Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness production technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic stranding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network of automotive circuits; without wiring harnesses, there would be no automotive circuits. A wiring harness is an assembly that connects circuits by crimping copper contact terminals (connectors) to wires and cables, then molding an insulator or adding a metal shell, and finally bundling the wires together.
[0003] Existing wire twisting machines clamp one end of the wire to be twisted onto a clamp, while the other end is held firmly in the operator's hand. A motor activates, causing the clamp to rotate and twist the wire together. Because the operator must hold one end, the motor speed needs to be moderate—neither too fast nor too slow. Too slow a speed results in low efficiency, while too fast a speed increases the operator's workload. Therefore, a control mechanism is needed to precisely control the motor speed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of existing technologies, this utility model provides a semi-automatic stranding machine, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a semi-automatic stranding machine, comprising: a housing, wherein a clamping plate body for clamping one end of a wire harness is provided on the housing, a drive motor is horizontally arranged inside the housing, and the output shaft of the drive motor extends to the outside through a pre-set clearance hole on the side wall of the housing and connects to the clamping plate body; and a control mechanism, wherein the control mechanism includes a main control module and a main control panel, the main control module is disposed inside the housing, the main control panel is disposed on the outer surface of the housing and above the clamping plate body, and the main control module, the main control panel and the drive motor are electrically connected.
[0006] The housing is the main body of this device, used for the corresponding installation and wiring of components. The clamping plate adopts a commercially available structure and is used to fix and clamp one end of the wire harness. The drive motor adopts a commercially available structure and is used to drive the clamping plate to rotate. The main control module and the main control panel adopt commercially available structures. The main control module and the main control panel control the speed of the drive motor mainly through signal interaction and parameter adjustment. The signal interaction adopts a commercially available connection method. This application only claims protection for the mechanical structure, so the circuit part will not be described in detail.
[0007] Preferably, the entire housing is made of aluminum alloy.
[0008] The aluminum alloy housing features high strength, lightweight (density 2.63~2.85g / cm³) and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for stranding machine designs that require heat dissipation or weight reduction.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the housing is provided with a handle, and the handle is made of rubber.
[0010] The handle is designed to provide a gripping point, making it easy for staff to place the housing in the designated position. The rubber handle has a certain degree of elasticity and the surface can enhance grip friction to prevent hand slippage. The bottom of the housing is also pre-set with anti-slip texture (not shown in the figure).
[0011] Preferably, the front surface of the housing is provided with a side cover plate, and the side cover plate is bolted to the housing to form a detachable structure.
[0012] The detachable side cover serves as a maintenance cover, facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance of the internal structure of the casing by staff.
[0013] Preferably, the clamping plate body includes two clamping blocks arranged symmetrically in the longitudinal direction, and the two clamping blocks are provided with bushings at one end near the housing, and are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through the bushings.
[0014] The two vertically arranged clamping blocks form an upper clamping block and a lower clamping block, which are used to fix and clamp one end of the wire harness. The clamping plate body is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through a bushing to form a detachable structure, and is fixed by bolts, which makes it easy for staff to replace or maintain the clamping plate body later.
[0015] Preferably, the main control module is pre-installed with a control module and a power module, and the control module and the power module extend to the outside through clearance holes.
[0016] The control module is a control switch, and the power module is a power cord used to connect to an external plug for power supply. In use, the power cord is connected to the external plug, and the control switch is turned on to power the device.
[0017] Preferably, the main control panel adopts a touch screen structure, and the touch screen display is an LCD structure.
[0018] Operators can preset the motor's speed and number of rotations via the main control panel, and transmit the data to the main control module. The main control module then transmits signals to the drive motor, causing the drive motor to rotate the clamping plate body at the preset speed. This technology is common in the market and will not be described in detail.
[0019] Preferably, it also includes a heat sink, which is disposed on the side cover and has a strip-shaped design.
[0020] The heat generated by the electrical components inside the housing during operation is dissipated to the outside through the heat sink. Compared with dense round holes, the strip-shaped heat dissipation holes are simpler to process (CNC cutting or stamping), increasing material utilization by more than 20%. The aluminum alloy shell with strip-shaped openings reduces weight while ensuring thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity ≥200 W / m·K), further demonstrating the practicality of this device.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: When this utility model is in use, before the drive motor drives the clamping plate body to rotate, the operator can control the speed of the drive motor through the cooperation of the main control module and the main control panel according to actual needs, so as to avoid the speed of the drive motor being too fast or too slow. While ensuring the production efficiency of automotive wiring harnesses, it reduces the labor intensity of the operators, which is conducive to its widespread use. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a semi-automatic wire twisting machine, comprising: a housing 1, a clamping plate body 2 for clamping one end of a wire harness on the housing 1, a drive motor 3 horizontally arranged inside the housing 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 3 extending to the outside and connecting to the clamping plate body 2 through a pre-set clearance hole on the side wall of the housing 1; and a control mechanism, including a main control module 4 and a main control panel 5. The main control module 4 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the main control panel 5 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 1, above the clamping plate body 2. The main control module 4, the main control panel 5, and the drive motor 3 are electrically connected. The housing 1 is made of aluminum alloy. A handle 101 is provided, and the handle 101 is made of rubber. A side cover plate 102 is provided on the front surface of the housing 1, and the side cover plate 102 is bolted to the housing 1 to form a detachable structure. The clamping plate body 2 includes two clamping blocks arranged longitudinally symmetrically, and a bushing is provided at one end of the two clamping blocks near the housing 1. The bushing is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 3. The main control module 4 is equipped with a control module and a power module, and the control module and the power module pass through the clearance hole to the outside. The main control panel 5 adopts a touch screen structure, and the touch screen display is an LCD structure. The heat sink 6 is provided on the side cover plate 102, and the heat sink 6 is designed in a strip shape.
[0028] In this embodiment: First, place the housing 1 in the designated position using handle 101.
[0029] Secondly, the clamp body 2 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 3 via a bushing.

[0031] Then, the staff can preset the speed and number of rotations of the drive motor 3 through the main control panel 5, and transmit the data to the main control module 4.
[0032] Finally, the staff uses the clamp body 2 to fix and hold one end of the wire harness, and firmly grasps the other end of the wire harness. After holding it firmly, they click the start button on the main control panel 5, which causes the main control module 4 to transmit an electrical signal to the drive motor 3, so that the drive motor 3 drives the clamp body 2 to rotate a specified number of times according to the preset speed, thereby twisting the wire harness together and completing the twisting process. During the twisting process, the heat generated by the electrical components inside the housing 1 when they are working is dissipated to the outside through the heat sink 6.
