Embodiment
Below, based on accompanying drawing, an embodiment of the invention are described.
But accompanying drawing is schematic, should notice device, system formation etc. different from reality.Therefore, concrete formation should judge with reference to the following description.In addition, accompanying drawing also comprises the mutually different part of formation each other certainly.
(execution mode)
Fig. 2 ~ Fig. 5 illustrates an embodiment of the invention.The plating of terminal 1 is under the state of chain terminal 1A, use plater 30 on table to carry out.Be described below.
As shown in Figure 2, the processing of the wire rod of conductive metal is formed by chain terminal 1A.In chain terminal 1A, multiple terminal 1 connects continuously via frangible portion 2.Terminal 1 is round needle terminal, comprising: contact pin portion 1a, 1b of front and rear; And the fastener 1c of their pars intermedias.Fastener 1c has the position more outstanding than the periphery of contact pin portion 1a, 1b.
As shown in Figure 3, on table, plater 30 has: the bath trough 31 being marked with gold plating solution; Be marked with the rinse bath 32 of cleaning fluid; Chain terminal 1A is made to slip into multiple transport roller 33 of also movement in bath trough 31 and rinse bath 32 successively; And make the driver element of chain terminal 1A movement (not shown).
As shown in Figure 5, press-in fixture 10 has a pair control arm 10a, by making the variable spaced of mutual opposed faces hold terminal 1, thus keeps.Press-in fixture 10 is configured to utilize not shown actuating arm, carries out pivoting, three-dimensional mobile.
Next, the connector assembling operation of terminal 1 is described.Connector assembling operation comprises plating operation and connector installation procedure.First, the plating operation of terminal 1 is described.Chain terminal 1A is bent at the position etc. of its frangible portion 2, is erected in multiple transport roller 33, be placed in successively through on the path in bath trough 31 and in rinse bath 32.Such as, when utilizing driver element (not shown) that chain terminal 1A is moved, each terminal 1 of chain terminal 1A by bath trough 31, thus is implemented gold-plated on surface, clean afterwards in rinse bath 32.Also can be provided with and fire groove and fire, to replace rinse bath 32.Thus, implement gold-plated continuously to each terminal of chain terminal 1A.
Next, the connector assembling procedure of terminal 1 is moved to.The connector assembling procedure of terminal 1 is described.That is, in the connector assembling procedure of terminal 1, as shown in Figure 4 A, for implementing gold-plated chain terminal 1A, the position of the contact pin portion 1b at terminal 1 rear portion of its least significant end is held with press-in fixture 10.Under the state having held terminal 1, cut off the frangible portion 2 between the terminal 1 of next end side, as shown in Figure 4 B, the terminal 1 of least significant end is separated from chain terminal 1A.Such as, make press-in fixture 10 rotate and turn round to cut off.Then, in the connector assembling procedure of terminal 1, mobile press-in fixture 10, is pressed into the terminal accommodating chamber 21 of connector shell 20 in the mode that the contact pin portion 1a of its front portion becomes end by terminal 1.The fastener 1c of terminal 1, while interfere while be inserted into the inwall of terminal accommodating chamber 21, is positioned in insertion and completes position.Like this, the connector assembling operation of terminal 1 completes.
In addition, when not needing terminal 1 of gold-plated process, do not carry out plating operation, only connector installation procedure is carried out for chain terminal 1A.Process when not needing gold-plated process, process when gold-plated process is needed to be unrestricted choice.
As mentioned above, an embodiment of the invention comprise: plating operation, have the chain terminal 1A being connected with multiple terminal 1 continuously, implement plating to chain terminal 1A; And terminal assembling procedure, after plating operation, from chain terminal 1A terminal 1 be separated and be assembled into connector shell 20.Like this, in an embodiment of the invention, owing to implementing plating to the chain terminal 1A being connected with terminal 1 continuously, therefore with each terminal 1 of released state is implemented compared with the situation of plating, the terminal of plating lays operation simply, and can carry out plating continuously.Therefore, plating operation is simple, can shorten the coating operations time, and can with on a small scale and the equipment of low cost carries out plating.
The plating of terminal 1 and connector assembling method can be selected: through plating operation and carry out terminal group dress operation situation, just carry out the situation of terminal assembling procedure without plating.Therefore, the requirement that also can corresponding make the terminal after being plated process 1 and not need the terminal 1 of plating to mix.
Wire rod is processed and is linked with the chain terminal of terminal 1 by chain terminal 1A.Therefore, the width of chain terminal 1A is roughly the same, and owing to chain terminal 1A can be sent at its long side direction while carry out plating, therefore compared with the terminal of punch process, the workability of coating operations is good.
Chain terminal 1A is the chain terminal being connected with multiple terminal 1 via frangible portion 2 continuously.Because chain terminal 1A can bend at the position of frangible portion 2, therefore in an embodiment of the invention, the form that can change chain terminal 1A makes it be suitable for plating, and the workability of plating improves.
When employing on table plater 30, gold-plated process is implemented to all terminals 1 of chain terminal 1A.
(variation)
In the above-described embodiment, plating uses plater 30 on table to carry out, but as shown in Figure 6, electric brushing coating installation 40 also can be used to carry out.Electric brushing coating installation 40 is implemented gold-plated in the surperficial oil gidling of terminal 1.When using electric brushing coating installation 40, optionally plating can be implemented for the multiple terminals 1 in chain terminal 1A.
In addition, as shown in Figure 7, coating apparatus 45 also can be used to carry out.The surface that gold particle is ejected into terminal 1 by coating apparatus 45 is gold-plated to implement.When using coating apparatus 45, same with electric brushing coating installation 40, optionally can implement plating for the multiple terminals 1 in chain terminal 1A.
That is, in the above-described embodiment, multiple different plater 30,40,45 is illustrated, as long as but plater can carry out the device of plating under the state of chain terminal 1A, and the present invention can both be suitable for.
In the above-described embodiment, implement gold-plated to terminal 1 in plating operation, but also can carry out gold-plated beyond plating (such as zinc-plated, silver-plated, nickel plating), the present invention can both be suitable for.
In the above-described embodiment, terminal 1 is round needle terminal, but also can be the terminal (such as polygon terminal, stamping forming terminal) of any form, and the present invention can both be suitable for.
In the above-described embodiment, with turning round to cut, terminal 1 is cut off from chain terminal 1A, but also can be arbitrary cutting-off method (such as punching press is cut off, stretch the cut-out cut off, utilize cutter to carry out).
Be explained above embodiments of the present invention, but these execution modes are only simple the exemplifying in order to make easy to understand of the present invention record, and the invention is not restricted to this execution mode.Protection scope of the present invention is not limited to technology contents concrete disclosed in above-mentioned execution mode, also comprises the various distortion, change, replacement technology etc. of easily deriving thus.
The application advocates the priority of No. 2013-225034th, the Japanese patent application based on application on October 30th, 2013, and the full content of this application is by referring to being incorporated in present specification.
Industrial practicality
According to the present invention, owing to implementing plating to the chain terminal being connected with terminal continuously, therefore the terminal of plating lays operation simply, and can carry out plating continuously.Therefore, the plating of terminal of the present invention and the plating operation of connector assembling method are simple, can shorten the coating operations time, with on a small scale and the equipment of low cost, also can carry out plating.
