[0025] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 A terminal loading device includes a base 1, which is provided with an adapter material bin 2. An adjustable transfer structure 3 and a loading structure 4 are provided on one side of the adapter material bin 2. The adapter material bin 2 is used to store terminal materials and cooperate with the adjustable transfer structure 3 to unload materials. The adjustable transfer structure 3 is used to remove materials from the adapter material bin 2 and transport them to a designated location. The loading structure 4 takes the terminal materials from the designated location and delivers them to the welding equipment.

[0026] Specifically, the adaptor hopper 2 includes a hopper seat 21 disposed on the base 1. The hopper seat 21 has a receiving cavity for accommodating terminals, and the terminals are inserted into the receiving cavity. In order to accommodate more terminals, the adaptor hopper 2 also includes a first adjustment seat 22 and a second adjustment seat 23 disposed on the hopper seat 21. The first adjustment seat 22 and the second adjustment seat 23 are arranged opposite each other, and the first adjustment seat 22 and the second adjustment seat 23 surround and form a receiving cavity that can further accommodate terminals. The two receiving cavities are interconnected, so that terminals located on the first adjustment seat 22 and the second adjustment seat 23 can fall into the hopper seat 21.

[0027] Furthermore, to accommodate terminal materials of varying sizes, the first and second adjustment seats 22 and 23 are slidably connected to the silo seat 21. Each of the first and second adjustment seats 22 and 23 has adjustment holes for mating with the silo seat 21 and is threadedly connected to the silo seat 21 through the adjustment holes. The adjustment holes are of a predetermined length to allow for movement and secure installation of the first and second adjustment seats 22 and 23 relative to the silo seat 21. Furthermore, a silo connector 24 and a silo sensor 25 are disposed between the first and second adjustment seats 22 and 23. The silo connector 24 is located above the adaptable silo 2 and serves to further secure the first and second adjustment seats 22 and 23. The silo sensor 25 senses the terminal materials. As the stacked terminal materials are continuously transported and consumed, their height decreases. When the silo sensor 25 fails to sense terminal materials at the specified height, it alerts the operator to add more terminal materials.

[0028] The adjustable transfer structure 3 includes a material picking assembly 31, a material pushing assembly 32, and a transfer assembly 33 that cooperate with the adapting material bin 2. The material picking assembly 31 is used to remove terminal materials from the adapting material bin 2. The material picking assembly 31 includes a material picking moving block 311 that is slidably connected to the adapting material bin 2 and a material picking driving member for driving the material picking moving block 311. The material picking driving member is a cylinder. Under the drive of the material picking driving member, the material picking moving block 311 can move closer to or away from the transfer assembly 33. More specifically, the silo seat 21 is provided with a pushing track groove for cooperating with the material picking moving block 311, and the material picking moving block 311 is slidably connected to the pushing track groove. The material picking moving block 311 has a material picking limit groove 3111 for cooperating with the placement of terminals; the material picking moving block 311 is also provided with a material picking adjustment block 3112 for adjusting the material picking limit groove 3111, and the material picking adjustment block 3112 is slidably connected to the material picking moving block 311.

[0029] When the size of the terminal material changes, the size of the material stop slot 3111 can be adjusted to accommodate the change in size by simply adjusting the position of the material adjustment block 3112. During material removal, the material driver drives the material movement block 311 to the bottom of the accommodating cavity, allowing the terminal material to fall into the material stop slot 3111. The driver then drives the material movement block 311 to one side of the transfer assembly 33, where the pusher assembly 32 pushes the terminal material into the transfer assembly 33.

[0030] The push assembly 32 faces the transfer assembly 33. The push assembly 32 includes a push drive 321 provided on the base 1 and a push block 322 provided on the push drive 321. The push drive 321 is a cylinder. The push block 322 faces the material removal moving block 311. The push block 322 is inserted into the material removal limit slot 3111 or is separated from the material removal limit slot 3111. The transfer assembly 33 includes a transfer fixture 331 provided on the base 1. The transfer fixture 331 has a transfer limit slot 3311. The transfer limit slot 3311 is aligned with or offset from the material removal limit slot 3111. The transfer fixture 331 is provided with a transfer adjustment block 332 for adjusting the size of the transfer limit slot 3311. By adjusting the position of the transfer adjustment block 332, the size of the transfer limit slot 3311 can be adjusted to accommodate terminal materials of different specifications.

[0031] When the material picking moving block 311 moves to one side of the transfer component 33, the pushing block 322 will be aligned with the material picking limit slot 3111 and the transfer limit slot 3311. At this time, the pushing drive 321 drives the pushing block 322 to move and push the terminal into the transfer limit slot 3311. The terminal material pushed to the transfer limit slot 3311 will be taken away by the loading structure 4 and transported to the welding equipment.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 3The feeding structure 4 includes a feeding guide rail 41, and the feeding guide rail 41 is provided with a conveying assembly 42. In this embodiment, the feeding guide rail 41 is provided with a belt transmission mechanism, and the conveying assembly 42 is provided on the belt transmission mechanism. Under the operation of the belt transmission mechanism, the conveying assembly 42 moves along the feeding guide rail 41. The conveying assembly 42 includes a conveying guide rail 421 provided on the feeding guide rail 41, and the axis of the conveying guide rail 421 is perpendicular to the axis of the feeding guide rail 41. The conveying guide rail 421 is provided with a conveying lifting member 422, which is a cylinder. The conveying lifting member 422 is provided with a conveying clamping block 423. Under the drive of the conveying lifting member 422, the conveying clamping block 423 will reciprocate and rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0033] The transport clamp 423 includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp that can move toward or away from each other. The transport clamp 423 can also be a pneumatic finger. A transfer positioning slot 3312 is provided on one side of the transfer fixture 331 for the transport clamp 423. The transport clamp 423 faces the transfer positioning slot 3312. When the terminal material is fed into the transfer limit slot 3311, the transport clamp 423 opens and extends into the transfer positioning slot 3312. The transport clamp 423 then clamps the terminal material and lifts it, removing it from the transfer limit slot 3311. Finally, the transport clamp 423 transports the terminal material to the welding equipment for processing.
