[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a copper strip positioning punching mechanism for a power socket, including a punching assembly 1. The punching assembly 1 is controlled by a microcomputer, and a feeding assembly 2 is installed on one side of the punching assembly 1. A sensing assembly 3 is provided on one side of the punching assembly 1. The punching assembly 1 includes a workbench 11, and a protective cover 12 is installed on the upper surface of the workbench 11 to prevent the debris generated during the punching operation from splashing. This not only makes it inconvenient for subsequent cleaning operations, but the splashing debris may also injure the material handlers. Furthermore, doors are installed on both the front and back sides of the protective cover 12. A control assembly 13 is installed on one side of the protective cover 12. The control assembly 13 is electrically connected to an alarm light 121, a punching machine 15, a cutting machine 17, a servo positioning machine 18, a gripper 19, a motor 24, and a sensing roller 33, thereby enabling the entire device to perform the punching operation normally.

[0030] A feeder 14 is installed on the upper surface of the workbench 11. There are two sets of feeders 14. One set of feeders 14 has a cutter 17 installed on one side. The cutter 17 is pneumatically operated to cut the copper strip 231. The other set of feeders 14 has a punching machine 15 installed above it. The size of the punching hole is determined according to the diameter of the rivet. After completing multiple punching operations on the copper strip 231, it automatically cuts the material according to the length of the power strip. A collection frame is also installed below the punching machine 15 to collect the copper pieces generated during punching. The punching machine 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 11. The output end of the punching machine 15 is fixedly connected to a mold 16 to control the size of the punching hole in the copper strip 231. A servo positioning machine 18 is installed next to the cutter 17 to detect the length of the copper strip 231 movement and whether it is in the set position, so as to facilitate subsequent processing operations. A gripper 19 is installed on one side of the servo positioning machine 18 and is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 11.

[0031] The feeding assembly 2 includes a placement frame 21, which is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 11. An installation frame 22 is installed on the upper surface of the placement frame 21. A reel 23 is provided at the upper end of the installation frame 22. A copper strip 231 wound into a disc shape is placed on the reel. A motor 24 is installed at the lower end of the reel 23, which facilitates the operator to wind and install the copper strip 231 to be processed onto the reel 23. One end of the copper strip 231 is fed into the feed port of the sensing component and is facilitated by the motor 24 for subsequent conveying operations.

[0032] The sensing component 3 includes a sensing frame 31, which is installed on one side of the workbench 11. A sensing rod 32 is rotatably mounted on one side of the sensing frame 31. A sensing roller 33 is installed at one end of the sensing rod 32. While pressing down on the copper strip 231 to give it tension, the signal collected by the sensing roller 33 is transmitted to the control assembly 13. The control assembly 13 then transmits the signal to the feeder 14 and the motor 24, thereby controlling the conveying speed of the copper strip 231.

[0033] The workbench 11 is provided with heat dissipation holes 111 to facilitate air circulation inside the workbench 11, allowing the electrical components installed inside the workbench 11 to operate normally. An alarm light 121 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover 12, and the control assembly 13 is electrically connected to the alarm light 121. The feeder 14 includes a feed rack 141, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 11. A cylinder 142 is installed at the upper end of the workbench 11, driving roller A143 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between roller A143 and roller B144, thus achieving the straightening operation of copper strips 231 of different specifications. The cylinder 142 is provided with two... The two sets of feeding frames are symmetrically arranged. A roller A143 is installed on one side of the cylinder body of the cylinder 142, and a roller B144 is installed below the roller A143. The roller B144 is installed inside the feeding frame 141. A guide roller 145 is installed on one side of the feeding frame 141 to guide the copper strip 231 while straightening it. A material channel 146 is provided between the two sets of feeding frames 141 to provide support for the copper strip 231, thereby preventing the copper strip 231 from deforming during the conveying process. A limit roller 311 is fixedly connected to one side of the sensing frame 31. Two sets of limit rollers 311 are provided. The sensing rod 32 is located between the two sets of limit rollers 311 to limit the movement range of the sensing rod 32.

[0034] Working principle: First, the copper strip 231 to be processed is installed on the reel 23. Then, the copper strip 231 is manually pulled out from the reel 23 and placed below the induction roller 33. Finally, the copper strip 231 is placed on the feeder 14, so that the movement speed of the copper strip 231 can be easily obtained through the induction roller 33. This allows the control assembly 13 to send signals to the feeder 14 and the motor 24, thereby informing the feeder 14 and the motor 24 of the conveying speed of the copper strip 231. The cylinder 142 then raises the roller A143, causing rollers A143 and B144 to clamp the copper strip 231, preventing it from slipping. Deformation will occur, and roller A143 is an electric roller. Then, the copper strip 231 is conveyed to the bottom of the punching machine 15 and punched with the mold 16. Then, the cutting machine 17 cuts the copper strip 231 according to the set value. Then, the servo positioning machine 18 detects the position of the copper strip 231 in real time and transmits the signal to the control assembly 13. The control assembly 13 transmits the signal to the gripper 19. While the servo gripper 192 inserts the rivet into the punched hole, it applies a downward force to the rivet to cause a slight deformation, thereby ensuring that the rivet will not fall off the copper strip 231.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
