The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0050] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a method for automatically threading a cable through a sleeve, which is used for processing a cable 9000. The cable 9000 includes at least one colored wire 9100, and the cable 9000 is carried by a carrier. The method for automatically threading a cable through a sleeve includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Obtain and convey the carrier carrying the cable 9000.

[0052] Step 2: During the conveyance of the carrier, selectively position the carrier, thread a sleeve member onto each colored wire 9100 one by one, and heat-shrink the sleeve member onto the colored wire 9100.

[0053] Step 3: After the operation of threading the colored wire 9100 through the sleeve is completed, take out and release the cable 9000.

[0054] Step 4: Return the empty carrier for reuse.

[0055] This method for automatically threading a cable through a sleeve realizes an automated assembly line operation for the cable 9000 to be sleeved by automatically obtaining and conveying the carrier carrying the cable 9000 and threading and heat-shrinking the sleeve on the colored wire 9100 during the conveyance of the carrier. This avoids the cumbersome process of frequently replacing and picking up the cable 9000 in manual operations, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of sleeving the cable 9000. By selectively positioning the carrier during the conveyance of the carrier, it is possible to ensure that each colored wire 9100 is accurately sleeved with a sleeve member and the sleeve member is evenly heat-shrunk on the colored wire 9100, reducing the influence of human factors on the sleeving and heat-shrinking operations and improving the quality stability of the cable 9000 sleeving process. Compared with manual operation, it can more accurately complete the sleeving and heat-shrinking steps, ensuring that the sleeving effect and heat-shrinking quality of each colored wire 9100 are basically the same, and guaranteeing the quality stability of the cable 9000 sleeving process. After the operation of sleeving the cable 9000 is completed, returning the empty carrier for reuse replaces the conventional manual recovery scheme, eliminating the need for frequent manual operations, reducing the workload of operators, lowering labor costs, and at the same time forming a closed loop for the entire cable 9000 sleeving process, realizing continuous production of the cable 9000 sleeving, shortening the production time, facilitating production management and continuous processing, and improving the economy of the entire production process.

[0056] As Figures 1 to 13As shown in the figure, this embodiment also provides a cable automatic sleeving system, which is applicable to the above-mentioned cable automatic sleeving method. The cable automatic sleeving system includes a bottom plate 3000, a conveying mechanism 5000, a processing mechanism, and a throwing unit 6000 arranged on the bottom plate 3000; the conveying mechanism 5000 is configured to drive the carrier to move in a cycle; the processing mechanism is configured to selectively position the carrier, and sleeve each color wire 9100 with a sleeve and heat-shrink the sleeve on the color wire 9100; the throwing unit 6000 is configured to take out and release the cable 9000 after the color wire 9100 completes the sleeving operation.

[0057] Specifically, the cycle trajectory that the conveying mechanism 5000 drives the carrier through is from the initial position to the return position and then back to the initial position.

[0058] The cable automatic sleeving system drives the carrier to move in a cycle through the conveying mechanism 5000, so that the carrier can continuously transport the cable 9000 in place for sleeving operations. After processing, it can automatically return to the initial position, realizing the timely recovery of the carrier, thus forming a complete automated cycle processing system, providing a strong logistics guarantee for subsequent batch processing, improving the continuity and automation degree of the cable 9000 sleeving process, enhancing the operation convenience and work efficiency, and realizing the efficient processing and precise operation of the cable 9000. Moreover, the design of the above-mentioned carrier cycle trajectory makes the equipment layout more compact, improves the space utilization rate, not only improves the transmission efficiency of the cable 9000 and the carrier, reduces the transmission distance and time, and helps to accurately execute the material taking operation during the transmission process. The processing mechanism can selectively position the carrier, sleeve each color wire 9100 with a sleeve and heat-shrink it, ensuring that during the cyclic movement of the carrier, the cable 9000 can be accurately sleeved and heat-shrunk without manual intervention in positioning and operating the pipe threading and heat shrinking processes, ensuring the processing accuracy and consistency, and improving the coherence and efficiency of the production process. After the color wire 9100 completes the sleeving operation, the throwing unit 6000 automatically takes out and releases the cable 9000, realizing the automatic blanking of the processed cable 9000, making the handling of the cable 9000 more accurate and fast, reducing the manual operation links, reducing the time and workload of manual material taking, improving the automation degree of the production process, and further improving the automation degree and efficiency of processing. The above-mentioned various mechanisms cooperate with each other to realize the fully automated operation of cable automatic sleeving and reduce manual intervention.

[0059] Before step one, the following steps are also included: arranging the cables 9000 at the feeding position to adjust the relative position relationship of all the color wires 9100.

[0060] Step 1 includes the following detailed steps: First, obtain the vehicle from the initial position, and then assemble the cable 9000 on the vehicle; move the vehicle carrying the cable 9000 to the initial position on the vehicle conveying mechanism 5000, and use the vehicle conveying mechanism 5000 to convey the vehicle.

[0061] The above steps adjust the relative positional relationship of the color wires 9100 through the wire arrangement step, achieving precise arrangement of the cable 9000, optimizing the structure of the cable 9000, ensuring the accurate relative positional relationship between the color wires 9100, and guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of the subsequent sleeve threading operation.

[0062] In this embodiment, the existing manual sleeve threading solution is changed to automatic sleeve threading, and Step 1 of the operations of loading the vehicle outside the wire and separating the cable 9000 is completed manually.

[0063] The above-mentioned threading of the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100 one by one and heat-shrinking the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100 includes the following detailed steps: First, sleeved the sleeve on the color wire 9100, then smooth the sleeve so that the sleeve covers the side of the color wire 9100, and then control the sleeve to closely fit the side of the color wire 9100.

[0064] The above improvements are mainly based on mechanism operations, improving the accuracy of threading the sleeve on the color wire 9100, production efficiency, and product quality stability, improving the arrangement efficiency of the color wire 9100, increasing the degree of automation of the production process, having a high product yield, helping to improve UPH and streamline the workforce, and having broad application prospects and economic benefits.

[0065] Specifically, the sleeve is a heat-shrinkable tube. The above design can be widely applied to the field of threading heat-shrinkable tubes, such as in the manufacturing process of products such as mobile phone charging cables, watch charging cables, bracelet charging cables, tablet computer charging cables, all cables of automobiles, and component cables in industries such as medical.

[0066] In this embodiment, the processing mechanism includes the same number of sleeve threading modules 4000 as the number of color wires 9100, and each sleeve threading module 4000 is configured to thread the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100 one by one and heat-shrink the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100. Specifically, the sleeve threading module 4000 is arranged between the initial position and the material taking position.

[0067] The processing mechanism includes a sleeve threading module 4000 with the same quantity as the color wires 9100, which can perform sleeve threading and heat shrinkage operations on the color wires 9100 one by one, ensuring that each color wire 9100 can accurately and stably complete the sleeve threading process. This enables the sleeve threading and heat shrinkage operations to be carried out in parallel on multiple color wires 9100 simultaneously, facilitating flexible adjustment of the production capacity of the processing system according to actual production requirements and greatly improving the processing efficiency of sleeve threading. Moreover, since each module is specifically designed to operate on a single color wire 9100, the situation where the sleeve threading module 4000 needs to adjust its position during processing is avoided, making the sleeve threading step more efficient and accurate. It can more precisely control the sleeve threading and heat shrinkage processes, ensuring the processing quality of each color wire 9100, avoiding chaos and processing errors that may occur when a single sleeve threading module 4000 processes multiple color wires 9100, guaranteeing the accuracy and independence of the processing of each color wire 9100, and effectively improving the work efficiency.

[0068] In this embodiment, the sleeve threading module 4000 includes an automatic sleeve threading mechanism 4100 and a hot air gun assembly 4220, where: the automatic sleeve threading mechanism 4100 is configured to supply sleeve parts and fit the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100; the hot air gun assembly 4220 is configured to heat shrink the sleeve parts and wrap the color wires 9100.

[0069] The automatic sleeve threading mechanism 4100 can automatically supply sleeve parts and fit the sleeve parts onto the color wires 9100, while the hot air gun assembly 4220 heat shrinks the sleeve parts and wraps the color wires 9100. The two parts have clear division of labor and work together to complete the two key steps of sleeve threading and heat shrinkage respectively, replacing the cumbersome operation of manual sleeve fitting and improving the efficiency and accuracy of sleeve fitting. This makes the entire sleeve threading and heat shrinkage process smoother and more efficient, improving the production efficiency and processing quality. Among them, the hot air gun assembly 4220 can provide uniform and stable heat to the sleeve parts. By precisely controlling the temperature and time of the hot air gun, it can ensure that the heat shrinkage effect of the sleeve parts is uniform and reliable, enabling the sleeve parts to tightly wrap the color wires 9100, guaranteeing the quality of heat shrinkage and improving the protection performance of the cable 9000.

[0070] In this embodiment, the sleeve threading module 4000 further includes a sleeve straightening assembly 4210. The sleeve straightening assembly 4210 is arranged at the hot air gun assembly 4220 and is configured to clamp the sleeve parts located on the color wires 9100 and move the sleeve parts on the color wires 9100 to a defined position.

[0071] The sleeve straightening assembly 4210 is arranged at the hot air gun assembly 4220, which can hold the sleeve part and move it to a defined position on the color wire 9100, so as to accurately adjust the position of the sleeve before heat shrinkage, ensuring that the position of the sleeve part on the color wire 9100 meets the requirements. After the sleeve part moves to a suitable position, heat shrinkage is carried out, which can make the sleeve part better fit the color wire 9100 during the heat shrinkage process, thereby optimizing the heat shrinkage effect, improving the processing quality and consistency of the cable 9000 passing through the sleeve, and avoiding the influence of the deviation of the sleeve setting position on the service performance and appearance quality of the cable 9000.

[0072] Furthermore, the sleeve straightening assembly 4210 includes two clamping jaws 4215 that can move relatively closer or farther away from each other, and the clamping jaws 4215 can move along the length direction of the corresponding color wire 9100.

[0073] Through the design that the sleeve straightening assembly 4210 has two clamping jaws 4215 that can move relatively closer or farther away from each other and can move along the length direction of the color wire 9100, the precise adjustment and straightening and fixing of the sleeve are realized, ensuring that the sleeve closely fits the side of the color wire 9100 and the position is accurate, thereby meeting the processing requirements of cables 9000 with different lengths and improving the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0074] Even further, the sleeve straightening assembly 4210 further includes a sleeve straightening base 4211, a motion driving unit 4212, a sleeve straightening lifting driving unit 4213, and a clamping driving unit 4214. The sleeve straightening base 4211 is arranged on the bottom plate 3000, the motion driving unit 4212 is fixedly arranged on the sleeve straightening base 4211, the output end of the motion driving unit 4212 is connected to the sleeve straightening lifting driving unit 4213 for driving the sleeve straightening lifting driving unit 4213 to move along the length direction of the corresponding color wire 9100, the output end of the sleeve straightening lifting driving unit 4213 is connected to the clamping driving unit 4214 for driving the clamping driving unit 4214 to approach or move away from the color wire 9100 in the vertical direction Z, the clamping driving unit 4214 has two output ends, and each output end is fixedly connected with a clamping jaw 4215, and the clamping driving unit 4214 is used for driving the two clamping jaws 4215 to approach or move away from each other.

[0075] Through the structural design of the sleeve straightening assembly 4210, including the sleeve straightening base 4211, the motion driving unit 4212, the sleeve straightening lifting driving unit 4213, and the clamping driving unit 4214, the precise control and stable movement of the clamping jaws 4215 can be realized, ensuring that the sleeve can be accurately and stably straightened, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the sleeve straightening process. At the same time, the above design makes the entire sleeve straightening assembly 4210 more compact and efficient.

[0076] Exemplarily, the automatic sleeving mechanism 4100 includes an output module 4110, a correction module 4120, and a sleeving module 4130; the output module 4110 is configured to supply sleeve parts along the feeding direction X; the correction module 4120 is configured to position the cable 9000 in the feeding direction X; the sleeving module 4130 includes a sleeving assembly, and the sleeving assembly includes a material separation fixture 4131 which can reciprocate between a storage position and a pipe threading position. The material separation fixture 4131 at the storage position can store the sleeve parts supplied by the output module 4110, and the sleeve parts on the material separation fixture 4131 at the pipe threading position are coaxial with the cable 9000. The sleeving assembly can move along the feeding direction X to sleevethe sleeve parts on the cable 9000.

[0077] The output module 4110 stably supplies sleeve parts along the feeding direction X, ensuring the continuity and stability of the supply of sleeve parts; the correction module 4120 can position the cable 9000 in the feeding direction X, accurately aligning the sleeve parts with the cable 9000, ensuring the accurate position of the cable 9000, and improving the success rate of sleeving. The material separation fixture 4131 of the sleeving module 4130 can reciprocate between a storage position and a pipe threading position, accurately storing and delivering sleeve parts, and the sleeving assembly can move along the feeding direction X to sleevethe sleeve parts on the cable 9000. Through the coordinated work of each module, the rapid storage and accurate sleeving of sleeve parts are realized, improving the success rate of sleeving and the processing accuracy.

[0078] Specifically, the material separation fixture 4131 is provided with a positioning through groove 41311 for accommodating sleeve parts, and the output end of the output module 4110 is provided with a sleeve guiding member 4112, and a sleeve guiding track 41121 for outputting sleeve parts is provided on the sleeve guiding member 4112; when the material separation fixture 4131 is at the storage position, the positioning through groove 41311 communicates with the sleeve guiding track 41121.

[0079] The design of the sleeve guiding member 4112 and the sleeve guiding track 41121 of the output module 4110 makes the output of sleeve parts more accurate and smooth, thus improving the guiding performance of the output of sleeve parts. Through the cooperation of the sleeve guiding track 41121 and the material separation fixture 4131, the storage and sorting efficiency of sleeve parts at the storage position are ensured. The above design facilitates the sequential output and storage of sleeve parts, improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire automatic sleeving mechanism 4100.

[0080] Specifically, in the plane perpendicular to the feeding direction X, the projection of the positioning through groove 41311 is the same as the projection of the sleeve guiding track 41121.

This structural design enables the vehicle to perform multi-dimensional movements during the return process. The rotating mechanism 5230 bears the vehicle returning at the position and rotates the steering angle around the vertical direction Z, enhancing the flexibility of the vehicle to adjust its attitude at the return position. The vehicle can be steered according to the system layout and the vehicle return requirements, providing the possibility for the transition between the flow lines in different conveying directions of the vehicle, optimizing the attitude of the vehicle during the return process, improving the accuracy and adaptability of the vehicle return, and enhancing the overall operating efficiency of the system.

Thus, the cable 9000 that has completed the cable threading operation can be quickly taken out from the carrier and placed at the designated position, so as to realize the flexible grasping, moving and material throwing operations of the processed cable 9000, thereby efficiently completing the blanking process. The material throwing position and angle can be flexibly adjusted according to actual production requirements, which is convenient for the collection and arrangement of the cable 9000 to adapt to different production layouts and requirements, and improves the efficiency of the production process. Among them, by rotating the material throwing angle of the cable 9000, the cable 9000 can be prevented from being excessively pulled and collided during the release process, reducing the risk of cable 9000 damage.

Moreover, there is at least one set of cable automatic cable threading systems.
