[0032] According to a wire harness sleeve heat shrink machine disclosed in the present invention, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it is used to heat shrink the heat shrink sleeve of the wiring harness, including a mounting plate 101, an adjusting component 102 and a heating component 103, one end of the adjusting component 102 is connected to the mounting plate 101, and the other end is connected to the heating component 103, the adjusting component 102 includes at least one rotating joint 104, which can make the heating component 103 move relative to the mounting plate 101; the heating component 103 includes a carrier 105, a heating fan 106 and an air outlet channel, the carrier 105 is an annular structure that is at least in the shape of an arc, and the air outlet 107 of the air outlet channel is arranged on one side of the inner circumferential wall of the annular structure, and the air outlet 107 is arranged toward the center of the annular structure.
[0033] The output end of the heating fan 106 is connected to the air outlet channel so that the heat generated by the heating fan 106 can flow out through the air outlet 107 of the air outlet channel, so as to heat the sleeve arranged at the center position of the annular structure to make it heat-shrink on the wire harness. The annular structure is driven to move in a plane perpendicular to the sleeve by adjusting the component 102, so that the position of the wire harness installation sleeve is set at the center of the ring, so that the sleeve arranged on the wire harness can evenly obtain the heat output by the heating fan 106, and the quality problems caused by uneven heating of the sleeve caused by manual operation can be avoided. The heat shrinkage of the sleeve is mechanized by a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, and the air outlet time, air outlet heat and air outlet position of the heating fan 106 are controlled as needed to ensure accurate positioning of the wire harness, and the sleeve installed on the wire harness after heat shrinkage shrinks evenly and has a smooth surface without wrinkles. The amount of glue output after curing of the glue-type sleeve can be controlled, so that the sleeve can be heat-shrunk with high quality on the wire harness, thereby improving the quality of the sleeve heat-shrinking sleeve on the wire harness.
[0034] During specific implementation, the sleeve may be a heat shrink tube.
[0035] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple air outlets 107, and the multiple air outlets 107 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner circumferential wall of the annular structure, so that the sleeve receives heat from the air outlets 107 evenly in the circumferential direction, so that the sleeve is evenly heated, so that the sleeve is heat-shrunk and arranged on the wiring harness.
[0036] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet 107 is in the shape of a long strip, and the long strip is extended along the axial direction of the carrier 105. The sleeve can be heated along the axial direction of the sleeve so that the sleeve can be evenly heated in the length direction.
[0037] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the annular structure is a circular ring structure, or the arc-shaped annular structure has a gap 108 for accommodating the wire harness to enter.
[0038] The annular structure is a circular ring structure, and the wire harness can be passed through the center of the circular ring structure, and the air outlet 107 arranged in the circumferential direction of the circular ring structure can be heated in the circumferential direction of the sleeve. With an arc-shaped annular structure, the cable can be placed in the annular structure through the notch 108, which is convenient for replacing the wire harness; at the same time, the notch 108 is arranged between adjacent air outlets 107, which does not affect the uniform spacing of the air outlets 107 in the circumferential direction, and also ensures that the air outlets 107 are evenly spaced, and can be heated in the circumferential direction of the sleeve, so that the sleeve sleeved on the wire harness shrinks evenly after heat shrinkage, and the surface is flat and wrinkle-free.
[0039] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the heating fan 106 is arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the annular structure, the air outlet channel and the air outlet 107 are both arranged on the heating fan 106, a cavity is arranged in the carrier 105, and a connecting opening 109 is opened on the inner wall of the cavity at a position corresponding to the heating fan 106, and the connecting opening 109 is for the electrical connection line of the heating fan 106 to pass through.
[0040] By integrating the heating fan 106, the air outlet channel and the air outlet 107, a predetermined number of heating fans 106 are installed as required to perform heat shrinkage treatment on sleeves of different specifications.

[0042] By providing a plurality of air outlets 107 for one heating fan 106 , the hot air output by the heating fan 106 is transmitted to the air outlets 107 through the cavity, so that each air outlet 107 outputs air with uniform heat.
[0043] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating fan 106 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall or side wall of the annular structure, a cavity is arranged in the carrier 105, a ventilation opening 110 connected to the heating fan 106 is opened at the position corresponding to the heating fan 106 on the cavity, an opening is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the annular structure to form the air outlet 107, and the cavity forms the air outlet channel.
[0044] By arranging the heating fan 106 on the outer wall or side wall of the annular structure, the volume of the annular structure can be reduced, and the hot air provided by multiple heating fans 106 can be evenly transmitted to the air outlet 107 through the cavity arranged in the carrier 105, so that the sleeve can be evenly heat-shrunk in the circumferential direction and the wiring harness can be sleeved with a smooth surface without wrinkles.

[0046] By changing the positional relationship between the first robotic arm 111 and the second robotic arm 112 through the rotating joint 104, the positional relationship of the heating component 103 relative to the mounting plate 101 is changed, so that the position where the sleeve is sleeved on the wiring harness is placed at the axial center position of the annular structure, thereby ensuring that the sleeve is heated evenly, and ensuring that the sleeve shrinks evenly after heat shrinkage and has a smooth surface without wrinkles.
[0047] In a specific implementation, one of the first mechanical arm 111 and the second mechanical arm 112 is connected to the mounting plate 101 via another rotating joint 104, and the other of the two is connected to the carrier 105 of the heating component 103 via another rotating joint 104. In this way, the position adjustment of the carrier 105 relative to the mounting plate 101 is achieved, and the flexibility of position adjustment is enhanced.

[0050] The translation mechanism is used to compensate for the position adjustment that cannot be performed between the first mechanical arm 111 and the second mechanical arm 112, thereby enhancing the applicability of the wire harness tube heat shrink machine.
[0051] According to an embodiment of a wire harness sleeve heat shrinking machine disclosed in the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, an operating window 113 is provided on the outer wall or side wall of the carrier 105, and the operating window 113 adjusts the translation of the fixed part of the mounting plate 101, the rotation of the adjusting component 102, and the temperature, air volume, and whether the heating component 103 is turned on.
[0052] By setting an adjustment button 114 in the adjustment window, the translation of the fixed part of the mounting plate 101 is controlled, the rotation of the adjustment component 102 and the temperature and air volume of the heating component 103 are adjusted, so as to change the position relationship of the wire harness sleeve heat shrink machine relative to the wire harness.
