[0034] Reference Figure 1-7 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] An automatic docking device for wire core wires and terminals includes a wire arranging machine for arranging a plurality of core wires that are spatially displaced side by side to form an arranged core wire group, and a welding machine for butt-welding the plurality of core wires in the arranged core wire group to the terminals, wherein the outer periphery of the core wire is wrapped with an inner sheath, and the plurality of core wires that are spatially displaced form an initial core wire group;

[0036] When the outer coating on the wire 100 is peeled off, the core wires are exposed from the outer coating. At this time, the multiple core wires are arranged in a spatially staggered manner, in a disorderly arrangement.

[0037] The wire arrangement machine includes a wire divider 400 for flattening the plurality of core wires of an initial core wire group to the same plane to form a flattened structure of a side-by-side core wire group, straightening the plurality of core wires of the side-by-side core wire group to form a straightened structure of a straightened core wire group, forming separation gaps between adjacent core wires in the straightened core wire group to form a spaced core wire group, a heighter 500 for longitudinally staggering the plurality of core wires of the spaced core wire group to form a staggered core wire group, and a sorter 600 for sequentially arranging the plurality of core wires of the staggered core wire group side by side.

[0038] The welding machine includes a stripper for stripping inner layers of core wires of the sorted core wire group to form butt sections and a welding head for welding the butt sections inserted into the terminal to the terminal.

[0039] The above-mentioned automatic docking equipment for wire core wires and terminals has a flattening structure that flattens multiple spatially dislocated core wires so that the multiple core wires are in the same plane, and then uses a straightening structure to straighten the multiple core wires. The wire splitter 400 separates the core wires into separated intervals, the height gauge 500 longitudinally dislocates the multiple core wires, and the sorter 600 transfers and sorts the multiple longitudinally dislocated core wires. The inner layer on the fresh wire is stripped off using a stripper. After the core wire is docked with the terminal, the core wire and the terminal are welded using a welding head, thereby achieving the effect of automatic docking between the core wire and the terminal, realizing automated operation, and high operation efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, the wire arrangement machine includes a camera for identifying the colors of multiple core wires in an initial core wire group and a rotating chuck 200 for rotating the wire 100 to a set angle to rotate a core wire of a specific color to a set position.

[0041] In actual operation, since each core wire has an inner sheath on the outside, the colors of the inner sheaths of the multiple core wires are different. Therefore, in order to correctly connect the multiple core wires with the terminals, the multiple core wires need to be color-coded and sorted so that the sorted multiple core wires can be connected to the terminals.

[0042] By performing color recognition on multiple core wires through video, a core wire of a specific color can be selected as a specific core wire. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the wire 100 so that the specific core wire is in a specific position. In this way, after the subsequent flattening structure flattens the multiple core wires, it can be ensured that the specific core wire is formed at the side edge of the side-by-side core wire group.

[0043] In this embodiment, the flattening structure includes a base 301, which is provided with a flattening groove for accommodating the initial core wire group, and above the flattening groove there is a flattening head 300 that moves longitudinally and presses against the initial core wire group to form a side-by-side core wire group; the straightening structure has a clamping head that clamps multiple core wires of the side-by-side core wire group and pulls linearly relative to the multiple core wires to form a straightened core wire group.

[0044] The initial core wire assembly is placed in the flattening groove, and the flattening head 300 is used to press the multiple core wires so that all the core wires are pressed to the bottom of the flattening groove, so that the multiple core wires are in the same plane. Since the multiple core wires after flattening may have curves or other shapes instead of being arranged in a straight line, the clamping head can be used to clamp the multiple core wires and pull them relative to each other to make the core wires straight.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bottom of the flattening groove has a flat bottom surface, and the bottom of the flattening head 300 has a flat pressing surface. When the initial core wire group is placed in the flattening groove, a core wire of a specific color abuts against the bottom surface, and the pressing surface longitudinally abuts against multiple core wires of the initial core wire group, so that multiple core wires all abut against the bottom surface to form a side-by-side core wire group.

[0046] A core wire of a certain color is first abutted against the bottom surface. In this way, after multiple core wires are pressed and arranged side by side, the core wire of the certain color can be ensured to be located at the side edge of the side-by-side core wire group, so as to facilitate the subsequent sorting of multiple core wires.

[0047] In this embodiment, the clamping head is movably connected to a longitudinal guide rail 201, which is movably connected to a transverse guide rail 202. The transverse guide rail 202 is connected to a swing seat that swings back and forth longitudinally. In this way, the clamping head can be clamped or released from the core wire by moving on the longitudinal guide rail 201. When the clamping head clamps the core wire, the longitudinal guide rail 201 moves along the transverse guide rail 202, which can cause the clamping head to move axially relative to the core wire, thereby pulling the clamping head relative to the core wire.

[0048] During the process of the clamping head pulling the core wire, the swing seat can swing, so that the clamping head can pull and swing at the same time, which can make the clamping head more efficient in pulling the core wire into a straight line.

[0049] In this embodiment, the wire splitter 400 includes a plurality of wire splitting bars 401 arranged side by side and inserted between the core wires of the straightened core wire group, and wire splitting grooves 402 for accommodating the core wires of the straightened core wire group are provided between adjacent wire splitting bars 401; when the wire splitting bars 401 are inserted between the core wires of the straightened core wire group, the wire splitter 400 moves along the axial direction of the core wire until the core wire is separated from the wire splitting groove 402, and the straightened core wire group forms a spaced core wire group.

[0050] The adjacent core wires are separated by inserting the branching bar 401 between the adjacent core wires, and the branching bar 401 is moved along the axial direction of the core wires to form separation spaces between the core wires.

[0051] In this embodiment, the height gauge 500 has multiple height grooves 501 for accommodating the core wires of the spaced core wire group, and the multiple height grooves 501 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction; the bottom of the height groove 501 has a height surface 502 for the core wire to abut, and the height surfaces 502 of the multiple height grooves 501 are arranged in a longitudinal staggered manner; when the multiple core wires of the spaced core wire group respectively abut on the multiple height surfaces 502, the spaced core wire group forms a staggered core wire group.

[0052] The height surfaces 502 of the height grooves 501 are arranged in a longitudinal staggered manner. In this way, when multiple core wires correspondingly abut against multiple height surfaces 502, the multiple core wires are naturally in a longitudinal staggered manner, so that the multiple core wires are arranged in a longitudinal staggered manner, and the structure is simple.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sorter 600 is provided with a plurality of sorting grooves 601 for accommodating the core wires of the dislocated core wire group. The plurality of sorting grooves 601 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction, and the sorter 600 is located on the outside of the height device 500; when the plurality of core wires of the dislocated core wire group are respectively placed on the height surface 502 of the height groove 501, the sorter 600 moves laterally toward the height device 500 until the plurality of core wires of the dislocated core wire group are placed in the sorting grooves 601 and after being separated from the height grooves 501, the dislocated core wire group forms a sorted core wire group.

[0054] Since multiple core wires are longitudinally dislocated in the height gauge 500, when the sorter 600 moves laterally toward the height gauge 500, since multiple sorting grooves 601 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction, multiple longitudinally dislocated core wires can be transferred to multiple sorting grooves 601, so that multiple core wires are longitudinally sorted.

[0055] After the plurality of core wires are transferred to the sorter 600 , when the plurality of core wires need to be sorted horizontally, the sorter 600 can be directly rotated.

[0056] In this embodiment, the stripper includes two stripping knives 700 that move toward or away from each other and cut the inner sheath of the core wire, and there is a stripping gap 701 between the two stripping knives 700 for clamping the core wire; the two stripping knives 700 are connected to a moving seat. When the two stripping knives 700 clamp the core wire toward each other and cut the inner sheath of the core wire, the moving seat drives the two stripping knives 700 to move away from the core wire, stripping off the inner sheath on the core wire to form a butt joint section.

[0057] The two peeling knives 700 are used to contact the inner sheath of the core wire and cut the inner sheath. Then, the movable seat is moved to separate the cut inner sheath from the core wire. The operation is simple and the structure is also simple.

[0058] In this embodiment, the clamping head includes two clamping heads 200 arranged facing each other. The clamping head 200 has a clamping surface that is straight and clamps the core wire. The clamping surface is covered with an elastic layer 203. The elastic layer 203 extends along the length direction of the clamping surface, and a clamping gap is formed between the two elastic layers 203.

[0059] The chuck 200 is provided with a plurality of elastic pulling strips 204, one end of the pulling strips 204 is fixed on the chuck 200, and the other end of the pulling strips 204 extends the clamping interval to form a wire pulling end 205; along the direction in which the clamping head pulls relative to the core wire, the plurality of pulling strips 204 are arranged in front of the chuck 200, and the plurality of pulling strips 204 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the clamping surface; the clamping surface clamps the plurality of core wires, and in the process of pulling relative to the core wires, the wire pulling ends 205 of the plurality of pulling strips 204 elastically pull the plurality of core wires in advance.

[0060] The core wire is clamped by two elastic layers 203. In this way, the core wire can be elastically clamped without damaging the core wire. Secondly, after the elastic layer 203 clamps the core wire, there is a greater friction between it and the core wire, so that during the pulling process relative to the core wire, the core wire can be better pulled into a straight line.

[0061] In addition, by arranging multiple pulling wires 204, during the process of the clamping head clamping and pulling the core wire, the pulling wire 204 can pull between multiple core wires in advance, adjust and pull the core wire in advance, and then the clamping head clamps and pulls relatively, achieving a double-layer pulling effect, which can more efficiently make the core wire straight.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
