[0034] In one embodiment, the base 11, the workbench 12 and the support portion 13 are all integrally formed. In another embodiment, the workbench 12 is mounted on the support portion 13. Specifically, the support portion 13 and the workbench 12 are respectively provided with a guide rail 131 and a guide boss 123 that cooperate with each other on one side close to each other.

Optionally, a plurality of first fixing holes 711 are formed at intervals on one end of the press rod 4 close to the first limit block 71, and the distance of the first limit block 71 relative to the workbench 12 in the initial state of the press-fitting device can be adjusted, so as to adjust the maximum downward stroke of the press rod 4, thereby avoiding fracturing of the electrical connector.

[0038] See also Figure 3 The above-mentioned press-fitting device also includes a press head assembly 5 connected to the press rod 4. By replacing the press head assembly 5, different electrical connectors can be further adapted. Furthermore, the press head assembly 5 includes a first press head 51 and a second press head 52 fixedly connected to each other, and the first press head 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the press rod 4 close to the base 11 through a fastener. The first press head 51 is preferably made of a metal material with a certain hardness such as steel, and the second press head 52 is preferably made of a material with a certain elasticity and flexibility such as polyurethane. When contacting the electrical connector, the first press head 51 ensures pressure while the second press head 52 plays a certain buffering role to prevent excessive pressure from fracturing the electrical connector.

[0039] In one embodiment, the second pressing head 52 can be fixed to the end of the first pressing head 51 close to the base 11 by adhesive bonding or other connection methods in the prior art. In another embodiment, the second pressing head 52 can also be fixedly connected to the first pressing head 51 by fasteners.

[0040] Preferably, the press-fitting device further comprises a pressure sensor 8 for monitoring the pressure on the second press head 52, and the pressure sensor 8 is sandwiched between the first press head 51 and the second press head 52.

Optionally, the press-fitting device further comprises a digital display switch electrically connected to the pressure sensor 8, which is used to display the pressure applied by the press head assembly 5 in real time during the press-fitting process, and to issue a reminder when the pressure exceeds the set range, so as to further avoid fracturing the electrical connector.

[0041] During press-fitting, the driving member 3 drives the transmission member 2 to rotate, driving the pressure rod 4 to move relative to the workbench 12 toward the base 11. When the second pressure head 52 contacts the surface of the electrical connector, as the pressure rod 4 continues to move, the second pressure head 52 abuts against the electrical connector. Since the second pressure head 52 is made of elastic and flexible materials such as polyurethane, the second pressure head 52 is deformed and abuts against the pressure sensor 8, thereby monitoring the pressure on the second pressure head 52 in real time, that is, the pressure applied to the electrical connector. When the pressure exceeds the set range, an alarm is issued through a digital display switch, etc., to prevent the electrical connector from being fractured.

Optionally, there are four fixing blocks 91, which are enclosed outside the electrical connector, and the number of fixing blocks 91 can also be three or more according to the outer contour of the electrical connector, and is used to fix the electrical connector to a position corresponding to the axis of the press head assembly 5, so as to ensure uniform press-fitting and thus improve product consistency.

[0045] Preferably, the quick-change assembly further includes a handle 93 and a fixing member 92. The handle 93 may be one or more, preferably, there are two handles 93 connected to two opposite sides of the quick-change table 9 for easy handling. The fixing member 92 may be a fastener such as a bolt, or may be a fast-locking clamp or knob in the prior art, which is easy to install and remove.
