With the development of the electronics industry, the application range of terminal blocks is expanding, and the types are also increasing. Terminal blocks must be used in conjunction with the appropriate cable type. During connection, the cable insulation must be stripped first, and then the terminal block and cable must be crimped and secured. Processing different types of cables requires changing materials, and sometimes equipment adjustments are necessary after switching, resulting in low automation levels and impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an automated wire harness production and processing center, which improves the production efficiency and automation level of cables.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated wire harness production and processing center includes a cable conveying mechanism, a terminal conveying mechanism, and a terminal crimping machine. The cable conveying mechanism is used to convey cable conductors to the terminal crimping machine, and the terminal conveying mechanism is used to convey terminals to the terminal crimping machine. The terminal crimping machine crimps the cable conductors and terminals. The cable conveying mechanism includes a support frame, a slide rail, and a cable drive assembly. The support frame is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and multiple cable conductors can be threaded side by side on the support frame. The cable drive assembly includes an upper support and a lower support, both of which are equipped with vertically movable sliding plates. Rollers are provided on both sides of the sliding plates. The support frame passes between the two sliding plates, and the sliding support frame allows the cable conductors to move between the rollers on both sides. When the two sliding plates approach each other, the rollers on both sides can jointly clamp the cable conductors and drive them to move.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing a second motor on both the upper and lower supports, and the second motor synchronously drives all the rollers to rotate via a transmission belt.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: The automated wire harness production and processing center provided by this utility model can process multiple different types of cables simultaneously.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The automated wire harness production and processing center provided by this utility model includes a cable conveying mechanism 1, a terminal conveying mechanism 2, and a terminal crimping machine 3. The cable conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey the cable conductor 101 to the terminal crimping machine 3, and the terminal conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the wiring terminal to the terminal crimping machine 3. The terminal crimping machine 3 crimps the cable conductor 101 and the wiring terminal. The terminal conveying mechanism 2 and the terminal crimping machine 3 can be existing products on the market, and will not be described separately.

[0019] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the cable conveying mechanism 1 includes a support frame 4, a slide rail 5, and a cable driving assembly 6. The support frame 4 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 5, which is equipped with a ball screw mechanism 12. Driven by a first motor 13, the ball screw mechanism 12 drives the support frame 4 to slide on the slide rail 5. Multiple cable conductors 101 can be threaded side-by-side on the support frame 4, allowing for automatic switching between different types of cables as needed. Multiple sets of guide seats 11 are provided at both ends of the support frame 4, and the cable conductors 101 pass through the guide seats 11 to ensure a linear movement trajectory for the cable conductors 101.

[0020] The cable drive assembly 6 includes an upper support 7 and a lower support 8. Both the upper support 7 and the lower support 8 are equipped with vertically movable slide plates 9. The slide plates 9 are vertically slidable on the upper support 7 and the lower support 8 via guide rails 15. Both the upper support 7 and the lower support 8 are equipped with cylinders 14, which drive the slide plates 9 to slide up and down. Rollers 10 are provided on both sides of the slide plates 9. When the two slide plates 9 approach each other, the rollers 10 move closer together until they contact each other; when the two slide plates 9 move away from each other, the rollers 10 separate. A support frame 4 passes between the two slide plates 9, and sliding the support frame 4 allows the cable conductor 101 to move between the rollers 10 on both sides. When the two slide plates 9 approach each other, the rollers 10 on both sides can jointly clamp the cable conductor 101 and drive it to move, thereby realizing the transport of the cable conductor 101. Other unclamped cable conductors 101 remain stationary. When switching between different types of cable conductors 101, simply slide the support frame 4 to move the different types of cable conductors 101 between the rollers 10 on both sides, which can achieve automatic switching.

[0021] Meanwhile, multiple rollers 10 are provided to increase the contact area with the cable conductor 101 and provide greater clamping friction. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a second motor 16 is provided on both the upper support 7 and the lower support 8. The second motor 16 drives all the rollers 10 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 17.

[0022] Working principle: During normal operation, the cable conveying mechanism 1 conveys the cable conductor 101 to the terminal crimping machine 3, and the terminal conveying mechanism 2 simultaneously conveys the wiring terminals to the terminal crimping machine 3. The terminal crimping machine 3 crimps the cable conductor 101 and the wiring terminals.

[0023] When it is necessary to switch between different types of cable conductors 101, firstly, the cylinders 14 on the upper and lower sides are controlled to drive the slide plates 9 away, and at the same time, the rollers 10 on both sides also separate from each other. The rollers 10 no longer hold the cable conductor 101. Then, the first motor 13 drives the ball screw mechanism 12 to move, causing the support frame 4 to slide on the slide rail 5, and moving the cable conductor 101 to be switched between the two rollers 10. Then, the cylinders 14 drive the two slide plates 9 to approach each other, and the rollers 10 on both sides come together to hold the switched cable conductor 101. Driven by the second motor 16, it moves, thereby realizing the transport of the cable conductor 101.

[0024] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
