Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-speed wire processing equipment technology, specifically a wire splitting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In current fields such as high-speed data transmission, vehicle communication, and industrial control, high-speed signal lines are widely used for wiring connections. These high-speed lines typically have physical characteristics such as small wire diameter, high flexibility, smooth surface, and thin insulation layer. They also often exist in the form of different wire positions and sequences at the two ends of the wire harness, which places higher demands on the stability and consistency of the wiring process.

[0003] At present, most of the wire separation operations on high-speed lines still rely on manual labor. Workers need to manually identify, separate, and insert the specified wires from the bundle into the corresponding clamps or connectors. In this process, in order to successfully extract the wires, it is often necessary to loosen the clamping structure of the entire bundle to allow the wires to be in a relatively free state. However, due to the material of the high-speed lines themselves, once there is a lack of effective pressure restraint, it is very easy for the wires to move forward, spring back, get knotted, or become misaligned, leading to operation failure or a decrease in the precision of the finished product.

[0004] Furthermore, manual operation is limited by visual recognition, hand precision, and the stability of repetitive operations, resulting in significant deficiencies in overall controllability and reliability, making it unsuitable for current production requirements of automated processing of high-density, high-speed wire harnesses. Therefore, a wire splitting mechanism is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7 A wire-separating mechanism includes a wire-pressing assembly 1, which comprises at least one wire-pressing drive device 11, at least one wire-pressing base 12, and at least one wire-pressing block 13. The wire-pressing blocks 13 are respectively installed on the top of the wire-pressing base 12, and a fixture placement opening 14 is formed between them. A wire-taking slit 15 is formed between the wire-pressing blocks 13 installed above the fixture placement opening 14, and the slit 15 intersects with the fixture placement opening 14. The wire-pressing drive device 11 is connected to the wire-pressing base 12 and drives it to drive the wire-pressing blocks 13 to perform wire-pressing action. The wire-pressing drive device 11 is specifically composed of at least one motor or cylinder. The wire-pressing base 12 connected to it is mounted on a wire-pressing slider base 122 with a slide rail through a wire-pressing slider 121 and moves up, down, left, and right to complete the wire-pressing action.

[0032] It also includes a wire splitting assembly 2 that is movably disposed on one side of the wire pressing assembly. The wire splitting assembly 2 consists of at least one wire splitting gripper 21 and at least one gripper driving device 22. The at least one gripper driving device 22 is connected to at least one wire splitting gripper 21 and moves it above the wire pressing block 13. The gripper driving device 22 is specifically composed of at least one motor or cylinder. The wire splitting gripper 21 connected to it is mounted on a wire splitting slider base 212 with a slide rail through a wire splitting slider 211 and moves up, down, left, and right to complete the wire clamping action.

[0033] The system also includes a wire clamp assembly 3, which is movably disposed on one side of the wire distribution assembly. The wire clamp assembly 3 comprises at least one wire clamp placement block 31 and a wire clamp placement block driving device 32. The wire clamp placement block 31 has a wire clamp placement groove 311. The wire clamp placement block driving device 32 connects to the wire clamp placement block 31 and moves it above the wire pressing block 13. Specifically, the wire clamp placement block driving device 32 is composed of at least one motor or cylinder. The wire clamp placement block 31 connected to it is mounted on a wire clamp placement slider base 313 with a slide rail via a wire clamp placement slider 312, allowing it to move up, down, left, and right to complete the feeding action.

[0034] Preferably, it further includes at least one pressure block driving device, which is specifically a motor or cylinder, connected to the pressure block 12 to drive the pressure block 13 to open and close the slit 15, thereby realizing the pressure of a single pressure block 13.

[0035] Working principle: The jig containing the wire is placed in the jig placement opening 14 between the wire pressing block 13 and the wire pressing seat 12. The wire pressing drive device 11 drives the wire pressing seat 12 to move downward, causing the wire pressing block 13 to press one end of the wire. The gripper drive device 22 drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move to the single or multiple wires that need to be separated, clamping one section and taking it vertically upward through the slit 15. After that, the wire pressing block drive device drives the wire pressing block 13 to close the slit 15, pressing and limiting the remaining wire at one end to prevent rewinding, loosening, and displacement. The gripper drive device 22 then drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move upward again, taking the other section (the whole wire) vertically upward until it is completely removed. After moving to the wire clamp placement block 31, the wire is inserted into the wire clamp. The wire pressing block drive device stops driving the wire pressing block 13. At this time, The slit 15 is reset and opened, and the wire pressing block 13 moves to another wire that needs to be removed and presses one end of it. The gripper drive device 22 drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move to another single or multiple wires that need to be separated. After clamping one section of the wire and taking it vertically upward through the slit 15, the wire pressing block drive device drives the wire pressing block 13 to close the slit 15 again, pressing and limiting the remaining wire at one end to prevent rewinding, loosening, and displacement. The gripper drive device 22 drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move upward again, vertically upward until the other section (whole wire) of the wire is completely removed. After moving to the wire clamp placement block 31, the wire is inserted into the wire clamp. The above steps are repeated until a specific number of wires are separated. Then, the wire clamp placement block drive device 32 drives the wire clamp placement block 31 to move to the designated position for unloading. This invention achieves both stable pressing and spatial avoidance during the wire separation process by setting a slit 15 structure between the wire pressing blocks 13 and using its opening and closing, combined with the operation of the wire separating claw 21 to grasp the wire. This significantly improves the controllability and reliability of the automatic wire separation process. Compared with the problem of the wire being easily displaced, rebounded, or knotted due to the need to loosen the entire wire during the traditional manual extraction process, the staggered pressing design of this solution can ensure that the unprocessed section of wire is always in a pressed state throughout the entire wire separation cycle, effectively preventing the wire from moving forward, slipping, or shaking. It is particularly suitable for high-speed wires with small diameter, high flexibility, or dense arrangement.

[0036] This solution proposes a highly flexible automated wire splitting mechanism that supports a basic splitting configuration of at least 2×2 double-row cables. Through its structural layout design, the number of channels can be infinitely expanded horizontally and vertically according to different production line layouts and process requirements, exhibiting excellent system scalability and versatility. This solution is particularly suitable for high-speed wire harness splitting scenarios, especially in complex processing where wires with different positions, sequences, signal types, or color codes are mixed at both ends of the wire harness. Each wire can be independently identified, located, extracted, and inserted into the corresponding clamp through a preset clamping path and extraction strategy, achieving precise wire splitting and effectively avoiding common process problems such as cross-connection, misconnection, and omission. Compared to traditional manual wire clamping, this solution uses the alignment and coordination of the opening and closing of the slit 15 to ensure that the unprocessed wire remains compressed throughout the wire separation process, greatly improving the stability of the wire and the precision of the gripper operation. In summary, even with a significant increase in the number of wires to be separated, this solution can still maintain synchronized and logically orderly actions, improving production efficiency while ensuring the consistency and traceability of wire separation quality.

[0037] Preferably, the device further includes a wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 and a wire opening and closing pressure plate driving device 41. The wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 is connected to the wire opening and closing pressure plate driving device 41 and is disposed on one side of the fixture placement opening 14. More preferably, the wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 is also equipped with several pressure rollers 42. This solution provides auxiliary limiting for the wire during the insertion of the wire into the wire clamping fixture 5. Through the pressure rollers 42 with elastic pre-tightening function, the wire can always maintain an appropriate contact and holding state during the insertion action, thereby effectively preventing displacement, swaying, or positional deviation caused by the flexibility or inertia of the wire itself without interfering with the natural direction of the wire. Unlike the traditional method of limiting by rigid positioning blocks or slots, the opening and closing pressure plate 4 of this design has the ability to flexibly fit and quickly open. The rolling contact characteristics of the pressure rollers 42 enable them to automatically adapt to the slight displacement of the wire during the insertion action, forming a dynamic auxiliary alignment effect. It is particularly suitable for application scenarios where multiple wires are inserted at the same time or in multi-row fixture structures where the positional consistency requirements are high.

[0038] Preferably, the device further includes a wire pressing fixture 5 and a fixture driving device 51. The fixture driving device 5 is connected to the wire pressing fixture 5 and slides it along the axis on one side of the fixture placement opening 14 via a fixture slider seat 52. The fixture driving device 51 can drive the fixture to reach the fixture placement opening 14 through the fixture slider seat 52 to perform wire separating operations. In this solution, the wire pressing fixture 5 can be in a retracted position during non-separation stages to avoid interfering with wire pressing or gripper operations. Before and after the wire separating operation, the wire pressing fixture 5 can accurately enter the working area along the track according to the program instructions, providing the required pressing support, wire insertion limit, or other auxiliary functions at the designated position. With the help of the guiding structure of the fixture slider seat 52, the stability and repeatability of the fixture during movement can be ensured, and the overall coordination and consistency of the device can be maintained even during high-speed or multi-cycle operation. The fixture driving device 51 is specifically a motor or a cylinder.

[0039] Preferably, a wire straightening assembly 6 is movably disposed on the side of the wire clamp assembly 2. The wire straightening assembly 6 consists of a wire straightening drive device 61 and upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62. The wire straightening drive device 61 is connected to the upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62 to drive them to straighten the wire after clamping it. The wire straightening drive device 61 drives the upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62 to work together to organize and shape the wires that have been inserted into the wire clamp. The purpose of this structural design is to straighten, lightly press, and adjust the state of the wires at the ends after the wire splitting and insertion actions are completed, so that the state of the wires after being clamped tends to be consistent, eliminating the slight bending, skew, or twisting caused by the insertion action, and improving the neatness and operability of wiring in subsequent wiring or assembly processes.

[0040] Preferably, at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 is also provided above the wire clamp placement slot 311, and at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 faces the wire clamp placement slot 311. A wire clamp is also included between the wire clamp placement slot 311 and the wire-pressing cylinder 33, and the wire clamp is detachably installed at the wire clamp placement slot 311. In this design, the structural design of providing at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 above the wire clamp placement slot and aligning it directly with the wire clamp placement slot 311 allows the wire clamping cylinder 311 to provide directional and vertical pressing force after the wire is inserted into the wire clamp, thus stabilizing the wire and preventing problems such as the wire being suspended, floating, or shifting position after insertion. Combined with the detachable installation method of the wire clamp body, it enables rapid replacement and fine-tuning of the position for different wire types or arrangement densities, thereby improving clamping stability and equipment versatility. This structure realizes a closed-loop action of wire insertion, instant holding, and rapid release, ensuring the consistency of positioning accuracy and insertion effect after wire separation. It is especially suitable for the wire processing requirements of fine diameter, high flexibility, and high density arrangement.

[0041] Preferably, the wire splitting assembly 2 consists of two wire splitting jaws 21 and two jaw driving devices 22. The two jaw driving devices 22 are respectively connected to the two wire splitting jaws 21 and move them above the wire pressing block 13. Each set of driving devices 22 is independently connected to the corresponding wire splitting jaw 21 and arranged above the wire pressing block 13. The structure of this scheme adopts a symmetrical independent control design, which can realize bidirectional, segmented, and precise clamping path planning, improving the ability to identify and clamp specific wires in high-density wire harnesses. Compared with the traditional single-drive linkage structure, the dual-jaw independent control has stronger path avoidance ability and operational flexibility when facing irregularly arranged or multi-specification mixed wires, and can effectively avoid mis-clamping, cross interference, or action conflict. The structural layout of this scheme, combined with the staggered wire pressing block 13, constructs a stable wire splitting path of asymmetrical clamping—segmented extraction—re-alignment extraction, significantly improving the overall operation accuracy and adaptability.

[0042] Preferably, the wire pressing drive device 11, the gripper drive device 22, and the wire clamp placement block drive device 32 are all composed of cylinders or motors. In this design, the drive devices all use cylinders or motors as power units. The specific selection can be flexibly made according to actual accuracy requirements, time control requirements, and wiring space. Cylinders are suitable for process nodes with short strokes and fast action requirements, while motors are suitable for scenarios requiring precise positioning, multi-segment control, or continuous programmable operation. This design mode has good control strategy compatibility and hardware flexibility, and the drive logic can be adjusted according to the production line cycle time to meet the operating requirements under various control systems, achieving rapid adaptation and stable operation of the equipment under different product models or process paths.

[0043] Preferably, the system also includes a machine base 7, on which the wire pressing assembly 1, the wire splitting assembly 2, and the wire clamp assembly 3 are respectively mounted. The entire set of wire pressing assembly 1, wire splitting assembly 2, and wire clamp assembly 3 is integrated and mounted on a unified machine base 7 structure, realizing fully automated and coordinated processes from wire clamping, extraction, alignment to insertion. The machine base 7, as a bearing and positioning reference platform, not only provides structural support for each component, but also ensures spatial coordination and assembly stability among the various execution parts through integrated wiring, spatial isolation, and modular guidance.

[0044] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-7A wire-separating mechanism includes a wire-pressing assembly 1, which comprises at least one wire-pressing drive device 11, at least one wire-pressing base 12, and at least one wire-pressing block 13. The wire-pressing blocks 13 are respectively installed on the top of the wire-pressing base 12, forming fixture placement openings 14 between them. A wire-taking slit 15 is formed between the wire-pressing blocks 13 installed above the fixture placement openings 14, intersecting with the fixture placement openings 14. The wire-pressing drive device 11 is connected to the wire-pressing base 12 and drives it to move the wire-pressing blocks 13 to perform the wire-pressing action. More preferably, the above structure can be arranged in groups of at least two at intervals. The wire-pressing drive device 11 is specifically composed of at least one motor or cylinder, and the wire-pressing base 12 connected to it is mounted on a wire-pressing slider base 122 with a slide rail via a wire-pressing slider 121, allowing it to move up, down, left, and right to complete the wire-pressing action.

[0045] It also includes a wire splitting assembly 2 that is movably disposed on one side of the wire pressing assembly. The wire splitting assembly 2 consists of at least one wire splitting gripper 21 and at least one gripper driving device 22. The at least one gripper driving device 22 is connected to at least one wire splitting gripper 21 and moves it above the wire pressing block 13. The gripper driving device 22 is specifically composed of at least one motor or cylinder. The wire splitting gripper 21 connected to it is mounted on a wire splitting slider base 212 with a slide rail through a wire splitting slider 211 and moves up, down, left, and right to complete the wire clamping action.

[0046] The system also includes a wire clamp assembly 3, which is movably disposed on one side of the wire distribution assembly. The wire clamp assembly 3 comprises at least one wire clamp placement block 31 and a wire clamp placement block driving device 32. The wire clamp placement block 31 has a wire clamp placement groove 311. The wire clamp placement block driving device 32 connects to the wire clamp placement block 31 and moves it above the wire pressing block 13. Specifically, the wire clamp placement block driving device 32 is composed of at least one motor or cylinder. The wire clamp placement block 31 connected to it is mounted on a wire clamp placement slider base 313 with a slide rail via a wire clamp placement slider 312, allowing it to move up, down, left, and right to complete the feeding action.

[0047] Working principle: The jigs containing the wires are placed in the jig placement openings 14 between a set of wire pressing blocks 13 and wire pressing bases 12. The wire pressing drive device 11 drives the wire pressing base 12 to move downwards, causing the wire pressing blocks 13 to press one section of the wire. At the same time, another wire pressing drive device 11 drives another wire pressing base 12 to move downwards, causing another wire pressing block 13 to press the other section of the wire. At this moment, the wire picking openings 15 of both devices are misaligned. The gripper drive device 22 drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move to the single or multiple wires that need to be separated, picks up one section, and removes it vertically upwards through the opening 15. The other wire pressing drive device... 11 drives another wire pressing seat 12 to move upward, causing another wire pressing block 13 to move its opening 15 to the opening of the previous wire pressing block 13 where a section of wire has been taken out. At this moment, the wire taking openings 15 of both are aligned with each other. The gripper drive device 22 drives the wire separating gripper 21 to move upward again, and after the other section (whole wire) of the wire is completely taken out vertically upward through the opening 15 of the other wire pressing block 13, it is moved to the wire clamp placement block 31 and the wire is inserted into the wire clamp. The above steps are repeated until a specific number of wires are separated. Then the wire clamp placement block drive device 32 drives the wire clamp placement block 31 to move to the designated position for unloading. This invention achieves both stable pressing and spatial avoidance during the wire separation process by setting a slit structure 15 between a group of wire pressing blocks 13 and arranging them in a staggered manner, combined with the operation method of sequentially extracting wires in segments by wire separating claws 21. This significantly improves the controllability and reliability of the automatic wire separation process. Compared with the problem of the wire being easily displaced, rebounded, or knotted due to the need to loosen the entire wire during the traditional manual extraction process, the staggered pressing design of this solution can ensure that the unprocessed wire segments are always in a pressed state throughout the entire wire separation cycle, effectively preventing the wires from moving forward, slipping, or shaking. It is particularly suitable for high-speed wires with small diameter, high flexibility, or dense arrangement.

[0048] Furthermore, in this design, when the wire separating jaws 21 extract one segment of the wire, the gaps 15 on the clamping blocks 13 of the other segment of the wire will not form a complete opening due to misalignment, ensuring that the wire separating jaws 21 can smoothly enter without interfering with the unextracted wire. After the wire separating jaws 21 completes the extraction of the first segment, the other clamping block 13 moves upward to complete the alignment of the gaps 15, allowing the entire wire to be smoothly extracted. This design of segmented release and full-process clamping balances the openness of the clamping path with the stability of the wire itself, effectively avoiding accuracy errors and multi-wire interference problems caused by releasing the entire wire.

[0049] This solution proposes a highly flexible automated wire splitting mechanism that supports a basic splitting configuration of at least 2×2 double-row cables. Through its structural layout design, the number of channels can be infinitely expanded horizontally and vertically according to different production line layouts and process requirements, exhibiting excellent system scalability and versatility. This solution is particularly suitable for high-speed wire harness splitting scenarios, especially in complex processing where wires with different positions, sequences, signal types, or color codes are mixed at both ends of the wire harness. Each wire can be independently identified, located, extracted, and inserted into the corresponding clamp through a preset clamping path and extraction strategy, achieving precise wire splitting and effectively avoiding common process problems such as cross-connection, misconnection, and omission. Compared to traditional manual wire clamping, this solution uses a 15-slit misalignment and alignment mechanism to ensure that unprocessed wires remain compressed throughout the wire separation process, greatly improving wire stability and gripper operation accuracy. In summary, this solution maintains synchronized and logically orderly operations even with a significant increase in the number of wires to be separated, improving production efficiency while ensuring consistency and traceability of wire separation quality.

[0050] Preferably, the device further includes a wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 and a wire opening and closing pressure plate driving device 41. The wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 is connected to the wire opening and closing pressure plate driving device 41 and is disposed on one side of the fixture placement opening 14. The wire opening and closing pressure plate 4 is also equipped with several pressure rollers 42. This solution provides auxiliary limiting for the wire during the insertion of a section of the wire into the wire clamping fixture 5. Through the pressure rollers 42 with elastic pre-tightening function, the wire can always maintain an appropriate contact and holding state during the insertion action, thereby effectively preventing displacement, swaying, or positional deviation caused by the flexibility or inertia of the wire itself without interfering with the natural direction of the wire. Unlike the traditional method of limiting by rigid positioning blocks or slots, the opening and closing pressure plate 4 of this design has the ability to flexibly fit and quickly open. The rolling contact characteristics of the pressure rollers 42 enable them to automatically adapt to the slight displacement of the wire during the insertion action, forming a dynamic auxiliary alignment effect. It is particularly suitable for application scenarios where multiple wires are inserted at the same time or in multi-row fixture structures where the positional consistency requirements are high.

[0051] Preferably, the device further includes a wire pressing fixture 5 and a fixture driving device 51. The fixture driving device 5 is connected to the wire pressing fixture 5 and slides it along the axis on one side of the fixture placement opening 14 via a fixture slider seat 52. The fixture driving device 51 can drive the fixture to reach the fixture placement opening 14 through the fixture slider seat 52 to perform wire separating operations. In this solution, the wire pressing fixture 5 can be in a retracted position during non-separation stages to avoid interfering with wire pressing or gripper operations. Before and after the wire separating operation, the wire pressing fixture 5 can accurately enter the working area along the track according to the program instructions, providing the required pressing support, wire insertion limit, or other auxiliary functions at the designated position. With the help of the guiding structure of the fixture slider seat 52, the stability and repeatability of the fixture during movement can be ensured, and the overall coordination and consistency of the device can be maintained even during high-speed or multi-cycle operation. The fixture driving device 51 is specifically a motor or a cylinder.

[0052] Preferably, a wire straightening assembly 6 is movably disposed on the side of the wire clamp assembly 2. The wire straightening assembly 6 consists of a wire straightening drive device 61 and upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62. The wire straightening drive device 61 is connected to the upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62 to drive them to straighten the wire after clamping it. The wire straightening drive device 61 drives the upper and lower wire straightening blocks 62 to work together to organize and shape the wires that have been inserted into the wire clamp. The purpose of this structural design is to straighten, lightly press, and adjust the state of the wires at the ends after the wire splitting and insertion actions are completed, so that the state of the wires after being clamped tends to be consistent, eliminating the slight bending, skew, or twisting caused by the insertion action, and improving the neatness and operability of wiring in subsequent wiring or assembly processes.

[0053] Preferably, at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 is also provided above the wire clamp placement slot 311, and at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 faces the wire clamp placement slot 311. A wire clamp is also included between the wire clamp placement slot 311 and the wire-pressing cylinder 33, and the wire clamp is detachably installed at the wire clamp placement slot 311. In this design, the structural design of providing at least one wire-pressing cylinder 33 above the wire clamp placement slot and aligning it directly with the wire clamp placement slot 311 allows the wire clamping cylinder 311 to provide directional and vertical pressing force after the wire is inserted into the wire clamp, thus stabilizing the wire and preventing problems such as the wire being suspended, floating, or shifting position after insertion. Combined with the detachable installation method of the wire clamp body, it enables rapid replacement and fine-tuning of the position for different wire types or arrangement densities, thereby improving clamping stability and equipment versatility. This structure realizes a closed-loop action of wire insertion, instant holding, and rapid release, ensuring the consistency of positioning accuracy and insertion effect after wire separation. It is especially suitable for the wire processing requirements of fine diameter, high flexibility, and high density arrangement.

[0054] Preferably, the wire splitting assembly 2 consists of two wire splitting jaws 21 and two jaw driving devices 22. The two jaw driving devices 22 are respectively connected to the two wire splitting jaws 21 and move them above the wire pressing block 13. Each set of driving devices 22 is independently connected to the corresponding wire splitting jaw 21 and arranged above the wire pressing block 13. The structure of this scheme adopts a symmetrical independent control design, which can realize bidirectional, segmented, and precise clamping path planning, improving the ability to identify and clamp specific wires in high-density wire harnesses. Compared with the traditional single-drive linkage structure, the dual-jaw independent control has stronger path avoidance ability and operational flexibility when facing irregularly arranged or multi-specification mixed wires, and can effectively avoid mis-clamping, cross interference, or action conflict. The structural layout of this scheme, combined with the staggered wire pressing block 13, constructs a stable wire splitting path of asymmetrical clamping—segmented extraction—re-alignment extraction, significantly improving the overall operation accuracy and adaptability.

[0055] Preferably, the wire pressing drive device 11, the gripper drive device 22, and the wire clamp placement block drive device 32 are all composed of cylinders or motors. In this design, the drive devices all use cylinders or motors as power units. The specific selection can be flexibly made according to actual accuracy requirements, time control requirements, and wiring space. Cylinders are suitable for process nodes with short strokes and fast action requirements, while motors are suitable for scenarios requiring precise positioning, multi-segment control, or continuous programmable operation. This design mode has good control strategy compatibility and hardware flexibility, and the drive logic can be adjusted according to the production line cycle time to meet the operating requirements under various control systems, achieving rapid adaptation and stable operation of the equipment under different product models or process paths.

[0056] Preferably, the system also includes a machine base 7, on which the wire pressing assembly 1, the wire splitting assembly 2, and the wire clamp assembly 3 are respectively mounted. The entire set of wire pressing assembly 1, wire splitting assembly 2, and wire clamp assembly 3 is integrated and mounted on a unified machine base 7 structure, realizing fully automated and coordinated processes from wire clamping, extraction, alignment to insertion. The machine base 7, as a bearing and positioning reference platform, not only provides structural support for each component, but also ensures spatial coordination and assembly stability among the various execution parts through integrated wiring, spatial isolation, and modular guidance.
