[0046] It should be noted that all the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back,...) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0047] In addition, the descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the present application are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0048] For example Figures 1-4A flexible flat cable edge-changing system as shown is used to transfer a flexible flat cable between a first transfer system and a second transfer system, specifically to grasp the flexible flat cable from a fixture 5 on the first transfer system. The flexible flat cable edge-changing system includes a transfer device 1 and a clamping device 3.

[0049] The transfer device 1 transfers the flexible flat cable to the clamping device 3. The transfer device 1 includes a first support 14, an X-axis moving platform 11, and a first jaw mechanism 12. The X-axis moving platform 11 is arranged on the first support 14. The X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The first jaw mechanism 12 is arranged on the X-axis moving platform 11 and is used to grasp the first end of the flexible flat cable from the unloading position of the first transfer system.

[0050] As Figure 7 shown, the clamping device 3 includes a second support, a Y-axis moving platform 31, and a second jaw mechanism 32. The Y-axis moving platform 31 is arranged on the second support. The Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the second jaw mechanism 32 to move along the Y-axis direction and pass through the moving track of the flexible flat cable and the loading position of the second transfer system. The second jaw mechanism 32 is arranged on the Y-axis moving platform 31 and is used to clamp the second end of the transferred flexible flat cable.

[0051] In the previous processing equipment and the subsequent processing equipment, the flexible flat cable is transferred by the first transfer system and the second transfer system respectively. In this embodiment, the transfer device 1 grasps the first end of the flexible flat cable from the unloading position of the first transfer system. The X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction, specifically moving towards the clamping device 3. The second jaw mechanism 32 is arranged on the Y-axis moving platform 31 and is used to clamp the second end of the transferred flexible flat cable, specifically the flexible flat cable transferred by the first jaw mechanism 12. Then, the Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the second jaw mechanism 32 to move to the loading position of the second transfer system. Finally, the second end of the flexible flat cable is loaded onto the second transfer system, thereby completing the transfer and edge-changing of the flexible flat cable between two adjacent processing equipment, enabling the flexible flat cable to be continuously processed at both ends without interruption, reducing the number of operators between two adjacent processing equipment, shortening the production cycle, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0052] In other embodiments of some flexible flat cable edge-changing systems, the flexible flat cable edge-changing system includes a transfer device 1, a transfer device 2, and a clamping device 3.

[0053] The transfer device 1 transfers the flexible flat cable to the transfer intermediate device 2. The transfer device 1 includes a first support 14, an X-axis moving platform 11, and a first jaw mechanism 12. The X-axis moving platform 11 is arranged on the first support 14. The X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The first jaw mechanism 12 is arranged on the X-axis moving platform 11 and is used to grasp the first end of the flexible flat cable at the unloading position of the first conveying system.

[0054] The transfer intermediate device 2 includes a third support 24, an X-axis transfer platform 21, and a third jaw mechanism 22. The X-axis transfer platform 21 is arranged on the third support 24. The X-axis transfer platform 21 is located between the transfer device 1 and the clamping device 3 and is used to drive the third jaw mechanism 22 to move along the X-axis direction. The third jaw mechanism 22 is arranged on the X-axis transfer platform 21 and is located on the moving track of the flexible flat cable and is used to clamp the middle part of the flexible flat cable.

[0055] As Figure 7 shown, the clamping device 3 includes a second support, a Y-axis moving platform 31, and a second jaw mechanism 32. The Y-axis moving platform 31 is arranged on the second support. The Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the second jaw mechanism 32 to move along the Y-axis direction and passes through the moving track of the flexible flat cable and the loading position of the second conveying system. The second jaw mechanism 32 is arranged on the Y-axis moving platform 31 and is used to clamp the second end of the flexible flat cable conveyed by the third jaw mechanism 22.

[0056] In this embodiment, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction. Specifically, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 towards the blanking position of the first conveying system. The first conveying system uses the fixture 5 to clamp the first end of the flexible flat cable. The first jaw mechanism 12 clamps the first end of the flexible flat cable with the first jaw 122 and the fixture 5. Then, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 towards the transfer device 2 until the first jaw mechanism 12 feeds the flexible flat cable into the jaws of the third jaw mechanism 22. The third jaw mechanism 22 clamps the middle part of the flexible flat cable, and the first jaw mechanism 12 releases the flexible flat cable. The X-axis transfer platform 21 drives the flexible flat cable to move along the X-axis towards the clamping device 3 until the third jaw mechanism 22 feeds the flexible flat cable into the jaws of the second jaw mechanism 32. The second jaw mechanism 32 clamps the second end of the flexible flat cable, and the third jaw mechanism 22 releases the flexible flat cable. The Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the flexible flat cable to move upwards along the Y-axis for feeding until the second jaw mechanism 32 feeds the flexible flat cable onto the second conveying system. Therefore, in this embodiment, through the transfer device 1, the transfer device 2, and the clamping device 3, the clamping positions are changed step by step, starting from clamping the first end of the flexible flat cable by the first conveying system and changing to clamping the second end of the flexible flat cable by the second conveying system, reducing the difficulty of changing the side of the flexible flat cable and improving the efficiency of changing the side of the flexible flat cable.

[0057] In an embodiment of a flexible flat cable side-changing system, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the flexible flat cable side-changing system further includes two rotating devices 4. The two rotating devices 4 are respectively arranged at the loading position and the unloading position and are used to rotate the pressing blocks 52 on the fixtures 5 at the corresponding positions. The first conveying system and the second conveying system use the fixture 5 to clamp the flexible flat cable. The fixture 5 is provided with pressing blocks 52 that can rotate arbitrarily to press the flexible flat cable. The rotation devices 4 are required to rotate the pressing blocks 52 for both the loading and unloading of the flexible flat cable.

[0058] When the flexible flat cable is unloaded, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction to the unloading position. The first jaw mechanism 12 clamps the flexible flat cable. Then, the rotating device 4 at the corresponding position rotates the pressing block 52 to release the flexible flat cable from the fixture 5. Then, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move away along the X-axis direction. When the flexible flat cable is loaded, the Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the second jaw mechanism 32 to move along the Y-axis direction so that the flexible flat cable moves to the loading position, specifically to the fixture 5 at the corresponding position. The rotating device 4 at the corresponding position rotates the pressing block 52 to press the flexible flat cable. The second jaw mechanism 32 releases the flexible flat cable. Then, the Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the second jaw mechanism 32 to move away along the Y-axis direction.

[0059] Furthermore, asFigure 8 As shown in the figure, the rotating device 4 includes a fourth bracket 43, a Z-axis lifting mechanism 41, and a rotating mechanism 42. The Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 is arranged on the fourth bracket 43. The Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 is located above the corresponding loading position or unloading position. The rotating mechanism 42 is arranged on the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 and is located above the corresponding pressing block 52, and is used to rotate the pressing block 52 on the fixture 5 at the corresponding position. The Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 drives the rotating mechanism 42 to perform a lifting motion, and the rotating mechanism 42 cooperates with the pressing block 52 on the fixture 5 to drive the pressing block 52 to rotate.

[0060] Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the rotating mechanism 42 includes an upper mounting block 421, a lower mounting block 422, a rotating rod 423, an opening claw 424, and a rotation driving mechanism 425.

[0061] The upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 are arranged on the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41. Specifically, the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 are arranged on the Z-axis lifting block 412, and the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 are arranged side by side vertically. The rotating rod 423 is rotatably arranged on the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422. Specifically, the rotating rod 423 is rotatably connected to the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 through bearings. The opening claw 424 is arranged at the lower end of the rotating rod 423, and an opening adapted to the pressing block 52 of the fixture 5 is provided at the lower part of the opening claw 424. The rotation driving mechanism 425 is connected to the rotating rod 423 to drive the rotating rod 423 to rotate. Specifically, the rotation driving mechanism 425 can be a motor or a cylinder that can output a rotational motion.

[0062] In this embodiment, the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 are arranged side by side vertically on the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41. The rotating rod 423 is rotatably arranged on the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422. The rotation driving mechanism 425 drives the opening claw 424 to perform a rotational motion through the rotating rod 423, so that when the opening claw 424 is adapted to the pressing block 52, the pressing block 52 can be driven to rotate.

[0063] In addition, as Figure 8 shown, the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 includes a Z-axis platform plate 411, a Z-axis lifting block 412, a Z-axis lifting sliding component 413, and a lifting driving mechanism 414.

[0064] The Z-axis lifting block 412 is arranged on the Z-axis platform plate 411 through the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413. The lifting drive mechanism 414 is arranged on the Z-axis platform plate 411. The lifting drive mechanism 414 is connected to the Z-axis lifting block 412 to drive the Z-axis lifting block 412 to perform lifting motion. Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism 414 can be a push rod, a cylinder or a motor screw mechanism, etc. The rotating mechanism 42 is arranged on the Z-axis lifting block 412. Specifically, the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413 includes a guide rail and a slider. The sliding direction of the sliding fit between the guide rail and the slider is the Z-axis direction. The guide rail in the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413 is arranged on the Z-axis platform plate 411, and the slider is arranged on the corresponding guide rail. The Z-axis lifting block 412 is arranged on the slider in the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413. The Z-axis lifting block 412 is arranged on the Z-axis platform plate 411 in a liftable and slidable manner by using the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413, and the Z-axis lifting block 412 is driven to perform lifting motion by using the lifting drive mechanism 414, so as to drive the rotating mechanism 42 to perform lifting motion.

[0065] In some embodiments of the transfer device 1, such as Figure 5 shown, the transfer device 1 further includes a Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 is arranged on the X-axis moving platform 11, and the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 drives the first jaw mechanism 12 to move along the Z-axis direction. Specifically, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can be a push rod, a cylinder or a motor screw mechanism, etc., or other mechanisms capable of outputting linear motion.

[0066] For the first jaw mechanism 12, when it faces the transfer device 2, after the first jaw mechanism 12 grabs the flexible flat cable and moves along the X-axis towards the transfer device 2, the first jaw mechanism 12 needs to avoid the fixture 5. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can raise the position of the first jaw mechanism 12 to avoid the fixture 5 at the blanking position of the first transfer system. When it faces away from the transfer device 2, after the first jaw mechanism 12 grabs the flexible flat cable and moves along the X-axis towards the transfer device 2, and after the third jaw mechanism 22 clamps the flexible flat cable, the first jaw mechanism 12 needs to avoid the third jaw mechanism 22. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can raise the position of the first jaw mechanism 12 to avoid the third jaw mechanism 22.

[0067] In some embodiments of the first jaw mechanism 12, such as Figure 9As shown in the figure, the first jaw mechanism 12 includes a jaw driving mechanism 121, a first jaw 122, a second jaw 123 and a supporting member 124. The first jaw 122 and the second jaw 123 are arranged oppositely, and both the first jaw 122 and the second jaw 123 are connected to the jaw driving mechanism 121. One end of the supporting member 124 is a connecting end, and the other end is a supporting end for supporting the material. The connecting end is connected to the first jaw 122, and the supporting end extends to one side of the first jaw 122. The jaw driving mechanism 121 drives the first jaw 122 and the second jaw 123 to perform opening and closing actions.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the transfer device 1 includes an X-axis moving platform 11, a Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13 and a first jaw mechanism 12. The Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13 outputs a movement in the Z-axis direction, such as a lifting and avoiding movement, and the X-axis moving platform 11 outputs a movement in the X-axis direction. Driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the first jaw mechanism 12 moves in the X-axis and Z-axis directions. The first jaw mechanism 12 can use the first jaw 122 and the second jaw 123 to clamp or grasp the cut flexible flat cable, and at the same time use the supporting member 124 to support at another position of the flexible flat cable. In this way, the overall supporting effect of the large flexible flat cable is increased, and the flexible flat cable is prevented from being overly bent and sagging. In particular, the flexible flat cable can be kept in a relatively straight state between the first jaw 122 and the supporting end, improving the convenience of the transfer system for receiving the flexible flat cable.

[0069] Furthermore, the supporting end is spaced from the first jaw 122, and there is an avoidance area between the supporting end and the first jaw 122. The supporting member 124 is connected to the first jaw 122 to form a U-shaped structure or an approximately U-shaped structure. When the third jaw mechanism 22 clamps the flexible flat cable on the first jaw mechanism 12, the third jaw mechanism 22 is located in the avoidance area, that is, the clamping position of the third jaw mechanism 22 is within the avoidance area. The fixing device for the flexible flat cable during cutting can be fixed by a jig 5 or clamped by jaws. The supporting end is spaced from the first jaw 122 and an avoidance area is provided between the supporting end and the first jaw 122. During the actual transfer of the flexible flat cable, driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the supporting end and the first jaw 122 respectively move to both sides of the fixing device during cutting, forming an avoidance of the fixing device during cutting. When transferring to the transfer system, driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the supporting end and the first jaw 122 respectively move to both sides of the processing jig 5 on the transfer system, forming an avoidance of the processing jig 5.

[0070] Regarding the orientations of the respective jaw mechanisms, the orientation of the first jaw mechanism 12 is opposite to that of the third jaw mechanism 22. The third jaw mechanism 22 faces the clamping device 3. The second jaw mechanism 32 faces the transfer device 2, and the third jaw mechanism 22 and the second jaw mechanism 32 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0071] In some embodiments of the transfer device 2, such as Figure 6 shown, the transfer device 2 further includes a Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 for the third jaw mechanism 22 in the Y-axis position. The Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 is arranged on the X-axis transfer platform 21, and the third jaw mechanism 22 is arranged on the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23.

[0072] The Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 can be a push rod, a cylinder, a linear moving platform, or a motor screw mechanism, etc.

[0073] Of course, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the wire arrangement edge-changing system includes multiple brackets, namely the first bracket 14, the second bracket, the third bracket 24, and the fourth bracket 43. The transfer device 1, the transfer device 2, the clamping device 3, and the rotating device 4, etc. can be respectively provided with the first bracket 14, the second bracket, the third bracket 24, and the fourth bracket 43, and each is provided with a bracket. Of course, any two or more of them can also share a bracket, and the third bracket 24 and the second bracket are the same bracket.

[0074] For the first conveyor system and the second conveyor system, they include multiple fixtures 5. The fixture 5 includes a carrier plate 51 and a pressing block 52. The carrier plate 51 is used to carry or place the flexible flat cable, and the pressing block 52 is arranged on the carrier plate 51 to press the flexible flat cable. More specifically, the pressing block 52 is rotatably connected to the carrier plate 51 through a rotating shaft. Specifically, the rotating shaft is fixed on the carrier plate 51, and the pressing block 52 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. A spring is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the pressing block 52. The spring applies an elastic force to the pressing block 52 to improve the pressing effect of the pressing block 52 on the flexible flat cable.

[0075] Furthermore, in order to prevent the spring from being exposed, a receiving groove can also be provided at the top of the pressing block 52.
