Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector manufacturing technology, and in particular to a conveying machine for electrical connector insulating bases. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production process of wire-end connectors, the precise delivery of insulating rubber bases is a core element ensuring the efficient operation of the terminal assembly process. As supporting equipment for wire-end connector terminal assembly machinery, the insulating rubber base conveying machinery is responsible for the directional sorting, continuous supply, and endpoint positioning of materials. Its performance directly affects the assembly accuracy and production cycle of the final product.

[0003] Currently, while the conveying methods for small precision plastic parts are becoming increasingly diverse, they all have limitations when it comes to adapting to the conveying of insulating rubber seats. Belt conveyors are widely used due to their simple structure and low cost; however, their reliance on friction to drive material movement makes them prone to slippage at high speeds, making it difficult to meet the precision positioning requirements of insulating rubber seats for terminal assembly. While push-rod intermittent conveyors can achieve step-by-step pushing control, their traditional single-push-rod design can only convey one insulating rubber seat at a time, making it difficult to match the conveying efficiency with the working rhythm of terminal assembly machinery, thus restricting the overall capacity improvement of the production line.

[0004] In summary, technical personnel are urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 A perspective view of the electrical connector insulating base conveying mechanism disclosed in this utility model is shown, indicating that it mainly consists of a feeding mechanism 1 and a support frame 2. The support frame 2 is located on the machine platform and provides a directional conveying channel for the insulating base. The feeding mechanism 1 works in conjunction with the support frame 2 to drive the insulating base to flow stably along a preset path, thereby meeting the continuous conveying requirements of the insulating base during the electrical connector assembly process. like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 1 is the core execution component for realizing the synchronous pushing of multiple glue seats. It mainly consists of several parts, including a support seat 11, a vertical sliding plate 12, a horizontal sliding beam 13, multiple feeding forks 14, a vertical slide rail slider assembly 15, a horizontal slide rail slider assembly 16, a vertical cylinder 17, and a horizontal cylinder 18.

[0026] The support seat 11 is located at the rear of the support frame 2, serving as the installation reference for the entire material feeding mechanism 1 and providing stable support for all components. For example... Figures 3-5As shown, the vertical slide rail slider assembly 15 is mounted on the support base 11, and its sliding part is fixed to the vertical slide plate 12, ensuring that the vertical slide plate 12 can only perform lifting and lowering movements in the height direction. The vertical cylinder 17 is also mounted on the support base 11, and its output end is connected to the vertical slide plate 12 for transmission, providing driving force for the lifting and lowering movement of the vertical slide plate 12. The horizontal slide rail slider assembly 16 is mounted on the vertical slide plate 12, and its sliding part is fixed to the horizontal slide beam 13, limiting the horizontal slide beam 13 to reciprocating translation only in the horizontal direction. The horizontal cylinder 18 is mounted on the vertical slide plate 12, and its output end is connected to the horizontal slide beam 13, providing power for the horizontal movement of the horizontal slide beam 13. Multiple feeding forks 14 are spaced apart along the length direction of the horizontal slide beam 13 and are fixed to the horizontal slide beam 13. Each feeding fork 14 extends to the linear conveying groove 211 of the support frame 2. Through the coordinated action of the lifting of the vertical sliding plate 12 and the lateral movement of the horizontal sliding beam 13, multiple insulating rubber seats in the linear conveying groove 211 are synchronously pushed and pushed. By intermittently applying lateral thrust through subsequent reciprocating feeding actions, the working rhythm of the terminal assembly machine can be precisely matched, thereby significantly improving the conveying rhythm and the overall production line capacity. It is worth noting that, to adapt to the conveying requirements of insulating rubber seats of different specifications, the connection between the feeding fork 14 and the transverse sliding beam 13 is designed as an adjustable structure. For example... Figure 2 As shown, a single feed fork 14 is fixedly connected to the transverse sliding beam 13 by two sets of first screws. Figure 6 As shown, along its width direction, the transverse sliding beam 13 has two rows of threaded hole sets 131, and each set of threaded hole sets 131 consists of N threaded holes 1311 for the first screw to engage; as Figure 7 As shown, a single feed fork 14 has two rows of mounting through-hole sets 141, and each set of mounting through-hole sets 141 consists of N laterally extending, waist-shaped mounting through-holes 1411 through which the first screw can freely pass. In this way, in practical applications, the spacing between adjacent feed forks 14 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the insulating rubber seat, adapting to various products without replacing the entire feed assembly. This significantly improves the versatility of the electrical connector insulating rubber seat conveying machinery, helping to reduce production line changeover costs and time. like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the support frame 2 is the conveying carrier for the insulating rubber seat, and it mainly consists of a support beam 21, a limiting plate 22, and multiple second screws. The top wall of the support beam 21 extends downward to form a linear conveying groove 211 (as shown). Figure 10As shown in the figure, its cross-sectional profile is precisely matched with the shape of the insulating rubber seat, providing a fitting space for the insulating rubber seat and preventing the rubber seat from shifting left and right during the transportation process; the limiting plate 22 is placed on the top wall of the supporting beam 21 and partially blocks the opening of the linear conveying groove 211. It is fixed to the supporting beam 21 by the second screw, which can effectively prevent the insulating rubber seat from falling out of the linear conveying groove 211 due to vibration or posture change during the transportation process. Furthermore, to improve the positioning accuracy of the insulating adhesive base during the conveying process, a cooperative positioning structure is designed between the linear conveying groove 211 and the limiting plate 22. For example... Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, a limiting boss 2111 extending along its length is formed within the linear conveying groove 211; opposite to the linear conveying groove 211, a limiting groove 221 extending along its length is formed on the bottom wall of the limiting plate 22. After the limiting plate 22 and the supporting beam 21 are assembled, the limiting boss 2111 and the limiting groove 221 form a positioning channel that corresponds to each other. The specific structure of the insulating rubber seat is embedded in this channel. That is, combined with the precise fit between the linear conveying groove 211 and the shape of the insulating rubber seat, a comprehensive limiting constraint is formed on the rubber seat, thereby effectively limiting the displacement of the insulating rubber seat in the vertical plane of the conveying direction. This avoids and prevents posture distortion caused by lack of guidance or insufficient guidance during the conveying process, ensuring that the insulating rubber seat is always conveyed stably in the preset posture. This lays the foundation for the precise positioning required for subsequent terminal assembly and greatly improves the positioning stability. In actual operation, the above-mentioned electrical connector insulating base conveying machinery achieves directional conveying of the insulating base through the following steps: In the initial state, the vertical cylinder 17 drives the vertical sliding plate 12 to descend, which in turn drives the horizontal sliding beam 13 and the material fork 14 to move down synchronously, so that the working end of the material fork 14 extends into the linear conveying groove 211 and forms contact with the insulating rubber seat in the groove. When the horizontal cylinder 18 is activated, it drives the transverse sliding beam 13 to move horizontally along the conveying direction. Simultaneously, the material fork 14 pushes the insulating rubber seat to move a preset distance along the linear conveying groove 211, completing one pushing action. After the pushing action is completed, the vertical cylinder 17 drives the vertical sliding plate 12 to rise, causing the material fork 14 to disengage from the insulating rubber seat and disengage from the linear conveying groove 211. The horizontal cylinder 18 drives the transverse sliding beam 13 to reset, and the vertical cylinder 17 drives the feeding fork 14 to move down again, entering the next pushing cycle. The reciprocating feeding action intermittently applies lateral thrust to the insulating rubber seat, realizing the continuous directional flow of the insulating rubber seat. It should also be noted that the vertical cylinder 17 and the horizontal cylinder 18 can be replaced with other linear motion components such as hydraulic cylinders, linear modules or linear motors, depending on the actual working conditions.
