Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable harness technology, and more specifically, to a cable harness mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous industries such as electronics and electrical manufacturing, complete electrical systems, and machinery manufacturing, connecting cables serve as crucial components for signal and power connections within equipment, resulting in a massive demand and stringent quality requirements. However, this field currently faces many challenges in the cable bundling stage.

[0003] On the one hand, many customers still use manual cable cutting. Since cables are mostly packaged and sold in fixed lengths of 100 / 200m, while the actual installation lengths required by customers vary, this inevitably leads to serious material waste. In some companies, manual cutting makes it difficult to accurately control the length, resulting in excess cable sections piling up and artificially inflating raw material costs. This not only increases production costs but also contradicts the principle of efficient resource utilization.

[0004] On the other hand, some companies with lower demand choose to outsource wire harness processing to reduce labor costs. However, under the outsourcing model, the difficulty of product quality monitoring increases dramatically. The lack of unified and strict quality standards and effective supervision mechanisms leads to inconsistent quality of wire harness products. Defective wire harness products may cause problems such as signal transmission interference, unstable power connections, and even equipment failure, seriously threatening the reliability and safety of equipment operation and bringing huge potential risks and losses to customers' production and operation.

[0005] Therefore, a cable harness mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

A support plate that cooperates with the pressure plate is installed between the two lifting shafts of the dual-axis cylinder. The ground surface of the pressure plate and the top surface of the support plate are provided with mutually cooperating arc-shaped grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes an electric actuator, a cutter, and a support block.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As attached Figures 1-5 The cable bundling mechanism shown includes a workbench 1, a cable bundling assembly 2 installed at the top center of the workbench 1, movable components 3 on both sides of the cable bundling assembly 2, a clamping component 4 installed on each of the movable components 3, a fixing frame 5 installed on one of the clamping components 4, and a cutting component 6 installed on the fixing frame 5.

[0026] In practice, the cables are aligned and arranged. One end of each cable is then pulled through the right-side clamping component 4 and clamped into the left-side clamping component 4, ensuring the cable end is held flush. The right-side clamping component 4, with the assistance of the bottom moving component 3, moves to smooth the cable. The moving distance is determined by the distance between the two clamping components 4. During movement, the cable length between the two clamping components 4 is the required bundle length. Once the length is determined, the right-side clamping component 4 clamps and fixes the cable. The cutting component 6 cuts the cable. The two moving components 3 then move together, bringing the left-side clamping component 4 closer to the bundle assembly 2 and moving the right-side clamping component 4 away, keeping the cable straight. The bundle assembly 2 is then activated to wrap insulating tape around the cable. During the wrapping process, the two moving components 3 work together to evenly wrap the cable surface with the tape. After the right-side clamping component 4 approaches the bundle assembly 2, the bundle is completed. This improves the dimensional accuracy and quality of the bundle.

[0027] The cable harness assembly 2 includes a bracket 201, limiting rollers 202, a turntable 203, an insulating cable harness holder 204, a toothed plate 205, a first motor 206, and a drive gear 207. The bracket 201 is mounted on the workbench 1. Multiple limiting rollers 202 are mounted on the bracket 201, and the multiple limiting rollers 202 together hold the turntable 203. An insulating cable harness holder 204 is mounted on one side of the turntable 203, and a toothed plate 205 is mounted on the other side of the turntable 203. Two first motors 206 are mounted on the bracket 201, and a drive gear 207 that meshes with the toothed plate 205 is mounted on the output shaft of each first motor 206.

[0028] Both the bracket 201 and the turntable 203 have openings.

[0029] In practice, the cable enters the turntable 203 through the opening, and one end of the insulating tape on the insulating tape seat 204 is wrapped around the cable. When the first motor 206 runs, the drive gear 207 drives the turntable 203 connected to the toothed plate 205 to rotate, so that the insulating tape rotates and automatically wraps around the cable.

[0030] The moving component 3 includes a second motor 301, a screw 302, a slide rail 303, and a slide block 304. The second motor 301 is mounted on the worktable 1. The output end of the second motor 301 is connected to the screw 302. The two sides of the screw 302 are provided with slide rails 303 mounted on the worktable 1. The screw 302 is connected to a slide block 304 that is slidably connected to the two slide rails 303. A clamping component 4 is supported on the slide block 304.

[0031] In practice, the second motor 301 is operated, causing the screw 302 to rotate, which in turn causes the slide block 304 to move along the slide rail 303. This allows the position of the clamping component 4 to be adjusted, so that the cable length can be determined by the two moving components 3. At the same time, it facilitates the movement of the cable position when bundling the cable.

[0032] The clamping assembly 4 includes a dual-axis cylinder 401, a pressure plate 402, and a support plate 403. The dual-axis cylinder 401 is mounted on a slide block 304. The pressure plate 402 is installed at the top of the two lifting shafts of the dual-axis cylinder 401. The support plate 403, which cooperates with the pressure plate 402, is installed between the two lifting shafts of the dual-axis cylinder 401. The ground of the pressure plate 402 and the top surface of the support plate 403 are provided with mutually cooperating arc-shaped grooves.

[0033] In practice, the extension and retraction of the dual-axis cylinder 401 allows the pressure plate 402 to move away from or closer to the support plate 403. When the pressure plate 402 presses down, it can clamp the cable end under the support of the support plate 403, so that the cable end can be kept straight under the clamping force, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the power connection port.

[0034] The cutting assembly 6 includes an electric push rod 601, a cutter 602, and a support block 603. The electric push rod 601 is mounted on the fixed frame 5, and the cutter 602 is mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 601. The support block 603 is mounted on the side of the corresponding support plate 403.

[0035] In practice, the electric push rod 601 extends, causing the cutter 602 to descend, which can cut the cable with the support of the support block 603. Thus, after the cable length is adjusted and determined, the cable can be automatically cut, improving the convenience of cable bundling.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
