Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive wiring harness processing, and more specifically, to a wire feeding fixture for automotive wiring harness processing. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network of automotive circuits; without wiring harnesses, there would be no automotive circuits. A wiring harness is an assembly that connects circuits by crimping copper contact terminals (connectors) to wires and cables, then molding an insulator or adding an outer metal shell, and finally bundling the wires together.

[0003] During automotive wiring harness production, wires and cables are cut to the required specifications. After processing, metal sheets are crimped onto the cable ends and thermoplasticized tubing is applied. The cables are then assembled according to the wiring harness drawings. During assembly, there is a separate work area. At this time, workers need to transport the processed cables to the various wiring harness assembly areas as needed. Traditional cable delivery can only be done by workers pushing carts or using AGVs. This method requires a separate aisle for cable delivery. Alternatively, a circular track can be set up above the workbench for cable delivery. However, if the cable is not removed after it arrives at the workstation, the track will continue to move and the cable cannot be removed later. If the cable is removed directly, a separate space must be made for its placement, making the already congested work area even more inconvenient to operate.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing block is installed on the end face of the end plate, and clamping arms are hinged to both ends of the fixing block. A connecting rod is hinged to both ends of the push block. The end of the connecting rod away from the push block is hinged to the adjacent clamping arm. The clamping arm is arc-shaped, and a roller is rotatably installed inside the end of the clamping arm away from the end plate. The outer wall of the roller protrudes from the inner wall of the clamping arm.

[0022] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a wire feeding fixture for automotive wiring harness processing includes a lifting beam 1, which is fixedly suspended in the workshop. Lifting plates 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lifting beam 1, and a feeding mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the lifting plates 2. A wire feeding mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lifting beam 1, and the wire feeding mechanisms 4 are distributed along the length of the lifting beam 1. In actual use, the lifting beam 1 is fixed directly above the workbench of the workshop production line. Cut cables with metal parts attached to their ends are arranged and fed to the wire feeding mechanism 4 via the feeding mechanism 3. The wire feeding mechanism 4 is positioned directly above the workbench, facilitating the removal of cables required for the current process by the workers. The length of the lifting beam 1 and the number of wire feeding mechanisms 4 can be adjusted according to the length of the workbench of the production line.

[0023] The wire feeding mechanism 4 includes a side frame 5 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lifting beam 1. A rotary motor 6 is installed on the top of the side frame 5, and a lifting frame 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the side frame 5. A reducer 8 is installed on the bottom of the lifting frame 7. The input shaft of the reducer 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 6 through a coupling 9. A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the reducer 8. A turntable 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 10. Several wire feeding frames 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the turntable 11 near the side. A positioning component 13 is also fixedly installed on the top of the turntable 11. The positioning component 13 is arranged one-to-one with the wire feeding frame 12. A wire hanging post 14 is mounted on the wire feeding frame 12. The top of the wire hanging post 14 contacts the positioning component 13. A wire hanging disc 15 is installed at the bottom of the wire hanging post 14. Several hooks 16 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom of the wire hanging disc 15.

[0024] The cables are suspended on the hooks 16, and each cable tray 15 can suspend multiple types of cables at the same time. Then, the cable hanging post 14 with the cables is loaded onto the cable feeding frame 12 located near the feeding mechanism 3 through the feeding mechanism 3. At the same time, the top of the cable hanging post 14 is positioned by the positioning component 13. Then, the rotary motor 6 is started, and the rotary motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate through the reducer 8, thereby realizing the rotation adjustment of the turntable 11. At this time, the position of the cable hanging post 14 with the cables can be adjusted so that the cable hanging post 14 can be moved to the workbench position below, making it convenient for the staff to remove the corresponding cables for wire harness assembly.

[0025] Please see Figures 5 to 10 The wire feeder 12 has a notch 121 at the end away from the turntable 11. An arc-shaped retaining edge 122 is integrally formed on the bottom of the inner wall of the notch 121. An annular plate 141 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the wire hanging post 14. A slot 142 is formed on the outer wall of the wire hanging post 14. When the wire hanging post 14 is positioned inside the notch 121, the annular plate 141 is positioned on top of the wire feeder 12, and the retaining edge 122 is positioned inside the slot 142. This arrangement ensures that the wire hanging post 14 remains relatively stable inside the notch 121 of the wire feeder 12, and further ensures the stability of the wire hanging post 14 when the turntable 11 rotates.

[0026] The inner wall of the wire feeder 12 is symmetrically provided with guide rails 123 along the center, and the outer wall of the wire hanging post 14 is provided with guide grooves 143. The guide grooves 143, in conjunction with the annular plate 141, allow the wire hanging post 14 to be transferred between two wire feeding mechanisms 4, preventing the wire hanging post 14 from falling off when transferred between adjacent wire feeding mechanisms 4. The inner wall of the wire feeder 12 is provided with positioning grooves 124, and the outer wall of the wire hanging post 14 is symmetrically provided with positioning blocks 144 along the center. When the wire hanging post 14 is completely slid into the notch 121, the positioning blocks 144, which are positioned towards the inside of the notch 121, are inserted into the positioning grooves 124. The positioning blocks 144 and the positioning grooves 124 ensure that the wire hanging post 14 remains stable when transferred from the wire feeder 12 on one wire feeding mechanism 4 to the wire feeder 12 on another wire feeding mechanism 4.

[0027] A limiting post 145 is integrally provided at the top end of the hanging post 14. The limiting post 145 contacts the corresponding positioning component 13. The positioning component 13 can position the hanging post 14 through the limiting post 145, so that the hanging post 14 can remain stable within the notch 121. An assembly post 146 is integrally provided at the bottom end of the hanging post 14. The hanging reel 15 is sleeved on the outside of the assembly post 146, and a baffle 147 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the assembly post 146. The diameter of the baffle 147 is larger than the inner diameter of the hanging reel 15. With this configuration, the hanging reel 15 can be detached from the bottom of the limiting post 145, making it convenient to hang the cable at the bottom of the hanging post 14. Furthermore, the hanging reel 15 can rotate outside the limiting post 145, making it easier to pick up and put down the cable on the different hooks 16 on the hanging reel 15.

[0028] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the number of wire feeding mechanisms 4 can be selected and installed according to the length of the actual work area assembly line. The wire feeding mechanism 3 below the hanging plate 2 can send the hanging column 14 with the suspended cable to the wire feeding frame 12 of the wire feeding mechanism 4. The wire feeding frame 12 can change position through the turntable 11, so that the hanging column 14 can be moved to the work area. The hanging column 14 can also be passed between two adjacent wire feeding mechanisms 4, so that the hanging column 14 can be moved to any work station with the required cable. When the cable on the hanging column 14 is used up, it can be unloaded and recycled through the loading mechanism 3, and can be reused repeatedly.

[0029] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 9 to 10In Embodiment 1, the positioning component 13 includes a stand 17 fixedly mounted on the top of the turntable 11. An assembly frame 20 is provided on the outer wall of the stand 17 away from the center of the turntable 11. An end plate 22 is fixedly mounted on one end of the assembly frame 20 away from the stand 17. A first cylinder 21 is installed between the end plate 22 and the assembly frame 20. The output shaft end of the first cylinder 21 passes through the end plate 22, and a push block 25 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the first cylinder 21. The push block 25 can be moved by the first cylinder 21, thereby pushing the limiting post 145 to move, allowing the wire-hanging post 14 to be transferred from one wire feeder 12 to another.

[0030] A fixing block 23 is fixedly installed on the end face of the end plate 22 away from the assembly frame 20. The output shaft of the first cylinder 21 passes through the fixing block 23. Clamping arms 24 are hinged to both ends of the fixing block 23. Connecting rods 26 are hinged to both ends of the push block 25. The end of the connecting rod 26 away from the push block 25 is hinged to the adjacent clamping arm 24. The clamping arm 24 is arc-shaped. When the first cylinder 21 drives the push block 25 to move toward the end plate 22, the two clamping arms 24 will move closer to each other through the connecting rod 26, thereby using the ends of the clamping arms 24 to clamp the limiting post 145, thus limiting the hanging post 14 in the wire feeder 12. When it is necessary to push the hanging post 14 out of the wire feeder 12, the push block 25 moves toward the hanging post 14, and the two clamping arms 24 will move away from each other until the push block 25 contacts the outer wall of the limiting post 145, thus pushing the hanging post 14 out. When the hanging post 14 moves into the notch 121 of another wire feeder 12, the corresponding positioning component 13 of the other wire feeder 12 is activated. The ends of the clamping arms 24 can be used to receive the hanging post 14 that has entered the notch 121 of the wire feeder 12, and the ends of the clamping arms 24 can be used to push the limiting post 145 toward the inside of the notch 121, thus finally achieving positioning.

[0031] A roller 27 is rotatably mounted inside the end of the clamping arm 24 away from the end plate 22, and the outer wall of the roller 27 protrudes from the inner wall of the clamping arm 24. The roller 27 can better push and limit the limiting post 145.

[0032] A vertically arranged first slide rail 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the upright frame 17 away from the center of the turntable 11. A first slide block 19 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 18. An assembly frame 20 is fixedly installed on the first slide block 19. A fixing frame 28 is also fixedly installed on the top of the side wall of the upright frame 17 away from the turntable 11. A second cylinder 29 is installed on the fixing frame 28. A connecting plate 30 is fixedly installed on the top of the assembly frame 20. The output shaft end of the second cylinder 29 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 30. When the second cylinder 29 is activated, it can adjust the height of the assembly frame 20, thereby changing the height of the clamping arm 24. This ensures that the clamping arm 24 is not affected by the other positioning component 13 when locking and limiting the limit post 145.

[0033] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the positioning component 13 of the present invention can not only lock the limiting post 145 with the clamping arm 24 to ensure the stability of the hanging post 14 in the wire feeding frame 12, but also push the limiting post 145 with the push block 25 when the clamping arm 24 is opened, thereby pushing the hanging post 14 out of the notch 121. At the same time, the positioning component 13 on the other side can also be closed by using the arc-shaped clamping arm 24, and push the limiting post 145 into the corresponding wire feeding frame 12 with the roller 27 at the end of the clamping arm 24, and finally make the hanging post 14 enter the corresponding notch 121 and lock it, thereby realizing the transfer of the hanging post 14 between two adjacent wire feeding mechanisms 4.

[0034] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 11 to 13 For Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a mounting bracket 31 fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanging plate 2. A hanging rod 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 31. A vertically arranged strip plate 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanging rod 32. The strip plate 33 is positioned directly opposite the wire feeding mechanism 4. A second slide rail 34 is fixedly installed along its length on the side of the strip plate 33 facing the wire feeding mechanism 4. A second slide block 35 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 34. A transverse sliding plate 36 is fixedly installed on the second slide block 35. A transverse sliding frame 37 is fixedly installed on the side of the transverse sliding plate 36 away from the second slide block 35. An assembly plate 38 is fixedly installed on the top of the transverse sliding frame 37. A wire feeding frame 12 is also fixedly installed on the top of the assembly plate 38 away from the transverse sliding plate 36. A positioning component 13 corresponding to the wire feeding frame 12 is also installed on the assembly plate 38.

[0035] Similarly, the wire feeder 12 and positioning component 13 on the assembly plate 38 can be used to position the hanging post 14 full of cables. Then the second slide block 35 can slide on the second slide rail 34 until the assembly plate 38 is moved close to the wire feeder 4. After that, the hanging post 14 can be transferred between the two wire feeders 12 to realize the feeding. The hanging post 14 can also be removed from the wire feeder 4 on the side in this way.

[0036] A connecting block 39 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the strip plate 33 away from the second slide rail 34. The bottom of the hanging rod 32 is fixedly installed inside the connecting block 39. A feeding motor 40 is installed on the outer side of the strip plate 33 away from the second slide rail 34. The output shaft end of the feeding motor 40 passes through the strip plate 33 and is fixedly installed with a drive pulley 41. A fixed seat 42 is also fixedly installed on the strip plate 33. The fixed seat 42 is located away from the feeding motor 40. An assembly shaft 43 is fixedly installed on the fixed seat 42, which passes through the strip plate 33. A driven pulley 44 is rotatably installed on the assembly shaft 43. The drive pulley 41 and the driven pulley 44 are connected by a transmission belt 45. A fixed plate 46 is fixedly installed on the end face of the transverse plate 36 facing the strip plate 33. A clamping plate 47 is also fixedly installed on the fixed plate 46. The top of the transmission belt 45 is located between the fixed plate 46 and the clamping plate 47, and the transmission belt 45 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 46 through the clamping plate 47.

[0037] Start the feeding motor 40. The feeding motor 40 can drive the transmission belt 45 to move through the driving pulley 41 and the driven pulley 44. The transmission belt 45 then drives the transverse plate 36 to move synchronously through the clamping plate 47 and the fixed plate 46, thereby realizing the horizontal adjustment of the assembly plate 38 and realizing the feeding.

[0038] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the feeding mechanism 3 of the present invention can perform horizontal reciprocating adjustment of the assembly plate 38, and at the same time, the wire feeding frame 12 and the positioning component 13 on the assembly plate 38 can send the hanging post 14 full of cables to the wire feeding mechanism 4 on the side. Similarly, the hanging post 14 after use can be removed from the wire feeding mechanism 4 for easy reuse.

[0039] To facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0040] The number of wire feeding mechanisms 4 provided in this invention can be selected and installed according to the length of the actual work area assembly line. The wire feeding mechanism 3 below the hanging plate 2 can send the hanging column 14 with the suspended cable to the wire feeding frame 12 of the wire feeding mechanism 4. The wire feeding frame 12 can change position through the turntable 11, so that the hanging column 14 can be moved to the work area. The hanging column 14 can also be passed between two adjacent wire feeding mechanisms 4, so that the hanging column 14 can be moved to any work station with the required cable. When the cable on the hanging column 14 is used up, it can be unloaded and recycled through the loading mechanism 3, and can be reused repeatedly.

[0041] The positioning component 13 of this invention can not only lock the limiting post 145 with the clamping arm 24 to ensure the stability of the hanging post 14 in the wire feeder 12, but also push the limiting post 145 with the push block 25 when the clamping arm 24 is opened, thereby pushing the hanging post 14 out of the notch 121. At the same time, the positioning component 13 on the other side can also close with the arc-shaped clamping arm 24, and push the limiting post 145 into the corresponding wire feeder 12 with the roller 27 at the end of the clamping arm 24, and finally make the hanging post 14 enter the corresponding notch 121 and lock it, thereby realizing the transfer of the hanging post 14 between two adjacent wire feeders 4.

[0042] The feeding mechanism 3 of this invention can perform horizontal reciprocating adjustment of the assembly plate 38. At the same time, the wire feeding frame 12 and the positioning component 13 on the assembly plate 38 can send the hanging post 14 full of cables to the wire feeding mechanism 4 on the side. Similarly, the hanging post 14 can be removed from the wire feeding mechanism 4 after use for easy reuse.
