[0038] The method for automatically color-sorting and sorting wire core wires comprises the following steps:

[0039] 1) Provide a wire 100, the wire 100 includes an outer layer and a plurality of core wires of different colors and wrapped in the outer layer, the core wire has a butt joint section 102 exposed outside the outer layer, and the plurality of butt joint sections 102 are arranged in a three-dimensional staggered manner; the outer surface of a single core wire is wrapped with an inner layer, and the colors of the inner layers of the plurality of core wires are different, so that the colors of the plurality of core wires are different; when the outer layer at the end of the wire 100 is peeled off, the core wire is exposed at the end of the wire 100 to form a butt joint section 102;

[0040] 2) Flattening the plurality of docking sections 102 so that the plurality of docking sections 102 are arranged side by side in sequence, and straightening the plurality of docking sections 102 into a straight line;

[0041] At the beginning, the multiple docking segments 102 are arranged in a spatially staggered manner in space, and the multiple docking segments 102 are flattened so as to be in the same horizontal plane, and then the docking segments 102 are straightened into a straight line by straightening;

[0042] 3) Separate and arrange adjacent butt joint sections 102 to form a separation interval between adjacent butt joint sections 102, and multiple butt joint sections 102 form an interval core wire group 703;

[0043] 4) placing the spacer core wire group 703 in the height gauge 500, and the height gauge 500 places the plurality of docking sections 102 in different longitudinal positions, so that the plurality of docking sections 102 are staggered in the longitudinal direction, forming a staggered core wire group 704; through the height gauge 500, the plurality of docking sections 102 are staggered in the longitudinal direction, presenting a high and low arrangement;

[0044] 5) Provide a sorter 600, wherein a plurality of sorting slots 601 are provided in the sorter 600, and the plurality of sorting slots 601 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction; the sorter 600 moves laterally toward the offset core wire group 704, and places the plurality of longitudinally offset docking segments 102 in the plurality of sorting slots 601 respectively, so that the plurality of docking segments 102 are sorted by color.

[0045] The above-mentioned automatic color separation and sorting method for wire core wires is achieved by flattening and straightening multiple docking segments 102 so that the docking segments 102 are in a straight line shape, and then the adjacent docking segments 102 are separated and arranged to form an interval core wire group 703. According to the core wires of different colors, the multiple docking segments 102 are longitudinally displaced using a height gauge 500, and then the multiple docking segments 102 are respectively placed in multiple sorting grooves 601 using a sorter 600, so as to achieve a sequential sorting effect of the multiple docking segments 102, which is easy to operate and has high working efficiency.

[0046] In this embodiment, in step 1), a wire 100 of a set length is fed using a feeding structure, and processing sections 101 are formed at both ends of the wire 100. The middle part of the wire 100 is arranged in a curved manner, and the two processing sections 101 are clamped respectively and arranged at intervals, and a plurality of the docking sections 102 are formed in the processing section 101.

[0047] According to actual needs, the length of the wire 100 can be changed, and it can be directly cut automatically by a cutting knife. The wire 100 is arranged in a curved shape, which can facilitate the simultaneous processing of the two processing sections 101.

[0048] In this embodiment, in step 1), the outer layer on the processing section 101 is peeled off by a peeler to form a docking section 102 exposed outside the outer layer. In this way, the multiple docking sections 102 on the two processing sections 101 can be color-sorted and sorted synchronously.

[0049] In this embodiment, in step 2), a docking segment 102 of a certain color is selected as a set docking segment 102, an initial position of the set docking segment 102 is identified by a camera, and the set docking segment 102 is rotated to a set position to form a color separation core wire group 701;

[0050] The color separation core wire group 701 is placed in a flattening structure, which flattens the multiple docking sections 102 so that the multiple docking sections 102 are in the same plane to form a flattened core wire group 702, and the docking sections 102 are set to be located at the side edge of the flattened core wire group 702.

[0051] According to the needs of color separation and sorting of multiple docking segments 102, a set docking segment 102 is selected, and after the camera identifies the initial position of the set docking segment 102, the set docking segment 102 is rotated to the set position. In this way, when the color separation core wire group 701 is flattened, in the formed flat core wire group 702, the set docking segment 102 can be located at the side edge of the flat core wire group 702 to meet the needs of subsequent color separation and sorting.

[0052] In this embodiment, in step 2), the flattening structure includes a base 202, a flattening groove is provided in the base 202, and a flattening head 201 that moves longitudinally is provided at the top of the flattening groove;

[0053] The color separation core wire group 701 is placed in the flattening groove, and the docking section 102 is set to abut against the bottom of the flattening groove. The flattening head 201 is embedded into the flattening groove downward, and the color separation core wire group 701 is pressed from top to bottom, so that multiple docking sections 102 of the color separation core wire group 701 are all abutted against the bottom of the flattening groove, and multiple docking sections 102 are arranged side by side in sequence to form a flattened core wire group 702, and the docking sections 102 are set to be located at the side edge of the flattened core wire group 702.

[0054] When the color separation core wire group 701 is placed in the flattening groove, the docking section 102 is set to abut against the bottom of the flattening groove. In this way, when the color separation core wire group 701 is flattened by the flattening head 201, it can be ensured that the docking section 102 is set to be located at the side edge of the flattened core wire group 702.

[0055] In this embodiment, in step 2), the clamping head 300 is used to flexibly clamp the multiple docking segments 102 of the flat core wire group 702, and the clamping head 300 is pulled linearly relative to the multiple docking segments 102 until the clamping head 300 is pulled relatively to the end of the docking segment 102, and the multiple docking segments 102 are pulled into a straight line.

[0056] The clamping head 300 clamps the plurality of docking segments 102 and moves relative to the docking segments 102 , so that the plurality of docking segments 102 can be pulled into a straight line more efficiently.

[0057] In this embodiment, in step 2), the clamping head 300 movably clamps the multiple docking segments 102, and during the process of linearly pulling relative to the multiple docking segments 102, the clamping head 300 synchronously swings back and forth longitudinally until the clamping head 300 is relatively pulled to the end of the docking segment 102, and then the clamping head 300 stops swinging.

[0058] During the pulling process, the clamping head 300 synchronously swings back and forth longitudinally, so that the docking section 102 can be further adjusted linearly to ensure that the docking section 102 is pulled into a straight line more quickly and efficiently.

[0059] In this embodiment, in step 3), after the clamping head 300 clamps the plurality of docking segments 102 and pulls the plurality of docking segments 102 linearly to the ends of the docking segments 102, the clamping head 300 stops the longitudinal reciprocating swing and the clamping head 300 oscillates transversely a set number of times;

[0060] After the clamping head 300 oscillates back and forth a set number of times, the clamping head 300 and the plurality of docking sections 102 are clamped relatively fixedly, and after the clamping head 300 applies a set axial pulling force to the plurality of docking sections 102 , the clamping head 300 releases the clamping of the plurality of docking sections 102 .

[0061] When the clamping head 300 is pulled to the end of the docking section 102, the clamping head 300 is swung back and forth horizontally to adjust the docking section 102 laterally. The clamping head 300 is used to adjust the docking section 102 longitudinally during the pulling process, thereby achieving multiple longitudinal and transverse adjustments of the docking section 102, and then applying axial pulling force to the docking section 102, thereby ensuring that the docking section 102 is pulled in a straight line.

[0062] In this embodiment, in step 3), a wire splitter 400 is provided, and the wire splitter 400 has a plurality of longitudinally arranged wire splitting lines 401, and a wire splitting groove 402 is provided between adjacent wire splitting lines 401; the wire splitting lines 401 are inserted between adjacent docking sections 102, and the plurality of docking sections 102 are respectively placed in the plurality of wire splitting grooves 402, and the plurality of docking sections 102 are moved away from the wire splitter 400 until the docking sections 102 are separated from the wire splitting grooves 402, and the plurality of docking sections 102 form an interval core wire group 703.

[0063] By inserting multiple branching wires 401 into adjacent docking segments 102, adjacent docking segments 102 can be separated and set at intervals to form separation intervals, ensuring that the docking segments 102 in the interval core wire group 703 maintain a uniform interval, which facilitates the subsequent sorting of multiple docking segments 102.

[0064] In this embodiment, in step 4), after the spaced core wire group 703 is placed in the height gauge 500, the color distribution of the plurality of docking segments 102 is identified by a camera, and the height gauge 500 raises the docking segments 102 according to the sorting order of the plurality of docking segments 102, and arranges the plurality of docking segments 102 in a longitudinal staggered manner to form a staggered core wire group 704;

[0065] The height gauge 500 is provided with a plurality of height grooves 501 which are longitudinally staggered. The plurality of height grooves 501 are arranged in a lateral interval, and the bottoms of the height grooves 501 are longitudinally staggered. Thus, when the plurality of docking sections 102 are placed at the bottoms of the plurality of height grooves 501, the plurality of docking sections 102 are longitudinally staggered.

[0066] In step 5), after the multiple docking segments 102 of the offset core wire group 704 are placed in the sorting groove 601, the multiple docking segments 102 are separated from the height device 500, and the sorter 600 is rotated so that the multiple docking segments 102 are arranged side by side horizontally to form a color-sorted sequenced core wire group 705.

[0067] According to the requirements of color sorting of the core wires, the camera is used to identify the colors of the multiple docking segments 102, so that the multiple docking segments 102 can be placed at different heights in the longitudinal direction to maintain longitudinal misalignment. Then, the sorter 600 is moved toward the misaligned core wire group 704 to place the multiple longitudinally misaligned docking segments 102 in the multiple cable slots, thereby achieving color sorting of the multiple docking segments 102.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
