Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable processing, in particular to a wire splitting and shaping device. Background Art

[0002] Wire harness splitting is applied to multiple fields and can be applied to electronic devices. The end of the wire harness is divided into two parts for transmitting different signals, such as digital signals and analog signals, or high-level signals and low-level signals. When manual wire splitting is used in wire harness splitting, the wire harness is directly separated manually, but it is easy to damage the wire harness, resulting in waste, and the wire splitting efficiency is low.

[0003] In related technologies, automatic wire splitting devices are used for wire harness splitting. These devices usually include a wire harness sorting module and a wire harness separation module, which can sort and separate the wire harness. For example, some devices use vibration to vibrate the front end of the wire harness as a whole towards the separation module, and then the separation module sucks one of the wires in the wire harness and pulls it out to the side.

[0004] However, the above wire splitting method has problems of damaging the wire harness and affecting the separation accuracy. During the vibration process, if the vibration amplitude or frequency is not properly controlled, it may damage the wires or connectors inside the wire harness, and it is difficult for the separation module to identify and grab the wires, affecting the separation accuracy. Summary of the Utility Model

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 shown in the wire splitting and shaping device, it includes: a clamping mechanism 1 and a wire splitting mechanism 2;

[0030] The clamping mechanism 1 includes clamping claws 11, and the clamping claws 11 are used for clamping and transferring wire harnesses; the clamping claws 11 can adopt adjustable spring claws or pneumatic fixtures to ensure that various types and diameters of wire harnesses can be firmly clamped; the clamping claws 11 can also be parallel claws, equipped with vertical movement driving parts, such as sliders, slide rails, etc., and can also be a robotic arm to realize the clamping and transfer of wire harnesses.

[0031] The wire splitting mechanism 2 is arranged facing the clamping mechanism 1 and includes two wire splitting clamps 21; it should be pointed out here that there are various ways for the wire splitting clamps 21 in the wire splitting mechanism 2 to move. An integral parallel claw can be used, and a claw connected to a slide rail and a slider can also be used. In addition, sensors and controllers can be equipped to make the wire splitting clamps 21 accurately move to the set position.

[0032] Among them, the two wire splitting clips 21 are configured to have parallel wire splitting holes 21a. After the two wire cores are respectively inserted into the two wire splitting holes 21a, the two wire splitting clips 21 move away from each other to a set position. The clamping claws 11 are configured to be able to organize the wire harness when clamping the wire harness, so that the shape of the wire harness can correspond to the shape of the wire splitting holes 21a in the wire splitting clip 21 in the closed state, so that the wire harness can be clamped into the wire splitting holes 21a; compared with the prior art, by setting the wire splitting clips 21 to move away from each other, the wire splitting accuracy is improved and the wire splitting efficiency is improved.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown in, a support frame 3 is provided on one side of the wire splitting mechanism 2, and the support frame 3 is movably connected to the wire splitting mechanism 2. The height of the wire splitting holes 21a of the wire splitting mechanism 2 needs to correspond to the height of the wire harness. When the height of the wire harness changes, the height of the wire splitting mechanism 2 needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the support frame 3 is configured to have a variable height. The specific movable connection method can be that the wire splitting mechanism 2 and the support frame 3 are connected by pins, and multiple holes are designed for the support frame 3, or the wire splitting mechanism 2 and the support frame 3 are slidably connected. For example, a slide rail is installed on the support frame 3, and a slider is provided at one end of the wire splitting mechanism 2 close to the support frame 3. In addition, a limiting device is used to make the connection between the wire splitting mechanism 2 and the support frame 3 more stable, ensuring that the height of the wire splitting holes 21a is consistent with the height of the wire harness. The specific connection method is set by those skilled in the art according to requirements.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown in, the side of the wire splitting mechanism 2 away from the wire splitting holes 21a has a plug pin 22, and the support frame 3 has a jack 31 matching the plug pin 22; the plug pin 22 is configured to be cylindrical or conical with a certain length and diameter, and its material should have sufficient strength to bear the weight of components such as the wire splitting mechanism 2. For connection stability, the surface of the plug pin 22 is anti-slip treated, such as increasing roughness or designing anti-slip textures; the depth of the jack 31 matches the length of the plug pin 22 to ensure connection stability. The position and number of the jacks 31 are designed according to actual needs for connection at different heights or positions; the connection method between the plug pin 22 and the jack 31 makes height adjustment simple and convenient, without complex tools or operation steps.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the clamping jaws 11 are parallel clamping jaws, and there are several tooth-shaped grooves on both sides of the clamping jaws 11. The parallel clamping jaws 11 are designed simply and compactly, which can make the clamping jaws remain parallel when closed, facilitating more stable and accurate clamping of the wire harness. Moreover, due to the simple structure and straight movement trajectory of the clamping jaws 11, the clamping jaws 11 have high positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy, ensuring the accuracy and stability of clamping. The shape and arrangement of the tooth-shaped grooves can increase the roughness of the contact surface between the clamping jaws 11 and the wire harness, thereby increasing the friction force and preventing the wire harness from sliding or loosening during the clamping process.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, a guiding mechanism 4 is provided between the wire splitting mechanism 2 and the clamping jaws 11. The guiding mechanism 4 is movably connected to the support frame 3, and the guiding mechanism 4 clamps the wire harness and moves it. On the basis that the clamping mechanism 1 clamps the wire harness and adjusts the lateral position of the wire harness, the guiding mechanism 4 is configured to move longitudinally to adjust the longitudinal distance of the wire harness, so that the position of the wire harness can be accurately adjusted when it is clamped by the clamping mechanism 1, and the terminal position of the wire harness can correspond to the position of the wire splitting hole 21a in the wire splitting mechanism 2, so as to achieve a better wire splitting effect. It should be noted here that there are various ways for the guiding clamp 41 to be movably connected to the support frame 3, which can be connected by using a clamping member, a pin connection, or a sliding rail and slider connection method. The movable connection between the guiding mechanism 4 and the support frame 3 enables the guiding mechanism 4 to have a wider adjustable height range and can more accurately adjust the height of the wire harness. It should also be noted here that the guiding mechanism 4 has various structural forms, which can be in the form of including a single clamping jaw to lift or lower the position of the wire harness, or can be in the form of including a pair of clamping jaws to adjust the longitudinal position of the wire harness through the adjustment in two directions of the clamping jaws.

[0037] In order to more stably adjust the longitudinal position of the wire harness, in some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown in the figure, the guiding mechanism 4 includes a set of parallel guiding clamps 41. The guiding clamps 41 are provided with guiding wire holes 41a near the position where the wire harness passes through, and the two guiding clamps 41 are configured to approach the wire harness. The parallel arrangement of the wire guiding clamps helps to maintain the straightness and stability of the wire harness during the passing process, reducing the wear and damage caused by the deviation or distortion of the wire harness. Through the movable setting of the guiding mechanism 4, the guiding wire holes 41a can be parallel to and at the same height as the position of the wire splitting hole 21a, providing support and guidance for the wire harness, and the shape of the guiding wire holes 41a of the guiding clamps 41 in the closed state is the same as the shape of the wire splitting hole 21a, which can ensure the neatness of the wire harness.

[0038] In order to improve the wire splitting efficiency and provide a stable support for the bracket 5, in some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a bracket 5 is provided at the lower ends of the clamping mechanism 1 and the wire dividing mechanism 2. A base 6 is provided below the bracket 5, and multiple groups of brackets 5 are arranged in parallel on the base 6. The bracket 5 supports and fixes the wire dividing mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 1 to ensure the stability of the wire dividing mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 1 during operation. The material of the bracket 5 can be metals with high strength and strong load-bearing capacity, such as steel and aluminum alloy, to improve the stability of the device operation. It should also be noted here that the base 6 is made of high-strength materials, such as cast iron, aluminum alloy, steel, etc. The base 6 can bear more gravity, making the wire dividing more stable. Arranging several groups of brackets 5 in parallel can improve the wire dividing efficiency. For example, if an automated wire holding device is used, a row of wire harnesses can be wire-divided simultaneously, improving the wire dividing efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, a power supply 61 is provided on the upper end surface of the base 6. The power supply 61 includes a power supply interface 61a, and the power supply interface 61a is arranged facing outward. Multiple wire dividing mechanisms 2 use the same power supply 61 and power supply interface 61a, which can reduce the cross-winding of power cords and improve the convenience of power supply for the device at the same time.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the structure between the upper and lower plates of the bracket 5 is an O-shaped structure. The bracket 5 with an O-shaped structure design can optimize the internal space while maintaining the structural strength, so that more cables, pipelines or other devices can be accommodated inside the bracket 5, improving the space utilization rate. The bracket 5 with an O-shaped structure design can raise the height of the wire dividing mechanism 2, improve the compactness of the device, reduce the interference with other automatic wire threading devices, and ensure the stable progress of the wire dividing procedure.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, a visual inspection mechanism 32 is provided on the side of the support frame 3 facing the wire dividing mechanism 2. The visual inspection device can be fixedly connected to the support frame 3 as shown in Figure 1 the figure, which has better stability, or can be movably connected to the support frame 3. For example, a robotic arm is used to connect the camera so that the camera faces the wire dividing assembly. The specific connection method is selected by those skilled in the art according to requirements. A light source can be set to reduce the influence of shadows and reflections on the image quality. The visual inspection mechanism 32 can inspect the wire dividing effect after shooting or directly inspect it, and can detect the wire dividing quality of the wire harness in real time, etc., to improve the product quality.

[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
