[0051] See also Figures 1 to 15 This embodiment provides a USB shell dividing device for removing a plurality of USB shells 200 formed on a braid 100 one by one. In this embodiment, the USB shell dividing device includes a loading mechanism 1, a dividing mechanism 2 and a unloading mechanism 3.

[0052] The loading mechanism 1 is configured to move the braid 100 to transfer the plurality of USB shells 200 one by one to the dispensing station. Specifically, the USB shell dispensing device further includes a carrier 4 on which the braid 100 can be placed. For example, in this embodiment, the plurality of USB shells 200 formed on the braid 100 are evenly arranged along the length of the braid 100. Thus, the loading mechanism 1 can move the braid 100 along the length of the braid 100, thereby transferring the plurality of USB shells 200 one by one to the dispensing station.

[0053] The separating mechanism 2 is located at the separating station and is configured to separate the USB housing 200 from the braid 100. Specifically, based on the above-mentioned content, for a braid 100 formed with multiple USB housings 200, cracks 300 are pre-formed at the connection between the USB housings 200 and the braid 100. Therefore, the separating mechanism 2 can separate the USB housing 200 from the braid 100 along the cracks 300, thereby separating the USB housing 200 and the braid 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism 3 includes a first unloading module 31 and a second unloading module 32. The first unloading module 31 is configured to transfer the USB housing 200 that has been broken off from the braid 100 so that it can enter the downstream workstation and produce a complete USB product. The second unloading module 32 is configured to collect the braid 100. In other words, the second unloading module 32 is used to recover the braid 100 after the USB housing 200 has been broken off by the dispensing mechanism 2.

[0055] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the loading mechanism 1 transfers a plurality of USB shells 200 on the braid 100 to the distributing station one by one. After each USB shell 200 is transferred to the distributing station by the loading mechanism 1, the distributing mechanism 2 provided at the distributing station breaks the USB shell 200 off the braid 100. The broken-off USB shell 200 is transported to the downstream workstation by the first distributing module 31, while the portion of the braid 100 located at the distributing station is transported to the second distributing module 32. After all USB shells 200 on a single braid 100 are broken off, the second distributing module 32 completes the recycling of the entire braid 100. In this embodiment, the USB shell distributing device replaces manual labor to achieve automated distributing of the USB shells 200. Compared with manual labor, the USB shell distributing device has high working efficiency, which can significantly improve production efficiency and effectively avoid damage to the USB shells 200 that may occur during the distributing process.

[0056] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 1 adopts an intermittent working mode. Each time it works, the feeding mechanism 1 transfers a USB shell 200 to the dispensing station. Then, the dispensing mechanism 2 performs a dispensing operation on the USB shell 200 transferred to the dispensing station. After the dispensing mechanism 2 completes its operation, the feeding mechanism 1 proceeds to the next operation. At the same time, the first unloading module 31 unloads the USB shell 200 that has been broken off from the braid 100. It is understood that when the feeding mechanism 1 transfers the next USB shell 200 to the dispensing station, the portion of the braid 100 that was originally located at the dispensing station is sent to the second unloading module 32.

[0057] In order to realize the transfer of the braid 100, in this embodiment, the braid 100 is evenly provided with a number of sockets 101 along its length direction. The feeding mechanism 1 can engage the braid 100 through the sockets 101 and push the braid 100 along the length direction of the braid 100, thereby realizing the stable transfer of the braid 100.

[0058] From the above, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a rotating wheel 111 and a first driving member 112. The wheel surface of the rotating wheel 111 is evenly distributed with a number of pins 1111 along its circumference. The first driving member 112 is configured to drive the rotating wheel 111 to rotate around its axis and insert two adjacent pins 1111 into two adjacent sockets 101 in sequence. Therefore, as the rotating wheel 111 rotates, the rotating wheel 111 can push the braid 100 forward through the pins 1111.

[0059] It can be understood that the arc length between two adjacent pins 1111 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent holes 101. Therefore, as the wheel 111 rotates, the two adjacent pins 1111 are inserted into the two adjacent holes 101 in sequence. Moreover, as the wheel 111 rotates, the braid 100 can be pushed forward under the pushing action of the pins 1111.

[0060] For example, taking the spacing between two adjacent sockets 101 as the first distance as an example, in this embodiment, the rotating wheel 111 adopts an intermittent working mode. Each time the rotating wheel 111 works, the rotating wheel 111 drives the tape 100 to move the second distance, and the second distance is equal to the sum of the two first distances. Therefore, when the rotating wheel 111 drives the tape 100 to move the two first distances, the next USB shell 200 is transferred to the material dividing station.

[0061] As described above, in this embodiment, the rotating wheel 111 and the first driving member 112 constitute the first feeding module 11, wherein the first driving member 112 can be a driving structure such as a stepping motor or a servo motor, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0062] In addition, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, a plurality of jacks 101 are provided on both sides of the braid 100 along its width direction. Accordingly, the feeding mechanism 1 includes two first feeding modules 11, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively connected to the corresponding two sides of the braid 100 along its width direction. Specifically, the rotating wheel 111 of one of the two first feeding modules 11 engages with the plurality of jacks 101 provided on one side of the braid 100 in sequence, and the rotating wheel 111 of the other engages with the plurality of jacks 101 provided on the other side of the braid 100 in sequence, thereby achieving bilateral synchronous transfer of the braid 100, thereby further ensuring that the braid 100 can be pushed forward smoothly and accurately.

[0063] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 1 also includes a pin 121 and a second driving member 122, wherein the pin 121 has a first working state of being inserted into the socket 101 and a second working state of being moved out of the socket 101, and the second driving member 122 is configured to drive the pin 121 to move back and forth along the length direction of the braid 100.

[0064] From above, the pin 121 and the second driving member 122 constitute the second feeding module 12. In this embodiment, the second feeding module 12 cooperates with the first feeding module 11 to jointly push the braid 100, thereby further ensuring that the braid 100 can be pushed forward smoothly and accurately.

[0065] Specifically, when the pin 121 is in the first working state, the pin 121 is inserted into one of the jacks 101, and then the second loading module 12 and the first loading module 11 work synchronously. In particular, the second loading module 12, like the first loading module 11, also operates in an intermittent mode.

[0066] Each time the second loading module 12 works, the pin 121 is initially in the first working state and is inserted into one of the sockets 101. The second driving member 122 drives the pin 121 to move forward two first distances along the length direction of the braid 100, and moves from the first working position to the second working position, thereby cooperating with the first loading module 11 to push the braid 100 forward two first distances. After the braid 100 moves forward two first distances, the second driving member 122 stops driving the pin 121 to move forward along the length direction of the braid 100.

[0067] Afterwards, the pin 121 can be switched to the second working state, and the second driving member 122 drives the pin 121 to retreat two first distances along the length direction of the tape 100, that is, the pin 121 is reset from the second working position to the first working position. At this time, the pin 121 is aligned with the other socket 101, and the pin 121 returns to the first working state. Thus, the second feeding module 12 can continue to the next work after the dividing mechanism 2 finishes the operation.

[0068] It is worth noting that, based on the content mentioned above, a number of jacks 101 are provided on both sides of the braid 100 along its width direction. Accordingly, the second loading module 12 includes two pins 121, and the two pins 121 are respectively provided corresponding to the two sides of the braid 100 along its width direction. The second driving member 122 can drive the two pins 121 to move together, thereby further ensuring that the braid 100 can be pushed forward smoothly and accurately.

[0069] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a connecting plate 123 and a mounting plate 124. The connecting plate 123 is connected to the movable end of the second driving member 122. The mounting plate 124 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 123 via a rotating shaft 1241. The mounting plate 124 is disposed below the connecting plate 123, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1241 is parallel to the width of the braid 100. A first spring 125 is disposed between the mounting plate 124 and the connecting plate 123. The pin 121 is mounted on the mounting plate 124, and a slope 1211 is disposed at the bottom of the pin 121. For example, the slope 1211 is disposed downstream of the pin 121 in its backward direction and slopes upward from the center of the pin 121 toward the outside of the pin 121. Furthermore, in the first operating state, the slope 1211 contacts the top of the wall of the jack 101.

[0070] That is, in this embodiment, the second feeding module 12 also includes a connecting plate 123 and a mounting plate 124. From above, two pins 121 are installed on the mounting plate 124. When the pin 121 is inserted into the socket 101, the inclined surface 1211 on the pin 121 contacts the top of the hole wall of the socket 101. Therefore, when the second driving member 122 drives the pin 121 to retreat, the inclined surface 1211 of the pin 121 can slide along the top of the hole wall of the socket 101. At the same time, the side of the mounting plate 124 on which the pin 121 is installed rotates toward the connecting plate 123, and the first spring 125 is elastically deformed. Therefore, as the second driving member 122 drives the pin 121 to retreat, the pin 121 can switch from the first working state to the second working state.

[0071] It is worth noting that, based on the aforementioned information, pin 121 needs to retreat twice the first distance to return from the second working position to the first working position. However, after pin 121 retreats the first distance, it is aligned with the next socket 101. At this point, first spring 125 resumes its deformation, and the side of mounting plate 124 on which pin 121 is mounted rotates away from connecting plate 123, allowing pin 121 to be inserted into the next socket 101. However, at this point, pin 121 has not yet returned to the first working position. Subsequently, second driving member 122 continues to drive pin 121 backward. Simultaneously, similarly to the above, under the action of the wall of the socket 101 into which pin 121 is inserted, the side of mounting plate 124 on which pin 121 is mounted rotates again toward connecting plate 123, and first spring 125 elastically deforms again, thereby switching pin 121 back to the second working state.

[0072] When the pin 121 retreats a first distance again, the pin 121 resets from the second working position to the first working position. At the same time, the pin 121 is aligned with the other socket 101. At this time, the first spring 125 continues to recover its deformation, and the side of the mounting plate 124 on which the pin 121 is mounted continues to rotate away from the connecting plate 123, so that the pin 121 is inserted into the socket 101.

[0073] In addition, in this embodiment, the carrier 4 is provided with a slide rail 41, and the connecting plate 123 is slidably connected to the slide rail 41. The slide rail 41 provides a guide for the movement of the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the pin 121 can stably and accurately move back and forth along the length direction of the tape 100.

[0074] As described above, the second driving member 122 can be selected as a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0075] It is understandable that in other optional embodiments, only the first loading module 11 or the second loading module 12 may be provided, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0076] Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 2 includes a pressing module 21 and a clamping module 22. The pressing module 21 can compress the braid 100, while the clamping module 22 can clamp the USB housing 200 and break the USB housing 200 from the braid 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing module 21 compresses the braid 100, thereby preventing the braid 100 from shifting during the process of breaking off the USB housing 200, thereby ensuring that the clamping module 22 can accurately clamp the USB housing 200 and break the USB housing 200 along the crack 300.

[0077] From above, the pressing module 21 includes a carrier block 211, a pressing block 212 and a third driving member 213. The carrier block 211 is installed on the carrier 4, and the carrier block 211 supports the tape 100, that is, for the USB shell 200 transferred to the material distribution station, the portion of the tape 100 located on the periphery of the USB shell 200 is supported on the carrier block 211, and the third driving member 213 is configured to drive the pressing block 212 to descend in the vertical direction and press the tape 100 to the carrier block 211, so as to compress the tape 100 to prevent the tape 100 from shifting due to tension during the process of breaking off the USB shell 200.

[0078] For example, in this embodiment, the braid 100 includes a body 102 and a plurality of connecting portions 103. Each USB housing 200 corresponds to a corresponding connecting portion 103, which is connected to the USB housing 200. The crack 300 is formed between the connecting portion 103 and the USB housing 200. Accordingly, the carrier 211 includes a first support block 2111, a second support block 2112, and a third support block 2113. The first support block 2111 and the second support block 2112 are disposed on the same side and support one side of the braid 100 along its width direction. The first support block 2111 is used to support the body 102, and the second support block 2112 is used to support the connecting portion 103. The first support block 2111 and the second support block 2112 are integrally formed. The third support block 2113 is disposed on the other side and supports the other side of the braid 100 along its width direction.

[0079] Correspondingly, the pressing block 212 is provided with a first block 2121, a second block 2122 and a third block 2123, and the first block 2121, the second block 2122 and the third block 2123 correspond one-to-one to the first supporting block 2111, the second supporting block 2112 and the third supporting block 2113. The third driving member 213 drives the first block 2121, the second block 2122 and the third block 2123 to descend synchronously, wherein the first block 2121 can press one side of the main body 102 along its width direction to the first supporting block 2111, the second block 2122 can press the connecting part 103 to the second supporting block 2112, and the third block 2123 can press the other side of the main body 102 along its width direction to the third supporting block 2113.

[0080] Therefore, this embodiment can more comprehensively and stably press the braid 100 against the carrier block 211 to prevent the braid 100 from shifting during the process of breaking off the USB housing 200 .

[0081] In addition, the pressing module 21 further includes a connecting block 214 , which is connected to the movable end of the third driving member 213 . The pressing block 212 is slidably connected to the connecting block 214 along the vertical direction, and a second spring 215 is provided between the pressing block 212 and the connecting block 214 .

[0082] As described above, in this embodiment, a slide groove 2141 is provided on the connecting block 214, the pressure block 212 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 216, and the slide plate 216 is slidably connected to the connecting block 214 in the vertical direction. The third driving member 213 can drive the connecting block 214 to descend in the vertical direction, thereby driving the pressure block 212 to descend in the vertical direction. When the pressure block 212 contacts the braid 100, the third driving member 213 continues to drive the connecting block 214 to descend in the vertical direction. At this time, the position of the pressure block 212 remains unchanged, and the connecting block 214 descends in the vertical direction relative to the pressure block 212. At the same time, the second spring 215 is compressed and deformed, and applies pressure to the pressure block 212, so that the pressure block 212 can more stably press the braid 100 to the carrier block 211.

[0083] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the third driving member 213 can be selected as a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0084] Furthermore, the clamping module 22 includes a clamping jaw 221 and a fourth driving member 222 , wherein the clamping jaw 221 includes a first claw portion 2211 and a second claw portion 2212 that can move relative to or opposite to each other, thereby clamping or releasing the USB housing 200 .

[0085] It is understandable that the clamping jaw 221 may be a pneumatic clamping jaw 221 , an electric clamping jaw 221 , an electromagnetic clamping jaw 221 or the like, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation thereto.

[0086] As described above, in this embodiment, a first accommodating groove 22111 is provided on the side of the first claw portion 2211 facing the second claw portion 2212, and a second accommodating groove 22121 is provided on the side of the second claw portion 2212 facing the first claw portion 2211. The first accommodating groove 22111 and the second accommodating groove 22121 are respectively used to accommodate the two sides of the USB shell 200, and the fourth driving member 222 is configured to drive the clamping claw 221 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0087] As described above, in this embodiment, the first claw 2211 and the second claw 2212 first separate from each other. After the USB housing 200 is transferred to the dispensing station, the fourth driving member 222 drives the clamping jaw 221 to rise vertically, causing the USB housing 200 to fall between the first claw 2211 and the second claw 2212. Thereafter, the first claw 2211 and the second claw 2212 approach each other, thereby clamping the USB housing 200. The first claw 2211 receives the USB housing 200 on one side along the length of the braid 100 via the first receiving groove 22111, and the second claw 2212 receives the USB housing 200 on the other side along the length of the braid 100 via the second receiving groove 22121. Subsequently, the fourth driving member 222 drives the clamping jaw 221 to descend vertically, thereby breaking the USB housing 200 along the gap 300 between the USB housing 200 and the braid 100.

[0088] It is worth noting that the fourth driving member 222 can be selected as a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0089] Furthermore, the first blanking module 31 includes a collecting box 311 , which is connected to the downstream side of the material separation station. The braid 100 can be moved into the collecting box 311 , so that the braid 100 can be recycled.

[0090] The second blanking module 32 includes a fifth driving member 321 , which is configured to move the clamping module 22 in a horizontal direction, thereby transferring the broken-off USB shell 200 to other downstream workstations.

[0091] It is understandable that after the USB shell 200 clamped by the clamping module 22 is transferred to other downstream workstations, the fifth driving member 321 drives the clamping module 22 to return to the position directly below the pressing module 21 , thereby waiting for the next operation.

[0092] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the fifth driving member 321 is a cylinder. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the specific structure of the fifth driving member 321 can be designed as other linear driving structures according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0093] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
