[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive cable testing equipment, specifically relating to a cable sheath positioning and testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, some cables have two sheaths of different sizes installed, and each sheath needs to be in a corresponding position. In the existing technology, after measuring with a ruler, the sheaths are moved manually. After the movement is completed, a person still needs to check whether the position and size of the sheaths are reversed. That is, the whole process needs to be divided into two steps, and each step is entirely manual. In long-term work, inspection errors are prone to occur. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model proposes to provide a cable sheath positioning and detection machine that automatically moves two sheaths, ensuring the positioning distance between the two sheaths and automatically detecting the position of the large and small sheaths to avoid the situation where the large and small sheaths are installed backwards.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a cable sheath positioning and testing machine, including a workbench set on a bottom support frame. From left to right, the workbench is provided with an end placement component for placing the end of the cable, a cable clamping component for clamping the cable, a sheath confirmation component for moving and determining the position of the large and small sheaths, and a tail support component for supporting the other end of the cable. Above the workbench, through an upper support frame, is a detection component for detecting whether the large and small sheaths are installed backwards.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the above solution, the end-point placement assembly includes an end-point telescopic cylinder mounted on a workbench. The output end of the end-point telescopic cylinder is provided with an end-point placement seat that can move left and right, and the end-point placement seat is provided with an end-point groove for inserting the end.

[0006] Further preferably, the cable clamping assembly includes a positioning clamping cylinder mounted on the worktable. The positioning clamping cylinder is provided with two positioning moving blocks that can move in opposite directions. Each positioning moving block is provided with a positioning clamping block for clamping the cable. The two positioning clamping blocks are provided with clamping patterns on opposite sides to facilitate clamping the cable.

[0007] In a further preferred embodiment, two sheath confirmation components are arranged at intervals on the left and right, respectively corresponding to the positions of the large sheath and the small sheath. The sheath confirmation component includes a sheath moving cylinder and a sheath limiting block, both of which are arranged on the worktable. The output end of the sheath moving cylinder is provided with a sheath moving block for driving the corresponding sheath to move toward the sheath limiting block.

[0008] More preferably, the detection assembly includes a detection device mounted on an upper support frame via a detection bracket, and the upper support frame is provided with a protective cover for protecting the detection device.

[0009] More preferably, the tail support assembly includes a tail support seat disposed on the workbench, and the upper end of the tail support seat is provided with a tail slot for the cable to be inserted.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the upper support frame is equipped with a cable unloading assembly for removing the cable via a three-axis moving component. The cable unloading assembly includes two material-removing clamping cylinders arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides. Each material-removing clamping cylinder is equipped with two material-removing moving blocks that can move in opposite directions. Each material-removing moving block is equipped with a material-removing clamping block. Each material-removing clamping cylinder is mounted on the three-axis moving component via a corresponding material-removing bracket.

[0011] Further preferably, the three-axis moving assembly includes a left-right moving assembly, a front-back moving assembly, and a up-down moving assembly. The left-right moving assembly is mounted on the upper support frame, the front-back moving assembly is mounted on the left-right moving assembly, and the up-down moving assembly is mounted on the front-back moving assembly. The up-down moving assembly is provided with an up-down moving block, and the up-down moving block is provided with a connecting block extending left and right. Two material picking brackets are correspondingly mounted on the corresponding ends of the connecting blocks.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the end placement component, the cable clamping component, and the tail support component provide fixed support for the cable; the sheath confirmation component enables the sheath to move to the corresponding position; and the detection component detects whether the sheath is installed backwards. The automatic movement and positioning of the two sheaths not only ensures the positioning distance between the two sheaths and reduces manpower input, but also automatically detects the position of the large and small sheaths, reducing the possibility of reverse installation of the large and small sheaths.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figure 2-5 As shown, a cable sheath positioning and testing machine mainly consists of a bottom support frame 1, a worktable 2, an upper support frame 3, an end placement component, a cable clamping component, a sheath confirmation component, and a tail support component. The worktable 2 is mounted on the bottom support frame 1. The end placement component, cable clamping component, sheath confirmation component, and tail support component are arranged sequentially from left to right on the worktable 2. The end placement component is used to place the cable end, the cable clamping component is used to clamp the cable, the sheath confirmation component is used to move and determine the position of the large and small sheaths, and the tail support component is used to support the other end of the cable. The cable is fixedly positioned through the combined action of the end placement component, cable clamping component, and tail support component. The testing component is mounted on the upper support frame 3, above the worktable 2, and is used to detect whether the large and small sheaths are installed backwards.

[0021] Specifically, the end placement assembly includes an end telescopic cylinder 4 mounted on the workbench 2, an end placement seat 5 that can move left and right at the output end of the end telescopic cylinder 4, and an end slot for inserting the end on the end placement seat 5. Because of the end telescopic cylinder, the entire testing equipment can be used to test cables of different lengths.

[0022] Since the end of the cable includes a cap 6, a buckle 7, and a bend 8, and the end of the bend away from the buckle is provided with an anti-detachment structure to prevent the cable from detaching, in order to limit the end, the end groove matches the main body of the bend, and end limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the end groove on the end placement seat, and the end limiting blocks are provided with end grooves for the end to be inserted into. One end groove is inserted into the cap, and the other end groove is inserted into the side of the anti-detachment structure away from the cap.

[0023] The cable clamping assembly includes a positioning clamping cylinder 9 mounted on the worktable 2. Two positioning moving blocks that can move in opposite directions are mounted on the positioning clamping cylinder 9. Each positioning moving block is equipped with a positioning clamping block 11 for clamping the cable. The two positioning clamping blocks 11 are provided with clamping patterns on opposite sides to facilitate clamping the cable. The clamping patterns are formed by alternating vertically extending protrusions and grooves.

[0024] Two sheath confirmation components are spaced apart on the left and right, corresponding to the positions of the large and small sheaths respectively. The sheath confirmation component includes a sheath moving cylinder 12 and a sheath limiting block 13, both mounted on the worktable 2. A sheath moving block 14 is provided at the output end of the sheath moving cylinder 12 to move the corresponding sheath towards the sheath limiting block 13. Sheath limiting grooves for the cable to engage are provided at the upper ends of both the sheath moving block 14 and the sheath limiting block 13. The positions of the two sheaths are determined by the positions of the two sheath limiting blocks, and then the sheath moving cylinders are activated to bring the sheaths into contact with the sheath limiting blocks, thus ensuring accurate sheath positioning.

[0025] The tail support assembly includes a tail support seat 18 set on the workbench 2. A tail slot for inserting the cable is provided at the upper end of the tail support seat 18. The upper end of the tail slot and the sheath limiting groove is provided with a V-shape, and the lower end of the V-shape is provided with an arc groove for placing the cable.

[0026] Ideally, a cable unloading assembly for removing the cable is installed on the upper support frame 3 via a three-axis moving assembly. The cable unloading assembly includes two oppositely arranged picking clamping cylinders 19. Two picking moving blocks that can move in opposite directions are provided on the picking clamping cylinders 19. Picking clamping blocks 20 are provided on the picking moving blocks. Each picking clamping cylinder 19 is mounted on the three-axis moving assembly via a corresponding picking bracket 10. An anti-drop protrusion is provided below the picking clamping block to prevent the cable from falling. After the cable is clamped, the cable is located above the anti-drop protrusion.

[0027] The three-axis moving assembly includes a left-right moving assembly, a front-back moving assembly, and a vertical moving assembly. The left-right moving assembly is mounted on the upper support frame, the front-back moving assembly is mounted on the left-right moving assembly, and the vertical moving assembly is mounted on the front-back moving assembly. The vertical moving assembly has vertical moving blocks, and horizontally extending connecting blocks 21 are mounted on the vertical moving blocks. Two material handling brackets 10 are correspondingly mounted on the corresponding ends of the connecting blocks 21. In this embodiment, the left-right and front-back moving assemblies use existing motor screw moving modules, the vertical moving assembly uses telescopic cylinders, and the positioning clamping cylinder and material handling clamping cylinder use pneumatic fingers. The upper support frame is mounted on the bottom support frame.

[0028] The detection assembly includes a detection device 16 mounted on an upper support frame 3 via a detection bracket 15. A protective cover 17 for protecting the detection device is provided on the upper support frame 3. The detection uses a camera. A control box with a control system is located inside the bottom support frame. An operation box is provided on the workbench. The operation box is equipped with a display panel, an emergency stop button, a start button for starting the device, and an indicator light showing whether the protective cover is reversed. When the protective cover is reversed, the indicator light illuminates. The camera, three-axis motion assembly, display panel, emergency stop button, and start device are all electrically connected to the control system. The control system has the functions of controlling the end telescopic cylinder, positioning and clamping cylinder, and protective cover movement cylinder. It adopts a structure with information receiving, information sending, and information processing functions, as is common in the prior art. The operation panel adopts a structure with interactive functions, as is common in the prior art.

[0029] During operation, the distance between the end and the sheath limiting block 13 is pre-adjusted using the end telescopic cylinder to ensure it meets design requirements. Then, the cable with the sheath is placed correctly, ensuring both sheaths are positioned between the sheath moving block 14 and the sheath limiting block 13. The equipment is then started, activating the positioning clamping cylinder 9 to clamp the cable. The sheath moving cylinder 12 then moves the sheath to the corresponding position. The equipment then takes a picture to check for reverse installation. If no reverse installation is detected, the positioning clamping cylinder releases, and the three-axis moving assembly activates, clamping the cable using the material-retrieving clamping block. The three-axis moving assembly then activates again to remove the cable, and the sheath moving cylinder resets. If reverse installation is detected, an indicator light illuminates to alert the worker.
