Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing equipment technology, specifically to a processing equipment for RAST connectors. Background Technology

[0002] RAST is an international terminal block standard for the home appliance industry, an abbreviation of the German term "Raster-Anschluss-Steck Technik" (Pitched Connector Technology). RAST connectors feature unique design characteristics. Firstly, they can quickly and easily mate with PCBs, simplifying wiring in confined spaces, while a reliable locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection. Secondly, their Insulation Piercing Connector (IDC) design further enables rapid connection. The advantage of IDC is that the wires do not need to be stripped; they can be directly crimped to the terminals to form an electrical connection.

[0003] The manufacturing process for RAST connectors with a piercing structure involves fitting a top cover to a base, with a piercing terminal installed between them. The wire is then inserted into the wire hole in the base. Manually pressing the top cover causes it to move the piercing terminal towards the wire, piercing it and creating an electrical connection. However, this entirely manual manufacturing method is inefficient.

[0004] Furthermore, several decoding protrusions are provided at the top of the cover. These protrusions work together to form a decoding structure, which serves as a device identification mechanism, such as displaying "0" or "1". The device can then determine the number of wires in the RAST connector. The relationship between the decoding protrusions and the number of wires can be configured according to actual needs. In existing technologies, the decoding protrusions are also manually cut. During this process, carelessness by the operator can easily damage the RAST connector (the process is irreversible). Therefore, improving the processing efficiency of RAST connectors has become a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to improve the processing efficiency of RAST connectors. A processing device for RAST connectors includes:

[0006] A connecting strip, wherein the connecting strip is fixed with a plurality of bases, top covers and piercing terminals, the bases and top covers are fitted together, the piercing terminals are housed between the bases and top covers, and the bases and adjacent top covers are connected by a connecting part;

[0007] Feeding channel, one end of the connecting material belt enters the feeding channel;

[0008] A first feeding mechanism, comprising a first driving structure, wherein the first driving structure drives the connecting material belt to move toward the feeding channel;

[0009] A processing channel, which is connected to the feeding channel, wherein one end of the connecting material belt passes through the feeding channel and enters the processing channel;

[0010] A first cutting mechanism, a crimping mechanism, and a decoder cutting mechanism are fixed along the processing channel. The first cutting mechanism includes a first cutting blade, which cuts the connecting part to form a semi-finished product. The crimping mechanism includes a first crimping member and a wire detection module. The wire is inserted into the wire hole of the base, and the first crimping member is riveted to the upper cover, driving the upper cover to move the piercing terminal toward the wire. The wire detection module includes a detection member, which detects the position of the wire. The decoder cutting mechanism includes a second cutting blade, which cuts the decoding protrusion of the upper cover.

[0011] The second feeding mechanism drives the semi-finished product to move along the processing channel;

[0012] A control mechanism that controls the second cutting blade to cut based on data detected by the detection element.

[0013] The second feeding mechanism includes at least two sets of second driving mechanisms, with an intersection between adjacent sets of second driving mechanisms.

[0014] The number of the second drive mechanism is two sets, namely the second drive mechanism I and the second drive mechanism II. The second drive mechanism I and the second drive mechanism II have different structures.

[0015] It also includes a positioning structure, which cooperates with the first cutting mechanism. The positioning structure includes a support member and an elastic positioning member. The side wall of the support member is provided with a positioning edge. The bottom surface of the base is in contact with the top surface of the support member. The connecting part is located above the positioning edge. The elastic positioning member abuts against the side of the base away from the connecting part. The first cutting blade moves vertically downward along the direction of the inner wall of the positioning edge.

[0016] The first cutting mechanism further includes a positioning guide, which is in contact with the outer wall of the first cutting blade.

[0017] It also includes an adjusting component and a push plate, the sidewall of which is part of the feeding channel, and the position of the adjusting component and the push plate is used to increase or decrease the width of the feeding channel.

[0018] The crimping mechanism includes a wire crimping module, which includes a wire crimping member. The wire crimping member has several through holes corresponding to the wire threading holes, through which the wire extends to the wire threading holes.

[0019] It also includes a third drive mechanism and an eccentric wheel mechanism. The third drive mechanism drives the second cutting blade to slide along the processing channel; the eccentric wheel mechanism drives the second cutting blade to perform a cutting action.

[0020] It also includes a waste collector, which includes a vacuum generator, a waste receiving component, and a collection pipe. The waste receiving component cooperates with the second cutting blade, one end of the collection pipe is connected to the waste receiving component, and the vacuum generator is connected to the other end of the collection pipe.

[0021] It also includes a housing, on which the first feeding mechanism, the first cutting mechanism, the pressing mechanism, and the decoder cutting mechanism are all fixed.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. This utility model provides a processing device for RAST connectors. This device first uses a first cutting blade to cut the connecting portion of the connecting strip into semi-finished products. Then, a crimping operation is performed to establish an electrical connection between the semi-finished products and the wires. Finally, a second cutting blade cuts off the decoding protrusions, ultimately forming a RAST connector with the wires fixed in place. This device combines cutting, crimping, and decoder cutting processes, achieving automated (or semi-automated) mechanical processing, reducing production steps, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0024] 2. The RAST connector processing equipment provided by this utility model reduces the feeding difficulty and improves the overall work efficiency by cooperating with multiple sets of second drive mechanisms. Alternatively, a conveyor belt structure or a turntable structure can also be used.

[0025] 3. The RAST connector processing equipment provided by this utility model has a second drive mechanism I and a second drive mechanism II with different structures, which can better cooperate to achieve the effect of driving and feeding.

[0026] 4. The RAST connector processing equipment provided by this utility model has a positioning structure that can accurately position the cutting point before cutting. The positioning structure can absorb the plastic deviation of the connecting material strip to the maximum extent, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the cutting size. It can greatly reduce the number of times the product size needs to be modified and reduce the impact of the injection molding process on the product size. Theoretically, it can absorb the deviation of the product width size by 0.1mm, which can significantly reduce the time for line change and debugging.

[0027] 5. This utility model provides a processing equipment for RAST connectors. The width of the feeding channel can be adjusted by moving the push plate, thereby realizing the processing of RAST connectors of different sizes and meeting the needs of processing RAST connectors with different pin counts. In addition, the push plate can also be driven by a lead screw structure.

[0028] 6. The RAST connector processing equipment provided by this utility model, through the setting of the crimping component, forms a pre-positioning and fixing effect on the wire, so that the wire will not move during the crimping process, thereby improving the crimping quality.

[0029] 7. The present invention provides a processing equipment for RAST connectors. The third drive mechanism cooperates with the eccentric wheel mechanism to achieve the cutting effect of decoding protrusions at different positions. The eccentric wheel mechanism can achieve high-speed and precise cutting, and can achieve more than 5 cutting actions per second.

[0030] 8. The present invention provides a processing equipment for RAST connectors, wherein the waste collector forms a vacuum suction operation to collect and process the waste generated by cutting.

[0031] 9. The present invention provides a processing equipment for RAST connectors, in which all mechanisms are fixed on the housing, and then the housing is placed on the table. The structure is precise and compact, miniaturized, occupies little space, and is convenient to use and maintain. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This embodiment provides a processing device for RAST connectors, as shown in the attached document. Figures 1-9 As shown, it includes:

[0050] The connecting strip 11 is fixed with several bases 12, top covers 13, and piercing terminals 14. The bases 12 and top covers 13 mate, specifically, the bases 12 and top covers 13 are pre-installed, not fully engaged. The piercing terminals 14 are housed between the bases 12 and top covers 13, but are not fixed in place and can still move towards the bases 12. One base 12, one top cover 13, and one piercing terminal 14 together form a RAST connector. The base 12 is connected to the adjacent top cover 13 via a connecting part 15, thereby enabling connection between two adjacent RAST connectors. Here, the base 12 and the adjacent top cover 13 are integrally injection molded to form a single injection molded part. Then, the piercing terminals 14 are placed inside the base 12. By splicing two adjacent injection molded parts (with the base 12 of one injection molded part mates with the top cover 13 of the adjacent injection molded part), the connecting strip 11 is finally formed. The processing and assembly of the connecting strip 11 are not related to this embodiment, and the connecting strip 11 can be formed by machine assembly.

[0051] Feeding channel 16, one end of the material conveyor belt 11 enters the feeding channel 16, and the material conveyor belt 11 performs a feeding operation.

[0052] The first feeding mechanism includes a first drive structure 17, which drives the connecting material belt 11 to move towards the feeding channel 16. Here, the first drive structure 17 can be a conveyor belt, a feeding mechanism, a rotating material tray, or a pulling feeding mechanism (pulling the front end of the connecting material belt 11). Those skilled in the art can adjust the corresponding drive structure according to actual needs to make the connecting material belt 11 move towards the feeding channel 16. In this embodiment, since the connecting material belt 11 has a stepped structure and the feeding channel 16 has a ramp structure, the first drive structure 17 includes a first drive source 171 and a first push rod 172. The first drive source 171 drives the first push rod 172 to move, and the first push rod 172 pushes the RAST connector located at the end of the feeding channel 16 to the processing channel. Here, the first drive source 171 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, or something else.

[0053] Processing channel 18 is connected to feeding channel 16. One end of the material belt 11 passes through feeding channel 16 and enters processing channel 18. Specifically, it is pushed to processing channel 18 by the first drive structure 17.

[0054] A first cutting mechanism 19, a pressing mechanism 20, and a decoder cutting mechanism are fixed along the processing channel 18. The first cutting mechanism 19 is located at the connection between the processing channel 18 and the feeding channel 16. The first cutting mechanism 19 includes a first cutting blade 191, which cuts the connecting part 15 to form a semi-finished product. Here, the first cutting blade 191 moves vertically up and down, specifically driven by a drive source, which can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, or other drive structure.

[0055] The crimping mechanism 20 is located between the first cutting mechanism 19 and the decoder cutting mechanism 21. That is, after the first cutting blade 191 completes the cutting, the semi-finished product moves along the processing channel 18 to below the crimping mechanism 20. The crimping mechanism 20 includes a first crimping member 201 and a wire detection module 202. The wire passes through the wire hole 121 of the base 12. The first crimping member 201 is riveted to the upper cover 13, driving the upper cover 13 to move the piercing terminal 14 toward the wire. Here, the first crimping member 201 also moves vertically up and down, specifically driven by a drive source, which can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, motor, or other drive structure. The wire detection module 202 includes a detection member 2021, which detects the wire position, that is, whether there is a wire in the wire hole 121. For example, if the base 12 has four wire holes 121, but there are only three wires, the detection member 2021 needs to detect which wire hole 121 is empty. The detection element 2021 here can be a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, or a physical detection method. For example, the detection element 2021 can be an elastic pin; when the pin comes into contact with the wire, a force is generated, and a pressure sensor can be attached to the rear end of the pin for detection. In addition, those skilled in the art can use other detection methods.

[0056] The decoder cutting mechanism 21 is located at the end of the processing channel 18. In this embodiment, the first cutting mechanism 19 is located at the right end of the three mechanisms, the crimping mechanism 20 is located in the middle, and the decoder cutting mechanism 21 is located at the left end. The processing steps are also the same: first, it passes through the first cutting mechanism 19, then through the crimping mechanism 20, and finally through the decoder cutting mechanism 21. The decoder cutting mechanism 21 includes a second cutting blade 211, which cuts the decoding protrusions 131 on the top cover 13. Several decoding protrusions 131 cooperate to form a decoding structure. The decoding structure serves as a device identification function. For example, the digital code "0, 1", where 1 represents the presence of a decoding protrusion 131 and 0 represents the absence of a decoding protrusion 131. The combination of 0 and 1 forms a string of decoded numbers. In addition, decoded numbers can also be formed according to different numbers and positions of wires. The device can identify the device through the decoding above.

[0057] The second feeding mechanism drives the semi-finished product to move along the processing channel 18. The second feeding mechanism can be a conveyor belt or other conveying methods. When the semi-finished product moves to the bottom of the corresponding mechanism, it stops moving.

[0058] The control mechanism controls the second cutting blade 211 to cut based on the data detected by the detection component 2021. In other words, the number of wires is related to the number of decoding protrusions 131. The relationship between the two can be that one decoding protrusion 131 corresponds to one wire, or the number of decoding protrusions 131 and the number of wires can form a mathematical relationship, such as the digital code "0, 1".

[0059] This processing equipment first uses a first cutting blade 191 to cut the connecting part 15 of the connecting strip 11, forming semi-finished products. Then, a crimping operation (i.e., crimping the wires) is performed to create an electrical connection between the semi-finished products and the wires. Finally, a second cutting blade 211 cuts the decoding protrusion 131, ultimately forming a RAST connector with the wires fixed in place. This equipment combines the cutting, crimping, and decoder cutting processes to achieve automated (or semi-automated) mechanical processing, reducing production steps and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5 As shown, the second feeding mechanism includes at least two sets of second drive mechanisms, with an intersection between adjacent sets. Specifically, this intersection refers to the overlap in the movement of the second drive mechanisms along the processing channel 18. For example, one set of second drive mechanisms moves the semi-finished product below the pressing mechanism 20, while the other set moves the pressed semi-finished product below the decoder cutting mechanism 21. By cooperating with multiple sets of second drive mechanisms, the feeding difficulty is reduced, and overall work efficiency is improved. Alternatively, a conveyor belt structure or a turntable structure can also be used.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5As shown, there are two sets of second driving mechanisms, namely second driving mechanism I22 and second driving mechanism II23. The structures of second driving mechanism I22 and second driving mechanism II23 are different. The different structures of second driving mechanism I22 and second driving mechanism II23 allow for better coordination and achieve a single-drive feeding effect. Second driving mechanism I22 moves the semi-finished product from below the first cutting mechanism 19 to below the pressing mechanism 20. Second driving mechanism II23 moves the pressed semi-finished product from below the pressing mechanism 20 to below the decoder cutting mechanism 21. In this embodiment, second driving mechanism I22 includes a second driving source 221 and a second push rod 222. The second driving source 221 and the second push rod 222 cooperate to drive the second push rod 222, which in turn pushes the semi-finished product along the processing channel 18 to below the pressing mechanism 20. The structure of the second drive mechanism II23 differs from that of the second drive mechanism I22. The second drive mechanism II23 includes a third drive source 231 and an elastic push rod 232. Here, the elastic push rod 232 moves in the direction perpendicular to the processing channel 18; that is, the elastic push rod 232 can pass through the bottom surface of the processing channel 18 and enter the processing channel 18, or it can move downwards under force. Specifically, the elastic push rod 232 is a spring that cooperates with the push rod component. The third drive source 231 drives the elastic push rod 232 to move along the direction of the processing channel 18. Here, the bottom surface of the processing channel 18 is provided with a groove 181, through which the elastic push rod 232 enters the processing channel 18. When the second push rod 222 pushes the semi-finished product to the pressing mechanism 20, the second push rod 222 passes above the groove 181. In frontal projection, the right end of the groove 181 extends beyond the rightmost end of the pressing mechanism 20, thus forming an intersection. During the crimping process, the elastic push rod 232, under its elastic action, can slide along the bottom surface of the semi-finished product to the right end of the semi-finished product (at this time, the second push rod 222 has been reset for the next step). After the crimping is completed, the first crimping member 201 is reset, and no force is applied to the crimped semi-finished product. The elastic push rod 232 moves to the left, thereby moving the semi-finished product to below the decoder cutting mechanism 21. After the decoder cuts the product, the next semi-finished product that needs to be cut by the decoder is transported to the position, which will push the cut product to move to the left. A collector can be set at the leftmost end of the processing channel 18, or it can be collected manually. In addition, a second drive mechanism III can be set up, which drives the cut product to move to the left.

[0062] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 7As shown, it also includes a positioning structure, which cooperates with the first cutting mechanism 19. The positioning structure includes a support member 24 and an elastic positioning member 25. The sidewall of the support member 24 is provided with a positioning edge 241. The bottom surface of the base 12 is in contact with the top surface of the support member 24, and the rear side of the base 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning edge 241. The connecting part 15 is located above the positioning edge 241. The elastic positioning member 25 abuts against the side of the base 12 away from the connecting part 15. In this embodiment, the elastic positioning member 25 is located at the front side, and the elastic positioning member 25 abuts against the front side of the base 12. The first cutting blade 191 moves vertically downward along the direction of the inner wall of the positioning edge 241. The positioning structure allows for precise positioning of the cutting point before cutting. It also maximizes the absorption of plastic deviations in the connecting material strip 11, ensuring stable and effective cutting dimensions. This significantly reduces the number of mold modifications required and minimizes the impact of the injection molding process on product dimensions. Theoretically, it can absorb a 0.1mm deviation in product width, significantly reducing line changeover and debugging time. The elastic positioning element 25 is specifically a combination of a rotating element 251, a shaft, and an elastic element 252. The shaft passes through the rotating element 251, causing it to rotate relative to the rotating element. One end of the elastic element 252 abuts against the front side of the support element 24, while the other end of the elastic element 252 is located at one end of the rotating element 251. The other end of the rotating element 251 acts on the front side of the base 12, achieving an elastic abutment effect. When the semi-finished product moves, the elastic element 252 contracts, and due to the presence of the positioning edge 241, it forms a front and rear limit for the semi-finished product.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 7-8 As shown, the first cutting mechanism 19 also includes a positioning guide 192, which is in contact with the outer wall of the first cutting blade 191. The positioning guide 192 provides a further positioning effect, improving the cutting accuracy.

[0064] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 3As shown, the system also includes an adjusting member 26 and a push plate 27. The sidewall of the push plate 27 is part of the feeding channel 16, and the push plate 27 can slide relative to the feeding channel 16, that is, the push plate 27 can slide relative to the housing. The push plate 27 and the top surface of the housing can be connected by a slide rail and a slider. The position of the adjusting member 26 and the push plate 27 is used to increase or decrease the width of the feeding channel 16. Moving the push plate 27 can adjust the width of the feeding channel 16, thereby realizing the production of connecting strips 11 of different sizes to meet the processing of RAST connectors with different pin numbers. In this embodiment, the adjusting member 26 is provided with a first fixing hole 261, and the push plate 27 is provided with a plurality of arrayed second fixing holes 271. The first fixing hole 261 cooperates with different second fixing holes 271 (by bolts passing through the first fixing hole 261 and cooperating with the second fixing holes 271) to form feeding channels 16 of different widths. The adjusting component 26 can also be fitted onto a guide rail, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing. The adjusting component 26 slides along the guide rail. Alternatively, the push plate 27 can be driven by a lead screw structure, and the movement distance of the push plate 27 can be controlled by a control mechanism.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-6 As shown, the crimping mechanism 20 includes a wire crimping module, which includes a wire crimping member 28. The wire crimping member 28 has several through holes 281 corresponding to the wire threading holes 121. The wire passes through the through holes 281 and extends to the wire threading holes 121. The wire crimping member 28 provides a pre-positioning and fixing effect for the wire, preventing movement of the wire during crimping and improving the crimping quality. The wire crimping member 28 is also driven by a drive source, which can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, motor, or other drive structure.

[0066] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 6 , Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a third drive mechanism 29 and an eccentric wheel mechanism 30. The third drive mechanism 29 drives the second cutting blade 211 to slide along the processing channel 18; the eccentric wheel mechanism 30 drives the second cutting blade 211 to perform a cutting action. The third drive mechanism 29 and the eccentric wheel mechanism 30 cooperate to achieve the cutting effect of the decoding protrusion 131 at different positions. Using the eccentric wheel mechanism 30, high-speed and precise cutting can be achieved, with more than 5 cutting actions per second. In this embodiment, the eccentric wheel mechanism 30 drives the second cutting blade 211 to perform an eccentric motion. Specifically, the eccentric wheel mechanism 30 cooperates with the second cutting blade 211 through an eccentric wheel and a linkage. The eccentric wheel drives the linkage to move, and the lower end of the linkage is connected to the second cutting blade 211. The third drive mechanism 29 drives the second cutting blade 211 and the eccentric wheel mechanism 30 to slide together along the processing channel 18. Here, the third drive mechanism 29 can be a KK module or other drive structures (such as a lead screw drive structure).

[0067] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 2 As shown, the system also includes a waste collector, which comprises a vacuum generator, a waste receiving component 31, and a collection pipe 32. The waste receiving component 31 cooperates with the second cutting blade 211. One end of the collection pipe 32 is connected to the waste receiving component 31, and the vacuum generator is connected to the other end of the collection pipe 32. The waste collector performs a vacuum suction operation to collect and process the waste generated during cutting (the waste formed by the second cutting blade 211 cutting the decoding protrusion 131). In this embodiment, the vacuum generator is not shown in the accompanying drawings, but those skilled in the art should know the installation location of the vacuum generator.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the wire feeding can be done by a multi-axis robot or manually, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual needs.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-6 As shown, the system also includes a housing 33, with the first feeding mechanism, the first cutting mechanism 19, the crimping mechanism 20, and the decoder cutting mechanism 21 all fixed to the top surface of the housing 33. All mechanisms are fixed to the housing 33, which can be placed directly on a table. The structure is precise, compact, and miniaturized, occupying little space and facilitating use and maintenance. It should be noted that the second drive mechanism II 23 is partially located inside the housing 33, with the elastic push rod 232 extending upwards through the top surface of the housing 33. Furthermore, wiring can be installed inside the housing 33, and the control mechanism can also be housed within it.

[0070] Specifically, this processing equipment is also equipped with several sensors. For example, the sensors can sense the position of the material conveyor belt 11, the position of the semi-finished product conveyor, the position of the first cutting blade 191, the position of the second cutting blade 211, and so on. These sensors can be infrared sensors or photoelectric sensors.

[0071] Specifically, the control mechanism is controlled by a PLC. In this embodiment, a control box 34 is also included, in which the control mechanism is housed, and the control box 34 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the box body 33.

[0072] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
