Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector production and testing technology, specifically an automated connector production device. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, also known as plugs, sockets, and connectors, generally refer to electrical connectors. They are devices that connect two active devices, transmitting current or signals. Their function is to bridge gaps in a circuit or between isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function.

[0003] Connectors require connectivity testing during the production process. Current testing methods require connecting both ends of the connector to the input and output terminals of the test, which is not convenient for batch and continuous testing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated connector production device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an automated connector production device, including a base, a central groove on the top of the base, a material conveying assembly for conveying connectors installed in the central groove, a top frame fixed on the top of the base, a bidirectional drive assembly installed on the top of the top frame, side blocks connected to the bottom of the two moving ends of the bidirectional drive assembly, detection terminals fixed on the adjacent side walls of the two side blocks, a side groove on one side of the central groove, a rotating mechanism installed in the side groove, a stop rod slidably sleeved on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism, a sliding positioning assembly fixed on the inner wall of the side groove, and a limiting groove with a limiting cooperation with one end of the sliding positioning assembly on one end of the stop rod.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: the feeding assembly sequentially conveys the connectors to be inspected, while the stop rod stops the connectors. The bidirectional drive assembly then moves the detection terminals on the two side blocks closer together, allowing the two detection terminals to connect the stopped connector end-to-end for connectivity testing. After the test, the bidirectional drive assembly resets the detection terminals on the two side blocks and disengages them from the connector. The stop rod, driven by the rotation mechanism, flips and releases its stopping effect on the connector. The feeding assembly then removes the inspected connector from the base, and the next connector is inspected, achieving batch inspection of connectors. Additionally, the stop rod can be moved along the sliding positioning assembly for position adjustment, facilitating the centering and stopping of connectors of different widths.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor fixed in the side groove, the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed with a rotating shaft, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is provided with a guide groove that slides and limits with the stop rod.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that the drive motor can drive the stop rod on the rotating shaft to rotate, and the guide groove can facilitate the sliding and limiting of the stop rod.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding positioning assembly includes a guide rod fixed to the inner wall of the side groove, a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the guide rod, a limiting block fixed on one side of the sliding sleeve that abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove, and a positioning bolt threaded into the top of the sliding sleeve that abuts against the outer wall of the guide rod.

[0010] The above components achieve the following effects: the guide rod can guide the sliding sleeve and the limiting block to slide; the limiting block can cooperate with the limiting groove to limit the stop rod when it flips; and the positioning bolt can lock the limiting block, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning and adjusting the lateral position of the stop rod.

[0011] Preferably, the bidirectional drive assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw rotatably mounted on the top frame, with drive blocks fixed at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw and connected to the side blocks, and a forward and reverse motor connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the forward and reverse motors can drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the side blocks at the bottom of the two drive blocks to move closer or further apart, thus achieving the driving purpose of the detection terminals.

[0013] Preferably, a slot is provided on one side of the bottom end of the drive block, a snap-fit ​​component is installed in the slot, a snap-fit ​​block adapted to the slot is fixed on the top of the side block, and a stop groove is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​block to limit the snap-fit ​​component.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the snap-fit ​​parts can be used to assemble and connect the side blocks with the snap-fit ​​blocks, so as to facilitate the replacement of the test terminals and make them suitable for the test of different connectors.

[0015] Preferably, the material conveying assembly includes two rotating rollers rotatably mounted in the central trough, a conveyor belt is driven between the two rotating rollers, and a material conveying motor is connected to the end shaft of one of the rotating rollers.

[0017] This utility model provides an automated connector production device through improvements, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] This invention utilizes a feeding assembly to sequentially transport connectors to be tested, while a stop bar prevents the connectors from moving. A bidirectional drive assembly then moves the detection terminals on the two side blocks closer together, allowing the two detection terminals to connect the stopped connector end-to-end for connectivity testing. After testing, the bidirectional drive assembly resets the detection terminals on the two side blocks and disengages them from the connector. The stop bar, driven by a rotating mechanism, flips and releases its blocking effect on the connector. The feeding assembly then removes the tested connector from the base, allowing for the testing of the next connector, thus achieving batch testing of connectors. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] This utility model provides an automated connector production device through improvements. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an automated connector production device includes a base 1 with a central groove 2 on its top. A conveying assembly 3 for conveying connectors is installed within the central groove 2. The conveying assembly 3 includes two rotating rollers rotatably mounted within the central groove 2, with a conveyor belt driven between the two rollers. One of the rollers has a conveying motor connected to its end shaft. The conveying motor, in conjunction with the rotating rollers, drives the conveyor belt to convey the connectors. A top frame 5 is fixed to the top of the base 1, and a bidirectional drive assembly 6 is mounted on the top of the top frame 5. Side blocks 7 are connected to the bottom of the two moving ends of the bidirectional drive assembly 6. Detection terminals 8 are fixed on the adjacent sidewalls of the two side blocks 7. A side groove 14 is formed on one side of the central groove 2, and a rotating mechanism 13 is installed within the side groove 14. The rotating mechanism 13 includes a drive motor 131 fixed within the side groove 14. A rotating shaft 132 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 131. A guide groove 133, which slides and limits the movement of a stop rod 4, is formed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 132. The rotating mechanism 13 can drive the stop rod 4 on the rotating shaft 132 to rotate, and the guide groove 133 can facilitate the sliding and limiting operation of the stop rod 4. The stop rod 4 is slidably sleeved on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism 13. A sliding positioning assembly 11 is fixed on the inner wall of the side groove 14. The sliding positioning assembly 11 includes a guide rod 111 fixed to the inner wall of the side groove 14. A sliding sleeve 112 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 111. A limiting block 113 that abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 12 is fixed on one side of the sliding sleeve 112. The top of the sleeve 112 is threaded with a positioning bolt that abuts against the outer wall of the guide rod 111. The guide rod 111 can slide and guide the sleeve 112 and the limiting block 113. The limiting block 113 can cooperate with the limiting groove 12 to limit the stop rod 4 when it is flipped. The positioning bolt can lock the limiting block 113 to achieve the purpose of positioning and adjusting the lateral position of the stop rod 4. One end of the stop rod 4 is provided with a limiting groove 12 that cooperates with one end of the sliding positioning component 11.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the bidirectional drive assembly 6 includes a bidirectional lead screw rotatably mounted on the top frame 5. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are fixed with drive blocks connected to the side blocks 7. One end of the bidirectional lead screw is connected to a forward and reverse motor. The forward and reverse motors can drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the side blocks 7 at the bottom of the two drive blocks to move closer or further apart, thus achieving the driving purpose of the detection terminal 8.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, a slot is provided on one side of the bottom end of the drive block, and a snap-fit ​​component 9 is installed in the slot. A snap-fit ​​block 10 that is adapted to the slot is fixed on the top of the side block 7.

[0030] The working principle of the automated connector production device provided by this utility model is as follows: The conveying motor, in conjunction with the rotating roller, drives the conveyor belt to transport the connectors to be tested sequentially. The stop rod 4 stops the connectors. The forward and reverse motors drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the side blocks 7 at the bottom of the two drive blocks to move closer to each other. This causes the detection terminals 8 on the two side blocks 7 to move closer to each other, so that the two detection terminals 8 connect the connectors end to end after they are stopped, and perform a connection test on the connectors. After the test is completed, the bidirectional drive assembly 6 drives the detection terminals 8 on the two side blocks 7 to reset and disengage from the connectors. The drive motor 131 drives the stop rod 4 on the rotating shaft 132 to rotate and release the stop action on the connectors. The conveying assembly 3 takes the tested connectors out of the base 1 and then performs the test on the next connector, thus achieving the purpose of batch testing of connectors.
