Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of terminal block assembly, and in particular to a terminal block feeding structure for fully automatic plugging of terminal blocks. Background Art

[0002] Terminal blocks are electrical devices used to connect and distribute power or signals. They are widely used in power systems, automation control systems, instrumentation systems, communication networks, etc. By using terminal blocks, wiring can be made more beautiful and maintenance more convenient, especially when connecting long-distance lines, the connection is more reliable, and construction and maintenance are more convenient.

[0003] In the related art, the terminal block is mainly composed of a base and wiring terminals. In order to improve assembly efficiency, an automatic feeding system (such as a robotic arm) is usually used to accurately transport the wiring terminals from the storage area to the predetermined assembly position and place them on the base. However, each time the robotic arm fixes a terminal, the base needs to be moved to move the next cavity to be installed to the predetermined position. In order to achieve this function, a driving structure of a motor, a polished rod and a lead screw is often used. The slider is slidably connected to the polished rod and the lead screw at the same time, and the base is fixed to the slider by bolts or a clamping structure, so that the base can slide along the direction of the polished rod to achieve automatic feeding.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the disassembly and assembly process between the base and the slider is relatively complicated, and sometimes tools (such as screwdrivers) are required, which is time-consuming and affects the overall assembly efficiency, and there is room for improvement.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mechanical claw places the terminal on the terminal seat, the terminal seat is slid in the direction close to the blocking rod, and the terminal that has just been installed is pressed against one side of the blocking rod, and then the installed terminal is pressed against the previously installed terminal, and finally the terminal seat is reset, and the mechanical claw continues to install the terminal; the terminals on the terminal seat are made more compact during the installation process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the terminal row.

[0017] Optionally, a blocking block is fixedly provided on the processing table, and a blocking notch is provided on the blocking block for the blocking rod to be rotatably inserted therein.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the terminal on the terminal seat at the bottom of the blocking rod abuts against the limit position, the blocking rod rotates to the inside of the blocking notch on the blocking block, thereby improving the installation stability of the blocking rod when blocking the terminal.

[0019] Optionally, the blocking block is provided with a first guiding slope on the upper edge of the blocking gap.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the setting of the first guiding inclined surface, it is convenient to rotate the first guiding inclined surface of the blocking rod and place it into the blocking notch on the blocking block.

[0021] Optionally, a second guiding slope is provided on the side edge of the blocking rod facing the blocking block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the provision of the second guiding inclined surface, it is convenient to rotate the blocking rod and place it into the blocking notch on the blocking block.
