[0002] Electronic connectors are components used to complete electrical connections between circuits or electronic devices; they are essentially bridges between the two. Electronic connectors consist of multiple components, and the termination methods for electrical connectors typically include soldering, crimping, wrapping, piercing, and screwing. Among these, crimping is a commonly used assembly method for electrical connectors.
[0003] Patent (CN117526038B) discloses a connector crimping device, belonging to the field of crimping device technology. To address the problem that misalignment of the crimped component leads to substandard crimping results, and that misalignment of one component can cause batch crimping defects and damage to surrounding components, the invention includes a workbench and a controller fixedly mounted on the upper side wall of the workbench. Several support components are fixedly installed on the workbench surface, and a crimping lower plate is interspersed on each support component. Several anti-misalignment components are embedded in the crimping lower plate. A collecting component is fixedly mounted directly below the crimping lower plate. Crimping components are movably mounted through the top surface of the workbench. This invention ensures that the material remains vertical during crimping. If misalignment occurs, the anti-misalignment components can detach the material from the crimping lower plate without affecting the crimping effect of other materials.
[0004] The connector crimping device in the aforementioned patent document requires that after the connector between the upper and lower pressure plates is crimped, the crimped connectors must be removed by the operator before a new connector can be inserted to continue the crimping process, resulting in low crimping efficiency.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic rebound crimping assembly, including a base 1 and a turntable conveyor 2. The base 1 is provided with a crimping head 3 above the turntable conveyor 2. The turntable conveyor 2 includes a base plate 201. A support plate 202 is provided at the center of the top of the base plate 201. A rotatably connected support ring 203 is sleeved on the top of the base plate 201 outside the support plate 202. A plurality of crimping bases 204 matching the crimping head 3 are provided on the top of the support ring 203. A feeding pusher 205 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the base plate 201. A clamping pusher 206 is provided on the outer wall of the base plate 201 on one side of the crimping head 3. A discharging pusher 207 is provided on one side of the top of the support plate 202. An elastic gripper 218 is provided on the top of the crimping base 204 away from the support plate 202. A limiting block 219 is provided on the other side of the top of the crimping base 204.
[0027] In one embodiment, the feeding pusher 205 is located between the clamping pusher 206 and the discharging pusher 207, which can effectively ensure that the feeding, clamping and discharging of electrical connector accessories are carried out at three separate workstations, and can effectively avoid mutual interference between the feeding, clamping and discharging of electrical connector accessories.
[0028] In one embodiment, the support ring 203 has an annular rack at its bottom, and the base plate 201 has a gear that meshes with the annular rack at its top. The base plate 201 has a motor at its bottom, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the shaft of the gear. When the support ring 203 rotates, the motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear meshes with the annular rack to drive the annular rack to rotate, thereby driving the support ring 203 to rotate. This allows for switching the rotational position of different pressing bases 204 on the top of the support ring 203, ensuring continuous and rapid pressing processing of different electrical connectors.
[0029] In one embodiment, the feeding pusher 205 includes a first support plate 208, a first hydraulic cylinder 209 is horizontally provided on the top of the first support plate 208, and a first pusher 210 is provided at the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 209. The first support plate 208 supports the first hydraulic cylinder 209, and the extension and retraction movement of the first hydraulic cylinder 209 can drive the first pusher 210 to perform horizontal displacement adjustment, which can push the electrical connector accessories to be pressed into the inner side of the crimping base 204 on the top of the support ring 203, which can realize the rapid feeding process of electrical connector accessories, and the operation is convenient and quick.
[0030] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first support plate 208 is provided with a first guide rail 211 on the side near the bottom plate 201, and the bottom of the first pusher 210 is provided with a first slider 212 that matches the first guide rail 211. The cooperation between the first guide rail 211 and the first slider 212 can effectively improve the safety and stability of the horizontal displacement adjustment of the first pusher 210.
[0031] In one embodiment, the clamping pusher 206 has the same structure as the feeding pusher 205. When the clamping pusher 206 is working, the first hydraulic cylinder 209 in the clamping pusher 206 can drive the first pusher 210 to perform horizontal displacement. The first pusher 210 can clamp and fix the electrical connector accessories at the crimping station, which can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the electrical connector accessories during the crimping operation.
[0032] In one embodiment, the discharge pusher 207 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 213, and a second pusher 214 is provided at the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 213. The end of the second hydraulic cylinder 213 away from the second pusher 214 is fixedly connected to the support plate 202. When the discharge pusher 207 performs the discharge operation, the second hydraulic cylinder 213 extends and retracts, which can drive the second pusher 214 to perform horizontal displacement adjustment. During the horizontal displacement adjustment process, the second pusher 214 can discharge the electrical connector from the crimping base 204, pushing the electrical connector off the crimping base 204 to realize the discharge of the electrical connector accessories, which facilitates the subsequent loading of the electrical connector.
[0033] In one embodiment, the support plate 202 is provided with a second guide rail 215 at the top, the second guide rail 215 extends above the support ring 203, and the second pusher 214 is provided with a second slider 216 at the bottom that matches the second guide rail 215. The cooperation of the second guide rail 215 and the second slider 216 can guide the second pusher 214, which can effectively improve the safety and stability of the horizontal displacement adjustment of the second pusher 214.
[0034] In one embodiment, a clamping top frame 217 is provided on one side of the top of the support plate 202. The clamping top frame 217 is parallel to the clamping push frame 206, and the clamping top frame 217 has the same structure as the discharge push frame 207. The second hydraulic cylinder 213 in the clamping top frame 217 can move back and forth, which can drive the second push frame 214 to adjust its horizontal displacement. The second push frame 214 in the clamping top frame 217 and the first push frame 210 in the clamping push frame 206 cooperate to perform clamping work on both sides of the electrical connector accessories, which can further improve the safety and stability of the electrical connector accessories during the crimping process.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model:
[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-4 This utility model, by setting up a turntable conveyor 2, a crimping connector 3, a base plate 201, a support ring 203, a crimping base 204, a feeding pusher 205, a clamping pusher 206, and a discharging pusher 207, provides support for the turntable conveyor 2. The base 1 supports the turntable conveyor 2, the base plate 201 supports the bottom of the support ring 203, and the support plate 202 supports the inner side of the support ring 203, effectively ensuring the safety and stability of the rotation of the support ring 203. Multiple crimping bases 204 on the top of the support ring 203 provide support positions for the electrical connector parts to be crimped. The rotation of the support ring 203 drives the crimping bases 204 to rotate, realizing the switching of crimping positions. The crimping connector 3 of the base 1 can cooperate with the crimping bases 204 on the top of the support ring 203 to crimp the electrical connector parts. The feeding pusher 205 is used to feed electrical connector parts, the clamping pusher 206 is used to clamp electrical connector parts during crimping operations, and the discharging pusher 207 is used to discharge electrical connector parts from the crimping base 204. The feeding pusher 205 and the clamping pusher 206 are designed to be fixedly connected to the base plate 201, and the discharging pusher 207 is designed to be fixedly connected to the support plate 202. This ensures that when the support ring 203 rotates, only the crimping base 204 and the electrical connector parts at the top of the support ring 203 rotate. The feeding pusher 205, the clamping pusher 206, and the discharging pusher 207 operate in fixed positions, effectively ensuring the stability of the feeding, clamping, and discharging components.
[0037] In use, the electrical connector component to be crimped is sent to the feeding pusher 205. The feeding pusher 205 extends and retracts to push the electrical connector component into the inside of a crimping base 204. The crimping base 204 supports the electrical connector component. The support ring 203 rotates, causing the electrical connector component inside the crimping base 204 to rotate and move under the crimping head 3. The clamping pusher 206 extends and retracts to clamp and fix the electrical connector component under the crimping head 3. Then, the crimping head 3 moves down to perform the crimping operation on the electrical connector component. This effectively ensures the safety and stability of the electrical connector component during the crimping process. After the crimping is completed, the support ring 203 continues to rotate, supporting the connector component... The support ring 203 drives the electrical connector parts below the crimping head 3 to move away from below the crimping head 3. When the crimped electrical connector parts move to the station of the discharge pusher 207, the discharge pusher 207 can extend and retract to push the electrical connector parts inside the crimping base 204 outward, so that the electrical connector parts are detached from the crimping base 204. This makes it easier for the subsequent feeding pusher 205 to push new electrical connector parts onto the crimping base 204, ensuring continuous feeding, clamping and discharging of electrical connector parts. During the crimping operation, there is no need for manual placement of electrical connector parts under the crimping head, nor is there a need for manual removal of electrical connector parts from the crimping base 204, which can effectively improve the working efficiency of the crimping operation of electrical connectors.
[0038] An automatic feeding robot or other automatic feeding equipment can be provided on the outside of the feeding pusher 205 for continuous feeding of the feeding pusher 205; an automatic receiving equipment receiving box or a conveyor belt receiving equipment can be provided on the outside of the discharging pusher 207 for receiving the discharging electrical connector accessories.
[0039] The elastic grippers 218 in the crimping base 204 can effectively clamp and fix the electrical connector accessories. When the electrical connector accessories are pushed into the crimping base 204, the elastic grippers 218 open elastically, allowing the electrical connector accessories to enter the elastic grippers 218 for elastic clamping and fixation. After the electrical connector is removed from the crimping base 204 and discharged, the elastic grippers 218 automatically spring back, facilitating the subsequent normal clamping of new electrical connector accessories. This effectively ensures the stability of the electrical connector accessories during the crimping process and facilitates the discharge operation of the electrical connector accessories. The limiting block 219 limits the crimping head 3 in the vertical direction at the top of the crimping base 204, effectively preventing the crimping head 3 from moving down too far and causing excessive pressure on the electrical connector accessories, which could lead to damage.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
