[0066] Based on the collecting and discharging method of the waste cable of the Ethernet cable bundle, the following steps are included:

[0067] Step one, at one end of the carrier 2, the Ethernet cable waste line is sent into the wire clamping mechanism 9 in a horizontal direction, the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line is on the inner side, towards the wire cutting mechanism, the wire body segment of the waste line is on the outer side, close to the wire clamping mechanism; the wire body segment of the Ethernet cable waste line is clamped by the wire clamping mechanism 9, the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line is in a suspended state on one side of the wire clamping mechanism 9; when the wire clamping mechanism clamps the Ethernet cable waste line, the Ethernet waste line tends to be in a horizontal state as a whole, so that the subsequent cutting action can be smoothly realized; the cutting position of the waste line is close to the wire body of the terminal, after the wire body at this position is cut off, the terminal of the waste line can be separated from the wire body clamped by the wire clamping mechanism, so that the terminal of the waste line is cut off.

[0068] Step two, the wire clamping mechanism 9 moves in the vertical direction to make up for the distance between the cutting position on the Ethernet cable waste line and the wire cutting position of the wire cutting mechanism, so that the Ethernet cable waste line can be accurately moved to the wire cutting position of the wire cutting mechanism 5, that is, the cutting position of the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line is moved to the wire cutting position of the wire cutting mechanism 5.

[0069] Step three, the initial state of the two wire cutting knives in the wire cutting mechanism 5 is open, there is no cutting force between the two wire cutting knives, when the Ethernet cable waste line at the cutting position enters between the two wire cutting knives, the two wire cutting knives are ready to cut the wire, that is, the two wire cutting knives form a closing action between them, the cooperation between the two wire cutting knives cuts off the wire body of the terminal of the Ethernet cable waste line between them, so that the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line is cut off by the cooperation of the two wire cutting knives, after the wire cutting mechanism 5 cuts off the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line, the top plate 17 moves above the hopper in the horizontal direction on the fixed carrier plate 16 under the action of the telescopic drive 26, since the wire cutting mechanism is on the top plate 17, the wire cutting mechanism moves together; the cut-off terminal of the Ethernet cable waste line is guided by the guide plate 23 and enters the hopper 4, realizing the collection of the terminal segment of the Ethernet cable waste line.

[0070] Step four, while or after the wire cutting mechanism 5 moves towards the hopper 4, the wire clamping mechanism 9 carries the wire body of the Ethernet cable waste line clamped by the wire clamping mechanism 9 to the other end of the carrier 2 under the action of the moving carrier plate 8, the driving of the driving motor 10 and the guidance of the linear guide rail 6, when it moves to the lower position, the wire clamping mechanism 9 releases the clamping force on the wire body, the wire body falls under the action of gravity to realize the lower line, so as to separate and collect the terminal and the wire body of the waste line.

[0071] Step five, after the whole winding and lower line action is completed, the wire clamping mechanism 9 and the wire cutting mechanism 5 return to the initial position, the wire clamping mechanism returns to the corresponding wire clamping state, and the wire cutting mechanism returns to the waiting cutting state, waiting for the next winding and lower line work. The whole winding and lower line process is automatically operated, with high automation degree and improved work efficiency.

[0072] Of course, the wire clamping mechanism in the present application can also be used alone. For example, when the present device is applied to an entire automatic production line of Ethernet wire harnesses, the waste wire needs to go through the wire clamping and cutting processes to cut and separate the terminal from the wire body; while the qualified wire harness does not need to go through the wire cutting process and can be directly clamped by the wire clamping mechanism and sent to the next position for the next work.

[0073] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application for describing the technical solutions of the present application, but not limiting them, and are not limiting the patent scope of the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application; in addition, the technical solutions of the present application are directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, which are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
