Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector sealing plug assembly technology, specifically, to an assembly tooling for electrical connector sealing plugs. Background Technology
[0002] After the electrical connector is assembled, if there are any unused contacts, they need to be assembled according to the original specifications and plugged with sealing plugs to ensure airtightness.
[0003] Traditional sealing plug installation methods involve using contact pick-and-place tools or needle-nose pliers to operate the sealing plug. However, this method has the following technical problems: the length of the tail of each sealing plug protruding from the connector after assembly is difficult to standardize, and the installation position is prone to exceeding the process limitations, making it difficult to meet the standard requirements for sealing plug installation.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, workers need to repeatedly adjust the position of each sealing plug, which consumes a lot of time and results in low efficiency. In addition, when adjusting sealing plugs that are installed too low (with the tail already embedded in the sealing body), it is impossible to use pliers to remove them. A ploughing bar must be inserted from the end face of the connector to push them out, which carries the risk of damaging the connector sealing body. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical objective of this utility model is to provide an assembly tooling for electrical connector sealing plugs that is simple in structure and conducive to improving the assembly accuracy of sealing plugs, in order to address the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An assembly fixture for an electrical connector sealing plug, wherein the electrical connector has a plurality of mounting holes for mounting the sealing plug; the sealing plug has a head and a tail connected together, wherein the diameter of the head is larger than the diameter of the tail;
[0008] The assembly fixture has a guide post and a limiting post connected together. The diameter of the guide post is the same as the diameter of the sealing plug head, and the diameter of the limiting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole.
[0009] The guide post has an inner hole at one end away from the limiting post, and the inner hole extends into the limiting post; the diameter of the inner hole is the same as the diameter of the tail of the sealing plug, and the depth of the inner hole is the same as the length of the tail of the sealing plug; the inner hole is used to install the sealing plug.
[0010] The sealing plug is installed in place, with its head abutting against the guide post and its tail abutting against the bottom of the inner hole.
[0011] The above-mentioned technical measures involve installing the sealing plug into the inner hole, so that the head of the sealing plug abuts against the guide post and the tail of the sealing plug abuts against the bottom of the inner hole. This pushes the limiting post, causing the guide post to push the sealing plug into the mounting hole on the electrical connector. Since the diameter of the limiting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, when the end face of the limiting post contacts the surface of the connector, it can effectively limit the further movement of the guide post, thereby achieving the positioning of the sealing plug inserted into the mounting hole and helping to ensure that the positions of each sealing plug in the mounting hole are consistent.
[0012] The assembly tooling in the above-mentioned technical measures has two advantages: firstly, its simple structure helps reduce costs; secondly, its simple operation helps improve the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the sealing plug.
[0013] Furthermore, a handle post is connected to the end of the limiting post away from the guide post, and the handle post is used to apply a pushing / pulling force to the limiting post.
[0014] The above-mentioned technical measures, by setting up a handle column, are simple to operate and make it easy for operators to apply pushing / pulling force, which helps to improve convenience.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide post, the limiting post, and the handle post are integrally formed.
[0016] The aforementioned technical measures involve the guide post, limit post, and handle post forming a single molded structure, which is simple in structure and easy to mold.
[0017] Furthermore, the guide post, the limiting post, the handle post, and the inner hole are all cylindrical structures.
[0018] The aforementioned technical measures include cylindrical structures for the guide post, limit post, handle post, and inner hole, which ensures that the assembly tooling matches the sealing plug and mounting hole, facilitating operation.
[0019] Furthermore, the diameter of the handle post is larger than the diameter of the limiting post.
[0020] In the above technical measures, the diameter of the handle post is larger than the diameter of the limit post, which helps to improve the operator's comfort during use and makes it easier to apply push / pull force.
[0021] Furthermore, the guide post, the limiting post, and the handle post are all made of stainless steel.
[0022] The aforementioned technical measures, including the guide post, limit post, and handle post, are all made of stainless steel, which helps to enhance structural strength, improve durability, and reduce costs.
[0023] Furthermore, the electrical connector is a J599 series electrical connector.
[0024] Furthermore, the head and tail of the sealing plug are integrally formed.
[0025] One or more technical solutions provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0026] This invention installs a sealing plug into the inner hole, with the head of the sealing plug abutting against the guide post and the tail of the sealing plug abutting against the bottom of the inner hole. This pushes the limiting post, causing the guide post to push the sealing plug into the mounting hole on the electrical connector. Since the diameter of the limiting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, when the end face of the limiting post contacts the surface of the connector, it can effectively limit the further movement of the guide post, thereby achieving the positioning of the sealing plug inserted into the mounting hole and helping to ensure that the positions of each sealing plug in the mounting hole are consistent.
[0027] The assembly fixture in this utility model has two advantages: firstly, its simple structure helps reduce costs; secondly, its simple operation helps improve the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the sealing plug. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features within them can be combined with each other.
[0033] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides an assembly fixture for sealing plugs of electrical connectors. The electrical connector is a J599 series electrical connector with multiple mounting holes for installing sealing plugs. The sealing plug has a head and a tail connected together. The head and tail of the sealing plug are integrally formed, and the diameter of the head is larger than the diameter of the tail.
[0035] The assembly fixture has a guide post 3 and a limiting post 2 connected together. The diameter of the guide post 3 is the same as the diameter of the sealing plug head, and the diameter of the limiting post 2 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole.
[0036] The guide post 3 has an inner hole 4 at the end away from the limiting post 2, and the inner hole 4 extends into the limiting post 2; the diameter of the inner hole 4 is the same as the diameter of the tail of the sealing plug, and the depth of the inner hole 4 is the same as the length of the tail of the sealing plug; the inner hole 4 is used to install the sealing plug.
[0037] The sealing plug is installed in place, with its head abutting against the guide post 3 and its tail abutting against the bottom of the inner hole 4.
[0038] The end of the limiting post 2 away from the guide post 3 is connected to a handle post 1, which is used to apply a pushing / pulling force to the limiting post 2.
[0039] The guide post 3, the limit post 2, and the handle post 1 are integrally formed; the guide post 3, the limit post 2, and the handle post 1 are all made of stainless steel.
[0040] The guide post 3, the limiting post 2, the handle post 1, and the inner hole 4 are all cylindrical structures.
[0041] The diameter of handle post 1 is larger than the diameter of limit post 2.
[0042] During application, the operator inserts the sealing plug into the inner hole 4, so that the head of the sealing plug abuts against the guide post 3 and the tail of the sealing plug abuts against the bottom of the inner hole 4. The sealing plug head is aligned with the mounting hole on the electrical connector. The operator pushes the handle post 1, thereby pushing the limiting post 2 and the guide post 3 in sequence. The guide post 3 pushes the sealing plug into the mounting hole. When the limiting post 2 contacts the connector, it restricts the guide post 3 from moving further. Then the operator pulls the handle post 1, thereby pulling the limiting post 2 and the guide post 3 in sequence, removing the assembly fixture, and completing the installation of a single sealing plug. This process is repeated to continue installing the next sealing plug, so that the assembly positions of each sealing plug in the mounting hole are consistent, meeting the process requirements.
