Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire stranding processing, specifically to a four-wire conveying mechanism and a stranding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the wire harness industry, stranded wire is formed by interlocking two processed wire bundles at a specific pitch. Traditional stranding operations are zoned, requiring stripping, threading, and crimping of terminals at both ends of the wires before the stranded wire bundles are manually placed onto a stranding machine for stranding. This process is time-consuming and inefficient. The aim is to design a stranding machine capable of mechanized operation. This machine needs to smoothly transport the wire bundles across different areas, and the spacing between each group of wire bundles may change when switching between different operating mechanisms (e.g., the wire spacing at the feed point differs from the spacing during stranding). Therefore, a transport mechanism capable of handling and adapting to changes in wire spacing is required. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a four-wire conveying mechanism and a stranding machine.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A four-wire conveying mechanism includes a first conveying carriage, a first conveying driver, a second conveying carriage, a second conveying driver, and a conveying clamping wire assembly. The first conveying carriage is slidably mounted on a slide rail extending in a front-to-back direction. The first conveying driver is fixedly mounted and drives the first conveying carriage to slide back and forth. The second conveying carriage is slidably mounted on the first conveying carriage. The second conveying driver drives the second conveying carriage to slide left and right relative to the first conveying carriage. The conveying clamping wire assembly is mounted on the second conveying carriage and has two sets of double-wire clamping groups arranged side by side, and the spacing between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups is adjustable.
[0006] Furthermore, the four-line conveying mechanism also includes a third conveying carriage and a lifting driver. The third conveying carriage is slidably mounted on the second conveying carriage. The lifting driver is fixed on the second conveying carriage and drives the third conveying carriage to move the third conveying carriage up and down relative to the second conveying carriage. The conveying clamping line assembly is mounted on the third conveying carriage.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting driver is a lifting cylinder or a vertically arranged electric push rod.
[0008] Furthermore, in the two sets of double-wire clamping groups, one set of double-wire clamping groups can be slidably set left and right, and also includes a translation driver, which drives the slidable double-wire clamping group.
[0009] Furthermore, the translation actuator is a horizontally positioned push cylinder or electric push rod.

These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.
[0020] In the description of this invention, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a four-wire conveying mechanism, including a first conveying carriage 11, a first conveying driver 12, a second conveying carriage 14, a second conveying driver 13, and a conveying wire clamping group 2. The first conveying carriage 11 is slidably mounted on a slide rail extending in the front-back direction. The first conveying driver 12 is fixedly set and drives the first conveying carriage 11 to slide the first conveying carriage 11 back and forth. The second conveying carriage 14 is slidably mounted on the first conveying carriage 11. The second conveying driver 13 drives the second conveying carriage 14 to slide the second conveying carriage 14 left and right relative to the first conveying carriage 11. The conveying wire clamping group 2 is mounted on the second conveying carriage 14 and has two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 arranged side by side, and the distance between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 is adjustable. Specifically, each set of dual-wire clamping groups 20 can clamp two wires, and the two sets of dual-wire clamping groups 20 can clamp a total of four wires.
[0023] The four-wire conveying mechanism of this application has a first conveying driver 12 that drives the first conveying carriage 11 to slide back and forth, and a second conveying driver 13 that drives the second conveying carriage 14 to slide left and right relative to the first conveying carriage 11. It can effectively clamp and convey the wire harness in the front, back, left and right directions according to its position. At the same time, the spacing between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 is adjustable and can be adjusted and switched according to the change of the spacing between the claw clamping groups of the front and rear mechanisms to ensure smooth and accurate conveying and transfer.
[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the four-wire conveying mechanism further includes a third conveying slide 16 and a lifting driver 15. The third conveying slide 16 is slidably mounted on the second conveying slide 14. The lifting driver 15 is fixed on the second conveying slide 14 and drives the third conveying slide 16 to slide relative to the second conveying slide 14. The conveying clamping group 2 is mounted on the third conveying slide 16. This also allows for the lifting and lowering movement of the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20, making the four-wire conveying mechanism more flexible. Furthermore, the lifting driver 15 can be implemented using a lifting cylinder or a vertically arranged electric push rod. Of course, in other embodiments, if the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 do not require lifting operations, this lifting and lowering structure can be omitted, meaning the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 can be directly mounted on the second conveying slide 14.
[0025] In the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20, the double-wire clamping group 20 located on the left is defined as the first double-wire clamping group, and the double-wire clamping group 20 located on the right is defined as the second double-wire clamping group. In this embodiment, the first double-wire clamping group is fixedly installed on the third conveying slide 16. The third conveying slide 16 is also equipped with left-right extending guide rails 161, and the second double-wire clamping group can be slidably mounted on the guide rails 161. The system also includes a translation driver 162, which drives the second double-wire clamping group to achieve adjustable spacing between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20. Specifically, the translation driver 162 is a horizontally positioned push cylinder or electric push rod.
[0026] A buffer 30 is also provided between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20. The buffer 30 can be implemented by using a gas spring or other buffering devices to avoid rigid contact between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20.
[0027] Specifically, each double-line clamping group 20 has two clamping units 23 arranged side by side, and the spacing between the two clamping units 23 arranged side by side is adjustable; thus, the spacing between the two lines clamped by each double-line clamping group 20 is also adjustable, further improving the adaptability of the four-line conveying mechanism.
[0028] Furthermore, the adjustable structure described above is achieved as follows: each of the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 includes a mounting base 21, a slide cylinder 22, and two clamping units 23 arranged side by side. The slide cylinder 22 and one of the clamping units 23 are fixed to the mounting base 21, and the other clamping unit 23 is fixed to the slide cylinder 22. In this embodiment, the mounting base 21 of the first double-wire clamping group is fixed to the third conveying slide 16, and the mounting base 21 of the second double-wire clamping group is slidably mounted on the guide rail 161 of the third conveying slide 16. In this way, not only is the spacing between the two sets of double-wire clamping groups 20 adjustable, but the spacing between the two clamping units 23 of the same set of double-wire clamping groups 20 is also adjustable.
[0029] Of course, in other embodiments, if the spacing between the two wires in the same group does not change, the two clamping units 23 of each double-wire clamping group 20 can also be in a fixed position.
[0030] Furthermore, the four-line conveying mechanism also includes a fixing plate 17, which and the slide rail are both fixed to the external frame, and the first conveying driver 12 is fixed to the fixing plate 17; thus, the external installation of the four-line conveying mechanism is realized.
[0031] Furthermore, the first conveying driver 12 and the second conveying driver 13 mentioned above can be driven by existing technologies such as a drive cylinder, an electric push rod, or a linear drive device consisting of a motor and a belt.
[0032] This embodiment also provides a stranding machine, which includes at least the four-wire conveying mechanism described above.
[0033] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
