[0082] In related technologies, wire harness processing equipment is a key piece of equipment used for the automated processing of electrical wire harness assemblies. It integrates a series of process steps to efficiently and accurately complete the preparation of wire harnesses. Specifically, the equipment involves the following core processes: 1. Conveying: The wire harness processing equipment first automatically transports the wire harness from the storage or loading area to the processing area through a conveyor system. Conveying typically uses belt conveyors, chains, rollers, or more advanced track systems to ensure stable transmission of the wire harness and reduce damage. 2. Cutting: After arriving at the processing area, the wire harness is precisely cut according to the set length requirements. This step may use mechanical blades, lasers, or ultrasonic cutting technology to ensure clean, burr-free, and fast cut edges. 3. Stripping: After cutting, the wire harness needs to have some or all of its insulation removed for wiring. The stripping process uses specialized wire stripping tools, such as rotary blades, thermal strippers, or chemical stripping technology, to precisely remove the insulation without damaging the conductor. 4. Threading: This refers to threading the exposed conductor through terminals, connectors, or accessories, such as terminals and pins. The insertion process can be manual or fully automated, using precision positioning tools to ensure the conductor is correctly and without damage embedded in the connector. 5. Crimping: The crimping process ensures stable electrical and mechanical connections in the wire harness. Using crimping tools or machines, pressure is applied to the connector to form a permanent electrical connection. Crimping points must ensure good contact between the conductor and the connector, with no gaps, to prevent future loosening or excessive resistance. The automated integration of these steps makes wire harness processing equipment an essential, efficient, and high-quality tool for wire harness processing on production lines in numerous industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, home appliances, communications, and rail transportation.

[0083] However, the capacity of a single wire harness processing device is low, especially when a large number of wire harnesses need to be processed. The capacity of the wire harness processing device cannot meet the demand, and the only way to increase the overall capacity is to increase the number of wire harness processing devices purchased, which leads to increased production costs.

[0084] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a wire harness processing device. The wire harness 700 processing device includes a first clamping component 300 and a turning component 200. The first clamping component 300 is configured to clamp two wire harnesses 700. The turning component 200 is connected to the first clamping component 300, and the turning component 200 is configured to drive the first clamping component 300 to move along a preset trajectory. The movement of the first clamping component 300 along the preset trajectory is configured to make the movement paths of the two wire harnesses 700 have overlapping segments.

[0085] In this embodiment, the wire harness 700 processing device provided in this application can simultaneously clamp two wire harnesses 700 and, in conjunction with the steering component 200, drive the first clamping component 300 to move along a preset trajectory, thereby making the movement paths of the two wire harnesses 700 have an overlapping portion, and this overlapping portion is defined as an overlapping segment. In other words, two wire harnesses 700 can be processed sequentially or simultaneously using one wire harness 700 processing device, thereby saving the time of transporting the wire harnesses 700.

[0086] It should be noted that in related technologies, after the current wire harness 700 is processed, the next wire harness 700 needs to be delivered. In other words, this application omits this step.

[0087] For example, the wire harness 700 processing device has a cutting component, that is, the cutting component cuts the wire harness 700. Using this embodiment, two wire harnesses 700 can be clamped in the first clamping component 300. If the cutting component can cut multiple wire harnesses 700 simultaneously, the first clamping component 300 can be moved by the steering component 200 to allow the two wire harnesses 700 to enter the cutting component for simultaneous cutting. If the cutting component can only cut a single wire harness 700, the first clamping component 300 can be moved by controlling the steering component 200 to allow the two wire harnesses 700 to enter the cutting component sequentially, thereby achieving separate cutting of the two wire harnesses 700.

[0088] Clearly, compared to the existing technology that processes a single wire harness 700, the two methods described above are more efficient. This means improved processing efficiency, suitability for mass production, and the ability to simultaneously process dual wire harnesses 700 of the same or different types, thereby enhancing the parallel processing capability of the production line.

[0089] The introduction of the steering component 200 enables the first clamping component 300 to move along a preset trajectory, which may include not only straight lines but also complex paths such as curves and turns. This increases the flexibility and adaptability of the wiring harness 700 arrangement, meeting the design requirements of complex wiring harness 700 routing. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the movement of two wiring harnesses 700 along the preset trajectory, their paths converge at a certain segment, i.e., an overlapping segment. This design is used for specific connection requirements, ensuring precise docking and connectivity of the two wiring harnesses 700.

[0090] In addition, in this embodiment, the first clamping component 300 can be used to clamp wire harnesses 700 of different specifications, or wire harnesses 700 of the same specification. That is, when the demand for a single specification of wire harness 700 is large, the first clamping component 300 can be used to clamp a pair of identical wire harnesses 700 for synchronous production, thereby improving efficiency; of course, if the demand for a single specification of wire harness 700 is small, the first clamping component 300 can be used to clamp a pair of wire harnesses 700 of different specifications, thereby making full use of resources.

[0091] The wire harness processing apparatus provided in this application can simultaneously clamp two wire harnesses 700 using the first clamping component 300. The steering component 200, in coordination with the first clamping component 300, controls the movement of the first clamping component 300, ensuring that the movement trajectories of the two wire harnesses 700 clamped on the first clamping component 300 overlap, thus guaranteeing that both wire harnesses 700 can undergo the same processing. Clearly, this apparatus can save the wire harness 700 transport time, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the wire harness 700 processing apparatus, effectively increasing the capacity of a single unit to meet the production and processing needs of large-volume wire harnesses 700, and helping to reduce production costs.

[0092] In addition, this wire harness 700 processing device, through its innovative clamping and steering design, enables efficient and precise wiring and merging of wire harness 700, adapting to diverse wire harness 700 processing needs and improving the flexibility and production efficiency of automated production lines.

[0093] Furthermore, this device can simultaneously clamp two wire harnesses as the basis for subsequent dual-wire harness processes. Dual-wire harness processes generally refer to the technology of simultaneously processing or combining two wires (such as wires, cables, optical fibers, ropes, metal wires, etc.) in manufacturing to improve production efficiency, enhance product performance, or achieve specific functions.

[0094] For example, parallel production can improve efficiency by processing two wires simultaneously, such as stranding, braiding, winding, welding, parallel wires, etc., which can increase output and is suitable for mass production.

[0095] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, in some embodiments, the wire harness 700 processing apparatus further includes a pair of conveying components 100, which are configured to respectively convey the wire harness 700 to the first clamping component 300, and the conveying speed of the conveying components 100 is adjustable.

[0096] In other words, a pair of independent conveying components 100 can each convey wire harness 700, and the conveying speed of the pair of conveying components 100 is adjustable, which increases the flexibility of processing. Among them, the adjustable conveying speed means that it can adapt to wire harnesses 700 of different sizes, maintain the tension of wire harnesses 700 consistently, avoid damage, and improve the overall processing quality.

[0097] In other words, for example, when processing and cutting wire harnesses 700 of different lengths, since the lengths of the two wire harnesses 700 are different, in order to ensure that the ends of the wire harnesses 700 are flush, it is necessary to use different conveying speeds for a pair of conveying components 100 to ensure that the cut ends of the two wire harnesses 700 are flush. This avoids the need to adjust the length of the other wire harness 700 after cutting one wire harness 700, resulting in higher overall work efficiency.

[0098] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 100 includes a pair of rotary mechanisms and an adjusting mechanism. The rotary mechanisms have rotary sections that are movable along a rotary path and extend along the rotary path end-to-end. The rotary sections of the pair of rotary mechanisms are arranged opposite to each other so that the gap between the rotary sections of the pair of rotary mechanisms forms a conveying channel. The adjusting mechanism is connected to at least one of the pair of rotary mechanisms and is configured to adjust the distance between the pair of rotary mechanisms.

[0099] In this embodiment, each rotary mechanism contains rotary sections that can move along a specific rotary path, and these sections are connected end-to-end to form a continuous moving track. This design allows the rotary sections to move flexibly in three-dimensional space, increasing the flexibility of the conveying path and making it suitable for complex layouts.

[0100] In this design, the rotating parts of a pair of rotating mechanisms are positioned opposite each other, with the gap between them forming a conveying channel. This cleverly utilizes the dynamic characteristics of the rotating mechanisms to naturally generate the movement path of the wire harness 700, reducing the need for complex external conveying devices. It should be noted that the wire harness 700 is clamped between the pair of rotating parts, thus utilizing the rotation of the rotating parts to convey the wire harness 700. Furthermore, the clamping force of the pair of rotating parts on the wire harness 700 prevents relative slippage between the wire harness 700 and the rotating parts, thus avoiding inaccurate conveying length of the wire harness 700.

[0101] In addition, the adjustment mechanism is connected to at least one rotary mechanism, which can adjust the distance between the rotary mechanisms. This means that the width of the conveying channel can be adjusted in real time according to the size of the wire harness 700, conveying requirements, or process requirements, improving adaptability and reducing friction or compression of the wire harness 700 during conveying.

[0102] For example, when using wire harnesses 700 of different diameters to transport, the distance between a pair of rotating parts can be adjusted according to the wire diameter of the wire harness 700, thereby matching the two. For instance, if the wire diameter of the wire harness 700 to be transported increases, the distance between the pair of rotating parts is increased by the adjustment mechanism; if the wire diameter of the wire harness 700 to be transported decreases, the distance between the pair of rotating parts is decreased by the adjustment mechanism.

[0103] Clearly, this configuration allows for precise control over the conveying process, including the guidance and speed of the wire harness 700. The intervention of the adjustment mechanism makes the overall conveying system not only highly adaptable but also capable of quickly responding to production changes, improving processing accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, this design not only accommodates wire harnesses 700 of different sizes and shapes but also allows for flexible adjustments at different process stages, such as pretreatment, assembly, cutting, and connection. This reduces equipment adjustment time when changing wire harnesses 700, improving the overall smoothness of the production line.

[0104] For example, the adjustment mechanism is configured as an electric push rod, and a pair of rotary mechanisms are mounted on the worktable, with the pair of rotary mechanisms side by side on the worktable surface. One rotary mechanism is connected to the worktable via the electric push rod, which can drive the rotary mechanism closer to or further away from the other rotary mechanism, thereby adjusting the distance between the pair of rotary parts. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjustment mechanism can also be an adjusting screw, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0105] Optionally, the rotary mechanism connected to the adjustment mechanism is connected to the worktable via a track, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the rotary mechanism's position adjustment. For example, the rotary mechanism connected to the adjustment mechanism is mounted on a base, which is connected to the worktable via a track extending in the opposing direction between a pair of adjustment mechanisms. The adjustment mechanism can drive the rotary mechanism connected to it to move in the opposing direction to move closer to or further away from the other rotary mechanism.

[0106] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, in some embodiments, the rotary mechanism includes a belt drive module and a first drive module. The belt drive module has a belt that forms a rotary part. The first drive module is connected to the belt drive module and is configured to drive the belt to rotate circumferentially.

[0107] In this embodiment, the belt drive module is a key component of the rotary mechanism, and its core lies in the belt used. As a flexible transmission element, the belt is designed in a loop structure, forming the rotary section. Furthermore, the belt material typically possesses wear-resistant and tensile strength properties, ensuring stability and durability during continuous movement. The wrapping of the belt forms a continuous rotary path, allowing the wire harness 700 clamped between the belts to move with the belt's rotation, thus achieving the conveying function.

[0108] Furthermore, the first drive module is closely connected to the belt drive module, providing the power source for the entire rotary mechanism. The first drive module has a built-in motor or other power drive device, capable of outputting sufficient torque to drive the belt to rotate continuously in its circumference. Moreover, through a precise control system, such as a frequency converter, the first drive module can accurately regulate the belt's rotation speed to meet the speed matching and control requirements under different conveying needs.

[0109] Clearly, the coordinated operation of the belt drive module and the first drive module not only ensures that the rotary mechanism can smoothly and continuously transport the wire harness 700, but also enables flexible control of the conveying process by adjusting the output of the first drive module. This design not only improves conveying efficiency but also enhances the adaptability and stability of the system, making it an indispensable precision component on automated production lines.

[0110] For example, the belt drive module includes a belt and a pair of pulleys, with the belt sleeved on the pair of pulleys, wherein the first drive module is used to drive the pulleys to rotate.

[0111] As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 5, in some embodiments, the wire harness 700 processing apparatus includes a processing component having a working position, the processing component being configured to process the wire harness 700 located at the working position; wherein the working position is located at the overlapping section.

[0112] Integrated processing components: The processing components are specifically designed for wire harness 700 processing. They not only perform various operations such as cutting, stripping, crimping, and threading, but also emphasize precision and efficiency in processing. This directly impacts finished product quality and production rate.

[0113] Specifically, the working position, the exact location where the processing component operates, is directly situated on the overlapping segment of the wire harness 700's movement trajectory. This means the processing point is carefully designed at the intersection where two wire harnesses 700 overlap, allowing for simultaneous processing, improving the continuity of connection and processing, and reducing subsequent steps. Furthermore, by setting the working position on the overlapping segment of the wire harnesses 700, this design enables simultaneous or continuous processing of two wire harnesses 700, making it particularly suitable for connection points requiring simultaneous processing. This not only reduces manual intervention but also improves processing accuracy, ensuring the reliability and quality of the wire harness 700 connection.

[0114] Furthermore, the precise positioning of the workstation at the overlapping section also signifies optimized device layout, utilizing the natural gaps along the wire harness 700 path to reduce equipment space occupancy. This is particularly important in automated production lines, implying more compact and efficient space utilization. The overall design demonstrates a high degree of automation logic, with the processing components and the wire harness 700's conveying, turning, and overlapping logic tightly integrated. This demonstrates the high level of automation in the entire wire harness 700 processing device design, adapting to large-scale, high-efficiency production, reducing human intervention, and improving production efficiency and consistency.

[0115] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, the processing component includes a cutting mechanism 400, which has a first working position capable of accommodating two wire harnesses 700. The cutting mechanism is capable of performing a cutting action on a pair of wire harnesses 700 within the working position.

[0116] In this embodiment, high-efficiency parallel processing and flexibility are particularly emphasized. For example, in the cutting process of wire harness 700, the processing component can accommodate two wire harnesses 700 at the same time. This means a significant improvement in processing efficiency, especially when processing a large number of wire harnesses 700, reducing the number of times a single unit is made and increasing the throughput of the production line.

[0117] The integrated cutting mechanism 400, the core of the design, directly performs cutting actions on the wire harness 700 in the workstation. The cutting mechanism 400 means that it can accurately and quickly switch between two wire harnesses 700 for operation, achieving continuous and efficient cutting and reducing waiting time.

[0118] Furthermore, the precise positioning of the working position to accommodate the wire harness 700 ensures accurate positioning and control. This precise alignment before the cutting action is crucial, guaranteeing cutting accuracy, preventing damage to the wire harness 700, and improving the quality of the finished product.

[0119] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism 400 and the working position accommodating two wire harnesses 700 are suitable for wire harnesses 700 of different sizes, lengths, and materials, enhancing the adaptability of the wire harness 700 production line and enabling it to meet changing production needs. It should be noted that the cutting mechanism 400 is used to obtain wire harnesses 700 of a fixed length.

[0120] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, the cutting mechanism 400 includes a pair of first cutting blade modules 410 and a second driving module 420. The first cutting blade modules 410 have cutting edges, and the cutting edges of the pair of first cutting blade modules 410 are arranged opposite each other in a first direction. A first working position is formed between the pair of cutting edges, and the first working position constitutes the working position. The second driving module 420 is connected to the pair of first cutting blade modules 410 respectively, and the second driving module 420 can drive at least one of the pair of first cutting blade modules 410 to move along the opposite direction between the pair of first cutting blade modules 410.

[0121] In this embodiment, two first cutting blade modules 410 are configured, each with a cutting edge. This design allows for simultaneous action on both sides of the wire harness 700, improving cutting efficiency. The cutting edges are opposite each other in the first direction, meaning they are arranged face-to-face, ensuring synchronous and symmetrical cutting.

[0122] The gap formed between the cutting edges of the pair of first cutting blade modules 410 is the first working position, which is the area where the wire harness 700 is actually cut. This design ensures the precise positioning of the wire harness 700, which is beneficial for controlling the cutting process and improving the quality of the finished product.

[0123] Each first cutting blade module 410 is connected to a second drive module 420, which is the power core and controls the movement of the first cutting blade module 410. It not only coordinates the movement of the cutters but also adjusts the movement of at least one cutting blade module as needed, ensuring dynamic adjustment and flexibility in the opposing direction. Furthermore, the second drive module 420 drives the first cutting blade module 410 to move in the opposing direction, ensuring precise cutting control, which can be linear or follow a specific path, suitable for complex wire harness layouts. Movement control is key to cutting accuracy and efficiency, reducing waste and improving overall production performance.

[0124] For example, the first cutting module 410 includes a cutting blade, and the second drive module 420 includes a bidirectional screw, a pair of nut seats, and a drive motor. The pair of nut seats are threaded to both ends of the bidirectional screw, and the main shaft of the drive motor is connected to the bidirectional screw, thereby driving the bidirectional screw to rotate. Each pair of nut seats is connected to a cutting blade. During operation, the drive motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, which in turn moves the pair of cutting blades in a first direction, allowing the cutting blades to move closer to or further apart.

[0125] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first cutting module 410 includes a cutting blade, and the second drive module 420 includes a one-way screw, a nut seat, and a drive motor. The nut seat is threadedly connected to the one-way screw, and the main shaft of the drive motor is connected to the one-way screw. The nut seat is connected to one of the cutting blades, while the other is fixedly positioned. During operation, the drive motor drives the one-way screw to rotate, thereby moving the cutting blade in a first direction and driving the pair of cutting blades closer to or further apart.

[0126] For example, the first direction is vertical. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first direction may be set to horizontal.

[0127] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 7, in some embodiments, the wire harness 700 processing device further includes a second clamping assembly 500 and a first pull-back assembly 600. The second clamping assembly 500 and the first clamping assembly 300 are located on both sides of the cutting mechanism 400, respectively. The second clamping assembly 500 is configured to clamp the two wire harnesses 700 clamped by the first clamping assembly 300. The second clamping assembly 500 and the first pull-back assembly 600 are connected, and the first pull-back assembly 600 is configured to drive the second clamping assembly 500 away from or towards the cutting mechanism 400.

[0128] In this embodiment, a dual-sided clamping mechanism is adopted, with the second clamping component 500 and the first clamping component 300 located on opposite sides of the cutting mechanism 400. This symmetrical layout ensures the balance and control of the wire harness 700. The second clamping component 500 can clamp the two wire harnesses 700 that have been fixed by the first clamping component 300, and this handover ensures a stable transition of the wire harnesses 700 in subsequent operations.

[0129] Additionally, the second clamping assembly 500 is connected to the first pull-back assembly 600, the latter's function being to dynamically adjust the position of the second clamping assembly 500. By driving, the second clamping assembly 500 can be moved away from or closer to the cutting mechanism 400. This is crucial in practical operation, such as ensuring the correct alignment of the wire harness 700 before cutting or releasing the wire harness 700 after cutting, thus improving efficiency.

[0130] The cutting process is readily understood as follows: Before cutting, the second clamping component 500 approaches and clamps the wire harness 700 for fixation. The first pull-back component 600 drives the second clamping component 500 away from the cutting mechanism 400, thus keeping the wire harness 700 taut and ensuring accurate cutting position. After cutting, the first pull-back component 600 drives the second clamping component 500 away, releasing the cut wire harness 700 for subsequent processing or material removal, reducing manual operation and improving continuity. Clearly, this design emphasizes precise control of the wire harness 700. From fixing and cutting to release, each step is automatically adjusted mechanically, reducing human error and ensuring cutting accuracy and production quality. It is particularly suitable for high-precision wire harness 700 processing, such as in the electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries.

[0131] For example, the first pullback assembly 600 includes a first linear motion module, and the first linear motion module may be a screw-type linear module, a linear motor-type linear module, a gear and rack-type linear module, a cylinder-driven linear module, etc., without specific limitations.

[0132] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the wire harness 700 processing apparatus further includes a second pull-back assembly 800, the first clamping assembly 300 is connected to the steering assembly 200 via the second pull-back assembly 800, and the second pull-back assembly 800 is configured to drive the first clamping assembly 300 away from or towards the cutting mechanism 400.

[0133] The second pull-back assembly 800 is connected to the first clamping assembly 300 via the steering assembly 200, forming a dynamic adjustment system. This connection allows for precise control of the first clamping assembly 300 during processing, including not only fixed position but also dynamic adjustment of the direction and distance of movement. For example, the second pull-back assembly 800 can drive the first clamping assembly 300 to move, inserting or removing two wire harnesses 700 from the processing assembly. Simultaneously, during cutting, it can cooperate with the second clamping assembly 500 to tighten the wire harness 700, ensuring the accuracy of the cutting position, guaranteeing the consistency of wire harness 700 processing, and improving the quality of the finished product.

[0134] For example, the second pullback assembly 800 includes a second linear motion module, and the second linear motion module may be a screw-type linear module, a linear motor-type linear module, a gear and rack-type linear module, a cylinder-driven linear module, etc., without specific limitations.

[0135] It should be noted that if the steering assembly 200 drives the first clamping assembly 300 to move along the third circular trajectory, the second pull-back assembly 800 is used to control the radial movement of the first clamping assembly 300 along the third circular trajectory, thereby ensuring that the two wire harnesses 700 have overlapping sections.

[0136] For example, the third circular trajectory is in the horizontal plane, that is, the steering component 200 drives the first clamping component 300 to move in the horizontal plane.

[0137] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, the processing assembly further includes a pair of wire stripping mechanisms and a second drive module 420. The pair of wire stripping mechanisms are located on both sides of the cutting mechanism 400 and are arranged side by side. The wire stripping mechanism includes a pair of second cutting blade modules, each having a wire stripping blade edge. The wire stripping blade edges of the pair of second cutting blade modules are arranged opposite each other in a first direction. The second drive module 420 is connected to the pair of second cutting blade modules and can drive at least one of the pair of second cutting blade modules to move along the first direction.

[0138] In this embodiment, a pair of wire stripping mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the cutting mechanism 400, forming a side-by-side layout. This optimizes the processing flow, facilitates the simultaneous processing of the wire harness 700 after cutting and immediate stripping, reduces transfer steps, and improves efficiency.

[0139] Each wire stripping mechanism features a second cutting module equipped with stripping blades. This design is specifically for stripping the insulation layer, ensuring precise cutting without damaging the conductor. The opposing blades ensure symmetrical and accurate stripping. Each second cutting module is connected to a second drive module 420, providing independent or coordinated control. This allows for the movement of one or both modules simultaneously, flexibly adapting to different wire harness specifications and improving processing speed and accuracy.

[0140] It should be noted that the second drive module 420 moves the second cutting module along the first direction, which controls the depth and position of the stripping, ensuring the accuracy of the stripping process. The processing assembly automates the cutting of the wire harness 700 and the stripping of both ends of the wire harness 700, improving processing accuracy and efficiency, and adapting to the needs of mass production.

[0141] For example, the second drive module 420 is configured as the first drive module, meaning they are the same component, which saves costs and reduces the number of components used. Alternatively, the second drive module 420 can be configured to have the same structure as the first drive module, meaning the entire device uses two first drive modules. Since the first drive module has already been described above, it will not be repeated here.

[0142] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, a tip is formed between adjacent stripping blades on the same second cutting module;

[0143] For example, the wire stripping mechanism can strip a pair of wire harnesses 700 at the same time. Generally, the stripping blade is set in a semi-circular shape, so that the pair of stripping blades can be made into a circle after the pair of second cutting blade modules are closed, so as to cut the adhesive layer on the outside of the wire harness 700, and cooperate with the first pull-back assembly 600 and the second pull-back assembly 800 to make the adhesive layer detach from the wire harness 700.

[0144] The tip helps to separate the two wire bundles 700 to guide them into different stripping blades.

[0145] It is easy to understand that each second cutting module has two stripping blades, and thus a pair of stripping blades on the second cutting module are arranged to correspond one-to-one.

[0146] Based on the above embodiment, the distance between a pair of cutting edges is less than the distance between a pair of stripping edges.

[0147] In other words, this structure allows you to cut the cable first and then strip it using the wire stripping blade.

[0148] For example, the second cutting module includes a wire stripper with two stripping edges, which form a W shape.

[0149] In some embodiments, the processing assembly further includes a bolt threading mechanism having a second working position for fitting a bolt onto the end of the wire harness 700 located at the second working position; and a wire harness 700 crimping mechanism having a third working position for crimping the bolt fitted onto the end of the wire harness 700 located at the third working position; wherein the first working position, the second working position, and the third working position are arranged sequentially along the overlapping section.

[0150] In other words, the working positions include the first working position, the second working position, and the third working position; the processing components include the cutting mechanism 400, the bolt threading mechanism, and the wire harness crimping mechanism.

[0151] In this embodiment, the bolting mechanism is specially equipped with a second working position to directly process the end of the wire harness 700 by fitting the bolt body. This step is crucial in automation, ensuring the accurate installation of the secure connectors of the wire harness 700, such as connectors, pins, and terminals.

[0152] Immediately following the bolt insertion, the wire harness 700 crimping mechanism has a third working position responsible for crimping the wire harness 700 at the end of the bolt. This is crucial for ensuring the stability, electrical continuity, and mechanical strength of the connection. Precrimping, through precise force control, ensures a tight fit between the bolt and the wire harness 700.

[0153] The first, second, and third working positions are sequentially set along the overlapping section of the wire harness 700, which means that the wire harness 700 is cut, threaded, and crimped in a continuous and coordinated path, reducing handling, optimizing the process, and improving efficiency and accuracy.

[0154] Furthermore, this design ensures precise positioning at every step, from cutting to threading and crimping, reducing errors and guaranteeing the processing quality of the wire harness 700. The continuous setup and tight coordination of each step enhance automation control.

[0155] For example, the steering component 200 drives the first clamping component 300 to move along the third circular trajectory, and the first working position, the second working position, and the third working position are set sequentially along the third circular trajectory.

[0156] Of course, it is not limited to the above-described embodiments; in other embodiments, only a bolting mechanism or a wire harness crimping mechanism may be provided, or other processing mechanisms may be provided.

[0157] Meanwhile, the first, second, and third working positions can be set sequentially along the third circular trajectory, or they can be set in other arrangements, as long as the first, second, and third working positions are all located on the third circular trajectory.

[0158] As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, in some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 300 includes a pair of first clamping jaws 340, a pair of second clamping jaws 350, and a pair of first driving mechanisms; wherein a first clamping channel is formed between the pair of first clamping jaws 340, and a second clamping channel is formed between the pair of second clamping jaws 350, and the first clamping channel and the second clamping channel are arranged side by side; the first driving mechanism is connected to the corresponding first clamping jaws 340 and second clamping jaws 350, and each first driving mechanism can drive the first clamping jaws 340 and second clamping jaws 350 connected to it to move along a second direction, both the first direction and the second direction being parallel to the cross-section of the first clamping channel.

[0159] In this embodiment, a dual-channel design is adopted, that is, a pair of first grippers 340 and a pair of second grippers 350 respectively form a first clamping channel and a second clamping channel, and are arranged side by side. This dual-channel design can adapt to wire harnesses 700 of different sizes and shapes, or process two wire harnesses 700 at the same time, thereby improving efficiency.

[0160] The first and second clamping channels are parallel to the cross-section of the wire harness 700, ensuring stable and undamaged clamping of the wire harness 700 and precise positioning, which is beneficial for subsequent processing such as cutting, threading, and crimping.

[0161] Each pair of first grippers 340 and second grippers 350 is connected by a corresponding first drive mechanism. Each first drive mechanism can independently control the first grippers 340 and second grippers 350 connected to it to move along a second direction, thereby realizing the closing or opening of a pair of first grippers 340 and controlling the closing or opening of a pair of second grippers 350.

[0162] In addition, both the first and second directions are parallel to the cross-section of the first clamping channel, which ensures the stability of clamping, controls the accuracy of the wire harness 700 during movement, reduces offset, and improves the overall processing accuracy.

[0163] Clearly, the flexibility of this design lies in its ability to accommodate various 700 wire harness sizes, the dual-channel parallel configuration for simultaneous processing, and the independent control of a pair of first drive mechanisms for processing flexibility.

[0164] As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, in some embodiments, the first driving mechanism includes a first base 310, a first adapter 370, a first connecting portion 360, and a first driving portion 330. A pair of first grippers 340 and a pair of second grippers 350 are hinged to the first base 310, and a first hinge point is formed between the first grippers 340 and the first base 310, and a second hinge point is formed between the second grippers 350 and the first base 310. Both the first hinge point and the second hinge point are located on a first preset axis, which extends along a third direction, and the first direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The first base 310 has a first guide groove 380. The first adapter 370 extends along a first circular path, with the center of the first circular path located at a first preset axis, and the first circular path and the preset axis are perpendicular to each other; the first adapter 370 has a second guide groove 320, which extends along the fourth direction, and the first direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction are perpendicular to each other; the first connecting part 360 is slidably engaged with the first guide groove 380 and the second guide groove 320 respectively, and the first connecting part 360 is rotatably connected with the corresponding side first gripper 340 and second gripper 350; the first driving part 330 and the first adapter 370 are configured to drive the first adapter 370 to move along the first direction.

[0165] In other words, by driving the first adapter seat 370 to move along the first direction through the first driving part 330, the first connecting part 360 can be driven to move along the second guide slide 320 and the first guide slide 380, thereby driving the first gripper 340 and the second gripper 350 connected thereto to rotate around the first preset axis. Thus, by using a pair of first driving mechanisms, the pair of first grippers 340 can be controlled to close or open, so as to control the pair of second grippers 350 to close or open.

[0166] For example, the first drive unit 330 is fixed to the first base 310, and the first drive unit 330 has a first telescopic end, which is connected to the second adapter.

[0167] For example, the first drive unit 330 is a pneumatic cylinder; of course, in other embodiments, it can also be set as an electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0168] For example, the first connecting part 360 is a rod, and the first connecting part 360 passes through the second guide groove 320 and the first guide groove 380; or, the first slider is slidably assembled in the first guide groove 380, the second slider is assembled in the second guide groove 320, and the first connecting part 360 is connected to the first slider and the second slider respectively.

[0169] As shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10, in some embodiments, a pair of first drive mechanisms share a first drive unit 330.

[0170] That is, the two first adapters of the two first drive mechanisms are fixedly connected, and the first drive unit 330 is connected to both first adapters at the same time, thereby reducing the weight of the first clamping assembly 300, which is conducive to reducing motion inertia and using precise control of the stop position accuracy.

[0171] As shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13, in some embodiments, the second clamping assembly 500 includes a wire splitter slider 540, a pair of third grippers 530, a second drive mechanism, and a third drive mechanism. The wire splitter slider 540 extends along the first direction and has a pointed end facing the wire harness 700. The pair of third grippers 530 are located on both sides of the wire splitter slider 540. The second drive mechanism is connected to the wire splitter slider 540 and is configured to drive the wire splitter slider 540 to move along the first direction. The wire splitter slider 540 is connected to the grippers through the third drive mechanism, and the third drive mechanism is configured to drive the grippers to move closer to or away from the wire splitter slider 540.

[0172] In this embodiment, after the conveying component 100 conveys the wire harness 700 through the cutting mechanism 400, the first clamping component 300 clamps a pair of wire harnesses 700. The second clamping component 500 uses the second driving mechanism to drive the wire splitting slider 540 to move toward the pair of wire harnesses 700, so as to separate the pair of wire harnesses 700 using the wire splitting slider 540. The third driving mechanism drives a pair of third grippers 530 to approach the wire splitting slider 540, thereby achieving stable clamping of the pair of wire harnesses 700.

[0173] As shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13, in some embodiments, the third driving mechanism includes a second base 520, a second adapter 550, a second connecting portion, and a second driving portion 510. A third gripper 530 and the second base 520 are hinged together to form a third hinge point, both located on a second preset axis extending along a fifth direction. The second base 520 also has a third guide groove 522 extending along a second circular path, the center of which is located on the second preset axis. The first adapter 550 is perpendicular to the second preset axis and the first preset axis is perpendicular to the first direction; the second adapter 550 has a fourth guide groove 551, which extends along the sixth direction, and the first direction, the fifth direction and the sixth direction are perpendicular to each other; the second connecting part is slidably engaged with the third guide groove 522 and the fourth guide groove 551 respectively, and the second connecting part is rotatably connected to the corresponding side third gripper 530; the second driving part 510 and the second adapter 550 are configured to drive the second adapter 550 to move along the first direction.

[0174] In this embodiment, the second driving unit 510 is fixed to the second base 520. The second driving unit 510 drives the second adapter 550 to move along the first direction. Then, through the third guide groove 522 and the fourth guide groove 551, the linear movement of the second adapter 550 can be converted into the action of driving the third gripper 530 to approach or move away from the dividing slider 540.

[0175] For example, the second drive unit 510 is a pneumatic cylinder; of course, in other embodiments, it may also be configured as an electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0176] For example, the second connecting part is a rod, which passes through the third guide groove 522 and the fourth guide groove 551; or, a third slider is slidably assembled in the third guide groove 522, a fourth slider is assembled in the fourth guide groove 551, and the second connecting part is connected to the third slider and the fourth slider respectively.

[0177] As shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13, in some embodiments, the second driving mechanism includes a second base 520, which has a fifth guide groove 521 extending along a first direction. The dividing slider 540 and the fifth guide groove 521 are slidably engaged. The dividing slider 540 also has a sixth guide groove 541 extending along a sixth direction. The second connecting portion and the second guide groove 520 are slidably engaged.

[0178] In this embodiment, the second connecting part enables the linkage of the dividing slider 540 without the need for an additional power unit. Specifically, the raising and lowering of the second connecting part can both drive the third gripper 530 to move closer to or further away from the dividing slider 540, and drive the dividing slider 540 to rise and fall.
