Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness packaging technology, and in particular to a shaping device and packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the packaging process of wire harnesses, paper cards are used to bundle the wire harnesses to make them neater and easier to pack into electronic device boxes.

[0003] In existing technology, the paper card is cross-shaped or T-shaped, and the two ends of the paper card in the horizontal direction are used to support the wire bundle to maintain its shape. One end of the two ends of the longitudinally extending strip structure of the paper card has a locking hole, and the other end has a tongue. The tongue is inserted into the locking hole to bind the wire bundle. The specific operation process is as follows: First, the paper card is manually wrapped around the side of the wire bundle carrier, which has positioning grooves on its side. The four ends of the paper card are placed in the positioning grooves respectively. Then, the wire bundle is manually wound around the wire bundle carrier and the paper card so that the shape of the wire bundle matches the shape of the wire bundle carrier. Finally, the two ends of the longitudinally extending strip structure of the paper card are manually bent, and the tongue is locked into the locking hole, thus binding the wire bundle. However, the end of the longitudinally extending strip structure of the paper card with the tongue is usually longer. After the tongue is locked into the locking hole, the end of the strip structure is straight, occupying a large space. Therefore, during assembly, it is necessary to manually bend the end of the strip structure so that the end bends towards the wire bundle. However, due to the rigidity of paper cards, manual bending is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0048] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0054] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or it can be located in between the component.

[0055] This embodiment provides a shaping device for shaping paper cards, which has high shaping efficiency.

[0056] For ease of understanding, this embodiment describes the specific structure of the wire harness carrier 10, the paper card 20, and the wire harness 30. Optionally, the wire harness carrier 10 in this embodiment can be a structure from the prior art; for details, please refer to the carrier disclosed in publication number CN117735047A. For example, as... Figure 19 As shown, the wire harness carrier 10 has a carrier body with a variable radial dimension. The carrier body includes two parts, with a spring between them. The wire harness carrier 10 also has a lever 101 for driving one part of the carrier body to move relative to the other part. The lever 101 moves under the action of an external force, thereby adjusting the distance between the two parts of the carrier body and realizing the change of the radial dimension of the carrier body. A paper card pressing block 102 is also provided at the top of the carrier body. The paper card pressing block 102 is rotatably connected to the carrier body and has an upright state in which its orthographic projection is completely located on the carrier body, and a pressing state in which it is magnetically connected to the side wall of the carrier body for pressing the paper card 20. The side wall of the carrier body has grooves and other structures for positioning the paper card 20. The paper card 20 needs to be pressed onto the carrier body, and the paper card 20 needs to be deformed under the action of an external force to fit against the outer peripheral surface of the carrier body. Then, the paper card pressing block 102 is controlled to press the paper card 20 onto the carrier body. Next, the wire harness 30 is wound around the paper card 20, and finally the two ends of the two strip structures of the paper card 20 extending in the vertical direction are snapped together to achieve the binding and fixing of the wire harness 30.

[0057] For example, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the shaping device 1 includes a support assembly (not shown), a bending and shaping assembly 1600, and a shaping drive mechanism 1300.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes a base 1400 and a support platform 1100 buoyantly connected to the base 1400. The support platform 1100 has a support surface 1110 for supporting the paper card 20. The buoyant connection between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400 can be understood as the distance between them not being fixed, but rather variable within a certain range.

[0059] The bending and shaping assembly 1600 in this embodiment includes a bending support 1620 connected to the base 1400 and located on one side of the support platform 1100. The bending support 1620 has an arc-shaped bending surface 1621, on which the portion of the paper card 20 to be bent rests. The shaping drive mechanism 1300 drives the support platform 1100 to move relative to the base 1400 and presses the paper card 20 against the support surface 1110. The movement of the support platform 1100 relative to the base 1400 creates a height difference between the support surface 1110 and the bending surface 1621, thereby achieving the bending of the paper card 20.

[0060] The shaping device 1 provided in this embodiment includes a support assembly comprising a base 1400 and a support platform 1100 buoyantly connected to the base 1400. A paper card 20 is supported on the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100. A shaping drive mechanism 1300 can drive the support platform 1100 to move relative to the base 1400. The shaping drive mechanism 1300 also presses the paper card 20 onto the support surface 1110, so that when the support platform 1100 moves, the portion of the paper card 20 located on the support surface 1110 moves synchronously with the support platform 1100. The bending support 1620 of the bending and shaping component 1600 is connected to the base 1400, so that the bending support 1620 will not move when the support platform 1100 moves. This results in a height difference between the bending surface 1621 of the bending support 1620 and the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100. In this way, the part of the paper card 20 supported on the bending surface 1621 is bent relative to the part supported on the support surface 1110, thus achieving the bending and shaping of the paper card 20. This has high shaping efficiency and low manual labor intensity.

[0061] Furthermore, the mechanical structure is used to drive the support platform 1100, which can control the range of movement of the support platform 1100 relative to the base 1400, so that the bending range of the paper card 20 meets the requirements, and there will be no over-bending or under-bending. It can also ensure the consistency of multiple paper cards 20 after bending.

[0062] It should be noted that by setting the bending surface 1621 as an arc, the breakage of the paper card 20 caused by the sharp corner during bending is reduced, thereby improving reliability and reducing the scrap rate.

[0063] For example, the bending support 1620 can be a roller, with the side of the roller forming a bending surface 1621.

[0064] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100 is provided with a mounting groove 1140. The mounting groove 1140 has a notch on the side of the support platform 1100 facing the bending and shaping assembly 1600, and the bending support member 1620 is disposed in the mounting groove 1140. The forming groove 1120 communicates with the mounting groove 1140, so that the paper card 20 begins to bend and shape on one side of the tongue 201, thereby allowing the end of the paper card 20 after shaping to bend better toward the wire harness 30, reducing the space required.

[0065] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sliding guide post 1410 is provided on the side of the base 1400 facing the support platform 1100. The support platform 1100 is slidably mounted on the sliding guide post 1410. A limiting boss (not shown) is fixedly provided at one end of the sliding guide post 1410, and a stop block (not shown) is also fixedly provided on the sliding guide post 1410. The stop block limits the minimum distance between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400, and the limiting boss limits the maximum distance between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400. An elastic support member 1420 is also provided between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400. The elastic support member 1420 always has a tendency to drive the support platform 1100 to move away from the base 1400, so as to support the support platform 1100 when it is not under force. Thus, a floating connection between the base 1400 and the support platform 1100 is achieved.

[0066] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the bending and shaping assembly 1600 and the support platform 1100 move relative to each other in the Z direction to create a height difference. Most of the paper card 20 is supported on the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100, and the end of the strip structure with the tongue 201 rests on the bending and shaping assembly 1600. In one embodiment, when the support platform 1100 moves closer to the base 1400 under the drive of the shaping drive member 1310, the bending and shaping assembly 1600 does not move relative to the base 1400, causing relative movement between the support platform 1100 and the bending and shaping assembly 1600. For example, the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100 is lower than the bending and shaping assembly 1600. At this time, the paper card 20 on the bending and shaping assembly 1600 bends against the paper card 20 on the support surface 1110, thus achieving bending and shaping of the paper card 20.

[0067] In at least one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bending and shaping assembly 1600 also includes a bending connector 1610. The bending connector 1610 is fixedly connected to the base 1400. The bending support 1620 is rotatably connected to the bending connector 1610. By configuring the bending support 1620 to be rotatably connected to the bending connector 1610, the friction between the paper card 20 and the bending support 1620 during bending can be reduced, thus reducing wear on the paper card 20 and facilitating bending of the paper card 20.

[0068] In at least one embodiment, the support surface 1110 is provided with a forming groove 1120, the shaping device 1 further includes a punch 1200, and the shaping drive mechanism 1300 includes a shaping drive component 1310 and a linkage assembly 1320. The tongue 201 of the paper card 20 is located directly above the forming groove 1120, that is, the tongue 201 is centered on the forming groove 1120. The punch 1200 is positioned opposite the forming groove 1120 in the Z-direction, and one end of the punch 1200 is selectively located within the forming groove 1120. The punch 1200 moves in the Z-direction to press the tongue 201, thereby breaking the dotted lines on the paper card 20. The tongue 201 is bent relative to the paper card 20, thus achieving the shaping of the paper card 20. Furthermore, since the portion of the paper card 20 other than the tongue 201 is supported on the support surface 1110, the risk of tearing when the tongue 201 shifts is relatively small, thus improving the reliability of the paper card 20 shaping.

[0069] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support surface 1110 is also provided with suction holes 1130, which are used to adsorb the paper card 20 to reduce the displacement of the paper card 20 during the shaping process. Specifically, the support platform 1100 is provided with a cavity communicating with the suction holes 1130. The vacuum equipment is connected to the cavity to make the cavity vacuum, thereby generating suction force to adsorb the paper card 20.

[0070] In this embodiment, the shaping drive mechanism 1300 is used to drive the punch 1200 to move closer to the support platform 1100. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the shaping drive mechanism 1300 includes a shaping drive component 1310 and a linkage component 1320. The output end of the shaping drive component 1310 is connected to the linkage component 1320 to drive the linkage component 1320 to move closer to or further away from the support platform 1100. The linkage component 1320 abuts against the punch 1200 to drive the punch 1200 to move, causing one end of the punch 1200 to press against the tongue 201 until it is positioned in the forming groove 1120. Optionally, the shaping drive component 1310 may include, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a motor, etc., but this embodiment does not limit this.

[0071] It should be noted that the linkage component 1320 and the support platform 1100 are set relative to each other in the Z direction. That is, the linkage component 1320 can move closer to or further away from the support platform 1100 in the Z direction.

[0072] The shaping device 1 provided in this embodiment has a forming groove 1120 on the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100, and the punch 1200 is arranged opposite to the forming groove 1120 in the Z direction, so that the punch 1200 can be partially placed in the forming groove 1120 under the drive of the shaping drive mechanism 1300 to punch the tongue 201 of the paper card 20, so that the tongue 201 is bent into the forming groove 1120, thereby realizing the shaping of the paper card 20 without the need for manual pressing of the tongue 201, improving the efficiency of paper card 20 shaping. Furthermore, by controlling the moving speed of the shaping drive 1310 and the size of the punch 1200, the risk of tearing the paper card 20 can be reduced, and the support of the support surface 1110 can further reduce the risk of tearing the paper card 20, which has high reliability and automation.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shaping device 1 also includes an abutment 1500. The abutment 1500 is fixedly connected to the base 1400, preventing it from moving relative to the base 1400. This causes the relative position of the support platform 1100 and the abutment 1500 to change when the support platform 1100 moves relative to the base 1400. When the linkage component 1320 abuts against the abutment 1500, it drives the punch 1200 to press the paper card 20. When the linkage component 1320 is not abutting against the abutment 1500, the abutment 1500 does not interfere with the movement of the linkage component 1320.

[0074] Optionally, this embodiment provides a linkage component 1320 that can cooperate with the shaping drive component 1310, the abutment component 1500, and the support platform 1100 to drive the punch 1200. For example, as shown... Figure 4As shown, the linkage component 1320 includes a preload block 1321 and a lever 1322. The preload block 1321 is positioned opposite the support platform 1100 in the Z-direction and connected to the output end of the shaping drive component 1310. The shaping drive component 1310 can drive the preload block 1321 to move closer to or further away from the support platform 1100 in the Z-direction. Furthermore, as... Figure 5 As shown, a sliding hole 1323 is provided through the preload block 1321 along the Z direction, and a punch 1200 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 1323. A lever 1322 is rotatably connected to the preload block 1321, and one end of the lever 1322 abuts against the punch 1200, while the other end selectively abuts against the abutment 1500. The middle part of the lever 1322 is rotatably connected to the preload block 1321 via a rotating shaft.

[0075] In this embodiment, the linkage component 1320 and the shaping drive component 1310 drive the pre-pressing block 1321 to move towards the support platform 1100 in the Z-direction. The pre-pressing block 1321 then drives the lever component 1322 and the punch 1200 to move in the Z-direction. When the pre-pressing block 1321 contacts the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100, it can press down on the portion of the paper card 20 without the tongue 201, thereby pre-pressing the paper card 20. This reduces deformation of the paper card 20 when pressing the tongue 201, ensuring smooth pressing of the tongue 201 and reducing the risk of damage to the paper card 20, further improving the reliability of the shaping device 1. After the pre-pressing block 1321 contacts the support platform 1100, the shaping drive component 1310 continues to drive the pre-pressing block 1321 to move. At this time, the support platform 1100 moves towards the base 1400 under the drive of the shaping drive component 1310. At this time, one end of the lever 1322 abuts against the abutment 1500. Blocked by the abutment 1500, the lever 1322 rotates relative to the pre-pressing block 1321, causing the end of the lever 1322 abutting against the punch 1200 to move towards the support platform 1100, thereby driving the punch 1200 closer to the support platform 1100 and deforming the tongue 201. One end of the punch 1200 is located in the forming groove 1120. After the support platform 1100 is stopped by the stop block, the shaping drive 1310 stops driving. When the punch 1200 exits the forming groove 1120, on the one hand, the shaping drive component 1310 drives the pre-pressing block 1321 to move away from the support platform 1100. In the initial stage of the movement, the support platform 1100 moves synchronously with the pre-pressing block 1321 under the action of the elastic support component 1420 until it abuts against the limiting boss. After that, the pre-pressing block 1321 separates from the support platform 1100, and the lever component 1322 separates from the abutting component 1500, thereby realizing the reset of the linkage component 1320.

[0076] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the end of the punch 1200 facing away from the lever 1322 is the first end 1210. The cross-sectional dimensions of the first end 1210 are set according to the size of the tongue 201. Typically, the cross-sectional dimensions of the first end 1210 are smaller than the cross-sectional dimensions of the end of the punch 1200 used to abut against the lever 1322, thus giving the punch 1200 higher structural strength.

[0077] The punch 1200 has a first state relative to the pre-pressing block 1321 where its first end 1210 is retracted into the sliding hole 1323, and a second state where it is located outside the sliding hole 1323 and in the forming groove 1120. The lever 1322 rotates relative to the pre-pressing block 1321 to drive the punch 1200 from the first state to the second state, enabling the punch 1200 to press the tongue 201. When the punch 1200 is in the first state, the distance between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400 is a first distance; when the punch 1200 is in the second state, the distance between the support platform 1100 and the base 1400 is a second distance; the first distance is greater than the second distance. With this configuration, when the support platform 1100 abuts against the lever 1322 and the abutment 1500 and drives the punch 1200 to descend, it moves closer to the base 1400. This allows the support platform 1100, the abutment 1500, and the lever 1322 to cooperate in both pre-pressing the paper card 20 and stamping after pre-pressing, thereby improving the success rate of stamping the tongue 201 and reducing the risk of tearing.

[0078] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the linkage component 1320 also includes an elastic reset member 1324. The elastic reset member 1324 is disposed between the preload block 1321 and the punch 1200 to drive the punch 1200 from a second state to a first state, thereby achieving the reset of the punch 1200 relative to the preload block 1321. By providing the elastic reset member 1324, automatic reset of the punch 1200 is achieved, with a high degree of automation. Furthermore, the position of the punch 1200 relative to the preload block 1321 is fixed when no external force is applied, facilitating the driving of the punch 1200 and ensuring that the punch 1200 always abuts against the lever member 1322. The elastic reset member 1324 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0079] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, both the wall of the sliding hole 1323 and the side wall of the punch 1200 are provided with semi-grooves 1220. The two semi-grooves 1220 cooperate with each other to form a receiving groove for accommodating the elastic reset member 1324. The elastic reset member 1324 extends along the Z direction, and one groove wall in the Z direction is part of the punch 1200, while the other groove wall in the Z direction is part of the pre-pressing block 1321, thus realizing that the elastic reset member 1324 is disposed between the pre-pressing block 1321 and the punch 1200.

[0080] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the preload block 1321 has a through hole 1327, which communicates with the sliding hole 1323 but extends perpendicularly to the sliding hole 1323. The end of the punch 1200 opposite to the first end 1210 is located in the through hole 1327 and abuts against the lever 1322 in the through hole 1327. The through hole 1327 limits the punch 1200 and the lever 1322 in the Z direction so that the punch 1200 and the lever 1322 will not detach from the preload block 1321.

[0081] Optionally, to prevent the shaping device 1 from being too large in the Z-direction, in this embodiment, the distance between the end of the lever 1322 away from the punch 1200 and the end face of the pre-pressing block 1321 facing the support platform 1100 in the Z-direction is the third distance, and the distance between the surface of the abutting member 1500 abutting the lever 1322 and the support surface 1110 in the Z-direction is the fourth distance. The third distance is equal to the fourth distance. With this configuration, as the pre-pressing block 1321 descends in the Z-direction, while the pre-pressing block 1321 contacts the support surface 1110, the lever 1322 abuts against the abutting member 1500, fully utilizing the space in the Z-direction. This allows the movement of the support platform 1100 relative to the base 1400 to be synchronized with the rotation of the lever 1322, resulting in a more ingenious overall structure for the shaping device 1, offering richer functionality while maintaining a smaller size.

[0082] In at least one embodiment, please continue to see Figure 4 One end of the lever 1322 is rotatably connected to a first rotating member 1325. Specifically, the first rotating member 1325 is provided at the end of the lever 1322 facing away from the punch 1200. The first rotating member 1325 selectively contacts the abutment 1500. By providing the first rotating member 1325, after the lever 1322 contacts the abutment 1500, when the lever 1322 rotates relative to the abutment 1500, the first rotating member 1325 can rotate relative to the lever 1322. At this time, the first rotating member 1325 and the abutment 1500 can remain relatively stationary, preventing interference between the abutment 1500 and the lever 1322, thereby reducing the risk of the lever 1322 breaking due to the abutment 1500 blocking its rotation.

[0083] In one possible implementation, a second rotating member 1326 is rotatably connected to one end of the lever member 1322, and the second rotating member 1326 contacts the punch 1200. By providing the second rotating member 1326, when the lever member 1322 rotates relative to the punch 1200 and pushes the punch 1200 to move, the lever member 1322 and the second rotating member 1326 rotate relative to each other, while the second rotating member 1326 and the punch 1200 can remain relatively stationary, to prevent jamming caused by the difference between the movement of the lever and the movement of the punch 1200, thereby improving reliability.

[0084] Optionally, the first rotating member 1325 and the second rotating member 1326 can be rollers, which are rotatably connected to the lever member 1322 via a shaft.

[0085] In this embodiment, the movement of the support platform 1100 relative to the base 1400 not only enables the lever 1322 to drive the punch 1200 and shape the tongue 201, but also cooperates with the bending and shaping component 1600 to shape the end of the strip structure of the tongue 201 of the paper card 20. Thus, multiple functions are realized at the same time, further improving the forming efficiency. Moreover, the structural design is ingenious and the functions are rich.

[0086] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shaping device 1 provided in this embodiment also includes a flipping mechanism 1700. The flipping mechanism 1700 is disposed opposite to the support platform 1100 in the Z direction and is located on one side of the punch 1200. The flipping mechanism 1700 selectively connects to the paper card 20, and when the flipping mechanism 1700 connects to the paper card 20, it can drive the paper card 20 to flip by a preset angle so that the flipped paper card 20 cooperates with the first adsorption component 2400 of the paper card loading device 2, so as to facilitate the adsorption of the paper card 20 by the first adsorption component 2400.

[0087] For example, the flipping mechanism 1700 drives the paper card 20 to flip 90 degrees so that the paper card 20 is flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby facilitating the adsorption of the first adsorption component 2400.

[0088] In at least one implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the flipping mechanism 1700 includes a flipping drive 1710, a flipping rack 1720, a flipping gear 1730, a flipping bracket 1740, and a second adsorption assembly 1750. The flipping rack 1720 extends along the Z-direction and is connected to the output end of the flipping drive 1710, which drives the rack 1720 to move in the Z-direction. The flipping gear 1730 meshes with the rack 1720, causing the rack 1720 to rotate when it moves in the Z-direction. The flipping bracket 1740 is connected to the gear 1730; specifically, the bracket 1740 is fixedly connected to the gear 1730, so that the bracket 1740 rotates synchronously with the gear 1730 when the gear 1730 rotates. The second adsorption assembly 1750 is disposed on the bracket 1740, so that the bracket 1750 rotates synchronously with the bracket 1740 when it rotates. The second adsorption component 1750 is used to adsorb the paper card 20 so that the paper card 20 rotates synchronously with the second adsorption component 1750, thereby realizing the flipping of the paper card 20.

[0089] The flipping mechanism 1700 provided in this embodiment has a relatively simple structure, which can realize the flipping of the paper card 20. The meshing transmission of gears and racks can convert the Z-direction extension driving force into rotational driving force, which is highly flexible and the transmission is more reliable.

[0090] It should be noted that the flipping drive component 1710 includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, linear motors, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it. Figure 1 As shown, the second adsorption component 1750 includes at least one suction nozzle for adsorbing the paper card 20.

[0091] In one embodiment, the flipping drive 1710 can be connected to the output end of the shaping drive 1310. For example, the output end of the shaping drive 1310 is connected to a connecting plate, the main body of the flipping drive 1710 can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the output end of the flipping drive 1710 can move relative to the connecting plate.

[0092] In other embodiments, the flipping drive 1710 may not be connected to the output terminal of the shaping drive 1310, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, the flip gear 1730 in this embodiment does not need to be a fully toothed structure; rather, the central angle of the portion where the gear is set can be greater than 90 degrees. The portion of the flip gear 1730 without teeth can be provided with an extension block to facilitate a fixed connection with the flip bracket 1740. The flip bracket 1740 can be strip-shaped to accommodate a larger number of suction nozzles.

[0094] Optionally, such as Figure 7As shown, the flipping mechanism 1700 also includes a flipping support assembly 1760, which includes a flipping support block 1761 and a bearing 1762 mounted on the flipping support block 1761. A flipping gear 1730 is coaxially connected to the bearing 1762, allowing the flipping support block 1761 to limit the flipping gear 1730. The flipping support block 1761 can also limit the flipping rack 1720 in a direction perpendicular to the Z-axis. Thus, the flipping gear 1730 can only rotate without translation, and the flipping rack 1720 only moves in the Z-axis.

[0095] In at least one embodiment, please continue to see Figure 7 The flipping bracket 1740 is also equipped with a flipping pressure block 1770, which is used to pre-press the paper card 20 so that the second adsorption component 1750 can adsorb the paper card 20.

[0096] Optionally, for easier storage of the paper card 20, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the shaping device 1 also includes a card holder 1800 and a pick-and-place mechanism 1900. The card holder 1800 is located on one side of the support platform 1100 and is used to store cardboard 20; multiple cardboard 20 can be stacked in the card holder 1800. The pick-and-place mechanism 1900 transfers the cardboard 20 from the card holder 1800 to the support platform 1100 for shaping on the support platform 1100.

[0097] In this embodiment, by setting a paper card magazine 1800, multiple paper cards 20 can be stored. By setting a pick-and-place mechanism 1900, the paper cards 20 can be automatically transferred from the paper card magazine 1800 to the support platform 1100, which further improves the efficiency of shaping.

[0098] In at least one implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 1900 includes a translation drive 1910, a pick-and-place drive 1920, and a pick-and-place nozzle 1930. The pick-and-place drive 1920 and the shaping drive 1310 are both connected to the output end of the translation drive 1910. The translation drive 1910 drives the pick-and-place drive 1920 and the shaping drive 1310 to move in a specific direction. For example, the specific direction is the arrangement direction of the support platform 1100 and the card magazine 1800. The translation of the pick-and-place drive 1920 and the shaping drive 1310 can be synchronous or asynchronous; this embodiment does not limit this. It should be noted that when the shaping drive 1310 moves, the components connected to the output end of the shaping drive 1310 (such as the linkage assembly 1320, the punch 1200, the flipping mechanism 1700, etc.) all move along with the shaping drive 1310. The translation drive 1910 drives the pick-and-place drive 1920 to move between above the card magazine 1800 and above the support platform 1100. The pick-and-place nozzle 1930 is used to pick up the card 20 at the card magazine 1800 and release the card 20 at the support platform 1100; that is, the pick-and-place nozzle 1930 selectively picks up the card 20. The pick-and-place drive 1920 drives the pick-and-place nozzle 1930 to move in the Z-direction to pick up the card 20 at the card magazine 1800 and place the card 20 on the support platform 1100.

[0099] This embodiment also provides packaging equipment, which is applied to the packaging process of wire harness 30 and has high reliability and efficiency.

[0100] For example, such as Figures 8 to 18 As shown, the packaging equipment includes the shaping device 1 described above.

[0101] In the prior art, when loading the paper card 20 into the wire harness carrier 10, the paper card 20 is first manually wrapped around the side of the wire harness carrier 10. The side of the wire harness carrier 10 has positioning grooves, and the four ends of the paper card 20 are respectively placed in the positioning grooves. Then, the wire harness 30 is manually wound around the wire harness carrier 10 and the paper card 20 so that the shape of the wire harness 30 is consistent with the shape of the wire harness carrier 10. Finally, the two ends of the paper card 20 in the longitudinal direction are manually bent, and the tongue 201 is inserted into the card hole 202, thus achieving the binding of the wire harness 30. It can be seen that the process of binding the wire harness 30 involves many manual steps, resulting in high manual labor intensity and low binding efficiency.

[0102] In at least one embodiment, the packaging equipment further includes a paper card loading device 2. The paper card loading device 2 provided in this embodiment is mainly used to deform the paper card 20 and fit it against the outer peripheral surface of the carrier body. The paper card loading device 2 can improve the efficiency of placing the paper card 20 on the wire harness carrier 10.

[0103] For example, such as Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the paper card loading device 2 includes a paper card loading drive 2100, a linkage mechanism 2200, a pushing mechanism 2300, and a first suction assembly 2400. The paper card loading drive 2100 includes, but is not limited to, linear drive components such as a motor and a cylinder. The paper card loading drive 2100 is driven and connected to the linkage mechanism 2200 to apply power to the pushing mechanism 2300 via the linkage mechanism 2200.

[0104] like Figure 9 As shown, the pushing mechanism 2300 in this embodiment includes multiple pushing components 2310. All pushing components 2310 are connected to the linkage mechanism 2200, and the multiple pushing components 2310 move synchronously under the action of the linkage mechanism 2200. Each pushing component 2310 is provided with a contoured pushing surface 2311 that matches the shape of the wire harness carrier 10, and the contoured pushing surface 2311 is used to contact the paper card 20. It should be noted that the contoured pushing surface 2311 matches the shape of the side wall of the carrier body. For example, if the side wall of the carrier body is arc-shaped, the contoured pushing surface 2311 is also arc-shaped, so that the contoured pushing surface 2311 can push the paper card 20 to better fit against the side wall of the carrier body.

[0105] By setting multiple pushing components 2310, the paper card 20 can be pushed from all directions, avoiding uneven force on the paper card 20. By setting the linkage mechanism 2200, the multiple pushing components 2310 do not need multiple drive units; only a single paper card loading drive unit 2100 is required. This also enables synchronous movement of the multiple pushing components 2310, reducing interference between the pushing components 2310 and between the pushing components 2310 and the wire harness carrier 10, resulting in higher reliability. Furthermore, by setting the linkage mechanism 2200, the paper card loading device 2 can be made smaller, meeting miniaturization requirements.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first adsorption component 2400 selectively adsorbs the paper card 20 to achieve both fixing and releasing of the paper card 20 by the paper card loading device 2. Specifically, when the first adsorption component 2400 adsorbs the paper card 20, it fixes the paper card 20; when the pushing component 2310 contacts the paper card 20 and presses the paper card 20 against the carrier body, the first adsorption component 2400 can stop adsorbing the paper card 20, allowing the paper card 20 to deform smoothly.

[0107] The adsorption structure in this embodiment may include a vacuum chamber and multiple suction nozzles connected to the vacuum chamber. The multiple suction nozzles are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction and are used to adsorb the transversely extending strip structure of the paper card 20. It should be noted that when the pushing component 2310 contacts the paper card 20, some suction nozzles may release the paper card 20, while some suction nozzles may still adsorb the paper card 20 until the paper card pressing block 102 presses down on the paper card 20 and then releases the paper card 20.

[0108] In use, the paper card loading device 2 provided in this embodiment adsorbs the paper card 20 through the first adsorption component 2400. Then, the paper card loading drive component 2100 is controlled to move, thereby driving multiple pushing components 2310 to move closer to the wire harness carrier 10 through the linkage mechanism 2200. This allows the pushing components 2310 to contact the paper card 20 adsorbed by the first adsorption component 2400 and push the paper card 20 towards the wire harness carrier 10. During the movement, the paper card 20 deforms under the action of the contour pushing surface 2311 and adheres to the side wall of the carrier body. Then, the paper card pressing block 102 on the carrier body presses and fixes the paper card 20 to prevent it from returning to its original shape.

[0109] The paper card loading device 2 provided in this embodiment uses a paper card loading drive 2100 to drive multiple pushing components 2310 of a pushing mechanism 2300 to move synchronously via a linkage mechanism 2200. This allows the multiple pushing components 2310 to push the paper card 20 closer to the wire harness carrier 10. The shape of the contoured pushing surface 2311 matches the shape of the wire harness carrier 10, allowing the paper card 20 to deform to match the shape of the wire harness carrier 10 under the pushing of the pushing components 2310. This causes the paper card 20 to adhere to the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10. The first adsorption component 2400 adsorbs the paper card 20, thus fixing it in place. This eliminates the need for manual intervention during the deformation process of the paper card 20 on the wire harness carrier 10, reducing the number of manual steps and improving the efficiency of wrapping the paper card 20 on the wire harness carrier 10.

[0110] Furthermore, by using automated mechanical equipment to wrap the paper card 20 on the wire harness carrier 10, compared to the step of manually aligning the paper card 20 with the wire harness carrier 10 and then controlling the deformation of the paper card 20, the consistency and accuracy of wrapping the paper card 20 can be guaranteed, thus improving the quality of the wire harness 30 packaging.

[0111] The linkage mechanism 2200 can have various specific structures; exemplarily, this embodiment provides a linkage mechanism 2200. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the linkage mechanism 2200 includes at least two linkage groups 2210 that are hinged to each other. At least two push components 2310 are provided, each corresponding to one of the linkage groups 2210. One end of each linkage group 2210 is hinged to the output end of the card loading drive 2100, and the other end is hinged to the corresponding push component 2310. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the at least two linkage groups 2210 being hinged to each other means that any two adjacent linkage groups 2210 in the arrangement direction are hinged together, so that the actions of the two linkage groups 2210 are synchronized, thereby enabling the synchronized action of multiple push components 2310.

[0112] By setting at least two linkage groups 2210, a one-to-one connection can be achieved for multiple push components 2310, so that the movement of each push component 2310 is relatively flexible and unaffected by the movement of other push components 2310, based on the synchronous action of multiple push components 2310, so as to better contact with the wire harness carrier 10.

[0113] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, at least two linkage groups 2210 and at least two pusher components 2310 are provided. When pushing the paper card 20, the two pusher components 2310 are arranged in a semi-encircling shape around the outside of the wire harness carrier 10. Each linkage group 2210 includes a first link 2211 and a second link 2212 that are hinged to each other. In this embodiment, one end of the first link 2211 is hinged to one end of the second link 2212. The end of the first link 2211 facing away from the second link 2212 is hinged to the output end of the paper card loading drive 2100, and the end of the second link 2212 facing away from the first link 2211 is hinged to the corresponding pusher component 2310. Thus, when the output end of the card loading driver 2100 is activated, it can drive the first connecting rod 2211 to rotate. The rotation of the first connecting rod 2211 can drive the second connecting rod 2212 to rotate, causing the second connecting rod 2212 to drive the pushing assembly 2310 to move closer to or away from the carrier body. In this embodiment, the connecting rod group 2210 is a two-link structure, which can occupy a small volume on the one hand, and on the other hand, can realize the driving of two pushing assemblies 2310 by one card loading driver 2100.

[0114] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the two second links 2212 are arranged crosswise and hinged at the intersection position so that the two second links 2212 are related to each other, that is, the two links 2210 are related to each other, thereby limiting the movement direction of the second links 2212.

[0115] In other embodiments, the two first connecting rods 2211 are arranged crosswise and hinged at the crosswise position, which can also realize the mutual association of the two connecting rod groups 2210. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0116] In some alternative embodiments, the length of the second link 2212 is greater than the length of the first link 2211 to meet the requirement of the moving length of the push assembly 2310.

[0117] Optionally, please continue to see Figure 10The side wall of the push assembly 2310 is provided with a rotating connecting block 2316, and a hinge shaft 2317 is installed on the rotating connecting block 2316. The end of the second connecting rod 2212 facing away from the first connecting rod 2211 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 2317 to achieve hinge connection with the rotating connecting block 2316, and thus achieve hinge connection with the push assembly 2310.

[0118] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the pushing assembly 2310 includes a gripper limiting block 2312 and a gripper member 2313 movably connected to the gripper limiting block 2312. The gripper limiting block 2312 is hinged to the linkage mechanism 2200; for example, the gripper limiting block 2312 is hinged to one end of the second linkage member 2212 facing away from the first linkage member 2211. A contoured pushing surface 2311 is provided on the gripper member 2313. By setting the gripper limiting block 2312, the gripper 2313 does not need to be directly connected to the linkage mechanism 2200. The gripper 2313 is movably connected to the gripper limiting block 2312, so that the gripper 2313 can move relative to the gripper limiting block 2312. This allows the paper card 20 to be pressed better against the side wall of the carrier body, making the paper card 20 fit better against the side wall of the carrier body. This makes the structure of the pushing component 2310 more flexible and also ensures the effect of loading the paper card 20.

[0119] Optionally, the gripper 2313 can be rotatably connected to the gripper limiting block 2312, as in some optional embodiments, such as Figure 10 or Figure 11 As shown, the pushing assembly 2310 also includes an elastic element 2314 and a rotating shaft 2315. The gripper limiting block 2312 has a limiting groove 23121, and a portion of the gripper 2313 is located within the limiting groove 23121. That is, the gripper 2313 has a portion located within the limiting groove 23121 and a portion located outside the limiting groove 23121. The portion located within the limiting groove 23121 is used to connect with the gripper limiting block 2312, and the portion located outside the limiting groove 23121 is used to push the paper card 20. The gripper 2313 is rotatably connected to the gripper limiting block 2312 via the rotating shaft 2315. For example, the rotating shaft 2315 passes through the gripper limiting block 2312 and through the limiting groove 23121. The portion of the gripper 2313 located within the limiting groove 23121 has a through hole (not shown in the figure). The rotating shaft 2315 rotatably passes through the through hole, allowing the gripper 2313 to rotate relative to the gripper limiting block 2312. It should be noted that, due to the limitation of the limiting groove 23121, the rotation range of the gripper 2313 relative to the gripper limiting block 2312 is fixed, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.

[0120] like Figure 10As shown, the contouring push surface 2311 is located outside the limiting groove 23121 so that the contouring push surface 2311 can push the paper card 20 to adhere to the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10, and avoid the situation where the contouring push surface 2311 cannot contact the paper card 20 due to the obstruction of the gripper limiting block 2312.

[0121] In this embodiment, the elastic element 2314 is used to prevent damage caused by hard contact between the gripper 2313 and the wire harness carrier 10. Exemplarily, one end of the elastic element 2314 abuts against the wall of the limiting groove 23121, and the other end abuts against the gripper 2313. When the distance between the gripper 2313 and the wire harness carrier 10 is small, the gripper 2313, under the action of the wire harness carrier 10, squeezes the elastic element 2314, causing it to deform. At this time, the gripper 2313 presses the paper card 20 to better conform to the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10, and has applied a holding force equal to the deformation force of the elastic element 2314 to the paper card 20, thus facilitating the maintenance of the shape of the paper card 20. Exemplarily, the elastic element 2314 includes, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0122] In at least one embodiment, a contoured push surface 2311 is provided on one side of the gripper 2313 in the width direction. The width direction of the gripper 2313 is the same as the arrangement direction of the two push components 2310, that is, the surfaces of the two push components 2310 facing each other are provided with contoured push surfaces 2311. The contoured push surface 2311 can be all or part of the side of the gripper 2313 in the width direction, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0123] In one possible implementation, an elastic element 2314 is provided between one end of the gripper 2313 along its length and the wall of the limiting groove 23121. When the gripper 2313 rotates relative to the gripper limiting block 2312, it can compress the elastic element 2314 located between one end of the gripper 2313 along its length and the wall of the limiting groove 23121, so that the contouring push surface 2311 can apply a pushing force along the length of the gripper 2313 to the paper card 20, so that the paper card 20 fits better with the wire harness carrier 10. The length of the gripper 2313 is generally greater than its width, and the thickness direction of the gripper 2313 is the same as the axial direction of the wire harness carrier 10.

[0124] In one embodiment, an elastic element 2314 is provided between the other side of the gripper 2313 in the width direction and the groove wall of the limiting groove 23121. When the gripper 2313 rotates relative to the gripper limiting block 2312, it can compress the elastic element 2314 located between one end of the gripper 2313 in the width direction and the groove wall of the limiting groove 23121, so that the contouring push surface 2311 can apply a pushing force of the gripper 2313 in the width direction to the paper card 20, so that the paper card 20 fits better with the wire harness carrier 10.

[0125] It should be noted that the elastic element 2314 located between one end of the gripper 2313 in the width direction and the groove wall of the limiting groove 23121 is located on the side of the rotating shaft 2315 facing the wire harness carrier 10. That is, the elastic element 2314 is closer to the end of the gripper 2313 away from the gripper limiting block 2312. This arrangement, on the one hand, can better push the end of the gripper 2313 away from the gripper limiting block 2312 closer to the wire harness carrier 10 to apply a thrust that deforms the paper card 20; on the other hand, it can also avoid hard contact between the gripper 2313 and the gripper limiting block 2312, reducing the risk of damage to the gripper 2313.

[0126] Optionally, to better push the paper card 20 to the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10 using the contoured pushing surface 2311, the movement directions of the two pushing components 2310 intersect in this embodiment. With this configuration, as the two pushing components 2310 move towards the wire harness carrier 10, the distance between the two gripping claws 2313 gradually decreases, causing the ends of the gripping claws 2313 facing away from the gripping claw limiting block 2312 to approach each other and clamp onto both sides of the wire harness carrier 10 in a radial direction, thereby pushing the paper card 20 against the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10. For example, as... Figure 12 As shown, the two push components 2310 move in a figure-eight pattern.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the extension directions of the two pushing components 2310 intersect; for example, the extension direction of the pushing components 2310 is the same as the direction of movement.

[0128] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the card loading device 2 also includes a card loading support assembly 2500. A pushing assembly 2310 is slidably connected to the card loading support assembly 2500, a first suction assembly 2400 is disposed on the card loading support assembly 2500, and a card loading drive assembly 2100 is disposed on the card loading support assembly 2500. This allows the card loading support assembly 2500 to support the pushing assembly 2310, the card loading drive assembly 2100, and the first suction assembly 2400, thereby improving the overall integrity of the card loading device 2.

[0129] Optionally, the paper card support assembly 2500 is provided with a first fixing block 2520. The first fixing block 2520 and the gripper limiting block 2312 of the push assembly 2310 are slidably connected by a slide rail slider assembly so that the push assembly 2310 can move stably in its direction of movement.

[0130] In one possible implementation, the card holder support assembly 2500 is provided with an adsorption mounting plate 2510, and the first adsorption assembly 2400 is mounted on the adsorption mounting plate 2510. The adsorption mounting plate 2510 is provided with a clearance opening 2511, one end of the first fixing block 2520 is disposed through the clearance opening 2511, and the pushing assembly 2310 is disposed through the clearance opening 2511. With this configuration, the adsorption mounting plate 2510 can be closer to the wire harness carrier 10, so that the card 20 adsorbed by the first adsorption assembly 2400 can be closer to the wire harness carrier 10, and there is no risk that the card 20 will fall off after the adsorption force disappears. This allows the first adsorption assembly 2400 and the pushing assembly 2310 to connect seamlessly, and the adsorption mounting plate 2510 does not affect the movement of the pushing assembly 2310.

[0131] To reduce the space required for the paper card loading device 2, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the card loading device 2 also includes a transition structure 2600. The card loading drive 2100 and the linkage mechanism 2200 are located on the same side of the transition structure 2600. The transition structure 2600 is connected to the output end of the card loading drive 2100, and the linkage mechanism 2200 is hinged to the transition structure 2600. For example, the end of the first linkage 2211 facing away from the second linkage 2212 is hinged to the transition structure 2600. By setting the transition structure 2600, the card loading drive 2100 and the linkage mechanism 2200 do not need to be arranged sequentially in the driving direction of the card loading drive 2100. Instead, they can be arranged at intervals in the driving direction perpendicular to the card loading drive 2100. That is, the card loading drive 2100 and the linkage mechanism 2200 can be arranged in layers. This reduces the size of the card loading device 2 in the driving direction of the card loading drive 2100, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the card loading device 2.

[0132] Optionally, the transition structure 2600 may be composed of multiple blocks, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0133] like Figure 13 As shown, the card loading device 2 and the shaping device 1 are installed on the same plane, but are spaced apart. Therefore, the card loading device 2 needs to be driven to move in the X, Y and Z directions by the three-way drive module 3 so that the first adsorption component 2400 can dock with the second adsorption component 1750 to realize the transfer of the card 20.

[0134] To improve production efficiency, wire harness 30 is typically assembled on an assembly line. In at least one embodiment, the carrier and wire harness 30 are conveyed via multiple conveyor belts to improve assembly efficiency. For example, as... Figure 13 and Figure 15As shown, the packaging equipment includes a first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 6. The first conveyor belt 5 is used to transport the wire harness 30 bundled with paper cards 20, and the second conveyor belt 6 is used to transport the wire harness carrier 10 with the paper cards 20 attached, so as to transport the wire harness carrier 10 to the manual winding station for manual winding, and to transport the wound structure to the paper card 20 clamping station for manual clamping.

[0135] Optionally, the packaging equipment also includes a feeding mechanism 4 located on one side of the first conveyor belt 5. The second conveyor belt 6 is also used to transport the wire harness 30 with the cardboard 20 attached to it to the feeding mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 4 is used to transfer the wire harness 30 on the wire harness carrier 10 to the first conveyor belt 5 to complete the feeding. The empty wire harness carrier 10 continues to be transported by the second conveyor belt 6 to the vicinity of the cardboard loading device 2 to continue attaching the cardboard 20.

[0136] In some optional embodiments, the second conveyor belt 6 includes two conveying structures, namely a first conveyor section 61 and a second conveyor section 62. The first conveyor section 61 and the second conveyor section 62 are arranged in parallel. A wire harness carrier 10 with paper cards 20 attached but without wire harness 30 wound is located on the first conveyor section 61. A carrier transporter (e.g., a robot arm) is provided at the end of the first conveyor section 61 to transport the wire harness carrier 10 from the first conveyor section 61 to the second conveyor section 62. The wire harness carrier 10 is conveyed on the second conveyor section 62. An operator removes the carrier from the second conveyor section 62, winds the wire harness 30 and attaches the paper cards 20, and then places it on the second conveyor section 62. The unloading mechanism 4 removes the wire harness 30 from the wire harness carrier 10 on the second conveyor section 62 and transfers it to the first conveyor belt 5. The controlled wire harness carrier 10 moves to the paper card loading device 2, which attaches the shaped paper card 20 to the wire harness carrier 10 and fixes it by the paper card pressing block 102 on the wire harness carrier 10.

[0137] In one embodiment, the packaging equipment further includes a transfer mechanism 7 (e.g., a combination of a robotic arm and multiple cylinders), which is located on one side of the card loading device 2 and is used to transfer the wire harness carrier 10 at the card loading device 2 to the first conveying section 61 of the second conveyor belt 6.

[0138] Optionally, the paper card loading device 2 can move to the end of the second conveyor section 62 under the drive of the three-way drive module 3, and load the paper card 20 onto the empty wire harness carrier 10 that has moved to the end of the second conveyor section 62. At this time, there is no need to remove the wire harness carrier 10 from the second conveyor section 62. After loading the paper card 20, the wire harness carrier 10 can be directly transferred from the second conveyor section 62 to the first conveyor section 61 by the transfer mechanism 7.

[0139] It is understandable that the transfer mechanism 7 can first transfer the wire harness carrier 10 on the second conveying section 62 to the paper card loading device 2 for loading the paper card 20, and then transfer the wire harness carrier 10 after loading the paper card 20 to the first conveying section 61. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0140] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the unloading mechanism 4 includes a two-way drive module 4100, an opening carrier assembly 4200, and a gripping assembly 4300. The two-way drive module 4100 operates to drive the gripping assembly 4300 to move to the first conveyor belt 5; the opening carrier assembly 4200 operates to adjust the radial dimension of the wire harness carrier 10; and the gripping assembly 4300 operates to grip or release the wire harness 30 carrying the paper card 20.

[0141] The feeding mechanism 4 in this embodiment can not only transfer the wire harness 30, but also automatically open the wire harness carrier 10, with a high degree of automation.

[0142] like Figure 16 As shown, the two-way drive module 4100 in this embodiment may include a Z-axis drive member 4110 and a lateral drive member 4120. The Z-axis drive member 4110 is connected to the output end of the lateral drive member 4120, so as to move between the second conveying section 62 and the first conveyor belt 5 under the drive of the lateral drive member 4120. The gripping assembly 4300 is connected to the Z-axis drive member 4110, and can move closer to or away from the wire harness carrier 10 and closer to or away from the first conveyor belt 5 under the drive of the Z-axis drive member 4110, thereby gripping the wire harness 30 and releasing the wire harness 30 at the first conveyor belt 5.

[0143] In this embodiment, the carrier assembly 4200 is disposed on one side of the wire harness carrier 10. Furthermore, as... Figure 17 As shown, the carrier assembly 4200 includes a carrier drive 4210 and a toggle 4220. The carrier drive 4210 drives the toggle 4220 to rotate. The rotation of the toggle 4220 can interfere with the lever 101 of the wire harness carrier 10 to drive the lever 101 to rotate, thereby adjusting the diameter of the carrier body.

[0144] like Figure 17As shown, the gripping component 4300 in this embodiment includes at least two opposing grippers 4310. The two grippers 4310 can be inserted into slots in the wire harness carrier 10 located below the wire harness 30 to lift the wire harness 30 and detach it from the wire harness carrier 10. The gripping component 4300 also includes a gripping stop 4320, which blocks the wire harness 30 in a direction perpendicular to the Z-axis and perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two grippers 4310, preventing the wire harness 30 from shaking and detaching from the grippers 4310. It is understood that the gripping component 4300 also includes a gripper drive (including but not limited to cylinders, linear motors, etc.). Both grippers 4310 are connected to the output end of the gripper drive to move closer to or away from the wire harness 30 under the drive of the gripper drive, thereby achieving gripping and releasing of the wire harness 30.

[0145] In at least one embodiment, after the wire harness 30 is unloaded, the carrier assembly 4200 can withdraw the external force applied to the wire harness carrier 10, allowing the carrier body of the wire harness carrier 10 to return to its original position, that is, the diameter of the carrier body reaches its maximum, to facilitate the loading of the paper card 20. Alternatively, the carrier assembly 4200 can be controlled to reverse the lever 101 of the wire harness carrier 10 to return the wire harness carrier 10 to its original position. Furthermore, the paper card loading device 2 may also be equipped with a carrier assembly 4200, which is used to move the lever 101 of the wire harness carrier 10 when the wire harness carrier 10 is not returned to its original position, thereby ensuring the loading of the paper card 20.

[0146] Optionally, the packaging equipment in this embodiment also includes multiple sensors, which can be position sensors, displacement sensors, positioning sensors, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. By setting sensors, the position of the wire harness carrier 10 can be detected, and then the operation of each drive structure can be controlled according to the position of the wire harness carrier 10 to achieve automated packaging.

[0147] The specific usage process of the packaging equipment provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0148] Unloading Process: The wire harness carrier 10 is conveyed to the unloading station by the second conveyor section 62 of the second conveyor belt 6. This unloading station is a position on the second conveyor section 62. Then, the lateral drive member 4120 drives the Z-axis drive member 4110 to move above the second conveyor section 62, so that the gripping assembly 4300 is directly above the wire harness carrier 10. Next, the Z-axis drive member 4110 drives the gripping assembly 4300 to move towards the wire harness carrier 10. At this time, the two grippers 4310 reach their maximum distance under the drive of the gripper drive member, so that the wire harness carrier 10 is positioned between the two grippers 4310. After the gripping assembly reaches its Z-axis position, under the drive of the gripper drive member, the two grippers 4310 insert into the slots of the wire harness carrier 10, and the wire harness 30 is supported on the two grippers 4310. Simultaneously, the gripping stop 4320 blocks and positions the wire harness 30. Next, the carrier drive 4210 drives the actuating member 4220 to rotate, so that the actuating member 4220 contacts the lever 101 of the wire harness carrier 10, and drives the lever 101 to rotate in a rotational direction. The rotation of the lever 101 can drive the radial dimension of the carrier body to decrease. At this time, the wire harness carrier 10 no longer radially supports the wire harness 30. Next, the Z-axis drive 4110 drives the gripping assembly 4300 to rise until the wire harness 30 is detached from the wire harness carrier 10. Then, the lateral drive 4120 drives the Z-axis drive 4110 and the gripping assembly 4300 as a whole to move towards the first conveyor belt 5, and places the wire harness 30 above the first conveyor belt 5. Next, the Z-axis drive 4110 drives the gripping assembly 4300 to descend, and the gripper drive drives the two grippers 4310 to move away from each other, no longer supporting the wire harness 30, and placing the wire harness 30 on the first conveyor belt 5.

[0149] Shaping process: The pick-and-place drive 1920 drives the pick-and-place nozzle 1930 to pick up a paper card 20 in the paper card holder 1800. Then, the translation drive 1910 drives the pick-and-place drive 1920 and the shaping drive 1310 to translate as a whole, so that the pick-and-place nozzle 1930 moves above the support platform 1100. Then, the pick-and-place drive 1920 drives the pick-and-place nozzle 1930 and the paper card 20 to move in the Z direction to place the paper card 20 on the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100. At this time, the tongue 201 of the paper card 20 is positioned opposite to the forming groove 1120. Afterwards, the translation drive 1910 drives the pick-and-place drive 1920 and the shaping drive 1310 to reset. At this time, the shaping drive 1310 is located above the support platform 1100. Next, the shaping drive component 1310 drives the linkage component 1320 to move closer to the support platform 1100. As the shaping drive component 1310 drives the pre-pressing block 1321 to move closer to the support platform 1100 in the Z-direction, the pre-pressing block 1321 drives the lever component 1322 and the punch 1200 to move in the Z-direction. When the pre-pressing block 1321 contacts the support surface 1110 of the support platform 1100, it can press the portion of the paper card 20 without the tongue 201, thus pre-pressing the paper card 20. After the pre-pressing block 1321 contacts the support platform 1100, the shaping drive component 1310 continues to drive the pre-pressing block 1321 downwards. At this time, the support platform 1100 moves closer to the base 1400 under the drive of the shaping drive component 1310. Furthermore, one end of the lever 1322 abuts against the abutment 1500. Blocked by the abutment 1500, the lever 1322 rotates relative to the pre-pressing block 1321, causing the end of the lever 1322 abutting against the punch 1200 to move towards the support platform 1100. This drives the punch 1200 closer to the support platform 1100, thereby deforming the tongue 201. One end of the punch 1200 is located in the forming groove 1120. After the support platform 1100 is stopped by the stop block, the shaping drive 1310 stops driving. When the punch 1200 exits the forming groove 1120, on the one hand, the shaping drive component 1310 drives the pre-pressing block 1321 to move away from the support platform 1100. In the initial stage of the movement, the support platform 1100 moves synchronously with the pre-pressing block 1321 under the action of the elastic support component 1420 until it abuts against the limiting boss. After that, the pre-pressing block 1321 separates from the support platform 1100, and the lever component 1322 separates from the abutting component 1500, thereby realizing the reset of the linkage component 1320. When the support platform 1100 moves close to the base 1400 under the drive of the shaping drive component 1310, the bending and shaping component 1600 does not move relative to the base 1400, so that the support platform 1100 and the bending and shaping component 1600 move relative to each other, thereby causing the part of the paper card 20 that overlaps on the bending and shaping component 1600 to bend relative to the paper card 20 located on the support surface 1110, thus realizing the bending and shaping of the paper card 20.After the shaping is completed, the pre-pressing block 1321 no longer presses down on the paper card 20. The suction nozzle of the second adsorption component 1750 is controlled to adsorb the paper card 20 on the support platform 1100. Then, the flipping drive component 1710 drives the flipping rack 1720 to move closer to the support platform 1100. The flipping rack 1720 drives the flipping gear 1730 and the flipping bracket 1740 to flip 90 degrees. At this time, the paper card 20 is in a vertical state, waiting for the first adsorption component 2400 of the paper card loading device 2 to adsorb it.

[0150] Paper card loading process 20: The transfer mechanism 7 moves the empty wire harness carrier 10 from the second conveyor section 62 to the paper card loading device 2. The three-way drive module 3 controls the paper card loading device 2 to move to the shaping device 1, and puts the first adsorption component 2400 in a state where it can dock with the second adsorption component 1750. At this time, the first adsorption component 2400 adsorbs the paper card 20, and the second adsorption component 1750 releases the paper card 20, realizing the transfer of the paper card 20. Afterwards, the three-way drive module 3 controls the paper card loading device 2 to reset. Next, the paper card loading drive component 2100 drives the linkage mechanism 2200 to actuate, so that the push component 2310 extends and moves to one side of the wire harness carrier 10. During this process, the first adsorption component 2400 stops adsorbing the paper card 20, and the gripper 2313, under the action of the elastic component 2314, pushes the paper card 20 to the side wall of the wire harness carrier 10 through the contoured push surface 2311. After pressing the paper card pressing block 102 of the wire harness carrier 10 onto the paper card 20, the paper card drive component 2100 drives the push component 2310 to retract.

[0151] Winding and paper card 20 clamping process: The transfer mechanism 7 transfers the wire harness carrier 10 containing the paper card 20 to the first conveyor section 61, so that the wire harness carrier 10 is conveyed to the winding station and the paper card 20 clamping station via the first conveyor section 61, so that the wire harness carrier 10 is manually wound and the paper card 20 is clamped. After the paper card 20 is clamped, the carrier transporter moves the wire harness carrier 10 to the second conveyor section 62, and the second conveyor section 62 conveys the wire harness carrier 10 to the unloading station, completing one cycle of the process.
