Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness packaging technology, specifically a packaging device for automotive wire harness production. Background Technology

[0002] On production lines for large products such as automobiles, a large number of wire harnesses need to be installed. If these harnesses are not properly packaged and organized, the wires may become tangled and disorganized. Organizing the wire harnesses through packaging, such as using wire channels to separate branches of different functions and using cable ties to secure their positions, makes the harnesses easier to identify and handle during installation. Workers can then quickly and accurately install them in their designated locations, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire production assembly process.

[0003] In patent publication CN213769227U, this utility model discloses a packaging device for automotive wiring harnesses, including a main body. A functional panel is provided on the front surface of the main body, and an emergency stop button is provided on the front surface of the functional panel.

This utility model's packaging device for automotive wiring harnesses provides good safety protection, preventing injury to workers during operation, and also has good dustproof properties, improving the packaging effect of the wiring harness.

[0004] Automotive wiring harnesses have a certain length. To prevent them from tangling during subsequent transportation, they usually need to be wound into a coil before being bundled with tape or other similar materials. Existing packaging equipment requires the wiring harness to be secured to the sides of two winding posts, with a turntable rotating to wind the harness. This packaging method involves workers manually placing the wiring harness onto the winding posts. When the turntable starts and the winding posts begin to rotate at high speed, if the worker's hands are not removed in time, the high-speed rotation of the winding posts can easily cause serious injury to the worker's hands, posing a certain safety hazard.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a packaging device for automotive wiring harness production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] The top of the packaging device operating table 4 is also rotatably connected to a winding turntable 5. A first winding column 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the winding turntable 5, and a second winding column 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the winding turntable 5. A wire end clamp 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the second winding column 7. A wire binding mechanism 11 is provided on the side of the winding turntable 5, and the wire binding mechanism 11 is installed on the top of the packaging device operating table 4. A mechanical gripper 9 is also provided on the top of the winding turntable 5, and a mechanical arm 10 is installed on the top of the mechanical gripper 9. The mechanical arm 10 is fixedly connected to the packaging device operating table 4 through a support frame.

[0025] The mechanical gripper 9 and the robotic arm 10 can be existing mature claw-type grippers and articulated robotic arms, used to grab and remove the wire harness rolls wound on the two winding posts from the middle and transfer them to the bundling mechanism 11 for bundling. The bundling mechanism 11 can be a Kunjin fully automatic wire bundling machine, used to bundle and package the wire harness rolls. The bottom of the winding turntable 5 is equipped with a motor, used to automatically rotate the winding turntable 5, thereby winding the wire harness on the two winding posts.

[0026] The ball nut 104 has an internal threaded connection to a transmission screw 102, and one end of the transmission screw 102 is fixedly connected to a support shaft 103. The support shaft 103 and the lifting frame 301 are connected by a rotatable connection. The other end of the transmission screw 102 is equipped with a servo motor 101, and the servo motor 101 and the lifting frame 301 are connected by a fixed connection.

[0027] Guide cylinders 304 penetrate both ends of the lifting frame 301, and the connection between the guide cylinders 304 and the lifting frame 301 is a fixed connection. A guide rod 305 is slidably nested inside the guide cylinder 304, and the connection between the guide rod 305 and the packaging device operating table 4 is a fixed connection.

[0028] An elastic inclined plate 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped support frame 201, and a wire end clamping plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the elastic inclined plate 202. The connection between the wire end clamping plate 203 and the U-shaped support frame 201 is a sliding connection.

[0029] Working principle: Before winding, the ball nut 104, along with the wire end fixing component 2, is positioned at the end furthest from the wire end clamp 8, and the height of the wire end fixing component 2 is slightly higher than the height of the wire end clamp 8. At this time, the operator can insert one end of the automotive wiring harness between the two wire end clamping plates 203. Under the force of the spring 204, the wire end clamping plates 203 clamp the end of the wiring harness. After clamping the wire end, the servo motor 101 is started, and its output end drives the transmission screw 102 to rotate. The ball nut 104 converts the rotational motion into non-linear motion, which, through the connecting rod 106, moves the wire end fixing component 2 and the wire end clamped inside it toward the wire end clamp 8. When the wire end fixing component 2 moves to the wire end clamp 8 and away from the first winding post... After 6 is on one side, the wire harness is now directly above the wire end clamp 8. The electric lifting rod 302 is activated, and the output end of the electric lifting rod 302 moves the lifting frame 301 downward, and at the same time moves the wire end fixing component 2 downward, so that the wire end fixing component 2 is lower than the wire end clamp 8. At this time, the wire end clamp 8 can push the wire harness out from the wire end clamping piece 203, so that the end of the wire harness is clamped on the wire end clamp 8. Then the winding turntable 5 is activated, and the winding turntable 5 rotates with the first winding post 6 and the second winding post 7 at its top, so that the wire harness can be wound on the two winding posts to form a coil. After the winding is finished, the robotic arm 10 moves with the mechanical gripper 9 to clamp the coil on the winding post and send it to the bundling mechanism 11 for bundling and packaging.
