Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic processing equipment for circular connectors, specifically an automatic electrical testing and marking machine for circular connectors. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the functional testing and marking of circular connectors before shipment typically relies on multiple independent workstations to perform operations such as electrical performance testing, marking, and pin bending. Each process requires manual movement of the circular connector from one workstation to another, with different workers performing the corresponding operations. This decentralized, manual operation mode has several shortcomings.

[0003] First, manual handling not only increases the workload but also increases the risk of connector damage or positioning errors due to improper handling, affecting the accuracy and consistency of subsequent processes. Second, multi-station manual operation is inefficient, especially when handling large quantities of connectors, making it difficult to guarantee production cycle time and meet the demands of high-efficiency, mass production. Furthermore, the lack of a unified control system between workstations prevents automated workflow coordination, leading to omissions or incorrect sequences, resulting in incomplete product inspection or incorrect labeling, impacting product quality and consistency. Finally, multi-person collaboration increases labor costs and management complexity, hindering the automation upgrade of the manufacturing process.

[0004] To address this issue, the present invention provides an automatic electrical testing and marking machine for circular connectors. Utility Model Content

The vertical electric guide rails 4, together with the tray 5, facilitate the placement of the circular connectors to be tested and the circular connectors after testing. The control panel 6 is used to control the operation of the overall device. The material transfer component 7 can move the circular connectors on the workstation module in sequence. The workstation module can realize the rotation, electrical testing, marking and bending of the circular connectors.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] Please see Figure 2-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: the material transfer assembly 7 includes a rodless cylinder 71 fixed above the workbench 1, and a matching moving slider 72 is installed on the rodless cylinder 71.

[0036] A first electric actuator 73 is fixed to the top wall of the movable slider 72 via a mounting plate;

[0037] The movable end of the bottom of the No. 1 electric actuator 73 slides through the mounting plate and is fixed with the mounting beam 74;

[0038] Six pneumatic grippers 75 are evenly fixed to the front wall of the mounting beam 74.

[0039] In this embodiment, the material transfer component 7 can simultaneously clamp the circular connectors at the six stations on the left and then move them to the six stations on the right, achieving uninterrupted processing and inspection of the circular connectors. The pneumatic gripper 75 is controlled to move left and right by the rodless cylinder 71, and the pneumatic gripper 75 is controlled to move up and down by the first electric push rod 73.

[0040] The workstation module includes, from left to right, a material loading station 10, a first rotary station 11, a first electrical testing station 12, a coding station 13, a second electrical testing station 18, a pin bending station 14, a second rotary station 19, and a mounting platform 16 installed on each workstation.

[0041] The mounting platform 16 is slidably mounted on the feeding station 10 and the coding station 13. The ends of the feeding station 10 and the coding station 13 are both fixed with a second electric push rod 15 for controlling the sliding of the mounting platform 16.

[0042] Mounting platform 16 is rotated and mounted on rotating station 11 and rotating station 19. Rotating station 11 and rotating station 19 are equipped with servo motors that drive the mounting platform 16 to rotate.

[0043] Mounting platform 16 is fixed on electrical testing station 12, electrical testing station 18 and pin bending station 14. The mounting platform 16 is equipped with electrical testing connectors 17 that are connected to electrical testing station 12 and electrical testing station 18.

[0044] The coding mechanism 8 includes a laser coding machine 82, which corresponds to the coding station 13. The laser coding machine 82 is mounted on the top wall of the workbench 1 via a lifting mechanism 81.

[0045] A material discharge chute 9 is provided on the right side of workbench 1, near the second rotary station 19.

[0046] Working Principle: In use, this invention first uses the left-side transverse electric guide rail 2 in conjunction with the pneumatic clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the circular connector to be inspected onto the loading station 10, placing it on the corresponding mounting platform 16. Then, the second electric push rod 15 on the loading station 10 is extended, pushing the mounting platform 16 towards the front of the loading station 10. Subsequently, the circular connector is placed sequentially onto the right-side mounting platform 16 via the material transfer assembly 7. When the circular connector moves to the first rotating station 11, the first rotating station... The servo motor in position 11 controls the circular connector on mounting platform 16 to deflect at a certain angle (because the placement angle of the circular connector in the blister pack on the tray is different from the placement angle for subsequent testing, coding, and pin bending, a rotation operation is required). When the circular connector moves to positions 12 and 18 of electrical testing station 1, the electrical testing connector 17 in mounting platform 16 will contact the pins of the circular connector. At this time, electrical testing operations (including short-circuit tests and insulation withstand voltage tests) can be performed on the circular connector by an external electrical testing machine. When the circular connector moves to position 13 of coding station 13, the second electric push rod 15 on coding station 13 retracts, driving the circular connector to position 82 of laser coding machine for coding operation. After coding is completed, the second electric push rod 15 on coding station 13 resets, facilitating the circular connector to move to the next station. The pin bending station 14 is set up to bend the pins of the circular connector. The material drop trough 9 is set up to place unqualified circular connectors.
