[0029] Reference Figure 1 , the utility model aims to provide an embodiment of a terminal machine.

[0030] A terminal machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a wire moving mechanism, a cutting mechanism 100, a wire stripping mechanism 110 and a crimping mechanism 120. The cutting mechanism 100, the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 are located on the same horizontal side of the wire moving mechanism. The wire moving mechanism is used to move the wires cut by the cutting mechanism 100 to the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 in sequence. The wire moving mechanism includes a moving component, a rotating component connected to the moving component, and a clamping component connected to the rotating component. The moving component includes a slider 130 and a first power member 140 that drives the slider 130 to move horizontally. The rotating component is used to drive the clamping component to rotate. The clamping component includes a positioning block 150, a clamping block 160 located on a horizontal side of the positioning block 150, and a first cylinder 170 that drives the clamping block 160 close to or away from the clamping block 160. The clamping block 160 and the positioning block 150 clamp the wires.

[0031] It should be noted that the first power component 140 includes a screw, a nut mounted on the screw, and a motor 380 that drives the screw to rotate. The nut is connected to the slider 130. Therefore, the motor 380 drives the screw to rotate, and the screw and the nut cooperate with the threaded transmission, so that the nut drives the slider 130 to move horizontally.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, a conveying mechanism is further included. A cutting mechanism 100 is provided in the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a plurality of traction components. The traction components include a first traction roller 360, a second traction roller 370, and a motor 380 that drives the second traction roller 370 to rotate. The first traction roller 360 and the second traction roller 370 clamp the traction wire.

[0033] Therefore, the second pulling roller 370 is rotated by the motor 380 , and the first pulling roller 360 and the second pulling roller 370 clamp the conveyed electric wire, thereby supplying the electric wire to the cutting mechanism 100 .

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cutting mechanism 100 includes a left cutter 330, a right cutter 340, and a second cylinder 350 that drives the right cutter 340 to approach the left cutter 330. The left cutter 330 and the right cutter 340 cut the wire, so the cutting mechanism 100 has a simple structure.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the moving assembly includes two guide rails 180 , the slider 130 is slidably disposed on the two guide rails 180 , and the cutting mechanism 100 , the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 are sequentially arranged side by side along the length direction of the guide rails 180 .

[0036] Therefore, the slider 130 slides along the guide rail 180 to move the wires cut by the cutting mechanism 100 to the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 in sequence. The material moving mechanism has a simple structure and the equipment layout is easy.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning block 150 has a support plate 400, and an arc groove 220 is provided on the top of the support plate 400. The arc groove 220 accommodates the wires. Therefore, the arc groove 220 is used to position the wires to ensure that the wires can be crimped to the terminals normally.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning block 150 has an abutting portion 230 connected to the support plate 400 , and the clamping block 160 has a clamping portion 240 . The abutting portion 230 and the clamping portion 240 clamp the wires in a horizontal direction.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping surface of the clamping portion 240 is in an arc shape, so that the clamping surface of the clamping portion 240 matches the outer surface of the wire, which is beneficial for firmly clamping the wire.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping block 160 has a sliding portion 250 connected to the clamping portion 240 , and the support plate 400 is provided with a sliding groove 260 , which accommodates the sliding portion 250 to pass through.

[0041] Therefore, during the movement of the clamping block 160 , the sliding portion 250 moves along the sliding groove 260 , which is beneficial for the clamping block 160 to move smoothly and not easily deflect, thereby ensuring effective clamping of the wires.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating assembly has a rotating cylinder 390 and a connecting plate 190 connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating cylinder 390. A guide rod 200 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 190, and the slider 130 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 210. The guide groove 210 accommodates the guide rod 200 to pass through, thereby allowing the clamping assembly to rotate smoothly.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the wire stripping mechanism 110 includes an upper stripping knife, a lower stripping knife, and a second power member that drives the upper stripping knife and the lower stripping knife to cooperate in stripping. The slider 130 transfers the wire between the upper stripping knife and the lower stripping knife, and the upper stripping knife and the lower stripping knife strip the surface of the wire.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly has a base plate, a spring 270 is connected between the base plate and the connecting plate 190, and a pressure rod 280 is provided above the positioning block 150, which can press the positioning block 150 downward to compress the spring 270.

[0045] During the stripping process or the crimping station, the positioning block 150 can be pressed down by the pressing rod 280 to compress the spring 270 , thereby facilitating the positioning of the wire in the stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 .

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the crimping mechanism 120 includes a lower mold 290, an upper mold 300 located above the lower mold 290, and a hydraulic cylinder 310 that drives the upper mold 300 to move up and down. The upper mold 300 and the lower mold 290 are combined to crimp the terminal. The hydraulic cylinder 310 is connected to a cross bar 320, and the cross bar 320 is connected to the pressure rod 280.

[0047] Therefore, the hydraulic cylinder 310 is used to drive the upper mold 300 to descend. At the same time, the pressure rod 280 follows the upper mold 300 to descend, which can lower the height position of the wire on the positioning block 150, so that the wire and the terminal of the lower mold 290 are positioned, making it easier for the upper mold 300 and the lower mold 290 to close the mold and crimp the terminal.

[0048] Therefore, this embodiment has the following effects:

[0049] 1. The present invention provides a slider 130 and a first power member 140. The cutting mechanism 100 cuts the wire into a certain length. The first power member 140 drives the slider 130 to move. The slider 130 transfers the certain length of wire to the stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120 in sequence. The stripping mechanism 110 strips the wire at both ends, and the crimping mechanism 120 crimps the wire at both ends to terminals. Thus, there is no need for manual transfer of wires, thereby improving the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0050] 2. The utility model provides a clamping assembly, which includes a positioning block 150, a clamping block 160 and a first cylinder 170. The first cylinder 170 drives the clamping block 160 close to the positioning block 150, so that the clamping block 160 and the positioning block 150 clamp the cut wire, ensuring accurate positioning of the wire, improving the stripping accuracy of the wire stripping mechanism 110, and improving the accuracy of crimping terminals by the crimping mechanism 120.

[0051] 3. The utility model provides a rotating assembly, which drives the clamping assembly to rotate, so that both ends of the wire can face the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the crimping mechanism 120. There is no need to configure two wire stripping mechanisms 110 and two crimping mechanisms 120 to process the two ends of the wire respectively, which can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment. In addition, the equipment has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0052] 4. The utility model can improve the stripping accuracy of the wire stripping mechanism 110 and the accuracy of the crimping terminal of the crimping mechanism 120, without the need for manual transfer of wires, thereby improving the degree of automation of the equipment, improving the efficiency of crimping terminals, and greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
