Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire harness assembly, and in particular relates to a transmission connection mechanism for a continuous wire harness assembly system. Background Technology

[0002] A continuous wire harness assembly system typically includes a conveyor table and multiple assembly tables. Each assembly table has a wire harness fixture plate on which the wire harnesses to be assembled are fixed. A connecting beam is located on the back of the assembly table. A conveyor chain surrounds the conveyor table and is connected to an assembly vehicle via a transmission mechanism. The conveyor table contains a built-in motor. During assembly, the motor drives the conveyor chain to rotate evenly, and the assembly table moves slowly and synchronously with the conveyor chain, passing through various assembly stations where the wire harnesses undergo corresponding processing steps.

[0003] In existing technologies, the transmission connection mechanism is a monolithic design, with its two ends typically mounted on the assembly vehicle and the conveyor chain respectively using bolts. While this allows for the installation of the assembly vehicle and the conveyor chain, the installation and disassembly process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a transmission connection mechanism for a continuous wire harness assembly system, which aims to solve the problems that the installation and disassembly process of the existing transmission connection mechanism for continuous wire harness assembly systems is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Furthermore, the transmission connection mechanism includes a conveyor chain for installation inside the conveyor table and a pair of connecting plates for installation on the back of the assembly table. One connecting plate has a short groove, and the other connecting plate has a positioning groove. The connecting plates are installed on the conveyor chain via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat installed on the conveyor chain. The bottom surface of the connecting seat is provided with a base facing downwards. The bottom surface of the base is upwards and a pin is inserted into it. The two pins pass through the short groove and the positioning groove respectively. A retaining ring is provided on the pin, and a spring is provided on the pin between the base and the retaining ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the tail of the connecting seat is a C-shaped fixing seat, which is located inside the conveyor chain and locked to the conveyor chain by a pair of locking bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed base is provided with a pair of support sleeves, and the locking bolt is located inside the support sleeves.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting beam is provided on the back of the assembly platform, and a pair of connecting plates are provided on the connecting beam.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the two connecting plates are to be disassembled from the connecting assembly, it is only necessary to push the two pins downward one after the other. When the pins are pushed downward, the two pins disengage from the short groove and the positioning groove respectively. At this time, the pins are no longer connected to the connecting plates. Then, push the assembly table outward a short distance, and the assembly table moves away from the connecting assembly and disengages from the conveyor table. The whole disassembly process is relatively simple and does not require the use of other tools. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This utility model provides an overall drawing of the transmission connection mechanism for a continuous wire harness assembly system.

[0012] Figure 2 This utility model provides a schematic diagram of a motherboard connection component. Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0014] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0015] For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this utility model are shown.

[0016] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the transmission connection mechanism includes a conveyor chain 1 for installation in the conveyor table and a pair of connecting plates 2 for installation on the back of the assembly table. One connecting plate 2 has a short groove 3 and the other connecting plate 2 has a positioning groove 4. The connecting plates 2 are installed on the conveyor chain 1 through a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat 5 installed on the conveyor chain 1. The bottom surface of the connecting seat 5 is provided with a base 6 facing downward. The bottom surface of the base 6 is facing upward and a pin 7 is inserted. The two pins 7 pass through the short groove 3 and the positioning groove 4 respectively. The pin 7 is provided with a retaining ring 8. A spring 9 is provided on the pin 7 between the base 6 and the retaining ring 8.

[0017] A continuous wire harness assembly system generally includes a conveyor table and multiple assembly tables, neither of which are shown in the figure. The assembly table is equipped with a wire harness fixture plate, on which the wire harnesses to be assembled are fixed. A connecting beam is located on the back of the assembly table. A conveyor chain surrounds the inside of the conveyor table, and the conveyor chain is connected to the assembly vehicle via a transmission connection mechanism. The conveyor table has a built-in motor. During the assembly process, the motor drives the conveyor chain to rotate evenly, and the assembly table moves slowly and synchronously with the conveyor chain, passing through various assembly stations where the wire harnesses undergo corresponding processing steps. However, the conveyor table and assembly tables are not the focus of this device and will not be described in detail here.

[0018] In this structure, a connecting beam 10 is provided on the back of the assembly table, and a pair of connecting plates 2 are provided on the connecting beam 10. The two connecting plates are connected to the conveyor chain through the connecting assembly. In actual operation, the connecting plates can be detached from the connecting assembly, thereby allowing the assembly table to be separated from the conveyor chain. This facilitates subsequent maintenance, repair, and replacement of the assembly table.

[0019] To detach the two connecting plates from the connecting assembly, simply move the two pins downwards one after the other, compressing the springs in the process. As the pins are moved downwards, they disengage from the short slot and positioning slot respectively, releasing their connection to the connecting plates. Then, push the assembly table outwards a short distance, moving it away from the connecting assembly and detaching it from the conveyor. The entire disassembly process is relatively simple and requires no additional tools.

[0020] When the assembly table is mounted on the conveyor chain via the connecting assembly, the spring is in its normal state. Under the elastic action of the spring, the two pins are always located in the short slot and the positioning slot, respectively, thus allowing the assembly table to be stably mounted on the corresponding position of the conveyor chain via the connecting assembly.

[0021] In addition, in this structure, short slots and positioning slots are respectively cut into the front and rear connecting plates. Two pins pass through the short slots and positioning slots respectively. In this way, when the assembly table changes direction at the front and rear ends of the conveyor table, the positioning table will shift slightly. During this process, the corresponding pin will slide in the short slot to adapt to the shift of the positioning table, thus making the positioning table more stable during the reversal process.

[0022] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 1 The tail of the connecting seat 5 is a C-shaped fixing seat 11. The fixing seat 11 is located inside the conveyor chain 2 and is locked to the conveyor chain 1 by a pair of locking bolts 12.

[0023] In this structure, the connecting assembly can also be detached from the conveyor chain, facilitating subsequent replacement, maintenance, and other related work. When it is necessary to detach the connecting assembly from the conveyor chain, it is not connected to the assembly table. Simply unscrew the pair of locking bolts to remove the fixing seat from the conveyor chain, thereby removing the entire connecting assembly.

[0024] Furthermore, the fixed base 11 is provided with a pair of support sleeves 13, and the locking bolt 12 is located inside the support sleeves 13. In the above structure, the fixed base has a C-shaped structure. When the fixed base is installed on the conveyor chain, it can support the conveyor chain and prevent it from deforming. The support sleeves also support the fixed base, further preventing deformation of the conveyor chain.

[0025] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
