Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment proposes an automotive intelligent interconnection external conductor terminal shaping and welding device for welding the terminal portion 12 on the material strip 11, including a cabinet 13, a positioning and shaping module 14, a welding module 15 and a feeding module 16;

[0042] The upper end of the cabinet 13 has a mounting surface 17, the positioning and shaping module 14 is mounted on the mounting surface 17, and the positioning and shaping module 14 has a feeding channel 18, through which a material strip 11 and a terminal part 12 are passed;

[0043] Welding module 15, which is mounted on the mounting surface 17, and is used to weld the seams on the terminal portion 12;

[0044] The feeding module 16 is used to drive the material belt 11 to move.

[0045] The terminal portion 12 in this design has a seam at its top. When the terminal portion 12 moves, it is automatically fed under the welding module 15, which facilitates the welding module 15 to weld the seam of the terminal portion 12.

[0046] The technical advantages of this solution are as follows: the positioning and shaping module 14 has a feeding channel 18, through which a material strip 11 and a terminal part 12 are threaded; this is used to guide and fix the material strip 11 and the terminal part 12 to ensure the accuracy of the welding position. The feeding module 16 is responsible for driving the material strip 11 to move, realizing continuous automated operation, saving labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0047] As one embodiment of this example, the top of the positioning and shaping module 14 is provided with a through hole 19 that communicates with the feeding channel 18.

[0048] The welding module 15 has a laser welder 20, and the laser beam of the laser welder 20 welds the terminal portion 12 through the through hole 19.

[0049] In this solution, a through hole 19 is provided on the top of the positioning and shaping module 14, which communicates with the feeding channel 18, so that the light beam passes through the through hole 19 to perform precise welding on the terminal part 12.

[0050] The terminal portion 12 has a circular housing structure.

[0051] As one embodiment of this invention, a take-up device 21 is also included, which has a take-up reel 22 for winding the strip 11. In this design, the take-up reel 22 is driven by a take-up motor 50. Furthermore, a material rail can be added to facilitate the transition between the conveying of the strip 11 and the terminal section 12, allowing the take-up reel 22 to more effectively and synchronously wind the strip 11 and the terminal section 12.

[0052] Alternatively, a cutting module can be added between the positioning and shaping module 14 and the receiving device 21. The cutting module's blade is used to separate the strip 11 and the terminal portion 12, so that the receiving device 21 can individually rewind the empty strip 11, and the separated terminals can be collected in a centralized manner.

[0053] As one embodiment of this invention, the welding module 15 further includes a three-axis module 23, and the laser welder 20 is mounted on the mounting surface 17 via the three-axis module 23.

[0054] The three-axis module 23 is existing technology, specifically including an X-axis module, a Y-axis module, and a Z-axis module. The X-axis module is mounted on the mounting surface 17, the Y-axis module is mounted on the output end of the X-axis module, and the Z-axis module is mounted on the output end of the Y-axis module, thus forming a three-dimensional motion adjustment capability. The laser welder 20 is mounted on the output end of the Z-axis module via a support frame.

[0055] As one embodiment of this invention, the positioning and shaping module 14 includes:

[0056] Support 24, the support 24 includes a horizontal template 25, a fixing plate 26 and a base plate 27, the horizontal template 25 is installed on the base plate 27 through the fixing plate 26;

[0057] A stop block 28 is installed on the upper end face of the horizontal template 25. The horizontal template 25 is provided with the feeding channel 18. The stop block 28 is provided with the through hole 19. The lower end face of the stop block 28 is provided with a first arc-shaped opening 29. The upper end face of the horizontal template 25 is provided with an installation opening that communicates with the feeding channel 18. The installation opening is used to install the stop block 28.

[0058] The lifting assembly 30 has a support column 31 that can move in a vertical direction. The horizontal template 25 is provided with a clearance opening for the support column 31 to pass through. The upper end of the support column 31 is provided with a second arc-shaped opening 32. The second arc-shaped opening 32 and the first arc-shaped opening 29 form a circular opening. The circular opening is used to accommodate the terminal portion 12.

[0059] Initially, the terminal portion 12 is circular. To further improve its appearance, the circular outline of the terminal portion 12 is reinforced by the positioning and shaping module 14. In this design, when the lifting assembly 30 moves the support column 31 upward, the second arc-shaped opening 32 of the support column 31 engages with the terminal portion 12. When the support column 31 moves upward to its maximum stroke, the second arc-shaped opening 32 connects with the first arc-shaped opening 29 to form a circular opening, thus reshaping and reinforcing the shape of the terminal portion 12. When the lifting assembly 30 moves the support column 31 downward to below the horizontal template 25, the strip 11, being a thin metal sheet, falls to the bottom of the feeding channel 18 under the weight of the strip 11 and the terminal portion 12, causing the upper end of the terminal portion 12 to detach from the first arc-shaped opening 29.

[0060] When the material strip 11 and terminal part 12 are fed, a portion of them enters the feeding channel 18. When the other portion of the material strip 11 does not enter the feeding channel 18, the portion of the material strip 11 is suspended in the air. Under the action of gravity, the suspended material strip 11 cannot be straightened and has a certain downward curvature. The portion of the material strip 11 and terminal part 12 can convert their own weight into a pulling force on the material strip 11 in the feeding channel 18, thereby ensuring that the material strip 11 in the feeding channel 18 is in a straight state.

[0061] Alternatively, elastic tensioning wheels can be installed at the inlet or outlet of the feeding channel 18 to ensure that the material belt 11 in the feeding channel 18 is kept taut.

[0062] The number of support columns 31 is multiple, and the spacing between adjacent support columns 31 is equal to the spacing between adjacent terminal portions 12.

[0063] As one embodiment of this example, the positioning and shaping module 14 further includes a pushing cylinder 33, a moving block assembly 34, and a shaping rod 35. The shaping rod 35 is mounted on the output end of the pushing cylinder 33 via the moving block assembly 34, and the pushing cylinder 33 is mounted on the side of the horizontal template 25.

[0064] The side of the stop block 28 is provided with a guide hole for the shaping rod 35 to pass through, and the shaping rod 35 is used to press the terminal part 12.

[0065] The shaping rods 35 are multiple in number, and the distance between adjacent shaping rods 35 is equal to the distance between adjacent terminal portions 12. Furthermore, the ends of the shaping rods 35 are provided with connectors that can be inserted into the inner holes of the terminal portions 12.

[0066] In this scheme, after the second arc-shaped opening 32 and the first arc-shaped opening 29 limit and lock the terminal part 12, the shaping rod 35 presses the axial end of the terminal part 12.

[0067] In one embodiment of this invention, the lifting assembly 30 includes a lifting cylinder 36 and a lifting block assembly 37. The lifting cylinder 36 is mounted on the base plate 27, and the lifting block assembly 37 is located between the lifting cylinder 36 and the horizontal template 25. The lifting block assembly 37 is mounted on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 36, and the support column 31 is fixed on the lifting block assembly 37.

[0068] The lifting block assembly 37 is formed by stacking and fixing multiple lifting plates or lifting blocks together.

[0069] As one embodiment of this example, the material belt 11 is provided with a positioning hole 38, and the lifting block assembly 37 is fixed with a positioning part 39, which is used to pass through the positioning hole 38.

[0070] The horizontal template 25 is provided with a through hole for the positioning part 39 to pass through. The positioning part 39 is a positioning pin or a positioning needle.

[0071] Furthermore, there are multiple positioning holes 38.

[0072] In one embodiment of this invention, the feeding module 16 includes a feeding cylinder 40, a slide rail assembly, a connecting block 41, a plug-in plate 42, a mounting plate 43, and a material plate 44.

[0073] One end of the mounting plate 43 is fixed to the fixing plate 26, and the other end of the mounting plate 43 is fixed to the material plate 44. The lower end of the material plate 44 is fixed to the vertical arm 45.

[0074] The slide rail assembly has a guide rail 47 and a slider 48. The guide rail 47 is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate 43, the slider 48 is mounted on the guide rail 47, the connecting block 41 is fixed on the slider 48, and the plug-in plate 42 is fixed on the connecting block 41.

[0075] A displacement channel 46 for accommodating the plug-in plate 42 is provided between the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting plate 43.

[0076] The top of the plug plate 42 is provided with a pointed part, which is used to plug into the positioning hole 38 of the material strip 11;

[0077] The feeding cylinder 40 is mounted on the vertical arm 45, and the output shaft of the feeding cylinder 40 is connected to the slider 48 in a transmission manner.

[0078] Furthermore, the side of the tip closest to the positioning and shaping module 14 is provided with an inclined surface, and the side of the tip away from the positioning and shaping module 14 is provided with a vertical surface. When the plug plate 42 moves toward the positioning and shaping module 14, the tip and the positioning hole 38 cannot be locked due to the transition effect of the inclined surface, and the tip cannot drive the material belt 11 to move.

[0079] When the plug plate 42 moves away from the positioning and shaping module 14, the vertical surface directly interferes with the positioning hole 38, thereby driving the material belt 11 to move.

[0080] Furthermore, photoelectric switches or trigger sensors and controllers, which are already in use, can be added to control the stroke of the feeding cylinder 40.

[0081] Furthermore, this solution also includes a control box 49 for controlling the entire equipment.

[0082] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
