Patent number: 11945658Abstract: A platform for processing a workpiece includes a transmission mechanism, a plurality of workstations and a plurality of movable vehicles. The transmission mechanism transports the workpiece to be processed to one of the plurality of workstations. Each movable vehicle includes a processing module and a docking interface adapted to connect with a docking station of each workstation. The movable vehicles are each adapted to move in and out of each workstation, and each processing module is adapted to process the workpiece transmitted to the workstation after the movable vehicle is moved in and positioned in the workstation.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignees: TE Connectivity Solutions GmbH, Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Tyco Electronics (Qingdao) Ltd.Inventors: Jian Cao, Lvhai (Samuel) Hu, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Fengchun (Fred) Xie, An (Joshua) Yang, Yun (Shanghai) Liu, Wenhe Ma, Peng Ji, Zongjie (Jason) Tao, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu, Tao Xu

Publication number: 20240017950Abstract: A product packaging tape winding device includes a moving bracket, a rotating shaft which is rotatably mounted on the moving bracket, and two groups of reels. The rotating shaft has two shaft parts extending from both sides of the moving bracket. The two groups of reels are installed on respective ones of the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft to rotate with the rotating shaft. The device is adapted such that when one group of reels has been fully wound with the product packaging tape, the moving bracket is moved to move the one group of reels from a working position to a standby position and move the other group of reels from the standby position to the working position, so as to continue winding the product packaging tape with the other group of reels.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., TE Connectivity Germany GmbH, TE Connectivity Solutions GmbHInventors: Fengchun (Fred) Xie, Lvhai (Samuel) Hu, Anatolij Lindt, Sven Uhl, Steffen Joas, Jian Cao, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu, Frank Stredak, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Xianghao (Jorge) Bao, Haidong Wu

Publication number: 20230283033Abstract: A cutting device for cutting an initial product into a plurality of products comprises a base, a cutter seat and a cutter. The initial product includes an insulator and a plurality of groups of terminals fixed on the insulator. The base of the cutting device includes a plurality of slots arranged side by side, and a first positioning slot formed on an inner sidewall of each of the slots of the base and adapted to position one of the terminals of the initial product. The cutter seat is inserted into one of the plurality of slots and defines a blade slit. The cutter is adapted to be inserted into the blade slit to cut off the insulator of the initial product to form the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., TE Connectivity Services GmbHInventors: Jian Cao, Lvhai (Samuel) Hu, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Fengchun (Fred) Xie, An (Joshua) Yang, Yun (Shanghai) Liu, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu

Publication number: 20230279949Abstract: A seal ring installation module comprises a seal ring pickup and transfer device adapted to pick up a seal ring and transfer the seal ring to a component. The pickup and transfer device includes a support member and an outer cylinder sleeved on the support member. The support member has an external shape or at least one external dimension corresponding to those of the component. One end of the support member protrudes from an opening at one end of the outer cylinder to pick up and support the seal ring. One of the outer cylinder or the support member is movable axially relative to the other and is adapted to, with the component axially aligned with and contacting the one end of the support member, transfer the seal ring supported on the one end of the support member from the support member to the component under a biasing force applied by an end face of one end of the outer cylinder.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xianghao (Jorge) Bao, Jian Cao, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Fengchun (Fred) Xie, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu, Lei (Alex) Zhou, (Samuel) Hu

Publication number: 20230249303Abstract: A carrier transmission device comprises a slide rail, a rack and a pair of gears. The slide rail extends along a transmission direction of a carrier to be transmitted and is adapted to slidingly guide the carrier. The rack extends along the transmission direction and is connectable to, or integrally formed on, the carrier. The pair of gears are spaced by a predetermined distance in the transmission direction and are adapted to engage with the rack and drive the carrier to move in the transmission direction on the slide rail.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., TE Connectivity Services GmbHInventors: Jian Cao, Lvhai (Samuel) Hu, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Fengchun (Fred) Xie, An (Joshua) Yang, Yun (Shanghai) Liu, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu

Publication number: 20220324644Abstract: A container transferring system autonomously transfers a container between a product processing machine and a container storage position. The system includes an automated guided vehicle (AGV) container transferring subsystem, and a machine side container conveying subsystem. The machine side conveying subsystem is arranged adjacent the product processing machine and receives empty containers from the AGV container transferring subsystem and transmits a full container to the AGV container transferring subsystem. The AGV container transferring subsystem docks with the machine side container conveying subsystem at a first docking position and moves autonomously between the first docking position and the container storage position to transport the empty container from the container storage position to the machine side container conveying subsystem, and transport the full container from the machine side container conveying subsystem to the container storage position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., TE Connectivity Services GmbHInventors: Xianghao (Jorge) Bao, Lei (Alex) Zhou, Dandan (Emily) Zhang, Fengchun (Fred) Xie, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu
