Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness production technology, and in particular to a wire harness winding device with integrated lifting drive and a multi-core wire harness assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] In the wire harness production process, longer wire harnesses typically require coiling to reduce their space requirements and facilitate transportation and storage. Currently, the industry commonly uses manual coiling, which is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. While existing winding equipment can automate the process, it suffers from several shortcomings in practice: First, the lack of an effective wire harness guiding mechanism leads to uneven stacking and a flat, disc-like structure during coiling. Second, existing equipment struggles to achieve spiral layering of the wire harness, impacting subsequent packaging and warehousing efficiency. Third, traditional winding devices cannot flexibly adjust the winding diameter, making it difficult to adapt to the coiling needs of different wire harness specifications. Furthermore, the lack of effective constraint mechanisms at the wire harness ends in current technology easily results in loose or unevenly wound wire harnesses. These problems severely affect the automation level and product quality of wire harness production. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a wire harness winding device with integrated lifting drive and a multi-core wire harness assembly line, which has the advantages of improving the uniformity of wire harness winding, realizing spiral layered winding, flexibly adjusting the winding diameter, and improving the degree of automation.

[0004] In a first aspect, the wire harness winding device with integrated lifting drive according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: A wire winding fixture is used to provide support for wire harness winding. A first constraint mechanism is fixedly connected to or arranged side-by-side with the winding fixture, and the first constraint mechanism is used to connect one end of the wire harness; The winding module includes a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a second constraint mechanism. The second constraint mechanism is used to connect the other end of the wire harness. The rotating mechanism is connected to the winding fixture and / or the second constraint mechanism. The rotating mechanism can drive the winding fixture to rotate or drive the second constraint mechanism to rotate around the winding fixture. The lifting mechanism is connected to the winding fixture and / or the second constraint mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the winding fixture and / or the second constraint mechanism to move along the axial extension direction of the winding fixture so that the wire harness is spirally layered and wound on the winding fixture.

[0005] The integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This application achieves automated spiral winding through the synergistic action of the winding fixture and the winding module. The winding fixture, as the core support structure, bears the wire harness winding process, and the first constraint mechanism fixes the starting point of the wire harness to ensure stable initial positioning. The linkage control between the rotating mechanism and the lifting mechanism in the winding module forms a key innovation: the rotating mechanism drives the winding fixture to rotate, generating circumferential motion, or drives the second constraint mechanism to revolve around the winding fixture, and in conjunction with the displacement of the lifting mechanism along the axial direction, the wire harness forms a spiral trajectory in three-dimensional space. This composite motion mode of rotation and axial movement causes the wire harness to be stacked rather than planarly piled up during the winding process, which improves winding efficiency and optimizes the wire coil structure. The dynamic control of the wire harness end by the second constraint mechanism forms a tension balance with the fixed end of the first constraint mechanism, ensuring the uniformity of spiral winding. By replacing manual operation with mechanical linkage, the storage and transportation problems caused by traditional planar winding are effectively solved.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device includes a first clamping component for fixing one end of the wire harness. The first clamping component is fixedly connected to or arranged side by side with the winding fixture.

And / or, The first constraint mechanism further includes a first lifting component, the first clamping component is connected to the first lifting component, and the first lifting component can drive the first clamping component to move vertically.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device includes a second constraint mechanism as an unwinding machine and a cutting mechanism provided between the second constraint mechanism and the winding fixture. or, The second constraint mechanism includes a second clamping assembly connected to the rotating mechanism and the other end of the wire harness. The second clamping assembly can fix the end of the wire harness or allow the wire harness to slide. The rotating mechanism can drive the second clamping assembly to rotate around the winding fixture.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device includes a second clamping component and a clamping plate. The two clamping plates are arranged opposite each other to form a wire clamping cavity. One or both of the two clamping plates are connected to the second driving component. The second driving component can drive the clamping plate to move to adjust the opening and closing of the wire clamping cavity.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device includes a rotating mechanism comprising a rotating drive member and a connecting member. The rotating drive member is connected to one end of the connecting member, and the second clamping component is disposed at the other end of the connecting member. The second clamping component is capable of adjusting its position on the connecting member.

[0011] The integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a transport mechanism, which is disposed above the winding fixture. The transport mechanism includes a fixed bracket, a second lifting component, at least two wire coil fixing components, and two third clamping components. The second lifting component is connected to the fixed bracket. The wire coil fixing components and the third clamping components are both mounted on the fixed bracket. The wire coil fixing components are used to clamp the main body of the wire harness coil, and the third clamping components are used to clamp the end of the wire harness. The second lifting component can drive the wire coil fixing components and the third clamping components away from or towards the winding fixture.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device includes a winding fixture comprising a mounting base, a support plate, and a first driving member. The support plate is slidably connected to the mounting base, and the output end of the first driving member is connected to the support plate. A plurality of support plates are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the mounting base. The first driving member can drive the support plate to move to adjust the winding diameter.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device is provided on the support plate, and two limit blocks are spaced apart along the axial extension direction of the mounting base. The two limit blocks cooperate to form a constraint space for the wire harness winding arrangement.

[0014] Secondly, the multi-core wire harness assembly line according to the embodiments of the present invention utilizes the aforementioned integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device.

[0015] The multi-core wire harness assembly line according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The multi-core wire harness assembly line integrates a wire harness winding device, coordinating the winding fixture, the first constraint mechanism, and the winding module to achieve automated spiral layered winding of the wire harness. The winding fixture provides physical support for the wire harness winding. The first constraint mechanism fixes one end of the wire harness and has translational or lifting capabilities, ensuring accurate positioning of the wire harness at its initial position. The winding module drives the winding fixture to rotate via a rotation mechanism or drives the second constraint mechanism to rotate around the fixture. Combined with the lifting mechanism moving along the axial direction, this forms a spiral trajectory wire harness arrangement. The second constraint mechanism controls the other end of the wire harness by clamping or unwinding, and with the combined motion of rotation and translation, the wire harness forms a layered structure rather than a planar stack during the winding process. The adjustable diameter design of the winding fixture changes the constraint space by moving the support plate, adapting to the winding requirements of wire harnesses of different specifications. The handling mechanism achieves automated transfer of the wire coil through lifting and clamping components, reducing manual intervention.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

If the terms "first" and "second" are used, they are merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features or the order of the indicated technical features.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device, including a winding fixture 100, a first constraint mechanism 200, and a winding module. The winding fixture 100 provides support for wire harness winding; the first constraint mechanism 200 is fixed or arranged side by side with the winding fixture 100 and is used to connect one end of the wire harness; the winding module includes a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism 400, and a second constraint mechanism, the second constraint mechanism being connected to the other end of the wire harness. The rotating mechanism drives the winding fixture 100 to rotate or the second constraint mechanism to rotate around it, and the lifting mechanism 400 drives the winding fixture 100 or the second constraint mechanism to move along the axis, causing the wire harness to be spirally layered and wound.

[0024] Understandably, the winding fixture 100 refers to the basic support structure that supports the winding process of the wire harness. It can be a cylindrical frame with an adjustable diameter, and its function is to provide a stable winding reference surface for the wire harness. The first constraint mechanism 200 refers to a positioning device that fixes the starting end of the wire harness, such as a fixing seat with pneumatic grippers, which ensures that the starting end of the wire harness does not shift or deviate through mechanical clamping. The rotation mechanism refers to the drive component that generates rotational power. It can be a servo motor with a reducer to achieve precise angle control, used to drive the winding fixture 100 to rotate or to drive the second constraint mechanism to revolve around it. The lifting mechanism 400 refers to a linear drive device that moves along the axial direction, such as a ball screw module or a linear motor, used to synchronously generate axial displacement during rotation, forming a helical trajectory. The second constraint mechanism refers to the execution unit that dynamically controls the end of the wire harness, such as a gripper or unwinder with damping adjustment, which maintains the tension of the wire harness while allowing it to slide axially.

[0025] Specifically, after the two ends of the wire harness are connected to the first constraint mechanism 200 and the second constraint mechanism respectively, the rotation mechanism is activated to rotate the winding fixture 100 around its own axis. Simultaneously, the lifting mechanism 400 pushes the winding fixture 100 or the second constraint mechanism to move at a constant speed along the axial direction. This combined motion causes the wire harness to generate a fixed axial displacement after each revolution during winding, forming a helical layered structure. The trajectory of the wire harness in three-dimensional space is precisely controlled by the ratio of the rotation angle to the axial displacement, ensuring a stable gap between adjacent wire harness layers and preventing planar stacking. The rigid support of the winding fixture 100 and the synergistic effect of the constraint mechanisms ensure that the wire harness maintains a predetermined tension throughout the winding process, preventing loosening and deformation.

[0026] Beneficially, this application utilizes the coordinated control of rotation and translation mechanisms to simultaneously generate circumferential rotation and axial displacement of the wire harness during winding, forming a spatial spiral arrangement. This three-dimensional winding method not only improves the density uniformity of the wire harness roll but also enhances structural stability through the rational design of interlayer gaps, preventing morphological damage during handling and achieving automated control of the wire harness winding process, effectively replacing manual operation and improving work efficiency. The spiral layered winding method forms a compact cylindrical structure for the wire harness roll, reducing storage space occupancy while enhancing the compressive strength of the wire harness roll and preventing loosening during transportation. Precise control of the three-dimensional winding trajectory ensures uniform interlayer distribution of the wire harness, providing a standardized product form for subsequent automated packaging processes.

[0027] Optionally, the second constraint mechanism is an unwinding machine, and a cutting mechanism (not shown) is provided between the second constraint mechanism and the winding fixture 100.

[0028] Understandably, an unwinding machine is a device used to continuously release wire harnesses. Specifically, it can be implemented using a drum structure with tension control. By adjusting the unwinding speed to synchronize with the winding speed, it ensures a stable feed of the wire harness during winding. A cutting mechanism is a device used to cut the wire harness. Specifically, it can be implemented using a pneumatic shear or a laser cutter, automatically cutting off the end of the wire harness after winding, enabling continuous operation.

[0029] Specifically, when an unwinding machine (not shown) and a cutting mechanism (not shown) are combined, the wire harness is continuously output from the unwinding machine and forms a spiral stacked structure under the combined motion of the winding fixture 100 rotating and moving axially. After the winding is completed, the wire harness is cut by the cutting mechanism (not shown), which is suitable for mass production scenarios.

[0030] Or, in some other embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second constraint mechanism includes a second clamping component 500, which is connected to a rotating mechanism and to the other end of the wire harness. The second clamping component 500 can fix the end of the wire harness or allow the wire harness to slide. The rotating mechanism can drive the second clamping component 500 to rotate around the winding fixture 100.

[0031] It is understood that the second clamping component 500 refers to a device used to fix or guide the end of the wire harness. Specifically, it can be implemented using a gripper structure with a pressure sensor. By adjusting the clamping force, the wire harness can be kept in a sliding or fixed state during the winding process. The rotating mechanism refers to a device that drives the second clamping component 500 to move around the winding jig 100. Specifically, it can be implemented using a servo motor-driven rotating arm structure. By controlling the rotation speed and linking it with the translation mechanism, a spiral winding trajectory is formed.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the second clamping component 500 is used, although the end of the wire harness is clamped by the second clamping component 500, it is in a sliding state. Driven by the rotating mechanism, it moves circumferentially along the winding fixture 100. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 400 drives the winding fixture 100 or the second clamping component 500 to move axially, so that the wire harness forms a spiral arrangement in three-dimensional space. The clamping method that allows the wire harness to slide can adapt to different wire diameters and tension requirements, while the fixed clamping method ensures that the winding position is precise and controllable.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second clamping assembly 500 includes a second drive member 510 and a clamping plate 520. The two clamping plates 520 are arranged opposite each other to form a wire clamping cavity. One or both of the two clamping plates 520 are connected to the second drive member 510. The second drive member 510 can drive the clamping plate 520 to move to adjust the opening and closing of the wire clamping cavity.

[0034] It is understood that the second driving component 510 refers to a power element capable of outputting linear displacement, which can be implemented using a cylinder, electric push rod, or servo motor in conjunction with a lead screw structure, changing the spacing of the clamping plates 520 through linear motion. The clamping plates 520 refer to rigid components with a planar or curved surface structure, which can be implemented using metal plates or engineering plastic plates, forming an adjustable clamping space through relative movement. The wire clamping cavity refers to the area enclosed by the opposing surfaces of the clamping plates 520, which can be adjusted to create channels of different sizes to accommodate wire harnesses of different diameters. That is, when the wire harness enters the wire clamping cavity, the second driving component 510 drives the clamping plates 520 to move according to preset parameters or real-time detection signals, matching the width of the wire clamping cavity with the outer diameter of the wire harness. For example, when the wire harness diameter is large, the second driving component 510 drives the clamping plate 520 to move outward to expand the clamping cavity, avoiding excessive compression that could damage the insulation layer. Through the linkage control of the driving component and the clamping plate 520, the clamping force can be adjusted in real time, which not only eliminates the mechanical damage caused by rigid clamping, but also avoids insufficient tension during the wire harness traction process, ensuring that the wire harness remains stable during the rotation traction process, thus improving the reliability of the winding process and the quality of the finished wire harness.

[0035] Compared to existing technologies, traditional winding devices lack coordinated control of axial movement and circumferential rotation, resulting in wire harnesses stacking on the same plane. This application, however, uses composite motion trajectory control at the constraint end to simultaneously generate circumferential winding and axial displacement during the winding process, completely eliminating planar stacking. Compared to manual operation or a single rotating mechanism, this technology achieves automated spiral winding, with both implementations adapting to the different process requirements of continuous production and precision winding. Simultaneously, it effectively avoids packaging and handling difficulties caused by planar stacking of wire harnesses, and improves the space utilization of the wire harness rolls through the spiral layered structure. The combination of the unwinding machine and the cutting mechanism enables fully automated continuous operation, while the adjustable clamping mode of the second clamping component 500 meets the tension control requirements of different wire harness materials, enabling the device to adapt to winding processes for various specifications of wire harnesses.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this application, the first constraint mechanism 200 includes a first clamping component 210, which is used to fix one end of the wire harness and is fixedly connected to the winding fixture 100.

[0037] It is understood that the first clamping component 210 refers to a mechanical structure with clamping function, which can be implemented using a pneumatic clamp or an electric gripper, forming a fixed constraint on the end of the wire harness through the contact pressure of the clamping surface. The fixed connection refers to the rigid connection between the first clamping component 210 and the winding fixture 100 or maintaining a parallel axis layout, which can be achieved by bolt fastening or mounting on the same base, ensuring that the starting end of the wire harness is synchronized with the axial position of the winding fixture 100.

[0038] That is, when the winding fixture 100 starts to rotate, the starting end of the wire harness is clamped and fixed by the first clamping component 210. Due to the fixed connection between the first clamping component 210 and the winding fixture 100, the end of the wire harness remains relatively stationary with respect to the winding fixture 100 during rotation, avoiding wire harness twisting or loosening caused by end offset. When the winding fixture 100 drives the wire harness to spirally stack, the rigid constraint of the first clamping component 210 prevents the starting end of the wire harness from generating radial displacement, thereby ensuring that the axial position of each turn of the wire harness is aligned on the winding fixture 100.

[0039] Or, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first clamping component 210 and the winding fixture 100 are separate structures and are arranged side by side. When the winding fixture 100 drives the wire harness to be spirally stacked, the rigid constraint of the first clamping component 210 prevents the starting end of the wire harness from generating radial displacement. At the same time, the rotating mechanism drives the second clamping component 500 to move circumferentially along the winding fixture 100, and the lifting mechanism 400 drives the winding fixture 100 or the second clamping component 500 to move axially, so that the wire harness forms a spiral arrangement in three-dimensional space.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, the first constraint mechanism 200 further includes a first translation component 220, and a first clamping component 210 is connected to the first translation component 220. The first translation component 220 can drive the first clamping component 210 to move horizontally. Simultaneously, the first constraint mechanism 200 also includes a first lifting component 230, and the first clamping component 210 is connected to the first lifting component 230. The first lifting component 230 can drive the first clamping component 210 to move vertically.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first clamping component 210 is disposed on the first lifting component 230, and the first lifting component 230 is connected to the first translation component 220.

[0042] It is understood that the first translation component 220 refers to a mechanical structure that enables the clamping component to move linearly in the horizontal direction. Specifically, it can be implemented by a linear motor-driven slide rail mechanism or a servo motor combined with a ball screw transmission mechanism. Its function is to adjust the initial positioning of the wire harness starting end in the horizontal direction. The first lifting component 230 refers to a mechanical structure that enables the clamping component to move linearly in the vertical direction. Specifically, it can be implemented by a cylinder-driven lifting platform or an electric push rod combined with a guide column lifting mechanism. Its function is to adjust the height of the wire harness starting end from its initial positioning in the vertical direction.

[0043] That is, the first translation component 220 and the first lifting component 230 work together to move the starting end of the wire harness to the winding positioning point. When the winding fixture 100 starts to rotate, the starting end of the wire harness is clamped and fixed at the winding positioning point by the first clamping component 210. When the winding fixture 100 drives the wire harness to perform spiral stacking, the rigid constraint of the first clamping component 210 prevents the starting end of the wire harness from generating radial displacement. At the same time, the rotation mechanism drives the second clamping component 500 to move circumferentially along the winding fixture 100. Simultaneously, the lifting mechanism 400 drives the winding fixture 100 to move axially. At the same time, the first lifting component 230 drives the first clamping component 210 to move in the same direction as the winding fixture 100, so that the end of the wire harness is synchronized with the axial movement trajectory of the winding fixture 100, avoiding misalignment between wire harness layers due to height deviation. During continuous winding, the translation component and the lifting component can act independently or in coordination. By dynamically adjusting the three-dimensional coordinates of the fixed end of the wire harness, the wire harness forms a spiral stacked structure with equal pitch on the winding fixture 100, rather than a planar stacked disc structure.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, the integrated lifting drive wire harness winding device of this application is further provided with a conveying mechanism 600. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism 600 is located above the winding fixture 100. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 600 includes a fixed bracket 610, a second lifting component 620, at least two wire coil fixing components 630, and two third clamping components 640. The second lifting component 620 is connected to the fixed bracket 610. The wire coil fixing components 630 and the third clamping components 640 are both mounted on the fixed bracket 610. The wire coil fixing components 630 are used to clamp the main body of the wire harness coil, and the third clamping components 640 are used to clamp the end of the wire harness. The second lifting component 620 can move the wire coil fixing components 630 and the third clamping components 640 away from or closer to the winding fixture 100.

[0045] It is understandable that the handling mechanism 600 refers to a mechanical device capable of automating the transfer of wire harness rolls, completing the gripping and handling of the wound wire harness through a preset motion trajectory. The fixed bracket 610 refers to a rigid frame structure supporting the lifting and clamping components, specifically assembled from welded steel frames or aluminum alloy profiles, used to ensure the relative positional stability of each functional component in space. The second lifting component 620 refers to the power mechanism driving the vertical movement of the clamping system, achieving positioning and docking with the winding fixture 100 through precise control of the lifting stroke. The wire harness fixing component 630 refers to the actuating component clamping the main body of the wire harness roll, specifically implemented using pneumatic grippers or electromagnetic chuck structures, ensuring that the wire harness roll does not shift during handling through multi-point clamping. The third clamping component 640 refers to a special clamp fixing the end of the wire harness, specifically implemented using spring clamps or vacuum nozzle structures, using flexible end material to prevent damage to the wire end during clamping.

[0046] Specifically, after the winding fixture 100 completes the winding of the wire harness, the second lifting component 620 lowers the fixed bracket 610 to a predetermined height. Simultaneously, the wire coil fixing component 630 clamps the outer surface of the wire coil, while the third clamping component 640 clamps both ends of the wire harness. After clamping, the second lifting component 620 raises the fixed bracket 610, disengaging the wire coil from the winding fixture 100. The wire coil is then transferred to a designated position via a translation module. During this process, the wire coil fixing component 630 and the third clamping component 640 provide double fixation, preventing the wire coil from unraveling and avoiding loosening of the wire ends during transport. The rigid structure of the fixed bracket 610 ensures that the relative positions of each clamping component remain unchanged during movement, and the precise control of the second lifting component 620 achieves seamless integration with the winding process.

[0047] Beneficially, this application achieves automated transfer of wire harness rolls through an integrated handling mechanism 600. The synergistic action of the wire harness fixing component 630 and the third clamping component 640 replaces manual intervention, and the precise control of the second lifting component 620 avoids positional deviations during handling. Compared to existing equipment that simply uses a robotic arm for gripping, the dual clamping mechanism effectively solves the structural stability problem of the wire harness roll during transfer, and addresses the issues of low efficiency and easy loosening of the wire harness during manual handling. The automated clamping mechanism enables rapid transfer of the wire harness roll, and the synergistic clamping action of the wire harness fixing component 630 and the third clamping component 640 ensures the integrity of the wire harness structure during handling. The vertical motion control of the second lifting component 620 achieves precise docking with the winding process, forming a complete automated production process.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the winding fixture 100 includes a mounting base 110, a support plate 120, and a first driving member 130. The support plate 120 is slidably connected to the mounting base 110, and the output end of the first driving member 130 is connected to the support plate 120. Multiple support plates 120 are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the mounting base 110. The first driving member 130 can drive the support plate 120 to move to adjust the winding diameter.

[0049] It is understood that the mounting base 110 refers to the basic structure that supports the sliding of the support plate 120. Specifically, it can be implemented as a cylindrical base with radial slide rails, used to provide a sliding reference for the support plate 120 and maintain axial stability. The support plate 120 refers to a plate-shaped component used to form the outer contour of the winding. It cooperates with the mounting base 110 through a sliding connection and is used to change the winding diameter through radial displacement. The first driving member 130 refers to the power unit that drives the support plate 120 to slide. Specifically, it can be implemented as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder, used to precisely control the displacement of the support plate 120. The circumferentially spaced arrangement of multiple support plates 120 refers to the uniform distribution of multiple independent adjustable support units along the circumference of the mounting base 110. Specifically, it can be implemented by arranging four to eight support plates 120 at equal angular intervals, used to ensure uniform force during wire harness winding.

[0050] Specifically, the slide rail of the mounting base 110 and the guide groove of the support plate 120 form a sliding pair. The first driving member 130 drives the support plate 120 to move radially along the mounting base 110 through a push-pull action. When it is necessary to increase the winding diameter, all support plates 120 slide outward synchronously, expanding the outer contour of the winding; when it is necessary to decrease the winding diameter, the support plates 120 shrink inward synchronously. The uniform circumferential distribution of multiple support plates 120 ensures that the pressure at each contact point of the wire harness is balanced during winding, avoiding local deformation. By adjusting the position of the support plates 120, different winding diameter requirements can be matched, achieving flexible adjustment of the winding diameter.

[0051] The advantage of this application is that the adjustable support plate 120 structure allows the winding diameter to be adjusted according to actual needs. Through the cooperation of the drive component and the sliding structure, precise diameter control is achieved, overcoming the shortcomings of low efficiency and poor accuracy of manual adjustment.

[0052] Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the support plate 120, different wire diameters or layer requirements can be matched, ensuring that the wire harness forms a regular arrangement rather than a planar stack during spiral winding. This allows the winding diameter to be dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of the wire harness, solving the compatibility problem caused by a fixed diameter. It enables flexible adjustment of the winding diameter according to the wire harness specifications, avoiding planar stacking of the wire harness due to fixed diameter limitations, and resulting in a uniformly distributed structure for the spirally stacked wire harness. This solution solves the problem that traditional devices cannot adapt to different wire diameters or layer requirements, improves the stability of the wound wire harness, and simultaneously increases space utilization to meet storage and handling requirements.

[0053] As a further improvement to the plan, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limit block 121 is provided on the support plate 120. The two limit blocks 121 are spaced apart along the axial extension direction of the mounting base 110. The two limit blocks 121 cooperate to form a constraint space for the wire harness winding arrangement.

[0054] It is understandable that the limiting block 121 refers to the protruding structure set on the surface of the support plate 120, which can be implemented by fixing metal blocks or plastic blocks with bolts.

[0055] Specifically, during the winding process, the wire harness is confined within the channel formed by the two limiting blocks 121 for spiral winding. When the rotating mechanism drives the winding fixture 100 to rotate, the lower limiting block 121 supports the wire harness. As the lifting mechanism 400 drives the winding fixture 100 to move axially, the wire harness forms equidistant spiral layers under the guidance of the constrained space. The upper limiting block 121 acts as a termination constraint for the winding of the wire harness. That is, when the wire harness is winding, after the wire harness comes into contact with the upper limiting block 121, the rotating mechanism receives a signal to stop driving the winding fixture 100 to rotate, and the winding of the wire harness ends.

[0056] If applied to winding of wire harnesses that have been cut to a fixed length, after the winding is completed, the transport mechanism 600 moves to a preset position and transfers the wound wire spool away from the winding fixture 100. The winding fixture 100 is then reset to prepare for the next wire harness winding.

[0057] If applied to wire harness winding with an unwinding machine, after winding is completed, the cutting mechanism moves to a preset position to cut the wire harness, the conveying mechanism 600 moves to a preset position and transfers the wound wire spool away from the winding fixture 100, and the winding fixture 100 is reset to prepare for the next wire harness winding.

[0058] In addition, this application also proposes a multi-core wire harness assembly line (not shown in the figure) that utilizes the aforementioned wire harness winding device. This device automates wire harness winding through a mechanical structure, specifically through the coordinated operation of a winding fixture 100, a first constraint mechanism 200, and a winding module. This replaces manual operation and controls the stacking trajectory of the wire harness. The winding fixture 100 provides support for wire harness winding and can be implemented using a combination of an adjustable diameter mounting base 110 and a support plate 120. Adjusting the position of the support plate 120 changes the winding diameter to accommodate different wire harness specifications. The first constraint mechanism 200 fixes the starting end of the wire harness and can be implemented using a combination of a clamping component and a translation or lifting mechanism to ensure the initial positioning accuracy of the wire harness. The winding module controls the wire harness winding path and can be implemented using a composite motion structure of a rotation mechanism and a translation mechanism. Rotation drives the winding fixture 100 or the constraint mechanism to form a circumferential motion, while translation along the axis forms a helical arrangement.

[0059] Specifically, the winding fixture provides physical support, the first constraint mechanism 200 fixes the starting end of the wire harness and adjusts its initial position, and the winding module drives the end of the wire harness to perform a combined rotational and translational motion. The rotation mechanism drives the winding fixture 100 to rotate on its own axis or the second constraint mechanism to rotate around it, causing the wire harness to perform a circumferential winding motion. The lifting mechanism 400 moves along the axis of the winding fixture 100, causing the wire harness to form an axial displacement during the winding process. The superposition of these two motions causes the wire harness to be wound in a spiral trajectory, avoiding single-point stacking and the formation of a planar disc-like structure. The support plate 120 of the winding fixture 100 can be adjusted by sliding to change the winding diameter. The transport mechanism 600 achieves automated transfer of the wound wire harness through lifting and clamping components.

[0060] This application achieves automated winding and eliminates manual intervention by controlling the spiral stacking path of the wire harness through a combination of rotation and translational motion. The adjustable winding diameter enhances the equipment's adaptability, meeting the production needs of wire harnesses of different specifications. It solves the technical deficiency of traditional equipment in guiding the spatial arrangement of wire harnesses, realizing automated spiral stacking winding of wire harnesses, eliminating the problem of low efficiency in manual operation, avoiding the planar disc-like structure formed by single-point stacking of wire harnesses, and improving the space utilization and handling convenience of the wound wire harness.
