Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated crimping device for automotive terminal blocks, including a workbench 100, a pressing mechanism 200 on the top surface of the workbench 100, and a cylinder 300 mounted on the top surface of the pressing mechanism 200; a terminal placement plate 500, with sliding grooves 400 formed on both sides of the inner wall of the workbench 100, the terminal placement plate 500 slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 400, the terminal placement plate 500 including a plate 5001, a placement hole 5002 formed on the top surface of the plate 5001, and the plate 5001 hinged on both sides of its bottom surface near the placement hole 5002. There is a baffle 5003; an electrode placement plate 600, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove 400. The electrode placement plate 600 includes a top plate 6001 and a bottom plate 6004. The top surface of the top plate 6001 has a hole 6002 that matches the placement hole 5002. The bottom surface of the top plate 6001 has a sliding groove 6003 that matches the bottom plate 6004. The pressing mechanism 200 on the worktable 100, in conjunction with the cylinder 300, can realize automated pressing operation. Compared with manual pressing, it greatly improves pressing efficiency and consistency, and reduces labor costs and labor intensity. The terminal placement plate 500 and the pole placement plate 600 slide within the groove 400, facilitating quick positioning of the terminals and poles. The placement hole 5002 and the hole position 6002 match each other, ensuring precise alignment of the terminal and pole, thus guaranteeing high-quality crimping. The baffle 5003 of the terminal placement plate 500 has a hinged design, which helps to support the terminals inside the placement hole 5002, preventing the terminals from detaching from the placement hole 5002 before crimping. Furthermore, the sliding groove 6003 structure of the top plate 6001 and the bottom plate 6004 of the pole placement plate 600 facilitates the restriction of the poles in the corresponding hole position 6002. By pulling out the bottom plate 6004, the poles that have completed the crimping work in the hole position 6002 can be detached, allowing for subsequent material collection operations.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] As an embodiment of this utility model, the pressing mechanism 200 further includes an outer box 2001, with a lifting plate 2002 slidably connected inside the outer box 2001. A pressing pile 2003 is installed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 2002. The outer box 2001 provides a stable running track for the lifting plate 2002 and the pressing pile 2003, ensuring that the pressing pile is pressed vertically during the pressing process, avoiding instability in the pressing quality due to tilting. The lifting plate 2002 can slide smoothly inside the box, enabling the pressing pile to accurately and stably press the terminals and poles. A through hole 2004 is provided on the top surface of the outer box 2001. The output end of the cylinder 300 passes through the through hole 2004 and is connected to the top surface of the lifting plate 2002. The output end of the cylinder 300 is connected to the lifting plate 2002 through the through hole 2004, which can accurately transmit power and control the lifting stroke and force of the lifting plate. By adjusting the air pressure and stroke of the cylinder, the pressing depth and pressure of the pile can be precisely controlled to meet the crimping process requirements of different specifications of terminals and poles, and to achieve precise crimping.

[0033] As an embodiment of this utility model, a torsion spring 5004 is further fitted at the hinge joint between the plate 5001 and the baffle 5003. Through the torsion force of the torsion spring 5004 on the baffle 5003, the two baffles 5003 can always remain horizontal at the bottom of the placement hole 5002. At the same time, the baffle 5003 can automatically reset after the terminal is placed.

[0034] As an embodiment of this utility model, a gap is provided between the top surface of the base plate 6004 and the bottom surface of the baffle 5003. The gap provides space for the swing of the two baffles 5003 and prevents the pole post placement plate 600 from interfering with the baffle 5003 of the terminal placement plate 500 during the sliding process, ensuring that the two can slide smoothly in the slide groove 400.

[0035] As an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the base plate 6004 is provided with a grooved handle 6005, which makes it easier for operators to grip and makes it more convenient to install and remove the pole post placement plate 600.

[0036] As an embodiment of this utility model, the workbench 100 is further provided with a material collection frame 700 inside. The material collection frame 700 includes a frame body 7001. The bottom surface of the frame body 7001 is rotatably connected to a pulley 7003. The frame body 7001 is slidably connected to the inside of the workbench 100 through the pulley 7003. By sliding through the pulley 7003, it is convenient to collect the crimped pole terminal workpieces, and the material collection frame can be easily pulled out from the workbench for cleaning.

[0037] As an embodiment of this utility model, a buffer net 7002 is further installed inside the frame 7001. The buffer net 7002 can buffer the pole terminal workpiece falling into the collection frame, prevent the pole terminal workpiece from directly hitting the frame 7001 and causing damage, and at the same time prevent the pole terminal workpiece from splashing around inside the frame.

[0038] Specifically, the working principle of this automated automotive terminal crimping equipment is as follows: During use, the operator first places the terminal into the placement hole 5002 of the terminal placement plate 500. The torsion spring 5004 at the hinge point between the plate 5001 and the baffle 5003 causes the baffle 5003 to automatically reset and support the terminal, preventing it from detaching. Then, the terminal post is placed into the hole 6002 of the top plate 6001 of the terminal post placement plate 600. The sliding base plate 6004 engages with the slot 6003 of the top plate 6001, securing the terminal post within. Subsequently, the terminal placement plate 500 and the terminal post placement plate 600 are slid along the groove 400 on the inner wall of the worktable 100, achieving precise alignment of the terminal and the terminal post through the matching of the placement hole 5002 and the hole 6002. Next, cylinder 300 is activated, its output end passing through the through hole 2004 on the top surface of the outer casing 2001 of the pressing mechanism 200, pushing the lifting plate 2002 to slide inside the casing, causing the pressing post 2003 to press vertically downwards, pressing the terminals and poles. After pressing, the bottom plate 6004 of the pole placement plate 600 is pulled out, allowing the pressed pole to disengage from the hole 6002 for material collection. The pressed pole terminal workpiece falls into the collection frame 700 inside the workbench 100. The pulleys 7003 on the bottom surface of the frame 7001 facilitate the sliding and pulling out of the collection frame for cleaning, while the internal buffer net 7002 cushions the pole terminal workpiece, preventing damage to the frame and splashing of the pole terminal workpiece.
