[0042] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a wire harness arrangement mechanism 1, which comprises a rack 11, a plurality of wire arranging assemblies 12 and a plurality of counterweight assemblies 13, which are all mounted on the rack 11; the counterweight assembly 13 comprises a roller 131, a counterweight 132 and a guide shaft 133 mounted on the rack 11, and the counterweight 132 is slidingly mounted on the guide shaft 133; it can be understood that the counterweight 132 is provided with a through hole, and the counterweight 132 is slidingly mounted on the guide shaft 133 through the through hole, and the guide shaft 133 is mounted on the rack 11 in the vertical direction; and the number of the rollers 131 can be set according to actual needs, that is, the rollers 131 determine the number of the to-be-arranged wire harnesses 100 in the final wire harness group.

[0043] Each of the wire arranging assemblies 12 comprises a wire arranging disc set 121 and a wire guide wheel set 122 arranged opposite to the wire arranging disc set 121; the to-be-arranged wire harness 100 output by the wire arranging disc set 121 bypasses the wire guide wheel set 122, arranges the wire harness distance between each of the to-be-arranged wire harnesses 100, bypasses the roller 131, and is output after being straightened by the counterweight 132 through the roller 131.

It can be understood that in the same wire arranging assembly 12, the wire guiding wheel groups 122 are distributed behind the wire arranging disc groups 121 (i.e., are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the wire harness 100 to be arranged); in the same wire arranging disc group 121, the wire arranging discs 1211 are spaced apart and distributed along the up-down direction; and the wire harness 100 to be arranged is wound on each of the wire arranging discs 1211. In this embodiment, the wire arranging assembly 12 has simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0046] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 each of the wire arranging disc groups 121 further comprises a wire disc driving member 1212 and a driving shaft 1213 which is rotatably installed on the rack 11, and the wire arranging disc 1211 is installed on the driving shaft 1213; the wire disc driving member 1212 is connected to the driving shaft 1213 and is used to drive the wire arranging disc 1211 to rotate through the driving shaft 1213.

[0047] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 along the conveying direction of the wire harness 100 to be arranged, the wire arranging assemblies 12 are spaced apart and installed on the rack 11; and in the wire arranging assembly 12, the number of the wire guiding wheels 1222 of the next station is equal to the sum of the number of the wire arranging discs 1211 of the current station and the number of the wire guiding wheels 1222 of the previous station. It can be understood that along the conveying direction of the wire harness 100 to be arranged, the number of the wire guiding wheels 1222 in the wire arranging assembly 12 of the next station is equal to the sum of the number of the wire arranging discs 1211 of the current station and the number of the wire arranging discs 1211 of all the previous stations; and in the first station, the number of the wire guiding wheels 1222 is equal to the number of the wire arranging discs 1211.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1As shown, the wire harness arrangement mechanism 1 includes a plurality of the wire arrangement assemblies 12, each of the wire arrangement assemblies 12 includes four wire arrangement discs 1211; in the first wire arrangement station, the wire guide wheel set 122 includes four wire guide wheels 1222; in the second wire arrangement station, the wire guide wheel set 122 includes eight wire guide wheels 1222; in the third wire arrangement station, the wire guide wheel set 122 includes twelve wire guide wheels 1222; thereby the wire harness arrangement mechanism 1 includes twelve counterweight assemblies 13.

[0049] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 along the conveying direction of the wire harnesses 100 to be arranged, the distance between two adjacent wire guide wheels 1222 in a previous station is greater than the distance between two adjacent wire guide wheels 1222 in a subsequent station.

In this embodiment, the wire harness arrangement mechanism 1 gradually reduces the distance between two adjacent wire harnesses 100 to be arranged (i.e., gradually reduces the wire harness distance between two adjacent wire harnesses 100 to be arranged) through the wire arrangement work, and finally adjusts the wire harness distance between a plurality of wire harnesses 100 to be arranged to a very small range, thereby improving the stability of the wire harness arrangement mechanism 1.
