Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of measurement technology, and in particular to a wire harness measuring device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of technology, domestic aircraft have begun to take on more and more navigation missions. In the manufacture of aircraft, various electronic equipment need to be connected by a large number of wire harnesses, so the laying of wire harnesses is a huge project.
[0003] There are more than 18,000 clamps in the C919 aircraft. Nearly 4,000 clamps were replaced during the final assembly of the 00007 aircraft. Clamp problems account for 25% of the on-site problems, and subsequent flights require iterative optimization. Usually, workers need to estimate the appropriate clamps before replacing the clamps on the aircraft, and then try to install them with the estimated clamps. If they are suitable, the results will be fed back to the design changes. If they are not suitable, other specifications of clamps will be replaced for trial installation. If the workers do not have suitable clamps, they need to obtain the clamps from other sources. This process is very likely to cause parts to be lost or left over, increasing manufacturing costs. At present, there is no unified clamp judgment standard. Each operator can only judge whether the clamp meets the process specification requirements based on subjective judgment. The specifications of the clamps used in each flight are not uniform, which is not conducive to speeding up batch production and slowing down construction efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness measuring device to solve the technical problem that the existing clamps require operators to judge whether the clamps meet the process specifications only based on subjective judgment, which easily causes the loss or surplus of parts and slows down the construction efficiency.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0038] There are more than 18,000 clamps in the C919 aircraft. Nearly 4,000 clamps were replaced during the final assembly of the 00007 aircraft. Clamp problems account for 25% of the on-site problems, and subsequent flights require iterative optimization. Usually, workers need to estimate the appropriate clamps before replacing the clamps on the aircraft, and then try to install them with the estimated clamps. If they are suitable, the results will be fed back to the design changes. If they are not suitable, other specifications of clamps will be replaced for trial installation. If the workers do not have suitable clamps, they need to obtain the clamps from other sources. This process is very likely to cause parts to be lost or left over, increasing manufacturing costs. At present, there is no unified clamp judgment standard. Each operator can only judge whether the clamp meets the process specification requirements based on subjective judgment. The specifications of the clamps used in each flight are not uniform, which is not conducive to speeding up batch production and slowing down construction efficiency.

The harness measuring device comprises a frame 1, a harness tape 2, a shaft assembly 3, a display screen 4 and a measuring assembly 52. By winding the harness to be measured with the harness tape 2, the measuring assembly 52 can measure the angle at which the shaft assembly 3 is rotated by the harness tape 2, calculate the diameter and circumference of the harness to be measured, and display the matching clamp on the display screen 4, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the operator's work and improves the work efficiency.
[0040] The frame 1 is provided with a wire belt passing hole 11; the rotating shaft assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, one end of the wire belt 2 is connected to the rotating shaft assembly 3, and the other end extends out of the frame 1 through the wire belt passing hole 11, and when one end of the wire belt 2 moves out of the wire belt passing hole 11, it can drive the rotating shaft assembly 3 to rotate; the display screen 4 is connected to the frame 1; the measuring mechanism 5 includes a measuring component 52 and a photoelectric encoder 51, the photoelectric encoder 51 is connected to the rotating shaft assembly 3, the measuring component 52 is connected to the frame 1 and is electrically connected to the display screen 4, and the measuring component 52 can measure the angle of rotation of the photoelectric encoder 51 with the rotating shaft assembly 3 to calculate the diameter and circumference of the measured wiring harness, and display the corresponding clamp model on the display screen 4.
[0041] When measuring the diameter or circumference of the wire harness, the operator pulls out the wire tape 2 from the wire tape through hole 11, and wraps around the wire harness fixed by the required clamp. The pulled out wire tape 2 drives the shaft assembly 3 to rotate, and the measuring assembly 52 can measure the angle at which the photoelectric encoder 51 rotates with the shaft assembly 3 to calculate the distance the wire tape 2 moves. Since the distance the wire tape 2 moves is equal to the circumference of the wire harness, the diameter and circumference of the measured wire harness are calculated by mathematical formulas, and the matching clamp model is matched through the built-in database and displayed on the display screen 4. The operator can directly obtain the matching clamp model by simply wrapping the wire tape 2 around the wire harness, avoiding the operator's repeated attempts to determine the clamp model, avoiding the problem of carrying incomplete clamps, reducing the difficulty of work, reducing the loss or surplus of parts, speeding up the determination of the clamp model, improving the construction efficiency, and greatly facilitating the batch production speed-up of manufacturing production.

In the present embodiment, the circuit board 522 is an ESP32 development board, which is low-cost and comprehensive in functions. While quickly calculating the size, it can store a large amount of clamp model information, and then match the harness size with the clamp to obtain a suitable clamp model, which is displayed on the display screen 4, so that the operator can quickly and accurately obtain the clamp model.
[0043] The wire harness measuring device also includes a power supply 6, which is configured to supply power to the measuring component 52 and the display screen 4, so that the operator can carry the wire harness measuring device to perform operations at any location, avoiding the need to connect wires and reducing the difficulty of work.

The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the hole wall of the first through hole 12, and one end of the rotating shaft 31 extends out of the frame 1 through the first through hole 12. When the measurement is completed, the cable belt 2 can be retracted into the hub 32 by rotating the rotating shaft.

The two limiting portions 322 can limit the wire belt 2 to remain on the circumference of the wire collecting portion 321 to prevent the wire belt 2 from escaping from the range of the wire collecting portion 321.
[0048] The measuring component 52 includes a code reader 521 and a circuit board 522, both of which are connected to the frame 1, the code reader 521 is electrically connected to the circuit board 522, and the circuit board 522 is electrically connected to the display screen 4, the code reader 521 is configured to measure the rotation angle of the photoelectric code disk 51, and the circuit board 522 is configured to calculate the diameter and circumference of the measured wiring harness through the angle data measured by the code reader 521, and display the corresponding clamp model on the display screen 4, so that the operator can quickly determine the corresponding clamp through the display screen 4.
[0049] Specifically, the photoelectric code disk 51 is provided with a plurality of grating holes, the code reader 521 is provided with a groove 5211, the photoelectric code disk 51 extends into the groove 5211, a light source is provided on the groove wall on one side of the groove 5211, and a photosensitive element is provided on the groove wall on the other side of the groove 5211. When the light source passes through the grating hole and illuminates the photosensitive element, the photosensitive element will emit a pulse electrical signal, and the corresponding rotation angle of the photoelectric code disk 51 is obtained according to the pulse signal.
[0050] Specifically, a plurality of grating holes are evenly spaced around the axis of the photoelectric encoder 51 , so that the rotation angle of the photoelectric encoder 51 can be accurately measured to avoid errors.
