Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of forklift wiring harness manufacturing, and in particular to a wiring harness storage mechanism for forklift wiring harness manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of forklift wiring harnesses, harness storage is a crucial step in ensuring orderly production and harness quality. Currently, during forklift wiring harness production, the common practice is to temporarily store the harnesses on storage racks. Existing storage racks are mostly simple frame structures with limited storage space. In actual production, with the increase in wiring harness output and the production of harnesses of different specifications, the limited storage space often fails to meet the demand, frequently resulting in harness accumulation.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing storage racks lack effective wiring harness positioning measures. Because precise positioning of the wiring harnesses is impossible, they easily slide and shift during stacking. This leads to different harnesses becoming tangled and clustering together. Once tangled or clustered, the harnesses not only appear messy but also increase the difficulty for staff to organize and distinguish them during subsequent use, wasting considerable time and effort. Furthermore, excessively tight winding can cause damage to the harness sheath and internal wiring breakage during forced untangling, affecting the normal use of the harnesses and the performance of the forklift, thus negatively impacting the overall forklift production schedule and quality.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that existing wire harness storage racks have the drawback of making it difficult to position wire harnesses when placing them. Therefore, they have proposed a wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that existing wire harness storage racks are inconvenient for positioning wire harnesses, this application provides a wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production.

[0006] The forklift wiring harness storage mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production includes a wire harness storage rack. The rack has directional wheels on both sides of its bottom end. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rack in parallel. Several support members are symmetrically welded to the front and rear ends of the outer surface of the fixed frame. A fixing clip is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each support member. A connecting shaft is hinged to one side of each fixing clip. A movable clip is installed in the middle of the outer surface of the connecting shaft. Several mounting slots are formed at the mating ends of the fixing clip and the movable clip. A support block is installed inside each mounting slot. One end of each support block extends to the outside of the mounting slot and is fixedly connected to a wire harness sleeve. A snap-fit ​​mechanism is also provided on the outer surfaces of the movable clip and the mounting slot to fix the movable clip and the mounting slot to each other.

[0008] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a fixed locking groove, which is opened through the movable locking piece and the mounting groove on one side. The front and rear ends of the movable locking piece and the mounting groove are locked with a limiting plate near the fixed locking groove. A limiting block is fixedly installed on one end of the inner wall of the limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, an elastic protrusion is symmetrically welded to the middle of one end of the inner wall of the mounting groove, and a limiting groove is symmetrically formed in the middle of one end of the support block. The elastic protrusion is located inside the limiting groove, and the elastic protrusion and the limiting groove engage with each other.

[0010] Preferably, limit bolts are movably installed at both the upper and lower ends of one side of the limiting plate, and threaded grooves are symmetrically opened on one side of the movable clamp and the mounting groove opposite to the connecting shaft. The limit bolt passes through the limiting plate and is threaded into the threaded groove.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed slot has an L-shaped cross-section, and the upper and lower ends of the limiting block are respectively placed inside the movable card and the mounting slot, and the limiting block and the fixed slot engage with each other.

[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] By incorporating fixed clips, movable clips, mounting slots, support blocks, and wire harness sleeves, the position of the movable clips can be adjusted according to the wire harness specifications. The wire harness sleeves provide precise positioning, preventing the wire harnesses from tangling or clustering. The engagement mechanism, including the limiting plate, limiting block, and limiting bolts, securely fixes the movable and fixed clips, ensuring the stability of the storage mechanism. The engagement of the elastic protrusion and the limiting groove further enhances the stability of the support block within the mounting slot. Compared to existing technologies, this solution effectively solves the wire harness positioning problem, improves the orderliness and convenience of wire harness storage, reduces the difficulty of subsequent wire harness organization, and ensures the smooth production and quality of forklift wire harnesses.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] This application discloses a wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 A wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production includes a wire harness storage rack 1. The bottom two sides of the wire harness storage rack 1 are equipped with directional wheels 2. A fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the wire harness storage rack 1 in parallel. Several support members 4 are symmetrically welded to the front and rear ends of the outer surface of the fixed frame 3. A fixing clip 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support member 4. A connecting shaft 6 is hinged to one side of the fixing clip 5. A movable clip 7 is installed in the middle of the outer surface of the connecting shaft 6. The fixed clip 5 and the movable clip 7 are connected at one end. The device is provided with several mounting slots 8, and a support block 9 is installed inside the mounting slot 8. One end of the support block 9 extends to the outside of the mounting slot 8 and is fixedly connected to a wire harness sleeve 10. One end of the inner wall of the mounting slot 8 is symmetrically welded with elastic protrusions 11. One end of the support block 9 is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 12. The elastic protrusions 11 are located inside the limiting grooves 12. The elastic protrusions 11 and the limiting grooves 12 are engaged with each other. The movable clip 7 and the outer surface of the mounting slot 8 are also provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism for fixing the movable clip 7 and the mounting slot 8 to each other.

[0020] By adjusting the position of the movable clip 7 according to the wire harness specifications via the connecting shaft 6, the wire harness is placed inside the wire harness sleeve 10. Then, the limiting plate 14 is inserted into the fixing slot 13, and the limiting bolt 16 is tightened to fix the movable clip 7 and the fixing clip 5, thus completing the wire harness positioning and storage.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The locking mechanism includes a fixed locking groove 13, which is opened through the movable locking piece 7 and the mounting groove 8 on one side. The front and rear ends of the movable locking piece 7 and the mounting groove 8 are locked with a limiting plate 14 near the fixed locking groove 13. A limiting block 15 is fixedly installed on one end of the inner wall of the limiting plate 14. Limiting bolts 16 are movably installed on both the upper and lower ends of one side of the limiting plate 14. Threaded grooves are symmetrically opened on one side of the movable locking piece 7 and the mounting groove 8 opposite to the connecting shaft 6. The limiting bolts 16 pass through the limiting plate 14 and are threaded into the threaded grooves. The fixed locking groove 13 has an L-shaped cross-section. The upper and lower ends of the limiting block 15 are respectively placed inside the movable locking piece 7 and the mounting groove 8. The limiting block 15 and the fixed locking groove 13 are locked together.

[0022] By aligning and engaging the limiting plate 14 with the fixed slot 13 on the movable clip 7 and the mounting groove 8, the limiting block 15 is embedded in the fixed slot 13. Then, rotate the limiting bolt 16 so that it passes through the limiting plate 14 and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the movable clip 7 and the mounting groove 8. Tighten the limiting bolt 16 to securely fix the movable clip 7 and the fixed clip 5 with the limiting plate 14.

[0023] The implementation principle of the wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production in this application embodiment is as follows: When the wire harness storage mechanism for forklift wire harness production is working, it first adjusts the angle and distance between the movable clamp 7 and the fixed clamp 5 by rotating the movable clamp 7 through the connecting shaft 6 according to the specifications of the wire harness to be stored, so that the position and space of the wire harness sleeve 10 are adapted to the wire harness.

[0024] Then, place the forklift wiring harness inside the wiring harness sleeve 10 and use the wiring harness sleeve 10 to initially position the wiring harness and prevent it from sliding randomly.

[0025] Next, the fixing operation is performed. Align the limiting plate 14 with the fixed slot 13 on the movable clip 7 and the mounting groove 8 and snap it in. At this time, the limiting block 15 is embedded in the fixed slot 13. Then rotate the limiting bolt 16 so that it passes through the limiting plate 14 and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the movable clip 7 and the mounting groove 8. Tighten the limiting bolt 16 to make the limiting plate 14 firmly fix the movable clip 7 and the fixed clip 5, thereby stably storing the wire harness.

[0026] During this process, the elastic protrusion 11 in the mounting groove 8 engages with the limiting groove 12 on the support block 9, further enhancing the stability of the support block 9 and the wire harness sleeve 10, ensuring that the wire harness will not shift or shake due to external forces or other factors during storage. Through the above operations, precise positioning and stable storage of the forklift wire harness are achieved, solving problems such as wire harness tangling and clustering that exist in existing storage methods.
