[0023] like Figures 1 to 4The outer conductor molded shell installation device shown includes: a wire harness clamping mechanism 1, a molded shell installation mechanism 2, a molded shell rotation mechanism 3 and a molded shell transfer mechanism 54. The wire harness clamping mechanism 1 has a wire harness clamping claw 11 and a terminal fixing member 12, and the clamping centers of the wire harness clamping claw 11 and the terminal fixing member 12 are arranged coaxially; the molded shell installation mechanism 2 is arranged opposite to the wire harness clamping mechanism 1, and the molded shell installation mechanism 2 has a molded shell installation claw 21, and the molded shell installation claw 21 is used to clamp the outer conductor molded shell; the molded shell rotation mechanism 3 has a molded shell rotation claw 31, and the molded shell rotation claw 31 is used to rotate the outer conductor molded shell to a set position; the molded shell transfer mechanism 54 has a molded shell transfer claw 41, and the molded shell transfer claw 41 is arranged between the molded shell installation mechanism 2 and the molded shell rotation mechanism 3; wherein, the molded shell installation claw 21, the molded shell rotation claw 31 and the molded shell transfer claw 41 are all provided with a reserved opening a adapted to the outer conductor molded shell. The wire harness clamping mechanism 1 includes a wire harness clamping jaw 11 and a terminal fixing member 12. The mechanism is used to clamp and position the wire harness and its terminals to be assembled, so that the clamping centers of the wire harness clamping jaw 11 and the terminal fixing member 12 are arranged along the same axis, ensuring that the wire harness maintains a precise axial alignment during the clamping process, which is beneficial for the subsequent docking with the outer conductor plastic shell. The plastic shell installation mechanism 2 is arranged at a position opposite to the wire harness clamping mechanism 1, and has a plastic shell installation clamping jaw 21, which is responsible for clamping the outer conductor plastic shell and sending it to the installation position to complete the docking with the wire harness terminal. The plastic shell rotation mechanism 3 is provided with a plastic shell rotating clamping jaw 31, and the plastic shell rotating clamping jaw 31 is used to clamp the outer conductor plastic shell and rotate it at an angle to achieve the preset direction adjustment of the plastic shell before assembly. The plastic shell transfer mechanism 54 is arranged between the plastic shell rotation mechanism 3 and the plastic shell installation mechanism 2 (i.e., the installation station), and is provided with a plastic shell transfer clamping jaw 41, and the plastic shell transfer clamping jaw 41 is used to transfer the rotated plastic shell from the rotation station to the installation station. As Figure 1 As shown, the molded shell installation jaws 21, the molded shell rotating jaws 31, and the molded shell transfer jaws 41 are all provided with reserved openings a adapted to the outer conductor molded shell to improve the clamping fit and positioning accuracy. During operation, the terminal end of the wire harness to be processed is inserted into the terminal fixing member 12, and then the harness jaws 11 are activated to clamp the wire harness, stabilize its position, and ensure axial concentricity; the molded shell rotating jaws 31 are activated to clamp the outer conductor molded shell and rotate it as needed to achieve the preset installation direction; after the rotation is completed, the molded shell is transferred from the molded shell rotating mechanism 3 to the molded shell installation jaws 21 of the molded shell installation mechanism 2 through the molded shell transfer jaws 41; the molded shell installation jaws 21 are activated to push the outer conductor molded shell that has been aligned to the port position of the harness terminal.

[0024] In the above-described embodiment, the present invention improves the alignment accuracy of the wire harness and the outer conductor housing during assembly by coaxially arranging the wire harness clamping jaws 11 and the terminal retaining member 12, thereby preventing offset and skew. Furthermore, the provision of the housing installation jaws 21, the housing rotation jaws 31, and the housing transfer jaws 41 enables multi-station automatic transfer and positioning of the outer conductor housing. Compared to the prior art, this fully automates the entire process of gripping, rotating, adjusting, and positioning the outer conductor housing, reducing manual intervention and improving assembly efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment of the present invention, the harness clamping jaws 11 are used to clamp the harness to be processed. The harness clamping mechanism 1 is configured so that the harness's terminal openings are inserted into the terminal retainer 12 before the harness's clamping jaws 11 clamp the harness. This arrangement positions the harness's terminal openings first, followed by clamping of the harness itself. This ensures that the harness is axially positioned first and then clamped, achieving accurate pre-positioning and clamping.

[0026] Furthermore, a guide groove 12a is provided on one side of the terminal fixing member 12 facing the harness clamping claw 11. Figure 2 As shown, guide groove 12a serves a guiding function and can be configured in an inverted V-shape or circular arc structure with a certain closing angle. Guide groove 12a is used to guide the insertion force direction and posture of the wire harness when the wire harness terminal to be processed is inserted into the terminal retainer 12, allowing the terminal opening to be inserted smoothly along the preset trajectory without jamming or positional deviation. In this embodiment, guide groove 12a cooperates with the clamping action of the wire harness clamping claw 11, further enhancing the positioning stability and assembly reliability of the entire wire harness clamping mechanism 1.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, the molded case mounting mechanism 2 further includes a mounting drive 22, a first slide rail 23 and a first slider 24. The molded case mounting jaw 21 is mounted on the first slider 24. The first slider 24 is adapted to the first slide rail 23. The mounting drive 22 drives the first slider 24 to reciprocate on the first slide rail 23. Figure 3 As shown, the first slider 24 serves as the mounting base of the mounting jaw, and the molded shell mounting jaw 21 is fixedly arranged on the first slider 24. The first slide rail 23 is used to provide a linear guide for the first slider 24. The first slider 24 matches the structure of the first slide rail 23, so that the first slider 24 can slide stably along the direction of the first slide rail 23. The mounting drive 22 is connected to the first slider 24 and is used to drive it to reciprocate on the first slide rail 23. In this arrangement, the mounting drive 22 drives the first slider 24 to drive the molded shell mounting jaw 21, and realizes the clamping and pushing action of the molded shell in the set direction, thereby completing the installation process of the outer conductor molded shell toward the wiring harness terminal. In this embodiment, by arranging the slide rail, slider and drive device in the molded shell mounting mechanism 2, the stable and controllable reciprocating movement of the molded shell mounting jaw 21 in a specific direction is achieved, thereby improving the stability of the molded shell installation process.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to realize the smooth transfer of the outer conductor plastic shell between different stations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the molded shell transfer mechanism 54 also includes a transfer drive 42, a second slide rail 43 and a second slider 44. The molded shell transfer jaw 41 is mounted on the second slider 44. The second slider 44 is matched with the second slide rail 43. The transfer drive 42 drives the second slider 44 to reciprocate on the second slide rail 43. The second slider 44 serves as the mounting base for the molded shell transfer jaw 41. The molded shell transfer jaw 41 is fixedly mounted on the second slider 44. The second slide rail 43 provides linear guide support for the second slider 44. The structures of the two are matched, so that the second slider 44 can slide along the direction of the second slide rail 43. The transfer drive 42 is used to drive the second slider 44 to achieve reciprocating motion along the second slide rail 43, thereby driving the molded shell transfer jaw 41 to complete actions such as clamping, moving, and releasing. In this embodiment, a transfer drive member 42, a slider and a slide rail structure are provided so that the plastic shell transfer jaw 41 has a controllable linear reciprocating motion capability, thereby realizing the transfer of the outer conductor plastic shell between multiple workstations, effectively avoiding the problems of slipping, dislocation or posture change that may occur during traditional manual transfer or mechanism transition, and improving the continuity of the operation.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to adjust the angle of the outer conductor plastic shell, the plastic shell rotating mechanism 3 further includes a rotating drive 32 and a rotating disk 33. The plastic shell rotating jaw 31 is installed on the rotating disk 33, and the rotating drive 32 drives the rotating disk 33 to rotate. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating disk 33 serves as a supporting structure for mounting the molded case rotating jaw 31. The molded case rotating jaw 31 is mounted on the rotating disk 33 and moves as it rotates. The rotating drive 32 is used to drive the rotating disk 33 to rotate about its axis, thereby driving the outer conductor molded case clamped by the molded case rotating jaw 31 to rotate synchronously, achieving the desired angle adjustment. In this embodiment, the provision of the rotating drive 32 and the rotating disk 33 structure provides the molded case rotating jaw 31 with active rotation adjustment capabilities. While maintaining a stable clamping state for the molded case, precise control of the angular direction is achieved, resolving the assembly difficulties or installation deviations caused by directional errors in traditional assembly.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid collision with related structures during the rotation of the plastic shell, the plastic shell rotation mechanism 3 is configured to be linearly movable. Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The molded shell rotating mechanism 3 also includes a movable drive, a third slide rail 34, and a third slider 35. The rotating disk 33 is mounted on the third slider 35, which is compatible with the third slide rail 34. The movable drive drives the third slider 35 to reciprocate on the third slide rail 34. The third slider 35 serves as the mounting base for the rotating disk 33. The rotating disk 33 is mounted on the third slider 35 and moves integrally with the third slider 35. The third slide rail 34 is structurally compatible with the third slider 35, providing a linear guide for the third slider 35, ensuring smooth sliding along a predetermined direction. The movable drive drives the third slider 35 to reciprocate on the third slide rail 34, driving the rotating disk 33 and the molded shell rotating jaw 31 mounted thereon to perform linear movement. In this embodiment, by providing the third slide rail 34, the third slider 35, and the movable drive, the molded shell rotating mechanism 3 not only has a rotational adjustment function but also achieves linear movement capability, facilitating subsequent assembly or docking with the transmission mechanism 5, and improving the system's spatial adaptability and operational flexibility.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotating disk 33 is set to be annular, and the plastic shell rotating clamp 31 is configured to have its clamping center on the axis of the rotating disk 33. The rotating disk 33 is also provided with a detection mechanism 33a, which is used to monitor the rotation state of the outer conductor plastic shell. Figure 4 As shown, the plastic shell rotating jaw 31 is installed on the rotating disk 33 and is configured so that its clamping center coincides with the axis of the rotating disk 33. That is, the outer conductor plastic shell clamped by the plastic shell rotating jaw 31 is at the rotation center position, ensuring that there is no radial deviation during the rotation process. The rotating disk 33 is designed as a circular ring structure, which is hollow. The inner ring area of ​​the rotating disk 33 is provided with a detection mechanism 33a for real-time monitoring of the angle, position or state changes of the outer conductor plastic shell during the rotation process. The detection mechanism 33a may include an angle sensor, a position detection component, etc. In this embodiment, by integrating the detection mechanism 33a inside the rotating disk 33, real-time detection and precise control of the rotation angle and state of the plastic shell are achieved, thereby improving the reliability of the operation and the intelligence level of the overall assembly process.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, a conveying mechanism is further included, which is provided with a conveyor belt 51 and a conveyor drive. The outer conductor plastic shell is placed on the conveyor belt 51. The plastic shell rotating mechanism 3 is configured to clamp the outer conductor plastic shell on the conveyor belt 51. The conveyor drive drives the conveyor belt 51 to rotate. Figure 1As shown, the conveyor belt 51 is used to carry multiple outer conductor plastic shells and transport them to the designated workstations in sequence. The transmission drive drives the conveyor belt 51 to rotate along the set path, and can be a stepper motor, a servo motor or a pneumatic drive device. The outer conductor plastic shells are placed on the conveyor belt 51, which can be in a single row or multiple rows, and additional limiting structures or brackets can be provided to maintain stability. During operation, the plastic shell rotating mechanism 3 is configured to be able to clamp the outer conductor plastic shell on the conveyor belt 51, that is, when the conveyor belt 51 transports the plastic shell to the clamping position, the plastic shell rotating claw 31 completes the clamping action and enters the next rotation adjustment step. In this embodiment, by providing a transmission mechanism composed of a conveyor belt 51 and a transmission drive, automatic feeding of the outer conductor plastic shell is achieved, which significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation and improves the continuous operation capacity of the production line and the overall production efficiency.
