Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire processing technology, and in particular to a tube insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] Wire assemblies consist of terminals and wires connected to the terminals. The terminals act as connectors, allowing the wires to be easily connected to other devices or circuit boards, and are widely used in electronic equipment. To provide insulation protection for the wires and enhance their insulation strength, the wires need to be sheathed.

[0003] Currently, the process of inserting conduits into tubing mostly involves the operator holding the wire with one hand and using the other hand to slip the tubing over the wire one by one. However, since the insertion of conduits relies on manual labor, it is not conducive to improving the efficiency of automated production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a sheathing device that enables automatic sheathing of wires to improve production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a tubing insertion device, which includes a fixture, a first driving assembly, and a clamping mechanism. The fixture is used to clamp a wire. The first driving assembly and the fixture are spaced apart. The clamping mechanism includes a bracket and a plurality of first clamping assemblies. The bracket is tractively connected to the first driving assembly, and the plurality of first clamping assemblies are connected to the bracket along the length direction of the bracket. Each first clamping assembly clamps a tube. Under the drive of the first driving assembly, the bracket drives the plurality of first clamping assemblies to move along the axial direction of the wire, so as to respectively fit the tubes clamped by the plurality of first clamping assemblies onto various parts of the wire.

[0006] In one embodiment, the fixture includes a support base and a plurality of second clamping assemblies. The plurality of second clamping assemblies are spaced apart on the support base along the same axial direction to perform movable clamping on various parts of the conductor. When the plurality of second clamping assemblies move along the axial direction of the conductor, the plurality of second clamping assemblies release their clamping on the conductor in sequence, so that the plurality of first clamping assemblies can respectively fit the tube body onto the conductor.

[0007] In one embodiment, a plurality of storage holes are provided on one surface of the support base at intervals along the axial direction. A telescopic hole is respectively recessed on the opposite side walls of the storage holes. Each second clamping assembly includes a first wire clamping member and a second wire clamping member. The first wire clamping member of a second clamping assembly is movably disposed along the depth direction of one of the telescopic holes, and the second wire clamping member is movably disposed along the depth direction of the other telescopic hole, so that the first wire clamping member and the second wire clamping member of a second clamping assembly can move toward each other or away from each other to clamp or release the wire.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second clamping assembly further includes a plurality of first elastic elements and a plurality of second elastic elements. One end of a first elastic element is connected to the wall of one of the telescopic holes, and the other end is connected to a first wire clamping member, so as to drive the first wire clamping member to reciprocate along the depth direction of the telescopic hole. One end of a second elastic element is connected to the wall of another telescopic hole, and the other end is connected to a second wire clamping member, so as to drive the second wire clamping member to reciprocate along the depth direction relative to the other telescopic hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support base has a through-hole parallel to the arrangement direction of the plurality of second clamping components, and the through-hole is connected to the plurality of storage holes; the clamping mechanism further includes a clamping release mechanism, which includes a second driving component and a pressing component. The second driving component is disposed on one side of the through-hole and is driven and connected to the pressing component to drive the pressing component to translate within the through-hole, so that the pressing component sequentially abuts against the first and second wire clamping components of the plurality of second clamping components, so that the first and second wire clamping components move in a direction away from each other.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a transmission seat, a first pressing member, and a second pressing member. The transmission seat is connected to the output end of the second driving assembly to translate along the through direction of the transmission hole. The first pressing member includes a first opening and closing driving member and two first pressing parts. The first pressing member is disposed on one side of the transmission seat. The two first pressing parts are opened and closed under the drive of the first opening and closing driving member, and in the open state, they movably abut against the first and second clamping parts of at least one second clamping assembly. The second pressing member includes a second opening and closing driving member and two second pressing parts. The second opening and closing driving member is disposed on one side of the transmission seat and on the side of the first opening and closing driving member opposite to the translation direction of the transmission seat. The two second pressing parts are opened and closed under the drive of the second opening and closing driving member, and in the open state, they movably abut against the first and second clamping parts of at least one second clamping assembly.

[0011] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes a guide member connected to the side of the pressing assembly facing the transmission hole. The guide member has a tapered guide portion formed along the translational direction of the pressing assembly. When the pressing assembly translates toward the through direction of the transmission hole, the guide portion movably abuts against the first and second clamping members of the second clamping assembly.

[0012] In one embodiment, a plurality of the first clamping components are movably connected to the bracket to adjust the spacing between each pair of adjacent first clamping components, such that the plurality of first clamping components fit the plurality of tubes onto the wire at a predetermined spacing.

[0013] In one embodiment, the tube-threading device further includes a winding assembly, a pulling assembly, and a cutting assembly. The winding assembly and the fixture are spaced apart. The winding assembly has a material roll wound around it. The pulling assembly and the winding assembly are spaced apart. The pulling assembly is used to pull the unwinding end of the material roll to drive the winding assembly to unwind and feed the material, and multiple first clamping assemblies clamp the unwinding material roll. Adjacent first clamping assemblies form a slit. The cutting assembly and the pulling assembly are spaced apart. The cutting assembly has a cutter. The cutter passes through the slit and cuts the material roll clamped by multiple first clamping assemblies into multiple tubes, so that each first clamping assembly clamps one tube.

[0014] In the technical solution of this invention, firstly, a fixture is used to clamp and fix the wire to prevent unnecessary displacement. Next, multiple first clamping components pre-clamp a tube and are arranged along the length of the bracket. When the device is started, a first driving component begins to operate, maintaining a certain distance from the fixture to ensure sufficient space for the bracket and the first clamping components to move. The first driving component drives all the first clamping components to move smoothly along the axial direction of the wire via the bracket. During this process, each first clamping component sequentially slides its clamped tube onto the wire. As the bracket advances gradually, multiple first clamping components respectively place multiple tubes onto different parts of the wire.

[0015] Therefore, the tubing insertion device of this invention can automatically insert multiple tubing bodies onto the conductor at once, improving the speed and efficiency of tubing insertion, reducing labor costs, and ensuring that each tubing body is installed accurately due to the high consistency and accuracy of mechanical operation. This improves product consistency and quality and effectively reduces the probability of human error. In addition, the automated equipment also improves the safety of the working environment, reduces material waste, and can flexibly adjust production capacity according to production needs.

[0034] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0037] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0038] Wire assemblies consist of terminals and wires connected to the terminals. The terminals act as connectors, allowing the wires to be easily connected to other devices or circuit boards, and are widely used in electronic equipment. To provide insulation protection for the wires and enhance their insulation strength, the wires need to be sheathed.

[0039] Currently, the process of inserting conduits into tubing mostly involves the operator holding the wire with one hand and using the other hand to slip the tubing over the wire one by one. However, since the insertion of conduits relies on manual labor, it is not conducive to improving the efficiency of automated production.

[0040] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a sheathing device 100, which aims to automatically sheath the conductor 763 to improve production efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 16In one embodiment of the present invention, the tube insertion device 100 includes a jig 70, a first drive assembly 15, and a clamping mechanism 10. The jig 70 is used to clamp the wire 763. The first drive assembly 15 and the jig 70 are spaced apart. The clamping mechanism 10 includes a bracket 1 and a plurality of first clamping assemblies 3. The bracket 1 is throttle-connected to the first drive assembly 15. The plurality of first clamping assemblies 3 are connected to the bracket 1 along the length direction of the bracket 1. One first clamping assembly 3 clamps a tube body 765.

[0042] Driven by the first driving component 15, the bracket 1 drives multiple first clamping components 3 to move along the axial direction of the conductor 763, so as to respectively sleeve the tube 765 clamped by the multiple first clamping components 3 onto each part of the conductor 763.

[0043] Among them, reference Figure 16 The wire assembly 76 may include a terminal 761 and two wires 763 connected to the terminal 761. In order to protect the wires 763, a plurality of tubes 765 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two wires 763 at intervals along the same axial direction.

[0044] The bracket 1 may include a transmission plate 11 and a support plate 13 bent and connected to the transmission plate 11. The support plate 13 has a support surface 131, and multiple clamping components are slidably disposed on the support surface 131. The first drive component 15 may include a first translation module 151 and a second translation module 153 to drive the translational movement of the bracket 1.

[0045] In the technical solution of this invention, firstly, the fixture 70 is used to clamp and fix the wire 763 to prevent unnecessary displacement of the wire 763. Next, multiple first clamping components 3 pre-clamp a tube 765 and are arranged along the length of the bracket 1. When the device is started, the first drive component 15 begins to work, maintaining a certain distance from the fixture 70 to ensure sufficient space for the bracket 1 and the first clamping components 3 to move. The first drive component 15 drives all the first clamping components 3 to move smoothly along the axial direction of the wire 763 via the bracket 1. During this process, each first clamping component 3 sequentially places the clamped tube 765 onto the wire 763. As the bracket 1 advances gradually, the multiple first clamping components 3 respectively place multiple tubes 765 onto different parts of the wire 763.

[0046] Therefore, the tubing insertion device 100 of this invention can automatically insert multiple tubing bodies 765 onto the wire 763 at once, improving the speed and efficiency of tubing insertion, reducing labor costs, and ensuring that each tubing body 765 is installed accurately due to the high consistency and accuracy of mechanical operation. This improves product consistency and quality and effectively reduces the probability of human error. In addition, the automated equipment improves the safety of the working environment, reduces material waste, and can flexibly adjust production capacity according to production needs.

[0047] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The sleeve-insertion device 100 also includes a turntable assembly 95, and a fixture 70 is set on the turntable assembly 95. After the wire 763 completes the sleeve-insertion operation, the position of the fixture 70 can be switched by rotating the turntable assembly 95, so as to further realize other processing steps of the wire 763 and further meet the needs of production.

[0048] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixture 70 includes a support base 71 and a plurality of second clamping components 73. The plurality of second clamping components 73 are arranged at intervals along the same axial direction on the support base 71 for movably clamping various parts of the wire 763. When the plurality of second clamping components 73 move along the axial direction of the wire 763, the plurality of second clamping components 73 release their clamping on the wire 763 in sequence, so that the plurality of first clamping components 3 can respectively sleeve the tube body 765 on the wire 763.

[0049] In this embodiment, while the second clamping component 73 releases the wire 763, the first clamping component 3 places the tube 765 onto the wire 763, allowing the first clamping component 3 to move continuously forward. This achieves synchronous operation and continuous production, improving efficiency. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the movement of the second clamping component 73, it is ensured that each tube 765 can be accurately placed at the predetermined position on the wire 763.

[0050] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of storage holes 711 are provided on one surface of the support base 71 at intervals along the axial direction, and a telescopic hole 713 is respectively recessed on the opposite side walls of the storage holes 711. Each second clamping component 73 includes a first wire clamping member 731 and a second wire clamping member 733.

[0051] The first clamping member 731 of the second clamping assembly 73 is movably disposed along the depth direction of one of the telescopic holes 713, and the second clamping member 733 is movably disposed along the depth direction relative to the other telescopic hole 713, so that the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of the second clamping assembly 73 can move toward each other or away to clamp or release the wire 763.

[0052] In this embodiment, the receiving hole 711 provides precise positioning, enabling the second clamping assembly 73 to be accurately fixed on the support base 71, ensuring the consistency and repeatability of each clamping and releasing action. The first wire clamping member 731 and the second wire clamping member 733 move within the telescopic hole 713 respectively, providing a stable clamping force and preventing the wire 763 from slipping off during clamping.

[0053] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second clamping component 73 further includes a plurality of first elastic elements and a plurality of second elastic elements. One end of a first elastic element is connected to the wall of a telescopic hole 713, and the other end is connected to a first wire clamping member 731, so as to drive the first wire clamping member 731 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the telescopic hole 713.

[0054] One end of the second elastic member is connected to the wall of the other telescopic hole 713, and the other end is connected to a second wire clamp 733, so as to drive the second wire clamp 733 to reciprocate along the depth direction relative to the other telescopic hole 713.

[0055] In this embodiment, the elastic element design allows the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 to automatically reset after releasing the wire 763, reducing the time and complexity of manual adjustment. Furthermore, the constant elastic force provided by the elastic element ensures that the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 always apply appropriate force when clamping the wire 763, avoiding unstable clamping or damage to the wire 763 due to insufficient or excessive force.

[0056] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the support base 71 is provided with a transmission hole 715 through it parallel to the arrangement direction of the plurality of second clamping components 73, and the transmission hole 715 is connected to the plurality of storage holes 711.

[0057] The clamping mechanism 10 further includes a clamping release mechanism 80, which includes a second driving component 81 and a pressing component 83. The second driving component 81 is disposed on one side of the transmission hole 715 and is driven and connected to the pressing component 83 to drive the pressing component 83 to translate within the transmission hole 715, so that the pressing component 83 sequentially abuts against the first wire clamping member 731 and the second wire clamping member 733 of a plurality of second clamping components 73, so that the first wire clamping member 731 and the second wire clamping member 733 move in a direction away from each other.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pressing component 83, which moves through the transmission hole 715 and translates, sequentially abuts against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of a plurality of second clamping components 73. This causes the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 to move away from each other, thereby realizing the sequential release of various parts of the wire 763. This allows multiple first clamping components 3 to sleeve the tube body 765 onto the various released parts of the wire 763, which helps to improve the consistency and accuracy of the tube insertion action.

[0059] Furthermore, as the pressure component 83 moves, the first wire clamping member 731 and the second wire clamping member 733, after the pressure component 83 has loosened, can automatically resume clamping the wire 763 under the rebound force of the first elastic member and the second elastic member, respectively, which helps to improve the efficiency of the sleeve insertion operation.

[0060] Optionally, the first wire clamping member 731 has a first drive wheel 7311, and the second wire clamping member 733 has a second drive wheel 7331. As the opposing sides of the pressing assembly 83 roll into contact with the first drive wheel 7311 and the second drive wheel 7331 respectively, the pressure wear between the components is reduced.

[0061] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing component 83 includes a transmission seat 831, a first pressing member 833 and a second pressing member 835. The transmission seat 831 is connected to the output end of the second driving component 81 so as to translate along the through direction of the transmission hole 715.

[0062] The first pressing member 833 includes a first opening and closing driving member 8331 and two first pressing parts 8333. The first pressing member 833 is disposed on one side of the transmission seat 831. The two first pressing parts 8333 are opened and closed under the drive of the first opening and closing driving member 8331, and in the open state, they are in motion abutting against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of at least one second clamping assembly 73.

[0063] The second pressing member 835 includes a second opening and closing driving member 8351 and two second pressing parts 8353. The second opening and closing driving member 8351 is disposed on one side of the transmission seat 831 and on the side of the first opening and closing driving member 8331 opposite to the translation direction of the transmission seat 831. The two second pressing parts 8353 are opened and closed under the drive of the second opening and closing driving member 8351, and in the open state, they are movable abutting against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of at least one second clamping assembly 73.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the two first pressing parts 8333 and the two second pressing parts 8353 are in the open state, they are used to release various parts of the conductor 763. Then, after releasing various parts of the conductor 763, the second opening and closing drive member 8351 drives the two second pressing parts 8353 to close, so that the end of the conductor 763 is clamped due to the elastic reset of the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733. Then, the first opening and closing drive member 8331 drives the two first pressing parts 8333 to close, so that the middle part of the conductor 763 is clamped due to the elastic reset of the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733. Therefore, this solution first resets and clamps the end of conductor 763 to provide stable clamping at both ends of conductor 763. After the sleeve is inserted, the middle part of conductor 763 is reset and clamped. Thus, while ensuring stable clamping of conductor 763, it is beneficial to improve the stability of sleeve insertion and increase production efficiency.

[0065] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 80 further includes a guide pusher 85, which is connected to the side of the pressing component 83 facing the transmission hole 715. The guide pusher 85 has a tapered guide pusher portion 851 formed along the translational direction of the pressing component 83. When the pressing component 83 translates toward the through direction of the transmission hole 715, the guide pusher portion 851 movably abuts against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of the second clamping component 73.

[0066] In this embodiment, the guide member 85 of the loosening mechanism 80 has a reduced guide portion 851 for moving against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 to achieve a smooth contact transition, thereby reducing the impact between components and improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0067] Optionally, the guide component 85 has a bullet-shaped structure.

[0068] Reference Figures 10 to 13In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first clamping components 3 are movably connected to the bracket 1 to adjust the spacing between each pair of adjacent first clamping components 3, so that the plurality of first clamping components 3 fit the plurality of tubes 765 onto the wires 763 at a predetermined spacing.

[0069] In this embodiment, the spacing between each pair of adjacent first clamping components 3 is adjusted so that the multiple first clamping components 3 can fit multiple tubes 765 onto the wires 763 at predetermined intervals. This adjustment function allows the device to adapt to tubes 765 of different lengths and different fitting requirements.

[0070] Optionally, the relative distance between each of the first clamping components can be adjusted by a sliding drive method using a drive motor and a threaded slider.

[0071] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 10 includes a bracket 1, a first clamping component 3, an elastic component 4, and a pushing drive component 5. Multiple first clamping components 3 are provided, and each of the multiple first clamping components 3 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 along its length direction. One first clamping component 3 clamps a tube body 765. The elastic component 4 has multiple elastic segments, and one elastic segment is connected between two adjacent first clamping components 3, so that each pair of adjacent first clamping components 3 reciprocates in a direction that moves closer or further away from each other. The pushing drive component 5 is connected to the bracket 1 and has a telescopic portion 53. The telescopic portion 53 is used to push one of the first clamping components 3 to slide, thereby causing multiple first clamping components 3 to move closer together.

[0072] In the technical solution of this invention, multiple first clamping components 3 are slidably connected to the bracket 1 along the length direction of the bracket 1 and are used to clamp multiple insulating tubes 765. Multiple elastic segments of the elastic component 4 are respectively connected to two adjacent first clamping components 3, allowing them to reciprocate in directions of approaching or moving away from each other. A push-drive member 5 is connected to the bracket 1, and its telescopic portion 53 can push a first clamping component 3 to slide, thereby causing multiple first clamping components 3 to move closer together and compress within their respective elastic segments. When the telescopic portion 53 of the push-drive member 5 retracts, the multiple first clamping components 3, driven by the rebound force of their respective elastic segments, thus achieve mutual spacing and expansion.

[0073] Therefore, the clamping mechanism 10 of the present invention can clamp multiple insulating tubes 765 and unfold them according to a fixed spacing value for use on the wire 763. This is beneficial to improving the efficiency of automated production, ensuring product consistency and production quality, and reducing labor costs.

[0074] Optionally, since each elastic segment is used to adjust the distance between two adjacent first clamping components 3, if the lengths of each elastic segment are equal, it is equidistant clamping; if the lengths of each elastic segment are different, it is unequal clamping. By controlling the length of each elastic segment, the clamping distance of the clamping mechanism 10 on different tubes 765 can be adjusted, so as to further adjust the distance between each insulating tube 765 sleeved on the conductor 763.

[0075] Optionally, the clamping mechanism 10 also includes a plurality of stroke sensors 65, which are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the first clamping components 3 on the bracket 1 to detect the position of each of the first clamping components 3. For example, the position of each of the first clamping components 3 is detected to ensure that they are in place before proceeding with subsequent construction actions, thereby helping to ensure a normal production process.

[0076] Reference Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first clamping components 3 are respectively provided with interconnected guide holes 3111. The elastic component 4 includes a guide rod 41 and a spacing spring. The guide rod 41 passes through the guide hole 3111 of each first clamping component 3. The spacing spring has a plurality of elastic segments, each elastic segment being sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 41.

[0077] In this embodiment, the guide rod 41 passes through the guide holes 3111 of all the first clamping components 3, ensuring the linear movement of the first clamping components 3 during sliding, reducing friction and deviation, and improving the stability and reliability of the system. Furthermore, the spacing spring consists of multiple elastic segments, each sleeved on the guide rod 41, providing a uniform elastic restoring force to ensure that all the first clamping components 3 can return to their initial position when no external force is applied, thereby achieving synchronous movement.

[0078] Reference Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 10 further includes a plurality of limiting members 61, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket 1 to limit the sliding of each of the first clamping components 3.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the multiple first clamping components 3 are unfolded under the rebound force of each elastic segment, the multiple limiting members 61 limit each first clamping component 3, thereby adjusting the relative spacing of each first clamping component 3 and controlling the spacing of the insulating tubes 765 clamped by each first clamping component 3. This facilitates the placement of each insulating tube 765 onto the wire 763 at a predetermined spacing to meet the spacing requirements when inserting multiple sleeves, and effectively prevents the first clamping components 3 from exceeding the predetermined range during sliding, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the first clamping components 3 is always within a safe range, thereby improving the stability of the system.

[0080] Reference Figure 12 In one embodiment of the present invention, each of the first clamping components 3 includes a sliding transmission member 31, a clamping drive member 33, a first clamping jaw 35, and a second clamping jaw 36. The sliding transmission member 31 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 and is used for being pushed by the push drive member 5. The clamping drive member 33 is connected to the sliding transmission member 31. The first clamping jaw 35 and the second clamping jaw 36 are respectively drivenly connected to the clamping drive member 33 to open and close. The first clamping jaw 35 forms a first clamping portion 351, and the second clamping jaw 36 forms a second clamping portion 361. The first clamping portion 351 and the second clamping portion 361 close together to form a guide hole 391 for clamping the tube 765 into a predetermined shape.

[0081] In this embodiment, the clamping drive 33 can precisely control the opening and closing actions of the first gripper 35 and the second gripper 36, thereby achieving reliable clamping of materials and avoiding damage caused by insecure or excessive clamping. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the guide hole 391 formed by the closing of the first clamping part 351 and the second clamping part 361 can be adaptively designed, allowing the first clamping assembly 3 to clamp different materials into a predetermined shape to further meet production needs. For example, the guide hole 391 can be designed as an ellipse to clamp the insulating tube 765 into an elliptical shape, facilitating the placement of the insulating tube 765 onto the wire 763.

[0082] Optionally, the sliding transmission component 31 may include a push block 311 and a mounting hole. The push block 311 is provided with a guide hole 3111. The push block 311 and the mounting block 313 are respectively connected to the first slider 633. The mounting block 313 can support and connect to the mounting seat 331 of the clamping drive component 33.

[0083] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly 3 also includes a first stop 371 and a first return spring 373, a second stop and a second return spring 383. The first stop 371 is connected to the mounting block 313. One end of the first return spring 373 is connected to the first stop 371 and the other end is connected to the first clamping member to achieve elastic clamping of the first clamping member. The second stop 381 is connected to the first slider 633. One end of the second return spring 383 is connected to the second stop 381 and the other end is connected to the second clamping member to achieve elastic clamping of the second clamping member.

[0084] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly 3 also includes a calibration block 315, which is connected to the push block 311 for positioning and calibrating the installation of other components of the first clamping assembly 3.

[0085] Reference Figure 12 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping part 351 is provided with a limiting hole 3511 parallel to the clamping direction, and the second clamping part 361 is provided with a limiting part 3611 protruding on one side of the first clamping part 351. When the first clamping part 351 and the second clamping part 361 move in the direction of closing, the limiting part 3611 is inserted and limited in the limiting hole 3511.

[0086] In this embodiment, the cooperation of the limiting hole 3511 and the limiting part 3611 ensures the consistency of the positions of the first clamping part 351 and the second clamping part 361 when clamping the tube body 765, avoiding inaccurate clamping due to positional deviation. Furthermore, the design of the limiting hole 3511 and the limiting part 3611 prevents the tube body 765 from shifting or sliding during clamping, which is particularly important when clamping slender or soft materials.

[0087] Reference Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 is provided with a clearance hole 133 perpendicular to the translational direction of the first clamping assembly 3. The first gripper 35 is spaced apart from the clearance hole 133. The second gripper 36 is disposed on the side opposite to the clamping drive member 33 through the clearance hole 133 and is movably disposed perpendicular to the depth direction of the clearance hole 133. And / or, the first gripper 35 and the second gripper 36 are slidably connected to the sliding transmission member 31 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding transmission member 31.

[0088] In this embodiment, by providing clearance holes 133 on the bracket 1, a portion of the structure of the second gripper 36 can pass through the bracket 1 without having to add additional complex structures to the bracket 1. This simplifies the design of the bracket 1 and reduces unnecessary components.

[0089] Optionally, the first gripper 35 and the second gripper 36 can be slidably connected perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding transmission member 31, allowing the grippers to be laterally adjusted when clamping materials to accommodate materials of different sizes. Furthermore, the sliding connection design allows for fine-tuning of the grippers during clamping, ensuring the accuracy and stability of material clamping. This design prevents material offset or slippage during clamping. Further, the clamping mechanism 10 also includes a second guide rail 3131 and two second sliders 3133. The second guide rail 3131 is mounted on the mounting block 313 of the sliding transmission member 31, and the two second sliders 3133 are slidably connected to the second guide rail 3131. The first gripper 35 is connected to one second slider 3133, and the second gripper 36 is connected to the other second slider 3133.

[0090] Reference Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 10 further includes a first guide rail 631 and a plurality of first sliders 633. The first guide rail 631 is disposed on the bracket 1 and extends along the length direction of the bracket 1. The plurality of first sliders 633 are slidably connected to the first guide rail 631 respectively, and a first clamping component 3 is connected to a first slider 633.

[0091] In this embodiment, the design of the first guide rail 631 and the first slider 633 ensures that the movement of the first clamping assembly 3 on the bracket 1 is more stable and precise. The sliding of the first slider 633 on the first guide rail 631 reduces vibration and deviation during movement. In addition, the design of the first slider 633 makes it easy to disassemble and adjust the first clamping assembly 3, facilitating maintenance and repair.

[0092] Reference Figure 13 In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first guide rails 631 and first sliders 633 are provided perpendicular to the sliding direction. The plurality of first guide rails 631 are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first sliders 633 on the bracket 1, and a first slider 633 is slidably connected to a first guide rail 631.

[0093] In this embodiment, the design of multiple first guide rails 631 and first sliders 633 ensures that the movement of the first clamping assembly 3 on the bracket 1 is more stable and precise. The sliding of the first slider 633 on the multiple first guide rails 631 reduces vibration and deviation during movement.

[0094] Reference Figure 11In one embodiment of the present invention, the push drive 5 includes a drive cylinder 51 and a push block 55. The drive cylinder 51 is connected to the bracket 1 and has the telescopic part 53. The push block 55 is disposed on the side of the telescopic part 53 facing the first clamping assembly 3 for pushing the first clamping assembly 3.

[0095] In this embodiment, the drive cylinder 51 can provide precise pushing force, and the movement distance and speed of the first clamping assembly 3 can be accurately controlled by the extension and retraction of the telescopic part 53. In addition, the design of the push block 55 enables the pushing force to be evenly transmitted to the first clamping assembly 3, ensuring that the first clamping assembly 3 remains stable during movement and reducing shaking and deviation.

[0096] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the tube insertion device 100 further includes a winding assembly 91, a pulling assembly 92, and a cutting assembly 93. The winding assembly 91 and the fixture 70 are spaced apart. The winding assembly 91 is wound with a material roll 917. The pulling assembly 92 and the winding assembly 91 are spaced apart. The pulling assembly 92 is used to pull the unwinding end of the material roll 917 to drive the winding assembly 91 to unwind and feed the material. Multiple first clamping assemblies 3 clamp the unwinding material roll 917. Two adjacent first clamping assemblies 3 surround each other to form a slit 393.

[0097] The cutting component 93 and the pulling component 92 are spaced apart. The cutting component 93 has a cutter 935 that passes through the slit 393 and cuts the roll 917 held by multiple first clamping components 3 into multiple tubes 765, so that each first clamping component 3 holds one tube 765.

[0098] In this embodiment, the tube-threading device 100 provides tube material 765 through the winding assembly 91, and the pulling assembly 92 pulls the unwinding end of the material roll 917, driving the winding assembly 91 to unwind and feed the material. The cutter 935 in the cutting assembly 93 passes through the slit 393 formed by two adjacent first clamping assemblies 3, cutting the unwound material roll 917 into multiple tubes 765, so that each first clamping assembly 3 clamps one cut tube 765.

[0099] Optionally, the coil assembly 91 includes a support 911, a reel 913, a guide 9141, a positioning member 9351, a feeding member 915, and a guiding member 916. The reel 913 is mounted on the support 911 and has a coil 917 wound around it. The guide 9141 is used to adjust the guidance and tension of the coil 917. The positioning member 9351 is used to feed the coil 917 through and is equipped with sensors for detecting the presence and position of the coil 917. The feeding member 915 includes a drive motor 9151, a drive wheel set 9153, and a driven wheel set 9155. The drive motor 9151 drives the drive wheel set 9153 to rotate, and the drive wheel set 9153 engages with and drives the driven wheel set 9155 to rotate, thereby squeezing the coil 917 into the guide cylinder 9161 of the guiding member 916 and further through it for the pulling assembly 92 to pull.

[0100] Optionally, the material pulling assembly 92 includes a third drive assembly 921 and two pull claws 922. Under the drive of the third drive assembly 921, the two pull claws 922 pull and move one end of the material roll 917 to drive the material roll assembly 91 to unload the material.

[0101] Optionally, the cutting assembly 93 includes a cutting cylinder 931, a knife holder 933, and a cutter 935. The knife holder 933 extends and retracts under the drive of the cutting cylinder 931. The number of cutters 935 is provided as multiple. The multiple cutters 935 are arranged at intervals along the same axial direction on the knife holder 933 to cut the material roll 917 jointly held by multiple clamping assemblies into multiple insulating tubes 765.

[0102] Optionally, the sheathing device 100 also includes a wire clamping mechanism 75, which has two movable opening and closing claws 751. After the wire 763 is threaded through the sheath, the claws are used to clamp the tail of the wire 763 to prevent the tail of the wire 763 from overlapping due to the sheathing process, thereby further ensuring the production quality of the product.

[0103] Reference Figure 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the tube insertion device 100 further includes a cleaning component, which is disposed on one side of the fixture 70 and has a brush. Under the drive of the first driving component 15, the bracket 1 drives the plurality of tubes 765 held by the plurality of first clamping components 3 to move relative to the brush, so as to clean the outer surface of the plurality of tubes 765.

[0104] In this embodiment, under the drive of the first drive assembly 15, the bracket 1 drives the multiple tubes 765 held by the multiple first clamping assemblies 3 to move relative to the brush, thereby cleaning the outer surfaces of the multiple tubes 765. Therefore, after the material roll 917 is cut into multiple tubes 765, the residue after cutting the material roll 917 can be cleaned to ensure the subsequent normal tube threading operation.

[0105] In summary, in the tube insertion device 100 of this embodiment of the invention, firstly, a plurality of second clamping components 73 are arranged at intervals on the support base 71 along the axial direction of the conductor 763, for clamping various parts of the conductor 763, to prevent unnecessary displacement of the conductor 763 during operation.

[0106] The winding assembly 91 has a winding 917 on its reel 913. The pulling assembly 92 pulls the unwinding end of the winding 917, causing the winding assembly 91 to unwind and feed the material. The cutter 935 in the cutting assembly 93 passes through the slit 393 formed by two adjacent first clamping assemblies 3, cutting the unwound winding 917 into multiple tubes 765. Each first clamping assembly 3 clamps one cut tube 765. The multiple first clamping assemblies 3 are slidably connected to the bracket 1 along the length of the bracket 1. By adjusting the spacing between each pair of adjacent first clamping assemblies 3, the multiple first clamping assemblies 3 can fit the multiple tubes 765 onto the conductor 763 at a predetermined interval.

[0107] The second drive assembly 81 of the release mechanism 80 drives the pressing assembly 83 to translate along the transmission hole 715. The bullet-shaped design of the guide member 85 ensures a smooth pushing process. The pressing assembly 83 sequentially abuts against the first clamping member 731 and the second clamping member 733 of the second clamping assembly 73, causing them to move away from each other, thereby releasing the clamping of the wire 763. During the translation of the bullet-shaped part of the pressing assembly 83, the first clamping assembly 3 also translates synchronously under the drive of the first drive assembly 15, driving multiple first clamping assemblies 3 to move along the axial direction of the wire 763, sequentially placing multiple tubes 765 on different positions of the wire 763.

[0108] The cleaning component is located on one side of the fixture 70 and has a brush. Driven by the first drive assembly 15, the bracket 1 moves multiple tubes 765 held by the multiple first clamping assemblies 3 relative to the brush, cleaning the outer surfaces of the tubes 765 to ensure they are clean. After the wire 763 is threaded through the sheath, the two movable opening and closing claws 751 of the wire clamping mechanism 75 clamp the tail of the wire 763 away from the terminal 761, preventing the tail of the wire 763 from overlapping and crossing, further ensuring product quality.

[0109] Therefore, the tubing insertion equipment 100 of this invention significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual intervention and labor costs through fully automated tubing insertion. Precise cutting and spacing adjustment ensure consistent length and accurate placement of each tube 765, improving product quality. The equipment is highly flexible, adaptable to wires 763 and tubes 765 of different lengths and specifications, and its modular design facilitates replacement and maintenance. The cleaning component 17 ensures that the cut tubes 765 are cleaned before tubing insertion, guaranteeing their cleanliness and further ensuring production quality.
