[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, a device for wrapping copper foil around a wire harness is provided, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 4 The wire harness copper foil wrapping device includes a wire harness clamping module 100, a copper foil conveying module 200, a copper foil cutting module 300, and a copper foil wrapping rotation module 400; wherein,

[0041] The wire harness clamping module 100 is configured to clamp the wire harness 810 to be wrapped with copper foil;

[0042] The copper foil conveying module 200 is configured to convey one end of the copper foil 820 to the corresponding position of the wire harness 810, specifically to the side of the position where the copper foil is to be wrapped on the wire harness 810;

[0043] The copper foil cutting module 300 is configured to cut the copper foil 820.

[0044] The copper foil rotating module 400 includes a first gripper 410 and a rotating mechanism 420. The first gripper 410 is configured to hold the wire harness 810 and the copper foil 820. One side of the copper foil 820 is adhered to the wire harness 810. The rotating mechanism 420 is connected to the first gripper 410 and drives the first gripper 410 to rotate around the axis of the wire harness 810.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, the wire harness clamping module 100 includes a second gripper 110, a third drive mechanism, a fourth drive mechanism, a first slide rail 120, and a second slide rail 130.

[0046] There are two second grippers 110, and the two second grippers 110 are arranged opposite each other.

[0047] The third drive mechanism is connected to the two second grippers 110 and is configured to drive the two second grippers 110 to move closer to or further away from the first slide rail 120 so that the second grippers 110 clamp or release the wire harness 810.

[0048] The first slide rail 120 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 130. The fourth drive mechanism is configured to drive the first slide rail 120 to slide relative to the second slide rail 130, thereby driving the two second grippers 110 to move along the direction close to or away from the axis of the wire harness 810, so as to control the position of the wire harness 810 to be located at the center position of the two second grippers 110, and can also adjust the position of the wire harness 810 to be located at the clamping center position of the first gripper 410.

[0049] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the copper foil cutting module 300 includes a pair of cutter heads 310 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the copper foil 830. The two cutter heads 310 are closed under the drive of a cylinder / electric cylinder or other drive mechanism to cut the copper foil 830, and are switched from closed to open under the drive of a cylinder / electric cylinder or other drive mechanism.

[0050] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the rotating mechanism 420 includes a first motor 421 and a rotating base 422. The rotating base 422 rotates around the axis of the wire harness 810 under the drive of the first motor 421. There are two first grippers 410, which are disposed opposite to each other on the mounting surface of the rotating base 422. The two first grippers 410 can move closer to and further away from the mounting surface. Specifically, the two first grippers 410 are slidably connected to a third slide rail 412 disposed on the rotating base 422.

[0051] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 420 further includes a first driving wheel 423, a conveyor belt 424, and a first driven wheel 425. The first driving wheel 423 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 421. The conveyor belt 424 connects the first driving wheel 423 and the first driven wheel 425. The first driven wheel 425 is connected to the rotating base 422 via a transmission shaft. The transmission principle of the rotating mechanism 420 is as follows: the first motor 421 drives the first driving wheel 423 to rotate, the first driving wheel 423 then drives the first driven wheel 425 to rotate via the conveyor belt 424, and the first driven wheel 425 drives the rotating base 422 to rotate via the transmission shaft, thereby driving the two first grippers 410 disposed on the rotating base 422 to rotate.

[0052] In addition, the copper foil rotating module 400 also includes a tension spring. Figure 5-8 (Not shown) and a fourth drive mechanism (specifically, the two first grippers 410 may be pneumatic grippers), the tension spring being connected to the two first grippers 410 to keep them in a closed state. The fourth drive mechanism is connected to the two first grippers 410 and is configured to drive the two first grippers 410 from a closed state to an open state. That is, in the unventilated state, under the action of the tension spring, the two first grippers 410 are in a clamping state, holding the wire harness 810 and the copper foil 820. Under the action of ventilation, the two first grippers 410 overcome the action of the tension spring and open.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire harness copper foil wrapping device further includes an auxiliary pressing module 500, a lifting drive module 600, a horizontal drive module 700, a first substrate 830, a second substrate 840, and a waste recycling module 900.

[0054] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the auxiliary pressing module 500 includes an upper pressing head 510, a lower pressing head 520, and a first driving mechanism 530. The upper pressing head 510 and the lower pressing head 520 are arranged opposite to each other along the opening and closing direction of the first gripper 410, and the upper pressing head 510 and the lower pressing head 520 are arranged on both sides of the first gripper 410.

[0055] The first driving mechanism 530 is driven and connected to the upper pressure head 510 and the lower pressure head 520 respectively. The first driving mechanism 530 is configured to drive the upper pressure head 510 and the lower pressure head 520 to move towards or away from the first gripper 410. The auxiliary pressing module 500 assists the two first grippers 410 in switching from an open state to a closed clamping state. When the two first grippers 410 initially clamp the wire harness 810 and the copper foil 820, it increases the clamping force of the first grippers 410 on the wire harness 810 and the copper foil 820, so that the adhesive backing of the copper foil 820 is reliably adhered to the wire harness 810. Afterwards, the auxiliary pressing module 500 resets, and the clamping force of the two first grippers 410 on the wire harness 810 and the copper foil 820 decreases, so that the two first grippers 410 smoothly wrap the copper foil 820 around the wire harness 810.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the waste recycling module 900 includes a second motor 910 and a waste recycling wheel assembly. The waste recycling wheel assembly includes a second driving wheel 921 and one or more second driven wheels 922. The second driving wheel 921 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 910.

[0057] The copper foil conveying module 200 includes a conveying wheel 210 for conveying the copper foil 820. The conveying wheel 210 is provided with an annular copper foil tray. During the copper foil feeding process, the conveying wheel 210 rotates to achieve automatic feeding.

[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, the conveying wheel 210 is connected to the second driving wheel 921 via a transmission. In this embodiment, the driving devices for both the copper foil conveying module 200 and the waste recycling module 900 are the second motor 910. In another embodiment of this utility model, the conveying wheel 210 is a driven wheel with a certain rotational resistance, which automatically rotates to cooperate in feeding materials during the horizontal movement of the copper foil conveying module 200 relative to the wire harness.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the copper foil conveying module 200, the copper foil cutting module 300 and the waste recycling module 900 are all disposed on the second substrate 840. The second driving mechanism 850 is configured to drive the second substrate 840 to move in the horizontal direction toward or away from the wire harness 810, thereby realizing the feeding of copper foil and controlling the length of the cut copper foil.

[0060] like Figure 3As shown, the wire harness clamping module 100, copper foil conveying module 200, copper foil cutting module 300, copper foil wrapping rotation module 400, and the second substrate 840 are all mounted on the first substrate 830. The lifting drive module 600 includes a third motor 610, the output shaft of which is fixedly connected to the first substrate 830. The third motor 610 drives the first substrate 830 to move the wire harness clamping module 100, copper foil conveying module 200, copper foil cutting module 300, copper foil wrapping rotation module 400, and the second substrate 840 up or down in the vertical direction.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wire harness clamping module 100, copper foil conveying module 200, copper foil cutting module 300, copper foil wrapping rotation module 400, the first substrate 830, and the second substrate 840 are all mounted on the third substrate ( Figure 1-4 On a (not shown) surface, the third substrate is slidably connected to the fourth substrate 860 via a sliding assembly 720 (slider + rail). The horizontal drive module 700 includes a fourth motor 710, the output shaft of which is fixedly connected to the third substrate. The fourth motor 710 drives the third substrate to move relative to the fourth substrate 860 in a horizontal plane along the sliding assembly 720.

[0062] During application, a copper foil tray made of copper foil 820 is placed on the conveyor wheel 210. The adhesive film attached to the copper foil 820 is wound around the waste recycling wheel assembly. The second drive mechanism 850 drives the copper foil conveying module 200, the copper foil cutting module 300, and the waste recycling module 900 as a whole towards... Figure 3 Move to the left until the copper foil 820, from which the adhesive film has been peeled off, comes directly below the wire harness 810.

[0063] The upper and lower pressure heads in the auxiliary pressing module 500 and the two first grippers 410 in the copper foil wrapping rotating module 400 switch from the open state to the clamping state, and the two first grippers 410 remain in the clamping state.

[0064] According to the required copper foil length for the wire harness, the second drive mechanism 850 drives the copper foil conveying module 200, the copper foil cutting module 300, and the waste recycling module 900 as a whole to... Figure 3 The copper foil moves a corresponding distance to the right. During the process of the copper foil conveying module 200, the copper foil cutting module 300 and the waste recycling module 900 moving to the right as a whole, the copper foil is automatically fed out because one end of the copper foil is held on the wire harness by two first grippers 410.

[0065] Then, the copper foil cutting module 300 controls two cutting heads to cut the copper foil 830, and then the rotating mechanism in the copper foil wrapping rotating module 400 starts working, so as to automatically wrap the copper foil 830 around the wire harness 810. The upper and lower pressing heads in the auxiliary pressing module 500 are reset before the rotating mechanism starts working.

[0066] The wire harness copper foil wrapping device proposed in this utility model can automatically, efficiently and stably complete the wire harness copper foil wrapping process, with high production efficiency, and avoids the uncontrollability of manual operation, thereby improving the stability of the wire harness copper foil wrapping quality.
