Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a metal pin feeding structure for industrial connector production includes a base 1. A first mounting seat 2 and a second mounting seat 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A movable plate 4 is fixedly connected to the push rod end of the cylinder 3. A first pneumatic positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 4. A second pneumatic positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the second mounting seat 9. A guide plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting seat 2. A guide groove 8 adapted to a carrier tape 19 is provided on the guide plate 7. A plurality of storage slots for storing pin assemblies 20 are equidistantly arranged on the carrier tape 19. A baffle 22 is provided between every two adjacent pin assemblies 20 on the top of the carrier tape 19. The spacing of the baffle 22 is adapted to the first and second pneumatic positioning mechanisms.

[0019] By adopting the above-mentioned solution, when using this utility model, after the carrier belt 19 passes through the guide groove 8 on the guide plate 7, the carrier belt 19 can be positioned and clamped by the cooperation of the first pneumatic positioning mechanism and the stop bar 22. Then, the cylinder 3 is activated, which pushes the movable plate 4 to move towards the second mounting seat 9, so that the carrier belt 19 slides on the guide plate 7 towards the second pneumatic positioning mechanism. Then, the second pneumatic positioning mechanism is used to position and clamp the carrier belt 19, and the first pneumatic positioning mechanism can be operated to release the carrier belt 19. After that, the cylinder 3 is reset, so that the movable plate 4 moves away from the second mounting seat 9, which facilitates the next positioning and feeding of the carrier belt 19. The effect is good.

[0020] Specific combination Figure 1-4In one embodiment of this utility model, the structures of the first pneumatic positioning mechanism and the second pneumatic positioning mechanism are adapted to each other. The first pneumatic positioning mechanism includes a clamp 10. The top of the clamp 10 is provided with a sliding groove 11 near both ends. An air pipe connector 17 connected to the sliding groove 11 is installed on the outer wall of the clamp 10. A piston 12 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 11. A sealing ring 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston 12 near the bottom end. A cover plate 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamp 10 and the corresponding position of the sliding groove 11. A locking rod 16 is provided above the clamp 10. The top end of the piston 12 passes through the cover plate 15 and is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rod 16 by screws. A spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston 12 located in the sliding groove 11.

[0021] Furthermore, the clamp 10 of the first pneumatic positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 4, and the clamp 10 of the second pneumatic positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the second mounting base 9. The end of the guide plate 7 passes between the clamp 10 of the first pneumatic positioning mechanism and the second pneumatic positioning mechanism and the clamp rod 16. The spacing between every two adjacent baffles 22 is adapted to the width of the clamp rod 16.

[0022] After the carrier belt 19 is passed between the clamp 10 and the locking rod 16, by switching the air circuit switch, the piston 12 can slide downward under the action of the spring 14, so as to drive the locking rod 16 downward to the two stop bars 22, thereby positioning the carrier belt 19 on the guide plate 7. By inflating the space below the piston 12 in the slide groove 11, the piston can be pushed to move upward in the slide groove 11, thereby moving the locking rod 16 above the stop bar 22 to release the carrier belt 19.

The through-beam photoelectric switch 18 is located between the movable plate 4 and the second mounting base 9. A plurality of positioning holes 21 are equidistantly opened on the top of the carrier tape 19, and the positioning holes 21 correspond one-to-one with the storage slots.

[0026] The cooperation between the through-beam photoelectric switch 18 and the positioning hole 21 facilitates precise positioning of the carrier tape 19 on the guide plate 7, thereby making it easy to accurately align the clamping rod 16 between the two stop bars 22. Specific combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 A guide frame 23 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first mounting base 2 at the corresponding position of the guide plate 7.
