[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only, representing schematic diagrams rather than actual physical objects, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings for those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a movable wire clamp, including a wire feeding base plate 1, a first cylinder 2, and a clamp. A slide rail 3 is arranged on the wire feeding base plate 1, and a slider 4 is mounted on the slide rail 3. A connecting plate 5 is mounted on the top of the slider 4. The first cylinder 2 is arranged on the rear side of the wire feeding base 1 via a fixing plate 10, and its drive shaft extends out of the fixing plate 10 and is mounted on the connecting plate 5, for driving the connecting plate 5 to move back and forth. The clamp is movably arranged above the connecting plate 5 via a rotating plate 6, and the clamp includes a second cylinder 7, a second... A clamping plate 8 and a second clamping plate 9 are provided. A second cylinder 7 is arranged on the right side of the rotating plate 6. The first clamping plate 8 is located on the lower left side of the rotating plate 6, with an L-shaped front end. The second clamping plate 8 is movably arranged on the upper left side of the rotating plate 6 and is in contact with the top surface of the first clamping plate 8. The front end of the second clamping plate 9 is an inverted L-shaped part that mates with the L-shaped part of the first clamping plate 8. The vertical surfaces of the inverted L-shaped part and the L-shaped part mate to form a wire clamping area. The second cylinder 7 drives the second clamping plate 9 to move back and forth, thereby clamping or releasing the wire. Specifically, the second cylinder 7 drives the second clamping plate 9 to move back and forth in this manner. A first support plate 91 is provided in the middle of the right side of the second clamping plate 9, and the drive shaft of the second cylinder 7 is fixed to the first support plate 91. The cylinder shaft of the second cylinder extends, driving the second clamping plate forward, so that the vertical surfaces of the second clamping plate and the second clamping plate approach each other, thereby clamping the wire.

[0022] Furthermore, the top surface of the wire feeding base plate 1 is provided with a long through groove 11 along its length direction, and the slide rail 3 is set in the long through groove 11 for convenient and quick positioning and installation.

[0023] Meanwhile, a connector 12 is provided at the front end of the drive shaft of the first cylinder 2, and a T-shaped through groove 51 for accommodating the connector 12 is provided on the rear side of the connecting plate 5. The drive shaft of the first cylinder 2 is mounted on the connecting plate 5 through the connector 12. The connector 12 is a convex column that is movably arranged in the T-shaped through groove 51. During installation, the vertical position of the connector 12 can be adjusted appropriately. This design ensures that the axial direction of the drive shaft of the first cylinder is consistent with the moving direction of the connecting plate during installation, avoiding jamming between the drive shaft and the cylinder body.

[0024] To limit the movement distance of the clamp, a first limiting plate 13 is provided at the rear end of the right side of the connecting plate 5, and a second limiting plate 14 is provided at the rear end of the right side of the wire feeding base plate 1. A first limiting bolt 15 is provided on the first limiting plate 13, and the first limiting bolt 15 is movably disposed through the second limiting plate 14, with its head located at the rear end of the second limiting plate 14. Under the action of the first and second limiting plates, the first limiting bolt can limit the forward movement distance of the entire wire clamp.

[0025] In this embodiment, the clamp is movably arranged above the connecting plate via a rotating plate 6. The rotating plate 6 is movably positioned above the connecting plate 5, and the clamp is fixed to the rotating plate 6. The lifting and lowering of the clamp can raise and lower the rotating plate. Specifically, the connecting plate 5 has two vertical arms 51 on its top rear side, and the lower rear end of the rotating plate 6 is movably positioned between the two vertical arms 51 of the connecting plate 5 via a rotating shaft 16. A spring 17 is provided between the front bottom surface of the rotating plate 6 and the connecting plate 5. Under the action of the rotating shaft 16 and the spring 17, the rotating plate 6 is positioned above the connecting plate 5 and is relatively stable. At this time, the clamp also remains relatively stable. When the front end of the clamp is subjected to a downward force, the clamp and the rotating plate rotate and move downward together around the rotating shaft.

[0026] In order to limit the downward pressing distance of the clamp and avoid collision between the rotating plate and the connecting plate, a rotation limiting plate 18 is provided on the right side of the connecting plate 5. A limiting groove 181 is vertically formed on the rotation limiting plate 18. A limiting rod 19 is provided on the lower right side of the rotating plate 6 located below the second cylinder 7. The end of the limiting rod 19 away from the second cylinder is movably disposed in the limiting groove 181.

[0027] To facilitate the quick installation of the first and second clamping plates, a positioning slot 61 is provided on the rear side of the rotating plate 6. The first clamping plate 8 is fixed at the lower part of the positioning slot 61, and the second clamping plate 9 is movably arranged at the upper part of the positioning slot 61 with its rear end extending out of the positioning slot 61.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to guide the movement of the second clamping plate, the top inner side of the positioning through groove 61 is recessed upward to form a guide groove 62, and the top rear side of the second clamping plate 9 is formed with a guide bar 92 that matches the guide groove 62. The second clamping plate 9 is guided during movement through the cooperation of the guide bar 92 and the guide groove 62.

[0029] To limit the movement distance of the clamp, a second support plate 93 is provided at the rear end of the right side of the second clamping plate 9, located behind the second cylinder 7. A second limiting bolt 20 is threaded onto the second support plate 93. The second limiting bolt 20 is arranged in the front-rear direction and its front end extends out of the second support plate 93. By changing the distance between the front end of the second bolt and the second cylinder, the spacing between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate after clamping can be adjusted.

[0030] In use, this wire clamping device is positioned appropriately within the wire harness processing equipment. Under the action of other mechanisms, the wire enters the clamping area of ​​the first and second clamping plates. Then, the second cylinder actuates to move the second clamping plate forward, clamping the wire for cutting and stripping. Next, the first cylinder actuates, and under the action of the slide rail slider, the entire fixture moves forward to another area for the next operation, such as terminal crimping. At this time, the front end of the fixture will be subjected to force and rotate downward to ensure the crimping effect. Once this operation is completed, the second cylinder actuates to drive the second clamping plate back, opening the fixture to facilitate the transfer of the processed wire to other workpieces. The first cylinder drives the entire fixture back to its original position. Simultaneously, the first and second clamping plates of the fixture are in the open state, awaiting instructions for the next clamping.
