Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wire harness production, in particular to a twisted wire double-end insertion structure for automobile wire harness production. Background Art
[0002] Currently, existing wire harness processing centers can perform automated production operations for assembling several single wires (a single wire refers to a single conductor with an insulating protective layer, with terminals crimped on both ends) with multiple connectors. However, they cannot perform automated production operations for unwinding the obtained stranded wires (a stranded wire refers to two conductors with insulating protective layers twisted together at a certain density, with terminals crimped on both ends of each conductor) and inspecting, calibrating before assembly, performing preliminary assembly, calibrating during assembly, and fully assembling the unwound stranded wires into connectors. As a result, existing technology for the production of automotive wiring harnesses that require stranded wire assembly can only complete the stranded wire assembly through manual labor. Manual labor requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, is inefficient, and cannot meet the production needs of automotive wiring harnesses that require stranded wire assembly. On the other hand, existing wiring harness processing centers lack a wire storage structure, making wire storage production impossible. When producing automotive wiring harnesses with a large number of wires, wire tangles are prone to occur, making processing difficult or even impossible. The processing is greatly restricted, the scope of application is small, the versatility is poor, and the actual user experience is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a double-end insertion structure for stranded wires used in automotive wiring harness production that can be used in wiring harness processing centers, which can be used to realize the automated production of automotive wiring harnesses that require assembly of stranded wires, and also to realize wire storage production, thereby solving the defects of existing wiring harness processing centers that cannot realize automated production of automotive wiring harnesses that require assembly of stranded wires and cannot realize wire storage production.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention provides a double-end insertion structure for stranded wires used in automotive wiring harness production. This double-end insertion structure is applied to a wiring harness processing center (not shown in the drawings, and the prior art will not be described in detail), enabling automated production of automotive wiring harnesses that require or do not require stranded wires. Specifically, the double-end insertion structure includes a base plate 1, an X-axis motion mechanism 2, a Y-axis motion mechanism 3, a Z-axis motion mechanism 4, a stranded wire insertion mechanism 5, a detection mechanism 6, a wire transfer mechanism 7, and a wire storage mechanism 8.The base plate 1 is used to connect the wire harness processing center. In fact, the base plate 1 is installed on the frame of the wire harness processing center (not shown in the drawings, and the prior art is not described in detail). The X-axis motion mechanism 2 is connected to the top of the base plate 1. The wire moving mechanism 7 and the Y-axis motion mechanism 3 are connected to the X-axis motion mechanism 2 from left to right. The Z-axis motion mechanism 4 is connected to the Y-axis motion mechanism 3. The stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 is connected to the Z-axis motion mechanism 4. The detection mechanism 6 is connected to the bottom of the base plate 1. The wire storage mechanism 8 is placed below the wire moving mechanism 7. In fact, the wire storage mechanism 8 is installed below the wire moving mechanism 7 on the wire harness. On the frame of the machining center, a connector fixture 9 is also placed in front of the base plate 1, and the connector fixture 9 is also located on the right side of the wire storage mechanism 8. Several connectors are detachably placed on the connector fixture 9. In fact, the connector fixture 9 is installed in front of the base plate 1 and on the right side of the wire storage mechanism 8 on the fixture fixing structure of the harness machining center (not shown in the drawings, and the prior art is not described in detail). The X-axis motion mechanism 2 is used to drive the wire moving mechanism 7 and the Y-axis motion mechanism 3 to realize reciprocating linear motion in the left and right directions respectively. The Y-axis motion mechanism 3 is used to drive the Z-axis motion mechanism 4 to realize reciprocating linear motion in the front and back directions. The Z-axis motion The mechanism 4 is used to drive the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 to rise or fall, and the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 is used to realize, under the drive of the X-axis motion mechanism 2, the Y-axis motion mechanism 3 and the Z-axis motion mechanism 4, to clamp one stranded wire or single wire at a time in the form of a clamping wire body, to untie the stranded wire taken, to drive the clamped single wire or the untwisted stranded wire to rotate to perform horizontal correction of the terminal and to realize the switching of the terminal between horizontal placement and vertical placement, to preliminarily assemble the stranded wire or single wire after horizontal correction to the corresponding connector on the connector fixture 9, to perform terminal offset correction on the stranded wire or single wire preliminarily assembled on the connector, and to further assemble the stranded wire or single wire after offset correction. The first step is to assemble the stranded wire or single wire into the connector to realize the complete assembly of the stranded wire or single wire with the connector, transfer one end of the clamped stranded wire or single wire to the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage, and detect whether the stranded wire or single wire is assembled in place on the connector. The detection mechanism 6 is used to perform terminal level detection and terminal offset detection on the stranded wire or single wire transferred into the detection range of the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5, and to assist the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 in correcting the stranded wire or single wire. The wire moving mechanism 7 is used to realize wire moving by clamping the wire body, and the wire storage mechanism 8 is used to temporarily store one end of the stranded wire or single wire transferred by the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 by clamping the wire body.In fact, the double-end insertion structure of the stranded wire used in the production of automotive wiring harnesses is equipped with a control device when it is used, which is common knowledge. Specifically, the control device is electrically connected to the X-axis motion mechanism 2, the Y-axis motion mechanism 3, the Z-axis motion mechanism 4, the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5, the detection mechanism 6, the line moving mechanism 7 and the line storage mechanism 8, and the control device controls the operation of the X-axis motion mechanism 2, the Y-axis motion mechanism 3, the Z-axis motion mechanism 4, the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5, the detection mechanism 6, the line moving mechanism 7 and the line storage mechanism 8. For example, when the detection mechanism 6 completes the transportation to its detection range When performing terminal level detection and terminal offset detection on a single wire or stranded wire, the detection mechanism 6 feeds back the detection results to the control device, which then controls the operation of the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 based on the detection results, so that the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 completes terminal level correction before assembling the single wire or stranded wire to the connector, and completes terminal offset correction during the process of assembling the single wire or stranded wire to the connector, thereby ensuring that each single wire or stranded wire installed on the connector is in an aligned state, achieving precise positioning and assembly, and achieving a good assembly effect.

That is, during the assembly process of the automobile wiring harness, the force sensor 32 automatically collects the insertion force of the terminal during the entire process of inserting the connector, so that the device can compare and analyze whether there is any abnormality in the terminal insertion process based on the pre-set standard insertion force, and then automatically prevent the terminal from being inserted further when an abnormality is found in the terminal insertion, and when a stranded wire or single wire is found, the device can automatically prevent the terminal from being inserted further when an abnormality is found in the terminal insertion. When there is an abnormality in the insertion of a terminal of a wire, the terminal of the stranded wire or single wire is pulled out and the stranded wire or single wire is discarded, and the stranded wire or single wire of the same specification is reassembled with the connector in a supplementary manner, which can effectively avoid the existence of defective terminals on the connector. When the terminal of the stranded wire or single wire is assembled with the connector, each of the stranded wire insertion components moves the two wire clamps 36 forward through the action of the first motor 21, so that the two wire clamps 36 pull the terminals of the wires they clamp back, and during the retreat of the terminal of the stranded wire or single wire, the force sensor 32 detects that the terminal is inserted into the connector. The fixing force after the connector is used to detect whether the terminal of the stranded wire or single wire is installed in place.

Then, the stranded wire or single wire of the same specification is supplemented by the way of filling the wire and the terminal and the connector are reassembled, so that the connector can be assembled with another stranded wire or single wire of the same specification again, and the assembly is guaranteed by filling the wire. Each stranded wire or single wire connected to the connector can be installed in place; in addition, when the insertion of the terminal on one end of the wire (that is, one end of a single wire or one end of a conductor of a stranded wire) clamped by any of the stranded wire insertion components into the connector will interfere with the smooth progress of the subsequent stranded wire or single wire assembly work, the corresponding stranded wire insertion component will transfer one end of the stranded wire or single wire to the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage under the drive of the X-axis motion mechanism 2, the Y-axis motion mechanism 3 and the Z-axis motion mechanism 4, and after the assembly interference is resolved, the one end of the stranded wire or single wire temporarily stored on the wire storage mechanism 8 will be retrieved and assembled, thereby realizing wire storage production;

When working, the third linear motor 48 realizes stroke detection through the sixth sensor 52 and the sixth sensor plate 53, thereby realizing stroke control.
[0061] In this embodiment, the line moving mechanism 7 includes a third mounting frame 54 and two identical line moving assemblies; the third mounting frame 54 is arranged on the double-motor linear motor on the left side of the first mounting plate 10, that is, the third mounting frame 54 and the first mounting plate 10 are arranged on the double-motor linear motor from left to right, and the third mounting frame 54 is driven to move left or right by the double-motor linear motor; the two line moving assemblies are arranged on the front side of the third mounting frame 54 from left to right, and each line moving assembly is used to realize line moving by clamping the line body;
[0062] Furthermore, each of the line moving assemblies includes a fourth slide rail 56 placed on the third mounting frame 54, a second connecting block 57 placed on the fourth slide rail 56 in a sliding connection, a lifting cylinder 55 placed on the third mounting frame 54 above the fourth slide rail 56 and connected to the second connecting block 57, and a first double-line storage claw 58 placed on the second connecting block 57. The lifting cylinder 55 is used to drive the second connecting block 57 to rise or fall along the fourth slide rail 56, so that the first double-line storage claw 58 connected to the second connecting block 57 rises or falls accordingly. The first double-line storage claw 58 is used to clamp the line body under the drive of the X-axis motion mechanism 2 and the lifting cylinder 55. that is, during operation, the first double-wire storage claw 58 is moved leftward or rightward by the action of the X-axis motion mechanism 2 (i.e., the double-motor linear motor), and the first double-wire storage claw 58 is raised or lowered by the action of the lifting cylinder 55, and one end of the stranded wire or single wire is clamped or released by the action of the first double-wire storage claw 58 itself, so that when the stranded wire insertion mechanism clamps one end of the stranded wire, the other end of the stranded wire can be clamped in the same way as the wire body is clamped, and the other end of the stranded wire can be temporarily stored on the wire storage mechanism 8 under the drive of the X-axis motion mechanism 2, or the temporary storage position of the stranded wire or single wire on the wire storage mechanism 8 can be transferred in the way of clamping the wire body, thereby realizing wire moving.

[0064] In this embodiment, the structures of each of the first double-line storage claw 58 and the second double-line storage claw 60 are identical, and the only difference is the installation position and the matching object;
[0065] Furthermore, each of the first double-wire storage claw 58 and the second double-wire storage claw 60 is composed of a claw body A and a first claw B and a second claw C respectively connected to the output part of the claw body A. Specifically, the claw body A includes any one of a pneumatic claw and an electric claw; that is, during operation, the claw body A drives the first claw B and the second claw C to move closer to each other or away from each other, thereby being able to clamp or loosen one end of the stranded wire or a single wire.
[0066] The working process and principle of the present invention are as follows:
[0067] When the double-end insertion structure of the stranded wire used in the production of automotive wiring harnesses only performs the assembly work of a single wire and a connector, the first linear motor 11 is driven to move left or right by the double-acting linear motor, the second linear motor 13 is driven forward or backward by the first linear motor 11, and the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are driven to rise or fall by the second linear motor 13, thereby driving the two stranded wire insertion assemblies to realize movement in three-dimensional space, and each stranded wire insertion assembly drives its own two wire clamps 36 to move forward or backward through its own first motor 21, and each stranded wire insertion assembly also drives its own two wire clamps 36 to move away from each other to open or move closer to each other to close through its own wire clamp cylinder 38, so that each stranded wire insertion assembly can clamp the wire through its own two wire clamps 36 in cooperation with the external wire feeding mechanism. one end of the same single wire is clamped in a body manner; when the two twisted wire insertion assemblies transfer the terminals on one end of the wire they clamp into the detection range of the imaging device 50 under the drive of the double-motor linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13, the two terminals of the wire are subjected to terminal level detection and terminal offset detection by the imaging device 50, and when the imaging device 50 detects that the upper surface of one of the two terminals of the single wire is not horizontal, the corresponding second motor 22 drives the corresponding wire clamp connecting tube 34 to rotate, so that the wire clamp connecting tube 34 drives the wire clamp claw 36 placed in the wire clamp connecting tube 34 to rotate and adjust the angle, thereby achieving the correction of the terminal on the wire to a state where the upper surface is horizontal, and then making the two terminals on the wire in a horizontal state before being inserted into the connector;When the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are driven by the double-acting linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13 to transfer the terminals on one end of the wire they clamp to the front of the connector clamp 9, one of the stranded wire insertion assemblies is driven by the double-acting linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13 to transfer the terminals on one end of the wire they clamp to the front of a connector. If the terminal on the end wire needs to be vertically assembled into the connector (that is, the corresponding mounting hole of the terminal on the connector is a vertical hole), then the second motor 22 of the stranded wire insertion assembly will be started first to switch the terminal on the end wire from horizontal to vertical placement (and if the terminal is installed horizontally, there is no need to start the second motor 22). Second motor 22), then the first motor 21 of the stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the two wire clamps 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly move backward to preliminarily insert the terminal into the connector. If the terminal is detected to be offset in the previous detection, the double-acting linear motor (corresponding to the terminal offset correction when the terminal is installed horizontally) or the second linear motor 13 (corresponding to the terminal offset correction when the terminal is installed horizontally and vertically) will be started to drive the stranded wire insertion assembly to make corresponding movements to correct the offset of the terminal, so that the terminal is in an aligned state through the horizontal correction before inserting the connector and the offset correction after the preliminary insertion of the connector. After the offset correction is completed, the first motor 21 is started, so that the two wire clamps 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly are Continue to move backward to complete the operation of assembling the terminal on the connector, and then the first motor 21 runs in the reverse direction, so that the two wire clamping claws 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly move forward and retreat to pull the wire. During this retreat process, the force sensor 32 placed on the movable frame 31 of the stranded wire insertion assembly detects the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector. If it is detected that the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector meets the standard, the wire clamping cylinder 38 of the stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the two wire clamping claws 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly move away from each other to loosen the wire. If it is detected that the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector does not meet the standard, the first motor 21 of the stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the two wire clamping claws of the stranded wire insertion assembly move away from each other to loosen the wire. The claw 36 continues to move forward to pull the terminal out of the connector, and the wire clamping cylinders 38 of the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are activated, so that the two wire clamping claws 36 of each stranded wire insertion assembly are opened away from each other to discard the wire and perform the wire filling operation (that is, re-taking the wire, terminal level and offset detection, level correction, preliminary assembly, offset correction, complete assembly and fixing force detection), thereby ensuring that each terminal assembled to the connector is installed in place with good processing quality. After one stranded wire insertion assembly assembles the terminal on the wire end it clamps into place, the other stranded wire insertion assembly assembles the terminal on the wire end it clamps into the other connector using the same principle. The steps and processes are described above and will not be repeated here.When the two stranded wire insertion components have assembled the terminals on one end of the wire they clamp into place on the corresponding connector, the assembly of a wire and the connector is completed; in addition, when the insertion of one end of the wire clamped by a stranded wire insertion component into the connector will interfere with the smooth progress of the subsequent single wire assembly work, the corresponding stranded wire insertion component, driven by the double-acting linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13, transfers one end of the wire to the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage, and retrieves the end of the wire for assembly after the assembly interference is released. Due to the movement restriction between the wire moving mechanism 7 and the Y-axis motion mechanism 3, the stranded wire insertion component cannot directly transfer the single-end wire to a certain place on the left side of the wire storage mechanism 8. The wire ends are temporarily stored on the second double-wire storage claw 60. The stranded wire insertion assembly will temporarily store the wire end on another accessible second double-wire storage claw 60. At this point, the wire moving mechanism 7, driven by the dual-motor linear motor, needs to move the wire end to a second double-wire storage claw 60 on the left for temporary storage. The wire moving mechanism 7, driven by the dual-motor linear motor, also moves the wire temporarily stored on the second double-wire storage claw 60 on the left to another second double-wire storage claw 60 for temporary storage, allowing the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 to remove the temporarily stored wire. This cycle completes the assembly of several single wires and multiple connectors, thereby enabling mass production of automotive wiring harnesses that do not require stranded wire.
[0068] When the double-end insertion structure of the stranded wire used in the production of automotive wiring harnesses only performs the assembly work of the stranded wires and the connector, the two stranded wire insertion components are driven by the double-acting linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13 to realize the movement in three-dimensional space, and each stranded wire insertion component drives its own two wire clamping claws 36 to move forward or backward through its own first motor 21, and each stranded wire insertion component also drives its own two wire clamping claws 36 to move away from each other to open or move closer to each other through its own wire clamping cylinder 38, so that each stranded wire insertion component can clamp one end of one of the wires at the same end of the stranded wire by clamping the wire body through its own two wire clamping claws 36 in cooperation with the external wire feeding mechanism, and through the wire moving mechanism 7 driven by the double-acting linear motor Under the cooperation of the external wire feeding mechanism and the giving way of the Y-axis motion mechanism 3, the other end of the stranded wire is moved to any second double-wire storage claw 60 of the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage. Then, under the action of the second motor 22 of the two stranded wire insertion assemblies, the two stranded wire insertion assemblies untie one end of the clamped stranded wire by a certain distance to realize automatic unwinding of the stranded wire; when the two stranded wire insertion assemblies transfer the terminal of the clamped stranded wire at one end to the detection range of the imaging device 50 under the drive of the double-motor linear motor, the first linear motor 11 and the second linear motor 13, the imaging device 50 performs terminal level detection and terminal detection on the two terminals of the stranded wire at this end, and the imaging device 50 detects that there is a terminal upper surface that is not wet on the two terminals of the stranded wire at this end. When the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are driven by the dual-motor linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13 to transfer the two terminals of the clamped stranded wire at one end to the front of a connector, the first motor 21 of one or two stranded wire insertion assemblies is started (there is interference (including different installation methods of the two terminals, that is, one terminal is installed horizontally and the other terminal is installed vertically, or the two terminals are in a horizontal state). When the sub-installation spacing is too large, etc., the two stranded wire insertion assemblies assemble the terminals and the connector one by one, and when there is no interference, the two stranded wire insertion assemblies can be processed at the same time, and the processing method is more flexible), so that the wire clamping claw 36 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly moves backward to preliminarily insert the terminal into the connector. If one of the two terminals of the stranded wire at this end is detected to be offset in the previous detection, it is necessary to use the double-acting linear motor or the corresponding second motor 22 to drive the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly to move to correct the offset of the terminal (when one terminal is offset, the terminal without offset is first assembled to the connector, and then the offset terminal is corrected; when two terminals are offset and the offset directions are opposite, one terminal is first corrected and assembled into place, and then the other terminal is corrected);When there are two terminal offsets and the offset directions are the same, the two terminals are corrected at the same time), so that the terminals are in an aligned state through horizontal correction before inserting into the connector and offset correction after preliminary insertion into the connector. After the offset correction is completed, the first motor 21 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the wire clamping claw 36 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly continues to move backward to complete the operation of assembling the terminal on the connector, and then the first motor 21 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly runs in the opposite direction, so that the wire clamping claw 36 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly moves forward and retreats to pull the wire. During this retreat process, the force sensor 32 placed on the movable frame 31 of the stranded wire insertion assembly detects the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector. If it is detected that the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector meets the standard, the wire clamp cylinder 38 of the stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the wire clamping claws 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly move away from each other to loosen the wire. If it is detected that the fixing force of the terminal after being inserted into the connector does not meet the standard, the first motor 21 of the corresponding stranded wire insertion assembly is started, so that the wire clamping claws 36 of the stranded wire insertion assembly move away from each other to loosen the wire. The wire clamping claw 36 of the insertion assembly continues to move forward to pull the terminal out of the connector, and the wire clamping cylinders 38 of the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are started, so that the two wire clamping claws 36 of each stranded wire insertion assembly are opened away from each other to discard the wire and perform the wire filling operation (that is, re-taking the wire, twisting the wire, terminal level and offset detection, level correction, preliminary assembly, offset correction, complete assembly and fixing force detection), thereby ensuring that each terminal assembled to the connector is installed in place with good processing quality; if the two stranded wire insertion assemblies are used to assemble the terminal and the connector in sequence, after one of the stranded wire insertion assemblies assembles the terminal on the wire (or wire) at one end it clamps into place, the other stranded wire insertion assembly assembles the terminal on the wire (or wire) at one end it clamps into the same connector using the same principle, and the steps and processes are described above and will not be repeated here; when the two stranded wire insertion assemblies have assembled the terminal on the stranded wire at one end they clamp into place on the corresponding connector, the assembly of a stranded wire and the connector is completed;In addition, when the insertion connector of one end of the stranded wire clamped by the stranded wire insertion assembly will interfere with the smooth progress of the subsequent stranded wire assembly work, the two stranded wire insertion assemblies, driven by the double-acting linear motor, the first linear motor 11, and the second linear motor 13, transfer one end of the stranded wire to the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage, and retrieve the stranded wire at this end for assembly after the assembly interference is released. Due to the movement restriction between the wire moving mechanism 7 and the Y-axis motion mechanism 3, the stranded wire insertion assembly cannot directly transfer the stranded wire to the several second double-wire storage claws 60 on the left side of the wire storage mechanism 8 for temporary storage. The stranded wire insertion assembly will temporarily store one end of the stranded wire on the remaining second double-wire storage claws 60 that can be reached. When the stranded wire is needed, the wire moving mechanism 7, driven by the dual-motor linear motor, moves the stranded wire to a second double-wire storage claw 60 on the left side for temporary storage. The wire moving mechanism 7, driven by the dual-motor linear motor, moves the stranded wire temporarily stored on a second double-wire storage claw 60 on the left side to another second double-wire storage claw 60 for temporary storage, so that the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 can remove the temporarily stored stranded wire. Thus, with the cooperation of the wire moving mechanism 7, the stranded wire insertion mechanism 5 can sequentially remove all stranded wires temporarily stored on the storage mechanism 8. This cycle can complete the assembly of multiple stranded wires and multiple connectors, thereby realizing mass production of automotive wiring harnesses requiring stranded wires.
[0069] When the automotive wiring harness is produced using a twisted wire double-end insertion structure to produce automotive wiring harnesses that contain both twisted wires and single wires, the twisted wires and single wires are assembled in sequence according to the assembly order. The assembly principle and process of each twisted wire and single wire refer to the above description, and the principle and process of wire storage and transfer also refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here. This cycle is repeated to achieve mass production of automotive wiring harnesses that contain both twisted wires and single wires.
[0070] It is worth mentioning that the second motor can realize the switching between horizontal placement and vertical placement of the terminal, and the terminal installation method is more diverse and flexible, which can meet the assembly requirements of more types of connectors, and during the assembly process, the force sensor 32 can automatically collect the insertion force of the terminal into the connector throughout the entire process, so that the equipment can compare and analyze whether there is any abnormality in the terminal insertion process according to the pre-set standard insertion force, and then automatically prevent the terminal from continuing to be inserted when the terminal insertion is abnormal. When it is found that the terminal insertion is abnormal, the terminal of the stranded wire or single wire is pulled out and discarded, and the stranded wire or single wire of the same specification is re-assembled by patching. It can effectively avoid the existence of defective terminals on the connector, and then cooperate with the fixing force detection work and patching work after the assembly of the terminal and connector is completed, and finally ensure that the terminal of each stranded wire or single wire assembled on the connector can be well installed in place, thereby ensuring the precise positioning and assembly of the terminal and connector, and good assembly effect.
