Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment technology for manufacturing current collectors, and in particular to a terminal chain feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors and terminal blocks are accessories used to achieve electrical connections. In industry, they are classified as electrical connectors. With the increasing level of industrial automation and the increasingly stringent and precise requirements of industrial control, the usage of terminal blocks is gradually increasing. With the development of the electronics industry, the application range of terminal blocks is expanding, and the types are also increasing. In addition to PCB board terminals, the most widely used types include hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, etc.

[0003] Currently, the process of installing terminal blocks into power connectors requires cutting off each terminal block individually from the terminal block assembly, and then assembling them into the terminal block socket of the power connector through transfer, horizontal rotation, and vertical flipping. This traditional method requires manual feeding, where the terminal block chain is manually inserted into the cutting mechanism, resulting in high labor costs and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of low efficiency in existing manual feeding methods, this invention provides a terminal chain feeding device. Through the cooperation of a conveyor chain and a feeding seat, the terminal chain is fed, replacing manual labor and improving production efficiency.

[0005] This utility model provides a terminal chain feeding device, including a feeding seat for placing the terminal chain and a conveyor chain for driving the feeding seat to move. The feeding seat includes a base plate and a clamping plate. The conveyor chain is connected to the base plate. The clamping plate is rotatable and abuts against the terminal chain placed on the base plate, so that the terminal chain is placed between the base plate and the clamping plate. The terminal chain is fixed by the cooperation of the base plate and the clamping plate, and then the terminal chain is transferred by the conveyor chain.

[0006] Furthermore, the terminal chain includes a chain belt and terminals connected to the chain belt. Positioning blocks for accommodating terminals are evenly distributed on the base plate, and each positioning block has a V-shaped positioning groove. The V-shaped positioning groove provides better placement stability.

[0007] Furthermore, the loading base is equipped with a clamping cylinder for driving the clamping plate to rotate. The loading base also has two side plates for mounting the clamping plate. The front end of the clamping plate is positioned between the two side plates via a rotating shaft, and the rear end of the clamping plate is connected to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping plate to rotate, clamping the terminal chain, similar to the lever principle.

[0008] Furthermore, a clamping block is provided at the front end of the clamping plate, and a V-shaped clamping groove is formed on the clamping block. The clamping block is positioned opposite to the positioning block. The V-shaped structure of the clamping groove and the clamping block ensures the clamping stability of the terminal.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a guide rail, which is set parallel to the conveyor chain, and the base plate is movably connected to the guide rail via a slider at its bottom. The conveyor chain drives the base plate to slide along the guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a transfer seat and a transfer track. The transfer seat is movably connected to the transfer track via a slider at its bottom, and the movement paths of the transfer seat and the loading seat are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the transfer station includes a transfer plate, which also has a positioning plate for accommodating terminals, and a frame-shaped seat for accommodating the chain. The terminal chain can be horizontally transferred to the loading station via the transfer plate.

[0012] Furthermore, an adjusting cylinder is provided between the transfer plate and the transfer seat, and telescopic support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adjusting cylinder. The height of the transfer plate can be adjusted relative to the loading seat by adjusting the cylinder.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model provides a terminal chain feeding device, which prepositions the terminal chain by a transfer plate and transfers it to a feeding seat. Then, the terminal chain is fixed by the cooperation of a base plate and a clamping plate. Finally, the terminal chain is transferred by a conveyor chain, which effectively improves the terminal chain feeding efficiency and thus improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0022] The terminal chain 3 includes a chain belt 31 and terminals 32 connected to the chain belt 31. To improve the feeding efficiency of the terminal chain 3, a terminal chain feeding device is designed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a loading seat 1 for placing the terminal chain 3 and a conveyor chain 2 for driving the displacement of the loading seat 1. The loading seat 1 includes a base plate 11 and a clamping plate 12. The conveyor chain 2 is connected to the base plate 11. The clamping plate 12 can be flipped. The clamping plate 12 abuts against the terminal chain 3 placed on the base plate 11, so that the terminal chain 3 is placed between the base plate 11 and the clamping plate 12.

[0023] The terminal chain 3 is placed on the base plate 11 of the loading seat 1, and then the clamping plate 12 is flipped over and placed on the base plate 11 to fix the terminal chain 3. Then, the terminal chain 3 is moved to the cutting mechanism by the conveyor chain 2 for the next operation, which replaces manual labor and effectively improves the loading efficiency of the terminal chain 3.

[0024] To ensure effective fixation of the terminal chain 3, positioning blocks 4 for accommodating terminals 32 are evenly distributed on the base plate 11, and V-shaped positioning grooves 41 are provided on the positioning blocks 4. The terminals 32 are cylindrical, and the V-shaped positioning grooves 41 can effectively fix them.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to drive the clamping plate 12 to clamp, the loading base 1 is provided with a clamping cylinder 5 for driving the clamping plate 12 to rotate. The loading base 1 is also provided with two side plates 51 for mounting the clamping plate 12. The front end of the clamping plate 12 is set between the two side plates 51 through a rotating shaft 52, and the rear end of the clamping plate 12 is connected to the clamping cylinder 5. The positioning block 4 is set at the front end of the clamping plate 12. When the clamping cylinder 5 extends, it drives the rear end of the clamping plate 12 to lift up, and then the positioning block 4 at the front end of the clamping plate 12 presses down to fix the terminal chain 3 placed on the base plate 11.

[0026] To further ensure clamping stability, a clamping block 6 is provided at the front end of the clamping plate 12. The clamping block 6 has a V-shaped clamping groove 61 and is positioned opposite to the positioning block 4. The clamping block 6 and the positioning block 4 are positioned opposite to each other and are positioned corresponding to the terminals 32 on the terminal chain 3.

[0027] To ensure the stable sliding of the feeding seat 1, a guide rail 7 is also included. The guide rail 7 is arranged parallel to the conveyor chain 2, and the base plate 11 is movably connected to the guide rail 7 via a slider at its bottom. The conveyor chain 2 drives the feeding seat 1 to slide along the guide rail 7.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, to achieve the pre-positioning of the terminal chain 3, a transfer seat 8 and a transfer track 81 are also included. The transfer seat 8 is movably connected to the transfer track 81 via a slider at its bottom. The movement paths of the transfer seat 8 and the loading seat 1 are perpendicular to each other. The terminal chain 3 can be placed on the transfer seat 8 first, with the terminal 32 side of the terminal chain 3 facing the loading seat 1. Then, the transfer seat 8, which slides along the transfer track 81, moves the terminal chain 3 to the loading seat 1. The terminal 32 side is smoothly placed inside the base plate 11 and the clamping plate 12, while the chain 31 side is exposed, facilitating the next cutting operation.

[0029] Specifically, the transfer base 8 includes a transfer plate 82, on which a positioning plate 83 for accommodating the terminal 32 is also provided, and a frame-shaped base 84 for accommodating the chain 31 is also provided on the transfer plate 82. The chain 31 is placed inside the frame-shaped base 84, and the terminal 32 is placed on the positioning plate 83, which also has a V-shaped groove.

[0030] In order to adjust the position of the terminal chain 3 so that it can cooperate with the base plate 11 and the clamping plate 12, an adjusting cylinder 85 is provided between the transfer plate 82 and the transfer seat 8, and telescopic support rods 86 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adjusting cylinder 85.

[0031] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, and all such modifications, variations or equivalents will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
