Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire processing technology, and specifically to a wire color sorting device. Background technology:

[0002] Modern electronic products often involve ribbon cables connecting electronic components to circuit boards. These ribbon cables are easy to use as they can be directly plugged in. The ribbon cable includes a housing and multiple wires fixed to the housing. One end of each wire is soldered, and the other end has a terminal that inserts into the housing to form the ribbon cable.

[0003] In existing technologies, manual insertion of terminals with live wires into the housing is done using hand tools. This method cannot guarantee assembly quality, and manual operation is particularly cumbersome, inefficient, and labor-intensive, especially for shorter wires. Furthermore, the sheer number of wires between electronic components and circuit boards, coupled with the fact that this process is currently largely manual, results in extremely low efficiency, making it unsuitable for large-scale, intensive production and causing significant problems for manufacturers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for automated production equipment to improve efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity.

[0004] In this regard, the applicant has filed an invention patent with authorization announcement number CN108598837B, which discloses a fully automatic end-cutting and shell-piercing machine, comprising: a machine base; a wire feeding device, which includes an X-axis wire feeding drive mechanism and a wire clamping and feeding module mounted on the X-axis wire feeding drive mechanism; a wire stripping device, which is mounted on the machine base and located beside the wire feeding device; a first end-cutting device, which is mounted on one side of the wire stripping device and located behind the wire feeding device; and a second end-cutting device, which is mounted on... On the other side of the wire stripping device; a translational wire feeding mechanism, installed beside the wire stripping device and the second terminal crimping device; a plastic shell feeding device, including a plastic shell feeding module, a plastic shell discharge seat, and a pushing module mounted on the machine base, a baffle plate installed at the end of the plastic shell discharge seat, and a baffle cylinder for driving the baffle plate to move upward to block the discharge port of the plastic shell discharge seat, the upper end of the baffle plate is provided with a trumpet-shaped wire insertion hole; a wire clamping and translational wire insertion device, installed on the machine base and located beside the second terminal crimping device and the plastic shell feeding device. The entire operation process of the fully automatic terminal crimping and plastic shell threading machine (stripping, tinning, terminal crimping, glue feeding, plastic shell threading, etc.) is completed automatically, which is very convenient to operate, and helps to improve work efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity.

[0005] However, for cables with multiple sub-wires of different colors, the manufacturing process of a ribbon cable requires stripping, tinning, and terminal crimping each sub-wire. All sub-wire terminals are then inserted into a housing to form a connector, which is then combined with the cable to create the ribbon cable. Because the cable has multiple sub-wires of different colors, and considering that the arrangement of these colors can affect connector mating, the arrangement of the sub-wires must be carefully controlled. However, the arrangement of the sub-wires varies after the cable leaves the factory, but the arrangement of the sub-wires connected in the connector must meet certain requirements. For example, four different colored sub-wires might be arranged from left to right as red, white, black, and yellow. Therefore, when inserting the terminals with sub-wires into the housing, the four different colored sub-wires must first be arranged in the order of red, white, black, and yellow before inserting the terminals into the housing to create a ribbon cable that meets the requirements.

[0006] The aforementioned fully automatic terminal crimping and casing machine cannot distinguish the order of multiple sub-wires of different colors, nor can it reorder multiple sub-wires of different colors according to requirements, thus failing to produce ribbon cable products that meet the requirements.

[0007] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Summary of the Invention:

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a wire color sorting device.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A wire color sorting device includes: a visual inspection mechanism for taking pictures of multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the wire to determine the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors; a base frame; a wire transfer clamping mechanism installed at the front end of the base frame and used to clamp the wire being transferred, wherein the multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the wire are placed outside the wire transfer clamping mechanism; a wire splitting clamp device, including multiple wire splitting clamps installed on the base frame and capable of clamping one sub-wire, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms respectively installed with the wire splitting clamps and capable of driving the wire splitting clamps to lift independently, and a horizontal moving mechanism installed at the front end of the base frame. The system includes a moving mechanism and a wire guide plate mounted on the horizontal moving mechanism and driven by the horizontal moving mechanism to achieve horizontal movement. The upper end of the wire guide plate has multiple slots that can accommodate and position a sub-wire, with each slot corresponding to a wire divider. A carrying and lifting mechanism includes a second lifting drive mechanism and a carrying and lifting plate mounted on the second lifting drive mechanism and driven by the second lifting drive mechanism to achieve lifting. A combing and separating mechanism includes a combing and separating plate that combs and disperses multiple sub-wires of different colors carried on the carrying and lifting plate, and a third lifting drive mechanism for driving the combing and separating plate to lift. The combing and separating plate has multiple combing and separating grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, during operation, before the wire is transferred to the wire transfer clamping mechanism, a visual inspection mechanism photographs multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the wire end to determine the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors. If the arrangement of the sub-wires of different colors in the wire does not match the preset arrangement of the sub-wires of different colors, the wire separating device, the bearing lifting mechanism, and the combing and separating mechanism are controlled to work together to reorder the sub-wires of different colors so that the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors meets the preset requirements. Specifically, the wire transfer clamping mechanism clamps the transferred wire, and the multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the wire end are placed outside the wire transfer clamping mechanism and placed on the upper part of the bearing lifting plate. Then, the third lifting drive mechanism drives the combing and separating plate to descend and insert into the multiple sub-wires of different colors, so that the multiple sub-wires of different colors are embedded one-to-one into the combing and separating grooves of the combing and separating plate, thereby combing and dispersing the multiple sub-wires of different colors. Then, multiple first... A lifting drive mechanism, in conjunction with multiple wire clamps, clamps and fixes the ends of multiple sub-lines of different colors. One wire clamp holds and fixes the end of one sub-line. Then, a second lifting drive mechanism drives the support top plate downwards to move away from the sub-line, while a third lifting drive mechanism drives the combing and separating plate upwards to move away from the sub-line. Subsequently, according to the preset sorting order of the different colored sub-lines, a horizontal moving mechanism drives the arranging tooth plate to move, so that the Nth tooth on the arranging tooth plate moves below the sub-line in the Nth order (where N is a positive integer). Then, a first lifting drive mechanism drives the wire clamp holding the Nth sub-line downwards, so that the Nth sub-line falls into and is positioned in the Nth tooth. The wire clamp then releases the sub-line, and this step is repeated until all sub-lines are positioned in the tooth. This achieves the arrangement and shaping of all sub-lines according to a preset order. Finally, a second lifting drive mechanism drives the support top plate upwards to lift all the sub-lines and remove them from the tooth, allowing the transfer mechanism to move the wires to the next workstation.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the visual inspection mechanism includes a stand installed on the side of the base frame, a ring light source installed on the stand in an adjustable height manner, and a camera installed on the upper end of the stand and with adjustable height, the camera being located above the ring light source.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the front end of the support frame is provided with a shaping clamping module for clamping all sub-wires outside the end of the wire and driving all sub-wires to be distributed in a straight line. The shaping clamping module is located below the ring light source. The front end of the shaping clamping module has an upper shaping clamping block and a lower shaping clamping block. The lower end of the upper shaping clamping block is provided with an upper shaping boss, and the upper end of the lower shaping clamping block is provided with a lower shaping boss that matches the upper shaping boss.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the wire transplanting clamping mechanism includes an adjusting frame installed on the upper end of the base frame and whose relative position can be adjusted, and a first wire clamp installed at the front end of the adjusting frame. The first wire clamp has a first left clamping block and a second left clamping block that can be opened or closed to the left and right.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the third lifting drive mechanism includes a slide fixed to the upper end of the base frame, a rack passing through the slide and sliding up and down relative to the slide, a motor installed on the upper end of the base frame, and a gear installed on the rotating end of the motor and meshing with the rack. The upper end of the combing and separating plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rack.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the upper end of the rack has a groove, and at least one inner wall of the groove is formed with a plurality of first teeth connected in sequence, which mesh with the gear; the slide has vertically distributed sliding grooves, and the front end of the slide is provided with a receiving groove that communicates with the sliding grooves; the rack is embedded in the sliding grooves, and the outer side of the upper end of the rack is also formed with a horizontally protruding stop to prevent the rack from sliding down excessively; the upper end of the combing and parting plate is also placed in the receiving groove.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a spiked guide portion is formed between two adjacent combing and separating grooves, and guide slopes are provided on both sides of the lower end of the spiked guide portion; the horizontal moving mechanism is an electric slide table; and the second lifting drive mechanism is a cylinder.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the wire divider includes a wire divider body and a first upper clamping block and a first lower clamping block installed at the end of the wire divider body and driven by the wire divider body to clamp or separate from each other. The lower front side of the first upper clamping block is provided with a first pressing part for pressing the sub-wire and a second pressing part located beside the first pressing part for pressing the terminal pressed at the end of the sub-wire. The upper front side of the first lower clamping block is provided with a wire pressing groove for cooperating with the first pressing part to press the sub-wire and a step located beside the wire pressing groove for cooperating with the second pressing part to press the terminal. The wire divider body is connected to the first lifting drive mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, grooves are provided on both sides of the middle of the first upper clamping block and the first lower clamping block, so that the middle of the first upper clamping block and the first lower clamping block are formed with a first sliding part and a second sliding part; a guide seat is provided on the base frame, and a guide groove is provided on the guide seat from top to bottom. The first sliding part and the second sliding part are both provided in the guide groove and can slide up and down, and the groove also surrounds the periphery of the side opening of the guide groove.

[0019] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The wire color sorting device of the present invention is used to reorder multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of a wire, so that the sorted sub-wires meet the preset color requirements. For example, the original four sub-wires at the end of the wire are red, black, white, and yellow in sequence. The wire color sorting device can arrange the colors of the four sub-wires according to the preset requirements, in the order of black, yellow, red, and white, that is, black sub-wire first, yellow sub-wire second, red sub-wire third, and white sub-wire fourth. Of course, the number of sub-wires can be more than four or less than four to meet different production needs. This invention employs a third lifting drive mechanism to drive the combing and separating plate to descend and insert multiple sub-threads of different colors. This allows the multiple sub-threads of different colors to be embedded one-to-one into the combing and separating grooves of the combing and separating plate, thereby combing and dispersing the multiple sub-threads of different colors. Then, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms, in conjunction with multiple separating clamps, clamp and fix the ends of the multiple sub-threads of different colors. This can better achieve thread separation and facilitate the subsequent reordering of the sub-threads of different colors to meet different production needs. Attached image description:

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] See Figure 1-8The image shows a wire color sorting device. This device reorders multiple sub-wires of different colors at the end of a wire to ensure they meet preset color requirements. For example, if the original four sub-wires at the end of the wire are red, black, white, and yellow, the device can arrange them according to a preset order: black, yellow, red, and white. Specifically, the black sub-wire is first, the yellow sub-wire is second, the red sub-wire is third, and the white sub-wire is fourth. Of course, the number of sub-wires can be more than four or less to meet different production needs.

[0030] The wire color sorting device includes: a visual inspection mechanism 1, a base frame 2, a wire transplanting and clamping mechanism 3, a wire separating clamp device 4, a bearing and lifting mechanism 5, and a combing and separating mechanism 6.

[0031] The visual inspection mechanism 1 is used to photograph multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the cable to determine the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors. The cable transplant clamping mechanism 3 is installed at the front end of the base frame 2 and is used to clamp the transmitted cable, with the multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the cable placed outside the cable transplant clamping mechanism 3. The cable splitting clamp device 4 includes multiple cable splitting clamps 41 installed on the base frame 2 and capable of clamping one sub-wire, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms 42 respectively installed with the cable splitting clamps 41 and capable of driving the cable splitting clamps 41 to lift independently, a horizontal moving mechanism 43 installed at the front end of the base frame 2, and a cable guide plate 44 installed on the horizontal moving mechanism 43 and capable of horizontal movement by the horizontal moving mechanism 43. The upper end of the plate 44 has multiple toothed grooves 45 that can accommodate and position a sub-line, and one toothed groove 45 corresponds to one branching clamp 41; the bearing and lifting mechanism 5 includes a second lifting drive mechanism 51 and a bearing and lifting plate 52 mounted on the second lifting drive mechanism 51 and driven by the second lifting drive mechanism 51 to achieve lifting; the combing and separating mechanism 6 includes a combing and separating plate 61 for combing, dispersing and positioning multiple sub-lines of different colors carried on the bearing and lifting plate 52 and a third lifting drive mechanism 62 for driving the combing and separating plate 61 to lift. The combing and separating plate 61 has multiple combing and separating grooves 611. In operation, before the wire is transferred to the wire transfer clamping mechanism 3, the vision inspection mechanism 1 takes pictures of the multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the wire to determine the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors. If the arrangement of the sub-wires of different colors in the wire does not match the preset arrangement of the sub-wires of different colors, the wire splitting clamp device 4, the bearing lifting mechanism 5, and the combing and splitting mechanism 6 are controlled to work together to reorder the sub-wires of different colors so that the arrangement order of the sub-wires of different colors meets the preset requirements.The wire is transferred and held by the wire transfer clamping mechanism 3, with multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the wire ends positioned outside the wire transfer clamping mechanism 3 and placed on the upper end of the support top plate 52. Then, the third lifting drive mechanism 62 drives the combing and separating plate 61 to descend and insert into the multiple sub-wires of different colors, so that the multiple sub-wires of different colors are embedded one-to-one into the combing and separating grooves 611 of the combing and separating plate 61, so that the multiple sub-wires of different colors are combed, dispersed and positioned. Then, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms 42 cooperate with multiple separating clamps 41 to clamp and fix the ends of the multiple sub-wires of different colors, wherein one separating clamp 41 clamps and fixes the end of one sub-wire. Then, the second lifting drive mechanism 51 drives the support top plate 52 to move down to move away from the sub-wires, while the third lifting drive mechanism... The first lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the combing and separating plate 61 to rise and leave the sub-lines; then, according to the preset sorting order of different colored sub-lines, the horizontal moving mechanism 43 drives the arranging tooth plate 44 to move, so that the Nth tooth groove 45 on the arranging tooth plate 44 moves to below the sub-line sorted as N, where N is a positive integer. Then, the first lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the separating clamp 41 that holds and positions the sub-line sorted as N to move down, so that the sub-line sorted as N falls into and is positioned in the Nth tooth groove 45. Then, the separating clamp 41 releases the sub-line, and this step is repeated until all the sub-lines are positioned in the tooth groove 45, so that all the sub-lines are arranged in the preset order and the sub-lines are shaped. Finally, the second lifting drive mechanism 51 drives the carrying top plate 52 to rise, so as to lift all the sub-lines and remove them from the tooth groove 45, so that the transfer mechanism can transfer the wires to the next station.

[0032] The visual inspection mechanism 1 includes a stand 11 mounted beside the base frame 2, a ring light source 12 mounted on the stand 11 with adjustable height, and a camera 13 mounted on the upper end of the stand 11 with adjustable height, the camera 13 being positioned above the ring light source 12. The heights of the ring light source 12 and the camera 13 can be adjusted according to different usage requirements, enabling the camera 13 to take high-definition photos and meet the purpose of visual inspection.

[0033] The front end of the support frame 11 is provided with a shaping clamping module 14 for clamping all sub-wires outside the end of the wire and driving all sub-wires to be distributed in a straight line. The shaping clamping module 14 is located below the ring light source 12. The front end of the shaping clamping module 14 has an upper shaping clamping block 141 and a lower shaping clamping block 142. The lower end of the upper shaping clamping block 141 is provided with an upper shaping boss 101, and the upper end of the lower shaping clamping block 142 is provided with a lower shaping boss 102 that matches the upper shaping boss 101. When multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of the wire are moved into the vision inspection mechanism 1 for the vision inspection mechanism 1 to take pictures of the sub-wires, they are clamped by the upper shaping boss 101 of the shaping clamp block 141 and the lower shaping boss 102 of the lower shaping clamp block 142 on the shaping clamp module 14, so that all the sub-wires are distributed in a straight line, that is, arranged horizontally side by side. This makes it easier for the vision inspection mechanism 1 to take pictures of the sub-wires to confirm the original arrangement order of the multiple sub-wires of different colors, and to achieve the purpose of shaping the multiple sub-wires of different colors. This allows the wire splitting clamp device 4 to separate and reorder the multiple sub-wires of different colors in the later stage, improving work efficiency and work quality.

[0034] The wire transplanting clamping mechanism 3 includes an adjusting frame 31 mounted on the upper end of the base frame 2 and adjustable in relative position, and a first wire clamp 32 mounted on the front end of the adjusting frame 31. The first wire clamp 32 has a first left clamping block 321 and a second left clamping block 322 that can open or close to the left and right. During operation, the first wire clamp 32 drives the first left clamping block 321 and the second left clamping block 322 to open and then close to each other, thereby effectively clamping the end of the wire.

[0035] The third lifting drive mechanism 62 includes a slide 621 fixed to the upper end of the base frame 2, a rack 622 passing through the slide 621 and slidable up and down relative to the slide 621, a motor 623 mounted on the upper end of the base frame 2, and a gear 624 mounted on the rotating end of the motor 623 and meshing with the rack 622. The upper end of the combing and separating plate 61 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rack 622. The third lifting drive mechanism 62 uses the gear 624 and the rack 622 to drive the combing and separating plate 61 to lift and lower. It operates stably and has a self-locking purpose, that is, when the motor 623 is not working, the gear 624 and the rack 622 will not move relative to each other, thus achieving the purpose of self-locking.

[0036] The rack 622 has a groove 601 at its upper end. At least one inner wall of the groove 601 is formed with a plurality of sequentially connected first teeth 602. These first teeth 602 are placed in the groove 601 and mesh with the gear 624, making the installation structure more compact and reducing installation space. The slide 621 has vertically distributed sliding grooves 603, and the front end of the slide 621 is provided with a receiving groove 604 communicating with the sliding grooves 603. The rack 622 is embedded in the sliding grooves 603, and the upper outer side of the rack 622 is also formed with a horizontally protruding stop 605 to prevent the rack 622 from sliding down excessively. When the rack 622 slides down to its limit position, the stop 605 blocks the upper end of the slide 621, effectively preventing the rack 622 from sliding down excessively and preventing the rack 622 from detaching from the slide 621, thus improving product quality. The upper end of the combing and splitting plate 61 is also placed in the receiving groove 604, which can reduce the installation space and make the installation structure more compact.

[0037] A spiked guide portion 612 is formed between two adjacent combing and separating grooves 611. Both sides of the lower end of the spiked guide portion 612 are provided with guide slopes. When the combing and separating plate 61 descends to insert multiple sub-lines of different colors, the spiked guide portion 612 is embedded between two sub-lines of different colors. Guided by the guide slopes, the sub-lines can enter the combing and separating grooves 611 more smoothly, resulting in better combing and separating effect. It can realize that each sub-line is inserted into the combing and separating groove 611 one by one.

[0038] The horizontal moving mechanism 43 is an electric slide table, which has a stable structure, stable operation, and high precision. It can accurately control the movement of small distances to meet the usage requirements. The second lifting drive mechanism 51 is a cylinder, which has a stable structure and low cost.

[0039] The wire divider clamp 41 includes a wire divider clamp body 411 and a first upper clamping block 412 and a first lower clamping block 413 mounted on the end of the wire divider clamp body 411 and driven by the wire divider clamp body 411 to clamp or separate from each other. The lower front end of the first upper clamping block 412 is provided with a first pressing part 401 for pressing the sub-wire and a second pressing part 402 located beside the first pressing part 401 for pressing the terminal pressed at the end of the sub-wire. The upper front end of the first lower clamping block 413 is provided with a wire pressing groove 403 for cooperating with the first pressing part 401 to press the sub-wire and a step 404 located beside the wire pressing groove 403 for cooperating with the second pressing part 402 to press the terminal. The wire divider clamp body 411 is connected to the first lifting drive mechanism 42. That is, the wire divider clamp 41 can stably clamp the end of the sub-wire and the terminal pressed at its end, so as to stably drive the sub-wire to move up and down.

[0040] The first upper clamping block 412 and the first lower clamping block 413 are provided with grooves 405 on both sides of the middle portion, so that the first upper clamping block 412 and the first lower clamping block 413 are formed with a first sliding part 406 and a second sliding part 407 in the middle portion; the base frame 2 is provided with a guide seat 21, and the guide seat 21 is provided with a guide groove 211 opened from top to bottom. The first sliding part 406 and the second sliding part 407 are both provided in the guide groove 211 and can slide up and down. The groove 405 also wraps around the outer periphery of the side opening of the guide groove 211, so as to ensure the stability of the up and down movement of the first upper clamping block 412 and the first lower clamping block 413, and there will be no deviation, thus ensuring the work quality and efficiency.

[0041] In summary, the wire color sorting device of the present invention is used to reorder multiple sub-wires of different colors outside the end of a wire, so that the sorted sub-wires meet the preset color requirements. For example, if the original four sub-wires at the end of the wire are red, black, white, and yellow in sequence, the wire color sorting device can arrange the colors of the four sub-wires according to the preset requirements, in the order of black, yellow, red, and white, that is, black sub-wire first, yellow sub-wire second, red sub-wire third, and white sub-wire fourth. Of course, the number of sub-wires can be more than four or less to meet different production needs. The present invention employs a third lifting drive mechanism 62 to drive the combing and separating plate 61 to descend and insert into multiple sub-threads of different colors, so that the multiple sub-threads of different colors are embedded one-to-one into the combing and separating grooves 611 of the combing and separating plate 61, thereby combing and dispersing the multiple sub-threads of different colors. Then, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms 42, together with multiple separating clamps 41, clamp and fix the ends of the multiple sub-threads of different colors, which can better achieve the separation of threads and facilitate the subsequent reordering of the sub-threads of different colors to meet different production needs.

Then, multiple first lifting drive mechanisms (42) cooperate with multiple separating clamps (41) to clamp them one by one. The system holds the ends of multiple sub-lines of different colors, with a branch clamp (41) holding the end of one sub-line. Then, the second lifting drive mechanism (51) drives the bearing top plate (52) to move down to leave the sub-line, while the third lifting drive mechanism (62) drives the combing branch plate (61) to rise to leave the sub-line. Subsequently, according to the preset sorting order of the sub-lines of different colors, the horizontal moving mechanism (43) drives the arranging tooth plate (44) to move, so that the Nth tooth (45) on the arranging tooth plate (44) moves to below the sub-line of sorting N, where N is a positive integer. Then, the first lifting drive mechanism (42) drives the wire clamp (41) holding the Nth sub-wire to move down, so that the Nth sub-wire falls into and is positioned in the Nth tooth groove (45). Then the wire clamp (41) releases the sub-wire, and this step is repeated until all the sub-wires are positioned in the tooth groove (45), so that all the sub-wires are arranged in a preset order and the sub-wires are shaped. Finally, the second lifting drive mechanism (51) drives the bearing top plate (52) to rise, so as to lift all the sub-wires and remove them from the tooth groove (45), so that the transfer mechanism can transfer the wires to the next station.
