[0025] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the automatic feeding mechanism for terminal blocks provided in this embodiment includes an operating platform 1 and a conveying assembly 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the operating platform 1. The conveying assembly 2 includes a bottom conveying frame 3 and a discharge pipe 4 fixedly connected to the top of one end of the bottom conveying frame 3. An air nozzle 5 is installed at one end of the bottom conveying frame 3 close to the discharge pipe 4. The air nozzle 5 is connected to the air pump through an air pipe. Through the arrangement of the bottom conveying frame 3, the discharge pipe 4 and the air nozzle 5, the terminal blocks 6 are placed in the bottom conveying frame 3 and the discharge pipe 4. When the terminal blocks 6 are taken, the terminal blocks 6 in the discharge pipe 4 will push the terminal blocks 6 in the bottom conveying frame 3 forward to be replenished under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the function of automatic feeding. Moreover, the terminal blocks are neatly arranged, which is convenient for subsequent operations, saves manpower and improves work efficiency. At the same time, the air nozzle 5 is connected to the air pump, which can make the terminal blocks 6 move smoothly and prevent blockage.

[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the middle portion of the bottom conveying frame 3 is provided with multiple conveying channels 7 for conveying terminal blocks 6. Multiple discharge tubes 4 are provided, corresponding one to one with the conveying channels 7. The bottoms of the multiple discharge tubes 4 are commonly connected to a connecting plate 8. One end of the bottom conveying frame 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 9. The connecting plate 8 and the connecting frame 9 are connected to each other by first screws 10. The connecting plate 8 is provided with multiple first through holes 11, and the top of the connecting frame 9 is provided with multiple first screw holes 12 corresponding to the first through holes 11. The provision of multiple conveying channels 7 and discharge tubes 4 enables this mechanism to store and convey a large number of terminal blocks.

An arcuate channel 15 is provided at the end of the conveying channel 7 near the discharge pipe 4. The arrangement of the slope and the mounting hole 13 causes the air outlet direction of the air nozzle 5 to tilt downward, thereby applying a downward force to the terminal block 6. The arrangement of the cover plate 14 and the discharge pipe 4 being both made of transparent materials facilitates observation and replenishment of the terminal block 6. The arrangement of the arcuate channel 15 allows the terminal block 6 to enter the bottom conveying frame 3 from the discharge pipe 4 more smoothly.

[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a second through hole 17 is formed on the cover plate 14, and a second screw hole 18 corresponding to the second through hole 17 is formed on the top of the bottom conveying frame 3.

A countersunk hole 20 is formed on the top of the bottom conveying frame 3 to cooperate with the third screw 19, and a third screw hole 21 is formed on the top of the operating platform 1 to cooperate with the third screw 19. The provision of the second screw hole 18 facilitates the installation and removal of the cover plate 14, and the provision of the third screw 19 facilitates the installation and removal of the top of the operating platform 1 and the conveying assembly 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figures 1-6 As shown, the working process of the automatic feeding mechanism of the terminal blocks provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] Step 1: Install the terminal blocks into the bottom conveyor frame 3 and the feed tube 4 according to the direction;

[0032] Step 2: When assembling the isolator, the nozzle of the isolator assembly device sucks the terminal blocks out of the bottom conveying frame 3 for assembly. At this time, the terminal blocks 6 in the discharge tube 4 will be pushed forward by gravity to be replenished.

[0033] Step 3: At the same time, the air nozzle 5 is connected to the air pump to apply power to the terminal 6 to move.

[0034] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention within the scope disclosed by the present invention, which falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
