[0002] In the prior art, the types of product wire harness are various, the materials and shapes are different, and are greatly affected by the previous process, which leads to the difficulty of using automatic equipment to buckle the wire harness. Therefore, the current buckle wire harness operation mainly relies on manual operation. However, manual buckle wire harness has many shortcomings: first, manual operation cannot realize accurate alignment, and the force during buckling cannot be accurately controlled, which often leads to poor product buckling; second, the incoming product may have differences, especially when the size difference is too large, manual operation may even be unable to buckle, which not only reduces the production efficiency, but also increases the rework rate and damage rate of the product.
[0003] In addition, after the existing automatic buckling equipment adsorbs the wire harness, the suction head will block the wire harness, so that the camera cannot shoot the wire harness during the buckling process, and real-time position adjustment cannot be performed. Specifically, after adsorbing the wire harness, the camera will shoot the adsorbed wire harness from below to obtain the buckle position characteristics of the wire harness to be buckled. However, when moving above the wire harness to prepare for buckling, the camera above cannot collect the buckle position of the wire harness because the wire harness is blocked by the equipment, which cannot ensure that the wire harness can be accurately buckled with the wire harness.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for a buckle mechanism with auxiliary positioning function to ensure the accuracy of the product position during the buckling of the wire harness. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

The present application can also be implemented or applied through different specific implementation manners, and various modifications or changes can be made to the details in the specification without departing from the spirit of the present application.

The structure, proportion, size, etc. shown in the diagrams attached to the specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for understanding and reading by those skilled in the art, and are not used to limit the implementation conditions of the present application, so they do not have technical substantive significance. Any modification of structure, change of proportion relationship or adjustment of size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present application, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present application. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" in the specification are only for the convenience of clear understanding of the description, not for limiting the scope of the present application, and the change or adjustment of the relative relationship without substantial change of technical content is also considered as the scope of the present application.
[0032] The present application provides a buckling mechanism with auxiliary positioning function, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 , which comprises a suction assembly 10 and a buckle positioning assembly 20.
[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 , the suction assembly 10 comprises a first suction head piece 11 and a second suction head piece 12, and the first suction head piece 11 and the second suction head piece 12 each comprise a connecting part 111 and a coincident part 112. The connecting part 111 is connected to the fixed base plate 40, and the coincident part 112 is provided with a suction head 113 for generating suction force to fix the flat cable 50. In particular, the second suction head piece 12 is movable relative to the first suction head piece 11. By adjusting the position of the second suction head piece 12, the position of the suction head 113 on the second suction head piece 12 relative to the suction head 113 on the first suction head piece 11 can be flexibly adjusted, so as to adapt to flat cables 50 of different specifications. The first suction head piece and the second suction head piece are respectively suctioned at both ends of the flat cable, and the first buckle and the second buckle are arranged on the side of the flat cable away from the suction assembly.
[0034] The snap-fit positioning assembly 20 includes a first positioning piece 21 and a second positioning piece 22. The first positioning piece 21 is disposed on both sides of the first snap-fit 51, and the second positioning piece 22 is disposed on both sides of the second snap-fit 52. The first positioning piece 21 is disposed on one side of the first suction head 113, and the second positioning piece 22 is disposed on one side of the second suction head 113. Both the first positioning piece 21 and the second positioning piece 22 are provided with positioning holes 23 for image recognition association with the camera above. The first positioning piece 21 and the second positioning piece 22 are respectively disposed on the first suction head. The design incorporates two positioning plates, one on one side and the other on the other, to prevent the suction head 113 from obstructing the first positioning plate 21 and the second positioning plate 22. This allows the camera above to capture images of the positioning holes 23 of the first and second positioning plates 21 and 22 from above, comparing these images with pre-captured images of the cable 50's latching positions. This simulates the real-time positions of the first and second latches 51 and 52 of the cable 50, enabling adjustments to ensure accurate engagement of the cable 50 with the power strip 70. This design ensures that even if the suction head 113 partially obstructs the view, the positioning plates accurately determine the position of the cable 50, allowing for precise engagement with the power strip 70.
[0035] To further improve adaptability, this embodiment also includes an adjustment unit 30, which includes an X-axis displacement drive component 31 and a Y-axis displacement drive component 32. The output ends of the X-axis displacement drive component 31 and the Y-axis displacement drive component 32 are both connected to the fixed base plate 40 of the second suction head component 12. The X-axis displacement drive component 31 and the Y-axis displacement drive component 32 control the movement of the second suction head component 12 in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby easily adjusting its position to adapt to ribbon cables 50 of different sizes and specifications.
[0036] The first positioning piece 21 is installed on the overlapping portion 112 of the first suction head 11. The overlapping portion 112 of the first suction head 11 has a receiving groove 114 and a fitting groove 115. A mounting block 116 is provided in the receiving groove 114, and one side of the mounting block 116 extends into the fitting groove 115. The first positioning piece 21 is disposed between the fitting groove 115 and the mounting block 116, and the first positioning piece 21 is fitted into the fitting groove 115. The mounting block 116 is threadedly connected to the receiving groove 114, and the extension of the mounting block 116 fixes the first positioning piece 21 in the fitting groove 115.
[0037] For the second positioning piece 22, a functional block 121 is provided on one side of the overlapping part 112 of the second suction head 12. The functional block 121 is provided with a snap-fit block 122. A snap-fit groove is opened on the functional block 121 to snap the second positioning piece 22 between the functional block 121 and the snap-fit block 122. The second positioning piece 22 is fitted with the snap-fit groove to achieve a stable fixation.
[0038] Preferably, in order to improve the stability of the suction head 113 adsorbing the cable 50 and the stability during buckling, the embodiment further provides a finger air cylinder 41 on the connecting part 111 of the first suction head part 11 or the second suction head part 12. The parallel clamps 42 of the finger air cylinder 41 are located on the transverse sides of the cable 50, and the cable 50 on the suction head 113 can be clamped by controlling the air cylinder to prevent it from falling. Although the finger air cylinder 41 is only shown on the second suction head part 12 in the figure, it can also be provided on the first suction head part 11 according to actual needs.
[0039] In the embodiment, a plurality of air paths 43 are opened on the suction head 113 of the first suction head part 11 and the second suction head part 12, and an air pipe joint 44 is installed on the connecting part 111 of the first suction head part 11 and the second suction head part 12 for connecting the vacuum pipe.
[0040] Preferably, in order to realize the fine adjustment of the position of the cable 50, the real-time positions of the first buckle 51 and the second buckle 52 of the cable 50 are adjusted, so that the cable 50 can be accurately buckled on the power strip 70 under the transmission of the linear module 60. The connecting part 111 of the first suction head part 11 is provided with a first adjusting block 45, and the clamping block 122 is provided with a second adjusting block 46. The first adjusting block 45 is located on the longitudinal sides of the cable 50, and the second adjusting block 46 can move with the movement of the second suction head part 12. The longitudinal movement of the second suction head part 12 can be controlled by the Y-axis displacement driving assembly 32, so as to push the cable 50 adsorbed on the suction head 113 to move longitudinally until the position simulated by the camera matches the position of the power strip 70 below, thereby realizing accurate buckling. It should be noted that the cable 50 is spaced apart from the first adjusting block 45 and the second adjusting block 46 by a certain distance as a margin for adjusting the position of the cable 50.
[0041] It should be further noted that the cable 50 provided in the embodiment is provided with an elastic groove body 53 between the first buckle 51 and the second buckle 52. Therefore, even when the first adjusting block 45 and the second adjusting block 46 completely abut on the cable 50, the second adjusting block 46 can be further moved to adjust the relative positions of the first buckle 51 and the second buckle 52 on the cable 50, so as to match the position of the power strip 70 to be buckled.
[0042] Finally, it should be emphasized that the process of simulating the cable buckle position by the camera and adjusting it to accurately buckle with the power strip in the utility model is a conventional application combining machine vision and image recognition technology. These technologies are used to capture the image of the positioning hole of the positioning sheet and compare and analyze the pre-shooting cable buckle position features, so as to realize accurate simulation and adjustment of the cable position. Since these technologies belong to the common knowledge in the field and have been widely used in various automatic systems, the technical details and implementation steps will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
