Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wire harness processing technology, and more specifically, to a core wire shaping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of electronic cable processing and electrical connection, the treatment of multi-strand cores at the ends of wires is a crucial step in ensuring the accurate implementation of subsequent processes. Whether it is a wire harness used for circuit connection or a wire that requires processes such as copper wire twisting and tinning, each core at the end must remain independent and neatly positioned.

[0003] However, existing technologies for shaping core wires largely rely on shaping molds. The process requires manual pre-bending of every two core wires to a certain angle before placing them one by one into the mold for shaping. After shaping, the core wires must be manually removed from the mold. This method demands a high level of operator skill, and the manual pre-bending process is labor-intensive and prone to inconsistent core wire spacing due to human error, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a core wire shaping mechanism.

[0005] The core wire shaping mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A core wire shaping mechanism includes a substrate and a shaping component disposed on the substrate;

[0007] The shaping assembly includes a heating plate and clamps symmetrically arranged on both sides of the heating plate, with a shaping groove for core wire shaping formed between the heating plate and the two clamps;

[0008] The grippers can move toward or away from the heating plate to adjust the width of the shaping groove;

[0009] The heating plate is used to heat and soften the core wire entering the shaping groove, and the clamps are used to apply clamping force to the core wire so that the core wire is shaped under heating.

[0010] The above technical solution enables the initial placement and guidance of the core wire through the placement hole. Combined with the cylinder-driven gripper, the core wire is automatically clamped, eliminating the need for manual pre-bending. This not only reduces reliance on operator skill and labor intensity, but also ensures consistent spacing of the core wires during the heating and shaping process through mechanical structure control. This effectively reduces human error, improves shaping accuracy, and provides a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of subsequent processes such as copper wire twisting and soldering.

[0011] Furthermore, a linear module is provided on the top of the substrate, and a connecting seat is provided above the linear module.

[0012] Furthermore, a housing is attached to the top of the connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the casing is made of transparent plastic to facilitate observation of the operation of the internal shaping components.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the shell is made of transparent plastic material, which allows operators to observe the shaping of the internal core wires at any time through the shell, making it easier to detect and deal with abnormalities in a timely manner.

[0015] Furthermore, a placement hole is provided at one end of the housing, and the placement hole is located on one side of the gripper.

[0016] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat, and a cylinder is bolted to one end of the fixing plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a heating device is bolted to one end of the connector, and the heating plate is connected to the heating device.

[0018] Furthermore, the heating device has an L-shaped structure and is located above the cylinder.

[0019] Furthermore, an electromagnetic lock is provided on one side of the housing.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] This invention uses placement holes to guide the initial placement of the core wire, and a cylinder-driven gripper automatically clamps the core wire, eliminating the need for manual pre-bending. This not only reduces reliance on operator skill and labor intensity, but also ensures consistent spacing of the core wire during heating and shaping through mechanical control, effectively reducing human error and improving shaping accuracy. This provides a reliable guarantee for the stable execution of subsequent processes such as copper wire twisting and soldering. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions in 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, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A core wire shaping mechanism includes a substrate 1 and a shaping component disposed on the substrate 1;

[0030] The shaping assembly includes a heating plate 10 and grippers 8 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the heating plate 10, with a shaping groove 11 formed between the heating plate 10 and the two grippers 8 for core wire shaping;

[0031] The gripper 8 can move toward or away from the heating plate 10 to adjust the width of the shaping groove 11;

[0032] The heating plate 10 is used to heat and soften the core wire entering the shaping groove 11, and the clamp 8 is used to apply clamping force to the core wire so that the core wire is shaped under heating.

[0033] First, the operator or feeding device conveys the core wire to be shaped to the vicinity of the shaping component through the placement hole 4 on the housing 3. The placement hole 4 is located on one side of the gripper 8, providing guidance for the initial placement of the core wire. At this time, the gripper 8 is in the open state, and the operator can place the core wire into the two shaping slots 11 respectively. The cylinder 7 is started by controlling the external drive button. The cylinder 7 drives the gripper 8 to move towards the heating plate 10. The width of the shaping slot 11 is changed by adjusting the distance between the gripper 8 and the heating plate 10 until the gripper 8 applies a suitable clamping force to the core wire, and the core wire is stably fixed in the shaping slot 11.

[0034] At the same time, the heating device 9 at one end of the connector 5 is activated to provide heat to the heating plate 10 connected thereto, raising the temperature of the heating plate 10 to a suitable temperature that can soften the core wire sheath. The heating plate 10 transfers heat to the core wire in the shaping groove 11, causing the outer layer of the core wire sheath to gradually soften.

[0035] During the softening process of the core wire sheath, the clamp 8 maintains a clamping force on the core wire, allowing the core wire to be shaped according to the preset shape of the shaping groove 11 while under heating. After 3-5 seconds of heating and clamping, the core wire sheath cools down and is fixed in the desired shape.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-2 The top of the substrate 1 is provided with a linear module 2, and above the linear module 2 is a connecting seat 5. The top of the connecting seat 5 is connected to a housing 3, which is made of transparent plastic material to facilitate observation of the operation status of the internal shaping components.

[0037] The housing 3 is made of transparent plastic, allowing operators to observe the shaping of the internal core wires at any time, facilitating timely detection and handling of abnormalities.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-5 The housing 3 has a placement hole 4 at one end, which is located on one side of the gripper 8. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat 5. A cylinder 7 is bolted to one end of the fixing plate 6. A heating device 9 is bolted to one end of the connecting seat 5. The heating plate 10 is connected to the heating device 9. The heating device 9 has an L-shaped structure and is located above the cylinder 7.

[0039] The heating device 9 typically employs components capable of providing a stable supply of heat. Considering that it needs to continuously heat the heating plate 10 to reach a temperature that softens the core wire insulation, it usually uses electric heating elements, such as heating rods or heating tubes, for heating. These electric heating elements can generate heat by connecting to a power source and then transfer the heat to the connected heating plate 10.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 An electromagnetic lock 12 is provided on one side of the housing 3.

[0041] When the electromagnetic lock 12 is powered on, the electromagnet inside it generates magnetic force, which firmly attracts the matching latch (installed at the corresponding position of the connecting seat 5), thereby stably connecting the housing 3 with the surrounding fixed parts, forming a rigid constraint, and preventing any unnecessary movement of the housing 3 during the 3-5 seconds of core wire heating and shaping.

[0042] Working Principle: First, the operator or feeding device conveys the core wire to be shaped to the vicinity of the shaping assembly through the placement hole 4 on the housing 3. Since the placement hole 4 corresponds to one side of the gripper 8, it can provide initial placement guidance for the core wire. At this time, the gripper 8 is in the open state, and the operator places the core wire into the two shaping slots 11 respectively. Subsequently, the cylinder 7 is started by controlling the external drive button. The cylinder 7 drives the gripper 8 to move towards the heating plate 10. By adjusting the distance between the gripper 8 and the heating plate 10, the width of the shaping slot 11 is changed until the gripper 8 applies a suitable clamping force to the core wire, stably fixing the core wire in the shaping slot 11. At the same time, the heating device 9 at one end of the connecting seat 5 is started, providing heat to the heating plate 10 connected to it, raising the temperature of the heating plate 10 to a suitable temperature that can soften the rubber of the core wire. The heating plate 10 transfers heat to the core wire in the shaping slot 11, causing the outer layer of the core wire to gradually soften. During the softening process of the core wire sheath, the clamping claw 8 maintains a clamping force on the core wire, allowing the core wire to be shaped according to the preset shape of the shaping groove 11 while under heating. After 3-5 seconds of heating and clamping, the core wire sheath cools down and is fixed in the desired shape, thus completing the core wire shaping operation.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
