The assembly of a single piece takes a long time and it is difficult to achieve continuous operation. At the same time, manual operation is prone to quality problems such as terminal deformation and damage, which increases the product defect rate and rework cost, thereby reducing production efficiency and processing accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a terminal assembly device, including a feeding tray, a conveying rail fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feeding tray, a support frame provided on one side of the conveying rail, a material picking structure fixedly provided at the top of the support frame, a pressing assembly provided on the side of the material picking structure away from the feeding tray, the pressing assembly including a first support platform, a small shell loading and unloading assembly provided on the side of the first support platform away from the feeding tray, and a staggered pressing assembly provided at the bottom of the first support platform located at the material picking assembly.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a pressing machine is fixedly installed on the top of the first support platform near the feeding tray. The output end of the pressing machine slides through the first support platform. A connecting seat is fixedly connected to the end of the pressing machine that passes through the platform. One side of the connecting seat is slidably connected to the middle of one side of the first support platform. A pressing needle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting seat.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a first fixed seat is fixedly provided on the side of the first support platform away from the connecting seat, a first slide rail is fixedly connected to the side of the first fixed seat near the connecting seat, and a pressing fixture is slidably connected to the side of the first slide rail away from the first fixed seat. A pressing groove is provided in the middle of the pressing fixture, and the pressing groove is aligned with the pressing fixture.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the small shell loading and unloading assembly includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly disposed on the side of the first support platform away from the loading tray. A first cylinder is fixedly disposed at the middle of the top of the fixing plate on the side away from the loading tray.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, limit rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the rotary cylinder, and the limit rods slide through the fixed plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a turntable is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the rotary cylinder, and pneumatic clamps are fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom end of the turntable.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the misaligned pressing assembly includes a support plate, which is fixedly disposed at the middle of the bottom end of the first support platform. Fixed slide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the support plate, and a slide table is slidably connected to the middle of the fixed slide rails.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a second fixed seat is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the support plate away from the feeding tray, and a second cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of the second fixed seat. The output end of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the slide table.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a second support platform is fixedly connected to the top of the slide table, and a placement mold is fixedly connected to the top of the second support platform. The initial position of the placement mold is aligned with the pneumatic clamp, and the placement mold moves to the other side with the second support platform and aligns with the pressing fixture.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, by setting up a pressing assembly, uses a material-grabbing structure to clamp and place the terminal onto the top of the pressing groove in the middle of the pressing fixture, and positions the terminal through the pressing groove.

The terminal slides down the pressing groove onto the small shell, thereby assembling the terminal, improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly, and avoiding the deformation and damage of the terminal caused by manual operation. By setting up a small shell loading and unloading assembly, the first cylinder is activated, which pushes the rotary cylinder downwards. The rotary cylinder pushes the turntable downwards, which in turn moves the limit rod and pneumatic clamps downwards. The limit rod limits the rotary cylinder, improving the stability of movement. The two pneumatic clamps move downwards and contact the small shells, thereby clamping the assembled and unassembled small shells at the top of the placement mold, respectively. Then, the first cylinder drives the pneumatic clamps upwards, and the rotary cylinder is activated to rotate the pneumatic clamps 180 degrees, causing the two small shells to switch positions. Then, the first cylinder pushes the pneumatic clamps downwards again, allowing the unassembled small shells to be placed on the placement mold for assembly. The assembled small shells are placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the next station. Thus, alternating continuous loading and unloading assembly is achieved, thereby improving assembly efficiency. By setting up a staggered pressing component, the small shell is placed on the top of the placement mold by a pneumatic clamp. Then, the second cylinder is activated, which pushes the slide table to slide along the trajectory of the fixed slide rail. The slide table drives the second support table to move to the bottom of the pressing fixture, so that the position of the small shell terminal installation inside the placement mold is aligned with the pressing groove. Then, the terminal is pressed into the placement mold by the pressing pin, thus completing the assembly. Therefore, the precise positioning and assembly of the small shell is achieved.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a terminal assembly device, including a feeding tray 1, a conveying rail 11 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feeding tray 1, a support frame 12 provided on one side of the conveying rail 11, a material picking structure 13 fixedly provided at the top of the support frame 12, a pressing assembly provided on the side of the material picking structure 13 away from the feeding tray 1, the pressing assembly including a first support platform 21, a small shell loading and unloading assembly provided on the side of the first support platform 21 away from the feeding tray 1, and a staggered pressing assembly provided at the bottom of the first support platform 21 located at the material picking assembly.

[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a pressing machine 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the first support platform 21 near the feeding tray 1. The output end of the pressing machine 22 slides through the first support platform 21. A connecting seat 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressing machine 22 that is through the platform. One side of the connecting seat 26 is slidably connected to the middle of one side of the first support platform 21. A pressing needle 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting seat 26. A first fixed seat 23 is fixedly installed on the middle of the first support platform 21 away from the connecting seat 26. A first slide rail 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the first fixed seat 23 near the connecting seat 26. A pressing fixture 25 is slidably connected to the side of the first slide rail 24 away from the first fixed seat 23. A pressing groove 251 is opened in the middle of the pressing fixture 25. The pressing groove 251 is aligned with the pressing needle 27.

[0020] In this embodiment, the material handling structure 13 is typically composed of a slide rail slider, a cylinder, and a clamp. The material handling structure 13 clamps and places the terminal onto the top of the pressing groove 251 in the middle of the pressing fixture 25, and positions the terminal through the pressing groove 251. Then, the pressing machine 22 is started to push the connecting seat 26 down, and the connecting seat 26 pushes the pressing pin 27 down. The pressing pin 27 pushes the terminal at the top of the pressing groove 251, and the terminal slides down the pressing groove 251 onto the small shell, thereby assembling the terminal, improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly, and avoiding the deformation and damage of the terminal caused by manual operation.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the small shell loading and unloading assembly includes a fixed plate 31, which is fixedly disposed on the side of the first support platform 21 away from the loading tray 1. A first cylinder 32 is fixedly disposed in the middle of the top of the fixed plate 31 away from the loading tray 1. The output end of the first cylinder 32 slides through the fixed plate 31. A rotary cylinder 33 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the first cylinder 32. Limiting rods 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the rotary cylinder 33. The limiting rods 36 slide through the fixed plate 31. A turntable 34 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the rotary cylinder 33. Pneumatic clamps 35 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the bottom of the turntable 34.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 32 is activated, which pushes the rotary cylinder 33 downward. The rotary cylinder 33 pushes the turntable 34 downward, and the turntable 34 drives the limiting rod 36 and the pneumatic clamp 35 downward. The limiting rod 36 limits the rotary cylinder 33, improving the stability of movement. The two pneumatic clamps 35 move downward and contact the small shell, thereby clamping the assembled small shell and the unassembled small shell at the top of the placement mold 46, respectively. Then, the first cylinder 32 drives the pneumatic clamp 35 upward, and the rotary cylinder 33 is activated to drive the pneumatic clamp 35 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the positions of the two small shells are swapped. Then, the first cylinder 32 pushes the pneumatic clamp 35 downward again, so that the unassembled small shell is placed on the placement mold 46 for assembly. The assembled small shell is placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the next station. Therefore, alternating continuous loading and unloading assembly is realized, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the misaligned pressing assembly includes a support plate 41, which is fixedly disposed at the middle of the bottom of the first support platform 21. Fixed slide rails 42 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support plate 41. A slide table 43 is slidably connected to the middle of the fixed slide rails 42. A second fixed seat 47 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the support plate 41 away from the feeding tray 1. A second cylinder 44 is fixedly disposed in the middle of the second fixed seat 47. The output end of the second cylinder 44 is fixedly connected to the slide table 43. A second support platform 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide table 43. A placement mold 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support platform 45. The initial position of the placement mold 46 is aligned with the pneumatic clamp 35. The placement mold 46 moves to the other side with the second support platform 45 and aligns with the pressing fixture 25.

[0024] In this embodiment, after the small shell is placed on the top of the placement mold 46 by the pneumatic clamp 35, the second cylinder 44 is activated. The second cylinder 44 pushes the slide table 43 to slide along the trajectory of the fixed slide rail 42. The slide table 43 drives the second support table 45 to move to the bottom of the pressing fixture 25, so that the position of the small shell terminal installation inside the placement mold 46 is aligned with the pressing groove 251. Then, the terminal is pressed into the placement mold 46 by the pressing pin 27, thereby completing the assembly. Thus, the small shell is accurately positioned and assembled.

[0025] Working principle: First, during use, terminals are fed through the feeding tray 1, gradually emerging from the conveying track 11. Then, the terminals are gripped by the picking structure 13 and placed on the top of the pressing groove 251. Simultaneously, the first cylinder 32 is activated, pushing the rotary cylinder 33 downwards. The rotary cylinder 33 pushes the turntable 34 downwards, which in turn moves the limiting rod 36 and pneumatic clamps 35 downwards. The limiting rod 36 limits the rotary cylinder 33, improving movement stability. The two pneumatic clamps 35 move downwards and contact the small shells, thus gripping the assembled and unassembled small shells on the top of the mold 46 respectively. Then, the first cylinder 32 drives the pneumatic clamps 35 upwards, and the rotary cylinder 33 is activated to rotate the pneumatic clamps 35 180 degrees, causing the two small shells to switch positions. Finally, the first cylinder 32 pushes again... The pneumatic clamp 35 moves down, placing the unassembled small shell on the placement mold 46 for assembly. The assembled small shell is then placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the next station, thus achieving alternating continuous loading and unloading assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Subsequently, the second cylinder 44 is activated, pushing the slide table 43 to slide along the trajectory of the fixed slide rail 42. The slide table 43 drives the second support table 45 to move to the bottom end of the pressing fixture 25, aligning the position of the small shell terminal installation inside the placement mold 46 with the pressing groove 251. The pressing machine 22 is activated, pushing the connecting seat 26 down. The connecting seat 26 pushes the pressing pin 27 down, and the pressing pin 27 pushes the terminal at the top of the pressing groove 251. The terminal slides down the pressing groove 251 onto the small shell, thereby assembling the terminal, improving assembly accuracy and efficiency, and avoiding terminal deformation and damage caused by manual operation.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
