DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a receiver for a wire harness with a connector, in which connectors are respectively connected to both ends of a wire bundle by a pressure welding device and then sequentially sent out from the connector. The present invention relates to a receiver for a wire harness with a connector, which can easily inspect the press-contact state of a wire bundle and remove defective products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pressure welding apparatus for manufacturing a wire harness with a connector by pressing a connector to both ends of an electric wire bundle is provided with a receiver for a wire harness with a connector that sends out and sequentially stores the completed wire harness with a connector. ing.

As shown in FIG. 3, this receiver has a pair of receiving bars 51 provided with slide grooves 52 for receiving connectors B connected to both right and left sides of a wire bundle A so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, respectively. And a cover 53 attached to the receiving bar 51 so as to cover the upper surface of the connector B received by the receiving bar 51. The connector-attached wire harness sent out from the press-contact device is connected to the connector B by the slide. It slides sequentially forward while fitted in the groove 52, so that a predetermined number of wire harnesses with connectors can be stored.

[0004]

The receiving bar 51 and the cover 53 are usually formed of a metal such as iron or aluminum. In general, when the wire harnesses with connectors are stored, an operator takes them out of the receiver and visually inspects one by one whether or not the pressure contact state of the wire bundle terminal with respect to the connector is normal. .

Therefore, when a defective product is found, a predetermined number of normal wire harnesses with a connector cannot be secured unless a new wire harness with a connector is taken out and inspected for the number of defective products.

Further, as described above, a predetermined number of wire harnesses with connectors are taken out of the receiver and each one is taken out.
In the case of inspecting one, since the inspection takes a long time, the inspection speed is often slower than the speed at which the product is sent out from the pressure welding device, and there is also a problem that the pressure welding device has to be temporarily stopped in some cases.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to simultaneously inspect while storing a wire harness with a connector sent out from a pressure welding device, and when a defective product is found, immediately remove only the defective product. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wire harness receiver with a connector.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pair of receiving bars having a slide groove for receiving connectors connected to both right and left sides of an electric wire bundle so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. A transparent cover attached to the receiving bar so as to cover the upper surface of the connector received by the receiving bar, and a transparent cover attached to the receiving bar so as to cover the upper surface of the connector received by the receiving bar. And a connector for a wire harness with a connector provided with a transparent connector take-out door.

Further, it is preferable that the cover and the take-out door are formed of an acrylic plate, and a handle is provided.

[0010]

In the receiver of the wire harness with the connector configured as described above, the press-contact state of the wire bundle end to the connector through the transparent cover is visually checked in a state where the wire harness with the connector is stored in the receiving bar. Inspect and if there is any defective product, when it comes to the position of the removal door, open the removal door and take out the defective product.

[0011]

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connector wire harness receiver 1 manufactures a connector wire harness by pressing the connectors B to both ends of a wire bundle A, respectively, and sequentially sends out the connector wire harness. It is attached to the pressure welding device, and includes a receiving bar 10, a cover 20, and an extraction door 30.

The receiving bar 10 has one end side extending from a position corresponding to both connectors B of the connector-attached wire harness to be sent out in the sending direction of the connector-attached wire harness indicated by an arrow in FIG. The connector B is attached to the pressure welding device, and a slide groove 11 into which the connector B is slidably fitted is formed on an upper surface thereof.

The depth of the slide groove 11 is slightly deeper than the height of the connector B.
The side wall 12 on the wire bundle side of the connector B constituting the connector 1 is formed low so that the terminal portion of the wire bundle A can be received substantially horizontally with the connector B fitted in the slide groove 11.

The cover 20 is a transparent acrylic plate, and is fixed to the upper surface of the receiving bar 10 except for the central portion in the longitudinal direction so that one side of the cover 20 extends to the central portion of the slide groove 11. I have.

The take-out door 30 is formed of the same transparent acrylic plate as the cover 20 which is slightly wider than the connector B. A hinge is provided at the center of the receiving bar 10 where the cover 20 is not provided. It is attached so that it can be opened and closed by 31. A handle 32 is attached to the upper surface of the take-out door 30.

In the receiver 1 of the wire harness with the connector configured as described above, the connector B of the wire harness with the connector sent from the press-contact device is automatically fitted into the slide groove 11 of the receiving bar 10. The wiring harness with the connector is stored sequentially. In addition,
Since the upper surface of the connector B is covered by the cover 20, the connector B is prevented from falling off from the slide groove 11.

At this time, the pressure contact portion of the wire bundle A against the connector B can be visually checked through the transparent cover 20, so that it is possible to inspect whether or not the wire bundle is defective. If there is a defective product, when the wire harness with connector comes to the center, the take-out door 30 is opened with the handle 31 and can be easily taken out.

Although only one take-out door 30 is provided at the center of the receiving bar 10, the position and number thereof are not particularly limited.

In this embodiment, the take-out door 30 for taking out defective products is provided. However, even if no take-out door is provided, a cover that can be opened and closed over the entire length of the receiving bar 10 is provided. As soon as a defective product is found, the cover can be opened and the defective product can be taken out. However, it is necessary to prevent the product from falling off when the cover is opened.

[0020]

As described above, the receiver for a wire harness with a connector according to the present invention employs a configuration in which the cover is transparent and the take-out door is provided, so that defective products can be inspected at the same time as products are stored. It is possible to perform the inspection, and if a defective product is found, only the defective product can be removed from the extraction door, which improves the workability of the inspection and also makes it necessary to temporarily stop the insulation displacement device during the inspection as in the past. Absent.
