Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connector processing, in particular to a connector direction recognition rotation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] When assembling some existing connectors, the connector needle needs to be inserted into the hole of the mold strip. In the past, manual pin insertion was used, which had low assembly efficiency. However, since the mold strip has multiple sockets, manual pin insertion often leads to missing or reverse insertion, which affects the quality of subsequent product processing.

[0003] In addition, some special connectors require multiple connector needles to be inserted into the mold strip in different directions, which is difficult to achieve with existing automated equipment and can only be assembled manually, with low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and solve at least one technical problem raised in the background technology, the utility model proposes a connector direction recognition and rotation mechanism which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers and meet the requirements of different products.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] A connector recognition rotation mechanism comprises a transverse slide rail, a servo motor, a transverse sliding seat, a support, a positioning strip, a reversing cylinder, a rack, a gear and a rotating shaft. The transverse sliding seat is slidably connected to the transverse slide rail and is connected to the servo motor. The servo motor can drive the transverse sliding seat to slide horizontally along the transverse slide rail. The support is fixed on the transverse sliding seat. The positioning strip is fixed to the top of the support. One side of the positioning strip is provided with a plurality of positioning notches for the connector to be embedded. The rack is slidably connected in the support and is connected to the reversing cylinder. There are multiple gears, which are rotatably connected in the support and meshed with the rack. A rotating shaft is fixed on the top of the gear. The top of the rotating shaft extends into the positioning notch and is provided with a notch groove which can be plugged into the bottom end of the connector. The reversing cylinder can drive each rotating shaft to rotate through the rack, so that the connector and the rotating shaft are correspondingly plugged and rotated to the required angle.

[0007] In order to ensure the stability of the connector when the positioning bar moves, a blocking bar capable of preventing the connector from falling out of the positioning notch is provided on one side of the positioning bar.

[0008] In order to accurately sense whether the connector has entered the positioning notch, a guide block is fixed on the baffle bar, which allows a single connector to pass through and enter the positioning notch, and a photoelectric switch is arranged at one end of the guide block.

[0009] In order to realize the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating shaft, the reversing cylinder includes a first reversing cylinder and a second reversing cylinder. The first reversing cylinder and the second reversing cylinder are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the racks.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the connector recognition rotation mechanism can rotate the connector sent by the feeding mechanism in a forward or reverse direction, so that it rotates to a corresponding angle, thereby facilitating the subsequent installation of the connector into sockets of different types or with different requirements, meeting a variety of processing needs, having strong versatility, a high degree of automation, and greatly improving processing efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0014] like Figure 1 , Figure 2A connector recognition rotation mechanism shown in the figure includes a transverse slide rail 2, a servo motor 1, a transverse slide seat 3, a support 12, a positioning bar 4, a first reversing cylinder 5, a second reversing cylinder 9, a rack 13, a gear 10 and a rotating shaft 11. The transverse slide seat 3 is slidably connected to the transverse slide rail 2 and connected to the servo motor 1. The servo motor 1 can drive the transverse slide seat 3 to slide horizontally along the transverse slide rail 2. The support 12 is fixed on the transverse slide seat 3. The positioning bar 4 is fixed on the top of the support 12. One side of the positioning bar 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning notches for the connector 14 to be embedded. The rack 13 is slidably connected in the support 12 and is respectively connected to the first reversing cylinder 5 and the second reversing cylinder 9. The gear 10 has multiple gears 10, which are rotatably connected in the support 12 and meshed with the rack 13. A rotating shaft 11 is fixed at the top of the gear 10. The top of the rotating shaft 11 extends into the positioning notch and is provided with a notch groove that can be plugged into the bottom of the connector 14. The first reversing cylinder 5 and the second reversing cylinder 9 can drive each gear 10 and the rotating shaft 11 to rotate forward or reverse through the rack 13, so that the connector 14 and the rotating shaft 11 are correspondingly plugged and rotated to the required angle. In addition, a stopper bar 6 is provided on the opposite side of the positioning bar 4 to prevent the connector 14 from falling out of the positioning notch. The stopper bar 6 abuts against the positioning bar 4. A guide block 7 is provided on the stopper bar 6 to allow a single connector 14 to pass through.

The connector 14 at the end of the guide block 7 is pushed into one of the positioning notches of the positioning bar 4. The photoelectric switch 8 senses whether the connector 14 is in place, and the servo motor 1 drives the transverse sliding seat 3 and the positioning bar 4 to slide horizontally along the transverse slide rail 2, so that the other connector 14 enters the other positioning notch, so that the connectors 14 are embedded in each positioning notch of the positioning bar 4, and the blocking bar 6 can block the connector 14 from falling off from the positioning notch; when the positioning bar 4 is full of connectors 14, the first reversing cylinder 5 and the second reversing cylinder 9 drive each gear 10 and the rotating shaft 11 to rotate forward or reverse through the rack 13, so that the connector 14 and the rotating shaft 11 are correspondingly plugged in and rotated to the required angle, completing the directional rotation of the connector 14; the subsequent robot can grab the connector 14 and plug it into the corresponding socket to complete the assembly.
