[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a connector housing conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveyor belt 1; a bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor belt 1; a drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 1; the drive motor 11 drives the conveyor belt 1 to rotate; a positioning component is provided on the side wall of the conveyor belt 1; a synchronization component is provided on the conveyor belt 1 through the positioning component; a feeding component is connected to the conveyor belt 1 through the positioning component; a guiding component is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 1; and a cleaning component is provided on the side wall of the conveyor belt 1. During operation, the connector housing to be conveyed is placed on top of the conveyor belt 1 through the guiding component for conveying. When the connector housing is conveyed on top of the conveyor belt 1... The positioning component positions the connector housing at a designated position on the top of the conveyor belt 1, the material feeding component separates the stacked connector housings, and the position of the positioning component is adjusted by the synchronization component. This step, through the arrangement of the conveyor belt 1, drive motor 11, bracket 12, positioning component, synchronization component, material feeding component and material guiding component, forms a connector housing conveying structure, which realizes the function of positioning and conveying the produced connector housings. It solves the problem of inaccurate positioning in subsequent assembly operations caused by the positional deviation of the connector housings when conveying on the conveyor belt 1, improves the consistency of the position of the connector housings during conveying, and increases the production speed of connector housings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the positioning assembly includes a first fixed plate 2, a rotating shaft 21, and a guide plate 22. The first fixed plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 1. A pair of first fixed plates 2 are provided on the side wall of the conveyor belt 1 and are arranged symmetrically. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first fixed plate 2. The guide plate 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 21. The pair of rotating shafts 21 are rotatably connected by a synchronization assembly. During operation, the rotating shaft 21 is driven to rotate by the synchronization assembly, and the angle of the pair of guide plates 22 is adjusted at the same time to adjust the spacing and position between the pair of guide plates 22. When the connector housing is conveyed at the top of the conveyor belt 1, the guide plate 22 contacts the connector housing and moves the connector housing, so that the connector housing moves to the same position at the top of the conveyor belt 1. This step, through the arrangement of the first fixed plate 2, the rotating shaft 21, and the guide plate 22, forms a connector housing positioning structure, realizing the function of positioning the connector housing when it is conveyed at the top of the conveyor belt 1. This solves the problem of inaccurate positioning in subsequent connector assembly operations due to inconsistent positions of the connector housing during conveying, and improves the speed of connector production.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the synchronization assembly includes a second fixed plate 3, a servo motor 31, a first gear 32, and a second gear 33. The second fixed plate 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bracket 12. The first gear 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 21 away from the first fixed plate 2. The first gear 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the second fixed plate 3. The servo motor 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixed plate 3. The bottom end of a set of rotating shafts 21 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the servo motor 31. The second gear 33 is rotatably connected to the top of the second fixed plate 3. The first gear 32 and the second gear 33 mesh together. During operation, when it is necessary to adjust the position or angle of the guide plate 22, the servo motor 32 is activated. The servo motor 31 drives the first gear 32 to rotate. The first gear 32 meshes with the second gear 33, which in turn drives another set of first gears 32 to rotate. Simultaneously, it drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 21 adjusts the angle of the guide plate 22. This step, through the arrangement of the second fixed plate 3, the servo motor 31, the first gear 32, and the second gear 33, forms a rotation synchronization structure, realizing the function of synchronously rotating a pair of guide plates 22. This solves the problem of cumbersome adjustment steps for the guide plates 22, improves the convenience of adjusting the position of the guide plates 22, and increases the adaptability of the device to connector housings of different sizes.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the material-picking assembly includes a sliding block 4 and a blocking rope 41. The sliding block 4 is slidably connected to the end of the guide plate 22 away from the rotating shaft 21. The sliding block 4 is provided at the ends of both guide plates 22. The blocking rope 41 is fixedly connected to the side walls of the pair of sliding blocks 4 that are close to each other. The blocking rope 41 is made of elastic material. During operation, the sliding block 4 is slid to adjust the position of the sliding block 4 and the blocking rope 41 at the ends of the guide plate 22. When the guide plate 22 rotates, the blocking rope 41 is stretched or extended. When the connector housings stacked on the top of the conveyor belt 1 are conveyed on the top of the conveyor belt 1, the blocking rope 41 will push down the connector housings on the upper layer. This step, through the setting of the sliding block 4 and the blocking rope 41, forms a connector housing material-picking structure, realizing the function of separating the stacked connectors, solving the problem of connector housings stacking during conveying, and reducing the stacking of connector housings during conveying.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the material guiding assembly includes a fixing block 5 and a feeding hopper 51. The fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1 away from the first fixing plate 2. A pair of fixing blocks 5 are provided on the top of the conveyor belt 1 and are arranged symmetrically. The feeding hopper 51 is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the pair of fixing blocks 5. During operation, the feeding hopper 51 is slid to adjust the distance between the feeding hopper 51 and the conveyor belt 1. The connector housing falls onto the top of the conveyor belt 1 through the feeding hopper 51, and the fixing block 5 plays a fixing role. This step, through the setting of the fixing block 5 and the feeding hopper 51, forms a connector housing guiding structure, reducing the possibility of the connector housing falling when it falls onto the top of the conveyor belt 1 and improving the convenience of feeding the connector housing.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a fixed frame 6 and a brush 61. The fixed frame 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 1 near the drive motor 11. The brush 61 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame 6. Multiple sets of brushes 61 are arranged on the inner side wall of the fixed frame 6 and are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the fixed frame 6. During operation, when the conveyor belt 1 rotates, the brushes 61 come into contact with the conveyor belt 1 and clean the conveyor belt 1. This step, through the arrangement of the fixed frame 6 and the brushes 61, forms a cleaning structure, realizes the function of cleaning the conveyor belt 1, and improves the cleanliness of the surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the bracket 12 is threadedly connected to an adjusting foot plate 7; multiple sets of adjusting foot plates 7 are set at the bottom of the bracket 12 and are evenly distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the bracket 12; during operation, the adjusting foot plate 7 is turned to adjust the length of the adjusting foot plate 7, thereby adjusting the height of the bracket 12, so that the bracket 12 is in a stable state when placed, reducing the shaking of the bracket 12 and improving the stability of the device during operation.

[0031] During operation, the connector housings to be conveyed are placed on top of conveyor belt 1 by the guiding assembly. While the connector housings are being conveyed on top of conveyor belt 1, the positioning assembly positions them at a designated location. The material-shifting assembly separates the stacked connector housings. The position of the positioning assembly is adjusted by the synchronization assembly. The synchronization assembly drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, simultaneously adjusting the angle of a pair of guide plates 22 and the spacing and position between them. When the connector housings are being conveyed on top of conveyor belt 1, the guide plates 22 contact the connector housings and shift them, moving them to the same position on top of conveyor belt 1. When the position or angle of the guide plates 22 needs adjustment, the servo motor 31 is activated. The servo motor 31 drives the first gear 32 to rotate, and the second gear 33 drives another set of first gears 32 to rotate, simultaneously driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. The shaft 21 rotates, adjusting the angle of the guide plate 22; the sliding block 4 is slidable, adjusting the position of the sliding block 4 and the blocking rope 41 at the end of the guide plate 22. When the guide plate 22 rotates, the blocking rope 41 is stretched or extended. When the connector housings stacked on top of the conveyor belt 1 are conveyed on top of the conveyor belt 1, the blocking rope 41 pushes the connector housings on the upper layer off; the sliding feed hopper 51 is slidable, adjusting the distance between the feed hopper 51 and the conveyor belt 1. The connector housings fall onto the top of the conveyor belt 1 through the feed hopper 51, and the fixing block 5 plays a fixing role; when the conveyor belt 1 rotates, the brush 61 contacts the conveyor belt 1, and the brush 61 cleans the conveyor belt 1; the adjusting foot plate 7 is turned, adjusting the length of the adjusting foot plate 7, thereby adjusting the height of the bracket 12, so that the bracket 12 is placed in a stable state, reducing the shaking of the bracket 12 and improving the stability of the device during operation.
