[0042] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 8 The working principle of the present invention is described.

[0043] The integrated equipment of the present invention is composed of a computer system, a TSYB-400B2 hardware detection system, and a tooling operation table. The software system is a TSYB-400F detection system, which is upgraded from the TSYB-400B2 software. The working principle is simply to determine where to get the material and where to insert it according to the guidance of the indicator light, and at the same time detect whether the insertion is correct. If the insertion is correct, it will guide the next operation until the operation is completed.

[0044] The specific working principle is as follows: First, edit the detection file. Due to different types of automobiles, there will be different types of wiring harnesses, so the manufacturer should edit the detection file of the wiring harness according to its own wiring harness and production process, mainly including editing the induction to take the wiring harness connector and insert the wiring harness connector, editing the induction to take the wire and insert the wire, editing the pull back after inserting the wire, editing the detection of the detection lock, editing the induction to randomly insert the wire at the other end, pushing the secondary lock into place and detecting whether the secondary lock is in place; second, induction to take materials and induction assembly, first install the induction detection module 8 on the lower stand 1- 1, and then insert the induced wire harness connector into the induced detection module 8. Since the wire placement slot 6 is tilted on the upper rack 1-2, the front end of the wire placement slot 6 is provided with an induced material taking controller 5, and the material box 4 is arranged behind the operating table of the lower rack 1-1. The front end of the material box 4 is provided with a material box induced light 3 or a second induced material taking controller 31. The software makes the guide light (material box induced light 3, material taking indicator light 5-3, second material taking indicator light 31-3) light up to prompt the operator to take a certain material. When taking the material, the photoelectric switch is triggered, and the software The component determines that the material has been taken away based on the output signal of the photoelectric sensor. If the material is taken correctly, the hole induction indicator light 8-3 at the insertion position in the module body 8-1 will light up, and the obtained material (wire) will be placed in the corresponding hole. At this time, the inserted terminal will trigger the switch needle. The software determines that the switch needle is closed and enters the next step. This cycle completes the induced assembly; third, detection, call the edited detection file, and start the detection. The detection content includes detecting the induction indicator light 8-3 to induce the insertion of the wiring harness connector, detecting the induction indicator light 8-3 to induce the insertion of the wire and detecting the pullback (if the upper switch needle is triggered by pulling upward, it proves that the tension has been reached and the inserted terminal is secure, and the next step is performed.) Detect the induction indicator light 8-3 to insert the other end of the wire, push the secondary lock and detect the function of the secondary lock in place, automatically pop out the wire after the detection is qualified, and restore the disconnection of each switch needle after the detection wire is removed to prepare for the next detection; fourth, complete the detection. After the detection is completed, this wiring harness will be qualified and it will pop out. If the wiring harness connector pops up incorrectly or gets stuck, the wiring harness connector can be popped out by manually pressing the total spring plate assembly 14. After passing, you can choose to print a qualified label.

[0045] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
