[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model discloses a branch cable winding device, comprising:

[0033] The first harness rack 100 includes: a first base plate 110, on which a plurality of first mounting areas for placing harness reels are provided; a plurality of first harness tubes 130 are provided above the first mounting areas, with a first harness space for the harness to pass through formed between two adjacent first harness tubes 130; and a first limiting tube 140 is provided above the first harness space;

[0034] A wire collection pipe 400 is provided on one side of the first harness rack 100. The wire collection pipe 400 has a starting end and an end that are opposite to each other. The wire harness can enter the wire collection pipe 400 from the starting end and exit from the end. The cross-sectional area of the wire collection pipe 400 gradually decreases from the starting end toward the end.

[0035] The winding machine 500 is used for winding the wire harness. The winding machine 500 is disposed on a side of the wire collection tube 400 away from the first wire harness rack 100 .

[0036] Specifically, the wiring harness reel is placed in the first mounting area on the base plate, and the branch cables on the wiring harness reel pass through the first wiring harness space between the two first wiring harness tubes 130, then bypass the first limiting tube 140 and enter the collection tube 400, and finally pass through the collection tube 400 and are wound into shape through the winding machine 500.

[0037] What is important is that the first wire harness rack 100 of the present application includes at least two first wire harness tubes 130, and a first wire harness space is formed between two adjacent first wire harness tubes 130. When the branch cable passes through the first wire harness space, the spiral branch cable contacts the inner sides of the two first wire harness tubes 130. The first wire harness tubes 130 shape the branch cable so that the branch cable can be straight or slightly curved after passing through the first wire harness space, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of multiple branch cables interfering with each other before winding.

[0038] Furthermore, a second wire harness rack 200 is provided between the first wire harness rack 100 and the wire collection tube 400, and the second wire harness rack 200 includes: a second base plate 210, and a plurality of second mounting areas for placing wire harness reels are provided on the second base plate 210; a plurality of second wire harness tubes 230 are provided above the second mounting areas, and a second wire harness space for the wire harness to pass through is formed between two adjacent second wire harness tubes 230; and a second limiting tube 240 is provided above the second wire harness space.

[0039] Specifically, the second wire harness rack 200 of the present application includes at least two second wire harness tubes 230, and a second wire harness space is formed between two adjacent second wire harness tubes 230. When the branch cable passes through the second wire harness space, the spiral branch cable contacts the inner sides of the two second wire harness tubes 230. The second wire harness tubes 230 shape the branch cable so that the branch cable can be in a straight line or slightly curved shape after passing through the second wire harness space, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of multiple branch cables interfering with each other before winding.

[0040] The simultaneous provision of the first harness rack 100 and the second harness rack 200 can increase the number of harness reels, thereby increasing the types of branch cables, and thus being able to wind cables of more specifications and types.

[0041] Furthermore, the widths of the first harness space and the second harness space are both equal to the radius of the harness tray, and two adjacent first harness tubes 130 / second harness tubes 230 are symmetrical about the center of the harness tray.

[0042] Specifically, since the two first wire bundle tubes 130 / the second wire bundle tubes 230 are symmetrical about the center of the wire bundle disk, when the branch cable passes through the first wire bundle space or the second wire bundle space, the two first wire bundle tubes 130 / the two second wire bundle tubes 230 simultaneously exert forces of the same magnitude and opposite directions on the branch cable, so as to plasticize the spiral branch cable into a straight line or a slightly curved shape.

[0043] Furthermore, the height of the first position-limiting tube 140 is higher than the height of the second position-limiting tube 240 .

[0044] Specifically, because the first position-limiting tube 140 is located on the side of the second position-limiting tube 240 away from the winding machine 500, the branch cables on the first position-limiting tube 140 need to pass above or below the second position-limiting tube 240 before reaching the winding machine 500. Therefore, the height of the first position-limiting tube 140 is higher than that of the second position-limiting tube 240, which enables the branch cables on the first position-limiting tube 140 to be staggered in height with the branch cables on the second position-limiting tube 240, thereby preventing the multiple branch cables from interfering with each other in height.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of the first installation areas are arranged along the length direction of the first cable bundle tube 130 , and a plurality of the second installation areas are arranged along the length direction of the second cable bundle tube 230 .

[0046] Furthermore, the first cable harness rack 100 further includes two first side plates 120 , and the first cable harness tube 130 is rotatably connected to the first side plates 120 ;

[0047] A first column is provided on the first side plate 120 , and the first limiting tube 140 is rotatably connected to the first column.

[0048] Furthermore, the second cable harness rack 200 further includes two second side plates 220 , and the second cable harness tube 230 is rotatably connected to the second side plates 220 ;

[0049] A second column is provided on the second side plate 220 , and the second position-limiting tube 240 is rotatably connected to the second column.

[0050] The first wire bundle tube 130, the second wire bundle tube 230, the first position limiting tube 140 and the second position limiting tube 240 can all be rotatably arranged, so that when the branch cable is pulled, the branch cable can drive the first wire bundle tube 130, the second wire bundle tube 230, the first position limiting tube 140 or the second position limiting tube 240 to rotate, so that there is rolling friction between the first wire bundle tube 130, the second wire bundle tube 230, the first position limiting tube 140 or the second position limiting tube 240 and the branch cable, so as to avoid the first wire bundle tube 130, the second wire bundle tube 230, the first position limiting tube 140 or the second position limiting tube 240 scratching the branch cable, and at the same time reduce the resistance that needs to be overcome when pulling the branch cable.

[0051] Furthermore, the cross section of the collection pipe 400 is circular.

[0052] Furthermore, a mounting frame 300 is included. The mounting frame 300 is located on a side of the first harness rack 100 away from the winding machine 500 . The mounting frame 300 is provided with a plurality of mounting rods 310 for mounting the harness reel.

[0053] The mounting frame 300 is provided so that the mounting rod 310 passes through the center hole of the harness reel, thereby hanging the harness reel on the mounting rod 310, increasing the number and types of branch cables and increasing the specifications and types of cables after winding.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0055] In addition, terms such as "first," "second," and "an" in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
