Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wire harness processing equipment, and particularly relates to a throughput heat shrinker. Background Art

[0002] Different electrical components in an automobile need to be connected through a wire harness. The wire harness generally includes a wire and a terminal, and the connection position between the wire and the terminal needs to be wrapped with a sleeve. The existing wire harness processing technology generally heats the sleeve through a heat shrinker, so that the sleeve shrinks when heated, thereby wrapping and fixing the connection position between the wire and the terminal.

[0003] In order to allow the wire harness to quickly and conveniently enter the heat shrinkage space, the heating device for the wire harness generally needs to open a large feed port at the position corresponding to the heat shrinkage space on the heating device. As a result, during the heating process of the wire harness, heat is easily dissipated from the feed port position, reducing the heating efficiency and increasing the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, further improvement is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, and to provide a throughput heat shrinker, aiming to at least solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art to a certain extent.

[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0007] A throughput heat shrinker includes a main platform and a heating device having an upper heating block and a lower heating block. The upper heating block and the lower heating block respectively have an upper hollow portion and a lower hollow portion. A heat shrinkage space for heating the wire harness mechanism is formed between the upper hollow portion and the lower hollow portion. The heating device is connected with a first driving mechanism for opening or closing the heat shrinkage space.

[0008] A supporting module for placing the wire harness mechanism is provided on the main platform. The supporting module is movably connected to the main platform, and the supporting module can swing around its connection position with the main platform to approach or leave the heat shrinkage space.

[0009] The heating device is connected with a second driving mechanism for approaching or leaving the supporting module.

[0010] The upper hollow portion and the lower hollow portion are in a symmetrically circular arch shape.

[0011] The first driving mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder and a second lifting cylinder. The upper heating block is connected to the first lifting cylinder and makes a reciprocating motion in the up and down direction through it. The lower heating block is connected to the second lifting cylinder and makes a reciprocating motion in the up and down direction through it.

[0012] The second driving mechanism includes a translation cylinder and a guide rail. The guide rail is arranged in the front-back direction. The heating device is movably connected to the guide rail. The translation cylinder is connected to the heating device and makes the heating device move back and forth along the direction of the guide rail.

[0013] The supporting module includes a supporting basket. The upper end of the supporting basket is open, and the lower end is in a grid shape. A first swing arm is connected to the supporting basket, and the first swing arm is movably connected to the main platform.

[0014] There are two supporting modules arranged symmetrically left and right. A second swing arm is connected to the supporting plate, and the second swing arm is movably connected to the main platform. The upper side of the supporting plate has a plane where multiple wire harness mechanisms can be placed.

[0015] One end of the upper side of the supporting plate of the supporting module near the heat shrinking space is provided with a partition block for separating different wire harness mechanisms in the heat shrinking space.

[0016] Clamping devices for fixing the wire harness mechanism are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of the heating device on the main platform.

[0017] The clamping device of the supporting module includes a fixed block and an elastic sheet. The elastic sheet can be reset and deformed. A clamping gap corresponding to the wire harness mechanism is formed between the fixed block and the elastic sheet.

[0018] The clamping gap of the supporting module has an opening for the wire harness mechanism to pass through, and the opening is in the shape of being wider outside and narrower inside.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] By setting the first driving mechanism to control the opening or closing of the heat shrinking space, the wire harness mechanism can not only enter the heat shrinking space conveniently and quickly, but also improve the airtightness of the heat shrinking space during the heating process of the wire harness mechanism, enhance the heating efficiency, and reduce the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 - 6 , this throughput heat shrinker includes a main platform 1 and a heating device having an upper heating block 21 and a lower heating block 22. The upper heating block 21 and the lower heating block 22 respectively have an upper hollow portion 211 and a lower hollow portion 221. A heat shrinkage space for heating the wire harness mechanism is formed between the upper hollow portion 211 and the lower hollow portion 221. The heating device is connected with a first driving mechanism for opening or closing the heat shrinkage space.

[0030] By setting the first driving mechanism to control the opening or closing of the heat shrinkage space, the wire harness mechanism can not only enter the heat shrinkage space conveniently and quickly, but also improve the airtightness of the heat shrinkage space during the heating process of the wire harness mechanism, enhance the heating efficiency, and reduce the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0031] A supporting module for placing the wire harness mechanism is provided on the main platform 1. The supporting module is movably connected to the main platform 1. The supporting module can swing around its connection position with the main platform 1 to make it close to or away from the heat shrinkage space, making the overall setting of the supporting module more flexible and facilitating workers to store it.

[0032] The heating device is connected with a second driving mechanism for making it close to or away from the supporting module, making the cooperation between the heating device and the supporting module more flexible. When the heating of the wire harness structure is completed, the heating device can leave the position of the supporting module through the second driving mechanism, facilitating workers to take out the wire harness mechanism and add the wire harness mechanism.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper hollow portion 211 and the lower hollow portion 221 are in a mutually symmetric arch shape, which can make the heat in different positions of the heat shrinkage space formed by the combination of the upper hollow portion 211 and the lower hollow portion 221 more uniform, and make the heating effect on the wire harness mechanism better.

[0034] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder 31 and a second lifting cylinder 32. The upper heating block 21 is connected to the first lifting cylinder 31 and makes a reciprocating motion in the up and down direction through it. The lower heating block 22 is connected to the second lifting cylinder 32 and makes a reciprocating motion in the up and down direction through it.

[0035] In different embodiments, as an equivalent transformation of this embodiment, a first lifting cylinder 31 may be provided only on the upper heating block 21, or a second lifting cylinder 32 may be provided only on the lower heating block 22.

[0036] Furthermore, the second driving mechanism includes a translation cylinder 41 and a guide rail 42. The guide rail 42 is arranged in the front-back direction. The heating device is movably connected to the guide rail 42. The translation cylinder 41 is connected to the heating device and makes the heating device move back and forth along the direction of the guide rail 42. The cooperation of the translation cylinder 41 and the guide rail 42 can make the heating device move more stably in the front-back direction.

[0037] Furthermore, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the supporting module includes a supporting basket 51. The upper end of the supporting basket 51 is in an open shape, and the lower end is in a grid shape. A first swing arm 511 is connected to the supporting basket 51. The first swing arm 511 is movably connected to the main platform 1. The supporting basket 51 can place a wire harness mechanism with interconnected wire harness lines. The shape of the supporting basket 51 can enable it to both support the wire harness mechanism and avoid blocking the heat as much as possible, so that the heat receiving effect of the wire harness is better.

[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the supporting module includes two supporting plates 52 arranged symmetrically left and right. A second swing arm 521 is connected to the supporting plate 52. The second swing arm 521 is movably connected to the main platform 1. The upper side of the supporting plate 52 has a plane where multiple wire harness mechanisms can be placed, and multiple wire harness mechanisms can be heated simultaneously, improving the overall heating efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, at one end of the upper side of the supporting plate 52 of the supporting module near the heat shrinkage space, there is a partition block 522 for separating different wire harness mechanisms in the heat shrinkage space. The partition block 522 can prevent different wire harness mechanisms from being damaged due to mutual contact during the heating process.

[0040] Furthermore, clamping devices for fixing the wire harness mechanism are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of the heating device on the main platform 1, making the wire harness mechanism more stable during the heating process and not easily shifting. Moreover, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, when heating a single wire harness mechanism, the supporting module may not be used, and the wire harness mechanism can be directly fixed through the clamping device, simplifying the operation of workers.

[0041] ​​Further, the supporting module includes a clamping device which includes a fixing block 61 and an elastic sheet 62. The elastic sheet 62 can be reset and deformed. A clamping gap 63 corresponding to the wire harness mechanism is formed between the fixing block 61 and the elastic sheet 62. The overall structure of the supporting module is simple and easy for workers to operate.

[0042] Further, the clamping gap 63 of the supporting module has an opening 64 for the wire harness mechanism to pass through. The opening 64 is wider outside and narrower inside, so that the wire harness can more easily enter the clamping gap 63 from the opening 64.

[0043] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0044] The worker first determines the type of the wire harness mechanism, and swings the supporting basket 51 or the supporting plate 52 towards the heating device. When the supporting basket 51 or the supporting plate 52 enters the preset position, the second driving mechanism makes the heating device move towards the supporting basket 51 or the supporting plate 52 until the supporting basket 51 or the supporting plate 52 enters the heat shrinking space.

[0045] At this time, the first driving mechanism is activated to close the heat shrinking space, and the upper heating block 21 and the lower heating block 22 simultaneously heat the wire harness mechanism in the heat plastic space until the heat shrinking process of the wire harness mechanism is completed.

[0046] Finally, the first driving mechanism is activated to reopen the heat shrinking space, and the second driving mechanism resets to move the heating device away from the supporting basket 51 or the supporting plate 52.

[0047] The above embodiments are only the preferred solutions of the present invention, and the present invention may also have other implementation solutions. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included within the scope set by the claims of this application.
