Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic wire insertion and aging mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the widespread adoption of standardized interfaces for mobile terminals and consumer electronics (such as Type-C interfaces), the demand for reliability testing of product connection ports (including insertion / removal / power-on aging tests) has increased significantly. Existing insertion / removal aging test equipment mostly relies on manual insertion / removal or uses simple rigid fixtures and drive devices working together. These solutions typically suffer from problems such as reliance on manual adjustment for positioning and alignment, low repeatability, significant insertion / removal impact, easy scratching or deformation of ports or test adapters, and poor compatibility with different product specifications. Furthermore, rigid drive connections generate significant impact forces during insertion / removal, making soft-start / soft-stop control difficult, thus affecting electrical contact stability and the consistency and comparability of aging test data. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic wire aging mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides an automatic wire aging mechanism, including: a fixture assembly and a wire assembly fixed to the fixture assembly; The fixture assembly includes a support component for supporting the product, a positioning component arranged around the support component and used to limit the position of the product, and a flexible clamping component disposed at one end of the support component and cooperating with the positioning component. The connector assembly includes a base plate, a sliding assembly disposed on the base plate, a sliding seat disposed on the sliding assembly, a flexible test adapter disposed on the sliding seat, and a drive mechanism disposed on the base plate. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the sliding seat, which drives the sliding seat to reciprocate along the insertion direction of the sliding component, thereby driving the flexible test adapter to align with and insert or pull out the connection port of the product to perform aging tests.

[0005] Preferably, the supporting component includes a carrier plate and a pad disposed on the carrier plate.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning component includes a reference plate disposed at one end of the carrier plate to define the position of the long side of the product, and a stop block disposed on the adjacent side of the carrier plate to define the position of the short side of the product; the reference plate is opposite to the flexible pressing component; Preferably, the top of both the carrier plate and the stop block is provided with a downwardly inclined portion.

[0007] Preferably, the flexible clamping assembly includes a mounting base, a mounting plate disposed on the mounting base, a compression spring disposed between the mounting base and the mounting plate, a linear bearing disposed on the mounting base, a guide shaft with one end passing through the linear bearing and placed inside the mounting plate, a connecting block sleeved on the guide shaft, and a universal ball disposed on the mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a linear guide rail and a slider disposed on the linear guide rail; the sliding seat is disposed on the slider.

[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder, a throttle valve connected to the cylinder, and a floating joint connected to the cylinder output end; the floating joint is connected to a sliding seat.

[0010] Preferably, the base plate is further provided with a bracket, and the cylinder is fixed to the base plate by the bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the tail end of the flexible test adapter is used to plug in a Type-C charging cable.

[0012] Preferably, the connection port includes a Type-C interface, and the flexible test adapter is compatible with the Type-C interface.

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention offers precise positioning and high repeatability: by combining a carrier plate, a pad, a reference plate, and a stop block, a two-dimensional positioning constraint is formed on the product under test in the length and short side directions. Combined with the pre-pressing effect of the flexible clamping component along the length direction, the product maintains a stable position during insertion and removal, significantly improving positioning accuracy and repeatability.

[0014] This utility model provides flexible compensation and reduces damage: the flexible clamping assembly uses a combination of compression springs, guide shafts, linear bearings and universal balls, which can effectively absorb clamping deviations and port misalignments, avoid scratches or deformation of connection ports and test adapters caused by rigid collisions, and extend the service life of products and test heads.

[0015] This invention features stable insertion and removal with controllable impact: the insertion assembly ensures the linear movement of the test head along the insertion direction through a linear guide rail and a slider. The drive mechanism uses a mini cylinder in conjunction with a throttle valve to achieve adjustable control of the movement speed, and a floating connector compensates for alignment errors, thereby achieving smooth insertion and removal, reducing impact force, and improving the stability of electrical contact.

[0016] The test adapter of this utility model can be connected to a standard Type-C charging cable at the tail, or it can be replaced with an adapter of other interface specifications. With the replaceable pad design, it is easy to quickly adapt to different product models and interface standards, which improves the versatility of the device and the adaptability of the production line.

[0017] This invention can improve testing efficiency and data reliability: the mechanism can automatically complete the cycle of insertion, holding, and pulling out, reducing manual intervention and significantly improving testing efficiency; at the same time, through stable clamping and flexible compensation, it ensures the stability of electrical contact during the aging test, making the test data more consistent and comparable.

[0018] In summary, this invention achieves efficient, reliable, and low-damage automatic wire aging testing by combining rigid positioning with flexible compensation and precise guidance with controllable drive, and has significant industrial application value. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an automatic wire aging mechanism, including: a fixture assembly 1 and a wire assembly 2 fixed to the fixture assembly 1; the fixture assembly 1 and the wire assembly 2 are fixed by an adapter plate (not shown in the figure); The fixture assembly 1 includes a support assembly 10 for supporting the product 3, a positioning assembly 20 arranged around the support assembly 10 and used to limit the position of the product 3, and a flexible clamping assembly 30 disposed at one end of the support assembly 10 and cooperating with the positioning assembly 20. The support assembly 10 provides a supporting base for the product 3 under test, ensuring the height and horizontal reference of the product during the insertion process. The positioning assembly 20 is used to limit the position of the long / short side of the product, enabling rapid, reliable placement and repeated positioning of the product, reducing manual adjustments. The flexible clamping assembly 30 is used to press the product against the positioning assembly 20 along the length direction of the product. The flexible clamping assembly 30 and the positioning assembly 20 cooperate to ensure that the product under test maintains a stable axial position during the insertion process, reducing plug misalignment or displacement caused by clamping deviations.

[0026] The plug assembly 2 includes a base plate 21, a sliding assembly 23 disposed on the base plate 21, a sliding seat 24 disposed on the sliding assembly 23, a flexible test adapter 25 disposed on the sliding seat 24, and a drive mechanism disposed on the base plate 21; the tail of the flexible test adapter 25 is used to plug in a Type-C charging cable 26. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the sliding seat 24, which drives the sliding seat 24 to reciprocate along the insertion direction of the sliding component 23, thereby driving the flexible test adapter 25 to align with and insert or remove the connection port 333 of the product 3 to perform aging tests. The connection port 333 includes a Type-C interface, and the flexible test adapter 22 is matched with the Type-C interface 33.

[0027] The working principle of the plug-in component 2 is as follows: the drive mechanism works, which drives the sliding seat 24 to slide along the sliding component 23, thereby driving the flexible test adapter 25 installed on the sliding seat 24 to move in the product plugging direction, and performing plugging and unplugging operations on the connection port 333 of the product 3. The sliding assembly 23 includes a linear guide rail and a slider disposed on the linear guide rail; the sliding seat is disposed on the slider.

[0028] The drive mechanism includes a cylinder 22, a throttle valve 27 connected to the cylinder 22, and a floating connector 28 connected to the cylinder output end; the floating connector 28 is connected to the sliding seat 24. The base plate 21 is also provided with a bracket, and the cylinder 22 is fixed to the base plate 21 by the bracket 29.

[0029] The linear guide rail and slider ensure precise guidance of the test head along the insertion direction, guaranteeing the linear motion trajectory and repeatability of the test head along the predetermined insertion direction. Cylinder 22: As an actuator, it provides linear push-pull force, controlling the insertion and withdrawal of the flexible test adapter 25 along the insertion direction. Its compact structure and fast response make it suitable for periodic insertion and withdrawal aging tests. Throttle valve 27: Used to adjust the inlet and outlet flow of the cylinder, thereby controlling the movement speed and acceleration of the sliding seat. Floating connector 28: Compensates for slight alignment errors and angular deviations between the cylinder, sliding seat, and guide rail, preventing lateral loads from being transmitted to the guide rail or port, reducing guide rail jamming and interface damage. Bracket 29: Provides a rigid mounting base for the cylinder, ensuring consistency between the cylinder output direction and the guide rail direction, maintaining the repeatability benchmark of the entire mechanism.

[0030] Furthermore, the support assembly 10 includes a carrier plate 101 and a pad 102 disposed on the carrier plate 101.

[0031] Furthermore, the positioning component 20 includes a reference plate 201 disposed at one end of the carrier plate 101 for defining the position of the long side of the product 3, and a stop block 202 disposed on the adjacent side of the carrier plate 101 for defining the position of the short side of the product 3; the reference plate 201 is opposite to the flexible pressing component 30. The reference plate 201 defines the position of the long side of the product under test 3, serving as a positioning reference surface along the length direction to ensure that the long side of the product aligns with the same reference position each time it is loaded. The reference plate 201 is arranged opposite to the flexible clamping assembly 30: during the clamping action, the flexible clamping assembly presses the product against the reference plate 201 along the length direction to achieve axial positioning and pre-compression, combined with flexible compensation. The stop block 202 defines the position of the short side of the product under test 3, working in conjunction with the reference plate 201 to achieve two-dimensional position constraint, ensuring the product's directional positioning on the support plate. The two-dimensional positioning system formed by the reference plate 201 and the stop block 202, combined with the flexible clamping applied along the length direction, significantly improves the position repeatability of the product under test during the insertion process, reducing insertion errors or port damage caused by clamping deviations.

[0032] The tops of both the carrier plate 101 and the stop block 202 are provided with downwardly inclined portions 200. These inclined portions 200 serve a guiding and buffering function during loading or placing of products, guiding the products into position to reduce placement impact and improve clamping speed and accuracy. The guiding and buffering function of the inclined portions 200 helps products to be smoothly positioned during automatic feeding or manual loading, reducing clamping impact and improving loading efficiency, thereby increasing the overall machine's testing capacity.

[0033] Furthermore, the flexible clamping assembly 30 includes a mounting base 301, a mounting plate 302 disposed on the mounting base 301, a compression spring 303 disposed between the mounting base 301 and the mounting plate 302, a linear bearing 306 disposed on the mounting base 301, a guide shaft 304 with one end passing through the linear bearing 306 and placed inside the mounting plate 302, a connecting block 307 sleeved on the guide shaft 304 and fixed to the mounting base 301, and a universal ball 305 disposed on the mounting plate 302. The mounting plate 302 serves as the force-bearing end of the compression spring 303 and the mounting platform for the universal ball 305, transmitting clamping force to the product being tested. The compression spring 303, located between the mounting base 301 and the mounting plate 302, provides axial preload along the length of the product to achieve steady-state clamping. Linear bearing 306: Provides a low-friction axial guide channel for guide shaft 304, ensuring the smoothness and repeatability of the clamping action. Universal ball 305, as the clamping point in contact with the product under test, can adaptively roll with slight changes in the product's posture to reduce the risk of surface scratches and improve clamping uniformity.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Product 3 is picked up by a robotic arm and placed onto the support component 10 of fixture assembly 1. It is then clamped and positioned by the cooperation of flexible clamping component 30 and positioning component 20. Then, the insertion component 2 works: the cylinder 22 drives the sliding seat 24 to slide along the sliding component 23, thereby causing the flexible test adapter 25 mounted on the sliding seat 24 to move in the product insertion direction, and to perform insertion and removal operations on the connection port 333 of product 3. The flexible test adapter 25 is inserted into product 3 under the push of cylinder 22, and finally the product is charged and aged.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
