[0036] Embodiment
[0037] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment provides a wire harness storage rack, which comprises a base 1, a support system 2, a ring drive system 3, a ring guide rail 4 and a storage unit 5.
[0038] Referring to Figure 2As shown, the support system 2 is installed on the base 1, and the support system 2 comprises a first support platform 21, a second support platform 22 and a support column 23. The support column 23 is connected with the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 22 respectively, so that the first support platform 21 is located below the second support platform 22. In this embodiment, the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 22 are respectively rectangular frame structures composed of a plurality of rod members. The support column 23 is also a structural column composed of a plurality of rod members.
[0039] With reference to the drawings again, Figure 2 As shown, the ring-shaped driving system 3 is installed on the first support platform 21, and a ring-shaped path is formed by the ring-shaped driving system 3. Correspondingly, each processing station of the wire harness is arranged around the ring-shaped path. The ring-shaped guide rail 4 is installed on the second support platform 22.
[0040] With reference to the drawings again, Figure 3 As shown, the storage unit 5 comprises a unit body 51, a connecting member 52, a guide wheel 53 and a moving wheel 54. The connecting member 52 is connected to the side of the unit body 51 and close to the bottom of the unit body 51. The connecting member 52 is connected with the ring-shaped driving system 3, so that the ring-shaped driving system 3 drives the unit body 51 to move along the ring-shaped path, thereby switching between different stations.
[0041] In the process of wire harness processing, each processing station can be provided with a plurality of storage units 5, so as to divide the storage units 5 into processed areas and unprocessed areas; or each processing station can be provided with one storage unit 5, so as to divide the storage unit 5 into processed areas and unprocessed areas. When a certain amount of wire harness processing is completed in each station, the storage unit 5 is driven by the ring-shaped driving system 3 to move along the ring-shaped path, so as to transfer the wire harness in the processed area of the previous processing station to the next station as the unprocessed area of the next station.
[0042] The unit body 51 is connected with the guide wheel 53, and the guide wheel 53 abuts against the ring-shaped guide rail 4, so that the guide wheel 53 provides guidance and anti-overturning support for the movement of the storage unit 5, thereby avoiding the overturning of the storage unit 5.
[0043] The moving wheel 54 is connected to the bottom of the unit body 51, and the moving wheel 54 abuts against the base 1, so that the moving wheel 54 assists the movement of the storage unit 5 and provides support for the storage unit 5. In this embodiment, the base 1 can be a plate-shaped structure. In other embodiments, the factory floor can also be used as the base 1.
[0044] The wire harness storage rack provided by the embodiment can place the processed or unprocessed wire harness on the storage unit 5, drive the storage unit 5 to move along the annular path by the annular driving system 3, so as to transfer the wire harness between different workstations without manual batch taking and placing, avoid the damage of the wire harness caused by winding and pulling, and reduce the labor cost and improve the overall processing efficiency.
[0045] Specifically, the annular driving system 3 includes an annular chain 31, a driving gear 32, a driven gear 33, and a driving motor 34. The annular path is formed by the annular chain 31. The driving gear 32 is installed on the first support platform 21, the driven gear 33 is installed on the first support platform 21, the driving motor 34 is installed on the support column 23 and is in transmission connection with the driving gear 32, and the driving gear 32 is connected with the driven gear 33 through the annular chain 31. The driving motor 34 drives the driving gear 32 to move, so as to drive the annular chain 31 to move along the annular path, and the annular chain 31 is tensioned by the auxiliary gear.
[0046] In the embodiment, the annular chain 31 includes a straight section 35 and a curved section 36 arranged opposite to the straight section 35. In this way, the workstations can be distributed on both sides of the straight section 35, which is more convenient for the layout in the processing area. In other embodiments, the annular chain 31 can be designed in a circular ring shape, and the workstations can be arranged around the circular ring.
[0047] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the annular chain 31 includes a plurality of chain links 37 connected in sequence. The connecting piece 52 includes a first plate body 55 and a second plate body 56 perpendicular to each other, the first plate body 55 is hinged to two adjacent chain links 37, and the second plate body 56 is connected with the unit body 51. The chain links 37 of the annular chain 31 are hinged to each other by a plurality of chain links 37, the first plate body 55 is hinged to the hinge shaft 38 of two adjacent chain links 37 respectively, so that the storage unit 5 can pass through the curved section 36 of the annular path smoothly without being stuck.
[0048] Specifically, continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the connecting piece 52 is connected to the outer side of the annular driving system 3, and the guide wheel 53 abuts against the inner side of the annular guide rail 4. In this way, the storage unit 5 can be prevented from falling over, and the stress between the connecting piece 52 and the chain link 37 can be reduced.
[0049] Specifically, the unit body 51 comprises a vertical rod 57 and a plurality of inclined rods 58.

[0050] Specifically, the unit body 51 further comprises a box 59 connected to the top of the vertical rod 57, and the top of the box 59 is open; and the moving wheel 54 is connected to the bottom of the box 59. By arranging the box 59 at the bottom, the wire harnesses that fall from the tree branch-shaped positions due to poor placement and other factors can be received, thereby avoiding damage and jamming caused by the wire harnesses falling onto the base 1.
[0051] Specifically, the unit body 51 further comprises a connecting plate 501 connected with the two vertical rods 57; and the connecting piece 52 is connected with the connecting plate 501. Connecting the two vertical rods 57 with the connecting plate 501 improves the stability of the unit body 51.
[0052] Specifically, the base 1 is provided with an annular groove 11, and the moving wheel 54 is arranged in the annular groove 11, and the annular groove 11 limits the moving wheel 54 to a certain extent.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of storage units 5 are arranged around the annular driving system 3.
[0054] Working process:
[0055] The processing stations are reasonably distributed along the annular path, and the storage units 5 are divided into processed areas and unprocessed areas; the storage units 5 remain stationary during the wire harness processing, and after the wire harness processing of each station is completed, the storage units 5 are driven to move along the annular path, so that the storage units 5 carrying the processed wire harnesses are transferred to the next processing station; and the wire harnesses are transferred between different stations in a cycle.
[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0057] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
