[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic material distribution structure corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the utility model includes: a feed guide rail 100, suitable for guiding the flow of the connector 500; a flow guide rail 200, suitable for guiding the flow of the connector 500, the feed end of the flow guide rail 200 is connected to the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100, and the bearing surface of the flow guide rail 200 is higher than the bearing surface of the feed guide rail 100; a lifting component 300, located at the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100; a conveying component 400, located at the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100; wherein, the lifting component 300 is suitable for lifting the connector 500 at the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100, and the conveying component 400 is suitable for inputting the connector 500 in a lifted state into the flow guide rail 200.

[0037] By adopting the above-mentioned structure, the utility model has the bearing surface of the feed guide rail 100 lower than the bearing surface of the circulation guide rail 200, so that the connector 500 moved to the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100 is blocked by the feed end of the circulation guide rail 200, thereby preventing the connector 500 from continuously entering the circulation guide rail 200 and moving to the processing station; by arranging the lifting component 300 and the conveying component 400, the lifting component 300 can lift the connector 500 at the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100, and then input the connector 500 in the lifting state into the circulation guide rail 200 through the conveying component 400, thereby realizing the material distribution of the connector 500, facilitating the subsequent transportation and placement of the connector 500, and improving the compatibility and processing efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the feed guide rail 100 is recessed inward from its top surface to form a first guide groove 110 , which is matched with the connector 500 . The first guide groove 110 extends along the length direction of the feed guide rail 100 and passes through both ends of the feed guide rail 100 .

[0039] The length direction of the circulation guide rail 200 is consistent with the length direction of the feed guide rail 100. The circulation guide rail 200 is recessed from its top surface to form a second guide groove 210, which is matched with the plug-in component 500. The second guide groove 210 extends along the length direction of the circulation guide rail 200 and passes through both ends of the circulation guide rail 200. The groove bottom of the second guide groove 210 is higher than the groove bottom of the first guide groove 110 to form a step to block the plug-in component 500.

[0040] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 300 includes a lifting drive 310 and a lifting rod 320, wherein the lifting drive 310 is arranged below the feed guide rail 100, and the lifting rod 320 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive 310. The feed guide rail 100 is provided with a lifting hole 111 at the bottom of its discharge end, specifically, from the bottom of the feed guide rail 100 to the bottom of the first guide groove 110, and is preferably located in the middle area of ​​the first guide groove 110 in the width direction. The projection of the connector 500 at the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100 in the vertical direction covers the lifting hole 111. The lifting drive member 310 can be a linear cylinder or electric cylinder arranged along the vertical direction. In this embodiment, a linear cylinder is preferably used. The lifting rod 320 is suitable for extending into the lifting hole 111 under the drive of the lifting drive member 310, and extending out of the bottom of the first guide groove 110 along the lifting hole 111 to lift the connector 500.

[0041] Preferably, the lifting rod 320 is suitable for lifting the side of the connector 500 close to the flow guide rail 200 so that the height of this side is higher than the bottom height of the second guide groove 210, and the remaining part is carried in the first guide groove 110, so that when the lifting rod 320 is lifted, the lifting rod 320 has a smaller size and a simpler structure.

[0042] Further, the first guide groove 110 is provided with a first notch 112 on the side of the discharge end, and the second guide groove 210 is provided with a second notch 211 on the side of the feed end, and the conveying assembly 400 is at least partially placed at the first notch 112 and the second notch 211 to push the plug-in component 500. The first notch 112 and the second notch 211 are preferably located on the same side to facilitate the arrangement of the conveying assembly 400 and make the conveying assembly 400 more compact.

[0043] The conveying assembly 400 includes a conveying drive 410, a driving wheel 420, a driven wheel 430 and a conveying belt 440. The conveying drive 410 is specifically a rotating motor. The driving wheel 420 is connected to the output end of the conveying drive 410. There are several driven wheels 430, and at least one is located at the first notch 112 and the second notch 211. The conveying belt 440 is wound around the driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430, and is suitable for contacting the connector 500 at the discharge end of the first guide groove 110, and under the drive of the conveying drive 410, the connector 500 is pushed from the first guide groove 110 to the second guide groove 210.

[0044] In this embodiment, the number of driven wheels 430 is specifically three, two of which are arranged side by side at intervals along the length direction of the feed guide rail 100 and / or the circulation guide rail 200, and are respectively located at the first notch 112 and the second notch 211, and another driven wheel 430 is arranged adjacent to the driving wheel 420, and is located between the driving wheel 420 and the other two driven wheels 430, so as to tension the conveying belt 440, so that the conveying drive 410 can be arranged away from the feed guide rail 100 and the circulation guide rail 200, thereby improving the convenience of installation.

[0045] Furthermore, the automatic material distribution structure includes a limiting guide rail 600 disposed above the feed guide rail 100 and / or the circulation guide rail 200, and the length direction of the limiting guide rail 600 is consistent with the length direction of the feed guide rail 100 and / or the circulation guide rail 200. The projection of the limiting guide rail 600 in the vertical direction at least covers the discharge end of the feed guide rail 100 and the feed end of the circulation guide rail 200, and the limiting guide rail 600 is suitable for limiting the plug-in component 500 in the vertical direction to improve the reliability of the plug-in component 500 during the lifting process.

[0046] Preferably, the limiting guide rail 600 is recessed inward from its bottom to form a third guide groove 610, and the third guide groove 610 extends along the length direction of the limiting guide rail 600 and passes through both ends thereof. The top of the connector 500 is embedded in the third guide groove 610 to guide the connector 500 to move along the length direction of the third guide groove 610.

[0047] Since the first guide groove 110 has poor guiding performance on the sides in the width direction when the connector 500 in the first guide groove 110 is lifted upward, the position limiting guide rail 600 with the above-mentioned structure can ensure that the connector 500 is always in a reliably guided state, making it easier for the conveying assembly 400 to convey the connector 500.

[0048] Furthermore, the automatic material distribution structure further includes a material pushing assembly 700, which is suitable for pushing the plug-in component 500 to move along the circulation guide rail 200 to flow into or out of the processing station. The material pushing assembly 700 can use a linear drive member in conjunction with a push block to push the plug-in component 500, which is not limited in the present invention, and since the plug-in component 500 flowing into the circulation guide rail 200 is in a material distribution state, there is enough space around the plug-in component 500 for the material pushing assembly 700 to push, making it very convenient for the material pushing assembly 700 to push the plug-in component 500.

[0049] The working process of the automatic material dividing structure of the utility model is as follows: the connector 500 after crimping the wire harness flows out from the processing equipment into the feed guide rail 100, and is moved closely to the discharge end through the transfer structure; when the connector 500 located at the head is at the discharge end, it is positioned by the step between the feed guide rail 100 and the flow guide rail 200, the lifting component 300 lifts part of the connector 500, and then the conveying component 400 pushes the connector 500 to move it to the flow guide rail 200; then the pushing component 700 pushes the connector 500 on the flow guide rail 200 to the processing station for anti-stupid point cutting operation, and then it is pushed to the discharge end through the pushing component 700. During this process, the connector 500 on the feed guide rail 100 can continue to be conveyed to the flow guide rail 200 as needed.

[0050] The above description is only an implementation method of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
