Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector assembly technology, specifically to a connector gland assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable component in electronic devices, the precision and efficiency of connector production and assembly directly affect the overall quality and cost of the product. Precisely pressing the cover onto the connector body is one of the key processes in connector manufacturing. Existing connector cover assembly equipment typically employs multi-station rotary tables or assembly line structures; however, existing technologies still have the following shortcomings in practical applications:

[0003] Firstly, in most of the equipment, actions such as feeding, pressing, and rotation are driven by multiple independent power sources, resulting in a loose overall structure and large size of the equipment.

[0004] Secondly, since each action module operates independently, the coordination of its action timing is difficult to control precisely, which can easily lead to motion interference and seriously affect production stability and yield.

[0005] Therefore, a connector cap assembly device is designed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connector cap assembly device that integrates three actions—material feeding, pressing, and tooth shifting—on a three-power drive disc mechanism. It also utilizes the internal space of the belt feeding mechanism for a compact layout, achieving an optimized workflow of "simultaneous pressing and feeding, with tooth shifting during reset." Furthermore, through a time-sharing drive design, the intermittent tooth shifting mechanism is ensured to rotate only after the pressing head mechanism and the material feeding rod mechanism have reset, fundamentally avoiding motion interference and significantly improving the assembly accuracy, operational stability, and space utilization of the equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a connector cap assembly device, comprising: a machine body; a belt feeding mechanism disposed inside the machine body for transporting and feeding caps; a storage tray assembly disposed at the front end of the machine body for vertically stacking several connector bodies; and an assembly roller disposed on the machine body and positioned between the belt feeding mechanism and the storage tray assembly, serving as a pressing assembly site for connectors and caps; and a three-power drive disc mechanism disposed in the middle of the machine body and positioned inside the belt feeding mechanism, wherein the actuating end of the three-power drive disc mechanism is sequentially provided with a feeding rod mechanism, a pressure head mechanism, and an intermittent feeding tooth mechanism. In this process, the feeding rod mechanism extends to the storage tray assembly and acts on the connector body; the pressure head mechanism acts on the inner side of the cover on the belt feeding mechanism; and the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism acts on the end of the assembly roller for its prying rotation. When the three-power drive disc mechanism drives the pressure head mechanism to perform a pressing action on the cover, the feeding rod mechanism can push the connector body into the assembly roller for a feeding action. The intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism does not trigger the assembly roller to run. When the pressure head mechanism and the feeding rod mechanism move away from the assembly roller and reset, the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism triggers the assembly roller to pry once to perform the pressing of the connector body at the next station.

[0008] Preferably, the machine body includes a base frame and a support frame mounted on the base frame. The storage tray assembly is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base frame and placed in front of the support frame. The storage tray assembly includes a storage box and a roller at the bottom of the storage box. Several connector bodies are stacked inside the storage box above the roller. The connector bodies at the bottom have opening slots corresponding to the positions of the storage boxes for the entry of the material feeding rod mechanism. A pressure plate is provided on the upper surface of the connector bodies at the top. A spring body is provided between the pressure plate and the top of the storage box.

[0009] Preferably, the three-power drive disc mechanism includes a mounting plate on a fixed base, a support seat horizontally mounted on the mounting plate, the support seat being positioned in the middle of the belt feeding mechanism, a plurality of horizontally arranged sliding rods mounted on the front side of the support seat, and a second sliding seat and a first sliding seat respectively mounted on the sliding rods that can slide horizontally and be staggered front and back, a second mounting seat fixed on the second sliding seat, and the pressure head mechanism mounted on the second mounting seat; a first mounting seat fixed on the first sliding seat, the material feeding rod mechanism mounted on the first mounting seat, a deflectable first swing rod mounted on the support seat via a first mounting shaft, a transmission column provided in the middle of the first swing rod, and first mounting grooves opened on the first swing rod and located on both sides of the transmission column, wherein the first mounting seat and the corresponding first... The rocker arm is connected to a first connecting rod via a pin. The second mounting base and the first rocker arm on the other side are connected to a second connecting rod via pins. The system also includes a connecting shaft seat rotatably mounted on a support base. One end of the connecting shaft seat is connected to a turntable. The lower surface of the turntable has a cam groove adapted to the transmission column. The other end of the connecting shaft seat passes through the support base and is connected to a second motor at its bottom. A second mounting shaft is also provided at a corner of the support base. A deflectable second rocker arm is mounted on the second mounting shaft. A third mounting groove is provided in the middle of the second rocker arm. The middle of the turntable is located on a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the third mounting groove are respectively connected to a transmission connector via pins. An end piece is also fixed to the end of the second rocker arm away from the second mounting shaft. The intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism is connected to the end of the end piece.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding rod mechanism includes a connecting frame fixed on the first mounting base and arranged laterally. The connecting frame extends to the front side of the storage tray assembly and is provided with a push block. The push block can act on the opening slot position to push out the connector body and enter the assembly roller body.

[0011] Preferably, the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism includes a connecting seat fixed on the mounting plate, a guide member mounted at the end of the connecting seat, and a movable rod that is laterally mounted to the guide member and can slide horizontally. A hook is hinged to the end of the movable rod near the assembly roller body. An elastic pressure strip for the hook to press is also provided on the guide member. A connecting rod is hinged to the end of the movable rod near the second swing arm. The end of the connecting rod away from the mounting strip is hinged to the end piece.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing head mechanism includes a large gear and a small gear rotatably mounted on a second mounting base and meshing with each other. The diameter of the large gear is larger than the diameter of the small gear. A first motor is provided inside the second mounting base, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the large gear. A mounting sleeve is also provided to fix the front end of the second mounting base. A drive rod that can extend and retract back and forth is installed inside the mounting sleeve. A pressing head seat for pressing the cover is provided at the front end of the drive rod, and a mounting component is connected to its rear end. A third transmission rod is rotatably mounted with the mounting component. A first transmission rod and a second transmission rod are respectively hinged to both ends of the third transmission rod. The ends of the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod away from the third transmission rod are respectively rotatably mounted to the edges of the small gear and the large gear through pins. When the first motor drives the large gear to rotate, under the combined action of the second transmission rod, the first transmission rod, and the third transmission rod, the pressing head seat provided at the end of the drive rod is first stamped at high speed and then slowly pressed into place.

[0013] Preferably, the assembled roller body includes a mounting base fixed on the base frame, a roller seat rotatably mounted on the mounting base via a bearing seat, and a plurality of receiving grooves arranged in a ring on the roller seat. Each receiving groove has a rubber protrusion on its inner wall in the middle, and a through groove on the rear side of each receiving groove. The end of the bearing seat where the roller seat is located is equipped with a second ratchet adapted to the pawl. When the pawl moves back and forth to actuate the second ratchet, it can drive the roller seat to be fed intermittently in one direction.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting plate is further provided with a limiting ejection mechanism, which includes a mounting block. An electric telescopic rod is mounted downward on the mounting block. The actuating end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to a crossbar built into the roller seat. The lower surface of the crossbar is provided with a limiting protrusion that matches the through groove, which can be used for limiting the roller seat and ejecting the product after pressing.

[0015] Preferably, the belt feeding mechanism is assembled between the base frame and the support frame and is vertically distributed. The belt feeding mechanism has upper and lower transmission wheels and a transmission belt that is connected between the two sets of transmission wheels. The transmission belt has several limiting frames evenly distributed on it for limiting the assembly of several covers. The upper transmission wheel connecting shaft has a ratchet actuation assembly extending from its end. The ratchet actuation assembly has a first ratchet and a ratchet groove formed around the periphery of the first ratchet. The movable rod is connected to an installation strip on its outer side. The installation strip is vertically connected to a vertical rod and a horizontal bar that is horizontally connected to the top of the vertical rod. The end of the horizontal bar is hinged to a lever. The lever can be adapted to the ratchet groove and an elastic element is connected between the lever and the horizontal bar.

[0016] Preferably, the guide component is equipped with a stroke sensor. When the hook drives the assembly roller to move once and reaches the end of the stroke, an action signal can be triggered to control the operation of the first motor of the pressure head mechanism and the electric telescopic rod of the assembly roller.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] This invention integrates and precisely controls three actions—material feeding, pressing, and tooth shifting—through a single three-power drive disc mechanism. It achieves simultaneous pressing and feeding, and the shifting of the assembly rollers during reset. It also fully utilizes the internal space of the belt feeding mechanism, resulting in a compact overall structure and small footprint. The device integrates the palletizing and feeding of the connector body and the automatic rotation and output of finished products. Furthermore, the intermittent tooth shifting mechanism only triggers rotation after the pressing head mechanism and the material shifting rod mechanism have reset and moved away from the assembly rollers. This time-sharing drive design ensures smooth and coordinated operation of all mechanisms.

[0019] As another embodiment of the present invention, a pressure head mechanism is designed. Through the combination design of gears and connecting rods, the composite motion characteristics of "high-speed stamping followed by slow pressing" in the capping operation are realized. This allows the kinetic energy stored in the high-speed stamping stage to be released slowly in the pressing stage, which not only ensures the stamping pressure but also reduces the impact vibration on the frame and the workpiece.

[0020] With further modifications to the assembly roller body, the roller seat has several receiving grooves arranged in a ring, forming multiple ring-shaped workstations. When the roller seat rotates intermittently, it can simultaneously carry multiple connector bodies in different states such as "waiting to press", "pressing", and "pressing completed", realizing continuous assembly line operation.

[0021] The set limit ejection mechanism realizes a dual function: first, it mechanically locks the roller seat to prevent slight rotation caused by force during pressing, thus ensuring pressing accuracy; second, the extended limit protrusion can push out the connector product with the corresponding part pressed, realizing an automatic unloading process.

[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. The various embodiments of this invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 14The present invention preferably provides a technical solution: a connector cap assembly device, comprising: a machine body; a belt feeding mechanism disposed inside the machine body for transporting and feeding caps 223; a storage tray assembly disposed at the front end of the machine body for vertically stacking several connector bodies 312; and an assembly roller disposed on the machine body and positioned between the belt feeding mechanism and the storage tray assembly, serving as a pressing assembly site for the connectors and caps 223; and a three-power drive disc mechanism disposed in the middle of the machine body and positioned inside the belt feeding mechanism, wherein the actuating end of the three-power drive disc mechanism is sequentially provided with a feeding rod mechanism, a pressure head mechanism, and an intermittent feeding tooth mechanism, wherein... The feeding rod mechanism extends to the storage tray assembly and acts on the connector body 312. The pressure head mechanism acts on the inner side of the cover 223 on the belt feeding mechanism. The intermittent tooth-pulling mechanism acts on the end of the assembly roller for its prying rotation. When the three-power drive disc mechanism drives the pressure head mechanism to perform a pressing action on the cover 223, the feeding rod mechanism can push the connector body 312 into the assembly roller for a feeding action. The intermittent tooth-pulling mechanism does not trigger the assembly roller to run. When the pressure head mechanism and the feeding rod mechanism move away from the assembly roller and reset, the intermittent tooth-pulling mechanism triggers the assembly roller to pry once to perform the pressing of the connector body 312 at the next station.

[0049] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 7, a single three-power drive disc mechanism integrates and precisely controls the three actions of feeding, pressing, and tooth shifting. This enables simultaneous pressing and feeding, and the shifting of the assembly rollers during reset, optimizing the action flow and improving the compactness and efficiency of the assembly cycle.

[0050] This design arranges the three major functional modules of feeding, pressing, and toothing around the same power source three-power drive disc mechanism, and makes full use of the inner space of the belt feeding mechanism, so that the overall structure of the equipment is compact and occupies a small area. It integrates the palletizing and feeding of the connector body 312 and the automatic rotation and output of finished products. The intermittent toothing mechanism is only triggered to rotate after the pressure head mechanism and feeding rod mechanism are reset and away from the assembly roller. This time-sharing drive design ensures the smooth and coordinated operation of each mechanism.

[0051] Furthermore, the machine body includes a base frame 111, a support frame 112 mounted on the base frame 111, and a storage tray assembly fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the base frame 111 and positioned in front of the support frame 112. The storage tray assembly includes a storage box 311 and a roller at the bottom of the storage box 311. Several connector bodies 312 are stacked inside the storage box 311 above the roller. The connector bodies 312 at the bottom have opening slots 3111 corresponding to the positions of the storage box 311 for the entry of the feeding rod mechanism. A pressure plate 314 is provided on the upper surface of the connector bodies 312 at the top. A spring body 313 is provided between the pressure plate 314 and the top of the storage box 311.

[0052] The storage tray assembly is equipped with several connector bodies 312 arranged in a vertical stacking manner, such as... Figure 5 , 6 7. The spring body 313 set at the top, together with the pressure plate 314, applies a continuous downward pre-pressure to the stacked materials. When the bottom feeding rod mechanism pushes out the bottom connector body 312 through the preset storage box 311, the upper connector body 312 can fall smoothly and steadily to fill the gap under the assistance of gravity and the spring body 313, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the material supply.

[0053] Furthermore, the three-power drive disc mechanism includes a mounting plate 113 on a fixed base frame 111. A support seat 511 is horizontally mounted on the mounting plate 113. The support seat 511 is located in the middle of the belt feeding mechanism. Several horizontally arranged sliding rods 611 are mounted on the front side of the support seat 511, and a second sliding seat 612 and a first sliding seat 520, which can slide horizontally and are staggered front and back, are respectively mounted on the sliding rods 611. A second mounting seat 613 is fixed on the second sliding seat 612, and a pressure head mechanism is mounted on the second mounting seat 613. A first mounting seat 522 is fixed on the first sliding seat 520, and a material feeding rod mechanism is mounted on the first mounting seat 522. A deflectable first swing rod 515 is mounted on the support seat 511 through a first mounting shaft 514. A transmission column 516 is provided in the middle of the first swing rod 515, and a first mounting groove 5151 is opened on the first swing rod 515 and placed on both sides of the transmission column 516. The first mounting seat 522 and the corresponding first swing rod 515 are respectively connected by... A first connecting rod 517 is connected by a pin, and a second connecting rod 518 is connected to a second mounting base 613 and a first rocker arm 515 on the other side via pins. The system also includes a connecting shaft seat 513 rotatably mounted on a support base 511. One end of the connecting shaft seat 513 is connected to a turntable 721. The lower surface of the turntable 721 has a cam groove 512 adapted to the transmission column 516, and the other end of the connecting shaft seat 513 passes through the support base 511 and is connected to a second motor 722 at its bottom. One end of the support base 511... A second mounting shaft 719 is also provided at each corner. A second deflectable rocker arm 718 is mounted on the second mounting shaft 719. A third mounting groove 7181 is provided in the middle of the second rocker arm 718. The middle of the turntable 721 is located on the rotating shaft 7211. The rotating shaft 7211 and the third mounting groove 7181 are respectively connected by a transmission connector 723 through a pin. An end piece 720 is also fixed to the end of the second rocker arm 718 away from the second mounting shaft 719. An intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism is connected to the end of the end piece 720.

[0054] The three functions of pressing, material feeding, and tooth feeding are integrated into the support base 511 through the further provided three-power drive disc mechanism, such as Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4, 7, 10, 11, and 12, the second sliding seat 612 and the first sliding seat 520, which are staggered on the slide rod 611, work in conjunction with the deflectable first swing rod 515. Furthermore, since the first mounting seat 522 is connected to the first connecting rod 517 via a pin and linked to the first swing rod 515 on one side, and the second mounting seat 613 is connected to the second connecting rod 518 via a pin and linked to the first swing rod 515 on the other side, it is ensured that the actions of the pressure head mechanism and the feeding rod mechanism are both synchronized and staggered.

[0055] Specifically, the deflection of the first lever 515 can be driven by the turntable 721, such as... Figure 7 , 10 As shown in Figures 11 and 12, when the second motor 722 operates and drives the turntable 721 to rotate, on the one hand, under the action of the rotating shaft 7211 and the transmission connecting member 723, the second rocker arm 718 can be deflected to drive the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism to run. On the other hand, under the action of the cam groove 512 provided on the lower surface of the turntable 721, due to the eccentric setting of the cam groove 512 and the limiting transmission with the transmission column 516, when the turntable 721 rotates, it can further drive the first rocker arm 515 to deflect around the first mounting shaft 514, thereby correspondingly driving the second sliding seat 612 and the first sliding seat 520 on the slide rod 611 to move forward and backward in a misaligned manner.

[0056] When the pressure head mechanism on the second sliding seat 612 moves toward the assembly roller to perform the pressing action, the feeding rod mechanism connected to the first sliding seat 520 also moves toward the assembly roller to store the material tray assembly connector body 312. At this time, the intermittent tooth-feeding mechanism is in the reset path away from the assembly roller. When the two move away from the assembly roller to reset, the intermittent tooth-feeding mechanism approaches the assembly roller and drives it to feed once.

[0057] That is, the intermittent tooth-shifting machine is not triggered when the pressure head mechanism and the material shifting rod mechanism are in the working position; only when the two have completed their work and moved away from the assembly roller to reset, the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism is driven to move through the linkage between the third mounting groove 7181 and the transmission connecting part 723. This design of "not rotating during operation and shifting only during reset" fundamentally eliminates motion interference, ensures the station is stationary during rotation, and creates conditions for pressing.

[0058] Compared to complex gear or cam mechanisms, the aforementioned transmission method offers advantages such as smaller transmission backlash, faster response speed, and more reliable operation. In particular, the matching design between the cam groove 512 and the transmission column 516 ensures smooth and precise power transmission.

[0059] Furthermore, the feeding lever mechanism includes a connecting frame 811 fixed on the first mounting base 522 and arranged laterally. The connecting frame 811 extends to the front side of the storage tray assembly and is provided with a push block 812. The push block 812 can act on the opening slot 3111 position to push out the connector body 312 and enter the assembly roller body.

[0060] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 9, through a further designed push bar mechanism, when the first assembly seat 522 drives the connecting frame 811 to move closer to the assembly roller, the push block 812 can pass through the opening slot 3111 and act with the connector body 312 to push it into the assembly roller. When the push block 812 is reset, the connector body 312 located on the upper layer of the storage box 311 moves down, so that the next feeding can be realized.

[0061] Furthermore, the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism includes a connecting seat 713 fixed on the mounting plate 113. The end of the connecting seat 713 is equipped with a guide member 714 and a movable rod 716 that is laterally mounted to the guide member 714 and can slide horizontally. A hook 711 is hinged to the end of the movable rod 716 near the assembly roller. An elastic pressure strip 712 for pressing the hook 711 is also provided on the guide member 714. A connecting rod 717 is hinged to the end of the movable rod 716 near the second swing rod 718. The end of the connecting rod 717 away from the mounting strip 715 is hinged to the end member 720.

[0062] By setting an intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism, such as Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, when the turntable 721 rotates, due to the transmission connector 723 connecting the rotating shaft 7211 and the second rocker arm 718, when the turntable 721 drives the rotating shaft 7211 to rotate, it can drive the second rocker arm 718 to swing around the second mounting shaft 719. Under the transmission action of the end piece 720, the connecting rod 717 and the movable rod 716, it can drive the pawl 711 to move relative to the second ratchet 411. When the pawl 711 moves towards the guide piece 714, under the elastic force of the elastic pressure strip 712, it presses down and acts on the groove of the second ratchet 411, which can almost push the second ratchet 411 to feed once. When the pawl 711 moves away from the guide piece 714, the pawl 711 disengages from the groove of the second ratchet 411, and at this time the second ratchet 411 remains stationary.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] In another embodiment of the present invention, the pressing head mechanism includes a large gear 616 and a small gear 617 rotatably mounted on a second mounting base 613 and meshing with each other. The diameter of the large gear 616 is larger than the diameter of the small gear 617. A first motor 614 is provided inside the second mounting base 613, and the output shaft of the first motor 614 is fixedly connected to the large gear 616. A mounting sleeve 623 is used to fix the front end of the second mounting base 613. A drive rod 622 that can extend and retract back and forth is installed inside the mounting sleeve 623. A pressing head seat 624 for pressing the cover is provided at the front end of the drive rod 622, and a mounting member 621 is connected to its rear end. The third transmission rod 620 is rotatably mounted to the mounting component 621. The two ends of the third transmission rod 620 are respectively hinged to the first transmission rod 618 and the second transmission rod 619. The ends of the first transmission rod 618 and the second transmission rod 619 away from the third transmission rod 620 are respectively rotatably mounted to the edges of the small gear 617 and the large gear 616 through pins. When the first motor 614 drives the large gear 616 to rotate, under the combined action of the second transmission rod 619, the first transmission rod 618 and the third transmission rod 620, the pressure head seat 624 set at the end of the drive rod 622 is first stamped at high speed and then slowly pressed into place.

[0065] In this embodiment, a pressure head mechanism is designed. Through the combination design of gears and connecting rods, the composite motion characteristics of "high-speed stamping followed by slow pressing" in the capping operation are realized. The rotational motion of the large gear 616 and the small gear 617 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the drive rod 622 through the linkage of gears and connecting rods. During the pressing stage, the speed is naturally reduced by utilizing the gear ratio and the geometric relationship of the connecting rods. This allows the kinetic energy stored in the high-speed stamping stage to be released slowly during the pressing stage, which not only ensures the stamping pressure but also reduces the impact vibration on the frame and the workpiece.

[0066] It is worth noting that the gear ratio, connecting rod length, and installation position can all be adaptively adjusted according to different gland stroke, speed, and force requirements.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 13 As shown, by utilizing the fixed transmission ratio of the large gear 616 and the small gear 617, and in conjunction with the first transmission rod 618, the second transmission rod 619 and the third transmission rod 620 of the double connecting rod, the pressure head seat 624 can achieve high speed first and then low speed within one working cycle. Through the smooth pressing at the end low speed, the workpiece damage or poor sealing caused by impact is effectively avoided, thus improving the quality and consistency of the pressure cap.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, the assembled roller body includes a mounting base 412 fixed on the base frame 111. A roller seat 413 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 412 via a bearing 420. A plurality of receiving grooves 414 are provided in a ring on the roller seat 413. Each receiving groove 414 has a rubber protrusion 415 on its inner wall in the middle and a through groove 4131 on the rear side of each receiving groove 414. A second ratchet 411 adapted to the pawl 711 is mounted at the end of the bearing 420 where the roller seat 413 is located. When the pawl 711 moves back and forth to move the second ratchet 411, it can drive the roller seat 413 to be fed intermittently in one direction.

[0070] In this embodiment, through further configuration of the assembly rollers, such as... Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the roller seat 413 has several receiving grooves 414 arranged in a ring to form multiple annular workstations. When the roller seat 413 rotates intermittently, it can simultaneously carry multiple connector bodies 312 in different states such as "awaiting pressing", "pressing in progress", and "pressing completed", realizing continuous assembly line operation.

[0071] Secondly, each receiving groove 414 has a rubber protrusion 415 on its inner wall. When the connector body 312 is pushed into the receiving groove 414, the rubber protrusion 415 applies a gentle radial clamping force to it by means of elastic deformation, so as to ensure the stability of the workpiece position during the rotation and pressing of the roller.

[0072] When the three-power drive disc mechanism resets, the intermittent tooth-shifting mechanism drives the pawl 711 to move back and forth, thereby actuating the second ratchet 411 and driving the roller seat 413 to feed intermittently in one direction around the shaft seat 420. This drive method is matched with the overall timing to ensure that the rotation angle is accurate each time, so that the receiving groove 414 can accurately stop at the pressing station and the loading station.

[0073] Furthermore, the mounting plate 113 is also provided with a limiting ejection mechanism, which includes a mounting block 911. An electric telescopic rod 912 is mounted downward on the mounting block 911. The actuating end of the electric telescopic rod 912 is connected to a crossbar 913 built into the roller seat 413. The lower surface of the crossbar 913 is provided with a limiting protrusion 914 that is adapted to the through groove 4131, which can be used for limiting the roller seat 413 and ejecting the product after pressing.

[0074] like Figure 9As shown, a height-adjustable limiting protrusion 914 is provided inside the roller seat 413. When the roller seat 413 rotates to the correct position and stops, the electric telescopic rod 912 drives the crossbar 913 downward, causing the limiting protrusion 914 on the lower surface to extend into the through groove 4131 and continue downward. This design achieves a dual function: first, it mechanically locks the roller seat 413 to prevent slight rotation due to force during pressing, ensuring pressing accuracy; second, the extended limiting protrusion 914 can push out the connector product with the corresponding part pressed, realizing an automatic unloading process.

[0075] This design integrates the station limiting and product ejection functions into the same set of lifting drive components: electric telescopic rod 912, crossbar 913, and limiting protrusion 914. This eliminates the need for a separate ejection mechanism, simplifies the equipment structure, reduces the number of power sources, and achieves precise positioning, stable bearing, and automatic unloading of the connector body 312 during the pressing process through the ingenious design of multi-station layout, flexible clamping, intermittent drive, and integrated limiting ejection. This provides a key guarantee for the efficient operation of the entire machine.

[0076] Example 4

[0077] In another embodiment of the present invention, the belt feeding mechanism is assembled between the base frame 111 and the support frame 112 and is vertically distributed. The belt feeding mechanism has upper and lower transmission wheels 226 and a transmission belt 221 that is connected between the two sets of transmission wheels 226. A plurality of limiting frames 222 are evenly distributed on the transmission belt 221 for limiting the assembly of a plurality of covers 223. A ratchet actuation assembly extends from the end of the connecting shaft of the upper transmission wheel 226. The ratchet actuation assembly has a first ratchet 211 and a ratchet groove 216 formed around the first ratchet 211. An installation strip 715 is connected to the outside of the movable rod 716. A vertical rod 213 is vertically connected to the installation strip 715 and a horizontal bar 212 that is horizontally connected to the top of the vertical rod 213. A lever 214 is hinged to the end of the horizontal bar 212. The lever 214 can be adapted to the ratchet groove 216. An elastic member 215 is connected between the lever 214 and the horizontal bar 212.

[0078] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 7, the belt feeding mechanism is vertically mounted between the base frame 111 and the support frame 112, and uses two sets of upper and lower transmission wheels 226 in conjunction with the transmission belt 221 to form a vertical circulating conveying path. This vertical layout makes full use of the space in the height direction of the equipment, reduces the horizontal footprint, and makes the overall structure more compact; and several limiting frames 222 are evenly distributed on the transmission belt 221 for limiting the assembly of the cover 223. A ratchet actuation assembly is provided at the end of the upper transmission wheel 226. Through the ratchet groove 216 opened around the first ratchet 211, it cooperates with the actuation block 214 to realize the unidirectional intermittent feeding of the conveyor belt.

[0079] This driving method is matched with the action of the three-power drive disc mechanism. When the pressure head seat 624 completes one pressing and reset, the ratchet actuation component is triggered to actuate once, that is, the corresponding horizontal bar 212 drives the actuation block 214 to move horizontally towards the first ratchet 211 once. At this time, when the actuation block 214 acts with the ratchet groove 216 where the first ratchet 211 is located, the first ratchet 211 can be actuated to feed in one direction once, which correspondingly drives the transmission belt 221 to advance to one station, realizing one loading of the cover 223, ensuring "press one, feed one";

[0080] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 14 As shown, the lever 214 is hinged to the end of the crossbar 212 and is kept in contact with the lever 214 by the elasticity of the elastic element 215. When the lever 214 extends forward into the ratchet groove 216, it pushes the first ratchet 211 to move forward for feeding. When the crossbar 212 returns to its original position, the lever 214 disengages from the ratchet groove 216 and returns to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic element 215. This prevents the ratchet from reversing, ensuring that the feeding can only be done intermittently in one direction.

[0081] Example 5

[0082] In another embodiment of the present invention, a stroke sensor is provided in the guide member 714. When the hook 711 drives the assembly roller to move once and reaches the end of the stroke, an action signal can be triggered to control the operation of the first motor 614 where the pressure head mechanism is located and the electric telescopic rod 912 where the assembly roller is located.

[0083] In this embodiment, a stroke sensor is provided inside the guide member 714, such as... Figure 8 As shown, when the movable rod 716 drives the assembly roller to move once and run to the end of the stroke, the stroke sensor is triggered and sends an action signal. This signal is transmitted to the first motor 614 of the pressure head mechanism and the electric telescopic rod 912 of the assembly roller. This closed-loop control design enables the equipment to achieve synchronous execution of the pressing action and the limit of the roller seat 413 after the roller seat 413 is rotated into place.

[0084] By using position detection and signal triggering by the stroke sensor, it is ensured that the pressure head mechanism and the limit ejection mechanism only start working after the assembly roller body has been fully rotated into place and stopped, reducing motion interference accidents such as "pressing before the roller seat 413 has come to a complete stop" or "rotation before pressing is completed".

[0085] The stroke sensor triggers a signal that simultaneously controls the operation of the pressing head mechanism and the limiting ejection mechanism. On the one hand, the horizontal bar 913 of the limiting ejection mechanism moves down to lock the roller seat 413, creating stable conditions for the cap. On the other hand, the pressing head mechanism moves closer to the roller seat 413 to complete the pressing action of the cap 223.

[0086] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Detachable installation can take many forms, such as through a combination of plug-in and snap-fit ​​connections, or through bolted connections, etc.

[0087] The above embodiments, which describe the specific features of the present invention, are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-essential improvements and adjustments made to the present invention by those skilled in the art based on the above description of the invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
