[0045] As Figure 1 shown, a flexible flat cable pasting device includes a feeding assembly 1, a handling and pasting assembly 2, and a pressing assembly 3.

[0046] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the feeding assembly 1 includes a feeding rack 11, a guiding mechanism 12, and a cutting mechanism 13. The feeding rack 11 is used to hold the tape roll, and the tape released from the feeding rack 11 passes through the guiding mechanism 12. The cutting mechanism 13 is arranged on the discharging side of the guiding mechanism 12 and is used to cut a suitable length of glue section.

[0047] As Figure 4 shown, the pressing assembly 3 includes a pressing upper die 31, a pressing lower die 32, and a pressing driving mechanism 33. The pressing lower die 32 has a pressing position for carrying the feeding of the end of the cable. The end of the cable is fed to the pressing position of the pressing lower die 32 by a conveying device. The pressing driving mechanism 33 is drivingly connected to at least one of the pressing upper die 31 and the pressing lower die 32 to drive the pressing upper die 31 and the pressing lower die 32 to perform a pressing action at the pressing position to press the glue section onto the end of the cable. The handling and pasting assembly 2 obtains the glue section from the discharging side of the guiding mechanism 12, moves the glue section and pastes it onto the end of the cable.

[0048] In the present invention, a feeding component 1, a handling and pasting component 2, and a pressing component 3 are provided. Among them, the cable is fed by an external conveying device to the lower pressing die 32 of the pressing component. Specifically, the end of the cable is fed to the pressing position of the lower pressing die 32 of the pressing component. The feeding rack 11 supplies the tape, the guiding mechanism 12 guides the feeding of the tape, the cutting mechanism 13 cuts the tape into tape segments, the handling and pasting component 2 transports the tape segments to the pressing position and pastes the tape segments at the end of the cable, and the pressing driving mechanism 33 drives at least one of the upper pressing die 31 and the lower pressing die 32 of the pressing component to perform a pressing action, so as to press the tape against the position of the cable near the end face. The lower pressing die 32 bears the end of the cable, and the tape is pressed against the position of the cable near the end face. In this way, the tape or the film end covers the ends of the wires exposed at the end of the cable. By covering and pasting the exposed ends of the wires with the tape, the exposed wires can be better pasted together with the insulating layer, avoiding or reducing the warping and degumming of the wires, and making the insertion of the end of the cable smooth.

[0049] For the pressing driving mechanism 33, it is at least drivingly connected to one of the upper pressing die 31 and the lower pressing die 32. In one driving connection mode, the pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the upper pressing die 31, and the pressing driving mechanism 33 drives the upper pressing die 31 to move, and the lower pressing die 32 is either stationary or driven by other driving mechanisms. After feeding and pasting the tape, the pressing driving mechanism 33 drives the upper pressing die 31 to move towards the lower pressing die 32, and presses the tape against the end of the cable from top to bottom. Of course, the pressing driving mechanism 33 can also be drivingly connected to the lower pressing die 32. After feeding and pasting the tape, the pressing driving mechanism 33 drives the lower pressing die 32 to move towards the upper pressing die 31, and presses the tape against the end of the cable from bottom to top. It is also possible to set the pressing driving mechanism 33 as a power element with two outputs. The two output ends of the pressing driving mechanism 33 are respectively connected to the upper pressing die 31 and the lower pressing die 32, and the pressing driving mechanism 33 drives the upper pressing die 31 and the lower pressing die 32 to move simultaneously.

[0050] When the pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the upper pressing die 31, in some further embodiments, specifically, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the cable is fed along the X-axis direction, and the pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the upper pressing die 31 to drive the upper pressing die 31 to perform a lifting movement along the Z-axis.

[0051] The pressing component 3 further includes a Y-axis moving mechanism 34. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is connected to the pressing driving mechanism 33 to drive the pressing driving mechanism 33 to move along the Y-axis and perform secondary pressing.

[0052] In this embodiment, a Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is provided. Through the cooperation of the Y-axis moving mechanism 34 and the glue pressing driving mechanism 33, the first pressing and the second pressing of the flexible flat cable are carried out. The first pressing pastes and presses the tape or the glue segment at a position close to the end face of the end of the flexible flat cable. The first pressing is for pressing the glue segment and is also a pressing at a position close to the end face, which is likely to cause the end of the flexible flat cable to bend. Therefore, the second pressing levels the possible bending caused by the first pressing, improving the overall flatness of the end of the flexible flat cable.

[0053] In some embodiments of the flexible flat cable gluing device, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the glue pressing upper die 31 to drive the glue pressing upper die 31 to move up and down along the Z-axis. The glue pressing assembly 3 further includes a lifting and avoiding mechanism 35. The glue pressing lower die 32 is arranged on the lifting and avoiding mechanism 35, and the lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 drives the glue pressing lower die 32 to move up and down to avoid the feeding and discharging of the flexible flat cable. In many conveying devices during feeding, most are linear conveyances. Since the flexible flat cable itself is mostly flexible and the conveying device clamps the middle of the flexible flat cable, the end of the flexible flat cable is likely to bend and sag. In this embodiment, the lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 is provided to drive the glue pressing lower die 32 to descend during the feeding of the flexible flat cable, so as to avoid the feeding of the flexible flat cable. After the feeding of the flexible flat cable, the lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 drives the glue pressing lower die 32 to reset upward and bear the end of the flexible flat cable.

[0054] Furthermore, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, the glue pressing assembly 3 further includes a glue pressing mounting plate 36, an upper panel 37 and a lower panel 38. The upper panel 37 is slidably arranged on the glue pressing mounting plate 36 along the Y-axis direction, and the lower panel 38 is slidably arranged on the glue pressing mounting plate 36 along the Z-axis direction. Specifically, the upper panel 37 and the lower panel 38 can be slidably assembled through the sliding fit of sliders and guide rails.

[0055] For the aforementioned Y-axis moving mechanism 34, the Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is connected to the upper panel 37, and the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 is arranged on the upper panel 37. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 drives the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 to move along the Y-axis and perform secondary glue pressing. The lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 is connected to the lower panel 38.

[0056] For the glue pressing driving mechanism 33, it can specifically be a cylinder or an electric push rod, and the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 is installed on the upper panel 37 through a connecting seat.

[0057] For the Y-axis moving mechanism 34, it can specifically be a cylinder, a push rod, or a lead screw drive mechanism. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is arranged on the back surface of the rubber pressing mounting plate 36, and the upper panel 37 is arranged on the front surface of the rubber pressing mounting plate 36. The output end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is connected to the upper panel 37 through a connecting piece, thereby driving the upper panel 37 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0058] For the lifting and avoiding mechanism 35, it can specifically be a cylinder or an electric push rod. The lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 is arranged on the rubber pressing mounting plate 36 through direct or indirect assembly. The lifting and avoiding mechanism 35 is connected to the lower panel 38 to drive the lower panel 38 to move up and down along the Y-axis seat.

[0059] In addition, in order to prevent the rubber segment from leaking glue and causing the upper rubber pressing die 31 and the lower rubber pressing die 32 to bond the wiring harness, guide rollers are provided on both the upper panel 37 and the lower panel 38. The guide rollers on the upper panel 37 and the guide rollers on the lower panel 38 are used to guide two isolation films to pass through the two isolation films of the upper rubber pressing die 31 and the lower rubber pressing die 32 respectively. In this way, the isolation film is used to carry away the leaked glue to prevent the upper rubber pressing die 31 and the lower rubber pressing die 32 from sticking glue. The rubber pressing assembly 3 is provided with a rubber pressing mounting plate 36, an upper panel 37, and a lower panel 38, which facilitates the setting of multiple guide rollers on the upper panel 37 and the lower panel 38 and improves the assembly convenience of the guide rollers.

[0060] In some embodiments of the handling and pasting rubber component 2, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the handling and pasting rubber component 2 includes a handling platform 21 and a suction nozzle 22. The suction nozzle 22 is arranged on the handling platform 21. The handling platform 21 drives the suction nozzle 22 to pass through the discharge side of the guiding mechanism 12 and the lower rubber pressing die 32. When the handling platform 21 drives the suction nozzle 22 to pass through the discharge side of the guiding mechanism 12, the suction nozzle 22 adsorbs the cut rubber segment. Then, the handling platform 21 drives the rubber segment to move to the lower rubber pressing die 32 and pastes the rubber segment at a position close to the end face of the wiring harness.

[0061] Specifically, the handling platform 21 can be a multi-axis moving platform, such as a two-axis platform that can drive the suction nozzle 22 to move arbitrarily along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. It can also be a three-axis platform that drives the suction nozzle 22 to move arbitrarily along the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction. In this way, during handling, through lifting and avoiding actions, it can cut into the discharge side of the guiding mechanism 12 from the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction to suck the rubber segment.

[0062] In other embodiments of the handling platform 21, the handling platform 21 is a Z-axis moving mechanism, the suction nozzle 22 is arranged on the Z-axis moving mechanism, the suction nozzle 22 is located above the lower rubber pressing die 32, and the Z-axis moving mechanism drives the suction nozzle 22 to perform a lifting movement above the lower rubber pressing die 32.

[0063] At the same time, such as Figure 4 、Figure 5 As shown, the glue pressing assembly 3 further includes a Y-axis moving mechanism 34. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 is connected to the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 to drive the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 to move and avoid along the Y-axis. The glue pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the upper glue pressing die 31 to drive the upper glue pressing die 31 to move up and down along the Z-axis. The glue pressing driving mechanism 33 is connected to the upper glue pressing die 31 to drive the upper glue pressing die 31 to perform the glue pressing action. After the glue pressing, the Y-axis moving mechanism 34 drives the glue pressing driving mechanism 33 to move and avoid along the Y-axis, that is, drives the upper glue pressing die 31 to move and avoid along the Y-axis. In this way, the Z-axis moving mechanism can move up and down unobstructed, and suck the glue segment along a straight line and paste the glue segment at the end of the wire harness, improving the feeding and pasting speed of the glue segment. Simplify the structure of the handling platform 21, and a single-axis platform can be set to realize the feeding and pasting of the glue segment.

[0064] In some embodiments of the handling and pasting assembly 2, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the handling and pasting assembly 2 further includes an elastic assembly mechanism 23. The elastic assembly mechanism 23 includes a transfer plate 231, an upper baffle 232, a lower baffle 233, an elastic linear bearing 234 and a nozzle fixing block 235. The transfer plate 231 is connected to the handling platform 21, specifically, the transfer plate 231 is connected to the handling platform 21. The upper baffle 232 and the lower baffle 233 are arranged side by side at intervals up and down on the side of the transfer plate 231. The elastic linear bearing 234 is arranged between the upper baffle 232 and the lower baffle 233. The nozzle fixing block 235 is arranged on the elastic linear bearing 234. The elastic linear bearing 234 applies a downward elastic force to the nozzle fixing block 235. The nozzle 22 is arranged on the nozzle fixing block 235. By arranging the elastic assembly mechanism 23 on the handling and pasting assembly 2, in this way, the elastic assembly mechanism 23 can continuously apply an elastic force to the nozzle fixing block 235. When passing through the film pasting end of the nozzle 22, it can buffer the direct collision between the nozzle 22 and the lower glue pressing die 32, and at the same time enable the nozzle 22 to apply an appropriate pressure to the glue segment.

[0065] For the elastic linear bearing, specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the elastic linear bearing 234 includes a guide shaft 2341, a sliding sleeve 2342 and an elastic member 2343. The sliding sleeve 2342 is slidably sleeved on the guide shaft 2341. A receiving groove is provided at the top of the sliding sleeve 2342. The elastic member 2343 is arranged in the receiving groove, and the upper end of the elastic member 2343 abuts against the upper baffle 232, the lower end of the elastic member 2343 abuts against the lower baffle 233, and the sliding sleeve 2342 is connected to the nozzle fixing block 235.

[0066] The elastic member 2343 can specifically be a spring or elastic rubber. When the elastic member 2343 is a spring, the receiving groove is a groove provided around the guide shaft 2341. The spring is sleeved on the guide shaft 2341. The lower end of the spring extends into the receiving groove, and the upper end of the spring abuts against the upper baffle 232.

[0067] In some embodiments of the feeding assembly 1, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown, the feeding assembly 1 further includes a moving clamping mechanism 14, and the moving clamping mechanism 14 is arranged on the discharging side of the guiding mechanism 12.

[0068] In this embodiment, the moving clamping mechanism 14 pulls out the tape for discharging, holds the tape section when the cutting mechanism 13 cuts the tape, and makes a movement to avoid and carry the tape pasting assembly 2, and finally resets the tape section below the tape pasting assembly 2. The flexible flat cable pasting device has the following working method:

[0069] Load the cable onto the lower rubber pressing die 32, and the end of the cable is located at the rubber pressing position on the lower rubber pressing die 32;

[0070] The moving clamping mechanism 14 pulls out the tape from the guiding mechanism 12 for discharging, and holds the tape section after pulling out a preset length;

[0071] The moving cutting mechanism 13 cuts to the discharging side of the guiding mechanism 12 and resets after cutting;

[0072] The moving clamping mechanism 14 clamps the tape section and makes a movement to avoid the tape pasting assembly 2;

[0073] By using the tape pasting assembly 2 to drive the suction nozzle 22 to move upward and cross over the moving clamping mechanism 14, the moving clamping mechanism 14 drives the tape section to move and reset. The tape pasting assembly 2 drives the suction nozzle 22 to move upward above the tape section and adsorb the tape section, and the moving clamping mechanism 14 releases the tape section;

[0074] The tape pasting assembly 2 drives the suction nozzle 22 to move downward, and the suction nozzle 22 drives the tape section to move downward until the tape section is pasted at a position close to the end face of the cable;

[0075] The tape pasting assembly 2 drives the suction nozzle 22 to move upward and reset. The rubber pressing driving mechanism 33 drives the upper rubber pressing die 31 to perform a rubber pressing action. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 drives the rubber pressing driving mechanism 33 to move along the Y-axis and perform a secondary rubber pressing action. The Y-axis moving mechanism 34 drives the rubber pressing driving mechanism 33 to move along the Y-axis again and reset or avoid the suction nozzle 22.

[0076] In some embodiments of the guiding mechanism 12, the guiding mechanism 12 includes a discharging table and guiding blocks. The guiding blocks are arranged on the discharging table, and discharging grooves are formed at the bottoms of the guiding blocks. Specifically, the discharging grooves discharge materials along the X-axis direction. The feeding assembly 1 further includes a pressing mechanism 15, which is arranged above the discharging table and on the side of the guiding blocks close to the discharging side. In this embodiment, by arranging the pressing mechanism 15 above the discharging table, when cutting, the pressing mechanism 15 can be used to press the tape tightly, cooperate with the moving clamping mechanism 14 to stably hold the tape, improve the stability when cutting the tape, and improve the cutting accuracy of the tape segments.

[0077] For the cutting mechanism 13, it includes a cutting tool, a cutting driving element, and a cutting moving element. The cutting moving element is connected to the cutting driving element to drive the cutting driving element and the cutting tool to move towards the tape, specifically move or reset along the Y-axis direction, and drive the cutting driving element and the cutting tool to reset after cutting. The cutting driving element and the cutting moving element can specifically be linear motors or cylinders.

[0078] For the moving clamping mechanism 14, it specifically includes a clamping cylinder and an X-axis moving mechanism. The X-axis moving mechanism is arranged on the rubber pressing mounting plate 36, and the X-axis moving mechanism is also connected to the clamping cylinder.

[0079] The corresponding pressing mechanism 15 includes a cylinder and a pressing block. Before cutting, the cylinder drives the pressing block to press the tape tightly. And after cutting, the pressing on the tape is released.

[0080] In addition, a first heating rod and a first temperature sensor are arranged in the upper rubber pressing die 31, and a first heating rod and a first temperature sensor are arranged in the lower rubber pressing die 32. The upper rubber pressing die 31 is heated by setting the first heating rod, and the temperature of the upper rubber pressing die 31 is sensed and controlled by the first temperature sensor. The lower rubber pressing die 32 is heated by the second heating rod, and the temperature of the lower rubber pressing die 32 is sensed and controlled by the second temperature sensor. After heating, the stability of the tape segment adhesion is improved.

[0081] For the upper rubber pressing die 31, specifically, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, the upper die 31 for pressing glue includes an upper die body 311 and a pressing plate 312. An installation groove is provided at the bottom of the upper die body 311, and the pressing plate 312 is arranged in the installation groove and protrudes from the bottom of the upper die body 311. More specifically, a first stepped surface 3121, a second stepped surface 3122, and a third stepped surface 3123 are provided at the bottom of the pressing plate 312.
