In the process of manual feeding and flush cutting, the manual feeding efficiency is low and there are certain safety hazards during the cutting process, which is not conducive to large-scale production.

[0016] The following combination of append Figure 1A further detailed description of the present application is provided.
[0017] An SC-type fiber optic active connector cable loading mechanism, including a body, the body includes a buffer mechanism, a cable feeding mechanism, and a loading jaw 7 mechanism for conveying the cable of the buffer mechanism to the cable feeding mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes a conveyor chain, and a plurality of buffer jaws 1 are provided on the conveyor chain; the cable feeding mechanism includes a cable feeding lifting cylinder 2 and a cable feeding wheel 3. The body is provided with a mounting frame 4. The cable feeding lifting cylinder 2 is fixed to the mounting frame 4. An installation seat 5 is provided on the telescopic shaft of the cable feeding lifting cylinder 2. The cable feeding wheel 3 is arranged on the installation seat 5. The mounting frame 4 is provided with a cable feeding platform 6. The cable feeding wheel 3 is arranged above the cable feeding platform 6; the loading jaw 7 mechanism includes a loading jaw 7, a jaw shifting cylinder 8, and a jaw lifting cylinder 9. The mounting frame 4 is provided with a moving shaft 10. A moving seat 11 is slidably connected to the moving shaft 10. The feeding shifting cylinder and the jaw lifting cylinder 9 are fixed to the moving seat 11. The telescopic shaft of the jaw shifting cylinder 8 is coaxial with the moving shaft 10 and fixed to the installation seat 5. The loading jaw 7 is arranged on the telescopic shaft of the loading lifting cylinder.
[0018] In actual production, 32 buffer jaws 1 are provided in the buffer mechanism. The conveyor chain conveys the buffer jaws 1 to the waiting-to-be-grabbed position for the loading jaw 7 to grab. At this time, the jaw shifting cylinder 8 and the jaw lifting cylinder 9 are started. The jaw shifting cylinder 8 is used to drive the moving seat 11 to move along the moving shaft 10 to the position above the waiting-to-be-grabbed position. Then the grabbing and lifting cylinder drives the loading jaw 7 to descend and grab the cable on the buffer jaw 1 and then rise. Then the jaw shifting cylinder 8 drives the moving seat 11 to the position of the cable feeding platform 6. At this time, the jaw lifting cylinder 9 drives the lifting jaw to descend and place the cable on the cable feeding platform 6. After the cable is placed on the cable feeding platform 6, the cable feeding lifting cylinder 2 drives the installation seat 5 to descend, so that the cable feeding wheel 3 presses the cable tightly against the cable feeding platform 6. Then the cable feeding wheel 3 rotates and drives the cable to move along the cable feeding platform 6 to the set cutting position.
[0019] With the above device, the staff only needs to fix the cable to the buffer jaw 1, and the subsequent processes of grabbing and loading are automatically carried out by the device, improving the production efficiency. And the staff does not need to approach the subsequent flush cutter 13 station, which helps to improve safety. Feeding and cutting through the device helps to reduce the defective rate.
[0020] In one embodiment, the body is provided with a cable feeding in-place detection device 12. When the cable feeding wheel 3 conveys the cable, the cable feeding in-place detection device 12 detects the cable, and then the cable feeding wheel 3 stops rotating.
[0021] In one embodiment, the body is provided with a flush cutter 13 and a discharging cylinder 14. The flush cutter 13 and the discharging cylinder 14 correspond to the position of the cable on the cable feeding platform 6. After the cable feeding wheel 3 stops rotating, the flush cutter 13 cuts off the cable head of the cable, and then the discharging cylinder 14 discharges the cut-off cable head.
[0022] In one embodiment, the main body is provided with a shifting jaw 15 and a shifting jaw lifting cylinder 9. The shifting jaw 15 is arranged on the telescopic shaft of the shifting jaw lifting cylinder 9, and the shifting jaw 15 is arranged below the flush cutter 13. After the cutting is completed, the shifting jaw 15 clamps the cable, and then the cable feeding lifting cylinder 2 drives the mounting seat 5 to rise, so that the cable feeding wheel 3 no longer presses the cable tightly. Then, the shifting jaw lifting cylinder 9 drives the shifting jaw 15 to descend and convey it to the next working station.
[0023] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
