Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-speed cables, and particularly relates to a connector glue injection device. Background Art

[0002] A high-speed cable is a cable for transmitting data with low cost and short-distance connection, and is widely used in data center interconnection scenarios such as SATA storage devices, RADI system scenarios, core routers, and Ethernet. As a high-speed and stable data transmission medium, the high-speed cable brings great convenience to people's work and life. Generally, a high-speed cable includes a cable body and a connector connected to the end of the cable. According to different transmission protocols, common high-speed cables include types such as SFP, QSFP, OSFP, and SAS. In the production process of high-speed cables of certain specifications, it is necessary to connect the cable part and the corresponding connector, strip the outer skin of the cable end, and connect the exposed inner core part to the corresponding connection part of the connector. After the cable and the connector are connected, in order to ensure the stability of the connection and for the purposes of protecting the connection end, internal components, and waterproofing, generally, a hot-melt colloid such as resin is used to coat the connection part of the cable and the connector. At present, when injecting glue into the connector, generally, the connector is placed in a jig and pressed tightly, and the operator holds a glue gun to inject the colloid into the corresponding position of the jig. After the colloid is cured, the connector is taken out, and a new connector is replaced for the next glue injection operation. Such a method has low efficiency, high labor intensity, and it is difficult for manual operation to ensure the consistency of the glue injection amount each time, which is likely to cause waste of raw materials.

Specific embodiments

[0022] To facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment provides a connector glue injection device, including a machine table, an X-axis moving module arranged on the machine table, a Z-axis moving module connected to the X-axis moving module, a glue injection mechanism connected to the Z-axis moving module, a Y-axis moving module arranged on the machine table, a positioning mechanism connected to the Y-axis moving module, and a glue injection fixture arranged on the positioning mechanism.

[0024] The glue injection mechanism includes a lifting plate connected to the Z-axis moving module, a glue injection seat movably connected to the lifting plate, and a glue injection component connected to the glue injection seat.

[0025] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate connected to the Y-axis moving module for positioning the glue injection fixture, and a pressing component for pressing the glue injection fixture. Two positioning members are provided on the top of the positioning plate for positioning the glue injection fixture in the X-axis direction.

[0026] The pressing component includes a pressing member arranged on the positioning plate, and a pressing cylinder arranged at the bottom of the positioning plate for driving the pressing member. After the glue injection fixture is placed on the positioning plate, the pressing cylinder drives the pressing member to move downwards to press the glue injection fixture. In this embodiment, four pressing components are provided.

[0027] The glue injection fixture includes a cable positioning seat, connecting arms connected to both ends of the cable positioning seat, a glue injection seat connected to the connecting arms, and a glue injection cover plate connected to the glue injection seat. The glue injection seat is provided with a plurality of molding cavities. The number of molding cavities can be set according to actual requirements. In this embodiment, 8 molding cavities are provided. The connector part is placed in the molding cavity. After injecting the colloid, the colloid covers the connector from the outside.

[0028] An inlet cavity is provided between every two of the molding cavities, and inlet channels are provided at both ends of the inlet cavity. After the colloid is injected into the inlet cavity, it flows to both ends of the inlet cavity and enters two molding cavities through two inlet channels respectively. The provision of the inlet cavity enables the glue injection operation of two connectors to be completed in one glue injection action.

[0029] The glue injection cover plate is provided with a glue inlet corresponding to the position of the inlet cavity, and a concave portion is provided on the bottom surface of the inlet cavity. The concave portion can form an avoidance space to ensure that the glue injection nozzle can smoothly inject the colloid into the inlet cavity.

[0030] The glue injection seat is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves for receiving cables, and the receiving grooves correspond to the molding cavities one by one. In addition, the glue injection seat is also provided with positioning holes, and the glue injection cover plate is provided with positioning pins corresponding to the positioning holes.

[0031] The cable positioning seat is evenly provided with a plurality of positioning grooves. A wire clamping seat is connected to one side of the cable positioning seat close to the glue injection seat, and the wire clamping seat is evenly provided with a plurality of wire clamping grooves. The wire clamping seat is made of an elastic material such as rubber or silica gel, and uses its own elasticity to clamp the cable to prevent the cable from shifting. When the cable is placed, the positioning grooves initially position the cable, and then the cable enters the wire clamping grooves and is clamped tightly.

[0032] The glue injection mechanism includes a buffer assembly, and the buffer assembly includes a buffer block and a buffer member connected between the buffer block and the glue injection seat. The buffer assembly can play a buffering role during the glue injection process to prevent damage caused by the impact between the glue injection assembly and the glue injection fixture.

[0033] There are two groups of glue injection assemblies, two Y-axis movement modules, and two positioning mechanisms, thus forming a double station. When replacing the glue injection fixture in one positioning mechanism, the other positioning mechanism can still perform the glue injection operation simultaneously, avoiding the idling of the equipment.

[0034] The glue injection fixture of the present utility model can be removed from the positioning mechanism, so that connectors and cables can be pre-clamped on the glue injection fixture. During the glue injection process, the glue injection fixture can be quickly replaced, enabling seamless connection of operations. After the glue injection fixture with the cable and connector clamped is placed at the predetermined position on the positioning plate, the pressing assembly presses the glue injection fixture. Under the cooperation of the X-axis drive module, Y-axis drive module, and Z-axis drive module, the glue injection assembly sequentially moves to each glue injection port of the glue injection fixture to inject the colloid. After the glue injection is completed, the pressing assembly releases the glue injection fixture. At this time, the glue injection fixture is removed and a new glue injection fixture is replaced to start the next glue injection operation.

[0035] The present utility model is provided with a glue injection mechanism, a positioning mechanism, and a glue injection fixture. Under the cooperation of three moving modules, the colloid can be quickly injected into the molding cavity of the glue injection fixture. The entire glue injection process is automated without manual intervention, and the consistency of each glue injection is ensured. This not only improves the operation efficiency but also ensures the glue injection quality, avoids waste of materials, and reduces production costs. On the other hand, the glue injection fixture of the present utility model can pre-clamp the cable and connector, avoiding the idle state of the equipment during the glue injection process and further improving the operation efficiency.
