Description

one

The invention relates to the automation of assembly processes and can be used in the electrical industry, in particular for a set of contacts in the insulators of electrical connectors.

A device for stacking rod-shaped parts into a cassette is known, which contains a feeder for parts, an orientator and a support gate located below it for feeding the oriented parts into cells of the cassette 1.

The disadvantage of this device is the long period of orientation of the parts, and the individual cells of the cassette may remain unfilled with parts.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed invention is a device for a kit of parts, for example, contacts of electrical connectors in insulators 2. This device contains a vibrobunker, a storage device, a cutter with a drive, a feeder, a table for mounting a receiver of parts connected with the mechanism movement.

The disadvantage of this device is the complexity of its readjustment for a set of contacts in insulators of various sizes. For the changeover, it is necessary to replace the tubular feeder, the manufacture of which is labor intensive.

The purpose of the invention is to ensure versatility in the recruitment of parts.

0 per set according to different set diagrams.

 The goal is achieved by the fact that the known device for

5 sets of sets of parts, for example, contacts to an electrical connector isolator containing a vibrating hopper, a storage device, a motor cutter, a feeder / table for mounting a component receiver associated with a transfer mechanism, is supplied with a program control unit through which the cutter drive is connected the mechanism for moving the table, which ensures its mobility relative to the feeder in two coordinates in the horizontal plane according to a given program, while the feeder is equipped with a sensor for controlling the passage of parts, data with the specified program control unit.

This design of the device allows a kit to be assembled without a tubular feeder with a complex wiring pipe system. A set of parts into an insulator is carried out by moving the latter under an outwardly feeding unit with a feeder according to a program corresponding to the pattern of holes in the insulator. To change the set of parts, it is enough to change the program applied to the program carrier.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing.

The device consists of a vibrating hopper for parts 1, an orientator 2, an accumulator 3, a shutter 4 with a drive 5, a feeder 6, on which the sensor for monitoring the passage of parts 7 is fixed,

The feeder 6 and the sensor 7 mounted on the bracket 8. Under the outlet of the feeder 6 is the receiver parts 9 mounted on the movable table 10.

The movement of the table 10 in the horizontal plane is carried out by actuators 11, 12. The initial position of the table in two coordinates is fixed by sensors 1 3, 1 4.

The control of the actuators by the mechanisms 11, 12 is carried out by the program control unit 15 according to the program specified on the program carrier 16, for example punched tape.

The device works as follows.

The parts to be assembled into the insulator are loaded into the hopper 1c with the orientator 2 and in the oriented position they go to the hopper 3. The hopper 3 is filled up to a certain number of parts and later, as parts are consumed, hopper 1 fills hopper 3, holding a certain stock of parts.

When the accumulator 3 is filled to the specified number of parts, the hopper 1 is turned off. The control system of the drive 3 is not shown in the drawing.

A program carrier 16 is applied with information (for example, in the form of punched holes in a specific code on a punched tape) about the size and direction of movement of the table 10 to fill all the receiver holes of parts 9 (electrical connector

in accordance with the layout of the parts in the receiver 9.

From the program carrier 16 the information is transferred to the program control unit 15. At the command of the control unit 15, the actuators 11, 12 move the table from the initial position determined by the sensors 13, 14 to the point corresponding to the coordinates of the axis of the first programmed opening of the receiver parts 9 and The table 10 is stopped. At the same time, the command of the program control unit enters the actuator 5, for example, an electromagnet, which biases the cutter 4. .Detail

transferred to the feeder 6, passes through the sensor controlling the passage of parts 7 and falls into the first hole of the program

Q details 9. The signal of the sensor monitoring the passage of parts; 7 enters the software control unit 15 and permits movement of the table 10 to the next hole of the receiver parts 9. Next, there is a corresponding

 Filling the next holes to a set of complete sets of parts in the receiver 9, after which the mechanisms return to their original position.
