[0069] Please refer to Figure 17The riveting mechanism 1 further includes a first linear drive module 14, which is disposed on the base 11. Multiple riveting modules 13 are disposed on the first linear drive module 14, and the first linear drive module 14 is configured to drive the multiple riveting modules 13 to move. In an embodiment of this application, the first linear drive module 14 is disposed on the top of the first base portion 111. The first linear drive module 14 includes a first drive member 141, a first slide rail 142, and a first slider 143. The first slide rail 142 is disposed on the base 11 and extends along a first direction D1-D1. The first slider 143 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 142. The driving end of the first driving member 141 is connected to the first slider 143. A first fixing seat 144 is provided between the multiple riveting modules 13 and the first slider 143. The multiple riveting modules 13 are disposed on the first slider 143 through the first fixing seat 144. The first driving member 141 drives the multiple riveting modules 13 to move along the first direction D1-D1 to directly below the connecting block 122 through the first slider 143.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 17 as well as Figures 22 to 23The riveting module 13 includes an upper riveting base 132, an upper riveting member 133, a lower riveting base 134, a lower riveting member 135, and an elastic element 136. The lower riveting base 134 is fixedly disposed on the top of the first fixed base 144. The lower riveting base 134 includes a first base 1341 and a second base 1342 vertically disposed on the top of the first base 1341. The lower riveting member 135 is disposed on the first base 1341, and the riveting end of the lower riveting member 135 is disposed upward. The second base 1342 has sliding portions 13421 on both sides in the width direction. The two sliding portions 13421 are arranged opposite to each other and are connected to the second base 1342 to form a receiving groove 103. One end of the elastic element 136 is disposed in the receiving groove 103 through a limiting block 138. At least a portion of the riveting upper base 132 is located in the receiving groove 103 and elastically abuts against the other end of the elastic element 136. The riveting upper base 132 has sliding grooves 104 on both sides in the width direction to cooperate with the sliding portions 13421, so that the riveting upper base 132 can slide within the receiving groove 103. The upper riveting member 133 is disposed at the bottom of the riveting upper base 132 and is located outside the sliding grooves 104. The riveting end of the upper riveting member 133 is disposed facing downward toward the riveting end of the lower riveting member 135. Connecting seat 131 is disposed on top of riveting upper base 132. When connecting block 122 moves to connecting seat 131, connecting block 122 engages with connecting seat 131. At this time, riveting power source 121 applies force to connecting block 122 through lower pressing block 123, causing connecting block 122 to move downward. Under the drive of connecting block 122, connecting seat 131 drives riveting upper base 132 to move downward, and elastic element 136 is stressed to store energy. At this time, upper riveting member 133 and lower riveting member 135 approach each other to rivet terminal block 200 and cable 300. After riveting is completed, elastic element 136 releases elastic force, and elastic element 136 drives riveting upper base 132 to move upward to return to the initial position. In this embodiment, elastic element 136 is a spring.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 22 to 23The top of the connecting seat 131 has a connecting groove 101, and multiple connecting grooves 101 are arranged closely along a straight line. The connecting block 122 slides into the connecting groove 101 and engages with the connecting seat 131.

The two protrusions 1313 are disposed opposite each other, and the connecting block 122 slides into the connecting groove 101 and abuts against the protrusion 1313. Specifically, two second connecting portions 1312 are perpendicular to the first connecting portion 1311 on both sides of the second direction D2-D2, and two protrusions 1313 are perpendicularly disposed at the ends of the second connecting portions 1312 away from the first connecting portion 1311, and the two protrusions 1313 are respectively disposed opposite each other along the second direction D2-D2. The connecting block 122 has a first opening 105 and a second opening 106 opposite each other along the first direction D1-D1. The second opening 106 of one of the adjacent connecting slots 101 communicates with the first opening 105 of the other connecting slot 101, so that the connecting block 122 can move smoothly within the multiple connecting slots 101 without jamming. The top of the connecting block 122 also has a third opening 107, which communicates with the connecting slot 101. The connecting block 122 includes a main body portion 1221 and a snap-fit ​​portion 1222 disposed at the free end of the main body portion 1221. The connection between the snap-fit ​​part 1222 and the main body part 1221 has a slot 102. The outer diameter of the snap-fit ​​part 1222 matches the distance between the two second connecting parts 1312 of the connecting seat 131, allowing the snap-fit ​​part 1222 to slide within the connecting slot 101. When the riveting module 13 moves along the first direction D1-D1, the snap-fit ​​part 1222 of the connecting block 122 enters the connecting slot 101 through the first opening 105 or the second opening 106, and the main body part 1221 of the connecting block 122 extends out of the connecting seat 131 through the third opening 107. At this time, the two protrusions 1313 engage with the slot 102, enabling the connecting seat 131 and the connecting block 122 to engage, thereby improving the accuracy of riveting and increasing the product yield.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 17 to 21 The riveting mechanism 1 also includes at least one crimping module 15, which is movably disposed on the base 11. The crimping module 15 is configured to convey the cable 300 with the terminal block 200 sleeved to the riveting module 13 for riveting.

[0073] Specifically, the crimping module 15 includes a second mounting block 151, a third mounting block 152, a second driving component 161, a pressing block 154, and a guide block 155. The third mounting block 152 is vertically positioned on top of the second mounting block 151. A first cylinder 153 is positioned at the connection between the second mounting block 151 and the third mounting block 152. The guide block 155 is vertically positioned on top of the third mounting block 152. The pressing block 154 is positioned below the guide block 155. The driving end of the first cylinder 153 is connected to the pressing block 154, and the first cylinder 153 drives the pressing block 154 to move up and down, so that the pressing block 154 and the bottom of the guide block 155 are engaged or disengaged to press or release the terminal block 200. The top of the pressing block 154 has a groove, which guides the cable 300, facilitating the connection of the terminal block 200 to the outer periphery of the cable 300. The crimping module 15 also includes a second elastic element 156, one end of which is elastically connected to the second mounting block 151, and the other end of which is elastically connected to the third mounting block 152. When the terminal block 200 is moved between the pressing block 154 and the guide block 155, the first cylinder 153 drives the pressing block 154 to move upward, and the second elastic element 156 is stretched to store energy, so that the pressing block 154 and the guide block 155 fit together to clamp the terminal block 200. The cable 300 is placed on the guide block 155, and the terminal block 200 is fitted around the cable 300. While the crimping module 13 crimps the cable 300 and the terminal block 200, the guide block 155 further cuts the terminal block 200, so that the connection ends of the terminals and the terminal block 200 are separated. After the cable 300 and terminal block 200 are riveted in the riveting module 13, the first cylinder 153 stops, the second elastic element 156 releases its stored energy, and drives the pressing block 154 to move downward, and the pressing block 154 separates from the guide block 155.

This arrangement can improve the efficiency of riveting the cable 300 to the terminal blocks 200 and reduce production costs. Because this application provides multiple conveying modules 31 and multiple riveting modules 13, it can also realize the simultaneous processing of cables 300 of different specifications and models, further improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 7 as well as Figures 12 to 16At least one cutting and clamping module 32 is disposed opposite to multiple riveting modules 13 on the other side of the riveting power module 12 in the second direction D2-D2. At least one cutting and clamping module 32 is disposed close to the base 11. Preferably, multiple conveying modules 31 are fixed to the edge of the base plate 2 by support plates 33, and the multiple conveying modules 31 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1-D1. The height of each conveying module 31 is consistent with the height of the cutting and clamping module 32, so that the terminal block 200 to be cut can be smoothly conveyed to the cutting and clamping module 32 for cutting. The conveying module 31 includes a flow channel plate 311, pressing members 312 disposed at both ends of the flow channel plate 311 in the length direction, and a material transfer assembly 313 that slides the flow channel plate 311. The flow channel plate 311 extends along the second direction D2-D2. The flow channel plate 311 includes a front side 3111 and a back side 3112 arranged opposite each other in the height direction, which is the third direction D3-D3. The first direction D1-D1, the second direction D2-D2, and the third direction D3-D3 are all perpendicular to each other. The flow channel plate 311 extends along the second direction D2-D2. Two pressing members 312 are fixed to opposite ends of the flow channel plate 311 along the second direction D2-D2, and are fixedly connected to the front side 3111 to press down the terminal block 200 with cutting, thereby reducing displacement of the terminal block 200 during transport and ensuring smooth transport of the terminal block 200. The material transfer assembly 313 includes a second cylinder 3131, a third slide rail 3132, a third slider 3133, and a hook 3134. The third slide rail 3132 is disposed on the back side 3112 of the flow channel plate 311, and the third slider 3133 is slidably disposed on the third slide rail 3132. The flow channel plate 311 has a flow channel hole 301, one end of the hook 3134 is connected to the third slider 3133, and the other end of the hook 3134 passes through the flow channel hole 301 and engages with the terminal block 200. The driving end of the second cylinder 3131 is connected to the third slider 3133. The flow channel plate 311 is also provided with third elastic elements 3135 on both sides. One end of the third elastic element 3135 is fixedly connected to the side of the flow channel plate 311, and the other end of the third elastic element 3135 is connected to the third slider 3133. The second cylinder 3131 drives the hook 3134 to move along the second direction D2-D2 by driving the third slider 3133. At this time, the third elastic element 3135 is stretched to store energy. After completing one conveying action, the second cylinder 3131 pauses, and the third elastic element 3135 releases its elastic force, pulling the third slider 3133 to retract and rebound, thereby moving the hook 3134 to its initial position. This process is repeated to continuously move the terminal block 200 towards one side of the cutting and clamping module 32, improving the automation level of the equipment.

The second end of the second connecting rod 3282 is connected to the connecting rod fixing seat 3284 via a pin 3283. When the pressing drive member 327 drives the first connecting rod 3281 to rise, the second end of the second connecting rod 3282 rotates downward according to the lever principle, thus moving the pressing block 324 downward. When the pressing drive member 327 drives the first connecting rod 3281 to fall, the second end of the second connecting rod 3282 rotates upward according to the lever principle, thus moving the pressing block 324 upward.

[0085] The specific working process of the cutting and clamping module 32 is as follows: Under the drive of the first driving member 141, the cutting and clamping module 32 moves to the output end of the conveying module 31 to be cut.

The conveying module 31 conveys the terminal block 200 to be cut along the first direction D1-D1, and the terminal block 200 to be cut passes through the gap between the upper cutting block 323 and the lower cutting block 322. At this time, the driving end of the clamping driving member 327 descends, so as to drive the free end of the second connecting rod 3282 to rise through the first connecting rod 3281. Then the clamping block 324 and the second lower cutting part 3222 of the lower cutting block 322 clamp the terminal block 200 to be cut. The driving end of the cutting drive 325 descends, causing the upper cutting block 323 and the holding block 324 to descend synchronously, so that the terminal block 200 is cut between the upper cutting block 323 and the lower cutting block 322. At the same time, the cut terminal block 200 is clamped by the lower cutting block 322 and the holding block 324.
