[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The specific structure of this embodiment is as follows:
[0022] It includes a facade, a base frame, a translation mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The base frame is equipped with a feeding tray connected to its bearings. The feeding tray is driven by a feeding motor and rotates along its central axis.
[0023] The translation mechanism includes a translation guide rail and a translation cylinder; both the translation guide rail and the translation cylinder are fixed on the base frame, wherein the vertical surface is constrained by the translation guide rail and connected to the actuating end of the translation cylinder.
[0024] The lifting mechanism includes two lifting cylinders, which are respectively installed on both sides of the facade. One lifting cylinder is equipped with an electric gripper at its actuating end, which faces the cable head. The other lifting cylinder is located on the facade side and is equipped with a welding assembly and a linear guide rail. The solder gun and welding torch in the welding assembly are constrained to the linear guide rail by a connector. The lifting cylinder drives the connector to slide along the linear guide rail, with the solder gun and welding torch facing the cable head.
[0025] The welding assembly includes a welding gun b and two sets of solder feeding assemblies; each solder feeding assembly includes a solder spool b, a solder feeder b and a solder gun b; the solder wire extends from the solder spool, passes through the solder feeder, and is output by the solder gun, with the end of one solder gun facing the cable core and the end of the other solder gun facing the cable head vent.
[0026] The welding torch b is installed on the moving end of the lifting structure and is located directly above the cable head in the welding state.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping cylinder, which is mounted on the base frame and used to clamp the cable head.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes an electrode cylinder and a resistance welding machine. The electrode cylinder is installed between the feeding tray and the clamping cylinder. The clamp of the electrode cylinder is a cylindrical metal pin with a forked V-shaped end, used to clamp the cable head. The two poles of the resistance welding machine are connected to the clamp of the electrode cylinder. When the resistance welding machine is powered on, it heats the metal pin and melts the solder.
[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] This embodiment consists of the following utility models: 7-1 (tin reel), 7-2 (tin feeder), 7-3 (tin gun), 7-4 (feeding tray), 7-5 (clamping cylinder), 7-6 (servo motor), 7-7 (cleaning cylinder), 7-8 (electrode cylinder), 7-9 (material handling cylinder), 7-10 (welding gun), and 7-11 (resistance welding machine).
[0031] The clamping cylinder (utility model 7-5) is used to clamp cables. The solder roll (utility model 7-1) is used to hold the solder roll. The solder feeder (utility model 7-2) drives the solder wire into the solder gun (utility model 7-3), thereby completing the solder feeding. The loading tray (utility model 7-4) is a disc-shaped structure used to hold cable ends. The servo motor (utility model 7-6) drives the loading tray (utility model 7-4) to rotate, realizing the sequential loading of cable ends. The picking cylinder (utility model 7-9) consists of four cylinders, two of which are push cylinders to push the clamp to lift, move, and translate to reach the picking point, and the remaining two cylinders... The clamping cylinder can clamp and fix the cable head. The flared opening formed by the closed cylinder makes it easier for the cable to pass through the cable head. The welding gun (utility model 7-10) melts the solder wire, and the melted solder wire welds the cable head welding cup and the cable core together, thereby completing the inner conductor welding. The electrode cylinder (utility model 7-8) closes to clamp the cable head. The resistance welding machine (utility model 7-11) is energized to melt the solder wire, welding the vent hole of the cable head to the tin plating layer of the cable, thereby completing the outer conductor welding. After welding, the cleaning cylinder (utility model 7-7) closes, allowing the alcohol cotton ball to contact the electrode posts at both ends of the electrode cylinder to clean the electrode posts. When welding the outer conductor, the jaws of the electrode cylinder clamp the two sides of the cable end. The resistance welding machine is powered on and heats the area where the cable end is clamped, melting the solder and welding. The jaws of the electrode cylinder are cylindrical metal pins with V-shaped forks at the ends. They are mounted on the cylinder to clamp the cable end. When the resistance welding machine is powered on, it heats the metal pins, which in turn heats the area where the cable end is clamped, melting the solder. The two terminals of the resistance welding machine are connected to the jaws of the electrode cylinder.
[0032] The elevation 7-15 slides along the translation guide rail 1-14 via the translation cylinder 7-13. The translation cylinder 7-13 is mounted on the base frame 7-12, and the elevation cylinder 7-16-1 is mounted on the elevation 7-15. The elevation cylinder 7-16-2 is located on the other side of the elevation. It drives the solder gun 7-3 and the soldering gun 7-10 to move linearly through the connector. The connector is constrained on the vertical rail of the elevation to balance the elevation movement.
