Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal crimping machine technology, and more specifically to a flexible flat cable crimping machine with a material carrier that can move back and forth and left and right. Background Technology

[0002] FFC flexible flat cable has multiple wires, each with a terminal connected to it. The wires and terminals are assembled using an automatic terminal crimping machine.

[0003] Specifically, for FFC flexible flat cables, the terminals are crimped onto the wire using a terminal crimping machine during assembly. Traditional terminal crimping machines grip the wire with mechanical clamps and then transport it to the crimping station for crimping. However, traditional terminal crimping machines process single wires, which can be gripped by mechanical clamps. FFC flexible flat cables are flat wires composed of multiple wires, making them unsuitable for mechanical gripping. Furthermore, during the crimping process, the movement of the FFC flexible flat cable needs to be controlled. After crimping one wire, the machine needs to move to another station to crimp the second wire, which is something that the mechanical clamps of current terminal crimping machines cannot achieve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a flexible flat cable crimping machine with a material carrier that can move back and forth and left and right.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] A flexible flat cable crimping machine with a material carrier that can move forward, backward, left, and right. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes: an X-moving component 100 installed on the machine tool 00, a Y-moving component 200 installed on the X-moving component 100, and a platform 300 installed on the Y-moving component 200; the X-moving component 100 and the Y-moving component 200 cooperate to control the platform 300 to move in the X and Y directions.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the machine 00 can be placed on the ground or combined with a certain device and installed on the device's panel; the machine 00 mainly serves as a carrier.

[0036] The X-moving component 100 includes: an X-track 110 mounted on the machine tool 00, a first mounting plate 120 assembled on the X-track 110, and a first motor 130 fixed below the machine tool 00; the output shaft of the first motor 130 is connected to a first lead screw 131.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two X-tracks 110 are symmetrically arranged. The first mounting plate 120 is mounted on the X-track 110 via the first slider 111. The bottom of the first mounting plate 120 is provided with a first lead screw nut 132, which is sleeved on the first lead screw 131. The first motor 130 is mounted on the machine base 00, specifically at the bottom of the machine base 00, which can reduce the overall height of the X-moving component 100 above the machine base 00.

[0038] The first lead screw 131 is parallel to the X track 110, and an auxiliary bearing is provided at the connection between the first lead screw 131 and the first mounting plate 120.

[0039] The first motor 130 drives the first lead screw 131 to rotate, pushing the first mounting plate 120 to move linearly along the X track 110.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the Y-movement assembly 200 includes: a Y-track 210 mounted on a first mounting plate 120, a second mounting plate 220 mounted on the Y-track 210, and a second motor 230 fixed on the second mounting plate 220; the output shaft of the second motor 230 is connected to a second lead screw 231.

[0041] Specifically, two Y-tracks 210 are symmetrically arranged, and the Y-tracks 210 and X-tracks 110 are perpendicular to each other. The second mounting plate 220 is mounted on the Y-tracks 210 via the second slider 211.

[0042] The bottom of the second mounting plate 220 is provided with a second lead screw nut 232, which is sleeved on the second lead screw 231. An auxiliary bearing is also provided at the connection between the second lead screw 231 and the second mounting plate 220. The second motor 230 is mounted on the second mounting plate 220 and drives the second lead screw 231 to rotate, thereby pushing the second mounting plate 220 to move linearly along the Y track 210.

[0043] Furthermore, the stage 300 is mounted on the second mounting plate 220. The upper surface of the stage 300 is provided with a material trough 301. The stage 300 is provided with an airflow channel 302, which is connected to the material trough 301. The airflow channel 302 is connected to the suction assembly 500.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the material trough 301 has a certain width to accommodate the width of the FFC flexible flat cable. It may be equal to or greater than the width of the FFC flexible flat cable. Preferably, the width of the material trough 301 is equal to the width of the FFC flexible flat cable.

[0045] It should be noted that, Figure 6 The horizontal direction is the width of the material trough 301, and the vertical direction is the length of the material trough 301.

[0046] Multiple airflow channels 302 are provided in connection with the material tank 301. The air inlet of the airflow channel 302 is located on the inner bottom surface of the material tank 301, and the air outlet is located on the bottom surface or side surface of the platform 300.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the material tank 301 has 3 sets of air inlets in the width direction, which can evenly adsorb the front end of the FFC flexible flat cable (i.e. the end that needs to be crimped).

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the airflow channel 302 extends vertically, and one airflow channel 302 corresponds to a set of air inlets, such as... Figure 6 In the middle, the two vertical air intakes 3021 form a group. Figure 6If there are 3 sets, the platform 300 is equipped with three airflow channels 302, and the airflow channels 302 have multiple air outlets 3022. When in use, only one air outlet 3022 needs to be connected to the suction component 500 through a pipe, and the other air outlets 3022 can be sealed with a sealing head.

[0049] The intake assembly 500 uses existing technology, and its specific principles will not be described in detail.

[0050] In use, the FFC flexible flat cable 600 is placed in the material tank 301. The suction component 500 operates to stably adsorb the FFC flexible flat cable 600 in the material tank 301. Then, the FFC flexible flat cable 600 is sent to the crimping terminal station by the X moving component 100 and the Y moving component 200.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned flexible flat cable crimping machine with a material carrier platform that can move forward, backward, left, and right.

[0052] It also includes: a terminal crimping assembly 400, a terminal feeding assembly 410, and a strip recycling assembly 420; a material carrier is installed on the machine base 00 and located in front of the terminal crimping assembly 400; the carrier 300 is moved to the terminal crimping station by the cooperation of the X-moving assembly 100 and the Y-moving assembly 200.

[0053] The terminal crimping assembly 400 is mainly used to crimp terminals onto the wire, the terminal feeding assembly 410 is mainly used to transfer terminals, multiple terminals are connected to the material strip, after the terminal crimping is completed, the terminals and the material strip are separated, and the material strip recycling assembly 420 recycles the material strip.

[0054] The aforementioned terminal crimping assembly 400, terminal feeding assembly 410, and strip recycling assembly 420 can employ existing technologies, and their specific principles will not be described in detail.

[0055] When using, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the Y-moving component 200 first controls the stage 300 to move in the Y direction, so that the stage 300 corresponds to the front of the terminal crimping component 400. Then, the X-moving component 100 controls the stage 300 to move in the X direction, so as to send the stage 300 to the terminal crimping component 400.

[0056] After the first wire of the FFC flexible flat cable is crimped, the Y-moving component 200 controls the platform 300 to move one position in the Y direction to the second wire for crimping. After all wires have been crimped, the Y-moving component 200 and the X-moving component 100 control the platform 300 to reset.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0058] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
