TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile wiring board assembly feeding, more specifically, it relates to a feeding and shaping device for automobile wiring board assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] The automobile wiring board, as the name implies, is a kind of component for connecting the automobile and the power supply, which is an important connecting part in the automobile charging system, and is widely used in new energy vehicles, motors, medical treatment and other fields.
[0003] In the prior art, the automobile wiring board is generally composed of a wiring base plate, a plurality of wiring posts, and a connecting piece; and the connecting piece is divided into an ordinary connecting piece and a Z-shaped connecting piece; during assembly, the worker will place the wiring base plate on the workbench, then place the plurality of wiring posts in the reserved holes of the wiring base plate, and punch them by a machine to make the wiring base plate and the wiring posts cooperate and plug in, and finally pick up the connecting piece by artificial picking to align the holes at both ends of the connecting piece with the corresponding wiring posts and press down, so as to realize the fixation of the connecting piece and the wiring post.
[0004] However, in this process, the ordinary connecting pieces are packaged by centralized packaging before reaching the assembly station, and the workers randomly pick up and assemble them in the packaging bag; if the ordinary connecting pieces are vibrated and extruded during the conveying process, the ordinary connecting pieces at the bottom of the packaging bag will be extruded and bent, and if the bending occurs at the hole, the reserved hole of the ordinary connecting piece may even be deformed, which affects the use rate of the ordinary connecting piece and reduces the assembly efficiency of the ordinary connecting piece and the wiring post, which is not conducive to the production efficiency of the automobile wiring board.
[0005] At the same time, during the conveying process, if the Z-shaped connecting pieces shake irregularly, two or more Z-shaped connecting pieces will be entangled, and the workers need to separate the multiple Z-shaped connecting pieces before continuing the subsequent assembly work, which affects the assembly efficiency of the Z-shaped connecting piece and the wiring post and reduces the production efficiency of the automobile wiring board.
[0006] Moreover, during the separation of the Z-shaped connecting pieces, manual separation is generally used, which may cause the Z-shaped connecting pieces that have been deformed to be deformed again, reducing the service life of the Z-shaped connecting piece; if the factory is in a rush to meet the deadline, the time is urgent and the probability of secondary deformation of the Z-shaped connecting piece may increase, causing the Z-shaped connecting piece to break directly at the multiple bending positions, thereby increasing the scrap rate of the Z-shaped connecting piece; therefore, the present application proposes a feeding and shaping device for automobile wiring board assembly to improve the existing problems.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0019] (1) By pushing the limit rod down through the limit cylinder, the center of the ordinary connecting piece is limited and pressed down, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing and limiting. Then, the rolling part is started to roll and flatten the surface of the ordinary connecting piece. Finally, the two telescopic rods are started, and their telescopic ends are extended to re-punch the reserved holes, so that the ordinary connecting piece is transformed into a usable shape after being flattened and punched, thereby ensuring the utilization rate of the ordinary connecting piece, improving the assembly efficiency of the ordinary connecting piece and the terminal block, and thus improving the production efficiency of the automotive terminal block.
[0020] (2) The separation motor drives the separation shaft and separation fan to rotate, which rotates and agitates the water in the separation box. This causes the Z-shaped connecting pieces in the separation box to be separated and broken by the rotating impact of the water flow. Compared with the manual separation method, this reduces the secondary damage to the Z-shaped connecting pieces during separation. It also avoids the problem that the Z-shaped connecting pieces will be directly broken at the bending points due to the factory's time constraints. This improves the service life of the Z-shaped connecting pieces and reduces the scrap rate of the Z-shaped connecting pieces.
[0021] (3) The previous Z-shaped connecting piece is displaced by the conveyor belt, which squeezes the second support bar, causing the second support bar to rotate and shift. When the second support bar shifts, it will drive the long column and the first support bar to shift synchronously, so that the insert plate moves away from the slot and the spring changes from a free state to a stretched state. After the second turntable is no longer limited, the next Z-shaped connecting piece is squeezed by the driving force of the conveyor to rotate, so that the turntable drives the first turntable, the shaft and the second turntable to rotate synchronously, so that the next Z-shaped connecting piece moves closer to the second support bar. This achieves the purpose of uniform conveying, avoids the problem of stacking after the Z-shaped connecting pieces are picked up and re-loaded, which would cause the Z-shaped connecting pieces to become entangled again, thereby improving the service life of the Z-shaped connecting pieces and reducing the scrap rate of the Z-shaped connecting pieces.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-10 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0038] Example 1, see Figures 1-10A feeding and shaping device for assembling automotive terminal blocks includes a transfer component 1, a shaping component 2, and a separation component 3. The transfer component 1 replaces manual handling and unloading of connecting pieces before assembly, automatically feeding and conveying the two types of connecting pieces, thereby improving handling and unloading efficiency and avoiding secondary damage to the connecting pieces inside the packaging bag caused by manual handling, thus extending the service life of the connecting pieces. The shaping component 2 rolls and flattens the surface of ordinary connecting pieces and re-punches deformed pre-drilled holes, restoring the ordinary connecting pieces to a usable shape after flattening and punching. This prevents vibration and compression of ordinary connecting pieces during transport, avoiding bending of those at the bottom of the packaging bag and deformation of pre-drilled holes. This ensures the utilization rate of ordinary connecting pieces, improves the assembly efficiency of ordinary connecting pieces and terminals, and ultimately increases the production efficiency of automotive terminal blocks.
[0039] The separation component 3 serves two purposes: firstly, it can separate two or more entangled Z-shaped connecting pieces, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the Z-shaped connecting pieces with the terminals and thus increasing the production efficiency of automotive terminal blocks; secondly, by agitating the water flow, it impacts and disperses two or more Z-shaped connecting pieces, reducing secondary damage during separation compared to manual pulling. It also avoids the problem of secondary deformation of the Z-shaped connecting pieces due to time constraints in the factory, which could lead to direct breakage at multiple bends. This improves the service life of the Z-shaped connecting pieces and reduces their scrap rate.
[0040] See Figures 1-2 Specifically, the transfer assembly 1 includes a support platform 11, a first vibrating plate 12 disposed on the top of the support platform 11, a second vibrating plate 13 disposed on one side of the first vibrating plate 12, a bracket 14 disposed between the first vibrating plate 12 and the second vibrating plate 13, transfer plates 15 disposed at both ends of the bracket 14, transfer gears 151 rotatably connected to both ends of the transfer plates 15, a transfer belt 152 sleeved between the transfer gears 151, a transfer shaft 16 disposed between the transfer plates 15, and a transfer motor 17 disposed at one end of the transfer shaft 16.
[0041] Ordinary connecting plates can be vibrated and fed by the first vibrating plate 12, while Z-shaped connecting plates can be vibrated and fed by the second vibrating plate 13. It should be noted that the first vibrating plate 12 and the second vibrating plate 13 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0042] During conveying, the transfer motor 17 starts, and its output end drives the transfer shaft 16 to rotate. Since one end of the transfer shaft 16 can pass through the central hole of one of the transfer gears 151 and be connected to the output end of the transfer motor 17, and the other end can pass through the central hole of another transfer gear 151, the transfer shaft 16 will drive the corresponding two transfer gears 151 to rotate, so that the other two corresponding transfer gears 151 rotate synchronously, and the two transfer belts 152 move synchronously. Thus, one transfer belt 152 can drive the ordinary connecting piece to be conveyed, and the other transfer belt 152 can drive the Z-type connecting piece to be conveyed, thereby achieving the purpose of conveying the ordinary connecting piece and the Z-type connecting piece respectively.
[0043] See Figures 3-4 Specifically, the shaping component 2 is disposed on one side of one of the transfer plates 15, and includes a vertical plate 21, a horizontal plate 22 disposed on the top of the vertical plate 21, a telescopic cylinder 23 disposed on the top of the horizontal plate 22, a telescopic plate 231 disposed on the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 23, an ear plate 24 symmetrically disposed in the radial N direction on the end of the telescopic plate 231 away from the telescopic cylinder 23, a rolling component 25 disposed on the top of the ear plate 24, a gantry frame 26 disposed above the telescopic plate 231, a limiting cylinder 27 disposed on one side of the gantry frame 26, a limiting rod 271 disposed on the telescopic end of the limiting cylinder 27, a fixing plate 28 sleeved on the limiting rod 271, and a telescopic rod 29 symmetrically disposed in the radial N direction at the bottom of the fixing plate 28.
[0044] During the displacement and conveying of the ordinary connecting piece, the telescopic cylinder 23 is activated, pushing the telescopic plate 231 closer to the ordinary connecting piece, and the ear plate 24 is simultaneously displaced. Since the thickness of the ear plate 24 is less than the thickness of the telescopic plate 231, the ordinary connecting piece that has not been bent will pass directly through the bottom of the ear plate 24 and continue to move towards the assembly station.
[0045] If the ordinary connecting piece deforms, the bent ordinary connecting piece will be limited by the two ear plates 24 and located in the gap between the two ear plates 24. Then, the limiting cylinder 27 is activated, pushing the limiting rod 271 down to limit and press down the center of the ordinary connecting piece, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing and limiting. Next, the rolling part 25 is activated to roll and flatten the surface of the ordinary connecting piece. Finally, the two telescopic rods 29 are activated, and their telescopic ends extend to re-punch the reserved holes, so that the ordinary connecting piece is restored to a usable shape after flattening and punching. This avoids the ordinary connecting piece being squeezed and bent during transportation, and even the ordinary connecting piece at the bottom of the packaging bag will be squeezed and bent, and the reserved holes of the ordinary connecting piece may be deformed. This ensures the utilization rate of the ordinary connecting piece, improves the assembly efficiency of the ordinary connecting piece and the terminal block, and thus improves the production efficiency of the automotive terminal block.
[0046] See Figures 5-10 Specifically, the separation component 3 is located on one side of another transfer plate 15, and includes a support plate 31, a first image detector 311 located on the side wall of the support plate 31, a first cylinder 312 located on one side of the first image detector 311, a first push plate 313 located at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 312, an extension plate 32 located at one end of the support plate 31, a transport component 33 located on the side wall of the extension plate 32, a separation box 34 located below the transport component 33, a separation motor 35 symmetrically arranged in the M direction at one end of the separation box 34, a separation shaft 351 located at the output end of the separation motor 35, separation fans 352 evenly arranged on the separation shaft 351, a connecting plate 36 located at the top of the separation box 34, a drying box 37 located below the connecting plate 36, and a conveying component 38 located inside the drying box 37.
[0047] During the process of Z-shaped connecting pieces being transported on another corresponding transfer belt 152, the first image detector 311 will perform image scanning detection on the passing Z-shaped connecting pieces; if there is only one Z-shaped connecting piece, it will continue to move towards the assembly station; if there are two or more Z-shaped connecting pieces, after the first image detector 311 detects them, it will transmit the information to the controller, and the controller will then control the first cylinder 312 to start, push the first push plate 313 close to the Z-shaped connecting piece, and push the Z-shaped connecting piece into the separation box 34.
[0048] Subsequently, the separation motor 35 starts, and its output drives the separation shaft 351 and the separation fan 352 to rotate, which rotates and agitates the water in the separation box 34. This causes the Z-shaped connecting pieces in the separation box 34 to be separated and broken apart by the rotating impact of the water flow. Compared with the manual separation method, this reduces secondary damage to the Z-shaped connecting pieces during separation and avoids the problem of secondary deformation of the Z-shaped connecting pieces due to time constraints in the factory, which could lead to direct breakage at multiple bends. This improves the service life of the Z-shaped connecting pieces and reduces their scrap rate.
[0049] Next, the conveying component 33 starts to magnetically pick up the Z-shaped connecting piece that has undergone rotational impact in the separation box 34. During this process, the Z-shaped connecting piece can also be placed in the drying box 37 to absorb the moisture on the Z-shaped connecting piece, ensuring that the Z-shaped connecting piece is dry and clean. Finally, the conveying component 38 starts to transport the Z-shaped connecting piece back to another corresponding transfer belt 152, thereby achieving the purpose of reloading.
[0050] See Figures 1-2Furthermore, the output end of the first vibratory plate 12 is located above one of the conveyor belts 152, the output end of the second vibratory plate 13 is located above the other conveyor belt 152, one end of the conveyor shaft 16 can pass through the central hole of one of the conveyor gears 151 and be connected to the output end of the conveyor motor 17, and the other end can pass through the central hole of the other conveyor gear 151.
[0051] The ordinary connecting piece falls onto one of the conveyor belts 152 through the discharge end of the first vibrating plate 12, while the Z-shaped connecting piece falls onto another conveyor belt 152 through the discharge end of the second vibrating plate 13.
[0052] See Figures 3-4 Furthermore, the upright plate 21 is located on the top of the support platform 11. The upright plate 21 and the horizontal plate 22 are vertically distributed. The top of the horizontal plate 22 is also provided with a telescopic slide rail 221. A telescopic slider 222 slides on the telescopic slide rail 221. The side of the telescopic slider 222 away from the telescopic slide rail 221 can be connected to the bottom of the telescopic plate 231. The thickness of the ear plate 24 is less than the thickness of the telescopic plate 231.
[0053] During the process of the telescopic cylinder 23 pushing the telescopic plate 231 closer to the ordinary connecting piece, the telescopic plate 231 will slide on the telescopic slide rail 221 through the telescopic slider 222, thereby achieving the purpose of guidance.
[0054] See Figures 3-4 Furthermore, the rolling component 25 includes a drive cylinder 251, a drive plate 252 disposed at the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 251, a rolling cylinder 253 disposed at the top of the drive plate 252, a rolling plate 254 disposed at the telescopic end of the rolling cylinder 253, and a miniature roller 255 disposed at the end of the rolling plate 254 away from the rolling cylinder 253; the top of the ear plate 24 is also provided with a drive slide rail 241, a drive slider 242 slides on the drive slide rail 241, the side of the drive slider 242 away from the drive slide rail 241 can be connected to the bottom of the drive plate 252, the top of the drive plate 252 away from the drive cylinder 251 is provided with a drive groove 2521, the rolling plate 254 can be inserted into the drive groove 2521, the end of the rolling plate 254 away from the rolling cylinder 253 is also provided with a rolling groove 2541, and the two ends of the miniature roller 255 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rolling groove 2541.
[0055] In this process, the drive cylinder 251 is activated, pushing the drive plate 252 closer to the limit rod 271. During this process, the drive plate 252 slides on the drive slide rail 241 via the drive slider 242, thereby achieving the guiding purpose. Subsequently, the rolling cylinder 253 is activated, pulling the rolling plate 254 and the micro roller 255 down to press closer to the ordinary connecting plate, squeezing the top of the ordinary connecting plate. During this process, the rolling plate 254 slides along the drive groove 2521. Finally, the drive cylinder 251 is activated again, pulling the drive plate 252 back, causing the micro roller to retract. The roller 255 rotates within the rolling groove 2541, rolling and flattening the surface of the ordinary connecting plate to achieve the purpose of shaping. This allows the ordinary connecting plate to be reshaped into a usable form after flattening and stamping, preventing vibration and squeezing during transportation. Ordinary connecting plates located at the bottom of the packaging bag would be squeezed and bent, and even the pre-drilled holes in the ordinary connecting plate would deform. This ensures the utilization rate of the ordinary connecting plate, improves the assembly efficiency of the ordinary connecting plate and the terminal block, and thus improves the production efficiency of automotive terminal blocks.
[0056] The bottom of the gantry 26 can be connected to the top of the horizontal plate 22. The gantry plate 261 is symmetrically opened on the side wall of the gantry 26. The outer wall of the limiting cylinder 27 can be connected to the end of the gantry plate 261 away from the gantry 26. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 29 is conical.
[0057] Example 2, see Figure 5 Furthermore, the support plate 31 is located on the top of the support platform 11, and the end face of the support plate 31 is hook-shaped. The first push plate 313 is located on one side of another transfer belt 152, and the extension plate 32 is located on the other transfer belt 152 away from the first push plate 313. A second image detector 314 is also provided on the side of the first cylinder 312 away from the first image detector 311, and a second cylinder 315 is provided on the side of the second image detector 314 away from the first cylinder 312. A second push plate 316 is provided at the telescopic end of the second cylinder 315.
[0058] The function of the second image detector 314 is to detect whether the number of Z-shaped connecting pieces is still entangled after reloading. If the number is still two or more, the second image detector 314 will transmit a signal to the controller, which will control the second cylinder 315 to start and push the second push plate 316 to push the Z-shaped connecting pieces back into the separation box 34.
[0059] See Figure 6Furthermore, the conveying component 33 includes a conveying cylinder 331, a conveying plate 332 disposed at the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 331, a pin 333 disposed on one side of the conveying plate 332, a short rod 334 disposed at one end of the pin 333, a flipping plate 335 disposed at the end of the short rod 334 away from the pin 333, a long rod 336 disposed at the end of the flipping plate 335 away from the short rod 334, a conveying rod 337 disposed at the end of the long rod 336 away from the flipping plate 335, and a magnetic suction piece 338 disposed at the end of the conveying rod 337 away from the long rod 336; the axial direction of the extension plate 32 away from the side wall of the support plate 31 is M. An extension slide rail 321 is symmetrically arranged in the direction of the extension slide rail 321, and an extension slider 322 slides symmetrically on the extension slide rail 321. The side of the extension slider 322 away from the extension slide rail 321 can be connected to the side wall of the transport plate 332. A transport groove 323 is also opened in the middle of the extension slide rail 321. The transport groove 323 is inclined downward. The pin 333 can slide in the transport groove 323. The end of the long rod 336 away from the transport rod 337 can pass through the side wall of the transport plate 332 through the bearing and be connected to the side wall of the flip plate 335 away from the short rod 334. The long rod 336 and the transport rod 337 are vertically distributed.
[0060] When picking up the Z-shaped connecting piece inside the separation box 34, the magnetic piece 338 can be used to magnetically attract the Z-shaped connecting piece inside the separation box 34. Subsequently, the transfer cylinder 331 is activated, pushing the transfer plate 332 to move. During this process, the transfer plate 332 will slide on the extension slide rail 321 via the extension slider 322. Since the extension slide rail 321 also has a transfer groove 323 in the middle, and the transfer groove 323 is inclined downward, the pin 333 can slide in the transfer groove 323. Therefore, the transfer plate... When displacement occurs at 332, it will also push the long rod 336. The long rod 336 will then drive the pin 333, short rod 334, flipping plate 335, transporting rod 337, and magnetic plate 338 to move synchronously. During this process, the pin 333 will slide along the opening trajectory of the transport groove 323, causing the short rod 334, flipping plate 335, long rod 336, transporting rod 337, and magnetic plate 338 to flip 90 degrees, so that the magnetically attracted Z-shaped connecting piece will flip 90 degrees synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of transporting and flipping.
[0061] See Figure 7Furthermore, the separation box 34 is located on top of the support platform 11. The separation box 34 has an opening at the top and a sealed bottom. Filter plates 341 are symmetrically arranged in the M-axis direction inside the separation box 34. The filter plates 341 are L-shaped. One side of the filter plate 341 can be connected to the inner wall of the separation box 34, and the other side can be connected to the bottom of the separation box 34. Filter holes 342 are evenly opened on the side wall of the filter plate 341. The two ends of the separation shaft 351 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the separation box 34 and are located between the corresponding filter plates 341 and the separation box 34. A push cylinder 343 is also provided at one end of the separation box 34. The telescopic end of the push cylinder 343 can penetrate the side wall of the separation box 34 and is provided with a push plate 344. The push plate 344 is distributed opposite to the separation motor 35.
[0062] The filter plate 341 serves to isolate the Z-shaped connecting piece and the separator fan 352, preventing secondary damage to the Z-shaped connecting piece when the separator fan 352 rotates.
[0063] The cylinder 343 is activated, which in turn moves the push plate 344 to move it. This pushes the Z-shaped connecting piece that is far from the magnetic plate 338 to below the magnetic plate 338. It can also push the Z-shaped connecting piece that has re-entered the separation box 34 to below the magnetic plate 338 to facilitate subsequent magnetic attraction.
[0064] See Figure 8 Furthermore, the connecting plate 36 is inverted L-shaped, and the top of the drying box 37 can be connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 36. The drying box 37 has an opening on one side and a closed opening on the other side. The drying box 37 is located above the separation box 34, and a sponge pad 371 is provided inside the drying box 37.
[0065] Through the design of the drying box 37 and the sponge pad 371, when the Z-shaped connecting piece is flipped 90 degrees, it will enter the drying box 37 and come into contact with the sponge pad 371 by squeezing. This allows the sponge pad 371 to absorb the moisture on the surface of the Z-shaped connecting piece, thus ensuring that the surface of the Z-shaped connecting piece is dry and clean.
[0066] See Figure 8 Furthermore, the conveying component 38 includes a conveying cylinder 381, a conveying plate 382 disposed at the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 381, and a buffer pad 383 disposed within the conveying plate 382; the outer wall of the conveying cylinder 381 can be connected to the side wall of the drying chamber 37, the end face of the conveying plate 382 is U-shaped, the buffer pad 383 is located in the U-shaped groove, and the two side walls of the drying chamber 37 are also symmetrically provided with through grooves 372, one end of the conveying plate 382 can be connected to the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 381 through the corresponding through groove 372, and the outer wall of the other end can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of another corresponding through groove 372 and located above another transfer belt 152.
[0067] When the Z-shaped connecting piece absorbs moisture, the magnetic suction piece 338 no longer magnetically attracts the Z-shaped connecting piece, and the Z-shaped connecting piece falls onto the buffer pad 383 due to gravity, avoiding secondary damage caused by the Z-shaped connecting piece being hit. Subsequently, the conveying cylinder 381 is activated, pulling the conveying plate 382 to retract. Since one end of the conveying plate 382 can be connected to the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 381 through the corresponding through groove 372, and the outer wall of the other end can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of another corresponding through groove 372 and is located above another transfer belt 152, the conveying plate 382 will rotate in the corresponding through groove 372, causing the conveying plate 382 to change from a horizontal state to an inclined state, so that the Z-shaped connecting piece on the buffer pad 383 rolls back onto the other transfer belt 152, thereby achieving the purpose of re-conveying and feeding.
[0068] Example 3, while addressing the issues raised in Examples 1 and 2 regarding the vibration and compression of ordinary connecting pieces during transport, leading to bending at the bottom of the packaging bag and deformation of pre-drilled holes, and the entanglement of Z-shaped connecting pieces (manual separation causing secondary deformation and even breakage at multiple bends), does not resolve the problem of stacking and re-entanglement of Z-shaped connecting pieces after unified collection and reloading. Therefore, the following solution is proposed:
[0069] See Figures 9-10 Furthermore, one end of the separating component 3 is also provided with a uniformly placed component 4; the uniformly placed component 4 includes a fixing block 41, a first turntable 42 disposed on the top of the fixing block 41, rotating rods 421 uniformly disposed on the outer wall of the first turntable 42, a rotating shaft 422 disposed at the bottom of the first turntable 42, a second turntable 423 disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 422 away from the first turntable 42, a first support rod 43 disposed on the side of the second turntable 423 away from the rotating shaft 422, a first support bar 431 rotatably connected to the side wall of the first support bar 43, an insert plate 432 disposed at the end of the first support bar 431 away from the first support bar 43, a long column 44 rotatably connected to the side wall of the first support bar 431, a second support bar 45 rotatably connected to the end of the long column 44 away from the first support bar 431, and a second support rod 46 rotatably connected to the end of the second support bar 45.
[0070] One side of the fixing block 41 can be connected to the side wall of another transfer plate 15. The end of the rotating shaft 422 away from the first turntable 42 can pass through the top of the fixing block 41 and be connected to the side wall of the second turntable 423. The outer wall of the second turntable 423 is also evenly provided with slots 4231, and the insert plate 432 can be inserted into the slot 4231.
[0071] The first support rod 43 and the second support rod 46 are both L-shaped. One end of the first support rod 43 and the second support rod 46 can be connected to the side wall of another transfer plate 15. A spring 4311 is also provided at the top of the first support rod 431. The end of the spring 4311 away from the first support rod 431 can be connected to the side wall of the fixing block 41. The end of the second support rod 45 away from the second support rod 46 is located above another transfer belt 152.
[0072] When the Z-type connecting pieces are re-conveyed on another transfer belt 152, since all the Z-type connecting pieces slide off at the same time when they are re-loaded, it is necessary to evenly separate and convey the Z-type connecting pieces.
[0073] The previous Z-shaped connecting piece is displaced by the conveyor belt 152, squeezing the second support bar 45, causing the second support bar 45 to rotate and shift. On the one hand, the previous Z-shaped connecting piece continues to move towards the assembly station via the second support bar 45; on the other hand, when the second support bar 45 shifts, it will drive the long column 44 and the first support bar 431 to shift synchronously, causing the insert plate 432 to move away from the slot 4231, and the spring 4311 to change from a free state to a stretched state. After the second turntable 423 is no longer limited, the next Z-shaped connecting piece is squeezed by the driving force of the conveyor to rotate the rotating rod 421, causing the rotating rod 421 to drive the first turntable 42, the rotating shaft 422 and the second turntable 423 to rotate synchronously, causing the next Z-shaped connecting piece to move closer to the second support bar 45.
[0074] When the next Z-shaped connecting piece passes the rotating rod 421, the spring 4311 changes from the stretched state to the free state, pulling the first support bar 431, the long column 44 and the second support bar 45 back to their initial positions. The insert plate 432 then continues to be inserted into the next slot 4231. This cycle repeats, thereby achieving uniform conveying and avoiding the problem of stacking after Z-shaped connecting pieces are picked up and reloaded, which would cause the Z-shaped connecting pieces to become entangled again. This improves the service life of the Z-shaped connecting pieces and reduces their scrap rate.
