Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable connector processing and conveying technology, and more specifically, to a connector conveying device for data cable production. Background Technology

[0002] Under current conditions, data cables remain the primary charging tool for electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and digital cameras. Data cables typically have two ends: one for connecting to the charger and the other for connecting to the electronic device. During the manufacturing process, connectors are attached to both ends. These connectors, which are of different sizes, are placed simultaneously on a conveyor belt for assembly line workers to use. To ensure a sufficient supply of raw materials, a large number of connectors are placed on the conveyor. After processing, any excess connectors flow to the next process and are subsequently stored separately.

[0003] A search revealed that application number CN202122721843.9 discloses a connector conveying device for data cable production, including a conveyor and a connector sorting device located below the end of the conveyor. The sorting device includes a sorting table, a lever, a first conveying channel, and a second conveying channel. The sorting table is fixed to the object to be fixed. Multiple levers are rotatably connected to the sorting table in the middle and connected to a rotation drive source at the bottom of the sorting table. The sorting table has a first sorting area and a second sorting area. The first conveying channel is fixedly connected to the sorting table at the bottom of the first sorting area, and the second conveying channel is fixedly connected to the sorting table at the bottom of the second sorting area. The first sorting area has a first sieve hole evenly arranged, and the second sorting area has multiple second sieve holes evenly arranged. The size of the first sieve hole is smaller than that of the second sieve hole. The lever rotates clockwise. This effectively solves the problem of low efficiency in manual sorting in the prior art.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can transport and classify connectors of different sizes at both ends of a data cable, when a large number of small connectors accumulate and are quickly moved away from the small sieve holes, the small connectors will fall into the large sieve holes and thus pass through the large sieve holes. Therefore, it is impossible to thoroughly classify all connectors of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that current connector conveying devices used in data cable production cannot thoroughly classify connectors of different sizes.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A connector conveying device for data cable production includes a frame and a conveying mechanism disposed inside the frame, and further includes:

[0008] The discharge mechanism includes first support blocks symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end of the frame, a rotating shaft rotatably arranged between the two first support blocks, a discharge plate fixed outside the rotating shaft, and a torsion spring sleeved on the rod wall between the discharge plate and the first support blocks. The top of the discharge plate has an inclined sliding surface, the bottom of the frame is provided with a support plate, and the top of the support plate is provided with two collection frames, one of which is located directly below the discharge plate and the other is located diagonally below the discharge plate.

[0009] The feeding mechanism includes a material dropping component disposed on the top of the frame and a material feeding component disposed on the top of the frame.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the material feeding assembly includes a hopper disposed on the top of the frame and a sliding frame disposed on the side wall of the hopper, wherein the bottom wall of the sliding frame is provided with an inclined sliding surface.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the feeding assembly includes a second support block set on the top of the frame, a first motor set on the side wall of the second support block, a rotating rod set on the output end of the first motor, and a number of actuating plates equidistantly set in the middle of the rotating rod wall.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the conveying mechanism includes a plurality of conveying rollers rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the frame, a conveyor belt driven between the plurality of conveying rollers, and a second motor disposed on the outer wall of the frame, wherein the output shaft of the second motor passes through the frame and is connected to the end of a conveying roller.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top of the frame is further provided with a limiting component, which includes a third support block symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the frame, a screw threaded on the side wall of the third support block, and a limiting plate rotatably arranged at the screw screw's screw-in end inside the frame.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom of the limiting plate is provided with a plurality of rollers, which are in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting rod is provided on the end side wall of the frame, and a stop is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the frame, and the stop abuts against the top of the discharge plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. The manufactured connectors of different sizes are conveyed by a conveying mechanism. When the connectors are conveyed to the end of the conveying mechanism, the connectors are conveyed to the discharge plate and slide out through the set discharge component. When the small connectors slide out of the slide plate, the slide plate will be in a horizontal state and the small connectors will slide into the collection box diagonally below the discharge plate. When the large connectors are conveyed to the discharge plate, due to their greater weight, they will press the discharge plate downwards at a certain angle, so the large connectors will slide into the collection box directly below the discharge plate. This can separate the data cable connectors of different sizes and solve the problem that the connectors of different sizes cannot be completely classified in the existing technology.

[0018] 2. The feeding component can deliver connectors of different sizes onto the conveying mechanism. At the same time, the feeding component can sequentially move the connectors from the feeding component onto the conveying mechanism, thereby achieving intermittent feeding and preventing a large number of connectors from falling onto the conveying mechanism at the same time, which would affect subsequent sorting. In addition, the limiting component can block and limit the connectors on the conveying mechanism, preventing them from sliding, rolling, or slipping off the conveying mechanism, thus improving the stability of connector conveying.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a connector conveying device for data cable production, including a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism 2 disposed inside the frame 1, as well as a discharge mechanism 3 and a feeding mechanism. The discharge mechanism 3 is disposed at the front end of the frame 1 and is used to classify and collect connectors of different sizes on the conveying mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism includes a dropping component 4 disposed at the top of the frame 1 and a feeding component 5 disposed at the top of the frame 1.

[0027] First, the produced large and small data cable connectors are placed into the feeding component 4. Then, the connectors are intermittently fed into the conveying mechanism 2 by the feeding component 5. After being transported by the conveying mechanism 2, when the connectors are transported to the end of the frame 1, the discharge mechanism 3 can classify and collect connectors of different sizes according to their weight. This eliminates the need for manual classification and can completely separate a large number of connectors, avoiding classification errors.

[0028] The conveying mechanism 2 includes several conveying rollers rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the frame 1, a conveyor belt 201 driven between the several conveying rollers, and a second motor 202 mounted on the outer wall of the frame 1. The output shaft of the second motor 202 passes through the frame 1 and is connected to the end of a conveying roller. When the second motor 202 is started, it drives a conveying roller on the inner side of the frame 1 to rotate. This conveying roller, together with the other conveying rollers, drives the conveyor belt 201 to drive, thereby enabling the conveying of the joint.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the discharge mechanism 3 further includes first support blocks 301 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end of the frame 1, a rotating shaft 302 rotatably arranged between the two first support blocks 301, a discharge plate 303 fixed outside the rotating shaft 302, and a torsion spring 304 sleeved on the rod wall of the rotating shaft 302 located between the discharge plate 303 and the first support blocks 301. The top of the discharge plate 303 has an inclined sliding surface, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a support plate 101, and the top of the support plate 101 is provided with two collection frames 102. One collection frame 102 is located directly below the discharge plate 303, and the other collection frame 102 is located diagonally below the discharge plate 303.

[0030] When the connector is conveyed to the end of the frame 1, it falls onto the discharge plate 303 and continues to slide down the inclined surface of the discharge plate 303. As needed, a torsion spring 304 with appropriate torque is pre-set so that small-sized connectors cannot squeeze the discharge plate 303 to flip, while large-sized connectors have enough weight to squeeze the discharge plate 303 to flip. Therefore, when small-sized connectors slide on the discharge plate 303, the discharge plate 303 will be in a horizontal state, allowing small-sized connectors to slide into the collection frame 102 diagonally below the discharge plate 303. When large-sized connectors are conveyed onto the discharge plate 303, their greater weight will squeeze the discharge plate 303 to flip downwards, causing large-sized connectors to slide into the collection frame 102 directly below the bottom of the discharge plate 303. This completes the automatic classification and collection of connectors of different sizes, saving time and manpower, and enabling thorough classification of a large number of connectors.

[0031] In addition, a connecting rod 7 is provided on the end side wall of the frame 1. A stop block 701 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the frame 1. The stop block 701 abuts against the top of the discharge plate 303. When the large-sized connector slides and presses the discharge plate 303 downward, the discharge plate 303 will drive the rotating shaft 302 and the torsion spring 304 to rotate. When the large-sized connector slides down, the torsion spring 304 will drive the rotating shaft 302 and the discharge plate 303 to flip back to their original position. At this time, the stop block 701 can block the discharge plate 303 that has been reset to a horizontal state, preventing the discharge plate 303 from continuing to bounce up under the action of the spring force, so that the discharge plate 303 can be quickly kept still, avoiding the impact of the bouncing discharge plate 303 on the subsequent connector classification.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the material feeding assembly 4 further includes a hopper 401 disposed on the top of the frame 1 and a sliding frame 402 disposed on the side wall of the hopper 401, with an inclined sliding surface provided on the inner bottom wall of the sliding frame 402.

[0033] The feeding assembly 5 includes a second support block 501 set on the top of the frame 1, a first motor 502 set on the side wall of the second support block 501, a rotating rod 503 set on the output end of the first motor 502, and a number of actuating plates 504 equidistantly set in the middle of the rod wall of the rotating rod 503.

[0034] First, a large number of data cable connectors of different sizes are put into the hopper 401. The connectors will slide down the slide frame 402. Because the slide frame 402 is narrow, only one connector can pass through at a time. Therefore, the connectors will be arranged in sequence inside the slide frame 402. The connector at the very end of the slide frame 402 will fall between two adjacent actuating plates 504. Then, the first motor 502 is started, which drives the rotating rod 503 to rotate intermittently. Each time the rotating rod 503 rotates, it will push the connector inside the slide frame 402 onto the conveyor belt 201 through the two adjacent actuating plates 504. The other two actuating plates 504 will then rotate to the end of the slide frame 402, so that the last connector inside the slide frame 402 falls back between the two actuating plates 504. In this way, the connectors can be pushed onto the conveyor belt 201 in sequence, so that the connectors are transported intermittently, which facilitates the sequential classification and collection of the connectors.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the top of the frame 1 is further provided with a limiting component 6. The limiting component 6 includes a third support block 601 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the frame 1, a screw 602 threaded on the side wall of the third support block 601, and a limiting plate 603 rotatably arranged at the screw 602 located at the screw end inside the frame 1. A plurality of rollers 604 are rotatably arranged at the bottom of the limiting plate 603, and the rollers 604 are in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 201.

[0036] When conveying the joint, the screw 602 can be rotated to move the limiting plate 603 toward the middle of the conveyor belt 201. The two limiting plates 603 can block and limit the conveyed joint to prevent it from slipping off the conveyor belt 201 due to shaking and displacement. Moreover, the roller 604 at the bottom of the limiting plate 603 can roll in place on the conveyor belt 201, reducing the friction between the limiting plate 603 and the conveyor belt 201 and avoiding direct friction between the bottom of the limiting plate 603 and the conveyor belt 201, which would affect the normal operation of the conveyor belt 201.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, a large number of data cable connectors of different sizes are put into the hopper 401. The connectors will slide down the slide frame 402, so the connectors will be arranged in sequence inside the slide frame 402. The connector at the very end of the slide frame 402 will fall between two adjacent actuating plates 504. Then, the first motor 502 is started to work, driving the rotating rod 503 to rotate intermittently. Each time the rotating rod 503 rotates, it will push the connector on its inner side onto the conveyor belt 201 through the two adjacent actuating plates 504. The other two actuating plates 504 will then rotate to the end of the slide frame 402, so that the last connector inside the slide frame 402 falls between the two actuating plates 504 again. Therefore, the connectors can be pushed onto the conveyor belt 201 in sequence, so that the connectors are intermittently conveyed. When the connector is conveyed to the end of the frame 1, it falls onto the discharge plate 303 and continues to slide down. When a small connector slides on the discharge plate 303, the discharge plate 303 will be in a horizontal state, causing the small connector to slide into the collection frame 102 diagonally below the discharge plate 303. When a large connector is conveyed onto the discharge plate 303, its greater weight will cause the discharge plate 303 to flip downwards, causing the large connector to slide into the collection frame 102 directly below the bottom of the discharge plate 303. This completes the automatic classification and collection of connectors of different sizes, eliminating the need for manual classification, saving time and manpower, and enabling thorough classification of a large number of connectors, avoiding classification errors.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
