Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness manufacturing technology, and in particular to a wire harness guiding mechanism that avoids wire harness accumulation during the winding process. Background Technology

[0002] In wire harness manufacturing, the winding process is one of the key steps. Existing wire harness guiding mechanisms typically have a fixed structure, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the guiding position and angle according to winding requirements. When winding equipment performs winding operations with different diameters and numbers of turns, the wire harness is prone to accumulation during the guiding process due to poor position adaptability and unreasonable angles. Wire harness accumulation not only leads to uneven winding tightness, affecting product quality, but can also cause wire harness wear and breakage, reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs. Furthermore, existing guiding mechanisms lack effective buffering and tension adjustment mechanisms. When equipment vibration or sudden changes in wire harness tension occur during winding, they cannot buffer and adjust in time, further exacerbating the wire harness accumulation problem and failing to meet the requirements of high-precision, high-efficiency wire harness winding.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a wire harness guiding mechanism to avoid wire harness accumulation during the winding process, so as to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and to provide a wire harness guiding mechanism that avoids wire harness accumulation during the winding process.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a wire harness guiding mechanism to avoid wire harness accumulation during winding, comprising:

[0006] A substrate, wherein the substrate is horizontally arranged and has a rectangular opening;

[0007] A transverse movement assembly, which is mounted on two opposite sides of the rectangular opening;

[0008] A lifting assembly, which is fixed to the moving end of the transverse assembly;

[0009] Mounting base, the mounting base being disposed at the movable end of the lifting assembly;

[0010] A fixed arm is fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and a guide post is provided at the end of the fixed arm;

[0011] The movable arm has its middle section rotatably connected to the mounting base, and one end of the movable arm is provided with a second guide post, with the first guide post and the second guide post being matched and matched accordingly.

[0012] A telescopic cylinder is fixed on the mounting base and its telescopic end is rotatably connected to the other end of the movable arm. The telescopic cylinder is used to drive the movable arm to swing so that the second guide post approaches or moves away from the first guide post.

[0013] A preferred technical solution is as follows: the mounting base is disposed on the moving end of the lifting assembly via a buffer assembly. The buffer assembly consists of a connecting plate, a guide rail, and an elastic element. The connecting plate is fixed to the moving end of the lifting assembly, the guide rail is fixed to the connecting plate, and the mounting base is fixed to the slider of the guide rail. A first connecting post is provided on the bottom side of the mounting base, a second connecting post is provided on the connecting plate, and the elastic element connects the first connecting post and the second connecting post. The elastic element is arranged parallel to the guide rail.

[0014] A preferred technical solution is that a limiting member is provided on the connecting plate at the end of the guide rail.

[0015] A preferred technical solution is as follows: a U-shaped photoelectric switch one and a U-shaped photoelectric switch two are provided on the connecting plate and at the end of the guide rail; a baffle plate one and a baffle plate two are provided on the side wall of the mounting base; the length of the baffle plate one is longer than the length of the baffle plate two; the baffle plate one is correspondingly arranged with the U-shaped photoelectric switch; and the baffle plate two is correspondingly arranged with the U-shaped photoelectric switch.

[0016] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the first guide post and the second guide post have the same structure, both including a columnar body, and the peripheral wall of the columnar body is provided with an annular groove with a V-shaped cross section.

[0017] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention, by setting up a horizontal movement component and a lifting component, can drive the mounting base and guide post one and guide post two to achieve horizontal and vertical position adjustment, so that the guide position of the wire harness can be flexibly adjusted according to the winding requirements, fundamentally reducing the problem of wire harness accumulation caused by fixed position.

[0019] The movable arm is driven by a telescopic cylinder to swing, which can open and close the second guide post and the first guide post, making it easier to thread and clamp the wire harness. At the same time, the distance between the two can be adjusted to accommodate wire harnesses of different diameters, ensuring the stability of the wire harness during the guiding process and avoiding wire harness deviation and accumulation.

[0020] The buffer assembly can absorb the impact force caused by equipment vibration or sudden changes in wire harness tension during the winding process. Through the expansion and contraction of the elastic element, the mounting base can move smoothly along the guide rail, ensuring stable wire harness tension and further preventing wire harness accumulation.

[0021] Limiting components restrict the movement range of the mounting base on the guide rail, preventing damage to the mechanism due to excessive buffering; the U-shaped photoelectric switch, in conjunction with the baffle, can monitor the position status of the mounting base in real time, facilitating timely adjustment of the buffering force and ensuring the reliability of the guiding mechanism's operation.

[0022] The V-shaped grooves on conductor post one and conductor post two can effectively limit the wire, prevent the wire bundle from slipping during the guiding process, ensure winding accuracy, and improve product quality and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, according to a general technical concept of this utility model, a wire harness guiding mechanism is provided to avoid wire harness accumulation during the winding process, comprising:

[0029] Substrate 201 is horizontally arranged and has a rectangular opening;

[0030] A transverse movement assembly 202 is mounted on two opposite sides of a rectangular opening;

[0031] Lifting component 203 is fixed to the moving end of transverse component 202;

[0032] Mounting base 206 is located at the moving end of lifting assembly 203;

[0033] Fixed arm 208 is fixed on mounting base 206, and a guide post 210 is provided at the end of fixed arm 208;

[0034] The movable arm 209 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 206 in the middle section. One end of the movable arm 209 is provided with a second guide post 211. The first guide post 210 and the second guide post 211 are correspondingly matched.

[0035] Telescopic cylinder 207 is fixed on mounting base 206 and its telescopic end is rotatably connected to the other end of movable arm 209. Telescopic cylinder 207 is used to drive movable arm 209 to swing so that guide post 211 approaches or moves away from guide post 210.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the mounting base 206 is disposed on the moving end of the lifting assembly 203 via a buffer assembly. The buffer assembly consists of a connecting plate 204, a guide rail 205, and an elastic element (not shown). The connecting plate 204 is fixed to the moving end of the lifting assembly 203, the guide rail 205 is fixed to the connecting plate 204, and the mounting base 206 is fixed to the slider of the guide rail 205. A connecting post one is provided on the bottom side of the mounting base 206, and a connecting post two is provided on the connecting plate 204. The elastic element connects the connecting post one and the connecting post two, and the elastic element is arranged parallel to the guide rail 205.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, a limiting member (not shown) is provided on the connecting plate 204 and at the end of the guide rail 205 for limiting.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, a U-shaped photoelectric switch one and a U-shaped photoelectric switch two are provided on the connecting plate 204 and at the end of the guide rail 205. A baffle plate one and a baffle plate two are provided on the side wall of the mounting base 206. The length of the baffle plate one is longer than the length of the baffle plate two. The baffle plate one is correspondingly set with the U-shaped photoelectric switch, and the baffle plate two is correspondingly set with the U-shaped photoelectric switch, which are used to determine the position of the mounting base 206.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the conductor post 210 and the guide post 211 have the same structure, both including a columnar body. The peripheral wall of the columnar body is provided with an annular groove with a V-shaped cross-section for guiding the wire harness.

[0040] In use, the wire harness is passed through the V-shaped groove between conductor post 1 210 and conductor post 211. The telescopic cylinder 207 drives the movable arm 209 to swing, bringing conductor post 211 closer to conductor post 1 210, thus confining the wire harness within a certain range of motion. According to winding requirements, the position of the mounting base 206 is adjusted via the lateral movement component 202 and the lifting component 203, allowing for horizontal and vertical position adjustment of conductor post 1 210 and conductor post 211. During winding, if equipment vibration or sudden changes in wire harness tension occur, the elastic element in the buffer component will extend or retract, causing the mounting base 206 to move along the guide rail 205, providing a buffering effect. Simultaneously, the limiting component restricts the movement range of the mounting base 206. U-shaped photoelectric switches 1 and 2, along with baffles 1 and 2, monitor the position of the mounting base 206, ensuring stable operation of the mechanism and effectively preventing wire harness accumulation.

[0041] Therefore, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0042] This invention, by setting up a horizontal movement component and a lifting component, can drive the mounting base and guide post one and guide post two to achieve horizontal and vertical position adjustment, so that the guide position of the wire harness can be flexibly adjusted according to the winding requirements, fundamentally reducing the problem of wire harness accumulation caused by fixed position.

[0043] The movable arm is driven by a telescopic cylinder to swing, which can open and close the second guide post and the first guide post, making it easier to thread and clamp the wire harness. At the same time, the distance between the two can be adjusted to accommodate wire harnesses of different diameters, ensuring the stability of the wire harness during the guiding process and avoiding wire harness deviation and accumulation.

[0044] The buffer assembly can absorb the impact force caused by equipment vibration or sudden changes in wire harness tension during the winding process. Through the expansion and contraction of the elastic element, the mounting base can move smoothly along the guide rail, ensuring stable wire harness tension and further preventing wire harness accumulation.

[0045] Limiting components restrict the movement range of the mounting base on the guide rail, preventing damage to the mechanism due to excessive buffering; the U-shaped photoelectric switch, in conjunction with the baffle, can monitor the position status of the mounting base in real time, facilitating timely adjustment of the buffering force and ensuring the reliability of the guiding mechanism's operation.

[0046] The V-shaped grooves on conductor post one and conductor post two can effectively limit the wire, prevent the wire bundle from slipping during the guiding process, ensure winding accuracy, and improve product quality and production efficiency.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
