Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stranding machine technology, specifically a wire harness stranding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the use of wire harnesses, they are generally used to connect power sources and electrical components. Often, due to the large number of wire harnesses used, they are twisted together. The equipment used for twisting wire harnesses is a stranding machine. A stranding machine is a widely used mechanical device for stranding various soft / hard conductor wires, turning multiple single conductors into a single strand to meet the wire manufacturing process requirements.

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN211150192U discloses a wire harness stranding machine. During operation, the locking sleeve can be reset by the cooperation of the push ring and the push spring. In addition, the push ring is threaded to the receiving post, which can adjust the distance between the push ring and the locking sleeve, thereby adjusting the spring force of the push spring to meet different usage requirements.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the device adjusts the distance between the push ring and the locking sleeve by setting multiple sets of receiving columns to meet different usage requirements. When the device twists the wire harness, the tail end of the wire harness is mostly not tightened. However, during transportation, the wire harness may experience various vibrations and impacts. If the tail end of the wire harness is not tightened, these vibrations may cause the tail end to gradually loosen or even completely unravel. This requires additional maintenance work to reorganize and fix these wire harnesses, thereby increasing maintenance costs and time. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wire harness twisting machine that can quickly tighten the wire harness to solve the above problems.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the problem to be solved by this application is to provide a wire harness stranding machine that can tighten the end of the wire harness to prevent the wire harness from scattering during transportation.

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this application provides a wire harness stranding machine, including a stranding assembly 1, which is installed in a wire harness manufacturing plant and is used to quickly and accurately organize multiple wires together and tightly wind them into a wire harness by stranding.

[0023] The stranded wire assembly 1 includes a housing 11, inside which are arranged multiple sets of rotary motors (not shown in the figure). The output end of the rotary motor passes through the housing 11 and is fixedly mounted with a first gripper 12. The first gripper 12 is used to fix the fixed end of the stranded wire. At the same time, a fixing plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the housing 11. The top of the fixing plate 13 is fixedly mounted with multiple sets of first slide rails 2 corresponding to the number of first grippers 12. The top of the first slide rails 2 is slidably mounted with a second gripper 21. The second gripper 21 is used to clamp the other end of the wire harness. At the same time, a control box 14 is arranged on the outside of the housing 11. The control box 14 is electrically connected to the first gripper 12 and the second gripper 21 and is used by the operator to control the clamping operation of the two sets of grippers.

[0024] When the wire harness needs to be wound, the operator places both ends of the wire harness into the first clamp 12 and the second clamp 21 respectively, and then starts the rotary motor to wind the wire harness into shape. Driven by the rotary motor, the first clamp 12 drives the wire harness to wind around the second clamp 21. At the same time, as the first clamp 12 drives multiple wire harnesses to twist, the length of the wire harness will gradually shorten. At this time, the second clamp 21 will move towards the first clamp 12 on the first slide rail 2 to compensate for the shortening of the wire harness after twisting, thereby ensuring the uniformity and tightness of the twisting. In this application, the twisting assembly 1 is a conventional wire harness twisting machine, and no further limitations are imposed here.

[0025] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a gathering component 3 is provided on the side of the second gripper 21 away from the first gripper 12. The gathering component 3 is used to tighten the tail end of the wire harness after winding to prevent it from scattering during subsequent transportation. The gathering component 3 includes a base 31, and a second slide rail 32 is provided on the top of the base 31. The second slide rail 32 has an opening on the side near the second gripper 21, and multiple sets of cable ties 33 are provided on the top of the second slide rail 32. The cable ties 33 are used to tighten the tail end of the wire harness. At the same time, the cable ties 33 are adapted to slide within the second slide rail 32. When it is necessary to tighten the wire harness, the cable ties 33 will slide out from the opening of the second slide rail 32 and be sleeved on the wire harness.

[0026] Meanwhile, a first cylinder 34 is provided at the other end of the base 31. The output end of the first cylinder 34 is positioned towards the cable tie 33, and a push plate is provided on the output end. The push plate is adapted to contact the cable tie 33 and push the cable tie 33 to move on the second slide rail 32.

[0027] Meanwhile, a groove 4 is provided on the top of the base 31 on one side of the second slide rail 32. The groove 4 is used to place the tightening end of the cable tie 33 so that the tightening end will not be blocked by the base 31 when the cable tie 33 moves on the second slide rail 32. At the same time, an installation groove 5 is provided inside the base 31. An opening communicating with the installation groove 5 is provided on the top of the base 31 above the installation groove 5. A second cylinder 51 is provided in the installation groove 5. A third gripper 52 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second cylinder 51. The third gripper 52 is adapted to extend out from the installation groove 5 and clamp one end of the cable tie 33.

[0028] After the wire harness has undergone stranding, the portion of the wire harness located at the rear end of the second clamp 21 is in a loose state. At this time, the first cylinder 34 pushes the cable tie 33 located at the top of the second slide rail 32, so that the cable tie 33 is sleeved on the tail end of the wire harness. Then, the second cylinder 51 is controlled to drive the third clamp 52 to extend, so that the third clamp 52 clamps one end of the cable tie 33. Then, the second cylinder 51 drives the third clamp 52 to retract, so that the cable tie 33 tightens the tail end of the wire harness and prevents it from falling apart.

[0029] In summary, by incorporating the cable-tightening assembly 3, this device allows the ends of the wire harness to be quickly tightened by the cable tie 33 after twisting, preventing them from scattering during subsequent transportation. This not only improves production efficiency and product quality but also reduces labor costs and operational difficulty, thus increasing the practicality of the device.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
