Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness processing technology, and in particular to a dual-wire clamping and transporting carrier. Background Technology

[0002] Twisted pair cable refers to a cable in which two conductors are twisted together at a certain pitch. Twisted pair cable can reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. In order to improve processing efficiency, the existing technology performs terminal crimping during the processing of twisted pair cable, so that the twisted pair cable can be directly used in the fields of automobiles, industrial control and communications after processing.

[0003] In related technologies, during the wire feeding and crimping process of wire harnesses, two clamping and transporting carriers are often used to process the ends of the two wire harnesses separately, and then the two wire harnesses with crimped terminals are twisted together. However, the inventors found that the above equipment requires two carriers and two crimping machines to operate synchronously, which results in a large space occupation and high cost of the processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a dual-line clamping and handling carrier, which adopts structural improvements to reduce the space occupation of dual-line handling and reduce costs.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a dual-line clamping transport carrier is provided, comprising:

[0006] The carrier body has two wire harness grippers with parallel clamping directions and two first driving members for driving the two wire harness grippers to move in the axial direction of clamping the wire harness.

[0007] A linear drive unit, connected to the vehicle body, is used to drive the vehicle body to move linearly in a direction perpendicular to its clamping direction;

[0008] The linear drive unit is used to drive the two wire harness grippers to the same processing position in sequence, and the first drive unit is used to drive the wire harness end on the wire harness gripper to extend into or out of the processing position.

[0009] Furthermore, the processing station is a peeling station, a pressing station, or a cutting station.

[0010] Furthermore, the first drive member is configured to move toward the machining station when it reaches the machining position, and to move away from the machining station after machining is completed.

[0011] Furthermore, the vehicle body also includes a first base and two first slide rails arranged parallel to the first base;

[0012] The two wire harness clamps are slidably connected to the first slide rail, the two first driving members are fixed on the first base, and the driving ends of the two first driving members are respectively connected to the two wire harness clamps.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle body also includes a second base and a second slide rail disposed on the second base. The second slide rail is disposed parallel to the first slide rail, and the first base is slidably connected to the second slide rail. It also includes a feed drive assembly disposed on the second base and connected to the first base. The feed drive assembly is used to adjust the position of the first base.

[0014] Furthermore, the feed drive assembly includes a lead screw rotatably connected to the second base, a nut seat screwed onto the lead screw and fixedly connected to the first base, and a second drive member fixed to the second base and connected to the lead screw for driving the lead screw to rotate.

[0015] Furthermore, the second driving component is a motor coaxially connected to the lead screw; or,

[0016] The second drive component includes a synchronous pulley fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw, a motor fixed on the second base, and a synchronous belt connecting the motor and the synchronous pulley.

[0017] Furthermore, the first driving component is a cylinder, and the second base also has a positioning detection sensor. The first base has a sensing element corresponding to the positioning detection sensor, and the sensing element blocks the positioning detection sensor when it is in the initial position.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting two wire harness grippers on the carrier body and driving the carrier body through a linear drive, the two wire harness grippers on the carrier body are moved to the processing position in sequence. With the above structure, compared with the prior art, only one linear drive is needed to move the two wire harnesses to the same processing station in sequence for processing, thereby saving the number of drive and processing stations, and thus reducing the space occupation and equipment cost of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] 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 in this specification 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6The dual-line clamping and conveying carrier shown includes a carrier body 1 and a linear drive component 2, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the carrier body 1 has two wire harness clamps 11 with parallel clamping directions and two first driving members 12 for driving the two wire harness clamps 11 to move in the axial direction of clamping the wire harness; in the embodiment of the present invention, the wire harness clamps 11 are prior art, and their function is to clamp the wire harness, such as common cylinder clamps.

[0031] The linear drive component 2, connected to the carrier body 1, is used to drive the carrier body 1 to move linearly in a direction perpendicular to its clamping direction. It should be noted that, in embodiments of this invention, the linear drive component 2 can take various forms, for example, it can be... Figure 1 The linear module shown in the figure drives the base to move along the axial direction of the lead screw by rotating the lead screw through the rotation of the lead screw. The carrier body 1 is fixed on the base of the linear drive 2. With this structural form, the position of the wire harness can be transferred.

[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, the linear drive 2 is used to sequentially drive the two wire harness grippers 11 to the same processing position, and the first drive 12 is used to drive the wire harness end on the wire harness gripper 11 to extend into or out of the processing position. Here, "sequentially" refers to first driving the carrier body 1 so that the first wire harness gripper 11 reaches the same processing position. Figure 2 Processing is performed at the processing position shown. After the cable processing of the first wire harness clamp 11 is completed, the carrier body 1 continues to move so that the second wire harness clamp 11 reaches the processing position for processing.

[0033] In the above embodiment, by setting two wire harness grippers 11 on the carrier body 1 and driving the carrier body 1 through the linear drive 2 so that the two wire harness grippers 11 on the carrier body 1 arrive at the processing position in sequence, by setting the above structure, compared with the prior art, only one linear drive 2 is needed to move the two wire harnesses to the same processing station in sequence for processing, thereby saving the number of drive and processing stations, and thus reducing the space occupation and equipment cost of the equipment.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, in the embodiments of this utility model, the processing station is a peeling station, a pressing station, or a cutting station. It should be noted that the peeling station, pressing station, and cutting station are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. In specific implementation, multiple processing positions can be set, with different processing stations set at each position. For example, peeling, pressing, and cutting stations can be set sequentially to achieve continuous processing operations and further improve processing efficiency.

[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, please continue to refer to... Figure 2 The first driving member 12 is configured to move toward the machining station when it reaches the machining position, and to move away from the machining station after machining is completed. It should be noted that the first driving member 12 is a linear driving member 2, and its implementation can be varied, such as a cylinder, or a rack and pinion structure driven by gears.

[0036] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the carrier body 1 also includes a first base 111 and two first slide rails 112 parallel to the first base 111; two wire harness grippers 11 are slidably connected to the first slide rails 112 respectively, and two first driving members 12 are fixed to the first base 111, with the driving ends of the two first driving members 12 respectively connected to the two wire harness grippers 11. The first slide rails 112 provide guidance for the movement of the wire harness grippers 11, which helps improve the accuracy of the movement of the wire harness grippers 11. With this configuration, after both ends of the wire harness are processed, the final winding of the two wire harnesses can produce a twisted pair cable with terminals at both ends, such as... Figure 4 As shown in the image.

[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please continue to refer to the following in order to adapt to different processing stations. Figure 3 The carrier body 1 also includes a second base 13 and a second slide rail 14 disposed on the second base 13. The second slide rail 14 is parallel to the first slide rail 112. The first base 111 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 14. It also includes a feed drive assembly 15 disposed on the second base 13 and connected to the first base 111. The feed drive assembly 15 is used to adjust the position of the first base 111. By slidably connecting the first base 111 to the second slide rail 14, and with the second slide rail 14 parallel to the first slide rail 112, the moving direction of the first base 111 is consistent with the moving direction of the wire harness gripper 11. The feed drive assembly 15 can have various structural forms, which will not be elaborated here. By driving the first base 111 through the feed drive assembly 15, the wire harness gripper 11 can adjust its extension distance to the processing station, further improving the adaptability of the dual-wire clamping and handling carrier.

[0038] For details regarding the specific structural form of the feed drive assembly 15, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 5In an embodiment of this utility model, the feed drive assembly 15 includes a lead screw 151 rotatably connected to a second base 13, a nut seat 152 screwed onto the lead screw 151 and fixedly connected to a first base 111, and a second drive member 153 fixed to the second base 13 and connected to the lead screw 151 for driving the lead screw 151 to rotate. In actual driving, the second drive member 153 drives the lead screw 151 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 151 causes the nut seat 152 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 151. Since the nut seat 152 is connected to the first base 111, the rotation of the lead screw 151 can drive the first base 111 to move. It should be noted that the second drive member 153 can have various structural forms. For example, the second drive member 153 may be a motor coaxially connected to the lead screw 151; or, the second drive member 153 may include a synchronous pulley fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 151, a motor fixed to the second base 13, and a synchronous belt connecting the motor and the synchronous pulley. In this way, the rotation of the electric motor drives the synchronous belt, which in turn drives the synchronous pulley to rotate, thereby driving the first base 111 to move back and forth.

[0039] Furthermore, in embodiments of this invention, by driving the first base 111 to move via the feed drive assembly 15, the following can also be achieved: Figure 6 The twisted-pair cable shown can be clamped at different lengths during processing. If the shorter wire bundle is not far enough under the drive of the first drive unit 12, the feed drive assembly 15 drives the first base 111 to move to make up the distance. In this way, two wire bundles with different lengths at both ends can be processed.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the first driving component 12 is a cylinder, and the second base 13 also has a position detection sensor 16. The first base 111 has a sensing element 17 corresponding to the position detection sensor 16. The sensing element 17 blocks the position detection sensor 16 when in the initial position. Specifically, the position detection sensor 16 can be implemented using a photoelectric sensor or a limit switch, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
