Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector processing technology, specifically a connector material transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] A connector, also known as an electronic connector or electrical connector, is a device that bridges two conductors or subsystems through a separable interface, enabling stable transmission of current or signals between different circuits or devices. Its core function is to act as a "bridge" in electronic systems, solving problems of circuit blockage or isolation.

[0003] A terminal block connector is a device specifically used for wiring in electrical processes. It is mainly used to achieve electrical connections. It bridges the gaps in a circuit or between isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and thus realizing the intended function of the circuit.

[0004] Existing terminal connectors require a crimping process during automated production. Before crimping, the materials need to be transferred in an assembly line manner. Traditionally, conveyor belts are used for material transfer in terminal connector production. However, conveyor belts have low accuracy over short distances, and there may be some positional deviation when the materials are transported to the crimping station, affecting the crimping quality and accuracy, thus reducing the production quality of the connector products. Therefore, this utility model proposes a connector material transfer device for short-distance and accurate material transfer. Utility Model Content

[0013] This utility model discloses a connector material transfer device.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a connector transfer device, comprising an operating table 1, a top material platform 2 fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the operating table 1, a fixed bracket 3 fixedly installed on the top of the top material platform 2, and a transfer guide rail 4 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed bracket 3. The fixed bracket 3 is used to fix the transfer guide rail 4, improve its stability, and raise the height of the transfer guide rail 4.

[0024] The transfer guide rail 4 has a limiting groove 5 inside, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 2As shown, the limiting groove 5 is used for sliding limiting and guiding the placement of the terminal connector. In actual use, the external conveying device or robot will slide the terminal connector from the side of the transfer guide 4 into the inside of the limiting groove 5. In this way, the limiting groove 5 can limit the transfer posture of the terminal connector, so that it can maintain the posture before crimping and perform the transfer work.

[0025] In order to transfer the terminal connector, a guide groove 6 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the transfer guide 4. Two symmetrically distributed bearing seats 7 are fixedly installed below the transfer guide 4. A ball screw 8 is rotatably connected between the two bearing seats 7. One end of the ball screw 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor (not shown in the attached diagram of the servo motor manual). A slide 9 is threaded onto the ball screw 8.

[0026] With this structural design, the servo motor can drive the ball screw 8 through its output shaft to perform automated forward and reverse rotation. When the ball screw 8 is rotating forward and backward, the slide 9 connected to it by the thread can move linearly left and right along the ball screw 8. In this way, the left and right movement of the slide 9 can provide certain displacement conditions for the material transfer of the terminal connector.

[0027] A vertical plate 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slide block 9. Cylinder seats 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the vertical plate 11. A first-stage cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the cylinder seat 12. A material transfer block 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the output rod of the first-stage cylinder 13.

[0028] Based on the above structure, when a specified number of terminal connectors are placed inside the limiting groove 5 of the transfer guide rail 4 and between the two transfer blocks 14, the output rods of the two first-stage cylinders 13 can be driven to extend. When the output rods of the first-stage cylinders 13 extend, they will simultaneously drive the top transfer block 14 to rise. In this way, the rising between the two transfer blocks 14 can be placed at both ends of several terminal connectors and lift and block the terminal connectors.

[0029] At this time, the servo motor can rotate forward. When the servo motor rotates forward, it will drive the ball screw 8 synchronously through the output shaft. When the ball screw 8 rotates forward, the slide 9 connected to it can move from right to left along the ball screw 8. The displacement of the slide 9 can synchronously drive the vertical plate 11 and the transfer block 14 on it to move. The movement of the transfer block 14 can drive the terminal connector between the two transfer blocks 14 to move from right to left, thus completing the short-distance high-precision transfer of the terminal connector.

[0030] When the terminal connector between the two transfer blocks 14 moves to the leftmost end of the ball screw 8, the first-stage cylinder 13 drives the two transfer blocks 14 to retract through the output rod. At this time, the transfer blocks 14 retract downward from the limit slide 5, and the transfer blocks 14 no longer obstruct the transfer of several terminal connectors in the first group.

[0031] The slide block 9 and the transfer block 14 are reversed and reset under the action of the servo motor and the ball screw 8. At this time, the slide block 9 and the transfer block 14 move and reset from left to right. After the movement and reset, the transfer block 14 can extend upward under the action of the first-stage cylinder 13, so as to lift and block several terminal connectors of the second group. The transfer of the terminal connectors of the second group can be completed in the above way.

[0032] When the transfer block 14 transfers the second group of terminal connectors, it can abut against the first group of terminal connectors, thereby moving the first group of terminal connectors to the left a certain distance. Through the mutual abutment displacement of several groups of terminal connectors, the automated transfer of terminal connectors can be completed.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to limit the linear displacement of the slide block 9, a primary guide rail 10 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the slide block 9 via a slider, and the primary guide rail 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the operating table 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to push the terminal material at one end of the transfer guide rail 4 into the space between the two transfer blocks 14, a top material cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the top material platform 2, and a secondary guide rail 16 is fixedly installed at the front end of the top material cylinder 15 and on the upper surface of the top material platform 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper limit sliding connection of the secondary guide rail 16 is the top material slider 17, and the top material rod 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the top material slider 17. In order to drive the top material slider 17 to slide back and forth on the secondary guide rail 16, the output rod of the top material cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the top material slider 17.

[0036] With this structural design, when the terminal connector is slidably fed into one end of the limiting groove 5 of the transfer guide rail 4 by an external conveying mechanism or robot, the output rod can be driven to extend by the set top cylinder 15. The extended output rod can drive the top slider 17 to move towards one end of the transfer guide rail 4. The movement of the top slider 17 can synchronously drive the top rod 18 to move, so that the top rod 18 can push the terminal connector at the end of the transfer guide rail 4 into the space between the two transfer blocks 14, completing the initial top feeding work before the terminal connector is transferred.

[0037] In actual use, the distance that the ejector cylinder 15 drives its output rod to extend gradually decreases each time. The decreasing distance is the length of the terminal connector. In this way, the decreasing distance can be used as a distance position compensation when ejecting several terminals, thereby preventing the ejector rod 18 from ejecting the first inserted terminal.

[0038] After the specified number of reductions is reached, the output rod extends to its maximum distance again under the action of the top material cylinder 15, and enters the second set of terminal top material steps. The specified number of reductions is the same as the number of terminals between the two material transfer blocks 14, so as to complete the cyclic top material feeding of several sets of terminal connectors.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to provide external structural protection for the top material platform 2 and the transfer guide rail 4, an outer cover 19 is fixedly installed on the outside of both the top material platform 2 and the transfer guide rail 4.

[0040] Working principle: When the terminal connector is slidably fed into one end of the limiting groove 5 of the transfer guide rail 4 by an external conveying mechanism or robot, the output rod can be driven to extend by the set top cylinder 15. The extended output rod can drive the top slider 17 to move towards one end of the transfer guide rail 4. The movement of the top slider 17 can synchronously drive the top rod 18 to move. Thus, the top rod 18 can push the terminal connector at the end of the transfer guide rail 4 into the space between the two transfer blocks 14, completing the initial top feeding work before the terminal connector is transferred.

[0041] When a specified number of terminal connectors are placed inside the limiting groove 5 of the transfer guide rail 4 and between two transfer blocks 14, the output rods of the two first-stage cylinders 13 can be driven to extend. When the output rods of the first-stage cylinders 13 extend, they will synchronously drive the top transfer block 14 to rise. In this way, the two transfer blocks 14 can be raised between the two ends of several terminal connectors and the terminal connectors can be lifted and blocked.

[0042] At this time, the servo motor can rotate forward. When the servo motor rotates forward, it will drive the ball screw 8 synchronously through the output shaft. When the ball screw 8 rotates forward, the slide 9 connected to it can move from right to left along the ball screw 8. The displacement of the slide 9 can synchronously drive the vertical plate 11 and the transfer block 14 on it to move. The movement of the transfer block 14 can drive the terminal connector between the two transfer blocks 14 to move from right to left, thus completing the short-distance high-precision transfer of the terminal connector.

[0043] When the terminal connector between the two transfer blocks 14 moves to the leftmost end of the ball screw 8, the first-stage cylinder 13 drives the two transfer blocks 14 to retract through the output rod. Then the transfer blocks 14 retract downward from the limit slide 5, so that the transfer blocks 14 no longer obstruct the transfer of several terminal connectors in the first group.

[0044] Afterwards, the slide block 9 and the transfer block 14 are reversed and reset under the action of the servo motor and the ball screw 8. At this time, the slide block 9 and the transfer block 14 move and reset from left to right. After the movement and reset, the transfer block 14 can extend upward again under the action of the first-stage cylinder 13, so as to lift and block several terminal connectors of the second group. The transfer of the terminal connectors of the second group can be completed in the above way.

[0045] In the process of transferring the second group of terminal connectors by the transfer block 14, it can push against the first group of terminal connectors, thereby pushing the first group of terminal connectors to the left again. At this time, the second group of connectors is placed in the position of the first group of connectors, while the first group of connectors moves forward a distance. Thus, through the mutual pushing and displacement effect of several groups of terminal connectors, the automated linear transfer of several groups of terminal connectors can be completed, which has a good automated transfer effect.

[0046] This utility model discloses a connector transfer device that uses a threaded transmission structure in conjunction with the up-and-down extension and retraction of the transfer block 14. This allows for automated transfer of terminal connectors before crimping via a reciprocating threaded transmission method, providing a practical reciprocating cyclic transfer effect. By controlling the number of rotations of the motor, the transfer distance can be precisely controlled. In practical use, this utility model offers more precise transfer distance control, higher accuracy over short distances, and effectively improves the displacement accuracy of terminal materials. It prevents positional deviations when terminal connectors are transported to the crimping station, thereby effectively improving the quality and accuracy of crimping, enhancing the overall production quality of connector products, and increasing practicality.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
