[0002] The magnetic latching relay is a new type of relay developed in recent years, and is also an automatic switch. Like other electromagnetic relays, it automatically connects and disconnects the circuit. In the production process of the magnetic latching relay, due to the size problem of the ring terminal and the lead-out end, the terminal needs to be inserted horizontally and then rotated 90° so that the screw hole faces upward.

[0003] When the existing ring terminal in-position rotation mechanism is operated, due to the large spacing tolerance between multiple lead-out pieces, it is necessary to use pneumatic fingers to clamp the ring terminal individually, and then the cylinder pushes the pneumatic fingers to move the ring terminal to the specified position. Finally, the swing table rotates 90° to complete the rotation of one of the terminals in place, and then resets to perform the next cycle action, completing the rotation of multiple terminals in sequence. The mechanism is complex in action, occupies a large space, and cannot rotate multiple ring terminals at the same workstation, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the equipment.

[0024] Depend on Figures 1 to 6As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a ring terminal in-position rotation mechanism, including a rotation mechanism body and a relay 1, wherein the relay 1 is provided with a plurality of lead pieces 2, and the lead pieces 2 are sleeved with a ring terminal 3. At this time, the ring terminal 3 is arranged horizontally when being sleeved due to the previous process, and one end thereof with a screw hole or a fixing hole is located at the side position of the lead piece 2. Preferably, the rotation mechanism body of the present application includes a positioning device 4 and a rotating device 5, wherein the output end of the positioning device 4 is located in front of the end of the lead piece 2, so as to allow the positioning device 4 to align and approach and allow the lead piece 2 to be positioned by the positioning device 4, so that after the positioning is completed, the ring terminal 3 is located in front of the output end of the rotating device 5, and the ring terminal 3 is rotated 90° relative to the lead piece 2 by the rotating device 5, so that the end with the screw hole faces the correct direction, wherein the rotating device 5 can be arranged above or below the ring terminal 3, and in this embodiment, it is arranged below, and the output direction is perpendicular to the output direction of the positioning device 4, so that the ring terminal 3 is longitudinal after rotation, and the end with the screw hole faces upward.

[0025] It is known that the relay 1 can be transferred to the work station where the rotating mechanism body is located by means of a conveyor belt or other conveying devices.

[0026] Preferably, the positioning device 4 includes a first driving part 6 and a positioning block assembly 7. The positioning block assembly 7 is connected to the output end of the first driving part 6 to drive the output end of the positioning block assembly 7 to move closer to or away from the lead-out plate 2. In this embodiment, the first driving part 6 uses a cylinder to drive the positioning block assembly 7 to perform reciprocating motion.

[0027] Furthermore, the positioning block assembly 7 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 8 suitable for plugging in the ends of the lead-out pieces 2. In this embodiment, four lead-out pieces 2 and positioning grooves 8 are provided correspondingly. Depending on the product, the spacing position of the positioning grooves 8 is also different. When the lead-out piece 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 8, it can play a certain clamping and stabilizing role, and can allow the rotating device 5 to align with the ring terminal 3 for rotation. Among them, one end of the positioning block assembly 7 at the positioning groove 8 is designed in a stepped manner. When the lead-out piece 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 8, the end of the step can better abut against the ring terminal 3 to push it to and place it just above the output end of the rotating device 5, and because it is close to the relay 1, it can reduce the range of motion of the ring terminal 3 and play a better alignment role.

[0028] Furthermore, a guide groove 9 is provided at the end of the positioning groove 8, so that when the positioning block assembly 7 is close to the lead-out piece 2, the end of the lead-out piece 2 can be better inserted into the positioning groove 8. Among them, the end of the relay 1 away from the positioning device 4 can be limited by a transmission device or rely on the friction force of the relay 1 so that it will not be pushed away when the positioning device 4 outputs close. There are many implementation methods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Preferably, the positioning device 4 further includes a first moving pair 10, wherein the positioning device 4 itself can be installed on the support frame so that the positioning groove 8 is at the same level as the lead-out piece 2, and further connected and arranged between the positioning block assembly 7 and the first driving part 6 through the first moving pair 10, so as to enhance the smoothness and direction accuracy of the movement of the positioning block assembly 7. The first moving pair 10 can be a combination of a slide table and a slider, the slide table is connected to the first driving part 6, and the slider is connected to the positioning block assembly 7. The first driving can use a cylinder to push and pull the positioning block assembly 7.

[0030] Preferably, the rotating device 5 includes a second driving part 11 and a dial assembly 12, the dial assembly 12 is connected to the output end of the second driving part 11, and a plurality of L-shaped dial blocks 13 are arranged at the end of the dial assembly 12 away from the second driving part 11, and four L-shaped dial blocks 13 are arranged here corresponding to the number of positioning grooves 8. When the ring terminal 3 is located in the output direction of the rotating device 5, at this time, since the positioning device 4 has completed the positioning, the end of the L-shaped dial block 13 can abut against the end side of the ring terminal 3 and be rotated. Among them, the rotating device 5 can be installed on the support frame. In this embodiment, the rotating device 5 is arranged in a vertical direction as a whole, so the L-shaped dial block 13 contacts the ring terminal 3 in the longitudinal part, and because in this embodiment, the rotating device 5 is arranged at the bottom, the contact part of the L-shaped dial block 13 with the ring terminal 3 is the end side with the lower end of the screw hole, so that after the two abut against each other, they can be rotated upward by 90° to make the screw hole side face up, so that the ring terminal 3 is in place, which is convenient for the next process. The second driving part 11 can use a cylinder to push and pull the lower end of the paddle assembly 12. In terms of design, the width of the L-shaped paddle block 13 can be designed according to the length of the lead-out piece 2 or the spacing between the end 7 of the positioning block assembly and the relay 1 after positioning, so that the upper end of the L-shaped paddle block 13 can contact and paddle the ring terminal 3 even if the ring terminal 3 moves slightly.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotating device 5 further includes a second moving pair 14, and the paddle assembly 12 is mounted on the second moving pair 14, so as to enhance the directional accuracy and smoothness of the paddle assembly 12 when it moves. In this embodiment, the second moving pair 14 can be in the form of a slide table and a slider, the slide table is connected to the support frame, and the slider is connected to the paddle assembly 12.

[0032] The present application positions multiple lead pieces 2 with larger tolerances on the relay 1 through the positioning device 4, so that the ring terminal 3 is located in the output end direction of the rotating device 5, allowing the rotating device 5 to accurately output and rotate it 90°, completing the process of rotating the ring terminal 3 into place, and the present application can simultaneously rotate the ring terminals 3 on multiple lead pieces 2 on the same relay 1 into place at one time, and the present application has a simple structure and action, a compact mechanism, convenient maintenance, and low cost, which can improve the efficiency of relay production and processing.
