One end of the rotation mechanism 42 is fixed to the upper surface 3a of the assembly table 3, and the other end is fixed to the upper surface 4a of the support table 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first posture support member 43 maintains the assembly table 3 in the first posture state. The first posture support member 43 is formed at the end portion on the back side of the base body portion 41 in the back direction. The first posture support member 43 in the present embodiment is formed so as to extend upward from the upper surface 4a of the support base 4, and the upper end surface extends from the back end to the front end. It is formed on an inclined surface 43a that inclines downward. Here, the base body portion 31 is rotatably supported by the rotation mechanism 42 with respect to the support base 4, but when it rotates toward the back side, the upper end portion comes into contact with the inclined surface 43a. As a result, rotation toward the back side is restricted. That is, the assembly table 3 maintains the first posture by the first posture support member 43. Here, the first posture is a posture in which the opening 2a faces the assembly table 3 in the first working direction when viewed from the arrangement direction. The first work in the present embodiment is a work in which a worker inserts and fixes a terminal fitting (not shown) of the wiring material E into the connector C held by the connector receiving device 2A through the opening 2a. .. The first working direction refers to a direction suitable for the worker when fixing the wiring material E to the connector C. The first working direction is a direction in which the direction in which the line of sight is dropped is orthogonal to the opening 2a when a worker standing so as to face the front end of the support base 4 drops his / her line of sight downward. That is, the direction is parallel to the insertion direction (including almost parallel).

As shown in FIG. 5, the second posture support member 44 maintains the assembly table 3 in the second posture. The second posture support member 44 is formed at the front end of the first posture support member 43 in the front direction. The second posture support member 44 in the present embodiment is formed so as to extend upward from the upper surface 4a of the support base 4. Here, the base body portion 31 is rotatably supported with respect to the support base 4 by the rotation mechanism 42, but when it is rotated toward the front side, the downward side end portion becomes the second posture support member 44. By contacting with, the rotation toward the front side is restricted. That is, the assembly table 3 maintains the second posture by the second posture support member 44. Here, the second posture is a posture in which the opening 43 faces the assembly table 3 in the second working direction when viewed from the arrangement direction. The second operation in the present embodiment is an operation of binding a plurality of the wiring materials E among the wiring materials E fixed to the connector C held by the connector receiving device 2A by the worker. The second work direction is a direction that is more horizontal than the first work direction, that is, toward the depth direction, and is a direction suitable for the worker when the plurality of wiring materials E are bound by a binding member (not shown). To say. The second working direction is orthogonal to the worker standing so as to face the front end of the support base 4 and the wiring material E (direction orthogonal to the opening 2a) when viewed from the arrangement direction. Direction (including direction that is almost orthogonal).

In the auxiliary assembly table 5, a plurality of connector receiving devices 2B are arranged in the arrangement direction. The auxiliary assembly table 5 is made of wood and is a rectangular flat plate whose arrangement direction is the longitudinal direction. The auxiliary assembly table 5 is arranged on at least one direction side in the vertical direction of the assembly table 3, and in the present embodiment, on the upward side with respect to the assembly table 3. The auxiliary assembly table 5 in the present embodiment is fixed to the inclined surface 43a of the first posture support member 43 by, for example, a fixing member. That is, the auxiliary assembly base 5 is fixed to the support base 4 in a state where the rotation with respect to the support base 4 is restricted, and a plurality of connector receiving devices 2B are fixed to the upper surface 5a. In the present embodiment, the auxiliary assembly table 5 is arranged on the upward side of the assembly table 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the auxiliary assembly table 5 is arranged on the downward side or in both the upward and downward directions. It may be placed on the side.

Next, the assembly of the wire harness WH by the wire harness assembly jig 1 will be described. Here, the assembly table 3 is in the first posture, and the connector C is held by the connector receiving devices 2A and 2B. Further, since the first posture position in which the assembly table 3 is in the first posture and the position in which the second posture is in the second posture are different from the fixed pedestal 101, the first work performed in the first posture The second work performed in the second posture may be performed by a different worker or a worker facing the assembly table 3 in the first posture position by moving to the second posture position.

First, the worker faces the front end of the wire harness assembly jig 1 in the depth direction. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the worker fixes the wiring material E to the connector C with the assembly table 3 in the first posture. Specifically, the worker grips the wiring material E, inserts a metal terminal into the cavity of the connector C exposed from the opening 2a, and fixes the wiring material E to the connector C.

Next, the worker switches the assembly table 3 from the first posture to the second posture as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Specifically, the worker grips the handle 32 and pulls the assembly table 3 toward the front. The assembly table 3 is rotated from the first posture toward the front side by the rotation mechanism 42 when the worker applies an external force, and the base body 31 comes into contact with the second posture support member 44. Move to the second posture.

Next, the worker binds a plurality of the wiring members E fixed to the connector C with a binding member (not shown) while the assembly table 3 is in the second posture.

Next, the worker switches the assembly table 3 from the second posture to the first posture as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Specifically, the worker grips the handle 32 and pushes the assembly table 3 inward. The assembly table 3 is rotated from the second posture toward the back by the rotation mechanism 42 when the worker applies an external force, and the base body 31 comes into contact with the first posture support member 43. Move to the first posture.

Next, the worker removes the assembled wire harness WH from the wire harness assembly jig 1. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the worker changes the lever 38 of the release mechanism 34 from the closed position to the open position. At this time, the shaft 35 rotates with respect to the shaft receiver 36 in the R1 direction, which is the opening direction. The connecting member 37 is wound around the shaft 35 by rotating the shaft 35 in the R1 direction. When the connecting member 37 is wound around the shaft 35, an external force that brings the connecting member 37 closer to the shaft 35 acts on the first member 22 of each connector receiving device 2A. When this external force opposes the urging force of the urging member 24, the first member 22 is rotated upward with respect to the base 25 by the rotation mechanism 26. When the first member 22 rotates, the rear end portion 22b comes into contact with the rear end portion 23b, and an external force that keeps the second member 23 away from the first member 22 acts on the second member 23. When this external force opposes the urging force of the urging member 24, the second member 23 is rotated downward with respect to the base 25 by the rotating mechanism 26. As a result, the first member 22 and the second member 23 are separated from each other, so that the opening 2a is not formed, and all the insertion openings 21a of the main body 21 are exposed to the outside. At this time, the lock pin 39a of the lock mechanism 39 is moved downward so that the lock pin 39a and the pin receiver 33 face each other in the depth direction and come into contact with each other. As a result, in the connector receiving device 2A, the first member 22 and the second member 23 are separated from each other, and all of the insertion openings 21a of the main body 21 are exposed to the outside. At this time, since the urging member 24 exerts a rotational force in the R2 direction, which is the closing direction, on the shaft 35, when the worker stops gripping the lever 38, the release mechanism 34 automatically starts from the open state. Attempts to transition to the closed state. If the lock pin 39a and the pin receiver 33 are in contact with each other, the rotation of the shaft 35 in the R2 direction is restricted, and the open state of the release mechanism 34 is maintained.

Further, although not shown, in the connector receiving device 2B as well, as in the connector receiving device 2A, the first member 22 and the second member 23 are separated from each other, so that all the insertion ports 21a of the main body 21 are exposed to the outside. Let me. By exposing the insertion ports 21a of the connector receiving devices 2A and 2B to the outside, all the connectors C held in each main body 21 can be pulled out from the main body 21, and the wire harness WH can be pulled out from the main body 21. It can be removed from 1.

When the wire harness WH is continuously assembled by the wire harness assembly jig 1, the worker attaches a new connector C to each main body 21 while the insertion ports 21a of the connector receiving devices 2A and 2B are exposed to the outside. Each is inserted into the insertion port 21a. After holding the connector C in the connector receiving devices 2A and 2B, the worker moves the lock pin 39a of the lock mechanism 39 upward, and ends the contact between the lock pin 39a and the pin receiving device 33. The release mechanism 34 shifts from the open state to the closed state. As a result, in the connector receiving device 2A, the first member 22 and the second member 23 approach each other and come into contact with each other, and the insertion port 21a of the main body 21 is partially exposed by the opening 2a.

As described above, the wire harness assembly jig 1 according to the present embodiment has a posture suitable for the work of the worker performing the wire harness WH in the process of assembling the wire harness WH, that is, the wire harness WH, particularly the connector. It is possible to switch between the first posture suitable for the first work of fixing the wiring material E to C and the second posture suitable for the second work of binding the plurality of wiring materials E with the binding member. Therefore, the wire harness WH in the process of assembly can be in a posture suitable for the work performed by the worker.

Further, in the wire harness assembly jig 1 according to the present embodiment, the first member 22 and the second member 23 of each connector receiving device 2A can be switched between the open state and the closed state by the release mechanism 34. That is, one release mechanism 34 can switch the first member 22 and the second member 23 of all the connector receiving devices 2A between the open state and the closed state. Therefore, the work efficiency of the wire harness WH assembly work can be improved as compared with the case where the worker opens the first member 22 and the second member 23 of each connector receiving device 2A.

Further, in the wire harness assembly jig 1 according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary assembly table 5 is fixed in a state where the rotation is restricted with respect to the support base 4, and a plurality of connector receiving devices 2B are fixed to the auxiliary assembly table 5. Has been done. Therefore, the connector receiving device 2B cannot be switched from the posture suitable for the first work to another posture. As a result, in assembling the wire harness WH, the connector receiving device 2B, which does not need to be switched from the first posture to the second posture when performing the second work, is fixed to the auxiliary assembly table 5, so that the connector receiving device 2A, Compared with the case where all of 2B is fixed to the assembly table 3, the total weight of the assembly table 3 for switching the posture can be reduced. That is, the posture of the assembly table 3 can be easily switched by the worker, and the work efficiency of the wire harness WH assembly work can be improved.
