Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector packaging technology, specifically to an automated packaging device for connectors. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a device used to connect two or more components, systems, or networks. It is widely used in electrical, mechanical, and networking fields. In the electrical field, it is used for circuit connections, such as plugs and sockets.

[0003] To protect products, optimize storage and transportation, prevent contamination, provide product information, and effectively reduce physical damage, connectors need to be packaged.

[0004] To improve user convenience and efficiency, ensure the connector functions fully in practical applications, reduce production and transportation costs, and achieve standardized and large-scale production so that users do not need to find and purchase additional accessories when purchasing, the connector will be packaged together with its compatible accessories.

[0005] Existing connector kit packaging involves manual packaging, where all connectors and accessories are packed into a sealed plastic bag at once. However, manual packaging is inefficient and far slower than automated equipment. The difference becomes more pronounced during large-scale production, and the accuracy and error rate are relatively high, making it easy to pack fewer, more, or incorrect components.

[0006] Furthermore, since socket connectors typically have precision metal pins and cable retainers may have plastic clips, when the connectors and all accessories are all shipped into the sealed bag at once, the metal pins, plastic clips, heavy bottom shells, and hard screws and nuts collide, squeeze, and rub against each other, resulting in cross-damage.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automated packaging device that arranges connectors sequentially and automatically adjusts the conveying order. Summary of the Invention

By transporting connectors and accessories separately before packaging, and then sequentially placing them into the packaging bag, the system effectively prevents metal pins, plastic clips, heavy bottom shells, and hard screws and nuts from colliding, squeezing, and rubbing against each other, thus avoiding cross-damage. Furthermore, the system automatically sorts the accessories and connectors according to their weight, ensuring that heavier accessories or connectors enter the packaging bag first, followed by lighter ones. This not only prevents heavier accessories or connectors from impacting lighter ones and causing damage, but also prevents metal pins and plastic clips at the bottom from puncturing the packaging bag upon impact, thus preventing leakage of subsequent connectors or accessories. This improves packaging integrity and product protection. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automated packaging device for connectors, including a control box 1, a transmission mechanism 2 for sequentially transmitting connectors and their accessories on the upper side of the control box 1, an arrangement mechanism 3 for feeding connectors and their accessories into the transmission mechanism 2 according to weight from largest to smallest on the upper side of the transmission mechanism 2, a sealing mechanism 5 for packaging connectors and their accessories together on one side of the control box 1, and a conveyor 4 for transmitting the packaged items on the lower side of the sealing mechanism 5.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 2 includes a support leg 23 fixedly connected to one side of the control box 1. An oiled connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support leg 23. A first motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 21. A first toothed cylinder 24 and a second toothed cylinder 27 are connected to the inner bearing of the connecting frame 21. A chain plate 25 is meshed with the outer sides of the first toothed cylinder 24 and the second toothed cylinder 27. Several baffles 26 are fixedly connected to one side of the chain plate 25. The output end of the first motor 22 passes through the connecting frame 21 and is fixedly connected to the second toothed cylinder 27. A guide platform 28 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting frame 21. A guide pipe 29 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the guide platform 28.

[0036] The following is a supplementary explanation based on the above structure: the rotation of the output end of the first motor 22 is used to drive the second toothed cylinder 27 to rotate, thereby driving the chain plate 25 to move. The baffle 26 above the chain plate 25 moves synchronously. The baffle 26 is used to separate each accessory to prevent two accessories from being mixed together during transportation. The connector and its accessories above are separated by the baffle 26 for transportation, so that the socket connector, bottom shell, screws and nuts, cable fixing head, and compression plug are sequentially transported through the guide table 28 and the guide tube 29 and then transported into the packaging bag for packaging.

[0037] Please see Figures 4-6 The arrangement mechanism 3 includes two support plates 32 fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting frame 21. A second motor 33 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the support plates 32. A discharge box 31 is provided in the middle of the two support plates 32. The output end of the second motor 33 passes through the support plate 32 and is fixedly connected to the discharge box 31. The other side of the discharge box 31 is connected to the other support plate 32 by a bearing. The discharge box 31 is placed at a 45-degree angle. The discharge box 31 has five partition doors inside. Each partition door includes a positioning plate 34 fixedly connected to the inside of the discharge box 31. A rotating plate 35 is hinged to one side of the positioning plate 34 by a torsion spring. A guide plate 36 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the discharge box 31. A sliding groove is provided inside the guide plate 36. A detection and feeding assembly 37 is provided on the upper side of the discharge box 31. One side of the discharge box 31 has one inlet and five outlets. A guide plate 38 is fixedly connected to one side of the inlet. A guide channel 39 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate 38.

[0038] The following is a supplementary explanation based on the above structure: In the initial state, the discharge box 31 is placed at a 45-degree angle to prevent connectors and accessories from falling out and to facilitate the feeding of connectors and accessories into the discharge box 31. The rotation of the output end of the second motor 33 is used to drive the discharge box 31 to rotate, thereby changing its tilt direction and switching back and forth between discharge and unloading. The partition door is used to separate the connectors and accessories, thus forming a feeding chamber and five discharge chambers from right to left. The guide channel 39 and the guide plate 38 are both installed at an angle. The guide channel 39 is used to transport the processed socket connectors, bottom shells, screws and nuts, cable fixing heads, and compression inserts into the feeding chamber through the guide plate 38. The detection and feeding assembly 37 is used to transport different connectors and accessories into the corresponding discharge chambers according to their weight.

[0039] The detection feeding assembly 37 includes an L-shaped plate 372 fixedly connected to one side of the discharge box 31. A cylinder 371 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the L-shaped plate 372. A U-shaped plate 374 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 371. A third motor 373 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped plate 374. A slider 375 is fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped plate 374. The slider 375 is slidably connected to a slide groove. A first fixing plate 376 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 373. An L-shaped clamping plate 377 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the first fixing plate 376. A weight sensor 378 is fixedly connected inside the L-shaped clamping plate 377. A clamping strip 379 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped clamping plate 377.

[0040] The extension and retraction of the output end of cylinder 371 is used to drive the L-shaped card plate 377 to slide along the seaweed. When the L-shaped card plate 377 moves and presses against the rotating plate 35, the rotating plate 35 rotates and, through the L-shaped card plate 377, sends each connector and accessory into a different chamber. After the L-shaped card plate 377 passes the rotating plate 35, the rotating plate 35 returns to its original position through a torsion spring. The locking strip 379 is used to lock the connectors and accessories to prevent them from falling off during movement. The rotation of the output end of the third motor 373 is used to drive the L-shaped card plate 377 to rotate, thereby pouring the connectors or accessories on the L-shaped card plate 377 into the corresponding discharge chamber.

[0041] The weight sensor 378 can be a piezoelectric sensor, which operates based on the piezoelectric effect. When certain materials are subjected to pressure, the symmetry of their internal crystal structure is disrupted, leading to an imbalance in charge distribution and resulting in polarization. This polarization generates a voltage or releases charge on the material surface, which is then converted into a measurable electrical signal. When the pressure changes, the voltage or charge also changes accordingly. By measuring these changes in electrical signals, the applied pressure or weight can be accurately reflected.

[0042] Weight sensor 378 is used to monitor the weight of connectors or accessories falling onto L-shaped pallet 377 in real time and convert the weight value into an electrical signal to be sent to control box 1. Control box 1 has a judgment module that divides the weight value into five levels: a, b, c, d, and e, with the weight value decreasing from left to right. When the weight value is between a and b and equal to b, control box 1 controls cylinder 371 to fully extend its output end to transport the connector or accessory to the fifth discharge chamber, i.e., the leftmost discharge chamber. When the weight value is between b and c and equal to c, control box 1 controls cylinder 371 to extend its output end to four-fifths of its stroke to transport the connector or accessory to the fourth discharge chamber. When the weight value is between c and d and equal to d, the output end of the control box 1 control cylinder 371 extends to three-fifths of its stroke, conveying the connector or accessory to the third discharge chamber. When the weight value is between d and e and equal to e, the output end of the control box 1 control cylinder 371 extends to two-fifths of its stroke, conveying the connector or accessory to the second discharge chamber. When the weight value is less than e and greater than 0, the output end of the control box 1 control cylinder 371 extends to one-fifth of its stroke, conveying the connector or accessory to the first discharge chamber. When the weight value is equal to 0, the output end of the control box 1 control cylinder 371 retracts completely, driving the L-shaped card plate 377 into the feeding chamber.

[0043] When one of the bottom shells is finished and falls into the guide channel 39, the bottom shell slides down and enters the feeding chamber through the guide plate 38. At this time, the bottom shell falls into the L-shaped pallet 377. When the weight sensor 378 detects that the weight value is between a and b and equal to b, the control box 1 controls the cylinder 371 to fully extend its output end to transport the connector or accessory to the fifth discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates, driving the L-shaped pallet 377 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby pouring the bottom shell inside the L-shaped pallet 377 into the fifth discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates to return to its original position, and the output end of the cylinder 371 fully retracts to return to its original position.

[0044] When the cable fixing head falls into the L-shaped card plate 377, the weight sensor 378 detects that the weight value is between b and c and equal to c. The control box 1 controls the output end of the cylinder 371 to extend to four-fifths of its stroke to transport the connector or accessory to the fourth discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates, driving the L-shaped card plate 377 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby pouring the cable fixing head inside the L-shaped card plate 377 into the fourth discharge chamber.

[0045] When the socket connector falls into the L-shaped pallet 377, the weight sensor 378 detects that the weight value is between c and d and equal to d. The control box 1 controls the output end of the cylinder 371 to extend to three-fifths of its stroke to transport the connector or accessory to the third discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates, driving the L-shaped pallet 377 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby pouring the socket connector inside the L-shaped pallet 377 into the third discharge chamber.

[0046] When the compressed insert falls into the L-shaped pallet 377, the weight sensor 378 detects that the weight value is between d and e and equal to e. The control box 1 controls the output end of the cylinder 371 to extend to two-fifths of its stroke to transport the connector or accessory to the second discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates, driving the L-shaped pallet 377 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby pouring the compressed insert inside the L-shaped pallet 377 into the second discharge chamber.

[0047] When the screws and nuts fall into the L-shaped pallet 377, the weight sensor 378 detects that the weight value is lower than e and greater than 0. The control box 1 controls the output end of the cylinder 371 to extend to one-fifth of its stroke to transport the connector or accessories to the first discharge chamber. The output end of the third motor 373 rotates, driving the L-shaped pallet 377 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby pouring the screws and nuts inside the L-shaped pallet 377 into the first discharge chamber.

[0048] When all the connectors or accessories are placed inside the discharge chambers according to weight from high to low, the output end of the second motor 33 rotates 135 degrees to pour the bottom shell, cable fixing head, socket connector, compression plug, screw and nut into each pair of baffles 26 respectively, so that the heavier accessories or connectors are first transported into the packaging bag, and then the lighter accessories or connectors are transported into the packaging bag in turn.

[0049] Please see Figures 7-9 The sealing mechanism 5 includes a support frame 54 fixedly connected to the upper side of the control box 1. An electric conveying cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support frame 54. A first transmission roller 52 is provided on the lower side of the electric conveying cylinder 51 and is rotatably connected to the support frame 54. Two first limiting discs 53 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the first transmission roller 52. A second transmission roller 55 is provided on the lower side of the support frame 54 and is rotatably connected to the support frame 54. Two second limiting discs 56 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the second transmission roller 55.

[0050] The lower side of the support frame 54 is provided with a molding assembly 58. The molding assembly 58 includes two fixing rods 582 fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 54. One end of each fixing rod 582 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 581. Two second fixing plates 586 are fixedly connected to one side of the control box 1. A first hydraulic cylinder 585 is fixedly connected to one side of the second fixing plate 586. A first guide post 583 is fixedly connected to the other side of the second fixing plate 586. A first sliding plate 584 is slidably connected to the outer side of the first guide post 583. The output of the first hydraulic cylinder 585 passes through the second fixing plate 586 and is fixedly connected to the first sliding plate 584. An L-shaped heating block 587 is fixedly connected to one side of the first sliding plate 584. The lower side of the support frame 54 is provided with two limiting rollers 57. Each limiting roller 57 is connected to a bearing of the control box 1.

[0051] The lower side of the limiting roller 57 is provided with a shearing assembly 59. The shearing assembly 59 includes a third fixing plate 591 fixedly connected to one side of the control box 1. A second hydraulic cylinder 593 is fixedly connected to one side of the third fixing plate 591. A second guide post 592 is provided on one side of the second hydraulic cylinder 593. A second slide plate 594 is slidably connected to the outer side of the second guide post 592. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 593 is fixedly connected to the second slide plate 594. A U-shaped locking block 595 is fixedly connected to one side of the second slide plate 594. A cutter 596 is fixedly connected inside one of the U-shaped locking blocks 595.

[0052] The following is a supplementary explanation based on the above structure: The electric conveyor cylinder 51 is used to convey the plastic sealing film downwards, and it passes through the first drive roller 52 and the second transmission roller 55 in sequence. After being limited by the clamping plate 581, it is folded. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 585 extends to drive the L-shaped heating block 587 to press the plastic sealing film and heat-seal it. After the heat-sealing is completed, the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 585 retracts, and the bottom shell, cable fixing head, socket connector, compression insert, screw and nut fall into the half-open plastic sealing film in sequence through the guide channel 39. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 585 extends again to heat-seal the plastic sealing film and complete the sealing and packaging of one bag of connector kits. It then seals the next plastic sealing film. The limiting roller 57 limits the sealed connector kits so that they enter the shearing assembly 59. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 593 extends to control the movement of the U-shaped clamping block 595, thereby controlling the cutter 596 to cut off one bag of connector kits and drop it onto the transmission end of the conveyor 4 for conveying.

[0053] By transporting connectors and accessories separately before packaging them into bags, and then sequentially placing them into the packaging bag, the system effectively prevents metal pins, plastic clips, heavy bottom shells, and hard screws and nuts from colliding, squeezing, and rubbing against each other, thus avoiding cross-damage. Furthermore, the system automatically sorts the accessories and connectors according to their weight, ensuring that heavier accessories or connectors enter the packaging bag first, followed by lighter ones. This not only prevents heavier accessories or connectors from impacting lighter ones and causing damage, but also prevents metal pins and plastic clips at the bottom from puncturing the packaging bag upon impact, thus preventing subsequent connectors or accessories from leaking out. This improves packaging integrity and product protection.
