Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wire harness assembly lines, in particular to an annular slide rail assembly line for a wire harness. Background Art

[0002] The automotive wiring harness is the main network of the automotive circuit. Without the wiring harness, there would be no automotive circuit. The wiring harness refers to the contact terminal (connector) made of copper material, which is crimped with the wires and cables, and then the insulator is plastic-pressed on the outside or a metal shell is added, etc., and the wiring harness is bundled to form a component connecting the circuit. The wiring harness industry chain includes wires and cables, connectors, processing equipment, wiring harness manufacturing and downstream application industries. The wiring harness is widely used and can be used in automobiles, household appliances, computers and communication equipment, various electronic instruments and meters, etc. The automobile body wiring harness connects the entire body and is generally H-shaped. The wiring harnesses need to be connected to each other or between the wiring harnesses and electrical appliances through terminals. The terminals are installed at both ends of the wiring harness, and the terminals need to be tested for conduction to avoid the wiring harness failing to conduct electricity or incorrect connection.

[0003] During conventional wiring harness assembly, the wiring, continuity test, anti-detachment test, glue wrapping and assembly are all performed separately. Therefore, the above operations need to be performed on multiple different assembly lines. Each assembly line has a certain distance, so the displayed assembly needs to be transferred between assembly lines. Such transfer not only increases labor costs, but also increases the time required for assembly. If unqualified products appear, they may need to be returned to the previous process for rework, but the transfer between different assembly lines will increase the time cost of labor costs.
