[0055] In related technologies, wire assemblies typically include connecting terminals and wires. The terminals act as connectors, allowing the wires to be easily connected to other devices or circuit boards. During the production of wire assemblies, tubing is inserted through the wires to enhance insulation protection, and the wires are further bent into a predetermined shape to facilitate assembly of the wire assembly into the corresponding electronic equipment.

[0056] Currently, in the production and preparation of wire components, some processes such as threading and bending of wire components need to be carried out manually by operators, which is not conducive to improving the production efficiency of wire components.

[0057] This invention proposes a wire-making device 100.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire-making device 100 includes:

[0059] The transmission device 10 includes a movable fixture 112 for clamping the wire 210;

[0060] The feeding device 20 is used to feed the wire 210 into the fixture 112;

[0061] The tube-feeding device 30 is used to feed the tube body 220 onto the fixture 112 and to fit the tube body 220 onto the wire 210; and

[0062] The forming device 40 is used to drive the wire 210 to bend and form.

[0063] The wire-making equipment 100 of the present invention includes a transmission device 10, a feeding device 20, a tube-threading device 30, and a forming device 40. The transmission device 10 can sequentially transfer the jig 112 to the feeding device 20, the tube-threading device 30, and the forming device 40, so that the wire 210 can be fed to the jig 112 first, and then the jig 112 can be used to thread and bend the wire 210 to obtain a bent wire assembly 200. This can realize the automated production of the wire assembly 200 and improve the production efficiency of the wire assembly 200.

[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The feeding device 20 includes:

[0065] Feeding mechanism 21 is used to transfer the wire 210 to the fixture 112 so that the fixture 112 initially clamps the wire 210; and

[0066] The track mechanism 22, at least a portion of which is openably and closably held around the periphery of the wire 210, is used to move along the length of the wire 210 so that the wire 210 is taut in the fixture 112.

[0067] The feeding mechanism 21 can be movably disposed above the fixture 112 of the transmission device 10. The feeding device 20 can first transfer the wire 210 to the feeding mechanism 21 through the wire sorting and picking mechanism, and then transfer the wire 210 to the fixture 112 through the feeding mechanism 21.

[0068] In some embodiments, the wire 210 feeding and picking mechanism is located on one side of the transmission device 10, including a base 201, a transmission component 202, a vibration component 203, and a picking component 204. The transmission component 202 is located on the base 201 of the tube 220 and has a transmission channel for conveying the wire 210. The vibration component 203 is located on the base 201 of the tube 220 and adjacent to the transmission component 202. The vibration component 203 has a vibration space communicating with the transmission channel of the tube 220 and is used to feed the wire 210 within the vibration space of the tube 220. A vibrating dispersion tube 220 material handling component 204 is disposed on the tube 220 base 201. The tube 220 material handling component 204 is provided with grippers, which are used to grip the tube 220 wire 210 in the vibration space of the tube 220. A first identification component is disposed on the tube 220 base 201 and is used to identify the front and back of the tube 220 wire 210 gripped by the tube 220 grippers. The tube 220 material handling component 204 drives the tube 220 grippers to grip the tube 220 wire 210 from the vibration space of the tube 220 to the tube 220 first identification component for identification, and then grips the tube 220 wire 210 to the next mechanism.

[0069] With this configuration, the wire 210 can be transported to the vibration component 203 via the transmission component 202. The vibration component 203 then vibrates to evenly disperse the wire 210, preventing its accumulation and tangling. Simultaneously, the gripper of the material handling component 204 can pick up the wire 210 and place it to the first identification component for identification of its orientation. The orientation of the wire 210 is then adjusted and transferred to the next mechanism. This achieves full automation of the wire 210 process from transmission to dispersion, identification, and loading, which helps improve the production efficiency of the wire making equipment 100 to the wire component 200 and reduces labor costs.

[0070] The vibration assembly 203 may include a vibration base disposed on the base 201 of the tube body 220 and located between the first identification component and the transmission component 202 of the tube body 220; a first vibration drive component of the tube body 220 is disposed on the vibration base of the tube body 220; a vibration disk of the tube body 220 is disposed at the output end of the first vibration drive component, and the side of the vibration disk facing away from the vibration base of the tube body 220 forms a vibration space of the tube body 220; the first vibration drive component of the tube body 220 drives the vibration disk of the tube body 220 to vibrate and disperse the wire 210 of the tube body 220. The first vibration drive component can generate vibrations of different frequencies according to the needs of use to drive the vibration disk to vibrate, thereby uniformly dispersing the wire 210 through the vibration of the vibration disk.

[0071] The vibration assembly 203 may further include a second vibration drive and a vibration slide. The second vibration drive is disposed on the base 201 of the tube body 220 and located between the vibrating plate of the tube body 220 and the transmission assembly 202 of the tube body 220. The vibration slide of the tube body 220 is disposed at the output end of the second vibration drive of the tube body 220. The vibration slide of the tube body 220 forms a transition channel along the first horizontal direction. The transition channel of the tube body 220 connects the transmission channel of the tube body 220 and the vibration space of the tube body 220. The transition channel of the tube body 220 is used for the initial vibration of the wire 210 of the tube body 220. The side of the vibration slide of the tube body 220 near the transmission assembly 202 is higher than the side of the vibration slide of the tube body 220 near the vibrating plate of the tube body 220.

[0072] After the wire 210 is transported to the top of the vibrating slide, the second vibration drive unit drives the vibrating slide to vibrate, which disperses the wire 210. Under the action of gravity, the wire 210 slides along the vibrating slide and falls into the vibrating plate, thereby ensuring the dispersing effect of the wire 210.

[0073] The transmission component may include a transmission belt and a baffle. The transmission belt is connected to the output end of the transmission drive component of the tube 220. The transmission belt of the tube 220 forms a transmission channel along the extension direction of the transmission belt of the tube 220. The baffle of the tube 220 is provided on the periphery of the transmission belt of the tube 220, and a notch is formed on the side near the vibration component 203 of the tube 220 for the wire 210 to flow out of the tube 220, so as to limit the movement direction of the wire 210 and prevent the wire 210 from slipping to the outside of the transmission belt due to inertia or external force during the transmission process.

[0074] Please see Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, the feeding mechanism 21 includes:

[0075] A first clamping assembly 211 is used to clamp one end of the wire 210; and

[0076] A wire-holding assembly 212 is openably and closably held around the periphery of the wire 210 and is used to move away from the clamping assembly along the length of the wire 210.

[0077] In this embodiment, one end of the wire 210 is connected to a terminal 230. The first clamping component 211 can clamp and cooperate with the terminal 230. Of course, the first clamping component 211 can also be directly clamped to the end of the wire 210, which is not limited here.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first clamping component 211 may be rotatably configured around the extension direction of the wire 210 to rotate the wire 210 to a specified orientation, thereby making the feeding mechanism 21 suitable for adjusting the orientation of the wire 210 with positive and negative characteristics. The wire holding component 212 can limit the wire 210 by holding it around its periphery, and the wire holding component 212 can move along the extension direction of the wire 210 to complete the straightening, thereby achieving the initial straightening of the wire 210 so that the straightened wire 210 can be placed into the fixture 112.

[0079] Please see Figure 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, the fixture 112 includes a support base 112a and a plurality of clamping members 112b. The support base 112a is used to support the wire 210, and the plurality of clamping members 112b are arranged at intervals along a straight line to clamp the wire 210 in sequence along the extension direction of the wire 210.

[0080] The track mechanism 22 is provided with a track space that limits the wire 210 in the radial direction. The track space is used to move along the extension direction of the wire 210. The fixture 112 drives a plurality of clamping members 112b to release or clamp the wire 210 in sequence, so that the track space passes through the plurality of clamping members 112b in sequence.

[0081] In this process, by sequentially arranging several clamping members 112b along a straight direction on the support base 112a of the fixture 112, the fixture 112 can clamp the wire 210 along its extension direction, thereby fixing the initially straightened wire 210 in the fixture 112. The threading mechanism 22 can drive the threading space to move along the extension direction of the wire 210, and the fixture 112 will drive the corresponding clamping members 112b to loosen or tighten the wire 210 in a timely manner, ensuring that the threading space can smoothly pass through each clamping member 112b, thereby completing the further threading process, so that the wire 210 placed in the fixture 112 can be arranged as follows: Figure 11a The state shown is taut.

[0082] In some embodiments, the track mechanism 22 is provided with grippers that can be movably arranged along the extension direction of the wire 210. The grippers are provided with track space. By driving the grippers to open or close, the wire 210 can be allowed to enter the track space and be limited by the grippers.

[0083] Please see Figures 6 to 8 In an embodiment of the present invention, the tube-piercing device 30 includes:

[0084] Clamping mechanism 31, used to clamp the tube body 220; and

[0085] The driving mechanism 32 is connected to the clamping mechanism 31 and is used to drive the clamping mechanism 31 to move the tube 220 along the axial direction of the wire 210 so as to sleeve the tube 220 on the wire 210.

[0086] The clamping mechanism 31 is used to smoothly move the tube 220 along the extension direction of the wire 210, so as to fit the clamped tube 220 onto the wire 210. As the driving mechanism 32 drives the clamping mechanism 31 forward, the tube 220 can be fitted onto the corresponding part of the wire 210. The clamping mechanism 31 can be used to clamp a single tube 220 or to clamp multiple tubes 220, so as to automatically fit multiple tubes 220 onto the wire 210 at one time.

[0087] It should be noted that when the tube-threading device 30 performs the tube-threading step, the fixture 112 can drive the corresponding clamping member 112b to loosen or clamp the wire 210 in a timely manner, so as to ensure that the tube body 220 held by the clamping mechanism 31 can smoothly pass through each clamping member 112b and reach the preset position on the wire 210.

[0088] Please see Figures 6 to 8 In an embodiment of the present invention, the tube body 220 is provided with a plurality of components, and the clamping mechanism 31 includes a plurality of second clamping components 311. The plurality of second clamping components 311 are arranged sequentially along a straight line, and each clamping component is used to clamp one tube body 220.

[0089] Several clamping components are respectively connected to the driving mechanism 32 for moving along the axial direction of the wire 210 under the drive of the driving mechanism 32, so as to drive several tubes 220 to be respectively sleeved on each part of the wire 210.

[0090] Furthermore, an elastic component can be connected between two adjacent second clamping components 311. By connecting multiple elastic components to adjacent second clamping components 311 respectively, the multiple second clamping components 311 can reciprocate in directions of approaching or moving away from each other, thereby adjusting the spacing between the multiple second clamping components 311 in the clamping mechanism 31. Optionally, since each elastic component is used to adjust the spacing between two adjacent second clamping components 311, if the lengths of all elastic components are equal, the multiple second clamping components 311 are clamped at equal intervals; if the lengths of the elastic components are different, the multiple second clamping components 311 are clamped at unequal intervals. With this arrangement, multiple tubes 220 can be unfolded according to a fixed spacing value for different positions on the wire 210.

[0091] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 31 also includes multiple stroke sensors, which are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the second clamping assembly 311 to detect the position of each second clamping assembly 311.

[0092] Please see Figures 9a to 9b as well as Figures 11a to 11c In an embodiment of the present invention, the wire 210 includes at least two bent portions 210a, and the at least two bent portions 210a are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the wire 210. The forming device 40 includes a forming mechanism, which is rotatably disposed relative to the wire 210 and is used to clamp and cooperate with at least a portion of the bent portions 210a to drive one of the bent portions 210a to rotate relative to the other bent portion 210a.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present invention, the forming mechanism is provided in a plurality of ways, and the plurality of forming mechanisms are arranged sequentially along the transmission path of the fixture 112 for sequentially bending the bending portion 210a located at the end of the wire 210 and the bending portion 210a located in the middle of the wire 210.

[0094] In one embodiment, the wire 210 includes two bent portions 210a located at the end of the wire assembly 200, and the forming device 40 includes a first forming mechanism 41a for bending the end of the wire assembly 200. Specifically, initially, the fixture 112 clamps the end of the wire 210, at which time the end portion of the wire 210 to be bent is in a straight state. Then, the first forming mechanism 41a can clamp the portion 210a to be bent located between the two bent portions 210a on the wire 210 through its grippers, and drive the portion 210a to be bent to rotate around the vertical rotation axis 413. As the first forming mechanism 41a rotates, the portion of the wire 210 it clamps will move accordingly and bend relative to the portion of the wire 210 fixed by the fixture 112, so as to obtain the desired result. Figure 11b The initial bending state is shown.

[0095] The bending angle of the wire 210 depends on the rotation amplitude of the rotating shaft 413 of the first forming mechanism 41a. When the predetermined bending angle is reached, the rotating shaft 413 stops rotating, and the grippers of the first forming mechanism 41a release the wire 210, thereby completing the first automated bending of the wire 210.

[0096] Furthermore, the wire 210 may also include two bending portions 210a located in the middle of the wire assembly 200, and the forming device 40 includes a second forming mechanism 41b for bending the middle portion of the wire assembly 200. First, the fixture 112 clamps the middle portion of the wire 210, at which point the middle portion of the wire 210 to be bent is in a straight state. Next, the second forming mechanism 41b clamps the wire 210 with grippers, and under the rotation of its rotating shaft 413, the portion of the wire held by the grippers is bent relative to the portion held by the fixture 112. The rotation angle can be precisely set by controlling the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 413 to ensure that the angle of each bend is consistent. When the predetermined bending angle is reached, the grippers release the wire, and the fixture 112 also opens, completing the second bending action to obtain the desired result. Figure 11c The initial bending state is shown.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, one end of the wire 210 is connected to a terminal 230, and the forming device 40 further includes a fixing mechanism 42, which is used to clamp the end of the wire 210 away from the terminal 230. With this configuration, when the wire 210 comprises several parallel conductors, the fixing mechanism 42 can press and clamp the tails of the conductors, thus keeping the conductors parallel.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, the forming mechanism includes a lifting drive member 411 for driving the bending portion 210a to rotate in a vertical plane; this configuration enables the wire 210 to bend in the vertical direction. In another embodiment of the present invention, the forming mechanism includes a horizontal drive member 412 for driving the bending portion 210a to rotate in a horizontal plane; this configuration enables the wire 210 to bend in the horizontal direction.

[0099] By enabling the forming mechanism to bend the wire 210 in both vertical and horizontal directions, the bending dimension of the wire 210 can be increased, allowing wires 210 with complex shapes to be processed by the wire-making equipment 100.

[0100] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the wire-making equipment 100 further includes a feeding device 50 for transferring the bent wire 210 out of the transmission mechanism 11.

[0101] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission device 10 further includes a heating mechanism 12, which is aligned with the fixture 112 and is used to heat the wire 210 and the tube 220 inside the fixture 112 so that the wire 210 is heated and formed.

[0102] Specifically, the heating mechanism 12 has a heating tube disposed toward the fixture 112. The heating tube is used to blow air to heat the wire 210 and tube 220 inside the fixture 112 so that the wire assembly 200 can be heat-formed.

[0103] It is understandable that heating the wire assembly 200 during the wire making process by the heating mechanism 12 helps to soften the material of the wire assembly 200, reduce the hardness of the wire 210, and make it easier to form according to the predetermined shape, thereby helping to ensure the forming quality of the wire assembly 200.

[0104] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 11 includes:

[0105] A platform 111 is rotatably arranged around its central axis. The conveying mechanism 11, the feeding mechanism, the tube-threading mechanism, and the forming mechanism are sequentially spaced around the platform 111 in a circumferential direction.

[0106] At least one of the fixtures 112 is disposed around the periphery of the stage 111 for rotating around the central axis with the stage 111.
