[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a USB female connector transfer device. The USB female connector transfer device includes a worktable 1, on which a Y-axis linear module 2 is mounted. A support plate 20 is mounted on the moving end of the Y-axis linear module 2, and the support plate 20 is used to place a material tray 21. An X-axis linear module 3 is mounted above the worktable 1. A Z-axis linear module 4 is mounted on the moving end of the X-axis linear module 3. A pneumatic clamp 40 for gripping the USB female connector is mounted on the moving end of the Z-axis linear module 4. A rotating mechanism 5 is mounted below the Z-axis linear module 4 and includes a drive assembly 50 and a mechanism for driving the assembly. The output end of component 50 is rotatably inserted into a support base 51, and the output end of the drive component 50 is connected to a rotating fixture 52. The rotating fixture 52 has a cross-shaped structure, and each of the four ends of the rotating fixture 52 is provided with a positioning cavity 520 for positioning the USB female head. A transfer fixture 53 is mounted on the support base 51, and a pusher component 54 is provided on the side of the rotating fixture 52 away from the drive component 50 for pushing the USB female head in the positioning cavity 520 to the transfer fixture 53. The positioning cavity 520 on one of the transverse ends of the rotating fixture 52 is conductively connected to the transport line for producing USB female heads.

[0036] This utility model provides a USB female connector transfer device that transports USB female connectors to a positioning cavity 520 via a USB female connector transport line. The rotation of a first drive motor 501 drives a rotating fixture 52 to rotate 90 or 180 degrees, causing the positioning cavity 520 carrying the USB female connector to align with the conveying groove 530 on a transfer fixture 53 located at the top or side of a support base 51. A pusher cylinder 540 pushes a pusher rod 541 towards the transfer fixture 53, pushing the USB female connector from the positioning cavity 520 into the conveying groove 530. Finally, a cylinder clamp, in cooperation with the Z-axis linear module 4 and the X-axis linear module 3, transfers the USB female connector from the transport line to a tray 21 on the Y-axis linear module 2 for collection. Therefore, this USB female connector transfer device can achieve 90-degree or 180-degree tray collection of USB female connectors. Furthermore, the device has a simple structure and effectively solves the problems of high manufacturing cost and inability to perform targeted angle tray collection in existing USB female connector collection devices.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the Y-axis linear module 2 and the X-axis linear module 3 are linear modules driven by servo motors. The Y-axis linear module 2 is installed on one side of the worktable 1 along the Y-axis direction, and a support plate 20 capable of simultaneously placing multiple trays 21 is installed on its moving end. The X-axis linear module 3 is mounted above the worktable 1 along the X-axis direction, with its end aligned with the upper outer edge of the tray 21. The Z-axis linear module 4 is installed on the moving end of the X-axis linear module 3. When the cylinder clamp clamps the USB female connector on the transfer fixture 53, it moves upward through the Z-axis linear module 4, then moves to the top of the tray 21 through the X-axis linear module 3, and finally, the Z-axis linear module 4 moves downward, and the cylinder clamps... The USB female connector is loosened and placed into the material tray 21. The Y-axis linear module 2 drives the material tray 21 to move back and forth, so that each station in the material tray 21 can be placed with a USB female connector. By setting a transfer fixture 53 on the top of the support base 51, when the rotating fixture 52 rotates 90 degrees, the positioning cavity 520 can be aligned with the transfer fixture 53 on the top of the support base 51, so as to realize the 90-degree rotation positioning of the USB female connector and place the positioned USB female connector into the material tray 21 for collection. Of course, the USB female connector can also be placed at different angles by setting different positions of the transfer fixture 53 and the rotating fixture 52 or rotating at different angles.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the Z-axis linear module 4 includes a base 41, a second drive motor 42, and a slide rail 43. The second drive motor 42 is mounted on the top of the base 41, and its output end is connected to a lead screw 420. A threaded bearing 421 is threaded onto the lead screw 420. The slide rail 43 and the lead screw 420 are arranged parallel to each other on the base 41, and a drive plate 44 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 43. A connecting block 45 is installed between the threaded bearing 421 and the drive plate 44. When the second drive motor 42 drives the lead screw 420 to rotate, it drives the threaded bearing 421 to move up and down, thereby driving the drive plate 44 to move up and down. The pneumatic clamp 40 is mounted on the bottom end of the drive plate 44, and at the same time drives the cylinder clamp to move up and down. The second drive motor 42 is a servo motor, which can move the cylinder clamp up and down in the Z-axis direction more linearly and accurately, so that the cylinder clamp can clamp and unload materials more accurately and stably.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the transfer fixture 53, mounted on the top of the support base 51, includes a fixture base 41 and a conveying groove 530 formed along the X-axis on the fixture base 41. A stopper 531 is installed at the end of the fixture base 41 away from the rotating fixture 52. The conveying groove 530 is used to transfer the USB female connector conveyed by the positioning cavity 520. The stopper 531 is located in the conveying groove 530 at the end away from the rotating fixture 52 to limit the conveyed USB female connector and prevent the pusher cylinder 540 from pushing the USB female connector out of the conveying groove 530. The drive assembly 50 includes a first drive motor 501, a coupling 502, and a transmission shaft 503. The coupling 502 connects the first drive motor 501 and the transmission shaft 503. A limit sensor 504 is installed on the support base 51, and a limit sensor plate 505 matching the limit sensor 504 is installed on the transmission shaft 503. The rotation of the first drive motor 501 drives the transmission shaft 503 to rotate, and at the same time drives the rotating fixture 52 installed on the other end of the transmission shaft 503 to rotate. With the cooperation of the limit sensor 504 and the limit sensor plate 505, the first drive motor 501 can drive the rotating fixture 52 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the positioning cavity 520 and the conveying groove 530 can be precisely aligned.

[0041] Specifically, the pushing assembly 54 is mounted on the worktable 1 near the rotating fixture 52, and includes a pushing cylinder 540 and a pushing rod 541 connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder 540. The pushing rod 541 and the conveying groove 530 on the transfer fixture 53 are arranged opposite to each other. When the rotating fixture 52 rotates the positioning cavity 520 carrying the USB female head to align with the conveying groove 530, the pushing cylinder 540 pushes the pushing rod 541 to move towards the transfer fixture 53, which can accurately push the USB female head into the conveying groove 530.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that: the transfer fixture 53 is installed on the side of the support base 51 away from the Z-axis module, and a slide groove 532 is provided along the Y-axis direction of the base 41. The slide groove 532 and the conveying groove 530 are connected at a right angle. The side of the transfer fixture 53 away from the support base 51 is provided with an arrangement assembly 6, including an arrangement guide rail 60 and a drive cylinder 61 connected to one end of the arrangement guide rail 60. The arrangement guide rail 60 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 532, and the arrangement guide rail 60 is provided with at least two positioning grooves 62 for positioning the USB female connector. In this embodiment, when the rotating fixture 52 rotates 180 degrees... The positioning cavity 520 can be aligned with the transfer fixture 53 on the side of the support base 51, so as to achieve 180-degree rotation positioning of the USB female head and place the positioned USB female head into the material tray 21 for collection. Whenever the pushing cylinder 540 pushes a USB female head to the positioning slot 62, the driving cylinder 61 drives the arrangement guide rail 60 to move, aligning the other positioning slots 62 with the conveying slot 530, so as to repeatedly fill all the positioning slots 62 with USB female heads. In this embodiment, at least two parallel cylinder clamps are installed on the drive plate 44, so that the device can clamp multiple USB female heads at one time, improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the device.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
