Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, specifically to a cable tie assembly fixture. Background Art

[0002] Car seat cables play a crucial role in automobiles, typically enabling various seat adjustments. To ensure the cables' routing and positioning, they need to be secured, requiring the installation of cable ties. Current cable tie assembly methods rely on manual labor, which presents several challenges during the process:

[0003] 1. When assembling cable ties, the buckles are very tight, making assembly difficult.

[0004] 2. When manually assembling cable ties, a lot of force is required to snap them in, which can hurt your hands;

[0005] 3. Low production efficiency and low output;

[0006] 4. The buckles need to be positioned. The dimensions of each piece must be measured before the buckle can be fastened. If the buckle is fastened by hand, the positioning position will fluctuate greatly after assembly, resulting in poor product consistency. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, and innovatively proposes a cable tie assembly fixture that can automatically snap the buckles onto the pipe, saving manpower and improving efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, this utility model provides a cable tie assembly fixture, including a pressure arm for pressing the buckle and a pressure cylinder. A cable tie fixing base for fixing the buckle is provided at a corresponding position of the pressure arm. A conformal groove for engaging the buckle is provided on the top of the cable tie fixing base. A positioning ruler block is provided on one side of the cable tie fixing base. The top of the positioning ruler block is higher than the top of the cable tie fixing base. The positioning ruler block is used to limit the position of the tube.

[0009] The above solution also includes a workbench, on which the pressure arm, pressure cylinder, cable tie fixing base, and positioning scale stop are all installed;

[0010] The cable tie fixing base, pressure arm, and clamping cylinder are arranged sequentially from front to back on the worktable. The pressure arm is also equipped with a pressure arm base, and the pressure arm is rotatably connected to the pressure arm base via a connecting pin. The extended end of the clamping cylinder is also connected to the pressure arm via a first hinge. A cylinder hinge seat is provided on the worktable, and a second hinge is provided on the housing of the clamping cylinder, which is hinged to the cylinder hinge seat. This design allows all components to be fixed on the worktable for easy movement. The hinged design of the pressure arm also avoids occupying upper space, and the status of the latches can be directly observed for easy confirmation of tightness. The overall design is reasonable.

[0011] In the above scheme: the positioning ruler stop is located on the right side of the cable tie fixing base.

[0012] In the above solution: the positioning ruler block is equipped with a slide rail for adjusting the distance between the positioning ruler block and the cable tie fixing base. The positioning ruler block is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the distance between the positioning ruler block and the cable tie fixing base can be adjusted according to product requirements, thereby adjusting the position of the buckle on the pipe.

[0013] In the above solution: the positioning ruler block has feet extending to the front and rear sides of the slide rail, and the slide rail has grooves on its front and rear sides. The feet have corresponding sliders that engage within the grooves. That is, the grooves are horizontally open, which minimizes the risk of items falling and thus prevents the positioning ruler block from jamming during sliding.

[0014] In the above solution: the top of the cable tie fixing base is provided with a groove for matching the bottom of the tube, so as to avoid the cable tie fixing base from rolling off during the clamping process and improve work efficiency.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the cable tie fixing base can position the buckle and the tube, and in conjunction with the pressure arm, assemble the buckle and the tube together without manual tightening, saving manpower and improving work efficiency. The positioning scale stop can limit the length of the tube that extends, allowing for direct clamping without measurement, ensuring processing quality, minimizing rework, and improving work efficiency.
