[0038] In modern industrial production, terminal assembly is a key link in electrical connection, and its efficiency and quality directly affect the smoothness of the entire production process and the reliability of the product. Traditionally, terminal assembly mainly relies on manual operation, which makes it difficult to ensure consistent assembly accuracy each time, especially for the positioning and fixing of tiny components. Manual errors are difficult to avoid, which directly affects the quality and stability of the terminal's electrical connection.

[0039] The utility model provides a terminal assembly machine.

[0040] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the terminal assembly machine 100 is used to convey the terminal 01 to the target product, and the terminal assembly machine 100 includes:

[0041] Rack 1;

[0042] The movable mechanism 2 includes a movable block 21 and a fixed plate 22. The movable block 21 is movably arranged on the frame 1. The fixed plate 22 is fixedly arranged on a side of the movable block 21 away from the frame 1. A carrier plate 23 is arranged on a side of the fixed plate 22 away from the movable block 21. The carrier plate 23 is protruded toward the outside of the fixed plate 22 and is formed with a mounting groove for placing the terminal 01; and

[0043] The driving mechanism 3 is disposed on the frame 1 , and is drivingly connected to the movable block 21 to drive the movable block 21 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the frame 1 .

[0044] In the technical solution of the utility model, the terminal assembly machine 100 can efficiently convey the terminal 01 to the target product through the cooperation of the movable mechanism 2 and the driving mechanism 3; the movable block 21 makes a linear reciprocating motion along the frame 1, ensuring the continuous supply of the terminal 01 and greatly improving the conveying efficiency of the production line. When it is necessary to assemble the terminal 01 into the target product, first place the terminal 01 in the installation groove, and drive the movable block 21 to move in the direction close to the target product under the action of the driving mechanism 3 until the terminal 01 is transported to the installation hole in the target product for assembly; when the assembly of the terminal 01 is completed, it is only necessary to drive the movable block 21 in the direction away from the target product under the action of the driving mechanism 3 to prepare for the assembly of the next terminal 01, thus realizing reciprocating assembly. In addition, the carrier plate 23 for installing the terminal 01 is protruded from the outside of the fixed plate 22, which can facilitate the matching of the terminal 01 with the target product and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0045] Specifically, there is no specific limitation on the arrangement of the carrier plate 23. For example, it can be integrally formed with the fixed plate 22, or it can be a long plate separately arranged on the fixed plate 22, as long as it has a protruding end protruding from the outside of the fixed plate 22 and a mounting groove is provided on the protruding end, so that the terminal 01 can be stably assembled in the mounting groove. Optionally, only a part of the terminal 01 is arranged in the mounting groove, and most of the terminal 01 protrudes from the carrier plate 23, so that the terminal 01 can be inserted into the mounting hole on the target product. There is no specific limitation on the type of the driving mechanism 3. For example, it can be a gear rack mechanism, in which the rack is arranged on the movable block 21, and the gear rotation drives the rack to perform linear reciprocating motion, thereby driving the movable block 21 to perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2, one end of the terminal 01 is placed on the carrier plate 23; the terminal assembly machine 100 also includes a positioning mechanism 4, which is slidably connected to the fixing plate 22, and abuts against the side of the carrier plate 23 facing the frame 1, and is used to fix the other end of the terminal 01. Specifically, the positioning mechanism 4 can keep the suspended end of the terminal 01 fixed during the assembly process to prevent the terminal 01 from shifting during transportation or assembly, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the position of the terminal 01 before reaching the target product. It should be pointed out that the shape of the positioning mechanism 4 is not specifically limited, for example, it can include a positioning block that is compatible with the bottom surface of the terminal 01.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the positioning mechanism 4 comprises:

[0048] The positioning plate 41 is abutted against a side of the carrier plate 23 facing the frame 1, and the positioning plate 41 forms a storage space for placing the terminal 01;

[0049] A positioning seat 42 having a cavity formed therein, the positioning seat 42 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 41 and is slidably connected to the fixing plate 22; and

[0050] The limiting plate 43 is movably arranged in the cavity, and a limiting clamp 431 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 43 facing the carrier plate 23 . The limiting clamp 431 penetrates the positioning seat 42 and the positioning plate 41 and extends into the storage space, and the limiting clamp 431 is used to clamp the terminal 01 .

[0051] Specifically, the positioning plate 41 is closely attached to the side of the carrier plate 23 facing the frame 1, and is used to provide a stable support surface to ensure the correct position of the terminal 01 during the assembly process. A limiting clamp 431 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 43 facing the carrier plate 23, and the limiting clamp 431 penetrates the positioning seat 42 and the positioning plate 41 and extends into the storage space. The function of the limiting clamp 431 is to clamp the terminal 01 to prevent it from moving in the horizontal direction during the assembly process. When the driving mechanism 3 drives the fixed plate 22 to move close to the target product, the limiting clamp 431 on the limiting plate 43 extends into the storage space and clamps the terminal 01. When the end of the terminal 01 contacts the target product, the driving mechanism 3 drives the movable block 21 to continue to move forward, and the positioning seat 42 receives pressure and slides in the direction away from the target product. The limiting plate 43 moves downward so that the limiting clamp 431 releases the terminal 01, and the terminal 01 enters the interior of the target product under the drive of the carrier plate 23 to achieve assembly. Subsequently, the driving mechanism 3 drives the movable block 21 to move in a direction away from the target product and return to the initial position, so as to prepare for the next terminal 01 assembly work.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the positioning mechanism 4 also includes:

[0053] The driving plate 44 extends into the cavity and is drivingly connected to the limiting plate 43 to drive the limiting plate 43 to move closer to or away from the terminal 01; and

[0054] The telescopic cylinder 45 has a fixed end disposed outside the positioning seat 42 , and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the driving plate 44 .

[0055] Specifically, the piston rod on the telescopic cylinder 45 can drive the movement of the driving plate 44, and the extension or retraction of the driving plate 44 drives the limit plate 43 to move up and down in the cavity, so as to achieve the clamping or release of the terminal 01 by the limit clamp 431. Optionally, the driving plate 44 can be provided with an inclined surface interconnected with the limit plate 43 to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the limit plate 43; that is, when the piston rod drives the driving plate 44 to retract, the limit plate 43 moves downward, so that the limit clamp 431 is separated from the contact with the terminal 01, so as to facilitate the installation of the terminal 01 into the target product; when the piston rod drives the driving plate 44 to extend, the limit plate 43 moves upward, so that the limit clamp 431 abuts on the two opposite sides of the terminal 01 to fix the terminal 01 and prevent it from sliding in the horizontal direction.

[0056] In the embodiment of the utility model, the positioning mechanism 4 also includes a first elastic member, which is arranged in the cavity, and the two ends of the first elastic member are respectively connected to the limit plate 43 and the cavity wall of the cavity. The first elastic member can be a spring. When the driving plate 44 pulls the limit plate 43 to make it descend to complete the release operation of the terminal 01 in the current storage space, the first elastic member will automatically restore its shape due to its elastic characteristics, thereby pushing the limit plate 43 to reset and rise, and then clamp the next terminal 01 in the storage space. Since the limit plate 43 can be automatically reset, the operator does not need to make additional adjustments, which simplifies the operation process and improves assembly efficiency.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3The terminal assembly machine 100 also includes a second elastic member 5, one end of which is connected to the fixed plate 22, and the other end of which is connected to the positioning mechanism 4. The second elastic member 5 can be a spring, and multiple springs can be arranged at intervals, and the multiple springs are evenly arranged so that the positioning seat 42 can always be in a state of being abutted by the spring; when the end of the terminal 01 contacts the target product, the driving mechanism 3 drives the movable block 21 to continue to move forward, and the positioning seat 42 receives the pressure of the target product and slides in the direction away from the target product, thereby compressing the second elastic member 5, thereby losing the supporting effect of the positioning plate 41 on the terminal 01, and installing the terminal 01 into the target product; after the assembly is completed, the driving mechanism 3 drives the movable block 21 to move backward, at which time the positioning seat 42 loses the squeezing force of the target product, and the second elastic member 5 recovers under the action of its own elastic force, returns to the bottom of the carrier plate 23, and is used to fix the next terminal 01, thereby realizing the continuous assembly of the terminal 01.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 The movable mechanism 2 further includes a support plate 24, which is disposed on the side of the fixed plate 22 facing the frame 1, and forms a slide rail with the fixed plate 22, along which the positioning mechanism 4 performs linear reciprocating motion. The slide rail between the support plate 24 and the fixed plate 22 provides a precise guide path for the positioning mechanism 4, reduces the shaking and offset of the positioning mechanism 4 during the movement, and ensures the accuracy of the positioning mechanism 4 in the linear reciprocating motion. Optionally, two support plates 24 are provided below the fixed plate 22 to form two opposite slide rails for respectively supporting two opposite sides of the positioning seat 42.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The terminal assembly machine 100 further includes a clamping mechanism 6, which is rotatably connected to the carrier plate 23 and is used to clamp the terminal 01 on the carrier plate 23. The clamping mechanism 6 can apply uniform pressure to the terminal 01 on the carrier plate 23 to ensure that the terminal 01 is firmly fixed at a specified position during the assembly process to prevent it from being displaced during movement or assembly. Through the multiple fixation of the clamping mechanism 6, the limit clamp 431 and the mounting groove, the terminal 01 is clamped and fixed in all directions.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2The clamping mechanism 6 includes a flip plate 61, which is rotatably disposed on the carrier plate 23 and located on one side of the mounting groove, and is used to cover the top of the mounting groove to clamp the terminal 01 in the mounting groove. Specifically, the flip plate 61 is rotatably disposed on the carrier plate 23 and is located on one side of the mounting groove. Its main function is to cover the top of the mounting groove during the assembly process, thereby clamping the terminal 01 in the mounting groove to ensure that the terminal 01 will not shift when the movable mechanism 2 approaches the target product. In addition, while clamping the terminal 01, the flip plate 61 helps to maintain the flatness of the terminal 01, prevents the terminal 01 from bending or deforming during the assembly process, and ensures the assembly quality of the terminal 01.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 The terminal assembly machine 100 further includes a flip cylinder 62, the fixed end of which is disposed on the side of the fixed plate 22 away from the frame 1, and the telescopic end of the flip cylinder 62 is drivingly connected to the flip plate 61. The flip cylinder 62, as a power source, directly drives the flip plate 61 to rotate through the movement of its telescopic end, thereby realizing the clamping operation of the terminal 01 in the installation slot. In addition, the flip cylinder 62 can adjust its telescopic force and the gap between the clamping plate and the terminal 01 according to different types and sizes of the terminal 01, thereby providing precise clamping force control to ensure the quality of the terminal 01 assembly.

[0062] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
