Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic assembly machines, in particular to an FPC piercing type automatic terminal crimping shell inserting machine specially used for FPC flexible rows. Background Art

[0002] Existing FPC soft row such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a flexible strip A, a terminal strip B and a terminal shell C. During processing, the terminal strip B needs to be pressed onto the flexible strip A first, and then the terminal shell C needs to be plugged into the terminal strip B.

[0003] Initially, assembly was done manually with the help of corresponding tooling, resulting in low processing efficiency and a high defective rate. Later, semi-automatic equipment was used for assembly. The flexible bus A was first cut into a fixed length by a cutting device, and then the flexible bus A was sent to a stamping device to be pressed into the terminal block B. Finally, the flexible bus A with the terminal block B pressed into it was sent to the terminal shell insertion device to be inserted into the terminal shell C. This improved the processing efficiency to a certain extent, but it still required a lot of labor intensity.

[0004] Although there are related FPC automated assembly equipment on the market, due to the ultra-thin, ultra-small, and ultra-precision structure of the flexible row A, it is easy to deflect during the transportation, cutting, stamping, and assembly processes, resulting in the subsequent processing accuracy cannot be guaranteed and the defective rate is high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an FPC piercing type automatic terminal crimping shell inserting machine which can greatly improve processing efficiency, ensure processing accuracy and reduce defective product rate.

[0008] The soft row wire feeding mechanism is used to automatically convey the soft row and cut the soft row, including a soft row discharge roll assembly, a guide roller assembly, a soft row traction assembly, a broken wire assembly and a press-fitting correction detection camera.

The terminal block traction assembly is correspondingly arranged at the outlet end of the terminal discharge roll assembly for pulling the terminal block. The terminal block press-fitting assembly is correspondingly arranged at the outlet end of the terminal block traction assembly for press-fitting the terminal block onto the end of the flexible strip.

[0010] The shell plugging mechanism is used to automatically convey the terminal shell and plug the terminal shell into the soft row after the terminal row is pressed, including a terminal shell feeding component, a terminal shell plugging component and a shell plugging correction detection camera. The terminal shell feeding component is used to automatically convey the terminal shell. The terminal shell plugging component is correspondingly arranged at the outlet end of the terminal shell feeding component, and is used to plug the terminal shell sent by the terminal shell feeding component into the soft row terminal after press-fitting. The shell plugging correction detection camera is correspondingly arranged above the terminal shell plugging component, and is used to detect the position of the soft row in front of the shell plugging;

[0011] The correction and transfer mechanism is used to receive the soft busbar after it is broken, and send it into the terminal block pressing mechanism and the shell insertion mechanism in sequence after correction. It includes an XY-axis manipulator assembly and a clamping and correction assembly. The XY-axis manipulator assembly is connected to the clamping and correction assembly. The XY-axis manipulator assembly can drive the clamping and correction assembly to move horizontally or forward and backward. The clamping and correction assembly can clamp the soft busbar and drive the soft busbar to deflect to the left or right.

[0012] Since the soft ribbed wire may deviate from the preset position after unwinding, and since the soft ribbed wire is relatively soft, it may be partially arched, in order to ensure the subsequent processing accuracy, the outlet end of the guide roller assembly is provided with a pre-correction assembly that can correct the soft ribbed wire before it breaks. The pre-correction assembly includes a pre-correction detection camera, a support plate, a pressure plate and a pre-correction motor. The pre-correction detection camera is correspondingly arranged at the inlet end of the breakage assembly. The pre-correction motor is connected to the support plate.

The pushing motor is connected to the pushing head, and the bottom end of the pushing head can be inserted into the through hole at one end of the terminal block through the traction groove. The pushing motor can push the terminal block forward through the pushing head.

[0016] Since the bottom end of the pushing head is inserted into the through hole of the terminal block to push the material forward, and in order to avoid pulling the terminal block back when the pushing head retracts, the present invention designs the bottom end of the pushing head into a triangular structure, the front end face of which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the rear end face of which is inclined to the horizontal plane. When the pushing head retracts, the rear end face will press down the terminal block, causing it to deform to a certain extent, thereby not driving the terminal block to retract.

[0050] Combine Figure 1-9As shown, during processing, the soft row is first unwound by the soft row coil assembly automatically, and the soft row passes through the guide channel between the guide roller 103, the pressure plate 104 and the support plate 105, and enters the traction channel between the upper traction roller 110 and the lower traction roller 111. The pre-correction detection camera 107 takes a picture of the position of the soft row before the line breaks and uploads it to the system. The system compares it with the initial setting. If the position of the soft row deviates, the pre-correction motor 108 is started. The pre-correction motor 108 drives the pressure plate 104 and the support plate 105 to move horizontally, and drives the soft row to move horizontally for a certain distance to make it consistent with the preset track, thereby completing the pre-correction; the lifting cylinder 109 drives the upper traction roller 11 0 descends, cooperates with the lower traction roller 111 to press the soft row, and according to the product size, the traction motor 112 drives the lower traction roller 111 to rotate a certain angle, so that the soft row can be pulled forward at a fixed length, and the soft row enters the line breaking component and extends outward.

The system compares it with the initial setting. If there is a deviation in the position of the soft row, the correction motor 403 drives the clamping cylinder 405 to rotate horizontally through the correction seat 404, driving the soft row to deflect to the left or right by a certain angle horizontally to make it consistent with the preset track, thereby completing the correction before the plug-in;At the same time, the terminal shell feeding assembly automatically transports the terminal shell, and the terminal shell enters the lifting seat 304. The lifting cylinder 303 drives the lifting seat 304 to rise, and the push rod cylinder 305 pushes the terminal shell in the lifting seat 304 into the clamping plate 314 through the push rod 306. The baffle 315 blocks and positions the terminal shell. The clamping cylinder 313 drives the clamping plate 314 to clamp the terminal shell. The flip motor 312 drives the clamping cylinder 313 and the terminal shell to rotate horizontally 90 degrees. At this time, The terminal shell and the flexible jack are facing each other. The upper pressure cylinder 307 drives the upper pressure seat 308 to descend, and the lower pressure cylinder 309 drives the lower pressure seat 310 to rise, pressing the flexible jack that needs to be inserted into the shell. The pushing motor 316 pushes the flip motor 312 and the terminal shell forward, so that the terminal shell and the flexible jack are plugged into a certain distance. Then the upper pressure seat 308 and the lower pressure seat 310 release the flexible jack, and the terminal shell is pushed forward again to complete the final plug-in. The finished product after the shell is inserted is sucked and sent out by the discharge mechanism, completing the processing.
