Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to connector assembly equipment, and more particularly to a base station antenna control connector assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In mobile communication networks, base station antennas are the core equipment for signal transmission and reception, and their performance directly determines communication quality and coverage. Base station antenna control connectors, as key components for achieving electrical connections between the antenna and control module and signal transmission links, bear the important functions of accurate signal transmission and stable circuit connection; their assembly quality has a decisive impact on the overall operational reliability of the base station.

[0003] The core components of a connector include an insulating shell and conductive terminals. Multiple conductive terminals are required to be inserted into different positions within the shell. Currently, in the production of base station antenna control connectors, the insertion process of terminals into the shell is done manually. The specific process involves an operator manually picking up a single terminal from a hopper, visually aligning it with the slot on the shell, and then pressing it into the slot using their fingers or a simple tool. This method is inefficient, prone to errors, and results in quality issues such as misaligned, missing, or over-inserted terminals. These problems require additional manpower for rework and inspection, further increasing production time and costs.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, one embodiment provides a base station antenna control connector assembly machine, including: a rotary worktable 100, a handling robot 200, a housing feeding device 300, a first terminal insertion device 400, a second terminal insertion device 500, and a third terminal insertion device 600.

[0022] Multiple product bases 110 are spaced apart on the rotary worktable 100; a handling robot 200 is used for loading insulating shells and unloading assembled finished products; a shell loading device 300 is located on one side of the handling robot 200; a first terminal insertion device 400, a second terminal insertion device 500, and a third terminal insertion device 600 are arranged around the rotary worktable 100. The first terminal insertion device 400 has two units and is used for inserting upper and lower row terminals respectively; the second terminal insertion device 500 has two units and is used for inserting left and right side terminals respectively; and the third terminal insertion device 600 has two units and is used for inserting upper bent terminals and lower bent terminals respectively.

[0023] The housing feeding device 300 is a common vibratory feeder feeding mechanism, which is not specifically limited here.

[0024] In this embodiment, the base station antenna control connector assembly machine uses a housing loading device 300 to load insulating housings. A handling robot 200 picks up the insulating housings from the housing loading device 300 and transfers them to the product base 110 of the rotary table 100. The rotary table 100 rotates at set intervals, causing the product base 110 to pass sequentially through each terminal insertion device. Two first terminal insertion devices 400 insert the upper and lower rows of terminals respectively, two second terminal insertion devices 500 insert the left and right side terminals respectively, and two third terminal insertion devices 600 insert the upper and lower bent terminals respectively. After assembly, the handling robot 200 removes the finished product from the product base 110.

[0025] This base station antenna control connector assembly machine, through the inclusion of a rotating worktable 100, enables multi-task parallel processing, significantly improving production efficiency. Secondly, by incorporating a first terminal insertion device 400, a second terminal insertion device 500, and a third terminal insertion device 600, it features dedicated insertion mechanisms designed for terminals of different orientations and types, covering all-directional insertion requirements. This base station antenna control connector assembly machine achieves fully automated connector assembly through modular design, with multi-station parallel processing significantly improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering production costs.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotary worktable 100 has a loading position and a unloading position on one side. Both the loading position and the unloading position are provided with bosses 120 that cooperate with the product base 110. The handling robot 200 is located between the loading position and the unloading position, and the housing loading device 300 is provided corresponding to the loading position.

[0027] Both the loading and unloading positions are provided with bosses 120 that mate with the product base 110. It can be understood that the bosses 120 can mate with the product base 110 to control the opening and closing of the product base 110, thereby clamping the insulating shell.

[0028] The handling robot 200 is positioned between the loading and unloading positions. It can be understood that the handling robot 200 picks up the insulating shell from the shell loading device 300 and places it on the product base 110, i.e., the loading position of the rotary table 100. Subsequently, the handling robot 200 removes the finished product from the product base 110 and unloads it. In this way, the optimized motion path can shorten product transfer time and further improve production efficiency.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the product base 110 includes a base body 111, a mating part 112, a guide seat 113, a clamping part 114, a movable part 115, and a cover 116. The base body 111 is mounted on a rotary table 100. The guide seat 113 and the clamping part 114 are both mounted on the base body 111. The guide seat 113 has an inclined guide groove at one end facing the clamping part 114. The clamping part 114 has a side abutment block, which is used to limit insulation. At the side end of the housing, the movable part 115 is movably disposed in the inclined guide groove. The movable part 115 is provided with an upper abutment block, which is used to limit the upper end of the insulating housing. The mating part 112 is movably disposed in the seat 111 through the mounting pin. The upper end of the mating part 112 passes through the inclined guide groove and contacts the movable part 115. The lower end of the mating part 112 is provided with a pulley that mates with the boss 120. The cover 116 is installed on the guide seat 113 and covers the inclined guide groove.

[0030] It is worth noting that the boss 120 has an upper inclined surface, a mating surface and a lower inclined surface connected in sequence; when the lower end of the mating part 112 moves from the upper inclined surface to the mating surface, the mating part 112 rises and the movable part 115 moves away from the clamping part 114; when the lower end of the mating part 112 moves from the mating surface to the lower inclined surface, the mating part 112 falls and the movable part 115 moves toward the clamping part 114.

[0031] As the pulley at the lower end of the mating component 112 moves along the upper inclined surface, the mating component 112 gradually rises, pushing the movable component 115 to slide along the inclined guide groove away from the clamping component 114, causing the upper abutment block to move away from the side abutment block, creating a larger space to facilitate the insertion of the insulating shell. When the pulley reaches the mating surface, the movable component 115 stops moving, remaining in an open state. As the pulley moves along the lower inclined surface, the mating component 112 descends, and the movable component 115 slides towards the clamping component 114 under the action of gravity or a spring, with the upper abutment block and the side abutment block jointly clamping the insulating shell.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first terminal insertion device 400 includes a first material transfer mechanism 410 and a first insertion mechanism 420. The first material transfer mechanism 410 is used to transfer the upper row of terminals or the lower row of terminals to the first insertion mechanism 420. The first insertion mechanism 420 is used to separate the upper row of terminals, the lower row of terminals and the terminal strip, and insert them into the insulating shell of the product base 110.

[0033] The first material transfer mechanism 410 is a common terminal strip transfer mechanism, which may include a cylinder, a pusher block and a paddle. Their connection relationship and working principle are existing technologies and are not specifically limited here.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first insertion mechanism 420 includes a first cylinder 421, a first movable seat 422, a second cylinder 423, a first base 424, a first drive unit 425, a first slide 426, a first cutting block 427, a first clamping block 428, and a second clamping block 429. The first cylinder 421 is disposed on one side of the first material transfer mechanism 410. The first movable seat 422 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 421. The second cylinder 423 and the first base 424 are both disposed on the first movable seat 422. The output end of the second cylinder 423 is connected to the first drive unit 425. 5 is connected to the first slide 426, the first slide 426 is movably mounted on the first base 424, the first cutting block 427 is fixed on the first slide 426, the bottom surface of the first cutting block 427 is an inclined surface, the first clamping block 428 is movably mounted on the first slide 426 and close to the first cutting block 427, the lower edge of the first clamping block 428 is provided with a first tooth, the second clamping block 429 is fixed on the first moving seat 422, the upper edge of the second clamping block 429 is provided with a second tooth that mates with the first tooth, and a first clamping groove is formed between the second tooth and the first tooth.

[0035] The bottom surface of the first cutting block 427 is set as an inclined surface. Understandably, this setting enables progressive cutting, reduces shearing force, and protects the terminals.

[0036] When the first insertion mechanism 420 is in operation, the first cylinder 421 drives the first moving seat 422 to move, causing the second clamping block 429 to approach the first transfer mechanism 410. Driven by the first transfer mechanism 410, the end of the terminal strip moves above the second clamping block 429. The second cylinder 423 pushes the first drive unit 425, causing the first slide 426 to descend. The inclined surface of the first cutting block 427 first contacts the terminal strip, cutting off the connection between the terminal and the strip. Simultaneously, the first clamping block 428 moves downward, its first tooth engaging with the second tooth of the second clamping block 429, clamping the terminal in the first clamping groove. Subsequently, the first cylinder 421 drives the first moving seat 422 to move, inserting the terminal into the lower position of the insulating housing. The second cylinder 423 pulls the first drive unit 425, causing the first clamping block 428 to move upward, thus completing the terminal insertion.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive unit 425 includes a first inclined block 4251 and a first drive member 4252. The middle part of the first drive member 4252 is pivotally connected to the first base 424, one end of the first drive member 4252 is pivotally connected to the first slide table 426, and the other end of the first drive member 4252 is provided with a first pulley. The first inclined block 4251 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 423, and the first inclined block 4251 is provided with a first inclined surface that cooperates with the first pulley.

[0038] During operation, the second cylinder 423 pushes the first inclined block 4251 to move. The first inclined surface of the first inclined block 4251 contacts the first pulley of the first drive member 4252, causing the middle part of the first drive member 4252 to rotate around the pivot point. Since the other end of the first drive member 4252 is pivotally connected to the first slide table 426, it drives the first slide table 426 to move up and down.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second terminal insertion device 500 includes a second transfer mechanism 510 and a second insertion mechanism 520. The second transfer mechanism 510 is used to transfer the left or right terminal to the second insertion mechanism 520, and the second insertion mechanism 520 is used to separate the left or right terminal from the terminal strip and insert it into the insulating housing of the product base 110.

[0040] The second material transfer mechanism 510 is a common terminal strip transfer mechanism, which may include a cylinder, a pusher block and a paddle. Their connection relationship and working principle are existing technologies and are not specifically limited here.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, in some embodiments, the second insertion mechanism 520 includes a third cylinder 521, a second movable seat 522, a fourth cylinder 523, a second base 524, a second drive unit 525, a second slide 526, a second cutting block 527, a third clamping block 528, and a fourth clamping block 529. The third cylinder 521 is disposed on one side of the second material transfer mechanism 510. The second movable seat 522 is connected to the output end of the third cylinder 521. The fourth cylinder 523 and the second base 524 are both disposed on the second movable seat 522. The output end of the fourth cylinder 523 is connected to the second slide 526 through the second drive unit 525. Two sliding tables 526 are movably mounted on the second base 524. A second cutting block 527 is fixed on the second sliding table 526. The surface of the second cutting block 527 facing the second movable seat 522 is inclined. A third clamping block 528 is movably mounted on the second sliding table 526 and close to the second cutting block 527. A third tooth is provided at one end of the third clamping block 528 close to the second movable seat 522. A fourth clamping block 529 is fixed on the second movable seat 522. A fourth tooth is provided at one end of the fourth clamping block 529 close to the second sliding table 526, which cooperates with the third tooth. A second clamping groove is formed between the fourth tooth and the third tooth. The second drive unit 525 includes a second inclined top block 5251 and a second drive member 5252. The middle part of the second drive member 5252 is pivotally connected to the second base 524. One end of the second drive member 5252 is pivotally connected to the second slide table 526. The other end of the second drive member 5252 is provided with a second pulley. The second inclined top block 5251 is connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder 523. The second inclined top block 5251 is provided with a second inclined surface that cooperates with the second pulley.

[0042] The bottom surface of the second cutting block 527 is set as an inclined surface. Understandably, this setting enables progressive cutting, reduces shearing force, and protects the terminals.

[0043] When the second insertion mechanism 520 is working, the third cylinder 521 drives the second moving seat 522 to move, causing the fourth clamping block 529 to approach the second transfer mechanism 510. Under the drive of the second transfer mechanism 510, the end of the terminal strip moves to one side of the fourth clamping block 529. The fourth cylinder 523 pushes the second inclined block 5251 to move, and the second inclined surface of the second inclined block 5251 contacts the second pulley of the second drive member 5252, causing the middle part of the second drive member 5252 to rotate around the pivot point. Since the other end of the second drive member 5252 is pivotally connected to the second slide table 526, it drives the second slide table 526 to move. The inclined surface of the second cutting block 527 first contacts the terminal strip, cutting off the connection between the terminal and the strip. At the same time, the third clamping block 528 moves synchronously towards the fourth clamping block 529, and the third tooth engages with the fourth tooth of the fourth clamping block 529, so that the terminal is clamped in the second clamping groove. Subsequently, the third cylinder 521 drives the second movable seat 522 to move and insert the terminal into the corresponding position of the insulating housing. The fourth cylinder 523 pulls the second drive unit 525, causing the third clamping block 528 to move away from the fourth clamping block 529, thus completing the terminal insertion.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the third terminal insertion device 600 includes a third material transfer mechanism 610, a bending mechanism 620, and a third insertion mechanism 630. The third material transfer mechanism 610 is used to transfer the upper bent terminal semi-finished product or the lower bent terminal semi-finished product onto the bending mechanism 620. The bending mechanism 620 includes a transition channel 621, a fifth cylinder 622, a connector 623, a bending wheel 624, a sixth cylinder 625, and an abutment member 626. The transition channel 621 is located at... On one side of the third material transfer mechanism 610, the fifth cylinder 622 is located on one side of the transition material channel 621. The connecting piece 623 is pivotally connected to the output end of the fifth cylinder 622. The bending wheel 624 is pivotally connected to the connecting piece 623. The sixth cylinder 625 is provided corresponding to the fifth cylinder 622. The abutting piece 626 is pivotally connected to the output end of the sixth cylinder 625. The third insertion mechanism 630 is used to separate the upper bending terminal or the lower bending terminal from the terminal material strip and insert it into the insulating shell of the product base 110.

[0045] The third material transfer mechanism 610 is a common terminal strip transfer mechanism, which may include a cylinder, a pusher block and a paddle. Their connection relationship and working principle are existing technologies and are not specifically limited here.

[0046] During operation, the bending mechanism 620 receives terminals conveyed by the third transfer mechanism 610 through the transition channel 621. The sixth cylinder 625 actuates, driving the abutment member 626 to move towards the transition channel 621, causing the abutment member 626 to abut against the rear end of the terminal to be bent on the transition channel 621. The fifth cylinder 622 actuates, driving the connecting member 623 to move towards the transition channel 621, causing the bending wheel 624 to abut against the front end of the terminal to be bent on the transition channel 621. The bending wheel 624 moves upward along the outer edge of the abutment member 626, achieving an upward bend of the terminal. After bending, the terminal is conveyed to the third insertion mechanism 630.

[0047] The third insertion mechanism 630 may include a seventh cylinder, a third movable seat, an eighth cylinder, a third base, a third drive unit, a third slide, a third cutting block, a fifth clamping block, and a sixth clamping block. The seventh cylinder is located on one side of the bending mechanism 620. The third movable seat is connected to the output end of the seventh cylinder. The eighth cylinder and the third base are both located on the third movable seat. The output end of the eighth cylinder is connected to the third slide table through the third drive unit. The third slide table is movably located on the third base. The third cutting block is fixed on the third slide table. The surface of the third cutting block facing the third movable seat is an inclined surface. The fifth clamping block is movably located on the third slide table and close to the third cutting block. The end of the fifth clamping block close to the third movable seat is provided with a fifth tooth. The sixth clamping block is fixed on the third movable seat. The end of the sixth clamping block close to the third slide table is provided with a sixth tooth that cooperates with the fifth tooth. A third clamping groove is formed between the fifth tooth and the sixth tooth. The third drive unit includes a third inclined push block and a third drive member. The middle part of the third drive member is pivotally connected to the third base, one end of the third drive member is pivotally connected to the third slide, and the other end of the third drive member is provided with a third pulley. The third inclined push block is connected to the output end of the eighth cylinder, and the third inclined push block is provided with a third inclined surface that cooperates with the third pulley.

[0048] When the third insertion mechanism 630 is in operation, the seventh cylinder drives the third moving seat to move, bringing the sixth clamping block closer to the bending mechanism 620. Driven by the third material transfer mechanism 610, the end of the terminal strip moves onto the sixth clamping block. The eighth cylinder pushes the third inclined block to move, and the second inclined surface of the third inclined block contacts the third pulley of the third drive member, causing the middle part of the third drive member to rotate around the pivot point. Since the other end of the third drive member is pivotally connected to the third slide, it drives the third slide to move. The inclined surface of the third cutting block first contacts the terminal strip, cutting off the connection between the terminal and the strip. Simultaneously, the fifth clamping block moves synchronously towards the sixth clamping block, and the fifth tooth engages with the sixth tooth of the sixth clamping block, clamping the terminal in the third clamping groove. Subsequently, the seventh cylinder drives the third moving seat and inserts the terminal into the corresponding position of the insulating housing. The eighth cylinder pulls the third drive unit, causing the fifth clamping block to move away from the sixth clamping block, thus completing the terminal insertion.
