[0028] The technical solutions of some embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a ferrule crimping machine for crimping ferrules and tailstocks, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a turntable 5 installed in the middle of the mounting table of the crimping machine, and a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, a crimping mechanism 3 and a unloading mechanism 4 arranged in sequence around the turntable 5;

[0031] The turntable 5 is provided with at least one fixture 51 for accommodating one end of the insert;

[0032] The first feeding mechanism 1 includes a first vibrating feeding plate for feeding inserts, a feeding pipe 11, and a first control mechanism for controlling the movement of inserts onto the fixture.

[0033] The second feeding mechanism 2 includes a second vibrating feeding plate for feeding the tail shank and a second control mechanism for controlling the tail shank to move to the other end of the insert.

[0034] The crimping mechanism 3 is used to press the tail shank onto the insert, and includes a third cylinder 31 mounted on the mounting platform. The output end of the third cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to a pressure block 32.

[0035] The unloading mechanism 4 is used to remove the pressed insert and tailstock from the fixture.

[0036] It should be noted that the first feeding mechanism 1 guides the ferrule discharged from the vibrating feeding tray to the first control mechanism through the feeding tube 11. The first cylinder 15 drives the fixing block 16 to open and close the bottom opening of the feeding tube 11. Then, driven by the first cylinder 12, the ferrule is inserted into the fixture 51 with the help of the track 13 and the sliding part 14. Then the turntable 5 rotates, the second feeding mechanism 2 pre-fits the tail shank onto the ferrule, and then the crimping mechanism 3 presses the ferrule into the tail shank. Then the unloading mechanism 4 sucks it out through the suction nozzle and places it in the unloading groove 44. Finally, it is stored in the storage box 45, completing the crimping of the fiber optic ferrule and the tail shank. This avoids problems such as missing feeding and incorrect docking that may occur with mixed feeding. The feeding, crimping and unloading steps are strictly standardized, which improves the stability and efficiency of crimping.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the first control mechanism includes a first cylinder 12 mounted on the mounting platform, a rail 13, and a sliding member 14 slidably connected to the outside of the rail 13. A second cylinder 15 is mounted on the outside of the sliding member 14. A fixing block 16 is provided at the output end of the second cylinder 15. The fixing block 16 is used to open and close the feed pipe 11 to control the discharge of the insert.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the second control mechanism includes two sets of linked adjustment mechanisms mounted on the mounting platform. One set of adjustment mechanisms has a clamp 21 mounted on its exterior and is mounted on the exterior of the other set of adjustment mechanisms to enable the clamp to move in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a cylinder, a rail, and a sliding member that is slidably connected to the outside of the rail.

[0040] It should be noted that the adjustment mechanism with clamp 21 is specifically installed on the sliding part of another set of adjustment mechanisms. Then, the cylinder of the other set of adjustment mechanisms pushes the sliding part and the adjustment mechanism to move on the preset track. At the same time, the adjustment mechanism itself can use the cylinder to push the sliding part and clamp 21 to move on the preset track.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the crimping mechanism 3 also includes a protective housing 33, which is fixed to the outside of the mounting platform and is used to shield the crimping block 32.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a fourth cylinder 41 and a fifth cylinder 42 rotatably connected to the mounting platform, and the output ends of the two are rotatably connected through a connecting structure. The output end of the fourth cylinder 41 is provided with a suction nozzle 43, which is used to pick up the pressed insert and tail.

[0043] It should be noted that after the fourth cylinder 41 picks up the pressed insert and tail stick with the suction nozzle 43, the fifth cylinder 42 can drive the fourth cylinder 41 to rotate around the shaft at the connection point with the mounting platform. At the same time, the fifth cylinder 42 itself can also rotate, so that the fourth cylinder 41 drives the pressed insert and tail stick to move above the feeding trough 44 and remove the material.

[0044] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 also includes a feeding trough 44 and a storage box 45. The feeding trough 44 is fixed to the outside of the mounting platform, and the storage box 45 is placed at the tail end of the feeding trough 44.

[0045] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper end face of the fixture 51 is provided with a receiving cavity, which is used to limit one end of the insert. The fixture 51 is provided with a detachable support block for supporting the insert, and the support block is made of a hard material.

[0046] like Figures 1-3 As shown, turntable 5 is placed horizontally and driven by a gap divider.

[0047] Working principle: The first feeding mechanism 1 inserts the ferrule into the fixture 51, the second feeding mechanism 2 pre-fits the tail shank onto the ferrule, the crimping mechanism 3 presses the ferrule into the tail shank, and the unloading mechanism 4 unloads the ferrule, thus completing the crimping of the fiber optic ferrule and the tail shank. This avoids problems such as missing ferrules and incorrect connections that can occur with mixed feeding, and strictly standardizes the feeding, crimping, and unloading steps, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the crimping process.

[0048] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
