Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wire harness production equipment, specifically to an automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires. Background Technology

[0002] Terminal wires are widely used for connecting the printhead of various printers to the motherboard, as well as for signal transmission and board connections in products such as plotters, scanners, copiers, audio equipment, LCD TVs, fax machines, and various DVD players. They are virtually ubiquitous in modern electrical equipment. A terminal wire consists of two conductors and two nickel tabs at the other ends of the conductors. When connecting the terminal wire to a battery, the two nickel tabs need to be soldered to both ends of the battery.

[0003] After two nickel plates are soldered to both ends of the battery, a silicone tube is usually fitted onto the wire at one end to prevent accidental short circuits caused by accidental contact. However, existing methods often involve manually fitting the silicone tube, which is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, leading to inconsistent tube quality.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address this problem, this utility model proposes an automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires. After the terminal wires have undergone a series of processing steps, the terminal wires are clamped and fixed on the turntable clamp. After the turntable is rotated into position, the silicone tube fitting operation is performed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires, which features simple structure, convenient operation, high efficiency, and stable operation.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires includes a positioning line mechanism for fixing the wire at a designated position, a sleeve mechanism for fitting the silicone tube onto the wire in the vertical direction of the positioning line mechanism, the sleeve mechanism including a tube pressing cylinder for driving the tube pressing block to move up and down, the tube pressing block being installed at the output end of the tube pressing cylinder, a tube cutting cylinder for driving the cutter to open or close being provided on the side of the tube pressing cylinder near the positioning line mechanism, and a chuck cylinder for driving the chuck to open or close, a front tube clamp cylinder for driving the front tube clamp to open or close, a rear tube clamp cylinder for driving the rear tube clamp to open or close, and a tube feeding transverse movement cylinder for driving the front and rear tube clamps to move back and forth in sequence on the side away from the positioning line mechanism; the sleeve mechanism also includes a first-section sleeve transverse movement cylinder for driving the rear integral silicone tube to move back and forth and fitting the silicone tube into the wire for a certain length, and a second-section sleeve transverse movement cylinder is provided below the first-section sleeve transverse movement cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning line mechanism includes an upper inner positioning cylinder connected to an upper inner positioning block for driving the upper inner positioning block to move up and down; an upper outer positioning cylinder connected to an upper outer positioning block for driving the upper outer positioning block to move up and down; a lower inner positioning cylinder connected to a lower inner positioning block for driving the lower inner positioning block to move up and down; and a lower outer positioning cylinder connected to a lower outer positioning block for driving the lower outer positioning block to move up and down.

[0008] Furthermore, the pipe-pressing cylinder, pipe-cutting cylinder, chuck cylinder, front pipe-clamping cylinder, rear pipe-clamping cylinder, pipe-feeding lateral movement cylinder, first-stage pipe lateral movement cylinder, and second-stage pipe lateral movement cylinder are all fixedly installed on the base of the pipe-feeding mechanism. The piston rods of the corresponding cylinders are fixedly connected to the corresponding components to drive the corresponding components to perform actions.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper inner positioning cylinder, upper outer positioning cylinder, lower inner positioning cylinder, and lower outer positioning cylinder are respectively fixedly installed on the base of the device by brackets, and the piston rod of each positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning block.

[0010] Furthermore, the sleeve mechanism corresponds to the positioning line mechanism. After the wire is fixed by the positioning line mechanism, the sleeve mechanism can accurately sleeve the silicone tube onto the wire.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper inner positioning block, the lower inner positioning block, the upper outer positioning block, and the lower positioning block are positioned in front of the turntable clamp.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires automates the insertion of silicone tubes into the wires through the cooperation of a positioning mechanism and a fitting mechanism. This significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. The entire fitting process is driven by a cylinder, making it simple and easy to operate. It can also be quickly adjusted and optimized according to actual production needs. The positioning mechanism accurately fixes the wire in the designated position, and the fitting mechanism precisely inserts the silicone tube according to the position of the wire, ensuring the stability of the fitting quality and avoiding errors that may occur in manual operation. The fitting mechanism is suitable for fitting various terminal wires and can meet the production needs of terminal wires of different specifications and lengths, demonstrating wide applicability and practicality.

[0021] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires includes a positioning wire mechanism 1 for fixing the wire in a designated position, and a sleeve mechanism 2 for fitting the silicone tube onto the wire is provided in the vertical direction of the positioning wire mechanism 1.

[0024] The sleeve mechanism 2 includes a pipe-pressing cylinder 201 for driving the pipe-pressing block to move up and down. The pipe-pressing block is installed at the output end of the pipe-pressing cylinder 201. On the side of the pipe-pressing cylinder 201 near the positioning line mechanism 1, a pipe-cutting cylinder 202 for driving the cutter to open or close is provided. On the side away from the positioning line mechanism 1, a chuck cylinder 203 for driving the chuck to open or close, a front pipe-clamping cylinder 204 for driving the front pipe clamp to open or close, a rear pipe-clamping cylinder 205 for driving the rear pipe clamp to open or close, and a pipe-feeding transverse cylinder 206 for driving the front and rear pipe clamps to move back and forth are arranged in sequence.

[0025] The sleeve mechanism 2 also includes a sleeve transverse movement cylinder 207 for driving the overall silicone tube to move back and forth and to insert the silicone tube into a section of the wire. Below the sleeve transverse movement cylinder 207, a second sleeve transverse movement cylinder 208 is also provided.

[0026] The positioning line mechanism 1 includes an upper inner positioning cylinder 101 connected to an upper inner positioning block for driving the upper inner positioning block to move up and down; an upper outer positioning cylinder 102 connected to an upper outer positioning block for driving the upper outer positioning block to move up and down; a lower inner positioning cylinder 103 connected to a lower inner positioning block for driving the lower inner positioning block to move up and down; and a lower outer positioning cylinder 104 connected to a lower outer positioning block for driving the lower outer positioning block to move up and down.

[0027] Pipe-pressing cylinder 201, pipe-cutting cylinder 202, clamp cylinder 203, front pipe-clamping cylinder 204, rear pipe-clamping cylinder 205, pipe-feeding transverse movement cylinder 206, first-stage sleeve transverse movement cylinder 207, and second-stage sleeve transverse movement cylinder 208 are all fixedly installed on the base of the sleeve mechanism 2. The piston rods of the corresponding cylinders are fixedly connected to the corresponding components to drive the corresponding components to perform actions.

[0028] The upper inner positioning cylinder 101, the upper outer positioning cylinder 102, the lower inner positioning cylinder 103, and the lower outer positioning cylinder 104 are respectively fixedly installed on the base of the device by brackets, and the piston rod of each positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning block.

[0029] The sleeve mechanism 2 is positioned corresponding to the positioning line mechanism 1. After the wire is fixed by the positioning line mechanism 1, the sleeve mechanism 2 can accurately put the silicone tube onto the wire.

[0030] The upper inner positioning block, lower inner positioning block, upper outer positioning block, and lower positioning block are set in front of the turntable clamp. The inner positioning block is used to position the first segment of the wire, and the outer positioning block is used to position the second segment of the wire. The positioning action of the inner positioning block is before the positioning action of the outer positioning block to prevent the wire from being too long and the end of the wire that is exposed from the turntable clamp from splitting at too large an angle, which would result in the wire not being able to be pressed into the positioning groove in one go or the positioning effect being poor after being pressed in.

[0031] Specifically, when using the automatic silicone tube fitting mechanism for terminal wires, after the turntable rotates to the correct position, the upper inner positioning cylinder 101 and the lower inner positioning cylinder 103 operate simultaneously to press the end of the wire protruding from the turntable clamp into the positioning groove of the inner positioning block; then the upper outer positioning cylinder 102 and the lower outer positioning cylinder 104 operate simultaneously to press the other end of the wire into the outer positioning groove.

[0032] After the wire is positioned, the first sleeve transverse movement cylinder 207 is activated to insert the silicone tube into the first section of the wire. Then the upper outer positioning cylinder 102 and the lower outer positioning cylinder 104 separate. Next, the second sleeve transverse movement cylinder 208 is activated to insert the silicone tube into the second section of the wire, based on the length of the silicone tube already inserted into the wire.

[0033] Finally, the tube-cutting cylinder 202 is activated to cut the silicone tube, completing the silicone tube fitting process.

[0034] Silicone tube preparation process: First, the tube clamping cylinder 201 presses down on the silicone tube, then the front clamping cylinder 204 and the rear clamping cylinder 205 release the silicone tube.

[0035] Subsequently, the pipe delivery cylinder 206 moves, causing the front pipe clamping cylinder 204 and the rear pipe clamping cylinder 205 to move backward.

[0036] Then, the front clamping cylinder 204 and the rear clamping cylinder 205 clamp the silicone tube.

[0037] The action of the tube feeding transverse cylinder 206 drives the front tube clamping cylinder 204 and the rear tube clamping cylinder 205 to move forward, so that the silicone tube moves one end of the length, in preparation for the next wire sleeve.

[0038] Finally, the clamping cylinder 201 releases the silicone tube, completing the silicone tube preparation process.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
