Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present utility model will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.

As shown in fig. 3, a wire conveying mechanism of a conventional wire cutting device adopts a double-trough structure, that is, a device firstly places cut wires in a turnover trough 2 which can be placed down from a wire feeding area 1, when the yield reaches a count, the turnover trough 2 dumps the wires in a finished product trough 3, and then staff tidies and circles the finished product wires in the finished product trough 3; the whole dumping and returning process of the turnover trough 2 takes about 3 seconds, and the wire cutting machine must be stopped for waiting at this time because the receiving trough is not present in the period of time.

In view of this drawback, the present utility model proposes a cutting device with zero downtime. As shown in fig. 1, a small auxiliary trough 5 is arranged above a turnover trough 2, and when wires in the turnover trough 2 reach one wire rapidly through electrical control, the auxiliary trough 5 is lifted, auxiliary receiving realizes wire connection, and the turnover trough 2 topples over wires, so that the wire cutting machine does not need to stop working, and the time of 3 seconds wasted in the original process is saved; the time for processing each wire cutting machine is generally about 100 seconds; therefore, the equipment is stopped for 3 seconds after each line is processed originally, and the yield is increased by approximately 3% by adding the auxiliary material groove;

specifically, the zero-downtime cutting device provided by the utility model further comprises a cutting machine controller, a cutting machine executing mechanism, an auxiliary groove turning controller, an auxiliary groove turning pushing cylinder 6, an turnover groove turning pushing cylinder 4, data acquisition software and the like, as shown in fig. 2.

The data acquisition software is deployed on the cutting machine controller and is used for acquiring the number of each wire currently produced; the cutter controller is used for controlling the cutter executing mechanism to cut the wire harness.

The auxiliary turning controller is used for controlling the auxiliary turning pushing cylinder 6 and the turnover turning pushing cylinder 4 and carrying out logic processing;

the auxiliary turning pushing cylinder 6 is used for pushing the auxiliary trough 5, so that the auxiliary trough 5 is connected with the conducting wires conveyed by the conducting wire feeding area 1 in the process of putting down and lifting up the turnover trough 2;

the working principle of the utility model is as follows: the data acquisition software acquires the data of the number of each wire produced by the current cutting machine and transmits the data to the auxiliary groove turning controller through the data cable;

as shown in fig. 4-5, the auxiliary turning-over controller provides the continuous production instruction of the cutting machine by comparing the actual number with each set number, shields the shutdown between the completion of the original wire cutting, lifts the auxiliary trough 5 and puts down the turnover trough 2 when the wire cutting is completed, the wires in the turnover trough 2 drop into the finished trough 3, the auxiliary trough 5 temporarily receives the wires transmitted by the wire feeding area 1, then lifts up the turnover trough 2 and puts down the auxiliary trough 5, the wires in the auxiliary trough 5 drop into the turnover trough 2, and the turnover trough 2 continuously receives the wires transmitted by the wire feeding area 1, and the operation is repeated continuously to realize zero shutdown;

the control of the turnover trough 2 is changed from the original cutter controller to an auxiliary trough turning controller.
