AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the heat shrinking and heat vulcanization processing methods for branch wire harness sheaths have problems such as poor wire harness roundness, easy cracking at the joint, and limited specifications of branch shrinking sleeves. Moreover, the heat vulcanization method is only suitable for small branch wire harnesses and cannot process wire harnesses with longer branches, larger wire harness diameters, and poorer temperature resistance.
