Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal processing equipment technology, and in particular to a terminal material conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process, terminals are typically conveyed as a continuous strip and separated from the strip by a cutting mechanism, facilitating further processing and assembly of individual terminals. Currently, before entering the cutting mechanism, the terminal strip usually undergoes a cleaning process to remove residual dust or other impurities from its surface, ensuring terminal processing accuracy and product quality.

[0003] However, this type of structure generally adopts a separately set cleaning station. After cleaning, the terminal material strip is sent to the cutting mechanism by the conveying mechanism. This method results in a relatively dispersed overall production line layout, occupies a large installation space, and the coordination between equipment is not tight enough, thereby reducing space utilization and hindering the miniaturization and efficiency requirements of the production line.

The second drive assembly is configured to drive the material tray 13 to rotate to release the terminal strip 60 to the guide groove 14, thereby causing the terminal strip 60 in the guide groove 14 to enter the feeding channel from the first end of the feeding channel.

[0064] Specifically, the second driving component 11 is a motor.

[0065] By setting a material tray 13 on the support frame 12 and cooperating with the guide groove 14 and the second drive component 11, the automatic release and smooth introduction of the terminal material strip 60 are realized, providing an automated feeding solution, thereby improving the continuity of the feeding process and production efficiency.

[0066] The working principle of the above-mentioned terminal strip 60 conveying mechanism is as follows:

[0067] S1, the tray 13 rotates to release the terminal strip 60 into the guide groove, and then the terminal strip 60 in the guide groove enters the feeding channel along the first horizontal direction;
