Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ground ring terminal crimping technology, specifically to a multi-station continuous ground ring terminal crimping machine. Background Technology
[0002] There are various types of existing ground ring terminals. Most ground ring terminals are single metal parts, while a small number are assembled structures.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN207967357U discloses a ground ring terminal for wiring, including a circular terminal head, a neck, a wire clamp, a tail clip, and a wire groove. The circular terminal head is a female terminal that is fastened to a male stud. The wire clamp is connected to the circular terminal head through the extended neck. The wire clamp is a clamping and fixing clamp for securing the power connection wire and ensuring a stable electrical connection. The tail clip is a tail-reinforcing rigid member that cooperates with the wire clamp to fix the power connection wire. The wire groove provides a fitting contact arc groove for the power connection wire.
[0004] The ground ring terminal disclosed in the above scheme is a single metal part structure, which does not require an assembly step in the production process. However, there is an existing assembled ground ring terminal, which includes two first rivets, two second rivets, four springs, a ground ring plastic part with four through holes, and two metal sheet bodies. During assembly, two first rivets and two second rivets need to be arranged in an array. Then, four springs are sequentially fitted onto the first and second rivets. Next, the ground ring plastic part is placed horizontally, aligning its four through holes with the arrayed first and second rivets. Then, the ground ring plastic part is placed vertically, inserting the first and second rivets into their corresponding through holes. Next, two identical metal plates are placed on the ground ring plastic part, each with a first hole corresponding to a first rivet and a second hole corresponding to a second rivet. Therefore, when placing the metal plates, the first and second holes must be aligned with the first and second rivets, respectively. Finally, the assembled ground ring terminal is placed into a riveting machine for riveting. As can be seen, the work steps are cumbersome, and traditional manual assembly is inefficient. Furthermore, the ground ring terminal may fall apart during transport to the riveting machine after assembly, making it unsuitable for mass production. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A multi-station continuous ground ring terminal crimping machine includes a worktable 1 and a rotating disk 2. The lower part of the rotating disk 2 is provided with a driving device 11 that drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate a rated angle in one go. The rotating disk 2 is provided with a shaping seat 21, and the upper part of the shaping seat 21 is provided with four mounting slots 211. Along the processing direction, the following are arranged sequentially on the outer periphery of the rotating disk 2: The rivet mounting unit 3 is used to place two first rivets 91 and two second rivets 92 sequentially into the four mounting slots 211; Spring mounting unit 4 is used to fit the spring body 93 into the two first rivets 91 and the two second rivets 92 respectively; The base mounting unit 5 is used to place the ground ring plastic part 94 with four through holes on the upper part of the shaping base 21, and the two first rivets 91 and the two second rivets 92 are respectively inserted into the four through holes; The metal plate mounting unit 6 is used to place two metal plate bodies 95 sequentially on the upper part of the ground ring plastic part 94. The metal plate body 95 has a first round hole 951 and a second round hole 952. The first round hole 951 is inserted and engaged with the first rivet 91, and the second round hole 952 is inserted and engaged with the second rivet 92 to form a ground ring terminal to be shaped. Automatic riveting machine 7 is used to simultaneously press two first rivets 91 and two second rivets 92 to form a shaped ground ring terminal. The unloading unit 8 is used to remove and discharge the shaped ground ring terminal from the shaping base 21.
[0028] Before the equipment is put into operation, the relevant parameters are set. After the equipment is started, the drive device 11 drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate at a rated angle once, so that the shaping seat 21 on the rotating disk 2 stops in sequence on the side of each unit set along the processing direction on the outer periphery of the rotating disk 2, as well as the automatic riveting machine 7 and the unloading unit 8. First, the shaping base 21 stops on one side of the rivet mounting unit 3. The rivet mounting unit 3 places two first rivets 91 and two second rivets 92 sequentially into the four mounting slots 211 on the upper part of the shaping base 21. After the rivets are placed, the rotating disk 2 rotates, causing the shaping base 21, which carries the first rivets 91 and the second rivets 92, to align with the spring mounting unit 4. The spring mounting unit 4 then inserts the spring body 93 into the two first rivets 91 and the two second rivets 92 respectively. Subsequently, the rotating disk 2 continues to rotate, and the shaping base 21 aligns with the base mounting unit 5. The base mounting unit 5 places a ground ring plastic part 94 with four through holes on the upper part of the shaping base 21, so that the two first rivets 91 and the two second rivets 92 are inserted into the four through holes respectively. Then, the rotating disk 2 causes the shaping base 21, which carries the relevant components, to stop. On one side of the metal sheet mounting unit 6, the metal sheet mounting unit 6 places two metal sheet bodies 95 sequentially on the upper part of the ground ring plastic part 94, so that the first round hole 951 on the metal sheet body 95 is engaged with the first rivet 91 and the second round hole 952 is engaged with the second rivet 92, forming a ground ring terminal to be shaped; then, the rotating disk 2 drives the ground ring terminal to be shaped to the side of the automatic riveting machine 7, and the automatic riveting machine 7 presses the two first rivets 91 and the two second rivets 92 simultaneously to form a shaped ground ring terminal; finally, the rotating disk 2 drives the shaped ground ring terminal to the side of the unloading unit 8, and the unloading unit 8 removes the shaped ground ring terminal from the shaping seat 21 and discharges it, completing the assembly and processing of one ground ring terminal. The rotating disk 2 continues to rotate, and each station operates in a cycle to achieve continuous processing.
[0029] This multi-station continuous ground ring terminal crimping machine uses a shaping seat 21 on a rotating disk 2 to pre-position the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 using the mounting groove 211 on the shaping seat 21. This effectively avoids the problem of rivet position misalignment during assembly. Simultaneously, the rotating disk 2 is surrounded by a rivet mounting unit 3, a spring mounting unit 4, a base mounting unit 5, a metal sheet mounting unit 6, an automatic crimping machine 7, and a feeding unit 8 along the processing direction. These, along with the drive device 11, drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate a rated angle in a single operation, realizing the crimping of the ground ring terminal from the rivet. The continuous processing from placement of the spring sleeve, placement of the ground ring plastic part 94, installation of the metal sheet body 95, pressing and shaping to unloading and discharge significantly simplifies the work steps and improves the efficiency of assembly and processing compared to the traditional method of complete manual assembly. Moreover, all parts are always under the positioning constraint of the shaping seat 21 throughout the entire processing, which avoids the situation of disintegration during transportation to the pressing and riveting stage after assembly. It can well meet the needs of mass production of ground ring terminals, reduce the intensity of manual operation and human error, and ensure the assembly accuracy and product consistency of ground ring terminals.
[0030] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rivet mounting unit 3 includes: Two rivet mounting assemblies 31 are provided, and the two rivet mounting assemblies 31 are respectively used to mount the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92; Two first vibrating feed trays 32 are provided and are respectively used to store the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92. The two first vibrating feed trays 32 correspond one-to-one with the two rivet mounting assemblies 31.
[0031] By setting up two rivet mounting components 31 to install the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 respectively, the diameters of the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 are different. With the cooperation of two corresponding first vibrating feeding plates 32, the materials are fed separately. The two first vibrating feeding plates 32 can continuously and stably feed the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 to the corresponding rivet mounting components 31, eliminating the need for manual placement of rivets. The two rivet mounting components 31 have a clear division of labor, completing the installation of the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 respectively. This avoids the waiting time caused by alternating installation of two types of rivets by a single component, further simplifying the rivet installation steps, improving the continuity of feeding and installation, reducing manual intervention, and reducing human operation errors. At the same time, it ensures that the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 can accurately correspond to the mounting slot 211 on the shaping seat 21, laying a precise positioning foundation for subsequent processes such as spring sleeve installation and ground ring plastic part 94 installation. This solves the problems of low efficiency and inaccurate positioning of traditional manual rivet placement, and helps the equipment achieve continuous production.
[0032] Reference Figure 8 The rivet mounting assembly 31 includes: The first two-dimensional slide 311 is disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2; The gripper 312 is disposed on the first two-dimensional slide 311.
[0033] A first two-dimensional slide 311 and a gripper 312 are provided in the rivet installation assembly 31. The first two-dimensional slide 311 can drive the gripper 312 to move flexibly in the horizontal and vertical directions. When the shaping seat 21 reaches the corresponding work position of the rivet installation assembly 31 and stops with the rotating disk 2, the gripper 312 clamps the first rivet 91 or the second rivet 92 from the corresponding first vibrating feeding disk 32. Then, driven by the first two-dimensional slide 311, it moves precisely to the mounting slot 211 above the shaping seat 21 and smoothly places the rivet into the mounting slot 211, realizing the precise placement of the rivet and avoiding the problems of rivet offset and misalignment that occur when placing it manually. At the same time, the clamping action of the gripper 312 can ensure that the rivet will not fall off during the movement, further improving the stability and accuracy of rivet installation. With the flexible movement of the first two-dimensional slide 311, it can adapt to the installation requirements of shaping seats 21 of different specifications, reduce the intensity of manual operation, improve the efficiency of rivet installation, and provide a guarantee for the smooth progress of subsequent processes.
[0034] Reference Figure 6 The spring mounting unit 4 includes a safety light curtain 41, which is disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2.
[0035] A safety light curtain 41 is installed in the spring mounting unit 4. During equipment operation, the safety light curtain 41 continuously detects the area between the rotating disk 2 and the spring mounting unit 4. When a worker's arm or other foreign object enters the detection area, the safety light curtain 41 immediately triggers the equipment to stop operating. The equipment can only resume operation after the foreign object leaves the detection area. This effectively prevents workers from being squeezed or collided by the rotating disk 2, the shaping seat 21, or other moving parts when manually fitting the springs, ensuring the safety of the workers. At the same time, it prevents spring misalignment, rivet displacement, or equipment damage caused by accidental operation of the equipment during operation. It takes into account both the necessity of manual assistance and operational safety, ensuring that the equipment operates in a safe and stable state, and is suitable for the safety management needs in mass production processes.
[0036] Reference Figure 6 The metal sheet mounting unit 6 includes: Two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 are provided and arranged along the processing direction of the ground ring terminal; The second vibrating feeder 62 has two parts, which respectively supply the metal sheet body 95 to the two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61.
[0037] By setting up two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 arranged along the processing direction, and cooperating with two corresponding second vibrating feeding trays 62 to supply materials respectively, the two second vibrating feeding trays 62 can continuously feed the metal sheet bodies 95 to the corresponding metal sheet mounting assemblies 61. There is no need for manual placement of metal sheets. The two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 work together and operate in sequence. When the shaping seat 21 arrives at the metal sheet mounting unit 6 station with the rotating disk 2, the two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 can complete the installation of two metal sheet bodies 95 one after another. There is no need to wait for a single assembly to complete the installation of two metal sheets before proceeding to the next process. This greatly shortens the waiting time of the rotating disk 2 and improves the efficiency of metal sheet installation. At the same time, the stable material supply of the second vibrating feeding trays 62 ensures that the metal sheet bodies 95 can be supplied in a timely manner, avoiding the situation of idle station, further improving the overall processing efficiency of the equipment, solving the problems of long time consumption and poor adaptability of traditional manual installation of metal sheets, and helping the equipment to achieve continuous mass production.
[0038] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The metal sheet mounting assembly 61 includes: The second two-dimensional slide 611 is disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2; A first clamping device 612 is disposed on the second two-dimensional slide 611, and the first clamping device 612 is used to clamp the metal sheet body 95.
[0039] A second two-dimensional slide 611 and a first clamping device 612 are provided in the metal sheet mounting assembly 61. The second two-dimensional slide 611 can drive the first clamping device 612 to move flexibly in the horizontal and vertical directions. When the shaping seat 21 arrives at the work position of the metal sheet mounting unit 6 with the rotating disk 2, the first clamping device 612 clamps the metal sheet body 95 from the corresponding second vibrating feeding disk 62. Then, driven by the second two-dimensional slide 611, it moves precisely above the ground ring plastic part 94, and the position of the metal sheet body 95 is adjusted so that the first circular hole 951 on the metal sheet body 95 aligns with the ground ring plastic part 94. The first rivet 91 is precisely aligned, and the second round hole 952 is precisely aligned with the second rivet 92. Then, the metal sheet body 95 is placed stably on the ground ring plastic part 94, achieving precise installation of the metal sheet body 95. This avoids problems such as hole misalignment and metal sheet displacement that occur during manual installation. At the same time, the stable clamping of the first clamping device 612 can prevent the metal sheet body 95 from falling or deforming during movement, ensuring the installation accuracy and integrity of the metal sheet body 95. This provides a guarantee for the smooth progress of subsequent riveting processes, further improving product quality consistency and reducing the defect rate.
[0040] The base mounting unit 5 consists of a two-dimensional slide, a clamping device, and a vibrating feeding plate. Since its configuration is similar to that of the rivet mounting unit 3 and the metal sheet mounting unit 6, it will not be described in detail here.
[0041] Reference Figure 7 The clamping end of the first clamping device 612 is a suction cup.
[0042] Because the metal sheet body 95 is relatively thin, the clamping end of the first clamping device 612 is set as a suction cup. When the first clamping device 612 clamps the metal sheet body 95, the suction cup uses adsorption force to stably adsorb the metal sheet body 95. Compared with the clamping method of the traditional gripper 312, the contact area between the suction cup and the metal sheet body 95 is larger and the force is more uniform. This can effectively prevent the metal sheet body 95 from being pinched or deformed, ensuring the structural integrity of the metal sheet body 95. At the same time, the adsorption force of the suction cup can be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications of the metal sheet body 95 to ensure a firm adsorption and prevent the metal sheet body 95 from falling or shifting during movement and installation. This further improves the stability and accuracy of the installation of the metal sheet body 95, reduces defective products caused by metal sheet deformation, lowers production costs, and meets the stable requirements for product quality in mass production.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The shaping base 21 has eight parts, which are evenly arranged around the axis of the rotating disk 2.
[0044] Eight shaping seats 21 are evenly arranged around the axis of the rotating disk 2, and eight workstations are set along the processing direction on the periphery of the rotating disk 2. When the rotating disk 2 stops, the eight shaping seats 21 can correspond one-to-one with the eight workstations, so that all workstations are in working state at the same time. Each shaping seat 21 passes through each workstation in sequence to complete the corresponding processing procedure. It is not necessary to complete all the procedures of a single shaping seat 21 before processing the next shaping seat 21. This realizes multi-workstation synchronous operation, improves the workstation utilization rate and overall processing efficiency of the equipment, and shortens the processing cycle of a single ground ring terminal. At the same time, the even arrangement of the eight shaping seats 21 can ensure the balanced force when the rotating disk 2 rotates, avoid the shaking and deviation of the rotating disk 2 caused by uneven force, ensure the processing accuracy of each workstation, and further solve the problems of low efficiency and inability to adapt to mass production in traditional manual assembly, thereby improving the production capacity of the equipment.
[0045] Reference Figure 8 The feeding unit 8 includes: The third two-dimensional slide 81 is disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2; The second clamping device 82 is disposed on the third two-dimensional slide table 81, and the second clamping device 82 is used to clamp the shaped ground ring terminal. The belt conveyor 83 is disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2 and located below the moving path of the second clamping device 82.
[0046] The unloading unit 8 is equipped with a third two-dimensional slide 81, a second clamping device 82, and a belt conveyor 83. When the shaped ground ring terminal arrives at the work position of the unloading unit 8 along with the rotating disk 2, the third two-dimensional slide 81 drives the second clamping device 82 to move above the shaping seat 21. The second clamping device 82 smoothly clamps the shaped ground ring terminal. Then, driven by the third two-dimensional slide 81, it moves above the belt conveyor 83 and releases the clamp, placing the ground ring terminal smoothly on the belt conveyor 83. The belt conveyor 83 runs continuously, automatically conveying the shaped ground ring terminal to the designated collection area, realizing the automation of the unloading process. There is no need for manual material handling, which improves the unloading efficiency. At the same time, the stable clamping of the second clamping device 82 can prevent the ground ring terminal from falling or being damaged during the unloading process. The continuous conveying of the belt conveyor 83 can realize the seamless connection between unloading and subsequent collection, avoiding equipment jamming caused by material accumulation, further improving the continuous production capacity of the equipment, adapting to the unloading needs of mass production, and reducing the intensity of manual operation.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 An operation screen 12 is provided on one side of the workbench 1.
[0048] An operation screen 12 is installed on one side of the workbench 1. Before the equipment is started, the operator can accurately set various operating parameters through the operation screen 12, including the rotation speed of the rotating disc 2, the feeding speed of the first vibrating feeding disc 32 and the second vibrating feeding disc 62, etc. During the operation of the equipment, the operator can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time through the operation screen 12, promptly detect and adjust abnormal parameters, and also realize the operation of the equipment such as starting, stopping and modifying parameters through the operation screen 12. This simplifies the operation process of the equipment, eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the operating parameters of each component, reduces the difficulty of operation, ensures that the equipment is always in the best operating state, guarantees the accuracy and consistency of processing at each station, reduces processing errors and defective products caused by parameter deviations, further improves the operability and production stability of the equipment, and adapts to the needs of precise equipment control in mass production.
[0049] Working principle: Around the rotating disk 2, in accordance with the installation steps, are arranged two rivet mounting assemblies 31, one spring mounting unit 4, one base mounting unit 5, two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61, one automatic riveting machine 7, and one unloading unit 8, for a total of eight workstations. To improve work efficiency, eight shaping seats 21 are set on the rotating disk 2. When the rotating disk 2 stops, the eight shaping seats 21 correspond one-to-one with the eight workstations, ensuring that all workstations are in working condition. Before the entire equipment is put into operation, parameters can be set through the operation panel 12, such as the rotation speed of the rotating disk 2, the feeding speed of the first vibrating feeding plate 32 and the second vibrating feeding plate 62, and the operating power of the belt conveyor 83. After the settings are completed, the equipment is started. The rotating disk 2 drives the shaping seat 21 to pass through the first rivet mounting component 31. When the shaping seat 21 reaches the position of the first rivet mounting component 31, the rotating disk 2 stops rotating. Then, the first rivet mounting component 31 places the two first rivets 91 in the two mounting slots 211 corresponding to the shaping seat 21 according to the molding settings. After placement, the rotating disk 2 rotates and drives the shaping seat 21, which receives the first rivets 91, to stop on one side of the second rivet mounting component 31. The second rivet mounting component 31 places the two second rivets 92 in the remaining two mounting slots 211 on the shaping seat 21. The two rivet mounting components 31 each have two first vibrating feeding disks 32 for feeding. Both rivet mounting components 31 use grippers 312 to clamp and feed the first rivets 91 and the second rivets 92 respectively.
[0050] Subsequently, the rotating disk 2 drives the shaping seat 21, which holds the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92, to move to one side of the spring mounting unit 4. The worker then places the spring body 93 onto the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 in sequence. This is because the spring body 93 is small and the gripper 312 is not easy to hold, so manual feeding is required. However, since the mounting groove 211 pre-positions the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92, the positions of the first rivet 91 and the second rivet 92 will not shift during the process of placing the spring body 93.
[0051] Subsequently, the rotating disk 2 drives the shaping seat 21, which is supported by a spring, to the base mounting unit 5. After the base mounting unit 5 places the ground ring plastic part 94 on the shaping seat 21, the rotating disk 2 drives the shaping seat 21 to move again. The shaping seat 21 moves to the metal sheet mounting unit 6. The metal sheet mounting unit 6 has two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61. The two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 are fed by two second vibrating feeding trays 62 respectively. The metal sheet bodies 95 stored in the two second vibrating feeding trays 62 are exactly the same. By setting two metal sheet mounting assemblies 61 and installing the two metal sheet bodies 95 separately, the waiting time of the rotating disk 2 during the rotation process is shortened, and the assembly efficiency is improved. The metal sheet mounting assembly 61 adsorbs the metal sheet body 95 through the clamping end of the first clamping device 612 and places the metal sheet body 95 on the ground ring plastic part 94. During placement, the first round hole 951 on the metal sheet body 95 is aligned with the first rivet 91, and the second round hole 952 is aligned with the second rivet 92, so that the metal sheet body 95 can be correctly placed on the upper part of the ground ring plastic part 94.
[0052] After the two metal sheets are placed, the ground ring terminal to be shaped is formed. The automatic riveting machine 7 can then press and shape the ground ring terminal. The rotating disk 2 then moves the shaped ground ring terminal to the unloading unit 8, where the second clamping device 82 clamps it. It is worth noting that the clamping end of the second clamping device 82 is also a suction cup. The suction cup adsorbs the shaped ground ring terminal and moves it onto the belt conveyor 83 under the drive of the third two-dimensional slide table 81, thus completing the unloading and completing the assembly of one ground ring terminal.
[0053] It is worth noting that the equipment remains stopped when the safety light curtain 41 detects a worker's arm passing by, even if installation has been completed at other workstations.
