[0039] This utility model provides a three-in-one device for conveying, cutting, and inserting USB pin headers 10. The pin header 10 is placed in the guide groove 213. The pressing cylinder 322 drives the displacement block 30 to move downward. The limiting rod 301 is inserted into the material strip limiting hole of the pin header 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the transfer mechanism includes a displacement cylinder 31, a first sliding assembly 32, and a support frame 33. The displacement cylinder 31 is fixed to the worktable 1 via a mounting base. The first sliding assembly 32 includes a first slide rail 320 mounted on the side of the guide base 20 and a first slider 321 slidably mounted on the first slide rail 320. One end of the first slider 321 is connected to the displacement cylinder 31. The support frame 33 is mounted on the top of the first slider 321, and a longitudinal groove is provided on the side of the support frame 33 near the displacement block 30. The displacement block 30 is slidably disposed in the groove. A pressing cylinder 322 is mounted on the top of the support frame 33, and a drive connecting block 323 connects the pressing cylinder 322 and the displacement block 30. In this structure, the first slider 321 is driven to move on the first slide rail 320 by the telescopic movement of the displacement cylinder 31, thereby driving the displacement block 30 to reciprocate along the axis of the guide fixture 2; thus, when the pressing cylinder 322 performs telescopic movement, it drives the displacement block 30 to move up and down; the bottom of the displacement block 30 is provided with at least two limiting rods 301, and in this embodiment, it is preferable to provide two limiting rods 301; in the above structure, the displacement block 30 is driven to move downward by the pressing cylinder 322, at this time, the limiting rods 301 move downward and are inserted into the material strip insertion hole of the needle row 10 to limit the needle row 10, and the movement and conveying of the needle row 10 is realized by the displacement cylinder 31 driving the displacement block 30 to move in the direction of the cutting mechanism 4.

The Y-shaped support rod 431 and the U-shaped connecting block 433 are rotatably connected by a pivot pin. A drive plate 441 is installed at the top of the guide plate 440, and the positioning block 40 and the cutter 41 are respectively connected to the bottom of the drive plate 441. That is to say, the first lifting cylinder 42 drives the first linkage component 43 through the lever principle to drive the positioning block 40 and the cutter 41 to move up and down at the same time to press down, position and cut the needle row 10. An adjusting screw 442 is also threaded on the drive plate 441, and a positioning nut 443 is threaded on the adjusting screw 442. The cutter 41 is connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 442. By rotating the adjusting screw 442, the up and down position of the cutter 41 can be adjusted to meet the spacing of the needle row 10 in the subsequent cutting operation and ensure that the needle row 10 can be effectively cut.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first clearance position 210 is a long strip-shaped through hole, and the displacement block 30 can move left and right in the through hole to realize the conveying displacement of the needle row 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the pin insertion mechanism 5 includes a second sliding assembly 51 mounted on the worktable 1 and a pin insertion cylinder 52 connected to the second sliding assembly 51; a second linkage assembly 53 and a second lifting cylinder 54 are mounted on the second sliding assembly 51. The second sliding assembly 51 includes a second slide rail 510 mounted on the worktable 1 and a second slider 511 mounted on the second slide rail 510, one end of which is connected to the output end of the pin insertion cylinder 52; the second linkage assembly 53 includes a second "Y"-shaped support rod 530 vertically fixed to the second slider 511 and a hollow block 531 mounted on the second "Y"-shaped support rod 530; the hollow block 531 is movably sleeved on the second "Y"-shaped support rod 530; a second connecting rod 532 is connected to the top end of the second "Y"-shaped support rod 530, one end of which is connected to the hollow block 531, and the other end is connected to the output end of the second lifting cylinder 54. The hollow block 531 is driven to move up and down on the second "Y"-shaped support rod 530 by the extension and retraction of the second lifting cylinder 54.

[0044] Specifically, the fixture 50 includes a lower clamping block 502 connected to the second slider 511 and an upper clamping block 501 connected to the hollow block 531. When the pins 10 are conveyed to the lower part of the cutting mechanism 4 under the drive of the transfer mechanism 3, the initial end of the pins 10 extends outward toward one end of the guide fixture 2. At this time, the second lifting cylinder 54 drives the upper clamping block 501 to close toward the lower clamping block 502 and clamps the extended pins 10. After the cutting mechanism 4 cuts the pins 10, the pin insertion cylinder 52 drives the fixture 50 holding the pins 10 to move forward and insert the pins 10 into the core, completing the pin insertion process of the core. This structure is simple and has high pin insertion efficiency. In actual production applications, it reduces the manufacturing cost of USB production equipment while improving the pin insertion efficiency of the core.
