[0025] The outer wall of the frame 1 is provided with a mounting frame 9, and the outer walls of both sides of the mounting frame 9 are provided with a moving groove 13. The inner wall of the moving groove 13 is slidably connected with a moving block 14. The outer walls of the moving block 14 are fixedly connected with a horizontal plate 17.

The outer wall of the horizontal plate 17 is provided with a strip groove 18. The inner wall of the strip groove 18 is plugged with a screw 19. The outer wall of the screw 19 is threadedly connected with a nut 20. The bottom outer wall of the nut 20 abuts against the top outer wall of the mounting frame 9. The bottom end of the screw 19 is fixedly connected with a partition plate 21. The partition plate 21 is plugged into the partition groove 8 on the partition plate 7. A rectangular partition space is formed between the partition plate 21 and the outer wall of the partition plate 7;

[0026] The top outer wall of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the second mounting frame 22, and the top outer wall of the second mounting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the visual sensor 23. The visual sensor 23, the motor 1 4, and the motor 2 16 are all electrically connected to the control device.

[0027] In this embodiment, the screw 19 is inserted into the strip groove 18, and after adjusting the position, the nut 20 is tightened, which indirectly realizes the installation of the partition plate 21. The motor 2 16 is started to drive the screw rod 15 to rotate, and the screw rod 15 drives the moving block 14 to move in the moving groove 13. The moving block 14 drives the cross plate 17 to move accordingly, and the cross plate 17 drives the partition plate 2 21 to move; when the wire harness needs to be transported, the partition plate 21 is moved downward so that the partition plate 21 is plugged into the partition plate 1 7; the wire harness is placed in the rectangular separation space formed by the partition plate 21 and the partition plate 1 7 to ensure that the wire harness maintains a certain distance during the transportation process to avoid the entanglement and accumulation of the wire harness, and the conveyor belt 3 is started to realize the transportation of the wire harness.

[0028] A vision sensor 23 mounted atop mounting frame 22 monitors the wire harnesses on conveyor belt 3, capturing real-time image information on conveyor belt 3. Through its connection to a control device, it monitors the position, quantity, and removal status of the wire harnesses beneath mounting frame 22. The vision sensor 23 transmits this information to the control device, which determines the status of the wire harnesses and responds accordingly. When it detects that all the wire harnesses within the rectangular compartment beneath the vision sensor 23 have been removed, a start command is triggered, automatically activating conveyor belt 3 and smoothly and accurately conveying the next wire harness within the rectangular compartment to the designated location beneath mounting frame 22. When the next wire harness within the rectangular compartment reaches the bottom of the vision sensor 23, a stop command is triggered, causing the control device to stop conveyor belt 3, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production process and avoiding unnecessary idling and energy consumption.

[0029] Among them, the outer side of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with a motor 4, a transmission mechanism is provided between the motor 4 and the conveyor belt 3, and the motor 4 and the conveyor belt 3 are driven by the transmission device.

[0031] In this embodiment, the motor 1 4 is started by the control device, and the rotating roller 2 is driven to rotate through the transmission mechanism. When the rotating roller 2 rotates, the conveyor belt 3 also moves accordingly, thereby realizing the transportation of the wire harness.

[0033] In this embodiment, by rotating the adjusting screw 12, the limit plate 11 can be driven to slide in the slide groove. When the limit plate 11 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting frame 9, the connection and fixation of the splint 10 and the mounting frame 9 are achieved, thereby facilitating the fixation of the mounting frame 9.

[0034] Among them, the partition plates 7 are evenly distributed in an array on the conveyor belt 3, and the partition grooves 8 are evenly distributed in an array on the partition plates 7.

[0035] The width of the separation groove 8 is adapted to the width of the second separation plate 21 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the width of the partition groove 8 is adapted to the width of the partition plate 21, which facilitates the plugging of the partition plate 21 and the partition plate 1 7; the longitudinal partition plate 21 and the transverse partition plate 1 7 form a plurality of rectangular partition spaces, and each rectangular partition space becomes an independent storage unit for the wire harness.

[0037] Working Principle: Insert screw 19 into strip groove 18, adjust the position, and tighten nut 20, indirectly achieving the installation of partition plate 21. Start motor 2 16 to rotate screw 15, which drives moving block 14 to move within moving groove 13.

When the wire harness needs to be transported, move partition plate 2 21 downward so that partition plate 2 21 is plugged into partition plate 1 7. Place the wire harness in the rectangular separation space formed by partition plate 2 21 and partition plate 1 7, ensuring that the wire harness maintains a certain distance during transportation to prevent entanglement and accumulation. Start motor 1 4 through the control device, and drive rotating roller 2 to rotate through the transmission mechanism. When rotating roller 2 rotates, conveyor belt 3 also moves, thereby achieving wire harness transportation.

[0038] The visual sensor 23 mounted on top of the second mounting frame 22 is used to monitor the wire harnesses on the conveyor belt 3, capturing image information on the conveyor belt 3 in real time. Through connection with the control device, it monitors the position, quantity, and whether the wire harnesses below the second mounting frame 22 have been removed. The visual sensor 23 transmits the monitored information to the control device, which determines the status of the wire harnesses and responds accordingly. When it is detected that all the wire harnesses in the rectangular separation space below the visual sensor 23 have been removed, a command to start the conveyor belt 3 is triggered, and the conveyor belt 3 is started, conveying the wire harnesses in the next rectangular separation space to the designated mounting frame 22 and below the visual sensor 23. The stop command is triggered, and the control device stops the conveyor belt 3 to avoid unnecessary idling and energy consumption.
