Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive lighting parts assembly, specifically relating to an automated device that can realize the assembly and testing of automotive taillight wiring harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in some car taillight models, the wiring harness and lamp housing are tightly fitted together, with the wiring harness being sealed by a plug. However, if the wiring harness is not properly assembled, the airtightness of the lamp cannot be guaranteed. The current assembly tooling uses upper and lower molds for pressing, and the pressing force is the pressure of the equipment's large air cylinder, which can easily crack the lamp housing, leading to frequent scrapping of parts. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem that existing assembly fixtures cannot ensure that the wiring harness and lamp housing of the lamp are properly assembled, this application proposes an automated device for assembling and inspecting automotive taillight wiring harnesses, thus solving the aforementioned technical problem.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] This utility model provides an automated device for assembling and inspecting automotive taillight wiring harnesses, comprising: an upper module, wherein an upper template of the upper module is equipped with a crimping assembly for crimping the automotive taillight wiring harness to the taillight housing, the crimping assembly including a vertically arranged crimping cylinder connected to the upper template, and a pressing block connected to the piston rod of the crimping cylinder; and a lower module, wherein a receiving assembly and a detection assembly are arranged on the lower template, the receiving assembly including a mounting plate, a limiting block adapted to the shape of the lamp housing and a clamping cylinder module for clamping the lamp housing mounted on the mounting plate, the detection assembly including a detection cylinder vertically connected to the lower template and a reference block connected to the mounting plate, the piston rod of the detection cylinder being connected to the detection block and a displacement sensor, the detection cylinder pushing the detection block to contact the wiring harness, and simultaneously the detection block contacting the wire harness, the displacement sensor contacting the reference block to determine whether the wiring harness and the lamp housing are properly assembled.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing cylinder is connected to the upper template via a first base, and a first connecting block is connected to the pressing cylinder, with the pressing block connected to the first connecting block.

[0007] Furthermore, the connection holes on the pressure block and the first base are all U-shaped holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate of the receiving component consists of two pieces, both of which are fixed to the lower template by profile columns.

[0009] Furthermore, the detection cylinder is connected to the lower template via a second base, and a second connecting block is connected to the piston rod of the detection cylinder, with the detection block and the displacement sensor connected to the second connecting block.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting hole of the second base is a U-shaped hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a magnetic switch is configured on the piston rod of the pressing cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two sets of pressing components on the upper template, and correspondingly, there are also two sets of receiving components and detection components on the lower template.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0014] This utility model discloses an automated device for assembling and inspecting automotive taillight wiring harnesses. To address the problem in existing technologies where assembly fixtures cannot ensure the wiring harness and lamp housing are properly aligned, leading to compromised airtightness and frequent component scrap, the device automates this process. It places the lamp housing on a limiting block, pre-places the wiring harness on the housing, clamps the housing with a clamping cylinder module, closes the mold, and uses a pressing cylinder to push a pressing block to automatically assemble the wiring harness and housing. Simultaneously, a detection cylinder pushes a detection block to contact the wiring harness. At the same time, a displacement sensor contacts a reference block to determine if the wiring harness and lamp housing are properly aligned. This device saves project costs and increases production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The piston rod of the detection cylinder 231 is connected to the detection block 233 and the displacement sensor 234. The detection cylinder 231 pushes the detection block 233 to contact the wire harness b. At the same time as the detection block 233 contacts the wire harness b, the displacement sensor 234 contacts the reference block 232 to determine whether the wire harness b and the lamp housing a are properly assembled.

[0022] It should be noted that the lamp housing a itself has a pre-positioning structure for placing the wire harness b. In this utility model, the wire harness b is pre-placed on the lamp housing a.

At the same time, the piston rod of the detection cylinder 231 is connected to the second connecting block 236, and the detection block 233 and the displacement sensor 234 are connected to the second connecting block 236.

[0027] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the connecting hole of the second base 235 is a U-shaped hole, which makes the detection block 233 adjustable in the X and Y directions of the horizontal plane, ensuring the accuracy of the detection position.

[0028] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a magnetic switch is provided on the piston rod of the crimping cylinder 121 to ensure that the wire harness b is crimped into place each time.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, there are two sets of pressing components 12 on the upper template 11. Correspondingly, there are also two sets of receiving components 22 and detection components 23 on the lower template 21, so that the automated device can simultaneously perform automatic assembly and detection of the lamp housing a and wiring harness b on the left and right sides of the car taillight.
