Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal correction technology, and in particular to an automated correction device for wire harness terminals. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the wave of industrialization and intelligent manufacturing, the automotive, consumer electronics, and aerospace industries are accelerating their transformation towards automation and intelligence. As a key component of electrical connections, the manufacturing precision of wire harnesses directly affects equipment performance and reliability. With increasingly sophisticated terminal designs, such as high-voltage wire harness terminals for new energy vehicles and micro-sized terminals for 5G communication equipment, traditional manual or semi-automatic correction methods are unable to meet the precision requirements of sub-millimeter or even micrometer levels. At the same time, the industry is demanding higher standards for production efficiency. The number of terminals that a single production line in an automotive wire harness factory needs to process is insufficient, and the number of terminals that can be processed manually per hour is far from meeting the capacity demand. Technological upgrades are forcing companies to seek more efficient and precise automated correction solutions.

[0003] Traditional automated wire harness terminal straightening devices may experience signal drift and accelerated component aging in high-temperature, high-humidity, and strong electromagnetic interference environments. This can lead to distorted detection data or abnormal actuator operation. Furthermore, traditional devices rely on fixed fixtures and dedicated program modes, requiring manual adjustment of mechanical fixtures and recalibration of vision system parameters when changing to different terminal specifications. Current market solutions address these issues by adding liquid-cooling modules to core components, using circulating coolant to maintain a specific temperature, and wrapping key motor and sensor parts with nano-insulation materials to prevent external heat conduction. However, traditional automated wire harness terminal straightening devices cannot securely clamp wire harness terminals of different shapes and specifications. This can cause equipment downtime during changeovers, preventing production. For automated production lines, the downtime of a single device can lead to a chain reaction of shutdowns, impacting the coordinated operation of upstream and downstream processes.
