Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wire processing technology, specifically a wire splitting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Wire splitting is a common process in electronics manufacturing and wire harness production. It is mainly used to split, cut, strip, and solder multi-core cables or wire harnesses according to requirements to meet the connection needs of different devices.
[0003] Such processes involve separate production steps, requiring a lot of semi-automation or manual labor, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, enterprises themselves need to upgrade and transform towards full automation or process automation. This semi-automatic workshop model with manual labor urgently needs to be eliminated.
[0004] One of the processing steps involves stripping the insulation from the beginning of the wire and then adjusting the three branch lines in the corresponding directions. Conventional equipment requires this branching action to be completed before the wire can be transferred to the connecting wire station for processing. This results in transfer time between different functional equipment, leading to low efficiency, which urgently needs improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a wire splitting mechanism that is highly automated, efficient, compatible with other devices, and more practical.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a wire splitting mechanism, comprising a splitting assembly and a frame. The splitting assembly includes a base plate and a fixing block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. A hydraulic cylinder is installed on one side of the fixing block, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the fixing block and is fixedly connected to a connecting block. Two prefabricated splitting arms are hinged to the other side of the fixing block. Connecting rods are respectively hinged to both sides of the outer surface of the connecting block via pins. The connecting block is connected to the two prefabricated splitting arms via the two connecting rods. A first parallel electric gripper is fixedly connected to one end of each prefabricated splitting arm. An external clamping arm is fixedly connected to both output ends of each first parallel electric gripper. An electric slide rail is installed above the fixing block. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the inner wall of the electric slide rail. A second parallel electric gripper is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. A rotating electric gripper is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate.
[0007] The above solution, through the coordinated operation of the branching components, frame, and conveyor components, significantly improves the automation and efficiency of wire branching. It is highly efficient, compatible with other equipment, and more practical. The process involves activating the electric telescopic rod to move the second parallel electric gripper downwards, then activating the second parallel electric gripper to perform the wire-picking operation. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rod moves the second parallel electric gripper, drawing the branch lines on both sides into the four external clamping arms. Then, the two first parallel electric grippers are activated, clamping the four external clamping arms onto the branch lines on both sides. Next, the hydraulic cylinder moves the connecting block, which, through two linkage rods, causes the two prefabricated branching arms to move away from each other, thereby moving the two first parallel electric grippers to both sides. This pulls the branch lines on both sides apart, completing the branching operation.
[0008] Furthermore, the second parallel electric gripper is located between the four external clamping arms, and there is no motion interference between the second parallel electric gripper and the four external clamping arms.
[0009] The above scheme defines the positional relationship between the second parallel electric gripper and the external clamping arm, which can avoid motion interference and is beneficial to the stable operation of wire splitting.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotating electric gripper is located on the side away from the fixed block and close to the frame.
[0011] The above solution limits the position of the rotating electric gripper, thus avoiding motion interference with other components.
[0012] Furthermore, the ends of the two connecting rods that are far apart from each other are respectively hinged to the sides of the two prefabricated branch arms that are close to each other.
[0013] The above scheme defines the connection between the connecting rod and the prefabricated dividing arm, so that the movement of the connecting block and the connecting rod can drive the movement of the prefabricated dividing arm, which is beneficial to stabilizing the dividing work.
[0014] Furthermore, an ascending block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed block, and one side of the electric slide rail is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ascending block.
[0015] The above solution allows for easy installation of the electric slide rail in a suitable position using the added heightening blocks, thus facilitating subsequent stable line splitting operations.
[0016] Furthermore, a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the side of the substrate away from the fixing block, and bolts are installed at the four corners of the connecting seat. The substrate is mounted on one side of the frame through the connecting seat.
[0017] The above solution allows the branching assembly to be positioned on one side of the rack via the connector, giving the device a certain degree of compatibility, saving transfer time, and improving work efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, a conveying assembly is installed on the top of the frame, and the upper surface of the conveying assembly is provided with multiple wire conveying boxes.
[0019] With the above solution, when the conveying component is started, it can move the wire conveying box, thereby facilitating subsequent processing work.
[0020] Furthermore, each of the wire conveying boxes has a wire body installed on its inner wall, and the rotating electric gripper is adapted to the outer surface of the wire body.
[0021] The above solution allows the wire conveyor box to easily move the wire body, facilitating the sequential operation of multiple processes. By defining the relationship between the rotating electric gripper and the wire body, the wire body can be easily positioned, which is beneficial for subsequent stable wire splitting.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] This wire sorting mechanism significantly improves the automation and efficiency of wire sorting through the coordinated operation of the sorting components, frame, and conveying components. It is highly efficient, compatible with other equipment, and more practical. During operation, the wire body moves to a designated position. Then, an electric telescopic rod is activated, driving the second parallel electric gripper downwards. The second parallel electric gripper then separates the three branch wires at one end of the wire body. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rod moves the second parallel electric gripper, pulling the branch wires on both sides into four external clamping arms. Then, two first parallel electric grippers are activated, clamping the four external clamping arms onto the branch wires on both sides. Next, a hydraulic cylinder moves the connecting block, causing two connecting rods to move the two pre-fabricated sorting arms away from each other, thus moving the two first parallel electric grippers to the sides. This separates the branch wires on both sides, completing the wire sorting process. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment of a wire splitting mechanism includes a splitting assembly 1 and a frame 2. The splitting assembly 1 includes a base plate 101 and a fixing block 102 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 101. A connecting seat 114 is fixedly connected to the side of the base plate 101 away from the fixing block 102. Bolts are installed at the four corners of the connecting seat 114. The base plate 101 is mounted on one side of the frame 2 through the connecting seat 114. The connecting seat 114 can be used to position the splitting assembly 1 on one side of the frame 2, giving the device a certain degree of compatibility, saving transfer time, and improving work efficiency. A conveyor belt is installed on the top of the frame 2. Component 3, the upper surface of the conveying component 3 is provided with multiple wire conveying boxes 4. When the conveying component 3 is started, it can drive the wire conveying boxes 4 to move, thereby facilitating subsequent processing. Each wire conveying box 4 has a wire body 5 installed on its inner wall. The rotating electric gripper 113 is adapted to the outer surface of the wire body 5. The wire conveying box 4 can easily drive the wire body 5 to move, thereby facilitating the sequential operation of multiple processes. By limiting the relationship between the rotating electric gripper 113 and the wire body 5, the wire body 5 can be easily positioned, which is beneficial to the subsequent stable wire splitting work.
[0033] Please see Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 A hydraulic cylinder 103 is installed on one side of the fixed block 102. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 103 passes through the fixed block 102 and is fixedly connected to a connecting block 104. Two prefabricated branching arms 105 are hinged to the other side of the fixed block 102. Connecting rods 106 are hinged to both sides of the outer surface of the connecting block 104 via pins. The connecting block 104 is connected to the two prefabricated branching arms 105 through the two connecting rods 106. The ends of the two connecting rods 106 that are far apart from each other are respectively hinged to the sides of the two prefabricated branching arms 105 that are close to each other, which limits the connection relationship between the connecting rods 106 and the prefabricated branching arms 105. In this way, the movement of the connecting block 104 and the connecting rods 106 can drive the prefabricated branching arms 105 to move, which is beneficial to the stable branching work. When the hydraulic cylinder 103 is started, it will drive the connecting block 104 to move. The movement of the connecting block 104 can be achieved by the two connecting rods 106. The two prefabricated branching arms 105 are moved closer or further apart. One end of each prefabricated branching arm 105 is fixedly connected to a first parallel electric gripper 107. The two output ends of each first parallel electric gripper 107 are fixedly connected to external clamping arms 108. When the first parallel electric gripper 107 is activated, the corresponding two external clamping arms 108 can move closer or further apart, thereby clamping the corresponding branch line. Then, in conjunction with the activation of the hydraulic cylinder 103, the branch lines on both sides can be branched. An electric slide rail 110 is installed above the fixing block 102. An ascending block 109 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block 102. One side of the electric slide rail 110 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ascending block 109. The ascending block 109 can be used to easily install the electric slide rail 110 in a suitable position, thereby facilitating subsequent stable branching work.
[0034] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5An electric telescopic rod 111 is installed on the inner wall of the electric slide rail 110. When the electric slide rail 110 is started, it can drive the electric telescopic rod 111 to move. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 111 is fixedly connected to a second parallel electric gripper 112. When the electric telescopic rod 111 is started, it can adjust the height of the second parallel electric gripper 112. When the second parallel electric gripper 112 is started, it can position the middle branch line and separate the branch lines on both sides. The second parallel electric gripper 112 is located between the four external clamping arms 108, and the second parallel electric gripper 112 will not move between itself and the four external clamping arms 108. The interference situation limits the positional relationship between the second parallel electric gripper 112 and the external wire clamping arm 108, which can avoid motion interference and is beneficial to the stable wire splitting operation. A rotary electric gripper 113 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the substrate 101. The rotary electric gripper 113 operates by a rotary clamping method, which can ensure that the wire body 5 is smoothly fed into the wire splitting assembly 1 for wire splitting processing. The rotary electric gripper 113 is located on the side away from the fixed block 102 and close to the frame 2, which limits the position of the rotary electric gripper 113 and can avoid motion interference with other components.
[0035] In this embodiment, a wire splitting mechanism significantly improves the automation and efficiency of wire splitting through the coordinated operation of the splitting component 1, the frame 2, and the conveying component 3. It is highly efficient, compatible with other equipment, and more practical. During actual operation, the wire body 5 moves to a designated position, and then the electric telescopic rod 111 is activated to drive the second parallel electric gripper 112 downwards. The second parallel electric gripper 112 then separates the three branch wires at one end of the wire body 5. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rod 111 is activated. The second parallel electric gripper 112 is moved to pull the branch lines on both sides into the four external clamping arms 108. Then, the two first parallel electric grippers 107 are activated so that the four external clamping arms 108 clamp the branch lines on both sides respectively. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 103 is activated to move the connecting block 104. In this way, the two connecting rods 106 can drive the two prefabricated branching arms 105 to move away from each other, thereby driving the two first parallel electric grippers 107 to move to both sides. In this way, the branch lines on both sides are pulled apart accordingly, completing the branching work.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: After the wire body 5 is moved to the wire conveying box 4 by the conveying component 3, the rotary electric gripper 113 is fixed to the preset position of the base plate 101 based on the connecting seat 114, and works with the wire conveying box 4 to accurately position the wire body 5. In the initial state, the rotary electric gripper 113 is in the unfolded state. Subsequently, the driving electric telescopic rod 111 drives the second parallel electric gripper 112 to move down, and the second parallel electric gripper 112 is used to separate the three branches at the beginning of the wire. The branch lines on both sides are guided to the clamping area of the external clamping arm 108 by the electric slide rail 110. At this time, the first parallel electric gripper 107 on both sides of the fixing block 102 is activated, driving the external clamping arm. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 103 pushes the connecting block 104 to move axially, and the connecting rod 106 pulls the prefabricated splitting arm 105 to unfold in the opposite direction around the hinge point, driving the external clamping arm 108 holding the branch line to move outward, realizing the precise separation of the split line. After the split line is completed, the conveying component 3 moves the wire conveying box 4 out of the workstation and into the next processing stage. The entire process achieves seamless connection with external equipment through the modular design of the frame 2. The dynamic avoidance mechanism of the electric slide rail 110 and the electric telescopic rod 111 ensures that there is no movement interference between the second parallel electric gripper 112 and the external clamping arm 108, which improves the splitting efficiency, optimizes the splitting accuracy, and is significantly better than the traditional manual or semi-automatic splitting process.
