[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toggle switch production equipment technology, and in particular to a cutting and bending module for a toggle switch production line. Background Art

[0002] In the assembly and production process of toggle switches, the leads of the product strip need to be cut and bent to separate the product from the product strip. If the traditional manual separation method is used, tools such as tweezers, clamps, and hammers are needed to assist in the assembly. This is not only laborious and time-consuming, but also greatly affects the production efficiency. In addition, the quality of manually assembled products is not high, which affects the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cutting and bending block presses down, it presses the pin part of the product into the pin groove, causing the part to be torn apart from the terminal. When the rib in the pin groove matches the relief groove at the bottom of the cutting and bending block, the bending process of the pin is realized. The cutting and bending processes are carried out simultaneously, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the transmission track is provided with a plurality of guide posts extending vertically, and the lower pressure seat is provided with a plurality of guide sleeves that cooperate with the guide posts.

[0030] The cutting and bending mechanism 3 includes a stamping bracket 7, a pressing cylinder 8 disposed on the stamping bracket 7, a pressing seat 9 disposed on the extended end of the pressing cylinder 8, and multiple sets of cutting and bending assemblies 10 mounted on the pressing seat 9. The cutting and bending assembly 10 includes a pressing block 11 located in the middle for pressing the product, terminal pressing blocks 12 located on both outer sides for pressing the terminals, and a cutting and bending block 13 disposed between the pressing block 11 and the terminal pressing block 12. The cutting and bending block 13 is fixedly mounted on the pressing seat 9, and the pressing block 11 and the terminal pressing block 12 are mounted on the pressing seat 9 and can move up and down relative to the cutting and bending block 13.

[0031] The product strip is placed on the flow channel 6 of the conveyor track 4. The product strip is driven forward by the feeding assembly 5. When the product strip reaches the cutting and bending mechanism 3 area, the pressing cylinder 8 of the stamping assembly drives the pressing seat 9 downwards. Multiple sets of cutting and bending assemblies 10 descend, where the pressing block 11 presses the product for positioning, the terminal pressing block 12 presses the terminal for positioning, and the cutting and bending block 13 acts on the product pins to bend them and separate them from the terminals, completing the separation of multiple toggle switch products in one operation. This method can replace manual cutting and bending operations on toggle switch product strips, offering advantages such as high production efficiency and high pass rate.

[0032] As attached Figures 3-5As shown, the lower pressure seat 9 includes an upper mounting plate 14 and a lower mounting plate 15 connected together, which can be connected together by screws. The lower mounting plate 15 is provided with a through-hole 16 for the cutting and bending assembly 10 to pass through.

The lower end of the upper mounting plate 14 is provided with a first sliding groove 18 and a second sliding groove 19 for the pressure block 11 and the terminal pressure block 12 to move vertically, and both the first sliding groove 18 and the second sliding groove 19 are provided with An elastic element 35 is provided to provide preload to the pressure block 11 and the terminal pressure block 12. The elastic element 35 can be a spring. The spring acting on the pressure block 11 is a linear spring with low pressure, while the spring acting on the terminal pressure block 12 is a die spring with higher pressure. The pressure block 11 is provided with a second limiting part 20 located in the first slide groove 18 for abutting against the upper end of the lower mounting plate 15 to limit its downward movement. The terminal pressure block 12 is provided with a third limiting part 21 located in the second slide groove 19 for abutting against the upper end of the lower mounting plate 15 to limit its downward movement.

The pin groove 24 contains a trapezoidal rib 25, and the bottom of the cutting and bending block 13 has a relief groove 26 that matches the shape of the rib 25. When the cutting and bending block 13 presses down, it presses the product pin into the pin groove 24, causing the pin to be torn apart from the terminal. When the rib 25 in the pin groove 24 engages with the relief groove 26 at the bottom of the cutting and bending block 13, the pin is bent. The cutting and bending processes are performed simultaneously, greatly improving processing efficiency.

The product strip that is processed by the cutting and bending mechanism 3 finally enters the discharge port 33 and is guided to the corresponding area by the guide plate 34, so as to realize the centralized collection of the product.

[0036] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the feeding assembly 5 includes a feeding motor 29 mounted on the transmission track 4 and multiple ratchet wheels 30 connected to the motor shaft of the feeding motor 29 for engaging with positioning holes on the product conveyor belt. The feeding motor 29 drives the ratchet wheels 30 to rotate, thus propelling the product conveyor belt forward stably with precise stroke control.

[0037] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a cover plate 31 is also installed on the transmission track 4. The cover plate 31 has a through hole 32 for the ratchet 30 to pass through. The ratchet 30 passes through the through hole 32 and engages with the positioning hole on the product strip provided on the flow channel 6. This design can limit the position of the product strip, ensuring that it remains positioned in the flow channel 6 during stable transmission.
