Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shell insertion machine technology, and in particular to a fully automatic double-head end-cutting single-head shell insertion machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automatic wire tipping and shell insertion machines typically employ a linear production line design, using a feeding mechanism to sequentially feed wire to fixed stations for stripping, tipping, and shell insertion. While these machines achieve basic automation, they suffer from certain efficiency bottlenecks. When producing single-ended shelled wire, the shell insertion mechanism is usually only installed at one end of the wire for sequential processing, leaving room for further improvement in production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic double-head end-cutting single-head shell insertion machine, which aims to improve production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a fully automatic double-head end-cutting single-head shell insertion machine, comprising:

[0005] The worktable has a loading end and a unloading end;

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a conveying component and a material platform. The conveying component is disposed on the surface of the workbench, and the material platform is connected to the conveying component. Multiple fixing members are arranged at equal intervals on the material platform to fix the material. The conveying component can transport the material platform from the loading end to the unloading end.

[0007] Two peeling mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying component on the workbench and adjacent to the feeding end, for peeling the two ends of the material on the fixing component.

[0008] Two end-cutting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying component on the workbench and adjacent to the peeling mechanism, for use in cutting the ends of the material on the fixing component after peeling.

[0009] Two insertion mechanisms are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying component on the workbench and adjacent to the terminal breaking mechanism. The two insertion mechanisms can be aligned with one end of the material on any two adjacent fixing parts and insert the material into the end with the terminal broken.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the workbench is further provided with two detection mechanisms, which are respectively located on both sides of the conveying component and on the side of the insert mechanism closer to the unloading end.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the insert mechanism has an insert component, the detection mechanism has a detection component, and the material spacing between two adjacent fixed components is defined as A. Then, the spacing between the insert component and the detection component on the same side of the conveying component is 2A.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the detection device is a CCD camera.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a control panel is also connected to the side of the workbench, and a main controller is installed inside the control panel. The feeding mechanism, peeling mechanism, end-cutting mechanism, shell insertion mechanism, and detection mechanism are all electrically connected to the main controller.

[0014] This utility model's technical solution employs a staggered insertion mechanism layout, allowing for simultaneous insertion of two materials. By setting the distance between the insertion component and the inspection component on the same side to twice the fixed distance between the materials, parallel operation of the insertion and inspection processes is achieved. While the insertion mechanism is performing insertion on the current pair of wires, the inspection mechanism is simultaneously inspecting the insertion quality of the other pair of wires completed in the previous cycle, eliminating idle waiting time between processes and thus greatly improving the overall production efficiency and cycle time of the equipment.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This utility model proposes a fully automatic double-head end-chopping single-head shell insertion machine, including a worktable 1, a feeding mechanism, two peeling mechanisms 3, two end-chopping mechanisms 4, and two shell insertion mechanisms 5. The worktable 1 has a loading end 11 and a unloading end 12. The feeding mechanism includes a conveying component 21 and a material platform 22. The conveying component 21 is disposed on the surface of the worktable 1, and the material platform 22 is connected to the conveying component 21. Multiple fixing parts 23 are evenly arranged on the material platform 22 to fix the material. The conveying component 21 can transport the material platform 22 from the loading end 11 to the unloading end 12. The two peeling mechanisms 3 are symmetrically arranged. Two end-cutting mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying component 21 on the workbench 1, adjacent to the feeding end 11, for peeling both ends of the material on the fixing member 23; two end-cutting mechanisms 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying component 21 on the workbench 1, adjacent to the end-cutting mechanism 4, for cutting the ends of the material on the fixing member 23 after peeling; two shell-inserting mechanisms 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying component 21 on the workbench 1, adjacent to the end-cutting mechanism 4, and the two shell-inserting mechanisms 5 can be respectively aligned with one end of the material on any two adjacent fixing members 23, and insert shells into the ends of the material with the cut ends.

[0023] Understandably, the workbench 1 is the base platform of the equipment, the skeleton of the entire machine, with a loading end 11 and a unloading end 12, defining the direction of material movement. The feeding mechanism consists of a conveyor component 21 and a material platform 22. The conveyor component 21 can be a conveyor belt, lead screw, motor, or other structures. The material platform 22 has a series of equidistantly arranged fixing parts 23, which can be clamps. In this example, the fixing parts 23 have through holes through which the two ends of the wire extend, waiting to be processed. The conveyor component 21 carries the material platform 22 and all the wires on it, moving step by step from the loading end 11 to the unloading end 12.

[0024] Two stripping mechanisms 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveying assembly 21, close to the feeding end 11. This is the first processing step, simultaneously stripping the insulation from both ends of the wire that are fixed, preparing for subsequent steps. Two terminal crimping mechanisms 4 are also symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveying assembly 21, immediately following the stripping mechanisms 3, and crimping metal terminals onto the stripped ends of the wire. Two insertion mechanisms 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the conveying assembly 21, following the terminal crimping mechanisms 4. They can be aligned with one end of the wire on any two adjacent fixing members 23, meaning this layout design allows for the simultaneous processing of two wires.

[0025] First, the worker or robotic arm fixes the wires at the loading end 11 onto the various fixing parts 23 of the feed table 22. The conveying component 21 moves the feed table 22 forward to the stripping mechanism 3, where the stripping blades on both sides simultaneously remove the insulation from both ends of the wires. The feed table 22 then moves forward one station, and the wires move to the terminal crimping mechanism 4, where the machine crimps the metal terminals onto the exposed copper wires. The feed table 22 continues forward to the insertion mechanism 5. At this point, assuming wires A, B, C, D... are fixed on the feed table 22, one insertion mechanism 5 is aligned with the right end of wire A, and the other with the left end of wire B. Then, these two mechanisms operate simultaneously, inserting the terminal-crimped ends of wires A and B into the holes of a connector housing. This completes the simultaneous crimping of two double-sided wires with single-sided insertion. The feed table 22 continues to move, aligning wires C and D with the two insertion mechanisms 5 respectively, and repeats the above steps. The finished wire harness is transported to the unloading end 12 and removed by a robotic arm or manually.

[0026] The above configuration significantly improves work efficiency. Conventional double-ended, single-ended wire production lines install one insertion mechanism 5 on one side of the wire after terminal crimping. However, this embodiment, by setting staggered insertion mechanisms 5 at both ends of the wire, allows for simultaneous insertion of two wires, effectively doubling the production efficiency. Furthermore, if double-ended wire is required, one insertion mechanism 5 can be disassembled and repositioned to align with the other, enabling production. This design offers high versatility.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, two detection mechanisms 6 are also provided on the workbench 1. The two detection mechanisms 6 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying component 21 and on the side of the inserting mechanism 5 near the unloading end 12.

[0028] Understandably, the inspection mechanism 6 is located after the insertion mechanism 5, near the unloading end 12, and is set on both sides of the transport assembly 21. After the wire has completed all assembly processes such as stripping, crimping, and insertion, it must pass through the inspection station before being sent to the unloading end 12. The inspection mechanism 6 is used to check the product yield, such as checking whether the terminals have been crimped onto the wire, whether the position is correct, whether there is over-pressure or insufficient crimping, etc., or using a high-resolution camera to check whether the terminal surface is damaged or scratched, and whether the wire insulation has been damaged during the stripping and crimping process, etc.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the insert mechanism 5 has an insert component 51, and the detection mechanism 6 has a detection component 61. The material spacing on two adjacent fixing components 23 is defined as A, and the spacing between the insert component 51 and the detection component 61 on the same side of the conveying component 21 is 2A.

[0030] Understandably, the material spacing A refers to the center distance between two adjacent fixed parts 23 on the material platform 22. This distance is fixed and determines the material density at each station. The spacing 2A between the insert part 51 and the detection part 61 refers to the physical distance between the part performing the insert action and the part performing the detection action on the same side of the machine transport assembly 21. This distance is twice the material spacing A.

[0031] Assuming wires A, B, C, D, E, F... are fixed on the feed table 22, the insertion housings 51 on both sides first insert the left end of wire A and the right end of wire B into the connector housing. Then, the conveyor assembly 21 starts, moving the feed table 22 forward precisely a distance 2A. Now wires A and B are inspected under the detection pieces 61 on both sides, while wires C and D are inserted into the housings on both sides. This cycle repeats, achieving parallel operation of the assembly line and maximizing efficiency. By setting the distance between the insertion housing 51 and the detection pieces 61 to 2A, and coordinating the movement of the feed table 22 by 2A, the machine ensures that the insertion mechanism 5 and the detection mechanism 6 always work simultaneously, but process different workpieces. Within one cycle, the machine completes two operations simultaneously, eliminating waiting time between processes and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the detection element 61 is a CCD camera.

[0033] Understandably, CCD cameras can capture clear images with high pixel density and high resolution, enabling precise detection of whether terminals are properly inserted and whether there are any positional deviations; or whether terminals are correctly inserted into the designated holes on the connector housing, without any misalignment, tilting, or missing insertion; and to identify whether there are any dents or deformations on the terminal surface, or whether the wire insulation is damaged. Furthermore, CCD cameras can capture an entire image in a very short exposure time, and with the help of image processing software, analysis and judgment can be completed in a very short time.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, a control panel 7 is also connected to the side of the workbench 1. The control panel 7 is equipped with a main controller. The feeding mechanism, peeling mechanism 3, end-cutting mechanism 4, shell insertion mechanism 5, and detection mechanism 6 are all electrically connected to the main controller.

[0035] Understandably, console 7 is the control center and interactive interface of the equipment, including a touch screen, buttons, indicator lights, etc., allowing operators to issue commands, set parameters, monitor operating status, and receive alarm information. The main controller is an industrial computer or programmable logic controller located inside console 7. The main actuators, including feeding, peeling, end trimming, shell insertion, and detection, are all connected to the main controller via cables, receiving its commands and reporting their own status.

[0036] This utility model's technical solution employs a staggered insertion mechanism layout, allowing for simultaneous insertion of two materials. By setting the distance between the insertion component and the inspection component on the same side to twice the fixed distance between the materials, parallel operation of the insertion and inspection processes is achieved. While the insertion mechanism is performing insertion on the current pair of wires, the inspection mechanism is simultaneously inspecting the insertion quality of the other pair of wires completed in the previous cycle, eliminating idle waiting time between processes and thus greatly improving the overall production efficiency and cycle time of the equipment.
