[0042] Reference Example Figures 1 to 7 An automated device for a grounding cover, comprising a frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a conveying component 2, a cutting component 3, a pushing component 4, and a waste collection component 5. The frame 1 is provided with a groove 11 through which the grounding cover tape can pass. The frame 1 is provided with a lower cutter head 12. The groove 11 is provided with a fixed block 6 that can move up and down and acts on the grounding cover tape to press the grounding cover against the top of the groove 11 for fixing the grounding cover; The conveying component 2 abuts against the grounding cover tape and makes a telescopic movement to transport the grounding cover tape above the lower cutter head 12; The cutting component 3 moves in the direction of the lower cutter head 12 to separate the grounding cover from the tape, abuts against the lower cutter head 12, and adsorbs the cut grounding cover; The pushing component 4 is installed on one side of the cutting component 3 and is fixedly connected to the cutting component 3 to transport the cutting component 3 above the connector; The waste collection component 5 is located at the end of the groove 11. The waste collection component 5 presses down on both sides of the tape so that the tape passes through the waste collection component 5 at an inclined angle.
[0043] It is worth mentioning that both sides of the top of the groove 11 are provided with limiting through holes 111, and a relief through hole 112 is provided in the middle of the top of the groove 11. The lower cutter head 12 is fixed at the bottom of the relief through hole 112. The lower cutter head 12 is provided with an inclined surface 121. An avoidance through hole 113 is provided at the end of the groove 11. The limiting through holes 111 limit the movement range of the pushing block 23. The relief through hole 112 facilitates the clamping block 33 to pass through the relief through hole 112 and apply a downward pressure to the grounding cover. The avoidance through hole 113 provides a guiding function for the guiding plate 54. The inclined surface 121 avoids the tongue of the grounding cover;
[0044] It is worth mentioning that the frame 1 is provided with a guide rail 13, which is located above the groove 11 and is used in cooperation with the slider 31;
[0045] It is worth mentioning that the fixed block 6 is provided with an acting part 61 that acts on the grounding cover tape. A spring can be placed inside the fixed block 6. The elastic force of the spring is applied to the fixed block 6, so that the fixed block 6 has an upward acting force, and the elastic force is applied to the grounding cover tape through the acting part 61;
[0046] It is worth mentioning that the conveying component 2 includes a first cylinder 21 and a movable plate 22. The first cylinder 21 is fixed on one side of the frame 1. The piston rod of the first cylinder 21 is connected to the movable plate 22. The movable plate 22 is slidably arranged on the outer top of the groove 11. The movable plate 22 is provided with a rotatable pushing block 23 that passes through the limiting through hole 111. The pushing block 23 is provided with a pushing part 231 that enters the hole of the grounding cover tape. The movable plate 22 provides a support point for the pushing block 23. The pushing block 23 is set to be rotatable to facilitate the pushing part 231 to leave the hole of the grounding cover tape when the piston rod of the first cylinder 21 retracts;
[0047] It is worth mentioning that the cutting component 3 includes a slider 31 and a second cylinder 32. The slider 31 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 13. The second cylinder 32 is fixedly installed on the slider 31. A clamping block 33 is provided on the piston rod of the second cylinder 32. The clamping block 33 is provided with a first through hole 331 for fitting the shape of the grounding cover. The first through hole 331 is provided with an adsorption part 332. The first through hole 331 serves to increase the contact area with the grounding cover when cutting the grounding cover. The adsorption part 332 has continuously outwardly suctioned air, thereby adsorbing the grounding cover on the adsorption part 332.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the pushing component 4 includes a third cylinder 41 and a limit buffer rod 42. The third cylinder 41 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide rail 13. The limit buffer rod 42 is fixedly installed at the other end of the guide rail 13. The piston rod of the third cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the slider 31. The third cylinder 41 provides a driving force for the slider 31. The limit buffer rod 42 buffers the rapid movement of the slider 31 to prevent the grounding cover on the adsorption part 332 from detaching after the slider 31 collides violently.
[0049] It is worth mentioning that the waste collection component 5 includes a fourth cylinder 51, a support block 52, a linkage plate 53, a guide plate 54, and a material cover 55. The fourth cylinder 51 is hinged to the bottom of the frame 1. The guide plate 54 is slidably arranged in the avoidance through hole 113. The guide plate 54 is provided with a chamfer 541. Both sides of the chamfer 541 are provided with contact surfaces 542. Both sides of the guide plate 54 are provided with limit parts 543. The support block 52 is fixedly installed on the outer bottom of the end of the groove 11. The linkage plate 53 is pivotally arranged on the support block 52. One end of the linkage plate 53 is connected to the guide plate 54, and the other end is hinged to the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 51. The material cover 55 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 at an inclined angle. The material cover 55 is provided with a waste channel 551 and faces the chamfer 541. The chamfer 541 provides a guiding effect for the bent material tape. The contact surface 542 mainly provides a downward pressure on the material tape. The limit part 543 limits the downward pressing distance of the guide plate 54. The force of the fourth cylinder 51 is transmitted to the guide plate 54 through the linkage plate 53, so that the guide plate 54 makes an upward or downward movement. The waste tape enters the waste bin through the waste channel 551.
[0050] Now, the working principle of the present utility model is described as follows:
[0051] When the piston rod of the first cylinder 21 retracts, the pushing block 23 rotates, and then the head of the pushing part 231 moves upward, causing the pushing part 231 to move out of the hole of the grounding cover strip and move towards the hole of the grounding cover strip at the rear. Since the acting part 61 presses the grounding cover strip against the top of the groove 11, at this time, the grounding cover strip will not move backward. After the piston rod of the first cylinder 21 retracts to the in-place position, the pushing part 231 enters the hole of the grounding cover strip. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 21 extends, the driving force of the pushing part 231 is greater than the force exerted by the acting part 61 on the grounding cover strip, causing the grounding cover strip to move forward;
[0052] When the grounding cover strip is above the lower cutter head 12, the piston rod of the second cylinder 32 extends and drives the clamping block 33 to press down. After the clamping block 33 abuts against the grounding cover, it continues to sink and applies sufficient pressure to the grounding cover. The downward pressure exceeds the connection strength between the grounding cover and the strip, so that it breaks at the pre-cut part, enabling the clamping block 33 to obtain a single grounding cover. At this time, since the adsorption part 332 has not yet fully generated sufficient suction force on the grounding cover, the clamping block 33 will continue to sink until the abutting cover fully abuts against the lower cutter head 12. After the adsorption part 332 fully adsorbs the grounding cover, the piston rod of the second cylinder 32 retracts;
[0053] The piston rod of the third cylinder 41 extends, pushing the slider 31 towards the direction of the limit buffer rod 42 until it abuts against it. Then the piston rod of the second cylinder 32 extends, buckling the grounding cover onto the connector. After completing the assembly task, the cutting assembly 3 and the pushing part 231 return to their original positions;
[0054] The piston rod of the fourth cylinder 51 extends, and the force it exerts is transmitted to the guide plate 54 through the linkage plate 53, causing the guide plate 54 to move downward, so that the contact surface 542 abuts against both sides of the strip without the grounding cover, bending the strip. The bending angle fits the inclination angle of the chamfer 541. Immediately afterwards, the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 51 returns, and the strip passes through the chamfer 541 and enters the waste channel 551.
[0055] Through the above design scheme, the product can achieve the advantages of overall volume reduction, production efficiency improvement, and convenient waste collection.
[0056] The above content further elaborates on the present utility model in combination with specific embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model pertains, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, which should all be regarded as falling within the protection scope determined by the claims submitted for the present utility model.
