[0002] Wire harness clips are clips used to bundle multiple wires together, preventing them from scattering. They are widely used in industrial products, especially in automobiles. Wire harness clips are typically attached to objects using double-sided tape. Therefore, after production, wire harness clips are usually manually attached one by one to the double-sided tape, and then the tape is cut short to obtain individual clips with double-sided tape.

[0018] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description will be given below. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4A cutting machine includes a worktable 10, a cutting device 20, a first feeding device 30, a second feeding device 40, and a pushing mechanism 50. The cutting device 20 is disposed on the worktable 10 and is used to cut double-sided tape. The first feeding device 30 is disposed on the worktable 10 and is used to provide double-sided tape to the cutting device 20. The second feeding device 40 is used to provide and transport wire harness clips 1 to the worktable 10. The pushing mechanism 50 is disposed on the worktable 10 and is used to push the wire harness clips 1 into the working range of the cutting device 20. The trajectory of the pushing mechanism 50 pushing the wire harness clips 1 coincides with the trajectory of the double-sided tape on the worktable 10. Specifically, during operation, double-sided tape is supplied to the worktable 10 via the first feeding device 30, and wire harness clip 1 is supplied to the worktable 10 via the second feeding device 40. Then, the pushing mechanism 50 pushes the wire harness clip 1 to the front of the cutting device 20. Since the movement trajectory of the wire harness clip 1 coincides with the movement trajectory of the double-sided tape, the wire harness clip 1 adheres to the double-sided tape. This causes the pushing mechanism 50 to push the wire harness clip 1, which in turn moves the double-sided tape. When the wire harness clip 1 enters the effective range of the cutting device 20, the cutting device 20 is activated, and the cutting device 20 cuts the double-sided tape connecting the two wire harness clips 1, thereby obtaining a single wire harness clip 1 with double-sided tape. In summary, the cutting machine of the present invention abandons the traditional manual operation method and adopts an automated means to adhere the wire harness clip 1 to double-sided tape, and then cuts the double-sided tape connecting two wire harness clips 1, thereby obtaining a single wire harness clip 1 with double-sided tape, which greatly improves processing efficiency and yield, has high application value, and is well worth promoting and applying.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first feeding device 30 includes a first roller 31, a second roller 32, a third roller 33, and a fourth roller 34, all rotatably mounted on the worktable 10. The first roller 31, second roller 32, third roller 33, and fourth roller 34 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the worktable 10. Double-sided adhesive is wound around the first roller 31, and the double-sided adhesive passes sequentially through the first roller 31, second roller 32, third roller 33, fourth roller 34, and the worktable 10. During operation, after the wire harness clip 1 adheres to the double-sided adhesive on the worktable 10, the pushing mechanism 50 pushes the wire harness clip 1 towards the cutting device 20. The movement of the wire harness clip 1 causes the double-sided adhesive to move.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder 41 located beside the workbench 10 and a conveyor belt 42 located on the vibratory feeder 41. The vibratory feeder 41 provides wire harness clips 1 to the conveyor belt 42, and the conveyor belt 42 transports the wire harness clips 1 to the pushing mechanism 50. During operation, when the vibratory feeder 41 is started, it provides the wire harness clips 1 to the conveyor belt 42, which then transports the wire harness clips 1 to the pushing mechanism 50 on the workbench 10. The double-sided adhesive also passes through this location, so the wire harness clips 1 adhere to the double-sided adhesive at this location.

[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 50 includes an electric cylinder 51 mounted on the worktable 10 and a pushing block 52 mounted on the output shaft of the electric cylinder 51. Specifically, during operation, before the wire harness clip 1 is conveyed to the pushing mechanism 50 by the conveyor belt 42, specifically before it is conveyed to the pushing block 52, the electric cylinder 51 is activated, and the electric cylinder 51 pushes the pushing block 52, which in turn pushes the wire harness clip 1 into the effective range of the cutting device 20, and the pushing effect is good.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the workbench 10 is provided with a positioning mechanism 60 and a bending mechanism 70 located beside the positioning mechanism 60. The positioning mechanism 60 is used to position or release a wire harness clip 1, the bending mechanism 70 is used to bend the double-sided adhesive connecting the wire harness clip 1 to another adjacent wire harness clip 1, and the cutting device 20 is used to cut the bent part of the double-sided adhesive. Specifically, during operation, when the wire harness clip 1 is pushed into the working range of the cutting machine by the push block 52, the positioning mechanism 60 will position one wire harness clip 1, and at the same time, the other wire harness clip 1 adjacent to the first wire harness clip 1 will enter the working range of the bending mechanism 70. Then, the bending mechanism 70 will be activated, and the bending mechanism 70 will bend the double-sided adhesive connecting the two wire harness clips 1. Then, the cutting mechanism will be activated, and the cutting mechanism will cut the bent part of the double-sided adhesive. This arrangement makes it easier for the cutting device 20 to cut the double-sided adhesive, resulting in a better cutting effect and greater precision.

[0025] Further, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 60 includes a first telescopic member 61 disposed on the worktable 10 and a first pressing part 62 disposed on the first telescopic member 61; the first telescopic member 61 and the first pressing part 62 are drivenly connected to drive the first pressing part 62 to move. Specifically, the first telescopic member 61 includes a first cylinder disposed on the worktable 10, and the first pressing part 62 includes a first horizontal plate disposed at the output end of the first cylinder and a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate respectively disposed at both ends of the horizontal plate. The first vertical plate and the second vertical plate are both used to abut against the wire harness clip 1. During operation, when the first cylinder is activated, the first cylinder will drive the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate to move until the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate abut against the wire harness clip 1, thus positioning the wire harness clip 1 with good positioning effect and accurate positioning. When the first cylinder retracts, the wire harness clip 1 can be released.

[0026] Further, in this embodiment, the bending mechanism 70 includes a discharge track 71 inclined to the worktable 10, a second telescopic member 72 disposed on the worktable 10, and a second pressing part 73 disposed on the second telescopic member 72. The second telescopic member 72 and the second pressing part 73 are drivenly connected to drive the second pressing part 73 to move, and the second pressing part 73 acts on the discharge track 71. Specifically, the first telescopic member 61 includes a second cylinder disposed on the worktable 10, the second cylinder being located below the discharge track 71. The second pressing part 73 includes a second horizontal plate including an output shaft disposed on the second cylinder, and a third vertical plate and a fourth vertical plate disposed at both ends of the second horizontal plate. The end of the third vertical plate away from the second cylinder is provided with a first pressing block for abutting against the wire harness clip 1, and the end of the fourth vertical plate away from the second cylinder is provided with a second pressing block for abutting against the wire harness clip 1. During operation, when one wire harness clip 1 reaches the positioning mechanism 60 and another adjacent wire harness clip 1 reaches the discharge track 71, the second cylinder is activated. The second cylinder will drive the third and fourth vertical plates to retract, causing the first and second pressure blocks to abut against the wire harness clip 1, thereby moving the wire harness clip 1. Then the double-sided adhesive connecting the two wire harness clips 1 will be bent, which has the advantages of simple operation and good bending effect.

[0027] Further, in this embodiment, the cutting device 20 includes a mounting part disposed above the workbench 10, a cutter 22 rotatably disposed on the mounting part, and a rotating mechanism disposed on the mounting part, the rotating mechanism being used to drive the cutter 22 to rotate. Specifically, the mounting part includes a mounting plate 21a disposed on the workbench 10 and a bearing 21b disposed on the mounting plate. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 23 disposed on the inner ring of the bearing 21b, a reducer 24 and a first motor 25 both disposed on the mounting plate 21a. One end of the rotating shaft 23 is connected to the cutter 22, and the first motor 25 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the reducer 24. During operation, when it is necessary to cut the bend of the double-sided tape, the first motor 25 is started, and the motor will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the reducer 24. The rotation of the rotating shaft 23 will drive the cutter 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the cutter 22 will cut the bend of the double-sided tape, and has the advantage of good cutting effect.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a detection mechanism is provided on the workbench 10. The detection mechanism is used to detect whether the cutting range of the cutting device 20 exceeds a preset specific range. Specifically, the detection mechanism includes an industrial camera located on the workbench 10. The industrial camera acts on the double-sided tape to detect whether the cutting range of the blade 22 of the cutting device 20 exceeds a preset specific range.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cutting machine also includes a mounting frame 80 located beside the workbench 10 and a sorting and discharging mechanism 90 located on the mounting frame 80. The sorting and discharging mechanism 90 is used to sort and discharge good and defective products. Specifically, when the industrial camera detects that the cutting range of the blade 22 conforms to a preset specific range, the corresponding wire harness clip 1 is identified as a good product, and the sorting and discharging mechanism 90 discharges the good product; when the industrial camera detects that the cutting range of the blade 22 exceeds the preset specific range, the corresponding wire harness clip 1 is identified as a defective product, and the sorting and discharging mechanism 90 separates the defective product from the good product. This configuration can separate and discharge good and defective products, preventing good and defective products from being mixed, thereby affecting the use of the product.

[0030] Further, in this embodiment, the sorting and discharging mechanism 90 includes a sorting bin 91 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 80, a drive mechanism mounted on the mounting frame 80, and a good product discharging bin 92 and a defective product discharging bin 9392 both mounted on the mounting frame 80. The first end of the sorting bin 91 is used to receive the wire harness clips 1 processed by the cutting device 20. The drive mechanism is used to drive the sorting bin 91 to rotate. The first end of the sorting bin 91 is connected to the good product discharging bin 92 or the defective product discharging bin 9392. Specifically, the mounting frame 80 is provided with a connecting bin 94. The first end of the connecting bin 94 is connected to the discharging track 71, and the second end of the connecting bin 94 is connected to the second end of the sorting bin 91. Specifically, during operation, when the cutting tool 22 of the cutting device 20 cuts the double-sided tape, if the industrial camera detects that the cut wire harness clip 1 is a good product, the wire harness clip 1 will slide from the discharge track 71 into the connecting chamber 94, then slide from the connecting chamber 94 into the sorting chamber 91, then slide from the sorting chamber 91 into the good product discharge chamber 92, and finally be discharged from the good product discharge chamber 92. When the industrial camera detects that the cut wire harness clip 1 is a defective product, the drive mechanism will drive the sorting chamber 91 to rotate, so that the sorting chamber 91 is connected to the defective product discharge chamber 9392, thereby allowing the wire harness clip 1 to be discharged from the defective product discharge chamber 9392.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a third telescopic member 95 disposed on the mounting frame 80. The third telescopic member 95 is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame 80, and its output end is hinged to the sorting bin 91. Specifically, the third telescopic member includes a third cylinder rotatably disposed on the mounting frame 80, and its output end is hinged to the sorting bin 91. During operation, when it is necessary to drive the sorting bin 91 to rotate, the third cylinder is activated, and the extension and retraction of the third cylinder will drive the sorting bin 91 to rotate, with good rotational effect.

[0032] Further, in this embodiment, the cutting machine includes a loading mechanism 100, which includes a mounting platform 101 located beside the workbench 10, a defective product loading cylinder 104102 located beside the workbench 10, a turntable 103 rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 101, a rotation drive assembly located on the mounting platform 101, and a plurality of good product loading cylinders 104 located on the turntable 103. The rotation drive assembly is used to drive the turntable 103 to rotate. Specifically, the defective product loading cylinder 104102 is located below the defective product discharge bin 9392. The rotation drive assembly includes a second motor 105 located on the mounting platform 101, which is used to drive the turntable 103 to rotate. Further, a photoelectric sensor is provided on the mounting platform 101, which acts on the good product loading cylinder 104 to detect whether the good product loading cylinder 104 is filled with material. During operation, the photoelectric sensor first detects a good product loading cylinder 104. If the good product loading cylinder 104 is found to be empty, i.e., in an idle state, the second motor 105 drives the turntable 103 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 103 moves the good product loading cylinder 104 below the good product discharge bin 92. When the wire harness clip 1 is discharged from the good product discharge bin 92, it falls into the good product loading cylinder 104, thus completing the good product discharge. After the good product loading cylinder 104 has been in place for a specific time, i.e., when the good product loading cylinder 104 has been filled with a specific amount of wire harness clip 1, the second motor 105 will restart. When the second motor 105 rotates, it drives the turntable 103 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 103 moves the good product loading cylinder 104, causing another good product loading cylinder 104, which is detected as empty by the photoelectric sensor, to move below the good product discharge bin 92 to continue loading good products. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the good product loading cylinder 104 is equipped with a wire harness clip 1, it proves that all the good product loading cylinders 104 on the turntable 103 are equipped with wire harness clips 1. At this time, the second motor 105 will not rotate, and the entire cutting machine will stop working, allowing the worker to remove the good products from the good product loading cylinder 104. When the wire harness clip 1 is discharged from the defective product discharge bin 9392, it will fall into the defective product loading cylinder 104102, thus finally completing the defective product discharge.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
