At the same time, the cutting mechanism 200 is used to cut the cable sheath. The first rotary clamping mechanism 600 is also used to cooperate with the cutting mechanism 200 to keep the cable sheath and the cable in a semi-peeled state.

[0062] The automatic number tube threading mechanism 300 is used to thread the number tube for the cable whose sheath is in a semi-stripped state;

[0063] The stripping mechanism 400 is used to strip the sheath of the cable after it passes through the number tube;

[0064] The crimping mechanism 500 is used to crimp the cable and the terminal.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 24-25 As shown, the traction mechanism 100 includes: a second housing 101, a plurality of transmission wheels 102 are provided on the top of the second housing 101, a third driving assembly 103 is provided inside the second housing 101, and the third driving assembly 103 is used to drive the transmission wheels 102 to rotate, so that the transmission wheels 102 drive the cable to move;

[0066] Specifically, the input end of the transmission wheel 102 is provided with multiple sets of guide wheels 104, which are used to prevent the cable from deviating during movement; the output end of the transmission wheel 102 is provided with a second guide tube 105, and the output end of the second guide tube 105 is connected to the first rotary clamping mechanism 600 to prevent the cable from deviating when entering the first rotary clamping mechanism 600; in this embodiment, the second guide tube 105 is a hose and can rotate arbitrarily with the first rotary clamping mechanism 600;

[0067] Working principle: When using the terminal crimping machine, the traction mechanism 100 pulls the cable to move until the cable moves to the first rotary clamping mechanism 600. The first rotary clamping mechanism 600 clamps the cable and drives the cable to rotate to the cutting mechanism 200. At this time, the cutting mechanism 200 cuts the wire sheath of the cable. After the cutting is completed, the first rotary clamping mechanism 600 clamps the cable and moves slightly away from the cutting mechanism 200. At this time, the first rotary clamping mechanism cooperates with the cutting mechanism 200 to make the wire sheath and the cable in a semi-peeled state; then, the first rotary clamping mechanism 600 drives the cable to move to the automatic number tube threading mechanism 300, and the automatic number tube threading mechanism 300 threads the number tube onto the cable. code tube; when the number tube is inserted, the first rotary clamping mechanism 600 drives the cable to move to the stripping mechanism 400, and the stripping mechanism 400 strips the wire skin on the cable that is in a semi-stripped state; finally, the first rotary clamping mechanism 600 drives the cable to move to the crimping mechanism 500, the terminal is aligned with the end of the cable, and the crimping mechanism 500 crimps the cable and the terminal; through the above structure, in the present application, before inserting the number tube, the wire skin is in a semi-stripped state, so that when inserting the number tube, the number tube will not be unable to pass accurately due to the "bifurcation" of the metal wire, thereby improving the efficiency of inserting the number tube; at the same time, in the process of connecting the cable and the terminal, the entire process is carried out automatically by machine, which saves production efficiency, does not require a lot of manpower, and saves costs.
