[0028] In this embodiment, the front and rear drive assembly 2 includes front and rear cylinders 21, front and rear slide blocks 23, and a pair of front and rear slide rails 22. The front and rear cylinders 21 and the front and rear slide rails 22 are fixedly installed on the frame 1.

[0032] Furthermore, two dual-hand fully open control switches 9 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. The two dual-hand fully open control switches 9 are electrically connected to the front and rear cylinders 21. The user needs to press both dual-hand fully open control switches 9 at the same time in order for the dual-hand fully open control switches 9 to drive the front and rear cylinders 21 to operate, thereby preventing accidental activation and ensuring safety.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting drive assembly 3 includes a lifting cylinder 31, a cylinder mounting plate 32, a lifting plate 33, and several guide rods 34. The several guide rods 34 are respectively fixedly installed on the frame 1. The lifting plate 33 is lifted and installed on the guide rods 34. The cylinder mounting plate 32 is fixed to the top of the guide rods 34. The lifting cylinder 31 is installed on the cylinder mounting plate 32. The output end of the lifting cylinder 31 passes through the cylinder mounting plate 32 and is connected to the lifting plate 33, thereby driving the lifting plate 33 to move up and down along the guide rods 34.

[0034] Furthermore, the lifting cylinder 31 includes a second cylinder 311, a second piston rod 312, and a second piston 313. The second cylinder 311 has a space inside to provide linear lifting motion for the second piston 313. The second piston 313 is disposed inside the second cylinder 311.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cylinder mounting plate 32 is provided with a cylinder through hole 321, and the first piston rod 212 of the lifting cylinder 31 passes through the cylinder through hole 321 and is connected to the lifting plate 33.

[0039] The following is the operating procedure of this utility model:

[0040] 1. First, install the connector 8 to be processed into the product mounting base 5;

[0041] 2. After installation, press the two-hand full control switch 9 to drive the front and rear cylinders 21 to work, so that the first piston rod 212 of the front and rear cylinders 21 drives the front and rear slide blocks 23 to retract.

[0042] 3. The product mounting base 5 will move into the processing area 10 along with the front and rear slides 23. At this time, the second sensor 62 will sense the first piston 213 and send a signal to the lifting cylinder 31, so that the second piston rod 312 of the lifting cylinder 31 will drive the contouring block 4 to perform a downward pressing operation.

[0043] 4. When the contouring block 4 presses the PIN and PAD pins into the connector 8, the fourth sensor 72 will sense the second piston 313. The fourth sensor 72 sends a signal to the lifting cylinder 31, causing the second piston 313 to move upward. At this time, the second piston rod 312 drives the contouring block 4 to leave the connector 8.

[0044] 5. When the third sensor 71 senses the second piston 313, the second piston 313 returns to its initial position. At this time, the third sensor 71 sends a signal to the front and rear cylinders 21, causing the first piston 213 to move outward. At this time, the first piston rod 212 pushes the front and rear slide blocks 23 away from the processing area 10.

[0045] 6. When the first sensor 61 senses the first piston 213, the first piston 213 returns to its initial position. At this time, the product mounting base 5 will be completely pushed out of the processing area 10 along with the front and rear slides 23.

[0046] This utility model relates to a multi-PIN and PAD connector installation machine. In this utility model, the position of the piston rod in the front and rear cylinders 21 and the lifting cylinder 31 is sensed by the front and rear sensing mechanism and the lifting sensing mechanism. This ensures that the piston stops or starts moving at a predetermined position, achieving high-precision position control. At the same time, it optimizes each link in the production process, reduces unnecessary waiting time, reduces the need for manual intervention, and improves overall production efficiency.

[0047] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] 1. Initial state:

[0049] All cylinders (front and rear drive components and lift drive components) are in the initial standby state.

[0050] The first piston rod of the front and rear drive assemblies is in the extended position, meaning the product mounting base is outside the processing area.

[0051] The second piston rod of the lifting drive assembly is in the retracted position, and the contouring pressure block is located above the processing area.

[0052] 2. Start signal:

[0053] Press the start button with both hands simultaneously. For safety reasons, ensure that the operator's hands are not in a dangerous area.

[0054] After receiving the start signal, the control unit prepares to execute the next step.

[0055] 3. Actions of front and rear drive components:

[0056] The first sensor (such as a magnetic sensor) detects that the first piston rod of the front and rear drive components is in the extended position (which may be a state left over from the previous cycle).

[0057] The control unit sends a signal to cause the first piston rod of the front and rear drive assembly to retract, and the front and rear drive assembly drives the product mounting base into the processing area.

[0058] When the second sensor detects that the first piston rod has moved to the predetermined position (i.e., the retracted position), it sends a signal to the control unit.

[0059] Upon receiving this signal, the control unit confirms that the first piston rod of the front and rear drive assemblies has reached the predetermined position and stops the operation of the front and rear drive assemblies.

[0060] 3. Lifting drive component operation:

[0061] The third sensor detected that the second piston rod of the lifting drive assembly was in the retracted position.

[0062] The control unit sends a signal to start the lifting drive assembly according to the preset program, causing its second piston rod to extend.

[0063] The fourth sensor detects that the second piston rod of the lifting drive assembly is in the extended position and sends a signal to the control unit.

[0064] Upon receiving this signal, the control unit controls the second piston rod of the lifting drive assembly to retract according to a preset program.

[0065] Summary of specific steps

[0066] Waiting for the start command: Press the start button with both hands simultaneously.

[0067] Initial state detection: The first sensor confirms that the first piston rod of the front and rear drive assemblies is in the extended position.

[0068] Front and rear drive component actions:

[0069] The control unit activates the front and rear drive components, causing the first piston rod to retract.

[0070] The second sensor detects that the first piston rod has retracted into place and sends a signal to the control unit.

[0071] The control unit stops the operation of the front and rear drive components.

[0072] Lifting drive component operation:

[0073] The third sensor confirms that the second piston rod of the lifting drive assembly is in the retracted position.

[0074] The control unit activates the lifting drive assembly, causing the second piston rod to extend.

[0075] The fourth sensor detects that the second piston rod has extended into position and sends a signal to the control unit.

[0076] The control unit controls the retraction of the lifting drive assembly.

[0077] Through front and rear sensing mechanisms and lifting sensing mechanisms, the installation machine can ensure that each action is performed in the correct state, and each stage can be accurately detected and controlled, ensuring the safety of operation and the accuracy of the process, and ensuring that the operator's hands are not in dangerous areas.

[0078] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
