Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated feeding technology, specifically to a convenient online non-stop feeding terminal mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of electrical connections, the crimping quality of terminals directly affects the reliability of electrical systems. In modern wire harness production, terminal crimping is usually completed by automated equipment, and the coordination between the crimping machine and the upper terminal mechanism is particularly critical.
[0003] However, crimping machines often need to be repositioned during operation due to process requirements. The fixed upper terminal mechanism cannot follow the movement trajectory of the crimping machine. When the crimping machine adjusts its working position, the upper terminal mechanism still maintains the original feeding path, which causes the crimping position of the terminal and the wire to deviate, resulting in poor crimping quality or even damage to the terminal.
[0004] Therefore, it is essential to design a convenient online terminal mechanism with high synchronization and accuracy that allows for continuous operation without shutdown. Utility Model Content

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: an online non-stop terminal feeding mechanism, including a feeding component 10, a terminal crimping machine 20 is provided on one side of the feeding component 10, and a wire clamp assembly 30 is provided on the opposite side of the terminal crimping machine 20. The feeding component 10 includes a winding module 11, a guide module 12, and a moving module 13. The guide module 12 is connected to the moving module 13. The terminal crimping machine 20, the wire clamp assembly 30, and the moving module 13 are all installed on the top surface of a workbench 40. The winding module 11 is installed on the bottom surface of the workbench 40. The winding module 11 includes a terminal tray 111, a tape winding device 112, and a terminal tray support arm 113. The terminal tray 111 is installed on a terminal tray tray 114 and is used to collect the wound terminal tape. 1. A material strip winder 112 is rotatably connected to one end of the terminal plate support arm 113 and is installed on the terminal plate support arm 113. It is used to drive the terminal plate 111 to rotate and wind the terminal material strip onto the guide module 12. The moving module 13 includes a rodless cylinder 131, a reset spring 132 and a first guide rail 133. The rodless cylinder 131 is installed on the worktable 40 and is used to drive the guide module 12 to perform synchronous displacement adjustment following the terminal crimping machine 20. One end of the reset spring 132 is installed on the worktable 40 and the other end of the reset spring 132 is connected to the guide module 12 to provide tension to assist the guide module 12 in resetting. The first guide rail 133 is installed on one side of the rodless cylinder 131 and is slidably connected to the guide module 12.
[0025] Through this technical solution, the winding module 11 drives the terminal disk 111 to rotate via the tape rewinder 112, realizing automatic unwinding of the terminal tape and synchronous recycling of the tape, ensuring continuous and stable feeding without manual intervention. The moving module 13 uses a rodless cylinder 131 to drive the guide module 12 to slide along the first guide rail 133, so that the tape conveying end can follow the position change of the terminal crimping machine 20 in real time and maintain precise alignment. The reset spring 132 provides a constant reset tension for the moving module 13. The winding module 11 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 40, which not only ensures the large-capacity storage of the tape but also saves the operating space of the workbench, making the overall structure more compact and reasonable. It realizes the automated conveying and precise positioning of the terminal tape, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.
[0026] Furthermore, the guide module 12 includes a guide wheel 121, a guide rail 122, a steering rail 123, a fixed frame 124, and a first slider 125. The fixed frame 124 is fixedly connected to the first slider 125, and the first slider 125 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 133. The guide wheel 121 is mounted on the support arm 126, and the support arm 126 is connected to the fixed frame 124. The guide rail 122 and the steering rail 123 are mounted on the fixed frame 124. A moving block 134 is provided on the rodless cylinder 131, and the moving block 134 is connected to the fixed frame 124. One end of the reset spring 132 is connected to the fixed frame 124, and the other end of the reset spring 132 is fixed to the worktable 40.
[0027] Through this technical solution, the guide wheel 121, guide rail 122 and steering rail 123 form a three-level guiding structure. The guide wheel 121 provides initial guidance for the terminal strip, the guide rail 122 constrains the lateral displacement of the strip, and the steering rail 123 realizes the conversion of the strip direction, ensuring that the terminal always maintains a precise posture during the conveying process. The rodless cylinder 131 drives the fixed frame 124 to slide along the first guide rail 133 through the moving block 134, thereby driving the entire guiding module 12 to move.
[0028] Furthermore, the tape winding device 112 includes a first motor 115 and a paper winding reel 116. The winding shaft of the paper winding reel 116 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the first motor 115. The paper winding reel 116 is used to collect the paper winding inside the terminal disk 111. The terminal material tape on the terminal disk 111 overlaps with the paper winding tape on the paper winding reel 116 and is wound in the terminal disk 111.
[0029] With this technical solution, the first motor 115 drives the paper roll 116 to rotate synchronously, separating the terminal strip from the paper roll. The paper roll is wound back into the paper roll 116, while the terminal strip is released into the guide module 12. This synchronous winding method ensures that the strip conveying speed is precisely matched with the working rhythm of the terminal crimping machine 20, avoiding the accumulation or breakage of the strip due to speed difference.
[0030] Furthermore, a displacement module 21 is provided at the bottom of the terminal crimping machine 20. The displacement module 21 includes a second motor 211, a lead screw 212, a second guide rail 213, a second slider 214, and a fixing plate 215. The output end of the second motor 211 is connected to the lead screw 212 and is used to drive the terminal crimping machine 20 to move closer to the wire clamp assembly 30. Two sets of second guide rails 213 and second sliders 214 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second sliders 214 slide on the second guide rails 213. The second guide rails 213 are mounted on the fixing plate 215.
[0031] Through this technical solution, the second motor 211 drives the lead screw 212 to rotate, converting the rotational motion into the linear displacement of the terminal crimping machine 20. The sliding cooperation structure of the two sets of second guide rails 213 and the second slider 214 provides dual guidance, ensuring that the crimping machine remains stable during movement and avoiding tilting or deviation caused by unilateral force. This solves the problem that traditional terminal crimping machines cannot adapt to the difficulty of adjusting the cable crimping position.
[0032] Furthermore, a locking module 117 is provided at one end of the terminal block support arm 113 near the worktable 40. The locking module 117 is connected to the worktable 40 and is used to lock and fix the winding module 11.
[0033] This technical solution allows for quick disassembly or installation of the winding module 11, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the terminal block 111.
[0034] Furthermore, a displacement sensor 216 for monitoring the travel of the terminal crimping machine 20 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 215;
[0035] Through this technical solution, the displacement sensor 216 can monitor the displacement position of the terminal crimping machine 20 in real time, forming a closed-loop feedback control to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the crimping position, and further improve the stability of product quality.
[0036] Working principle: First, the first motor 115 of the tape reel 112 drives the paper reel 116 to rotate, which drives the terminal disk 111 to rotate synchronously, so that the terminal tape and the paper reel wound on the terminal disk 111 are separated and unwound. The terminal tape is guided by the guide wheel 121, guide rail 122 and steering rail 123 of the guide module 12 and transported to the crimping position of the terminal crimping machine 20.
[0037] The wire clamp assembly 30 fixes the wire to prevent it from shifting. The second motor 211 of the displacement module 21 drives the lead screw 212 to rotate, which moves the terminal crimping machine 20 along the second guide rail 213 to the crimping position of the wire and the terminal. The displacement sensor 216 monitors the position of the terminal crimping machine 20 in real time. At the same time, the rodless cylinder 131 drives the moving block 134 to move the fixed frame 124 along the first guide rail 133, so that the guide module 12 moves synchronously with the terminal crimping machine 20 to ensure that the terminal strip is always aligned with the crimping position.
[0038] After the crimping is completed, the displacement module 21 drives the terminal crimping machine 20 to reset, and the reset spring 132 provides auxiliary return force, so that the guide module 12 can quickly reset after the rodless cylinder 131 stops moving.
