Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of crimping equipment, and more particularly to a crimping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of crimping processing for small workpieces such as electronic components and cable connectors, the reliance on crimping technology is increasing with the continuous development of the electronics industry. Crimping efficiency determines the production scale of a product; efficient crimping processes can meet the needs of large-scale production, thereby reducing production costs and improving market competitiveness. Therefore, the efficiency of crimping processing is crucial for product development.

[0003] In the past, products were typically crimped using manual or semi-automatic crimping equipment. Manual crimping relied mainly on the operator's experience, with pressure applied manually to complete the crimping process. Semi-automatic crimping equipment, on the other hand, incorporated mechanical power to automate the crimping action, improving efficiency and reducing the workload of workers to some extent.

[0004] However, these existing conventional crimping methods have significant drawbacks. Manual crimping is extremely inefficient, and due to human factors, the consistency of the crimped joints is poor. While semi-automatic crimping equipment improves efficiency, it still requires some manual assistance. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues of extremely low efficiency and poor consistency in manual crimping methods, and the continued need for manual assistance in semi-automatic crimping equipment, this application provides a crimping device.

[0006] The crimping device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A crimping device includes a worktable, a crimping assembly disposed on the worktable, a guide rail disposed directly below the crimping assembly, the guide rail sliding on the worktable, a workpiece disposed on the guide rail, a driving component fixed on the worktable and disposed parallel to the guide rail, a locking groove formed on the guide rail, a toggle component disposed on the driving component that cooperates with the locking groove to drive the guide rail to move, and a controller fixed on the worktable, the controller being electrically connected to the driving component and the crimping assembly respectively.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller activates the drive unit and the crimping assembly. This causes the drive unit to move the actuating component, which in turn moves the guide rail on the worktable. With the cooperation of the locking groove and the actuating component, the uncrimped workpiece on the guide rail is moved to below the crimping assembly. The crimping assembly then crimps the workpiece. This solution avoids the low efficiency and poor consistency problems of manual crimping, reduces the manual assistance required for semi-automatic crimping equipment, and improves crimping efficiency and the consistency of crimping quality.

[0008] Optionally, the crimping assembly includes a receiving platform fixed on the workbench, a crimping cylinder fixed on the receiving platform, and a pressing block fixed on the output end of the crimping cylinder, wherein the crimping cylinder is electrically connected to the controller.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the receiving platform can provide stable support for the crimping cylinder. The output end of the crimping cylinder drives the pressure block to move linearly, thereby accurately crimping the workpiece, improving the crimping quality and efficiency, and avoiding the problems of poor consistency and low efficiency of manual crimping.

[0010] Optionally, the locking slot is formed on the side of the dial rail near the drive component. Multiple locking slots are formed, and the multiple locking slots are continuously arranged along the length direction of the dial rail, and two adjacent locking slots form a stepped shape.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple continuous stepped locking slots can cooperate with the actuating component to realize the driving component driving the actuating component to move. Under the limitation of the locking slots, the actuating component accurately drives the guide rail to move, thereby moving the workpiece to be crimped to the bottom of the crimping component for crimping.

[0012] Optionally, the actuating assembly includes a mounting block that slides on the worktable, a lever that rotates on the mounting block, a spring member disposed between the lever and the mounting block, and a limiting block fixed on the mounting block to restrict the rotation of the lever. The mounting block is fixed to the output end of the driving member, and the lever forms an abutment restriction with the locking groove on the lever rail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation angle of the push block is limited by the action of the limiting block. Under the action of the elastic element, the push block is always in contact with the locking groove on the push rail. Under the abutment and restriction of the push block and the locking groove on the push rail, the drive component is activated, and the push block can drive the push rail to move, moving the workpiece to be pressed to below the pressing assembly.

[0014] Optionally, the elastic element is a spring, one end of which is fixed to the lever block and the other end of which is fixed to the mounting block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, using a spring as the elastic component, and fixing the two ends of the spring to the lever block and the mounting block respectively, the lever block can better engage with the locking groove on the lever rail under the action of elastic force.

[0016] Optionally, the driving component is a cylinder, the output end of which is fixed on the mounting block, and the cylinder is electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, using a cylinder as the driving component and fixing the output end to the mounting block, power can be provided for the movement of the dial rail, realizing the automated movement of the dial rail, thereby improving the automation level of the crimping device.

[0018] Optionally, the workbench is provided with a stop for restricting the movement of the mounting block, and a connecting rod is fixed on the stop, with the mounting block sleeved on the connecting rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the stop and connecting rod can limit the movement of the mounting block, ensuring the accuracy of its movement trajectory, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the guide rail movement and the reliability of the crimping process.

[0020] Optionally, the workpiece is configured as a plurality of workpieces, which are arranged on the dial rail at equal intervals along the length direction of the dial rail.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple workpieces are placed at equal intervals on a dial rail, and the dial rail is moved by the action of the cylinder and the dialing component, so that the workpieces to be crimped are moved to the bottom of the crimping component for crimping processing in sequence.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: Under the action of the spring, the push block is always in contact with the locking groove on the push rail; under the action of the drive component and the push block assembly, the push rail is driven to move, moving the workpiece to be crimped directly below the crimping assembly; then the crimping assembly realizes the crimping process of the workpiece. This application avoids manual operation, realizes a fully automated crimping process, and improves crimping efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0027] This application discloses a crimping device.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A crimping device includes a worktable 1, a crimping assembly 2, a guide rail 3, a workpiece 4, a drive component 5, an actuating component 7, and a controller 8. The crimping assembly 2 is mounted on the worktable 1, the guide rail 3 slides on the worktable 1 and is located directly below the crimping assembly 2, and the workpiece 4 is mounted on the guide rail 3. The drive component 5 is fixed to the worktable 1 and arranged parallel to the guide rail 3. The actuating component 7 is mounted on the drive component 5 and is used to move the guide rail 3. The controller 8 is fixed to the worktable 1 and is electrically connected to both the drive component 5 and the crimping assembly 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving component 5 is a cylinder. The cylinder body is fixed on the worktable 1 and arranged parallel to the dial rail 3. The output end of the cylinder is fixed on the actuating assembly 7, and the cylinder is electrically connected to the controller 8. The controller 8 starts the cylinder to work, and the extension and retraction of the piston rod drives the actuating assembly 7 to move.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 Multiple workpieces 4 are provided, and they are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the dial rail 3. This arrangement ensures that the workpieces 4 can move accurately and sequentially under the pressing assembly 2 for pressing during the movement of the dial rail 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 2Multiple identical locking slots 6 are continuously formed along the length of the dial rail 3 on the side near the actuating component 7, with two adjacent locking slots 6 forming a stepped shape. The dial rail 3 is usually made of metal, possessing good strength and wear resistance. The function of the locking slots 6 is to abut against the actuating component 7, and under the action of abutment, the movement of the actuating component 7 drives the dial rail 3 to move.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The crimping assembly 2 includes a receiving platform 21, a crimping cylinder 22, and a pressing block 23. The receiving platform 21 is fixed to the worktable 1 and has a certain stability and load-bearing capacity. The cylinder body of the crimping cylinder 22 is fixed to the receiving platform 21. The crimping cylinder 22 is the component that provides the crimping power and is electrically connected to the controller 8. The pressing block 23 is fixed to the output end of the crimping cylinder 22. The shape of the pressing block 23 can be designed according to the crimping requirements of the workpiece 4, and the material can be a metal with high hardness. When the controller 8 starts the crimping cylinder 22, its output end drives the pressing block 23 to move downwards, thereby crimping the workpiece 4 located directly below the pressing block 23.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 The actuating assembly 7 includes a mounting block 71, a toggle block 72, a spring element 73, and a limiting block 74. The mounting block 71 slides on the worktable 1 and is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight yet strong. The toggle block 72 rotates on the mounting block 71, and one corner of the toggle block 72 can engage with the locking groove 6. The spring element 73 is disposed between the toggle block 72 and the mounting block 71. One end of the spring is fixed to the toggle block 72, and the other end is fixed to the mounting block 71. The elasticity of the spring ensures that the toggle block 72 and the locking groove 6 remain in close contact. The limiting block 74 is fixed to the mounting block 71 to restrict the rotation of the toggle block 72, limiting its rotation angle. In this embodiment, the toggle block 72 can only rotate between the spring and the limiting block 74.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The controller 8 extends the length of the cylinder's telescopic rod, pushing the mounting block 71 to slide on the worktable 1. Under the dual constraints of the limit block 74 limiting the rotation direction of the push block 72 and the spring applying an elastic force to the push block 72, the push block 72 effectively abuts against the locking groove 6 and drives the push rail 3 to move, thereby transporting the workpiece 4 to be pressed on the push rail 3 directly below the pressing assembly 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5Subsequently, the controller 8 retracts the length of the cylinder extension rod to its original length, thereby pulling the actuating assembly 7 back to its initial position. During the retraction of the actuating block 72, the actuating block 72 no longer abuts against the locking groove 6, thus preventing the actuating rail 3 from returning to its original position. Furthermore, during the retraction of the actuating block 72, the spring ensures that the actuating block 72 remains in contact with the locking groove 6, achieving the reset of the actuating block 72.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 After the controller 8 starts the cylinder's telescopic rod to complete the reciprocating motion, the controller 8 will then start the pressing cylinder 22 to drive the pressing block 23 to reciprocate. This not only enables the pressing block 23 to press the workpiece 4 located directly below it, but also enables the pressing block 23 to reset.

[0037] Repeat the above operation. Under the combined action of controller 8, cylinder, actuating component 7, guide rail 3 and pressing component 2, the reciprocating movement of the actuating block 72 is converted into the intermittent feeding of guide rail 3 in a single direction. This allows all the workpieces 4 to be pressed on guide rail 3 to be transported sequentially to the underside of pressing component 2, and finally the pressing process of all the workpieces 4 on guide rail 3 is completed.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 A stop 9 is provided on the worktable 1 to limit the movement of the mounting block 71. A connecting rod 10 is fixed to the stop 9, and the mounting block 71 is fitted onto the connecting rod 10. The function of the stop 9 is to limit the range of movement of the mounting block 71, ensuring that the travel of the dial rail 3 is within a reasonable range. The stop 9 is usually made of metal and is fixed to the worktable 1 by bolts or other means. The connecting rod 10 serves to guide and stabilize the movement of the mounting block 71. The surface of the connecting rod 10 is smooth to reduce friction with the mounting block 71.

[0039] The implementation principle of the crimping device in this application embodiment is as follows: Under the combined action of the controller 8, cylinder, locking groove 6, actuating component 7, guide rail 3, and crimping component 2, the reciprocating movement of the actuating block 72 is converted into intermittent feeding of the guide rail 3 in a single direction. This allows all workpieces 4 to be crimped on the guide rail 3 to be sequentially transported to directly below the crimping component 2, and the crimping component 2 performs crimping processing on the workpieces 4 located directly below it, ultimately completing the crimping processing of all workpieces 4 on the guide rail 3.
