Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of 3C electronics and hardware / plastic accessories technology, specifically to a pneumatic pressure cap fixture for SMB 90° elbows. Background Technology

[0002] SMB 90° elbow connectors are widely used in RF communication equipment, testing instruments, and various electronic products. Their compact structure requires high precision in the end cap pressing. During assembly, the end caps need to be accurately pressed into their corresponding positions on the connector body to ensure electrical performance and structural stability. Therefore, in manufacturing, specialized tooling or equipment is typically used for end cap pressing to improve assembly efficiency and ensure product consistency. In this field, the assembly of SMB elbow products is gradually shifting from simple manual operation to semi-mechanized assembly.

[0003] In existing technologies, a manual crimping machine combined with a simple positioning fixture is typically used to complete the end cap pressing operation. Its basic structure includes a frame, a manual pressing lever mechanism, and a product placement platform. During operation, the operator places the SMB 90° elbow to be assembled into the fixture, uses the positioning structure to initially limit the product's position, then places the end cap in the corresponding position. The lever transmission mechanism of the manual crimping machine drives the pressing head downwards, applying pressure to the end cap and pressing it into the product to complete the assembly. This type of structure relies on mechanical transmission to amplify force, and is characterized by its simple structure and low cost, making it somewhat applicable in small-batch production.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technology still has certain shortcomings in practical use. During the pressing process, it primarily relies on operators manually operating the press machine, controlling the pressing position based on experience and feel. Due to differences in operating habits and force applied by different operators, it is difficult to maintain a stable and consistent downward pressure and pressing stroke during continuous operation, easily leading to deviations in the pressing depth of the end cap. Furthermore, uneven force during pressing may cause the end cap to tilt slightly or experience excessive localized force, thus affecting its fit with the product body. These issues are more pronounced in mass production, making it difficult to effectively guarantee the consistency and stability of product assembly quality, and consequently impacting subsequent performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an SMB90° elbow pneumatic cap pressing fixture, which solves the problems of inconsistent pressing depth and uneven product stress leading to unstable pressing quality caused by relying on manual pressing machines to press end caps and controlling the pressing position by human touch.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an SMB 90° elbow pneumatic pressure cap fixture, comprising a base plate, a body fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate, and a pressing assembly fixedly connected inside the body. The pressing assembly is used to apply stable downward pressure to the end cap after it is placed in position, thereby ensuring a firm assembly between the end cap and the product and improving the product assembly quality and stability. A feeder is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a positioning assembly is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate. The positioning assembly is used to support and accurately position the product to be assembled before the assembly operation begins.

A second cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixing block. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the output end of the second cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning component includes a first fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. An electric slide rail is fixedly connected to the outside of the first fixing block, and a slider is slidably connected to the outside of the electric slide rail. A loading platform is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the loading platform. The connecting block is slidably connected to the inside of the first fixing block, and a sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block. A first limiting rod is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding block, and both ends of the first limiting rod are fixedly connected to the inside of the first fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, a display screen is fixedly connected to the outside of the machine body, and a negative pressure device is fixedly connected to the outside of the machine body.

[0010] Preferably, a start button and an emergency stop button are fixedly connected to the outside of the machine body.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the machine body, and the second fixing block is slidably connected to the outer side of the second limiting rod.

[0016] This invention provides a pneumatic pressure cap fixture for SMB 90° elbows. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention uses a pressing assembly consisting of a first cylinder and a second cylinder, combined with the guiding and supporting functions of the second limiting rod and the connecting plate, to make the movement of the pressing head more stable during the pressing process. This allows for the application of uniform and controllable downward pressure to the end cap, effectively avoiding the pressing deviation problem caused by uneven force during traditional manual pressing. This improves the firmness of the end cap pressing and the consistency of the pressing depth, thereby enhancing the overall assembly quality and stability.

[0017] 2. By setting up a positioning component and an electric slide rail structure, the present invention can stably support and accurately position the SMB90° elbow during the product loading process. The slider drives the loading platform to move smoothly, and the first limit rod guides and limits the movement, effectively preventing the product from deviating or shaking during the movement and positioning process. This improves the positional accuracy of the product when it enters the pressing station and provides a reliable foundation for subsequent pressing operations.

[0018] 3. This invention achieves orderly feeding and precise placement of end caps by setting up a cooperative structure of feeder and vacuum suction device, reducing manual intervention. At the same time, in conjunction with the pneumatic control and operation buttons of the whole machine, it realizes continuous operation of the pressing process, which not only reduces the labor intensity of operators, but also improves production efficiency and product consistency, and is suitable for mass production needs.

[0030] Working principle: When an SMB90° elbow pneumatic pressure cap fixture is needed, the operator first places the product to be pressed on the loading platform 504. At this time, the electric slide rail 502 drives the slider 503 to move the loading platform 504 and the product above it along the set direction. At the same time, the connecting block 505 and the sliding block 506 cooperate and slide inside the first fixed block 501, and maintain stable movement under the guidance and limiting action of the first limit rod 507, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the product during the movement and positioning process. The positioning block 17 positions the product, so that the product moves to the pressing position. Subsequently, the feeder 3 feeds the end cap, and the vacuum pump 13 uses the vacuum suction device 14 to adsorb the end cap and place it in the corresponding installation position of the product. After the end cap is placed, the pressing assembly 6 starts to work. The first cylinder 601 drives the second fixing block 603 to move along the direction of the second limit rod 604 to adjust its lateral position. At the same time, the second cylinder 605 moves downward and achieves stable downward pressing under the support of the connecting plate 607 and the machine body 2. The output end of the second cylinder 605 slides in the limit block 606 to apply a pressing force to the end cap, pressing the end cap into the product to complete the assembly. After the pressing reaches the set stroke, the cylinder returns, the pressing component 6 resets, and the loading platform 504 returns to the initial loading position under the drive of the electric slide rail 502. The operator takes out the product that has been pressed and places a new product to be processed. The equipment enters the next cycle of operation under the control of the start button 8, thereby realizing the stable pressing operation of the product.

[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
