[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 5 The welding apparatus of the first aspect of this application will be described in detail.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, the welding apparatus includes a terminal conveying module 10 and a welding module 20. The terminal conveying module 10 includes a mounting frame 100 and two terminal conveying structures 200. The two terminal conveying structures 200 are distributed on the mounting frame 100 along a first horizontal direction. Each terminal conveying structure 200 includes a vibratory feeder 210 and a conveying rail 220. The welding module 20 is located on one side of the mounting frame 100 in a second horizontal direction and between the two conveying rails 220. The second horizontal direction is spaced at a certain angle from the first horizontal direction. One end of the conveying rail 220 is connected to the vibratory feeder 210, and the other end of the conveying rail 220 is connected to the welding module 20. The vibratory feeder 210 can supply terminals to the welding module 20 through the conveying rail 220.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the welding device includes a terminal conveying module 10 and a welding module 20. The terminal conveying module 10 includes a mounting frame 100 and two terminal conveying structures 200. Both terminal conveying structures 200 are mounted on the mounting frame 100 and are distributed in the left-right direction. Each terminal conveying structure 200 includes a vibratory feeder 210 and a conveying rail 220. The welding module 20 is located in front of the mounting frame 100 and between the two conveying rails 220. The upper end of the conveying rail 220 is connected to the front end of the vibratory feeder 210, and the lower end of the conveying rail 220 is connected to the welding module 20. The two conveying rails 220 are V-shaped as a whole.

[0038] When the welding apparatus of this application is in operation, the two vibratory feeders 210 can respectively convey terminals to the welding module 20 via the conveyor rail 220, so that the welding module 20 can respectively weld the terminals conveyed by the two vibratory feeders 210 to the opposite ends of the same wire.

[0039] It is understandable that since the welding module 20 is located between the two conveyor rails 220 and in front of the mounting frame 100, and both vibratory feeders 210 are mounted on the mounting frame 100 and distributed in the left and right directions, the distance between the two vibratory feeders 210 can be set smaller, making the difference between the dimensions of the entire welding module 20 in the front-back direction and the dimensions in the left and right direction smaller, and the overall structure of the welding module 20 is more compact.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting bracket 100 includes a first mounting portion 110, a second mounting portion 120, and a connecting portion 130. The first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120 are distributed along a first horizontal direction and are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the connecting portion 130. The first mounting portion 110, the second mounting portion 120, and the connecting portion 130 together define a mounting area 101. The welding module 20 is disposed in the mounting area 101, and two vibrating plates 210 are respectively mounted on the first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame 100 includes a first mounting part 110, a second mounting part 120, and a connecting part 130. The left and right ends of the connecting part 130 are respectively connected to the right rear end of the first mounting part 110 and the left rear end of the second mounting part 120, so that the first mounting part 110, the second mounting part 120, and the connecting part 130 together define the mounting area 101. Two conveying structures are respectively mounted on the first mounting part 110 and the second mounting part 120, and the welding module 20 is disposed in the mounting area 101.

[0042] It is understood that, since the first mounting part 110, the second mounting part 120 and the connecting part 130 jointly define the mounting area 101, and the welding module 20 is disposed in the mounting area 101, the positional distribution between the welding module 20 and the terminal conveying module 10 is more compact, so as to further improve the overall compactness of the welding device structure of this utility model.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the welding module 20 includes a frame 300, a welding assembly 400, and a welding seat 500. The welding assembly 400 and the welding seat 500 are both mounted on the frame 300. The welding seat 500 is provided with two welding stations, which are distributed along a first horizontal direction and are respectively connected to two conveyor rails 220. There are two welding assemblies 400, which are used to weld the terminals on the two welding stations respectively.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the welding module 20 includes a frame 300, welding components 400, and welding base 500. The welding base 500 has two welding stations, which are distributed in the left-right direction. Two conveyor rails 220 are respectively connected to the two welding stations and are used to convey terminals to the connected welding stations. There are two welding components 400, which are both mounted on the frame 300 and are respectively positioned above the two welding stations, and are used to weld the terminals on the two welding stations.

[0045] Understandably, after the two ends of the wire are respectively inserted into the two welding stations, the two terminal conveying structures 200 can respectively convey terminals to the two welding stations, and then the two welding components 400 can respectively weld the terminals on the two welding stations to weld the two terminals to the two ends of the wire.

[0046] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the welding assembly 400 includes a driver 410, a transmission structure 420, and a welding head 430. The welding head 430 is movably arranged in the vertical direction and is located directly above the welding station. The driver 410 is located on the side of the welding head 430 near the mounting bracket 100. The driver 410 is connected to the welding head 430 through the transmission structure 420 and is used to drive the welding head 430 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the welding assembly 400 includes a driver 410, a transmission structure 420, and a welding head 430. The welding head 430 is movably arranged in the vertical direction and is located directly above the welding station. The driver 410 is located on the rear side of the welding head 430 and is connected to the welding head 430 through the transmission structure 420.

[0048] It should be noted that, due to the relatively long length of the welding head 430, if the driver 410 is placed directly above the welding head 430 and directly connected to the welding head 430, the vertical dimensions of the entire welding assembly 400 would be too large, which would be inconvenient for storage and transportation, and the welding assembly 400 would require a large amount of space in the vertical direction. Moreover, the lower end of the welding head 430 needs to be used for welding operations, and the upper end of the welding head 430 is connected to wires. Placing the driver 410 directly above the welding head 430 would interfere with the wires connected to the welding head 430.

[0049] In the welding assembly 400 of this embodiment, by providing a transmission structure 420, the driver 410 can be positioned on the horizontal side of the welding head 430. This reduces the overall height of the welding assembly 400 while also reducing interference of the driver 410 with the wires connected to the welding head 430.

[0050] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission structure 420 includes a slide rail 421, a slide block, and a lead screw 422. The slide rail 421 extends in a vertical direction, and the slide block is slidably disposed on the slide rail 421. The slide block includes a first mounting member 423 and a second mounting member 424 distributed in a second horizontal direction. The lead screw 422 passes through the first mounting member 423 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting member 423. The welding head 430 is mounted on the second mounting member 424. The driver 410 is connected to the lead screw 422 and is used to drive the lead screw 422 to rotate.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 4As shown, the slide rail 421 extends vertically and is mounted on the frame 300. The slide includes a first mounting member 423 and a second mounting member 424 distributed in the front-rear direction. The second mounting member 424 is located in front of the first mounting member 423. The lead screw 422 extends vertically and passes through the first mounting member 423 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting member 423. The upper end of the lead screw 422 is connected to the driver 410. The welding head 430 is mounted on the second mounting member 424.

[0052] Furthermore, driven by the driver 410, the lead screw 422 can rotate to drive the first mounting member 423 to move up and down, thereby causing the slide to move up and down along the slide rail 421, and the welding head 430 can follow the second mounting member 424 to move up and down.

[0053] Specifically, the driver 410 is a motor.

[0054] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the driver 410 can also be a cylinder, in which case the cylinder's extension rod is directly connected to the slide.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 The slide also includes a third mounting member 425, which is connected to the first mounting member 423 and the second mounting member 424 at opposite ends in the second horizontal direction. The third mounting member 425 is adjustable relative to the first mounting member 423 in the second horizontal direction, and the second mounting member 424 is adjustable relative to the third mounting member 425 in the first horizontal direction.

[0056] It is understandable that, since the third mounting component 425 is adjustable relative to the first mounting component 423 along the second horizontal direction, and the second mounting component 424 is adjustable relative to the third mounting component 425 along the first horizontal direction, the position of the welding head 430 in the horizontal direction is adjustable, allowing the operator to adjust the position of the welding head 430 in the horizontal direction according to actual needs.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, the third mounting member 425 is provided with a first elongated hole 425a extending along the second horizontal direction, and a first threaded connector is slidably inserted in the first elongated hole 425a, and the first threaded connector is threadedly connected to the first mounting member 423.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the third mounting member 425 is provided with a first elongated hole 425a extending from front to back. A first threaded connector is slidably inserted in the first elongated hole 425a. The first threaded connector is threadedly connected to the first mounting member 423.

[0059] Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding head 430 in the front-back direction, the operator can loosen the first threaded connector. At this time, the operator can adjust the position of the third mounting part 425 in the front-back direction relative to the first mounting part 423. After the position of the third mounting part 425 is adjusted, the operator tightens the first threaded connector to complete the adjustment of the position of the welding head 430 in the front-back direction.

[0060] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to... Figure 5 The first mounting member 423 is provided with a first groove 423a extending along the second horizontal direction, and the third mounting member 425 is at least partially slidably inserted through the first groove 423a. The groove wall of the first groove 423a is provided with a first threaded hole 423b, and the first threaded connector is inserted through the first threaded hole 423b.

[0061] Understandably, the first groove 423a allows the operator to slide the third mounting piece 425 along the first groove 423a after loosening the first threaded connector, thereby adjusting the position of the third mounting piece 425 in the second horizontal direction. Afterward, the operator can directly tighten the first threaded connector. The first groove 423a also makes it more convenient to adjust the position of the welding head 430 in the second horizontal direction.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5 The second mounting member 424 is provided with a second elongated hole 424a extending in the left and right direction. A second threaded connector is slidably inserted in the second elongated hole 424a. The third mounting member 425 is provided with a second sliding groove 425b extending in the left and right direction. The second mounting member 424 is partially slidably inserted in the second sliding groove 425b. The groove wall of the second sliding groove 425b is provided with a second threaded hole 425c. The first threaded connector is inserted in the second threaded hole 425c.

[0063] Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding head 430 in the left and right directions, the operator can loosen the second threaded connector to slide the second mounting part 424 along the second slide groove 425b. After the second mounting part 424 slides to the preset position, the operator can tighten the second threaded connector to complete the adjustment of the position of the welding head 430 in the left and right directions.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The conveying rail 220 has a conveying channel for conveying terminals. The channel wall of the conveying channel has multiple observation holes 221, which are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the conveying rail 220.

[0065] Understandably, the observation hole 221 is designed to allow staff to observe the delivery of terminals in the delivery channel in real time.

[0066] The data cable production line provided according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the welding apparatus provided in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0067] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
