The cut wires are then placed one by one into a fixture, each end of which is fixed and straightened. The straightened wires are then placed into the sockets as required, and the socket cover is installed. Finally, the male and female plugs are installed on both ends of the socket cover, and the subsequent withstand voltage test is performed.

[0058] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0059] This embodiment provides an automatic assembly device for cable trays, wherein the structure of the assembled cable tray X is shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, the assembled structure of the lower cover f, the fixing seat b, and the wire cover h is shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the automatic assembly equipment for cable trays in this embodiment includes a wire feeding and straightening module 1, a wire stripping and fixing seat installation module 2, an aluminum base feeding and rigid connection installation module 3, a wire assembly installation and riveting module 4, and a male and female plug installation station for installing male plugs G and female plugs M at both ends of the riveted aluminum base, respectively. This male and female plug installation station can be used for manual installation of the male and female plugs or for automatic installation by an automated mechanism, as needed. Wherein:
[0060] The wire feeding and straightening module 1 is responsible for feeding the original wire a to be assembled onto the cable tray X and straightening the original wire a; that is, straightening the originally bent wire into a straight wire; wherein the wire includes the conductor and the sheath wrapped around the outside of the conductor.
[0061] The wire stripping and fixing unit installation module 2 is the next station after the wire feeding and straightening module 1. The wire stripping and fixing unit installation module 2 strips a section of the wire sheath from each of the wires that has been straightened by the previous station (i.e. the wire feeding and straightening module 1) and installs the fixing unit b on the wire after the wire sheath has been stripped.
[0062] The aluminum base loading and rigid connection installation module 3 is responsible for performing the loading and handling of the aluminum base c, installing the rigid connection component d on the aluminum base c, and tightening the screws e to enhance the installation strength of the rigid connection component d on the aluminum base c.
[0063] The wire assembly installation and riveting module 4 is responsible for pre-installing the wire a with the mounting base b into the cable tray X, and pressing the mounting base b into the aluminum base c with the rigid connection component d.
[0064] See Figure 4 As shown, the wire feeding and straightening module 1 in this embodiment includes multiple wire feeding reels 11, a first straightener 12, a second straightener 13, a first wire pulling module 14, and a cutting and circumferential cutting module 15. Wherein:
[0065] Each pay-off reel 11 has a raw wire a wound on it, and each raw wire a passes through a corresponding wire guide roller 11a. The pay-off reel 11 performs a pay-off operation on the raw wire a wound on it, and these wires are moved to the first straightener. The first straightener 12 includes multiple rollers 12a arranged in a front-to-back sequence. The wires pass through their respective multiple rollers 12a in sequence, so that the first straightener 12 uses these rollers 12a to straighten all the raw wires a that have been paid off by all the pay-off reels 11.
[0066] See Figure 5 As shown, the second straightener 13 has multiple parallel straightening rollers 13a arranged in a front-to-back sequence. The wires straightened by the first straightener 12 pass around the corresponding parallel straightening rollers 13a, thereby enabling the second straightener 13 to perform a parallel straightening process on all the wires a that have been straightened by the first straightener 12 and to perform a secondary straightening process on all the parallel wires a. It should be noted that the distance between two adjacent wires a is set according to actual needs during the parallel straightening process.
[0067] The first wire pulling module 14 is responsible for pulling and moving the wire a, which has been straightened by the second straightener 13, to the next work station;
[0068] See Figure 6 As shown, the cutting and circumferential cutting module 15 cuts and circumferentially cuts all the wires after they have been pulled and moved by the first wire pulling module 14. The cutting and circumferential cutting module 15 includes a servo motor 151, a bidirectional lead screw 152, a slide rail 153, and cutting and circumferential cutting blades 154. The cutting and circumferential cutting blades 154 are responsible for cutting and circumferentially cutting wire a. The cutting and circumferential cutting blades 154 first cut wire a to a set length. Then, the first wire pulling module 14 moves so that wire a protrudes a certain distance beyond the cutting and circumferential cutting blades 154. The cutting and circumferential cutting blades 154 then circumferentially cut the sheath at the cut end. After being straightened by the second straightener 13, all the wires a are sequentially inserted into the guide holes (not shown in the figure) on the cutting and circumferential cutting module 15. The first wire pulling module 14 then pulls and moves the wires that have passed through the guide holes. It should be noted that in this embodiment, circumferential cutting refers to cutting a section of the wire sheath in the middle, while straight cutting refers to vertically splitting the section of wire sheath that has been circumferentially cut off.
[0069] See Figure 7 As shown, the wire stripping and mounting module 2 in this embodiment includes a second wire pulling module 21, a ring cutting module 22, a straight cutting module 23, a base pre-pressing and conveying module 24, and a pressing end cap module 25. Wherein:
[0070] The second wire pulling module 21 is responsible for pulling and moving all the wires a after they have been cut by the cutting and circumferential cutting module 15. Specifically, the second wire pulling module 21 includes a wire pulling mechanism module 211, a lead screw module 212, a slide cylinder 213, and a wire clamping cylinder 214. The forward movement of the slide cylinder 213 causes the wire pulling mechanism module 211 and the wire clamping cylinder 214 to cooperate with each other to drive the wire to move while clamping the wire.
[0071] See Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the circumferential cutting module 22 is responsible for circumferentially cutting each wire after it has been pulled and moved by the second wire pulling module 21 to cut off a section of the wire sheath of each wire; thus, a section of conductor will be exposed on the wire after the wire sheath has been cut off; of course, both ends of the conductor still have wire sheaths; specifically, the circumferential cutting module 22 in this embodiment includes an upper circumferential cutting cylinder 221, a lower circumferential cutting cylinder 222, an upper circumferential cutting die 223, a lower circumferential cutting die 224, and a wire clamping cylinder 225 for fixing the end. 221 is responsible for driving the upper circumferential cutting die 223 to move down to cut the wire sheath from above, and the lower circumferential cutting cylinder 222 is responsible for driving the lower circumferential cutting die 224 to move up to cut the wire sheath from below; the fixed end clamping cylinder 225 is responsible for clamping the wire to be cut; after the upper circumferential cutting die 223 and the lower circumferential cutting die 224 cut the same wire sheath, the section of wire sheath wrapped around the outside of the conductor has been circumferentially cut; the circumferentially cut wire sheath is now movably fitted onto the outside of the conductor;
[0072] See Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the straight-cutting module 23 is responsible for removing the cut insulation from each wire. Specifically, the straight-cutting module 23 in this embodiment includes a wire-clamping cylinder 231 for clamping the wire, an upper electric cylinder module 233 driven by an upper servo motor 232, a lower electric cylinder module 235 driven by a lower servo motor 234, a straight-cutting upper die 236 for cutting the insulation along a straight line, a straight-cutting lower die 237 for cutting the insulation along a straight line, an insulation-removing cylinder 238 for stripping the insulation, and an insulation-vibrating cylinder 239 for vibrating the stripped insulation. The lower electric cylinder module 235 drives the straight-cutting lower die 237 to move upward toward the stripped insulation. The upper electric cylinder module 233 drives the straight cutting upper die 236 to move downwards to cut the wire insulation above the cut wire insulation; thus, the straight cutting die has cut the wire insulation; the wire insulation shaking cylinder 239 drives the wire guide fixture to press down, and the wire insulation retraction cylinder 238 drives the retraction fixture to press down, so that the wire insulation is separated from the wire; the lower electric cylinder module 235 and the upper electric cylinder module 233 are reset respectively; the wire insulation shaking cylinder 239 starts to shake, and the air blowing port (not shown in the figure) starts to blow air, blowing the separated wire insulation into the vacuum cleaner suction port (not shown in the figure); in this way, the wire insulation that has been circumferentially cut can be removed.
[0073] See Figure 10 As shown, the base pre-compression transport module 24 is responsible for performing wire pre-assembly processing on the wire after the wire insulation has been removed by the straight cutting module 23, and for performing transport actions on the lower cover f, the fixing seat b and the wire cover h required for the assembly of the cable tray. Specifically, the base pre-compression transport module 24 includes a lead screw module 241, a servo motor 242 for driving the lead screw module to move, a first gripper cylinder 243 for gripping the lower cover f at the lower cover positioning fixture 24a, a first rotary cylinder 244 for driving the first gripper cylinder 243 to rotate, a transport cylinder 245 for transporting the components at the transfer fixture 24b, a second gripper cylinder 246 for gripping the fixing seat b at the fixing seat positioning fixture 24c, and a second rotary cylinder 247 for driving the second gripper cylinder 246 to rotate.
[0074] See Figure 11 As shown, the end cap pressing module 25 is responsible for assembling the lower cover f, the fixing seat b, and the wire cover h after they have been transported and processed by the base pre-pressing and transporting module 24, thus completing the end cap pressing. Specifically, the end cap pressing module 25 includes an electric cylinder module 251, an upper cover clamping cylinder 252, a fixing end wire clamping cylinder 253, a base lower mold fixture 254, a wire cover positioning fixture 255, a wire cover transfer fixture 256, and a gripper cylinder 257. Among them, the wire cover h, which has been transported to the wire cover positioning fixture 255, is finally moved to the end cap pressing position; under the drive of the electric cylinder module 251, the wire cover h is pressed down and assembled with the lower cover, realizing the end cap pressing effect.

The rigid connection component loading mechanism 35 includes a conveyor line 351 carrying the rigid connection component, a limiting baffle 352, a positioning baffle 353, and a position sensor (not shown in the figure). The limiting baffle 352 is disposed on both sides of the conveyor line 351 to prevent the rigid connection component from deviating from its normal orientation during conveying. The position sensor is responsible for detecting whether the rigid connection component conveyed by the conveyor line has been delivered to the predetermined position.
[0080] See Figure 14 As shown, the rigid connection component transport mechanism 36 is responsible for performing transport actions on the rigid connection component d that has been fed by the rigid connection component loading mechanism 35; wherein, the rigid connection component transport mechanism 36 includes a clamping cylinder 361 for clamping the rigid connection component and a rodless cylinder 362 for driving the clamping cylinder 361 to move.

[0089] The following combination Figures 3-19 The assembly process of the automatic cable tray assembly equipment in this embodiment is described below:
[0090] Step 1: Each wire feeding and straightening module 11 of the wire feeding and straightening module performs a wire feeding action on the original wire a wound on itself, and these wires are straightened for the first time by the roller 12a of the first straightener 12. Then, all the wires straightened by the first straightening process 12 are straightened and folded by the folding straightening roller 13a of the second straightener 13.
[0091] After straightening and joining, all the wires are sequentially passed into the guide holes of the cutting and circumferential cutting module 15, and the cutting and circumferential cutting module 15 performs circumferential cutting and cutting on these wires passing through the guide holes; wherein, the first wire pulling module 14 pulls and moves the wires passing through the guide holes.
[0092] Step 2: The second wire pulling module 21 of the wire stripping and fixing base mounting module 2 pulls the wire that has been cut by the cutting and ring cutting module 15 to continue moving in the predetermined direction. The ring cutting module 22 then performs ring cutting on the wire pulled by the second wire pulling module 21 to cut off the wire sheath of each wire. Then the straight cutting module 23 directly cuts off the wire sheath, completing the stripping process for all wires.
[0093] The base pre-pressing and handling module 24 performs wire pre-assembly processing on the wire after the wire insulation has been removed by the straight cutting module 23, and performs handling actions for the lower cover f, fixing seat b, and wire cover h required for the cable tray assembly; then the end cover pressing module 25 is responsible for assembling the lower cover f, fixing seat b, and wire cover h after they have been handled by the base pre-pressing and handling module 24, completing the end cover pressing; the end cover pressing process is as follows:
[0094] First, send the lower cover f to the lower cover positioning fixture, send the fixing seat b to the fixing seat positioning fixture, and send the wire cover h to the wire cover positioning fixture;
[0095] Secondly, after the lower cover is fed into place, the position sensor determines whether the lower cover is in the correct direction: if the lower cover is in the correct direction, proceed to the next process; otherwise, adjust the lower cover to the correct direction before proceeding to the next process.
[0096] Then, the lower cover is transported to the transfer fixture, and then from the transfer position to the fixed seat position for assembly. The assembled lower cover is transported to the lower mold fixture of the base, and then the lower cover in the lower mold fixture of the base is moved to the assembly position. It is then transported to the wire cover transfer fixture by the rodless cylinder module, and then moved to the wire cover picking position by the rodless cylinder. The wire cover is moved to the pressing end cover position. The lower mold fixture of the base passes through the cylinder, and after the electric cylinder module presses down, the upper cover clamping cylinder is released. The electric cylinder module moves up a certain distance and presses down twice to complete the end cover pressing.
[0097] Step 3: The aluminum base loading and rigid connection installation module 3 performs the aluminum base c loading and handling action, installs the rigid connection component d on the aluminum base c, and tightens the screws e to enhance the installation strength of the rigid connection component d on the aluminum base c.
[0098] Step 4: The wire assembly installation and riveting module 4 pre-installs the wire a with the fixing seat b into the cable tray X, and presses the fixing seat b into the aluminum base c with the hard connection component d installed.
[0099] Step 5: At the male and female plug installation station, install the male and female plugs respectively on both ends of the riveted aluminum base.
[0100] If necessary, the wiring trough that has been processed in step five and assembled should be powered on and subjected to a voltage withstand test.
