Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to automated equipment, and more particularly to a terminal layering and spacing adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the times, industrial production technology is also developing rapidly, and automated equipment is being used more and more in industrial production. Multi-pin plugs are usually composed of multiple terminals and a plug socket that fixes the terminals. The front end of the terminal is used for insertion, and the rear end of the terminal is used for welding the wire core. In order to make multi-pin plugs as compact as possible, the terminals of multi-pin plugs are usually divided into upper and lower layers, and the terminals of the upper and lower layers are arranged alternately. This can make the most of space and reduce the overall size of the plug. However, in the production process, in order to facilitate welding the terminals to the wire core, the common practice is to lay the wire core flat and then weld the terminals to the wire core one by one. This will result in the terminals being arranged in a single row after welding. Therefore, before fixing the terminals and the plug socket, it is necessary to adjust the vertical position and spacing of the terminals to ensure that the position of the terminals meets the design requirements. Currently, the above work is usually done manually, which is inefficient and not conducive to industrial production and large-scale promotion. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0033] This specific embodiment describes in detail the terminal layering and spacing adjustment device described in this application, such as... Figures 1-12 As shown, the terminal layering and adjusting device includes: a base 1, a first lifting mechanism 2, a second lifting mechanism, a linear drive mechanism, an upper clamping assembly 6, a lower clamping assembly 7, and an adjusting assembly 5. A row of N terminals 80 is provided at the end of the wire 90. The first lifting mechanism 2 and the second lifting mechanism are fixed to the base 1. The upper clamping assembly 6 is fixed to the moving end of the first lifting mechanism 2, and the lower clamping assembly 7 is fixed to the moving end of the second lifting mechanism. The upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 are arranged opposite to each other. The adjusting assembly 5 is slidably connected to the base 1 and can move left and right horizontally under the drive of the linear drive mechanism. A stepped shaft 61 is slidably passed through both the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7. Clamping pieces 62 of two different lengths are slidably sleeved on the stepped shaft 61 of both the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7. The number of clamping pieces 62 on each component 7 is not less than N and they correspond to each other. The two types of clamping pieces 62 on the upper clamping component 6 are arranged alternately. The arrangement order of the clamping pieces 62 on the lower clamping component 7 is the opposite of that on the upper clamping component 6. The upper clamping component 6 can approach the lower clamping component 7 under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 2. The lower clamping component 7 can approach the upper clamping component 6 under the drive of the second lifting mechanism. The clamping pieces 62 on the upper clamping component 6 and the lower clamping component 7 can clamp the terminals 80 and arrange the terminals 80 in an alternating vertical arrangement. The adjusting component 5 can push the stepped shaft 61 on the upper clamping component 6 and the lower clamping component 7 in the horizontal direction and drive the clamping pieces 62 sleeved on the same stepped shaft 61 to stick together tightly. The terminals 80 clamped on the clamping pieces 62 can approach each other under the drive of the adjusting component 5. N is a natural number greater than or equal to two. Terminals 80 are held in a staggered arrangement by two clamping plates 62 of different lengths, creating a layered arrangement. The spacing adjustment component 5 pushes a stepped shaft to bring the clamping plates into close contact, thus adjusting the spacing between the terminals 80. This transforms a single row of terminals 80 into two rows, ensuring the spacing between them meets requirements. This automated layering and spacing adjustment of the terminals 80 achieves a higher degree of automation compared to manual operation, offering the advantage of a high degree of automation.
[0034] Optionally in this embodiment, a fixing plate 11 is vertically arranged on the side of the base 1, the upper clamping component 6 is slidably connected to the first surface of the fixing plate 11 via the first slide rail, and the lower clamping component 7 is slidably connected to the first surface of the fixing plate 11 via the second slide rail.
[0035] Optionally in this embodiment, the upper clamping assembly 6 includes a stepped shaft 61, a clamping piece 62, two optical shafts 63, and a fixed shell 64. The fixed shell 64 is slidably connected to the first slide rail and includes two interlocking shells. The interior of the fixed shell 64 has a receiving cavity capable of accommodating the clamping piece 62. The fixed shell 64 also has a clearance opening for the clamping piece 62 to extend out. The two optical shafts 63 are fixed inside the fixed shell 64. The stepped shaft 61 slides through the fixed shell 64. Openings are provided on both sides of the fixed shell 64 for the stepped shaft 61 to extend out. A positioning protrusion 611 is provided at the left end of the stepped shaft 61, and a positioning member 65 is fixed at the right end of the stepped shaft 61 by a pin. The middle part of component 1 protrudes radially outward along the stepped shaft 61 to form at least two stepped portions 612. Each stepped portion 612 has a different outer diameter. The stepped portions 612 are arranged from left to right along the axial direction of the stepped shaft 61 according to the decrease in outer diameter. At least one clamping piece 62 is slidably connected to each stepped portion 612. At the same time, each clamping piece 62 is slidably connected to two optical axes 63. The axes of the two optical axes 63 are parallel to the axes of the stepped shaft 61. The inner wall of the receiving cavity can be abutted by the clamping pieces 62 located on both sides. The clamping piece 62 includes a first clamping piece and a second clamping piece. The length of the first clamping piece is greater than the length of the second clamping piece. The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are arranged alternately. In this embodiment, the lower clamping component 7 is the same as the upper clamping component 6, except that the arrangement order of the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece is reversed.
[0036] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8When terminal 80 needs to be clamped, the first lifting mechanism 2 and the second lifting mechanism respectively drive the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 to move closer to each other, and clamp the terminal 80 through the clamping pieces 62. Since the first clamping pieces and the second clamping pieces on the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 are staggered and arranged in reverse order (e.g., the clamping pieces 62 on the upper clamping assembly 6 are arranged from left to right as: first clamping piece, second clamping piece, first clamping piece, second clamping piece, first clamping piece, second clamping piece, ...), then the clamping pieces 62 on the lower clamping assembly 7... The clamping pieces 62 are arranged from left to right in the following order: second clamping piece, first clamping piece, second clamping piece, first clamping piece, second clamping piece, first clamping piece, ... . The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece have different lengths. By staggering the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, the contact terminal surface is made to be uneven. In this way, when the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 clamp the terminal 80, the uneven first clamping piece and the second clamping piece can make the adjacent terminals 80 staggered, thereby realizing the layering of a single row of terminals 80, that is, dividing it into upper and lower layers.
[0037] Optionally in this embodiment, the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece have an arc-shaped groove at the end that contacts the terminal 80. The arc-shaped groove can match the shape of the terminal 80, so that the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece can clamp the terminal 80 more firmly.
[0038] Optionally in this embodiment, the linear drive mechanism is a first cylinder 4, and the pitch adjustment assembly 5 includes a slide plate 51, two side plates 52, and a fixed base 53. The slide plate 51 is slidably connected to the second surface of the fixed plate 11 via a third slide rail. The first cylinder 4 is fixed to the slide plate 51, and the fixed base 53 is fixed to the fixed plate 11. The cylinder rod of the first cylinder 4 is connected to the fixed base 53. The side plates 52 are respectively fixed to both sides of the slide plate 51. The upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 are located between the two side plates 52. The side plates 52 can press against the stepped shaft 61 extending from the fixed shell 64. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 4 drives the side plates 52 to move left and right.
[0039] refer to Figure 6After the terminals 80 are layered, the first cylinder 4 drives the side plate 52 to press the stepped shaft 61 of the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 from right to left. Under the pressure of the side plate 52, the end of the stepped shaft 61 extending from the fixed housing 64 moves the stepped shaft 61 and the positioning member 65 from right to left. The positioning member 65 presses the rightmost clamping piece 62 and pushes all the clamping pieces 62 to the left. Simultaneously, the clamping pieces 62 disengage from their corresponding stepped portions 612 until the leftmost clamping piece 62 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the receiving cavity and all the clamping pieces 62 are in close contact with each other. Since the terminals 80 are clamped on the clamping pieces 62 at this time, the terminals 80 also move along with the clamping pieces 62, thereby reducing the distance between the terminals 80 to the set value, thus adjusting the distance between the terminals 80. In some optional embodiments, the user can increase or decrease the adjustment distance of the terminals 80 by replacing clamping pieces 62 of different thicknesses according to production needs. In this embodiment, the two optical axes 63 parallel to the stepped axis 61 can ensure that the clamping piece 62 will not move up and down after it is disengaged from the corresponding stepped part 612, and ensure that the clamping piece 62 can be smoothly fitted onto the corresponding stepped part 612 when it is subsequently reset.
[0040] refer to Figure 9After the terminals 80 have completed layering and spacing adjustment, the first lifting mechanism 2 and the second lifting mechanism drive the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 to move away from each other, respectively. At this time, the terminals 80 can be removed for the next processing step. (When loading and unloading the terminals 80, a fixture matching the current shape of the terminals 80 can be used to clamp the terminals 80 to ensure that the positional relationship between each terminal 80 does not change during the loading and unloading process. The equipment used for loading and unloading and the subsequent processing flow of the terminals 80 are not the focus of this embodiment, so they will not be described in detail.) After the terminals 80 are removed, the first cylinder 4 drives the side plate 52 to press the stepped shaft 61 from left to right in the opposite direction. The stepped shaft 61 and the positioning member 65 move from left to right under the pressure of the side plate 52. Taking the clamping piece 62 located on the far right as an example, during the movement of the stepped shaft 61, the clamping piece 62 located on the far right first fits onto the stepped part 612 located on the far right. Since the stepped part 612 on the stepped shaft 61 moves along the axial direction of the stepped shaft 61 from the right side to the left side, the clamping piece 62 located on the far right first fits onto the stepped part 612 located on the far right. Arranged from left to right in descending order of outer diameter, the rightmost step 612 is smaller than the step 612 to its left. This allows the larger step 612 to limit the movement of the rightmost clamping piece 62 (i.e., the sidewall of the rightmost clamping piece 62 can abut against the step 612 to its left). Once the rightmost clamping piece 62 abuts against the step 612 to its left, it remains relatively stationary with respect to the step shaft 61. As the step shaft 61 continuously... Moving from left to right, the clamping piece 62, which remains relatively stationary with the stepped shaft 61, also moves along with the stepped shaft 61 until it returns to its initial position. As the stepped shaft 61 continues to move to the right, each clamping piece 62 is re-attached to its corresponding stepped portion 612 according to the above principle and returns to its initial position along with the stepped shaft 61. The leftmost clamping piece 62 is limited by the positioning protrusion 611, thus resetting the clamping piece 62 to facilitate subsequent clamping of the terminal 80. In this embodiment, the left side corresponds to... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 The left side, and the right side in this embodiment corresponds to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 On the right side.
[0041] Optionally in this embodiment, the number of upper clamping components 6 and lower clamping components 7 are the same and each is greater than one. The upper clamping components 6 are arranged side by side with intervals. Each of the two adjacent stepped shafts 61 has a positioning pin hole 613 at the opposite end. The two sides of the connecting pin 66 are provided with positioning protrusions 611 that can be inserted into the positioning pin hole 613. The two adjacent stepped shafts 61 are connected end to end by the connecting pin 66. One upper clamping component 6 corresponds to one lower clamping component 7.
[0042] Optionally in this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 2 includes a second cylinder 21 and a third cylinder 22. The cylinder rod of the second cylinder 21 faces upward, and the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 22 faces downward. The cylinder rod of the second cylinder 21 is connected to the third cylinder 22 through a connector 23. The upper clamping assembly 6 is fixed to the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 22. The second cylinder 21 can drive the third cylinder 22 and the upper clamping assembly 6 to move back and forth in the vertical direction. The third cylinder 22 can drive the upper clamping assembly 6 to move back and forth in the vertical direction. The second lifting mechanism is a fourth cylinder 3. The lower clamping assembly 7 is fixed to the cylinder rod of the fourth cylinder 3. The fourth cylinder 3 can drive the lower clamping assembly 7 to move back and forth in the vertical direction. The first lifting mechanism 2 is equipped with a second cylinder 21 and a third cylinder 22 with opposite cylinder rods, which can drive the upper clamping assembly 6 to move up and down through the relay of the two cylinders. When it is necessary to drive the upper clamping assembly 6 to move upward, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 21 extends while the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 22 retracts. When it is necessary to drive the upper clamping assembly 6 to move downward, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 21 retracts while the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 22 extends.
[0043] Optionally, this embodiment also includes an upper auxiliary positioning component and a lower auxiliary positioning component. The upper auxiliary positioning component includes an upper connecting plate 8, an upper connecting seat 9, and an upper baffle 10. The lower auxiliary positioning component includes a lower connecting plate 20, a lower connecting seat 30, and a lower baffle 40. The two ends of the upper connecting plate 8 are respectively connected to two side plates 52 and are located above the upper clamping component 6. The two ends of the lower connecting plate 20 are respectively connected to two side plates 52 and are located below the lower clamping component 7. The upper connecting seat 9 is fixed to the top section of the upper clamping component 6, and the lower connecting seat 30 is fixed to the bottom end of the lower clamping component 7. A first sliding groove is provided on the upper connecting seat 9. An upper connecting rod extends from the top of the upper baffle 10 and is slidably connected to the first sliding groove. A second sliding groove is provided on the lower connecting seat 30, and a lower sliding groove extends from the bottom end of the lower baffle 40. The connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are slidably connected to the second slide groove. The upper baffle 10 is elastically connected to the upper connecting seat 9 by the first spring 50, and the lower baffle 40 is elastically connected to the lower connecting seat 30 by the second spring 60. The upper connecting plate 8 has the same number of first inclined surfaces 81 as the upper baffle 10 on the side away from the lower connecting plate 20. The lower connecting plate 20 has the same number of second inclined surfaces as the lower baffle 40 on the side away from the upper connecting plate 8. The end of the upper connecting rod is rotatably connected to a first roller 70, and the end of the lower connecting rod is rotatably connected to a second roller. One first roller 70 corresponds to one first inclined surface 81, and one second roller corresponds to one second inclined surface. The first roller 70 can roll along the inclined surface of the first inclined surface 81, and the second roller can roll along the inclined surface of the second inclined surface.
[0044] Optionally in this embodiment, the top of the lower baffle 40 is a flat surface, and the bottom of the upper baffle 10 is provided with an observation port.
[0045] The purpose of setting up the upper and lower auxiliary positioning components is to provide auxiliary positioning for the terminal 80 during the feeding process. The specific principle is as follows: (Refer to...) Figure 3In the initial state, when the clamping piece 62 is not clamping the terminal 80, the upper baffle 10 moves closer to the lower baffle 40 under the push of the first spring 50, and the first roller 70 is located at the lower end of the first inclined surface 81. The lower baffle 40 moves closer to the upper baffle 10 under the push of the second spring 60, and the second roller is located at the lower end of the second inclined surface. At this time, the upper baffle 10 and the lower baffle 40 are close to each other with a gap between them. During the feeding process, the terminal 80 in a single row can be inserted into the gap, and the bottom of the terminal 80 can rest on the top of the lower baffle 40. In addition, the positional relationship between the clamping piece 62 and the terminal 80 can be observed through the observation port at the bottom of the upper baffle 10, thereby adjusting the terminal. The left and right positions of terminal 80 ensure that terminal 80 is perfectly aligned with clamping plate 62. When terminal 80 is layered, since the upper baffle 10 and upper connecting seat 9, and the lower baffle 40 and lower connecting seat 30 are all elastically connected, if terminal 80 interferes with the upper baffle 10 or lower baffle 40 in the vertical direction during the layering process, terminal 80 can directly push the upper baffle 10 or lower baffle 40 away to ensure sufficient layering space. When terminal 80 needs to be adjusted after being clamped by clamping plate 62, since the upper connecting plate 8 and lower connecting plate 20 are fixed to side plate 52, the upper connecting plate 8 and lower connecting plate 20 can move left and right with side plate 52. When adjusting the distance of terminal 80, the upper connecting plate 8 and lower connecting plate 20 follow the side plate 52. Plate 52 moves together from right to left. At this time, the first inclined plane 81 and the second inclined plane move together to the left. The first inclined plane 81 presses against the first roller 70, causing the first roller 70 to move along the first inclined plane 81 from the lower end to the higher end. This drives the upper baffle 10 away from the lower baffle 40 while compressing the first spring 50. Simultaneously, the second inclined plane presses against the second roller, causing the second roller to move along the second inclined plane from the lower end to the higher end. This drives the lower baffle 40 away from the upper baffle 10 while compressing the second spring 60. In this way, the upper baffle 10 and the lower baffle 40 are in a state of mutual separation, providing unloading space for the terminals 80 after the layering and spacing adjustment is completed. After the terminal 80 is adjusted, the upper clamping assembly... When component 6 and lower clamping assembly 7 release terminal 80, terminal 80 can be removed. When reset is required, upper connecting plate 8 and lower connecting plate 20 move from left to right along with side plate 52. First inclined surface 81 and second inclined surface also move from left to right. At this time, first roller 70 moves along first inclined surface 81 from the high end to the low end. During this process, upper baffle 10 gradually approaches lower baffle 40 under the force of first spring 50. At the same time, second roller moves along second inclined surface from the high end to the low end. During this process, lower baffle 40 gradually approaches upper baffle 10 under the force of second spring 60, thus resetting upper auxiliary positioning assembly and lower auxiliary positioning assembly.It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first inclined surface 81 and the second inclined surface are mirror images of each other. The higher end of the second inclined surface refers to the end of the second inclined surface that is far away from the first inclined surface 81, and the lower end of the second inclined surface refers to the end of the second inclined surface that is close to the first inclined surface 81.
[0046] Optionally in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the stepped portion 612 is smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning protrusion 611.
[0047] Operating Procedure: First, insert a single row of terminals 80 into the gap between the upper baffle 10 and the lower baffle 40, and confirm the position of the terminals 80 through the observation port, ensuring that the terminals 80 are aligned with the clamping pieces 62. Then, the upper clamping assembly 6 moves closer to the lower clamping assembly 7 under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 2, and the lower clamping assembly 7 moves closer to the upper clamping assembly 6 under the drive of the second lifting mechanism. The clamping pieces on the upper clamping assembly 6 and the lower clamping assembly 7 clamp the terminals 80, and the terminals 80 are layered using the clamping pieces 62 arranged in alternating lengths. Then, the linear drive mechanism drives the side plate 52 to move from right to left. The side plate 52 pushes the stepped shaft 61 and the positioning piece 65 to move from right to left. At this time, the clamping pieces 62 move from right to left under the push of the positioning piece 65 and stick together, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance of the terminals 80. At the same time, the upper connection... The plate 8 and the lower connecting plate 20 also move from right to left under the drive of the side plate 52, and drive the upper baffle 10 and the lower baffle 40 away from each other to make room for the unloading of the terminal 80. Then, the upper clamping assembly 6 moves away from the lower clamping assembly 7 under the drive of the first lifting mechanism 2, and the lower clamping assembly 7 moves away from the upper clamping assembly 6 under the drive of the second lifting mechanism. After the terminal 80 is released, it is removed and then carried out for subsequent processing. Then, the side plate 52 moves from left to right under the drive of the linear drive mechanism. The side plate 52 pushes the stepped shaft 61 and the positioning member 65 to move from left to right and drives the clamping piece 62 to reset. At the same time, the upper connecting plate 8 and the lower connecting plate 20 also move from left to right under the drive of the side plate 52, and realize the reset of the upper baffle 10 and the lower baffle 40. This process is repeated to realize the automated layering and spacing adjustment of the terminal 80.
[0048] The terminal layering and spacing adjustment device in this embodiment has the advantage of a high degree of automation.
