[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] This embodiment provides a terminal block built-in terminal strip device, including a plastic part conveyor 1, a terminal block feeding-installation device, a bending piece feeding-installation device, and a screw-driving mechanism 4. The plastic part conveyor 1 arranges and transports plastic parts, the bending piece feeding-installation device supplies and fits the bending pieces onto the plastic parts, and the screw-driving mechanism 4 rotates the screw to screw the bending pieces and the terminal blocks together. The terminal block feeding-installation mechanism is characterized in that it includes a first terminal block feeding mechanism 2, a second terminal block feeding mechanism 5, a first installation mechanism 3, and a second installation mechanism 6.
[0046] The first terminal block feeding mechanism 2 is used to supply the first terminal block;
[0047] The first mounting mechanism 3 is used to install the first terminal block inside the plastic part;
[0048] The second terminal block feeding mechanism 5 is used to supply the second terminal block;
[0049] The second mounting mechanism 6 is used to install a number of second terminal blocks in a continuous arrangement inside the plastic part.
[0050] The straight-line terminal block consists of a plastic part, a first terminal block, a second terminal block, a bent piece, and screws. The first terminal block is located at one end of the plastic part, and there is only one of these. The remaining terminals are second terminal blocks. The length of the first terminal block is shorter than that of the second terminal blocks. There are five second terminal blocks in total. The plastic part has mounting grooves for installing the terminal blocks, extending through both sides of the plastic part. The end that needs to be screwed onto the bent piece protrudes from the other side of the plastic part. Because the lengths of the first and second terminal blocks are different, the feed length of the mounting mechanism required to install different terminal blocks within the plastic part is also different. Therefore, the first and second terminal blocks need to be installed separately. The wire connector, second terminal block, bending plate, and screw are all fed by a vibratory feeder and a feeding rail. The first terminal block feeding mechanism 2 arranges the first terminal blocks by vibrating the vibratory feeder and moves them on the feeding rail. When they reach the working area of the first mounting mechanism 3, the push rod of the first mounting mechanism 3 pushes the first terminal block into the mounting groove of the plastic part. At the same time, the second terminal block feeding mechanism 5 supplies the second terminal block to the second mounting mechanism 6. The push rod of the second mounting mechanism 6 installs the second terminal block into the mounting groove of the plastic part. Then, the remaining second terminal blocks are continuously installed into the remaining mounting grooves of the plastic part. The plastic part conveyor 1 moves the plastic part to the mating position according to the installation interval of the second mounting mechanism 6.
[0051] The above method allows for the simultaneous installation of first and second terminal blocks of different sizes onto the plastic parts. It is important to note that the first mounting mechanism 3 and the second mounting mechanism 6 are arranged side by side on the same side.
[0052] Example 2:
[0053] This embodiment provides a terminal block device with built-in terminal strips, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0054] The bending blade feeding and installation device is equipped with two sets of bending blade feeding mechanisms 8 and bending blade installation mechanisms 9;
[0055] The bending sheet feeding mechanism 8 is used to feed bending sheets to the bending sheet mounting mechanism 9;
[0056] The bending plate mounting mechanism 9 is used to fit the bending plate onto the terminal block;
[0057] Two bending plate mounting mechanisms 9 respectively install bending plates on the spaced-apart terminal blocks.
[0058] The bending plate feeding mechanism 8 also consists of a vibratory feeder and a feeding rail. The end of the feeding rail is connected to the bending plate mounting mechanism 9. The vibratory feeder arranges the bending plates in the feeding rail, and the bending plates move along the feeding rail into the bending plate mounting mechanism 9. The bending plate mounting mechanism 9 places the bending plates into one end of the terminal block, aligning the screw holes of the bending plates and the terminal blocks. Then, the screw-driving mechanism 4 screws the bending plates and the terminal blocks together. Two bending plate mounting mechanisms 9 install bending plates on the terminal blocks at intervals. For example, there are six terminal blocks with six bending plate installation positions (numbered 1-6 from one side to the other). One bending plate mounting mechanism 9 installs bending plates at positions 1, 3, and 5, while the other bending plate mounting mechanism installs bending plates at positions 2, 4, and 6. This can extend the interval time of the bending plate mounting mechanism, allowing sufficient time for adjustment and enhancing the accuracy and stability of the bending plate installation.
[0059] Example 3:
[0060] This embodiment provides a terminal block device with built-in terminal strips, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0061] The screw-driving mechanism 4 includes an elastic limiting tube, a delivery conduit, a tightening rod, and a lifting assembly that drives the elastic limiting tube and the tightening rod to rise and fall. The delivery conduit is connected to the elastic limiting tube to deliver the screw into the elastic limiting tube. The tightening rod can descend and pass into the elastic limiting tube to perform a rotating tightening action.
[0062] Example 4:
[0063] This embodiment provides a terminal block device with built-in terminal strips, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0064] The bending plate mounting mechanism 9 includes:
[0065] The feeding component 10 has an internal feeding channel that runs vertically through the feed outlet of the bending sheet feeding mechanism 8.
[0066] The first feeding push rod 11 is slidably set in the feeding channel and outputs upward;
[0067] The second feeding push rod 12 is set at the port of the feeding channel;
[0068] The clamping claw 13 is fixedly mounted on the second feeding push rod 12, and the clamping claw 13 is provided with two clamping claws 14. The side of the clamping claws 14 that are close to each other is provided with a slot 15 for clamping the bent piece.
[0069] The bending sheet is transported into the feeding channel by the bending sheet feeding mechanism 8, and then the bending sheet is pushed upward by the first feeding push rod 11. A magnet can be set on the end of the first feeding push rod 11 to increase the stability of the bending sheet. The bending sheet is then clamped by the gripper 14, and the edge of the bending sheet is clamped in the slot 15. The bending sheet on the gripper 13 is then pushed by the second feeding push rod 12 to the screw-driving mechanism 4.
[0070] Also includes:
[0071] An inspection camera is installed at the exit of the plastic parts conveyor to detect whether the plastic parts are missing screws.
[0072] By setting up a CCD inspection camera to check whether the structure of each assembled terminal is complete, an alarm can be set up to remind the staff that the terminal is defective, and a sorting device can be set up to remove defective products. The separation device can be set up to push with a push rod or blow with an air pump.

[0074] Guide seat, the guide seat is provided with a guide groove;
[0075] A material guiding component is slidably disposed in a guide groove, and an installation channel is provided inside the material guiding component;
[0076] The drive cylinder drives the material guide component to align one port of the mounting channel with the output end of the mounting mechanism, and the other port with the mounting groove on the plastic part for mounting the terminal block.
[0077] The guide seat is installed on a platform or fixed to the ground. The guide seat has guide grooves that are opened vertically. The lower end of the material guiding component is set in the guide groove to move the material guiding component along the guide groove. A drive cylinder is set above the material guiding component and is fixedly connected to the material guiding component. When it is necessary to install any terminal block on the plastic part, the drive cylinder moves the material guiding component downward, so that one end of the installation channel is aligned with the output end of the installation mechanism, and the other end is aligned with the installation groove on the plastic part for installing the terminal block, so that the terminal block can be installed on the plastic part through the installation channel.
[0078] The plastic parts conveyor has a discharge port at one end and a discharge outlet on one side of the discharge port;
[0079] A pusher plate is provided on one side of the plastic parts conveyor opposite the discharge port. The pusher plate is located below the inspection camera. When the inspection camera detects a defective terminal, the pusher plate pushes the terminal out of the discharge port.
