Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic component processing, and in particular to a pin shaping device for plug-in components. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly of electronic components, the insertion of components into circuit boards is a very common process. In recent years, automated assembly technology has developed rapidly, with technologies such as vibratory feeder loading and robotic gripper handling being widely used in electronic assembly lines. The application of these automated technologies has greatly improved the overall efficiency and accuracy of electronic component assembly, reduced labor costs, and enabled the electronics industry to produce various electronic products more efficiently, bringing new opportunities for the large-scale development of the electronics industry and driving electronic equipment towards greater refinement and intelligence. At the same time, it has also promoted the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the electronics industry chain, driving the prosperity of related industries. In the field of electronic component assembly, especially in terms of pin spacing control and component shaping, there are two common methods. One is to manually apply insulating sleeves or pre-install plastic gaskets. Workers need to manually operate, applying insulating sleeves or installing plastic gaskets to each component one by one; this process relies entirely on manual assistance. The other is to adjust the shape and size of the pins, using specialized tools or equipment to process the pins, changing their original shape, thereby achieving precise spacing control between the component and the circuit board. This avoids the need for additional manual assistance with sleeves or gaskets. Furthermore, existing component shaping equipment mainly includes a shearing mechanism for cutting electronic component leads, an expansion mechanism for expanding electronic component leads, and a bending mechanism for bending electronic component leads. These multiple mechanisms perform various steps such as adjusting, shaping, and cutting the leads. Existing component shaping equipment has significant drawbacks: its multiple mechanisms operate independently, requiring components to complete one step before proceeding to the next. This results in poor processing continuity, gaps between processes, and accumulated time redundancy. The discontinuity in continuity leads to low overall component shaping efficiency, failing to meet the ever-increasing production demands. Utility Model Content

[0003] To enhance the processing continuity of component pins and improve the processing efficiency of component pin shaping, this application provides a pin shaping device for plug-in components.

[0004] A pin shaping device for plug-in components includes a frame with a continuously feeding mechanism on one side. The frame houses: a shaping mechanism comprising a pin expansion component, a pin bending component, and a pin shearing component arranged in a straight line, with the processing positions of each component linearly distributed; a synchronous drive mechanism including a linear sliding module and a synchronous drive component for driving the linear sliding module to reciprocate; the pin expansion component, pin bending component, and pin shearing component are all mounted on the linear sliding module to achieve synchronous linear movement of each component to the processing position for synchronous processing of the component; and a clamping and transferring mechanism for synchronously clamping and reciprocating linearly transferring the component to the processing position; the clamping and transferring mechanism includes a transfer component for transferring the component from the feeding mechanism to the shaping mechanism for processing. By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism can continuously supply material, ensuring the continuity of the shaping work, avoiding interruptions due to insufficient material supply, achieving automated processing, and improving processing efficiency. The pin expansion, pin bending, and pin shearing components in the forming mechanism are arranged in a straight line and can synchronously transfer components, allowing components to pass through each component sequentially during processing, achieving a continuous processing flow. Simultaneously, these components are mounted on a linear sliding module of the synchronous drive mechanism. The linear sliding module reciprocates at a preset frequency. Driven by the synchronous drive components, each component can synchronously move linearly to its corresponding processing position and synchronously process the components at its respective position, reducing waiting time and gaps between processes. After each component completes processing of its respective components, the clamping and transfer mechanism can simultaneously clamp and transfer the components from each component. Specifically, the clamping and transfer mechanism reciprocates at a preset frequency, regularly transferring the components from the forming feed end to the forming discharge end. Each component simultaneously processes and transfers multiple components synchronously, thereby achieving reciprocating linear transfer of the components. The transfer component also transfers components from the loading mechanism to the forming mechanism for processing at the same preset frequency as the clamping and transfer mechanism, further ensuring the smoothness of the processing. The combined synergistic effect of the above mechanisms enhances the continuity of component pin processing, reduces process interruptions and time redundancy, and thus effectively improves the processing efficiency of component pin forming. Preferably, the clamping and transfer mechanism further includes: multiple clamping and transfer components and transfer driving components arranged corresponding to the processing positions of each component. The transfer driving components drive the multiple clamping and transfer components to synchronously and linearly transfer the components at the processing positions of each component. By adopting the above technical solution, multiple clamping and conveying components and conveying drivers are set up corresponding to the processing positions of each component. The conveying drivers can drive these clamping and conveying components to synchronously and linearly convey the components at each processing position. This allows the components to be repeatedly conveyed to the next processing position when they are processed by different components such as lead expansion components, lead bending components, and lead shearing components.This design avoids the process fragmentation and time redundancy caused by the independent operation of each mechanism in existing technologies, thereby enhancing the processing continuity of component leads and improving the processing efficiency of component lead shaping. Preferably, the transfer drive includes a mounting plate and a drive cylinder for driving the mounting plate to reciprocate along the component transfer direction. All clamping and transfer components and the transfer assembly are evenly spaced on the mounting plate. By adopting the above technical solution, the drive cylinder in the transfer drive can drive the mounting plate to move along the component transfer direction. Since all clamping and transfer components and the transfer assembly are evenly spaced on the mounting plate, when the drive cylinder moves the mounting plate, it can ensure that each clamping and transfer component and the transfer assembly moves synchronously, thereby synchronously clamping and reciprocating linearly transferring the components at each component processing position, ensuring the continuity and synchronization of the component transfer process, and helping to improve the processing efficiency of the entire plug-in component lead shaping device. Preferably, the synchronous drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member arranged opposite to each other, and the linear sliding module includes a first slider and a second slider arranged opposite to each other. The first drive member and the second drive member respectively drive the first slider and the second slider to move closer to each other or further away from each other. By adopting the above technical solution, since the synchronous drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member arranged opposite to each other, and the linear sliding module includes a first slider and a second slider arranged opposite to each other, when the first drive member and the second drive member are working, they can drive the first slider and the second slider respectively. Because they are arranged opposite to each other, the first slider and the second slider can move closer to each other or further away from each other, so that the pin expansion assembly, pin bending assembly, and pin cutting assembly installed on the first slider and the second slider can move synchronously and linearly to the processing position, thereby performing synchronous processing of components, enhancing the processing continuity of component pins, and improving the processing efficiency of component pin shaping. Preferably, the frame is provided with a linear guide rail, and the first slider and the second slider are arranged opposite to each other on the linear guide rail and both reciprocate. By adopting the above technical solution, since the frame is equipped with a linear guide rail, and the first and second sliding members are arranged opposite to each other on the linear guide rail, the linear guide rail can provide an accurate and stable sliding path for the first and second sliding members. Under the drive of the synchronous drive component, the first and second sliding members can move closer or further away from each other along the linear guide rail, thereby driving the pin expansion component, pin bending component, pin shearing component and pin flattening component mounted on it to move synchronously to the processing position to process the components synchronously. This ensures the smoothness and consistency of the movement of each component and helps to improve the processing accuracy and efficiency of the pin shaping device for plug-in components.Preferably, the pin expansion assembly includes: a first expansion portion and a second expansion portion disposed opposite to each other. The first expansion portion is mounted on the first sliding member, and the second expansion portion is mounted on the second sliding member. The first expansion portion and the second expansion portion move closer to each other until they are directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member, thereby expanding the pins of the components held by the clamping and transferring member. By adopting the above technical solution, since the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are respectively mounted on the first sliding member and the second sliding member disposed opposite to each other, when the first driving member and the second driving member of the synchronous driving assembly drive the first sliding member and the second sliding member to move closer to each other, it will also drive the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion to move closer to each other until they move directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member. This allows for the expansion of the pins of the components held by the clamping and transferring member, thereby adjusting the pin spacing of the components and meeting actual processing requirements. Preferably, the pin bending assembly includes: a first bending portion and a second bending portion disposed opposite to each other. The first bending portion is mounted on the first sliding member, and the second bending portion is mounted on the second sliding member. The first bending portion and the second bending portion approach each other until they are directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member, and bend the pins of the component held by the clamping and transferring member. By adopting the above technical solution, since the first bending portion is mounted on the first sliding member and the second bending portion is mounted on the second sliding member, when the synchronous drive assembly drives the first sliding member and the second sliding member to approach each other, it will also drive the first bending portion and the second bending portion to approach each other until they move directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member. At this time, the pins of the component held by the clamping and transferring member can be bent, thereby realizing the bending and shaping function of the component pins, enhancing the continuity of component pin processing, and improving the processing efficiency of component pin shaping. Preferably, the pin trimming assembly includes: a first trimming part and a second trimming part disposed opposite to each other. The first trimming part is mounted on the first sliding member, and the second trimming part is mounted on the second sliding member. The first trimming part and the second trimming part approach each other to directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member, and trim the pins of the components on the clamping and transferring member. By adopting the above technical solution, when the first driving member and the second driving member of the synchronous driving assembly drive the first sliding member and the second sliding member to approach each other, the first trimming part and the second trimming part mounted on them also approach each other, and the pins of the components located at the corresponding clamping and transferring member can be trimmed. At the same time, in conjunction with the continuous feeding mechanism on the frame, the synchronous transfer of components by other components of the shaping mechanism, the synchronous driving mechanism to move each component synchronously to the processing position for synchronous processing, and the synchronous clamping and transferring mechanism to clamp and reciprocate linearly transfer components, the continuity of component pin processing is enhanced, and the processing efficiency of component pin shaping is improved.Preferably, the shaping mechanism further includes a pin flattening assembly, which includes a first flattening part and a second flattening part disposed opposite to each other. The first flattening part is mounted on the first sliding member, and the second flattening part is mounted on the second sliding member. The first flattening part and the second flattening part approach each other to directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring member, and bend the pins of the components of the clamping and transferring member. By adopting the above technical solution, in the component lead shaping device, the feeding mechanism continuously supplies materials, and the lead expansion component, lead bending component, and lead shearing component in the shaping mechanism are arranged in a straight line and synchronously transfer components. The synchronous drive mechanism drives each component to move synchronously in a straight line to the processing position to process the components synchronously. The clamping and transfer mechanism synchronously clamps and reciprocates linearly transfers the components at the processing positions of each component, which enhances the continuity of component lead processing and improves the processing efficiency of component lead shaping. The added lead flattening component, with its first flattening part and second flattening part respectively installed on the first and second sliding parts that are arranged opposite to each other and can be driven by the synchronous drive component, can approach each other to directly below the corresponding clamping and transfer parts to flatten the component leads, further improving the component lead shaping function and enhancing the accuracy and quality of lead shaping. Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder and a feeding assembly. The feeding assembly is connected to the outlet of the vibratory feeder, and the outlet end of the feeding assembly faces the inlet end of the shaping mechanism. The transfer assembly transfers the components from the outlet end of the feeding assembly to the processing position of the shaping mechanism for processing. By adopting the above technical solution, the vibratory feeder in the feeding mechanism can use vibration to arrange the components in an orderly manner and transport them to the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly, connected to the outlet of the vibratory feeder, can receive the components output from the vibratory feeder and further transport them to the shaping mechanism. Because the outlet end of the feeding assembly faces the inlet end of the shaping mechanism, the components can smoothly reach the vicinity of the shaping mechanism. The function of the transfer assembly is to accurately transfer the components located at the outlet end of the feeding assembly to the processing position of the shaping mechanism. This achieves efficient connection between the initial feeding stage and the shaping processing stage, ensuring continuous and stable feeding of the device, providing a foundation for subsequent lead shaping processing, and thus improving the overall efficiency of lead shaping for plug-in components.

[0005] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0006] 1. Since the feeding mechanism has the function of continuous feeding, and the material transfer component of the clamping and transferring mechanism can transfer the components supplied by the feeding mechanism to the forming mechanism in a timely manner, the material supply for component forming processing can be guaranteed to be continuous.

[0007] 2. Because the pin expansion component, pin bending component and pin shearing component of the shaping mechanism are arranged in a straight line, the synchronous drive mechanism can drive each component to move synchronously in a straight line to the processing position to process the components synchronously. At the same time, the reciprocating clamping and transfer mechanism can transfer the components synchronously, avoiding the problem of process separation when multiple mechanisms work independently in the traditional way. Therefore, it can enhance the processing continuity of component pins. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0013] This application provides a pin shaping device for plug-in components, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The device includes a frame 1, with a continuously feeding mechanism 2 on one side of the frame 1. The frame 1 is equipped with a synchronous drive mechanism 3, a shaping mechanism 4 mounted above the synchronous drive mechanism 3 and located at the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 2, and a clamping and transferring mechanism 5 located above the shaping mechanism 4. The shaping mechanism 4 is used to simultaneously perform multiple processing steps to shape the component leads. The synchronous drive mechanism 3 drives the shaping mechanism 4 to operate synchronously. The clamping and transferring mechanism 5 can reciprocate to synchronously transfer the components processed by the shaping mechanism 4 along a straight line to the discharge end. In this embodiment, the discharge end of the lead shaping device is provided with a guide groove 6 to guide the shaped components to the component collection point.

[0014] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a vibratory feeder 21 and a feeding assembly 22. The vibratory feeder 21 is generally made of metal or plastic and has a spiral track. It contains an electromagnetic vibrator, which drives the vibratory feeder 21 to vibrate via electromagnetic force, causing components to be arranged orderly on the spiral track and moved towards the discharge port with their heads facing upwards and their leads facing downwards. Its function is to continuously and stably supply components for subsequent processing. The feeding assembly 22 is a chain conveyor, mainly composed of chains, sprockets, and rollers. There are conveying gaps between the chains that can hold components and transport them along the X-axis. The chains rotate around the sprockets, driving the components placed on them to move. The feeding assembly 22 is connected to the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 21, with its discharge end facing the feed end of the forming mechanism 4. The clamping and transferring mechanism 5 transfers the components from the discharge end of the feeding assembly 22 to the processing position of the forming mechanism 4 for processing.

[0015] Specifically, the synchronous drive mechanism 3 of this embodiment includes a linear sliding module 31 for reciprocating movement along the Y-axis and a synchronous drive assembly 32. The synchronous drive assembly 32 includes a first drive member 321 and a second drive member 322 arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The linear sliding module 31 includes a first slider 311 and a second slider 312 arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The frame 1 is provided with two parallel linear guide rails 11 arranged along the X-axis and extending along the Y-axis. The first slider 311 and the second slider 312 are arranged opposite to each other on the linear guide rails 11 along the Y-axis. The linear guide rails 11 ensure the stability and accuracy of the linear movement of the first slider 311 and the second slider 312.

[0016] In this embodiment, both the first sliding member 311 and the second sliding member 312 are sliding plates, and are respectively connected to the first driving member 321 and the second driving member 322, driving them at the same frequency. The first driving member 321 and the second driving member 322 can be electric push rods or hydraulic cylinders. In this embodiment, an electric push rod is preferred, mainly composed of a motor, a screw, a nut, etc. The motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the nut to move linearly on the screw, thereby pushing the first sliding member 311 to move. The first driving member 321 and the second driving member 322 respectively drive the first sliding member 311 and the second sliding member 312 to move closer to or further away from each other along the Y-axis direction.

[0017] Reference Figure 3 Specifically, the shaping mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a pin expansion assembly 41, a pin bending assembly 42, a pin shearing assembly 43, a pin testing assembly 44, and two pin flattening assemblies 45. The pin expansion assembly 41 expands the distance between the two pins of the component; the pin bending assembly 42 bends the expanded pins to form a symmetrical bend shape in the middle; the pin shearing assembly 43 trims the lower ends of the bends; the pin testing assembly 44 performs conductivity tests on the pins to determine if they are good quality; and the pin flattening assembly 45 flattens the two pins to keep them parallel. In particular, all components in this embodiment are arranged linearly along the X-axis, with the processing positions of each component forming a straight line and the intervals between processing positions being equal. In this embodiment, the pin expansion assembly 41, pin bending assembly 42, pin testing assembly 44, one pin expansion assembly 41, one pin shearing assembly 43, and one pin flattening assembly 45 are all sequentially arranged along the X-axis, with the pin expansion assembly 41 positioned closer to the feeding assembly 22.

[0018] Therefore, each component can synchronously transfer components along a straight line. The linear sliding module 31 of the synchronous drive mechanism 3 is equipped with a pin expansion component 41, a pin bending component 42, and a pin shearing component 43. The synchronous drive component 32 drives the linear sliding module 31 to slide back and forth, allowing each component to synchronously move linearly to the processing position to synchronously process the components before resetting to prepare for the next round of processing. The clamping and transferring mechanism 5 can synchronously clamp and reciprocate linearly transfer the components at the processing positions of each component. The clamping and transferring mechanism 5 transfers the components from the feeding mechanism 2 to the shaping mechanism 4 for processing. In this way, the cooperation of each mechanism greatly improves the processing efficiency of component pin shaping, reduces time redundancy between processes, and enhances processing continuity. Because each component can process the components synchronously, the time wasted by sequentially performing individual steps in traditional equipment is avoided, making the processing process more compact and efficient.

[0019] The pin expansion assembly 41 includes a first expansion portion 411 and a second expansion portion 412 arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The first expansion portion 411 is mounted on the first sliding member 311 of the linear sliding module 31, and the second expansion portion 412 is mounted on the second sliding member 312. The first expansion portion 411 is a "V"-shaped limiting clamp 411a. When the first sliding member 311 and the second sliding member 312 approach each other under the action of the synchronous drive assembly 32, the first expansion portion 411 and the second expansion portion 412 approach each other until they are directly below the clamping and transferring mechanism 5. At this time, the wedge block 412a is inserted between the two pins of the component. As the two continue to approach each other, the distance between the two pins of the component gradually increases and abuts against the two inner sides of the "V"-shaped limiting clamp 411a respectively, so as to limit the two pins from continuing to expand and avoid the distance between the two pins from becoming too large. The two cooperate with each other to finally achieve reasonable expansion.

[0020] The pin bending assembly 42 includes a first bending portion 421 and a second bending portion 422 arranged opposite to each other. The first bending portion 421 can be a component with a bending mold, specifically a clamping plate 421a and a bending block 421b. Both sides of the bending block 421b are symmetrically designed to bend the pins at the required angles and shapes. The two clamping plates 421a are located on both sides of the bending block 421b and are connected to a cylinder installed on the first bending portion 421. Similarly, the first bending portion 421 is installed on the first sliding member 311, and the second bending portion 422 is installed on the second sliding member 312. When the two are close to each other and directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring mechanism 5, the bending block 421b is inserted between the two pins of the component. Then, driven by the cylinder, the two clamping plates 421a press the pins together from both sides, so that the two pins can completely fit the surface of the bending block 421b to obtain the corresponding bending shape.

[0021] The lead shearing assembly 43 includes a first shearing part 431 and a second shearing part 432 arranged opposite to each other. The first shearing part 431 is provided with a shearing groove 431a, and the second shearing part 432 is provided with a shearing blade 432a corresponding to the shearing groove 431a. The shearing blade 432a can be fitted into the shearing groove 431a. The shearing blade 432a is generally made of high-speed steel or hard alloy, and is sharp and durable. The first shearing part 431 is mounted on the first sliding member 311, and the second shearing part 432 is mounted on the second sliding member 312. When the first sliding member 311 and the second sliding member 312 move closer to each other to directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring mechanism 5, the shearing blade 432a approaches the component lead and then, corresponding to the position where the lower end of the lead needs to be cut, finally fits into the shearing groove 431a, so that the two leads of the component obtain the corresponding length.

[0022] In this embodiment, the number of clamping and transferring members 52 is equal to the number of processing positions to ensure orderly transfer of components. The pin testing assembly 44 includes a conductivity testing section 441 for testing components when energized, and a clamping section 442 for pressing against the components for testing purposes, both arranged opposite each other along the Y-axis. The conductivity testing section 441 is mounted on a first sliding member 311, and the clamping section 442 is mounted on a second sliding member 312. The conductivity testing section 441 and the clamping section 442 are brought close together, directly below their respective clamping and transferring members 52, to perform conductivity testing on the components.

[0023] Specifically, the pin flattening assembly 45 in this embodiment includes a first flattening portion 451 and a second flattening portion 452 arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. Both the first flattening portion 451 and the second flattening portion 452 in this embodiment have a cuboid structure. The first flattening portion 451 is mounted on the first sliding member 311, and the second flattening portion 452 is mounted on the second sliding member 312. When the first bending portion 421 and the second bending portion 422 approach each other and are directly below the corresponding clamping and transferring mechanism 5, the two flattening portions with cuboid structures simultaneously apply pressure to the pins of the component, flattening the pins and preventing them from misaligning. Specifically, the clamping and transferring mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a material transfer assembly 51, three clamping and transferring members 52, and a transfer drive member 53. The three clamping and transferring members 52 are respectively arranged above the pin expansion assembly 41, the pin bending assembly 42, and the pin shearing assembly 43 for multi-station synchronous clamping of components. The transfer component 51 can be a robotic arm or a vacuum suction cup; in this embodiment, a robotic arm is preferred. It typically consists of a robotic arm, grippers, etc. The robotic arm can be driven by a motor to move its joints, and the grippers can be pneumatic or electric, enabling flexible gripping and transfer of components. The transfer component 51 transfers the components from the discharge end of the feeding component 22 to the processing position of the forming mechanism 4 for processing. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gripping positions of the transfer component 51 and the three gripping and transferring members 52 are arranged at equal intervals, corresponding to the processing positions of each component, to achieve orderly transfer.

[0024] The transfer drive unit 53 includes a mounting plate 531 and a drive cylinder 532 for driving the mounting plate 531 to reciprocate along the X-axis. The drive cylinder 532 consists of a cylinder body, a piston, a piston rod, etc. Compressed air enters the cylinder body to drive the piston to move, and the piston rod drives the mounting plate 531 to reciprocate. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 531 is provided with four mounting holes. Three clamping and transferring components 52 and a material transfer assembly 51 pass through the mounting holes and are evenly spaced on the mounting plate 531. The transfer drive unit 53 drives the multiple clamping and transferring components 52 to linearly transfer the components at each processing position along the X-axis, realizing the reciprocating transfer of the components at each processing position.

[0025] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] First, the vibratory feeder 21 in the feeding mechanism 2 on one side of the frame 1 uses electromagnetic force to make the components arrange in an orderly manner on the spiral track and move towards the discharge port in a specific posture. The feeding assembly 22 composed of the chain conveyor is connected to the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 21 and conveys the components to the discharge end along the X-axis.

[0027] Then, the robotic arm of the clamping and transferring mechanism 5 transfers the components from the discharge end of the feeding assembly 22 to the shaping mechanism 4; in the shaping mechanism 4, the first and second expansion portions 412 of the pin expansion assembly 41 are driven by the electric push rod of the synchronous drive mechanism 3 along the Y-axis. The shafts move closer together, and wedge blocks are inserted between the pins to expand them. Next, the first and second bending portions 422 of the pin bending assembly 42 move closer together, and their bending molds apply pressure to the expanded pins, forming a symmetrical bending shape in the middle of the pins. The conductivity testing portion 441 and the clamping portion 442 of the pin testing assembly 44 move closer together to perform conductivity testing on the bent components. Subsequently, the first and second flattening portions 452 of the pin flattening assembly 45 move closer together to apply pressure to the pins with a cuboid structure to flatten them. Then, the first and second shearing portions 432 of the pin shearing assembly 43 move closer together, and the shearing blades close to trim the lower end of the bent shape of the pins. Finally, another pin flattening assembly 45 flattens the pins again, and the clamping and conveying mechanism 5 synchronously conveys the shaped components along a straight line to the guide trough 6 at the discharge end, guiding them to the component collection point.

[0028] Throughout the process, the synchronous drive mechanism 3 drives each component of the shaping mechanism 4 to move synchronously in a straight line to the processing position, and the clamping and transfer mechanism 5 clamps the components synchronously and transfers them in an orderly manner at each processing position. The cooperation between the mechanisms greatly improves the processing efficiency, reduces the redundancy of the process time, and enhances the continuity of the processing.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
