Abstract

Provided is a sleeve tool including a tubular body adapted to be fitted over a slotted round nut of a product. A protrusion is formed on an inner wall of a front end portion of the tubular body and adapted to engage with a groove formed in the slotted round nut. A recess is formed on in outer wall of the tubular body and adapted to engage with a hook-shaped front end of a hook wrench. In a state where the tubular body is fitted over the slotted round nut, the tubular body extends rearward beyond a rear end of a housing of the product, such that the hook-shaped front end is allowed to engage with the recess of the tubular body at a location far away from the rear end of the housing of the product. In this way, the hook wrench may be avoided from interfering with the housing of the product, thereby eliminating the need to attach or detach the products one by one in a predetermined order. As a result, the product having the slotted round nut may be attached and detached conveniently, increasing the efficiency of the attaching and detaching of the product.

Abstract

An assembly system, adapted to insert a terminal into a housing, comprises: a parallel robot mechanism having a support platform on which the housing is held; a serial robot mechanism having an end effector mounted thereon, the end effector being connected to the support platform, so as to drive the parallel robot mechanism to move; and an insertion mechanism configured to insert the terminal into the housing held on the support platform. The parallel robot mechanism is moved by the serial robot mechanism until an insertion hole in the housing is aligned to the terminal to be inserted before inserting the terminal into the housing. The parallel robot mechanism and the support platform are kept stationary by locking at least a part of joints of the parallel robot mechanism during inserting the terminal into the housing. Since insertion force required for inserting the terminal into the housing is completely exerted on and born by the parallel robot mechanism with high rigid, other than exerted on the serial robot mechanism with low rigid, it ensures the position accuracy of the serial robot mechanism, improving the assembly precision of the terminal in the housing.

Abstract

A cold shrinkable terminal assembly includes: a cold shrinkable cable terminal including a terminal body configured to be fixed to a cable joint; and a support tube, the terminal body being pre-expanded on the support tube on which a composite void filling mastic is preset. The composite void filling mastic at least covers an incision of the exposed conductive shielding layer after the cold shrinkable terminal is fixed to the cable joint. The composite void filling mastic includes a filling layer in contact with an outer wall of the support tube; and a separating layer located between the filling layer and the terminal body and made of material different from the terminal body. Since the composite void filling mastic comprises the separating layer made of material different from the terminal body, it avoids the filling layer to directly contact the terminal body made of silicone rubber material, effectively preventing the physical properties of the terminal body from being reduced due to the swelling of the terminal body caused by the filling layer, and eliminating the risk of the cracking of the terminal body.
