Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire harness terminal welding technology, and specifically relates to a terminal centering mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] When welding wire harnesses and terminals, the terminals are manually placed into the tray, and the system automatically clamps the tray and uses a camera to photograph and locate the shape and position of the terminals in the tray. This allows the system to determine whether the terminals are the ones required in the current formula and whether they are placed in the designated tray position. Once the determination is successful, a four-axis robot picks up the terminals and moves them to the transfer station. The transfer station is equipped with adaptive clamps that can accurately position various terminals. Finally, a linear module drives the grippers to deliver the terminals to the ultrasonic welding position.

[0003] Before welding terminals to wire harnesses, the terminals need to be transported to the welding position for ultrasonic welding. In existing technology, due to the lack of terminal positioning when transporting multiple terminals, the terminals cannot be kept in the same position when transferred to the welding position. This causes the terminals and wire harness to be misaligned and cannot be accurately aligned with the welding position, thus affecting the welding quality and efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve upon the shortcomings of existing technologies in order to overcome their deficiencies in practical applications. Utility Model Content

Moreover, this application should be understood not only through the actual terms used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0025] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a terminal centering mechanism is provided, including a rodless cylinder 1, a sliding plate 2, a base 3, a positioning cylinder 4, and a positioning assembly 5. The sliding plate 2 is slidably engaged with the rodless cylinder 1. The positioning cylinder 4 is mounted on the sliding plate 2, and the base 3 is connected above the positioning cylinder 4. The positioning assembly 5 is mounted on the base 3. The positioning assembly 5 is used to position the terminal A. The positioning assembly 5 is driven by the rodless cylinder 1 to move along the X direction, so that the positioning assembly 5 sequentially conveys multiple terminals A and keeps the positions of different terminals A relatively fixed. It should be noted that the X direction is configured along the axis of the rodless cylinder 1, that is, the sliding plate is along the movement direction of the rodless cylinder.

[0026] Specifically, the positioning component 5 includes a top-pressing cylinder 51, a limiting seat 52, and a clamping cylinder 53. The top-pressing cylinder 51 and the limiting seat 52 are arranged opposite to each other and respectively abut against the two ends of the terminal.

[0029] Furthermore, the two grippers 531 of the clamping cylinder 53, the limiting seat 52, and the top-pressing cylinder 51 respectively abut against the four side walls of terminal A.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning cylinder 4 is slidably engaged with the base 3 to drive the positioning assembly 5 to move along the Y direction.

[0031] Furthermore, the base 3 is provided with a mounting groove 32 for mounting the top pressure cylinder 51. The output end of the top pressure cylinder 51 abuts against one end of the terminal.

[0032] According to the terminal centering mechanism provided in this application, by positioning the terminals, the positions of multiple terminals can be kept relatively consistent when the terminals are transferred, thereby enabling the terminals and wire harnesses to be precisely aligned with the welding position for welding, avoiding manual positioning of the terminals, and improving welding quality and welding efficiency.
