Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly technology for car wiring harness insertion machines, specifically to a pre-assembly mechanism for the inner shell buckle of an automotive wiring harness insertion machine. Background Technology
[0002] After the automotive wiring harness terminal connector is inserted into the housing, in order to prevent the terminal from falling off due to vibration during vehicle operation and causing poor conductivity, an inner housing snap-fit accessory is added inside the housing to lock the terminal in place and prevent it from coming loose. This process requires the use of an inner housing snap-fit assembly mechanism.
[0003] However, the existing inner shell snap-fit pre-assembly mechanism still has the following technical problems in use:
[0004] Because the tolerance between the inner shell clip and the inner hole of the outer shell is sometimes small, when the inner shell is inserted into the outer shell, terminals have already been inserted in the previous process. This can easily cause secondary damage to the terminals during automatic insertion. Therefore, in many cases, the terminals are first inserted into the plastic shell, and then the inner shell clip is manually installed into the outer shell. A tooling fixture is then used to push the inner shell clip into place and lock the terminals. To address the characteristics of this product, the previous method of inserting the terminals first and then installing the inner shell clip needs to be changed. Instead, the inner shell clip should be pre-installed into the outer shell. Taking advantage of the tight fit between the inner and outer shells, the inner shell clip is pre-installed at the front end of the outer shell. After the terminals are inserted, the inner shell clip is then pushed into place.
[0005] Therefore, a pre-installation mechanism for the inner shell of an automotive wiring harness inserter is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

A cylinder 9 for rotating the inner shell latch by 90 degrees is fixedly installed. An inner shell latch rotating tray 10 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the base plate 3 of the inner shell latch rotating mechanism. The upper side wall of the inner shell latch rotating tray 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 9 for rotating the inner shell latch by 90 degrees. The side wall of the inner shell latch rotating tray 10 has evenly distributed inner shell latch limiting holes. A third support frame 11 is fixedly installed on the left end of the upper side wall of the second support frame 8. An inner shell latch pressing cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the third support frame 11. An inner shell latch pushing rod 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner shell latch pressing cylinder 12. An inner shell latch pressing guide hole 14 is opened on the left side wall of the base plate 3 of the inner shell latch rotating mechanism. The left end of the first support frame 1 is fixedly installed with... A shell flipping mechanism bracket 15 is provided. A shell flipping 90-degree cylinder 16 is installed on the left side wall of the shell flipping mechanism bracket 15. Symmetrical shell flipping mechanism side baffles 17 are rotatably installed on the right side wall of the shell flipping mechanism bracket 15. A shell flipping material frame 18 is fixedly installed between the two shell flipping mechanism side baffles 17. The right end of the shell flipping 90-degree cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell flipping mechanism side baffle 17. The inner shell snap-fit horizontal rotation mechanism is composed of an inner shell snap-fit horizontal rotation mechanism base plate 3, an inner shell snap-fit horizontal rotation tray 10, an inner shell snap-fit horizontal rotation cylinder 9, an inner shell snap-fit pressing cylinder 12, and an inner shell snap-fit pushing rod 13. The shell flipping mechanism bracket 15 and the shell flipping 90-degree cylinder 16 are also included. The outer shell flipping frame 18 and the outer shell flipping mechanism side baffle 17 constitute the outer shell flipping mechanism. The outer shell flipping mechanism is located at the left outlet of the outer shell feeding guide 6. The outer shell flipping frame 18 is aligned with the outlet of the outer shell feeding guide 6. The outer shell 7 comes out of the outer shell feeding guide 6 and directly enters the outer shell flipping frame 18. The outer shell flipping frame 18 of this invention is provided with an outer shell flipping 90-degree cylinder 16 on the left side. The cylinder is fixed on the outer shell flipping mechanism below. The main shaft of the outer shell flipping 90-degree cylinder is connected to the outer shell flipping frame 18. Driven by the main shaft of the outer shell flipping 90-degree cylinder, the outer shell 7 assembly with the inner shell buckle 5 installed in the outer shell flipping frame 18 is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state, which facilitates the horizontal insertion of the crimping terminal.

[0022] The inner shell buckle feeding guide groove 4 and the outer shell feeding guide groove 6 are arranged at 90 degrees. The outer shell 7 and the inner shell buckle 5 are in a vertical state in the outer shell feeding guide groove 6 and the inner shell buckle feeding guide groove 4, respectively, so that the inner shell buckle 5 can be easily pushed into the inner hole of the outer shell 7 from above.
[0023] The outer shell feeding guide 6 is located below the inner shell buckle flat turn tray 10, which makes it convenient to directly press and snap into the interior of the outer shell 7 after the inner shell buckle 5 is rotated 90 degrees.
[0024] Working principle: First, the outer shell 7 is evenly arranged and moves at a constant speed inside the outer shell feeding guide 6. The inner shell buckles 5 are evenly arranged and move at a constant speed inside the inner shell buckle feeding guide 4. When the inner shell buckles 5 move to the inner shell buckle limiting port on the side wall of the inner shell buckle rotating tray 10, the inner shell buckle rotating 90-degree cylinder 9 is activated, which drives the lower inner shell buckle rotating tray 10 to rotate, thereby moving the inner shell buckles 5 to the upper end of the outer shell 7. Then, the inner shell buckle pressing cylinder 1 is activated. 2. The inner shell buckle pressing cylinder 12 drives the lower inner shell buckle pushing rod 13 to move down, pushing the inner shell buckle 5 into the inner shell 7 and engaging it. After assembly, it falls into the inner shell buckle pressing guide port 14 and into the inner shell flipping material frame 18 for collection. The outer shell flipping 90-degree cylinder 16 works, driving the outer shell flipping mechanism side baffle 17 and the outer shell flipping material frame 18 to rotate, and pouring out the assembled outer shell 7 and inner shell buckle 5.
