Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corner cutting fixtures, and in particular to a connector corner cutting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In electronics manufacturing, communication equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics, connector chamfering is a common yet crucial precision machining process. It involves intentionally cutting one or more edges of the connector's plastic body to create a notch at a specific angle or shape. Many connectors are symmetrical; incorrect insertion can lead to short circuits, pin damage, PCB burnout, and device failure. Asymmetrical chamfering at one end of the connector, along with corresponding avoidance structures on the matching socket or PCB pads, ensures full insertion only when the orientation is correct, physically blocking incorrect insertion and structurally preventing human assembly errors. Chamfering serves as an insertion orientation indicator, improving product usability. Connector chamfering also improves assembly efficiency, reduces rework due to mistaken insertion, lowers labor costs, and avoids mass scrap due to reverse insertion. By physically blocking incorrect insertion, it protects circuit safety, prevents connector or PCB pin breakage due to forced insertion, reduces wear, and improves durability. Existing manual corner cutting methods suffer from insufficient precision, poor consistency, low efficiency, and high safety risks. Connector corner cutting must meet strict dimensional tolerances, and manual operation or general tools cannot guarantee the consistency of each product. Corner cutting fixtures, through a precision positioning structure, ensure that the position, depth, and angle of each corner cutting are completely consistent.

[0003] When cutting corners on connectors, manual operation is required, which is inefficient and lacks precision. Therefore, a connector corner cutting fixture is provided. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a connector corner-cutting fixture is provided, comprising a base, a slide rail fixedly mounted on the middle of the upper surface of the base, and further comprising: a clamping part disposed on one side of the upper surface of the base, wherein a connector to be corner-cut is placed in the clamping part; and a cutting part slidably disposed at the slide rail, wherein the cutting part cuts the corner of the connector in the clamping part.

[0006] Furthermore, a heightening block is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the base, a cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the heightening block, and a push plate is fixedly installed on one end of the cylinder piston rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the base is symmetrically provided with rotating grooves, and a splash guard is rotatably installed between the rotating grooves. The splash guard has a U-shaped structure, and a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the splash guard.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping part includes a clamping block, and a placement groove is provided through the side wall of the clamping block. The placement groove has a C-shaped structure, and a clamping plate is slidably installed in the placement groove.

A clamping screw hole communicating with the placement groove is provided on the side wall of the clamping block, and a clamping bolt is threaded in the clamping screw hole. One end of the clamping bolt is pressed against the side wall of the clamping plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping block, a position fixing block is fixedly installed on the other side of the clamping block, and a baffle plate is fixedly installed at the opening of the placement slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the cutting part includes a mounting shell, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the push plate. A mounting slot is provided on the other side of the mounting shell, and a cutting blade is inserted into the mounting slot. A fixing screw hole communicating with the mounting slot is provided on the upper surface of the mounting shell, and a fixing bolt is threaded in the fixing screw hole. One end of the fixing bolt is pressed against the upper surface of the cutting blade.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting slot opening has an outwardly inclined angle, and a positioning block is fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the mounting slot. The positioning block has a triangular prism structure. The lower surface of the cutting blade has a positioning groove, which is a V-shaped structure that matches the positioning block. Two shrinkage grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner sidewall of the mounting slot. An ejector plate is slidably installed in the shrinkage groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting shell, and two limiting blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting block. The limiting blocks are L-shaped and are slidably installed on the slide rail.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the cylinder installation height is raised by an ascending block to avoid interference. A splash guard covers the cutting area. During operation, the splash guard flips to close the cutting area, preventing plastic debris from splashing and polluting the environment or scratching the skin. After the corner is cut, the splash guard is rotated to open, facilitating the removal of the connector and cleaning of debris. A C-shaped placement slot is used to accommodate the connector. The connector is placed in the placement slot, the clamping bolts are tightened, and the clamping plate is pushed to one side to press against the side wall of the connector.

The lower surface of the cutting blade has a V-shaped positioning groove that precisely matches the positioning block, ensuring that the angle and position height of the blade are consistent each time it is installed, preventing the blade from rotating or shifting laterally. After loosening the fixing bolt, the spring pushes the ejector plate, which abuts against the side of the blade and automatically pushes the blade out of the slot, facilitating quick replacement of worn blades. Through the cooperation of the limit block and the slide rail, it is ensured that the blade always moves forward at a constant speed in a straight line. Attached Figure Description
