[0045] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a terminal block automatic assembly device includes:

[0046] The assembly line 1 includes a loading station 1a, a first assembly station 1b, a pressing station 1c, a second assembly station 1d, a testing station 1e and an unloading station 1f.

[0047] The assembly line 1 includes a carrier plate 11 and a third transfer assembly 12 disposed below the carrier plate 11; the third transfer assembly 12 moves the housing on the carrier plate 11 in turn at the loading station 1a, the first assembly station 1b, the pressing station 1c, the second assembly station 1d, the inspection station 1e and the unloading station 1f. A first guide trough (not shown in the figure) is disposed at the bottom of the carrier plate 11, and the length direction of the first guide trough (not shown in the figure) is the same as the opposite direction of the movement of the housing.

[0048] In this embodiment, the third transfer component 12 can be a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain, etc., or it can be a carrier mechanism driven by a conveyor belt or a chain, and the shell is placed on the carrier mechanism. The third transfer component 12 runs a certain distance each time to ensure that the shell can be transferred to each workstation in turn each time a transfer action is performed; the third transfer component 12 can also be composed of multiple separate driving mechanisms, and the shell is transferred to each workstation in turn through different driving mechanisms.

[0049] The loading station 1a is connected to the first vibration plate 21 to realize the loading of the shell. The first transfer assembly 2 is connected to the first vibration plate 21; the first transfer assembly 2 includes a third drive device 23 connected to the first platform 22, which can lift the first platform 22 to move in the vertical direction, and a first lever 24 and a fourth drive device 25 that can drive the first lever 24 to move in the direction of the first guide groove (not shown in the figure); when the first platform 22 moves to the downward end under the drive of the third drive device 23, it is connected to the first vibration plate 21; when it moves to the upward end, it is connected to the loading plate 11; the first lever 24 is connected to the fourth drive device 25 through the fifth drive device 26 that can drive it to move in the vertical direction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first carrier 22 is connected to the straight vibration track of the first vibration disk 21 when it is at the downward end, and the shell on the first vibration disk 21 enters the first carrier 22; when the first carrier 22 is lifted upward to the upward end by the third drive device 23, it is connected to the loading plate 11, and at the same time, the side wall of the first carrier 22 just blocks the exit of the straight vibration track of the first vibration disk 21, which can prevent the shell from flowing out again, thereby realizing the non-stop operation of the first vibration disk 21; the first lever 24 moves downward under the drive of the fifth drive device 26 and inserts into the notch on the shell, and then drives the shell into the loading station 1a on the loading plate 11 under the drive of the fourth drive device 25, and then the fifth drive device 26 and the fourth drive device 25 are reset in sequence.

[0051] The first loading assembly 3 is provided at the first assembly station 1b, and includes a first conveyor belt 31 for transmitting the current bar, and a first transfer assembly 32 for transferring the current bar on the first conveyor belt to the first assembly station 1b and assembling it with the shell. In this embodiment, the first loading assembly 3 can be implemented by a clamping claw, a moving module and other mechanisms; when the shell is transferred to the first assembly station 1b on the carrier plate 11, the first loading assembly 3 moves the current bar on the first conveyor belt to the top of the first assembly station 1b, and moves downward to complete the assembly with the shell.

[0052] A pressing assembly 4 is provided at the pressing station 1c to press the assembled current bar. The pressing assembly 4 includes a pressing block 41 and a sixth driving device 42 that can drive the pressing block 41 to move in a vertical direction.

[0053] A second loading component 5 is provided at the loading station 1a, which includes a second vibration plate 51 for realizing the loading of the slider, a dividing component 52 for dividing the slider loaded at the second vibration plate 51, and a second transfer component 53 for picking up the slider on the dividing component 52 and transferring it to the second assembly station 1d, thereby completing the assembly with the outer shell.

[0054] The material distribution assembly 52 includes a material distribution plate 521 provided with a material loading trough 5211, and a seventh driving device 522 connected to the material distribution plate 521 and capable of driving the material distribution plate 521 to move in a vertical direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the terminal block needs to assemble the slider twice. According to the transmission rhythm of the shell, the two assemblies are performed sequentially. Of course, in other embodiments, they can also be performed simultaneously. Therefore, the second vibration plate 51, the material distribution component 52, the second transfer component 53 and other mechanisms are all provided in two places.

[0056] When the slider is in the loading slot 5211, the end of the slider protrudes from the loading slot 5211 to facilitate the clamping of the first clamping claw 531. After the slider on the second vibration plate 51 enters the loading slot 5211, the seventh driving device 522 drives the material dividing plate 521 to move upward. At this time, the material dividing plate 521 just blocks the exit of the second vibration plate 51, which can block the slider to prevent further discharge of materials.

[0057] An inspection camera 6 is arranged directly above the inspection station 1e. A blanking assembly 7 is arranged at the blanking station 1f to realize blanking of the assembled terminal block.

[0058] The unloading assembly 7 includes a second lever 71 that can be connected to the notch set on the outer shell.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second lever 71 moves downward and inserts into the gap under the drive of the tenth driving device 72, and then moves along the downstream end direction of the assembly line 1 under the drive of the eleventh driving device 73, and at the same time drives the assembled terminal block to realize unloading; then the tenth driving device 72 and the eleventh driving device 73 are reset in sequence. When the inspection camera 6 detects defective products, when the defective products are transferred to the unloading station 1f, the second lever 71 moves downward and inserts into the gap under the drive of the tenth driving device 72, and then moves the defective products to the defective product box 75 under the drive of the twelfth driving device 74, and then the tenth driving device 72 and the twelfth driving device 74 are reset in sequence.
