Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wire harness anti-winding for racks in stereoscopic warehouses, and in particular to a wire harness anti-winding mechanism for a rack. Background Art

[0002] Stereoscopic warehouses have been widely adopted in warehouse management across many industries. The wire harness industry, one of the earliest adopters of steerable warehouses, has expanded its application beyond the storage of raw materials and finished products to encompass storage and production integration. For example, a fully automatic wire harness crimping machine extracts wire crimping terminals directly from the shelves in a steerable warehouse. However, this can cause cables to become entangled on the shelves, leading to cable breakage or damage, severely impacting production efficiency. A comprehensive solution to this problem has been lacking. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes an anti-winding mechanism for a wire harness rack.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0005] A wire harness rack anti-entanglement mechanism includes columns and crossbeams. The columns and crossbeams are interconnected to form a vertical storage location for placing wire harnesses. Several vertical storage locations form a rack. Trays for placing wire harnesses are provided on the vertical storage locations. Positions on the trays close to the columns are correspondingly provided and distributed side by side with the columns. Guide wires are used to prevent the wire harnesses from being entangled on the rack by reducing the wire swing amplitude when the wire harnesses are pulled out.

[0006] Preferably, there are four columns.

[0007] Preferably, the tray includes two storage plates that are horizontally symmetrically arranged on four columns.

[0008] Preferably, four threading holes passing through upward and downward are correspondingly provided on the two storage plates and close to the ends of the four pillars.

[0009] Preferably, there are four guide wires, which pass through four threading holes respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the guide wire is an elastic wire.

[0011] Preferably, four wire reel limiting protrusions are provided on the two storage plates.

[0012] Preferably, two symmetrically distributed brushes are provided on the side walls of the two columns on the same side as the wire harness drawing direction.

[0013] Preferably, there are two crossbeams, which are horizontally arranged on the columns in the same direction and the opposite direction of the wire harness drawing direction.

[0014] Preferably, two wire loops are correspondingly provided on the two beams. The wire loops provided on the beam in the same direction as the wire harness drawing direction are vertically distributed, and the wire loops provided on the beam in the opposite direction to the wire harness drawing direction are horizontally distributed. When the wire harness is drawn, it first passes through the horizontally distributed wire loops and then passes through the vertically distributed wire loops.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention adds a guiding wire with a guiding function on the vertical warehouse storage location to ensure that the cables will not be entangled on the shelves when the wire harnesses on the vertical warehouse storage location are pulled out, which greatly reduces the occurrence of cable breakage or damage to the wire harness automatic terminal crimping machine and improves work efficiency.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a wire harness rack anti-entanglement mechanism includes four columns 1 and two crossbeams 2. The two crossbeams 2 are horizontally welded to the front and rear sides of the four columns 1. The four columns 1 and the two crossbeams 2 are welded to each other to form a vertical storage location, and several vertical storage locations constitute a shelf. One vertical storage location is used to place one wire harness. Two storage plates 3 for placing wire harnesses are provided at the bottom of each vertical storage location and between the columns 1 on the left and right sides. The two storage plates 3 together form a tray for placing wire harnesses. Four wire reel limiting protrusions 6 are provided on the two storage plates 3 to prevent the wire reel from sliding and falling. Four wire threading holes 4 are provided on the front and rear ends of the two storage plates 3, which pass through the four holes 4. Four guide wires are provided through the four holes 4. The four guide wires are distributed close to the four columns 1 and are arranged diagonally side by side. The guide wires are elastic wires.

[0024] When the crimping machine is in use, the wire swings greatly when it quickly draws the wire, and the cable may get tangled in the screws installed on the column or the surrounding mounting plate beams. The present invention uses an elastic guide wire. When in use, the wire spun out of the existing wire reel first hits the guide wire. The guide wire is elastic and converts the kinetic energy of the cable into elastic potential energy, reducing the rebound force of the cable, thereby preventing the cable from getting tangled in the screws installed on the column or the surrounding mounting plate beams.

[0025] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed brushes 7 are provided on the side walls of the two front columns 1 , and the brushes 7 can protect the cable when the guide wire breaks.

[0026] Furthermore, two wire loops 5 are provided on each of the two crossbeams 2. The wire loops 5 on the front crossbeam 2 are arranged vertically, while the wire loops 5 on the rear crossbeam 2 are arranged horizontally. When the wire harness is drawn, it first passes through the rear wire loop 5 and then exits through the front wire loop 5. The addition of these wire loops 5 solves the problem of cables getting stuck on the reel when the crimping machine draws wire quickly.

[0027] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. The foregoing embodiments and description merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
