[0039] Example

[0040] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a docking device for a wire harness and a connector, comprising a base plate 1, a first clamp 2, a second clamp 3, a locking assembly, and a second driving member 6. A track 11 is provided on the surface of the base plate 1, and the track 11 extends along a first direction.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first fixture 2 is slidably mounted on the rail 11 along a first direction. A first clamping groove 21 is provided on the first fixture 2 for accommodating the connector. The shape of the first clamping groove 21 matches the shape of the connector. The first clamping groove 21 includes a first opening 22 located on one end surface of the first fixture 2. The first opening 22 is used to expose the connector's plug-in port, into which the wiring harness is inserted during docking.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the second clamp 3 is fixedly mounted on the substrate 1, and the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are arranged along the first direction. The second clamp 3 is provided with a second clamping groove 31 that passes through the second clamp 3 along the first direction. The wiring harness is placed in the second clamping groove 31. The second clamping groove 31 includes a second opening 32 located on one end face of the second clamp 3, and the first opening 22 is opposite to the second opening 32. When docking the connector and the wiring harness, the first clamp 2 is driven to move along the first direction so that the connector and the wiring harness are close to each other until they are plugged in, completing the docking operation.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, movable grooves 33 are provided on both side walls of the second clamping groove 31. The locking assembly includes a locking tooth 4 and a first drive member 5. The locking tooth 4 is movably mounted in the movable groove 33 and can move in a direction close to or away from the centerline of the second clamping groove 31. When the locking tooth 4 moves toward the centerline of the second clamping groove 31, it can clamp the wiring harness and ensure the stability of the wiring harness during the docking process. The first drive member 5 is connected to the second clamp 3 and is used to drive the locking tooth 4 to move toward the centerline of the second clamping groove 31.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the second driving member 6 is connected to the first clamp 2 and is used to drive the first clamp 2 to move along the first direction.

[0045] This embodiment provides a device for docking a wire harness with a connector. A first clamp 2 holds the connector, while a second clamp 3 holds the wire harness. The first clamp 2 is moved to achieve docking between the two. Locking teeth 4 compress the end of the wire harness, maintaining stability during docking. This docking device ensures accurate docking between the wire harness and connector, is simple and convenient to operate, and can improve work efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and lower production costs.

[0046] Specifically, a driving groove 34 is provided on the top of the second clamp 3. Figure 3 As shown, the drive slot 34 extends toward the base plate until it connects with the movable slot 33. The locking tooth 4 extends into the drive slot 34 and is provided with a first guide bevel 41 at one end. The first driving member 5 includes an extrusion block 51 and an extrusion rod 52. The extrusion block 51 is connected to the end of the extrusion rod 52 and is provided with a second guide bevel 53 that mates with the first guide bevel 41. The extrusion rod 52 is rotatably connected to the second clamp 3, and is configured to rotate to insert the extrusion block 51 into the drive slot 34 and squeeze the locking tooth 4 toward the centerline of the second clamping slot 31. When the extrusion rod 52 is rotated, the extrusion block 51 rotates about the rotation axis and is inserted into the drive slot 34. The first guide bevel 41 mates with the second guide bevel 53, squeezing the locking tooth 4, causing it to move toward the centerline of the second clamping slot 31 and clamp the wiring harness. After the extrusion block 51 is completely inserted into the driving groove 34 , the locking teeth 4 can be kept stable under the pressing action of the extrusion block 51 , thereby maintaining the clamping of the wire harness.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the extrusion rod 52 includes a sub-rod 54 and a main rod 55. The extrusion blocks 51 on either side of the second clamping groove 31 correspond to two sub-rods 54, respectively. The ends of the two sub-rods 54, away from the extrusion blocks 51, are connected to a main rod 55, and a gap corresponding to the second clamping groove 31 is formed between the two sub-rods 54. When the extrusion rod 52 is rotated until the extrusion block 51 is disengaged from the drive groove 34, the extrusion rod 52 can be rotated closer to the first clamp 2. At this point, the wiring harness can be directly passed through the gap and placed into the second clamping groove, facilitating wiring harness placement before docking.

[0048] Specifically, the locking tooth 4 extends into the second clamping groove 31 and is provided with a third guiding inclined surface 42 on the top, so as to facilitate the placement of the wiring harness.

[0049] The first clamp 2 is provided with a plurality of first clamping grooves 21 arranged along a first direction, and the second clamp 3 is provided with a plurality of second clamping grooves 31 arranged along a second direction. The first clamping grooves 21 correspond one to one with the second clamping grooves 31. By providing a plurality of corresponding first clamping grooves 21 and second clamping grooves 31, multiple connectors and wiring harnesses can be docked simultaneously, improving work efficiency.

[0050] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the movable slots 33 between two adjacent second clamping slots 31 are interconnected, and the locking teeth 4 between the two adjacent second clamping slots 31 are connected by a first spring 43. The first spring 43 has an elastic force that forces the two locking teeth 4 to move toward each other. When the extrusion block 51 is not inserted into the drive slot 34, the first spring 43 can retract the locking teeth 4, thereby providing space for the wiring harness. It should be noted that the locking teeth 4 located at the edge can also be connected to the inner wall of the movable slot 33 via a spring to retract the spring.

[0051] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the second driving member 6 includes a moving rod 61, an operating rod 62, and a connecting rod 63. The base plate 1 is provided with a limiting hole 12 extending in the first direction. The moving rod 61 is inserted into the limiting hole 12 and connected to the first clamp 2 when it moves in the first direction. The end of the operating rod 62 is hinged to the base. One end of the connecting rod 63 is hinged to the moving rod 61, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the operating rod 62. When the operating rod 62 is rotated, the moving rod 61 moves in the first direction under the restraint of the limiting hole 12, thereby pushing the first clamp 2 to move. Using the rotating operating rod 62 to drive the movement of the first clamp 2 allows the operator to exert more force and is more convenient to operate compared to directly driving the movement of the first clamp 2.

[0052] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
