Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to an automatic insertion mechanism for service product connectors. Background Technology

[0002] With the application and popularization of high-definition technology, the security storage industry will continue to develop towards large capacity, multiple storage modes, systematization, and strong manageability. The specific product needs of different industry sectors and different market levels will also lead to the continuous development of the storage industry towards product diversification in the future. More and more distinctive security storage products will be used in practical applications in various monitoring scenarios.

[0003] When using server-side plug-in crossover connectors, manual insertion is required. However, manual insertion cannot achieve parallel insertion; the connection must be twisted to insert it. This means that manual insertion may not be in place, and the solder paste may be poorly printed during insertion. Stress damage to the device pins during material handling can lead to solder bridging, open solder joints, and misalignment.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, this technical solution designs an automatic insertion mechanism for service product connectors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic insertion mechanism for service product connectors to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic insertion mechanism for service product connectors, including a mounting frame and a tooling table; the tooling table is movably mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and an installation port is provided on the tooling table. A PCB board to be installed with the crossover connector is pre-mounted on the tooling table. A set of blocking cylinders is installed on one side of the output end of the top of the mounting frame, and a blocking plate is installed on the top of the blocking cylinders. Activating the blocking cylinders causes the blocking plate to rise, thereby blocking the movement of the tooling table and positioning it to ensure the static installation of the crossover connector and the PCB board. Simultaneously, an insertion positioning mechanism is provided inside the top of the mounting frame on the lower side of the tooling table. After the crossover connector is manually installed onto the PCB board, the insertion positioning mechanism is activated to move it to the top of the crossover connector. Then, pressure is applied to press it into place with the PCB board. After pressing, the insertion positioning mechanism automatically resets. At the same time, a set of sensors is set on one side of the tooling table input end. The sensors are used to detect when the product is fed in and automatically determine whether the insertion positioning mechanism has returned to its original position to prevent damage to the PCB board. In other words, through the movement of the tooling table on the mounting frame, the automatic addition and fixing of the insertion positioning mechanism, and the blocking limit of the blocking cylinder, the fast, efficient and accurate insertion of the crossover connector and the PCB board is ensured.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, the track type can adjust the width according to product requirements, and it can be placed with anti-deformation tooling;

[0008] The track design enables rapid cross-horse connection insertion, improving production efficiency and yield;

[0009] The positioning is simple and easy to operate, the cylinder automatically applies pressure and pushes, and it is not affected by human factors, thus avoiding the problem of uneven force causing solder bridging. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-6An automatic insertion mechanism for service product connectors includes a mounting frame 10 and a fixture table 11. The fixture table 11 is movably mounted on the top of the mounting frame 10. The fixture table 11 has an installation port. A PCB board to be installed with a crossover connector is pre-mounted on the fixture table 11. A set of blocking cylinders 17 is installed on one side of the top output end of the mounting frame 10. A blocking plate 18 is installed on the top of the blocking cylinders 17. Activating the blocking cylinders 17 causes the blocking plate 18 to rise, thereby blocking the movement of the fixture table 11 and positioning it to ensure the static installation of the crossover connector and the PCB board. At the same time, an insertion positioning mechanism is provided inside the top of the mounting frame 10 on the lower side of the fixture table 11. After the crossover connector is manually installed onto the PCB board, the insertion positioning mechanism is activated to move it to the top of the crossover connector and then pressure is applied to press it into place with the PCB board. After pressing, the insertion positioning mechanism automatically resets. At the same time, a set of sensors 30 is set on one side of the input end of the tooling table 11. The sensors 30 are used to detect when the product is fed in and automatically determine whether the insertion positioning mechanism has returned to its original position to prevent damage to the PCB board. That is, through the movement of the tooling table 11 on the mounting frame 10, the automatic addition and fixing of the insertion positioning mechanism, and the blocking limit of the blocking cylinder 17, the fast, efficient and accurate insertion of the crossover connector and the PCB board is ensured.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, four sets of brackets are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting frame 10 to support the mounting frame 10 to be placed stably. At the same time, a buffer pad is provided on the side of the baffle plate 18 that contacts the tooling table 11 to reduce wear between them.

[0023] The tooling table 11 has sliders 13 installed on both sides, and slide rails 12 are installed on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 10 corresponding to the sliders 13. The tooling table 11 slides along the slide rails 12 to maintain the stable forward movement of the tooling table 11. Furthermore, the movement of the tooling table 11 can be achieved by using a corresponding mechanical drive system, such as conventional components like cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or electric telescopic rods. The specific selection will not be elaborated here.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, for sensor 30, a distance sensor can be selected. When it is running, it measures the running height of the cylinder in the insertion positioning mechanism in real time to ensure that it will not obstruct the tooling table 11 and the PCB board on the tooling table 11 during feeding. The specific working principle of the distance sensor will not be described here.

[0025] The insertion positioning mechanism includes a support plate I20 perpendicular to the moving direction of the tooling table 11 and fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 10. A set of lead screws I21 is rotatably mounted on the support plate I20. The two ends of the lead screws I21 are supported and positioned by support sleeves 28. One end of the lead screw I21 is connected to a rocker arm 19. Rotating the rocker arm 19 drives the lead screw I21 to rotate. A nut I is threadedly connected to the lead screw I21. The nut I is equipped with a guide device to limit its rotation. Rotating the lead screw I21 drives the nut I to reciprocate along it. A support plate II23 perpendicular to the support plate I20 is mounted on the top of the nut I. A set of lead screws II25 is rotatably mounted on the top of the support plate II23. The two ends of the lead screws II25 are also supported by support sleeves 28. Supported on the support plate II23, a set of nuts II24 are threadedly connected to the lead screw II25. Nuts II24 are equipped with guide devices to limit their rotation. A set of reinforcing cylinders 26 are installed on the top of nuts II24. A reinforcing plate 27 is installed on the top of the reinforcing cylinders 26. A rocker arm 19 is also installed at one end of the lead screw II25. The two sets of rocker arms 19 drive the lead screws I21 and II25 to rotate, thereby adjusting the lateral and longitudinal positions of the reinforcing cylinders 26. Then, in conjunction with the lifting and lowering of the reinforcing cylinders 26, the reinforcing plate 27 is driven to apply pressure and position the cross-connector at any position. Since there is an opening on the tooling table 11, there is sufficient operating space when controlling the movement of the reinforcing plate 27.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper part of the side wall of the mounting bracket 10 is provided with two sets of buttons I 14, one set of knobs 15, and one set of buttons II 16. The two sets of buttons I 14 and button II 16 synchronously control the lifting and lowering of the reinforcing cylinder 26 and the blocking plate 18. The knob 15 is used to control the blocking cylinder 17 to be closed for a long time; that is, the operator needs to press button II 16 and one of the left buttons I 14 at the same time to start the cylinder pressing. After the action is completed, pressing the right button I 14 will lower the blocking cylinder 17 and release the plate. When producing a machine that does not require the installation of the cross-connector, the blocking cylinder can be closed by the knob.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the device is idle, all the driving components mentioned above, which refer to power components, electrical components and compatible power supplies, are connected by wires. The electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection method is known in the field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and does not describe the electrical control. Shake the rocker arm 19, and through the lead screw I 21 and lead screw II 25, align the reinforcing cylinder 26 with the tooling opening. Then, install the crossover connector on the PCB board. The operator presses button II 16 and the left button I 14 at the same time. The cylinder automatically applies pressure and pushes the crossover connector into place. After pressing, the reinforcing cylinder 26 will return to its original position, and the product can flow out normally. In the above solution, the crossover connector can be automatically inserted, avoiding pin deformation that leads to solder bridging and open solder joints.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
