Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wire harness production, in particular to a wire harness feeding device with wire harness clamping protection. Background Art

[0002] Wire harnesses are key components in electronic circuit product systems. They are typically assembled from multiple wire harness units, available in various lengths and types. Wire harness production involves cutting raw wires of varying sizes and colors to length before assembling them. These raw wires are typically wound onto reels, which are then mounted on a feed drum for continuous, rotating feeding.

[0003] In addition to single, continuous wire harness coils, wire harness reels also exist, which are made by splicing multiple single wire harnesses together. While these types of wire harness reels have relatively low raw material costs, they leave gaps at the splices, rendering the wire harness in this area unusable and requiring workers to find and remove it. Furthermore, these types of wire harnesses are prone to unexpected knots or partial bends during transport, causing the harness to become larger in certain areas. This can easily cause the harness to break or damage guides when the wire is fed forward. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model proposes a wire harness feeding device with wire harness clamping protection, comprising: a workbench 10, a control center, and a feeding guide frame 20, a feeding assembly 30, a cutting assembly 40 and a wire clamping protection assembly 50 arranged on the workbench 10;

[0029] The feeding guide frame 20 is provided with a guide member 21 for guiding the wire harness to the workbench 10; the feeding assembly 30 includes a pressing wheel 31 and a feeding roller 32; the pressing wheel 31 can press the wire harness toward the feeding roller 32 and feed the wire harness forward; the cutting assembly 40 can cut the wire harness;

[0030] The wire-stuck protection assembly 50 includes a guide seat 51, a guide plate 52, a connecting column 53 and a return spring 54; one end of the connecting column 53 is telescopically inserted into the guide seat 51, and the other end is connected to the guide plate 52; a return spring 54 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting column 53; the wiring harness can pass through the guide plate 52, the connecting column 53 and the guide seat 51 in sequence; the guide seat 51 is provided with a micro switch 55; when there is a wire jam in the wiring harness, the knot cannot pass through the guide plate 52, and pushes the guide plate 52 toward the guide seat 51 to trigger the micro switch 55, and feedback the signal to the control center.

[0031] In the present invention, when there is a wire jam in the wiring harness, the knot cannot pass through the guide plate 52, and the guide plate 52 is pushed toward the guide seat 51 to trigger the micro switch 55, and the signal is fed back to the control center; the control center can pause the feeding equipment in time, and send out a light or sound alarm signal to remind the operator to come and deal with the wiring harness knot phenomenon, or cut the wiring harness and reorganize the feeding wiring harness; quickly respond and feedback the wiring harness knot phenomenon, effectively avoiding tearing the wiring harness or damaging the guide part 21.

[0032] Specifically, in order to buffer the movement of the guide plate 52 and prevent the guide plate 52 from quickly hitting the micro switch 55 and being damaged, an elastic buffer block 56 is provided on the side of the guide base 51 facing the guide plate 52 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the guide seat 51 is provided with a guide channel; the connecting post 53 is provided through the guide channel and is threadedly connected to a locking nut 57. The locking nut can lock the connecting post 53 to prevent the connecting post 53 from being separated from the guide seat 51.

[0034] In this embodiment, the workbench 10 is also equipped with a fracture detection assembly 60; the fracture detection assembly 60 includes a proximity switch 61, which can detect metal products passing through the proximity switch 61 and feedback a signal to the control center. If a joint fracture occurs during the continuous feeding of the wire harness reel, the joint is not wrapped with protective adhesive, and the metal core is exposed. This will be detected by the metal proximity switch 61. The control center determines the length of the joint fracture based on the feeding speed and the fracture detection time. It then controls the cutting assembly 40 to cut the material at the fracture, and can stop the machine to prompt the operator to select the broken material.

[0035] Specifically, in order to facilitate the passage of the wiring harness and uniformly detect whether there are defective products with gaps in the interface or protective layer from a circumferential direction, the proximity switch 61 is an annular proximity switch 61 with an annular channel.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of detection and reduce misjudgment and incorrect judgment of the break length, two proximity switches 61 are arranged at intervals along the feeding direction of the wire harness to perform two metal exposure detections on the wire harness.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of two proximity switches 61 , the fracture detection assembly 60 is provided with a long strip-shaped detection channel 62 , and the two proximity switches 61 are provided at opposite ends of the detection channel 62 .

[0038] Furthermore, support blocks 63 are provided at the front and rear ends of the detection channel 62, which can lift and support the wiring harness at the front and rear ends of the detection channel 62 to prevent the wiring harness from falling due to gravity and directly touching the contact switch, thereby causing wear and affecting the contact switch.

[0039] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
