Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable processing automation, and in particular to a device and method for automatically color-sorting and sorting multi-core sheathed wires. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the color sorting of multi-core sheathed cables (such as flat cables and data cables) mainly relies on manual operation: 1. Inefficiency: Workers need to visually identify the wire core colors and manually sort them, which takes a long time; 2. High error rate: Manual operation can easily lead to core misalignment and missing rows, affecting the yield of finished products; 3. Wire core entanglement: Wire cores are easily entangled with each other, making subsequent wire management difficult and requiring additional processing steps; 4. Poor versatility: Different specifications of sheathed cables (different number of cores / color distribution) require replacement of special fixtures.

[0003] Existing automated equipment has the following defects: one-sided wire pushing causes uneven force on the wire core, which is easy to deviate from the target slot; the fixture spacing is fixed and cannot adapt to sheathed wires with different core numbers; there is a lack of synchronous wire management function, and it needs to be transferred to an independent wire management station for a second time.

[0004] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for an automatic color separation and sorting device for multi-core sheathed cables. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an automatic color separation and sorting device and method for multi-core sheathed cables to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, and achieve: efficient and accurate color separation: through image recognition + double-sided wire pushing mechanism, the wire cores are automatically returned to their original positions according to color; anti-entanglement wire management: the combing mechanism and the fixture act synchronously to instantly separate and straighten the wire cores; anti-misalignment design: progressive length gradient slots combined with a step-by-step joining strategy ensure that the wire cores are stably locked.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: An automatic color separation and sorting device for multi-core sheathed cables, comprising: The material grabbing and moving mechanism is set on the whole machine frame; The manipulator is connected to the material grabbing and moving mechanism and is driven by the transverse drive module to move horizontally for grabbing and transferring the sheath wire; The color separation and sorting fixture mechanism is set just below the material grabbing and moving mechanism, providing wire core sorting slots with adjustable spacing; The lifting and moving mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism; The color separation and sorting actuator is connected to the lifting and moving mechanism and is driven by the lifting drive module to push the wire core into the designated slot; The combing and straightening wire core mechanism is arranged on the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism and is used to comb and straighten the sorted wire cores.

[0007] Furthermore, the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism includes: The upper fixture movable seat and the lower fixture movable seat are connected and driven by the fixture drive module to move relative to each other along the fixture slide rail; The upper fixture mounting block and the lower fixture mounting block are connected to the upper fixture movable seat and the lower fixture movable seat respectively; The upper jig and the lower jig are respectively installed on the front ends of the upper jig mounting block and the lower jig mounting block, and the two are staggered in the horizontal direction; The working ends of the upper jig and the lower jig are provided with a plurality of forked grooves formed by racks. When the upper jig movable seat and the lower jig movable seat move closer to each other, the forked grooves of the two completely overlap on the vertical plane.

[0008] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the upper and lower jigs are L-shaped, the horizontal sections are fixed to the jig mounting blocks, and the vertical sections are provided with forked slots; The transverse section of the upper wire core sorting fork plate is provided with an avoidance opening for allowing the working end of the lower wire core sorting fork plate to pass through when the upper wire core sorting fork plate and the lower wire core sorting fork plate are close to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the length gradient of the bifurcated groove increases from the middle to both sides.

[0010] Furthermore, the color separation and sorting execution mechanism includes: The sorting movable seat is driven by the sorting drive module and moves along the sorting slide rail; Sorting installation block, connected to the sorting movable seat; The wire pushing block is installed at the front end of the sorting installation block. The wire pushing block is provided with a needle body. The working end of the needle body is provided with an arc structure matching the wire core.

[0011] Furthermore, the combing and sorting wire core mechanism includes: The upper combing movable seat and the lower combing movable seat movably connected along the combing slide rail are respectively connected to the upper connecting block and the lower connecting block; The upper combing block and the lower combing block are installed on the connecting block, the lower combing block is provided with comb teeth, and the upper combing block is provided with corresponding combing holes; A straightening drive module drives the upper connecting block and the lower connecting block to move synchronously to perform the straightening action; The upper connecting block and the lower connecting block laterally penetrate the upper synchronization block and the lower synchronization block fixed to the fixture mounting block, so that the movement of the comb blocks is synchronized with the opening and closing of the fixture.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an image acquisition mechanism, which is installed on the entire machine frame and is communicatively connected with the color separation and sorting system.

[0013] A method for automatically color-sorting and sorting multi-core sheathed cables, comprising the following steps: S1: The uniform wire core color distribution data is entered into the color separation and sorting system in advance. The image acquisition mechanism acquires images of the sheath wire of the screen core and uploads them to the color separation and sorting system to generate color separation and sorting logic instructions. S2: The robot grabs the sheathed wire and transfers it to the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism station; S3: The jig drive module drives the upper jig and the lower jig to engage for the first time, locking the slots of the two outermost wire cores; S4: The lifting and moving mechanism adjusts the color separation and sorting actuator to the first target height; S5: The needle on the left color sorting actuator pushes the specific color core to the rightmost slot, and the needle on the right color sorting actuator pushes the specific color core to the leftmost slot. After completion, the needle exits the current position; S6: Drive the upper fixture and the lower fixture to engage for the second time, locking the slots of the two outer cores; S7: The lifting and moving mechanism adjusts the color separation and sorting actuator to the second target height; S8: The left color sorting actuator pushes the specific color wire core to the second right slot, and the right color sorting actuator pushes the specific color wire core to the second left slot; S9: Drive the upper fixture and the lower fixture to engage for the third time. If there is one wire core left, it falls into the center slot. S10: The combing and separating wire core mechanism is synchronously engaged and clamped to form the wire core, and the comb teeth of the lower combing block open the wire core to form a spacing; S11: The straightening drive module drives the upper combing block and the lower combing block to move forward to straighten the straight core; S12: Remove the sheathed wire and reset to enter the next cycle.

[0014] Furthermore, the length gradient of the forked grooves on the upper jig and the lower jig increases from the middle to both sides, so that the upper jig and the lower jig can lock the wire cores layer by layer into the grooves during step-by-step engagement.

[0015] Furthermore, in S9, if two wire cores are still not in place after the third splicing, a supplementary step is performed: S91: Push one of the wire cores of a specific color to the adjacent slot through the left or right color separation and sorting actuator, and the other wire core falls into the current slot through the third connection.

[0016] The technical solution of this patent has achieved the following beneficial effects compared with the existing technology: 1. Structural synergy: The integrated design of the material grabbing and moving mechanism, color separation and sorting fixture mechanism, lifting and moving mechanism, color separation and sorting actuator mechanism, and combing and sorting wire core mechanism realizes the automation of the entire process of "grabbing-sorting-wire sorting" from a structural perspective, eliminating the subjective errors and efficiency bottlenecks of manual color separation, and is particularly suitable for high-density wire core processing.

[0017] 2. Precision and reliability: The color sorting fixture's adjustable slots and gradient fork slot length, combined with a step-by-step joining method, ensure that the wire cores are locked layer by layer, improving sorting accuracy. The curved needles of the color sorting actuator and the synchronized comb teeth of the combing mechanism prevent wire core damage from a structural perspective, ensuring operational safety and product yield.

[0018] 3. Intelligent adaptability: The communication between the image acquisition mechanism and the color separation and sorting system enables the device to automatically identify the color distribution of the wire cores and adapt to changing production needs.

[0019] 4. Improved production efficiency: The overall structure reduces manual intervention and achieves continuous operation. At the same time, the L-shaped fixture, avoidance opening and other designs optimize the smoothness of mechanical movement, reduce equipment failure rate, and are suitable for industrial mass production.

[0020] In summary, the present invention solves the difficult problem of automated color sorting of multi-core sheathed cables, improves efficiency, accuracy and reliability, and reduces production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See Figure 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic color separation and sorting device for multi-core sheathed cables, comprising: The material grabbing and moving mechanism 1 is arranged on the whole machine frame; The manipulator 2 is connected to the material grabbing and moving mechanism 1 and is driven by the lateral driving module 11 to move horizontally. It is used to grab and transfer the sheathed wire 8, replacing manual operation, improving handling efficiency and avoiding human error. The color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3 is arranged directly below the material grabbing and moving mechanism 1, and provides wire core sorting slots with adjustable spacing, which is suitable for sheathed wires of different specifications and enhances versatility; The lifting and moving mechanism 4 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3 to achieve accurate two-way pushing of the wire core; The color sorting actuator 5 is connected to the lifting and moving mechanism 4 and is driven by the lifting drive module 41 to push the wire core into the designated slot. The bilaterally symmetrical lifting and driving wire pushing operation realizes the precise bidirectional pushing of the wire core, ensuring that the wire core is returned to its position step by step according to color. The combing and straightening wire core mechanism 6 is arranged on the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3, and is used to comb and straighten the sorted wire cores, solve the problem of wire core entanglement, ensure the neatness of the output wire harness, and facilitate the operation of the next workstation.

[0025] The color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3 includes: The upper fixture movable seat 31 and the lower fixture movable seat 32 are connected and driven by the fixture driving module 33 to move relative to each other along the fixture slide rail 34; The upper fixture mounting block 35 and the lower fixture mounting block 36 are connected to the upper fixture movable seat 31 and the lower fixture movable seat 32 respectively; The upper jig 37 and the lower jig 38 are respectively mounted on the front ends of the upper jig mounting block 35 and the lower jig mounting block 36, and the two are staggered in the horizontal direction. The working ends of the upper jig 37 and the lower jig 38 are provided with a plurality of forked grooves 300 formed by racks. When the upper jig movable seat 31 and the lower jig movable seat 32 move closer to each other, the forked grooves 300 of the two completely overlap in the vertical plane.

[0026] The fixture drive module 33 drives bidirectional relative motion, enabling precise opening and closing control of the fixture and preventing core displacement. A horizontal offset structure prevents motion interference; the vertical overlap of the bifurcated slots 300 forms a complete slot, ensuring the core is stably locked in place.

[0027] The upper and lower jigs 37 and 38 have L-shaped cross-sections, with their transverse sections fixed to the jig mounting blocks and their vertical sections provided with forked slots 300. A clearance opening 371 is provided in the transverse section of the upper wire-core sorting fork plate 37 to allow the working end of the lower wire-core sorting fork plate 38 to pass through when the upper and lower wire-core sorting fork plates 37 and 38 are brought together. This clearance opening 371 allows the working end of the lower jig 38 to pass through the upper jig 37 during engagement, resolving space conflicts and achieving reliable engagement in a compact jig.

[0028] The length gradient of the forked slot 300 increases from the middle to both sides, leaving enough space in the middle for orderly screening of the cores of the sheathed wire 8. Then, the upper jig 37 and the lower jig 38 are used to lock the cores layer by layer into the slots in a step-by-step joint. This length gradient achieves progressive locking "from the outside to the center" to avoid confusion of the cores.

[0029] The color separation and sorting execution mechanism 5 includes: The sorting movable seat 51 is driven by the sorting drive module 52 and moves along the sorting slide rail 53; Sorting mounting block 54, connected to the sorting movable seat 51; The wire pushing block 55 is installed at the front end of the sorting installation block 54. The wire pushing block 55 is provided with a needle body 551. The working end of the needle body 551 is provided with an arc structure 552 that matches the wire core.

[0030] The combination of the sorting movable seat 51 and sorting slide 53, driven by the sorting drive module 52, structurally enables precise linear movement of the wire pushing block 55, avoiding angular deviation during wire pushing and ensuring the precise positioning of the wire core into the designated slot. The curved structure 552 of the needle body 551 matches the shape of the wire core, providing a gentle contact structure and distributing pressure during wire pushing, preventing surface damage such as scratching the insulation layer and improving operational safety.

[0031] The combing and sorting wire core mechanism 6 comprises: The upper combing movable seat 61 and the lower combing movable seat 62 are movably connected along the combing slide rail 60, and are respectively connected to the upper connecting block 65 and the lower connecting block 66; The upper combing block 67 and the lower combing block 68 are installed on the connecting block. The lower combing block 68 is provided with comb teeth 681, and the upper combing block 67 is provided with corresponding combing holes 671. The straightening drive module 69 drives the upper connecting block 65 and the lower connecting block 66 to move synchronously to perform the straightening action; The upper connecting block 65 and the lower connecting block 66 laterally penetrate the upper synchronizing block 63 and the lower synchronizing block 64 fixed to the fixture mounting block, so that the movement of the comb blocks is synchronized with the opening and closing of the fixture.

[0032] The comb teeth 681 and comb holes 671 of the upper comb block 67 and the lower comb block 68 cooperate with each other. The staggered tooth holes achieve physical separation of the wire cores, forming a uniform spacing to prevent the wire cores from entanglement. The horizontal penetration design of the upper synchronization block 63 and the lower synchronization block 64 synchronizes the movement of the comb block with the opening and closing of the fixture. The structure ensures that the wire core is combed immediately after clamping, avoiding loosening of the wire core and improving wire management efficiency. The straightening drive module 69 drives the synchronous movement, structurally realizing the forward straightening action of the upper / lower comb blocks, eliminating wire core bending and providing a flat straight bundle for subsequent processes.

[0033] It also includes an image acquisition mechanism 7, which is installed on the whole machine frame and communicates with the color separation and sorting system to realize non-contact image acquisition, identify the color distribution of the wire core, and generate color separation and sorting logic instructions, so that the device can adapt to sheathed wires with different color configurations, improve intelligence and flexibility, replace manual color identification, and realize intelligent color separation decision-making.

[0034] See Figure 1-14 As shown, a method for automatically color-sorting and sorting multi-core sheathed cables includes the following steps: S1: The uniform wire core color distribution data is entered into the color separation and sorting system in advance, and the image acquisition mechanism 7 acquires images of the sheath wire 8 of the screen core and uploads them to the color separation and sorting system to generate color separation and sorting logic instructions; S2: The manipulator 2 grabs the sheathed wire 8 and transfers it to the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3 station. It should be noted that the exposed multi-cores 9 of the sheathed wire 8 are preliminarily straightened to at least ensure that there are no knots between the cores. Then, the manipulator 2 clamps the exposed multi-cores 9 and reserves a length of the cores to facilitate pushing the cores into the corresponding slots. After being clamped by the manipulator 2, the multi-cores 9 are transferred to the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3 station in parallel. S3: The jig drive module 33 drives the upper jig 37 and the lower jig 38 to engage for the first time, locking the slots of the two outermost wire cores; S4: The lifting and moving mechanism 4 adjusts the color separation and sorting actuator 5 to a first target height; S5: The needle 551 on the left color sorting actuator 5 pushes the specific color core 9 to the rightmost slot 302, and the needle 551 on the right color sorting actuator 5 pushes the specific color core 9 to the leftmost slot position 301. After completion, the needle 551 exits the current position; S6: driving the upper fixture 37 and the lower fixture 38 to engage for the second time, locking the slots of the two outer cores; S7: The lifting and moving mechanism 4 adjusts the color separation and sorting actuator 5 to a second target height; S8: The left color sorting actuator 5 pushes the specific color wire core 9 to the second right slot 303, and the right color sorting actuator 5 pushes the specific color wire core 9 to the second left slot 304; S9: Drive the upper fixture 37 and the lower fixture 38 to engage for the third time. If there is one remaining core 9, it falls into the center slot. It should be noted that when the number of cores 9 is odd, the last remaining core is clamped into the center slot through the third engagement. If the number of cores 9 is even, the remaining two cores will perform the supplementary steps: S91: Push one of the wire cores of a specific color to the adjacent slot through the left or right color separation and sorting actuator 5, and the other wire core falls into the current slot through the third splicing. It can be understood from the above steps S9 to S91 that each time the robot 2 grabs the sheathed wire 8 and transfers it to the color separation and sorting fixture mechanism 3, it will first determine the center position to adapt to different numbers of wire cores, thereby improving practicality and adaptability; S10: The combing and sorting wire core mechanism 6 is synchronously engaged and clamped, and the comb teeth 681 of the lower combing block 68 comb the wire cores to form spacing. The synchronous action of the combing and sorting wire core mechanism 6 is used to sort the wires immediately after sorting, ensuring that the wire bundles are neat and improving product consistency. S11: The straightening drive module 69 drives the upper combing block 67 and the lower combing block 68 to move forward to straighten the straight core; S12: Remove the sheathed wire and reset to enter the next cycle.

[0035] The length gradient of the forked slots 300 on the upper jig 37 and lower jig 38 increases from the center to the sides, allowing the upper jig 37 and lower jig 38 to lock the wire cores 9 layer by layer into the slots during step-by-step engagement. Through multiple jig engagements and lifting adjustments, combined with the wire pushing operation of the color sorting actuator 5, the wire cores are gradually locked from the outside to the center, reducing the sorting error rate. The synchronous action of the combing and core sorting mechanism 6 allows the wires to be sorted immediately after sorting, ensuring a neat bundle and improving product consistency. This method achieves high-precision sorting through a structured multi-step process and is particularly suitable for sheathed wires with complex color distributions.

[0036] In summary, the technical solution of this patent has achieved the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The integrated design of the material grabbing and moving mechanism 1, the color sorting fixture mechanism 3, the lifting and moving mechanism 4, the color sorting actuator 5, and the combing and managing wire core mechanism 6 realizes the automation of the entire "grabbing-sorting-wire management" process, eliminating the subjective errors and efficiency bottlenecks of manual color sorting, and is particularly suitable for high-density wire core processing. The adjustable slot position and fork slot length gradient design of the color sorting fixture 2, combined with the step-by-step joining method, ensure that the wire cores are locked layer by layer, improving sorting accuracy; the curved needle body of the color sorting actuator 5 and the synchronized comb teeth of the combing and managing wire core mechanism 6 prevent wire core damage, ensuring operational safety and product yield. The image acquisition mechanism 7 communicates with the color sorting system, enabling the device to automatically identify the color distribution of the wire cores and adapt to changing production needs.

After completion, the needle (551) exits the current position; S6: driving the upper fixture (37) and the lower fixture (38) to engage for the second time, locking the slots of the two outer cores; S7: the lifting and moving mechanism (4) adjusts the color separation and sorting actuator (5) to a second target height; S8: The left color sorting actuator (5) pushes the specific color wire core to the second right slot (303), and the right color sorting actuator (5) pushes the specific color wire core to the second left slot (304); S9: driving the upper fixture (37) and the lower fixture (38) to engage for the third time, and if there is one wire core remaining, it falls into the center slot; S10: The combing and sorting wire core mechanism (6) synchronously engages and clamps the wire core, and the comb teeth (681) of the lower combing block (68) comb the wire core to form a spacing; S11: the straightening drive module (69) drives the upper combing block (67) and the lower combing block (68) to move forward to straighten the straight core; S12: Remove the sheathed wire and reset to enter the next cycle.

9. The method for automatic color sorting of multi-core sheathed cables according to claim 8, characterized in that: The length gradient of the forked slots (300) on the upper jig (37) and the lower jig (38) increases from the middle to both sides, so that the upper jig (37) and the lower jig (38) lock the wire core layer by layer into the slot position during step-by-step engagement.

10. The automatic color sorting and sorting method for multi-core sheathed cables according to claim 8, characterized in that: In S9, if two wire cores are still not in place after the third splicing, perform the following additional steps: S91: Push one of the wire cores of a specific color to the adjacent slot through the left or right color separation and sorting actuator (5), and the other wire core falls into the current slot through the third connection.
