[0024] Furthermore, a clamping seat limiting groove 12412 adapted to the clamping seat 1242 is formed on the fixture body 121 , and the clamping seat limiting groove 12412 limits the clamping seat 1242 to prevent the clamping seat 1242 from rotating and affecting the effect of the clamping claw 1243 .

[0025] Furthermore, a clamping block 12413 is provided on the fixture body 121 , and the clamping block 12413 cooperates with the upper surface of the clamping seat 1242 to further limit the clamping seat 1242 on the clamping seat limiting groove 12412 .

[0026] Furthermore, a cable clearance groove 12414 is provided on the holder 1242 for accommodating the cable 41 to facilitate installation.

[0027] There is a preset interval between two adjacent clamping seats 1242 , and this preset interval facilitates the operation of the handle portion 1249 of the clamping claw 1243 .

[0028] In one embodiment, if Fig.10As shown, it also includes a discharge mechanism 125, which overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 1247 to lift the handle portion 1249 of the claw 1243, so that the hook portion 1248 is free from the restriction on the flat cable 41, making it convenient to place or remove the flat cable 41.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 10-11 As shown, the unloading mechanism 125 is located at a workstation where materials need to be taken or discharged, and cooperates with the corresponding wire clamping fixture 12; the unloading mechanism 125 includes a top plate 1251, and a top handle 1252 is formed on the upper part of the top plate 1251. The top handle 1252 moves up and down within a preset interval between two adjacent clamping seats 1242, and the top handle 1252 is located below the handle portion 1249 of the corresponding clamping claw 1243. When the top handle 1252 moves upward, the top handle 1252 lifts the handle portion 1249 of the clamping claw 1243 upward, the first elastic member 1247 is compressed, and the hook portion 1248 rotates with the clamping connection column 1241 as a fulcrum, thereby breaking away from the restraint on the cable 41; The lower part of the top plate 1251 is connected to the movable end of the unloading power unit 1253. The unloading power unit 1253 is a cylinder or a motor, and its structure is the existing technology and is not described here.

[0030] In one embodiment, if Figure 12-13 As shown, the shaping unit 2 includes a shaping support frame 21, on which a first shaping plate 22 and a second shaping plate 23 are movably connected and spaced apart, the first shaping plate 22 and the second shaping plate 23 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first shaping plate 22 and the second shaping plate 23 are close to or far away from each other on the shaping support frame 21; The first shaping plate 22 is connected to the movable end of the first power unit 24 provided on the shaping support frame 21; the first power unit 24 is a cylinder or a motor, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here; The second shaping plate 23 is connected to the movable end of the second power unit 25 arranged on the shaping support frame 21; the second power unit 25 is a cylinder or a motor, which is the prior art and will not be described here; the first shaping plate 22 is operated by the first power unit 24, and the second shaping plate 23 is operated by the second power unit 25, and the first shaping plate 22 and the second shaping plate 23 move relative to each other, and jointly shape the connection end of the cable 41 of the temperature sensor 4 on the jig transfer unit 1 and the pin of the thermistor 42, so as to facilitate the uniformity of subsequent welding.

[0031] Furthermore, the end faces of the first shaping plate 22 and the second shaping plate 23 are respectively formed with shaping bosses 211, and the two shaping bosses 211 move relative to each other and act together on the connection between the connecting end of the cable 41 of the temperature sensor 4 and the pin of the thermistor 42, resulting in a good shaping effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the shaping support frame 21 is connected to a first guide sleeve 26 , and the first shaping plate 22 is connected to a first guide rod 27 slidably connected to the first guide sleeve 26 , so that the first shaping plate 22 moves more smoothly.

[0033] Furthermore, the shaping support frame 21 is connected to a first guide rail 28 , and the second shaping plate 23 is connected to a first slider 29 slidably connected to the first guide rail 28 , so that the second shaping plate 23 moves more smoothly.

[0034] Furthermore, if Fig.12 As shown, the shaping unit 2 also includes a first clamping mechanism 210, which clamps the wiring harness 41 on the wire clamping fixture 12 to prevent the wiring harness 41 from being affected by the shaping force and being offset during shaping; the first clamping mechanism 210 includes a first pressing plate 2101, which is movably connected to the shaping support frame 21; the first pressing plate 2101 is connected to the movable end of the third power unit 2102 provided on the shaping support frame 21; the third power unit 2102 is a cylinder or a motor, which is the prior art and will not be repeated here; the shaping support frame 21 is connected to a second guide sleeve 2103, and the first pressing plate 2101 is connected to a second guide rod 2104 slidably connected to the second guide sleeve 2103, so that the first pressing plate 2101 is more stable during movement.

[0035] In one embodiment, if Figure 14-15As shown, the welding unit 3 includes an X robot arm module 31, a Y robot arm module 32, a Z robot arm module 33 and a welder 34, the fixed part of the Y robot arm module 32 is connected to the movable part of the X robot arm module 31, the fixed part of the Z robot arm module 33 is connected to the movable part of the Y robot arm module 32; the welder 34 is connected to the movable part of the Z robot arm module 33; the structures of the X robot arm module 31, the Y robot arm module 32 and the Z robot arm module 33 are all prior art and will not be described here. The welder 34 is a laser, and its structure is a prior art, which will not be described here. As an example, there are two lasers and two Z robot modules 33, one laser corresponds to one Z robot module 33, which improves the welding efficiency. There are two X robot modules 31, and the fixed part of the second X robot module 31 is connected to the movable part of the first X robot module 31, so that the welding range can be increased. At this time, the fixed part of the Y robot module 32 is connected to the movable part of the second X robot module 31.

[0036] Since the energy stability of the laser's starting and ending points is poor, triggering the laser in front of the welding position and using the stable laser energy in the middle section for welding can effectively improve the laser welding yield rate; The polarizer method is commonly used to achieve continuous welding by laser. Continuous light is emitted through polarization. Due to the problem of polarization angle, the laser energy will be concentrated in the contact area between the pin of the thermistor and the core of the cable, causing the pin of the thermistor to be welded off. The optimal direction is that the laser welding head is located just above the core of the cable to weld, melt the copper core of the cable into liquid, and then cover the pin of the thermistor to achieve the best welding effect. By using a swinging laser welding head, the X-arm module 31, the Y-arm module 32, and the Z-arm module 33 move and set the laser light frequency, which is determined by the welding product. This is a common technical means in this field and will not be repeated. During the movement of the laser welding head driven by the X-arm module 31, the Y-arm module 32, and the Z-arm module 33, the laser is kept vertically downward to output laser energy throughout the process, so that multiple products in the area can be welded at the same time, changing the conventional single-point welding.

[0037] When welding multiple products, the pins of each thermistor may be offset or have different heights, which will cause welding instability and affect the yield rate. In particular, through the primary shaping and secondary correction mechanism, the pins of different thermistors are protected at the same height during welding, ensuring that the energy error of each soldering point is as small as possible, thereby ensuring the yield rate.

[0038] In one embodiment, if Figure 16-Figure 17As shown, the clamping unit 5 clamps the cable 41 on the cable clamping fixture 12 at a preset position to facilitate the welding work of the welding unit 3; the clamping unit 5 includes a first clamping plate 51 and a second clamping plate 52 arranged opposite to each other, and the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 are respectively movably connected to the clamping support frame 53; a clamping power unit 54 is provided on the clamping support frame 53, and the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 are respectively connected to the movable ends of the clamping power unit 54; the clamping power unit 54 is a cylinder or a motor, which is the prior art and is not described here; as an example, in this embodiment, the clamping power unit 54 is a double-headed cylinder, and the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 are respectively connected to the corresponding movable ends of the double-headed cylinder; the clamping power unit 54 drives the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 to move relative to or towards each other; when the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 move relative to each other, the cable 41 is clamped, and when the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 move towards each other, the cable 41 is released.

[0039] Furthermore, the clamping support frame 53 is provided with a longitudinally arranged second guide rail 55 , and the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 are respectively provided with a second slider 56 slidably connected to the second guide rail 55 , so that the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 can run more smoothly.

[0040] Furthermore, a second guide rod 57 is disposed on the first clamping plate 51 , and a second guide sleeve 58 slidably connected to the second guide rod 57 is disposed on the second clamping plate 52 , so as to further enhance the smooth movement between the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 .

[0041] Furthermore, the end surface of the first clamping plate 51 and the end surface of the second clamping plate 52 respectively form a clamping boss 59 , and the two clamping bosses 59 move relative to each other to clamp the cable 41 together.

[0042] Furthermore, clamping limit plates 510 are respectively provided on both sides of the clamping support frame 53, and the clamping limit plates 510 are located between the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 to prevent the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 from clamping excessively and affecting the placement of the cable 41; the clamping limit plate 510 is arranged at the movable end of the limit plate power part 511 connected to the clamping support frame 53, and the limit plate power part 511 is a cylinder or a motor, which is the prior art and will not be repeated here; the thickness of the clamping limit plate 510 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cable 41, so that the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 can clamp the cable 41 without damaging the cable 41.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Fig.18 As shown, a pressing unit 6 is also included, and the pressing unit 6 presses the cable 41 clamped by the clamping unit 5 to further strengthen the straightening of the corresponding cable 41 and prevent it from being deformed.
