[0032] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. For ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This embodiment provides an alternating feeding device, comprising:

[0036] The base frame 1 includes a feeding table 11 and a feeding trough 12. The feeding table 11 includes a first conveying area 111 and a second conveying area 112. The feeding trough 12 is arranged on the feeding table 11 along the X direction, and the first conveying area 111 and the second conveying area 112 are connected through the feeding trough 12.

[0037] The feeding mechanism includes a control component and two feeding components 2 arranged parallel to each other. The feeding component 2 can be movably arranged in the feeding trough 12 along the X direction and is located in the first conveying area 111, and is used to push the material in the first conveying area 111 to the second conveying area 112; the control component is installed on the base frame 1, and is used to control the two feeding components 2 to move alternately along the X direction.

[0038] In the present technical solution, two feeding components 2 arranged parallel to each other are respectively the first feeding component 2 and the second feeding component 2. The connector shells to be inserted are transported into the feeding workbench 11 for insertion operation. When a group of connector shells enters the first conveying area 111 of the feeding workbench 11, the control component first controls the first feeding component 2 to move along the X direction through the group of connector shells and reach the side of the group of connector shells away from the second conveying area 112. Then the control component controls the first feeding component 2 to move back along the X direction to drive the connector shells to the area in the first conveying area 111 for insertion operation. After the group of connector shells completes the insertion operation, the control component controls the first feeding component 2 to continue moving to push the connector shells after insertion to the second conveying area 112.

[0039] When the first group of connector shells are performing the pin insertion operation, the control component will simultaneously control the second feeding component 2 to move along the X direction to the side of the next group of connector shells away from the second conveying area 112. Then, when the first group of connector shells complete the pin insertion operation and are pushed to the second conveying area 112, the second group of connector shells will be pushed to the pin insertion area by the second feeding component 2 for pin insertion. At the same time, after the first feeding component 2 pushes the first group of connector shells to the second conveying area 112, it will move to the third group of connector shells transported into the feeding workbench 11 to perform the pushing operation of the next group of connection shells, thereby realizing the alternating feeding operation of the connector shells to be inserted, reducing the feeding time, and effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0040] In addition, a plurality of material positioning members 13 are provided on the feeding workbench 11. The material positioning members 13 are composed of a fixed block, a positioning block, and a telescopic spring. The fixed block is fixed to the feeding workbench 11 by means of fasteners, and the positioning block is movably installed in the feeding workbench 11 along the Z direction. The positioning block and the fixed block are connected by a telescopic spring. When the connector housing in the feeding trough 12 is located below the positioning block, the end of the positioning block abuts against the connector housing, positioning the connector housing on the feeding trough 12, facilitating the pin insertion operation. It is worth mentioning that an inclined chamfer structure is also provided on the end of the positioning block to facilitate the connector housing to contact the positioning block along the X direction and move below the positioning block.

[0041] Furthermore, the feeding component 2 includes:

[0042] A fixing seat 21, which is installed on the output end of the control component;

[0043] a paddle 22 rotatably mounted on the fixing base 21 ;

[0044] The reset member is installed between the paddle 22 and the fixing seat 21 and is used for rotating and resetting the paddle 22 .

[0045] In this technical solution, the first feeding component 2 and the second feeding component 2 are both composed of a fixed seat 21, a paddle 22 and a reset member. One end of the paddle 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 21, and the other end is located in the feeding trough 12.

[0046] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the paddle 22 includes a connecting portion 221, which is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 21; a pushing portion 222, which is located in the feed chute 12 and is provided with an inclined surface 223 and a pushing surface 224. When the inclined surface 223 comes into contact with the material, the connecting portion 221 rotates with the fixed seat 21. A mounting slot is defined within the fixed seat 21. The connecting portion 221 of the paddle 22 is located within the mounting slot and is hingedly connected to the fixed seat 21. One end of the connecting portion 221 along the X-direction abuts the bottom of the mounting slot, while the other end along the X-direction is provided with an inclined structure, creating a certain gap between the paddle 22 and the mounting slot. The reset member may be a spring, which is installed in the gap between the paddle 22 and the mounting slot. The fixed seat 21 of the feeding component 2 is driven by the control component to move along the X direction, driving the paddle 22 to move along the X direction; when the inclined surface 223 of the paddle 22 contacts the connector housing in the feeding trough 12, the connector housing will push the paddle 22 to rotate clockwise, so that the paddle 22 can pass through the connector housing; when the pushing surface 224 of the paddle 22 contacts the connector housing in the feeding trough 12, since one end of the connecting part 221 abuts against the mounting groove, the counterclockwise rotation of the paddle 22 is limited, so that the paddle 22 can push the connector housing to move along the X direction.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] This embodiment provides an alternating feeding device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0049] Furthermore, the control component includes:

[0050] Two screw modules 3 are installed on the base frame 1 and respectively control a corresponding fixing seat 21 to move along the X direction.

[0051] In this technical solution, the control component is composed of two screw modules 3. Each screw module 3 independently controls the movement of one feeding component 2 along the X direction, thereby enabling the two feeding components 2 to move alternately along the X direction. Specifically, the screw module 3 includes a screw, a slide, a slide rail, and a drive motor. The screw and the slide rail are mounted on the base 1 in parallel with each other. The slide is mounted on the slide rail so as to move along the X direction and is threadedly connected to the screw. The fixed seat 21 of the feeding component 2 is fixedly connected to the slide. The drive motor controls the rotation of the screw to drive the slide to move along the slide rail, thereby driving the fixed seat 21 to move, thereby enabling the paddle 22 of the feeding component 2 to move along the X direction.

[0052] Furthermore, the control component also includes a displacement monitoring module 4, which is mounted on the base frame 1 and is used to monitor the movement of the fixed seat 21 in the X direction. The displacement detection module can be a displacement sensor, specifically a photoelectric sensor, which is mounted on both ends of the slide rail along the X direction. When the slide passes the photoelectric sensor at one end, the motor stops and reverses to control the slide to move in the opposite direction. Then, when the slide passes the photoelectric sensor at the other end, the motor stops and reverses again, thereby achieving automatic back and forth movement of the feeding component 2 along the X direction.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] This embodiment provides an alternating feeding device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0055] Furthermore, it also includes a discharging mechanism, which includes:

[0056] The discharging component 5 is movable along the X direction and is disposed in the feeding trough 12 and is located in the second conveying area 112 for pushing the material in the second conveying area 112;

[0057] The driving component is installed on the base frame 1 and is used to control the discharge component 5 to move along the X direction.

[0058] In this technical solution, the specific structure of the discharge component 5 is the same as that of the feed component 2 and will not be described in detail. When a connector housing is fed into the second conveying area 112, the drive component controls the discharge component 5 to move back and forth in the lower X-direction, using the discharge component 5 to push the connector housing in the second conveying area 112 to the next production station.

[0059] Furthermore, the driving component includes:

[0060] The slider guide rail module 6 is installed on the base frame 1, and the discharge component 5 is installed on the slider guide rail module 6;

[0061] The driving cylinder 7 is installed on the base frame 1 and is used to drive the discharging component 5 to move along the X direction.

[0062] Through this structural design, the slider guide module 6 is used to guide the movement of the discharge component 5 along the X direction, and the driving cylinder 7 is used to drive the discharge component 5 to move quickly along the X direction, so that the connector housing in the second conveying area 112 can be quickly pushed to the next production station, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of this application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of this application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of this application.
