[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automated production equipment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] A method for assembling wires includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. Feeding; S2. Cutting wire; S3. UV marking; S4. Installing sleeve; S5. Installing number tube; S6. Preheating and positioning; S7. Baking and heat shrinking; S8. Installing waterproof plug; S9. Terminal crimping; S10. Processing completed and material collected.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, an automated production equipment for implementing the above-described wire assembly method includes a conveyor belt 10. On one side of the conveyor belt 10, a feeding device 1, a wire cutting device 2, a UV marking device 3, a sleeve installation device 4, a number tube positioning device 5, a preheating positioning device 14, a baking and heat shrinking device 6, a waterproof plug insertion device 7, a stripping device 8, a terminal crimping device 9, and a take-up module device 11 are sequentially arranged. On the other side of the conveyor belt 10, opposite the take-up module device 11 and the terminal crimping device 9, a receiving device 12 is arranged. The conveyor belt 10, the feeding device 1, the wire cutting device 2, the marking device 3, the sleeve installation device 4, the number tube positioning device 5, the baking and heat shrinking device 6, the waterproof plug insertion device 7, the stripping device 8, the terminal crimping device 9, and the take-up module device 11 are connected to a central control computer 13.

[0017] This invention uses a central control computer 13 to control the feeding device 1 to feed the wire, and a wire cutting device 2 to cut the wire to the specified length. Then, the wire is conveyed via a conveyor belt 10 to the ultraviolet marking device 3, where laser-marked number tubes are inserted into both ends of the wire. The automatic insertion and heat shrinking of the number tubes is achieved through the ultraviolet marking device 3, the sleeve installation device 4, the number tube positioning device 5, the preheating positioning device 14, and the baking heat shrinking device 6. Finally, the wire is conveyed via the conveyor belt 10 to the waterproof plug. After completing the sealing plug process, the wire is fed into the stripping device 8 by the conveyor belt 10. The stripping device 8 strips the ends of the wire and then sends the stripped wire to the terminal crimping device 9 by the conveyor belt 10. The terminal crimping device 9 crimps the ends of the wire and automatically detects the crimping status through the crimping detection system. If any defects are found, an alarm is triggered in time. The crimped wire is then sent to the receiving device 12 by the module removal device 11 via the conveyor belt 10, realizing fully automated processing of the wire at each station.

[0018] This invention achieves the following three functional features:

[0019] (i) Computer control enables automation of the front-end production of conductors, replacing manual operation and greatly improving production efficiency;

[0020] (ii) Control the number management system by real-time coding of the number management system to prevent waste;

[0021] (iii) To automate the sealing plug process and improve production efficiency;

[0022] (iv) Real-time monitoring of wire crimping is conducted to prevent poor crimping and thus improve the quality of the wire harness.

[0023] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
