Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network transformer manufacturing technology, and in particular to a wire management structure for network transformer housing. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing electronics and information industry, network transformers, as key components in various network devices for signal transmission, electrical isolation, and impedance matching, directly impact the performance and stability of downstream equipment due to their automation level and product quality. Among these processes, the casing installation of network transformers is a crucial step in the prefabrication of the connecting coils and subsequent winding processing; the accuracy and efficiency of this process have a decisive influence on the overall production flow.

[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses multi-axis robotic arms to complete the installation of network transformers: the end effector of the robotic arm precisely grasps the pre-fabricated coils, moves them along a preset trajectory to the top of the transformer housing to be assembled, and finally places the coils in their corresponding positions inside the housing. A key technical requirement in this process is that the multiple wire bundles of the coil must be connected one-to-one with the multiple slots opened on the housing. This is because in subsequent processes, the wire bundles need to extend along the corresponding slots to the pin area of ​​the housing for winding operations. If the correspondence between the wire bundles and the slots is misaligned, it will directly lead to winding misalignment, poor contact, or even product scrap.

[0004] However, the current housing insertion process suffers from significant structural defects: a lack of specialized structures to constrain the wire harness's alignment with the corresponding slot. Specifically, when the robotic arm places the wire bundle into the housing, the harness maintains its position solely through its rigidity and initial posture. However, at the moment the robotic arm releases the bundle, during its descent, or when the housing vibrates slightly, the harness is highly susceptible to external interference and can easily shift. Since the spacing between adjacent slots is typically small, the shifted harness can easily mistakenly enter an adjacent slot, resulting in a "misalignment." This problem not only disrupts subsequent winding processes, requiring manual adjustments and severely impacting production efficiency, but also risks damaging the wire harness insulation layer due to forced winding, leading to short circuits, signal attenuation, and other quality issues, significantly reducing product yield.

[0005] Therefore, designing a structure that can effectively constrain the connection between the wire harness and the wire slot during the installation of the network transformer casing, and solve the problem of wire harness misalignment, has become a key technical requirement for improving the level of automated production and product quality of network transformers, and urgently needs to be improved and broken through by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a wiring structure for a network transformer housing.

[0007] A cable management structure for a network transformer housing, designed for this purpose, includes a mounting base, cable clamps, and a cable management device;

[0008] The mounting base is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the transformer housing;

[0009] Two wire clamps are provided, spaced apart on the left and right sides;

[0010] Two cable organizers are provided and spaced apart between the two cable clamps; each cable organizer includes a mounting base and a cable management rod fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and the cable management rod can be inserted into the transformer housing;

[0011] The cable management rod is equipped with several cable management channels with openings at the bottom.

[0012] Preferably, the lower side of the cable management channel is provided with a chamfer extending into the cable management channel.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base and the cable management rod are an integral structure.

[0014] This cable management structure for network transformer housings, through its scientific structural design, significantly improves the accuracy of the alignment between the wire harness and the wire slot during the network transformer housing process, bringing numerous beneficial effects:

[0015] First, layered constraints on wire harnesses at different positions are achieved, and these constraints persist throughout the entire insertion process. When the robotic arm picks up the wire package for insertion, the wire guide rod descends into the transformer housing along with the package. During this process, the wire harnesses on the left and right sides are stably constrained to the left and right sides of the wire guide rod, while the wire harnesses in the middle are accommodated one by one in the wire guide channels of the rod. This synchronized downward movement ensures that the wire harnesses remain within the preset constraint space throughout the entire process, from the moment the package enters the housing until it is finally placed in place, preventing displacement due to loss of constraint during insertion. Even when the robotic arm releases the package, the package falls, or the housing vibrates slightly, the wire harnesses maintain their initial position under the rigid constraint of the wire guide rod, fundamentally solving the "misplacement" phenomenon where wire harnesses mistakenly enter adjacent wire slots.

[0016] Secondly, it significantly improves production efficiency and product qualification rate. Because the correspondence between the wire harness and the wire slot is reliably ensured during the housing insertion process, subsequent winding processes can proceed smoothly, avoiding manual downtime for adjustments due to incorrect insertion, reducing production interruption time, and significantly improving the continuous operation capability of the automated production line. At the same time, it eliminates the problem of wire harness insulation damage caused by forced winding, reducing the incidence of quality hazards such as short circuits and signal attenuation, thereby improving the overall qualification rate of network transformer products.

[0030] See Figures 1-5 A cable management structure for a network transformer housing includes a mounting base 10, cable clamps 20, and cable organizers 30. The mounting base 10 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the transformer housing 100. Two cable clamps 20 are provided and spaced apart from each other. Two cable organizers 30 are provided and spaced apart from each other between the two cable clamps 20. Each cable organizer 30 includes a mounting base 310 and a cable management rod 320 fixedly mounted on the mounting base 310. The cable management rod 320 can be inserted into the transformer housing 100. The cable management rod 320 has several cable management channels 330 with openings at the lower ends.

[0031] The working principle of this cable management structure for network transformer housings relies on the close cooperation between various components and a multi-axis robotic arm. Through step-by-step operations, it achieves precise sorting and guidance of the cable bundle. The specific process is as follows:

[0032] In actual operation, the two wire clamps 20 and the two wire organizers 30, which are spaced apart on the left and right, are fixedly mounted on the multi-axis robotic arm, and the whole unit moves synchronously with the movement trajectory of the robotic arm. At the initial stage of operation, the multi-axis robotic arm will first move the two wire clamps 20 and the two wire organizers 30 to the wire separating device, ready to grab the wire bundle.

[0033] When the cable bundle of the cable distribution device is reached, the cable organizer 30 initiates the action: the mounting base 310 drives the cable management rod 320 to insert into the cable bundle area of ​​the bundle from top to bottom, so that the multiple cable bundles in the middle of the bundle enter the cable management channels 330 on the cable management rods 320 of the two cable organizers 30 one by one according to the preset correspondence (the design of the cable management channel with an opening at the lower end facilitates the smooth entry of the cable bundles). At the same time as the cable organizer 30 completes the cable bundle insertion, two cable clamps 20, which are spaced apart on the left and right, simultaneously position the cables and clamp the cable bundles extending to the left and right sides of the bundle. The stable clamping force prevents the cable bundles on both sides from swinging randomly during subsequent movement, thus completing the cable bundle grabbing operation.

[0034] After grasping the coil, the multi-axis robotic arm begins the insertion process: moving the two wire clamps 20, the two wire organizers 30, and the grasped coil together into the receiving cavity of the fixed base 10. During the movement, the two wire clamps 20 maintain their gripping position on the wire bundles on both sides, while the wire organizing rods 320 of the two wire organizers 30 move synchronously with the middle wire bundle. During the process of placing the coil into the transformer housing 100 within the receiving cavity, the wire organizers 30 play a crucial separating role: the wire organizing rods 320 of the two wire organizers 30 separate the multiple wire bundles in the middle through their respective wire organizing channels 330, while the wire clamps 20 on the left and right sides separate the wire bundles on both sides from the middle wire bundle. This multi-layered separation structure ensures that each wire bundle has a clear path for guidance. As the coils gradually enter the transformer housing 100, under the precise constraint of the cable organizer 30, the separated wire bundles can accurately and one by one enter the different wire slots on the housing, effectively avoiding mutual interference and misinsertion between the wire bundles, thus completing the cable management operation when entering the housing.

[0035] In this utility model, the number of cable management channels 330 can be flexibly set according to the specifications of the cable package and the number of cable bundles. When two or more are set, they are arranged in the front and back direction, which can adapt to different cable bundle quantity requirements, ensure that each cable bundle is independently separated, and improve the versatility and accuracy of cable management.

[0036] See Figure 5 The lower side of the cable management channel 330 is provided with a chamfer 340 extending inward into the cable management channel 330. The chamfer 340 on the lower side of the cable management channel 330 extends inward, which can guide the cable harness to slide into the channel more smoothly, reduce jamming, and improve the insertion efficiency.

[0037] In this utility model, the mounting base 310 and the cable management rod 320 are an integral structure.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
