Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wire material processing equipment, and in particular to a flat wire straightening and centering mechanism. Background Art

[0002] As a multi-core cable, flat cable was first used in electronic computers and electronic instruments. Due to its advantages such as easy bending and small wiring space, it is also widely used in civilian appliances such as telephones and recorders. The application of insulation displacement connectors makes the termination of flat cables extremely convenient and reliable. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements on the geometric dimensions such as the center distance tolerance, center distance cumulative error and insulation thickness of flat cables, which increases the difficulty of manufacturing flat cables. The molding method of flat cables is to sandwich a group of core wires arranged evenly at a certain distance between two pieces of plastic film, and bond the three together into a flat cable by certain means. There are two problems to be solved during molding. One is how to produce two layers of plastic film that can bond or fuse to each other, and the other is to ensure that a group of wires always maintain a certain distance and are evenly arranged.
