Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector assembly technology, and in particular to an assembly line for a pluggable connector. Background Technology

[0002] The connector assembly of this technology involves installing the solder ring 200, the first pin core 300, the second pin core 400, and the RP terminal 500 within the connector housing 100. Currently, there is no corresponding installation equipment in the existing technology, and assembly is carried out manually, resulting in low assembly efficiency and low precision.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an assembly line for pluggable connectors that is simple in structure and efficient and reliable in assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an assembly line for a pluggable connector. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An assembly line for a pluggable connector includes a solder ring, a first pin core, a second pin core, and an RP terminal, which are installed in a connector housing to obtain a pluggable connector. The line comprises a vibratory feeder, a solder ring assembly mechanism, a first pin core assembly mechanism, a second pin core assembly mechanism, an RP terminal assembly mechanism, a cleaning and inspection mechanism, and a packaging mechanism, arranged sequentially along the assembly line. A first pin core feeding mechanism is connected to the first pin core assembly mechanism, and a second pin core feeding mechanism is connected to the second pin core assembly mechanism. The vibratory feeder feeds the connector housing, and the solder ring assembly mechanism installs the solder ring onto the connector housing. The first pin core feeding mechanism feeds the first pin core, and the second pin core feeding mechanism feeds the second pin core, which are then assembled by the first and second pin core assembly mechanisms. The RP terminal assembly mechanism feeds and installs the RP terminal. The cleaning and inspection mechanism cleans and inspects the assembled pluggable connector, and the packaging mechanism packages it.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention comprises a vibratory feeder, a solder ring assembly mechanism, a first pin core assembly mechanism, a second pin core assembly mechanism, an RP terminal assembly mechanism, a cleaning and inspection mechanism, a packaging mechanism, a first pin core feeding mechanism, and a second pin core feeding mechanism. The vibratory feeder feeds the connector housing, and the solder ring assembly mechanism installs the solder ring onto the connector housing. Furthermore, the first pin core feeding mechanism feeds the first pin core, which is then assembled by the first pin core assembly mechanism. Similarly, the second pin core feeding mechanism feeds the second pin core, which is then assembled by the second pin core assembly mechanism. Finally, the RP terminal assembly mechanism feeds and installs the RP terminals, and the cleaning and inspection mechanism cleans the assembled pluggable connector, ensuring assembly reliability.

[0006] This invention comprises a connector housing feeding channel, a welding ring feeding and cutting mechanism, an iron ring transport module, a first PP transport module, a Holder carrier mechanism, a final pressure detection module, and a connector housing discharging module. The connector housing feeding channel is connected to a vibratory feeder and receives connector housings. The first PP transport module transports the connector housings from the feeding channel to the Holder carrier mechanism. The welding ring feeding and cutting mechanism feeds the welding rings, which are then transported by the iron ring transport module to the connector housing on the Holder carrier mechanism. The final pressure detection module presses the welding rings and connector housings to obtain a connector housing containing the welding rings. The connector housing discharging module transports the connector housing containing the welding rings to a first pin core assembly mechanism.

[0007] This invention comprises a first pin core feeding mechanism, a first pin core assembly mechanism, a second pin core feeding mechanism, and a second pin core assembly mechanism. Within the first pin core feeding mechanism, there are an upper tray sharing module, a first gantry transport mechanism, a pin core feeding and cleaning mechanism, and a pin core transfer module. The upper tray sharing module feeds the first pin core, which is then transported by the first gantry transport mechanism. The first gantry transport mechanism transfers the first pin core to the pin core transfer module, where it is cleaned by the pin core feeding and cleaning mechanism. Within the first pin core assembly mechanism, there are a material picking and stacking module, a pin core assembly module, and a first HSG feeding module. The material picking and stacking module receives the first pin core from the first pin core feeding mechanism. The pin core assembly module installs the first pin core into a connector housing containing a solder ring.

[0008] The RP terminal assembly mechanism of this invention includes a second HSG feeding module, an RP terminal feeding tray, an RP cutting and pre-insertion module, a transfer and final pressing module, and a fourth discharge and conveying mechanism. The RP cutting and pre-insertion module cuts the RP terminal strip from the feeding tray, and the transfer and final pressing module presses the cut RP terminals into the connector housing. The fourth discharge and conveying mechanism then transports the assembled pluggable connector. In summary, this invention has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency and reliable assembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 31As shown, this embodiment provides an assembly line for a pluggable connector, which installs a solder ring 200, a first pin core 300, a second pin core 400, and an RP terminal 500 within a connector housing 100 to obtain a pluggable connector. Here, the assembly line for the pluggable connector includes a vibratory feeder 9, a solder ring assembly mechanism 1, a first pin core assembly mechanism 4, a second pin core assembly mechanism 5, an RP terminal assembly mechanism 6, a cleaning and inspection mechanism 7, and a packaging mechanism 8 arranged sequentially along the assembly line. A first pin core feeding mechanism 2 is connected to the first pin core assembly mechanism 4, and a second pin core feeding mechanism 3 is connected to the second pin core assembly mechanism 5. The process involves several steps: First, a vibratory feeder 9 feeds the connector base 100, and a welding ring assembly mechanism 1 installs the welding ring 200 onto the connector base 100. Second, a first pin core feeding mechanism 2 feeds the first pin core 300, and a second pin core feeding mechanism 3 feeds the second pin core 400, which are then assembled by the first pin core assembly mechanism 4 and the second pin core assembly mechanism 5. Third, an RP terminal assembly mechanism 6 feeds and installs the RP terminal 500. Finally, a cleaning and inspection mechanism 7 cleans and inspects the assembled pluggable connector, and a packaging mechanism 8 packages it.

[0044] Here, the welding ring assembly mechanism 1 includes a welding ring assembly machine worktable, and on the welding ring assembly machine worktable are a connector seat feeding channel 11, a welding ring feeding and cutting mechanism 12, an iron ring conveying module 13, a first PP conveying module 14, a Holder carrier mechanism 15, a final pressure detection module 16, and a connector seat discharging module 17. The connector seat feeding channel 11 is connected to the vibratory feeder 9 and receives the connector seats 100. The first PP conveying module 14 transports the connector seats 100 in the connector seat feeding channel 11 to the Holder carrier mechanism 15. Simultaneously, the welding ring feeding and cutting mechanism 12 feeds the welding rings 200, which are then transported by the iron ring conveying module 13 to the connector seats 100 on the Holder carrier mechanism 15. The final pressure detection module 16 presses the welding rings 200 and the connector seats 100 to obtain a connector seat 100 containing the welding rings 200. The connector socket unloading module 17 transports the connector socket 100 with the welding ring 200 to the first pin core assembly mechanism 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the welding ring feeding and cutting mechanism 12 includes a feeding rack 121 that holds and feeds the welding ring material strip, a feeding cleaning mechanism 122, a first flow channel 123, a welding ring cutting module 124, and a first waste cutting module 125, all mounted on the welding ring assembly machine workbench. The first flow channel 123 transports the welding ring material strip fed from the feeding rack 121 and cleans it using the feeding cleaning mechanism 122. After cleaning, the welding ring cutting module 124 cuts the welding ring material strip to obtain welding rings 200, and the first waste cutting module 125 cuts the welding ring material strip (waste) from which the welding rings 200 are cut off, placing the waste into a waste box.

[0046] Additionally, the iron ring handling module 13 includes a second mounting frame 131 and a slot box 135 mounted on the worktable of the welding ring assembly machine, a second lateral moving component 132 mounted on the second mounting frame 131, a first longitudinal moving component 133 mounted on the second lateral moving component 132, and an upper and lower assembly nozzle assembly 134 mounted at the bottom of the first longitudinal moving component 133. The second lateral moving component 132, the first longitudinal moving component 133, and the upper and lower assembly nozzle assembly 134 handle the welding rings 200 cut by the welding ring cutting module 124. Finally, they are placed in the connector seat 100 on the Holder carrier mechanism 15.

[0047] Here, the first PP handling module 14 includes a first mounting frame 141 disposed on the workbench of the welding ring assembly machine, a first transverse slide rail assembly 142 and a first motor 143 disposed on the first mounting frame 141, a PP transfer mounting plate 145 disposed on the first transverse slide rail assembly 142, a first reciprocating drive mechanism 144 disposed between the first mounting frame 141 and the PP transfer mounting plate 145 and connected to the first motor 143, and a PP transfer clamp 146 disposed on the PP transfer mounting plate 145 and for handling the connector seat 100.

Specifically, the first PP transport module 14 transports the connector seat 100 from the connector seat loading channel 11 to the first carrier 151, where it is cleaned by the second cleaning mechanism 152; the first PP transport module 14 then transports the cleaned connector seat 100 to the welding ring final bearing seat 154; additionally, the iron ring transport module 13 transports the welding ring 200 into the connector seat 100 on the welding ring final bearing seat 154.

[0049] After the solder ring 200 is placed into the connector socket 100, it is pressed using the final pressure detection module 16. The final pressure detection module 16 includes a solder ring final pressure support 161, a solder ring final pressure mechanism 162, and a first CCD detection module 163, all mounted on the solder ring assembly machine worktable. The solder ring final pressure support 161 and the solder ring final pressure mechanism 162 press the connector socket 100 and the solder ring 200 on the solder ring final pressure carrier 154 to obtain a connector socket 100 containing the solder ring 200. After the solder ring 200 is installed, it is transported to the first pin core assembly mechanism 4 using the connector socket ejection module 17. The connector socket ejection module 17 includes a connector socket ejection shifting module 171 and a connector socket ejection transport module 172, both mounted on the solder ring assembly machine worktable. The connector socket ejection transport module 172 transports the connector socket 100 containing the solder ring 200 to the first pin core assembly mechanism 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first pin core feeding mechanism 2 feeds two first pin cores 300, and the second pin core feeding mechanism 3 feeds two second pin cores 400. The first pin core assembly mechanism 4 installs the two first pin cores 300 into the connector socket 100, and the second pin core assembly mechanism 5 installs the two second pin cores 400 into the connector socket 100. Here, the first pin cores 300 and the second pin cores 400 differ only in size; the first pin core feeding mechanism 2 and the second pin core feeding mechanism 3 have the same structure, and the first pin core assembly mechanism 4 and the second pin core assembly mechanism 5 have the same structure.

[0051] Taking the first pin core loading mechanism 2 as an example, it includes a second workbench 21, an upper pallet sharing module 22, a first gantry transport mechanism 23, a pin core loading and cleaning mechanism 24, and a pin core transfer module 25, all mounted on the second workbench 21. Here, the upper pallet sharing module 22 loads the first pin core 300, which is then transported by the first gantry transport mechanism 23. The first gantry transport mechanism 23 transfers the first pin core 300 to the pin core transfer module 25, where it is cleaned by the pin core loading and cleaning mechanism 24.

[0052] Specifically, the upper pallet sharing module 22 includes a pin core loading pallet assembly 221 and a pallet loading mechanism 222 mounted on the second workbench 21. The pallet loading mechanism 222 includes a pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2226 and a stacking mechanism 2223 fixed on the second workbench 21, a first conveyor belt 2221 mounted on the pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2226, and a push-pull plate mechanism 2222, a plate-splitting mechanism 2224, and a pallet positioning mechanism 222 mounted on the first conveyor belt 2221. Here, the first gantry conveying mechanism 23 includes a second gantry loading module 231 mounted on the second workbench 21, and a second gripper 232 mounted on the second gantry loading module 231. The second gripper 232 clamps the first pin core 300. The pin core transfer module 25 of this embodiment includes a first product transfer module 251 disposed on a second workbench 21, and a pin core transport carrier 252 disposed on the first product transfer module 251. The first pin core 300 to be assembled is disposed on the pin core transport carrier 252.

[0053] In addition, the first pin core assembly mechanism 4 includes a pin core assembly worktable, and a material picking and stacking module 41, a pin core assembly module 42, and a first HSG feeding module 43 disposed on the pin core assembly worktable. The material picking and stacking module 41 receives the first pin core 300 from the first pin core feeding mechanism 2; the first HSG feeding module 43 receives the connector seat 100 containing the welding ring 200; and the pin core assembly module 42 installs the first pin core 300 into the connector seat 100 containing the welding ring 200.

[0054] Specifically, the material handling and stacking module 41 includes a material handling and assembly module 411 and a pre-storage and assembly module 412, both mounted on the pin core assembly worktable. The pre-storage and assembly module 412 includes a pin core pre-storage module 4121 and a pin core assembly loading module 41222, both mounted on the pin core assembly worktable. Furthermore, the pin core assembly module 42 includes a pin core translation component 421, an assembly rotation module 422, and a pin core assembly module 423, all mounted on the pin core assembly worktable. The pin core translation component 421 translates the first pin core 300 on the material handling and stacking module 41. The assembly rotation module 422 includes a third translation sliding module 4221 mounted on the pin core assembly worktable, and a translation rotation module 4222 mounted on the third translation sliding module 4221.

[0055] The pin core assembly module 423 of this embodiment includes a pin core assembly moving mechanism 4231 disposed on a pin core assembly worktable, and a pin core assembly pressing and positioning mechanism 4232 disposed on the pin core assembly moving mechanism 4231. The pin core assembly moving mechanism 4231 and the pin core assembly pressing and positioning mechanism 4232 press the first pin core 300 into the connector seat 100 containing the welding ring 200.

[0056] After the first pin core 300 and the second pin core 400 are installed, the RP terminal 500 can be installed. Here, the RP terminal assembly mechanism 6 includes an RP terminal assembly platform, a second HSG feeding module 61, an RP terminal feeding tray 62, an RP cutting and pre-insertion module 63, a transfer and final pressing module 64, and a fourth discharge and conveying mechanism 65, all mounted on the RP terminal assembly platform. The second HSG feeding module 61 receives the connector housing 100 containing the welding ring 200, the first pin core 300, and the second pin core 400. RP terminal strip is wound onto the RP terminal feeding tray 62. Simultaneously, the RP cutting and pre-insertion module 63 cuts the RP terminal strip from the RP terminal feeding tray 62, and the transfer and final pressing module 64 presses the cut RP terminal 500 into the connector housing 100. The fourth discharge and conveying mechanism 65 then transports the assembled pluggable connector.

[0057] Specifically, the RP cutting and pre-insertion module 63 includes an RP cutting module 631 and a PP transport pre-insertion module 632 mounted on the RP terminal assembly platform. The RP cutting module 631 includes an RP cutting base 6311 mounted on the RP terminal assembly platform, an RP cutting execution module 6312 mounted on the RP cutting base 6311, and an RP terminal feeding channel 6313 mounted on the RP cutting execution module 6312. The RP terminal feeding channel 6313 receives the RP terminal feeding tray 62, and the RP cutting execution module 6312 cuts the RP terminals to obtain the RP terminals 500.

[0058] The RP cutting execution module 6312 of this embodiment includes a cutting advance sliding module 63121 and a cutting cutter base 63122 disposed on the RP cutting base 6311, a cutting fixed cutter 63123 and a sliding moving track 63125 disposed on the cutting cutter base 63122, a cutting movable cutter 63127 sleeved on the sliding moving track 63125, a cutting movable cutter linkage seat 63126 disposed on the cutting movable cutter 63127, and a push linkage seat 63124 disposed on the cutting advance sliding module 63121 and linked to the cutting movable cutter linkage seat 63126. The cutting advance sliding module 63121 drives the cutting movable cutter 63127 to move closer to the cutting fixed cutter 63123, and cuts the RP terminal strip.

[0059] The intermediate pressing module 64 in this embodiment includes an intermediate clamping mechanism 641 and an RP terminal pressing module 642 disposed on the RP terminal assembly platform. The intermediate clamping mechanism 641 transports the connector socket 100, and the RP terminal pressing module 642 presses the RP terminal 500 into the connector socket 100. Since there are two RP terminals 500, two sets of RP cutting and pre-insertion modules 63 are also provided, with each RP cutting and pre-insertion module 63 handling one RP terminal 500. The intermediate clamping mechanism 641 transports the connector socket 100 between the two RP cutting and pre-insertion modules 63. Finally, the fourth unloading and transporting mechanism 65 in this embodiment includes a KK transporting module 651 and an intermediate transporting module 652 disposed on the RP terminal assembly platform.

[0060] Here, the PP transport pre-insertion module 632 includes a fourth mounting bracket 6321 disposed on the RP terminal assembly platform, a second reciprocating drive mechanism 6322 disposed on the fourth mounting bracket 6321, and an RP terminal transfer gripper assembly 6323 disposed on the second reciprocating drive mechanism 6322; the RP terminal transfer gripper assembly 6323 inserts the RP terminal 500 into the connector socket 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second reciprocating drive mechanism 6322 has a similar structure to the first reciprocating drive mechanism 144. Taking the second reciprocating drive mechanism 6322 as an example, it includes a vertical plate 632201 fixed on the fourth mounting bracket 6321, a fifth transverse slide rail 632202, a second motor 632204, and a swing guide plate 632209 disposed on the vertical plate 632201, and a fifth slider 632203 slidably sleeved on the fifth transverse slide rail 632202. The system comprises a longitudinal slide rail 632205 and a longitudinal support beam 632206 connected by component 203; a longitudinal strip groove 632207 formed on the longitudinal support beam 632206; a transverse linkage beam 632208 fixed on the longitudinal slide rail 632205; a U-shaped swing guide groove 632210 formed on the swing guide plate 632209; and a swing drive linkage plate 632211, whose lower part is connected to the second motor 632204 and whose upper part is linked to the transverse linkage beam 632208. A roller is provided on the swing drive linkage plate 632211, which is fitted inside the swing guide groove 632210. In use, the second motor 632204 drives the swing drive linkage plate 632211 to swing, and the roller slides along the swing guide groove 632210, causing the longitudinal slide rail 632205 to reciprocate along the direction of the swing guide groove 632210.
