[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a wiring rod for assembling wire harnesses, including a base 1, a clamp 2, and a fixing plate 3. The base 1 has a first opening groove 11 and a second opening groove 12 that are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the first opening groove 11 has a plurality of through holes 111 that are adapted to the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2. The through holes 111 penetrate to the second opening groove 12. The fixing plate 3 has a first notch 31 that is adapted to the fixing part 21 that penetrates to the second opening groove 12, and the fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed in the second opening groove 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the clamp 2 is used to clamp the wire. The fixing part 21 of the clamp 2 is inserted into the through hole for installation. Specifically, it can be fixed by interference fit or by adhesive. After the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2 is installed in the through hole 111, the opening part 22 of the clamp 2 is located above the groove plane of the first opening groove 11. The fixing plate 3 is used to fix the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2 in conjunction with the through hole 111. The fixing plate 3 is installed in the second opening groove 12 by a detachable fixing connection to facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the clamp 2.

[0030] This embodiment enables on-demand and sequential wiring by setting multiple clamps 2 on the wiring rod, eliminating the need to identify wire specifications during the wire harness assembly process, thus improving wire harness assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the wiring rod can cooperate with wire harness wiring equipment to achieve automatic wiring, further improving the overall wire harness assembly efficiency. The second opening slot 12 and fixing plate 3 facilitate the replacement of damaged clamps 2, preventing the entire wiring rod from becoming unusable due to the damage of a single clamp 2, thereby reducing the usage and maintenance costs of the wiring rod.

[0031] Optionally, the outer side of the bottom of the second opening groove 12 is parallel to and on the same plane as one outer side of the first opening groove 11; after the fixing plate 3 is installed in the second opening groove 12, one side of the fixing plate 3 is at the same height as the opening of the second opening groove 12, and is parallel to and on the same plane as the other outer side of the first opening groove 11.

[0032] Optionally, the through hole 111 partially extends to the bottom of the second opening groove 12, meaning that the connection between the second opening groove 12 and the through hole 111 is provided with a connecting groove adapted to the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2. After the clamp 2 is inserted into the through hole 111, a portion of the fixing part 21 will extend into the bottom of the second opening groove 12. To prevent this portion of the fixing part 21 from obstructing the fixing plate 3 from being fixed in the second opening groove 12, a first notch 31 adapted to the fixing part 21 extending into the second opening groove 12 is provided on the fixing plate 3. The fixing plate 3 may be provided with multiple first notches 31 adapted to each fixing part.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the through holes 111 are arranged at a preset interval at the bottom of the first opening groove 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, through holes 111 are provided at preset intervals to reserve sufficient space for the opening and closing portion 22 of the clamp 2 to open and close, meeting the fixing requirements of wires of various sizes. An arrangement method is adopted to meet the requirement of sequential wiring of wires, enabling the wire harness assembly equipment to use coordinate positioning to position the wires for wire harness assembly, thus meeting the requirement of on-demand and sequential assembly.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, a plastic spacer 13 is provided between the clamps 2, and a fixing groove 14 adapted to the plastic spacer 13 is provided between the through holes 111. One end of the plastic spacer 13 is inserted into the fixing groove 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, a buffer portion 23 is provided between the fixing portion 21 and the opening and closing portion 22 of the clamp 2. The shape of the plastic spacer 13 is adapted to the buffer portion 23, and the plastic spacer 13 abuts against the buffer portion 23. By providing the plastic spacer 13, the opening and closing force of the opening and closing portion 22 can be improved, preventing the clamp 2 from loosening after long-term use and causing the wire to fall off.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the clamp 2 includes a left clamp 24 and a right clamp 25. One end of the left clamp 24 is provided with a first locking post or a first locking hole 241, and one end of the right clamp is provided with a first locking hole or a first locking post 251. The left clamp 24 and the right clamp 25 are engaged with the first locking post 251 through the first locking hole 241 to form the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the left clamp 24 and the right clamp 25 are engaged to improve the assembly efficiency of the clamp 2 and facilitate maintenance and replacement of the clamps.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the upper end of the opening and closing part 22 of the clamp 2 is provided with two symmetrical inclined surfaces 221 that slope from the outside to the inside; the lower end of the opening and closing part 22 of the clamp 2 is provided with two recessed symmetrical arc surfaces 222, and the two symmetrical arc surfaces 222 abut against one end of the fixing part 21.

[0040] In this embodiment, the clamp 2 consists of a left clamp 24 and a right clamp 25. The left clamp and the right clamp are respectively provided with a bevel 221 and an arc surface 222. After the left clamp and the right clamp are fixedly connected (such as by welding or adhesive bonding), the two bevels 221 form a guide surface when the wire is pressed into the clamp 2, so as to facilitate automated wiring. The two arc surfaces 222 form a clamping surface after the wire is pressed into the clamp 2, so as to better fit the shape of the wire and thus improve the clamping stability.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2 is provided with an inverted L-shaped notch 211, which is adapted to the first notch 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the clamp 2 is inserted into the through hole 111, a portion of it abuts against the second opening groove 12. Therefore, in order to ensure that the fixing plate 3 fits perfectly against the entire second opening groove 12 and to improve the fixing effect on the clamp 2, an inverted L-shaped notch 211 that matches the first notch 31 is provided in the fixing part.

[0043] Optionally, the first notch 31 is a groove-shaped notch. After the fixing part 21 of the clamp 2 is inserted into the through hole 111, the inverted L-shaped notch 211 is located in the second opening groove 12. The groove of the first notch 31 and the inverted L-shaped notch 211 abut against each other and engage with each other to fill the notch space, forming a notch-free structure in the second opening groove 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, the bottom of the second opening groove 12 is provided with a second locking post 121 or a second locking hole 122, and the fixing plate 3 is provided with a third locking hole or a third locking post that is adapted to the second locking post 121 or the second locking hole 122.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the second opening groove 12 by the cooperation of the locking pin and the locking hole, so as to facilitate the removal of the fixing plate 3 and thus facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the clamp 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the base 1 has end seats 5 at both ends, and the end seats 5 are fixedly connected to the base 1 and the fixing plate 3. The end seats 5 in this embodiment facilitate the movement of the wiring bar, meeting the automatic loading and unloading requirements of the wiring harness equipment.

[0047] This utility model provides a wire harness wiring device, including the above-mentioned wiring rod A.

[0048] The wiring harness equipment in this embodiment also includes a robot arm B, a wiring bar station, and an upper or lower bar track. The upper bar track automatically transports the wiring bar to the wiring bar station, where the robot arm grips the wire and presses it into the clamp of the wiring bar. After wiring is completed, the lower bar track automatically transports the wiring bar to the wiring harness assembly equipment for assembly.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
