[0020] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment provides an antenna connector terminal assembly device, which includes: a connector feeding device 100, a conveying device 200, an insertion device 300 and a tape separation device 400.
[0022] The connector feeding device 100 is used for connector feeding; the conveying device 200 includes a conveying channel 210 and a material moving mechanism 220, the conveying channel 210 is arranged along the first direction, and the material moving mechanism 220 is arranged on one side of the conveying channel 210, for moving the connector located on the conveying channel 210; two insertion devices 300 are respectively arranged at intervals on one side of the conveying channel 210; two material belt detachment devices 400 are respectively arranged at intervals on one side of the conveying channel 210, and each material belt detachment device 400 is located on one side of an insertion device 300.
[0023] It can be understood that the first direction corresponds to the X-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the left-right direction), the second direction corresponds to the Y-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the front-back direction), and the third direction corresponds to the Z-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e., the up-down direction), and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0024] The material moving mechanism 220 is a common material moving mechanism and is not limited here.
[0025] When the antenna connector terminal assembly equipment in this embodiment is in operation, the connector feeding device 100 arranges the disordered connectors into a directional arrangement state through the vibration of the vibration disk, and then conveys the connectors one by one to the starting end of the conveying channel 210. The material moving mechanism 220 is actuated to push the connector on the conveying channel 210 along the first direction to the workstation corresponding to the first insertion device 300 through the push block. After the first insertion device 300 completes the insertion of the first group of terminals for the connector at that workstation, the material moving mechanism 220 continues to push the connector to the workstation corresponding to the first cutting device, and the cutting device cuts the inserted terminal strip to remove the excess part of the strip. After completing the first cutting, the material moving mechanism 220 pushes the connector to the workstation corresponding to the second insertion device 300, and the second insertion device 300 inserts the second group of terminals. After the insertion is completed, the material moving mechanism 220 pushes the connector to the workstation corresponding to the second cutting device to complete the cutting of the second group of terminal strips. Finally, the material moving mechanism 220 pushes the assembled connector to the end of the conveying channel 210, completing the entire assembly process.
[0026] It is understandable that Figure 1 Only one plug-in device is shown.
[0027] This equipment realizes multi-station terminal insertion by providing two insertion devices 300 and two strip removal devices 400, thereby simplifying the assembly equipment structure.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the insertion device 300 includes a terminal feeding mechanism 310 and a terminal insertion mechanism 320, both of which are arranged on one side of the conveying channel 210. The terminal feeding mechanism 310 is used to convey the terminal strip to the terminal insertion mechanism 320, and the terminal insertion mechanism 320 is used to separate the terminal strip and insert the separated terminals into the connector.
[0029] After the conveying device 200 pushes the connector to the corresponding station of the insertion device 300 and positions it, the terminal feeding mechanism 310 starts, the material strip reel releases the terminal material strip, and then continuously conveys it to the terminal insertion mechanism 320. The terminal insertion mechanism 320 operates to separate the terminal material strip for insertion, and then inserts the separated terminal into the connector. In this way, the terminal feeding mechanism 310 and the terminal insertion mechanism 320 have clear division of labor, realizing the continuous conveyance of the terminal material strip and the precise separation and insertion of a single terminal, ensuring stable terminal supply and continuous insertion action, and improving insertion efficiency. In addition, the terminal insertion mechanism 320 integrates separation and insertion functions, reduces the terminal transfer link, reduces the risk of terminal damage or positioning deviation, and improves the accuracy of terminal insertion.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the terminal feeding mechanism 310 includes an auxiliary material channel 311, a first motor 312, a driving disk 313 and a pressing unit 314. The auxiliary material channel 311 is arranged on one side of the conveying channel 210 along the first direction, the first motor 312 is arranged on one side of the auxiliary material channel 311, the driving disk 313 is screwed to the output end of the first motor 312, and protrusions are arranged at intervals on the circumference of the driving disk 313. The pressing unit 314 is arranged at the feeding end of the auxiliary material channel 311, and is used to make the terminal material strip close to the auxiliary material channel 311.
[0031] During operation, the terminal feeding mechanism 310 feeds the terminal strip, which is drawn from the strip reel and then passes through the pressing unit 314 into the groove of the auxiliary material channel 311. The first motor 312 is activated, and its output drives the drive disk 313 to rotate. The protrusions on the periphery of the drive disk 313 rotate with it. When the protrusions align with the strip holes in the auxiliary material channel 311, they embed into the holes. As the drive disk 313 continues to rotate, the protrusions pass through the strip holes, driving the strip along the grooves of the auxiliary material channel 311 toward the terminal insertion mechanism 320.
[0032] During the strip conveying process, the pressing unit 314 continuously presses the strip against the groove of the auxiliary material channel 311, preventing the strip from tilting due to the pull of the drive disk 313 or its own gravity. This ensures that the protrusions of the drive disk 313 can accurately and stably fit into the strip positioning holes, achieving continuous and precise strip conveying. When the strip is conveyed to the separation area of the terminal insertion mechanism 320, the terminal insertion mechanism 320 separates and inserts the terminals on the strip. After insertion is completed, the remaining strip continues to be conveyed with the drive disk 313 to the strip separation device 400 to await separation.
[0033] This embodiment uses a first motor 312 to drive the drive disk 313, and cooperates with the interlocking transmission of the protrusion and the material belt hole to achieve intermittent and precise conveying of the material belt. The conveying speed and step distance can be adjusted through the motor parameters to adapt to the assembly requirements of different terminal spacings. The grooves of the auxiliary material channel 311 guide and limit the material belt. Combined with the pressing function of the pressing unit 314, it effectively prevents the deviation and warping of the material belt during conveying, ensures the stability of the drive transmission, and reduces the terminal separation failure or insertion deviation caused by the misalignment of the material belt. The structure is simple and reliable, and the power transmission is direct. Compared with traditional belt drive or chain drive, it reduces the transmission gap and slip risk, and improves the accuracy and stability of the material belt conveying.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing unit 314 includes a mounting member 3141, a spring, a pressing member 3142 and a pressing wheel 3143. The mounting member 3141 is screwed to the feeding end of the auxiliary material channel 311, and the end of the pressing member 3142 away from the first motor 312 is pivotally connected to the mounting member 3141. The end of the pressing member 3142 close to the first motor 312 is connected to the mounting member 3141 through a spring, and the pressing wheel 3143 is rotatably arranged at the end of the pressing member 3142 close to the first motor 312.
[0035] The mounting member 3141 is fixed to the feeding end of the auxiliary material channel 311 by bolts, providing a mounting base for the pressing unit 314 . The mounting member 3141 can be made of hard alloy to ensure a stable structure.
[0036] The pressing member 3142 is a strip-shaped plate-like structure. Its end away from the first motor 312 is pivotally connected to the mounting member 3141 via a pin, allowing the pressing member 3142 to rotate about the pivot axis. The end of the pressing member 3142 near the first motor 312 is connected to the mounting member 3141 via a spring. The spring is in a tensioned or compressed state, providing continuous pressure on the pressing member 3142. The pressing wheel 3143, made of wear-resistant rubber, is rotatably mounted on the end of the pressing member 3142 near the first motor 312, with its wheel surface corresponding to the groove of the auxiliary material channel 311. After the pressing unit 314 is installed, the spring applies a downward pulling force to the end of the pressing member 3142 near the first motor 312, causing the pressing member 3142 to rotate about the pivot axis, thereby driving the pressing wheel 3143 to press against the terminal strip within the groove of the auxiliary material channel 311.
[0037] As the terminal strip is conveyed along the auxiliary material channel 311, driven by the drive disc 313, the pressure roller 3143 contacts the strip surface. The spring's force continuously applies pressure to the strip, tightly pressing it against the grooves of the auxiliary material channel 311. Furthermore, because the pressure roller 3143 is rotatable, the movement of the strip drives the pressure roller 3143 to rotate synchronously, converting the sliding friction between the pressure roller 3143 and the strip into rolling friction, reducing wear on the strip surface. If there are slight deviations in the strip thickness, the pressure element 3142 rotates slightly about its pivot axis. The spring then adaptively adjusts its force through deformation, ensuring that the pressure roller 3143 maintains constant contact with the strip surface, maintaining a stable pressure effect.
[0038] In this embodiment, a spring is used to provide elastic pressure, and a rotatable pressure wheel 3143 is used to achieve flexible pressing of the material strip, which can not only ensure that the material strip fits tightly to the auxiliary material channel 311, but also adapt to slight fluctuations in the thickness of the material strip, avoiding deformation or damage of the material strip caused by rigid pressing. The pressure wheel 3143 can be rotatably set to convert sliding friction into rolling friction, greatly reducing the wear on the surface of the material strip, protecting the terminal structure on the material strip, and improving the quality of the terminal. The mounting part 3141 is screwed and fixed, and the pressure part 3142 is connected by a pivot and a spring. The structure is easy to assemble and maintain. By replacing springs of different hardness or pressure wheels 3143 of different materials, terminal strips of different materials and thicknesses can be adapted to improve the adaptability of the equipment.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the terminal insertion mechanism 320 includes a base plate 321, a first cylinder 322, a driving plate 323, a movable plate 324, a lifting member 325, a solid material unit 326, an upper clamping unit 327 and a lower clamping unit 328, the base plate 321 is located on one side of the conveying channel 210, the movable plate 324 is movably arranged on the base plate 321, the driving plate 323 is movably arranged on the movable plate 324, the moving direction of the driving plate 323 coincides with the second direction, the driving plate 323 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 322, and a matching groove is opened at one end of the driving plate 323 away from the first cylinder 322, and the lifting member 325 is movably arranged on the movable plate 32 4, the moving direction of the lifting member 325 coincides with the third direction, the lifting member 325 is rotatably provided with a cam that cooperates with the matching groove, the top of the lifting member 325 is a pressing end, the solid material unit 326 is installed on the terminal feeding mechanism 310, and the solid material unit 326 is configured to solidify part of the terminal material strip under the downward pressure of the lifting member 325, part of the lower clamping unit 328 is installed on the end of the moving plate 324 close to the conveying channel 210, and the remaining part of the lower clamping unit 328 is installed on the base plate 321, and the upper clamping unit 327 is installed on the moving member and is arranged corresponding to the lower clamping unit 328, and the upper clamping unit and the lower clamping unit are both located on one side of the solid material unit 326.
[0040] The base plate 321 is located on one side of the conveying channel 210 and serves as the installation base of the entire mechanism.
[0041] The movable plate 324 is movably disposed on the base plate 321 via a guide rail and slider structure, and its moving direction coincides with the second direction.
[0042] The drive plate 323 is movably mounted on the movable plate 324, with its movement direction coinciding with the second direction. The drive plate 323 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 322 and is driven by the first cylinder 322 to move in the second direction. The drive plate 323 is movable relative to the movable plate 324. A mating groove is defined at the end of the drive plate 323 facing away from the first cylinder 322. This groove is an inclined, waist-shaped groove. Specifically, the mating groove has a first position and a second position. In the third direction, the first position is higher than the second position.
[0043] The lifting member 325 is movably provided on the movable plate 324, and its moving direction coincides with the third direction. A cam that cooperates with the matching groove is rotatably provided on the lifting member 325. The top of the lifting member 325 is a pressing end, which is used to cooperate with the solid material unit 326. For example, when the driving plate 323 moves along the second direction, the matching groove drives the lifting member 325 to perform a lifting movement along the third direction through the cam. When the cam moves from the first position of the matching groove to the second position, the lifting member 325 moves from top to bottom along the third direction, causing the upper clamping unit 327 to move toward the lower clamping unit 328. At the same time, the top of the lifting member 325 abuts against the solid material unit 326, causing the solid material unit 326 to solidify part of the terminal strip.
[0044] After the conveyor 200 pushes the connector to the insertion station, the first cylinder 322 drives the drive plate 323 to move in the second direction. As the drive plate 323 moves, its mating groove, via a cam, drives the lifter 325 upward in the third direction. At this point, the upper clamping unit 327 rises with the lifter 325, separating from the lower clamping unit 328 and forming a clamping opening.
[0045] The terminal feeding mechanism 310 delivers the terminal strip to the insertion position, with the material holding unit 326 in a released position, allowing the strip to move. Once the strip is in place, the first cylinder 322 drives the drive plate 323 in the opposite direction, causing the elevator 325 to descend. As the elevator 325 descends, its pressing end first acts on the material holding unit 326, securing the strip. Simultaneously, the upper clamping unit 327 descends with the elevator 325 and cooperates with the lower clamping unit 328 to clamp and position the terminals on the strip for insertion.
[0046] Subsequently, the first cylinder 322 continues to drive the drive plate 323 to move. At this time, the drive plate 323 and the movable plate 324 are relatively stationary, thereby driving the movable plate 324 to move along the second direction toward the conveyor channel 210, driving the clamped terminal to approach the connector's insertion hole. During this process, the material strip portion of the clamped terminal is misaligned with the terminal material strip, thereby achieving separation. When the terminal reaches the insertion position, the upper and lower clamping units 328 press the terminal into the connector's insertion hole, completing the terminal insertion. After the insertion is completed, the upper and lower clamping units 328 are released, and the solid material unit 326 also releases the material strip. The terminal feeding mechanism 310 continues to convey the material strip in preparation for the next insertion.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the solid material unit 326 includes a lower pressing block 3261 that cooperates with the pressing end of the lifting member 325 , and the lower pressing block 3261 is movably disposed on the terminal feeding mechanism 310 .
[0048] The solid material unit 326 further includes a reset spring and a reset base. The reset base is installed on the auxiliary material channel 311 and docked with the auxiliary material channel 311. The reset base is installed with a reset spring.
[0049] As the lifter 325 descends, driven by the drive plate 323, its pressing end acts on the top of the lower pressure block 3261, pushing it downward along the guide rail. This causes the bottom portion of the lower pressure block 3261 to press against the terminal strip, preventing it from shifting during terminal separation and insertion. This, in turn, compresses the return spring. As the lifter 325 ascends, its pressing end leaves the lower pressure block 3261, causing it to move upward under the action of the return spring, releasing its hold on the strip and allowing it to continue moving under the drive of the terminal feeding mechanism 310.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower clamping unit 328 includes a pulley 3281, a lifting fitting 3282 and a lower clamping member 3283, the pulley 3281 is rotatably arranged on the base plate 321, the lifting fitting 3282 is fixed on the movable plate 324, the lifting fitting 3282 is provided with a lifting inclined surface that cooperates with the pulley 3281, the lower clamping member 3283 is fixed on the lifting fitting 3282, and a first protrusion is provided on the end of the lower clamping member 3283 close to the solid material unit 326, the first protrusion is provided with air avoidance grooves at intervals, and the first protrusion is provided with a plurality of positioning holes that cooperate with the upper clamping unit 327 at intervals.
[0051] When the movable plate 324 moves toward the conveying channel 210 along the second direction, the lifting fitting 3282 moves with the movable plate 324, and its lifting inclined surface gradually contacts the pulley 3281. As the movable plate 324 continues to move, the lifting inclined surface is lifted downward by the pulley 3281, driving the lower clamping member 3283 to move downward. At the same time, the upper clamping member also moves downward. In this way, in the third direction, the material strip portion of the clamped terminal is misaligned with the terminal material strip, thereby achieving separation. Through the cooperation of the lifting inclined surface and the pulley 3281, the horizontal movement of the movable plate 324 is converted into the vertical movement of the lower clamping member 3283, cleverly realizing the lifting function of the lower clamping member 3283, simplifying the structural design, reducing the number of driving sources, and achieving terminal separation.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the upper clamping block unit includes a connecting member 3271, a disassembly member 3272, a stop block 3273 and a positioning column 3274. The connecting member 3271 is connected to the lifting member 325. The disassembly member 3272 is detachably installed on the connecting member 3271. There are multiple positioning columns 3274 and they are passed through the disassembly member 3272. The positioning columns 3274 are arranged corresponding to the lower clamping unit 328. The stop block 3273 is fixed on the connecting member 3271 and abuts against the top of the positioning column 3274.
[0053] The detachable disassembly member 3272 is designed to facilitate the replacement of components of different specifications on the upper clamping unit 327 to accommodate terminals of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the versatility of the device. Specifically, the disassembly member 3272 is screwed onto the connecting member 3271.
[0054] The stopper 3273 limits the positioning column 3274 to prevent the positioning column 3274 from moving upward during operation, thereby ensuring the positioning effect and service life of the positioning column 3274.
[0055] When the lifting member 325 descends, the connecting member 3271 drives the disassembly member 3272 and the positioning post 3274 downward. The tapered structure at the lower end of the positioning post 3274 first inserts into the positioning hole of the lower clamping unit 328, achieving precise alignment of the upper and lower clamping units 328 and thus positioning the terminal. When the lifting member 325 ascends, the connecting member 3271 drives the disassembly member 3272 and the positioning post 3274 upward, separating the upper and lower clamping units 328 and releasing the clamping of the terminal.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the strip detachment device 400 includes a detachment mechanism 410 and a connector pressing mechanism 420. The connector pressing mechanism 420 is arranged on the conveying channel 210 and is used to fix the connector. The detachment mechanism 410 is arranged corresponding to the connector pressing mechanism 420 and is used to remove the strip portion of the terminal on the fixed connector.
[0057] The connector pressing mechanism 420 is located on the conveyor channel 210 and is used to secure the connectors at the detachment station, preventing them from moving during the strip detachment process. The connector pressing mechanism 420 may include a pressing cylinder and a pressing block. The pressing cylinder is fixed to one side of the conveyor channel 210, and the pressing block is connected to the output end of the pressing cylinder. Driven by the pressing cylinder, the pressing block compresses the connectors.
[0058] The disengagement mechanism 410 includes a second cylinder 411, a sliding plate 412 and a clamping claw 413. The second cylinder 411 is arranged on one side of the conveying channel 210 along the third direction. The sliding plate 412 is fixed on the output end of the second cylinder 411. The clamping claw 413 is installed on the sliding plate 412. The claw block of the clamping claw 413 is configured to be able to move along the third direction.
[0059] When the conveying device 200 pushes the connector with the terminals inserted to the strip detachment station, the pressing cylinder of the connector pressing mechanism 420 is actuated, driving the pressing block to descend, pressing and fixing the connector on the conveying channel 210. Subsequently, the second cylinder 411 of the detachment mechanism 410 drives the sliding plate 412 to descend, so that the clamping claw 413 approaches the terminal strip portion on the connector. The claw block of the clamping claw 413 closes, tightly clamping the strip portion of the terminal. Next, the second cylinder 411 drives the sliding plate 412 to rise, and the sliding plate 412 drives the clamping claw 413 to rise together. The clamping claw 413 uses the clamped strip portion to pull off the connecting rib between the terminal and the strip, so that the terminal is completely detached from the strip and firmly fixed to the connector. Finally, the claw block of the clamping claw 413 opens to release the clamping of the material strip, the second cylinder 411 drives the sliding plate 412 to return to the initial position, the pressing block of the connector pressing mechanism 420 rises to release the pressure on the connector, and the conveying device 200 continues to push the connector that has completed the separation of the material strip to the next workstation.
