Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness production equipment, and in particular to an insertion machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of wire harnesses, wire harness terminals need to be inserted into the housing to form a complete wire harness structure. In the existing technology, the wire harness terminals are directly inserted into the housing. At this time, the position of the wire harness and the state between the wire harness and the housing after insertion are unknown, so it is impossible to determine whether the wire harness structure is qualified. It can only rely on subsequent related equipment for testing, which will increase the required equipment, thereby increasing production costs and affecting production efficiency.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] It should be noted that when an element is said to be "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is said to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. Conversely, when an element is said to be "directly on" another element, there is no intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an insertion machine is characterized in that it includes a worktable 1, and the upper side of the worktable 1 is provided with a wire inlet structure 2 for moving the wire;

[0038] The first wire-moving structure 3 is used to remove and move the wire at the position of the wire-in-line structure 2;

[0039] The second wire-moving structure 4 is used to move the wire to the position of the detection structure 5 and to the position outside the housing;

[0040] The detection structure 5 is used to rotate the wire and detect the terminals at the ends of the wire;

[0041] The inlet structure 6 is used to feed the plastic shell.

[0042] The insertion structure 7 is used to insert the terminal at the end of the wire into the housing and to detect the pulling force.

[0043] Before the wire harness terminals are inserted, they are inspected by the detection structure 5. At this time, the detection structure 5 will rotate the terminals simultaneously, so that multiple sides of the terminals can be inspected, thereby improving the yield rate of the wire harness products. At the same time, after the wire harness terminals are inserted into the housing, the insertion structure 7 will also perform a pull-back action to check whether the terminals are inserted tightly, so as to avoid the terminals being too loose during insertion, which would lead to quality problems in subsequent products.

[0044] The wire feeding structure 2 is used to feed the wire to the fixed terminal. In this embodiment, the wire feeding structure 2 includes a wire feeding lateral movement structure 21. The upper side of the moving end of the wire feeding lateral movement structure 21 is provided with a wire feeding plate. The two ends of the wire feeding plate are respectively provided with an abutment plate 22 and a clamping block 23, which are used to fix the wire feeding fixture at the upper position of the wire feeding plate. At this time, the wire is fixed by the wire clamp. The upper side of the wire clamp is provided with several grooves. The wire is snapped into the grooves, so the wire is well arranged on the wire clamp and will not be messy. Under the action of the wire feeding lateral movement structure 21, the wire feeding plate moves, thereby moving the wire clamp at the upper position. During the movement of the wire clamp, the first wire moving structure 3 can easily remove the wire.

[0045] Meanwhile, at this time, the two ends of the inlet plate are respectively provided with abutment plate 22 and clamping block 23. The abutment plate 22 is directly fixed to the inlet plate, and the clamping block 23 is controlled by the clamping cylinder set on the upper side of the inlet plate. After the wire clamp is placed on the upper side of the inlet plate, one end abuts against the abutment plate 22, and the other end is clamped by the clamping block 23 controlled by the clamping cylinder to clamp the inlet plate, thereby fixing and positioning the inlet plate.

[0046] The first wire transfer structure 3 is used to remove the wire from the wire clamp. In this embodiment, the first wire transfer structure 3 includes a first longitudinal moving module 31 fixed to the upper side of the workbench 1 by a bracket. The moving end of the first longitudinal moving module 31 is provided with a first transverse cylinder 32. The piston rod of the first transverse cylinder 32 is connected to a first clamping cylinder 33. The first clamping cylinder 33 is provided with two first jaws 34. Under the action of the first clamping cylinder 33, the two first jaws 34 clamp the wire, so that the terminal at the end of the wire is located outside the first jaws 34. This can avoid clamping the terminal during the clamping movement, thus preventing the terminal from deforming during the clamping process. At this time, the first jaws 34 move longitudinally under the action of the first longitudinal moving module 31 and move laterally under the action of the first transverse cylinder 32, thereby clamping and removing the wire harness at the upper side of the wire harness clamp and moving it to the position of the second wire transfer structure 4.

[0047] The second wire-moving structure 4 is used to move the wire harness to the position of the detection structure 5 and work together with the detection structure 5 to complete the rotation of the wire harness. In this embodiment, the second wire-moving structure 4 includes a second transverse guide rail 41 fixed on the upper side of the workbench 1. A second clamping cylinder 42 is connected to the upper side of the second transverse guide rail 41 through a slider. The second clamping cylinder 42 is provided with two second jaws 43. The detection part of the detection structure 5 is located on the side of the second transverse guide rail 41. After the second jaws 43 clamp the wire harness, the wire harness can be moved to the detection part position of the detection structure 5 under the action of the second transverse guide rail 41, thereby completing the terminal detection at the end position of the wire harness. At the same time, after the wire harness is rotated, it is also necessary to clamp the wire harness again by the second jaws 43.

[0048] At this time, in order to insert the second wire transfer structure 4 into the housing in the initial state, it is necessary to control the longitudinal movement of the second gripper 43. Therefore, a second longitudinal module is provided on the lower side of the second transverse guide rail 41 to control the longitudinal movement of the second gripper 43. It can control the second gripper 43 to insert the wire end into the housing (initially), and can also control the position of the rotating gripper 54 of the insertion detection structure 5.

[0049] The detection structure 5 is used to detect the terminals at the ends of wires. In this embodiment, the detection structure 5 includes a fixing plate 51. A rotating shaft 52 is provided through one side of the fixing plate 51. A rotating cylinder 53 is provided outside the rotating shaft 52. The rotating cylinder 53 has rotating grippers 54. A detection camera 55 is provided on the side of the rotating cylinder 53. A rotating motor 56 for controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 is provided on the other side of the fixing plate 51. The shaft of the rotating motor 56 has a driving wheel, and a driven wheel is provided outside the rotating shaft 52. A transmission belt is provided between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. Under the action of the rotating motor 56, the rotating shaft 52 can rotate, thereby allowing the rotating cylinder 53 to be selected. During the detection process, due to the detection... Since the camera 55 is fixed, the wire terminal needs to be rotated to detect the different side positions of the terminal. At this time, the terminal is first fixed by the rotating jaw 54 of the rotary motor 56, and then the second jaw 43 of the second clamping cylinder 42 releases the clamp on the wire. The rotary motor 56 rotates by a preset angle, thereby rotating the fixed terminal by a preset angle. The second jaw 43 of the second clamping cylinder 42 then clamps the wire. After the terminal rotates by a preset angle, the other side of the terminal can be checked by the detection camera 55 to complete the detection of the different sides of the terminal. After the detection is completed, the terminal needs to be rotated to the angle position for insertion into the housing. Of course, if the terminal is already in the corresponding angle position during the final detection process, no further rotation is required.

[0050] The insertion structure 7 is used to insert the terminal at the end of the wire into the housing. In this embodiment, the insertion structure 7 includes a first insertion structure 71 and a second insertion structure 72 arranged in parallel. The first insertion structure 71 and the second insertion structure 72 are respectively provided with a first insertion claw 713 and a second insertion claw 724, which clamp the tested wire bundle and insert it into the housing in sequence. At this time, the first insertion claw 713 first removes the wire from the position of the second claw 43 and moves forward to insert it into the housing. After a certain depth of insertion, the second insertion claw 724 fixes the wire, the first insertion claw 713 releases, and the second insertion claw 724 continues to move the wire forward, so that the wire is inserted deeper. After a certain depth of insertion, the second insertion claw 724 moves backward to test the pull-out force of the wire / terminal from the housing, thereby completing the process of inserting the wire terminal into the housing and testing the pull-out force after insertion.

[0051] Specifically, the first cable insertion structure 71 includes a first longitudinal module 711. The movable end of the first longitudinal module 711 is connected to a first cable insertion cylinder 712 via a first bracket. The first cable insertion cylinder 712 has two moving parts, which are respectively fixed to two first cable insertion claws 713. Furthermore, the second cable insertion structure 72 includes a second longitudinal module base 721. The movable end of the second longitudinal module is provided with a second vertical cylinder 722. The piston rod of the second vertical cylinder 722 is connected to a second cable insertion cylinder 723. The second cable insertion cylinder 723 has two moving parts, which are respectively fixed to two second cable insertion claws 724.

[0052] Meanwhile, to facilitate the loading of the housing, in this embodiment, the housing loading structure 6 includes a housing loading lateral movement module 61, and the moving end of the housing loading lateral movement module 61 is provided with a fixing strip 62 for fixing the housing. Under the action of the housing loading lateral movement module 61, the fixing strip 62 moves laterally, thereby moving the corresponding housing laterally. This ensures that the housing without wires / terminals is always aligned with the wiring structure 7, thereby ensuring the quality of wiring and realizing a fully automated process.

[0053] Finally, during the wire feeding process, due to the certain length of the wire, to avoid wire tangling and affecting the normal production rhythm, in this embodiment, a wire straightening structure 8 is also provided on the upper side of the workbench 1. The wire straightening structure 8 is located on the side of the wire inlet structure 2. The wire straightening structure 8 includes a horizontally arranged wire straightening cylinder 81. The piston rod of the wire straightening cylinder 81 is connected to a wire straightening plate 82. The wire straightening plate 82 has a V-shaped groove 83 on the side near the wire inlet structure 2, and the opening of the V-shaped groove 83 faces the wire inlet structure 2. Under the action of the wire straightening cylinder 81, the wire straightening plate 82 moves laterally, so that the V-shaped groove 83 contacts the wire from the side position, thereby allowing the wire to smoothly enter the position of the first wire transfer structure 3. This avoids the wire from becoming tangled when the terminal is inserted into the housing, thus ensuring the normal production progress.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
