[0002] Industrial wiring harness refers to a group of wires, cables and related components used in the industrial field to connect electrical equipment and transmit electrical energy or signals. They are usually used to ensure the normal operation of electrical systems and accurate transmission of signals. Wiring harnesses usually contain protective layers, such as insulation layers, sheaths or braided layers to protect the wires from physical damage and environmental influences. The wires in the wiring harness are interconnected through components such as terminals, connectors or terminals to ensure the reliability of electrical connections. As a key node for circuit connection and signal connection, the appearance quality of the wiring harness directly affects the transmission of current and the stability of signals, and is related to the safety of the entire circuit system. Once there are defects in the appearance, such as damage, rust, deformation, etc., it may cause circuit failures and even cause safety accidents.

During the inspection, the utility model places multiple wire harnesses on a fixed groove, and then places a fixed mold on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is driven by the driver so that the mounting plate is located below the detection component. The camera takes a photo of the multiple wire harnesses at one time, and then the controller is used to inspect the wire harnesses. This wire harness appearance inspection machine can take photos and inspect multiple wire harnesses at one time, and the shell can prevent external light interference, and there is also an optical compensator to perform light compensation when taking photos.

A servo motor 17 is provided on the side wall of one side of the fixing bar 7. The screw rod 16 is directly connected to the servo motor 17. A moving block 18 matching the screw rod 16 is provided on the outside of the screw rod 16. The screw rod 16 is controlled to rotate and control the lateral movement of the moving block 18.
[0020] The wire harness pushing mechanism also includes a connecting bracket 8, a cylinder 9, and a cylinder connecting plate 10. The connecting bracket 8 is fixed to one side of the wire pushing plate 4 by means of a connection between a stud and a nut. The connecting bracket 8 is arranged close to the wire pushing plate 4, and the cylinder 9 is fixed to the upper end of the detection machine base 1.
[0021] An auxiliary movable track 19 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the detection machine base 1. The auxiliary movable track 19 is arranged directly below the wire pushing plate 4. An auxiliary support plate 20 that moves along the auxiliary movable track 19 is provided above the auxiliary movable track 19. The upper end of the auxiliary support plate 20 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the wire pushing plate 4.
[0022] A wire harness feeding mechanism is also provided at the upper end of the detection machine base 1. The wire harness feeding mechanism itself is driven by a servo motor 17. The wire harness feeding mechanism includes a support column 11, a feeding platform 12, a feeding track 13, a feeding slider 14, and a wire harness support block 15.

[0025] When starting the inspection work, the inspector places the industrial wire harness on top of the wire harness support block 15. Due to the limiting effect of the wire harness support block 15, the position of the industrial wire harness on the wire harness support block 15 will not move during the feeding process.

During this process, the cylinder 9 controls the wire pushing plate 4 to support the right end of the industrial wire harness through the cylinder connecting plate 10. The right end of the industrial wire harness is inserted into the slot of the wire pushing plate 4, and the wire harness ring 3 also comes to the position on one side of the wire harness scanner 2 to support the left end of the industrial wire harness. At this time, the feeding slider 14 drives the wire harness support plate to reset.
[0027] Subsequently, the cylinder 9 continues to control the wire pushing plate 4 to move toward the wire harness scanner 2, and pushes the industrial wire harness into the wire harness scanner 2. The wire harness scanner 2 performs a full-scale scanning modeling of the outside of the industrial wire harness, and transmits the image information to the computer for post-processing.
