Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material strip processing equipment, specifically to a material strip cutting and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors are widely used in various electronic devices to provide electrical connections between electronic components. A typical electrical connector usually includes several conductive terminals for signal transmission and a plastic base to support and fix these conductive terminals. They are usually manufactured by stamping a metal strip, then performing a secondary injection molding process to connect it to the plastic base, ultimately forming a roll of terminal strip. The terminals on the strip are then cut, and the materials used are generally relatively soft. This is illustrated in Chinese invention patent CN117334585A, which discloses a one-time injection molding packaging process for a camera chip module. Figure 2 As shown, the terminals on the material strip include a first terminal located in the inner hole of the plastic base, a second terminal connecting the plastic base and the material strip, and a third terminal perpendicular to the end face of the material strip. The height of the top of the first terminal, the second terminal and the third terminal is lower than the height of the top end face of the material strip, and the first terminal and the second terminal are parallel to the end face of the material strip.

[0003] In existing technologies, a cutter perpendicular to the material strip is typically used to cut the first and second terminals by controlling the rise and fall of the cutter. However, existing technologies lack equipment that can simultaneously cut the first and second terminals and break off the third terminal perpendicular to the end face of the material strip. This requires manual breaking off, resulting in low processing efficiency for the material strip terminals. Utility Model Content

[0009] The second pressing assembly includes a pressing block corresponding to the cutting frame. The pressing block cooperates with the first cutter and the second cutter to press the cut strip tightly.

[0010] The material feeding assembly includes a linkage mechanism, a drive motor, a mounting plate, and a gripper disposed on the mounting plate. The drive motor is connected to the linkage mechanism, and the gripper corresponds to a third terminal.

[0032] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a material strip cutting and feeding device 100, which includes a platform 10 for carrying material strip 200, a first pressing component 20, a cutting component 30, a second pressing component 40 and a feeding component 50. The material strip 200 is cut on the platform 10 by the cutting component 30, and then fed by the cooperation of the second pressing component 40 and the feeding component 50.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment of the utility model, the material strip 200 includes a plastic base 201 and terminals, as well as a connecting material strip 205 for connecting multiple plastic bases 201. The terminals include a first terminal 202 located in the inner hole of the plastic base 201, a second terminal 203 connecting the plastic base 201 and the connecting material strip 205, and a third terminal 204 perpendicular to the end face of the material strip 200. The height of the top of the first terminal 202, the second terminal 203 and the third terminal 204 is lower than the height of the top end face of the material strip 200. The first terminal 202 and the second terminal 203 are both parallel to the end face of the material strip 200.

[0035] The platform 10 is provided with a punching hole 11. The diameter of the punching hole 11 is smaller than the length and width of the connecting strip 205, and the diameter of the punching hole 11 is larger than the size of the plastic base 201.

[0036] The first pressing assembly 20 includes a lifting cylinder 21 and a pressing plate 22 disposed at the output end of the lifting cylinder 21. The pressing plate 22 is raised and lowered by the lifting cylinder 21 to press the material strip 200 on the platform 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, since the height of the top of the first terminal 202, the second terminal 203 and the third terminal 204 on the material strip 200 is lower than the height of the top end face of the material strip 200, the pressing plate 22 does not contact the top of the first terminal 202, the second terminal 203 and the third terminal 204 when pressing the material strip 200.

[0037] The cutting direction of the cutting assembly 30 is opposite to that of the first pressing assembly 20, and the cutting assembly 30 cuts upwards. The cutting assembly 30 includes a cutting frame 31 and a moving unit. The cutting frame 31 is provided with a first cutter 311 and a second cutter 312. The first cutter 311 corresponds to the first terminal 202 on the material strip 200, and the second cutter 312 corresponds to the second terminal 203 on the material strip 200. The moving unit is used to control the first cutter 311 and the second cutter 312 to rise to pass through the cutting hole 11 and cut the first terminal 202 and the second terminal 203 on the material strip 200. Then, the cutting frame 31 is controlled to transfer the cut material strip 200 to the corresponding material feeding assembly 50.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the moving unit includes a first moving unit 32 and a lifting unit 33. The output end of the first moving unit 32 is provided with a support platform 321 for supporting the cutting frame 31. The output ends of the first moving unit 32 and the lifting unit 33 are connected. The moving direction of the first moving unit 32 is set along the length direction of the frame 51, and the lifting unit 33 is set along the height direction of the frame 51. The first moving unit 32 and the lifting unit 33 respectively adopt the existing screw drive structure and cylinder drive structure.

[0039] The first cutter 311 has a circular structure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first cutter 311 is a frustum structure. The diameter of the end of the first cutter 311 facing the material strip 200 is smaller than the diameter of the end of the first cutter 311 away from the material strip 200. The inner diameter of the plastic base 201 of the material strip 200 is located at the outer diameter of the end of the first cutter 311 facing the material strip 200 and the diameter of the end of the first cutter 311 away from the material strip 200. This allows the first cutter 311 and the second cutter 312 to cut the first terminal 202 and the second terminal 203 on the material strip 200 upwards, respectively. The cut material strip 200 can then be secured on the first cutter 311 and transferred to the next cutting position.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 The second pressing assembly 40 includes a pressing block 41 corresponding to the cutting frame 31, and a mounting bracket 42 for mounting the pressing block 41, which is fixedly mounted on the frame 51. The pressing block 41 cooperates with the first cutter 311 and the second cutter 312 to press the cut strip 200. The pressing block 41 is provided with a mounting hole 411 that matches the first cutter 311. When pressing the strip 200, the top end of the first cutter 311 is inserted into the mounting hole 411 and the end face of the pressing block 41 abuts against the end face of the strip 200, while the second cutter 312 contacts the side wall of the pressing block 41.

[0041] The material feeding assembly 50 includes a frame 51, a linkage mechanism, a drive motor 52, a mounting plate 53, and a gripper 54 disposed on the mounting plate 53, as well as a slide rail 57 disposed on the frame 51. The drive motor 52 is connected to the linkage mechanism, the gripper 54 corresponds to the third terminal 204, the slide rail 57 is located below the mounting plate 53, and the mounting plate 53 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 57. The drive motor 52 drives the gripper 54 to reciprocate and disconnect the third terminal 204 by controlling the linkage mechanism.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The linkage mechanism includes a first link 55 and a second link 56. The first link 55 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 52, and the first link 55 and the second link 56 are movably connected. The second link 56 is rotatably connected to a mounting plate 53, which is located on one side of the drive motor 52. A slide rail 57 is placed along the moving direction of the gripper 54. Further, in this embodiment, the first link 55 has a sliding groove 551, and one end of the second link 56 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 551. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 has a bearing block 521 for supporting the first link 55. The bearing block 521 has a groove adapted to the first link 55, so that the first link 55 and the output shaft of the drive motor 52 are relatively fixed. The slide rail 57 is arranged along the width direction of the frame 51.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 The solid circle on the first link 55 in the diagram is only for distinguishing the two ends of the first link 55 and does not indicate a physical entity. The drive motor 52 controls the mounting plate 53 to move the gripper 54 according to the process from A to B to C to D as shown in the diagram, via the first link 55 and the second link 56. When the drive motor 52 controls the first link 55 to rotate, the first link 55, through the second link 56, tends to rotate the mounting plate 53. However, due to the limiting effect of the slide rail 57 on the mounting plate 53, the mounting plate 53 can only move as shown in the diagram. Figure 6 The reciprocating translation along the width direction of the frame 51, as shown in A to B to C to D, means that the several grippers 54 on the mounting plate 53 can only move back and forth along the width direction of the frame 51. The moving direction of the grippers 54 is perpendicular to the placement direction of the third terminal 204, so that the grippers 54 can break the third terminal 204 during the reciprocating movement.

[0044] The feeding assembly 50 also includes a telescopic cylinder 531 mounted on the mounting plate 53. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 531 is provided with a support plate 532. The support plate 532 and the gripper 54 are fixedly connected. The telescopic direction of the telescopic cylinder 531 and the moving direction of the gripper 54 are perpendicular to each other. The moving direction of the first moving unit 32 and the telescopic direction of the telescopic cylinder 531 are parallel to each other.

[0045] In this embodiment, the plastic base 201 and terminals in the strip 200 are provided in four sets, and the number of punching holes 11, cutter 1 311 and cutter 2 312, pressing blocks 41 and clamps 54 are all set according to the number of plastic bases 201 and terminals.

[0046] The working process of the strip cutting and feeding device 100 provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the injection-molded strip 200 is placed on the carrier 10, so that each plastic base 201 on the strip 200 corresponds to a punching hole 11. Then, the lifting cylinder 21 is activated to control the pressure plate 22 to descend and press the end face of the top of the strip 200. Then, the first moving unit 32 and the lifting unit 33 are activated to control the first cutter 311 and the second cutter 312 on the cutting frame 31 to move to the position corresponding to the strip 200. Then, the lifting unit 33 controls the first cutter 311 and the second cutter to move upward through the punching hole 11 to cut the first terminal 202 and the second terminal 203 on the strip 200. Then, it moves upward so that the cut strip 200 is fitted on the first cutter 311 and then descends to the same height as the gripper 54. The first moving unit 32 moves towards the gripper 54, while the telescopic cylinder 531 controls the gripper 54 to approach the third terminal 204 on the material belt 200. Once the gripper 54 can contact the third terminal 204, the drive motor 52 is started. The relative movement of the first connecting rod 55 and the second connecting rod 56 causes the mounting plate 53 to drive the gripper 54 to move back and forth along the placement direction of the slide rail 57 until the third terminal 204 on the material belt 200 is broken.

[0047] Beneficial effects: This invention, by setting up cutters 311 and 312 corresponding to the first and second terminals 202 and 203 on the strip 200 for cutting, simultaneously sets up a second pressing assembly 40 and a pushing assembly 50. The third terminal 204 is broken off by the reciprocating movement of the gripper 54. Thus, the cutting of the first and second terminals 202 and the breaking off of the third terminal 204 can be achieved with a single device. Compared with existing technologies, this reduces the need for additional manual steps to break off the third terminal 204, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the strip 200 terminals.
