Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness assembly and production technology, and in particular to a sleeve device, sleeve equipment and wire harness assembly production line based on wire core gathering. Background Technology
[0002] In the wire harness assembly process, after completing the main body sleeve, core sleeve, and terminal crimping, the insulating tube of the main body needs to be reset and heated to fix it in a predetermined position between the main body and the core segments. However, before moving the insulating tube to the predetermined position, the core segments of the wire harness are in a flat and dispersed state because they need to be fitted with number tubes and crimped with terminals in the previous process. At the junction of the core segments and the main body, some core segments have an excessively large angle with the main body. This dispersed state causes the insulating tube to encounter significant resistance during movement, especially at the junction of the core segments and the main body. Due to the excessively large dispersion angle of the core segments, the insulating tube is prone to accumulation and deformation at this position, making it difficult to move smoothly to the predetermined position. This not only affects the positioning accuracy of the insulating tube but may also cause uneven shrinkage of the insulating tube during subsequent heating, affecting the insulation performance and mechanical strength of the wire harness. Furthermore, the existing technology lacks an effective core gathering mechanism, and operators often need to manually adjust the core position, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of core gathering, severely restricting the automation level and production efficiency of wire harness assembly.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 This utility model embodiment provides a sleeve device based on core gathering, wherein, as Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a casing device 600 that uses the above-described casing device.
[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sleeve device includes a clamping mechanism 100 for clamping the wire harness body 1 and the sleeved section 2; a gathering mechanism 200, disposed on one side of the clamping mechanism 100, including a first support 210, a gathering block 220 and a first driving member 230, the two gathering blocks 220 being arranged opposite each other to form a wire-holding cavity, and the opening and closing of the gathering blocks 220 being controlled by the driving member; and a sleeve mechanism 400, disposed between the clamping mechanism 100 and the gathering mechanism 200, for moving the insulating tube to a predetermined position.
[0054] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 100 is a device that fixes the main body 1 of the wire harness or the sleeved section 2 using mechanical grippers or pneumatic clamps. Stable clamping can be achieved using clamping blocks with a rubber anti-slip layer to prevent displacement of the wire harness during operation. The connection between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210 in the gathering mechanism 200 includes a hinged or sliding connection. The wire-holding cavity refers to the constraint space formed when the two gathering blocks 220 are closed, and its inner wall can be provided with guide grooves to guide the wire core section 3 to gather.
[0055] Understandably, after the clamping mechanism 100 fixes the wire harness body 1, the first driving member 230 of the gathering mechanism 200 drives the two gathering blocks 220 to close and form a wire-holding cavity, forcibly gathering the dispersed wire core segments 3 into a bundle. At this time, the included angle at the junction of the wire core segment 3 and the wire harness body 1 is eliminated, forming a straight transition area. The sleeve mechanism 400 pushes the insulating tube along the surface of the gathered wire core segment 3, and the insulating tube moves to the preset position without wrinkles. After positioning is completed, the gathering block 220 opens to release the wire core segment 3, and the insulating tube is heated and shrunk to fix at the junction of the wire harness body 1 and the wire core segment 3.
[0056] Beneficially, this application utilizes an openable and closable gathering block 220 to actively constrain the core segment 3, adapting to wire harnesses of different diameters while avoiding positioning errors caused by manual intervention. Compared to a fixed guide structure, the dynamic wire-holding cavity can intervene immediately after the core sleeve process, achieving seamless connection between processes. This effectively eliminates the angle at the junction caused by the dispersion of the core segment 3, providing a smooth path for the movement of the insulating tube and preventing the accumulation of insulating tubes. The coordinated operation of the core gathering and the insulating tube pushing action ensures that the insulating tube is accurately reset to the preset position, significantly improving the pass rate and production efficiency of wire harness assembly.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the gathering block 220 is hinged to the first support 210.
[0058] A first embodiment of the connection method between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. The gathering block 220 is hinged to the first support 210, and two first driving members 230 are respectively connected to the two gathering blocks 220. The first driving members 230 can drive the gathering blocks 220 to rotate, so as to open or close the wire-holding cavity.
[0059] It is understood that the gathering block 220 and the first support 210 are rotatably connected by a hinge or a pivot, specifically by a pin and bearing structure, so that the gathering block 220 can rotate around a fixed axis. The first drive member 230 converts the rotational motion of the output shaft into the angular displacement of the gathering block 220, so as to precisely control the rotation angle of the gathering block 220.
[0060] That is, the two gathering blocks 220 are independently driven to rotate around the hinge point, forming a gradually shrinking wire-holding cavity. By adjusting the rotation angle, it can adapt to different degrees of wire core segment 3 dispersion. In particular, when the wire core segment 3 is dispersed on one side, the displacement of the corresponding gathering block 220 can be adjusted separately to avoid excessive compression of the wire core.
[0061] Beneficially, this application, through dual-drive independent control, can actively adapt to the spatial distribution of the wire core segment 3, providing progressive convergence in rotation mode. This solves the problem that rigid clamps can easily cause wire core deformation or insufficient clamping. Before the insulating tube moves, the wire core segment 3 is precisely constrained into a regular bundle shape, eliminating excessive angles between the wire core and the main body 1 of the wire harness. This avoids local accumulation caused by irregular distribution of the wire core when the insulating tube moves, ensuring that the insulating tube accurately reaches the preset position and improving the qualification rate of wire harness assembly.
[0062] like Figure 3The diagram shows a second embodiment of the connection between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. The gathering block 220 is hinged to the first support 210. The first driving member 230 is connected to the gathering block 220 via a gear and rack mechanism. The transmission mechanism 500 includes a transmission gear 510, a first rack 520, and a second rack 530 mounted on the gathering block 220. Both the first rack 520 and the second rack 530 are connected to the output end of the first driving member 230. One of the two gathering blocks 220 is connected to the first rack 520 via the transmission gear 510, and the other of the two gathering blocks 220 is connected to the second rack 530 via the transmission gear 510. The first driving member 230 is a reversible motor.
[0063] Understandably, when the reversible motor starts, the output shaft drives the first rack 520 and the second rack 530 to move linearly in opposite directions. The transmission gear 510 meshing with the first rack 520 drives the corresponding gathering block 220 to rotate clockwise, while the transmission gear 510 meshing with the second rack 530 drives the other gathering block 220 to rotate counterclockwise. The two gathering blocks 220 form a symmetrical opening and closing motion around the hinge point, and the closing process of the wire-holding cavity ensures that the dispersed wire core segments 3 are uniformly constrained within the symmetrical clamping area. During the movement of the insulating tube, the clamping forces on both sides of the wire core segment 3 remain balanced, avoiding wire core displacement or insulating tube accumulation caused by unilateral force.
[0064] Beneficially, this solution utilizes a rack and pinion forced synchronization mechanism to ensure the complete symmetry of the movement trajectories of the two gathering blocks 220, eliminating the clamping force imbalance caused by asynchronous motion. Simultaneously, the closed-loop control characteristics of the forward and reverse motors can precisely adjust the opening and closing angles of the gathering blocks 220, avoiding positioning errors caused by air pressure fluctuations. This achieves symmetrical force constraint on the core segment 3 during the gathering process, effectively preventing clamping failure due to core dispersion when the insulating tube moves. The uniform force distribution on the contact surface between the core segment 3 and the insulating tube avoids deformation or displacement of the insulating tube caused by localized stress concentration, significantly improving the stability and yield of the wire harness assembly process.
[0065] As shown in the figure, this is a third embodiment of the connection method between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. The gathering block 220 and the first support 210 are hinged. The first driving member 230 is connected to the gathering block 220 via a gear and rack mechanism. The transmission mechanism 500 includes a transmission gear 510 disposed on the gathering block 220 and a transmission module 540. The transmission module 540 is two single-tooth-faced racks or double-tooth-faced racks. The transmission gears 510 are connected to each other. The transmission module 540 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 230. The first driving member 230 can drive the transmission module 540 to reciprocate linearly to open or close the wire-holding cavity. The first driving member 230 is a cylinder.
[0066] Understandably, when the cylinder starts, its output pushes the transmission module 540 to move in a linear direction. The rack on the transmission module 540 meshes with the transmission gear 510 on the gathering block 220, converting the linear motion into gear rotation. If a double-toothed rack is used, the gears of the two gathering blocks 220 mesh with the two sides of the same rack, allowing the unidirectional movement of the cylinder to simultaneously drive the two gathering blocks 220 to rotate in opposite directions, thus achieving symmetrical opening and closing of the wire-holding cavity. By adjusting the cylinder's stroke and air pressure parameters, the closing speed and clamping force of the wire-holding cavity can be controlled to adapt to the gathering requirements of different wire core diameters.
[0067] Beneficially, this application simplifies the mechanical structure through direct gear and rack transmission, while utilizing a double-toothed rack to achieve bidirectional synchronous drive, avoiding the deviation of the wire core caused by unilateral force. Furthermore, the cylinder, as a drive source, offers higher response speed and output stability compared to a motor, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring rapid closure. This enables rapid and symmetrical convergence of wire core segment 3, effectively solving the problem of obstructed movement of the insulating tube caused by dispersed wire cores. The gear and rack transmission ensures the synchronization and precision of the convergence action, while the cylinder drive improves the action response speed and output controllability, thus providing a flat wire harness foundation for accurate positioning of the subsequent insulating tube, improving the efficiency and quality of wire harness assembly.
[0068] As shown in the figure, this is the fourth embodiment of the connection method between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. Specifically, one end of the gathering block 220 is fixedly connected to the connector 240, and the connector 240 is hinged to the first support 210. One end of the connector 240 is connected to a connecting rod 260, the connecting end is fixedly connected to the connector 240, and the other end is hinged to the movable part. The output end of the first driving member 230 is connected to the movable part.
[0069] Understandably, when the first driving member 230 drives the movable member to move downward, the connecting member 240 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge point, thereby causing the gathering block 220 to flip and unfold, thus opening the wire-holding cavity; conversely, when the first driving member 230 drives the movable member to move upward, the connecting member 240 rotates clockwise around the hinge point, thereby causing the gathering block 220 to flip and unfold, thus closing the wire-holding cavity.
[0070] Preferably, both connecting rods 260 are hinged to the same moving part, so that one driving power source can drive the two gathering blocks 220 to move, so that the two gathering blocks 220 can rotate synchronously, and also improve the compactness of the equipment and reduce space occupation.
[0071] Preferably, the flip angle of the gathering block 220 is 0° to 90°, that is, it can be understood that when both gathering blocks 220 are hinged to the first support 210, the maximum opening and closing angle of the wire-holding cavity is 180°.
[0072] Understandably, when the insulation tube is difficult to move due to the dispersion of the wire core segment 3, the driving component rotates the gathering block 220, closing the wire-holding cavity to 0°, forcibly gathering the wire core within the cavity, eliminating the excessive angle between the wire core and the main body 1 of the wire harness. After gathering, the insulation tube can move along the gathered wire core segment 3 to a preset position. If it is necessary to adjust the position of the wire core segment 3 or release the wire core, the driving component unfolds the gathering block 220, opening the wire-holding cavity to 180°, providing sufficient operating space. By limiting the opening and closing angle range, damage to the wire core due to excessively small angles is avoided, while structural interference or insufficient operating space due to excessively large angles is prevented. This optimizes the effectiveness and operational flexibility of the gathering action, ensuring that the angle at the junction of the wire core segment 3 and the main body 1 remains controllable. It solves the problem of accumulation caused by the dispersion of the wire core during the movement of the insulation tube, enabling the insulation tube to move accurately to the preset position, avoiding wrinkles or displacement of the insulation tube caused by the dispersion of the wire core, and improving the reliability and efficiency of wire harness assembly.
[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the gathering block 220 is slidably connected to the first support 210.
[0074] As shown in the figure, this is the fifth embodiment of the connection method between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. The first driving member 230 can drive the gathering block 220 to reciprocate linearly to open or close the wire-holding cavity.
[0075] Understandably, the gathering block 220 and the first support 210 are slidably connected through the cooperation of a guide rail and a slider. Specifically, the first support 210 is provided with a guide rail, and the gathering block 220 is provided with a slider. The output end of the first driving member 230 is connected to the gathering block 220 or the slider. That is, the first driving member 230 pushes the gathering block 220 to translate, and the gathering block 220 translates along the linear guide rail, directly changing the radial dimension of the wire-holding cavity to achieve rapid clamping.
[0076] In some embodiments, two first drive members 230 may be provided. Each first drive member 230 is a single-output cylinder, and the two first drive members 230 are independently connected to the two gathering blocks 220 respectively. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first drive member 230 is a dual-output cylinder, which can drive the two gathering blocks 220 to move simultaneously through a single drive member.
[0077] That is, when the core segment 3 is in a dispersed state, the first driving member 230 pushes the movable gathering block 220 to move along the guide rail toward the fixed gathering block 220. The working surfaces of the two gathering blocks 220 remain parallel and aligned during the closing process, forming a wire-holding cavity with a regular geometric shape. The core segment 3 is constrained in the closed wire-holding cavity to form a concentrated bundle structure. At this time, the sleeve mechanism 400 can smoothly push the insulating tube along the gathered core segment 3 to a preset position. After the sleeve operation is completed, the first driving member 230 moves in the opposite direction to reset the movable gathering block 220, and the wire-holding cavity opens to release the core segment 3.
[0078] Beneficially, this application uses a linear sliding structure to keep the working surface of the gathering block 220 parallel and aligned at all times, forming a uniform distribution of constraint force during the closing process. This avoids damage to the wire core while ensuring the regularity of the gathering shape, solving the problem of inaccurate positioning of the insulating tube due to the dispersion of the wire core segment 3. The linear sliding mechanism enables precise opening and closing control of the gathering block 220, allowing the insulating tube to move smoothly to the preset position along the regularly gathered wire core segment 3, improving the positioning accuracy and work efficiency of the sleeve, while adapting to the processing needs of different wire diameter specifications.
[0079] According to some embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG1, a connector 240 is provided between the gathering block 220 and the first support 210. One end of the connector 240 is movably connected to the first support 210, and the other end is detachably connected to the gathering block 220.
[0080] Understandably, the connector 240 is connected to the support via a hinge, allowing the gathering block 220 to rotate freely around the hinge axis. When the dispersion angle of the wire core segment 3 is abnormal, the gathering block 220 can adaptively adjust the clamping angle of the wire-holding cavity. The connector 240 and the gathering block 220 can be fixed together with bolts. When the surface of the gathering block 220 wears due to long-term clamping, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced. Alternatively, when processing wire cores of different diameters, the closing size of the wire-holding cavity can be matched with the diameter of the wire core segment 3 by replacing the gathering block 220 assembly with one having the corresponding gathering groove size.
[0081] Beneficially, this application enables the gathering block 220 to have self-adjusting capability through an active connection structure, and achieves modular maintenance through detachable connection, effectively reducing equipment downtime, solving the problem of wire core gathering deviation caused by the non-adjustable connection structure between the gathering block 220 and the support, avoiding wire core clamping failure caused by wear or mismatch of specifications of the gathering block 220, shortening maintenance operation time, and improving the stability of the wire harness assembly process and equipment utilization.
[0082] As a further optimization of the solution, a gathering groove is provided in the gathering block 220. Specifically, the gathering groove is arranged on the same side as the wire-holding cavity and has an opening that allows the wire core segment 3 to enter and exit. It can be understood that the gathering groove refers to a guide channel extending along the inner surface of the gathering block 220, which can be a V-shaped or U-shaped groove, used to guide the dispersed wire core segment 3 to be bundled along a predetermined path when the wire-holding cavity is closed.
[0083] Understandably, when the gathering block 220 is closed by the drive component, the free end of the wire core segment 3 enters the gathering groove through the opening, and the groove wall forms a lateral constraint on the wire core, forcing the dispersed wire cores to align along the axial direction of the groove.
[0084] Furthermore, a guide can be provided at the opening of the gathering groove so that the wire core will not rigidly collide with the edge of the groove when it enters the groove, and the wire core segment 3 is allowed to slide naturally into the groove without manual intervention during the closing process of the gathering block 220.
[0085] As a further optimization of the solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gathering mechanism 200 also includes a wire support 250, which is disposed on the same side as the free end of the wire core segment 3. The wire support 250 is used to support the free end of the wire core segment 3.
[0086] Specifically, the wire support 250 is a support structure with a flat or curved support surface, which restricts the displacement of the free end of the wire core segment 3 through physical contact, preventing it from sagging under the action of gravity.
[0087] Understandably, when the core segment 3 is in a flat and dispersed state, the wire support 250 reaches directly below the free end of the core segment 3 through lifting or translating. The free end of the core segment 3 is supported by the wire support 250 under the action of gravity. During the convergence of the core segment 3 and the movement of the insulating tube, the wire support 250 continuously provides support force to counteract the swaying tendency of the core segment 3 caused by external force, so that the included angle between the core segment 3 and the main body of the wire harness 1 is kept within the allowable range.
[0088] Optionally, the cable tray 250 can be a detachable modular structure, which facilitates the replacement of cable trays 250 of different widths according to the number of wire segments 3.
[0089] Beneficially, this application achieves automatic support through a mechanized wire support 250, eliminating errors caused by manual intervention. It also prevents instability in the wire core segment 3 due to lack of support, effectively preventing the free end of the wire core segment 3 from drooping or swinging during the movement of the insulating tube, ensuring the spatial stability of the wire core segment 3 after it is gathered. The relative positional relationship between the wire core segment 3 and the main body 1 of the wire harness is precisely constrained, allowing the insulating tube to move smoothly along a predetermined path to a preset position. This avoids tube accumulation or displacement caused by the dispersion of the wire core segment 3, improving the yield rate and automation level of the sleeve process.
[0090] As a further optimization of the solution, both the first support 210 and the cable support 250 are connected to a lifting module, which can drive the first support 210 and the cable support 250 to adjust their positions in the longitudinal direction.
[0091] Understandably, when handling wire harness bodies 1 of different diameters, the lifting module of the first support 210 drives the gathering mechanism 200 to rise or fall as a whole, aligning the central axis of the wire-holding cavity with the axis of the wire harness body 1, ensuring that the gathering block 220 can effectively gather the wire core segment 3. The lifting module of the wire support 250 adjusts the support height according to the length of the wire core segment 3. When the wire core segment 3 is long, the wire support 250 is raised to reduce the free end overhang; when the wire core segment 3 is short, the wire support 250 is lowered to avoid interference with the gathering mechanism 200. During the movement of the insulating tube, the first support 210 and the wire support 250 maintain the gathered state of the wire core segment 3 through coordinated lifting, preventing the wire core from detaching from the wire-holding cavity or the wire support 250 due to height misalignment.
[0092] Beneficially, this application, through independent control of the lifting module, enables the gathering mechanism 200 and the wire support 250 to dynamically adjust their heights according to actual working conditions. This solves the problem of obstructed movement of the insulating tube due to the dispersion of the wire core segment 3, and avoids the accumulation of the insulating tube at the junction of the wire harness body 1 and the wire core segment 3. Through longitudinal position adjustment, the contact angle between the gathering block 220 and the wire core segment 3 is always within the optimal range. Simultaneously, the height matching of the wire support 250 eliminates the risk of secondary dispersion caused by the drooping of the free end of the wire core due to gravity. This allows for assembly requirements of different wire core lengths, wire harness diameters, and insulating tube specifications, significantly improving the compatibility and operational efficiency of the wire harness sleeve process.
[0093] As a further optimization of the solution, both the first support 210 and the wire support 250 are connected to a translation module. The translation module can move the first support 210 and the wire support 250 away from or closer to the sleeve mechanism 400. The translation module moves the first support 210 and the wire support 250 horizontally, adjusting the distance from the sleeve mechanism 400 to accommodate wire harnesses of different lengths and ensure accurate sleeve positioning.
[0094] In some other embodiments of this application, as shown in the figure, the sleeve mechanism 400 includes a second driving member 410 and a rubbing plate 420. The rubbing plate 420 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 410. The two opposing rubbing plates 420 form a rubbing cavity, and the sleeved section 2 of the wire harness can enter the rubbing cavity. Specifically, the second driving member 410 drives the rubbing plate 420 to reciprocate up and down in the vertical direction. The two rubbing plates 420 move in opposite directions to repeat the reciprocating relative linear motion. The alternating reciprocating motion applies a tangential force to the insulating tube to drive the insulating tube and the wire harness body 1 to rotate relative to each other. At the same time, the moving module drives the sleeve mechanism 400 to move towards the gathering mechanism 200, so that the insulating tube and the wire harness body 11 produce relative linear motion based on the axial extension direction of the wire harness body 1, so that the insulating tube gradually moves to a predetermined position along the axial extension direction of the wire harness body 1 during the rotation. After the insulating tube is moved to the predetermined position, the heating mechanism heats the insulating tube, fixing it at the junction of the wire core segment 3 and the wire harness body 1.
[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a sleeve device 600 that utilizes the aforementioned sleeve apparatus. Specifically, the sleeve device 600 is equipped with a dual-station configuration to simultaneously perform sleeve processing on the ends of the same wire harness, or to simultaneously perform sleeve processing on the ends of two wire harnesses, effectively improving the degree of automation and production efficiency.
[0096] This application also provides a wire harness assembly line, which automates the entire wire harness processing process by applying the aforementioned sleeve device or sleeve equipment 600.
