[0002] The PP-OR001-44 product is used to form a key receiver for an ignition switch socket. This receiver controls the flow of current by inserting and turning the key, thereby controlling the ignition system. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned, current flows through the ignition coil, generating a high-voltage current that ignites the fuel-air mixture, enabling the engine to operate normally. The ignition switch not only controls the ignition circuit but also the alternator magnetic field circuit, starts the engine, and supplies power to the vehicle's electrical systems. It features an automatic steering wheel locking function when the key is removed, provides control identification signals to the electronic control system, and is equipped with a device to prevent repeated starting, avoiding damage to the starter motor and engine flywheel.

[0003] Currently, the production line for this product uses manual feeding, where terminals are placed into the terminal carrier. This method has low production efficiency and is prone to errors such as missing or incorrect placement, which increases the defect rate and affects production efficiency. In addition, the high intensity of manual labor is detrimental to the health of employees. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A terminal assembly device with an automatic feeding structure includes:

[0027] L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory feeder 1, the outlet of the L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory feeder 1 is connected to the feeding area 201, a U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibratory feeder 3 is installed in the feeding area 201, and a terminal carrier 2 is installed in the feeding area 201;

[0028] The robot mounting fixture 7 has pusher cylinders 8 fixedly mounted on both sides. The lower end of the pusher cylinder 8 is connected to a cylinder push rod 801. The cylinder push rod 801 cooperates with the terminal carrier 2 to enter the first injection mold 11 and the second injection mold 12 for injection molding. The front end of the robot mounting fixture 7 is fixedly connected to a pusher clamping plate 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, an L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory feeder 1 and a U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibratory feeder 3 are installed outside the feeding area 201. They can continuously supply materials to the feeding area 201. The L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory feeder 1 and the U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibratory feeder 3 load 5 L-shaped terminal pressing materials 4 and 2 U-shaped terminal supporting materials 5 into the terminal carrier 2 at a certain interval. At the same time, a terminal positioning detection photoelectric sensor 6 is installed in the feeding area 201. After the terminal is detected and loaded, the feeding stops, thus completing the automatic feeding of the equipment and saving a lot of repetitive manual labor.

[0030] In this embodiment, the robot installation fixture 7 is activated in conjunction with the pusher cylinder 8 and the clamping mechanism 901 below, driving the carrier clamping rod 9 to extend into the clamping hole 202 of the terminal carrier 2, thereby clamping the terminal carrier 2. The terminal carrier 2 is then moved above the first injection mold 11 and the second injection mold 12. The pusher cylinder 8 drives the carrier clamping rod 9 and the cylinder pusher rod 801 downward into the first injection mold 11 and the second injection mold 12, aligning with the mold core 15 inside the injection mold. Then, injection molding is started to perform injection molding. By having two injection molds working simultaneously and using fully automated production, the production efficiency of the equipment reaches 12 seconds / PCS, which is a significant improvement compared to the previous generation of equipment.

[0031] Specifically, the terminal carrier 2 has mounting holes, in which L-shaped terminal pressing material 4 supplied by L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory plate 1 and U-shaped terminal support material 5 supplied by U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibratory plate 3 are installed.

[0032] Specifically, the terminal carrier 2 is provided with a clamping hole 202, which cooperates with the clamping mechanism 901 of the robot mounting fixture 7 to move the terminal carrier 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, after injection molding, the OR001-44 finished product 14 is removed from the injection mold by the clamping member 16 connected to the front end of the finished product unloading cylinder 13. In order to prevent the unloading cylinder 13 from detaching from the finished product, a reinforcing member is provided between the unloading cylinder 13 and the pusher clamping plate 10. After the finished product is removed, it enters the subsequent process assembly to form an ignition switch base key receiver.

[0034] Specifically, finished product unloading cylinders 13 are installed on both sides of the front end of the pusher clamp 10.

[0035] Specifically, a terminal positioning detection photoelectric sensor 6 is installed in the feeding area 201.

[0036] Specifically, the pusher cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 17 on both sides of the robot mounting fixture 7.

[0037] Specifically, a second mounting plate 18 is fixedly connected below the first mounting plate 17, and a clamping mechanism 901 is installed above the second mounting plate.

[0038] Specifically, a feeding cylinder 203 is fixedly installed above the feeding area 201, and the output end of the feeding cylinder 203 is respectively aligned with the discharge port of the U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibrator 3 and the L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory plate 1.

[0039] In use, this utility model uses an L-shaped terminal feeding vibratory plate 1 and a U-shaped terminal feeding direct vibratory plate 3 to feed five L-shaped terminal pressing materials 4 and two U-shaped terminal supporting materials 5 into the terminal carrier 2 at certain intervals. After the terminal is fully loaded, the terminal positioning photoelectric sensor 6 detects the terminal and stops feeding. The robot installation fixture 7 is started to work with the pushing cylinder 8 and the clamping mechanism 901 to drive the carrier clamping rod 9 and the cylinder push rod 801 to extend into the clamping hole 202 of the terminal carrier 2 to clamp the terminal carrier 2. Then the terminal carrier 2 is moved above the first injection mold 11 and the second injection mold 12. The pushing cylinder 8 drives the carrier clamping rod 9 to enter the mold core 15 of the first injection mold 11 and the second injection mold 12 for injection molding. After injection molding, the finished product is taken out by the clamping part 16 of the finished product unloading cylinder 13 and enters the subsequent process.

[0040] All other parts of this utility model not described herein are the same as existing technologies, or are known technologies, or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
