[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network components of automotive circuits. They consist of copper-plated contact terminals crimped to wires and cables, and then covered with plastic insulation or an outer metal shell. During the manufacturing process, automotive wiring harnesses need to be bundled and secured to prevent them from coming apart during subsequent assembly or use.
[0003] Currently, most wire harness bundling is done manually using cable ties, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the alignment of the cable tie head and end is limited by the construction environment, making it difficult for workers to operate. After bundling, the excess cable tie needs to be manually cut off, further increasing the workload. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown in this embodiment, an automotive wiring harness bundling device includes a fixing base 1, an inwardly recessed mounting groove 2 on one side of the fixing base 1, a feeding mechanism added to one side of the fixing base 1, a cable tie 3 installed in both the fixing base 1 and the mounting groove 2, and a through groove 4 that mates with the cable tie 3 through the mounting groove 2. The feeding mechanism is used to feed and transport the cable tie 3 into the mounting groove 2, and a limiting mechanism is added in the mounting groove 2 to limit and fix the cable tie 3. At the same time, a pulling mechanism is installed in the mounting groove 2 below the cable tie 3 to perform an active pulling action on the cable tie 3.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a swing arm 5 rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed base 1, and a motor 6 is mounted on one side of the fixed base 1 via a bracket. The output end of the motor 6 is connected to the swing arm 5 for transmission. The motor 6 drives the swing arm 5 to rotate. An electric slide table 7 is mounted at the tail of the swing arm 5. An electric gripper 8 is detachably mounted on the output end of the electric slide table 7. An adjustment motor for adjusting the position of the electric gripper 8 is mounted on the electric slide table 7. The angle of the electric gripper 8 can be freely controlled by adjusting the motor, thereby completing the precise clamping and feeding of the cable tie 3.
[0025] During loading: The loading mechanism first starts the electric slide 7, which drives the electric gripper 8 to move toward the head of the cable tie 3. The operator can assist the cable tie 3 to contact the electric gripper 8. Subsequently, the electric gripper 8 clamps and fixes the cable tie 3. At the same time, the operator can assist the loading work according to the deformed cable tie 3. Then, the motor 6 is started, which drives the swing arm 5 to rotate around its pivot point, carrying the head of the cable tie 3 toward its end to complete the insertion. In order to improve the accuracy of the insertion of the head of the cable tie 3, the initial angle of the electric gripper 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the motor, which is conducive to the pulling work of the cable tie 3 without manual operation. Then, the electric slide 7 drives the electric gripper 8 to reset, waiting for the subsequent loading signal.
[0026] The limiting mechanism includes clamping plates 9 symmetrically slidably installed on both sides of the mounting groove 2, and electric push rods 10 are fixedly inserted on both sides of the mounting groove 2. The output ends of the two electric push rods 10 are respectively connected to the side walls of the two clamping plates 9. A slide rail 11 is opened at the bottom of the mounting groove 2. The two clamping plates 9 are correspondingly slidably engaged in the slide rail 11. A cutter 12 is slidably installed on the lower surface of the fixed seat 1. The cutter 12 is detachably fixedly connected to one of the clamping plates 9.
[0027] When limiting the position: By means of a limiting mechanism, firstly adjust the first electric push rod 10 on one side according to the size of the cable tie 3, drive the clamping plate 9 on that side to move and first contact the side wall of the cable tie 3 to complete the clamping. The clamping plate 9 is not connected to the cutter 12, so as to complete the fine adjustment of different cable ties 3. Then, start the first electric push rod 10 on the other side to push the clamping plate 9 and the cutter 12 to move synchronously. Under the action of the two clamping plates 9, the cable tie 3 can be stably limited and can be adapted to different sizes of cable ties 3 to complete the fine adjustment. After the limiting is completed, the first electric push rod 10 on the side connected to the cutter 12 completes the work and resets. At this time, the cutter 12 follows the clamping plate 9 to complete the movement. In the movement path, the cutter 12 passes through the through groove 4 and contacts the cable tie 3 to complete the cutting, which saves time and effort and reduces the workload of subsequent cutting. Then, only the position of the wire harness needs to be changed to perform continuous bundling action.
[0028] like Figure 6As shown, the pulling mechanism includes a power seat 13 with an open design on all four sides. The power seat 13 cooperates with the end of the cable tie 3. A first roller 14 is rotatably installed on one side of the power seat 13, and a drive motor 15, which is connected to the first roller 14, is hidden on one side of the power seat 13. A sliding area 16 is opened on the other side of the power seat 13. A concave seat 17 is slidably installed in the sliding area 16. A second roller 18 is rotatably installed in the concave seat 17. Anti-slip layers are installed on the outer walls of the first roller 14 and the second roller 18. A second electric push rod 19 is installed on one side of the power seat 13 through a bracket. The output end of the second electric push rod 19 is connected to the side wall of the concave seat 17. The first roller 14 and the second roller 18 are distributed in parallel. The pulling of the cable tie 3 is completed by the cooperation of the first roller 14 and the second roller 18.
[0029] During the pulling process: After the cable tie 3 head is inserted into the end of the feeding mechanism via the pulling mechanism, the cable tie 3 head extends into the power seat 13. The second electric push rod 19 is activated, which drives the second roller 18 to move toward the first roller 14 and clamp the cable tie 3. At this time, the drive motor 15 is turned on, which drives the first roller 14 to rotate. The rotation of the first roller 14 and the second roller 18 completes the gradual pulling of the cable tie 3, so that the cable tie 3 completes the binding action of the wire harness. Afterwards, the second roller 18 can be reset.
[0030] This utility model provides an automotive wiring harness bundling device. The specific working principle is as follows: First, the cable tie 3 is placed on the fixed base 1, with its end correspondingly engaged in the mounting groove 2. Its head extends towards the feeding mechanism. The wiring harness to be bundled is placed on the fixed base 1 and the cable tie 3, awaiting bundling. Then, the limiting mechanism clamps and fixes the end of the cable tie 3. Next, the feeding mechanism moves the end of the cable tie 3 towards the mounting groove 2 and inserts the head of the cable tie 3 into its end. Immediately, the feeding mechanism detaches from the cable tie 3 and resets. At this time, the pulling mechanism operates, driving rollers 14 and 18 to clamp and pull the cable tie 3, thus completing the bundling of the wiring harness. Then, the limiting mechanism resets. During the reset path of the limiting mechanism, the linkage cutter 12 cuts off any excess cable tie 3, reducing manual workload. With the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, the limiting mechanism, and the pulling mechanism, automatic bundling of the wiring harness can be completed, and the cable tie 3 can be cut simultaneously, improving bundling efficiency.
