DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0021] In the embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fully automatic processing and assembly equipment for a wire harness comprises: a wire pay-off frame 1, which is used to stably release the cable from the reel; a connector assembly machine 2, which is used to assemble the connector with the first end of the cable, the first end of the cable is located in the equipment, and the second end of the cable is located on the first side outside the equipment; a junction box assembly machine 3, which is used to assemble the junction box with the second end of the cable, the second end of the cable is located in the equipment, and the first end of the cable is located on the second side outside the equipment; a wire moving machine 4, which is used to translate the cable from the connector assembly machine 2 to the junction box assembly machine 3, and drive the cable to move axially, so that the first end of the cable moves to the second side outside the equipment, and the second end of the cable moves to the inside of the equipment. In this embodiment, a special wire moving machine 4 is set between the connector assembly machine 2 and the junction box assembly machine 3, which is used to transport the cable and move the cable axially, and can quickly and conveniently realize the effective connection between the connector assembly machine 2 and the junction box assembly machine 3, thereby realizing the fully automatic production of wire harness processing and assembly, and has the advantages of high production efficiency, reliable assembly accuracy, and low defective rate.

[0022] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4As shown, the wire moving machine 4 includes: at least two first pneumatic clamps 401 arranged at equal intervals; a first clamp mounting seat 402 for mounting the first pneumatic clamp 401; a first linear motion module 403 for driving the first clamp mounting seat 402 to reciprocate from the connector assembly machine 2 to the junction box assembly machine 3; at least two second pneumatic clamps 404 arranged at equal intervals; a second clamp mounting seat 405 for mounting the second pneumatic clamp 404; a second linear motion module 406 for driving the second clamp mounting seat 405 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the cable; the second pneumatic clamp 404 is arranged at a position corresponding to the first pneumatic clamp 401; when the first pneumatic clamp 401 clamps the cable and moves forward, the second pneumatic clamp 404 resets and retreats; when the first pneumatic clamp 401 resets and retreats, the second pneumatic clamp 404 clamps the cable and moves axially. In the structure of this embodiment, the action of driving the cable to move is completed by the first pneumatic clamp 401 and the second pneumatic clamp 404. The first pneumatic clamp 401 is used for feeding from the connector assembly machine 2 to the junction box assembly machine 3, and the second pneumatic clamp 404 is used for axial movement of the cable. The two are staggered and do not interfere with each other, which can ensure the orderly transportation of the cable. In particular, the first pneumatic clamp 401 and the second pneumatic clamp 404 are each provided with a plurality of them, so the moving action is evenly decomposed, and the function can be completed by the first linear moving module 403 and the second linear moving module 406 formed relatively short, which simplifies the structure of the device and reduces the external dimensions of the device.

[0023] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4 As shown, the first pneumatic clamp 401 is arranged upward, and the second pneumatic clamp 404 is arranged downward. In this embodiment, the first linear motion module 403 is composed of a cylinder and a linear guide rail, and elastic cushions are provided at both ends; the second linear motion module 406 is an electric linear module. This structure facilitates the two sets of driving structures of the first pneumatic clamp 401 and the second pneumatic clamp 404 to be staggered, which has a higher space utilization rate and further reduces the size of the device.

[0024] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4 As shown, the wire moving machine 4 also includes: a first pneumatic clamp 401 closest to the connector assembly machine 2 can be moved into the connector assembly machine 2. The first pneumatic clamp 401 is used to take materials from the connector assembly machine 2, and no additional transition mechanism is required between the two, simplifying the equipment structure.

[0025] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4As shown, the wire moving machine 4 also includes: a third pneumatic clamp 407, which is arranged corresponding to the first pneumatic clamp 401 closest to the junction box assembly machine 3; a third linear motion module 408, which is used to drive the third pneumatic clamp 407 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the cable; a fourth pneumatic clamp 409, which can be moved into the junction box assembly machine 3; and a fourth linear motion module 410, which is used to drive the fourth pneumatic clamp 409 to reciprocate from the connector assembly machine 2 to the junction box assembly machine 3. One function of the third pneumatic clamp 407 and the fourth pneumatic clamp 409 is to serve as auxiliary clamps for the first pneumatic clamp 401 and the second pneumatic clamp 404 for handling cables, and another function is to send the cables into the junction box assembly machine 3, omitting the transition mechanism between the wire moving machine 4 and the junction box assembly machine 3, thereby simplifying the equipment structure.

[0026] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4 As shown, the third pneumatic clamp 407 is arranged downward, and the fourth pneumatic clamp 409 is arranged upward. Similarly, the above arrangement of the third pneumatic clamp 407 and the fourth pneumatic clamp 409 allows the two sets of drive structures to be staggered, providing higher space utilization and further reducing the size of the device.

[0027] In the embodiment, Figures 2~4 As shown, the cable moving machine 4 further includes: a fifth pneumatic clamp 411, which is fixed in position and arranged side by side close to the first pneumatic clamp 401, and is used to assist in fixing the cable. The fifth pneumatic clamp 411 clamps the cable when the first pneumatic clamp 401 and the second pneumatic clamp 404 are both released, thereby ensuring that the cable is always in a fixed position, avoiding the phenomenon of irregular movement of the cable, and ensuring the reliability of the position.

[0028] In the embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the wire moving machine 4 also includes: a body 412, which has a frame and a box plate, serving as a mounting platform for various functional components; a wire support panel 413, which is horizontally arranged, and whose height is consistent with the height of the jaws of each clamp, and is used to place cables. The frame of the body 412 is used to install various functional components, and the box plate adopts a window made of brown glass or brown acrylic for easy observation. The wire support panel 413 has slots or notches corresponding to each clamp, and the remaining parts have a lifting effect on the cable to prevent the cable from bending downward within the range of the wire moving machine 4, thereby ensuring a reliable handling effect.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are only examples for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Other obvious changes or modifications derived from the essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
