[0057] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and then the support motor 148 drives the support block 149 to move toward the direction of the cable terminal, so that the cable terminal falls into the support groove 1491 of the support block 149, and then the support motor 148 stops working, and then the limit motor 1410 drives the limit block 1420 to move toward the direction of the support block 149, so that the limit block 1420 drives the limit rod 1430 to move toward the direction of the support block 149, so that the first inclined surface of the block 1450 on the limit rod 1430 contacts the side wall of the support block 149 at the lifting groove 1493, This causes the limiting rod 1430 to rotate away from the support block 149 and twist the limiting torsion spring 1440, thereby causing the stop block 1450 to slide along the bottom wall of the lifting groove 1493 toward the pressing groove 1492 until the stop block 1450 moves to the support groove 1491. At this time, the stop block 1450 is separated from the lifting groove 1493, allowing the limiting torsion spring 1440 to reset, thereby driving the limiting rod 1430 to rotate toward the support block 149, thereby driving the stop block 1450 to press against the cable terminal located in the support groove 1491. Referring to the figure, the clamping assembly 12 then releases the cable, and the rotating power member drives the rotating tube 143 to rotate, thereby driving the support member and the limiting member to rotate, thereby driving the cable to rotate, until the engaging surface of the cable terminal rotates to a vertically downward state, at which time the rotating power member stops working and the clamping assembly 12 re-clamps the cable.
[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5Finally, the limit motor 1410 drives the limit block 1420 to move in the direction away from the support block 149, so that the limit block 1420 drives the limit rod 1430 to move in the direction away from the support block 149, thereby causing the limit rod 1430 to drive the stop block 1450 to move in the direction of the lifting groove 1493, so that the second inclined surface on the stop block 1450 contacts the side wall of the support block 149 located at the lifting groove 1493, thereby causing the stop block 1450 to move upward, thereby driving the limit rod 1430 to rotate upward and twist the limit torsion spring 1440, so that the stop block 1450 moves to the lifting groove 1493 until the stop block 1450 is separated from the support block 149, so that the limit torsion spring 1440 is reset again, thereby driving the limit rod 1430 to reset, thereby releasing the limit of the cable terminal by the stop block 1450, so that the cable can be transported to the next process.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 9 After the angle of the cable terminal is adjusted, the vacuum suction head 362 sucks the cable terminal and the cable is transported to the forming mechanism 2 for forming by the transport component 32 and the fine-tuning component 33. During the cable forming process, the fine-tuning component 33 fine-tunes the position of the lifting component 35 and the grabbing component 36 so that the cable terminal can be moved above the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove on the workpiece. Figure 10 and Figure 11 Then, after adjusting the shape of the cable, the lifting motor 351 drives the lifting screw rod 352 to descend, thereby driving the lifting guide rod 355 to descend, so that the lifting guide rod 355 drives the connecting block 367 to descend through the pressure sensor 371, so that the connecting block 367 pushes the limit plate 3610 downward through the sensor spring 372, thereby driving the lifting slider 354 to move downward, thereby driving the vacuum rod 361 to move downward, so that the vacuum suction head 362 drives the terminal of the cable to gradually move downward.
[0078] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11When the terminal of the cable contacts the installation position on the workpiece, the vacuum suction head 362 is subjected to resistance, so that the descent of the vacuum rod 361 is also subjected to resistance and slowed down, while the lifting motor 351 continues to operate, thereby driving the lifting screw rod 352 to continue to descend, thereby driving the connecting block 367 to continue to approach the direction of the lifting slider 354, thereby compressing the sensing spring 372, so that the elastic force generated by the sensing spring 372 is transmitted to the connecting block 367, so that the connecting block 367 generates a force on the pressure sensor 371, so that the force can be captured by the pressure sensor 371, and the pressure sensor 371 transmits the detected pressure value of the sensing spring 372 to the control system. At the same time, as the lifting slider 354 descends, the reading head 374 also continuously reads the value on the magnetic scale 373 and transmits it to the control system. When the control system determines that the pressure value and the displacement value are both within the normal range set by the system, the control system sends a control instruction to the lifting motor 351, so that the lifting motor 351 continues to work, thereby driving the lifting screw rod 352 to continue to descend, thereby causing the connecting block 367 to continue to descend, and driving the vacuum rod 361 and the lifting slider 354 to continue to descend through the sensing spring 372, so that the vacuum suction head 362 on the vacuum rod 361 drives the terminal of the cable to continue to move downward, thereby fastening the terminal of the cable to the workpiece.
[0079] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 When fastening the cable terminal to the workpiece, the control system detects whether the pressure and displacement values are within the set normal range. If the pressure value detected by the control system reaches the system's set value, the control system determines that the cable terminal is fastened and sends a stop command to the lifting motor 351, at which point the fastening operation is complete. If, during the process of fastening the cable terminal and before the baffle 377 descends to the second sensor 376, the pressure value received by the control system exceeds the set normal range, or the displacement value does not meet the standard, the control system sends a stop command to the lifting motor 351 and determines that the cable terminal has failed to fasten.

As for the specific imaging principle of the detection camera 451 taking pictures, it is the existing technology in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0087] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 14 After the coincidence detection of the terminal at one end of the cable and the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove on the workpiece is completed, the travel component 42 moves the test seat 44 in the direction away from the workpiece, and the adjustment component 43 transports the test seat 44 toward the other end of the cable, and then the travel component 42 transports the test seat 44 to the other end of the cable, and then the coincidence detection of the terminal at the other end of the cable and the terminal installation position at the other end of the cable installation groove of the workpiece is performed again in the above manner. After the detection is completed, the travel component 42 moves the test seat 44 in the direction away from the workpiece, so that the cable can be accurately fastened to the workpiece.
[0088] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: by conveying bundled cables to the branching mechanism 6, the branching mechanism 6 disperses the bundled cables, and then the feeding mechanism 5 grabs the scattered cables one by one and conveys them to the angle adjustment mechanism 1, and the angle adjustment mechanism 1 adjusts the angle of the cable terminal so that the angle of the cable terminal is in a vertical downward state. Then, the conveying component 32 and the fine-tuning component 33 drive the grabbing component 36 to move to the angle adjustment mechanism 1, and the lifting component 35 drives the grabbing component 36 to descend so that the grabbing component 36 absorbs the cable terminal, and then the cable is conveyed to the forming mechanism 2, and the forming mechanism 2 shapes the cable so that the shape of the cable is consistent with the shape of the cable installation groove on the workpiece. In the shaping process, the fine-tuning component 33 adjusts the position of the grabbing component 36 so that the cable terminal can be moved above the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove of the workpiece.
[0089] At the same time, the workpiece is transported to the forming frame 21 by the feeding mechanism, and the cable installation groove of the workpiece is aligned with the shaped cable. Then, the visual inspection mechanism 4 is used to detect the degree of overlap between the cable terminal and the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove on the workpiece. When the cable terminal and the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove coincide with each other, the lifting assembly 35 drives the grabbing assembly 36 to descend, so that the grabbing assembly 36 drives the cable terminal to descend. At the same time, the cable is pressed down by the pushing assembly 23, so that the cable is pressed into the cable installation groove of the workpiece, and the cable terminal is buckled at the terminal installation position of the cable installation groove of the workpiece, thereby completing the installation of the cable.
