Description

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a flexible material bending and assembly equipment used in an embodiment of this application. The equipment includes a material positioning mechanism 1, a shell positioning mechanism 2, a bending and feeding mechanism 3, and a bending verification mechanism (not shown in the figure). The flexible material bending and assembly equipment also includes a flexible material placement platform 4 for placing the target flexible material and a shell positioning platform 5 for placing the target shell.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, the bending and feeding mechanism includes a bending support 31, a pushing component, and at least two bending components 32. The bending support 31 is a cylindrical object with a side shape that is a preset shape that the target flexible material needs to be bent into. The at least two bending components 32 are arranged around the bending support 31, and the target flexible material located between the bending components 32 and the bending support 31 is squeezed towards the periphery of the bending support 31, so that the target flexible material conforms to the side shape of the bending support 31, thereby bending it into a preset shape.

[0056] In this embodiment, the bending assembly 32 is specifically configured as three, located to the left, right and below the bending support member 31 respectively, and driven by a cylinder to approach or move away from the bending support member 31. In other embodiments, in order to precisely control the distance approaching the bending support member 31, the bending assembly 32 can also be driven by a lead screw.

[0057] In this embodiment, the bending verification mechanism is installed on the bending support member, specifically configured as a pressure sensor installed along the periphery of the bending support member, which can accurately detect the pressure at various positions on the periphery of the bending support member.

[0058] The flexible material bending and assembly equipment also includes a contour guide plate with contour grooves. The contour grooves are similar in shape to the preset shape and are used to guide the target flexible material into the target shell. The contour guide plate is set on the shell positioning platform. After the target shell is loaded, the contour guide plate is located above the target shell.

[0059] The pushing component pushes the target flexible material into the target shell through the contouring groove on the contouring guide plate, thereby realizing the bending and assembly of the target flexible material.

[0060] In this application, the target flexible material to be bent and assembled is a cable. Specifically, the cable is a double-layered cable. In the embodiments of this application, the cable includes a main line and an auxiliary line that is shorter than the main line and intertwined with the main line.

[0061] The following describes a specific embodiment of a flexible material bending and assembly method according to this application. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a flexible material bending and assembly method according to an embodiment of this application. This specification provides the method operation steps as shown in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on conventional or non-inventive labor, more or fewer operation steps may be included. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one possible execution order among many and does not represent the only execution order. In actual system or server product execution, the method can be executed sequentially according to the embodiments or drawings, or in parallel (e.g., in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment). Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, this method, applied to a flexible material bending and assembly equipment, may include:

[0062] S201: In response to the material feeding signal, send a clamping and positioning signal to the material positioning mechanism.

[0063] S202: In response to the housing loading signal, a side-push positioning signal is sent to the housing positioning mechanism.

[0064] S203: Send a bending signal to the bending and feeding mechanism; the bending signal instructs the bending and feeding mechanism to bend the target flexible material into a preset shape.

[0065] S204: Obtain verification information from the bending verification agency.

[0066] S205: If the verification information indicates that the shape of the bent target flexible material is correct, send a feeding signal to the bending and feeding mechanism; the feeding signal instructs the bending and feeding mechanism to assemble the bent target flexible material into the target shell.

[0067] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a flexible material bending and assembly method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method may include:

[0068] S301: In response to the material feeding signal, send a clamping and positioning signal to the material positioning mechanism.

[0069] S302: In response to the housing loading signal, a side-push positioning signal is sent to the housing positioning mechanism.

[0070] In this embodiment, both the flexible material placement platform and the housing positioning platform are equipped with a feeding detection device, which can be configured as an optical coupler detection sensor. When the cable or target housing is fed, it will block the light emitted by the optical coupler detection sensor, thereby detecting that the cable or target housing has been fed and subsequent steps can be performed.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, the feeding of the cable line or the target shell can be done manually or automatically by other mechanical equipment.

[0072] S303: Send a bending signal to the bending and feeding mechanism.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the bending signal, the three bending components of the bending feeding mechanism approach the bending support component in a preset order.

[0074] S304: In response to the bending feeding mechanism bending the target flexible material, obtain the verification information from the bending verification mechanism.

[0075] Obtain verification information from the bending verification mechanism, including obtaining first verification information of the first feature area on the bending support component and obtaining second verification information of the second feature area on the bending support component.

[0076] The first characteristic area includes the recessed and protruding areas on the bending support, which are areas where the cable line is prone to spring back during bending and movement.

[0077] The second characteristic region includes a smooth area on the bending support component, which has a low probability of springback during the bending and movement of the cable line.

[0078] S305: Determine whether the target flexible material is bent to the correct position. If it is, proceed to S306; if it is not, proceed to S304.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, the method for determining whether the target flexible material is bent in place is to determine whether the first verification information is greater than the fourth preset threshold.

[0080] In some possible embodiments, the presence of a cable line at a specific location can also be detected by using radar detection equipment to determine whether the cable line reaches that specific location.

[0081] S306: Send a stop signal to the bending and feeding mechanism.

[0082] If the bending assembly applies too little force to the cable, the cable will not be bent properly, affecting subsequent assembly. If the bending assembly applies too much force to the cable, the cable will be squeezed too much, which may damage or break the flexible cable.

[0083] With the above settings, the bending component can be stopped at an appropriate position, and the force applied to the cable line as a whole can be balanced. Because when bending, applying force to the concave and convex areas will inevitably put pressure on the smooth areas, the second verification information of the smooth areas will fluctuate continuously during the bending process and is not suitable as a reference for whether the bending is in place.

[0084] The process of pressure sensor continuously detecting is also a process of continuous power consumption. Therefore, using only the key first verification information as a reference for whether the bend is in place can reduce energy consumption while ensuring balanced force on the cable line as a whole.

[0085] In another possible embodiment, a stop signal is sent to the bending and feeding mechanism after a preset time, and the verification information from the bending verification mechanism is obtained. That is, the verification information from the bending verification mechanism is obtained only after the bending component has completed bending, so the bending verification mechanism does not need to be continuously running, which can minimize energy consumption.

[0086] S307: Determine whether the first verification information is within the first preset threshold. If yes, execute S308; otherwise, execute S311.

[0087] S308: Determine whether the second verification information is within the second preset threshold. If yes, execute S310; otherwise, execute S309.

[0088] S309: Determine if the difference between the second verification information and the second preset threshold is within the third preset threshold. If yes, execute S310; otherwise, execute S311.

[0089] In this embodiment of the application, the range of the first preset threshold is much smaller than the range of the second preset threshold, that is, the requirement standard for the first verification information is much higher than that for the second verification information.

[0090] In one possible embodiment, for reference, the third preset threshold may be one-tenth of the second preset threshold.

[0091] S310: Sends a feeding signal to the bending and feeding mechanism.

[0092] Sending a feeding signal to the bending and feeding mechanism includes:

[0093] Send a clamping movement signal to the bending and feeding mechanism; the clamping movement signal instructs the three bending components to clamp the cable line, keep it in contact with the bending support, and move to the target housing position, specifically above the target housing and the contour guide plate.

[0094] Send a pushing signal to the bending and feeding mechanism; the pushing signal instructs the pushing assembly to push the target cable line into the target housing through the contour guide plate.

[0095] Since the recessed and protruding areas are prone to springback during the clamping and moving of the cable, a pushing signal is sent to the bending and unloading mechanism. This includes obtaining auxiliary verification information on the first characteristic area on the bending support, which includes the recessed and protruding areas on the bending support. If the auxiliary verification information indicates that the shape of the cable remains after bending, a pushing signal is sent to the bending and unloading mechanism.

[0096] The above auxiliary verification ensured that the cable was in the correct shape before entering the contour guide plate. Because the bent cable was kept within the assembly assembly process, the phenomenon of the bent cable springing back and becoming difficult to assemble was effectively avoided. Furthermore, the contour guide plate prevented the bent cable from changing its posture during assembly.

[0097] S311: Send a reset signal to at least two bending components.

[0098] In this embodiment, the reset signal indicates that the three bending components are moved away from the bending support. At this time, the cable line shape is incorrect, and the waste is subsequently removed from the flexible material placement platform by manual labor or other mechanical equipment.

[0099] In one possible embodiment, the cable line can be aligned manually or by other mechanical equipment, and the bending and assembly operations described above can be performed again.

[0100] This application also provides a flexible material bending and assembly device, which is applied to flexible material bending and assembly equipment.
