Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a heating system for wire harness heat shrink tubing. Background Technology

[0002] Heat-shrinkable materials, also known as polymer shape memory materials, have shape memory properties that can be used to manufacture heat-shrinkable tubing, films, and other materials. They are applied to the surface of objects by heating and shrinking, providing insulation, moisture protection, sealing, and splicing functions, thus finding applications in energy, power, and other fields. For example, most existing coils or voice coils use heat-shrinkable materials; specifically, heat-shrinkable tubing is attached to the outer sheath of the wire harness and then baked.

[0003] Existing methods for baking heat shrink tubing mostly rely on manual operation, which is inefficient and makes it difficult to guarantee product yield. Some automated heat shrink tubing baking devices exist, such as ovens mounted on conveyor belts. The wire harnesses with heat shrink tubing are driven into the oven by the conveyor belt for baking, achieving heat shrinking. However, in existing automated heat shrink tubing baking devices, to ensure effective heating of the products to be heat-shrinked, the oven typically spans across the conveyor belt, resulting in a large overall heating area and high power consumption.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a heating system for wire harness heat shrink tubing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a heating system for wire harness heat shrink tubing includes a transmission module 101, a carrier plate 102, and a heating module 103. The carrier plate 102 is disposed on the transmission module and can move with the transmission module 101, and is used to hold the wire harness heat shrink tubing to be heated. The heating module 103 includes a heating element 131 and an air outlet duct 132, wherein the air outlet duct 132 is perpendicular to the plane of the carrier plate 102, and the central axis of the air outlet duct 132 is located in the same plane as the central axis of the wire harness heat shrink tubing to be heated, thereby allowing for precise heating of the wire harness heat shrink tubing.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transmission module 101 includes a drive component and a transmission component. The drive component includes a motor 111, which may be, for example, a stepper motor or a servo motor, and provides rotational power. The transmission component is connected to the drive component 111 and converts the rotational motion of the motor 111 into linear motion. The carrier plate 103 is fixed to the transmission component so that it moves linearly with the transmission component under the drive of the motor. In another embodiment of this utility model, the transmission component employs a gear and rack combination. The gear is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor and rotates with the motor. One side of the rack includes teeth that mesh with the gear, thereby converting the rotation of the gear into linear motion of the rack. The carrier plate is fixed to the rack and moves linearly with the rack. In another embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly adopts a conveyor belt drive. Specifically, it includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a synchronous belt. The driving pulley is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor and rotates with the motor. The two ends of the synchronous belt are respectively sleeved on the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The carrier plate is fixed on the synchronous belt. When the driving pulley rotates with the motor, the synchronous belt carries the carrier plate in a straight line. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this utility model, other common transmission mechanisms may also be used.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the heating system further includes a support. For example... Figure 1As shown, the bracket includes a base 141 and a first mounting plate 142. The first mounting plate 142 is fixed to both ends of the base 141. The drive mechanism is fixed to the first mounting plate at the first end of the base 141, and both ends of the transmission assembly are respectively fixed to the first mounting plates at the first and second ends of the base 141. Specifically, when a gear and rack combination is used, both ends of the rack are fixed to the first mounting plates at the first and second ends of the base 141, respectively. When a synchronous belt is used, the driven wheel is mounted on the first mounting plate at the second end of the base 141. As shown in the figure, in one embodiment of this invention, several second mounting plates 143 can also be provided in the middle of the transmission assembly. The second mounting plates can be used, for example, to fix the heating module or to install sensors. The sensors can be used, for example, to detect the position, temperature, and moving speed of the carrier plate. This structure ensures that the top and bottom of the carrier plate are not obstructed, facilitating heating.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the carrier plate 102 includes a positioning groove, wherein the central axis of the positioning groove and the central axis of the air outlet pipe are located on the same plane. In use, the heat shrink tubing of the wire harness to be heated is placed in the positioning groove, and alignment can be quickly achieved.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, the heating module includes a housing, a heating component, and an air outlet pipe. The housing is disposed outside the heating component, covering it. The air outlet pipe is connected to the housing and communicates with the interior of the housing to discharge the air heated by the heating component from inside the housing, which then acts on the object to be heated. The heating component includes a heating rod or a heating wire, and the heating temperature of the heating component is adjustable.

[0043] To achieve better heating, in one embodiment of this invention, the heating module includes a first heating module and a second heating module. The first heating module is identical to the second heating module and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transmission module along the plane of the carrier plate. Therefore, when the carrier plate moves with the transmission module to the heating module, both heating modules heat simultaneously to ensure that the heat-shrinkable tubing is heated evenly.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating module is fixed on the mounting bracket 105, and the mounting bracket 105 is fixed on the second mounting plate 143.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the air outlet pipe is not less than the diameter of the heat shrink tubing of the wire harness to be heated, and preferably equal to the diameter of the heat shrink tubing of the wire harness to be heated.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the heating system further includes a detection module and a control module. The detection module is used to detect the movement speed of the transmission module, and / or the position of the carrier plate, and / or the outlet air temperature of the heating module, etc. The control module is communicatively connected to the detection module and is used to control the movement speed of the transmission module, and / or the heating temperature of the heating components, and / or the airflow of the outlet duct based on the detection results of the detection module.

[0047] Although various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they are presented by way of example only and not as limitations. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various combinations, modifications, and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
