Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When welding wire harnesses and terminals, the terminals are manually placed into the material tray, the system automatically clamps the tray, and uses a camera to photograph and locate the shape and position of the terminals in the tray, and determines whether they are the terminals required in the current formula and whether the placement position is on the designated material tray position. After the judgment is qualified, a four-axis robot arm picks up the terminal and moves it to the transfer platform. The transfer platform is equipped with an adaptive fixture, which can accurately position various terminals. Finally, the linear module drives the gripper to send the terminal to the ultrasonic welding position.

[0003] In the existing technology, on the one hand, due to the lack of positioning when transporting terminals, it is impossible to maintain the consistency of terminal positions when transporting multiple terminals in sequence, which makes it easy for terminals to shift positions during transport, thus making it difficult to achieve accurate position transfer; on the other hand, terminals are prone to falling off during transport, requiring repeated loading, which leads to a reduction in transport 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
