Examples

The present embodiment provides a guiding mechanism 100 for installing an elastic collet 200, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the elastic collet 200 is generally cylindrical, a through groove 210 is formed in a sidewall of the elastic collet 200, the through groove 210 extends from one end to the other end of the elastic collet 200 along a length direction, and the elastic collet 200 has a better expansion performance due to the existence of the through groove 210, and can be more conveniently sleeved on a contact 300 (shown in fig. 3) after being expanded.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the guiding mechanism 100 includes a guiding column 110, the guiding column 110 includes an expanding section 111 and a transition section 112, and a tapered trumpet hole 113 is formed at the tail end of the transition end; the expanding section 111 is arranged at one end of the transition section 112, the expanding section 111 and the transition section 112 are in smooth transition, and the diameter of the expanding section 111 is gradually reduced along the direction far away from the transition section 112; the side wall of the transition section 112 is convexly provided with a clamping part 120, the clamping part 120 is integrally in a sheet shape, and the clamping part 120 is arranged on a plane passing through the axis of the diameter expanding section 111. When the elastic collet 200 is used, as shown in fig. 5, the transition section 112 is in butt joint with the contact element 300, and then the elastic collet 200 is sleeved by the expanding section 111, in the process of sleeving, the expanding section 111 can expand the elastic collet 200, the through groove 210 of the elastic collet 200 is expanded along with the expanding width of the expanding section 111, and the clamping part 120 can pass through the through groove 210, so that the elastic collet 200 is more conveniently sleeved on the contact element 300, compared with the traditional mode, the installation efficiency and accuracy of the elastic collet 200 can be improved by adopting the guide mechanism 100, and the possibility of deformation of the elastic collet 200 in the installation process can be reduced.

Further, the thickness of the clamping part 120 may be less than or slightly greater than the width of the through groove 210. With this arrangement, the clip 120 can maintain a certain rigidity.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, the clamping portion 120 includes a first side surface 121 and a second side surface (not shown) located at both sides in the length direction thereof, and the first side surface 121 and the second side surface are respectively connected with a first inclined surface 122 and a second inclined surface (not shown) at a side close to the diameter expanding section 111; along the direction close to the expanding section 111, the first inclined surface 122 and the second inclined surface are close to each other and meet to form a rib 123, and the rib 123 is arranged along the diameter direction of the transition section 112. The design of the protruding ribs 123 allows the clamping portion 120 to be better inserted into the through groove 210, so that the through groove 210 can pass smoothly.

The diameter of the transition section 112 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the elastic collet 200, and the rib 123 is aligned with the connection of the transition section 112 and the expanding section 111.

Through the mounting hole 124, the guiding mechanism 100 can be fixed on a specific fixture by using a pin shaft, and the driving device is used for driving the guiding mechanism 100 to be inserted along the axial direction of the elastic collet 200, so that the manual operation is further replaced by mechanical operation, and time and labor are saved.

The number of the mounting holes 124 is plural, and the plural mounting holes 124 are provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the clamping portion 120. When single-hole fixation is used, if the fixation is not firm, the guide mechanism 100 may rotate around the pin. The addition of the fixing point through the plurality of mounting holes 124 can effectively limit the rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the moving direction of the guide mechanism 100 during the mounting process.

Alternatively, the guiding mechanism 100 includes a plurality of guiding posts 110, and a clamping member (not shown) for fixing the plurality of guiding posts 110, the clamping member is provided with a matching hole for matching with the mounting hole 124, and the clamping member and the plurality of guiding posts 110 can be fixedly connected through a pin penetrating through the mounting hole 124 and the matching hole. In the prior art, the elastic collets 200 are usually produced in the form of a strip, that is, a plurality of elastic collets 200 are fixed on a pair of elongated trimmings 220 at intervals, and the common method requires that the elastic collets 200 are detached from the trimmings 220 by using tweezers and then individually mounted. By using the clamping member and the guide posts 110 in cooperation, the elastic collet 200 can be simultaneously installed on the plurality of contacts 300 without detaching the elastic collet 200 from the trim 220, thereby improving the production efficiency. Further, in order to match the arrangement mode of the plurality of elastic collets 200 on the belt material at equal intervals, the plurality of guide posts 110 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the plug pin, so that the plurality of elastic collets 200 can correspond to the plurality of guide posts 110 one to one.

In particular, the above-described mounting method is only one preferred processing mode provided in the present embodiment, and in actual use, the elastic collet 200 may be removed from the trim 220 and the elastic collet 200 of the contact 300 may be mounted by using a holder.
