Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the terminal installation field especially relates to a terminal arrangement feeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The terminal is the connecting piece at the end of wire, so it is necessary to connect and assemble the terminal and wire.

[0003] At present, the Chinese utility model patent application with the application number 202421042384.9 discloses a wire harness terminal crimping device, which comprises a terminal support body for bearing terminals, a guide located above the terminal support body and provided with a guide channel for the power line to enter in the axial direction parallel to the wiring slot of the terminal, and a compression assembly providing compression force to the electric wire in the guide channel to make the electric wire clamped into the wiring slot of the terminal.

[0004] The existing patent discloses a wire harness terminal crimping device, which discloses a way of assembling the wire and the terminal by crimping. Currently, the terminals are usually conveyed to the lower side of the guide along the conveying track in the assembly line, and the operator discharges the terminals after the assembly of the terminal and the wire is completed. The disadvantage of this conveying method is that the defective products are usually removed when the terminals are conveyed on the assembly line, which causes unstable interval of the terminals conveyed to the crimping station. In order to improve the efficiency, the operator usually holds multiple electric wires at the same time, and the terminals are uniformly put into the storage box after the assembly. The unstable interval of the terminals affects the smoothness of the operation of the operator and reduces the work efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a terminal arrangement feeding device, which has the advantage of improving the operation efficiency of the operator.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a terminal arrangement feeding device, which comprises:

[0007] Parallelly arranged feeding track and discharging track;

[0008] A storage table is arranged between the feeding track and the discharging track, and the storage table is provided with a storage area for arranging terminals. The feeding track is provided with a feeding area connected with the storage area, and the feeding track is provided with a baffle for limiting the terminals in the feeding area. The number of terminals contained in the feeding area is the same as the number of terminals contained in one row of the storage area.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the terminals are conveyed along the feeding track, and after entering the feeding area, the terminals continue to move and are stopped in the feeding area by the baffle after being limited by the baffle. After the detection system detects that the feeding area is full of terminals, the feeding assembly pushes the terminals into the storage area, and the output assembly pushes the terminals into the output track in groups of terminals per row. The terminals conveyed on the output track are in the form of multiple terminals adhering to each other, which can facilitate the operator to assemble the terminals in groups, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of each group of terminals. In addition, the interval between each group of terminals reaching the crimping station can be used for the operator to put the assembled terminals into the storage box and take a new group of terminals, thereby improving the utilization of time and further improving the assembly efficiency.

Before the feeding area is full, each terminal only passes through the detection path of the photoelectric sensor for a limited time, and will not reach the trigger time. After the feeding area is full, one terminal will always stay in the detection path of the photoelectric sensor, thereby reaching the trigger time, and the terminal is determined to be full.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the sliding driving member drives the poking plate to move, the poking plate pushes a group of terminals to move each time when moving on the first horizontal section, thereby sequentially pushing each group of terminals into the discharging track, and the poking plate moves back to the initial position after retreating to the second horizontal section and then pushes the subsequent terminals to move again.
