Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning and straightening technology, specifically to a joint cleaning and straightening device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of transmitter connectors, initially, the connectors are placed on a carrier. The connectors need to be removed from the carrier and placed on a cleaning device for the first round of cleaning. After the first round of cleaning, the connectors are oiled, and then a second cleaning is performed. Because this type of connector has conductive pins, it is necessary to avoid water from touching the pins during cleaning. Furthermore, the pins are not neat before production is completed, and the pins need to be straightened.

[0003] However, in the current production process, the disassembly and transfer of connectors on the carrier and the flow of the production process are often done manually, which results in low production efficiency, complicated procedures, and increased production costs. Furthermore, when manually straightening the pins, it is often impossible to accurately fit the pins into the straightening components, which further reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the joint cleaning and straightening equipment includes a first conveying section 1, a second conveying section 2, a cleaning chamber 10, an oiling mechanism 20, and a disassembly mechanism 30. The cleaning chamber 10 and the oiling mechanism 20 are located on the first conveying section 1, and the disassembly mechanism 30 is located on the second conveying section 2. The joint moves on the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2 via a carrier. When the joint moves to the cleaning chamber 10, the cleaning chamber 10 cleans the joint. Then, the first conveying section 1 conveys the joint to the oiling mechanism 20, and the oiling mechanism 20 oils the joint. It should be noted that the first conveying section 1 here is a common belt conveyor line.

[0071] Furthermore, the connector is transferred to the second conveying section 2. The disassembly mechanism 30 is located on the second conveying section 2. The disassembly mechanism 30 is used to unlock the connector from the carrier. It should be noted that the second conveying section 2 is slightly higher than the first conveying section 1.

[0072] Specifically, the cleaning chamber 10 includes a chamber body 101 and a baffle 102. The chamber body 101 is positioned above the first conveying section 1. The chamber body 101 has openings on both sides of the first conveying section 1 along its conveying direction. The first conveying section 1 passes through the openings into the chamber body 101. The baffle 102 is positioned on both sides of the openings in the chamber body 101 by a driving member. The chamber body 101 contains a cleaning component. The carrier enters the chamber body 101 through the openings on both sides. The baffle 102 is lowered by the driving member to close the openings on both sides, so that the joint is in a closed environment until the cleaning work is completed. Then the baffle 102 is raised, and the carrier flows through the first conveying section 1 to the oil injection mechanism 20.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the oiling mechanism 20 includes a first drive unit 201, a second drive unit 202, and an oil nozzle. The first drive unit 201 is slidably connected to the support frame and is located above the first conveying unit 1. The second drive unit 202 is located at the drive end of the first drive unit 201. The first drive unit 201 can drive the second drive unit 202 to move laterally. The oil nozzle is located at the drive end of the second drive unit 202. The second drive unit 202 can drive the oil nozzle to move vertically. Specifically, when the carrier is below the oiling mechanism 20, the first drive unit 201 first descends through the support frame to a position slightly higher than the connector. The first drive unit 201 drives the second drive unit 202 to move laterally until the oil nozzle is directly above the oiling hole of the connector (when the carrier receives material, the oiling hole is in a vertically upward state). The second drive unit 202 drives the oil nozzle to descend until the oil nozzle is inserted into the oiling hole to achieve oiling.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first conveying section 1 also includes a lifting section and a pushing section. The lifting section is located below the first conveying section 1. When the carrier moves on the first conveying section 1 to the docking point of the second conveying section 2, the lifting mechanism lifts the carrier so that the bottom of the carrier is at the same height as the conveying surface of the second conveying section 2. Next, the pushing section includes a propulsion section 11 and a push block 12. The push block 12 is located at the drive end of the propulsion section 11. The push block 12 can push the carrier to move it from the first conveying section 1 to the second conveying section 2.

[0075] like Figure 5As shown, the disassembly mechanism 30 includes a first disassembly mechanism 301, which includes a third drive unit 3011 and a lifting member 3022. The third drive unit 3011 is mounted above the second conveying unit 2 via a support frame. The lifting member 3022 is located at the drive end of the third drive unit 3011. The lifting member 3022 can lift the component pressed onto the connector through the third drive unit 3011, thereby releasing the connector from the component's fixation. Specifically, the lifting member 3012 is a C-shaped structure with an opening facing the vehicle, and two protrusions are provided on the vertical plates on both sides of the opening. A channel is formed between each pair of protrusions. This channel can be used to hold the component pressed onto the connector. In the standby state, the channel on the lifting member 3012 is at the same height as the component pressed onto the connector. When the vehicle moves to the bottom of the disassembly mechanism 30, the component pressed onto the connector remains in the channel on the lifting member 3012, and then the third drive unit 301 drives the lifting member to rise, thereby unlocking the vehicle.

[0076] Example 2

[0077] The disassembly mechanism 30 in this second embodiment is an improvement based on the above embodiments. The technical content disclosed in the above embodiments will not be described again, and the content disclosed in the above embodiments also belongs to the content disclosed in this second embodiment.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the disassembly mechanism 30 further includes a second disassembly mechanism 302. The second disassembly mechanism 302 includes a fourth driving part 3021 and a gripper mechanism 3022. The fourth driving part 3021 is mounted above the second conveying part 2 via a support frame. The gripper mechanism 3022 is located at the driving end of the fourth driving part 3021. The gripper mechanism 3022 can grip the fixing parts that are stuck on the connector. The fourth driving mechanism 3021 causes the fixing parts to leave the connector, thereby unlocking. In this embodiment, there are two gripper mechanisms 3022, which are used to grip the parts separately from both sides of the carrier.

[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector cleaning and straightening equipment includes a transport module 3, a cleaning module 40, a feeding mechanism 50, a flipping mechanism 60, and a straightening module 70. The transport module 3 picks up the unlocked connector from the second conveying unit 2 and transports it to the cleaning module 40. The cleaning module 40 performs ultrasonic cleaning on the connector and then dries it. During this process, the connector is flipped by the flipping mechanism 60. Since the connector needs to be thoroughly cleaned, the pins need to be protected to prevent the cleaning fluid from detaching them. Then, the dried connector is transferred to the straightening module 70 by the feeding mechanism 50. The straightening module 70 straightens and inspects the pins.

[0080] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the cleaning module 40 includes a lifting mechanism 401 and a cleaning mechanism 402. The lifting mechanism 401 includes a first driving member 4011, a second driving member 4012, and a clamping member 4013. The first driving member 4011 is located on one side of the cleaning mechanism 402, the second driving member 4012 is located at the driving end of the first driving mechanism 4011, and the clamping member 4013 is located at the driving end of the second driving member 4012. The second driving member 4012 can drive the clamping member 4013 to clamp the two sides of the connector moved from the transport module 3. It should be noted that at this time, the pins of the connector are at the top. When the first driving member 4011 descends, it cannot submerge the pins in the cleaning fluid of the cleaning mechanism 402. Therefore, detection mechanisms are provided on both sides of the clamping member 4013. The detection mechanisms are located a distance below the pins. When the cleaning fluid level reaches the detection mechanism, the descent stops. The detection mechanism is a sensor.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 402 includes a first cleaning tank 4021, a second cleaning tank 4022, and a drying chamber 4023. The first cleaning tank 4021 is for ultrasonic cleaning. The second cleaning tank 4022 differs from the first cleaning tank 4021 in that it also has a socket inside, into which pins can be inserted and are isolated from water. Furthermore, the second cleaning tank 4022 can raise and lower the cleaning liquid level by adding and releasing water. When the connector is not placed on the socket, the cleaning liquid level is lower than the socket. When the connector is placed on the socket, the cleaning liquid level will be higher than the socket and submerge the uncleaned surface of the first cleaning tank 4021. The drying chamber 4023 is used to dry the cleaned connector. The drying chamber 4023 is equipped with a heating device and a socket inside. The socket inside the drying chamber 4023 differs from that in the second cleaning tank 4022. While it is fixed, it also has ventilation holes on its surface. The ventilation holes are connected to heated gas to dry the pins inside the connector.

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown, the flipping mechanism 60 includes a third driving member 601, a fourth driving member 602, and a flipping clamping member 603. The fourth driving member 602 is located at the driving end of the third driving member 601. The third driving member 601 can drive the fourth driving member 602 to move in the direction of the first cleaning tank 4021, the second cleaning tank 4022, and the drying chamber 4023. The flipping clamping member 603 is located at the driving end of the fourth driving member 602. The flipping clamping member 603 can clamp the connector and flip it. Specifically, the flipping clamping member 603 clamps the connector on the lifting mechanism 401 that has been cleaned by the first cleaning tank 4021, then flips the connector and moves it to the second cleaning tank 4022, and finally moves it to the drying chamber 4023.

[0083] like Figure 9As shown, the feeding mechanism 50 includes a transverse mechanism 501 and a picking mechanism 502. The picking mechanism 502 is located at the drive end of the transverse mechanism 501. The picking mechanism 502 can pick up the connector. That is, after the connector is dried in the drying chamber 4023, the flipping mechanism 60 takes out the connector and flips it so that the pins face upward. The transverse mechanism 501 drives the picking mechanism 502 to move the connector to the straightening module 70. The picking mechanism 502 is a clamping component, which can be a cylinder gripper, etc., which will not be described in detail.

[0084] like Figure 10 As shown, the correction mechanism 70 includes a fifth driving member 701, a support seat 702, a correction mechanism 703, and a detection mechanism 704. The fifth driving member 701 is located on one side of the flipping mechanism 60, the support seat 702 is located at the driving end of the fifth driving member 701, and the correction mechanism 703 and the detection mechanism 704 are located in the movement direction of the support seat 702. Specifically, the support seat 702 has a groove that matches the connector, and the connector can be locked onto the support seat 702 (at this time, the pins are facing upwards). The fifth driving member 701 drives the support seat 70 to move to the correction mechanism 703. At the location, the straightening mechanism 703 is provided with a conical groove and a through hole. Each conical groove is connected to a through hole. The diameter of the through hole is connected to the end where the diameter of the groove gradually decreases. Each conical groove guides the needle to enter the through hole. The straightening mechanism 703 presses down towards the needle through the driving component, so that each needle corresponds to the through hole. The through hole limits the straightening of the needle. Finally, the fifth driving component 701 drives the carrier 702 to move to the detection mechanism 704. The detection mechanism 704 takes pictures of the needle to determine whether it meets the specifications.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the joint cleaning and straightening equipment also includes a hopper 80 and a third conveyor section 90. The hopper 80 is used to store defective joints, and qualified products are transported away through the third conveyor section 90. Specifically, after the straightening module 70 determines whether a product is good or not, the handling module 3 picks up the joint and places it on the hopper 80 or the third conveyor section 90. It should be noted that the hopper 80 only needs to be able to hold the product and there are no specific restrictions. The third conveyor section 90 is a belt conveyor line.

[0086] The above description is only the preferred embodiment disclosed in this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
