[0021] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a core arrangement robot, which acts on multi-core cables, including a clamping component 1 that can clamp and loosen the cable, a core pressing component 2 that can press the cores at the end of the cable to arrange them in rows, and a wire arrangement clamp component 3. The wire arrangement clamp component 3 includes a wire arrangement seat 31, and the wire arrangement seat 31 is provided with a plurality of wire arrangement grooves 32 that can accommodate the wire cores. The robot also includes a driving component 4 that can drive the wire arrangement clamp component 3 to move so that the wire cores enter the wire arrangement grooves 32.

[0023] The clamping assembly 1 is responsible for clamping and loosening multi-core cables. The clamping assembly 1 can drive the cables to move with the clamping assembly 1, thereby transporting the cables to different workstations. The wire core pressing assembly 2 can apply pressure to the wire cores at the ends of the cables, so that the wire cores are arranged in rows. The wire arrangement clamp assembly 3 is provided with a number of wire arrangement grooves 32 that can accommodate wire cores. Driven by the driving assembly 4, the wire arrangement clamp assembly 3 accommodates the already arranged wire cores, making it easier to place the wire cores in the jig in an orderly manner. When in use, first place the core arrangement manipulator at the wire taking station, then apply pressure to the wire cores at the ends of the cables through the wire core pressing assembly 2, so that the gathered wire cores at the ends of the cables are arranged in rows, and then drive the wire arrangement clamp assembly 3 to move through the driving assembly 4, so that the wire cores enter the wire arrangement grooves 32. Then cancel the pressure of the core pressing component 2 on the core at the end of the cable, clamp the cable through the clamping component 1, and place the core arranging robot at the installation station, align the core in the cable arranging groove 32 with the cable arranging position in the jig, release the clamping component 1 on the cable, and place the core into the cable arranging position in the jig to complete the core arranging operation.

[0024] Through the coordinated operation of the clamping component 1, the wire core pressing component 2, the wire arrangement clamp component 3, and the driving component 4, production efficiency is improved, labor costs are reduced, and the stability of product quality is improved.

[0025] The driving assembly 4 includes a first driving member 41 and a pressing block 5 that can be driven by the first driving member 41 to press the cable tray 31 so that each cable core pressed into a row by the cable core pressing assembly 2 can be aligned with a different cable tray 32 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the first driving member 41 is a downward-pressing cylinder. When the first driving member 41 is activated, the downward-pressing cylinder applies downward pressure, driving the cable tray 31 downward through the pressing block 5. The wire cores, which are pressed and arranged in a row by the wire core pressing assembly 2, are guided to align with different cable tray troughs 32 as the cable tray 31 moves downward. By driving the cable tray 31 with the first driving member 41, each wire core is aligned with a different cable tray trough 32, achieving the purpose of cable arrangement.

[0027] A pushing surface 51 is provided at the lower part of the pressure block 5, and the driving assembly 4 also includes a second driving member 42 that can drive the cable clamp assembly 3 to move in the front-to-back direction. A top pressing portion 33 is provided on the upper part of the cable seat 31, which can cooperate with the pushing surface 51 when the cable clamp assembly 3 moves in the front-to-back direction, thereby allowing the wire core to enter or move away from the cable groove 32.

[0028] In this embodiment, the second drive member 42 is a pneumatic cylinder, and the push surface 51 is a sloped surface inclined in the front-to-back direction. After each wire core is aligned with a different wire trough 32, the second drive member 42 drives the wire clamp assembly 3 in the front-to-back direction, while the pressing portion 33 cooperates with the push surface 51 to drive the wire clamp assembly 3 downward, reducing damage to the wire core caused by forcibly inserting the wire core into the wire trough 32 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, when the wire core is placed in the wiring position of the fixture, the second drive member 42 can drive the wire clamp assembly 3 to move the wire core out of the wire trough 32, preventing the wire clamp assembly 3 from lifting the cable after the robot has installed the cable.

[0029] A mounting groove 34 is defined on the top of the cable tray seat 31 . A rotation shaft 35 is disposed between two side walls of the mounting groove 34 . The pressing portion 33 includes a cable tray bearing 36 disposed in the mounting groove 34 and rotating around the rotation shaft 35 .

[0030] The mounting groove 34 provides a stable mounting environment for the cable traversing bearing 36. The rotating shaft 35 is positioned between the two side walls of the mounting groove 34, ensuring stability and reliability. The arrangement of the cable traversing bearing 36, which rotates about the rotating shaft 35, reduces friction when mating with the push surface 51, extending its service life.

[0031] The wire core pressing assembly 2 includes a wire pressing member 21 and a wire core supporting block 22 for supporting the wire core. A third driving member 23 is provided between the wire pressing member 21 and the wire core supporting block 22 to adjust the relative distance between the two.

[0032] The core support block 22 is used to support the cores extending from the cable, providing a stable support platform for the cores. The wire pressing member 21 can apply pressure to the cores, forcing them to align along the core support block 22. In this embodiment, the third drive member 23 is a core pressing cylinder. The third drive member 23 adjusts the relative distance between the wire pressing member 21 and the core support block 22, thereby controlling the pressure of the wire pressing member 21 on the cores.

[0033] The wire pressing member 21 includes a support base 211, which is rotatably connected to a swing arm 212. The swing arm 212 is provided with a wire pressing rod 213. The swing arm 212 is connected to a buffer spring 214 that can press the swing arm 212 to drive the wire pressing rod 213 to press the wire core.

[0034] A swing arm 212 is pivotally connected to a support base 211 and rotates about a fixed point. A wire pressing rod 213 is mounted on the swing arm, which, through its swinging motion, applies pressure to the wire core. A buffer spring 214 is attached to the swing arm 212, pressing against it to maintain a certain preload. This spring also provides a buffer during the pressing process, preventing excessive pressure from damaging the wire core.

[0035] The cable holder 31 is slidably connected to the support seat 211 along the up and down directions. The upper part of the cable holder 31 is provided with an extension part 37 extending toward the support seat 211 . The upper part of the support seat 211 is provided with a supporting part 2111 that can cooperate with the extension part 37 to limit the downward movement of the cable holder 31.

[0036] The sliding connection between the cable tray 31 and the support base 211 allows for a compact structure between the cable tray 31 and the support base 211, thereby bringing the position of the wire core pressed by the wire pressing rod 213 closer to the cable tray 32, allowing the cable tray 32 to fully accommodate the wire cores arranged in a row under the pressure of the wire pressing rod 213. The extension portion 37 cooperates with the support portion 2111 to achieve the position of the support base 211 by limiting the downward movement of the cable tray 31, preventing the support base 211 from excessively pressing down on the wire cores and damaging them.

[0037] In this embodiment, the manipulator further includes a connecting plate 10, a clamping assembly 1, a first driving member 41, and a second driving member 42 connected to the connecting plate 10, a pressure block 5 fixedly connected to the clamping assembly 1, and the second driving member 42 capable of driving the support base 211 to move in the front-to-back direction. The second driving member 42 provided on the connecting plate 10 drives the support base 211 to move, thereby driving the cable tray 31, which is slidably connected to the support base 211, to move back and forth, thereby causing the cable tray 31 to move back and forth relative to the pressure block 5.

[0038] In the embodiment, the connecting plate 10 is provided with an escape opening 101 for the pressing block 5 to pass through, so as to facilitate the cooperation between the pressing block 5 and the pressing portion 33 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the manipulator further includes a limit cylinder 43 connected to a limit rubber head 431. A limit block 432 is provided on the wire arrangement assembly 2 or the cable clamp assembly 3. When the cable clamp assembly 3 moves to a predetermined distance in the forward and backward directions, the limit rubber head 431 abuts against the limit block 432, thereby limiting its further movement. This acts as a limiter, preventing the cable clamp assembly 3 from exceeding the predetermined range during movement and reducing the risk of equipment damage.

[0040] The cable tray seat 31 forms cable teeth 38 between adjacent cable tray grooves 32, and the cable tray seat 31 is provided with a cable outlet 39 connected to the cable tray grooves 32. The width of the cable teeth 38 gradually decreases from the root to the top, and the width of the cable outlet 39 gradually increases from one end close to the cable tray groove 32 to the end away from the cable tray groove 32.

[0041] The wire arrangement teeth 38 gradually decrease in width from the root to the top, and the smaller width of the top helps to accurately guide each wire core into the corresponding wire arrangement groove 32. As the wire cores move along the wire arrangement teeth 38, the gradually widening roots of the wire arrangement teeth 38 can increase the spacing between the wire cores, promote further separation between the wire cores, and facilitate the installation of the wire cores in the jig. The wire arrangement opening 39 can make it easier for the wire cores to be introduced into the wire arrangement groove 32. Its wider end facilitates the initial alignment of the wire cores. As the wire arrangement seat 31 moves downward, the wire arrangement opening 39 gradually narrows, and the wire cores arranged in a row move closer to the middle, ensuring that the wire cores can smoothly enter the wire arrangement groove 32, reducing the risk of jamming or damage caused by the top pressure between the wire cores and the wire arrangement teeth 38.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cable tray 31 includes a cable tray seat and a cable tray detachably connected to the cable tray seat. The cable tray 32, cable tray teeth 38, and cable tray opening 39 are all provided on the cable tray. This arrangement allows the user to replace the cable tray according to the cable core, enabling the robot to handle a variety of cables of different specifications, enhancing its adaptability and practicality.

[0043] In this embodiment, the wire core support block 22 defines a clearance groove 221 for the downward movement of the cable clamp assembly 3. The provision of the clearance groove 221 allows the wire core support block 22 to support the wire core while providing space for the downward movement of the cable clamp assembly 3. The clearance groove 221 also serves to guide the cable clamp assembly 3, preventing the cable clamp assembly 3 from swinging and thus interfering with the insertion of the wire core into the cable trough 32.

[0044] The manipulator further includes a cable pressing assembly 6 capable of pressing the cable downward. The cable pressing assembly 6 includes a fourth driving member 61 and a wire pressing block 62 that can be driven by the fourth driving member 61 to move downward.

[0045] The cable pressing assembly 6 facilitates the separation of the cable from the manipulator after installation on the fixture. In this embodiment, the fourth drive member 61 is a wire pressing cylinder, and the wire pressing block 62 is a rubber block. The fourth drive member 61 drives the wire pressing block 62 to move downward to press the cable, preventing the cable from being completely removed from the manipulator and continuing to move with the manipulator.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 1 includes a clamping cylinder, and a first clamping jaw 11 and a second clamping jaw 12 connected to the clamping cylinder and driven by the clamping cylinder to perform a clamping action. A cable stop 13 capable of limiting the position of the cable is connected to the first clamping jaw 11 or the second clamping jaw 12. The clamping cylinder controls the opening and closing of the clamping jaws, and the cable stop 13 limits the position of the cable, ensuring that the cable is in the correct position during the clamping and release processes.

[0047] The present utility model also discloses an automatic core arranging machine using the core arranging robot, comprising a wire taking seat 7 and a mounting seat 8. The wire taking seat 7 is provided with a wire clamping block 71 capable of positioning and fixing the cable, and the mounting seat 8 is provided with a guide rail 81 for conveying the jig. The core arranging robot is connected to a fifth driving member 9 capable of transporting the cable from the wire taking seat 7 to the mounting seat 8.

[0048] The wire taking seat 7 is used to place the cables to be processed, and is provided with a wire clamping block 71 for positioning and fixing the cables. A jig can be placed on the mounting seat 8 for the manipulator to install the cables on the jig. The mounting seat 8 is provided with a guide rail 81 to transport the jig after the cables are installed to the next production link. In the embodiment, the wire taking seat 7 and the mounting seat 8 are separately provided, or the wire taking seat 7 and the mounting seat 8 are provided on the same seat body. In the embodiment, the fifth driving member 9 includes a first motor module 91 that can drive the manipulator to move up and down, and a second motor module 92 that can drive the manipulator to move left and right. The first motor module 91 and the second motor module 92 are used to realize the core arranging manipulator to transport the cable of the wire taking seat 7 to the mounting seat 8. The function of automatic core arranging is realized by the wire taking seat 7, the mounting seat 8, the core arranging manipulator, and the fifth driving member 9.

[0049] The specific usage of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] After the cable is pre-processed, it reaches the cable take-up seat 7, where the cable clamping block 71 positions and secures the cable. The manipulator reaches the cable take-up seat 7 via the fifth drive member 9. After adjusting the position of the cable clamp assembly 3 via the second drive member 42, the clamping assembly 1 clamps the cable. The third drive member 23 adjusts the relative distance between the wire pressing member 21 and the wire core support block 22, causing the buffer spring 214 to press the swing arm 212, thereby driving the wire pressing rod 213 to press the wire cores to arrange them in rows. The first driving member 41 applies downward pressure to the pressing block 5, thereby driving the cable tray seat 31 to move downward, and the wire cores arranged in a row are guided through the cable tray opening 39 to align with different cable tray grooves 32. The limiting cylinder 43 works, the limiting rubber head 431 extends, and the second driving member 42 drives the cable clamp assembly 3 to move in the front-back direction. During the movement, the top pressing portion 33 cooperates with the pushing surface 51 to make the cable clamp assembly 3 move further downward, and the cable teeth 38 gradually insert into the gap between the wire cores until the limiting block 432 abuts against the limiting rubber head 431. At this time, the cable tray The core is completed, the wire clamping block 71 releases the fixation of the cable, the fifth drive member 9 drives the manipulator to move to the mounting seat 8 and aligns the wire core with the wire arrangement teeth of the turnover fixture, the first drive member 41 drives the wire arrangement clamp assembly 3 to move downward so that the wire core is arranged into the fixture, the fourth drive member 61 drives the wire pressing block 62 to move downward to press the cable, the limiting cylinder 43 drives the limiting rubber head 431 to reset, the second drive member 42 drives the wire arrangement clamp assembly 3 to move so that the wire core is separated from the manipulator, and the clamping assembly 1 releases the clamping action on the cable, thereby completing an automatic cable arrangement.
