[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a terminal riveting device, comprising:

[0033] Base 1;

[0034] Riveting platform 2 is connected to base 1;

[0035] Terminal limiting platform 3 includes platform body 31, terminal limiting groove 32, limiting post 33 and elastic member 34. Platform body 31 is connected to riveting platform 2. Terminal limiting groove 32 is formed on platform body 31. Terminal limiting groove 32 is set in the same shape as the outer contour of signal terminal 8. Limiting post 33 slides through platform body 31. Both ends of elastic member 34 are connected to the bottom end of limiting post 33 and the bottom of platform body 31, respectively.

[0036] The housing limiting platform 4 is connected to the riveting platform 2. The housing limiting platform 4 is set on one side of the terminal limiting platform 3. The housing limiting platform 4 has a housing limiting groove 41, which is set in the same shape as the outer contour of the housing 9.

[0037] The riveting assembly 5 is connected to the base 1.

[0038] The signal terminal 8 is placed in the terminal limiting groove 32, the limiting post 33 passes through the riveting part 81 of the signal terminal 8, and the riveting assembly 5 is used to rivet the riveting part 81 of the signal terminal 8 and the housing 9.

[0039] When using the terminal riveting equipment, the operator places the terminal 8 in the terminal limiting groove 32, and the limiting post 33 passes through the riveting part 81 of the signal terminal 8 to form a limiting setting. Then, the operator inserts the housing 9 onto the riveting part 81, and the housing 9 simultaneously abuts and embeds into the housing limiting groove 41 to form a stable support. Finally, the operator manipulates the riveting assembly 5 to move and press the housing 9 and the riveting part 81 of the signal terminal 8 to form a solid connection. The terminal riveting equipment, by setting the terminal limiting platform 3 and the housing limiting platform 4, can stably place the signal terminal 8 and the housing 9 during the riveting process, eliminating the need for the operator to hold them continuously, avoiding operational risks, improving the safety factor, and ensuring the riveting quality.

[0040] In this embodiment, specifically, the riveting part 81 of the terminal 8 consists of multiple bent and protruding riveting pieces, which are arranged in sequence to surround the central space formed by the multiple riveting pieces. The limiting post 33 is inserted into the central space formed by the multiple riveting pieces.

[0041] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the limiting post 33 includes a first limiting part 331 and a second limiting part 332 connected to each other, the diameter of the first limiting part 331 being smaller than the diameter of the second limiting part 332; the platform 31 has a first limiting hole 311 and a second limiting hole 312 connected to each other, the diameter of the first limiting hole 311 being smaller than the diameter of the second limiting hole 312; the first limiting part 331 passes through the first limiting hole 311, and one end of the first limiting part 331 extends to the outside of the platform 31; the second limiting part 332 passes through the second limiting hole 312, one end of the second limiting part 332 abuts against the top end face of the second limiting hole 312, and the other end of the second limiting part 332 is connected to the elastic member 34; a sealing block 35 is also connected in the second limiting hole 312, and one end of the sealing block 35 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 34.

[0042] The first limiting hole 311 and the second limiting hole 312 limit the positioning post 33. When the riveting assembly 5 is pressed down, the positioning post 33 located inside the riveting part 81 is forced to retract towards the position of the second limiting hole 312, and the elastic element 34 is compressed. When the riveting assembly 5 rises, the elastic element 34 provides a restoring force, driving the positioning post 33 to move and extend until one end of the second limiting part 332 on the positioning post 33 abuts against the top end of the second limiting hole 312. By setting the first limiting hole 311 and the second limiting hole 312, the reliability of the positioning function of the positioning post 3 is improved.

[0043] In this embodiment, specifically, the riveting platform 2 is bolted to the base 1.

[0044] The terminal limiting platform 3 and housing limiting platform 4 installed on the riveting platform 2 are set to correspond to the wiring terminals 8 and housings 9 to be riveted. Different shapes of wiring terminals 8 and housings 9 correspond to different shapes of terminal limiting platforms 3 and housing limiting platforms 4. By setting the bolt connection between the riveting platform 2 and the base 1, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the riveting platform 2, thereby improving the adaptability of the wiring terminal riveting equipment.

[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the riveting assembly 5 includes a bracket 51, a drive component 52, and a lower pressure head 53. The bracket 51 is connected to the base 1, the drive component 52 is connected to the bracket 51, and the lower pressure head 53 is connected to the drive component 52. The drive component 52 drives the lower pressure head 53 to approach or move away from the riveting platform 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the lower pressure head 53 includes a connecting rod 531 and a pressure head 532. The connecting rod 531 is connected to the driving member 52, and the pressure head 532 can be detachably connected to the connecting rod 531. The end of the pressure head 532 is provided with a tapered pressure head.

[0047] The lower pressure head 53 is prone to wear due to frequent contact and pressure with the terminal block 8, necessitating replacement. By setting up the connecting rod 531 and the pressure connector 532, only the pressure connector 532 of the riveting working part on the lower pressure head 53 needs to be replaced, saving production costs.

[0048] In this embodiment, the crimp connector 532 is specifically threadedly connected to the connecting rod 531. The threaded connection facilitates the assembly, disassembly, and replacement of the crimp connector 532 and the connecting rod 531, improving replacement efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2As shown, the riveting assembly 5 also includes a connecting plate 54, a guide post 55, and a guide sleeve 56. The connecting plate 54 is connected to the driving component 52 and the lower pressing head 53 respectively. The guide post 55 is connected to the connecting plate 54, and the guide sleeve 56 is connected to the bracket 51. The guide post 55 is slidably inserted into the guide sleeve 56.

[0050] By setting up a connecting plate 54, a guide post 55, and a guide sleeve 56, when the pressure head 53 is driven to rise and fall by the driving component 52, the guide post 55 slides through the guide sleeve 56, which plays a guiding and limiting role, thereby improving the reliability of the riveting assembly 5 and improving the riveting quality.

[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the terminal block riveting device also includes a control component 6, which includes a controller 61, and the controller 61 is electrically connected to the drive component 52.

[0052] In this embodiment, preferably, the control component 6 further includes a proximity switch 62, which is connected to the base 1 and electrically connected to the controller 61.

[0053] A proximity switch 62 is installed on the outside of the terminal limiting platform 3 and the housing limiting platform 4 to detect whether a terminal block 8 is placed on the terminal limiting platform 3 and whether a housing 9 is placed on the housing limiting platform 4. When the operator places the terminal block 8 and the housing 9 on the terminal limiting platform 3 and the housing limiting platform 4 respectively, the proximity switch 62 detects the presence of materials and sends a signal to the controller 61. The controller 61 then sends a subsequent riveting command, thereby controlling the movement of the riveting assembly 5. By setting the proximity switch 62, the reliability and safety of the terminal riveting equipment are further improved.

[0054] In this embodiment, preferably, the terminal riveting device further includes a protective cover 7, which is connected to the base 1.

[0055] The protective cover 7 is installed on the outside of the riveting platform 2, the terminal limiting platform 3, the housing limiting platform 4, and the pressing assembly 5, thereby further improving the safety protection capability.

[0056] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the terminal riveting equipment is in use, the operator places the terminal 8 in the terminal limiting groove 32, and the limiting post 33 passes through the riveting part 81 to form a limiting setting. Then the operator inserts the housing 9 into the riveting part 81, and the housing 9 simultaneously abuts and is embedded in the housing limiting groove 41. The proximity switch 62 detects that the material is in the preset processing position. The operator uses the controller 61 to drive the driving member 52 to drive the pressing head 53 to press against the riveting part 81, and the riveting part 81 deforms, thereby completing the riveting process of the terminal 8 and the housing 9.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
