A connector assembly equipment Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector manufacturing technology, specifically a connector assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are electronic components used to connect circuits or devices to enable the transmission of electrical signals, optical signals, or energy. They are widely used in electronics, automotive, and communications fields, simplifying assembly and facilitating maintenance and upgrades. Connector assembly equipment is an important piece of equipment in connector manufacturing.

[0003] Existing connector pin assembly equipment mainly consists of the following parts: feeding system, robot, positioning system, control system, etc. The working principle is that the feeding system delivers the pins and connector body to the designated position, and the robot, under the command of the control system, grabs the pins and accurately inserts them into the corresponding holes of the connector body to complete the pin assembly process.

[0004] The existing connector pin assembly equipment has the following drawbacks: traditional connector pin assembly equipment can only complete the pin assembly process of the connector. The lack of integrated packaging means that the assembled connectors still need to be transferred to other packaging equipment or packaged manually, resulting in poor production continuity. In addition, most packaging equipment cannot seal the connectors with film, which makes the connectors susceptible to moisture and oxidation during storage and transportation. Therefore, a connector assembly equipment is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing connector pin assembly equipment, a new connector assembly equipment is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The connector assembly equipment of this utility model includes a frame, a conveying track for conveying connectors is provided on the frame, a connector housing feeding mechanism is provided at the entrance of the conveying track, and a number of assembly stations for installing connectors are arranged sequentially on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveying track. A packaging mechanism is provided at the exit of the conveying track, and a flipping and conveying mechanism is provided between the exit end of the conveying track and the packaging mechanism to flip the connectors at the exit of the conveying track and grab them to the packaging mechanism.

[0007] The packaging mechanism includes a conveying channel consisting of a base and an upper guide plate. The conveying channel is used to convey packaging box tape and sealing tape, as well as a packaging box tape feeding tray and a sealing tape feeding tray for supplying materials to the conveying channel. The conveying channel is equipped with a drive pin wheel for driving the movement of the packaging box tape through a drive device, and a conveying roller for driving the movement of the sealing tape through a drive device. A guide roller is provided on the feeding side of the conveying roller, and the packaging box tape and the sealing tape move synchronously.

[0008] Preferably, the packaging box strap has holes that mate with the protrusions on the periphery of the drive pinwheel, and the upper guide plate has through holes at the points where the protrusions and holes engage, to prevent the protrusions from contacting the upper guide plate.

[0009] Preferably, the packaging mechanism further includes a thermostatic sealing block located at the top of the conveying channel and driven by a driving device, for sealing the sealing film tape with the packaging box tape.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying channel is provided in two sets, and the packaging box tape feeding tray and the sealing tape feeding tray are also provided in two corresponding sets. The frame is also provided with two sets of receiving trays corresponding to the two sets of conveying channels, and a slide is provided on the frame between the outlet of the conveying channel and the receiving tray.

[0011] Preferably, a monitoring device for counting is provided at the outlet of the conveying channel.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5. The connector assembly equipment of this utility model includes a frame 100, on which a conveying track 1 for conveying connectors is provided. A connector housing feeding mechanism 2 is provided at the entrance of the conveying track 1. The equipment also includes several assembly stations for installing connectors arranged sequentially on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveying track 1. A packaging mechanism 3 is provided at the exit of the conveying track 1. A flipping and conveying mechanism 4 is provided between the exit end of the conveying track 1 and the packaging mechanism 3 to flip the connectors at the exit of the conveying track 1 and grab them to the packaging mechanism 3.

[0025] The packaging mechanism 3 includes a conveying channel 301 composed of a base 303 and an upper guide plate 302. The conveying channel 301 is used to convey packaging box straps 01 and sealing film straps 02, and a packaging box strap feeding tray 304 and a sealing film feeding tray 305 for feeding the conveying channel 301. A driving pinwheel 306 for driving the movement of the packaging box straps 01 is provided in the conveying channel 301 via a driving device, and a conveying roller 307 for driving the movement of the sealing film straps 02 is driven by the driving device. A guide roller 308 is provided on the inlet side of the conveying roller 307. The packaging box straps 01 and 02 move synchronously. The upper guide plate 302 has a hole 011 that mates with the protrusion 3061 on the periphery of the drive pin wheel 306. A through hole 3021 is provided on the upper guide plate 302 at the meshing point of the protrusion 3061 and the hole 011 to prevent the protrusion 3061 from contacting the upper guide plate 302. Two sets of conveying channels 301 are provided. Two sets of packaging box tape feeding trays 304 and sealing tape feeding trays 305 are also provided. Two sets of receiving trays 3010 corresponding to the two sets of conveying channels 301 are also provided on the frame 100. A slide rail 3011 is provided on the frame 100 between the outlet of the conveying channel 301 and the receiving tray 3010.

[0026] The packaging mechanism 3 also includes a hot-press sealing block 309 located at the top of the conveying channel 301 and driven by a drive device, used to seal the sealing film tape 02 and the packaging box tape 01. A monitoring device 5 for counting is installed at the outlet of the conveying channel 301. During operation, after the equipment starts, the connector housing feeding mechanism 2 begins to work, feeding the connector housings one by one and in an orderly manner into the conveying track 1 through a vibrating plate and a linear vibrator. Driven by the drive device, the conveying track 1 runs at a constant speed, sequentially conveying the connector housings to each assembly station. The connectors are assembled at each assembly station (the above-mentioned assembly station settings are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail). When the assembled connector reaches the flipping and conveying mechanism 4 via the conveying track 1, the flipping and conveying mechanism 4 activates, flipping the product and transporting it to the packaging mechanism 3 for packaging. The packaging mechanism 3 adopts a high-efficiency dual-station parallel architecture, completing the packaging of the connector body through precise mechanical coordination and automated control. In the packaging process, during the initial preparation stage, workers need to draw the beginnings of the packaging tape 01 and sealing tape 02 from the packaging tape feed tray 304 and sealing tape feed tray 305 respectively, and pass them over the corresponding tension rollers. Then, the packaging tape 01 is inserted into the entrance of the conveyor channel 301. The sealing tape 02 is first passed around the bottom of the guide roller 308 and conveyor roller 307, and then inserted into the top middle of the conveyor channel 301. This prepares the connector body for the subsequent flipping and handling mechanism 4 to place onto the packaging tape 01. The groove provides working space, and the sealing tape 02 must be placed above the packaging box tape 01 when it is inserted to ensure that the packaging box tape 01 containing the connector body can be sealed later. The position of the packaging box tape 01 is initially consistent with the sealing tape 02. After a certain distance of sealing processing, it will naturally pass out from the outlet of the conveying channel 301 along with the sealing tape 02. After a certain distance of sealing processing, it will be guided by the slide 3011 and fixed on the corresponding receiving tray 3010 to prepare for the receiving process of the packaged finished product.

[0027] Once the connector body has completed all assembly processes on the conveyor track 1, it is gripped by the flipping and conveying mechanism 4. The rotary drive device inside the flipping and conveying mechanism 4 drives the gripping component to flip the connector body 180 degrees, so that the connector body's posture fits the shape of the groove on the packaging box strap 01. Then, it is precisely placed in the groove. The surface of the packaging box strap 01 has several grooves that can accommodate the connector body, which are regularly distributed at a set interval. The flipping and conveying mechanism 4 continues to operate, continuously filling the grooves with the subsequently assembled connector bodies. While the filling operation is in progress, the drive pin wheel 306 and the conveying roller 307 are driven by the servo motor. Under the synergistic effect, synchronous operation is achieved. The protrusion 3061 on the drive pin wheel 306 precisely engages with the hole 011 on the packaging box belt 01, pulling the packaging box belt 01 to move. The conveyor roller 307 synchronously drives the sealing film belt 02 to move by its surface friction, ensuring that the two move synchronously in the conveyor channel 301. As the packaging box belt 01 and the sealing film belt 02 move, the packaging box belt 01 carrying the connector body is gradually moved to the bottom of the hot-press sealing block 309. The driving device of the hot-press sealing block 309 adopts a cylinder, but a hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod can also be selected according to actual needs. When the packaging box belt carrying the connector body is loaded... After the carton tape 01 and sealing film tape 02 reach the designated position, the drive device pushes the hot-press sealing block 309 downward. Simultaneously, the heating element built into the hot-press sealing block 309 raises the temperature to the set value. Under the combined action of pressure and temperature, the sealing film tape 02 and the carton tape 01 are tightly fused together, completing the sealed packaging of the connector body. During the hot-press sealing operation, the flipping and conveying mechanism 4 continuously replenishes new connector bodies into the empty grooves of the rear carton tape 01, ensuring the continuity of the packaging process. After packaging, the product slides through the slide 3011 into the receiving tray 3010 for winding and collection. During the winding process, the conveyor... The monitoring device 5 at the exit of channel 301 simultaneously counts the packaged finished products to facilitate production statistics and management. The monitoring device 5 is a photoelectric sensor, but is not limited to photoelectric sensors. All workstation equipment in this utility model is uniformly controlled by a PLC controller. The control logic of the PLC controller is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. It achieves precise operation and efficient collaboration. The frame 100 is equipped with a human-machine interface. Operators can intuitively set production parameters, monitor equipment operating status, and adjust the working mode of each workstation in real time through the interface, so as to manage the equipment conveniently and quickly and ensure the stability and flexibility of assembly production.
