Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component processing equipment technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tooling for wire harness connector gluing operations. Background Technology

[0002] Wire harness connectors are used in several fields, including automobiles, home appliances, office equipment, and commercial machinery, and have a large market demand. In the production process of wire harness connectors, the adhesive wrapping process is used to fix and protect the cables, directly affecting the quality of the wire harness connectors. However, the traditional adhesive wrapping process relies on manual labor, which has the following drawbacks: Efficiency issues: Workers need to locate and secure the wire harness interfaces, straighten several cables into a bundle, and simultaneously wrap the bundle with tape to complete the work. Using one hand to secure the cables while working with the other is inefficient. Different specifications of wire harness connectors correspond to different cable lengths, requiring workers to adjust the securing positions accordingly, thus increasing the preparation time for changeover operations.

[0003] Quality Issues: In prolonged operation scenarios, workers often lack effective positioning and securing tools, making it difficult to maintain the tautness of the wire harness. This can easily lead to defects such as exposed cables, uneven adhesive application, and overall wire harness twisting. Furthermore, if the wire harness is subjected to excessive stretching during operation, the cables within may break or fail, severely impacting the quality of the wire harness connectors. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary tooling for applying adhesive to wire harness connectors.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an auxiliary tooling for wrapping adhesive on wire harness connectors, which includes a bracket and an interface fixing part; The bracket consists of a horizontal sheet metal part and two vertical sheet metal parts on both sides; The interface fixing part includes a movable base and a fixing device connected to it. The movable base is fitted onto a horizontal sheet metal part. The fixing device includes a movably connected converging block and a fixing block. The movable base is connected to the fixing block of the fixing device through its support column, and a buffer is also provided between the support column and the fixing block. The bracket is fixed to one side of the workbench, and the workbench is equipped with a wire harness retractor corresponding to the interface fixing part.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper wall inside the movable base is provided with guide posts, and guide strips are provided on both sides. The horizontal sheet metal parts are provided with movable rails that cooperate with the guide posts and guide strips.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower end wall inside the movable base is provided with a locking component that can move up and down. The locking component is threadedly connected to a locking nut, and the locking nut abuts against the lower end wall inside the movable base.

[0008] Furthermore, the center of the fixing block is a groove and the fixing block is provided with a connecting post that passes through the groove; the converging block is disposed in the groove and is movably connected to the fixing block through the connecting post.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring is provided between the converging block and the fixing block, and the spring is fitted into the connecting post portion between the two.

[0010] Furthermore, the gathering block is also provided with a gathering groove that matches the wire harness interface of the wire harness connector.

[0011] Furthermore, a scale is fixed on the horizontal sheet metal part of the bracket.

[0012] This utility model provides an auxiliary tooling for the glue wrapping operation of wire harness connectors, and has the following beneficial effects based on the above structure: Efficiency Improvement: The fixture replaces manual labor, freeing workers' hands to focus on the gluing operation, replacing the inefficient "one hand fixing, one hand working" mode; the adjustable interface fixing part, together with the scale of the bracket, enables quick adaptation of wire harness connectors of different lengths and specifications, greatly shortening the preparation time for changeover operations.

[0013] Quality Improvement: The combined action of the gathering block and the wire harness gatherer ensures the tautness of the wire harness, which helps improve the quality of the adhesive wrapping operation. The springs and buffers in the gathering block and the fixing block can buffer excessive tension and wire harness fluctuations during the adhesive wrapping process, effectively preventing wire harness breakage and failure, and ensuring product quality consistency.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] This utility model discloses an auxiliary tooling for applying adhesive to wire harness connectors, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes a bracket 3 and an interface fixing part. The bracket 3 consists of a horizontal sheet metal part and two vertical sheet metal parts of different lengths. The interface fixing part is movably fitted onto the horizontal sheet metal part, and its horizontal displacement is restricted between the two vertical sheet metal parts. Figure 1 As shown, this auxiliary fixture is fixed to one side of the workbench. Its shorter vertical sheet metal part is fixed to the workbench, while the longer vertical sheet metal part is the same length as the workbench's support leg, ensuring that the horizontal sheet metal part is parallel to the workbench surface. A wire harness retractor that mates with the interface fixing part is also fixed to the side of the workbench.

[0021] like Figure 3 The interface fixing part shown includes a movable base 2 and a fixing device 1.

[0022] The movable base 2 is mounted on the horizontal sheet metal part of the support 3. The upper wall of the movable base 2 has a guide post 24, and the side wall has a guide strip 25. The horizontal sheet metal part has a movable rail that cooperates with the guide post 24 and the guide strip 25, allowing the movable base to move horizontally within the horizontal sheet metal part. The lower wall of the movable base 2 has a locking member 22, which can move up and down inside the movable base 2. The locking member 22 is threadedly connected to a locking nut 23, which abuts against the lower wall inside the movable base 2. When the worker adjusts the height of the locking member 22 until it abuts against the horizontal sheet metal part, the movable base 2 is in a clamping state on the horizontal sheet metal part, meaning the movable base 2 is fixed to the horizontal sheet metal part.

[0023] The fixture 1 is positioned above the movable base 2, and the two are connected by a support column located on the top of the movable base 2. Figure 4 The fixture 1 shown includes a fixing block 12 and a gathering block 11. The fixing block 12 has a groove in the middle to support the gathering block 11, and the fixing block 12 is also provided with a connecting post 15 passing through the groove. The gathering block 11 is placed in the groove and can move horizontally, while the connecting post 15 passes through the gathering block 11 to restrict its movement within the groove. The gathering block 11 is provided with a gathering groove 13, which is used to fix the wire harness interface of the wire harness connector, and the gathering groove 13 and the wire harness gatherer can cooperate to organize the wire harness. In addition, a spring 14 is provided between the gathering block 11 and the fixing block 12, and the spring 14 is fitted into the connecting post portion between them. The spring 14 allows the wire harness in a taut state to bend to a certain extent, avoiding damage to the wire harness from excessive stretching force during operation, thus ensuring the quality of the wire harness connector.

[0024] It should be further noted that a scale 4 is fixed on the horizontal sheet metal part, allowing workers to precisely adjust the position of the interface fixing part according to the scale, thereby adapting to wire harness connectors of different lengths and specifications, effectively reducing the preparation time for changeover operations. A buffer 21 is provided between the support column of the movable base 2 and the fixing device 1. The buffer 21 is used to buffer the up-and-down fluctuation of the wire harness during the glue wrapping operation, thereby maintaining a stable working state and ensuring that the glue wrapping quality of the wire harness connector meets the corresponding standards.

[0025] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows: The worker places the main body of the wire harness connector on the workbench, and positions the wire harness interface of the connector in the gathering slot of the retainer. According to the wire harness length specifications of the connector, the interface fixing part is adjusted to the corresponding position on the scale on the horizontal sheet metal part. During this process, multiple cables located between the wire harness gatherer and the gathering block are gradually straightened and converged into a wire harness. After sorting the wire harness between the two, the worker applies adhesive from the wire harness gatherer end to the gathering block end to complete the entire process.

[0026] It should be noted that the buffer can cushion the fluctuations of the wire harness during the adhesive wrapping process, while the spring between the take-up block and the fixing block protects the wire harness from breakage due to excessive tensile force. Therefore, the adhesive wrapping quality of the wire harness connector can be effectively improved.

[0027] In summary, this invention replaces manual fixing with a method that uses a retainer's gathering block to secure and pull the wire harness, allowing workers to focus on the adhesive wrapping process and effectively improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the retainer, via its movable base, can move on horizontal sheet metal parts, and its scale allows for precise adaptation to wire harness connectors of different lengths, shortening adjustment and preparation time during product changeovers. The wire harness gatherer and the retainer's gathering block work together to gather the wire harness, while the springs and buffers in the retainer and gathering blocks cushion wire harness fluctuations and excessive stretching force from workers during the adhesive wrapping process, effectively ensuring that the adhesive wrapping quality meets wire harness quality standards.

[0028] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, nor is the present invention limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
