Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of conveying technology, specifically relating to wire harness terminal conveying and assembly equipment, and more particularly to a wire harness terminal insertion conveying equipment and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] The wire harness terminal is the core connection component of the wire harness, and its assembly quality directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire circuit system.

[0003] In related technologies, pin insertion of wire harness terminals largely relies on manual operation, where operators manually insert the pins into the slots of the terminal body. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also prone to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in product assembly due to human error. Problems such as improper insertion, misaligned pins, or even terminal damage can easily occur, affecting the overall quality of the wire harness product. Furthermore, the slots of the terminal body are susceptible to dust, oil, or tiny metal burrs accumulating during transport or while awaiting assembly. Automated assembly can compromise pin assembly accuracy, leading to unreliable electrical connections in the wire harness terminals.

[0004] Therefore, how to ensure the reliability of pin insertion while realizing automated wire harness delivery is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In one optional implementation, the pusher assembly includes; A pusher plate is positioned above the conveying track and has multiple pusher slots. A driving component is used to drive the pusher plate to move back and forth along the conveying direction of the conveying track, thereby pushing the terminal body from the feed end to the discharge end of the conveying track through the pusher slot.

The control module is also configured to drive two clamping heads to move toward each other via a drive unit, so that the drive rod abuts against the side wall of the cleaning rod, thereby pushing the cleaning rod into the slot of the terminal body.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the cleaning rod is L-shaped, and one end of the cleaning rod is elastically connected to the corresponding clamping head via a pin and a return torsion spring; When the two clamping heads move toward each other, the drive rod drives the cleaning rod to move along the pin toward the slot of the terminal body, so that the other end of the cleaning rod is inserted into the slot of the terminal body.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom surface of the other end of the cleaning rod is provided with a downwardly inclined groove. Furthermore, the two side walls at the other end of the cleaning rod are provided with outward inclined surfaces.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, when the two clamping heads move in opposite directions, the cleaning rod moves along the pin shaft toward the slot of the terminal body under the action of the reset torsion spring. At this point, the pins held between the two clamping heads fall into the other end of the cleaning rod for cushioning.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, a groove is provided on the top surface of the other end of the cleaning rod; The side of the cleaning rod that abuts against the drive rod is an inclined surface.

[0015] In one alternative implementation, the pin delivery assembly includes: Lateral drive components; A material conveying component is disposed on the transverse drive component and is used to drive the material conveying component to reciprocate along a conveying direction perpendicular to the feeding conveying mechanism; The assembly head is located at the discharge end of the conveying component.

[0029] Research has revealed that pin insertion in wire harness terminals largely relies on manual operation, where operators manually insert pins into the slots of the terminal body. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also prone to inconsistencies and inaccuracies due to human error, leading to problems such as improper insertion, misaligned pins, or even terminal damage, thus affecting the overall quality of the wire harness product. Furthermore, the slots of the terminal body are susceptible to dust, oil, or tiny metal burrs accumulating during transport or while awaiting assembly. Automated assembly can compromise pin assembly accuracy, resulting in unreliable electrical connections in the wire harness terminals.

[0030] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a conveying device and its working method for wire harness terminal plugging. By setting a cleaning plug 230 on the assembly head 220, an automated conveying process of cleaning before plugging is realized, thereby avoiding the presence of burrs or other debris in the slot 420 of the terminal body 400 during assembly, thus avoiding poor contact of the connecting terminals, improving the success rate of pin 410 plugging, and effectively avoiding equipment downtime caused by slot 420 blockage.

[0031] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0033] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one embodiment provides a conveying device for wire harness terminal insertion, comprising: a feeding conveying mechanism 100 for conveying terminal bodies 400; an assembly mechanism 200 disposed on the side of the feeding conveying mechanism 100 and for inserting pins 410 into the terminal bodies 400 conveyed by the feeding conveying mechanism 100; and a discharging conveying mechanism 300 disposed at the discharge end of the feeding conveying mechanism 100 and for conveying the assembled wire harness terminals; wherein the assembly mechanism 200 comprises: a pin conveying assembly 210; and an assembly head 220 disposed on the pin conveying assembly 210; the pin conveying assembly 210 is used to drive the assembly head 220 to assemble the pins 410 into the slots 420 of the terminal bodies 400 conveyed by the feeding conveying mechanism 100; wherein the assembly head 220 is provided with a cleaning rod 230.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the control module is configured to first drive the cleaning rod 230 of the assembly head 220 to clean the slot 420 of the terminal body 400, and then drive the assembly head 220 to insert the pin 410 into the slot 420 of the terminal body 400.

[0036] By setting a cleaning insert 230 on the assembly head 220, an automated conveying process of cleaning before insertion is realized, thereby avoiding the presence of burrs or other debris in the slot 420 of the terminal body 400 during assembly, thus avoiding poor contact of the connection terminals, improving the success rate of pin 410 insertion, and effectively avoiding equipment downtime caused by blockage of the slot 420.

[0037] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The feeding conveying mechanism 100 includes: a conveying track 110; and a pushing component 120, which is disposed on the side of the conveying track 110 and is used to push the terminal body 400 on the conveying track 110 toward the feeding end of the unloading conveying mechanism 300.

[0038] By setting up the pusher assembly 120, the terminal body 400 on the conveyor track 110 can be actively and orderly pushed to the assembly station, avoiding jamming or misalignment of the terminals during the feeding process. This ensures that the terminals can be accurately and continuously transported to the designated position for cleaning and assembly, and provides a guarantee for the stable and efficient operation of the feeding conveyor mechanism 100.

[0039] Specifically, the pushing assembly 120 includes: a pushing plate 121, which is disposed above the conveying track 110 and has a plurality of pushing slots 121a; and a driving member 122, which drives the pushing plate 121 to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying track 110, thereby pushing the terminal body 400 from the feeding end to the discharging end of the conveying track 110 through the pushing slots 121a.

[0040] The pusher plate 121, in conjunction with multiple pusher slots 121a, can push multiple terminal bodies 400 at once, improving feeding efficiency. The reciprocating drive mode enables stable and reliable intermittent feeding, ensuring that it matches the rhythm of the assembly mechanism 200, making the entire conveying process smoother.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The assembly head 220 includes: a guide block 221 for guiding the pin 410; a drive unit 222 disposed on the guide block 221; two clamping heads 223 disposed on the drive unit 222 and configured to move towards or away from each other under the drive of the drive unit 222; a cleaning rod 230 disposed between the two clamping heads 223 and rotatably connected to one of the clamping heads 223, and a drive rod 224 disposed at the corresponding position of the other clamping head 223 and the cleaning rod 230; the control module is further configured to drive the two clamping heads 223 to move towards each other via the drive unit 222, so that the drive rod 224 abuts against the side wall of the cleaning rod 230, thereby pushing the cleaning rod 230 into the slot 420 of the terminal body 400.

[0042] The two gripping heads 223 move toward each other, thereby driving the drive rod 224 (e.g. Figure 7 As shown in F1, the drive rod 224 abuts against the inclined surface 234 of the cleaning rod 230 and continues to move, driving the cleaning rod 230 along... Figure 7 The rotation of F2 indirectly drives the cleaning rod 230 to complete the cleaning action, eliminating the need for a separate drive source for the cleaning action. This simplifies the structure of the assembly head 220, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures the coordination between the cleaning and clamping actions, making the equipment structure more compact and the actions more coordinated.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3The cleaning rod 230 is L-shaped, and one end of the cleaning rod 230 is elastically connected to the corresponding clamping head 223 via a pin 226 and a return torsion spring 225. When the two clamping heads 223 move toward each other, the drive rod 224 drives the cleaning rod 230 to move along the pin 226 toward the slot 420 of the terminal body 400, so that the other end of the cleaning rod 230 is inserted into the slot 420 of the terminal body 400.

[0044] The L-shaped rod structure, in conjunction with the pin 226 and the reset torsion spring 225, enables the cleaning rod 230 to achieve elastic reset. This not only ensures that the cleaning rod 230 can be reliably inserted into the slot 420 for cleaning, but also automatically resets after cleaning, making room for the clamping and insertion of the subsequent pin 410.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom surface of the other end of the cleaning rod 230 is provided with a downwardly inclined groove 231; and the two side walls of the other end of the cleaning rod 230 are provided with outwardly inclined surfaces. By opening the groove 231 on the bottom surface of the cleaning rod 230, when the cleaning rod 230 is inserted into the slot 420 of the terminal body 400, the scraped debris is collected by the groove 231, thereby preventing debris from accumulating in the slot 420 of the terminal body 400, and thus reducing the impact on the electrical connection reliability of the wire harness terminals.

[0046] It should be noted that when the two clamping heads 223 move in opposite directions, the cleaning rod 230 moves along the pin 226 away from the slot 420 of the terminal body 400 under the action of the reset torsion spring 225; at this time, the pin 410 clamped between the two clamping heads 223 falls into the other end of the cleaning rod 230 for buffering.

[0047] When the clamping head 223 moves in opposite directions, the cleaning rod 230 resets and forms a receiving surface 233 at its end. The receiving surface 233 provides cushioning, allowing the released pin 410 to fall smoothly instead of falling freely. This prevents the pin 410 from bouncing, shifting, or being damaged on the surface due to a direct drop, ensuring that the pin 410 can be accurately guided to the predetermined position, thus improving the accuracy of the insertion and the product yield.

[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3The top surface of the other end of the cleaning rod 230 is provided with a groove 232; the side of the cleaning rod 230 that abuts against the drive rod 224 is an inclined surface. The groove 232 on the top surface increases the contact area with the pin 410, making the pin 410 more stable in place. The inclined surface that abuts against the drive rod 224 makes the driving process smoother, reduces wear and impact between components, and improves the stability and service life of the mechanism.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pin conveying assembly 210 includes: a lateral drive member 211; a conveying member 212, which is disposed on the lateral drive member 211 and is used to drive the conveying member 212 to reciprocate along a conveying direction perpendicular to the feeding conveying mechanism 100; and an assembly head 220 disposed at the discharge end of the conveying member 212. Through the cooperation of the lateral drive member 211 and the conveying member 212, the assembly head 220 can move precisely along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, thereby accurately aligning with the terminal slots 420 at different positions on the conveying line for cleaning and insertion operations.

[0050] Please see Figure 6 This disclosure also provides a working method for a conveying device for wire harness terminal plugging as described above. By setting a cleaning plug 230 on the assembly head 220, an automated conveying process of cleaning before plugging is realized, thereby avoiding the presence of burrs or other debris in the slot 420 of the terminal body 400 during assembly, thus avoiding poor contact of the connecting terminals, improving the success rate of pin 410 plugging, and effectively avoiding equipment downtime caused by slot 420 blockage.

[0051] Specifically, the working method includes: S110: The terminal body 400 is conveyed by the feeding conveyor mechanism 100; S120: The control module drives the cleaning rod 230 of the assembly head 220 to clean the slot 420 of the terminal body 400; S130: The control module drives the assembly head 220 to insert the pin 410 into the slot 420 of the terminal body 400; S140: The feeding conveyor 100 conveys the assembled wire harness terminals to the unloading conveyor 300 for conveying.

[0052] In summary, the present invention provides a wire harness terminal insertion conveying device and its working method. The wire harness terminal insertion conveying device includes: a feeding conveying mechanism 100 for conveying terminal bodies 400; an assembly mechanism 200 disposed on the side of the feeding conveying mechanism 100 for inserting pins 410 into the terminal bodies 400 conveyed by the feeding conveying mechanism 100; and a discharging conveying mechanism 300 disposed at the discharge end of the feeding conveying mechanism 100 for conveying the assembled wire harness terminals. The assembly mechanism 200 includes: a pin conveying assembly 210; and an assembly head 220 disposed on the pin conveying assembly 210. The pin conveying assembly 210 drives the assembly head 220 to assemble the pins 410 into the slots 420 of the terminal bodies 400 conveyed by the feeding conveying mechanism 100. The assembly head 220 is provided with a cleaning rod 230. By setting a cleaning insert 230 on the assembly head 220, an automated conveying process of cleaning before insertion is realized, thereby avoiding the presence of burrs or other debris in the slot 420 of the terminal body 400 during assembly, thus avoiding poor contact of the connection terminals, improving the success rate of pin 410 insertion, and effectively avoiding equipment downtime caused by blockage of the slot 420.

[0053] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the 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 the invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0055] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0056] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0057] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
