[0039] Manually or using a manipulator, the bases with terminal posts are successively conveyed into the feeding channel 121. After that, the bases with terminal posts will flow and reach the upper feeding mechanism 2. The upper feeding mechanism 2 will successively convey the bases with terminal posts into the transfer channel 141. After that, the pressing mechanism 3 will press the terminal posts on the bases located in the transfer channel 141 into place.

[0040] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , The upper feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding driving member 21 provided on the workbench 1. The feeding driving member 21 is a cylinder. The feeding driving member 21 is connected to a feeding seat 22 that can load / unload the bases with terminal posts. The feeding driving member 21 can drive the feeding seat 22 to reciprocate back and forth. In addition, in order to guide the movement of the feeding seat 22, there are support feet 23 on the workbench 1. There is a mounting block 24 on the support feet 23. The mounting block 24 has a guiding groove 241. The feeding seat 22 is arranged in the guiding groove 241 and the feeding seat 22 is slidably connected to the guiding groove 241. There is a bracket 25 on the workbench 1. The bracket 25 is provided with a pushing driving member 26. The pushing driving member 26 is a cylinder. The pushing driving member 26 is connected to a pushing member 27. The pushing member 27 includes a pushing post 271 for pushing the bases with terminal posts.

[0041] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Specifically, the feeding seat 22 includes a bearing seat body 221. The bearing seat body 221 is connected to the feeding driving member 21. The upper end of the bearing seat body 221 has two receiving grooves for loading / unloading the bases with terminal posts. The receiving grooves are distributed along the movement direction of the output end of the feeding driving member 21. The feeding driving member 21 can drive the bearing seat body 221 to move so that the receiving grooves communicate with the feeding channel 121 / the transfer channel 141. More specifically, among them, the two receiving grooves are respectively a first receiving groove 222 and a second receiving groove 223.

[0042] In this embodiment, the feeding base 22 has a first position, a second position, and a third position. When the feeding base 22 is in the first position, the first receiving groove 222 communicates with the feeding channel 121, and the feeding channel 121 conveys the base with terminal posts into the first receiving groove 222. When the feeding base 22 is in the second position, the second receiving groove 223 communicates with the feeding channel 121, and the feeding channel 121 conveys the base with terminal posts into the second receiving groove 223. The pushing driving member 26 drives the pushing member 27 to move, and pushes the base with terminal posts in the first receiving groove 222 into the transfer channel 141. When the feeding base 22 is in the third position, only the second receiving groove 223 communicates with the transfer channel 141, and the pushing driving member 26 drives the pushing member 27 to move, and pushes the base with terminal posts in the second receiving groove 223 into the transfer channel 141.

The positioning driving member 362 is a cylinder. The positioning driving member 362 is connected to a positioning member 363; referring to Figure 2 , a through slot 1412 is formed in the transfer channel 141. The positioning driving member 362 is used to drive the positioning member 363 to move through the through slot 1412 to press the base with terminal posts against the wall surface of the transfer channel 141 to limit the base with terminal posts.

[0046] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6, specifically, the pressing assembly 33 includes a connecting seat 331 connected to the pressing driving member 32. A plurality of placement grooves 3311 are formed in the connecting seat 331, and a pressing column 34 for pressing the terminal post is provided in each placement groove 3311. The specific number of the pressing columns 34 is the same as the number of terminal posts to be pressed; a connecting block 35 is further provided on the connecting seat 331, and the pressing column 34 is fixed by being squeezed by the connecting block 35 and the connecting seat 331.

[0047] After the base with the terminal post moves to below the pressing column 34, the driving and positioning assembly 36 positions it, and drives the pressing driving member 32 to drive the connecting seat 331 to move downward, thereby driving a plurality of pressing columns 34 to move downward to press the terminal post. This pressing method can ensure the accuracy of pressing the terminal post.

[0048] Refer to Figure 6 , to ensure that the number of pressing columns 34 is the same as the number of terminal posts, the pressing column 34 is movably connected to the placement groove 3311; an installation hole 351 is formed in the connecting block 35, and a connecting hole 3312 is formed in the connecting seat 331, and the installation hole 351 and the connecting hole 3312 are jointly connected by a screw.

[0049] By removing the connecting block 35 to disassemble / install the pressing column 34, the number of pressing columns 34 can be flexibly adjusted based on the number of terminal posts to be pressed.

[0050] The implementation principle of a terminal pressing machine according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0051] The base with the terminal post is manually or by a manipulator transported one by one into the feeding channel 121. After that, the base with the terminal post will flow into the receiving groove. The feeding driving member 21 is driven to drive the receiving groove to move to communicate with the flow channel 141. The pushing driving member 26 is driven to drive the pusher 27 to move to transport the base with the terminal post one by one into the flow channel 141. After that, when the base with the terminal post moves to below the pressing column 34, the positioning driving member 362 is driven to drive the positioning member 363 to move through the through groove 1412 to press the base with the terminal post against the wall surface of the flow channel 141, and the pressing driving member 32 is driven to drive the connecting seat 331 to move downward, thereby driving a plurality of pressing columns 34 to move downward to press the terminal post member.
