[0015] A method for operating a crimping device for connecting a wire harness comprises the following steps: Step 1: A set of brackets supports the wire rack and rotates with the flip seat. The support and pressing assembly pulls the wire so that the wire core enters between the two correction plates. The sheath is then put onto the end of the wire with the help of a robot. Step 2: When entering the correction plate, the industrial camera adjusts the position of the two correction plates on the fixed seat in real time according to the position of the wire core. At this time, the wire core enters the open motion block, and then the correction cylinder drives the corresponding motion block to close and adjust the position of the wire core; Step 3: Clamp the plug-in terminal with the first and second clamps, and change the angle of the plug-in terminal by rotating the cylinder clockwise. The plug-in terminal is concentric with the wire, and the reciprocating cylinder is used to push the loading and moving assembly to slide on the guide rail. The wire core enters the corresponding socket and contacts the conductive end. The electric push rod pushes the rotating column to tighten the wire cap, completing the connection between the wire core and the plug-in terminal. Step 4: Then, push the sheath to wrap around the outside of the wire core through the opened pressing unit. At this time, the inserted end face of the sheath enters the slot, so that the outer convex ring of the end face is engaged with the positioning ring cavity, and the sheath and the wire core end are hot-melted together by the hot pressing block to complete the crimping of the wire harness.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The end of the wire is pulled out, so that the wire core enters between the two correction plates. The corresponding correction plate is controlled individually to slide on the fixed seat to capture the position of the wire core. When the wire core enters the opened motion block, the corresponding motion block is controlled to close by the correction cylinder, and the position of the wire core in the vertical direction is adjusted. The correction plate slides on the corresponding linear slide rail 2 to correct the position of the wire core in the horizontal direction to adapt to the correction and straightening of wire cores in different directions. After the plug-in terminal is loaded through the pressing unit in the loading and moving assembly, the clamping unit and its plug-in terminal are driven to change the angle by rotating the cylinder clockwise. During rotation, the annular groove and the ball head slide, and the reciprocating cylinder pushes the clamping cylinder and the plug-in terminal toward the direction of the wire core, which facilitates the docking and installation of the wire core and the plug-in terminal, thereby improving the pressing efficiency. 2. The linear slide rail drives the movement of the clamping jaw 1 to change the distance between the clamping jaw 1 and the clamping jaw 2 to adapt to the press-fitting of plug-in terminals of different lengths. When clamping, the clamping jaw 1 presses the stepped end face of the plug-in terminal, and the clamping jaw 2 clamps the end face of the plug-in terminal. After the terminal is pushed into contact with the wire core, the electric push rod 1 on the side pushes the sliding plate to slide in the convex seat. The sliding plate drives the rotating column to move outward and contact the wire cap. The two wire caps on one side are tightened at the same time by the synchronously driven rotating column, so that the wire core and the conductive end are firmly connected. 3. Then the pressing unit in the support and pressing assembly releases the pressure on the wire, and the electric push rod 2 pushes the limit column to move in the straight section of the motion groove, which drives the pressing block and the support block to jointly push the sheath to wrap around the outside of the wire core. At this time, the insertion end face of the sheath is sleeved with the stepped end face of the electrical terminal, that is, the outer convex ring protrudes outward and engages with the positioning ring cavity, while the other end of the sheath is still at the end of the wire. By adjusting the cylinder, the two hot pressing blocks are driven closer to the center, and the sheath and the wire end are hot-melted together; 4. By setting up two groups of brackets, when one group of brackets is performing the crimping work of the wire and the power terminal, the other group of brackets takes over to complete the pressing of the wire and the power terminal through the rotation of the flip seat. The wire after crimping is taken out and reloaded into the wire rack. The processing is uninterrupted and continuous during work, which reduces waiting and delays, helps to improve production efficiency and reduce time waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] See Figure 3 As shown, the end face of the correction plate 7 is provided with a protrusion 8, and the bottom surface of the fixed seat 6 is provided with two linear slide rails 16. The correction plate 7 slides on the corresponding linear slide rails 16, and the sliding distance of each correction plate 7 is controlled individually to adapt to the correction and straightening of wire cores in different directions.

[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an electric push rod 17 is installed on the inner wall surface of the boss 8, and a sliding plate 19 is slidingly provided on the inner wall surface of the boss 8. Two rotating columns 20 are installed on the inner side surface of the sliding plate 19. The two rotating columns 20 are synchronously driven by belts. The rotating columns 20 are adapted to the wire caps. The outer side surface of the sliding plate 19 is provided with a limiting slide bar 18 that moves in the correction plate 7. When the wire core contacts the conductive end 24, the electric push rod 17 pushes the sliding plate 19 to slide in the boss 8. The sliding plate 19 drives the rotating column 20 to move outward and contact the wire cap. The two wire caps on one side are tightened at the same time by the synchronously driven rotating column 20, so that the wire core and the conductive end 24 are connected and tightened.

When entering the position of the positioning ring cavity 26, the outer convex ring 10 protrudes outward and engages with the positioning ring cavity 26 to complete the installation of the sheath 9 and the plug-in terminal.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the supporting and pressing assembly includes a turning seat 4 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the processing table 1, and two groups of brackets 5 supporting the wire rack are installed on the top surface of the turning seat 4. The upper end surface of the bracket 5 is provided with a mounting rod 36, and the end surface of the mounting rod 36 is penetrated by a moving groove 38, and a pressing unit in contact with the wire is slidably installed inside the moving groove 38; the bottom surface of the mounting rod 36 is hingedly connected to an electric push rod 2 37, and the pressing unit includes a support block 35, and the upper end surface of the support block 35 is connected to the pressing block 34 through a jacking cylinder, and one side of the support block 35 is fixedly provided with a limiting column 39 sliding in the moving groove 38, and the moving groove 38 is provided with an inclined section and a straight section. The pushing end of the electric push rod 2 37 is hinged to the limiting column 39, and the wire is supported by the wire rack and installed on the bracket 5. When one group of wires approaches the bottom of the fixed seat 6, the other group of wires is installed on the other group of brackets 5, and the end of the wire is loaded into the opened pressing block 34, and then the pressing The clamping block 34 is in contact with the support block 35, and the electric push rod 2 37 pushes the limit post 39 to move in the inclined section of the movement groove 38, driving the holding unit to move together. At this time, the end of the wire is pulled out, so that the wire core enters between the two correction plates 7. When the wire core is connected to the power terminal, the pressing block 34 and the support block 35 release the pressure on the wire, and the electric push rod 2 37 pushes the limit post 39 to move in the straight section of the movement groove 38, and the pressing block 34 and the support block 35 jointly push the sheath 9 to wrap around the outside of the wire core. At this time, the insertion end face of the sheath 9 is socketed with the stepped end face of the power terminal, and then the holding unit is reset to the initial state. After that, through the rotation of the flip seat 4, the other set of brackets 5 relays to complete the pressing of the wire and the power terminal. The wire after crimping is reloaded into the wire rack after taking the material. Uninterrupted and continuous processing during work reduces waiting and delays, which helps to improve production efficiency and reduce time waste.

[0028] A method for operating a crimping device for connecting a wire harness comprises the following steps: Step 1: A set of brackets 5 supports the wire rack and follows the rotation of the flip seat 4. The wire is pulled by the support and pressing assembly so that the core of the wire enters between the two correction plates 7. The sheath 9 is put onto the end of the wire with the help of a robot. Step 2: When entering the correction plate 7, the industrial camera adjusts the position of the two correction plates 7 on the fixed seat 6 in real time according to the position of the wire core. At this time, the wire core enters the opened motion block 22, and then the correction cylinder 21 drives the corresponding motion block 22 to close and adjust the position of the wire core; Step 3: Clamp the plug-in terminal with the clamping jaw 14 and the clamping jaw 2 15. The angle of the plug-in terminal is changed by rotating the rotary cylinder 28 clockwise. The plug-in terminal is concentric with the wire. The reciprocating cylinder 30 is used to push the loading and moving assembly to slide on the guide rail 27. The wire core enters the corresponding jack 23 and contacts the conductive end 24. The electric push rod 17 pushes the rotating column 20 to tighten the wire cap, completing the connection between the wire core and the plug-in terminal. Step 4: Then, the sheath 9 is pushed to wrap around the outside of the wire core through the opened pressing unit. At this time, the inserted end face of the sheath 9 enters the slot 25, so that the outer convex ring 10 of the end face is engaged with the positioning ring cavity 26. The sheath 9 and the end of the wire core are hot-melted together by the hot pressing block 33 to complete the crimping of the wire harness.

[0029] When the present invention is in use, the end of the wire is pulled out so that the wire core enters between the two correction plates 7. The corresponding correction plate 7 is controlled individually to slide on the fixed seat 6 to capture the position of the wire core. When the wire core enters the opened motion block 22, the correction cylinder 21 drives the corresponding motion block 22 to close, and the position of the wire core in the vertical direction is adjusted. The correction plate 7 slides on the corresponding linear slide rail 2 16 to correct the position of the wire core in the horizontal direction to adapt to the correction and straightening of wire cores in different directions. After the plug-in terminal is loaded through the pressing unit in the loading and moving assembly, the rotating cylinder 28 is used to rotate clockwise to drive the clamping unit and its plug-in terminal to change the angle. During rotation, the annular groove 32 slides with the ball head 31, and the reciprocating cylinder 30 pushes the clamping cylinder 11 and the plug-in terminal toward the direction of the wire core, which facilitates the docking and installation of the wire core and the plug-in terminal. The linear slide rail 13 drives the clamping jaw 14 to move, changing the distance between the clamping jaw 14 and the second clamping jaw 15 to adapt to the press-fitting of plug-in terminals of different lengths. When clamping, the clamping jaw 14 is used to press the stepped end face of the plug-in terminal, and the second clamping jaw 15 is used to clamp the end face of the plug-in terminal. After the power terminal is pushed into contact with the wire core, the electric push rod 17 on the side pushes the sliding plate 19 to slide in the convex seat 8. The sliding plate 19 drives the rotating column 20 to move outward and contact the wire cap. The two wire caps on one side are tightened at the same time by the synchronously driven rotating column 20, so that the wire core is firmly connected to the conductive end 24. Then, the pressing unit in the support and pressing assembly releases the pressing of the wire, and the electric push rod 37 pushes the limiting column 39 to move in the straight section of the motion groove 38, which drives the pressing block 34 and the support block 35 to jointly push the sheath 9 to wrap around the outside of the wire core. At this time, the insertion end face of the sheath 9 is sleeved with the stepped end face of the electrical terminal, that is, the outer convex ring 10 protrudes outward and engages with the positioning ring cavity 26, while the other end of the sheath 9 is still at the end of the wire. The two hot pressing blocks 33 are driven toward the center by adjusting the cylinder, and the sheath 9 and the end of the wire are hot-melted together; By setting up two groups of brackets 5, when one group of brackets 5 is performing the crimping work of the wire and the power terminal, the other group of brackets 5 takes over to complete the crimping of the wire and the power terminal through the rotation of the flip seat 4, and the crimped wire is taken out and reloaded into the wire rack, so that the processing is uninterrupted and continuous during operation, which reduces waiting and delays, helps to improve production efficiency and reduce time waste.
