[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a crimping device for a vehicle-mounted TSN communication cable terminal connector, including a workbench 1 and a sliding plate 12. A carrier plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the workbench 1. Columns 4 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top wall of the carrier plate 3. A cross beam 5 is fixedly connected between the adjacent sides of the two columns 4. A slider 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the cross beam 5. A heating tank 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the slider 6. An extrusion valve 10 is communicated with the bottom end of the heating tank 7. A storage tank 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner bottom wall of the workbench 1. A suction pump 9 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner bottom wall of the workbench 1. The front end of the suction pump 9 is communicated with the rear bottom end of the storage tank 8. The top end of the suction pump 9 is communicated with the right side of the heating tank 7. A top die 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the extrusion valve 10. A bottom die 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the sliding plate 12. A moving mechanism 2 is arranged at the rear side of the cross beam 5. The moving mechanism 2 is used for adjusting the position of the extrusion device in the horizontal plane;

[0033] Specifically, there is now enough plastic pellets stored in the storage bin 8. The suction pump 9 extracts plastic pellets from the bottom rear end of the storage bin 8 and transports them to the heating tank 7. The heating tank 7 heats the plastic pellets to melt them into a state with a certain fluidity for better crimping operation. The slider 6 on the crossbeam 5 can slide flexibly on the outer wall of the crossbeam 5, driving the heating tank 7, the extrusion valve 10, and the upper die 11 to move. When crimping is required, the slider 6 moves to a suitable position so that the upper die 11 is precisely located directly above the lower die 13. Subsequently, the extrusion valve 10 is opened, and the heated plastic pellets flow out of the heating tank 7, pass through the extrusion valve 10, and reach the upper die 11. Under the combined action of gravity and the extrusion valve 10, the upper die 11 approaches the lower die 13 below. The lower die 13 on the sliding plate 12 holds the in-vehicle TSN communication cable terminal connector to be crimped. When the upper die 11 contacts the lower die 13, the heated plastic pellets tightly wrap the connector under the action of pressure, achieving the crimping process. The column 4 provides stable support for the crossbeam 5 to ensure that the entire structure does not shake during the crimping process. The workbench 1 serves as a basic platform, carrying each component to ensure the stable operation of the equipment, enabling the crimping equipment to efficiently and accurately crimp the in-vehicle TSN communication cable terminal connector using the heated plastic pellets. The extrusion device includes the extrusion valve 10 and the upper die 11, and the extrusion device is used to crimp the connector workpiece to be crimped at different horizontal positions through the moving mechanism 2 to meet the crimping requirements of in-vehicle TSN communication cable terminal connectors of different sizes and types.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the moving mechanism 2 includes a lateral drive motor 201. The output end of the lateral drive motor 201 is fixedly connected with a drive gear 202. The inner bottom wall of the crossbeam 5 is fixedly connected with a rack 203. The drive gear 202 is meshed with the rack 203. The middle of the top wall of the carrier plate 3 is fixedly connected with a longitudinal slide rail 204. Track grooves 205 are formed on both the left and right sides of the longitudinal slide rail 204. A plurality of longitudinal balls 206 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the inner top wall of the sliding plate 12. Ball grooves 207 are formed on both the left and right sides of the top wall of the longitudinal slide rail 204. The plurality of longitudinal balls 206 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the ball groove 207;

[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the lateral positions of components such as the slider 6 and the heating tank 7 connected thereto, the lateral drive motor 201 is started, and its output end drives the drive gear 202 to rotate. Since the drive gear 202 is meshed and connected with the rack 203 on the inner bottom wall of the cross beam 5, the rotation of the drive gear 202 will cause the entire device to move laterally on the cross beam 5, and the heating tank 7 and the upper die 11 can be accurately moved to appropriate positions to prepare for the crimping operation. In terms of longitudinal movement, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the lower die 13, the sliding plate 12 moves on the longitudinal slide rail 204. A plurality of longitudinal balls 206 on the left and right sides of the inner top wall of the sliding plate 12 cooperate with the ball grooves 207 on the left and right sides of the top wall of the longitudinal slide rail 204, making the movement of the sliding plate 12 smoother. At the same time, the track grooves 205 on the left and right sides of the longitudinal slide rail 204 also provide a guiding function for the movement of the sliding plate 12, ensuring that the lower die 13 can accurately move to a position corresponding to the upper die 11. Through the cooperation of such lateral and longitudinal movement mechanisms 2, the positions of the upper die 11 and the lower die 13 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the crimping requirements of in-vehicle TSN communication cable terminal connectors of different sizes and types, improving the versatility and working efficiency of the equipment.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the front side of the top wall of the workbench 1, a control console 14 is fixedly connected. On the top of the control console 14, a plurality of control buttons 15 are fixedly connected; on the right side of the right column 4, a support rod 16 is fixedly connected, and at the front end of the support rod 16, a display 17 is fixedly connected; around the outer walls of the two columns 4, a plurality of diagonal braces 18 are equidistantly and fixedly connected, and the outer shapes of the plurality of diagonal braces 18 are triangular.

[0037] Specifically, the control console 14 is used to integrate the signal modules of the entire device. The plurality of control buttons 15 on its top can control and adjust the lateral drive motor 201, the heating tank 7, the suction pump 9, the extrusion valve 10, and the display 17. The display 17 at the front end of the support rod 16 can real-time display the working state of the device, facilitating the operator to timely understand the operation of the device and make adjustments. The diagonal braces 18 around the outer walls of the columns 4 are triangular and have strong stability, which can enhance the support strength of the columns 4 and prevent the columns 4 from deforming or tilting due to excessive pressure during the crimping process.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the left and right sides of the sliding plate 12, handles 19 are fixedly connected, and the outer walls of the two handles 19 both use a frosted process; at the four corners of the bottom wall of the workbench 1, anti-slip pads 20 are fixedly connected, and the plurality of anti-slip pads 20 are all of an upper-small-lower-large structure; anti-leakage rings 21 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the upper die 11 and the lower die 13, and the upper anti-leakage ring 21 and the lower anti-leakage ring 21 are meshed and connected.

[0039] Specifically, the handles 19 on both sides of the sliding plate 12 facilitate the operator to move the sliding plate 12 and adjust the position of the lower die 13. The handles 19 of the sand process increase the friction, making the operator more stable during the operation and not prone to slipping. The anti-slip pads 20 at the four corners of the bottom wall of the workbench 1 can prevent the equipment from sliding during the work process. The structure with a larger bottom and a smaller top increases the contact area with the ground and improves the stability. The anti-leakage rings 21 on the inner walls of the upper die 11 and the lower die 13 play a sealing role during the crimping process to prevent the heated plastic particles from leaking.

[0040] Working principle: First, store enough plastic particles in the storage bin 8. The suction pump 9 extracts plastic particles from the rear bottom end of the storage bin 8 and transports them to the heating tank 7. The heating tank 7 heats the plastic particles to melt them into a state with certain fluidity for better crimping operation. The slider 6 on the cross beam 5 can slide flexibly on the outer wall of the cross beam 5, driving the heating tank 7, the extrusion valve 10 and the upper die 11 to move. When crimping is required, the slider 6 moves to a suitable position so that the upper die 11 is precisely located directly above the lower die 13. Subsequently, the extrusion valve 10 is opened, and the heated plastic particles flow out of the heating tank 7, pass through the extrusion valve 10 and reach the upper die 11. Under the combined action of gravity and the extrusion valve 10, the upper die 11 approaches the lower die 13 below. The lower die 13 on the sliding plate 12 holds the in-vehicle TSN communication cable terminal connector to be crimped. When the upper die 11 contacts the lower die 13, the heated plastic particles tightly wrap the connector under the action of pressure, realizing the crimping process. The column 4 provides stable support for the cross beam 5 to ensure that the entire structure does not shake during the crimping process. The workbench 1 serves as a basic platform, carrying each component to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0041] Moreover, when it is necessary to adjust the lateral position of the slider 6 and the components such as the heating tank 7 connected thereto, start the lateral drive motor 201. The output end of the motor drives the drive gear 202 to rotate. Since the drive gear 202 is meshed with the rack 203 on the inner bottom wall of the cross beam 5, the rotation of the drive gear 202 causes the entire device to move laterally on the cross beam 5, and the heating tank 7 and the upper die 11 can be accurately moved to suitable positions to prepare for the crimping operation. In terms of longitudinal movement, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the lower die 13, the sliding plate 12 moves on the longitudinal slide rail 204. The multiple longitudinal balls 206 on the left and right sides of the inner top wall of the sliding plate 12 cooperate with the ball grooves 207 on the left and right sides of the top wall of the longitudinal slide rail 204, making the movement of the sliding plate 12 smoother. At the same time, the track grooves 205 on the left and right sides of the longitudinal slide rail 204 also provide a guiding function for the movement of the sliding plate 12 to ensure that the lower die 13 can accurately move to the position corresponding to the upper die 11.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
