Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive wiring harness production, and more particularly to a processing equipment for automotive wiring harness production. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are components made of copper stamped contact terminals that are crimped to wires and cables, and then covered with plastic insulation or an outer metal shell. The wires are bundled together to form a circuit connection. The wires inside automotive wiring harnesses are also called low-voltage wires, which are different from ordinary household wires. Ordinary household wires are single-core copper wires with a certain degree of rigidity; while automotive wires are multi-core copper wires, some of which are as thin as hair. Several or even dozens of soft copper wires are wrapped in plastic insulating tubes, making them flexible and not easily broken.

[0003] When manufacturing automotive wiring harnesses, multiple wires need to be manually tied together at both ends with cable ties to secure them. However, tying them together at both ends leaves the middle of the harness loose, making it inconvenient for workers to install insulation tubes later. Furthermore, the cable ties do not provide a strong enough hold for the harness to break. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a processing equipment for automotive wiring harness production, which can bond multiple cables together in a spiral shape to increase the stability of the wiring harness.

[0005] A processing device for automotive wiring harness production includes a base, a rotating part rotatably connected to the base, a plurality of glue storage boxes fixedly connected to the rotating part, a first spring fixedly connected inside each glue storage box, a contact ball provided inside each glue storage box, the plurality of first springs respectively contacting the plurality of contact balls, a limit roller rotatably connected to each glue storage box, a forming cylinder fixedly connected to the base, and two forming covers provided inside the forming cylinder, each of the two forming covers having interlocking slots.

[0006] Each of the two molding covers is fixedly connected to a sliding rod, and both sliding rods are slidably connected to the molding cylinder. A second spring is fixedly connected between each sliding rod and the molding cylinder.

[0007] Two transmission rods are rotatably connected to the base, and cams are fixedly connected to each of the two transmission rods. The two cams are in contact with the two slide rods respectively.

[0008] An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the molded cover.

[0009] Each of the aforementioned glue storage boxes is rotatably connected to a wire roller. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] See Figure 1-5 Figures 9-10 show schematic diagrams of embodiments according to the present invention that enable multiple cables to be helically bonded together, increasing the stability of the cable harness. Further,

[0021] This equipment includes a base 401, on which a rotating part 406 is rotatably connected via bearings. Multiple glue storage boxes 101 are fixedly connected to the rotating part 406 via bolts. Each glue storage box 101 has a first spring 102 welded and fixedly connected inside. Each glue storage box 101 is provided with a contact ball 103. Each first spring 102 is in contact with a contact ball 103. Each glue storage box 101 is rotatably connected with a limit roller 104 via bearings. A forming cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the base 401 via bolts. Two forming covers 303 are provided inside the forming cylinder 301. Both forming covers 303 have interlocking slots.

[0022] First, the workers pass multiple cables through multiple limiting rollers 104 and multiple contact balls 103 respectively. Then, they pass multiple cables through the forming cover 303 so that multiple cables are all between two forming covers 303. Finally, the existing cable conveying equipment is set on the right side of the forming cover 303.

[0023] The glue storage box 101 is used to store liquid glue. When the cable passes between the limiting roller 104 and the contact ball 103, the contact ball 103 is pressured and moves into the glue storage box 101. At the same time, the first spring 102 is compressed, and when the cable is fed to the right, it generates friction with the contact ball 103, so that the contact ball 103 rolls in the glue storage box 101. As a result, the glue on the contact ball 103 can be applied to the inside of the cable, thus realizing the glue application function. At the same time, the rotating part 406 is controlled to rotate, and the rotating part 406 drives multiple glue storage boxes 101 to rotate, so that when the contact ball 103 is subjected to force, the glue can flow out from the opening of the glue storage box 101, thereby increasing the amount of glue applied.

[0024] The forming cylinder 301 serves to limit the movement of multiple cables, allowing them to converge towards its center during transport, facilitating cable bonding. While the rotating part 406 rotates, the operator controls two forming covers 303 to continuously open and close. Since both covers 303 have intersecting slots, they cross each other during engagement, compressing the cables. This compression causes the cables to contact each other, and the adhesive on their inner surfaces helps bond them together. The rotation of the rotating part 406 also drives the cables to rotate. Because one end of each cable is bonded, rotation causes them to spiral together, forming a helical cable bundle. This increases the bundle's stability, preventing breakage. The transmission speed can be adjusted to change the cable pitch, allowing for the production of cable bundles of varying lengths. Finally, the bundle is transported using existing cable conveying equipment.

[0025] See Figure 9-10 The diagram shows an embodiment of the invention that enables the compression of multiple cables. Further,

[0026] Two sliding rods 304 are fixedly connected to the two forming covers 303 by bolts. The two sliding rods 304 are slidably connected to the forming cylinder 301. The forming cylinder 301 has a hole for the sliding of the two sliding rods 304. A second spring 305 is welded and fixedly connected between the two sliding rods 304 and the forming cylinder 301.

[0027] Workers control two sliding rods 304 to slide into the forming cylinder 301, which in turn drives two forming covers 303 to move towards the center, thereby achieving the purpose of squeezing multiple cables.

[0028] Two second springs 305 give the two slide bars 304 resilience, which facilitates the automatic reset of the two molding covers 303.

[0029] See Figure 9The diagram shows an embodiment of the invention that enables the continuous sliding of two sliders 304. Further,

[0030] Two transmission rods 502 are rotatably connected to the base 401 via bearings. Each transmission rod 502 is fixedly connected to a cam 501 via a key. The two cams 501 are in contact with the two slide rods 304 respectively.

[0031] By controlling the rotation of the two transmission rods 502, the operator can drive the two cams 501 to rotate respectively. When the two cams 501 rotate, they contact the ends of the two slide rods 304 respectively, thereby realizing the function of continuous sliding of the two slide rods 304.

[0032] See Figure 9 The diagram illustrates a method for accelerating the drying of adhesive on multiple cables according to the present invention. Further,

[0033] An air inlet pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the molded cover 303 by bolts.

[0034] The air inlet pipe 302 is connected to the inside of the molding cover 303. The staff connects the molding cover 303 to the existing fan through the air inlet pipe 302, and blows air into the molding cover 303 through the fan, which can speed up the drying of the glue on multiple cables and speed up the shaping of multiple cables.

[0035] See Figure 3-4 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which can rotate synchronously with the rotating part 406, is shown. Further,

[0036] Each glue storage box 101 is rotatably connected to a wire roller 201 via a bearing.

[0037] The wire roller 201 is used to wind the cable to be processed. The wire roller 201 provides the cable and can rotate synchronously with the rotating part 406, which facilitates the bonding of multiple cables.

[0038] See Figure 6 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the invention that allows the cable to remain taut. Further,

[0039] Multiple friction covers 202 are rotatably connected to the rotating part 406 via bearings, and each friction cover 202 contacts each wire roller 201.

[0040] By rotating the friction cover 202 to make it contact the wire roller 201, the friction cover 202 is used to increase the rotational resistance of the wire roller 201. When the rotational resistance of the wire roller 201 is increased, it can straighten multiple cables, so that the cables are always in a taut state, avoiding the phenomenon of cables becoming loose and difficult to entangle during transmission.

[0041] See Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention that ensures the friction shield 202 is in close contact with the online roller 201 is shown. Further,

[0042] Each friction cover 202 is welded and fixedly connected to the roller 201 with a torsion spring 203. The friction cover 202 is made of rubber.

[0043] The torsion spring 203 can cause the friction cover 202 to rotate to the right, thereby ensuring that the friction cover 202 can be tightly attached to the roller 201 and increasing the rotational resistance of the roller 201.

[0044] See Figure 7 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which enables synchronous control of the rotating part 406 and the two molding covers 303, is shown. Further,

[0045] A gear ring 404 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 406 by bolts, and a transmission wheel 405 is fixedly connected to each of the two transmission rods 502 by keys. Both transmission wheels 405 mesh with the gear ring 404 for transmission.

[0046] The staff controls the rotation of the gear ring 404, which in turn drives the two transmission wheels 405 to rotate. The two transmission wheels 405 drive the two transmission rods 502 to rotate, thereby achieving the function of synchronous control of the rotating part 406 and the two forming covers 303, and avoiding the phenomenon of the cable cracking due to lack of compression.

[0047] See Figure 7 This illustrates an embodiment of the invention capable of driving the gear ring 404 to rotate, and further,

[0048] A drive wheel 403 is rotatably connected to the base 401 via a bearing, and the drive wheel 403 meshes with the gear ring 404 for transmission.

[0049] The staff can control the rotation of the drive wheel 403 to drive the gear ring 404 to rotate.

[0050] See Figure 8 This illustrates an embodiment of the invention capable of driving the drive wheel 403 to rotate, and further,

[0051] A drive motor 402 is fixedly connected to the base 401 by bolts, and a drive wheel 403 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 402 by a coupling.

[0052] Start the drive motor 402, which drives the drive wheel 403 to rotate, providing driving force for the rotation of the drive wheel 403.
