The vibrating plate 21 and the parallel air clamp 24 are both electrically connected to the control system.

[0022] Specifically, the roller rotation drive module 32 includes a first rotating support plate 321, a second rotating support plate 322, a drive cylinder 323, and a connecting rod 324. The upper parts of the first rotating support plate 321 and the upper parts of the second rotating support plate 322 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft hole 3211 and a second rotating shaft hole 3221. The two ends of the roller 31 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 312 and a second rotating shaft 313 protruding outwards. The first rotating shaft 312 is rotatably inserted into the first rotating shaft hole 3211, and the second rotating shaft 313 is rotatably inserted through the second rotating shaft hole 3211 and fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 324. The output end of the drive cylinder 323 extends upwards and is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 324. The lower part of the drive cylinder 323 is fixed to the discharge bracket 10. The conveying support plate 22 has a process hole 222 between the two terminal conveying grooves 221. In this embodiment, there are two sets of conveying components 20, and the two conveying support plates 22 of the two conveying components 20 are placed parallel to each other.

[0023] Preferably, the automatic terminal feeding mechanism of this utility model further includes a position sensor 40. The sidewall of the roller 31 is provided with a first sensing socket 314 and a second sensing socket 315 on both sides of the terminal socket 311. A signal through hole (not shown) is provided between the first sensing socket 314 and the second sensing socket 315. The signal through hole is connected to the inner end of the terminal socket 311. The position sensor 40 includes a transmitter 41 and a receiver 42.

The transmitting part of the transmitter 41 and the receiving part of the receiver 42 are located at both ends of the signal through hole and face each other.

[0024] Specifically, the automatic terminal feeding mechanism also includes a pneumatic clamp lifting cylinder 50, a lifting cylinder plate 60, and two guide rods 70. The lifting cylinder plate 60 is vertically installed at the bottom of the conveying support plate 22, and the pneumatic clamp lifting cylinder 50 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the lifting cylinder plate 60. The conveying support plate 22 and the conveying cover plate 25 respectively have lower mounting holes 223 and upper mounting holes 251 corresponding to the pneumatic clamp lifting cylinder 50.

[0025] When the automatic terminal feeding mechanism 100 of this utility model is working, the terminal 900 is output from the vibrating plate 21 to the terminal conveying groove 221 of the conveying support plate 22 and moves vibratingly towards the output end of the terminal conveying groove 221. When the terminal 900 moves to the output end of the terminal conveying groove 221, the clamp 241 of the parallel air clamp 24 moves horizontally to directly above the terminal 900 to prevent the terminal 900 from derailing. At this time, the terminal insertion hole 311 is directly opposite the terminal 900. Then, the terminal 900 continues to move horizontally and is inserted into the terminal insertion hole 311. After the terminal 900 is inserted into place, the position sensor 40 senses the terminal 900 and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system controls the clamp 24 of the parallel air clamp 24 to retract inward to the outside of the terminal conveying groove 221. Then, the control system controls the drive cylinder 323 to rotate the roller 31 upward 90 degrees outward, waiting for the robot to take away the terminal 900. The clamp 24 of the parallel air clamp 24 retracts inward to the outside of the terminal conveying groove 221, so that when the roller 31 rotates upward and flips outward, the clamp 241 of the parallel air clamp 24 is prevented from jamming the terminal 900.

[0026] This utility model's automatic terminal feeding mechanism automatically inserts terminals into the terminal insertion holes of rollers, and the rolling of the rollers flips the arranged terminals to an easily accessible position, greatly improving the efficiency of terminal output.

[0027] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
