Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of wiring belly manufacturing, in particular to a wiring terminal track shifting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Terminal blocks are components used to achieve electrical connections and are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment and systems. They usually serve as interfaces between different wires or components in a circuit, allowing the transmission of current and the transfer of signals. Terminal blocks play a vital role in automation equipment, automotive electronics, communication base stations, household appliances, and industrial control systems.

[0003] The terminal block includes a base, screws and inserts. The existing terminal block assembly process is mostly manual, and workers need to manually lock the screws in the base and inserts. This process is inefficient. Manual assembly of terminal blocks requires a lot of manual operations, which requires high physical strength and endurance of workers. This traditional assembly method has certain flexibility in small-batch production or customized production, but there are many limitations in large-scale production.

[0004] The speed of manual assembly of terminal blocks is slow and cannot meet the demand of modern manufacturing industry for high-efficiency production. With the increase of labor costs, the cost of manual assembly of terminal blocks has gradually increased, affecting the market competitiveness of products. Manual operation is easily affected by personal skills and emotions, resulting in unstable product quality and difficulty in ensuring the qualified rate. Long-term repetitive operation may cause occupational diseases such as tenosynovitis in operators. Problems such as incorrect insertion of wires, loose crimping or poor welding may occur during manual assembly, increasing the rework rate. During the assembly process of terminal blocks, sharp metal edges or high-temperature welding equipment may be exposed, which poses certain safety risks.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the industry urgently needs an automated terminal track shifting mechanism to push the terminals at different stations on the processing track during the automatic assembly process of the terminals, so as to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, ensure product quality, and reduce the safety risks of manual operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the specific technical scheme of a terminal track shifting mechanism of the utility model is as follows:

[0008] A terminal track shifting mechanism comprises a shifting base, a shifting track arranged along a terminal processing track, a plurality of pushing structures arranged on the shifting track for pushing the terminal forward on the terminal processing track, and a shifting driving structure arranged on the shifting base for driving the shifting track to move;

[0009] The shift driving structure is connected to the shift track through a shift connecting block, driving the shift track to move forward and backward along the terminal processing track;

[0010] The pushing structure pushes the connecting terminal forward along the connecting terminal processing track when the shift track moves forward, and avoids the connecting terminal when the shift track moves backward.

[0011] As a further improvement of the utility model, the pushing structure includes a pushing base fixedly connected to the shift track, and a pushing piece rotatably connected to the pushing base and extending toward the terminal processing track;

[0012] The pushing piece pushes the connecting terminal forward along the connecting terminal processing track when the shift track moves forward, and avoids the connecting terminal when the shift track moves backward.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pushing piece includes a pushing end for pushing the terminal forward, a avoiding end for avoiding the terminal when retreating, a limiting end abutting against the pushing base, and an inclined end extending from the limiting end to the forward direction of the terminal; the inclined end forms an opening with a certain inclination angle between the forward direction of the terminal and the pushing base, the inclined end is connected to the pushing base through an elastic component in the opening, and the limiting end limits the rotation of the pushing piece during the forward process;

[0014] When the shift track moves forward, the pushing end abuts against the terminal, the limiting end abuts against the pushing base to limit the rotation of the pushing piece, and the pushing end pushes the terminal forward; when the shift track moves backward, the avoiding end abuts against the terminal, the inclined end moves toward the pushing base, and the opening gradually shrinks. After the avoiding end is separated from the terminal, the opening is restored under the action of the elastic component.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the shift drive structure includes a first shift drive device and a second shift drive device; the first shift drive device is connected to a first shift base, the first shift base is connected to the shift base via a shift slide rail, and the second shift drive device is connected to the shift base;

[0016] The first shift driving device is connected to the shift connection block via a first shift telescopic rod, and drives the first shift telescopic rod to extend and retract to drive the shift track to move forward and backward along the terminal processing track;

[0017] The second shift driving device is connected to the first shift base via a second shift telescopic rod, drives the second shift telescopic rod to extend and retract to drive the first shift base to move on the shift slide rail, and at the same time drives the shift rail to move forward and backward along the terminal processing rail.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the first shift drive device drives the shift track forward and backward to realize the advancement of the terminal block at different positions;

[0019] The second shift drive device drives the shift track forward and backward to achieve switching of different slots of the terminal blocks at the same station.

[0020] As a further improvement of the utility model, the pushing structure is detachably connected to the shift track, which is convenient for adjusting the spacing, as well as maintenance and replacement.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pushing structure is of modular design, which is convenient for quick replacement and maintenance, so as to improve the maintenance efficiency of the entire mechanism and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0022] As a further improvement of the utility model, the mechanism of the utility model also includes a control system to realize synchronous driving of the displacement drive structure, stop pushing when an abnormal situation is detected, and send out a warning signal.

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] The utility model realizes the sequential advancement of the wiring terminals between different workstations on the processing track through the automated shift drive structure and the pushing structure, which significantly improves the efficiency of the wiring terminal processing and reduces the need for manual operation.

[0025] Through the precisely designed shift drive structure, the mechanism can achieve precise positioning of the terminal blocks on the processing track, ensuring the accuracy of the processing and the quality of the terminal blocks.

[0026] The mechanism can realize the advancement of the terminal block at different workstations, as well as the advancement of different slots at the same workstation, thereby increasing the adaptability and flexibility of the mechanism, improving work efficiency and reducing equipment investment.

[0027] The automated shifting mechanism reduces the need for manual operation, thereby reducing production costs while improving production efficiency. It reduces the uncertainty of manual operation and improves the stability and reliability of the entire production process.

[0028] The design of the utility model takes into account integration with existing production lines and can be easily used in conjunction with existing manufacturing systems without the need for large-scale transformation or investment.

[0029] Due to the modular and detachable design, the mechanism can adapt to different working environments and conditions and has good environmental adaptability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Implementation example:

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the terminal 600 moves forward in sequence between different processing stations on the terminal processing track 500. A terminal track shifting mechanism pushes the terminal 600 on the processing track, and is composed of a shifting base 100, a shifting track 200, a pushing structure 300 and a shifting driving structure 400.

[0037] The shift base 100 is the supporting structure of the entire mechanism and is fixed beside the terminal processing track 500 to ensure the stability of the entire mechanism.

[0038] The shift track 200 is parallel and close to the side of the terminal processing track 500. The pushing structure 300 is set according to the number of processing stations. The pushing structure 300 is evenly arranged on the shift track 200 and extends toward the terminal 600 on the processing track.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the shift drive structure 400 includes a first shift drive device 410 and a second shift drive device 420. The first shift drive device 410 is fixed on the first shift base 430. The first shift base 430 is connected to the shift base 100 through a shift slide rail 440, and the second shift drive device 420 is fixed on the shift base 100; the first shift drive device 410 is connected to the shift connection block 210 through a first shift telescopic rod 450, and drives the first shift telescopic rod 450 to extend and retract to drive the shift rail 100 to move forward and backward along the terminal processing rail 500; the second shift drive device 420 is connected to the first shift base 430 through a second shift telescopic rod 460, and drives the second shift telescopic rod 460 to extend and retract to drive the first shift base 430 to move on the shift slide rail 440, and at the same time drives the shift rail 100 to move forward and backward along the terminal processing rail 500. In this embodiment, the first shift driving device 410 and the second shift driving device 420 are cylinder structures, and the first shift telescopic rod 450 and the second shift telescopic rod 460 are piston rods of the cylinders.

[0040] The first shift drive device 410 drives the shift track 100 forward and backward to realize the advancement of the terminal block 600 at different workstations; the second shift drive device 420 drives the shift track 100 forward and backward to realize the switching of different slots of the terminal block 600 at the same workstation.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing structure 300 includes a pushing base 310 and a pushing piece 320, which is used to push the terminal 600 forward on the processing track. The pushing piece 320 is rotatably connected to the pushing base 310, and has a pushing end 321, an avoidance end 322, a limiting end 323 and an inclined end 324.

[0042] The pushing end 321 pushes the terminal 600 forward after abutting against the terminal 600, and the avoiding end 322 avoids after abutting against the terminal 600 when retreating, and the limiting end 323 abuts against the side of the pushing base 310 to limit the rotation of the pushing piece 320 during the forward process, and the inclined end 324 extends from the limiting end 323 to the forward direction of the terminal 600 and forms an opening 325 with a certain inclination angle between the pushing base 310, and is connected to the pushing base 310 in the opening 325 through an elastic component 326. In this embodiment, the elastic component 326 is a spring.

[0043] When the shift track 100 moves forward, the pushing end abuts against the terminal, the limiting end abuts against the pushing base to limit the rotation of the pushing piece, and the pushing end 321 pushes the terminal 600 forward; when the shift track 100 moves backward, the avoiding end 322 abuts against the terminal 600, the inclined end 324 moves toward the pushing base 310, and the opening 325 gradually shrinks. After the avoiding end 322 is separated from the terminal 600, the opening 325 is restored under the action of the elastic component 326.

[0044] The pushing structure 300 is modularly designed and detachably connected to the shifting track 100, which is convenient for adjusting the spacing, as well as maintenance and replacement to improve the maintenance efficiency of the entire mechanism and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0045] The mechanism of the utility model also includes a control system, which realizes synchronous driving between the shift drive structure and each automatic assembly station, stops pushing when an abnormal situation is detected, and sends a warning signal to the automatic assembly system.
