Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art belonging to the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0059] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a wire arrangement and film pasting device, and the device includes:

[0060] Feeding unit, which is used to convey the tray carrying the product to the loading station,

[0061] Product transfer and carrying unit, which is arranged on one side of the feeding unit. The product transfer and carrying unit includes a manipulator 140 and a turntable mechanism 150.

[0062] Film supply and laminating unit, which is arranged on one side of the product transfer and carrying unit.

[0063] Unloading unit, which is arranged on one side of the product transfer and carrying unit.

[0064] When the above device of the present application is in use, the feeding unit can supply products, that is, wire harnesses, to the product transfer and carrying unit first. The manipulator 140 can transfer the wire harness to the turntable mechanism 150, and corresponding tooling fixtures for positioning the product can be arranged on the turntable mechanism 150. The film supply and laminating unit can provide the required film for the product on the turntable mechanism 150 and attach the film to the product. The manipulator 140 can transfer the product with the film attached to the unloading unit, and the unloading unit can perform the unloading operation on the product with the film attached.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown in the figure, the feeding unit includes a first belt conveyor line 110, a tray handling mechanism 120, and a feeding mechanism 130. On one side of the first belt conveyor line 110, a material separating cylinder assembly 113, a positioning cylinder assembly 112, and a blocking cylinder assembly 111 are arranged at intervals. After the tray is conveyed by the first belt conveyor line 110, it is first blocked by the blocking cylinder assembly 111, and then the positioning cylinder assembly 112 positions the tray. At the same time, the material separating cylinder assembly 113 blocks the subsequent trays. Specifically, the positioning cylinder assembly 112 can be composed of corresponding plug boards and cylinders. Corresponding slots can be provided on the tray. The tray is positioned by inserting the plug board into the slot. The tray handling mechanism 120 is arranged between the first belt conveyor line 110 and the feeding mechanism 130. The tray handling mechanism 120 includes a two-dimensional moving module and a vacuum chuck assembly 121 connected to the two-dimensional moving module. The feeding mechanism 130 includes a linear transfer module 131. A base is arranged on the linear transfer module 131. Two support platforms 132 are arranged at intervals on the base. A lifting cylinder assembly 133 is also arranged on the base between the two support platforms 132. A lifting block is arranged at the top of the lifting cylinder assembly 133. Two horizontally moving positioning plug boards 134 are also arranged on the base. Each positioning plug board 134 is connected to a plug board driving cylinder. The tray on the first belt conveyor line 110 can be adsorbed by the vacuum chuck assembly 121, and the tray is transferred to the two support platforms 132 on the feeding mechanism 130 through the two-dimensional moving module. Then, the tray is positioned through the cooperation of the lifting cylinder assembly 133 and the positioning plug boards 134. Then, the tray is sent to the loading station through the linear transfer module 131. When the tray is empty, the tray can be removed. Finally, the tray can be taken away by manual or other mechanisms.

[0066] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a first suction nozzle 141 and a second suction nozzle 142 are arranged on the manipulator 140. A number of vacuum adsorption type fixtures 152 for positioning products are arranged on the turntable mechanism 150. A code scanning mechanism 160, a first type of film hot pressing mechanism 170, and a second type of film hot pressing mechanism are also arranged on one side of the turntable mechanism 150.

[0067] After the flexible cable on the tray of the feeding mechanism 130 is adsorbed by the first suction nozzle 141 of the manipulator 140, it can be transferred to the vacuum adsorption fixture 152 on the turntable mechanism 150, and the flexible cable is adsorbed and positioned by the vacuum adsorption fixture 152. If there is a flexible cable with the film pasted on the vacuum adsorption fixture 152, the manipulator 140 first adsorbs the flexible cable through the second suction nozzle 142, so that there is no flexible cable on the vacuum adsorption fixture 152. Then, the flexible cable adsorbed by the first suction nozzle 141 is placed on the vacuum adsorption fixture 152. And the manipulator 140 transfers the flexible cable with the film pasted to the blanking unit. For the flexible cable on the vacuum adsorption fixture 152 of the turntable mechanism 150, the film can be pasted in the following way. The turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this time, the first type of film can be pasted on the flexible cable. Then the turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this time, the product code at the end of the flexible cable is scanned by the code scanning mechanism 160. Then, the turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this time, the first type of film is hot-pressed by the first type of film hot-pressing mechanism 170 to make the first type of film firmly attached to the flexible cable. Then, the turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this time, the second type of film is pasted on the flexible cable. Then, the turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this time, the second type of film on the product is hot-pressed by the second type of film hot-pressing mechanism to make the second type of film firmly attached to the flexible cable. Then, the turntable mechanism 150 rotates, and the flexible cable reaches the next station. At this station, the manipulator 140 can take out the flexible cable with the film pasted and put in a new flexible cable.

[0068] Furthermore, a visual photographing and guiding component 143 can also be set at the manipulator, and a visual photographing and inspecting component 144 is set on one side of the manipulator. The visual photographing and guiding component is used to guide the manipulator to perform actions. The visual photographing and inspecting component is used to photograph and inspect the flexible cable adsorbed on the manipulator. If it meets the requirements, the flexible cable is transferred to the next station. If it does not meet the requirements, the flexible cable is transferred to the waste recycling mechanism.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, the first type of film hot pressing mechanism 170 includes a first vertical conveying cylinder. A first frame is connected to the first vertical conveying cylinder. A first guide rail assembly 179 is provided on the first frame. A first counterweight assembly 171 is provided on the first guide rail assembly 179. The first counterweight assembly 171 includes a counterweight frame connected to the first guide rail assembly 179. The counterweight frame can move up and down along the first guide rail assembly 179. A positioning rod is provided on the counterweight frame, and a number of counterweight blocks are inserted on the positioning rod. A counterweight limit block 173a is provided below the first counterweight assembly 171. A first pressure sensor 172 is connected below the first counterweight assembly 171. The first pressure sensor 172 can be connected to the counterweight frame. A first support 175 is provided below the first pressure sensor 172. The first support 175 is installed on the first guide rail assembly 179. The first support 175 can move up and down along the first guide rail assembly 179. A first elastic component 174 for applying pressure to the first pressure sensor 172 is provided above the first support 175. The first elastic component 174 can include two support columns and a force application block sleeved on the two support columns. A spring sleeved on the support column is provided below the force application block. A first heat insulation block is provided below the first support 175.

A second heating rod and a second temperature sensor are provided on the second pressing head. A support limit block 173b is also provided below the second support.

[0070] The structures of the above-mentioned first type of film hot pressing mechanism 170 and the second type of film hot pressing mechanism are basically the same. They are only used for attaching different types of films. For example, one is used for attaching large films and the other is used for attaching small films.

[0071] When the first type of film hot-pressing mechanism 170 described above works, the first heating rod 177 is used to heat the first pressing head 176. After the first pressing head 176 applies pressure to the flexible cable, it can prompt the first elastic component 174 to apply pressure to the first pressure sensor 172, and then obtain the pressure value through the first pressure sensor 172 to ensure that the pressure applied to the flexible cable meets the requirements. When it is not necessary to hot-press the flexible cable, the counterweight limit block 173a is used to support and limit the first counterweight component 171, and the bracket limit block 173b is used to support and limit the first bracket 175.

When installing the vacuum adsorption type fixture 152 on the turntable, a plurality of pin holes are pre-set on the vacuum adsorption type fixture 152. When installing the vacuum adsorption type fixture 152 on the turntable, each pin 153 should sequentially pass through the pin holes of the vacuum adsorption type fixture 152, the pin holes on the turntable, and the corresponding pin holes on the calibration block 154, and then fix the vacuum adsorption type fixture 152 on the turntable.

[0073] In one embodiment, the film supply and laminating unit includes a first type of film supply mechanism 180, a second type of film supply mechanism 210, a first type of film laminating mechanism 190, and a second type of film laminating mechanism 220.

[0074] The first type of film supply mechanism 180 is used to supply the first type of film, and the first type of film laminating mechanism 190 is used to attach the first type of film to the corresponding position of the flexible cable. Similarly, the second type of film supply mechanism 210 is used to supply the second type of film, and the second type of film laminating mechanism 220 is used to attach the second type of film to the corresponding position of the flexible cable.

[0075] Specifically, as Figures 10 to 12As shown, the first type of film supply mechanism 180 includes a first bin, on which a first disk-splitting mechanism is provided. On one side of the first bin, a first support plate 182 is provided. On one side of the top surface of the first support plate 182, there are strip-shaped blocks.

A material tray positioning component is provided at the material-taking station. A material-receiving station is provided on the downstream side of the material-taking station. A material-receiving lifting mechanism 185 is provided at the material-receiving station. On one side of the bottom surface of the first support plate 182, there is an extension bracket, on which a push block 186 lifting cylinder and a push block 186 connected to the push block 186 lifting cylinder are provided. The push block 186 is used to push the material tray at the material-taking station to the material-receiving lifting mechanism 185 at the material-receiving station. An empty material tray conveying mechanism 187 is also provided below the first transverse movement mechanism 183. The material-receiving lifting mechanism 185 is provided at one end of the empty material tray conveying mechanism 187. The second type of film supply mechanism 210 includes a second bin, on which a second disk-splitting mechanism is provided. On one side of the second bin, a second support plate is provided.

[0076] The above-mentioned first type of film supply mechanism 180 and the second type of film supply mechanism 210 are basically the same. When the first type of film supply mechanism 180 is in use, a material tray is split and transferred to the first support plate 182 through the first disk-splitting mechanism. During the above process, the push block 186 provided in front of the first support plate 182 rises. Then, the material tray is conveyed to the material-taking station through the first support plate and the first transverse movement mechanism 183. During this process, the original empty material tray at the material-taking station can be pushed by the push block 186 to the material-receiving station. The empty material tray can be received by the material-receiving lifting mechanism 185 at the material-receiving station and sent downward to the empty material tray conveying mechanism 187. Then, the empty material tray can be sent out by the empty material tray conveying mechanism 187.

[0077] It should be noted that the tray carrying the film at the material taking station can be positioned by the tray positioning assembly. Then, the pushing block 186 descends, and the first support plate 182 resets and prepares to convey the next tray with film. When the film on the tray at the material taking station is taken out, the tray positioning assembly releases the tray, so that it can be pushed to the material taking station by the pushing block 186. The above-mentioned tray positioning assembly may include support platforms 184a on both sides. Slots for inserting the tray are provided on the support platforms 184a. The support platforms 184a are also provided with positioning plates 184b that can be inserted into the slots. The positioning plates 184b are driven by cylinders and can be inserted into the grooves on the tray, thereby positioning the tray.

[0078] Specifically, there are various implementation manners of the above-mentioned first tray separating mechanism. For example, the first tray separating mechanism includes an upward pushing assembly 181b and a horizontal inserting assembly 181a. The upward pushing assembly 181b includes an upward pushing block and a lifting cylinder connected to the upward pushing block. The horizontal inserting assembly 181a includes a material separating plate, a lifting cylinder connected to the material separating plate, and a horizontal moving cylinder connected to the lifting cylinder. The trays in the magazine are supported by the material separating plate. When material separation is required, the material separating plate is lowered, and the upward pushing block is raised to support the upper trays. Then, the material separating plate is retracted. At this time, each tray is supported by the upward pushing block. Then, the upward pushing block descends. Then, the material separating plate extends again, and the material separating plate supports the trays above the lowermost tray. Then, the material separating plate is raised. In this way, the lowermost tray is separated, and this tray is supported by the first support plate 182.

[0079] Specifically, the first type of film laminating mechanism 190 includes a first three-dimensional moving module 191. The first three-dimensional moving module 191 includes a first X-axis moving module, a first Y-axis moving module, and a first Z-axis moving module. A first rotating module is provided on the first Z-axis moving module. A first type of film vacuum suction head 192 is provided on the first rotating module. The second type of film laminating mechanism 220 includes a second three-dimensional moving module. The second three-dimensional moving module includes a second X-axis moving module, a second Y-axis moving module, and a second Z-axis moving module. A second rotating module is provided on the second Z-axis moving module. A second type of film vacuum suction head is provided on the second rotating module.

[0080] The structures of the above-mentioned first type of film laminating mechanism 190 and the second type of film laminating mechanism 220 are basically the same. During specific use, the film can be adsorbed by the vacuum suction head, and the film can be attached to the wiring by the cooperation of the three-dimensional moving module and the rotating module.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figure 13As shown, the first type of film laminating mechanism 190 further includes a first upper vision camera assembly 193, a first lower vision camera assembly 194, and a first waste film recycling assembly 195. The second type of film laminating mechanism 220 further includes a second upper vision camera assembly, a second lower vision camera assembly, and a second waste film recycling assembly.

[0082] Specifically, the first upper vision camera assembly 193 is disposed on one side of the first type of film vacuum suction head 192, and the first lower vision camera assembly 194 can be disposed outside the first three-dimensional movement module 191. The second upper vision camera assembly and the second lower vision camera assembly are arranged in a similar manner.

[0083] Specifically, after the first type of film is adsorbed, it first moves to the position of the first lower vision camera assembly 194. After taking a photo, it is confirmed whether the first type of film is qualified. If it is qualified, the first type of film is moved to the wire arrangement position on the turntable, and the wire arrangement position is photographed by the first upper vision camera assembly 193 to compensate for the displacement, and then the first type of film is attached to the wire. If the first type of film is confirmed to be unqualified after being photographed, the film is transferred to the first waste film recycling assembly 195.

[0084] In one embodiment, the blanking unit includes a synchronous belt conveying mechanism 230 and a discharging photoelectric sensor installed at the end of the synchronous belt conveying mechanism 230, and the discharging photoelectric sensor is connected to the voice notification component.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application also provides a wire arrangement film laminating method. The method includes a feeding unit, a product transfer and carrying unit, a film feeding and laminating unit, and a blanking unit. The product transfer and carrying unit includes a manipulator 140 and a turntable mechanism 150. A plurality of vacuum adsorption fixtures 152 are provided on the turntable mechanism 150. A code scanning mechanism 160, a first type of film hot pressing mechanism 170, and a second type of film hot pressing mechanism are also provided on one side of the turntable mechanism 150. The tray carrying the product is conveyed to the loading station through the feeding unit, and the product on the tray at the loading station is transferred to the vacuum adsorption fixture 152 on the turntable mechanism 150 through the manipulator 140. Then, the first type of film is attached to the first position of the product on the turntable mechanism 150 through the film feeding and laminating unit. Then, the product is scanned through the code scanning mechanism 160. Then, the product is hot pressed through the first type of film hot pressing mechanism 170. Then, the second type of film is attached to the second position of the product on the turntable mechanism 150 through the film feeding and laminating unit. Then, the product is hot pressed through the second type of film hot pressing mechanism. Then, the product is taken off by the manipulator 140 and transferred to the tray on the blanking unit.
