Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an actuator PIN pin leveling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A pin is a long, thin needle-like structure made of metal or conductive material used to connect electronic components (such as actuators, connectors, etc.). Currently, the market typically uses a leveling mechanism consisting of roller sets, guide wheels, and straightening components to level the pins. This leveling mechanism uses a conveyor to adjust and repair the leveling of the pins of electronic components (such as actuators, connectors, etc.).
[0003] Before leveling, the pins were stored in a roll connected together. Now, the rolled pins are unrolled and directly enter the roller assembly. Before entering, the pins are suspended in the air, which can easily cause instability in the entry state due to gravity, inertia or conveyor belt vibration, thus easily affecting the subsequent leveling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art above, where the PIN pin is suspended before entry, which is prone to instability due to gravity, inertia or conveyor belt vibration, thus easily affecting subsequent leveling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A PIN leveling mechanism for an actuator, characterized in that it comprises: a roller assembly, a straightening component, and an arc plate; the roller assembly is provided with a leveling channel; the straightening component is located downstream of the roller assembly and is used for straightening the PIN; the arc plate is located upstream of the roller assembly, the upper end of the arc plate is at the same height as the bottom of the leveling channel, and the upper end of the arc plate and the top surface of the first roller in the conveying direction support the smooth movement of the PIN.
[0007] Preferably, a base plate is provided on the lower side of the roller assembly, a support seat is provided on the base plate, an mounting plate is fixed on the support seat, and the arc-shaped plate is connected to the mounting plate.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting plate has a mounting groove, the top of the arc-shaped plate has a downwardly extending insert plate, and the width of the mounting groove is adapted to the thickness of the insert plate.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a locking component, the locking component including a locking block fixed in the mounting groove, the locking block having a slot, and a plug rod fixed on the plug plate.
[0010] Preferably, the insert plate has a movable groove (32), and the insert rod is located in the movable groove (32).
[0011] Preferably, the insertion end of the insertion rod is provided with a conical surface.
[0012] Preferably, a movable abutment plate is provided at one end of the mounting groove, a through groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove for the abutment plate to pass through, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate, the sliding rod passes through the abutment plate, a spring is sleeved on the sliding rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the abutment plate and the mounting plate.
[0013] Preferably, the abutting plate has a guide slope, the lower side of the guide slope has a vertical surface, and the insert plate has an arc-shaped surface that contacts the guide slope.
[0014] Preferably, a calibration block is provided at the other end of the mounting slot, and an extension plate extends from one end of the insert plate.
[0015] Preferably, a second calibration block is provided at the upper end of the guide slope, and the distance between the first calibration block and the second calibration block is adapted to the length of the insert plate.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] An arc-shaped plate is set upstream of the roller group. Its upper end is at the same height as the bottom of the leveling channel and together with the top surface of the first roller in the conveying direction, it supports the PIN needle, so that the PIN needle can enter the roller group in a horizontal and stable state, which provides a guarantee for subsequent precise leveling and effectively improves the leveling quality of the PIN needle.
[0018] By setting mounting slots on the mounting plate, the insert plate on top of the curved plate can be directly inserted into the mounting slots, enabling quick installation and removal, and making the operation simple and convenient. This design facilitates rapid replacement when different curved plates with varying curvatures are needed, saving time and labor costs.
[0019] The calibration blocks one and two, located at both ends of the mounting slot, are spaced to match the length of the insert plate. During installation, the two end faces of the insert plate contact the calibration blocks, facilitating quick and accurate insertion into the mounting slot, reducing installation errors, and improving installation efficiency. The guide slope on the abutment plate matches the curved surface of the insert plate, also providing guidance for insertion, further enhancing the convenience and accuracy of installation.
[0020] During the installation and disassembly of the curved plate, the unique structural design makes the insertion rod and locking block less prone to damage, reduces component wear, extends the service life of the insertion rod and locking block, reduces the frequency of equipment maintenance and component replacement, and saves production costs.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 A PIN needle leveling mechanism for an actuator includes: a roller assembly 1, a straightening component 2, and an arc-shaped plate 3. The roller assembly 1 has a leveling channel. The roller assembly 1 is formed by five rollers, with two rollers on the upper side and three rollers on the lower side. The leveling channel between the two upper rollers and the three lower rollers is for the PIN needle to pass through. The straightening component 2 is located downstream of the roller assembly 1 and is used for straightening the PIN needle. A base plate is provided on the lower side of the roller assembly 1, and a support seat 11 is provided on the base plate to support the roller assembly 1. A guide wheel 6 is provided between the roller assembly 1 and the straightening component 2. Both the support seat 11 and the straightening component 2 are provided with adjusting handwheels. This is prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0034] The curved plate 3 is located upstream of the roller group 1. The curved plate 3 is a smooth stainless steel plate. The upper end of the curved plate 3 is at the same height as the bottom of the leveling channel. The upper end of the curved plate 3 and the top surface of the first roller in the conveying direction support the smooth movement of the PIN needle. The upper end of the curved plate 3 and the top surface of the first roller in the conveying direction serve as support points to support the passing PIN needle, allowing the PIN needle to enter the roller group 1 in a horizontal state, which is beneficial for subsequent leveling.
[0035] A mounting plate 4 is fixed on the support base 11, and the arc-shaped plate 3 is connected to the mounting plate 4.
[0036] In one embodiment, the mounting plate 4 has a mounting groove 41, and the top of the arc plate 3 has a downwardly extending insert plate 31. The width of the mounting groove 41 is adapted to the thickness of the insert plate 31. The arc plate 3 can be installed by inserting the insert plate 31 into the mounting groove 41, making disassembly and replacement relatively convenient.
[0037] In another embodiment, a locking component 5 is provided on the mounting plate 4. The locking component 5 includes a locking block 51 fixed in the mounting groove 41. The locking block 51 has a slot 511. A rod 33 is fixed on the insert plate 31. The insert plate 31 has a movable groove 32. The rod 33 is located in the movable groove 32. The insertion end of the rod 33 has a conical surface, which facilitates the insertion of the rod 33 into the slot 511. The length of the mounting groove 41 is greater than the length of the insert plate 31. When the insert plate 31 is inserted into the slot 511, the rod 33 is misaligned with the slot 511. When the insert plate 31 contacts the bottom wall of the mounting groove 41, the arc plate 3 is moved laterally so that the rod 33 is inserted into the slot 511. The arc plate 3 is fixed longitudinally, which increases the stability of the arc plate 3.
[0038] Furthermore, a movable abutment plate 52 is provided at one end of the mounting groove 41, and a through groove 53 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 41 through which the abutment plate 52 passes. The through groove 53 allows the abutment plate 52 to slide. A sliding rod 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The sliding rod 54 passes through the abutment plate 52, and the abutment plate 52 slides on the sliding rod 54. A spring 55 is sleeved on the sliding rod 54. The two ends of the spring 55 are respectively connected to the abutment plate 52 and the mounting plate 4. The spring 55 is used for the abutment plate 52 to abut against the end face of the insert plate 31.
[0039] The abutment plate 52 has a guide slope 521, and the insert plate 31 has an arc-shaped surface that contacts the guide slope 521. The other end of the mounting groove 41 is provided with a calibration block 56, and one end of the insert plate 31 extends into an extension plate 34. The end face of the extension plate 34 contacts the side of the calibration block 56, and the insert plate 31 can be directly inserted downwards.
[0040] The upper end of the guide slope 521 is provided with a second calibration block 57. The distance between the first calibration block 56 and the second calibration block 57 is adapted to the length of the insert plate 31. The first calibration block 56 and the second calibration block 57 calibrate the position of the insert plate 31, making it easy for the insert plate 31 to be inserted.
[0041] In use, the two end faces of the insert plate 31 contact the opposite faces of calibration block 1 56 and calibration block 2 57, respectively. At this time, the insert rod 33 is misaligned with the slot 511 and then moves directly downward. The arc-shaped surface of the insert plate 31 first contacts the guide slope 521, and then the abutment plate 52 moves. The spring 55 is compressed, and the insert plate 31 continues to move downward. When the bottom surface of the insert plate 31 contacts the bottom wall of the mounting groove 41, the extension plate 34 has separated from the calibration block. The vertical slope contacts the end face of the insert plate 31. Under the action of the spring 55, the arc-shaped plate 3 and the insert plate 31 move laterally. During the lateral movement, the insert rod 33 is inserted into the slot 511, while the extension plate 34 contacts the side wall of the mounting groove 41. The spring 55 applies a lateral force to the abutment plate 52. The insertion of the insert rod 33 into the slot 511 makes the arc-shaped plate 3 stable in both the longitudinal and lateral directions. The stability of the arc-shaped plate 3 is conducive to the delivery of the PIN needle. When disassembling the arc-shaped plate 3, first move the arc-shaped plate 3 and insert plate 31 horizontally together. When it can no longer be moved, simply move it upwards. Installation and disassembly are extremely convenient. The smaller the curvature of the arc-shaped plate 3, the more pins it contacts. Arc-shaped plates 3 with different curvatures can be installed as needed to make the pin delivery more stable. During installation and disassembly, the insert rod 33 and locking block 51 will not be damaged, allowing the insert rod 33 and locking block 51 to be used for a long time.
[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
