[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the present invention discloses a cutting and crimping device 100, which includes a conveying and cutting mechanism 1, a riveting and pressing mechanism 2, and a handling mechanism 3. The conveying and cutting mechanism 1 includes a plurality of conveying modules 11 and at least one cutting and clamping module 12. The plurality of conveying modules 11 are arranged at the input end of the cutting and clamping module 12, and the cutting and clamping module 12 moves relative to the plurality of conveying modules 11. The riveting and pressing mechanism 2 is arranged beside the conveying and cutting mechanism 1. The riveting and pressing mechanism 2 includes a plurality of riveting modules 21 and a riveting power module 22. The plurality of riveting modules 21 move relative to the riveting power module 22 along the first direction D1-D1, so that the riveting modules 21 at different positions can be driven by the riveting power module 22 to move along the second direction D2-D2, and the first direction D1-D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2-D2. The conveying module 11 conveys the terminal row 200 to be cut to the cutting and clamping module 12. The cutting and clamping module 12 cuts and clamps the terminal row 200 to be cut, and then shifts the cut terminal row 200 to the riveting module 21. The riveting power module 22 presses the terminal row 200 against the cable 300 by applying force to the riveting module 21. With such a setting, the efficiency of riveting the cable 300 and the terminal row 200 can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced. At the same time, because a plurality of conveying modules 11 and a plurality of riveting modules 21 are provided, cables 300 of different specifications and models can also be processed simultaneously, further improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3and Figures 7 to 11 In an embodiment of the present application, the cutting and pressing device 100 disclosed in the present application further includes a substrate 4, and the conveying and cutting mechanism 1 and the riveting and pressing mechanism 2 are both installed on the substrate 4. Specifically, the substrate 4 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. The riveting power module 22 is arranged at the center of the substrate 4, at least one cutting and clamping module 12 and a plurality of riveting modules 21 are respectively movably arranged on both sides of the substrate 4 in the third direction D3-D3, and a plurality of conveying modules 11 are fixed to the edge of the substrate 4 through a support plate 114, and the plurality of conveying modules 11 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1-D1. The height of each conveying module 11 is the same as that of the cutting and clamping module 12, so that after the terminal row 200 to be cut is successfully conveyed to the cutting and clamping module 12, the cutting and clamping module 12 cuts the terminal row 200 in the second direction D2-D2. The first direction D1-D1, the second direction D2-D2, and the third direction D3-D3 are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0058] The conveying module 11 includes a runner plate 111, pressing members 112 arranged at both ends in the length direction of the runner plate 111, and a material moving component 113 slidably arranged on the runner plate 111. The runner plate 111 extends along the third direction D3-D3. The runner plate 111 includes a front surface 1111 and a back surface 1112 arranged opposite to each other in the height direction D3-D3, and the height direction is the second direction D2-D2. The third direction D3-D3, the first direction D1-D1, and the second direction D2-D2 are perpendicular to each other in pairs. The two pressing members 112 are fixed to the front surface 1111 and can press the terminal row 200 to be cut, so as to reduce the displacement of the terminal row 200 during the conveying process and ensure the smooth conveying of the terminal row 200. The material moving component 113 includes a first cylinder 1131, a first slide rail 1132, a first slider 1133, and a hook 1134. The first slide rail 1132 is arranged on the back surface 1112 of the runner plate 111, and the first slider 1133 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 1132. The runner plate 111 has a runner hole 101. One end of the hook 1134 is connected to the first slider 1133, and the other end of the hook 1134 passes through the runner hole 101 and is clamped with the terminal row 200. The driving end of the first cylinder 1131 is connected to the first slider 1133, and springs 1135 are respectively arranged on both sides of the runner plate 111. One end of the spring 1135 is fixedly connected to the side of the runner plate 111, and the other end of the spring 1135 is connected to the first slider 1133. The first cylinder 1131 drives the first slider 1133 to drive the hook 1134 to move along the third direction D3-D3, and at this time the spring 1135 is stretched to store energy. After a conveying action is completed, the first cylinder 1131 pauses, and then the spring 1135 releases the elastic force to drive the first slider 1133 to contract and rebound by pulling, thereby driving the hook 1134 to move to the initial position. Repeating this way can drive the terminal row 200 to continuously move towards the side of the cutting and clamping module 12, improving the automation degree of the device.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figures 12 to 13 The conveying and cutting mechanism 1 further includes a first linear driving module 13, and at least one cutting and clamping module 12 is disposed on the first linear driving module 13. The first linear driving module 13 is configured to drive the cutting and clamping module 12 to move to the conveying module 11 to receive the terminal row 200 to be cut.

The first driving member 131 is located in the assembly hole 401. A first roller 1311 is provided at the driving end of the first driving member 131. The first roller 1311 meshes with the first rack 1322. The first driving member 131 drives the cutting and clamping module 12 to move along the extending direction of the first rack 1322 through the first roller 1311. In the embodiment of the present application, there are two first driving members 131, and each first driving member 131 is provided with a cutting and clamping module 12 to improve the overall working efficiency of the device.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 13 to 14, the first driving member 131 is connected to the cutting and clamping module 12 through a fixing frame 15.

The second slider 1324 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 1323. The extending direction of the second slide rail 1323 is the same as the extending direction of the first rack 1322, and the bottom of the fixing plate 151 is connected to the second slider 1324. When the first driving member 131 drives the cutting and clamping module 12 to move along the extending direction of the first rack 1322, the sliding fit of the second slide rail 1323 and the second slider 1324 can improve the stability of the cutting and clamping module 12 during movement.

The upper cutting block 123 and the lower cutting block 122 are closely arranged along the third direction D3-D3, and the upper cutting block 123 and the lower cutting block 122 are spaced apart along the second direction D2-D2. The projections of the upper cutting block 123 and the lower cutting block 122 along the second direction D2-D2 do not overlap, that is, when viewed from the second direction D2-D2, the upper cutting block 123 and the lower cutting block 122 are arranged in a staggered manner so as to be able to cut the terminal row 200. The pressing block 124 and the upper cutting block 123 are spaced apart along the second direction D2-D2 below the lower cutting block 122, and the projections of the pressing block 124 and the lower cutting block 122 along the second direction D2-D2 at least partially overlap. In this way, when the pressing block 124 and the lower cutting block 122 approach and abut against each other along the second direction D2-D2, they can clamp the cut terminal row 200. Specifically, the cutting and clamping module 12 further includes a cutting driving member 126 and a first mounting block 125.

Further, the mounting base 121 includes a first mounting sub-base 1211 and a second mounting sub-base 1212. The first mounting sub-base 1211 is disposed behind the second mounting sub-base 1212 along the third direction D3-D3. The first mounting sub-base 1211 and the second mounting sub-base 1212 are buckled front and back to form the receiving cavity 105. There is an opening 103 at the connection position between the top of the second mounting sub-base 1212 and the first mounting sub-base 1211. One end of the lower cutting block 122 is connected to the driving end of the cutting driving member 126 through a connecting member 129. The other end of the lower cutting block 122 passes through the opening 103 from the receiving cavity 105 and exposes outside the second mounting sub-base 1212 to be staggered and attached to the upper cutting block 123 in the third direction D3-D3 to cut the terminal row 200. In the embodiment of the present application, the lower cutting block 122 is L-shaped, and the lower cutting block 122 includes a first lower cutting portion 1221 and a second lower cutting portion 1222.

The second lower cutting portion 1222 is vertically disposed along the third direction D3-D3 on at least another part of the first lower cutting portion 1221.In this way, the second lower cutting part 1222 and the upper cutting part 1231 can be arranged in an interleaved and closely attached manner along the third direction D3-D3. When the terminal row 200 to be cut is conveyed between the second lower cutting part 1222 and the upper cutting part 1231, the cutting driving member 126 drives the lower cutting block 122 to move downward, so that an upper-lower misaligned tangent is formed between the second lower cutting part 1222 and the upper cutting part 1231 to cut the terminal row 200.

Specifically, the connecting rod assembly 128 includes a first connecting rod 1281 and a second connecting rod 1282. One end of the first connecting rod 1281 is fixedly connected to the pressing driving member 127, the other end of the first connecting rod 1281 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 1282, and the second end of the second connecting rod 1282 passes through the first mounting sub-block 1211 and abuts against the pressing block 124. A connecting rod fixing seat 1284 is provided on one side of the first mounting sub-block 1211 facing the pressing driving member 127, and the second end of the second connecting rod 1282 is connected to the connecting rod fixing seat 1284 through a pin shaft 1283. When the pressing driving member 127 drives the first connecting rod 1281 to rise, according to the lever principle, the second end of the second connecting rod 1282 rotates downward, so that the pressing block 124 moves downward. When the pressing driving member 127 drives the first connecting rod 1281 to descend, according to the lever principle, the second end of the second connecting rod 1282 rotates upward, so that the pressing block 124 moves upward.

[0063] The specific working process of the cutting and clamping module 12 is as follows: The cutting and clamping module 12 moves to the output end of the conveying module 11 that needs to be cut under the drive of the first driving member 131.
