Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated assembly equipment, and in particular to a sorting and collection mechanism for an automated connector assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, as core connecting components of electronic devices, are widely used in communications, automotive, industrial control, and other fields. Their structure typically consists of a plastic housing and pre-installed metal pins within the housing. The assembly precision of these two components directly determines the connector's conductivity and lifespan. To meet the demands of large-scale production, automated assembly equipment has become the core equipment in connector manufacturing. This equipment needs to integrate functional modules covering the entire process, including feeding, assembly, processing, testing, and collection. Through the coordinated operation of these components, efficient and standardized production of connector products can be achieved. The classification and collection of finished and defective products is a crucial step in ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0003] The connector automated assembly equipment disclosed in related technologies uses a base as its supporting foundation. Its top surface integrates an automatic conveyor belt, a first feeding assembly, a second feeding assembly, a clamping assembly, a bending assembly, a detection assembly, and a collection assembly. During operation, the first feeding assembly directionally conveys the plastic housing, while the second feeding assembly precisely feeds the metal pins. The clamping assembly presses the metal pins onto the preset positions on the plastic housing, and the bending assembly shapes and bends the exposed ends of the metal pins. The detection assembly performs a full inspection of the assembled product's dimensional accuracy, conductivity, and other indicators. Finally, the collection assembly sorts and collects good and defective products. This collection assembly uses a three-way clamping cylinder formed by multiple cylinders, working in conjunction with two collection boxes placed on the ground to complete material diversion through clamping and transfer.

[0004] While existing collection components can achieve the function of classifying and collecting finished connectors, the core actuator, the three-way clamping cylinder, requires the combined linkage of multiple individual cylinders to achieve the three-way clamping action. This not only results in a large number of parts and a complex integrated structure, leading to a significant increase in equipment procurement and subsequent maintenance costs, but also places high demands on the response accuracy of the electrical system for multi-cylinder coordinated control. Asynchronous cylinder movements can easily cause problems such as unstable clamping and material falling. Furthermore, the relatively large size of the three-way clamping cylinder occupies excessive installation space on the discharge side of the base, hindering the compact design of the overall equipment layout and resulting in poor adaptability to production line space, indicating room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a sorting and collection mechanism for an automatic connector assembly machine, which solves the problems of high cost of collection components, complex structure, difficulty in control, non-compact equipment layout and poor material transfer stability in the above-mentioned related technologies.

[0006] The sorting and collection mechanism for an automatic connector assembly machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A sorting and collection mechanism for an automatic connector assembly machine includes a base, a discharge conveyor belt fixed on the base, and a plurality of movable wheels fixed on the bottom surface of the base. A first discharge chute inclined downwards is slidably mounted on the top surface of the base, and a driving component is fixed thereon to drive the first discharge chute to reciprocate along a direction perpendicular to the discharge conveyor belt. A second discharge chute inclined downwards is vertically fixed on the side of the first discharge chute away from the driving component. The first discharge chute is parallel to the length direction of the discharge conveyor belt, and the second discharge chute is perpendicular to the length direction of the discharge conveyor belt. A finished product collection box with an upward opening located on the discharge side of the first discharge chute and a waste collection box with an upward opening located below the discharge side of the second discharge chute are fixed on the top surface of the base. When the inlet side of the first discharge chute coincides with the discharge side of the discharge conveyor belt, the inlet side of the second discharge chute is misaligned with the discharge side of the discharge conveyor belt.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a single driving component drives the first discharge slide to slide back and forth, in conjunction with the vertically fixed second discharge slide. Through the alignment / misalignment switching between the slide and the discharge conveyor belt, the automatic separation of good and defective products can be completed without a complex clamping and transfer structure, significantly reducing the number of parts and lowering equipment procurement and maintenance costs. The inclined design of the slide relies on gravity to allow materials to slide naturally, avoiding the synchronization problem of multi-cylinder collaborative control, reducing the risk of material falling, and improving transfer stability. The entire component is integrated on the top surface of the base, with a compact structure and reasonable layout, effectively saving installation space and adapting to the compact design requirements of production lines.

[0008] Optionally, the finished product collection box has a discharge port on its vertical side away from the first discharge chute and a detachable sealing plate; the base has an upward-facing flexible collection bag installed on its vertical side near the finished product collection box and is provided with a support member to support and fix the flexible collection bag.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when feeding materials, the sealing plate can be opened to allow the finished product to be discharged through the feeding port. The flexible collection bag, which is fixed by the support component, receives the material without stopping the machine to disassemble the collection box, thus ensuring production continuity. The detachable design of the sealing plate facilitates maintenance, the flexible collection bag is adaptable to different capacity requirements and is easy to store, and the support component ensures that the flexible collection bag is stably supported, preventing material spillage. The overall structure is simple and practical, which not only improves feeding efficiency but also reduces the intensity of manual operation, and is compatible with the high-efficiency production rhythm of automated assembly machines.

[0010] Optionally, the support includes two support rods rotatably mounted at one end on the vertical side of the base, and two limiting rods rotatably mounted at one end on the vertical side of the base. The rotation surface of the support rods is parallel to the side of the base facing the flexible collection bag, and the rotation surface of the limiting rods is parallel to the top surface of the base. The support rods can rotate to a vertically upward storage state and to a horizontally outward support state. When the support rods are in the support state, the limiting rods can rotate towards each other to a coaxial support state, at which point the top surface of the limiting rods abuts against the bottom surface of the support rods. Locking rods are rotatably mounted on the sides of the two support rods that are close to each other, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the locking rods and the support rods. When the support rods are in the support state, the rotation of the locking rods is parallel to the top surface of the base, and the locking rods rotate to a parallel abutment state under the action of the torsion springs. The upper edge of the flexible collection bag can be clamped between the locking rods and the support rods when the support rods are in the support state.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rod can switch between vertical storage and horizontal support states. When idle, it can be stored without occupying extra space, and when unloading, it can be unfolded to provide reliable support for the flexible collection bag. The limiting rod rotates in opposite directions and abuts against the bottom surface of the support rod to form a stable support structure, preventing the support rod from deforming under stress and ensuring the stability of the flexible collection bag when receiving materials. The design of the locking rod and torsion spring can automatically clamp the upper edge of the flexible collection bag using the elasticity of the torsion spring, without the need for additional fixing operations. This simplifies the installation process and prevents materials from falling. Moreover, the rotation direction of the locking rod is parallel to the top surface of the base, which adapts to the installation angle of the flexible collection bag and makes the clamping more snug.

[0012] Optionally, the base is provided with two vertically installed positioning rods on the side facing the flexible collection bag, and an elastic extrusion member is fixedly provided to drive the support rod to slide upward; when the support rod is in the retracted state, the two limiting rods can rotate to a coaxial adjustment state in opposite directions, and the bottom surface of the limiting rod can abut against the top surface of the positioning rod at this time, and the bottom surface of the positioning rod is flush with the lowest point of the moving wheel at this time.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support rod is stored, the limiting rod rotates in opposite directions to press against the positioning rod, making the bottom surface of the positioning rod flush with the moving wheel, forming a multi-point support structure. This improves the stability of the mechanism when stationary and avoids displacement caused by uneven force on the moving wheel. The elastic pressing component can drive the positioning rod to automatically reset, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and simplifying the operation process. The linkage design of the positioning rod and the limiting rod not only makes full use of the component's function in the stored state without the need for additional support structures, but also ensures the flexibility and reliability of the positioning rod's movement through the elastic pressing component, further improving the structural rationality and operational stability of the sorting and collection mechanism.

[0014] Optionally, the elastic compression member includes a first spring in a compressed state, a guide block fixed on the base, and a protruding plate fixed on the positioning rod; the guide block has a guide hole for the positioning rod to pass through, the protruding plate is located above the guide block, and the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the protruding plate and the side of the guide block that are close to each other.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic extrusion component achieves stable reset and elastic support of the positioning rod with a simple structure: the first spring in the compressed state provides a continuous upward elastic force to the positioning rod, and the guide hole of the guide block precisely guides the sliding of the positioning rod, ensuring the vertical lifting and lowering of the positioning rod; the protruding plate, as the force carrier of the spring, makes the elastic force transmission more uniform, ensuring the force stability when the positioning rod and the limit rod abut. The overall structure is simple, with few parts, and no additional drive components are required to achieve automatic reset of the positioning rod, which reduces costs and improves the reliability and smoothness of the positioning rod's movement.

[0016] Optionally, the sealing plate can be rotated to a tilted downward guiding state in the direction away from the finished product collection box, and to a vertically upward sealing state in the direction close to the finished product collection box. The support rod is provided with a locking component to limit the sealing plate in the sealing state, and the limiting rod is provided with a fixing component to limit the sealing plate in the guiding state.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate can be switched to a vertical sealing state or an inclined guiding state as needed, adapting to the requirements of finished product temporary storage and material unloading respectively; the locking component on the support rod can limit the sealing plate in the sealing state to prevent the sealing plate from loosening and causing material leakage during collection; the fixing component on the limiting rod can fix the sealing plate in the guiding state to ensure that the material slides down the preset path during unloading. The overall design integrates locking functions with existing support and limiting components, eliminating the need for additional fixing structures, simplifying the number of components, improving the integration and ease of operation of the mechanism, and adapting to the efficient production rhythm of unloading without stopping the machine.

[0018] Optionally, the finished product collection box has a placement groove on the side away from the first discharge chute, and a flexible limiting curtain is provided above the base, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove. The other side of the flexible limiting curtain is fixedly connected to the two sides of the sealing plate near the placement groove. The flexible limiting curtain unfolds from the placement groove for protection when the sealing plate is in the material guiding state, and folds into the placement groove for storage when the sealing plate is in the sealing state.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible limiting curtain switches in tandem with the sealing plate: it unfolds to form a protective barrier during material feeding, preventing material spillage; and it folds up and stores in the placement slot during sealing, without occupying extra space. The overall design requires no manual intervention and moves synchronously with the sealing plate, improving the cleanliness of the feeding process and the space utilization of the mechanism.

[0020] Optionally, the fixing component includes a fixing block fixed vertically to the top surface of the limiting rod, and a fixing notch is provided on the top surface of the fixing block; when the sealing plate is in the material guiding state, the edge away from the finished product collection box can be inserted into the fixing notch.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing block is fixed to the top surface of the limiting rod. Through a fixing notch, it engages with the edge of the sealing plate furthest from the finished product collection box, providing reliable support for the sealing plate in an inclined guiding state. This prevents the sealing plate from shifting or shaking due to material impact, ensuring a stable feeding path. Simultaneously, the fixing component is integrated with the limiting rod, eliminating the need for additional mounting brackets, simplifying the number of parts and reducing structural complexity. The snap-fit ​​limiting operation is convenient, allowing for quick locking of the sealing plate without complex adjustments, meeting the high-efficiency production requirements of non-stop feeding, and further improving the operational stability and practicality of the sorting and collection mechanism.

[0022] Optionally, the locking component includes an elastic telescopic rod coaxially fixed to the side of the support rod away from the base. The elastic telescopic rod has the property of active elastic shortening. A locking rod is vertically fixed to the end of the elastic telescopic rod away from the support rod. A locking protrusion is fixed to the side of the locking rod facing the elastic telescopic rod. A locking groove is formed on the top surface of the finished product collection box. When the support rod is in the retracted state and the sealing plate is in the sealing state, the locking protrusion moves down and engages with the locking groove. At this time, one side of the support rod abuts against the side of the sealing plate away from the finished product collection box.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic telescopic rod, in conjunction with the locking rod and locking protrusion, automatically drives the locking protrusion to engage with the locking groove of the finished product collection box when the support rod is in the retracted state. Simultaneously, the side of the support rod abuts against the sealing plate, forming a double-limiting structure to prevent the sealing plate from loosening and leaking during material collection. The elastic telescopic rod has active elastic shortening performance; unlocking is simply a matter of pulling up the locking rod, requiring no complex tools, making operation convenient and efficient. The locking component is integrated into the support rod, eliminating the need for additional installation space, simplifying the overall structure, reducing maintenance costs, and adapting to the rapid operation requirements of automated production.

[0024] Optionally, a guide slope is provided on the side edge of the locking protrusion away from the locking rod.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide slope of the locking protrusion can guide it to slide quickly into the locking groove, reducing the difficulty of locking and alignment, making the locking operation smoother, and improving the efficiency of the sealing plate state switching.

[0026] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: This application utilizes a single drive component to drive the first discharge slide to slide back and forth, in conjunction with a vertically fixed second discharge slide. By switching the alignment / misalignment between the slide and the discharge conveyor belt, the automatic separation of good and defective products can be completed without a complex clamping and transfer structure, significantly reducing the number of parts and lowering equipment procurement and maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example: Reference Figure 1A sorting and collection mechanism for an automatic connector assembly machine includes a base 1, a discharge conveyor belt 11 fixed on the base 1, and four movable wheels 12 fixed on the bottom surface of the base 1; a first discharge slide 13 inclined downward is slidably provided on the top surface of the base 1, and a driving component 15 is fixedly provided to drive the first discharge slide 13 to slide back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the discharge conveyor belt 11, wherein the driving component 15 is a conventional driving cylinder 151; The first discharge chute 13 is vertically fixed on the side away from the drive component 15, and the second discharge chute 14 is inclined and fixed on the side away from the drive component 15. The first discharge chute 13 is parallel to the length direction of the discharge conveyor belt 11, and the second discharge chute 14 is perpendicular to the length direction of the discharge conveyor belt 11. The top surface of the base 1 is fixed with an upward-facing finished product collection box 2 located on the discharge side of the first discharge chute 13 and a waste collection box 16 located below the discharge side of the second discharge chute 14. When the drive cylinder 151 drives the first discharge slide 13 to slide, so that the feed side of the first discharge slide 13 coincides with the discharge side of the discharge conveyor belt 11, the feed side of the second discharge slide 14 is misaligned with the discharge side of the discharge conveyor belt 11. At this time, the good workpiece can slide into the finished product collection box 2 along the first discharge slide 13; otherwise, the defective workpiece slides into the waste collection box 16 along the second discharge slide 14.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The finished product collection box 2 has a discharge port 21 on its vertical side away from the first discharge slide 13 and a sealing plate 22 that can be detachably installed; the base 1 has a flexible collection bag 3 with its opening facing upward on its vertical side near the finished product collection box 2 and a support member 4 that supports and fixes the flexible collection bag 3. After the finished product collection box 2 is full, the flexible collection bag 3 is supported by the support component 4 beforehand, and then the sealing plate 22 is opened so that the material falls into the flexible collection bag 3 through the discharge port 21, thus achieving rapid removal of the material in the finished product collection box 2 without stopping the machine.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support member 4 includes two support rods 41 with one end rotatably mounted on the vertical side of the base 1, and two limiting rods 42 with one end rotatably mounted on the vertical side of the base 1. The rotation surface of the support rods 41 is parallel to the side of the base 1 facing the flexible collection bag 3, and the rotation surface of the limiting rods 42 is parallel to the top surface of the base 1. The support rod 41 can rotate to a vertically upward retracted state and to a horizontally outward supporting state; when the support rod 41 is in the supporting state, the limiting rod 42 can rotate to a coaxial supporting state, and the top surface of the limiting rod 42 abuts against the bottom surface of the support rod 41 at this time; a locking rod 43 is rotatably installed on the side of the two support rods 41 that are close to each other, and a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided at the rotatable connection between the locking rod 43 and the support rod 41. When the support rod 41 is in the supported state, the locking rod 43 rotates parallel to the top surface of the base 1. Under the action of the torsion spring, the locking rod 43 rotates to the parallel contact state with the support rod 41. When the support rod 41 is in the supported state, the limiting rod 42 is used to limit the rotation of the support rod 41. Then, the upper edge of the flexible collection bag 3 is clamped between the locking rod 43 and the support rod 41, thereby limiting the position of the flexible collection bag 3.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 A positioning component 5 is provided on the side of the base 1 facing the flexible collection bag 3. The positioning component 5 includes two positioning rods 51 that slide vertically on the base 1. An elastic extrusion member 52 that drives the support rod 41 to slide upward is fixed on the base 1. The elastic extrusion member 52 includes a first spring 521 in a compressed state, a guide block 522 fixed on the base 1, and a protruding plate 523 fixed on the positioning rods 51. The guide block 522 has a guide hole for the positioning rod 51 to pass through. The protruding plate 523 is located above the guide block 522, and the two ends of the first spring 521 are fixedly connected to the protruding plate 523 and the guide block 522 respectively. When the support rod 41 is in the retracted state, the two limiting rods 42 can rotate to the coaxial adjustment state in opposite directions. At this time, the bottom surface of the limiting rod 42 can abut against the top surface of the positioning rod 51, and the bottom surface of the positioning rod 51 is flush with the lowest point of the moving wheel 12.

[0034] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The sealing plate 22 can be rotated to a tilted downward guiding state in the direction away from the finished product collection box 2, and to a vertical upward sealing state in the direction close to the finished product collection box 2. The support rod 41 is provided with a locking member 6 to limit the sealing plate 22 in the sealing state, and the limiting rod 42 is provided with a fixing member 7 to limit the sealing plate 22 in the guiding state.

[0035] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The locking component 6 includes an elastic telescopic rod 61 coaxially fixed to the side of the support rod 41 away from the base 1. The elastic telescopic rod 61 has the property of active elastic shortening. The elastic telescopic rod 61 is a conventional elastic telescopic structure with an internal spring, which will not be described in detail here. A locking rod 62 is vertically fixed to the end of the elastic telescopic rod 61 away from the support rod 41. A locking protrusion 63 is fixed on the side of the locking rod 62 facing the elastic telescopic rod 61, and a guide slope 631 is provided on the side edge of the locking protrusion 63 away from the locking rod 62. A locking groove 23 is provided on the top surface of the finished product collection box 2. When the support rod 41 is in the retracted state and the sealing plate 22 is in the sealing state, the locking protrusion 63 moves down under the action of the elastic telescopic rod 61 and is inserted into the locking groove 23. At this time, one side of the support rod 41 abuts against the side of the sealing plate 22 away from the finished product collection box 2, thereby locking the state of the sealing plate 22 at this time.

[0036] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixing component 7 includes a fixing block 71 fixed vertically on the top surface of the limiting rod 42. A fixing notch 711 is provided on the top surface of the fixing block 71. When the sealing plate 22 is in the material guiding state, the lower edge of the sealing plate 22 away from the finished product collection box 2 can be inserted into the fixing notch 711, thereby realizing the limiting and locking of the sealing plate 22 and also realizing the rotational self-locking of the limiting rod 42.

[0037] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The finished product collection box 2 has a placement groove 24 on the side away from the first discharge slide 13. A flexible limiting curtain 8 is provided above the base 1, with one side fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 24. The other side of the flexible limiting curtain 8 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the sealing plate 22 near the placement groove 24. When the sealing plate 22 is in the material guiding state, the flexible limiting curtain 8 unfolds from the placement groove 24 for protection. When the sealing plate 22 is in the sealing state, the flexible limiting curtain 8 is folded and placed into the placement groove 24 for storage.

[0038] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: Classification and collection status: When the drive cylinder 151 drives the first discharge slide 13 to slide and aligns with the discharge conveyor belt 11, the good products fall into the finished product collection box 2 along the first discharge slide 13; when pulled in the opposite direction, causing the first discharge slide 13 to be misaligned with the discharge conveyor belt 11, the defective products enter the waste collection box 16 through the second discharge slide 14, thus realizing automatic classification.

[0039] Finished product unloading state: The worker applies force to pull the elastic telescopic rod 61 upward, causing the locking protrusion 63 to disengage from the locking groove 23, and then rotates the support rod 41 to the horizontal support state. The limiting rod 42 rotates in opposite directions to support the support rod 41, and the edge of the flexible collection bag 3 is clamped between the locking rod 62 and the support rod 41. Then, the sealing plate 22 is flipped to the material guiding state, and its lower edge is inserted into the fixing notch 711 of the fixing member 7 for limiting. At the same time, the flexible limiting curtain 8 unfolds for protection. The finished product is introduced into the flexible collection bag 3 through the unloading port 21 and the sealing plate 22, realizing unloading without stopping the machine.

[0040] Storage and Reset State: After the material is unloaded, remove the flexible collection bag 3, reset the sealing plate 22 to the sealing state, and then rotate the support rod 41 to vertical storage. At this time, the locking protrusion 63 is locked into the locking groove 23, and the flexible limiting curtain 8 is folded and stored, and the device returns to the initial state; the limiting rod 42 rotates in opposite directions to press against the positioning rod 51, and the positioning rod 51 moves down to be flush with the moving wheel 12 for auxiliary support.
