Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wire harness processing equipment technology, and in particular to a wire trough structure for a wire harness assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] A wire arrangement machine is an automated or semi-automated device used to organize and arrange wires (such as wires, cables, fibers, metal wires, etc.). By precisely controlling the distribution and fixation of the wires, it can improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention.

[0003] Especially for wire harness processing machines, some high-speed wires are not set to equal length in the machine. While it is relatively easy to cut wires with equal lengths, the cutting method for high-speed wires with unequal lengths is more complicated. Usually, different top plates are matched for different high-speed wire harness products. According to the grooves in different positions on the top plate, the high-speed wire harness is gradually stretched from below and pushed out of the grooves in the top plate by a mechanical spring. Then, the device below cuts it to obtain high-speed wire harnesses with unequal lengths. This method is relatively automatic through mechanical linkage, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make different top plates and cutters for different products. In addition, the springs will also become unbalanced in elasticity during long-term use, affecting the final yield of high-speed wire harnesses. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Appendix Figure 1-3 This is a schematic diagram of the cable tray structure of the cable tray machine in one embodiment of this application;

[0027] A cable tray structure for a cable tray, wherein a cable bundle is fed into one side of the cable tray structure through an external cable feeder 1, and then the cable is pulled out through a cable pulling mechanism 5 on the other side, including a machine base, a cable management component 2, a cable pressing component 3, a cable clamp 6 and a cutter component 4, wherein the cable management component 2, the cable pressing component 3 and the cutter component 4 are all mounted on the machine base;

[0028] Cable management assembly 2, which includes a bracket, a lower clamping wheel, an upper clamping wheel, a movable groove, and a cylinder;

[0029] The bracket is mounted on the machine base. The lower clamping wheel and the upper clamping wheel are both mounted on the bracket. The movable groove is mounted on the bracket and the two sides of the upper clamping wheel are embedded in the movable groove. The cylinder is mounted on the top of the bracket. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the upper clamping wheel. The cylinder drives the upper clamping wheel to move up and down in the movable groove.

[0030] The wire pressing assembly 3 includes a first support platform, a second support platform 301, a lower abutment plate 303, an upper pressing plate 304, a transverse drive component, and a plurality of wire pressing plates 306 and elastic pressing pins 305.

[0031] The lower abutment plate 303 is supported below the wire harness, and the upper pressure plate 304 is used to press against the lower abutment plate 303. There is a space between the upper pressure plate 304 and the lower abutment plate 303. The first support platform and the second support platform 301 are both provided on the machine platform. The first support platform is connected to the transverse drive member, and the transverse drive member is connected to the cable tray pressure plate 306. A plurality of elastic pressure pins 305 are inserted into the upper pressure plate 304. The cable tray pressure plate 306 moves up and down with the transverse drive member pressing the elastic pressure pins 305.

[0032] The cutting assembly 4 and the wire clamp 6 are used to cut the non-equal length wire bundles after they have been pressed by the wire pressing assembly 3. The wire clamp 6 holds the high-speed wire and pulls it in the direction of the wire pulling mechanism 5 towards the wire feeding frame 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transverse drive includes a fixed platform 309, a rotating shaft 308, a motor 310, and a wire pressing base 307;

[0034] The fixed platform 309 is fixedly connected to the first support platform. The output end of the motor 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 308. The rotating shaft 308 is horizontally placed on the fixed platform 309. The wire pressing seat 307 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 308. The wire pressing seat 307 moves laterally on the rotating shaft 308 as the rotating shaft 308 rotates. The bottom of the wire pressing seat 307 is a cable tray 306.

[0035] Specifically,

[0036] First, the worker guides the wire harness from the wire feeder 1 into the wire management assembly 2, the wire pressing assembly 3, and then onto the wire clamp 6 for fixation. The wire pulling mechanism 5 grips the wire clamp 6 and pulls it continuously in the wire feeding direction. In this motion, multiple high-speed wires are laid flat on the lower clamping wheel. Then, a cylinder drives the upper clamping wheel to press down, so that the high-speed wires are pressed and confined by the upper and lower clamping wheels. In the next step, the high-speed wires are laid flat on the lower support plate 303, which is fixed to the second support platform 301. A cylinder is also provided between the second support platform 301 and the lower support plate 303. The lower support plate 303 can be raised and lowered on the second support platform 301 by the cylinder 302, which can be adjusted according to the height of the high-speed wires to provide support. The upper pressure plate 304 is connected to the lower support plate 303, but there is a space between the upper pressure plate 304 and the lower support plate 303 to allow the high-speed wires to pass through. The upper pressure plate 304 is connected to the first support platform and is immovable. The motor 310 starts to rotate, driving the rotating shaft 308 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 308 will cause the threaded wire pressing seat 307 to move laterally on the rotating shaft 308. If the motor 310 rotates in the forward direction, the wire pressing seat 307 will move outward. If the motor 310 rotates in the reverse direction, the wire pressing seat 307 will move inward. There are two lateral movement drive components, which are respectively set on both sides above the upper pressure plate 304. The wire pressing seat 307 moves back and forth on the top of the upper pressure plate 304. Because the top of the upper pressure plate 304 has a cable tray pressure plate 306, the wire pressing seat 307 drives the cable tray pressure plate 306 to press down the elastic pressure needle 305 on the upper pressure plate 304 when it moves to the corresponding position. The pressed elastic pressure needle 305 will pass through the upper pressure plate 304 and press against the high-speed line.

[0037] The elastic pressure needle 305 is inserted into the upper pressure plate 304, and springs are provided on both sides of the elastic pressure needle 305.

[0038] As the wire pressing base 307 drives the cable tray 306 to pass, the elastic pressure needle 305 is squeezed downwards. The elastic pressure needle 305 passes through the upper pressure plate 304 and reaches the high-speed line on the lower abutment plate 303 to fix one of the high-speed lines.

[0039] In this embodiment, the motor 310 is also provided with an external signal interface 311. Through the external signal interface 311, the PLC program drives the motor 310 to rotate, which drives the wire pressing seat 307 and the cable tray pressing plate 306 to press the high-speed cable trays of different lengths according to the customer's order onto the elastic pressing needle 305, thereby producing high-speed cable trays of different lengths.

[0040] Two cable management components 2 are provided, and they are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the cable pressing component 3.

[0041] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
