[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7 , an electrical wiring harness and plug installation device shown in the figure comprises a mounting seat 1, a notch is provided at the top of the mounting seat 1, a cavity is provided in the mounting seat 1, a guide plate 2 is fixed in the notch, a baffle 3 is fixed on the top of the guide plate 2, mounting openings 4 are provided on both sides of the notch, a transmission part 5 for the wires to abut against each other is installed in the mounting opening 4, a through opening 6 connected to the cavity is provided in the notch, a guide part 7 is slidably inserted in the through opening 6; and a driving member 8 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 1, the driving member 8 is used to drive the transmission part 5 to rotate; and a lower pressing plate 9, a pressing block is fixed at the bottom of the lower pressing plate 9, and adjusting rods 10 for driving the guide part 7 to move upward are fixed at both ends of the lower pressing plate 9, and an adjusting opening 11 for moving the adjusting rod 10 is provided on the mounting seat 1;

[0033] In this solution, the designed guide part 7 allows the wire to move upward and abut against the baffle 3, and cooperates with the transmission part 5 to drive the wire to move inward. With the help of the shape of the guide plate 2, the wire is separated outward and plugged into the two terminal pins on the plug respectively. Finally, the pressing block on the lower pressing plate 9 moves downward to press the terminal, thereby completing the installation between the wire and the plug. During the whole process, the direction of the wire is controlled by the guide part 7 and the transmission part 5, so that the wire can be accurately inserted into the plug to avoid docking errors.

[0034] It should be noted that: a person holds the wiring harness and aligns the two wires inside it with the guide plate 2 and inserts them. The front end width of the guide plate 2 is small, so it is easy to separate the two wires. Subsequently, with the help of the guide part 7 and the transmission part 5, the wires can be automatically transmitted.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 4 - Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The guide portion 7 includes a guide pad 12, a slide rod 13 fixed to the inner wall of the cavity is slidably inserted in the guide pad 12, a tension spring 14 fixed to the guide pad 12 and the inner wall of the cavity is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod 13, and a seesaw 15 is rotatably installed in the cavity, one end of the seesaw 15 is in contact with the bottom of the guide pad 12, and the other end is adapted to the adjustment rod 10;

[0036] For further information, see Figure 5 - Figure 8 The conveying part 5 includes a conveying wheel 16, a rotating rod 17 is fixed in the conveying wheel 16, a moving opening 18 is opened in the installation opening 4, the rotating rod 17 is slidably inserted in the moving opening 18, and an elastic component 19 is installed in the moving opening 18, and the rotating rod 17 is pushed outward by the elastic component 19;

[0037] The elastic component 19 includes a push block 20 slidably inserted in the moving port 18 and a sleeve column 21 rotatably sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 17. A push spring 22 is fixed between the push block 20 and the sleeve column 21. Through the action of the push spring 22, there is an elastic force between the push block 20 and the sleeve column 21. When the wire just enters between the transmission wheel 16 and the guide plate 2, the transmission wheel 16 can move in the moving port 18, so that the wire can enter smoothly. The action of the elastic force makes the transmission wheel 16 more tightly against the outside of the wire, and the transmission effect is better.

[0038] Also, see Figure 4 and Fig. 9 The driving member 8 includes two driving motors 23 fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 1 through a motor frame, two driving rods 24 are rotatably installed in the cavity, the output ends of the two driving motors 23 are respectively fixed to the two driving rods 24, and driving wheels 25 are fixed to the outsides of the two driving rods 24. Two transmission wheels 27 are rotatably installed in the cavity, and the two transmission wheels 27 are respectively meshed with the outsides of the two driving wheels 25 and are sleeved with synchronous belts 28. A driving wheel 29 meshing with the transmission wheel 27 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 17.

[0039] The principle of using the transmission part 5 and the guide part 7 to specify the transmission of the wires: first, the personnel moves the wire harness to one side of the mounting base 1, and distributes the two wires inside it at both ends of the guide plate 2 and inserts them. After insertion, the driving motor 23 in the driving member 8 rotates, so that the driving rod 24 rotates, and under the action of the driving wheel 25, the two driving rods 24 rotate synchronously, and under the action of the synchronous belt 28, the two transmission wheels 27 rotate synchronously. At this time, the transmission wheel 16 and the rotating rod 17 under the action of the elastic component 19 are in an outward pushing state, so that the driving wheel 29 fixed at the bottom of the rotating rod 17 is engaged with the transmission wheel 27, so that the rotation of the driving wheel 29 can drive the rotation of the transmission wheel 27.

[0040] It should be noted that in order to improve the transmission effect of the conductor, a guide wheel 33 is rotatably installed in the guide plate 2, and the guide wheel 33 is fixed to the drive rod 24. Through the mutual cooperation of the guide wheel 33 and the transmission wheel 27, the two sides of the conductor are synchronously transmitted, thereby improving the transmission effect.

[0041] For further information, see 5 and Figure 6 In order to limit the up and down movement range of the guide pad 12, a limit plate 36 is fixed at the bottom of the guide pad 12, a limit opening 34 is opened on the through opening 6, and a limit block 35 matched with the limit opening 34 is fixed on the top of the guide pad 12, so that the guide pad 12 can only move within a certain range.

[0042] In this solution, a process for installing an electrical wiring harness and a plug includes the following steps:

[0043] S1. Cut the wire harness into equal lengths and remove the insulation layer at the outer end of the wire harness;

[0044] S2, using a conveying device to convey the plug connector to the outside of the mounting seat 1;

[0045] S3, the staff puts the wire harness outside the mounting seat 1, and conveys the wire to the pin terminal of the plug connector through the guide part 7 and the conveying part 5;

[0046] S4. Use the lower pressing plate 9 to press down, driving the pressing block to perform cold pressing treatment on the pin terminals of the plug connector.

[0047] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 6 - Figure 8 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, and the difference lies in that a mounting groove 30 and related components are added to increase the pushing force of the elastic component 19 on the rotating rod 17.

[0048] Specifically, a mutually connected installation groove 30 is provided between the movable port 18 and the adjustment port 11, a U-shaped frame 31 is slidably inserted in the installation groove 30, a magnetic plate 32 is fixed in the installation groove 30, the magnetic plate 32 and one end of the U-shaped frame 31 are magnetically attracted to each other, driving the U-shaped frame 31 to move toward the adjustment port 11, and chamfers adapted to the bottom of the adjustment rod 10 and the pushing block 20 are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 31.

[0049] In this solution, when the adjusting rod 10 moves downward, the U-shaped frame 31 will be driven to move inside the moving opening 18, and one end of the U-shaped frame 31 will abut against the pushing block 20, so that the pushing block 20 moves toward the sleeve column 21, thereby squeezing and pushing the spring 22, so that the rotating rod 17 and the transmission wheel 16 can move stably outward. After the subsequent adjustment rod 10 moves upward, the suction force generated by the magnetic plate 32 causes the U-shaped frame 31 to move toward the adjustment opening 11, so that it no longer contacts the pushing block 20, thereby facilitating the insertion of the wire.

[0050] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment further describes other embodiments, and the difference lies in the development of one specific implementation of the adjustment rod 10.

[0051] Specifically, the adjustment rod 10 includes an inner rod 37 and an outer rod 38, the inner rod 37 and the outer rod 38 are plugged into each other, an extrusion spring 26 is fixed between the inner rod 37 and the outer rod 38, the inner rod 37 and the adjustment port 11 are plugged into each other, and a chamfer is provided at the bottom of the inner rod 37. The adjustment rod 10 designed in this scheme has a certain elasticity. After it is pressed down, it can enter the adjustment port 11 through the inner rod 37 and lift the seesaw 15, so that the guide pad 12 moves up, and the pressure block does not squeeze the pin end in the plug, and after the wire guidance is completed, it continues to move down through the lower pressure plate 9, driving the pressure block to cold press the end.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
