Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wire processing equipment, in particular to an automatic steering mechanism for connector feeding. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of new energy vehicles has led to an increase in the use of high-voltage wires. Therefore, there is a new demand for the automated processing of wires for new energy vehicles. Complex parts such as wires, tail plugs, waterproof plugs, terminals and connectors are designed on the wiring harness connector accessories of new energy vehicles. Among them, connectors usually have different contour shapes, colors and internal features to meet the connection needs of many electrical circuits. During the wiring harness processing, in order to automatically assemble the connector more efficiently, the assembly direction of the connector needs to be automatically adjusted to the only direction to be assembled, so as to assemble the terminals, waterproof plugs and tail plugs.

[0003] However, there is no automatic steering mechanism specifically for connectors in the existing technology, resulting in the need to manually adjust the direction of the connector during the actual production process, which is not only inefficient but also prone to positioning errors. Summary of the invention

[0004] In response to the defects in the above-mentioned background technology, the utility model provides an automatic steering mechanism for connector feeding, which turns the connector to a unique direction to be assembled and at the same time provides a wire positioning pin to ensure accurate positioning and less error-prone, thereby improving production efficiency and providing a strong guarantee for high-speed automated processing of new energy vehicle wiring harnesses.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides an automatic steering mechanism for connector feeding, comprising a bracket, a servo motor, a coupling, a rotating shaft, a cylinder, a clamping claw and a guide positioning needle;

[0007] The servo motor is fixedly mounted on the bracket, one end of the coupling is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft and fastened by screws; a bearing is installed at the other end of the rotating shaft, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly mounted in the bearing hole of the bracket, the inner ring is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate; a cylinder is provided at the lower end of the bracket; two clamping jaws are connected to the lower end of the cylinder; the guide positioning needle is installed on the sides of the two clamping jaws and fixed to the cylinder mounting seat by bolts; the guide positioning needle is adapted to the first guide hole opened on the discharge and cutting position of the vibration plate and the second guide hole opened on the secondary positioning carrier;

[0008] When the servo motor drives the gripper to pick up material from the cutting and discharging position of the vibration plate, the guide positioning pin enters the first guide hole of the cutting port, which can achieve more accurate and efficient positioning and grasping; when placing the connector into the secondary positioning carrier cavity, the guide positioning pin enters the second guide hole on the carrier, which can achieve more accurate and efficient positioning and placement.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a sensor; the sensor is installed on a bracket and a slot is provided on the bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a sensing sheet, which is circular and installed on the shoulder of the rotating shaft, and the outer diameter of the sensing sheet is embedded in the slot of the sensor.

[0011] Furthermore, a notch is formed on the sensing sheet, and whenever the notch passes through the sensor, the sensor determines that the shaft has rotated one circle, and the servo motor controls the shaft to rotate to a required angle with the notch position of the sensing sheet as the origin.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing ring, which is passed through the rotating shaft to press the sensing sheet and is fixed on the rotating shaft by screws.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a cylinder mounting seat, which is fixed to the end of the bracket, the cylinder is mounted on the cylinder mounting seat, and the left and right clamping jaws are respectively mounted on the cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (2) The setting of the cylinder and the clamp enables the mechanism to accurately grab the connector from the material cutting position of the vibrating plate and place it on the secondary positioning carrier. The cooperation between the guide positioning pin and the first guide hole and the second guide hole ensures the accuracy of grabbing and placing, avoiding errors that may be caused by manual operation.

[0017] (3) The addition of sensors and induction plates enables the mechanism to accurately determine the rotation state of the shaft, thereby controlling the servo motor to drive the shaft to rotate to the required angle, further improving the steering accuracy and stability.

[0018] (4) The setting of the fixing ring ensures the stable installation of the sensor plate on the rotating shaft, avoiding the loss of accuracy due to vibration or looseness.
