Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wire harness casing processing equipment, and in particular relates to a wire harness automatic casing drying equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure that the wire harnesses do not interfere with each other and are safe during connection, a layer of sleeve is placed on the surface of the wire harness. Currently, most of the sleeves are high-temperature resistant insulating tubes. When producing the wire harness, the sleeve must be cut according to the length of the wire harness head, and then the wire harness must be accurately inserted into the sleeve. Finally, heat shrink treatment is performed to tightly wrap the sleeve around the surface of the wire harness. The above process currently requires manual processing in sequence, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also brings high labor costs to the company.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is a difficult problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently to develop a device that can efficiently dry the wire harness and the sleeve. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a wire harness automatic bushing drying device.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A wire harness automatic casing drying device comprises an automatic casing feeding mechanism, a wire harness clamping mechanism and a heating mechanism; the automatic casing feeding mechanism comprises a casing feeding piece, a switchable casing accommodating chamber and a casing cutter; the switchable casing accommodating chamber is arranged at the end of the casing feeding piece; the casing cutter is arranged between the casing feeding piece and the casing accommodating chamber through a cutter cylinder; the wire harness clamping mechanism comprises a material clamp that can move relatively, and its position corresponds to the casing accommodating chamber; the heating mechanism is arranged above the casing accommodating chamber.

[0007] The present invention provides a wire harness automatic tube drying device, which includes an automatic tube feeding mechanism, a wire harness clamping mechanism and a heating mechanism, wherein the automatic tube feeding mechanism includes a tube feeding piece, a switchable tube accommodating chamber and a tube cutter; the switchable tube accommodating chamber is arranged at the end of the tube feeding piece, and the tube enters the tube accommodating chamber after feeding, and then the tube cutter is driven up and down by the cutter cylinder to perform a fixed-length cutting, and after completing a tube operation, it is switched to the next tube accommodating chamber for repetition. The wire harness clamping mechanism includes a material clamp corresponding to the tube accommodating chamber and capable of relative movement, and the wire harness is positioned by the relative movement of the material clamp to ensure that it can be accurately inserted into the tube; finally, the wire harness is subjected to heat shrinkage treatment by the heating effect of the heating mechanism arranged above the tube accommodating chamber; thus, the connection between the wire harness and the tube and the heat shrinkage of the tube are realized.

[0008] Furthermore, the automatic sleeve feeding mechanism also includes a dividing plate and a switching motor; the center of the dividing plate is axially fixed to the output shaft of the switching motor; the sleeve accommodating cavities are evenly distributed on the edge of the dividing plate and are switched as the dividing plate rotates.

[0009] In order to ensure that the position of the sleeve accommodating cavity remains accurate during continuous operation, the sleeve automatic feeding mechanism in the present invention is also provided with a dividing plate and a switching motor. The dividing plate is driven by the switching motor to rotate at a fixed angle, and each time it rotates at the same angle, to ensure that the sleeve accommodating cavity set at the edge of the dividing plate can accurately correspond to the position of the material clamp when rotating.

[0010] Furthermore, the harness clamping mechanism comprises a loading clamp and a unloading clamp which can move up and down relatively, and are respectively installed on the output ends of the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder, and the loading clamp and the unloading clamp are provided with clamping grooves at corresponding positions.

[0011] The wire harness clamping mechanism in the present invention consists of two upper and lower clamps that can move up and down relative to each other, and are moved up and down by an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder respectively. At the same time, clamping grooves are provided at corresponding positions of the upper and lower clamps, which can be used to tightly position and clamp the wire harness.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating mechanism is a heating air blow pipe.

[0013] The heating mechanism in the present invention is a heating air blow pipe, which is safer than electric heating and still has good heating and heat shrinking processing functions for using a high-temperature resistant insulating tube as a sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the sleeve feeding part includes a feeding tube, a feeding roller and a position-fixing track; there are two feeding rollers, which are arranged at the outlet end of the feeding tube correspondingly up and down; the position-fixing track is arranged between the feeding roller and the sleeve accommodating cavity.

[0015] The sleeve feeding part in the present invention is arranged with a feeding pipe, a feeding roller and a position fixing track in sequence toward the sleeve accommodating chamber, wherein the feeding pipe is used for continuously feeding the sleeve and reaches between the two feeding rollers. The sleeve is input into the position fixing track through the rotation of the feeding roller, and the position of the sleeve is fixed to ensure that the wire harness can be inserted into the sleeve.

[0016] Furthermore, the harness clamping mechanism also includes a harness head stopper; the harness head stopper includes a harness head stopper rod and a harness head stopper module that drives the harness head stopper rod to move back and forth.

[0017] The wire harness clamping mechanism in the present invention is also provided with a wire harness head stopper, which is selectively composed of a wire harness head stopper rod and a wire harness head stopper module. The wire harness head stopper rod is driven to move back and forth by the wire harness head stopper module to stop the wire harness inserted into the sleeve at a specified position.

[0018] Furthermore, the heating blowing pipe also reciprocates through the heating blowing module, and the lower surface of the heating blowing pipe is evenly distributed with heating blowing holes.

[0019] Correspondingly, the heating air blowing pipe in the present invention is also reciprocated by the heating air blowing module to ensure that the air blowing heating is performed after the wiring harness is inserted into the sleeve.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a waste blowing pipe; the waste blowing pipe is respectively arranged toward the sleeve accommodating cavity and the material clamp.

[0021] The present invention is also provided with a waste blowing pipe for blowing away the sleeves which are unqualified or bad in heat shrinkage.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a sensor; the sensor is arranged on the wire harness clamping mechanism and is connected with the heating mechanism.

[0023] The present invention is also provided with a sensor, through which the actions of the operator are sensed to ensure safe operation.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] 1. It provides a tube drying equipment that integrates the functions of tube cutting to fixed length, wiring harness positioning and insertion, and tube heat shrinkage. The overall structure has a high degree of automation and good practicality.
