Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connector assembly, in particular to a pin row installation device. Background Art

[0002] Pin headers are generally widely used in the connection of PCB boards and are known as universal connectors. They are generally paired with female headers, wire terminals and other connectors. With the competition in the pin header connector market, some manufacturers now reduce costs by electroplating (imitation gold) and materials (green steel, alloy, etc.), but this also reduces the product's use characteristics and life. This connector is widely used in PCB circuit boards in electronics, electrical appliances, and instruments. Its role is to act as a bridge between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, and to take on the task of current or signal transmission. It is usually used in conjunction with female headers to form a board-to-board connection; or used in conjunction with electronic wiring harness terminals to form a board-to-wire connection; it can also be used independently for board-to-board connection.

[0003] When inserting the pin header into the connector body, some existing pin header installation devices insert the pin header into different positions of the connector body in a rectangular array according to a pre-set program. During this process, the pin header can only insert one pin at a time, which requires the pin header to move frequently and accurately, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In view of this, a pin header installation device is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0009] The third driving assembly is used to drive the top plate to slide on the top surface of the pin header plate toward one side of the processing track, so that the pins on the pin header plate are synchronously pushed toward one side of the processing track.

[0010] Its further characteristic is that

[0011] A conveying groove whose extending direction is consistent with the extending direction of the processing track is opened on one side of the processing track, and the needle row material receiving plate is arranged in the direction facing the conveying groove.

[0012] The top surface and the bottom surface of the conveying groove are both provided with a second clamping groove.

[0013] A plurality of second needle row grooves are arranged in parallel on the top surface of the needle row material receiving plate.

[0014] The needle row installation mechanism also includes a needle row feeding plate and a second driving assembly, one end of the needle row feeding plate is located below the processing track, and a plurality of first needle row grooves corresponding to the second needle row grooves are arranged in parallel on the top surface of the needle row feeding plate;

[0015] The second driving assembly is used to drive the needle row material receiving plate to perform lifting movement.

[0016] The pin row installation mechanism also includes a base, a slide rail is vertically arranged on the base, and the pin row material receiving plate is slidably arranged on the slide rail.

[0017] The second driving component is a second cylinder.

[0018] The third driving component is a third cylinder.

[0019] The processing track is provided with a positioning groove.

The material track changing mechanism 3 is used to move the connector body at the feeding track 2 to the processing track 4, and the material moving mechanism 5 is used to move the connector body on the processing track 4. The two pin row installation mechanisms 6 and the pin row re-pressing mechanism 7 are sequentially arranged on one side of the conveying stroke of the processing track 4. The two pin row installation mechanisms 6 respectively press one end of the two rows of pins into the connector body, and the pin row re-pressing mechanism 7 is used to re-press the two rows of pins on the connector body. In this way, the connector body (such as Figure 1 As shown, the finished connector, including a connector body and two rows of pins, is transported to the material track changing mechanism 3. After the track changing of the material track changing mechanism 3, the connector body enters the processing track 4 (at this time, the pin side of the connector body faces the pin installation mechanism 6 and the pin re-pressing mechanism 7). The moving mechanism 5 moves the connector body on the processing track 4, so that the connector body passes through the two pin installation mechanisms 6 respectively, and is inserted into the two rows of pins respectively. Finally, it passes through the pin re-pressing mechanism 7 for re-pressing, and the two rows of pins are inserted to the specified depth of the connector body. In this process, the degree of automation is high, and there is no need to manually place the connector body at different assembly links. The assembled connector is transported from the processing track 4 to the specified collection position, which improves the assembly efficiency of the connector and reduces labor costs.

[0038] refer to Figure 3-5 As shown, a feeding trough 21 is provided at the top of the feeding track 2, and the extension direction is consistent with the extension direction of the feeding track 2. A third card slot 22 is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough 21. In actual use, the connector body is continuously transported to the feeding trough 21 on the feeding track 2 by a vibration plate arranged at the feeding end of the feeding track 2 (when the connector body is placed in the feeding trough 21, one side of the connector body is in a vertical state, and the one side of the connector body faces the side of the pin installation mechanism 6, and the protruding ring plate on the side of the connector body is clamped in the third card slot 22, ensuring stable transportation of the connector body), and the connector body is continuously supplied to the subsequent assembly link.

In this way, the first drive assembly drives the track changing plate 32 to slide on the mounting seat 31. When receiving materials, the loading end of the track changing groove 321 is aligned with the unloading end of the loading track 2. At this time, the connector body on the loading track 2 slides into the track changing groove 321, and then the unloading end of the track changing groove 321 is aligned with the loading end of the processing track 4. At this time, the connector body in the track changing groove 321 slides into the conveying groove 41 of the processing track 4, and so on and so forth, continuously transferring the connector body on the loading track 2 to the processing track 4, so that the connector body changes from being exposed on one side of the annular surface to being exposed on one side of the pin, which is convenient for subsequent pin assembly.

The extension direction of the slide rail 33 is consistent with the extension direction of the track changing slot 321. When the feeding end of the track changing slot 321 is aligned with the unloading end of the feeding track 2, the end of the limit plate 34 is located in the track changing slot 321, and a limit bolt 36 is provided on the limit plate 34 for limiting the sliding of the limit plate 34. In order to prevent the connector body in the feeding track 2 from directly sliding off the end of the track changing slot 321 away from the feeding track 2 (and to limit the position of the connector body in the track changing slot 321 to ensure that the connector body is in the same position each time it slides into the track changing slot 321), by setting the limit plate 34, when the track changing slot 321 is aligned with the feeding slot 21, the end of the limit plate 34 is placed in the track changing slot In 321, the end position of the connector body is restricted to ensure the consistency of position and facilitate subsequent processing and assembly, and the limiting plate 34 is slidably clamped on the slide rail 33, so that the position of the limiting plate 34 can be adjusted to adapt to the positioning of connector bodies of different specifications, and the limiting bolt 36 passes through the limiting plate 34, so that the limiting bolt 36 can be rotated to fix the position of the limiting plate 34, and in order to prevent the connector body located at the end of the loading trough 21 from sliding directly after the track changing groove 321 leaves the loading trough 21, a baffle 35 is set on the track changing plate 32, when the unloading end of the track changing groove 321 is aligned with the loading end of the processing track 4, the baffle 35 is blocked at the unloading end of the loading track 2, and when the track changing groove 321 leaves the loading trough 21, the baffle 35 moves to the end of the loading trough 21 to block the loading trough 21.

In this way, when the connector body is placed on the pin mounting mechanism 6, the second driving component drives the pin receiving plate 62 to descend to align with the pin loading plate 61, so that the pins on the pin loading plate 61 move to the pin receiving plate 62 (in order to facilitate the positioning of the pins, a second pin row groove 621 is provided on the pin receiving plate 62, and a first pin row groove 611 is provided on the pin loading plate 61, and the pins on the corresponding first pin row groove 611 move to the corresponding second pin row groove 621 , at this time, part of the pin row protrudes from the top surface of the pin row material plate 62), and then the second driving component drives the pin row material plate 62 to move upward to the pin row pin height, and the third driving component drives the top plate 63 to slide on the top surface of the pin row material plate 62 toward one side of the processing track 4, so that the pin row on the pin row material plate 62 is synchronously pushed toward one side of the processing track 4 until it is inserted into the corresponding pin side of the connector body. One row of pins can be inserted at a time, and the processing efficiency is high. The top plate 63 moves less, and the accuracy requirement of the top plate 63 movement is low.
