[0042] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the present utility model with illustrations. For the sake of clear description, many physical details will be described together in the following narrative. However, it should be understood that these physical details are not used to limit the present utility model. That is to say, in some embodiments of the present utility model, these physical details are unnecessary. In addition, for the sake of simplifying the illustrations, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0043] In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions appears to be contradictory or unable to be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , in the existing situation, when multiple points on the wire harness need to be wound with adhesive tape, due to different specification requirements, the length of the adhesive tape and the winding position of the adhesive tape are also different. The manufacturer needs to arrange corresponding tooling positioning jigs according to the wire harness requirements for the convenience of workers when winding the adhesive tape. And situations such as missed winding, wrong winding, and the winding position exceeding the specified range may occur to the workers. And when there are too many winding points, the efficiency and defect rate of the workers increase significantly. Based on this, the present application provides a multi-point automatic winding device, including a frame 1 for support and a winding device 3 installed on the frame 1.

[0045] A load sliding assembly is arranged on the top of the frame 1. The load sliding assembly includes a slide rail arranged on the frame 1 and a carrier plate arranged on the slide rail. One side of the top of the carrier plate is forced to slide on the slide rail through a motor and a synchronous belt;

[0046] A winding device 3 is also arranged on the load sliding assembly;

[0047] The winding device 3 includes a moving module 32. One end of the moving module 32 is provided with a winding head 33. The winding head 33 approaches the wire harness to be wound through the moving module 32;

[0048] The winding device 3 further includes an auxiliary jaw 31, which clamps the wire harness to be wound and is used to send the wire harness to be wound to the cutting area;

[0049] A cutting area is provided at the front end of the winding head 33, and a cutter 34 is provided at the cutting area. The cutter 34 contacts the wire harness to be wound through a telescopic component.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , the frame 1 should ensure its stability and durability, and is usually made of steel or aluminum alloy. The structure at the top of the frame 1 needs to be designed to be able to carry the sliding component and its attached devices.

[0051] The load-bearing sliding component includes a slide rail and a bearing plate. The slide rail is fixed on the frame 1, and the bearing plate is connected by a motor and a synchronous belt, so that it can slide smoothly on the slide rail. The sliding method can be linear sliding or other trajectory sliding (such as an arc trajectory) to adapt to wire harnesses of different specifications.

[0052] The moving module 32 is usually driven by a stepper motor or a servo motor and can move along different directions and speeds on the slide rail of the frame 1. One end of the moving module 32 is connected to the winding head 33, and it can adjust the position and angle of the winding head 33 according to needs, so as to accurately wind different points of the wire harness.

[0053] The winding head 33 is equipped with devices for winding adhesive tape, such as a reel, a guide wheel, etc. The winding head 33 can automatically adjust the tension and winding speed of the adhesive tape to adapt to the requirements of wire harnesses of different specifications.

[0054] The auxiliary jaw 31 is used to fix the wire harness to be wound and ensure that the wire harness does not move or fall off during the winding process. The jaw can be designed as a pneumatic type or a mechanical type and adjusted according to the size and type of the wire harness;

[0055] The jaw fixes the wire harness, and at this time, the set winding head 33 rotates. Therefore, the adhesive tape on it can wind the wire harness.

[0056] The cutting area is set at the front end of the winding head 33. When designing, the coordination with the winding head 33 needs to be considered so that the cutter 34 can accurately contact the adhesive tape part of the wire harness to be wound.

[0057] The cutter 34 is driven by a telescopic component and can be telescoped as needed to cut the adhesive tape. The type of the cutter 34 can be a mechanical knife, a laser knife or a thermal knife, and a suitable cutting method is selected according to the different wire harness and adhesive tape materials. The design of the telescopic component needs to ensure the accuracy and reliability of cutting.

[0058] The automated winding device 3 reduces the manual operation time and increases the production speed. Through automatic sliding and adjustment, the device can quickly switch between different winding requirements for various specifications, thereby reducing the die change time and downtime.

[0059] Since the device can precisely control the position, angle, and speed of the winding head 33, the automated operation can reduce human error, improve the winding accuracy, and ensure the accuracy of the tape winding position.

[0060] The automated clamping and cutting functions reduce the complexity of manual operation, lower the incidence of errors such as missed winding and incorrect winding, and further improve the product quality.

[0061] The automatic winding device 3 can maintain consistent winding quality in mass production, ensuring that each product meets the specification requirements, thereby enhancing the product consistency and reliability.

[0062] By centrally controlling and automatically adjusting each component of the device, the production process becomes smoother and more efficient. For multi-point winding requirements, the device can respond flexibly, reducing the uncertainty during the production process.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the winding device 3 further includes a tape roll and a straightening device. The tape roll is arranged above the moving module 32. One end of the tape roll is wound around the outside of the straightening device and extends to the front end of the cutting knife 34.

[0064] The tape roll is arranged above the moving module 32. The tape roll can be fixed on a bracket, which is installed on the upper part of the frame 1 or above the moving module 32 so that the tape can be smoothly released from the reel. The design of the tape roll should be able to accommodate tape rolls of various lengths and widths and have an adjustment function to adapt to tapes of different specifications.

[0065] The installation position of the tape roll needs to be designed to facilitate the replacement of the tape roll while not interfering with the normal operation of other components. The installation of the reel should ensure that the tape roll can smoothly release the tape during use without winding or jamming.

[0066] The straightening device is used to ensure that the tape remains flat during winding, avoiding wrinkles or unevenness. The straightening device generally includes one or more pairs of tension rollers, which apply appropriate tension when the tape passes through, causing the tape to stretch flatly.

[0067] One end of the adhesive tape roll is wound around the outside of the straightening device, so that the adhesive tape will pass through the straightening device first during the release process, thus ensuring that the state of the adhesive tape is flat before winding. The straightening device can be provided with an adjustment device to control the tension and straightening degree of the adhesive tape and ensure the winding quality.

[0068] The straightened adhesive tape extends to the front end of the cutter 34 to ensure that the adhesive tape can maintain a certain tension before cutting during the winding process, avoiding displacement or misalignment of the adhesive tape during cutting.

[0069] After the adhesive tape is released from the adhesive tape roll, it passes through the straightening device to maintain its tension and flatness, and then is sent to the front end of the cutter 34. After the adhesive tape is wound to the specified position on the wire harness, the cutter 34 cuts through the telescopic assembly.

[0070] The precise control of the straightening device and the stable transmission of the adhesive tape help to improve the cutting accuracy of the cutter 34, ensuring that the adhesive tape can reach the required length and position at each winding point.

[0071] By using the adhesive tape roll and the straightening device during the winding process, the wrinkles and unevenness of the adhesive tape can be effectively prevented. The straightening device ensures that the adhesive tape remains flat during winding, improving the overall quality and aesthetics of the winding.

[0072] The straightened adhesive tape maintains a certain tension before approaching the cutter 34, which helps the cutter 34 to accurately cut the adhesive tape during cutting, avoiding irregular cutting edges and thus improving the cutting accuracy.

[0073] Maintaining the flatness and stability of the adhesive tape can reduce the waste of the adhesive tape. Because the straightening device of the adhesive tape can ensure that the adhesive tape for each winding can be accurately cut to the required length, thus avoiding the waste of excess parts caused by the wrinkling of the adhesive tape.

[0074] The automated adhesive tape release and straightening process reduces the time for manual adjustment of the adhesive tape and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the stable adhesive tape supply and consistent winding quality reduce the downtime and adjustment time during the production process.

[0075] A protective cover 2 is arranged above the frame 1 and outside the winding device 3 for protecting the working area of the cut wire harness.

[0076] A control panel 5 is arranged on the front of the protective cover 2 for controlling the equipment and adjusting parameters.

[0077] The protective cover 2 is arranged above the frame 1 and outside the winding device 3, mainly for protecting the working area of the cut wire harness. The design of the protective cover 2 needs to cover the winding device 3 and its periphery to protect the operator and the equipment from accidental cutting, winding or other mechanical components.

[0078] The protective cover 2 can be made of transparent acrylic material or tempered glass so that the operator can observe the working area through the protective cover 2 without affecting the operation. The edges of the protective cover 2 should be rounded to avoid harm to personnel.

[0079] A safety locking device can be set on the protective cover 2. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the equipment will automatically stop operating to avoid accidents during the operation. At the same time, the protective cover 2 can be designed to be detachable or adjustable for easy equipment maintenance and adjustment.

[0080] The control panel 5 is installed on the front of the protective cover 2 for easy control and parameter adjustment of the equipment by the operator during the work process. The control panel 5 can integrate a touch screen or a button operation interface for setting and modifying the working parameters of the equipment, such as winding speed, tape length, cutting position, etc.

[0081] The touch screen of the control panel 5 can display the real-time equipment status, alarm information and operation prompts to help the operator monitor the working status of the equipment in real time. Buttons and knobs are used to quickly adjust the settings to improve the operation convenience.

[0082] The control panel 5 can be equipped with various communication interfaces, such as USB, network interface, etc., for easy data export, software upgrade and remote control. At the same time, the control panel 5 can also be integrated with the production management system to realize real-time monitoring and analysis of production data.

[0083] The setting of the protective cover 2 effectively protects the operator from direct contact with mechanical parts and potential safety risks, reducing the possibility of accidents during the operation. The safety locking device further improves the operation safety to ensure that the equipment will not run when the protective cover 2 is not fully closed.

[0084] The setting of the control panel 5 enables the operator to conveniently adjust the equipment parameters and monitor the equipment status. The integration of the touch screen and the button operation interface simplifies the operation process and improves the usability of the equipment.

[0085] The use of the protective cover 2 can effectively isolate the noise and dust generated during the cutting and winding processes, improving the working environment. This not only protects the health of the operator but also reduces the pollution of the production environment.

[0086] Wire harness fixing clips 4 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1 located on both sides of the winding device 3. The wire harness fixing clips 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1.

[0087] The front end of the protective cover 2 is in an open shape for placing the wire harness at the wire harness fixing clip 4.

[0088] The wire harness fixing clip 4 is arranged at the top of the frame 1 and on both sides of the winding device 3. The wire harness fixing clips 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1 to ensure the stability of the wire harness during the winding process. These fixing clips are mounted on the frame 1 through support arms or sliding rails and can adjust the clamping position to adapt to wire harnesses of different specifications.

[0089] The fixing clip can adopt designs such as pneumatic jaws, mechanical clips or spring clips, which can firmly clamp the wire harness and will not cause damage to the wire harness during the clamping process. The surface of the fixture usually has an anti-slip design to ensure that the wire harness does not slide.

[0090] The design of the fixing clip should have a certain adjustment range to quickly adapt to wire harnesses of different sizes. The adjustment of the fixture can be completed by manual adjustment or electric drive to improve the operation convenience.

[0091] The front end of the protective cover 2 is open. This design allows the operator to conveniently place the wire harness at the wire harness fixing clip 4.
