[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a crimping system 100 for an insulator product, including a crimping machine 110, a support platform 120, and a positioning mechanism 130. The support platform 120 is located on one side of the crimping machine 110. A core rod support device 140 and at least one hardware support device 150 are provided on the support platform 120. The core rod support device 140 is used to support the core rod and control the movement of the core rod. The hardware support device 150 is used to support the hardware and control the movement of the hardware. The hardware support device 150 is provided on the core rod support device 140. 0, so as to facilitate the connection of the hardware to the core rod; the positioning mechanism 130 is located between the support platform 120 and the crimping machine 110, and is used to movably abut the hardware when the hardware is sleeved on the end of the core rod; wherein, when the crimping system 100 is working, the core rod supporting device 140 and the hardware supporting device 150 cooperate to move at least one of the core rod and the hardware, so that the hardware is sleeved on the end of the core rod, and the crimping machine 110 crimps the hardware sleeved on the core rod to form an insulator product.

[0024] The crimping system 100 in this application is mainly used for producing insulator products. The crimping system 100 can adjust some parameters according to actual production requirements, such as the length of the insulator product, the crimping position of the hardware, etc.

[0025] In one embodiment, after the mandrel is placed on the mandrel support device 140 and the hardware is placed on the hardware support device 150, the crimping system 100 can begin the socketing operation of the mandrel and the hardware. The crimping system 100 controls the mandrel support device 140 to push the mandrel toward the hardware, while the hardware support device 150 remains fixed and does not move until the hardware is socketed onto the end of the mandrel. In other embodiments, after the mandrel and the hardware are placed separately, the mandrel support device can be controlled to remain fixed and the crimping system can control the hardware support device to push the hardware toward the mandrel; or the mandrel support device and the hardware support device can be controlled to move toward each other at the same time until the hardware is socketed onto the end of the mandrel. No specific limitation is imposed here.

[0026] In one application scenario, a socketing position can be preset in the crimping system 100, the mandrel is transported to the preset socketing position by the mandrel supporting device 140, and the hardware supporting device 150 transports the hardware to the preset socketing position. The crimping system 100 controls at least one of the mandrel supporting device 140 and the hardware supporting device 150 to move at the preset socketing position to socket the hardware onto the end of the mandrel.

[0027] In one embodiment, a hardware support device 150 can be provided, which is located on one side of the mandrel support device 140. The mandrel can be placed on the mandrel support device 140 first, and one hardware is placed on the hardware support device 150. After completing the first sleeve and crimping operation, the hardware can be assembled on one end of the mandrel. Then, another hardware is placed on the hardware support device 150, the direction of the mandrel is turned, and the second sleeve and crimping operation is completed, and the other hardware can be assembled on the other end of the mandrel.

[0028] In another embodiment, two hardware support devices 150 can be provided, which are respectively located on both sides of the mandrel support device 140. The mandrel can be placed on the mandrel support device 140 first, and the two hardware can be placed on the two hardware support devices 150 respectively, and the first socketing and crimping operation and the second socketing and crimping operation are completed in sequence, making the production cycle more compact and the efficiency higher.

[0029] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support platform 120 includes a first support plate 121, a rotating mechanism 122, and a lifting mechanism 123. The core rod support device 140 and the hardware support device 150 are arranged on the first support plate 121; the rotating mechanism 122 is arranged below the first support plate 121, and is used to drive the first support plate 121 to rotate, so that the direction of the core rod and the hardware can be adjusted according to the operation requirements; the lifting mechanism 123 is arranged below the first support plate 121, and is used to adjust the height of the first support plate 121, so that the height of the core rod and the hardware can be controlled.

[0030] In one embodiment, the rotating mechanism 122 includes a rotating base 1221 and a rotating power assembly 1222. The rotating base 1221 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 121. The rotating power assembly 1222 is connected to the rotating base 1221 through a speed regulator and is used to drive the rotating base 1221 to rotate. Specifically, the rotating base 1221 includes a base 12211 and a turntable 12212. The base 12211 is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism 123 through fasteners such as bolts and nuts. The turntable 12212 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 12211. The turntable 12212 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 121 through fasteners such as bolts and nuts. The rotating power assembly 1222 is connected to the turntable 12212 through a speed regulator and is used to drive the turntable 12212 to rotate, thereby driving the mandrel and hardware on the first support plate 121 to rotate around the axis of the turntable 12212, thereby changing the position of the end of the mandrel and hardware. It is understandable that the rotating power component 1222 can be a power source such as a motor, and no specific limitation is given here.

[0031] Furthermore, a zero position detection component can be provided on the first support plate 121 to detect whether the working position of the first support plate 121 is accurate. When the first support plate 121 is in the working position, the core rod, the hardware, and the positions where the two are crimped at the crimping machine 110 are located on the same straight line, so that the core rod and the hardware can be directly coaxially sleeved, and after the hardware is sleeved on the core rod, it can be directly moved along the axial direction of the core rod to the crimping machine 110 for subsequent crimping operations, making the movement path of the core rod and the hardware simpler and faster, thereby improving production efficiency. If the zero position detection component detects that the first support plate 121 is not accurately located at the working position, the first support plate 121 can be controlled to rotate to the working position through the rotating mechanism 122. It is understandable that the zero position detection component can be a detection device or circuit such as a laser detection sensor, as long as it can achieve the corresponding function, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0032] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 123 includes a base plate 1231, a guide assembly 1232, a first lifting plate 1233, a second lifting plate 1234 and a lifting power assembly 1235. The guide assembly 1232 is arranged on the base plate 1231 in the vertical direction. The guide assembly 1232 includes two guide plates 12321. The two guide plates 12321 are arranged on the base plate 1231 with a spacing and relative to each other. The two guide plates 12321 are correspondingly provided with guide rails in the vertical direction; the first lifting plate 1233 is located below the first support plate 121, and the first lifting plate 1233 is slidably connected to the guide assembly 1232, that is, the first lifting plate 1233 is fixedly connected to the base 12211 by fasteners such as bolts and nuts, and the two ends of the first lifting plate 1233 are respectively connected by sliding The block is slidably connected to the guide rails on the two guide plates 12321; the second lifting plate 1234 is fixed to the bottom of the first lifting plate 1233 through the lifting guide column 1236, that is, the lifting guide column 1236 passes through the bottom plate 1231 in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower ends of the lifting guide column 1236 are respectively fixedly connected to the first lifting plate 1233 and the second lifting plate 1234 by fasteners such as bolts and nuts, so that the first lifting plate 1233 and the second lifting plate 1234 are both arranged in the horizontal direction; the lifting power assembly 1235 is fixed to the bottom of the second lifting plate 1234, and is used to drive the second lifting plate 1234 to move in the vertical direction, so as to drive the first lifting plate 1233 to move on the guide assembly 1232, thereby controlling the height of the core rod and the hardware on the first support plate 121. It can be understood that the lifting power assembly 1235 can be a power source such as a motor or a cylinder, and no specific limitation is made here. Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first lifting plate 1233 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 122. In other embodiments, the first lifting plate can be directly fixed below the first supporting plate.

[0033] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 123 further includes a plurality of limiters 1237. The limiters 1237 are disposed on the upper side of the guide assembly 1232 and above the first lifting plate 1233. The limiters 1237 are configured to abut against the first lifting plate 1233 to limit the maximum travel height of the first lifting plate 1233. On the one hand, the limiters 1237 can constrain the first lifting plate 1233 to a target crimping height, facilitating subsequent crimping operations by the crimping system 100 directly at that height without requiring secondary height adjustments, thereby improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the limiters can prevent the first lifting plate 1233 from moving excessively and potentially damaging other components of the equipment, thereby extending the service life of the crimping system 100.

[0034] The limiting members 1237 can be limit plates, each of which is horizontally fixed to the top of each of the two guide plates 12321. The two limit plates are positioned close to each other, and the horizontal projections of the two ends of the two limit plates and the first lifting plate 1233 partially overlap. This area is defined as the limit zone. When the lifting mechanism 123 is in operation, the lifting power assembly 1235 drives the second lifting plate 1234 upward, driving the first lifting plate 1233 to continue moving upward until the first lifting plate 1233 abuts the limit zone of the limit plates, reaching its maximum travel height and stopping.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the maximum moving height of the first lifting plate 1233, a screw hole can be opened in the limiting area on the limiting plate, and a limiting nut is provided in the screw hole. When the lifting mechanism 123 is in operation, the lifting power assembly 1235 drives the second lifting plate 1234 to move upward, driving the first lifting plate 1233 to continue to move upward until the first lifting plate 1233 abuts the bottom of the limiting nut on the limiting plate, reaches the maximum moving height and stops moving. By adjusting the height of the limiting nut, the maximum moving height of the first lifting plate 1233 can be easily adjusted, which facilitates the rapid limitation of core rods and hardware of different specifications to the target crimping height for crimping operations, while expanding the application range of the crimping system 100 and making the production cycle more compact and more efficient. It is understandable that the number of limiting nuts can be two, three, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0036] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 123 further includes a plurality of auxiliary support members 1238, which are rotatably disposed on the top of the guide assembly 1232 and abut the first support plate 121, thereby providing auxiliary support for the first support plate 121. The provision of the auxiliary support members 1238 ensures a more stable and reliable placement of the mandrel and fittings on the first support plate 121, preventing unstable placement from affecting the sleeve connection and crimping operations, thereby affecting product quality. Furthermore, when the first support plate 121 rotates, the auxiliary support members 1238 rotate with it, reducing friction between the two, slowing wear on the equipment, and extending its service life.

[0037] The auxiliary support members 1238 can be roller structures. Both guide plates 12321 are provided with auxiliary plates. The auxiliary support members 1238 are mounted on the auxiliary plates and abut the lower surface of the first support plate 121. Multiple auxiliary support members 1238 can be used to increase the number of support points of the lifting mechanism 123 on the first support plate 121, ensuring effective support. It is understood that the specific number and placement of the auxiliary support members 1238 can be adjusted based on support requirements and are not specifically limited herein.

[0038] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the mandrel supporting device 140 comprises a mandrel supporting mechanism 141 for supporting the mandrel and a mandrel moving mechanism 142 arranged at the bottom of the mandrel supporting mechanism 141 for controlling the movement of the mandrel.

[0039] In an embodiment, the mandrel supporting mechanism 141 comprises a second supporting plate 1411 arranged on the mandrel moving mechanism 142, a plurality of mandrel supporting seats 1412 arranged on the second supporting plate 1411 at intervals for supporting the mandrel in cooperation, and a mandrel detecting assembly 1413 arranged on the second supporting plate 1411 for detecting whether there is a mandrel on the mandrel supporting seat 1412.

[0040] The mandrel supporting seat 1412 can be arranged as a V-shaped plate arranged on the second supporting plate 1411 in the vertical direction, and a plurality of V-shaped plates are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the mandrel for placing the mandrel. Further, a fixing member can be arranged on the mandrel supporting seat 1412 for fixing the mandrel, for example, the fixing member can also be arranged as a V-shaped plate, the V-shaped plates of the mandrel supporting seat 1412 and the fixing member are arranged towards each other, and the mandrel is placed in the V-shaped opening of the mandrel supporting seat 1412, the mandrel supporting seat 1412 and the fixing member are controlled to move towards each other to clamp and fix the mandrel; or the fixing member can be arranged as a downward pressing member, after the mandrel is placed in the V-shaped opening of the plurality of mandrel supporting seats 1412, the downward pressing member is controlled to move downward to press and fix the mandrel. For another example, a downward pressing member can also be arranged directly on the second supporting plate 1411, the downward pressing member is located between any two mandrel supporting seats 1412, after the mandrel is placed in the V-shaped opening of the two mandrel supporting seats 1412, the downward pressing member is controlled to move downward to press and fix the mandrel.

[0041] The mandrel detecting assembly 1413 can be arranged on the mandrel supporting seat 1412, for example, it can be arranged in the groove at the opening of the V-shaped plate, or it can be arranged on one side of the V-shaped plate, or the mandrel detecting assembly 1413 can be arranged on the second supporting plate 1411 for detecting whether there is a mandrel on the mandrel supporting seat 1412. It can be understood that the mandrel detecting assembly 1413 can be a laser detecting sensor, a weight detecting sensor or other detecting devices or circuits, which are not limited here.

[0042] In one embodiment, the mandrel moving mechanism 142 includes a first guide rail 1421, a first power assembly 1422 and a first transmission assembly (not shown in the figure), the first guide rail 1421 is arranged along a first direction, and the first guide rail 1421 is connected to the mandrel support mechanism 141 through a first slider, wherein the first direction is the direction from the socketing position of the mandrel and the hardware to the crimping position of the crimping hardware of the crimping machine 110, so as to facilitate the mandrel to be moved to the crimping machine 110 for crimping through the mandrel moving mechanism 142 after the socketing is completed; the first power assembly 1422 is arranged at one end of the first guide rail 1421; the first transmission assembly is arranged at the bottom of the mandrel support mechanism 141, the first transmission assembly is connected to the power output end of the first power assembly 1422, and the first transmission assembly is used to transmit the power output of the first power assembly 1422 to the mandrel support mechanism 141, and control the mandrel support mechanism 141 to move on the first guide rail 1421. It is understandable that the first power assembly 1422 can be a power source such as a motor, a cylinder, etc.; the first transmission assembly can be a screw transmission structure, a gear transmission structure, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] Combine Figure 4 In one embodiment, the hardware support device 150 includes a hardware support mechanism 151 and a hardware moving mechanism 152. The hardware support mechanism 151 is used to support the hardware; the hardware moving mechanism 152 is arranged at the bottom of the hardware support mechanism 151 and is used to control the movement of the hardware.

[0044] The hardware support mechanism 151 includes a third support plate 1511, a hardware support seat 1512 and a hardware detection assembly 1513. The third support plate 1511 is arranged on the hardware moving mechanism 152; the hardware support seat 1512 is arranged on the third support plate 1511 for supporting the hardware; the hardware detection assembly 1513 is arranged on the third support plate 1511 or the hardware support seat 1512 for detecting whether there is a hardware on the hardware support seat 1512.

[0045] In order to stably place the fittings, the fitting support seat 1512 can be provided with a receiving cavity matched with the shape of the fitting. For example, when the number of fitting support devices 150 is one, the receiving cavity of the fitting support seat 1512 can be shaped to match the shape of the two fittings of the insulator product. For another example, when the number of fitting support devices 150 is two, the receiving cavities of the two fitting support seats 1512 can be shaped to match the shape of the two fittings of the insulator product respectively, so that the fitting sleeve connection work of the two fittings of the insulator product can be completed without replacing the fitting support seat 1512. Alternatively, a clamping piece can be provided in the fitting support device 150, which is a rotatable pressing mechanism. When the fitting needs to be placed on the fitting support seat 1512, the clamping piece is controlled to rotate upward to facilitate the placement of the fitting. When the fitting is preliminarily placed on the fitting support seat 1512, the clamping piece is controlled to rotate downward until the fitting is stably placed in the receiving cavity of the fitting support seat 1512. When the positioning mechanism 130 needs to abut against the fitting, the clamping piece is controlled to rotate upward to release the fitting, so as to facilitate the torsional movement of the fitting.

[0046] The fitting detection assembly 1513 can be provided on the fitting support seat 1512, for example, in the receiving cavity of the fitting support seat 1512, or on the top of the fitting support seat 1512. Alternatively, the fitting detection assembly 1513 can be provided on the third support plate 1511, for detecting whether there is a fitting on the fitting support seat 1512. It can be understood that the fitting detection assembly 1513 can be a laser detection sensor, a weight detection sensor or other detection devices or circuits, which are not limited here.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the movement of the sleeved core rod to the crimping machine 110 for crimping, the hardware support mechanism 151 needs to be moved to the range of motion for exiting the core rod, so a hardware moving mechanism 152 is provided. For example, the hardware support mechanism 151 can be controlled to move downward to exit. The hardware moving mechanism 152 includes a second guide rail 1521 and a second power assembly 1522. The second guide rail 1521 is vertically arranged on the first support plate 121. The second guide rail 1521 is connected to the hardware support mechanism 151 through a second slider. The second power assembly 1522 is arranged on the first support plate 121 and is located on one side of the second guide rail 1521. The power output end of the second power assembly 1522 is connected to the hardware support mechanism 151. Used to control the movement of the hardware support mechanism 151 on the second guide rail 1521; correspondingly, the hardware support mechanism 151 and the mandrel support mechanism 141 can be pre-set to be located in the first direction. In this way, when the hardware is placed on the hardware support mechanism 151 and the mandrel is placed on the mandrel support mechanism 141, the mandrel and the hardware are directly coaxially arranged in the first direction. In this way, the zero position detection component is used to detect whether the first support plate 121 is aligned with the crimping machine 110 to determine whether the first support plate 121 is accurately located in the operating position. It is understandable that the second power component 1522 can be a power source such as a motor or a cylinder, and no specific limitation is given here. Alternatively, the hardware support mechanism 151 can also be controlled to move and exit along the second direction, where the second direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the first direction in the horizontal plane. The hardware moving mechanism 152 can still adopt the aforementioned structure, and it is only necessary to adjust the setting direction of the second guide rail 1521 and connect the components accordingly. No further details will be given; correspondingly, the zero-position detection component can be used to detect whether the hardware and core rod on the first support plate 121 are coaxial, and to detect whether the first support plate 121 is aligned with the crimping machine 110, so as to determine whether the first support plate 121 is accurately located in the working position.

[0048] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the rapid cooperation between the hardware support device 150 and the mandrel support device 140 to sleeve the hardware onto the end of the mandrel, a mechanism that can move along the first direction can also be provided in the hardware support device 150 to control the hardware support mechanism 151 to move toward the mandrel support mechanism 141. The specific structure can be referred to the mandrel moving mechanism 142 and will not be repeated here.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, positioning mechanism 130 includes a positioning assembly 131 and a moving assembly 132. Positioning assembly 131 is configured to flexibly abut the hardware to be socketed, while moving assembly 132 is configured to control the movement of positioning assembly 131. Positioning mechanism 130 simulates the twisting motion during manual socketing by flexing positioning assembly 131 against the hardware to be socketed. Simultaneously, mandrel moving mechanism 142 drives the mandrel to move. This coordinated twisting of the hardware and movement of the mandrel allows the mandrel to be socketed into the elongated inner cavity of the hardware, ensuring socketing quality.

[0050] In one embodiment, the positioning assembly 131 includes a positioning base 1311, a first positioning plate 1312, a second positioning plate 1313 and a positioning roller 1314. The positioning base 1311 is a step-type block structure, including a first cavity 13111 and a second cavity 13112 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first cavity 13111 is used to install the first positioning plate 1312, the second positioning plate 1313 and the positioning roller 1314. The second cavity 13112 is used to accommodate part of the hardware support seat 1512 so that the positioning assembly 131 can fully abut the hardware. The first positioning plate 1312 is arranged on the positioning base 1311 in a vertical direction, and the first positioning plate 1312 is arranged along the second direction to facilitate abutment against the end of the hardware to be sleeved. The second positioning plate 1313 is connected to the It is connected to the bottom end of the first positioning plate 1312, and the upper plate surface of the second positioning plate 1313 is inclined downward in the direction away from the first positioning plate 1312. For example, the second positioning plate 1313 can be a plate with a trapezoidal cross-section, and the plate surface where its lower bottom is located is fixed to the bottom end of the first positioning plate 1312 in the vertical direction, or the second positioning plate 1313 can be an ordinary plate, which is directly fixed to the bottom end of the first positioning plate 1312 along the above-mentioned inclined direction. No specific restrictions are made here; the positioning roller 1314 is a rotatable roller structure, which is arranged on the positioning base 1311 in the vertical direction and the positioning roller 1314 is located on one side of the first positioning plate 1312. The positioning roller 1314 cooperates with the first positioning plate 1312 and the second positioning plate 1313 to movably abut against the hardware of the front socket.

[0051] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the movement of the sleeved core rod to the crimping machine 110 for crimping, the positioning mechanism 130 needs to be moved to the range of motion for exiting the core rod, so a moving assembly 132 is provided. For example, the positioning assembly 131 can be controlled to move and exit along the second direction. The moving assembly 132 includes a mounting plate 1321, a moving guide rail 1322, and a moving power assembly 1323. The mounting plate 1321 is an L-shaped plate, which is arranged in the vertical direction. The cavity of the L-shaped plate partially overlaps with the second cavity 13112, which can allow the core rod to pass through and move to the crimping machine 110 for crimping. The mounting plate 1321 can be arranged on the side of the crimping machine 110 close to the support platform 120, so that the layout of the crimping system 100 is more compact and saves floor space, or it can be directly ... On the ground, no specific restrictions are made here; the movable guide rail 1322 is set on the mounting plate 1321 along the second direction, and the positioning assembly 131 is connected to the movable guide rail 1322 through a movable slider, that is, the side of the positioning base 1311 close to the crimping machine 110 is slidably connected to the movable guide rail 1322; the movable power assembly 1323 is set on the mounting plate 1321 and is located on one side of the movable guide rail 1322, and the power output end of the movable power assembly 1323 is connected to the positioning assembly 131, which is used to control the positioning assembly 131 to move on the movable guide rail 1322. It can be understood that the movable power assembly 1323 can be a power source such as a motor or a cylinder, and no specific restrictions are made here. Alternatively, the positioning assembly 131 can also be controlled to move and exit in the vertical direction, and the movable assembly 132 can still adopt the aforementioned structure. It is only necessary to adjust the setting direction of the movable guide rail 1322 and connect each assembly accordingly, and no further details will be given.

[0052] When sleeving, first place the mandrel on the mandrel support seat 1412, place the fitting in the accommodating cavity of the fitting support seat 1512, then control the moving assembly 132 to drive the positioning assembly 131 to move in the second direction to the first direction, at this time the fitting support seat 1512 is partially accommodated in the second cavity 13112, and the inclined upper plate surface of the second positioning plate 1313 abuts against the end of the fitting, then control the mandrel moving mechanism 142 to move the mandrel in the first direction to push the mandrel towards the fitting, under the resistance of the accommodating cavity of the fitting support seat 1512, the end of the mandrel is preliminarily sleeved into the cavity of the fitting; continue to move the mandrel by the mandrel moving mechanism 142, the fitting will move towards the positioning mechanism 130 under the action of the pushing force, that is, push the fitting to move along the inclined upper plate surface of the second positioning plate 1313 to abut against the first positioning plate 1312 and the positioning roller 1314, since this abutting mode has a certain movement allowance, the fitting will be twisted in the first cavity 13111, under the continuous pushing of the mandrel moving mechanism 142, it will continue to twist to make the mandrel continuously move into the cavity of the fitting, until the fitting is completely sleeved on the end of the mandrel, and the sleeving operation is completed. After the sleeving is completed, control the moving assembly 132 to drive the positioning assembly 131 to exit in the second direction, to reserve space for subsequent movement of the mandrel sleeved with the fitting to the crimping machine 110 for crimping.

[0053] Further, in order to protect the positioning mechanism 130, a limiting assembly 133 can be arranged in the positioning mechanism 130, the limiting assembly 133 includes an abutting plate 1331 and a buffer 1332, the abutting plate 1331 is an L-shaped plate piece, the abutting plate 1331 is fixedly connected with the positioning assembly 131, that is, the long edge end of the abutting plate 1331 is fixedly connected on the plate surface of the positioning base 1311 near the crimping machine 110, and the long edge of the abutting plate 1331 extends towards the side near the moving assembly 132, and the short edge of the abutting plate 1331 is used for abutting against the buffer 1332; the buffer 1332 is arranged on the mounting plate 1321 and located on the movement path of the short edge of the abutting plate 1331, and the maximum movement distance of the moving assembly 132 is limited by abutting the buffer 1332 through the abutting plate 1331. When the moving assembly 132 drives the positioning assembly 131 to move in the second direction, the abutting plate 1331 will be moved, and stop moving gradually by abutting against the buffer 1332 when the abutting plate 1331 abuts against the buffer 1332, at this time the positioning assembly 131 is located at the target abutting position. By arranging the limiting assembly 133, on the one hand, it can play a buffering and damping role, prolong the service life of the equipment, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the positioning assembly 131 to quickly move to the target abutting position, and improve the production efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, since the hardware structures at both ends of the insulator product are generally different, in order to ensure the matching of the positioning mechanism 130 and the hardware to ensure the movable abutment effect, the present application sets two positioning mechanisms 130 of different sizes, that is, the first positioning plate 1312, the second positioning plate 1313 and the positioning roller 1314 are of different sizes to match the hardware of different movable abutment structures. The two positioning mechanisms 130 are both arranged between the crimping machine 110 and the support platform 120, and the two positioning rollers 1314 are arranged relative to each other. It is understandable that the two positioning components 131 are close to each other, and the two moving components 132 are far away from each other, so that the two moving components 132 can drive their respective positioning components 131 to move and avoid mutual interference. It is understandable that the specific size and installation position of the two positioning mechanisms 130 can be adjusted according to the socket requirements, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0055] Combine Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, in order to ensure that the hardware is accurately sleeved on the core rod before the crimping operation is carried out to avoid the generation of waste, the crimping system 100 also includes a detection mechanism 160 for detecting whether the sleeve position of the hardware on the core rod is accurate, the detection mechanism 160 includes a detection base 161, a fourth power assembly 162, a guide column 163 (the marks in the figure are only for reference), a reference member 164, a spring member 165 and a sleeve detection assembly 166, the detection base 161 is arranged on the other side of the crimping machine 110; the fourth power assembly 162 is arranged on the detection base 161, the power output end of the fourth power assembly 162 faces the crimping machine 110 and is connected to a first baffle 167, and the first baffle 167 is provided with a first through hole; the guide column 163 passes through the first through hole and is connected to the first baffle 167 through a fastener 168, and the fourth power assembly 162 is provided with a first through hole. The force component 162 drives the first baffle 167 to move and thus controls the guide column 163 to move along the first direction. The fastener 168 can be a connecting part such as a sleeve; the reference part 164 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide column 163 close to the crimping machine 110 through the second baffle 169, and is used to abut the hardware sleeved on the end of the core rod, that is, before crimping the hardware sleeved on the end of the core rod or during the crimping process, the reference part 164 is used to abut the hardware. The reference part 164 can be an elastomer, so that when abutting the hardware, it can avoid damaging the surface of the hardware and affecting the product quality; the spring part 165 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide column 163, and the two ends of the spring part 165 abut the fastener 168 and the second baffle 169 respectively; the sleeve detection component 166 is arranged on the detection base 161, and is used to detect whether the spring part 165 is deformed. On the one hand, before crimping, the detection mechanism 160 can detect whether the fitting is correctly positioned on the core rod, thereby avoiding direct crimping due to the fitting not being properly positioned and resulting in waste, waste of materials and labor; on the other hand, when the fitting is crimped, the detection mechanism 160 can abut the end of the fitting that is not connected to the core rod, thereby avoiding displacement of the fitting and causing the crimping position to shift, thereby affecting product quality.

[0056] Among them, the socket detection component 166 includes a detection sensor 1661 and a detection plate 1662. The detection sensor 1661 can be a laser detection sensor, including a detection base arranged on the detection base 161, a transmitter and a receiver arranged on the detection base relatively along the second direction, the transmitter is used to generate a laser signal, and the receiver is used to receive the laser signal generated by the transmitter, and the two cooperate with each other to detect whether the detection plate 1662 is displaced; the detection plate 1662 is an L-shaped structure, including a first plate and a second plate connected vertically, the first plate is fixedly connected to the second baffle 169, and the second plate is partially passed through between the transmitter and the receiver. The bottom of the second plate is provided with a notch matching the size of the transmitter and the receiver for the laser signal to pass through.

[0057] When the detection mechanism 160 is running, the fourth power assembly 162 can be used to first drive the first baffle 167 to move, and drive the guide column 163 and the second baffle 169 connected thereto to move, so that the reference piece 164 on the second baffle 169 stays at the preset crimping position. In this way, when the sleeve position of the hardware on the core rod is accurate, the core rod support device 140 drives the core rod with the hardware sleeved to move to the preset crimping position, and the end of the core rod with the hardware sleeved can abut the reference piece 164 to wait for the subsequent crimping machine 110 to accurately crimp the core rod and the hardware to ensure the crimping quality; when the sleeve position of the hardware on the core rod is inaccurate, the core rod support device 140 drives the core rod with the hardware sleeved to move to the preset crimping position. Position, since the hardware is not properly socketed on the core rod, the end of the hardware away from the core rod will exceed the preset crimping position, thereby generating a certain thrust on the reference part 164, and then pushing the second baffle 169 to compress the spring part 165 to displace, and the detection plate 1662 fixed on the second baffle 169 also displaces accordingly, so that the notch on the detection plate 1662 moves to between the transmitter and the receiver, so that the laser signal emitted by the transmitter can pass through the notch on the detection plate 1662 and be recognized by the receiver and send out a warning signal, and the crimping machine 110 does not perform the crimping operation, avoiding the crimping machine 110 directly performing the crimping operation at this position, which leads to inaccurate crimping position of the hardware on the core rod, resulting in scrap, waste of materials and labor.
