Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of crimping equipment, and in particular to a crimping device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the crimping of light guide posts to product chassis is generally carried out manually or mechanically. Manual crimping suffers from problems such as insufficient positioning accuracy leading to assembly deviations and lack of buffering mechanisms. Mechanical crimping, on the other hand, is difficult to meet the crimping requirements of chassis of different specifications due to the limited adaptability of the load-bearing mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a crimping device to address the above problems, so as to improve crimping quality and equipment compatibility.
[0004] This application provides a crimping device for crimping light guide posts onto a product chassis, comprising:
[0005] main body;
[0006] A guiding mechanism is disposed on the main body, the guiding mechanism including a moving component, the moving component being capable of reciprocating relative to the main body along a first preset direction;
[0007] A support mechanism is detachably mounted on the moving part and can move together with the moving part. The support mechanism is used to support the product chassis.
[0008] A driving mechanism is disposed on the main body, the driving mechanism including a telescopic member, the telescopic member being able to reciprocate relative to the main body in a second preset direction to move closer to or away from the bearing mechanism; and a pressing mechanism, detachably disposed on the telescopic member, and being able to move together with the telescopic member.
[0009] In the aforementioned crimping device, the precise crimping of the product chassis and light guide post is achieved through the cooperation of the guiding mechanism and the driving mechanism, effectively avoiding product damage caused by positional deviations in traditional crimping methods. Simultaneously, the detachable design of the bearing mechanism and the clamping mechanism allows for the selection of different specifications of bearing mechanism and clamping mechanism according to the specifications of the product chassis and light guide post, making the crimping device adaptable to different specifications of product chassis and light guide posts, significantly improving the device's versatility.
[0010] In one embodiment, the pressing mechanism includes a pressing member and a fixing seat. The fixing seat is detachably disposed on the telescopic member and has multiple mounting positions. The pressing member is detachably disposed on the mounting positions.
[0011] This design allows for flexible adaptation to various sizes and quantities of light guides by replacing different specifications and quantities of crimping parts and adjusting their positions at the mounting points, greatly expanding the applicability of the device. At the same time, the modular installation structure simplifies maintenance and replacement processes, reducing operating costs.
[0012] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes a buffer member disposed at one end of the fixed seat facing the bearing mechanism and capable of extending and retracting relative to the fixed seat in a second preset direction; the maximum distance between the end of the buffer member away from the fixed seat and the fixed seat is greater than the distance between the end of the pressing member away from the fixed seat and the fixed seat.
[0013] With this configuration, the buffer component contacts the product chassis before the pressing component at the initial stage of pressing and can retract relative to the fixed base in a second preset direction, avoiding surface damage to the product caused by rigid collision. At the same time, the stroke margin characteristic of the buffer component ensures that the pressing component only begins to contact the light guide post after the buffer component is compressed, realizing staged pressing and significantly improving the stability of the pressing process.
[0014] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes an elastic element disposed between the fixed base and the buffer member, with both ends of the elastic element abutting against the fixed base and the buffer member, respectively.
[0015] This design allows the elastic element to absorb impact energy through elastic deformation, improving the cushioning effect. Simultaneously, the design of the elastic element ensures that the buffer element maintains contact pressure at all times, preventing displacement deviations caused by vibration.
[0016] In one embodiment, the pressing mechanism further includes a positioning element disposed at one end of the buffer member facing the carrying mechanism, the positioning element being used to cooperate with the product chassis to position the pressing member and the light guide post.
[0017] This design ensures a precise fit between the positioning component and the positioning section of the product chassis, allowing for pre-positioning of the product before crimping. This effectively reduces the alignment time of the crimping components and improves production efficiency. Simultaneously, the positioning structure enhances resistance to misalignment during the crimping process, ensuring the coaxiality of the light guide post and the product chassis.
[0018] In one embodiment, the positioning member is provided with a guide hole corresponding to the mounting position, and the inner diameter of the guide hole gradually increases from the end away from the mounting position to the end closer to the mounting position; the buffer member is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the guide hole.
[0019] This design allows the guide structure to guide the light guide post, ensuring that even with slight positional deviations, the guide surface can guide the light guide post into the correct crimping position, significantly improving the crimping success rate. The clearance holes provide movement space for the crimping component, preventing interference between the buffer component and the crimping component during extension and retraction, ensuring smooth coordinated movement of both.
[0020] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism further includes a driving source disposed on the main body and capable of reciprocating relative to the main body in a second preset direction; the telescopic member is disposed on the driving source, and the driving source is capable of driving the telescopic member to reciprocate relative to the main body in the second preset direction.
[0021] This configuration allows the drive source to not only move the telescopic components together with the main body, but also to independently drive them in precise reciprocating motion. This design achieves synergy between the drive source and the telescopic components, enabling the drive source to adjust the overall position to accommodate different product chassis sizes, while the individual movement of the telescopic components allows for precise crimping operations. This dual-motion mechanism significantly improves the flexibility and adaptability of crimping, while ensuring the stability and precision of the crimping process.
[0022] In one embodiment, the guiding mechanism further includes a guide rail disposed on the main body and extending along a first preset direction, and the moving member is slidably disposed on the guide rail.
[0023] With this configuration, the guide rail provides a stable motion trajectory for the moving parts, ensuring smooth movement of the load-bearing mechanism; the low friction characteristics of the guide rail reduce drive energy consumption and extend the service life of the crimping device.
[0024] In one embodiment, the support mechanism includes a support base and a positioning component. The support base is detachably disposed on the moving part, and the positioning component is disposed on the support base. The positioning component is used to cooperate with the product chassis to position the product chassis.
[0025] This configuration allows for rapid product positioning through the cooperation of the positioning components and the product chassis, ensuring consistent placement during each crimping operation. The detachable support design enables the crimping device to adapt to product chassis of different shapes, further enhancing its versatility.
[0026] In one embodiment, the support base is provided with a clearance position corresponding to the light guide column.
[0027] This configuration provides space for the light guide column in the clearance position, ensuring that the light guide column has room to accommodate it during the crimping process and preventing interference between the carrier and the light guide column during the crimping process.
[0028] In one embodiment, the crimping device further includes a limiting mechanism disposed on the main body, the limiting mechanism being able to abut against the bearing mechanism to limit the position of the bearing mechanism.
[0029] With this configuration, the limiting mechanism precisely controls the movement of the load-bearing mechanism through mechanical limiting, thus avoiding structural damage caused by excessive movement. Attached Figure Description

[0041] In existing technologies, the crimping of light guide posts to product chassis is generally carried out manually or mechanically. Manual crimping suffers from problems such as insufficient positioning accuracy leading to assembly deviations and lack of buffering mechanisms. Mechanical crimping, on the other hand, is difficult to meet the crimping requirements of chassis of different specifications due to the limited adaptability of the load-bearing mechanism.
[0042] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a crimping device to improve crimping quality and equipment compatibility.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the Z-axis direction is defined as the height direction of the main body 6, and the X-axis direction is defined as the width direction of the main body 6.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a crimping device, which includes a main body 6, a guiding mechanism 1, a supporting mechanism 4, a driving mechanism 2, and a pressing mechanism 3. The guiding mechanism 1 is disposed on the main body 6 and includes a moving member 12, which is capable of reciprocating relative to the main body 6 in a first preset direction. The supporting mechanism 4 is detachably disposed on the moving member 12 and can move together with the moving member 12; the supporting mechanism 4 is used to support the product housing 200. The driving mechanism 2 is disposed on the main body 6 and includes a telescopic member 21, which is capable of reciprocating relative to the main body 6 in a second preset direction to move closer to or further away from the supporting mechanism 4. The pressing mechanism 3 is detachably disposed on the telescopic member 21 and can move together with the telescopic member 21.
[0045] In one embodiment, the first preset direction is the width direction of the main body 6, and the second preset direction is the height direction of the main body 6. In other embodiments, the first preset direction and the second preset direction may not be perpendicular.
[0046] The guiding mechanism 1 is mainly responsible for the horizontal movement and precise positioning of the supporting mechanism 4, while the driving mechanism 2 is responsible for the vertical movement and force application of the pressing mechanism 3. During the pressing process, the guiding mechanism 1 first moves the supporting mechanism 4, which carries the product housing 200, to the predetermined pressing position. Then, the driving mechanism 2 drives the pressing mechanism 3 downwards, pressing the light guide column onto the product housing 200. Through the cooperation of the guiding mechanism 1 and the driving mechanism 2, precise pressing of the product housing 200 and the light guide column is achieved, effectively avoiding product damage caused by positional deviations in traditional pressing methods. The detachable design of the supporting mechanism 4 and the pressing mechanism 3 allows for the selection of different specifications of supporting mechanism 4 and pressing mechanism 3 according to the specifications of the product housing 200 and the light guide column, enabling the pressing device to adapt to different specifications of product housing 200 and light guide columns, significantly improving the device's versatility.
[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the guiding mechanism 1 also includes a guide rail 11, which is disposed on the main body 6 and extends along a first preset direction. The moving part 12 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 11. The guide rail 11 provides a stable motion trajectory for the moving part 12, ensuring smooth movement of the bearing mechanism 4. The low friction characteristics of the guide rail 11 reduce driving energy consumption and extend the service life of the crimping device.
[0048] In one embodiment, the guide rail 11 is provided with a dovetail groove or a T-groove, and the guide rail 11 extends along a first preset direction and is fixed to the main body 6. The moving component 12 is a slider corresponding to the dovetail groove or T-groove, which is slidably disposed on the guide rail 11 and can reciprocate relative to the main body 6. The top of the moving component 12 is provided with a mounting surface for detachably connecting the bearing mechanism 4, ensuring that the bearing mechanism 4 moves smoothly along the guide rail 11 with the moving component 12.
[0049] In another embodiment, the bottom of the moving part 12 is provided with a dovetail groove or a T-shaped groove, and a protrusion structure corresponding to the dovetail groove or T-shaped groove is provided on the guide rail 11. The moving part 12 is slidably provided on the guide rail 11 and can reciprocate relative to the main body 6.
[0050] In another embodiment, the guide rail 11 can also be a ball bearing guide. The ball bearing guide achieves low-friction movement of the moving part 12 through the rolling of the balls, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement. This ball bearing guide can be equipped with balls made of wear-resistant materials to extend the service life of the guide rail 11. Although the structure of the ball bearing guide differs from that of a traditional linear guide, it still provides a stable movement trajectory for the moving part 12.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism 2 includes a drive source 22, which is disposed on the main body 6 and can reciprocate relative to the main body 6 in a second preset direction.
[0052] In one embodiment, the drive source 22 is an electric cylinder, including a guide rod 221, a mounting plate 222, an output section 223, and a motor 224. The guide rod 221 extends along a second preset direction, the mounting plate 222 is slidably disposed on the guide rod 221, and the motor 224 is disposed on the mounting plate 222 and can drive the output section 223 to extend and retract along the second preset direction. The telescopic member 21 is connected to the output section 223, and the drive source 22 can drive the telescopic member 21 to reciprocate relative to the main body 6 along the second preset direction. The end of the telescopic member 21 is provided with a mounting interface for detachably connecting to the pressing mechanism 3. In this way, the drive source 22 can not only drive the telescopic member 21 to move together relative to the main body 6, but also independently drive the telescopic member 21 to perform precise reciprocating motion. This design realizes the synergistic effect of the drive source 22 and the telescopic member 21, which can both adjust the overall position of the drive mechanism 2 to adapt to different specifications of product housings 200 through the drive source 22, and achieve precise pressing operations through the independent movement of the telescopic member 21. This dual-motion mechanism significantly improves the flexibility and adaptability of crimping, while ensuring the stability and precision of the crimping process. Furthermore, the independent configuration of the drive source 22 and the telescopic component 21 facilitates maintenance and replacement, reducing equipment maintenance costs.
[0053] In another embodiment, the drive source 22 can also be a pneumatic / hydraulic drive structure. The pneumatic / hydraulic drive structure drives the telescopic member 21 to reciprocate through pressure changes in gas / hydraulic oil, providing a large driving force suitable for the crimping requirements of heavy-duty product housings 200. The pneumatic / hydraulic drive structure can also be equipped with a proportional valve to achieve precise control of the crimping force and speed.
[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the crimping device also includes a limiting mechanism 5, which is disposed on the main body 6 and can abut against the bearing mechanism 4 to limit the position of the bearing mechanism 4.
[0055] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism 5 is a limiting block. The limiting mechanism 5 precisely controls the movement stroke of the bearing mechanism 4 through mechanical limiting to avoid structural damage caused by excessive movement. At the same time, the limiting position can be finely adjusted by adjusting bolts and other structures to meet the crimping depth requirements of different products.
[0056] In another embodiment, the limiting mechanism 5 can also be a photoelectric sensor-type limiter. The photoelectric sensor-type limiter precisely controls the movement stroke of the bearing mechanism 4 through photoelectric sensing technology, and its sensitivity can be adjusted according to different pressing requirements, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the product chassis 200 is provided with a first positioning part 201 and a second positioning part 202.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the supporting mechanism 4 includes a support base 41 and a positioning component 42. The support base 41 is detachably mounted on the moving part 12; the positioning component 42 is a positioning block disposed on the support base 41, used to cooperate with the second positioning part 202 of the product housing 200 to position the product housing 200, the second positioning part 202 being a positioning groove. The cooperation between the positioning component 42 and the product housing 200 enables rapid positioning of the product, ensuring consistent positioning for each pressing. The detachable support base 41 design allows the pressing device to adapt to product housings 200 of different shapes, further improving the versatility of the device.
[0059] In another embodiment, the positioning component 42 may also employ an adjustable positioning block. The adjustable positioning block achieves rapid position adjustment through threaded connection or snap-fit structure, and can adapt to positioning slots of different positions and sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.
[0060] In another embodiment, the positioning component 42 can also be a limiting groove or a magnetic structure, which cooperates with the second positioning part 202 of the product housing 200 to position the product housing 200. The second positioning part 202 can be a positioning protrusion or a magnetic part. The cooperation between the positioning component 42 and the product housing 200 enables the rapid positioning and fixing of the product housing 200, avoiding displacement during pressing.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support base 41 is further provided with a clearance position 411 corresponding to the light guide post. The position and shape of the clearance position 411 match the bottom structure of the light guide post, ensuring that the light guide post is not interfered with by the support base 41 during the crimping process.
[0062] In another embodiment, the clearance position 411 can also be designed to be adjustable. The adjustable clearance position is achieved through a movable baffle or a removable partition, allowing for rapid adjustment according to the size and shape of the light guide post, thus improving the adaptability and crimping accuracy of the crimping device. The adjustable design of the clearance position 411 enhances the modularity of the support mechanism 4, enabling the support base 41 to be quickly assembled and adjusted according to different specifications of the product chassis 200, further improving the versatility and flexibility of the crimping device.
[0063] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a crimping member 31 and a fixing seat 32. The fixing seat 32 is detachably mounted on the telescopic member 21 and has multiple mounting positions 321, which are threaded holes or T-slots. The crimping member 31 is detachably mounted on the mounting position 321, and the number of crimping members 31 is less than or equal to the number of mounting positions 321. The crimping end shape of the crimping member 31 matches the top of the light guide post and can be a flat head, a conical head, or a stepped structure. Replacing the crimping member 31 allows for the adaptation of light guide posts with different diameters. By replacing different specifications and quantities of crimping members 31 and adjusting their positions on the mounting positions 321, various sizes and quantities of light guide posts can be flexibly adapted, greatly expanding the applicability of the device. At the same time, the modular installation structure simplifies the maintenance and replacement process of the crimping device and reduces the operating cost.
[0064] In another embodiment, the fixed base 32 and the telescopic member 21 can be connected by a magnetic connector. The magnetic connector has a strong attraction force, which ensures the structural stability during crimping and also supports the quick replacement of the entire pressing mechanism 3.
[0065] In another embodiment, the crimping member 31 and the fixing base 32 can adopt a snap-on quick-release design with an elastic limiting structure to prevent loosening during crimping.
[0066] In another embodiment, the crimping member 31 can be designed at multiple angles. A multi-angle crimping member 31 can adapt to the installation requirements of light guide posts at different angles, ensuring the stability and reliability of the crimping. This multi-angle design can be achieved by fine-tuning the structure of the existing crimping member 31 without requiring large-scale modifications to the entire clamping mechanism 3.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the pressing mechanism 3 further includes a buffer 33. The buffer 33 is disposed at the end of the fixed base 32 facing the bearing mechanism 4 and can extend and retract relative to the fixed base 32 in a second preset direction. The maximum distance between the end of the buffer 33 away from the fixed base 32 and the fixed base 32 is greater than the corresponding distance of the pressing member 31, ensuring that the buffer 33 contacts the product housing 200 first during the initial pressing and can retract relative to the fixed base 32 in the second preset direction, avoiding product surface damage caused by rigid collision. At the same time, the stroke margin characteristic of the buffer 33 ensures that the pressing member 31 only begins to contact the light guide post after the buffer 33 is compressed, realizing staged pressing and significantly improving the stability of the pressing process.
[0068] In another embodiment, the buffer 33 can also be a spring telescopic rod or an elastic rubber block. The buffer 33 absorbs impact energy through elastic deformation, avoiding scratches on the product surface caused by rigid collisions.
[0069] In another embodiment, the buffer 33 can also be an air-bag type buffer structure. The air-bag type buffer structure achieves its buffering function through the compression and expansion of internal gas, providing a stable buffering effect under different pressing forces. Furthermore, the air-bag type buffer structure can be inflated or deflated according to actual pressing requirements, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the buffer 33. This air-bag type buffer structure can be combined with existing pressing mechanism 3 designs, achieving further optimization of the pressing process through simple installation and adjustment.
[0070] In another embodiment, the buffer 33 can also be a pneumatic-hydraulic buffer, filled with damping fluid and compressed air. The buffering force can be steplessly adjusted by regulating the air valve to adapt to the crimping requirements from thin-walled plastic chassis to metal chassis. By adjusting the buffer stroke of the pneumatic-hydraulic buffer, the crimping impact speed can be precisely controlled to effectively protect the surface of high-precision products.
[0071] In another embodiment, the buffer 33 can also be a spring-rubber composite structure, with a cylindrical compression spring inside and a silicone buffer layer on the outside. It can provide stable buffering force through the spring and increase the contact friction with the product housing 200 by utilizing the silicone layer to prevent the product from sliding during pressing.
[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the buffer 33 is provided with a clearance hole 34 corresponding to the mounting position 321. The diameter of the clearance hole 34 is larger than the outer diameter of the crimping member 31. The clearance hole 34 provides movement space for the crimping member 31, avoiding interference between the buffer 33 and the crimping member 31 during extension and retraction, and ensuring that the two can move smoothly together. When the buffer 33 will not interfere with the light guide post located at the mounting position 321, the clearance hole 34 may not be provided.
[0073] In another embodiment, an elastic sealing ring can be provided between the clearance hole 34 and the pressing member 31 to prevent dust or debris from entering the pressing mechanism 3 during the pressing process.
[0074] In another embodiment, the clearance hole 34 can be a waist-shaped groove structure, allowing the crimping member 31 to have fine-tuning space in the horizontal direction to compensate for positioning errors.
[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes an elastic element 35. The elastic element 35 is disposed between the fixed base 32 and the buffer element 33, with both ends of the elastic element 35 abutting against the fixed base 32 and the buffer element 33, respectively. The elastic element 35 absorbs impact energy through elastic deformation, improving the buffering effect. At the same time, the design of the elastic element 35 ensures that the buffer element 33 always maintains contact pressure, avoiding displacement deviation caused by vibration.
[0076] The elastic element 35 can be a compression spring or an elastic washer, providing adjustable cushioning force. By replacing the elastic element 35 with different elastic coefficients, it can be adapted to products with different compression force requirements, ensuring the stability of the cushioning effect.
[0077] In another embodiment, the elastic element 35 can also be a disc spring. Compared with traditional cylindrical springs, disc springs have smaller axial dimensions and stronger load-bearing capacity, and can provide greater buffering force in a limited space, making them suitable for compact crimping devices.
[0078] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes a positioning member 36, which is disposed at the end of the buffer member 33 facing the bearing mechanism 4. The positioning member 36 cooperates with the first positioning part 201 of the product chassis 200 to position the product chassis 200. The specific design and cooperation form of the positioning member 36 and the first positioning part 201 of the product chassis 200 are similar to the specific design and cooperation form of the positioning component 42 and the second positioning part 202 described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0079] In one embodiment, the positioning element 36 is a positioning block. The positioning element 36 has guide holes 361 corresponding to the mounting position 321 and the clearance hole 34. The inner diameter of the guide holes 361 gradually increases from the end away from the mounting position 321 to the end closer to it, forming a flared structure. The crimping element 31 installed at the mounting position 321 can pass through the corresponding clearance hole 34 and guide hole 361 in sequence. The flared structure can protect and center the crimping element 31. Even if there is a positional deviation in the product chassis 200, the light guide column can still be guided into the correct crimping position through the guide holes 361.
[0080] In another embodiment, the guide hole 361 is a hole of equal diameter, and the inner diameter of the guide hole 361 is tolerance-matched with the outer diameter of the light guide post, which has an automatic centering function for the light guide post.
[0081] In another embodiment, the positioning member 36 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the mounting position 321, and the clamping mechanism 3 also includes a guide sleeve detachably disposed in the through hole. The guide sleeve is provided with a guide hole 361. The guide sleeve adopts a split design and can be replaced with a guide sleeve with a guide hole 361 of different diameters according to the diameter of the light guide post.
[0082] In another embodiment, the guide hole 361 can adopt a multi-stage stepped design. The multi-stage stepped guide hole gradually guides and positions the light guide post through steps of different diameters, further improving the accuracy and stability of the crimping.
[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0084] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application.
