembly is reset, the horizontal push head is reset to the initial position away from the T-shaped pin hole under the action of its own spring force.
