連接器在3C產業上使用的數量極為可觀,由於製造技術門檻並不高,因此,國內外相繼有許多廠商競相投入生產,加上微利時代的來臨,如何降低相關零組件製造成本,已是必須面對的課題及努力的目標。 本論文研究旨在改善原有連接器之端子製程,結合目前業界採用之散端子及彈帶製程,研發一套能同時節省金、銅耗材的自動化端子新製程,提昇連接器在端子製程成本上的競爭力。本論文就新製程中最主要的機台設施,放料機、收料機、彈夾組裝機及料帶等,詳述相關之分析設計,如料帶挾持力之有限元素分析、塑膠射出翹曲模流分析、機構凸輪曲線設計分析以及田口法等,並就所遭遇問題提出解決改善之措施方案,最後,實現一套新製程設備投入生產。
The amount of connector used in 3C industries is quite large. Manufacturers all over the world can produce connectors due to its low-tech technology. Therefore, the profit of the producers is decreased year by year. Reducing production costs become the most important issue each manufacturer has to face. The purpose of this research is to improve the traditional manufacturing process of connector’s header pin (i.e. loose pin and bandolier processes) and develop an innovative connector pin machinery to reduce the waste of gold and copper. Consequently, the products will be highly competitive. This thesis describes in detail the facilities designed and manufactured in the new connector pin machinery including pin-sending machine, pin-receiving machine, bandolier- assembling machine and pin-carrying band. Finite element method is utilized to analyze the mold flow of the plastic housing, the holding-force of the pin-carrying band. In addition, C++ program is written to analyze the force and jump curve of the cam follower. Moreover, Taguchi Method is used for experimental design. During the research period, several problems are arisen in quick succession and solved one by one. Finally, this research is accomplished and whole new machinery is successfully manufactured to produce header pin.
