Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical connector manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an automatic iron shell removal device for electrical connectors. Background Technology

[0002] An electrical connector is a device used to connect two conductors, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. It typically consists of two parts: a plug (called a free-end connector) and a socket (called a fixed-end connector). Electrical connectors achieve the connection and disconnection of circuits through mating and disassembly, and are widely used in various electrical circuits to connect or disconnect current or signals.

[0003] USB connectors are a type of electrical connector primarily used to connect computers and external devices, enabling data transmission and power supply. USB connectors typically consist of a metal shell, an insulator, and contacts. During USB manufacturing, the metal shell is usually manually removed from the mounting bracket. This process is labor-intensive and inefficient, impacting subsequent USB connector production.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide an automatic iron shell removal device for electrical connectors.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic iron shell removal device for electrical connectors, which can solve the problem of low iron shell removal efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An automatic iron shell removal device for electrical connectors includes: a frame, a feeding mechanism, multiple removal mechanisms, and a pair of blocking mechanisms;

[0009] The material conveying mechanism is mounted on the frame. The material conveying mechanism includes a pair of vertical plates, a guide mechanism is connected between the pair of vertical plates, a bracket is mounted on a pair of side walls of the vertical plates, a top plate is connected between multiple brackets, and a drive mechanism is mounted on the top plate.

[0010] Multiple removal mechanisms are staggered and installed on the top plate, and the removal mechanisms are used to remove the iron shell;

[0011] A pair of material blocking mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material conveying mechanism. Each material blocking mechanism includes a material blocking plate, and a first material blocking roller and a second material blocking roller are rotatably connected to the material blocking plate.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a funnel is installed on the frame, the funnel is located below the material conveying mechanism, and a collection box is provided below the funnel. The iron shell removed by the removal mechanism falls into the collection box through the funnel for collection.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the vertical plate is provided with a notch for installing a flow channel plate;

[0014] The guiding mechanism includes a flow channel plate and a guide clamp plate. The flow channel plate is installed in a pair of notches and is used to guide and support the iron shell fixing frame. The guide clamp plate is installed at the port of the pair of notches and is used to limit the iron shell fixing frame so that the iron shell can be removed by the removal mechanism.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a support column is installed on the frame, the flow channel plate is in contact with the support column, and the support column is used to support the flow channel plate to ensure that the flow channel plate can stably guide and support the iron shell fixing frame.

[0016] A pair of support plates are symmetrically connected to the support column, and the guide clamp is connected to the pair of support plates. The support plates are used to support the guide clamp and ensure the stability of the guide clamp during use.

[0017] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, guide blocks are connected to both side walls of the top plate. The guide blocks are located on the upper side of the notch and correspond to the flow channel plate and the guide clamp. The guide blocks are used to limit the iron shell fixing frame and ensure that the iron shell fixing frame can move smoothly on the flow channel plate and the guide clamp.

[0018] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a base, on which a driving motor is mounted, and the output end of the driving motor is connected to a driving pulley. When the driving motor is running, it can drive the driving pulley to rotate.

[0019] A pair of rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the base. One end of each rotating shaft passes through the top plate. A driven pulley is connected to one of the rotating shafts. A drive belt connects the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the drive pulley rotates, the drive belt can drive one of the driven pulleys to rotate, which in turn can drive one of the rotating shafts to rotate.

[0020] The rotating shaft is equipped with gears and a linkage pulley. A pair of gears mesh with each other. Because the pair of gears mesh with each other, when one of the rotating shafts rotates, it can drive the other rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation directions of the pair of rotating shafts are opposite, which in turn causes the pair of linkage pulleys to rotate in opposite directions.

[0021] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the lower top wall of the top plate is connected to a plurality of auxiliary pulleys and a plurality of guide bars. The auxiliary pulleys are used to install the conveyor belt, and the guide bars are used to guide the iron shell fixing frame.

[0022] The auxiliary pulleys and guide strips are staggered. A conveyor belt connects the auxiliary pulleys and the linkage pulleys on the same straight line. When the linkage pulley rotates, the conveyor belt can drive the auxiliary pulleys on the same straight line to rotate. Since there are two conveyor belts and they rotate in opposite directions, when the iron shell fixing frame is placed between a pair of conveyor belts, the friction between the conveyor belt and the iron shell fixing frame will drive the iron shell fixing frame to move on the flow channel plate and the guide clamp.

[0023] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the removal mechanism includes a fixed plate, and an mounting plate is slidably connected to the lower side of the fixed plate. When the mounting plate and the fixed plate are relatively displaced, the stroke of the removal wheel can be adjusted so that the removal wheel can better remove the iron shell.

[0024] A base plate is connected to the mounting plate. A support plate is connected to a pair of side walls of the base plate. A reinforcing plate is connected between the pair of support plates. A pair of through slots are provided on the support plates. A metal rod is fixedly connected in the through slots. The metal rod is used to connect to one end of the spring.

[0025] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the bottom plate and the reinforcing plate are rotatably connected to the opposite side of each other with a support arm, and a removal wheel is rotatably connected to the support arm. When the iron shell fixing frame moves on the flow channel plate and the guide clamp plate, the iron shell is removed by squeezing the iron shell with the removal wheel.

[0026] A pair of support arms are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the guide clamp, and a linkage rod is connected between the pair of support arms. The linkage rod can realize the linkage between the upper and lower pair of support arms, ensuring that the movement state between the upper and lower pair of support arms is the same.

[0027] The other end of the support arm is connected to a pin, and a spring is connected between the pin and a pair of metal rods. The spring can be used to make the support arm rebound.

[0028] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, an adjusting handle is installed on the fixed plate, a round rod is connected to the adjusting handle, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the round rod. The pressing plate corresponds to the mounting plate. When the adjusting handle is rotated, the round rod drives the pressing plate to move. When the pressing plate exerts a force on the mounting plate, the fixed plate and the mounting plate can undergo relative displacement, thereby realizing the adjustment of the removal wheel stroke so as to remove iron shells of different models.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic iron shell removal device for electrical connectors, which can remove the iron shell from the fixing frame, thereby improving the removal efficiency of the iron shell, facilitating the subsequent rapid processing of USB connectors, and reducing the workload of workers to a certain extent.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an automatic metal shell removal device for an electrical connector according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2, multiple removal mechanisms 3, and a pair of blocking mechanisms 4.

[0045] The frame 1 is equipped with a funnel 101, which is located below the material conveying mechanism 2. A collection box 102 is located below the funnel 101. The iron shells removed by the removal mechanism 3 fall into the collection box 102 through the funnel 101 for collection.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 is installed on the frame 1. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to guide the movement of the iron shell fixing frame, and at the same time, it is used to install several removal mechanisms 3 so that the iron shell can be removed by using the removal mechanisms 3, thereby improving the removal efficiency of the iron shell, facilitating the subsequent rapid processing of the USB connector, and reducing the workload of the staff to a certain extent.

[0047] The material conveying mechanism 2 includes a pair of vertical plates 201, with notches on the vertical plates 201 for installing flow channel plates 202.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a guide mechanism is connected between a pair of vertical plates 201. The guide mechanism can guide the movement of the iron shell fixing frame so that the iron shell can be removed by the removal mechanism 3.

[0049] The guiding mechanism includes a flow channel plate 202 and a guide clamping plate 203. The flow channel plate 202 is installed in a pair of notches and is used to guide and support the iron shell fixing frame. The guide clamping plate 203 is installed at the ends of the pair of notches and is used to limit the iron shell fixing frame so that the iron shell can be removed by the removal mechanism 3. Figure 2 The state shown.

[0050] Additionally, a support column 204 is installed on the frame 1, and the flow channel plate 202 contacts the support column 204. The support column 204 supports the flow channel plate 202 to ensure that the flow channel plate 202 can stably guide and support the iron shell fixing frame. A pair of support plates 2041 are symmetrically connected to the support column 204, and the guide clamp 203 is connected to the pair of support plates 2041. The support plates 2041 support the guide clamp 203 to ensure the stability of the guide clamp 203 during use.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a bracket 205 is installed on each of the two side walls of the vertical plate 201, and a top plate 206 is connected between the multiple brackets 205. The top plate 206 is used to install several removal mechanisms 3.

[0052] The top plate 206 has guide blocks 2061 connected to both sidewalls. The guide blocks 2061 are located on the upper side of the notch and correspond to the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamping plate 203. Figure 2 As shown, the guide block 2061 is used to limit the iron shell fixing frame, that is, the iron shell fixing frame will be limited between the flow channel plate 202, the guide clamping plate 203 and the guide block 2061, ensuring that the iron shell fixing frame can move smoothly on the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamping plate 203.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a drive mechanism is installed on the top plate 206. The drive mechanism can move the iron shell fixing frame. In conjunction with the action of several removal mechanisms 3, the iron shell can be removed, which can reduce the burden on the staff and improve the removal efficiency of the iron shell.

[0054] The drive mechanism includes a base 207, on which a drive motor 208 is mounted. The drive motor 208 is a V90 servo motor with the following specifications: rated current: 11.6A, rated torque (100K): 6.37Nm, rated power: 2.00kW, speed: 5000rpm, torque: 19.10Nm, current: 34.8A, static torque: 6.37Nm, and moment of inertia: 2.820kgcm. 2 The output end of the drive motor 208 is connected to the drive pulley 2081. When the drive motor 208 is running, it can drive the drive pulley 2081 to rotate.

[0055] Additionally, a pair of rotating shafts 209 are rotatably connected to the base 207. One end of each shaft 209 passes through the top plate 206. A driven pulley 2091 is connected to one of the shafts 209, and a drive belt connects the drive pulley 2081 and the driven pulley 2091. When the drive pulley 2081 rotates, the drive belt drives one of the driven pulleys 2091 to rotate, which in turn drives one of the shafts 209 to rotate.

[0056] Specifically, a gear 2092 and a pulley 2093 are mounted on the rotating shaft 209, and the pair of gears 2092 mesh with each other. Since the pair of gears 2092 mesh with each other, when one of the rotating shafts 209 rotates, it can drive the other rotating shaft 209 to rotate, and the rotation directions of the pair of rotating shafts 209 are opposite, which in turn causes the pair of pulleys 2093 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the top wall of the top plate 206 is connected to several auxiliary pulleys 210 and several guide bars 211. The auxiliary pulleys 210 are used to install the conveyor belt 212, and the guide bars 211 are used to guide the iron shell fixing frame.

[0058] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the auxiliary pulleys 210 and guide bars 211 are staggered. Several auxiliary pulleys 210 on the same straight line are connected to the linkage pulley 2093 by two conveyor belts 212. When the linkage pulley 2093 rotates, the conveyor belts 212 can drive the several auxiliary pulleys 210 on the same straight line to rotate. Since there are two conveyor belts 212 and they rotate in opposite directions, when the iron shell fixing frame is placed between a pair of conveyor belts 212, the friction between the conveyor belts 212 and the iron shell fixing frame will drive the iron shell fixing frame to move on the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamp plate 203.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, multiple removal mechanisms 3 are installed in a staggered manner on the top plate 206. The removal mechanisms 3 are used to remove the iron shell.

[0060] The removal mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 301, and a mounting plate 302 is slidably connected to the lower side of the fixed plate 301. When the mounting plate 302 and the fixed plate 301 are relatively displaced, the stroke of the removal wheel 307 can be adjusted so that the removal wheel 307 can better remove the iron shell.

[0061] In addition, a base plate 303 is connected to the mounting plate 302. A pair of support plates 304 are connected to the side walls of the base plate 303. A reinforcing plate 305 is connected between the pair of support plates 304. A pair of through slots 3041 are provided through the support plates 304. A metal rod 3042 is fixedly connected in the through slots 3041. The metal rod 3042 is used to connect to one end of the spring 308.

[0062] Specifically, support arms 306 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the base plate 303 and the reinforcing plate 305, and removal wheels 307 are rotatably connected to the support arms 306. When the iron shell fixing frame moves on the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamp plate 203, the removal wheels 307 will squeeze the iron shell to separate the iron shell from the iron shell fixing frame, thereby realizing the removal of the iron shell. Since the removal wheels 307 are rotatably connected to the support arms 306, jamming is less likely to occur.

[0063] In addition, a pair of support arms 306 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the guide clamp 203, and a linkage rod 312 connects the pair of support arms 306. The linkage rod 312 can realize the linkage between the upper and lower pair of support arms 306, ensuring that the movement state between the upper and lower pair of support arms 306 is the same.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the other end of the support arm 306 is connected to a pin, and springs 308 are connected between the pin and a pair of metal rods 3042. The springs 308 can be used to make the support arm 306 rebound, so that the removal wheel 307 is less likely to exert hard pressure on the iron shell.

[0065] The fixed plate 301 is equipped with an adjusting handle 309, and a round rod 310 is connected to the adjusting handle 309. A pressing plate 311 is fixedly connected to the round rod 310, and the pressing plate 311 corresponds to the mounting plate 302. When the adjusting handle 309 is rotated, the round rod 310 drives the pressing plate 311 to move. When the pressing plate 311 exerts a force on the mounting plate 302, the fixed plate 301 and the mounting plate 302 can undergo relative displacement, thereby realizing the adjustment of the stroke of the removal wheel 307 to remove different types of iron shells.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a pair of material blocking mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material conveying mechanism 2. The material blocking mechanism 4 includes a material blocking plate 401, on which a first material blocking roller 402 and a second material blocking roller 403 are rotatably connected. The iron shell fixing frame will also pass through the gap between the first material blocking roller 402 and the second material blocking roller 403, thereby ensuring that the iron shell fixing frame can pass smoothly through the material conveying mechanism 2 so that the iron shell can be removed by the removal mechanism 3.

[0067] In practical use, the iron shell fixing frame moves between the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamp plate 203 under the action of the drive mechanism. That is, when the drive motor 208 runs, it can drive the drive pulley 2081 to rotate. The drive pulley 2081 can drive one of the driven pulleys 2091 to rotate, which in turn can drive one of the rotating shafts 209 to rotate. Since a pair of gears 2092 mesh with each other, when one of the rotating shafts 209 rotates, it can drive the other rotating shaft 209 to rotate, and the rotation directions of the pair of rotating shafts 209 are opposite. Then, the conveyor belt 212 can drive several auxiliary pulleys 210 on the same straight line to rotate. Since there are two conveyor belts 212 and they rotate in opposite directions, when the iron shell fixing frame is placed between the pair of conveyor belts 212, the friction between the conveyor belts 212 and the iron shell fixing frame will drive the iron shell fixing frame to move.

[0068] When the iron shell holder moves between the flow channel plate 202 and the guide clamp plate 203, the iron shell can be removed by the pre-set support arm 306 and removal wheel 307. That is, multiple removal wheels 307 will squeeze the iron shell on the iron shell holder to separate the iron shell from the iron shell holder, thereby realizing the removal of the iron shell. The removed iron shell is collected in the collection box 102 through the funnel 101.

[0069] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0070] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
