Feeding mechanism of a microphone socket terminal assembly machine

Abstract

This utility model discloses a feeding mechanism for a microphone socket terminal assembly machine, including a feeding rail, a pushing mechanism, and a blocking and pushing mechanism disposed at the end of the feeding rail. The blocking and pushing mechanism includes a blocking cylinder fixed above the feeding rail, a blocking block connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder, a blocking plate on the blocking block, and a retraction arc surface on the top of the blocking plate. This mechanism blocks and pushes back the socket housings on the feeding rail, effectively separating adjacent socket housings at their ends, preventing them from jamming due to overlapping surface steps, significantly improving the smoothness and success rate of pushing, reducing production interruptions and the risk of housing damage, improving overall production efficiency, and providing a guarantee for large-scale production.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the manufacturing process of microphone jacks, terminal assembly is a crucial step, requiring specialized assembly machines to precisely install multiple terminals into their corresponding positions on the jack housing. The feeding mechanism, a vital component of the assembly machine, is responsible for the orderly transport of the jack housings to be assembled to the designated workstations; its smooth operation directly impacts overall assembly efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Currently, microphone socket housings, needing to accommodate multiple terminals, typically have multiple mounting slots and positioning structures on their surfaces to accommodate different terminals. This results in several steps on the housing surface, leading to poor overall flatness. When using traditional feeding mechanisms (such as structures consisting only of a feeding rail and a pushing mechanism) for conveying, adjacent socket housings slide within the feeding rail relying on their own weight or the pushing force of subsequent materials. Due to the steps on the housing surface, when two adjacent socket housings come into contact, the stepped structure of the first housing can easily interlock with the corresponding position of the second housing, causing them to jam or even become stuck during relative sliding.

[0004] This jamming phenomenon directly affects the working effect of the pushing mechanism. When the pushing mechanism pushes the socket shell at the end of the feed rail to the other side rail, if the adjacent shells jam, the pushing force not only needs to overcome the resistance of the target shell, but may also be pulled by the jammed shell. At best, it will cause the pushing action to be obstructed and the feeding speed to decrease. At worst, it will cause the entire feeding process to be interrupted, requiring manual intervention, which will seriously reduce production efficiency. At the same time, it may also damage the socket shell due to forced pushing, affecting the product qualification rate.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problems of easy jamming and poor material feeding caused by uneven surfaces of the socket shells in the feeding mechanism of existing microphone socket terminal assembly machines, there is an urgent need for an improved structure that can effectively separate adjacent socket shells and improve the smoothness and success rate of material feeding. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a microphone socket terminal assembly machine.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a feeding mechanism for a microphone socket terminal assembly machine, including a feeding rail and a pushing mechanism, and further including a blocking and pushing mechanism disposed at the end of the feeding rail. The blocking and pushing mechanism includes a blocking cylinder fixed above the feeding rail and a blocking block connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder. A blocking plate is disposed on the blocking block, and a retraction arc surface is disposed on the top of the blocking plate.

[0008] Furthermore, cylinder support feet are fixed on both sides of the end of the feed rail, and the blocking cylinder is fixed to the cylinder support feet by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two retraction arc surfaces, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the blocking plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the blocking block is fixedly connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder and a receiving plate connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder, wherein the receiving plate is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the socket housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of the blocking plates is adapted to the terminal slots of the socket housing, and their thickness is 2-8mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the shape of the receiving groove matches the shape of the socket housing, and the depth of the receiving groove is less than the height of the socket housing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it solves the problem of jamming between adjacent socket housings. The blocking block and blocking plate in the blocking and pushing mechanism can block the socket housings on the feeding rail. When the retracting arc surface at the top of the blocking plate contacts the next socket housing, it can generate a pushing force by the guiding effect of the arc surface, separating the two adjacent socket housings at the end of the feeding rail. This avoids jamming caused by the overlapping steps on the housing surfaces, reducing jamming or stuck situations at the root. Therefore, it significantly improves the smoothness and success of pushing, increases the success rate of pushing, and reduces the risk of process interruption caused by pushing failure. It improves overall production efficiency, enabling the feeding process to proceed continuously and stably, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the microphone socket terminal assembly machine and providing a strong guarantee for large-scale production.

[0015] In addition to the objectives, features and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features and advantages.

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a microphone socket terminal assembly machine.

[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-4 The feeding mechanism of the microphone socket terminal assembly machine includes a feeding rail 1 and a pushing mechanism 2, and also includes a blocking and pushing mechanism disposed at the end of the feeding rail. The blocking and pushing mechanism includes a blocking cylinder 3 fixed above the feeding rail 1 and a blocking block 4 connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 3. A blocking plate 5 is disposed on the blocking block 4, and a retraction arc surface 6 is disposed on the top of the blocking plate 5.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism adds a blocking and pushing mechanism to the feeding rail (which can be connected to a vibratory feeder or linear vibratory mechanism in the prior art for vibration feeding) and the pushing mechanism. A blocking cylinder is fixed above the feeding rail, and its output end is connected to a blocking block. The top of the blocking plate on the blocking block has a retraction arc surface. When the socket shell is conveyed on the feeding rail, the blocking block blocks it under the drive of the blocking cylinder. The retraction arc surface contacts the next socket shell, and the arc surface guides the retraction force, separating the two adjacent socket shells. Simultaneously, it causes the rear socket shell to retract. This effectively prevents adjacent socket shells from jamming due to the intersecting surface steps, reducing jamming or stuck situations, allowing the pushing mechanism to push more smoothly, improving the success rate of pushing, ensuring stable feeding operations, and reducing the risk of production interruptions and shell damage caused by jamming.

[0028] In this embodiment, cylinder supports are fixed on both sides of the end of the feed rail, and the blocking cylinder is fixed to the cylinder supports with bolts. This fixing method uses the cylinder supports to provide stable support for the blocking cylinder. At the same time, the bolt connection facilitates the installation, disassembly, and fine-tuning of the blocking cylinder, which is beneficial for equipment maintenance and adjusting the blocking force and position according to actual needs.

[0032] In this embodiment, the blocking block and the output end of the blocking cylinder are fixedly connected by bolts. The bolt connection is detachable and tight, which can stably fix the blocking block at the output end, and at the same time facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the two.

[0033] Specifically, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 8 and a receiving plate 9 connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder 8. The receiving plate 9 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating the socket housing 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the output end of the pushing cylinder of the pushing mechanism is connected to a receiving plate, and the receiving groove on the receiving plate is used to accommodate the socket shell. During pushing, the receiving groove first accurately receives the socket shell at the end of the feeding rail, and then the pushing cylinder drives the receiving plate to push the shell to the target position (such as the adjacent conveyor rail).

[0036] In this embodiment, the number of blocking plates is adapted to the terminal slots of the socket housing, which can specifically block and push back different terminal slot positions of the socket housing; its thickness is 2-8mm, which can ensure that the blocking plates have sufficient structural strength, and will not affect the fit with the socket housing due to being too thick.

[0037] Specifically, the shape of the receiving groove matches the shape of the socket housing, and the depth of the receiving groove is less than the height of the socket housing.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shape of the receiving groove matches the shape of the socket housing, which allows for precise positioning of the socket housing; the depth of the receiving groove is less than the height of the socket housing, so that part of the socket housing is exposed in the receiving groove, which facilitates the clamping of the cylinder.
