Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire harness detection technology, specifically an auxiliary positioning structure for wire harness detection. Background Technology
[0002] Wire harnesses, as a crucial component of electrical systems, are widely used in high-tech fields such as automotive, aerospace, and electronic equipment. These wire harnesses have complex structures, typically containing numerous cables, connectors, and sheaths, used to transmit electrical signals or data. During the production process, the inspection of wire harnesses is essential for ensuring product quality and equipment safety.
[0003] Traditional manual inspection methods are slow and prone to errors, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In existing technologies, it is difficult to keep the wire harness neatly arranged during the inspection process. Once the arrangement is not neat, misjudgment is likely to occur. Furthermore, the lack of a guiding device causes the wire harness to easily deviate or shake when entering the inspection area, affecting the inspection accuracy. To address this, we propose an auxiliary positioning structure for wire harness inspection. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary positioning structure for wire harness detection, comprising a base, an initial groove formed on the base, the initial groove being connected to a guide groove, a fixed groove on the other side of the guide groove, a fixing component disposed within the fixed groove, a vertical plate disposed on the side of the base near the fixed groove, a lead screw disposed on the vertical plate, one end of the lead screw penetrating the vertical plate and connected to a motor, the other end of the lead screw extending to the initial groove, movable blocks disposed on the two lead screws, a connecting plate disposed at the bottom of the movable blocks, a hydraulic cylinder disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the hydraulic cylinder being connected to a gripper.
[0005] Preferably, the fixing component includes telescopic rods, which are disposed on both sides inside the fixing groove. Each telescopic end of the two telescopic rods is provided with a clamping part, and the opposite side of the clamping part is provided with a flexible pad, which can be adjusted according to the diameter or position of the wire harness to adapt to wire harnesses of different sizes.
[0006] Preferably, grooves are provided on both sides of the guide groove, and guide wheels are provided in the grooves. The guide wheels are connected to springs and are telescopically disposed in the grooves. When the wire harness passes through the guide wheels, the springs can automatically adjust the position of the guide wheels according to the diameter of the wire harness, ensuring that the guide wheels always maintain good contact with the wire harness, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the guide.
[0007] Preferably, there are multiple initial slots, guide slots, and fixed slots, and the number of hydraulic cylinders is equal to the number of hydraulic cylinders. The grippers are positioned corresponding to the initial slots, guide slots, and fixed slots, enabling simultaneous detection of multiple wire harnesses and greatly improving detection efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning ruler is provided on the side of the base, which is installed on the side of the base for accurately measuring the position and length of the wire harness. It is marked with a scale. By observing the position of the wire harness on the positioning ruler, the length and position of the wire harness can be accurately determined, providing an accurate reference for testing.
[0009] Preferably, an auxiliary support can be provided at the front end of the lead screw, and an extension frame can be provided at the bottom of the motor to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lead screw, prevent the lead screw from deforming or being damaged when rotating at high speed or bearing a large load, and extend the service life of the lead screw.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] During operation, the operator places the wire harness to be inspected into the initial slot on the base. The initial slot provides initial positioning for the wire harness, ensuring it is in the correct position before entering the guide slot. The motor controls the rotation of the lead screw, causing the moving block to move axially above the wire harness. At this point, the hydraulic cylinder actuates, pushing the grippers. The grippers close, holding the wire harness in the initial slot. The motor then reverses, moving the wire harness held by the grippers from the initial slot towards the fixed slot. During this movement, the wire harness moves along the guide slot. Guide wheels on both sides of the guide slot contact the wire harness, reducing friction between the wire harness and the guide slot and protecting the wire harness surface. Simultaneously... The guide wheel is connected by a spring and can automatically adjust its position according to the diameter of the wire harness, ensuring that the wire harness always remains in a straight line during movement and avoiding deviation or shaking. When the gripper moves the wire harness to the fixed slot position, the gripper releases the wire harness, the hydraulic cylinder drives the gripper to move upward, the fixing component starts to work, the telescopic rod moves, pushes the clamping part to clamp the wire harness, and fixes the wire harness in the fixed slot. The multi-slot design can detect multiple wire harnesses at the same time, which greatly improves the detection efficiency, ensures that the wire harness remains neat during movement, and avoids tangling between wire harnesses.

On the other side of the guide groove 3 is a fixing groove 4, in which a fixing component is provided. On the side of the base 1 near the fixing groove 4, a vertical plate 5 is provided, on which a lead screw 6 is provided. One end of the lead screw 6 passes through the vertical plate 5 and is connected to a motor 7, and the other end of the lead screw 6 extends to the initial groove 2. Moving blocks 8 are provided on the two lead screws 6, and a connecting plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the moving blocks 8. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 9, and the hydraulic cylinder 10 is connected to a gripper 11.
[0018] The fixing assembly includes telescopic rods 12, which are disposed on both sides inside the fixing groove 4. Each telescopic rod 12 has a clamping part 13 at its telescopic end. A flexible pad is provided on the opposite side of the clamping part 13, which can be adjusted according to the diameter or position of the wire harness to accommodate wire harnesses of different sizes.
[0019] The guide groove 3 has grooves on both sides, and guide wheels 14 are installed in the grooves. The guide wheels 14 are connected to the spring and are telescopically installed in the grooves. When the wire harness passes through the guide wheel, the spring can automatically adjust the position of the guide wheel according to the diameter of the wire harness to ensure that the guide wheel always maintains good contact with the wire harness, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the guide.
[0020] There are multiple initial slots 2, guide slots 3, and fixed slots 4, and the number of hydraulic cylinders 10 is equal to that of the initial slots 2, guide slots 3, and fixed slots 4. This enables simultaneous detection of multiple wire harnesses and greatly improves detection efficiency.
[0021] A positioning ruler 15 is provided on the side of the base 1. It is installed on the side of the base and is used to accurately measure the position and length of the wire harness. It is marked with a scale. By observing the position of the wire harness on the positioning ruler, the length and position of the wire harness can be accurately determined, providing an accurate reference for testing.
[0022] An auxiliary support can be installed at the front end of the lead screw 6, and an extension frame can be installed at the bottom of the motor 7 to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lead screw, prevent deformation or damage when the lead screw rotates at high speed or bears a large load, and extend the service life of the lead screw.
[0023] Working Principle: During operation, the operator places the wire harness to be tested into the initial slot 2 on the base 1. The initial slot provides initial positioning for the wire harness, ensuring it is in the correct position before entering the guide slot. The motor 7 controls the rotation of the lead screw 6, causing the moving block 8 to move axially above the wire harness. The hydraulic cylinder 10 then actuates, pushing the gripper 11 to close and hold the wire harness in the initial slot 2. The motor 7 reverses, moving the wire harness held by the gripper from the initial slot 2 towards the fixed slot 4. During this movement, the wire harness moves along the guide slot 3. The guide wheels 14 on both sides of the guide slot contact the wire harness, reducing friction between the wire harness and the guide slot and protecting the wire harness surface. The guide wheel is connected by a spring and can automatically adjust its position according to the diameter of the wire harness, ensuring that the wire harness always remains in a straight line during movement and avoiding deviation or shaking. When the gripper 11 moves the wire harness to the fixed groove 4, the gripper 11 releases the wire harness, the hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the gripper 11 to move upward, the fixing component starts to work, the telescopic rod 12 moves, pushes the clamping part 13 to clamp the wire harness, and fixes the wire harness in the fixed groove 4. The multi-groove design can detect multiple wire harnesses at the same time, which greatly improves the detection efficiency, ensures that the wire harness remains neat during movement, and avoids tangling between wire harnesses.
