Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wire harness terminal processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated device and system for cutting and inspecting wire harness terminals. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of wire harness technology and the increasing emphasis on product safety by wire harness terminals, the quality requirements for wire harness terminals are also becoming increasingly stringent. Cross-sectional inspection and analysis have become an important means of confirming the crimping quality of wire harness terminals. Existing terminal cross-sectional inspection devices include terminal cutting and grinding, and cross-sectional inspection, but the cutting and grinding mechanism and the cross-sectional inspection mechanism are independent, separate structures. During the cutting and grinding stage, the position of the wire harness terminal can only be manually adjusted, which is prone to poor cutting and grinding quality due to human error. During the inspection stage, the cut and ground terminals need to be transferred to a separate cross-sectional inspection mechanism for inspection, resulting in interruption of the connection process and significantly reducing work efficiency.

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0070] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0071] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0072] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, battery power supply systems have become a core component, and an increasing number of power cables are being used in vehicle systems. Cross-sectional inspection and analysis have become crucial methods for verifying the quality of wire harness terminal crimping. Existing terminal cross-sectional inspection devices include terminal cutting and grinding, and cross-sectional inspection, but the cutting and grinding mechanism and the cross-sectional inspection mechanism are independent, separate structures. During the cutting and grinding stage, the position of the wire harness terminal can only be manually adjusted, which is prone to poor cutting and grinding quality due to human error. During the inspection stage, the cut and ground terminals need to be transferred to a separate cross-sectional inspection mechanism for testing, causing interruptions in the connection process and significantly reducing work efficiency.
[0073] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this application provides an integrated device for cutting and inspecting wire harness terminals, including a housing 10, a translation component 20, a clamping component 30, a cutting and grinding component 40, and an image detection component 50. The translation component 20 is disposed within the housing 10. The clamping component 30 is disposed on the translation component 20 and is configured to clamp the component to be inspected. The cutting and grinding component 40 is disposed within the housing 10 and located on one side of the translation component 20. The cutting and grinding component 40 is configured to cut and grind the terminals of the component to be inspected. The image detection component 50 is disposed within the housing 10 and is spaced apart from the cutting and grinding component 40 in a first direction. The image detection component 50 includes multiple cameras with non-parallel optical axes to capture images of the terminals in multiple different directions. The translation component 20 is configured to drive the clamping component 30 to move along the first direction and the second direction, so that the component to be inspected moves between the cutting and grinding component 40 and the image detection component 50.
[0074] As can be seen from the above, by arranging the cutting and grinding assembly 40 and the image detection assembly 50 at intervals in the first direction, and using the translation assembly 20 to drive the clamping assembly 30 to move in the first direction, the clamping assembly 30 can move between the cutting and grinding assembly 40 and the image detection assembly 50 to adjust the position of the workpiece to be inspected in the first direction; and using the translation assembly 20 to drive the clamping assembly 30 to move in the second direction, the position of the workpiece to be inspected in the second direction can be adjusted so that the workpiece to be inspected can be aligned with the cutting and grinding assembly 40 and the image detection assembly 50; thereby realizing the cutting, grinding, and cross-sectional inspection of the terminal. Compared with the prior art, this application integrates the cutting, grinding, and inspection processes into one and realizes automated continuous operation; specifically, the automated operation mode shortens the process connection time, reduces labor costs, and improves work efficiency, while also eliminating human error and improving the accuracy of the cutting and grinding position. At the same time, this application uses the image detection assembly 50 to inspect the cross-sectional quality of the terminal after cutting and grinding, improving the processing quality. In addition, by using the image detection assembly 50 to take pictures of the terminal in multiple different directions to simultaneously detect multiple positions of the terminal, the detection efficiency and accuracy are greatly improved.
[0075] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, the first direction is parallel to the Y direction, the second direction is parallel to the X direction, and the third direction is parallel to the Z direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to the third direction.
[0076] It should also be noted that the component to be tested includes wires and terminals crimped to the wires.
[0077] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the translation component 20 includes a first translation part 210 and a second translation part 220; the first translation part 210 is disposed inside the housing 10; the second translation part 220 is movably disposed on the first translation part 210; wherein, the clamping component 30 is disposed on the second translation part 220, the first translation part 210 is configured to drive the second translation part 220 to move along a first direction, and the second translation part 220 is configured to drive the clamping component 30 to move along a second direction.
[0078] The first translation part 210 drives the second translation part 220 to move along the first direction, and the clamp assembly 30 moves with the second translation part 220 in the first direction. The second translation part 220 drives the clamp assembly 30 to move along the second direction, thereby realizing the automatic movement of the clamp assembly 30 in the first and second directions, so that the position of the workpiece to be tested does not need to be manually adjusted.
[0079] It should be noted that the first translation unit 210 includes, but is not limited to, a lead screw linear module, a synchronous belt linear module, and a cylinder drive module; for example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first translation part 210 is a lead screw linear module, and the motion is transmitted from the motor to the lead screw of the lead screw linear module through synchronous belt drive. The second translation part 220 is fixed on the nut seat of the first translation part 210. The specific structure and working principle of the lead screw linear module are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0080] It should also be noted that the second translation unit 220 includes, but is not limited to, a lead screw linear module, a synchronous belt linear module, and a cylinder drive module; for example, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the second translation section 220 includes a frame 2201, a lead screw linear module and a synchronous belt drive mechanism disposed in the frame 2201, and the motion is transmitted from the motor to the lead screw of the lead screw linear module through the synchronous belt drive mechanism. The clamp assembly 30 is disposed on the nut seat of the second translation section 220.
[0081] It should also be noted that, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the translation component 20 includes a shielding part 230, which is configured to shield the first translation part 210 and the second translation part 220, and moves along the first direction with the second translation part 220 under the drive of the first translation part 210. By setting the shielding part 230, not only can dust and impurities be reduced from entering the first translation part 210 and the second translation part 220, but it can also play a protective role, preventing the first translation part 210 and the second translation part 220 from being directly exposed, which could cause injury to the user.
[0082] Specifically, the shielding part 230 includes a stand 2301 arranged at intervals along a first direction and located on both sides of the first translation part 210, a belt 2302, a first roller 2303 and a second roller 2304 rotatably mounted on the stand 2301, the first roller 2303 and the second roller 2304 being arranged at intervals in a third direction, and the belt 2302 sequentially passing through the four rollers;
[0083] The top of the frame 2201 is provided with an opening 2202, and the clamp assembly 30 passes through the opening 2202 and is connected to the nut seat inside the frame 2201; wherein, the belt 2302 is provided with a groove, the frame 2201 is located at the groove and connected to the belt 2302, and there is a gap between the clamp assembly 30 and the belt 2302 to avoid dynamic and static interference.
[0084] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the clamp assembly 30 includes a support base 310, a fixed base 320, a first movable clamp head 330, a second movable clamp head 340, a first adjusting part 350, and a second adjusting part 360; the support base 310 is disposed on the translation assembly 20; the fixed base 320 is detachably disposed on the support base 310; the first movable clamp head 330 is movably disposed on one side of the fixed base 320; the second movable clamp head 340 is movably disposed on one side of the fixed base 320, and the second movable clamp head 340 is connected to the first movable clamp head 350. A first movable clamping head 330 is disposed opposite to the first movable clamping head 330 in a third direction; a first adjusting part 350 is disposed on the fixed base 320 and connected to the first movable clamping head 330, and the first adjusting part 350 is configured to drive the first movable clamping head 330 to move in a third direction; a second adjusting part 360 is disposed on the fixed base 320 and connected to the second movable clamping head 340, and the second adjusting part 360 is configured to allow the second movable clamping head 340 to move in a third direction to adjust the distance between the first movable clamping head 330 and the second movable clamping head 340.
[0085] The detachable mounting base 320 allows the user to remove the mounting base 320 from the housing 10 and fix the workpiece to be tested outside the housing 10, making the operation more convenient and faster. The first adjusting part 350 and the second adjusting part 360 respectively drive the first moving clamp head 330 and the second moving clamp head 340 to move in the third direction, so that the distance between the first moving clamp head 330 and the second moving clamp head 340 changes, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece to be tested.
[0086] It should be noted that serrated grooves are provided on the end face of the first moving clamp head 330 near the second moving clamp head 340 and the end face of the second moving clamp head 340 near the first moving clamp head 330, thereby increasing the friction, gripping the soft outer sheath of the wire, and improving the fixing and clamping effect.
[0087] It should also be noted that the first adjustment part 350 and the second adjustment part 360 have the same structure. The first adjustment part 350 includes a transmission screw, a first transmission bevel gear, a second transmission bevel gear, a drive rod, a knob, and a translation seat. The transmission screw is rotatably mounted inside the fixed seat 320 and parallel to a third direction. The first transmission bevel gear is mounted on the transmission screw. The drive rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 320 and parallel to a first direction. The second transmission bevel gear is mounted on the drive rod and meshes with the first bevel gear. The knob is mounted on the drive rod and located outside the fixed seat 320. The translation seat is threadedly connected to the transmission screw. The fixed seat 320 has a groove parallel to a third direction. The translation seat is slidably connected to the groove, and the first movable clamp head 330 is connected to the translation seat. Thus, rotating the knob rotates the second transmission bevel gear, which in turn drives the transmission screw to rotate, causing the translation seat to move up and down in a third direction. The first movable clamp head 330 moves with the translation seat.
[0088] It should also be noted that, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support base 310 is provided with a positioning groove and a clamping groove. The clamping groove is located on both sides of the positioning groove and is connected to the positioning groove. The fixed base 320 is provided with a positioning block. The positioning block is shaped to match the positioning groove to play a positioning role. The clamping assembly 30 also includes a clamping member 370. The clamping member 370 is disposed in the positioning groove and is connected to the support base 310 by a spring. The clamping member 370 abuts against the positioning block, thereby realizing the detachable installation of the fixed base 320 on the support base 310.
[0089] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting and grinding assembly 40 includes a housing 410, a cutting shaft 420, a grinding shaft 430, a drive unit 440, a cutting disc 450, and a grinding disc 460; the housing 410 is disposed inside the housing 10; the cutting shaft 420 is rotatably disposed on the housing 410; the grinding shaft 430 is rotatably disposed on the housing 410, and the grinding shaft 430 and the cutting shaft 420 are spaced apart in a first direction; the drive unit 440 is disposed inside the housing 410, and the drive unit 440 is connected to the cutting shaft 420 and the grinding shaft 430 respectively, and is configured to drive the cutting shaft 420 and the grinding shaft 430 to rotate; the cutting disc 450 is disposed on the cutting shaft 420 and located outside the housing 410; the grinding disc 460 is disposed on the grinding shaft 430 and located outside the housing 410.
[0090] The workpiece to be inspected is cut and ground through the cooperation of the cutting and grinding assembly 40 and the translation assembly 20. Specifically, the translation assembly 20 moves the workpiece to be inspected in a first direction to the side of the cutting disc 450 away from the grinding disc 460; the translation assembly 20 moves the workpiece to be inspected in a second direction so that the pre-cutting point on the workpiece is aligned with the cutting disc 450; the workpiece is then moved in the first direction to be fed to the cutting disc 450 until the cutting is completed; the workpiece is then moved in the second direction to be moved away from the cutting disc 450; in addition, the translation assembly 20 moves the clamping assembly 30 in the first direction to the side of the grinding disc 460 away from the cutting disc 450; the translation assembly 20 moves the clamping assembly 30 in the second direction so that the pre-grinding point on the workpiece is aligned with the grinding disc 460; the workpiece is then moved in the first direction to be fed to the grinding disc 460 until the grinding is completed.
[0091] It should be noted that the drive unit 440 includes a drive motor 4401, a first driven pulley, a second driven pulley, a drive pulley, and a synchronous belt. The drive pulley is mounted on the shaft of the drive motor 4401. The first driven pulley and the second driven pulley are respectively mounted on the cutting shaft 420 and the grinding shaft 430. The synchronous belt is wound around the three pulleys in sequence, thereby driving the cutting shaft 420 and the grinding shaft 430 to rotate.
[0092] It should also be noted that the purpose of cutting and grinding the terminals is to expose the internal state of the terminals in order to observe the duty cycle, interface bonding, etc.
[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the image detection component 50 includes a first detection camera 510 and a second detection camera 520; the optical axis of the first detection camera 510 is parallel to a first direction; and the optical axis of the second detection camera 520 is parallel to a second direction.
[0094] By simultaneously observing the terminals of the workpiece under test in two perpendicular directions using the first inspection camera 510 and the second inspection camera 520, multiple directions of the terminals can be observed at the same time, thereby improving the inspection effect and efficiency and ensuring consistent quality.
[0095] It should be noted that the first detection camera 510 is a zoom camera, and the second detection camera 520 is a positioning camera.
[0096] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a notch 110 is provided on the housing 10, and the integrated wire harness terminal cutting and detection device includes a waste collection assembly 60, wherein the waste collection assembly 60 includes a support frame 610 and a waste collection box 620; the support frame 610 is detachably disposed at the notch 110, and an inspection window 630 is provided on the top of the support frame 610; the waste collection box 620 is disposed on the support frame 610, and the waste collection box 620 is located below the cutting disc 450 and the grinding disc 460.
[0097] A waste collection box 620 is installed below the cutting disc 450 and the grinding disc 460 to collect waste generated during the cutting and grinding process. Simultaneously, an inspection window 630 allows observation of the amount of waste in the waste collection box 620, enabling timely cleaning. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the support frame 610 and the machine housing 10 facilitates cleaning of the waste collection box 620.
[0098] It should be noted that the notch 110 is L-shaped and extends from the top of the housing 10 to the side of the housing 10; the support frame 610 includes a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame that is perpendicularly connected to the first sub-frame.

The second sub-frame is provided with a handle to facilitate pulling out the waste collection box 620; in addition, the support frame 610 can completely close the notch 110 to close the housing 10.
[0099] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 includes an outer shell 120, a partition 130, and a vertical plate 140; an observation window 150 is provided on the top of the outer shell 120; the partition 130 is disposed inside the outer shell 120 and divides the outer shell 120 into a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber and the second chamber being arranged sequentially in a first direction; the vertical plate 140 is disposed in the second chamber, and a detection hole 1401 is provided on the vertical plate 140; wherein, the translation component 20 passes through the partition 130, the cutting and grinding component 40 is disposed in the first chamber, and the first detection camera 510 and the second detection camera 520 are both disposed in the second chamber, the second detection camera 520 and the translation component 20 are respectively located on both sides of the vertical plate 140, and the optical axis of the second detection camera 520 is coaxially arranged with the detection hole 1401.
[0100] By providing a partition 130 inside the housing 120, the housing 120 is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber, so that the cutting and grinding assembly 40 and the image detection device can be relatively independent, avoiding interference between the cutting and grinding steps and the image detection steps; at the same time, the partition 130 provides an installation base for the first detection camera 510.
[0101] It should be noted that a supplementary light 530 is installed at the detection hole 1401 to supplement and optimize the lighting environment and improve the image quality captured by the camera.
[0102] It should also be noted that when the terminal of the component to be inspected is coaxially arranged with the inspection hole 1401 in the first direction and intersects with the optical axis of the first inspection camera 510 in the second direction, this position is the initial position. Before cutting and grinding, the component to be inspected is in the initial position. After cutting and grinding, the component to be inspected returns to the initial position. The end face of the terminal is photographed by the image inspection device to observe the quality of cutting and grinding.
[0103] It should also be noted that the observation window 150 is connected to the housing 10 by a sliding connection. The user can remove the mounting bracket through the observation window 150 to complete the installation of the part to be tested.

[0105] The electrochemical corrosion of the terminals is simulated by the electrochemical corrosion component 70, which accelerates the exposure of potential defects in the terminals and thus assesses the reliability of the terminals. At the same time, the electrochemical corrosion component 70 is integrated with the cutting and grinding component 40 and the image detection component 50, which achieves a high degree of functional integration.
[0106] It should be noted that the electrolytic corrosion assembly 70 includes a power source, an electrolytic cell containing electrolyte, and a cathode connected to the negative terminal of the power source. The terminals can be used as anodes and connected to the positive terminal of the power source through conductive lines. The specific structure and working principle of the electrolytic corrosion assembly 70 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0107] It should also be noted that the housing 10 also includes a baffle 160, which is disposed in the first chamber. Thus, the baffle 160 and the cutting and grinding assembly 40 together divide the first chamber into two relatively independent spaces, and the electrolytic etching assembly 70 and the translation assembly 20 are located in the two spaces respectively. The baffle 160 is provided with a through hole 1601 for conductive lines to pass through.
[0108] It should also be noted that a worktable 170 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 10.
[0109] It should also be noted that after the electrolytic corrosion is completed, the part to be tested is returned to its initial position, and a cross-sectional photograph of the terminal is taken using an image inspection device to observe the condition of the terminal.
[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the integrated device for cutting and detecting wire harness terminals includes a control board 80 and a host computer 90; the control board 80 is disposed inside the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the translation component 20, the cutting and grinding component 40, the image detection component 50, and the electrolytic etching component 70 respectively; the host computer 90 is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the control board 80.
[0111] The operation of the translation component 20, the cutting and grinding component 40, the image detection component 50, and the electrolytic corrosion component 70 can be controlled by the host computer 90 and the control board 80. The images captured by the image detection component 50 can be displayed on the host computer 90 to facilitate users to magnify and observe the cross-section of the terminal and to perform related measurements such as the number of wires, total surface area, and duty cycle.
[0112] It should be noted that the control board 80 is a PCB board; in addition, the connection method between the host computer 90 and the PCB board, as well as the specific working methods of the control translation component 20, the cutting and grinding component 40, the image detection component 50 and the electrolytic etching component 70, are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.
