Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to a wiring and branching mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing ribbon cable splitting mechanisms primarily use limiting grooves on the upper and lower splitting fixing plates to achieve the splitting function. This design is suitable for relatively thick ordinary cables with only two or three wires. However, for ribbon cables with a large number of wires, this design makes it difficult to completely separate the lines at once and connect them to the subsequent cable harness connector. Therefore, a ribbon cable splitting mechanism that is specifically designed for ribbon cables, has high splitting efficiency, good splitting effect, and is easy to connect to the subsequent cable harness connector is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable splitting mechanism that is designed for cable routing, has high splitting efficiency, good splitting effect, and is easy to connect to the cable harness connector.

[0004] This utility model proposes a cable routing and splitting mechanism, including a cable positioning mechanism and a clamping mechanism;

[0005] The line splitting positioning mechanism includes a line splitting mechanism body, a line splitting fixing plate, a line splitting upper pressure plate, a first driving mechanism, and a second driving mechanism. The line splitting mechanism body is provided with a line splitting mechanism track. The line splitting fixing plate and the line splitting upper pressure plate are slidably connected to the line splitting mechanism track. The line splitting fixing plate includes a line splitting fixing plate base and a line splitting fixing plate body. The top of the line splitting fixing plate body is provided with a plurality of fixing plate line splitting protrusions, and fixing plate line splitting limiting grooves are formed between the fixing plate line splitting protrusions.

[0006] The first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can drive the splitter fixing plate and the splitter upper pressure plate to move towards each other. The cable can be split by the splitter protrusion of the fixing plate and fall into the splitter limiting groove of the fixing plate. The clamping mechanism is located on the rear side of the splitter positioning mechanism. The clamping mechanism can limit and fix the splitter cable.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping mechanism body, a clamping mechanism track, an upper clamping device, a lower clamping device, a third drive mechanism, and a fourth drive mechanism. The clamping mechanism track is disposed on the clamping mechanism body. The upper clamping device and the lower clamping device are slidably connected to the upper and lower sides of the clamping mechanism track, respectively. The third drive mechanism and the fourth drive mechanism are respectively connected to the upper clamping device and the lower clamping device. Through the cooperation of the third drive mechanism and the fourth drive mechanism, the upper clamping device and the lower clamping device are driven to move towards each other.

[0008] Preferably, it further includes a splitter insertion plate, which is connected to one side of the splitter fixing plate. The top of the splitter insertion plate is provided with an insertion plate groove, and a plurality of insertion plate splitter protrusions are provided in the insertion plate groove.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the insert plate dividing protrusion is tapered.

[0010] Preferably, the middle insert plate dividing protrusion has the longest length, and the insert plate dividing protrusions farther away from the middle one have shorter lengths.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the insertion plate groove is at the same horizontal height as the bottom of the fixing plate dividing line limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the branch line fixing plate body has a fixing plate positioning groove in the middle that is adapted to the branch line upper pressure plate. By cooperating with the fixing plate positioning groove and the branch line upper pressure plate, the cable is limited and positioned between the branch line fixing plate and the branch line upper pressure plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the wiring and branching mechanism of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By setting multiple insert plate splitting protrusions, with the middle insert plate splitting protrusion being the longest and the splitting protrusions further away from the middle insert plate splitting protrusion being shorter, the multiple splitting protrusions are made into a cone shape, which can separate the cables one by one from the middle to both sides, thus achieving a good splitting effect.

[0015] 2. The cable routing can be effectively separated by setting the top of the tapered insert plate with a splitting protrusion.

[0016] 3. By setting a clamping mechanism on the rear side of the dividing line positioning mechanism, subsequent processing can be facilitated after the dividing line structure. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a clamping mechanism body 21, a clamping mechanism track 22, an upper clamping device 25, a lower clamping device 26, a third drive mechanism 23, and a fourth drive mechanism 24. The clamping mechanism track 22 is mounted on the clamping mechanism body 21.

The third drive mechanism 23 and the fourth drive mechanism 24 are connected to the upper clamping device 25 and the lower clamping device 26, respectively. Through the cooperation of the third drive mechanism 23 and the fourth drive mechanism 24, the upper clamping device 25 and the lower clamping device 26 are driven to move towards each other to complete the clamping process. The final clamping position can also be adjusted by adjusting the stroke of the third drive mechanism 23 and the fourth drive mechanism 24.

[0027] The wire splitting positioning mechanism includes a wire splitting mechanism body 11, a wire splitting mechanism track 12, a wire splitting fixing plate 15, a wire splitting insertion plate 17, a wire splitting upper pressure plate 16, a first drive mechanism 13, and a second drive mechanism 14.

The first drive mechanism 13 and the second drive mechanism 14 can drive the wire splitting fixing plate 15 and the wire splitting upper pressure plate 16 to move towards each other.

[0028] The splitter fixing plate 15 includes a splitter fixing plate base 151 and a splitter fixing plate body 152. The splitter fixing plate body 152 is connected to the splitter fixing plate base 151 by screws, and the splitter insertion plate 17 is connected to the splitter fixing plate body 152 by screws.

[0029] The top front and rear sides of the branch plate fixing plate body 152 are respectively provided with fixing plate limiting protrusions 1521, and fixing plate positioning grooves 1522 adapted to the branch plate pressure plate 16 are formed in the middle of the fixing plate limiting protrusions 1521. By cooperating with the branch plate pressure plate 16, the cable is limited and positioned between the branch plate fixing plate 15 and the branch plate pressure plate 16. Multiple fixing plate branch protrusions 1523 are provided on the fixing plate limiting protrusions 1521, and fixing plate branch protrusions 1523 form fixing plate branch limiting grooves 1524.

[0030] The top of the branch plate 17 is provided with a branch plate groove 171, and the bottom of the branch plate groove 171 is at the same horizontal height as the bottom of the fixed plate branch plate limiting groove 1524. Multiple branch plate protrusions 172 are provided in the branch plate groove 171, and branch plate grooves 173 are provided between the branch plate protrusions 172. The top of the branch plate protrusions 172 is conical, and the length of the branch plate protrusions 172 in the middle is the longest.

[0031] In use, the wires can be separated one by one from the middle to both sides by inserting the wire splitting protrusion 172 on the plate, thereby achieving a good wire splitting effect. After separation, the wires can fall into the wire splitting limiting groove 1524 on the fixed plate and be limited and fixed by the wire splitting pressure plate 16. After the wire splitting is completed, the clamping mechanism 2 clamps the split wires and performs the subsequent process of connecting them to the wire harness.
