DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 ;

[0027] The jig aims at pre-shaping metal terminals and can replace manual operation to improve work efficiency; first, the structure of the metal terminal is explained, referring to Figure 1 is one of the structure diagrams of the metal terminal to be added, and the specific details vary with different models, and the general structure is the same, including the main body 51, the inlay is arranged inside and outside the main body 51, the side surface of the inlay is provided with a plurality of metal convex points 52 and is arranged outside through the main body 51, and the main body 51 is provided with a metal elastic sheet 53, and the metal elastic sheet 53 is flush with the surface of the main body 51 in the initial state; the jig of the utility model comprises a machine table 1, the machine table 1 is provided with a fixed assembly 3 for fixing the workpiece 5; the bottom of the machine table 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting assemblies one 21 and a plurality of lifting assemblies two 22.

[0028] The output end of each lifting assembly one 21 and lifting assembly two 22 is respectively provided with a shaping assembly one 41 and a shaping assembly two 42, the output end of the shaping assembly one 41 and the shaping assembly two 42 passes through the surface of the machine table 1, so that the shaping assembly one 41 and the shaping assembly two 42 are located on the upper end surface of the machine table 1, and the output end of the plurality of shaping assembly one 41 and shaping assembly two 42 is all towards the workpiece 5, and the layout of the plurality of shaping assembly one 41 and shaping assembly two 42 varies according to the shape of the metal terminal.

[0029] In operation, the metal terminal is first fixed on the fixing assembly 3, which can be fixed by clamping or inserting, and then the corresponding shaping assembly 41 is driven by the lifting assembly 21 to move up and down, so that the output end of the shaping assembly 41 corresponds to the position of the metal bump 52. Then the shaping assembly 41 is extended to bend the metal bump 52. It should be noted that a support, such as a reinforcing rib or an insert support, should be provided inside the metal terminal to prevent the surface of the metal terminal from being deformed during the extrusion of the metal bump 52. Of course, the metal bump 52 is relatively soft, and by controlling the output distance of the shaping assembly 41, the metal bump 52 can be easily bent without applying excessive pressure to the surface of the metal terminal.

[0030] In addition, the corresponding shaping assembly 42 is driven by the lifting assembly 22 to move up and down, so that the output end of the shaping assembly 42 corresponds to the position of the metal spring 53. Then the shaping assembly 42 is extended to press the metal spring 53 into the metal terminal. Then the lifting assembly 22 drives the shaping assembly 42 to move longitudinally, so that the output end of the shaping assembly slides along the surface of the metal spring 53 and reaches the connection between the metal spring 53 and the metal terminal. In this process, the bending angle of the metal spring 53 gradually increases, and a crease is formed at the connection to make it unable to recover elastically and complete the bending.

[0031] The surface of the metal terminal has other metal bumps 52 and metal springs 53 at different heights. First, the shaping assembly 41 and the shaping assembly 42 are retracted, and then the corresponding lifting assembly 21 and the lifting assembly 22 drive the shaping assembly 41 and the shaping assembly 42 to move downward to the positions of the other metal bumps 52 and metal springs 53. Then the shaping assembly 41 and the shaping assembly 42 act again. Since the lifting assembly 21 and the lifting assembly 22 are independent of each other, the corresponding shaping assembly 41 and the shaping assembly 42 can be controlled to reach different heights on the surface of the metal terminal, and the movement of the lifting assembly 21 and the lifting assembly 22 can be changed by programming to adapt to different metal terminal processing.

[0032] It should be noted that the above is only an example for illustration, and the operation sequence of the metal bump 52 and the metal spring 53 is not limited. Moreover, not all shaping assemblies 41 and shaping assemblies 42 need to act, and they can act alone or in combination, depending on the position of the metal terminal that needs to be processed. Since they are independent of each other, they can be operated more freely and have a wider range of applications.

[0033] Alternatively, the metal spring 53 and the metal bump 52 are both on the same end surface, and the corresponding shaping assembly needs to process the metal bump 52 and the metal spring 53. The action principle is the same.

[0034] Through the jig, the metal bump 52 and the metal spring 53 on the surface of the metal terminal can be processed for multiple times, compared with the traditional manual operation, the metal bump 52 and the metal spring 53 of different heights can be operated under the cooperation of multiple lifting assemblies, compared with the traditional complicated operation, the working efficiency is greatly improved, and damage to the surface of the metal terminal can be avoided.

[0035] The metal terminal in the utility model is cuboid, so the number of the shaping assembly one 41 and the shaping assembly two 42 is four, which are distributed at 90°.

[0036] Further, the shaping assembly one 41 and the shaping assembly two 42 are the same in structure, comprising a movable seat 43, the movable seat 43 is provided with a sliding rail 44 and a cylinder one 45, the output end of the cylinder one 45 is connected with a sliding seat 46, the sliding seat 46 is slidably connected with the sliding rail 44, a shaping cutter 47 is connected on the sliding seat 46, it should be noted that the shape of the end of the shaping cutter 47 is different according to different functions, for example, the metal spring 53 needs to be inserted into the inside of the metal terminal, so the end of the shaping cutter 47 is provided with a bump compatible with the metal spring 53, and the metal bump 52 is outside the metal terminal, so the shaping cutter 47 has no special requirements.

[0037] Of course, if there is a precision requirement, the cylinder one 45 can be replaced by a servo motor and a screw pair, and the lifting assembly one 21 and the lifting assembly two 22 can also use a cylinder as power.

[0038] In the utility model embodiment, the movable seat 43 is provided with a plurality of guide columns 48, the guide columns 48 penetrate through the guide holes on the machine table 1, so that the shaping assembly moves more stably up and down.

[0039] The shaping cutter 47 and the sliding seat 46 are detachably connected, different models can be replaced according to different products, the application range is wider, in addition, one end of the shaping cutter 47 towards the workpiece 5 is arc-shaped, which can reduce damage to the contacted metal part.

[0040] The utility model relates to one of the embodiments of fixed assembly 3, specifically includes the cylinder no. 2 31 located below the machine table 1 and the fixed seat 32 fixed on the machine table 1, the fixed seat 32 is equipped with the placement site 33, the shape of placement site 33 is adapted to the metal terminal, is equipped with a plurality of clamping blocks 34 in the placement site 33, clamping block 34 and fixed seat 32 swing joint, and a plurality of clamping blocks 34 and fixed seat 32 between respectively be equipped with spring (not shown), the output of cylinder no. 2 31 is equipped with the top block 36, the top block 36 can be placed between a plurality of clamping blocks 34, for a plurality of clamping blocks 34 to be opened, it needs to be explained that the two clamping blocks 34 in the embodiment have, and fixed seat 32 is sliding connection, under the action of spring makes two clamping blocks 34 mutually close, and the empty space 35 for top block 36 to enter is equipped between two clamping blocks 34, and the empty space 35 space is less than the volume of top block 36,

[0041] Work first inserts the metal terminal into the placement site 33, two clamping blocks 34 are in close state at this time, so will not cause the metal terminal to put into the obstruction, and clamping block 34 will also enter the inside of the metal terminal, then cylinder no. 2 31 extends and makes top block 36 enter empty space 35, because empty space 35 space is less than the volume of top block 36, so two clamping blocks 34 will be opened and cooperate the inner wall of placement site 33 to clamp the terminal.
