[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown:
[0022] This utility model provides a fixture for assisting in the closure of a connector after FPC terminal insertion, comprising a pull-out block 1, a first clamping block 2, a second clamping block 3, and a mounting bracket 4; the mounting bracket 4 has a first rotating shaft 45 and a second rotating shaft 46 on its upper and lower sides respectively; the mounting bracket 4 has a first pull-out groove 41 and a second pull-out groove 42 arranged parallel to the pull-out direction of the pull-out block 1 on its upper and lower sides respectively; the pull-out block 1 has a first shaft 43 and a second shaft 44 on its upper and lower sides respectively; the end of the first clamping block 2 near the pull-out block 1 is the pull-out end, and the end away from the pull-out block 1 is the clamping end; the pull-out end of the first clamping block 2 is provided with a first sliding groove 47; the end of the second clamping block 3 near the pull-out block 1 is the pull-out end, and the end away from the pull-out block 1 is the clamping end; the first... The pull-out end of the second clamping block 3 is provided with a second sliding groove 48; wherein: the pull-out block 1 is slidably connected to the first pull-out groove 41 via the first shaft 43; the pull-out block 1 is slidably connected to the second pull-out groove 42 via the second shaft 44; the first clamping block 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4 via the first rotating shaft 45; the second clamping block 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4 via the second rotating shaft 46; the pull-out block 1 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 47 via the first shaft 43; the pull-out block 1 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 48 via the second shaft 44; the included angle between the first pull-out groove 41 and the first sliding groove 47 is equal to the included angle between the second pull-out groove 42 and the second sliding groove 48, and both are acute angles; the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 are symmetrically arranged to form a clamping structure.
[0023] When the fixture for closure of the connector after FPC terminal insertion provided by this utility model needs to close the connector, the FPC terminal is inserted into the connector beforehand, and then the connector is inserted between the clamping end of the first clamping block 2 and the clamping end of the second clamping block 3. Pull the pull block 1 away from the connector, and the pull block 1 drives the first shaft 43 to slide in the first slide groove 47, while the second shaft 44 is also driven to slide in the second slide groove 48. Since the first pull-out groove 41 and the first sliding groove 47 form an acute angle, and the second pull-out groove 42 and the second sliding groove 48 also form an acute angle, when the pull-out block 1 is pulled backward, the two ends of the first shaft 43 and the second shaft 44 slide in the first pull-out groove and the second pull-out groove 42 respectively. Since the first pressing block 2 and the second pressing block 3 are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 4 through the first rotating shaft 45 and the second rotating shaft 46 respectively, forming a lever structure, the pull-out end of the first pressing block 2 and the pull-out end of the second pressing block 3 are far apart from each other, and the pressing end of the first pressing block 2 and the pressing end of the second pressing block 3 are close together, squeezing the two sides of the connector, so that the connector is effectively closed.
[0024] The present invention provides a fixture for closing the connector after the FPC terminal is inserted. By setting a pull block 1, the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 are driven to clamp the connector and close it. This not only saves manpower and improves efficiency, but also avoids the situation where manual closing is not in place.
[0025] Because the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 are symmetrically arranged to form a clamping structure, they are open to both sides when not clamped, resulting in a large space occupation. To reduce the space occupied by the device, in a preferred embodiment, the first clamping block 2 is bent towards the second clamping block 3, with an obtuse angle between the pull-out end and the clamping end of the first clamping block 2; similarly, the second clamping block 3 is bent towards the first clamping block 2, with an obtuse angle between its pull-out end and its clamping end. By bending the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 closer together, the outward expansion space when not clamped can be reduced, effectively reducing the overall space occupied by the device.
[0026] In order to effectively apply pressure to the connector when the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 are clamped together, in a preferred embodiment, both the clamping ends of the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 are provided with clamping posts 5. Since the connector is small in size, the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 cannot effectively contact the position of the connector that needs to be clamped when clamped closed. By providing clamping posts 5, the pressure applied by the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 can be transmitted to the connector through the clamping posts 5, which can reduce the pressure application area, improve the accuracy of the clamping position, and enable the connector to close effectively.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a push-pull clamp 6; the rear end of the pull-out block 1 is connected to the clamp end of the push-pull clamp 6.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the cylinder 7 is also included; the rear end of the pull block 1 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 7.
[0029] In order to fix the connector and ensure that the first clamping block 2 and the second clamping block 3 can be accurately clamped, a preferred embodiment of this invention also includes a positioning mechanism; the positioning mechanism includes a bracket 8 and a positioning block 81; the bracket 8 is located at the bottom of the positioning block 81; the positioning block 81 has an insertion port, through which the connector is inserted into the positioning block 81; the positioning block 81 is located between the clamping end of the first clamping block 2 and the clamping end of the second clamping block 3.

This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not claimed herein.
