Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation, in particular to an air blowing feeding device for bottom material connection. Background Art

[0002] Crimp terminals have a variety of shapes depending on the application scenario. One of them is a tube-type terminal, which is a conductive metal tube with an enlarged insulating sleeve at one end. The wire is stripped of its insulation and inserted into the terminal. The wire contacts the metal tube, and the metal tube is deformed and fits tightly to the wire through external force. The insulating sleeve is set on the insulating sleeve, so that only the metal tube part of the terminal after crimping is conductive. This type of terminal is mainly used for the conductive end of multi-strand wires. In order to facilitate the insertion of multi-strand wires into the metal tube and prevent the terminal from moving during use, the diameter of the insulating sleeve will be larger than the metal tube and there will be a tapered transition at the connection between the two. This makes it essentially different from other terminals, such as open terminals, in structure.

[0003] Therefore, when the tubular terminals are automatically crimped for wires, the insulating sleeves of the terminals need to be arranged in a uniform direction to facilitate the subsequent insertion of the wires. However, due to the different equipment on the production line, the adjustment equipment for the terminals is lower than the height of the subsequent workstations. At this time, the arranged terminals need to be transported to a higher plane. Utility Model Content

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] After the feeding component receives the terminal, the utility model outputs the terminal upward to the receiving component by blowing air at the lower end, the receiving component clamps the terminal to prevent the terminal from falling back downward, and the external equipment takes the terminal out of the receiving component to the subsequent station, so that the terminal can be output to a higher plane station in a specific state.

[0025] In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0026] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] Figures 1 to 3 A blowing feeding device for bottom connection of materials according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises:

[0028] The feeding component 1 includes a vibration plate 11 and a linear sorting channel 12, wherein the discharge end of the vibration plate 11 is connected to the feed end of the linear sorting channel 12; the feeding component 1 inputs the terminal 100 into the feeding component 2 in a specific pattern through a combination of two mechanisms.

[0029] Feeding assembly 2: comprising a stopper 21 arranged at the discharge end of the linear sorting channel 12, the stopper 21 is transversely perpendicular to the discharge direction of the linear sorting channel 12 to form a sliding groove 211, and a sliding block 22 is arranged in the sliding groove 211; the sliding groove 211 is close to the side of the linear sorting channel 12 to form a material passing groove 2111 for the terminal 100 to pass through, and a material receiving groove 221 is arranged on the same side of the sliding block 22 and the material passing groove 2111, and the material receiving groove 221 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, so that the terminal 100 can be stably placed therein, and the top of the material receiving groove 221 is connected to the material receiving assembly 3 through a conduit;

[0030] The slider slides, driving the terminal 100 in the receiving slot 221 to move from the material slot 2111 to the air outlet of the blowing element. The blowing element blows air from the bottom of the receiving slot 221, so that the terminal 100 enters the conduit; during the sliding process, the side wall of the sliding slot 211 plays a role in fixing the terminal 100 in the receiving slot 221, so that it will not fall out during the movement. The air outlet of the blowing element is set at the required position, which runs through the bottom of the sliding slot 211. The blowing element can be a cylinder, which blows air at a fixed time or all the time. Since the terminal 100 is kept in a state of being small at the bottom and large at the top in the receiving slot 221, the effect of the airflow on it can be understood as a parachute. Optionally, it also includes a feeding detection element 23: it is set on the stopper 21 to detect whether there is a terminal 100 in the receiving slot 221. The feeding detection element 23 can be connected to an external control device, so that the blowing element and the like can be linked.

[0031] The material receiving assembly 3 includes a mounting seat 31, a material clamping element 32 and a shielding element 33; the material clamping element 32 is arranged on the mounting seat 31, and the material clamping element 32 forms a material clamping hole 321 for the terminal 100 to pass through in the vertical direction, and a material clamping piece 322 is provided on the upper side of the material clamping hole 321 to fix the terminal 100, and the lower end is connected to the top of the material receiving groove 221 through a conduit; the shielding element 33 includes a shielding driving member and a shielding member, and the shielding driving member drives the shielding member to movably shield the top of the material clamping hole 321. In the utility model, the material receiving assembly 3 holds the terminal 100 and can be moved from Access from the upper direction is the key to achieving the effect of the utility model. Therefore, the clamping hole 321 can allow the terminal 100 to move in and out freely up and down without any external interference. For this reason, the shielding element 33 can temporarily block the terminal 100 when it enters, so that the terminal 100 stays, and at the same time, the clamping element 32 can stop the downward movement of the terminal 100. When the terminal 100 is confirmed to stop (a sensing element can be set to sense whether the terminal 100 exists), the shielding element 33 needs to be moved away to facilitate the subsequent process of removing the terminal 100 from above.

[0032] Optionally, the two sides of the clamping element 32 are slopes, the top of the slopes intrudes into the clamping hole 321, and the clamping member 322 is an elastic sheet, which is arranged on the slope and extends from the top of the slope into the clamping hole 321. In this solution, the elastic force and the inclined geometric structure of the elastic sheet can just maintain the stability of the terminal 100, and no additional structure clamping is required.

[0033] Optionally, the shielding member includes a shielding slider 331 and a shielding spring 332, the shielding spring 332 is mounted on the shielding slider 331, the shielding slider 331 is connected to the driving end of the shielding driving member, and the shielding spring 332 is driven by the shielding slider 331 to shield the clamping hole 321. The purpose of adopting this solution is to reduce the impact of the terminal 100 on the shielding member to cause damage to the terminal 100, and the elasticity of the shielding spring 332 itself can be used as a buffer.
