Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated conveying equipment technology, and in particular relates to a circulating conveying device and a cable conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automation equipment, conveyor lines are frequently used in automated production lines to sequentially transport jigs loaded with products to various processing or inspection stations. Automated conveyor lines generally include belt conveyors, chain conveyors, cam trough conveyors, stepper conveyors, and roller conveyors.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN111555093A discloses a fully automatic wire soldering machine, including a frame, a chain-type wire feeding and flipping mechanism, a stripping mechanism, a soldering mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a terminal feeding mechanism, and a soldering mechanism mounted on the frame, as well as a plurality of wire pressing mechanisms respectively configured for the stripping mechanism, the cutting mechanism, and the soldering mechanism for pressing the wire. The frame is provided with a worktable for accommodating the above-mentioned mechanisms. The chain-type wire feeding and flipping mechanism includes a ring conveyor chain, a drive device for driving the ring conveyor chain, a plurality of wire clamping assemblies for placing wires and a flipping assembly for pulling the wire clamping assemblies to flip the wires for soldering. The ring conveyor chain is arranged laterally along the worktable. The drive device is connected to the ring conveyor chain. The wire clamping assembly includes a base and a wire insert block that is pivotally connected to the base. The wire-inlay block has hook grooves on both sides of its bottom and a wire-clamping groove on its upper surface. The wire-flipping assembly includes a wire-flipping bracket, at least two opposing clamping members, a clamping drive device for driving the clamping members to clamp the wire-inlay block, a lifting drive device for driving the clamping members to rise and fall, and a front-back drive device for driving the clamping members to move back and forth. The wire-flipping bracket is mounted on the workbench. The lifting drive device is vertically mounted on the wire-flipping bracket. The clamping drive device is mounted at the lower end of the lifting drive device. The front-back drive device is mounted at the rear end of the wire-flipping bracket, and its front end is connected to the lifting drive device. The clamping member is connected to the lower end of the clamping drive device and is located above the wire-inlay block. Each clamping member has a hook rod at its lower end for hooking the hook grooves on both sides of the wire-inlay block. The hook rods on the two opposing clamping members can be detachably inserted into the hook grooves. The wire to be welded is first placed on the wire inserting block of the chain wire feeding and turning mechanism, and one wire is placed in the corresponding wire slot of each inserting block; the drive device of the chain wire feeding and turning mechanism drives the ring conveyor chain to rotate.

[0004] The technical solution disclosed in the aforementioned patent document involves placing the wire clamping assembly on a circular conveyor chain. The wire clamping assembly includes a base and a wire insert block that is pivotally mounted on the base and can be flipped. The wire insert block has hook grooves on both sides of its bottom, a wire clamping groove on its upper surface, and a wire frame at its front end to separate the wires to be processed. This results in a relatively complex overall structure and installation. Furthermore, the base's placement on the chain introduces installation errors, leading to overall installation inaccuracies. Therefore, a wire pressing mechanism is needed for secondary positioning of the wires. Utility Model Content

[0030] In one embodiment of the circulating conveying device of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 1 The circulating conveyor device in this embodiment can be installed in automated equipment to achieve the positioning and conveying of parts that need to be processed in the automated equipment. This embodiment takes the application of the circulating conveyor device in cable conveying equipment as an example. Specifically, the cable conveying equipment includes a circulating conveyor device, which clamps the cables to be processed and passes them one by one through various cable processing devices. For example, cable stripping devices, aluminum foil cutting devices, braided mesh cutting devices, terminal crimping devices, etc., to achieve automated cable processing.

[0031] Reference Figures 2 to 7 The circulating conveying device includes a frame 100, a turntable assembly 200, a drive motor 300, a support member 400, and a chain drive mechanism 500. The chain drive mechanism 500 includes multiple connecting seats 510 connected end-to-end, forming a ring-shaped chain structure. Rollers 520 are provided on both sides of each connecting seat 510, and positioning clamps 600 are provided on each connecting seat 510.

[0032] A mounting bracket 110 is provided on one side of the frame 100. Support rails 111 are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting bracket 110, and the two support rails 111 respectively support the rollers 520 on both sides of the connecting seat 510. A track groove is formed between the two support rails 111, and part of the connecting seat 510 can be confined within the track groove. The mounting bracket 110 has a first end 101 and a second end 102. Two support members 400 are provided at the second end of the mounting bracket 110. Each support member 400 has a semi-circular arc surface 401, which supports and guides the rollers 520; the upper end of the semi-circular arc surface is flush with the corresponding support rail 111. Furthermore, to increase the stability of the chain structure support, support rails 111 are also provided on both sides of the bottom of the mounting bracket 110.

[0033] The turntable assembly 200 includes a rotating shaft 210 and two turntables 220. The rotating shaft 210 is rotatably mounted on one side of the frame 100 and is positioned near the first end 101 of the mounting bracket 110. The two turntables 220 are mounted on the rotating shaft 210. Multiple meshing grooves 221 are equally spaced on the outer side of each turntable 220, and these grooves mesh with rollers 520. When a chain structure composed of multiple connecting seats 510 is positioned between the turntables 220 and the support member 400, some of the support rollers 520 are supported on the semi-circular surface 401 and the support rail 111, and some of the rollers 520 mesh with the meshing grooves 221. A drive motor 300 is connected to the rotating shaft 210 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate.

[0034] In this embodiment of the cable conveying equipment, one end of the cable to be processed is clamped on the positioning fixture 600. A circulating conveying device transports the cable to different processing devices to complete the processing of the cable end, such as cable stripping devices, aluminum foil cutting devices, braiding devices, terminal crimping devices, etc., realizing automated cable processing. Because the circulating conveying device uses multiple connecting seats 510 connected end to end to form a ring chain structure, and rollers 520 are set on the front and rear sides of the connecting seats 510, and the rollers 520 on the same side form a roller group, while the turntable 220, support rail 111 and support member 400 on the same side form a transmission support structure. The corresponding roller group is supported on the corresponding transmission support structure, and some rollers 520 are engaged in the meshing groove 221. Driven by the drive motor 300, the rotating shaft 210 rotates, which in turn drives the turntable 220 to rotate. Through the meshing action of the roller 520 and the meshing groove 221, the chain structure composed of each connecting seat 510 rotates cyclically on the transmission support structure. Therefore, the positioning clamp 600 on the connecting seat 510 can rotate cyclically. The chain structure formed by multiple connecting seats 510 connected end-to-end is simpler and easier to install than existing chain-based structures.

[0035] Preferably, the top side of the frame 100 is also provided with a mounting position 103, and the cable cutting and stripping device, aluminum foil cutting device, braided mesh cutting device, and terminal crimping device can be sequentially arranged on the mounting position 103.

[0036] Furthermore, refer to Figures 5 to 7 The positioning clamp 600 includes a fixed base 610, an elastic support assembly 620, and a wire clamp 630. The fixed base 610 is mounted on a connecting base 510, with one end extending out of the connecting base 510. The end of the fixed base 610 extending out of the connecting base 510 has a mounting groove 611. The elastic support assembly 620 includes a guide rod 621, a spring 622, and a connecting block 623. The guide rod 621 is located within the mounting groove 611, and the connecting block 623 is fitted onto the guide rod 621. The spring 622 elastically supports the connecting block 623, and the wire clamp 630 is located on one side of the connecting block 623. In this embodiment, the wire clamp 630 can float up and down. During the process of crimping the cable terminal on the wire clamp 630, the wire clamp 630 can move downwards to provide a floating buffer effect for the cable.

[0037] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 The positioning fixture 600 also includes a guide seat 640, which is mounted on the connecting seat 510. A guide rail 650 extends from one side of the fixed seat 610, and the guide rail 650 is slidably connected to the guide seat 640. The end of the guide rail 650 away from the fixed seat 610 extends out of the connecting seat 510. A tension spring (not shown in the attached figure) is provided between the fixed seat 610 and the guide seat 640. The elastic force of the tension spring causes the fixed seat 610 to fit against the connecting seat 510. In this embodiment, when processing cables, the tension spring can be overcome by pushing the guide rail 650, causing the cable clamp 630 to extend the end of the cable towards the cable processing equipment.

[0038] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 610 is also provided with a support cover 660, and a support plate 661 is provided at one end of the support cover 660 near the wire clamp 630. The support plate 661 is provided with a V-groove 662. In this embodiment, the cable held by the wire clamp 630 can be limited by the V-groove 662 and supported by the support cover 660.

[0039] Furthermore, each connecting seat 510 is equipped with a positioning clamp 600. Alternatively, positioning clamps 600 may be provided on connecting seats 510 spaced apart. Specifically, the position of the positioning clamp 600 can be set according to its specific structure and size to avoid interference between the positioning clamps 600.

[0040] For further details, please refer to... Figure 7The connecting seat 510 is also provided with guide wheels 530 on both sides, and the guide wheels 530 are supported by the inner sidewall of the track groove. This allows the connecting seat 530 to be rolled and limited within the track groove. Preferably, the guide wheels 530 are located at the bottom of the connecting seat 510.

[0041] Furthermore, refer to Figures 5 to 7 The connecting seat 510 has two connecting plates 511 extending from one end and a connecting portion 512 extending from the other end. The connecting plates 511 are provided with bearing holes, and bearings 513 are provided in the bearing holes. The connecting portion 512 extends between the two connecting plates 511 of the adjacent connecting seat 510, and a connecting shaft 514 passes through the connecting portion 512 and the two bearings 513. This allows the two adjacent connecting seats 510 to be rotatably connected.

[0042] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 The end of the connecting shaft 514 extends out of the bearing 513, and the roller 520 is fitted onto the end of the connecting shaft 514.

[0043] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 The first end of the mounting bracket 110 is provided with two mounting plates 112, and the rotating shaft 210 rotatably connects the two mounting plates 112.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
