Traditionally, labeling sensor harnesses involves manually picking them up and placing them under a labeling machine, which then applies the label. This method is inefficient and cannot guarantee precise label placement.
[0003] Therefore, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0016] Please see the appendix Figure 1-7 An automatic wire harness sorting and labeling machine for sensor wire harnesses includes a workbench 1, an automatic wire sorting mechanism, a labeling mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a moving mechanism. The automatic wire sorting mechanism is located on one side of the top of the workbench 1, the labeling mechanism is located on the workbench 1, the moving mechanism is located on the top of the workbench 1 near the automatic wire sorting mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is located on the moving mechanism. The automatic cable management mechanism includes a first support frame 2, a first motor 3, a feeding box 4, a missing gear 5, a full gear 6, an outer frame 7, a rotating wheel 8, and a feeding guide groove 9. The feeding box 4 is mounted on the first support frame 2, the first motor 3 is mounted on the first support frame 2, the outer frame 7 is mounted at the bottom of the feeding box 4, the rotating wheel 8 is rotatably mounted inside the outer frame 7, and the surface of the rotating wheel 8 is evenly spaced with several rectangular grooves. The missing gear 5 is mounted on the output end of the first motor 3, the full gear 6 is mounted on the rotating wheel 8, and the feeding guide groove 9 is mounted at the bottom of the outer frame 7.
[0017] Using the above technical solution, workbench 1 serves as the support platform for the entire equipment, providing a stable installation foundation for other mechanisms. The automatic cable management mechanism is located on one side of the top of workbench 1, responsible for organizing the messy sensor cable bundles into an orderly state, preparing them for subsequent labeling operations. The labeling mechanism is used to affix labels to the organized cable bundles. The moving mechanism can drive the clamping mechanism to move, so as to move the cable bundle from the automatic cable management mechanism to the labeling mechanism. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the cable bundle, ensuring the stability of the cable bundle's position during movement and labeling. The feeding box 4 is used to store the sensor wire harnesses to be sorted. The first motor 3 serves as the power source. When the first motor 3 starts, it drives the missing gear 5 set on its output end to rotate. Since the full gear 6 is set on the rotating wheel 8, when the missing gear 5 and the full gear 6 mesh with each other, the rotation of the missing gear 5 will drive the full gear 6 to rotate intermittently, which in turn causes the rotating wheel 8 to rotate intermittently. When the rotating wheel 8 is stationary, the wire harness in the feeding box 4 will fall into the rectangular groove on the surface of the rotating wheel 8. As the rotating wheel 8 rotates, the rectangular groove drives the wire harness to rotate together. When the wire harness rotates to the position of the feeding guide groove 9, due to gravity and the guiding effect of the feeding guide groove 9, the wire harness will slide out from the rectangular groove and be discharged in an orderly manner along the feeding guide groove 9, thus completing the sorting of the wire harness.
[0018] The labeling mechanism includes a rodless cylinder 10, a first slider 11, a second slider 12, a second motor 13, a threaded rod 14, a first cylinder 15, a connecting plate 16, a first clamping plate 17, a second cylinder 18, and a second clamping plate 19. The rodless cylinder 10 is located on the top of the workbench 1. The first slider 11 is located on the rodless cylinder 10. The two second sliders 12 are slidably located on the first slider 11. The second motor 13 is located on the first slider 11. The threaded rod 14 is located on the output end of the second motor 13. The threads on the left and right sides of the threaded rod 14 are arranged in opposite directions. The threaded rod 14 is rotatably connected to the two second sliders 12. The first cylinders 15 are all located at the bottom of the second sliders 12. The connecting plates 16 are all located at the output ends of the first cylinders 15. The first clamping plate 17 and the second cylinder 18 are all located at the bottom of the connecting plate 16. The second clamping plate 19 is all located on the second cylinder 18.
[0019] Using the above technical solution, during labeling, the rodless cylinder 10 is controlled to move the first slider 11 and its components to the position of the label to be applied, so that the label is located between the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 19. Then, the second cylinder 18 is controlled to move the second clamping plate 19 upward, so that the second clamping plate 19 fits with the first clamping plate 17, thereby clamping both ends of the label. Then, the rodless cylinder 10 is controlled again to move the first slider 11 and its components in the opposite direction to reset. When the clamping mechanism and the moving mechanism work together to move the wire harness on the clamping mechanism to the position below the labeling mechanism, the first cylinder 15 is controlled, causing the connecting plate 16 and its components to move downwards. In this way, the clamped label moves downwards and contacts and adheres to the top and both sides of the wire harness. Then, the second motor 13 is controlled to work, and the second motor 13 drives the threaded rod 14 to rotate. Since the threads on the left and right sides of the threaded rod 14 are set in opposite directions, the second sliders 12 on both sides will move relative to each other and release the second clamping plate 19, so that the bottom ends of the label adhere to each other. In this way, the label can be affixed to the wire harness, completing the labeling operation.
[0020] The clamping mechanism includes a support plate 20, a third cylinder 21, an L-shaped clamping plate 22, and a support plate 23. The support plate 20 is respectively disposed on both sides of the moving mechanism. The third cylinder 21 is disposed on the support plate 20. The L-shaped clamping plate 22 is disposed on the output end of the third cylinder 21. The support plate 23 is connected between the L-shaped clamping plates 22 on both sides.
[0021] Using the above technical solution, when the third cylinder 21 is started, it will drive the L-shaped clamping plate 22 to move horizontally. The support plate 23 is connected between the L-shaped clamping plates 22 on both sides to support the middle part of the wire harness. When clamping the wire harness, the third cylinder 21 is started at the same time, pushing the L-shaped clamping plates 22 on both sides to move towards the middle. By adjusting the distance between the L-shaped clamping plate 22 and the support plate 20, the wire harness placed on the support plate 23 is clamped. Since the clamping mechanism is set on the moving mechanism, when the moving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to move, the clamped wire harness will also move accordingly, ensuring that the wire harness is stable in position during the movement, which is convenient for subsequent labeling operations.
[0022] The moving mechanism includes a slide rail 24, a third slider 25, and a fourth cylinder 26. The slide rail 24 is symmetrically arranged on the worktable 1. The third sliders 25 are all slidably arranged inside the slide rail 24. The support plate 20 is connected to the third sliders 25. The bottom of the L-shaped clamp 22 contacts the top of the third sliders 25. The fourth cylinder 26 is arranged on the worktable 1 and is connected to the support plate 23.
[0023] Using the above technical solution, the bottom of the L-shaped clamp 22 contacts the top of the third slider 25, ensuring the stability of the clamping mechanism during movement. When the wire harness needs to be moved, the fourth cylinder 26 is activated, pushing the support plate 23 to move. The support plate 23 drives the L-shaped clamp 22 and the support plate 20 to move together, thereby moving the wire harness clamped between the L-shaped clamp 22 from the automatic wire sorting mechanism to the labeling mechanism, realizing the transfer of the wire harness between different workstations.
[0024] The outer frame 7 is cylindrical and hollow inside. It connects to both the unloading box 4 and the unloading guide trough 9. The wire harnesses inside the unloading box 4 can smoothly enter the outer frame 7. Then, guided by the rotation of the rotating wheel 8 and the rectangular groove, the wire harnesses are orderly conveyed to the unloading guide trough 9 and finally discharged from the outer frame 7. The cylindrical structure of the outer frame 7 ensures that the wire harnesses will not get stuck or deviate from the track during their descent, guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of wire harness handling.
[0025] The outer diameter of the rotating wheel 8 is the same as the inner diameter of the outer frame 7. This ensures that the rotating wheel 8 can rotate smoothly within the outer frame 7 and forms a good seal and fit with it. When the rotating wheel 8 rotates, the rectangular groove on its surface accurately fits against the inner wall of the outer frame 7, preventing the wire harness from falling out of the gap between the rotating wheel 8 and the outer frame 7 or getting stuck during rotation. Simultaneously, the identical dimensional relationship also ensures the stability of the rotating wheel 8 during rotation, allowing the wire harness to fall from the feed box 4 into the rectangular groove along a predetermined trajectory, and then slide from the rectangular groove into the feed guide groove 9, achieving precise control of the wire harness handling process.
[0026] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope.
