[0032] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in combination with the embodiments and drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment:

[0034] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, an angle control tooling for a corrugated cable assembly includes a corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 and a connector fixing seat 2;

[0035] There is one corrugated pipe fixing seat 1, and there are two connector fixing seats 2 which are oppositely arranged on both sides of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1. The corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 and the connector fixing seat 2 form a processing area adapted to the corrugated pipe 3;

[0036] The connector fixing seat 2 is provided with a through hole 201 and a first groove 202. The through hole 201 is used for installing the connector, and the first groove 202 is used for adjusting the angle of the first flange on the connector.

[0037] Among them, during production, the connector is installed on the through hole 201 and can rotate. The direction of the first groove 202 is set according to the angle rotated during actual installation. The connector rotates and drives the first flange to rotate to the corresponding angle. During actual installation, after the corrugated cable assembly is bent, the first flange is aligned with the component to be connected, and there is no need to additionally twist the corrugated cable assembly, so the installation of the corrugated cable assembly is more convenient and fast.

[0038] During the production process, the connector rotates and drives the first flange to rotate to the corresponding angle, and then the first flange is embedded in the first groove 202 to ensure that there will be no accidental disturbance during the processing and ensure the accuracy of the deflection angle of the first flange. Based on this, there is no need to arrange the actual installation tooling, effectively reducing the production cost; the deflection of the first flange does not need to be realized by loading and unloading on the tooling, which can not only reduce the appearance defects caused by bending and rotation, increase the delivery success rate, but also reduce the processing steps and corresponding working hours, improving the production efficiency.

[0039] When working, select one corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 and two connector fixing seats 2, and arrange the processing area according to the length of the corrugated pipe 3. Place a connector on each connector fixing seat 2, rotate the connector and make the first flange align with and be embedded in the first groove 202. Place a corrugated pipe 3 on the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1, and both ends of the corrugated pipe 3 extend to a connector fixing seat 2 respectively. Connect the first flange and the corrugated pipe 3, and move the connector fixing seat 2 outward to facilitate the removal of the corrugated pipe 3. Repeat the above operations to batch produce the corrugated pipe 3.

[0040] It can be seen that the angle control tooling for the corrugated cable assembly realizes the installation of the corrugated pipe 3 in a natural and unforced bending state, and the angle of the first flange is also adjusted to the required angle. There is no need to rotate the corrugated pipe 3 to adjust the angle, and the adjustment difficulty is lower, which helps to save time and manpower.

[0041] It is easy to understand that the angle control tooling for the corrugated cable assembly can also be used for other components that require adjusting the flange angle, and there are no restrictions on the objects to which the angle control tooling for the corrugated cable assembly is applied.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the connector fixing base 2 has two opposite outer surfaces, one of which faces the corrugated pipe 3 and is provided with the first groove 202, and the other faces away from the corrugated pipe 3 and is provided with a pointing groove 203. The pointing groove 203 is used to indicate the inclination direction of the first groove 202.

[0043] Based on the above design scheme, for different installation situations, the angles that the first flange needs to rotate are not the same. Therefore, the inclination angle of the first groove 202 on the connector fixing base 2 also needs to be changed accordingly. In actual use, according to the different angles of the first groove 202, different models of the connector fixing base 2 are manufactured to facilitate the staff to select as needed.

[0044] At the same time, in order to improve the accuracy of the staff's selection, the pointing groove 203 is designed to distinguish different models. It is easy to understand that identifiers, identification patterns, etc. can also be used to replace the pointing groove 203.

[0045] Optionally, the inclination angle of the first groove 202 is 0° - 180°. Generally, the inclination angles of the first groove 202 are 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30° or 45°. It is easy to understand that within the range of 0° - 180°, the first groove 202 can also be inclined to any appropriate angle.

[0046] In a possible implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the corrugated pipe 3 is placed on the processing area. The corrugated pipe 3 includes a first pipe body 31, a connecting portion 32 and a second pipe body 33. The first pipe body 31 is connected to the second pipe body 33 through the connecting portion 32 to form a T-shaped pipe. Connectors are respectively connected to both ends of the first pipe body 31. One end of the second pipe body 33 is connected to the first pipe body 31 through the connecting portion 32, and a second flange is provided at the other end of the second pipe body 33.

[0047] Based on the above design scheme, the corrugated pipe 3 is in a T shape, and both ends are connected through connectors, specifically the first flanges on the connectors. The other end is connected through the second flange. It is easy to understand that the first flange and the second flange can be of the same type to reduce costs.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the upper part of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 is provided with a second groove 101, a first connection groove 102 and a second connection groove 103. The second groove 101 extends upward and communicates with the outside. Correspondingly, the second flange can be inserted into the second groove 101. The two sides of the second groove 101 communicate with the first connection groove 102 and the second connection groove 103 respectively and communicate with the outside.

[0049] Based on the above design scheme, the corrugated pipe 3 is connected to the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 through the second flange, supporting and controlling the height of the corrugated pipe 3, so as to realize the fixation and positioning of the corrugated pipe 3, and improve the accuracy of subsequent processing. One of the first connection groove 102 and the second connection groove 103 is used to place the corrugated pipe 3, and the other can be used to place the cable harness. Correspondingly, the first connection groove 102 and the second connection groove 103 can be constructed into any suitable shape.

[0050] Preferably, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 includes a base 11 and an additional plate 12;

[0051] The upper part of the base 11 is provided with a first groove body and a second groove body that communicate with each other. The first groove body is constructed as the first connection groove 102, and the second groove body is adapted to the additional plate 12;

[0052] The additional plate 12 is detachably connected to the base 11. One outer surface of the additional plate 12 is constructed as a fitting surface connected to the base 11. An inner groove is provided on the fitting surface. A third groove body is provided on the additional plate 12 and is communicated with the inner groove. The third groove body is constructed as the second connection groove 103;

[0053] When the additional plate 12 is inserted into the second groove body and connected to the base 11, the outer surface of the base 11 and the inner groove enclose the second groove 101.

[0054] Based on the above design scheme, the additional plate 12 can be flexibly disassembled and assembled. For second flanges of different sizes, it is only necessary to replace the additional plate 12 with a suitable inner groove size, without replacing the entire corrugated pipe fixing seat 1, which increases the application range of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 and has better practicability.

[0055] It is easy to understand that the additional plate 12 can be connected to the base 11 by any suitable detachable connection method, including but not limited to screw connection and snap connection.

[0056] Preferably, an additional seat 4 is provided at the lower part of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1, and the top surface of the additional seat 4 is configured as a processing surface for placing the corrugated pipe 3. Based on the above design method, on the one hand, the additional seat 4 increases the area of the bottom surface of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1, improving the fixing stability of the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1; on the other hand, the top surface of the additional seat 4 forms a processing surface, assisting in positioning the corrugated pipe 3 and improving the quality of subsequent processing.

[0057] It is easy to understand that the additional seat 4 and the corrugated pipe fixing seat 1 can be configured in any suitable shape, including but not limited to L-shaped and inverted T-shaped.

[0058] Based on the above corrugated pipe cable assembly angle control tooling, this embodiment introduces a cable processing device, and the cable processing device includes the above corrugated pipe cable assembly angle control tooling. Based on this, the cable processing device realizes the adjustment of the angle of the first flange, so that the cable assembly can be connected without the corrugated pipe 3 being twisted, which is more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving during installation, and has better usability.

[0059] This embodiment also introduces a cable processing system, and the cable processing system includes the above cable processing device. Based on this, any suitable functional modules can be set in the cable processing system, with rich functions, which helps to improve the quality of cable processing, and the functional modules can select any suitable existing equipment, with a wide selection range.

[0060] The above specific embodiments have further elaborated on the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
