Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly equipment technology, specifically to a microphone socket terminal assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic equipment manufacturing, microphone jacks, as key components for audio signal transmission, directly affect the overall performance of the equipment due to their structural stability and electrical connection reliability. Microphone jacks typically consist of a jack housing and terminals. The terminals must be precisely assembled into the pre-set slots on the jack housing to ensure stable connection with the plug. Currently, the assembly process of microphone jack terminals largely relies on manual labor or semi-automated equipment. During manual assembly, operators must manually align the terminals with the mounting positions on the jack housing and press them together. This is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to problems such as terminal misalignment and uneven pressing force due to human error, thus affecting product consistency and yield. Therefore, developing an integrated assembly device that can automatically feed and stably press the jack housing and terminals together has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0032] This utility model provides a microphone socket terminal assembly machine.

[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-8The microphone socket terminal assembly machine includes a platform 1, a track 2, a feeding rail 3, a feeding mechanism 4, an assembly rail 5, a terminal feeding mechanism 6, a terminal pressing mechanism 7, and a moving mechanism 8. The feeding mechanism 4 is located at the end of the feeding rail and is used to transfer the socket housing on the feeding rail from the feeding rail to the assembly rail. The terminal feeding mechanism 6 includes a terminal feeding rail 600, a first bidirectional moving mechanism, and a terminal cylinder clamp 601 connected to the first bidirectional moving mechanism. The terminal pressing mechanism includes a mechanism for pressing the terminal placed into the socket housing by the terminal feeding mechanism into place. The moving mechanism 8 includes a second bidirectional moving mechanism, a horizontal plate 801 connected to the output end of the second bidirectional moving mechanism, and clamping plates 802 fixed at intervals on the horizontal plate. The top of the clamping plate is provided with a slot 803 adapted to the socket housing. The clamping plate includes at least a clamping plate 804 corresponding to the position of the feeding mechanism, a clamping plate 805 corresponding to the position of the terminal feeding mechanism, and a clamping plate 806 corresponding to the position of the terminal pressing mechanism.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the microphone socket terminal assembly machine uses a platform as the basic load-bearing component, and a track plate provides installation support for the assembly rail. The feeding rail is responsible for conveying the socket housing, and the feeding mechanism transfers the socket housing at the end of the feeding rail to the assembly rail. In the terminal feeding mechanism, terminals are conveyed via the terminal feeding rail. A first bidirectional moving mechanism drives the terminal cylinder clamp to move, clamping the terminals on the terminal feeding rail and transferring them into the socket housing. The terminal pressing mechanism presses the terminals placed in the socket housing to ensure proper installation. The second bidirectional moving mechanism of the moving mechanism drives the horizontal plate and clamping plate to move. The slots of the clamping plate are adapted to the socket housing, realizing the orderly transfer of the socket housing between processes. This achieves automated and continuous operation of the socket housing and terminals from feeding to assembly, reducing manual intervention and human error. The reasonable layout and cooperation of each mechanism ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the assembly process, improves product assembly quality and production efficiency, and provides an equipment foundation for large-scale production.

[0035] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a blocking and pushing mechanism and a pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 401 and a receiving plate 402 connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder. The receiving plate 402 is provided with a receiving groove 403 for accommodating the socket housing. A connecting groove 404 is provided between the feeding rail and the assembly rail for the receiving plate to pass through.

[0036] In this embodiment, the blocking and pushing mechanism of the feeding mechanism can block and push back the socket housing on the feeding rail to separate two adjacent socket housings at the end of the feeding rail, so as to prevent the two fitting socket housings from jamming with each other, which would prevent the socket housing from being pushed out smoothly by the pushing mechanism.

[0037] In the pushing mechanism, a pushing cylinder drives a receiving plate to move. The receiving plate's receiving groove accommodates the socket housing. Through the connecting groove between the feeding rail and the assembly rail, the receiving plate pushes the socket housing from the feeding rail to the assembly rail. This improves the accuracy and efficiency of the housing transfer from the feeding rail to the assembly rail, avoids push-out failures due to adjacent socket housings jamming, and reduces jamming and offset of the housing during the transfer process.

[0038] Specifically, the blocking and pushing mechanism includes a blocking cylinder 405 and a blocking block 406 connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 405. A blocking plate 407 is provided on the blocking block 406, and a retraction arc surface 408 is provided on the top of the blocking plate.

[0039] In this embodiment, the blocking cylinder of the blocking and pushing mechanism drives the blocking block to move, and the blocking plate on the blocking block blocks the socket housing. When the housing is obstructed during conveying, the retraction arc surface at the top of the blocking plate contacts the socket housing and guides the housing to retract appropriately, thereby separating and blocking two adjacent socket housings at the end of the feed rail.

[0040] Specifically, the first bidirectional moving mechanism includes a lead screw drive pair 603 fixed to the platform via a vertical plate 602, a stepper motor 604 driven by the lead screw of the lead screw drive pair 603, a mounting vertical plate 605 connected to the output slider of the lead screw drive pair, a lifting cylinder 606 fixed on the mounting vertical plate 605, a terminal cylinder mounting plate 607 connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 606, and a terminal cylinder clamp 608 fixedly mounted on the terminal cylinder mounting plate 607. The terminal cylinder mounting plate and the mounting vertical plate are connected by a slide rail slider assembly 609.

[0041] In this embodiment, in the first bidirectional moving mechanism, a stepper motor drives the lead screw of the lead screw transmission pair to rotate, thereby moving the output slider and causing the mounting vertical plate to move laterally. A lifting cylinder on the mounting vertical plate drives the terminal cylinder mounting plate to rise and fall. The terminal cylinder mounting plate is connected to the mounting vertical plate via a slide rail slider assembly to ensure the smoothness of the lifting process. The terminal cylinder clamp is fixed to the terminal cylinder mounting plate, enabling precise movement and gripping of the terminal in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0042] The lead screw drive, in conjunction with a stepper motor, enables precise lateral displacement control. This allows a single terminal feeding mechanism to accurately feed multiple terminals laterally. It eliminates the need for a dedicated terminal feeding station for each lateral terminal, effectively reducing equipment size and costs, balancing production efficiency with order volume, and improving both production space and equipment utilization.

[0043] Among them, the lifting cylinder enables stable vertical movement, the slide rail slider assembly improves the smoothness of the lifting process, and the three work together to enable the terminal cylinder clamp to accurately grab the terminal and move it to the designated position, improving the accuracy of terminal transfer and ensuring accurate docking between the terminal and the socket housing.

[0044] Specifically, the terminal pressing mechanism includes a pressing cylinder 701 fixed on the upright plate and a pressure plate 702 connected to the pressing cylinder 701. The pressure plate is provided with a pressing foot 703 corresponding to the terminal position.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pressing cylinder of the terminal pressing mechanism is fixed on the vertical plate, driving the pressure plate to move. The pressing foot on the pressure plate corresponds to the terminal position. Under the action of the pressing cylinder, the pressing foot applies pressure to the terminal, pressing the terminal into the preset position inside the socket housing.

[0046] Specifically, the terminal feeding rail is provided with a terminal receiving mechanism and a lifting mechanism for lifting the terminal at its end. The terminal receiving mechanism includes a terminal receiving cylinder 610 and a terminal receiving plate 611 connected to the output end of the terminal receiving cylinder 610. The terminal receiving plate is provided with a terminal slot 612 adapted to the terminal. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 613 and a lifting rod 614. The bottom of the terminal slot is provided with a through hole 615 for the lifting rod to pass through.

[0047] In this embodiment, in the terminal receiving mechanism at the end of the terminal feeding rail, the terminal receiving cylinder drives the terminal receiving plate to move, and the terminal slot of the terminal receiving plate receives the terminal. The lifting mechanism's lifting cylinder drives the lifting rod to rise, and the lifting rod passes through the through hole at the bottom of the terminal slot to lift the terminal, making it easier for the terminal cylinder to grip.

[0048] Specifically, the second bidirectional moving mechanism includes a vertical cylinder 808 fixed to the platform by a bracket 807, a cylinder frame 811 connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder 808, a horizontal cylinder 809 fixed to the cylinder frame, and a clamping plate 810 connected to the output end of the horizontal cylinder. The clamping plate and the clamping plate are fixedly connected.

[0049] In this embodiment, the vertical cylinder of the second bidirectional moving mechanism is fixed on the bracket, driving the horizontal cylinder to rise and fall. The horizontal cylinder drives the clamping plate fixing plate to move laterally. The clamping plate is fixedly connected to the clamping plate fixing plate, thereby realizing the vertical and horizontal movement of the clamping plate, which in turn drives the socket shell to move, making the transfer of the socket shell between processes more accurate and reliable, and improving the continuity of the overall assembly.

[0050] Specifically, there are two terminal feeding mechanisms and two terminal pressing mechanisms. For sockets with multiple terminals inside the housing, multiple terminal feeding mechanisms and multiple terminal pressing mechanisms can be provided to improve assembly efficiency.

[0051] The working principle of this application is as follows: When the equipment is working, the socket shell is conveyed via the feeding rail. The blocking and pushing mechanism of the feeding mechanism controls the conveying rhythm and simultaneously blocks and separates two closely fitting socket shells, facilitating the transfer of the end socket shell by the pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism pushes the socket shell to the assembly rail via the receiving plate. Then, the socket shell is fixed by the clamping slot of the moving mechanism, and the second bidirectional moving mechanism drives the shells to be conveyed sequentially.

[0052] The terminals are conveyed to the end via the terminal feeding rail, where they are received by the terminal receiving mechanism. The lifting mechanism lifts the terminals (to facilitate gripping by the terminal cylinder clamp), and the first bidirectional moving mechanism drives the terminal cylinder clamp to grab the terminals and move them into the housing. Subsequently, the moving mechanism sends the housing to the terminal pressing mechanism, where the pressing cylinder drives the pressing foot to press the terminals into place.

[0053] Attention all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
