[0029] This embodiment provides a wire harness positioning device, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, which includes a stage 100 for carrying the component to be buckled. Among them, the component to be buckled is provided with a wire harness to be buckled 10, and the buckling part 12 of the wire harness to be buckled 10 includes a substrate 12a and pins 12b provided on the substrate 12a; the side of the stage 100 is provided with a first identification component 200, a second identification component 300, and a clamping component 400. Among them, the first identification component 200 faces the substrate 12a and is used to identify the orientation of the substrate 12a; the second identification component 300 faces the pins 12b and is used to identify the orientation of the pins 12b; the clamping end of the clamping component 400 faces one side in the width direction of the buckling part 12 and is used to clamp the buckling part 12 and move it to the identification range of the first identification component 200.

[0030] This embodiment also provides a wire harness assembly device, which includes a manipulator and the above-mentioned wire harness positioning device. The manipulator is located on the side of the stage 100 in the wire harness positioning device and is used to pick up the buckling part 12 and drive the buckling part 12 to move; the manipulator and the first identification component 200, the second identification component 300, and the clamping component 400 of the wire harness positioning device are all communicatively connected to the control component.

[0031] The wire harness positioning device provided in this embodiment is applied to a wire harness assembly device. Initially, the stage 100 carries a carrier plate 20, and the carrier plate 20 carries the component to be buckled. The component to be buckled is provided with a wire harness to be buckled 10. Specifically, one end of the wire harness to be buckled 10 or a part of the wire harness part 11 has been fixed to the component to be buckled, and the buckling part 12 at the other end extends upward relative to the wire harness part 11 in a freely buckling state; define the thickness direction of the substrate 12a in the buckling part 12 as the X direction, the width direction of the substrate 12a as the Y direction, and the height direction of the substrate 12a as the Z direction. Then, the first identification component 200 and the second identification component 300 are located on both sides of the stage 100 along the X direction, and the first identification component 200 faces the substrate 12a, and the second identification component 300 faces the pins 12b; the clamping component 400 is located on one side of the stage 100 along the Y direction, and its clamping end can clamp or release the buckling part 12.

[0032] In use, when the control component receives an activation signal, it controls the clamping component 400 to roughly and precisely clamp the fastening part 12 and drive it to the recognition range of the first recognition component 200. The first recognition component 200 recognizes the orientation of the substrate 12a and feeds back the recognized first orientation signal to the control component. The control component controls the manipulator to accurately pick up the substrate 12a from an area that will not interfere with the subsequent insertion and fastening of the pins 12b based on the received first orientation signal. Then, it controls the clamping component 400 to release the fastening part 12 and return to the initial avoidance position. Subsequently, the manipulator drives the substrate 12a to the recognition range of the second recognition component 300. The second recognition component 300 recognizes the orientation of the pins 12b and feeds back the recognized second orientation signal to the control component. The control component controls the manipulator to drive the fastening part 12 to perform actions such as flipping and pressing down for fastening along the preset path based on the received second orientation signal and the orientation information of the fastening seat in the to-be-fastened part stored therein, so as to accurately insert the pins 12b into the fastening seat. The control component then controls the manipulator to release the fastening part 12 and return to the initial avoidance position, thus correspondingly completing the fastening operation between the fastening part 12 and the fastening seat.

[0033] Then, the flexible cable positioning device provided in this embodiment is applied to a flexible cable assembly device. On the one hand, the clamping component 400 is used to first clamp the fastening part 12 for positioning, so as to reduce the situation that during the process of the manipulator picking up the fastening part 12, the flexible cable part 11 is prone to bending and deformation, resulting in the force on the fastening part 12 shifting, and thus the firmness of the manipulator picking up the fastening part 12 is poor, which affects the movement and fastening operation of the manipulator driving the fastening part 12. This ensures the picking firmness and stability of the manipulator for the fastening part 12, and ensures the precise and firm fastening of the manipulator driving the fastening part 12 and the fastening seat. On the other hand, the orientation of the substrate 12a is recognized by the first recognition component 200 to improve the position accuracy and firmness of the manipulator picking up the substrate 12a; the orientation of the pins 12b is recognized by the second recognition component 300 to improve the position accuracy and matching degree of the manipulator driving the pins 12b to be fastened to the fastening seat, thus ensuring the precise and firm fastening of the fastening part 12 and the to-be-fastened part. On the third hand, the manipulator, the clamping component 400, the first recognition component 200, and the second recognition component 300 cooperate through the control component to efficiently and precisely complete the fastening assembly of the flexible cable, correspondingly improving the efficiency and yield of the flexible cable assembly and reducing the consumption of manual labor.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping assembly 400 includes a first support 440. The first support 440 is provided with a horizontal driving member 410. The driving end of the horizontal driving member 410 is provided with a clamping lifting driving member 420 for driving the clamping lifting driving member 420 to move towards or away from the carrier 100. The top end of the clamping lifting driving member 420 is provided with a clamping member 430 for driving the clamping member 430 to move up and down. The clamping member 430 is located on one side in the width direction of the fastening portion 12 for clamping the fastening portion 12.

[0035] In use, the carrier 100 and the first support 440 can be fixed to the foundation or the same base. Initially, the horizontal driving member 410 drives the clamping lifting driving member 420 and the clamping member 430 to move away from the carrier 100 along the Y direction until the clamping end of the clamping member 430 reaches the avoidance position outside the carrier 100. When it is necessary to clamp the fastening portion 12, the clamping lifting driving member 420 drives the clamping member 430 to rise to a position higher than the workpiece to be fastened, and the clamping end of the clamping member 430 is in an open state. Then, the horizontal driving member 410 drives the clamping lifting driving member 420 and the clamping member 430 to move towards the carrier 100 along the Y direction until the fastening portion 12 is located between the clamping ends. The clamping assembly 400 drives its clamping ends to move towards each other to clamp the fastening portion 12 on both sides. Subsequently, the clamping lifting driving member 420 drives the clamping member 430 to carry the fastening portion 12 up to the recognition range of the first recognition assembly 200, thereby realizing the positioning of the fastening portion 12, so as to facilitate the precise picking of the fastening portion 12 by the manipulator. After the manipulator picks up the fastening portion 12, the clamping assembly 400 drives its clamping ends to move away from each other to release the fastening portion 12. The horizontal driving member 410 drives the clamping lifting driving member 420 and the clamping member 430 to move away from the carrier 100 along the Y direction to the initial position, and the clamping lifting driving member 420 drives the clamping member 430 to descend to the initial height.

[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the clamping member 430 includes a clamping driving member 431, a first clamping arm 432 and a second clamping arm 433. The first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433 are both arranged at the driving end of the clamping driving member 431 and are arranged along the direction in which the pin 12b faces the substrate 12a. Among them, the clamping wall surface of the first clamping arm 432 includes a limiting area 432a and a clamping area 432b from top to bottom. The limiting area 432a is recessed compared with the clamping area 432b, and the recessed depth is adapted to the length of the pin 12b. The first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433 are arranged along the X direction, and the opposite wall surfaces of the two are used as the clamping wall surfaces. Among them, the clamping wall surface of the first clamping arm 432 is used for clamping the side of the fastening portion 12 where the pin 12b is provided.

[0037] When in use, the clamping driving member 431 drives the first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433 to move away from each other and into an open state. When the buckling portion 12 is located between the first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433, the clamping wall of the first clamping arm 432 faces the pin 12b, and the area where the pin 12b is located corresponds to the limiting area 432a, the area of ​​the substrate 12a different from the pin 12b corresponds to the clamping area 432b, and the clamping wall of the second clamping arm 433 faces the substrate 12a; the clamping driving member 431 drives the first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433 to move toward each other until the clamping wall of the second clamping arm 433 abuts against the side of the substrate 12a away from the pin 12b, and at the same time, the clamping area 432b of the first clamping arm 432 abuts against the pin 12b set on the substrate 12a The side of the substrate 12a is different from the area of ​​the pin 12b. At this time, the pin 12b is accommodated in the accommodating space formed by the depression of the limiting area 432a relative to the clamping area 432b, and preferably the end of the pin 12b facing away from the substrate 12a abuts against the limiting area 432a, thereby achieving a firm clamping of the snap-fitting portion 12, improving the clamping and positioning firmness and stability of the snap-fitting portion 12 by the clamping component 430, and at the same time will not damage the pin 12b. Correspondingly, it further reduces the occurrence of a situation in which the robot picks up the snap-fitting portion 12, such as when the robot adsorbs the side of the substrate 12a away from the pin 12b or clamps the substrate 12a at both ends along the Y direction, the substrate 12a is offset by force, resulting in a poor firmness of the robot picking up the substrate 12a, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the snap-fitting portion 12 picked up by the robot, and ensuring the subsequent snapping accuracy and firmness.

[0038] Specifically, the horizontal driving component 410 may be integrated with a servo motor and a linear module, the clamping and lifting driving component 420 may be an electric slide, and the clamping component 430 may be an electric clamp.

[0039] In this embodiment, the plane where the clamping area 432b is located is used as the reference plane, the contour of the clamping area 432b on the reference plane is the first contour, the projection of the clamping wall surface of the second clamping arm 433 on the reference plane is the second contour, the second contour and the first contour have an overlapping area, and the second contour is not higher than the first contour. The first contour and the second contour have an overlapping area with the projection contour of the vertical reference plane. When clamping, the clamping area 432b of the first clamping arm 432 and the clamping wall surface of the second clamping arm 433 can clamp the two side areas of the substrate 12a located below the pin 12b on both sides of the X direction, thereby ensuring that the first clamping arm 432 and the second clamping arm 433 clamp the substrate 12a; at the same time, the top of the second contour is lower than the top of the limit area 432a, so that the second clamping arm 433 has less shielding on the substrate 12a, so as to ensure that the first recognition component 200 can effectively and accurately recognize the orientation of the substrate 12a.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first recognition component 200 may include a second support 210 disposed on one side of the stage 100 along the X direction and a first visual CCD 220 disposed on the second support 210, wherein the first visual CCD 220 specifically includes a first camera 222, a first lens 223 and a first light source 224 disposed on the second support 210 and sequentially arranged along the X direction, wherein the first light source 224 faces the stage 100, and the first camera 222 is connected to the second support 210 through a first fine-tuning component 221, and the first camera 222 can be focused by the first fine-tuning component 221; Similarly, the second recognition component 300 may include a third support 310 disposed on the other side of the stage 100 along the X direction and a second vision CCD 320 disposed on the third support 310, wherein the second vision CCD 320 specifically includes a second camera 322, a second lens 323 and a second light source 324 disposed on the third support 310 and arranged in sequence along the X direction, wherein the second light source 324 faces the stage 100, and the second camera 322 is connected to the third support 310 via a second fine-tuning component 321, and the second camera 322 can be focused via the second fine-tuning component 321.

[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a positioning assembly 500 is also provided on the side of the carrier 100, and the positioning assembly 500 is used to press the cable arrangement portion 11 of the cable arrangement 10 to be fastened to fit it to the part to be fastened. Before the carrier is installed on the carrier 100 or before the carrier reaches the fastening station, the positioning assembly 500 drives its positioning end to be located at a position to avoid the carrier 100; when the carrier carrying the part to be fastened is installed on the carrier 100, the positioning assembly 500 drives its positioning end to move to the area where the cable arrangement portion 11 of the cable arrangement 10 to be fastened is located above the part to be fastened, and moves downward to press the cable arrangement portion 11 to make it fit tightly to the part to be fastened, thereby preliminarily positioning the cable arrangement portion 11, and correspondingly preliminarily positioning the fastening portion 12 connected to one end of the cable arrangement portion 11, reducing the movable degree of the fastening portion 12, and then reducing the offset of the fastening portion 12, ensuring that the clamping assembly 400 clamps and positions the fastening portion 12.

[0042] When the fastening portion 12 is fastened with the fastening seat, the positioning assembly 500 drives its positioning end to move to a evacuation position to evade the carrier 100, and the carrier carrying the product can be removed or transferred to the next station.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the positioning component 500 includes a positioning lifting drive component 510 provided on the carrier 100. A rotary drive component 520 is provided at the drive end of the positioning lifting drive component 510 for driving the rotary drive component 520 to move up and down; a positioning arm 530 is provided at the top of the rotary drive component 520 for driving the positioning arm 530 to rotate. The positioning arm 530 serves as the positioning end of the positioning component 500 to press down and position the cable portion 11. Initially, the rotary drive component 520 drives the positioning arm 530 to rotate to a position avoiding the carrier 100; when the carrier is installed on the carrier 100 or the carrier is transferred to the buckling station of the carrier 100, the positioning lifting drive component 510 drives the rotary drive component 520 and the positioning arm 530 to rise to a position higher than the carrier and the cable portion 11, and then the rotary drive component 520 drives the positioning arm 530 to rotate so that its end rotates above the cable portion 11. Subsequently, the positioning lifting drive component 510 drives the rotary drive component 520 and the positioning arm 530 to descend until the end of the positioning arm 530 abuts against the cable portion 11 and presses down the cable portion 11 to make it fit against the component to be buckled, thereby realizing the downward pressing and positioning of the cable portion 11.

[0044] After the buckling portion 12 is buckled with the buckling seat, the positioning lifting drive component 510 drives the rotary drive component 520 and the positioning arm 530 to rise to a position higher than the carrier and the cable portion 11, and then the rotary drive component 520 drives the positioning arm 530 to rotate to a position outside the carrier 100. Subsequently, the positioning lifting drive component 510 drives the rotary drive component 520 and the positioning arm 530 to move to the initial height.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the positioning arm 530 includes a first connection section 531, a second connection section 532 and a pressing section 533 along its extending direction. Among them, the first connection section 531 extends horizontally and the end thereof facing away from the second connection section 532 is fixedly connected to the top drive end of the rotary drive component. The second connection section 532 extends downward obliquely in a direction away from the first connection section 531. Both the first connection section 531 and the pressing section 533 extend horizontally, and the second connection section 532 extends downward obliquely from the second connection section 532 to the pressing section 533. When the positioning arm 530 descends to press down the cable portion 11, the height of the second connection section 532 is higher than that of the pressing section 533, which can effectively avoid its interference with the carrier and the component to be buckled, thereby ensuring the effective pressing action of the pressing section 533 on the cable portion 11.

[0046] Wherein, an elastic pressing layer 534 is provided at the bottom of the end of the positioning arm 530 facing away from the rotation driving member 520. During the process that the positioning lifting driving member 510 drives the positioning arm 530 to press down on the cable portion 11 through the rotation driving member 520, the elastic pressing layer 534 is in direct contact with the cable portion 11. When the downward pressing force is relatively large, the elastic pressing layer 534 can be compressed and deformed to buffer the downward pressing force, thereby reducing the occurrence of the situation that the positioning arm 530 applies an excessive downward pressing force to damage the cable portion 11 and the component to be fastened, and correspondingly improving the functionality of the cable positioning device.

[0047] In addition to using the above-mentioned elastic pressing layer 534 to reduce the damage to the cable portion 11 and the component to be fastened during the downward pressing process, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, a pressure sensor 535 is provided at the end of the positioning arm 530 facing away from the rotation driving member 520. The pressure sensor 535 is used to detect the downward pressing force applied by the positioning arm 530 to the cable portion 11. The pressure sensor 535 is communicatively connected to the control component. During the process that the positioning arm 530 presses down on the cable portion 11, the pressure sensor 535 can detect in real time the downward pressing force applied by the positioning arm 530 to the cable portion 11 and feed back the pressure signal to the control component. The control component judges the received pressure signal. When the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is higher than the preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the downward pressing force applied by the positioning arm 530 to the cable portion 11 has reached the requirement, and the control component correspondingly controls the positioning lifting driving member 510 to stop driving the positioning arm 530 to descend, thereby ensuring the firmness of the downward pressing of the positioning arm 530 on the cable portion 11 and effectively reducing the damage of the positioning arm 530 to the cable portion 11 and the component to be fastened.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, a mounting seat 540 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the positioning lifting driving member 510, and the rotation driving member 520 is fixedly arranged on the mounting seat 540; a buffer member 550 is provided on the carrier 100, and the buffer member 550 is used to abut and limit the descending stroke of the mounting seat 540. When it is necessary to press down the cable portion 11, the positioning lifting driving member 510 drives the mounting seat 540, the rotation driving member 520 and the positioning arm 530 to descend until the mounting seat 540 abuts against the buffer member 550. At this time, the buffer member 550 prevents the mounting seat 540 from continuing to descend. At this time, the end of the positioning arm 530 presses down the cable portion 11 and the downward pressing force reaches the target pressure value; then the buffer member 550 and the pressure sensor 535 can perform secondary limitation on the downward pressing force of the positioning assembly 500 on the cable portion 11, thereby further ensuring the downward pressing force of the positioning assembly 500 on the cable portion 11 and reducing the damage to the cable portion 11 and the component to be fastened during its downward pressing process.

[0049] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure and 3 Figure 5As shown, the housing or the stage 100 of the rotation driving component 520 is provided with a limit seat 561. An elastic member 562 is provided on one side of the limit seat 561 facing the positioning arm 530. The elastic member 562 is used to abut against the rotation stroke of the positioning arm 530. When it is necessary to press down the cable part 11, the rotation driving component 520 drives the positioning arm 530 to rotate. When the side part of the positioning arm 530 abuts against the elastic member 562, the rotation driving component 520 stops driving the positioning arm 530. At this time, the end of the positioning arm 530 reaches directly above the cable part 11. Then, the settings of the limit seat 561 and the elastic member 562 can limit the rotation stroke of the rotation driving component 520 to ensure the pressing effect of the positioning arm 530 on the cable part 11, and at the same time reduce the requirement for the driving accuracy of the rotation driving component 520. In addition, using the elastic member 562 to abut against and limit the positioning arm 530 can play a buffering role in the collision of the positioning arm 530 to reduce the adverse effects caused by the rigid collision between the two.
