Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness gluing technology, specifically to a gluing device for wire harness manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In the wire harness manufacturing industry, the gluing and shaping of wire harness terminals is a key process to ensure product quality and performance.

[0003] Currently, some wire harness manufacturing adhesive application devices on the market use ultraviolet (UV) lamps to irradiate the adhesive for shaping, but this method has significant drawbacks. The UV lamps in these devices are mostly designed for open irradiation, lacking effective protective features. During operation, workers are directly exposed to the surrounding environment, and ultraviolet radiation poses potential hazards to the human body, especially to the eyes and skin. Prolonged exposure can lead to eye damage, sunburn, and other problems, seriously affecting the health and safety of workers.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional glue application devices mostly employ a method of applying glue to wire harnesses one by one, which is cumbersome and has a low degree of automation. When facing the demands of large-scale production, this inefficient glue application method cannot meet production schedule requirements, leading to extended production cycles, increased production costs, and reduced product competitiveness in the market. Therefore, a glue application device for wire harness manufacturing is proposed. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should 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 direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-6 A gluing device for wire harness manufacturing includes a base 1, on which a plurality of parallel and equally spaced strip skeletons 2 are arranged. Each strip skeleton 2 is provided with a sliding joint 3. All strip skeletons 2 are also provided with a shaping component 4. A gluing component 5 is provided at the upper end of each strip skeleton 2. A sliding groove 21 is opened at the front end of each strip skeleton 2. The sliding joint 3 is slidably disposed on the strip skeleton 2 through the sliding groove 21. An interface groove 31 for inserting wire harness terminals is opened at the front end of the sliding joint 3. The shaping component 4 includes a housing 41 whose lower end penetrates and engages with the strip skeleton 2. A cover plate 42 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end of the housing 41. An ultraviolet lamp plate 43 is installed on the inner side of the cover plate 42, and a power supply module 44 and a switch 45 are provided on the outer side. The gluing component 5 includes a gluing machine 57 for gluing.

[0035] It should be noted that the power supply module 44 can be equipped with a charging interface or be powered by a battery, and the glue applicator 57 is equipped with pipes for conveying glue, which are common technologies in this field, so they will not be described in detail.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first magnet 23 is attached to the end of the groove 21 of the strip frame 2, and a second magnet 33 is attached to the rear end of the sliding joint 3. The first magnet 23 and the second magnet 33 attract each other.

[0037] It should be noted that this design is intended to ensure that when the sliding connector 3 slides to the end of the groove 21, the mutual attraction of the magnets allows the sliding connector 3 to be more stably fixed at the end of the groove 21, preventing displacement during subsequent gluing or shaping processes. This ensures the accurate positioning of the wire harness terminals and improves the quality of gluing and shaping. Furthermore, this design also facilitates the quick separation of the sliding connector 3, allowing for easy insertion and installation with new wire harness terminals when the sliding connector 3 moves to the front end of the strip frame 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, an anti-slip groove 32 is provided on the upper surface of the sliding joint 3. This increases the friction force when the operator operates the sliding joint 3, making it easier and more stable to push the sliding joint 3. A glue dispensing groove 22 is provided on the strip frame 2 located directly below the glue dispensing assembly 5, and the glue dispensing groove 22 is located on both sides of the sliding groove 21. The glue dispensing groove 22 is designed so that the glue directly contacts the part to be glued during glue dispensing, preventing glue from overflowing to other parts, and also facilitating the operation of the glue dispensing machine 57 during the glue dispensing process, ensuring the accuracy of glue dispensing.

[0039] In this embodiment, the UV lamp panel 43 is electrically connected to the power supply module 44 and the switch 45. This design allows operators to easily control the UV lamp panel 43 to turn on and off via the switch 45, thereby controlling the irradiation time of the UV lamps according to actual needs. A handle 46 is installed at the front end of the housing 41. The handle 46 facilitates the movement of the shaping component 4 by operators. After the glue is applied, the shaping component 4 can be easily moved above the wire harness for UV irradiation shaping, making the operation more convenient.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 41 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting slots 411 that cooperate one by one with the strip frame 2, and the housing 41 slides and engages with the strip frame 2 through the light-transmitting slots 411.

[0041] It should be noted that the design of the light-transmitting slot 411 not only ensures that the housing 41 can slide smoothly on the strip frame 2, but also does not affect the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp plate 43 from passing through the housing 41 to irradiate the adhesive on the wire harness, thereby achieving the setting of the adhesive. At the same time, this sliding engagement method also ensures the stability of the setting component 4 during movement.

[0042] In this embodiment, the glue application assembly 5 further includes a gantry frame 51 mounted on the upper end of all the strip frames 2. A block 54 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding joint 3 is slidably arranged inside the gantry frame 51. A screw 52 threadedly connected to the block 54 is rotatably arranged on the gantry frame 51. A motor 53 is fixedly connected to one side of the screw 52 through the gantry frame 51.

[0043] It should be noted that after the motor 53 starts, it drives the screw 52 to rotate. Since the block 54 is threadedly connected to the screw 52, ​​and the block 54 is restricted by the gantry frame 51 to move only in the direction perpendicular to the sliding joint 3, the rotation of the screw 52 will drive the block 54 to slide inside the gantry frame 51, thereby driving the glue applicator 57 to move, realizing the glue applicator operation on the wire harness at different positions, improving the flexibility and efficiency of glue applicator.

[0044] In this embodiment, a movable part 55 is vertically slidable through the block 54, and an electric push rod 56 for driving the movable part 55 up and down is also installed on the upper surface of the block 54. A glue applicator 57 is installed on the bottom surface of the movable part 55.

[0045] It should be noted that the electric push rod 56 can drive the movable part 55 to slide vertically up and down on the block 54, thereby driving the glue applicator 57 to move up and down. During glue application, the electric push rod 56 pushes the glue applicator 57 downward, allowing it to contact the wire harness terminals for glue application; after glue application is completed, the electric push rod 56 pulls the glue applicator 57 upward to prevent interference between the glue applicator 57 and the wire harness, ensuring the smooth progress of the glue application process.

[0046] In this embodiment, the movable component 55 includes two square plates located on different sides of the block 54, and four round rods are fixedly installed between the two square plates. The four round rods pass through the four corners of the block 54. The driving end of the electric push rod 56 abuts against the bottom surface of the upper square plate, and the glue applicator 57 is installed on the bottom surface of the lower square plate.

[0047] It should be noted that this structural design makes the moving part 55 more stable during its up-and-down movement. The four round rods act as guides, ensuring the straightness of the glue applicator 57 during its up-and-down movement, thereby improving the glue applicator's accuracy. It should also be noted that the coordinated control of the glue applicator 57 by the motor 53 and the electric push rod 56 is a common technology in this field, and can employ PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) based control methods, etc.

[0048] In summary, this glue-applying device for wire harness manufacturing, by setting a sliding shaping component 4, allows the ultraviolet lamp plate 43 to be installed inside the cover plate 42 of the shaping component 4. After glue application, the shaping component 4 covers the wire harness for ultraviolet irradiation and shaping, effectively avoiding direct exposure of ultraviolet light to the surrounding environment, greatly enhancing the protective effect, ensuring the health and safety of workers, and solving the problem of traditional devices' ultraviolet lamps not providing protection and harming workers' health.

[0049] This wire harness manufacturing glue applicator, by setting multiple parallel strip skeletons 2 and matching sliding joints 3, can simultaneously insert multiple wire harness terminals. With the help of the movable glue applicator 5, it can perform glue applicator operation on multiple wire harnesses at one time, which greatly improves glue applicator efficiency, shortens production cycle, reduces production cost, and solves the problem of low efficiency of traditional equipment that glues one by one.

[0050] Working principle: During operation, the wire harness terminals are first inserted into the interface slots 31 of each sliding connector 3. Then, the sliding connector 3 is pushed to slide along the slide groove 21 of the strip frame 2. When it reaches the end of the slide groove 21, the first magnet 23 and the second magnet 33 attract each other, making the sliding connector 3 stable and fixed. Then, the motor 53 is started, and the motor 53 drives the screw 52 to rotate. Since the block 54 is threadedly connected to the screw 52 and is restricted by the gantry frame 51, the block 54 will slide in the gantry frame 51 along the sliding direction perpendicular to the sliding connector 3, thereby driving the glue applicator 57 to move above the wire harness terminal that needs to be glued. At this time, the electric push rod 56 is started, pushing the movable part 55 downward, so that the glue applicator 57 installed on the bottom surface of the square plate on the lower side of the movable part 55 contacts the wire harness terminal and begins to apply glue.

[0051] After the glue application is complete, the electric push rod 56 pulls the movable part 55 upward, causing the glue applicator 57 to move away from the wire harness terminal. Then, the operator slides the shaping component 4 along the strip frame 2 onto the glued wire harness using the handle 46 at the front of the housing 41, placing the wire harness inside the housing 41 of the shaping component 4. Switch 45 is turned on, and the power supply module 44 supplies power to the ultraviolet lamp board 43. The ultraviolet lamp board 43 emits ultraviolet light, which shines through the light-transmitting slot 411 at the bottom of the housing 41 onto the glue, shaping it. Because the ultraviolet lamp board 43 is inside the cover plate 42 of the shaping component 4, ultraviolet light can be avoided from harming the operator. After shaping is complete, switch 45 is turned off, the shaping component 4 is removed, and the wire harness is taken out, completing the entire glue application process.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
