Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contact welding equipment technology, and in particular to an automated feeding device for contact welding. Background Technology

[0002] Contacts are the parts in electrical equipment, electronic components, mechanical devices, or other systems that enable electrical contact. Typically, contacts are critical components used to transmit current, signals, or mechanical force. Automated feeding devices are often used to improve production efficiency, ensure consistency, and reduce human error. However, after some contacts have been soldered, they are usually removed manually. Because the contacts are still at a high temperature during the soldering process, operators can easily suffer burns if they manually pick them up without proper protective measures. Furthermore, manual operation is limited by the worker's experience, skill, and condition, and is prone to errors. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background art by proposing an automated feeding device for contact welding.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automated feeding device for contact welding, including an operating table and multiple contacts, and further including: a feeding mechanism disposed on the operating table for conveying the contacts; a pushing mechanism installed on the operating table for pushing the contacts conveyed by the feeding mechanism; and a support base fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table, one end of which is provided with a discharge mechanism that is linked to the pushing mechanism.

[0005] Optionally, the feeding mechanism includes a guide bin fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the operating table. The upper surface of the operating table is also fixedly connected to a conveying guide rail for conveying the contact points to the support base. The inside of the guide bin is provided with an inclined sliding surface for the contact points to slide into the conveying guide rail by their own weight.

[0006] Optionally, the pushing mechanism includes a base fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table, a cylinder fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, an L-shaped push-pull plate fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder, and a baffle that locks the contact point and the end of the L-shaped push-pull plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention proposes an automated feeding device for contact welding, including an operating table 1 and multiple contacts 4. The operating table 1 has a feeding port 11 for the contacts 4 to fall into. The upper surface of the operating table 1 is provided with a welding mechanism 7 for welding the contacts 4 on an L-shaped rotating plate 54. The device also includes: a feeding mechanism disposed on the operating table 1 for conveying the contacts 4; a pushing mechanism, which is installed on the operating table 1 to push the contacts 4 conveyed by the feeding mechanism; and a support base 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table 1. One end of the support base 5 is provided with a discharge mechanism that is linked to the pushing mechanism.

[0025] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a guide bin 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the operating table 1. The upper surface of the operating table 1 is also fixedly connected to a conveyor rail 3 that transports the contact point 4 to the support base 5. The conveyor rail 3 is a common component in material handling systems, primarily used to guide and support the smooth flow of goods along a production line or transport path. It is commonly used in automation, assembly lines, or conveyor systems as a "track" for the movement of goods, and can assist in the transfer of goods or workpieces within the system through sliding, rolling, or other means. The interior of the guide bin 2 is equipped with an inclined sliding surface 21 that allows the contact point 4 to slide into the conveyor rail 3 by its own weight. The reason why the inclined sliding surface 21 enables the material to slide automatically is mainly related to gravity, friction, and the interaction between the material and the sliding surface.

[0026] The pushing mechanism includes a base 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table 1. A cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 6. An L-shaped push-pull plate 62 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 61. A limiting slider 63, which slides into a sliding groove 51, is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the L-shaped push-pull plate 62. The limiting slider 63 ensures that the L-shaped push-pull plate 62 can only slide in a straight line on the support base 5, preventing it from deviating from its trajectory. A baffle 58, which holds the contact point 4 and the end of the L-shaped push-pull plate 62, is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base 5. The baffle 58 prevents the contact point 4 from falling out of the support base 5 and also holds the contact point 4 in place on the support base 5.

[0027] Furthermore, the material discharge mechanism includes a sliding groove 51 formed within the support base 5. A slot 53 is formed at the end of the support base 5 furthest from the L-shaped push-pull plate 62. Inside the slot 53 are a pair of telescopic grooves 55, each with a fixed return spring 56. The return spring 56 causes the L-shaped rotating plate 54, which is not under tension, to automatically rotate to a horizontal position, allowing the next locking contact 4 to slide onto it. The top of each return spring 56 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the L-shaped rotating plate 54. The slot 53 contains an L-shaped rotating plate 54 for placing the contact 4. A rotating pull block 57 is rotatably connected inside the sliding groove 51. The top of the rotating pull block 57 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of one end of the L-shaped rotating plate 54. A connecting pull rope 52 is fixedly connected between the rotating pull block 57 and the middle of the L-shaped push-pull plate 62. The connecting pull rope 52 is made of nylon, which is sturdy and durable.

[0028] In this embodiment, when contact welding requires the use of an automated feeding device, such as Figure 1 As shown, contact 4 is placed in the inclined sliding surface 21 on the guide hopper 2 according to the specified front and back sides. Contact 4 will slide into the conveying guide rail 3 under its own weight. Then, contact 4 is conveyed sequentially into the support base 5 through the conveying guide rail 3 until contact 4 in the conveying guide rail 3 moves to the support base 5. At this time, the baffle 58 on the support base 5 locks the contact 4 in the conveying guide rail 3, preventing it from being conveyed into the support base 5. Then, the cylinder 61 on the base 6 can be activated. The piston rod of the cylinder 61 pushes the L-shaped push-pull plate 62 into the support base 5, thereby causing the L-shaped push-pull plate 62 to push the contact 4 on the support base 5 to move onto the L-shaped rotating plate 54 directly below the welding mechanism 7. The welding mechanism 7 can then be operated to weld the contact 4 on the L-shaped rotating plate 54. When the L-shaped push-pull plate 62 returns to its original position via the output axis of the cylinder 61, the L-shaped push-pull plate 62 causes the connecting pull rope 52 to tighten, and one end of the connecting pull rope 52 pulls the rotating block 57 to rotate within the sliding groove 51. The top of the rotating block 57 then causes the L-shaped rotating plate 54 to rotate upward. This allows the contact point 4 on the L-shaped rotating plate 54 to slide into the feed inlet 11 under its own weight. Finally, a collection basket is placed at the bottom of the feed inlet 11 in advance to collect the contact point 4 that has been welded through the feed inlet 11, making the process quick and convenient.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
