[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the feed frame of the automatic machine for cutting and folding strips of electrical connectors in one embodiment of the present invention includes a support frame 12, a motor 13, and a rotating shaft 21. The support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the processing table 11, and the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the support frame 12. The rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 13. The rotating shaft 21 and the motor 13 can be fixedly connected together by a flange, which facilitates the replacement of the rotating shaft 21. The rotating shaft 21 can be driven to rotate by the motor 13.

[0025] A plurality of material trays 22 are mounted on the rotating shaft 21. A chute 24 is defined within the rotating shaft 21. Limiting slots 23 are defined at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 21, communicating with the chute 24. A movable rod 41 is slidably connected within the chute 24. The material trays 22 are provided with mounting holes that match the rotating shaft 21, allowing them to be fitted onto the rotating shaft 21. A mounting plate 25, which matches the limiting slots 23, is fixedly connected to the material trays 22. This increases the stability between the material trays 22 and the rotating shaft 21, ensuring that the material trays 22 rotate with the rotating shaft 21 to discharge the material.

[0026] A first fixed block 32 matching the limiting groove 23 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 41, a first fixed plate 31 is fixedly connected to the first fixed block 32, a second fixed block 34 matching the limiting groove 23 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 41, a groove 35 is fixedly connected to the second fixed block 34, and multiple material trays 22 can be clamped and fixed on the rotating shaft 21 through the first fixed plate 31 and the second fixed plate 33, so that the multiple material trays 22 can rotate with the rotating shaft 21.

[0027] Several first fixing holes 42 are opened in the moving rod 41, and second fixing holes 43 matching the first fixing holes 42 are opened in the rotating shaft 21. Fixing bolts 44 are threadedly connected between the first fixing holes 42 and the second fixing holes 43. The distance between the first fixing holes 42 is equal to the distance between the material trays 22.

[0028] Specifically, the frontmost tray 22 is the unloading position. When the material strips in the frontmost tray 22 are unloaded, the fixing bolt 44 can be loosened, and then the movable rod 41 is pulled forward to align the second fixing hole 43 with the next first fixing hole 42, and then screwed together and fixed with the fixing bolt 44. In this way, the unused trays behind will be moved to the designated unloading position in the front for unloading, without having to remove the empty tray 22 and install a new one, greatly saving loading and unloading time. This process is repeated until all the trays 22 on the rotating shaft 21 have been used up.

[0029] Furthermore, the portion of the moving rod 41 that protrudes from the rotating shaft 21 can be provided with anti-slip grooves to facilitate pulling the moving rod 41. A handle 45 is fixedly connected to the fixing bolt 44 to facilitate rotating the fixing bolt 44. A fixing groove that matches the second fixing block 34 is provided in the moving rod 41. A magnet is provided between the second fixing block 34 and the fixing groove, that is, the second fixing plate 33 can be removed from the moving rod 41. A groove 35 is provided in the second fixing plate 33 to facilitate pulling the second fixing plate 33 to separate the second fixing plate 33 from the moving rod 41.

[0030] When all the material trays 22 on the rotating shaft 21 are used up, the fixing bolts 44 can be loosened and the moving rod 41 can be pulled outward. The moving rod 41 can drive the first fixed plate 31, the second fixed plate 33 and the material tray 22 between the first fixed plate 31 and the second fixed plate 33 to move until they are separated from the rotating shaft 21. Then the second fixed plate 33 is removed, and the new material tray 22 is replaced on the moving rod 41 and then installed on the rotating shaft 21.

[0031] Limiting plates 55 are provided between adjacent trays 22 to separate the trays 22, creating a certain gap between them. When the production line is upgraded in the future, the strips in multiple trays 22 can be cut and folded simultaneously, increasing the efficiency of cutting and folding the strips. To this end, the conveyor tracks on the processing table must also be matched, with gaps between the multiple conveyor tracks to facilitate matching with multiple trays 22.

[0032] The limiting plate 55 is fixedly connected to a second support rod 54 , the second support rod 54 is slidably connected to a first support rod 53 , the support frame 12 is fixedly connected to a first support arm 51 , and the first support arm 51 is elastically connected to a second support arm 52 fixedly connected to the first support rod 53 .

[0033] Specifically, the second support arm 52 can be extended and retracted within the first support arm 51, the first support rod 53 can be extended and retracted within the second support rod 54, a spring is arranged between the second support arm 52 and the first support arm 51, and a limiting rack is arranged between the first support rod 53 and the second support rod 54, which does not affect the normal movement and disassembly of the material tray 22.

[0034] A support plate 61 is fixedly connected to the side of the processing table 11 near the feed rack. Support members 62 are mounted on the support plate 61, matching the first and second fixed trays 31, 33. The movable rod 41, first and second fixed trays 31, 33 are multiple and interchangeable. When a used tray 22 is removed, it can be placed on the support member 62, and a new tray 22 mounted on the support member 62 can be mounted on the rotating shaft 21 for easy replacement. The used tray 22 placed on the support member 62 can be replaced while the material is being discharged, saving time.

[0035] When using, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motor 13 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 21 drives the material tray 22 located on the rotating shaft 21 to rotate for unloading. When the material strip in the front material tray 22 is exhausted, the rear material tray filled with material strips can be moved to the front for unloading, saving time for loading and unloading.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the feeder rack of the automatic machine for cutting and folding material strips of the electric connector of the present invention can reduce the time for loading and unloading materials and increase the efficiency of cutting and folding material strips.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0038] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
