Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated manufacturing technology, specifically to an automatic crimping module. Background Technology
[0002] Automated crimping modules are an important component of modern manufacturing processes, playing a crucial role, especially in automated production lines. These modules typically include core components such as a crimping head module and a crimping mechanism, enabling precise crimping of materials to ensure product quality and stability. For example, some crimping die assemblies also include multiple parts such as connecting blocks, control blocks, rotating wheels, crimping cores, and fixed wheels. Through complex mechanical structures, they achieve precise crimping actions, as seen in the manufacturing, use, and connection of electronic components, where pins on electronic devices are crimped onto terminals.
[0003] To ensure accurate alignment of smaller diameter pins with terminals, existing automatic crimping modules typically incorporate optical components such as cameras to replace human visual inspection. This not only reduces the workload of personnel but also improves accuracy. However, industrial cameras often have low resolution, which can lead to misjudgments due to blurry images. Rotating a high-resolution camera requires manual readjustment, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects processing efficiency, while also increasing production costs.
[0004] To address these issues, we designed an automatic crimping module. Utility Model Content

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic crimping module, including a large base plate 1, a frame 2, an X-axis assembly 3, a Y-axis assembly 4 and a Z-axis assembly 5 are sequentially arranged on the top of the large base plate 1, the Z-axis assembly 5 is connected to both the Y-axis assembly 4 and the frame 2, the Y-axis assembly 4 is connected to the X-axis assembly 3, a rotating platform 6 is rotatably arranged on the frame 2, a rotary motor 7 is fixedly installed on the frame 2, the drive shaft of the rotary motor 7 is connected to one side of the rotating platform 6, a crimping head 10 is arranged at the other end of the rotating platform 6, a camera 20 is arranged on one side of the frame 2, a lens 21 is arranged on one side of the camera 20, a prism 22 is arranged on one side of the lens 21, a ring light source 23 is arranged on the frame 2, the ring light source 23 is located directly below the prism 22, a controller is arranged on the rotating platform 6, and the camera 20 is electrically connected to the controller;
[0019] X-axis assembly 3 includes an X-axis motor 11, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 1. The drive shaft of the X-axis motor 11 is fixedly connected to an X-axis lead screw 12. An X-axis linear guide 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 1. A Y-axis base 14 is slidably sleeved on the X-axis linear guide 13. The end of the X-axis lead screw 12 away from the X-axis motor 11 is threaded into the Y-axis base 14. Y-axis assembly 4 includes a Y-axis motor 15, which is mounted on one side of the Y-axis base 14. A Y-axis lead screw 16 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the Y-axis motor 15. A Y-axis linear guide 17 is fixedly mounted on the top of the Y-axis base 14. A Z-axis base 18 is slidably sleeved on the Y-axis linear guide 17. The end of the Y-axis lead screw 16 away from the Y-axis motor 15 is threaded into the Z-axis base 18.
[0020] In practice, the X-axis motor 11 is turned on, causing the X-axis lead screw 12 to rotate. This causes the Y-axis base 14 to drive the Y-axis motor 15, the crimping connector 10, and the camera 20 to slide on the X-axis track 13. Simultaneously, the Y-axis motor 15 is turned on, causing the Y-axis lead screw 16 to rotate. This causes the Z-axis base 18 to drive the camera 20 to slide on the Y-axis track 17. During this process, the camera 20, in conjunction with the lens 21 and prism 22, performs image detection on the parts of the product 9 below that need to be crimped. It should be noted that the prism 22 and the ring light source 23 are set up to separate the light through refraction and reflection, thereby improving the image quality, expanding the observation range, and increasing the clarity, thus improving the detection effect.
[0021] See Figure 1-3 A placement platform 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base plate 1. The product 9 is placed on the top of the placement platform 8. The product 9 is located below the crimp connector 10. The Z-axis assembly 5 includes a Z-axis motor 19. The Z-axis motor 19 is fixedly installed on the Z-axis base 18. A Z-axis lead screw is fixedly installed on the drive end of the Z-axis motor 19. The other end of the Z-axis lead screw is threaded into the Z-axis base 18. The Z-axis motor 19 is fixedly connected to the frame 2.
[0022] In practice, based on the above implementation, when the camera 20 detects the optimal pressing position, the controller can be used to activate the Z-axis assembly 5, causing the Z-axis lead screw to rotate. This causes the Z-axis base 18 to drive the pressing head 10 downward and perform pressing processing on the product 9, achieving a precise yet fully automatic pressing effect.
[0023] See Figure 1-3 An electrical box is installed on the base plate 1, and the electrical box is electrically connected to the rotary motor 7, X-axis motor 11, Y-axis motor 15, Z-axis motor 19, and camera 20. First, all electrical components involved in this automatic crimping module are connected to an external power source. Specifically, the electrical box is connected to the electrical components of the automatic crimping module using wiring, which provides power to the electrical components and ensures their normal operation. Since the electrical box is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this manual.
[0024] Working principle: In use, product 9 is placed on top of the placement platform 8, and then the X-axis motor 11 is turned on, causing the X-axis lead screw 12 to rotate. This causes the Y-axis base 14 to drive the Y-axis motor 15, the crimping connector 10, and the camera 20 to slide on the X-axis rail 13. At the same time, the Y-axis motor 15 is turned on, causing the Y-axis lead screw 16 to rotate. This causes the Z-axis base 18 to drive the camera 20 to slide on the Y-axis rail 17. During this process, the camera 20, in conjunction with the lens 21 and prism 22, performs image detection on the parts of product 9 that need to be crimped. It should be noted that the prism 22 and the ring light source 23 are set up to separate the light through refraction and reflection, thereby improving the image quality, expanding the observation range, and improving the clarity, thus improving the detection effect. Finally, the controller turns on the Z-axis assembly 5, causing the Z-axis lead screw to rotate. This causes the Z-axis base 18 to drive the crimping connector 10 downward to crimp the product 9, achieving a precise yet fully automatic crimping effect.
