Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of connector processing equipment, and in particular to a connector tinplate fixing processing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional processing methods for connector tinplate have numerous drawbacks. Currently, laser processing of connector tinplate is done individually, requiring one person for this single step. Because it's done piecemeal, processing efficiency is extremely low, and operators need to frequently load and unload materials and operate the laser equipment, resulting in high labor intensity. Furthermore, after laser processing, a separate bending operation is required, also done by one person, further lengthening the entire processing cycle and hindering overall efficiency. In addition, operating multiple steps by a single person is not only labor-intensive but also prone to errors due to fatigue, affecting product quality. This traditional step-by-step, single-person, single-step operation mode can no longer meet the ever-increasing production demands and urgently needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the problems in related technologies. Therefore, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a connector tinplate fixing and processing fixture for simultaneously processing multiple connector tinplates, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0004] A connector tinplate fixing and processing fixture, the connector tinplate fixing and processing fixture comprising:

[0005] A processing base, wherein a plurality of processing positions are provided along its extending direction, and one of the processing positions is correspondingly placed with one of the connectors, and a bending processing opening is provided at the bottom of the processing position;

[0006] The processing cover is detachably connected to the processing base and covers multiple processing positions. The processing cover has a laser processing port that extends along the extension direction of the processing cover and covers multiple processing positions.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple processing positions are spaced apart along the extension direction of the processing base.

[0008] Furthermore, the processing base is also provided with a laser processing clearance opening, which extends along the extension direction of the processing base and is corresponding to the laser processing port.

[0009] Furthermore, a bending processing clearance opening is recessed on one side of the processing cover. When the processing cover is closed on the processing base, multiple bending processing openings are exposed in the bending processing clearance opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the processing base is recessed with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the processing cover is protruding with a snap-fit ​​block. When the processing cover is closed on the processing base, the snap-fit ​​block is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the processing base is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​slots, which are spaced apart, and the processing top cover is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks, with each snap-fit ​​block being inserted into a corresponding snap-fit ​​slot.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple snap-fit ​​slots are provided along the edge of the processing base, and multiple snap-fit ​​blocks are provided along the edge of the processing cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the processing position is provided with a positioning protrusion or a positioning groove, which is used to limit the connector.

[0014] Furthermore, an elastic support is provided at the bottom of the processing station.

[0015] Furthermore, the processing cover is provided with an observation window.

[0016] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] The connector tinplate fixing fixture of this application is composed of a processing base and a processing top cover. The processing base is provided with multiple processing positions, which can realize the installation and placement of multiple connector tinplates. Each processing position is provided with a bending processing port. The processing top cover is detachably connected to the processing base and is provided with a laser processing port, which extends to cover multiple processing positions.

[0018] In practice, the products assembled with multiple connectors and tinplate are first placed one by one into the processing positions. Then, the processing cover is connected and placed on top of the corresponding processing position on the processing base. This stably fixes the product and provides reliable positioning for subsequent laser processing and bending. The multiple processing positions allow multiple products to be placed simultaneously, greatly increasing the processing capacity compared to traditional single processing.

[0019] The entire fixture operates as a streamlined production line, requiring only one operator. First, the product is loaded into the processing base and secured with the processing cover. Then, the fixture is placed on the fixed base of the laser processing machine, and the laser processing nozzle is aligned with the laser nozzle for laser processing.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0033] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the connector tinplate fixing fixture 1 provided in this application includes:

[0035] The processing base 10 has multiple processing positions 11 along its extension direction. Each processing position 11 is corresponding to a connector 2. The bottom of the processing position 11 has a bending processing opening 13.

[0036] The processing cover 30 is detachably connected to the processing base 10 and covers multiple processing positions 11. The processing cover 30 has a laser processing port 31, which extends along the extension direction of the processing cover 30 and covers multiple processing positions 11.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, specifically, the connector 2 tinplate fixing fixture is composed of a processing base 10 and a processing cover 30. In actual operation, the product after the connector 2 and tinplate are assembled is first placed into the processing position 11 of the processing base 10, and then the processing cover 30 is closed. This stably fixes the product and provides reliable positioning for subsequent laser processing. In this embodiment, its unique one-outlet-five-position design can hold five products simultaneously, greatly increasing the processing capacity compared to traditional single processing. In other embodiments, it can be one-outlet-four, one-outlet-six, etc., and is not limited here. Operators can design according to actual conditions.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixed processing fixture can be placed into the laser processing machine 3 for processing. The laser processing machine 3 consists of the connector 2 tinplate laser fixing fixture slot and a quick clamp. The connector 2 tinplate laser fixing fixture containing the product is placed into the slot of the laser quick-fix base. The quick clamp quickly closes and fixes the connector 2 tinplate laser fixing fixture, thus keeping the product stable during laser processing and preventing displacement from affecting processing accuracy. The quick clamp design enables rapid clamping and fixing, reducing clamping time and improving overall processing efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the laser-processed fixture can be placed into the forming and bending machine 4 for processing. The forming and bending machine includes an electrical control box, a sliding table bottom mold (equipped with a laser fixing fixture slot for connector 2 tinplate and a one-out-five-down U-shaped riveting tool), and an upper mold (equipped with a one-out-five-upper U-shaped riveting tool). After the product completes laser processing, the laser fixing fixture for connector 2 tinplate is placed into the slot of the laser fixing fixture for connector 2 tinplate in the sliding table bottom mold, moving the product above the upper mold. At this time, both hands are pressed to activate the cylinder, which in turn drives the upper mold downwards. The one-out-five-upper U-shaped riveting tool of the upper mold cooperates with the one-out-five-downper U-shaped riveting tool of the sliding table bottom mold to form and rivet the product, achieving synchronous bending. The one-out-five riveting tool design allows for bending operations on five products simultaneously, further improving processing efficiency. In other embodiments, it can be one-out-four, one-out-six, etc., which is not limited here; the operator can design according to the actual situation.

[0040] The entire fixture operates as a streamlined production line, requiring only one operator. First, the product is loaded and secured into the tinplate laser fixing fixture (connector 2). Then, it is placed on the laser processing machine (3) for laser processing. After laser processing, the fixture is directly transferred to the shaping and bending processing machine (4) for shaping and riveting. The close cooperation of all components enables a seamless operation from loading to laser processing to bending, significantly shortening the processing cycle.

[0041] The design of multiple processing stations 11 allows for the simultaneous processing of multiple connector 2 tinplates, changing the inefficient traditional single-processing mode, increasing the processing volume, and shortening the processing cycle. The bending processing port 13 at the bottom of the processing station 11 prepares for subsequent bending processing, while the laser processing port 31 enables multiple products to undergo laser processing simultaneously. Together with the processing station 11, these two features achieve multi-process integration.

[0042] Optionally, the layout of the processing stations 11 can be optimized. The processing stations 11 are arranged in a matrix, not only along the extension direction of the processing base 10 but also rationally distributed in the vertical direction. For example, if the processing base 10 is rectangular, and the processing stations 11 are distributed in 3 rows and 5 columns, this greatly increases the number of products processed at one time, further improving production efficiency. This layout is suitable for situations where the connector 2 is small in size and requires high processing precision, making full use of the space of the processing base 10.

[0043] Optionally, the structure of machining station 11 can be improved. Each machining station 11 is designed with an adaptive adjustment function. Inside the machining station 11, an adjustable positioning plate is installed, which is driven by a miniature lead screw and a motor. When connectors 2 of different specifications are inserted, the operator can input the size parameters of the connector 2 through the control panel, and the motor drives the lead screw to adjust the position of the positioning plate, thereby achieving precise positioning of the connector 2 and improving the versatility of the fixture.

[0044] Optionally, the bending processing opening 13 can be designed with various shapes and sizes to meet different bending process requirements. For simple right-angle bends, a right-angle bending processing opening 13 is provided; for complex arc bends, an arc bending processing opening 13 is provided. Furthermore, a removable mold bushing can be installed inside the bending processing opening 13, and different bushings can be replaced according to specific bending requirements to meet diverse processing needs.

[0045] Optionally, the laser processing port 31 adopts a telescopic design, consisting of multiple sliding metal plates. The length and width of the laser processing port 31 can be adjusted according to the actual processing range of the connector 2 via an electric slide rail and controller. For example, when processing connectors 2 of different sizes, the size of the laser processing port 31 can be flexibly changed, concentrating laser energy in the area to be processed, thus improving the efficiency and precision of laser processing.

[0046] Optionally, the processing cover 30 is made of a high-strength, high-temperature resistant ceramic matrix composite material with good laser reflection properties. This material can not only withstand the high temperatures during laser processing and reduce thermal deformation, but also reflect some of the scattered laser back to the processing area, improving laser energy utilization and reducing laser damage to the processing cover 30.

[0047] Furthermore, multiple processing stations 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the processing base 10.

[0048] Specifically, the spaced processing positions 11 ensure that each connector 2 has sufficient space during processing, preventing mutual interference. During laser processing, this prevents the laser beam from accidentally hitting adjacent products; during bending processing, it also provides operating space for the bending tool, ensuring processing accuracy and quality.

[0049] Optionally, a heat-insulating and sound-insulating buffer layer is provided at the intervals between processing positions 11. The buffer layer is made of aerogel and sound-absorbing cotton composite, which can effectively block the heat generated during laser processing from being transferred to adjacent processing positions 11, preventing thermal impact on adjacent products, and also reduce noise propagation during processing, improving the working environment.

[0050] Furthermore, the processing base 10 is also provided with a laser processing clearance 15, which extends along the extension direction of the processing base 10 and is corresponding to the laser processing port 31.

[0051] Specifically, the function of the laser processing clearance 15 is to provide space for the laser beam to pass through during laser processing, prevent the laser energy from being absorbed or reflected by the processing base 10, reduce damage to the processing base 10, and at the same time ensure that the laser can accurately act on the tinplate of the connector 2, thereby improving the laser processing effect.

[0052] Optionally, a multi-layer energy-absorbing coating is provided inside the laser processing clearance 15. The coating consists of carbon nanotubes and special metal oxides, which can effectively absorb laser energy, convert it into heat energy and dissipate it quickly, further reducing the impact of the laser on the processing base 10.

[0053] Furthermore, a bending processing clearance opening 33 is recessed on one side of the processing cover 30. When the processing cover 30 is closed on the processing base 10, multiple bending processing openings 13 are exposed in the bending processing clearance opening 33.

[0054] Specifically, the bending clearance 33 facilitates the bending tool's approach to the bending opening 13 at the bottom of the processing position 11, enabling the bending operation of the connector 2 tinplate. This ensures smooth bending processing and prevents the processing cover 30 from obstructing the bending process.

[0055] Optionally, the bending clearance 33 is made of a flexible material, such as silicone or polyurethane elastomer. When the bending tool approaches, the clearance can adaptively deform according to the shape and position of the tool, better conforming to the tool and improving the accuracy and effect of the bending process. At the same time, a pressure sensor is installed inside the clearance to monitor the pressure changes during the bending process in real time and feed them back to the control system so that the bending force can be adjusted in a timely manner.

[0056] Furthermore, the processing base 10 is recessed with a snap-fit ​​groove 17, and the processing cover 30 is protruding with a snap-fit ​​block 35. When the processing cover 30 is closed on the processing base 10, the snap-fit ​​block 35 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 17.

[0057] Specifically, the engagement of the snap-fit ​​groove 17 and the snap-fit ​​block 35 is used to secure the processing cover 30 and the processing base 10, ensuring a tight connection between them. This prevents the cover from loosening during laser processing and bending, ensuring the stability of the tinplate connector 2 during processing and guaranteeing processing accuracy.

[0058] Optionally, the locking groove 17 and the locking block 35 adopt a combination of mortise and tenon structure and snap-fit ​​structure. The locking groove 17 has multiple protrusions and grooves inside, and the locking block 35 is correspondingly designed as a composite structure with tenons and snap-fits. When the locking block 35 is inserted into the locking groove 17, the tenon and groove fit tightly together, providing stable positioning; the snap-fit ​​further locks the locking groove 17, preventing the locking block 35 from loosening, greatly enhancing the firmness of the connection.

[0059] Furthermore, the processing base 10 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​slots 17, which are spaced apart. The processing top cover 30 is also provided with multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 35, with one snap-fit ​​block 35 inserted into one snap-fit ​​slot 17.

[0060] Specifically, multiple snap-fit ​​slots 17 and snap-fit ​​blocks 35 further enhance the stability of the connection between the machining cover 30 and the machining base 10. Compared to a single connection point, multiple connection points can better distribute the forces during the machining process, avoid loosening of the connection due to excessive local stress, and improve the overall stability of the fixture.

[0061] Optionally, both the snap-fit ​​groove 17 and the snap-fit ​​block 35 are made of high-strength titanium alloy. Titanium alloy has advantages such as low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance, and can withstand greater external forces, is not easily deformed or damaged, and extends the service life of the fixture.

[0062] Optionally, based on the results of stress analysis during processing, the layout of the multiple snap-fit ​​slots 17 and snap-fit ​​blocks 35 can be optimized. In areas with high stress during processing, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 17 and snap-fit ​​blocks 35 can be increased; in areas with low stress, the number can be appropriately reduced, making the distribution of connection points more reasonable and further improving the stability of the fixture.

[0063] Furthermore, multiple snap-fit ​​slots 17 are provided along the edge of the processing base 10, and multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 35 are provided along the edge of the processing top cover 30.

[0064] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​groove 17 and snap-fit ​​block 35 are positioned at the edge, which facilitates operation and ensures a stable connection without affecting the function of the machining position 11 and the machining port. At the same time, the edge positioning helps to evenly distribute the connection force and enhances the overall structural stability of the fixture.

[0065] Optionally, based on the snap-fit ​​groove 17 and snap-fit ​​block 35 along their edges, sealant and reinforcing gaskets are added to the connection points. The sealant is a high-temperature resistant and chemically resistant silicone sealant, which effectively prevents dust, debris, and moisture from entering the processing area, protecting the product and fixture. The reinforcing gaskets are made of high-strength carbon fiber composite material, enhancing the strength of the connection points and preventing loosening due to vibration or external forces during processing.

[0066] Furthermore, the inner wall of the processing position 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion or a positioning groove, which is used to limit the connector 2.

[0067] Specifically, high-precision positioning protrusions or grooves are added to the inner wall of each processing station 11. These positioning structures are precisely adapted to the outer contour of the connector 2 tinplate, further improving the positioning accuracy of the product in the processing station 11, ensuring the accuracy of the product position during laser processing and bending processing, and reducing processing errors. For example, right-angled grooves are designed to match the corner shape of the connector 2 tinplate, allowing the product corners to be tightly embedded and preventing displacement during processing.

[0068] Furthermore, the bottom of the processing station 11 is provided with an elastic support.

[0069] Specifically, an elastic support assembly is installed at the bottom of processing station 11. This assembly can be made of elastic rubber pads or springs. When the product is placed in processing station 11, the elastic support provides a certain amount of cushioning force to prevent damage to the product due to hard contact. At the same time, during bending processing, it helps the product to better conform to the bending tool, improving the bending effect. For example, when bending some thinner connector 2 tinplate, the elastic support can prevent the product from being deformed by pressure, ensuring the flatness and accuracy of the bend.

[0070] Furthermore, the upper cover 30 is equipped with an observation window.

[0071] Specifically, a transparent observation window is provided at a suitable location on the processing cover 30. The window material can be high-temperature resistant, high-strength glass or acrylic sheet. Through the observation window, the operator can observe the status of the product during processing in real time without opening the processing cover 30, such as the progress of laser processing and whether there are any abnormalities in the product.

[0072] Optionally, the observation window is made of multi-layered composite glass, which, in addition to providing transparent observation, also integrates heating, anti-fogging, and display functions. The heating layer prevents fogging due to temperature differences during processing, thus avoiding interference with observation; the anti-fogging coating further enhances anti-fogging performance. The display function is achieved by embedding a micro-display screen inside the glass, which can display processing parameters, product information, and monitoring data in real time for convenient viewing by operators.

[0073] Optionally, some detection sensors, such as temperature sensors and displacement sensors, can be integrated near the observation window to monitor key parameters in the processing in real time and provide data support for the control of processing quality.

[0074] Optionally, a protective coating that is heat-resistant, wear-resistant, and has certain insulating properties can be applied to the inner surface of the processing cover 30. This coating not only protects the processing cover 30 from laser damage during laser processing and extends its service life, but also prevents friction scratches between the product and the cover during bending processing.

[0075] Optionally, a sealing structure, such as a rubber sealing ring, can be added at the connection between the processing cover 30 and the processing base 10 to prevent debris, dust and other impurities from entering the processing area and affecting product quality.

[0076] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
