Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire processing technology, specifically to an automatic wire processing equipment for wire arrangement and sorting. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wire processing, wire arrangement is a crucial process that determines the quality of finished wires. Traditional wire processing equipment generally suffers from low automation, insufficient wire arrangement precision, and unstable tension control. On the one hand, the wire feeding process relies on mechanical tensioners or manual adjustment, making it difficult to dynamically compensate for tension fluctuations in real time, which can easily lead to wire stretching deformation or loosening and knotting. On the other hand, the wire arrangement stage mostly uses mechanical limiting devices with fixed spacing, which cannot adapt to the precise arrangement requirements of wires of different diameters, and manual visual inspection of wire arrangement is inefficient, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements for wire arrangement precision in fields such as aerospace and high-end electronic equipment. In addition, traditional arrangement equipment lacks effective cleaning of impurities on the wire surface and intelligent adjustment of spacing, resulting in a low finished product qualification rate.

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides an automatic wire processing equipment for wire arrangement, which can effectively solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic wire processing equipment for arranging and organizing wires, including a frame 1, a vision recognition mechanism 5, a wire feeding device 2, a wire arranging device 3 located on one side of the wire feeding device 2, an organizing device 4, and a control system 101. The control system 101 is integrated on one side of the frame 1 and is connected to the wire feeding device 2. The wire feeding device 2 includes a wire feeding wheel 201 connected to a servo motor and a tension sensor 202. The tension sensor 202 monitors the wire tension in real time and feeds it back to the control system 101. The vision recognition mechanism 5 is movably disposed above the wire arranging device 3. The vision recognition mechanism 5 is used to collect images of the wire arrangement in real time and transmit them to the control system 101 for analysis.

[0025] In this embodiment, the wire feeding device 2 drives the wire feeding wheel 201 to rotate via a servo motor, achieving continuous feeding of the wire to be processed. The tension sensor 202 monitors the wire tension in real time. When the wire tension becomes abnormal due to changes in feeding speed or resistance during wire laying, the sensor feeds back a signal to the control system 101 (PLC controller). The control system 101 calculates the tension using an algorithm and automatically adjusts the servo motor speed to maintain the wire tension within a preset range. This prevents excessive tension from causing wire stretching and deformation, or insufficient tension from causing tangling and confusion, thus forming a closed-loop dynamic tension control mechanism.

[0026] The cable laying device 3 includes a lead screw drive assembly 301 driven by a stepper motor 302, a guide wheel assembly 303, and a transverse guide rail. The lead screw drive assembly 301 drives the guide wheel assembly 303 to reciprocate on the transverse guide rail. The guide wheel assembly 303 includes at least three guide wheels, and a V-shaped groove is formed between adjacent guide wheels.

[0027] The industrial camera 502 of the visual recognition mechanism 5 slides on the frame 1 via the movable base 501, allowing it to be adjusted to the optimal shooting position. Combined with surrounding ring-shaped LED beads providing uniform illumination, it clearly captures images of the wire arrangement above the wiring device 3. After the image is transmitted to the control system 101, the image recognition algorithm analyzes parameters such as wire spacing and offset, comparing them with preset wiring standards. If an arrangement deviation is detected, the control system 101 sends a command to the stepper motor 302, driving the lead screw transmission assembly 301 to precisely move the guide wheel assembly 303 along the transverse guide rail. The V-groove structure of the guide wheel assembly 303 provides limiting guidance for the wires, and the included angle design of adjacent guide wheels ensures automatic alignment of the wires during movement, achieving precise wiring adjustment based on visual feedback.

[0028] The sorting device 4 includes a rotating brush 402 and a pneumatic gripper 401. The rotating brush 402 is driven by a motor to clean the surface of the wires, and the pneumatic gripper 401 is used to clamp and adjust the spacing of the wires.

[0029] The rotating brush 402 is driven by a motor to rotate at high speed (500-1000 rpm). Its anti-static nylon bristles effectively remove dust, oil, or processing residue from the surface of the wires, preventing these impurities from affecting subsequent processes or the quality of the finished product. The two symmetrical gripper arms of the pneumatic gripper 401 monitor the clamping force in real time via pressure sensors. When the control system 101 issues an adjustment command based on visual recognition results, the gripper arms open and close via pneumatic pressure, clamping the wires at a preset pressure and moving laterally to adjust the wire spacing. The pressure sensors feed back data to the control system 101 to prevent excessive clamping force from damaging the wire insulation, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the spacing adjustment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the wire feeding device 2, wire laying device 3, and finishing device 4 are quickly assembled and disassembled with the frame 1 via standardized interfaces (electrical interfaces and mechanical positioning pins). The control signals and power supply of each module are connected to the PLC controller via an RS485 bus. The human-machine interface allows operators to set parameters such as wire laying speed, spacing, and brush rotation speed, and displays the equipment's operating status in real time (such as tension value, motor speed, and visual recognition analysis results). The adjustable support feet 102 adjust the height of the frame 1 by rotating the screw 103. The anti-slip pad 104 enhances the equipment's stability and adapts to different ground flatness levels. The observation window on the transparent protective cover facilitates real-time monitoring of the processing process, and the emergency stop button quickly cuts off the power source in case of abnormalities, ensuring operational safety.

[0031] Furthermore, the lead screw drive assembly 301 includes a lead screw and a slider. The slider is fixedly connected to the guide wheel assembly 303. Both ends of the lead screw are mounted on the frame 1 through bearing seats. The stepper motor 302 is connected to the lead screw through a coupling.

[0032] The stepper motor 302 drives the lead screw through the coupling, and the slider drives the guide wheel group 303 to move. The positioning error is ≤0.1mm. With the geometric guidance of the V-groove, it ensures that the lateral movement of the wire is uniform, which solves the problems of easy slippage and large positioning deviation of traditional belt drive.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the V-groove of the guide wheel assembly 303 is provided with an elastic buffer layer 304 made of silicone material, the thickness of which is 1-3mm. This 1-3mm silicone buffer layer on the inner wall of the V-groove of the guide wheel provides flexible support when the wire changes direction or is under stress, reducing the coefficient of friction by 40%. This effectively avoids scratches on the wire sheath caused by traditional metal guide wheels, making it particularly suitable for processing thin-walled insulated wires or multi-core cables.

[0034] Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper 401 includes two symmetrically arranged gripper arms. A pressure sensor is disposed on the inner side of each gripper arm, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control system 101. The pressure sensor on the inner side of the gripper arm provides real-time feedback of the clamping force, and the control system 101 dynamically adjusts the air pressure to maintain the clamping force at 1-5 N / mm. 2 (Automatically matched according to wire diameter) This ensures the displacement accuracy during spacing adjustment and prevents insulation layer damage caused by overvoltage, reducing the defect rate of finished products to below 0.3%.

[0035] Furthermore, the visual recognition mechanism 5 includes an industrial camera 502, multiple LED beads, and a movable base 501 for mounting the industrial camera 502. The movable base 501 is slidably engaged with the frame 1, and each of the LED beads is mounted around the industrial camera 502. The industrial camera 502, combined with a PLC controller, enables real-time dynamic monitoring of wire arrangement. Compared to traditional manual visual inspection or simple mechanical limiting, the wiring accuracy is improved by more than 60%, and it can adapt to the precision arrangement requirements of wires with different diameters from 0.5 to 10 mm.

[0036] Furthermore, the control system 101 includes a PLC controller and a human-machine interface. The PLC controller is communicatively connected to the servo motor, stepper motor 302, and tension sensor 202 via an RS485 bus. As the core control unit of the equipment, the PLC controller establishes a communication network with peripherals such as the servo motor, stepper motor 302, tension sensor 202, and pressure sensor via the RS485 bus. The human-machine interface allows operators to set parameters such as wire speed, spacing, and brush rotation speed, and displays the equipment's operating status in real time, balancing production efficiency and operational convenience.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame 1 is equipped with adjustable feet 102. Each adjustable foot 102 includes a screw 103 and an anti-slip pad 104. The screw 103 is threadedly connected to the frame 1, and the anti-slip pad 104 is fixed to the bottom of the screw 103. The adjustable feet 102 at the bottom of the frame 1 achieve equipment leveling by rotating the screw 103 (adjustment stroke ±50mm). The anti-slip pad 104 provides a friction coefficient of 0.6, ensuring the stability of the equipment during high-speed operation (maximum cable routing speed 20m / min).

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
