[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a new type of FPC connector, including a connector body 1 and an interface 5, wherein the connector body 1 is used to be plugged with a flexible flat cable, the interface 5 is fixed on an automatic wiring robot, the front of the connector body 1 is provided with a terminal row 4 for connecting with the flexible flat cable, the back of the connector body 1 is provided with a first clip 2 and a slot 3 for connecting with the interface 5, wherein the first clip 2 is respectively arranged at both ends of the slot 3; the interface 5 includes a fixing seat and a wedge-shaped positioning plate 7 arranged on the fixing seat, and second clips 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the wedge-shaped positioning plate 7; the two first clips 2 can cooperate with the second clips 6 on the interface 5 to achieve clip connection, and the slot 3 can adapt to the wedge-shaped positioning plate 7 on the interface 5.

[0022] Since the FPC connector needs to be frequently plugged and unplugged, the first buckle 2 and the second buckle 6 are designed to be semicircular in shape. This design is relatively simple and easy to plug and unplug, and does not require plugging and unplugging by controlling the clamping arm of the wiring robot. The second buckle 2 can fix the FPC connector on the interface 5, thereby fixing the FPC connector on the automatic wiring robot. The FPC connector can be fixed by the machine, and the FPC connector can be accurately connected to the flexible cable, thereby realizing the automatic connection of the plug board and the flexible cable. This automated connection system can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce human errors, and ensure the quality and stability of the connection.

[0023] The card slot 3 adopts an upper and lower wedge-shaped design to form a wedge-shaped groove. When in use, the wedge-shaped positioning plate 7 on the interface 5 can be snapped into the card slot 3 of the FPC connector, which can effectively limit the up and down movement of the wedge-shaped positioning plate 7 and prevent the first buckle 2 from offsetting and falling off after insertion. This design can effectively increase the stability and safety of the connection, especially in an environment that is prone to vibration.

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the wiring robot is working, the second buckle 6 on the interface 5 fixed on the wiring robot is connected with the first buckle 2 of the FPC connector (such as Figure 5-6 As shown in the figure, the wedge-shaped positioning plate 7 on the interface 5 is pressed against the card slot 3 of the FPC connector. Applying a certain pressure can prevent the interface 5 from falling off from the FPC connector. In front of the FPC connector, the flexible cable is controlled by the other arm of the wiring robot to accurately insert it into the terminal row 4 of the FPC connector. Since the buckle of the flexible cable has an anti-falling design, when the wiring robot applies reverse force, the connection between the interface 5 and the FPC connector will be loosened first, thereby realizing the insertion of the flexible cable into the FPC connector in the simplest way.

[0025] The core design of the utility model is to place a pair of first buckles 2 behind the traditional FPC connector, and the connector body 1 can be fixed on the interface 5 through the first buckles 2, and the interface 5 can be fixed on the wiring robot, so that the structure can be used in fully automated production, and it is convenient to connect the plug board and the flexible cable in large quantities through the wiring robot. The steps of manually inserting the flexible cable are saved, which saves a lot of time and avoids the situation of manual errors.
