Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material strip terminal cutting technology, and in particular to a material strip terminal multi-mode cutting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, strip terminals are a standardized assembly arranged continuously at a fixed pitch. In the production process, these terminals are first precisely cut from the strip, then fed into a crimping mechanism to be crimped with the corresponding workpiece, thus completing the entire product manufacturing process.

[0003] Before crimping the terminals, a crucial step is to separate the terminals from the strip. After separation, the terminals are fed into the crimping mechanism for crimping. It's important to note that the crimping method may vary depending on specific production needs. Sometimes only a single terminal may need to be crimped, while other times two or three terminals may need to be crimped simultaneously.

[0004] However, most similar products currently on the market only offer a single terminal cutting method. If manufacturers require other cutting methods, they often have to purchase additional crimping machines and add workstations. This not only increases the initial investment in equipment but may also lead to higher production costs, as more equipment and manpower are needed to support the additional workstations.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0040] First, combine Figures 2-11 This invention describes a multi-mode cutting mechanism for strip terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for multi-mode cutting of strip terminals and has a wide range of applications.

[0041] like Figures 2-11 As shown in the figure, a multi-mode cutting mechanism for strip terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom blade assembly 100, a fixed cutting blade 200, multiple moving cutting blades 300, and an adjustment module.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the bottom blade assembly 100 is provided with multiple cutting openings 101; the cutting end 500 of the fixed cutter 200 is directly opposite one of the cutting openings 101; the cutting ends 500 of multiple moving cutters 300 are directly opposite the remaining multiple cutting openings 101; by cooperating with the multiple moving cutters 300 and the cutting ends 500 of the fixed cutter 200 with the multiple cutting openings 101, the terminal can be cut off. In this embodiment, as... Figures 2-3 As shown, there are three moving cutters 300, and the number can be adjusted according to requirements. The fixed cutter 200, the multiple moving cutters 300, and the adjustment module constitute the cutter assembly.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the adjustment module is connected to the fixed cutter 200 and multiple movable cutters 300, and is used to adjust the relative position of each movable cutter 300 and the fixed cutter 200, thereby realizing multi-mode cutting of terminals (such as single-terminal cutting, two-terminal cutting, three-terminal cutting, etc.). The adjustment module includes: a shelf 401, a guide block 402, a screw 403, multiple transmission grooves 404, multiple springs 405, multiple transmission inclined surfaces 406, a mounting bracket 407, multiple drivers 408, and multiple inclined surface sliders 409; the screw 403 fixes the fixed cutter 200 and the guide block 402 to the shelf 401; multiple mounting holes 4021 are provided on one side of the guide block 402; multiple transmission grooves 404 are respectively opened on the multiple movable cutters 300, and the multiple movable cutters 300 are sleeved on the shelf 401 through the corresponding transmission grooves 404. On the guide block 402; one end of each of the multiple springs 405 is inserted into a multiple mounting hole 4021, and the other end of each of the multiple springs 405 contacts the inner wall of a multiple transmission groove 404; multiple transmission ramps 406 are respectively opened on one side of a multiple moving cutter 300; the mounting bracket 407 is connected to the shelf 401; the output ends of multiple drivers 408 pass through the mounting bracket 407; multiple ramp sliders 409 are respectively set on the output ends of the multiple drivers 408, and the multiple ramp sliders 409 are respectively directly opposite the multiple transmission ramps 406. By controlling the operation of the corresponding driver 408, the driver 408 can drive the corresponding ramp slider 409 to descend, so that the ramp slider 409 contacts the transmission ramp 406 on the corresponding moving cutter 300, so that the cutting end 500 of the corresponding moving cutter 300 is aligned with the cutting end 500 of the fixed cutter 200, thereby completing the conversion of the corresponding cutting mode.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the adjustment module also includes a position detection unit 410, which is disposed at the bottom of the multiple inclined sliders 409 and is used to detect the position of the multiple inclined sliders 409. The position detection unit 410 is a position sensor. By detecting the position of the multiple inclined sliders 409, the driver 408 is prevented from malfunctioning, which would affect the cutting effect of the terminal. This forms a closed-loop control for the cutter and improves reliability.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the adjustment module also includes a stop block 411, which is connected to the shelf 401 and is used to block the internal components and protect them.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the actuator 408 is a cylinder. Each of the output ends of multiple actuators 408 is connected to a connector 412, and each of the tops of multiple inclined sliders 409 is provided with a slot 413. The connectors 412 on the output ends of the multiple actuators 408 respectively engage with the slots 413 on the multiple inclined sliders 409. The connectors 412 and the slots 413 facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the inclined sliders 409.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the bottom blade assembly 100 is provided with multiple guide ports 102; the fixed cutter 200 is provided with a guide end 600 that is directly opposite to one of the guide ports 102, and the multiple moving cutters are provided with guide ends 600 that are directly opposite to the remaining guide ports 102 respectively. The guide ends 600 and guide ports 102 are provided for guidance to ensure the stable movement of the cutters.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] When it is necessary to cut terminals, first adjust the position of the corresponding moving cutter 300 according to the desired terminal cutting style. The specific adjustment steps are as follows:

[0050] The corresponding driver 408 is controlled to run, causing the driver 408 to drive the corresponding inclined slider 409 to descend, so that the inclined slider 409 contacts the transmission inclined surface 406 on the corresponding moving cutter 300 and pushes the corresponding moving cutter 300 to move (at this time, the corresponding spring 405 is compressed), so that the cutting end 500 of the corresponding moving cutter 300 is aligned with the cutting end 500 of the fixed cutter 200. When the bottom position detection unit 410 detects the corresponding inclined slider 409, it means that the corresponding cutting mode setting is completed.

[0051] After the cutting mode is set, the cutter assembly is driven to move toward the bottom cutter assembly 100 by an external moving structure, thereby cutting off the terminal located between the two and completing the terminal cutting.

[0052] When it is necessary to change the cutting mode, the control driver 408 is reset, the inclined slider 409 disengages from the transmission inclined surface 406 on the corresponding moving cutter 300, and the moving cutter 300 will slowly reset under the action of the spring 405. Then, the corresponding cutting mode setting is completed according to the above adjustment steps.

[0053] Above, refer to Figures 2-11 A multi-mode cutting mechanism for strip terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0054] 1. By cleverly integrating mechanical and pneumatic technologies, an innovative system has been developed that can flexibly handle various terminal cutting modes—whether it's single-terminal, double-terminal, or triple-terminal cutting requirements, it can be handled with ease. This design greatly enhances the versatility and compatibility of the terminal crimping process, allowing complex crimping production processes that previously required multiple workstations to be completed in a single station. This transformation not only significantly improves production efficiency but also substantially reduces production costs.

[0055] 2. This single-station multi-mode terminal cutting system stands out for its superior reliability and stability, while also being extremely easy to maintain. In practical production applications, it significantly reduces equipment investment, simplifies processes, and substantially improves production efficiency. Through this innovative solution, enterprises can more effectively respond to market changes, enhance competitiveness, and achieve a more efficient and economical production model.
