Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harnesses, and more specifically, to a clamping device for automotive wiring harness production lines. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network of automotive circuits; without wiring harnesses, there would be no automotive circuits. A wiring harness is an assembly that connects circuits by crimping copper contact terminals (connectors) to wires and cables, then molding an insulator or adding a metal shell, and finally bundling the wires together.

[0003] Automotive wiring harnesses are often produced using assembly line production methods. From a single cable to the final finished wiring harness, there are multiple processing steps. The transfer of wiring harnesses between different steps is often done manually, which increases the workload of production line workers. For some relatively large wiring harnesses, it is also very inconvenient to rely solely on manual transfer.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device for an automotive wiring harness production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a clamping device for an automotive wiring harness production line includes a table 1. Table legs 2 are fixedly installed at the four bottom corners of the table 1, and a support frame 3 is fixedly installed at the top center of the table 1. An adjusting cylinder 4 is installed at one top end of the support frame 3, and a clamping mechanism 5 is also provided on the top of the support frame 3. The bottom end of the clamping mechanism 5 facing the adjusting cylinder 4 is connected to the adjusting cylinder 4. The clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the wiring harness, and the position of the clamped wiring harness is adjusted by the adjusting cylinder 4, which can reduce the trouble of manually grasping and changing the wiring harness at different workstations.

[0026] The support frame 3 includes a fixed plate 6, with support columns 7 fixedly installed at the four top corners of the fixed plate 6. A horizontal plate 8 is fixedly installed at the top end of the support columns 7. A first slide rail 12, arranged along the length direction, is fixedly installed at the top center of the horizontal plate 8. A clamping mechanism 5 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 12. A mounting bracket 13 is also fixedly installed at one top end of the horizontal plate 8. An adjusting cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 13. The fixed plate 6 has assembly holes 9, and the table 1 also has strip holes 10 arranged along its length direction. The fixed plate 6 is fixedly installed using the assembly holes 9 and the strip holes 10.

[0027] A shelf 11 is provided directly below the tabletop 1. A baffle 14 is fixedly installed at both ends of the first slide rail 12 on the top of the horizontal plate 8. A first anti-collision pin 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the baffle 14, which is directly opposite the clamping mechanism 5.

[0028] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a transverse plate 16, a first slide block 17 fixedly installed at the bottom of the transverse plate 16, the first slide block 17 being slidably installed on the first slide rail 12, a connector 19 fixedly installed at the middle of one end of the transverse plate 16 facing the adjusting cylinder 4, the end of the connector 19 being fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the adjusting cylinder 4, a vertical plate 18 fixedly installed at the top of the transverse plate 16, a power motor 20 fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 18, a turntable 21 fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the power motor 20, and a clamping assembly 22 installed on the side of the turntable 21 away from the power motor 20. By adjusting the cylinder 4, the horizontal plate 16 can be driven to slide on the first slide rail 12, and then the vertical plate 18 of the horizontal plate 16 can be adjusted synchronously. When the vertical plate 18 moves, it will drive the power motor 20 and the turntable 21 and clamping assembly 22 at its output end to move. When the clamping assembly 22 clamps the wire harness, the wire harness can be moved and grasped. Moreover, the power motor 20 can also rotate the clamping assembly 22 through the turntable 21, thereby flipping the wire harness clamped by the clamping assembly 22, so that the angle when clamping and the angle when putting down the wire harness can be adjusted.

[0029] Extension arms 23 are also fixedly installed on the bottom of both sides of the vertical plate 18. The extension arms 23 extend toward the clamping assembly 22, and a second anti-collision pin 24 is fixedly installed at the end of the extension arm 23 away from the vertical plate 18. The second anti-collision pin 24 can play a buffering role when the clamping assembly 22 rotates with the turntable 21.

[0030] The clamping assembly 22 includes a rotating plate 25. A connecting ring 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating plate 25 facing the vertical plate 18. The connecting ring 26 is fixedly connected to the turntable 21. An extension plate 27 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating plate 25 away from the connecting ring 26. A bidirectional cylinder 28 is fixedly installed on one end face of the extension plate 27. Push plates 29 are fixedly installed at the two output shaft ends of the bidirectional cylinder 28. A clamping arm 30 is fixedly installed on the end face of the push plate 29 away from the bidirectional cylinder 28. An arc-shaped clamping plate 31 is provided on the opposite side end of the two clamping arms 30. A threaded hole 32 is opened on the clamping arm 30. A bolt 33 is installed through the threaded hole 32. Guide rods 34 are fixedly installed at both ends of the side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 facing the adjacent clamping arm 30. A guide hole 35 is also opened on the clamping arm 30. The guide rod 34 is set through the guide hole 35.

[0031] Activating the bidirectional cylinder 28 can change the distance between the two push plates 29 at both ends. The push plates 29 can then adjust the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 31 via the clamping arms 30. When the two clamping arms 30 are close to each other, the arc-shaped clamping plates 31 can be used to clamp the wire harness. By changing the distance of the bolt 33 in the threaded hole 32, the end of the bolt 33 can be pressed against the side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31. When the two clamping arms 30 are at their closest distance, the position of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 can be further adjusted via the bolt 33 to ensure stable clamping of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 when there are few wire harnesses.

[0032] A stop block (not shown) is fixedly installed at the end of the guide rod 34 away from the arc-shaped clamp 31, and the diameter of the stop block is larger than the diameter of the guide hole 35.

[0033] The extension plate 27 is fixedly mounted with a second slide rail 36 on one end face facing the clamping arm 30. The second slide rail 36 is arranged along the adjustment direction of the bidirectional cylinder 28. The clamping arm 30 is fixedly mounted with a second slide block 37 on one side facing the extension plate 27. The second slide block 37 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 36.

[0034] Through the above-described solution of this utility model, by setting the table 1 between different processes, the clamping component 22 can be used to grab the wire harness that has been processed in the previous process. Then, the power motor 20 can flip the wire harness clamped by the clamping component 22 to the next process. Moreover, by adjusting the cylinder 4, the gripping position of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 can be changed, providing more angles for clamping the wire harness. At the same time, if there are few wire harnesses, the position of the bolt 33 can be pre-adjusted to ensure the stability of clamping the wire harness and reduce the amount of manual work of changing and transferring the wire harness.
