Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic connector assembly technology, and in particular to an assembly device for electronic connectors with high mating and extraction life. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN214706371U discloses an electronic connector with multiple assembly methods, including side plates and a main connecting assembly. The side plates are symmetrically arranged in two parts, each with an adjustment assembly and a secondary connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a mounting rod, a cylindrical tube, a connecting seat, a nut, a limiting rod, a limiting plate, and a threaded tube. The two ends of the mounting rod are rotatably connected to the bottom of opposite sides of the side plates. There are at least four cylindrical tubes, which are evenly and movably fitted onto the mounting rod. The connecting seats are evenly distributed on the circumferential sides of the cylindrical tubes. The nuts are symmetrically rotatably connected to the cylindrical tubes located at both ends, and are threaded onto the mounting rod. The limiting rods are symmetrically distributed on the circumferential sides of the cylindrical tubes. The threaded tubes are symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the limiting plate. This electronic connector with multiple assembly methods adopts a split structure, allowing for various combination assembly methods, offering high flexibility and practicality.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The present invention has a reasonable structure. The first cylinder on the positioning seat extends and retracts, and the other end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder causes the frame to move. The bottom surface of the frame is fixedly connected to the first slider, and the first slider is slidably connected inside the first slide rail. The movement of the frame is facilitated by the sliding of the first slider inside the first slide rail, thereby increasing the stability of the overall movement of the frame. The movement of the adjusting block causes the second slider to slide inside the second guide rail, thereby facilitating the movement of the main shaft on the adjusting block to drive the limiting plate on the docking seat.

[0019] 2. In this invention, when the limiting plate is flipped, the frame is first moved so that the clamping plate is at the top of the pulley. Then, the second cylinder pushes the adjusting block to move. As the adjusting block continues to move, the pulley is pressed against the bottom surface of the clamping plate, which facilitates the main shaft to rotate 180 degrees. When the main shaft rotates, the first pin on the linkage plate will pull the first spring to rotate, which facilitates the linkage plate to rotate to another stop bar to stop. This makes it easier for the main shaft to drive the limiting plate to rotate 180 degrees, which facilitates the flipping of the connector and the installation of the protective cover on the connector terminal.

[0020] 3. In this invention, several sets of storage slots are provided on the shelf. The connector is placed inside the storage slot, and the top position of the connector is fixed by the pressure plate. Then, the elastic force of the second spring makes the clamping plate adhere to the side of the connector, thereby facilitating the fixing of the connector inside the storage slot. When it is necessary to remove the connector inside the storage slot, the pull plate is pulled to make the inclined groove disengage from the surface of the clamping post, and then the side plate is rotated, thereby facilitating the removal of the connector inside the storage slot.

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.

[0032] Example: Reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 The assembly equipment for a high insertion / removal life electronic connector includes a device body 1. Circular holes 101 are provided at the four corners of the device body 1. A storage bin 102 with an upward-facing opening is fixedly installed on the top surface of the device body 1. A pair of brackets 103 are fixedly connected to one side of the storage bin 102. A carrying plate 104 is fixedly connected to the top of the pair of brackets 103. A feeding hopper 105 is fixedly installed on the carrying plate 104. The equipment also includes an adjustment component, a flipping component, and a placement component.

The flipping component is positioned on the device body 1 for use in conjunction with a limiting plate 212. The placement component is positioned at the bottom of the limiting plate 212 for placing the connector.

[0033] Specifically, it should be noted that both the first cylinder 205 and the second cylinder 3 are controlled by a control unit, and the specific details between them are based on existing technology, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0034] In one embodiment of this invention, the adjustment assembly includes a tray 2 fixedly installed on the surface of the device body 1. A first slide rail 201 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the tray 2. A first slider 202 is slidably connected inside the first slide rail 201. The first slider 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame 203. A pair of locking plates 204 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 203. A first cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 203. The other end of the first cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the positioning seat 206. The bottom end of the positioning seat 206 is fixedly connected to the tray 2. A second guide rail 207 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal position of the device body 1. A second slider 208 is slidably connected inside the second guide rail 207. An adjustment block 209 is fixedly connected to the second slider 208. A main shaft 210 is rotatably connected inside the adjustment block 209. One end of the main shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the docking seat 211. The docking seat 211 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 212.

[0035] Specifically, the first cylinder 205 on the positioning seat 206 extends and retracts. The other end of the first cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the frame 203. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 205 causes the frame 203 to move. The bottom surface of the frame 203 is fixedly connected to the first slider 202, and the first slider 202 is slidably connected inside the first slide rail 201. The movement of the frame 203 is facilitated by the sliding of the first slider 202 inside the first slide rail 201, thereby increasing the overall stability of the movement of the frame 203. The movement of the adjusting block 209 causes the second slider 208 to slide inside the second guide rail 207, thereby facilitating the movement of the main shaft 210 on the adjusting block 209, which drives the limiting plate 212 on the docking seat 211.

[0036] As one embodiment of this invention, the flipping assembly includes a second cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting block 209. The bottom end of the second cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the device body 1. The other end of the main shaft 210 is fixedly connected to a linkage plate 301. The bottom surface of the linkage plate 301 is attached to a stop rod 302. One end of the stop rod 302 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 209. The other end of the linkage plate 301 is fixedly connected to a first pin 303. A first spring 304 is fixedly connected to the first pin 303. The other end of the first spring 304 is fixedly connected to a second pin 305. One end of the second pin 305 is rotatably connected to a base 306. The top end of the base 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting block 209. A collar 307 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 210. A pair of positioning plates 308 are fixedly connected to the surface of the collar 307. The other ends of the pair of positioning plates 308 are rotatably connected to pulleys 309.

[0037] Specifically, when flipping the limiting plate 212, the frame 203 is first moved so that the clamping plate 204 is positioned at the top of the pulley 309. Then, the second cylinder 3 pushes the adjusting block 209 to move. As the adjusting block 209 continues to move, the pulley 309 is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the clamping plate 204, which facilitates the rotation of the main shaft 210 by 180 degrees. When the main shaft 210 rotates, the first pin 303 on the linkage plate 301 pulls the first spring 304 to rotate, which facilitates the rotation of the linkage plate 301 to another stop bar 302 to stop it. This allows the main shaft 210 to drive the limiting plate 212 to rotate 180 degrees, which facilitates the flipping of the connector.

[0038] In one embodiment of this invention, the storage component includes a slot 4 formed on the limiting plate 212. A locking block 401 is fitted inside the slot 4. The locking block 401 is fixedly connected to a shaft pin 402. A rotating plate 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the shaft pin 402, and the rotating plate 403 is attached to the top surface of the limiting plate 212. The bottom end of the shaft pin 402 is rotatably connected to a shelf 404. Several sets of storage slots 405 are formed on the shelf 404. A hinge seat 406 is fixedly connected to the shelf 404. Side plates 407 are rotatably connected to both ends of the hinge seat 406. A fixing seat 408 is fixedly connected to the other end of the side plate 407. The fixing seat 408 is fixedly mounted on a fixing plate 409. Several sets of pressure plates 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 409. 10. The pressure plate 410 is located on both sides of the opening of the storage slot 405. Several sets of L-shaped seats 411 are fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing plate 409. Insert rods 412 are movably inserted on the L-shaped seats 411. One end of the insert rod 412 is fixedly connected to a retaining ring 413. A second spring 414 is sleeved on the insert rod 412. The two ends of the second spring 414 are fixedly connected to one side of the retaining ring 413 and one side of the L-shaped seat 411, respectively. The other end of the insert rod 412 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 415. A side rod 416 is fixedly connected to the surface of the side plate 407. One end of the side rod 416 is rotatably connected to a pull plate 417. The other end of the pull plate 417 has an inclined groove 418. The inclined groove 418 is locked on the locking post 419. The locking post 419 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 212.

[0039] Specifically, several sets of storage slots 405 are provided on the shelf 404. The connector is placed inside the storage slot 405, and the top position of the connector is fixed by the pressure plate 410. Then, the elastic force of the second spring 414 causes the clamping plate 415 to adhere to the side of the connector, thereby facilitating the fixing of the connector inside the storage slot 405. When it is necessary to remove the connector inside the storage slot 405, the pull plate 417 is pulled to disengage the inclined groove 418 from the surface of the locking post 419, and then the side plate 407 is rotated, thereby facilitating the removal of the connector inside the storage slot 405.

[0040] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The first cylinder 205 on the positioning seat 206 extends and retracts. The other end of the first cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the frame 203. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 205 causes the frame 203 to move. The bottom surface of the frame 203 is fixedly connected to the first slider 202, and the first slider 202 is slidably connected inside the first slide rail 201. The movement of the frame 203 is facilitated by the sliding of the first slider 202 inside the first slide rail 201, thereby increasing the overall stability of the movement of the frame 203. The movement of the adjusting block 209 causes the second slider 208 to slide inside the second guide rail 207, thereby facilitating the movement of the main shaft 210 on the adjusting block 209, which drives the limiting plate 212 on the docking seat 211.

[0041] When the limiting plate 212 is flipped, the frame 203 is first moved so that the clamping plate 204 is at the top of the pulley 309. Then the second cylinder 3 pushes the adjusting block 209 to move. As the adjusting block 209 continues to move, the pulley 309 is pressed against the bottom surface of the clamping plate 204, which makes it easy for the main shaft 210 to rotate 180 degrees. When the main shaft 210 rotates, the first pin 303 on the linkage plate 301 will pull the first spring 304 to rotate, which makes it easy for the linkage plate 301 to rotate to another stop bar 302 to stop. This makes it easy for the main shaft 210 to drive the limiting plate 212 to rotate 180 degrees, which makes it easy to flip the connector and facilitate the installation of the protective cover of the connector terminal.

[0042] Several sets of storage slots 405 are provided on the shelf 404. The connector is placed inside the storage slot 405. The top position of the connector is fixed by the pressure plate 410. Then, the elastic force of the second spring 414 causes the clamping plate 415 to adhere to the side of the connector, thereby facilitating the fixing of the connector inside the storage slot 405. When it is necessary to remove the connector inside the storage slot 405, the pull plate 417 is pulled to disengage the inclined groove 418 from the surface of the locking post 419. Then, the side plate 407 is rotated to facilitate the removal of the connector inside the storage slot 405.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
