As shown in Figure 10 (A), pallet 110 is smooth shape, and many housing H are incorporated in pallet in the loose mode in the plane of mixed and disorderly state.As shown in Figure 10 (B), be formed with guide portion 111 on the limit (limit of front side) of a side of pallet 110.It is the shape that the side-glance shape while inserting posture matches that the side-glance shape of guide portion 111 has with housing H.As shown in Fig. 3 (C), the housing H that is applicable to the insertion apparatus of the present embodiment has: front surface H1, and it is formed with the C of chamber section; Stretch out sheet H2, its upper limb from front surface H1 forwards stretches out; Front teat H3, it is outstanding downwards continuously from front surface H1; And rear protrusion H4, it is outstanding downwards continuously from rear surface.Thereby as shown in Figure 10 (C), guide portion 111 has: stage portion 112, it stretches out sheet H2 for mounting; Wall section 113, itself and front surface H1 connect; And slot part 114, it embeds for front teat H3.
In the situation that the housing H in being accommodated in pallet 110 suitably takes out and is located in this guide portion 11, only at housing H, stretch out the mode that sheet H2 is placed on stage portion 112 front surface H1 is connected to when wall section 113 and front teat H3 have embedded the posture (front surface H1 is the posture at the rear on direction of insertion, below is called dorsad) of slot part 114 and just is sticked in this guide portion 111 for take.That is, housing H can be installed on to guide portion 111 with identical all the time posture.
As shown in Figure 9, straight forward moving parts feeder 120 configures mutually continuously with the outlet 111a of the guide portion 111 of pallet 110.As long as will be arranged in the housing H of guide portion 111, push towards parts feeder 120, just housing H can be inserted to the entrance of parts feeder 120 from the outlet 111a of the guide portion 111 of pallet 110.Parts feeder 120 is carried housing H towards the direction with the pallet opposite direction (right of accompanying drawing).
In the outlet of parts feeder 120, dispose housing connecting gear 130.With reference to Figure 11, Figure 12, Figure 13, housing connecting gear 130 is described.Figure 11, Figure 12 mean the vertical view of the structure of housing connecting gear 130.Figure 13 is the exploded perspective view of the structure of housing connecting gear 130.
After confirming to have supplied with reliably housing H, utilize housing connecting gear 130 that housing H is supplied to housing holding member 180.Housing connecting gear 130 has: transfer station 131, and it is formed with path, and this path is for carrying housing H with above-mentioned posture (posture dorsad); And two bars 151,153, it is for sending housing along path.
As shown in figure 13, transfer station 131 is rectangular-shaped piece section, and it has the smooth upper surface 133 be surrounded by outer wall 132.The height of upper surface 133 equates with the height of the outlet of parts feeder 120.Ratio outer wall 132 at upper surface 133 disposes size slightly in the inner part than the size of the plan view shape of transfer station 131 little one circle, smooth rectangular-shaped piece section 135.Utilize this piece section 135, can at the side by the parts feeder side of transfer station 131 and the side of front side, form the housing path formed by sidewall 132 divisions of the side of piece section 135 and transfer station 131 as shown in Figure 11.Path is the L font, has along the longitudinal passage 146 of direction of insertion extension and the cross walkway 147 roughly extended transversely orthogonally with this longitudinal passage 146.About equally, the width of cross walkway 147 and the length of housing H on depth direction are about equally for the width of longitudinal passage 146 and housing H length in the horizontal.The outlet of cross walkway 147 is towards housing holding member 180.
As Figure 11, shown in Figure 13, in the relative part of the outlet with parts feeder 120 of sidewall 132, be formed with the breach 132a of the entrance that becomes housing, housing H passes breach 132a from the path of parts feeder 120 and is supplied to longitudinal passage 146.Now, the posture when housing H is the guide portion 111 that is installed in pallet 110, the front surface H1 that namely is formed with the C of chamber section is towards dorsad posture.Housing H forwards advances in longitudinal passage 146 with this posture, then, to right, advances in cross walkway 147.
As shown in figure 11, in longitudinal passage 146, dispose can stretch, be used to transmitting vertical push rod 151 of housing H.At the vertical lower surface of the top ends of push rod 151, be formed with the groove 151a for storage case H.Vertically the groove 151a of push rod 151 is driven and flexible between position of readiness and extended position by not shown start cylinder, and this position of readiness refers to the position relative with the breach 132a of sidewall 132, and this extended position refers to the position of the top that arrives longitudinal passage 146.
Cross walkway 147 also dispose can stretch, be used to transmitting the horizontal push rod 153 of housing H.These cross walkway 147 places in the side opposite with housing holding member 180 of sidewall 132 are formed with breach 132b.Laterally push rod 153 is configured in the side of the cross walkway 147 of transfer station 131, and it passes in breach 132b inlet passage 147.Laterally push rod 153 is flexible between position of readiness and extended position, this position of readiness refers to that the top of horizontal push rod 153 is positioned at the breach 132b of sidewall 132 position when outside, and this extended position refers to the position when passing cross walkway 147 arrives housing holding member 180.Like this, laterally the distance of stretch out and draw back of push rod 153 is longer, and after the cross walkway 147 that runs through transfer station 131, pass as described later between guiding groove 181a, the 182a of housing holding member 180 (with reference to Figure 14), therefore, constitute and utilize as shown in Figure 9 two start cylinders 155,157 to make horizontal push rod 153 flexible with two stages.Namely, utilize each start cylinder to carry out the action in following two stages: to utilize one of them start cylinder to make horizontal push rod 153 pass the cross walkway 147 of transfer station 131, utilize wherein another start cylinder that horizontal push rod 153 is run through between the guiding groove of housing holding member 180, from aspects such as easy adjustment stroke distances, consider, this way is preferred.
Adopt such structure, from parts feeder 120, supply with the housing H come and be transferred as follows.
At first, as shown in Figure 11 (A), make the position of readiness standby of vertical push rod 151 in longitudinal passage 146, also make the position of readiness standby of horizontal push rod 153 in the outside of sidewall 132.When under this state, housing H(being used to shadow representation in the accompanying drawings) the breach 132a that passes sidewall 132 from parts feeder 120 is while being sent to transfer station 131, and housing H just is accommodated in the groove 151a of the vertical push rod 151 in longitudinal passage 146.Then, as shown in Figure 11 (B), make vertical push rod 151 be stretched to extended position, make housing H be delivered to the top of longitudinal passage 146.Afterwards, as shown in Figure 12 (A), horizontal push rod 153 is stretched in cross walkway 147.Thus, vertically the side of the housing H in the groove 151a of push rod 151 is by laterally push rod 153 pushings, advances in cross walkway 147 with posture dorsad, final as shown in Figure 12 (B), is transferred into housing holding member 180 from cross walkway 147.
This housing connecting gear 130 comprises the housing testing agency 140 of detecting for the housing H to coming from parts feeder 120 supplies.With reference to Figure 13, housing testing agency 140 is described.
It is smooth rectangular-shaped that piece section 135 is as shown in Figure 13, is being formed with the outstanding stage portion 136 to foreign side by the side of parts feeder side.The height of stage portion 136 is half left and right of the height of piece section 135.At through hole 137 face in the outside of this stage portion 136, that position that face mutually with the breach 132a of the outer wall 132 of transfer station 131 has path.On the other hand, on the lower surface of piece section 135, be formed with lower surface is dug out to the groove 138 that a part forms in the mode of crossing piece section 135.Path through hole 137 is connected with this groove 138.In piece section 135, be fixed under the state of upper surface 133 of transfer station 131, between the upper surface 133 of groove 138 and transfer station 131, form the path of passage shape.The end of groove 138 is connected with the through hole 141 of offering on transfer station 131.On this through hole 141, be connected with the vacuum ejector for example from negative pressure generator 160() pipe 161 that extends out.When vacuum generator 160 work, via pipe 161, making becomes negative pressure in through hole 141, passage shape path (groove 138) and the path through hole 137 of transfer station 131.Now, if having housing H in the outside of path through hole 137, the outlet meeting of path through hole 137 is stopped up by housing H, remains negative pressure state in above-mentioned through hole.On the other hand, if there is not housing, the outlet of path through hole 137 is open state, is atmospheric pressure state in through hole.
That is, detect by the pressure in above-mentioned through hole, can detect in the outside of path through hole 137 whether have housing.Therefore, negative pressure for example digital pressure sensor of pressure sensor 162(is installed on vacuum generator 160), can detect the pressure in through hole.As an example, the detection range of this routine pressure sensor 162 is-101.3kPa～1MPa.The pressure detected utilize not shown control part to judge the pressure detected, if for example, housing can be detected and be supplied to assigned position for the pressure that Set arbitrarily is good following (-10kPa is following).
In this detection method, owing in order to make housing H stop up the outlet of path through hole 137, housing H is contacted with the outer surface of stage portion 136, and if space between the two is excessive can't remain negative pressure state, therefore utilize this detection method can detect more accurately the existence of housing H.
Like this, housing detection part 140 is for detection of the existence of the terminal part place housing at parts feeder 120.Like this, detect by the terminal part at parts feeder 120, can be as the action commencing signal of the housing connecting gear in subsequent processing.
Then, with reference to Figure 14, housing holding member 180 is described.
Housing holding member 180 has: a pair of guiding elements 181,182, and it is for clamping housing H from above-below direction; Driver 185, it is be used to making guiding elements 181,182 move to direction close to each other and the direction that is separated from each other; And locator 187, it is be used to making driver 185 rotate around the terminal direction of insertion.Below housing holding member 180, dispose the conveyer belt (not shown) for the output of the wire harness by having manufactured.
Each guiding elements 181,182 is smooth rectangular-shaped member, is formed with for guiding groove 181a guide housing H, that extend transversely, 182a on mutually relative inner surface.The end of the side of guiding groove 181a, 182a (left side of Figure 14 (A)) configures in the consecutive mode of outlet of the cross walkway 147 with transfer station 131.The top of this guiding groove 181a, 182a (right-hand member of accompanying drawing) is housing holding position (terminal insertion position P2).
This driver 185 also can be used the driver that is known as parallel pawl.This driving implement has linear guide portion and two slide blocks that fasten and slide with this guide portion, and each slide block synchronously approaches with respect to center or separates.Each guiding elements 181,182 is fixed in each slide block.When two slide blocks near the time, can between guiding groove 181a, the 182a of each guiding elements 181,182, keep housing H.But the front surface of each guiding elements 181,182 is not contact fully, empty space of opening the C of the chamber section exposure that only can make housing H between two front surfaces.When each guiding elements 181,182 separates, thereby housing H is decontroled in open gap between guiding groove 181a, the 182a of each guiding elements.
Driver 185 is linked to the rotating shaft of locator 187, can around the axis of electric wire, rotate for example 90 °.That is the direction that, can make guiding groove 181a, 182a from horizontal direction towards vertical direction.At guiding groove 181a, 182a, being rotated into after vertical direction, when each guiding elements 181,182 separates, being inserted with the housing H(wire harness after terminal) bootstrap member 181,182 breaks away from and utilizes its deadweight to drop on the conveyer belt of below.
Like this, after terminal inserted the end of job, housing holding member 180 half-twists also opened guiding elements 181,182, make housing H utilize deadweight to fall.But, in order to make more reliably housing H, break away from from housing holding member 180, above housing holding member 180, be supported with can move up and down send 191.As shown in Figure 14 (B), send 191 tops that are arranged on the bar 193 of the start cylinder 192 set along the vertical direction, be accompanied by the flexible of start cylinder 192, send between the upper position (being meaned by solid line in (B) of Figure 14) of top of a upper/lower positions at 191 rears at housing holding member 180 (being illustrated by the broken lines in (B) of Figure 14) and these parts 180 and move up and down.Owing to can utilizing this to send 191 wiring harness that will insert housing H, release downwards from housing holding member 180, even therefore, in the situation that housing holding member 180 half-twists but do not break away from from these parts 180 because some impact causes housing H, also can reliably housing H be released.
Then, to the terminal insert action of the terminal inserting apparatus of the present invention explanation of summarizing.
