Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire winding and binding technology, and in particular to a wire harness clamping mechanism used in wire harness winding and binding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the wire harness processing of winding machines, the clamping, positioning, and end treatment of the wire harness are key aspects affecting the winding quality. Existing wire harness clamping mechanisms have the following shortcomings: First, the clamping structure is simple, mostly using unidirectional clamping, which is difficult to adapt to the stable clamping requirements of annular wire harnesses, easily leading to wire harness slippage or deformation; second, there is a lack of dedicated wire harness clamping components, causing annular wire harnesses to easily loosen axially during clamping, resulting in disordered arrangement during winding; third, the connectors at the wire harness ends lack precise clamping and positioning mechanisms, easily shifting during winding, affecting subsequent assembly accuracy; fourth, the wire harness tail section lacks a dedicated positioning structure, and a loose or unstable tail section can lead to irregular winding ends, or even winding errors. These problems collectively result in low winding efficiency, low product qualification rate, and difficulty in meeting the requirements of high-precision wire harness processing.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a wire harness clamping mechanism for use in wire harness winding and binding equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a wire harness clamping mechanism for use in wire harness winding and binding equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a wire harness gripper mechanism applied in a wire harness winding and binding device, comprising:

[0006] A robotic arm, wherein the moving end of the robotic arm is provided with a horizontally arranged connecting plate;

[0007] A wire harness gripper assembly is fixed to the bottom of the connecting disc and is used to grip or release a wire harness wound in a ring shape.

[0008] A wire harness clamping assembly is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting disc and is used to clamp the wire harness, which is wound in a ring shape and held in the wire harness clamping claw assembly, along the axial direction.

[0009] A connector gripper assembly is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting disc and is used to grip the connector fixed to the end of the wire harness.

[0010] A tail-end positioning hook assembly is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting disc and is used to hook and position the tail segment of the wire harness.

[0011] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the wire harness clamping claw assembly includes a wire harness clamping claw one and a wire harness clamping claw two. The wire harness clamping claw one and the wire harness clamping claw two are arranged at a 90-degree angle on the bottom side of the connecting plate and are driven by their respective clamping claw cylinders to clamp or release the wire harness.

[0012] A preferred technical solution is as follows: the wire harness clamp one and the wire harness clamp two have the same structure and each includes clamp one and clamp two. The inner side of clamp one is provided with a wire harness groove one and a slot part from bottom to top. The inner side of clamp two is provided with a wire harness groove two and a protrusion part from bottom to top. The wire harness groove one and the wire harness groove two are correspondingly matched to form a ring structure for clamping multiple wire harnesses. The slot part and the protrusion part are correspondingly matched.

[0013] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the wire harness clamping assembly consists of a telescopic cylinder and a Y-shaped fork. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting plate and is used to drive the Y-shaped fork to move up and down. The Y-shaped fork includes a connecting part and two opposing fork parts. The connecting part is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder. The two fork parts are opposite to each other and located on both sides of the clamping jaws, and are used to clamp the wire harness that is restricted in the wire harness grooves.

[0014] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the connector gripper assembly consists of connector grippers and connector gripper cylinders. The connector gripper cylinder is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting plate and is used to drive the two sets of connector grippers to grip or release the connector.

[0015] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the line tail positioning hook claw assembly consists of a hook claw mounting base, an L-shaped connecting rod, a hook claw, and a telescopic cylinder II. The hook claw mounting base is fixed to the bottom side of the connecting plate. The L-shaped connecting rod includes a horizontal section, a vertical section, and an intermediate section connecting the horizontal section and the vertical section. The bottom side of the hook claw mounting base is provided with a mounting groove. The intermediate section is hinged in the mounting groove. The telescopic cylinder II is fixed in the hook claw mounting base and its telescopic end is vertically downward and hinged to the horizontal section. The hook claw is fixed to the vertical section and is used to hook the end of the line harness.

[0016] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The wire harness clamping assembly adopts a double clamping structure arranged at a 90-degree angle. Combined with the annular design of the wire harness groove and the interlocking of the slot and the protrusion, it achieves multi-directional stable clamping of the annular wire harness, avoiding slippage or deformation.

[0018] The wire harness clamping assembly clamps the wire harness axially via a Y-shaped fork, effectively preventing the looped wire harness from loosening and ensuring that the winding arrangement is neat.

[0019] The connector gripper assembly is specifically designed for connectors at the end of wire harnesses, enabling precise clamping and positioning, preventing connector misalignment during winding, and improving subsequent assembly accuracy.

[0020] The line tail positioning hook assembly uses hooks to stably hold the end of the line harness, ensuring a fixed end position and preventing winding errors caused by a loose end.

[0021] All components are integrated into the connecting plate, and the entire assembly is moved and adjusted by a robotic arm to perform functions such as clamping, pressing, and positioning, which greatly improves winding efficiency and product qualification rate. Attached Figure Description
