X-axis traveling rail 3 which is arranged orthogonal to the axis traveling rail 3
And a wire feeding head 5 guided by the Z-axis traveling rail 4.

The electric wire feeding head 5 includes an electric wire reel 6,
The feeding mechanism 7 and the guide nozzle 8 are provided, and the wire stored in the wire reel 6 is fed to the feeding mechanism 7 and the guide nozzle 8.
After that, wiring is performed on the form board 9 along guide pins 10 corresponding to electric wire positioning pins.

Here, the feeding mechanism 7 is used to feed the electric wire 1
A pair of feed rollers 11 sandwiching the feed roller 2 from the opposite direction are provided, one of which is a driving roller driven by a motor (not shown) in synchronization with the operation mechanism 1.

Although the feed roller 11 is not shown in the drawing, urethane rubber having excellent flexibility is coated on each roller surface which frictionally engages with the electric wire 12 to form a feed surface of the electric wire 12. It is configured to be mounted.

The urethane rubber is not partially attached to the feeding surface of the electric wire 12 but may be formed entirely of urethane rubber instead of the feeding roller. The material is not limited to urethane rubber, but may be replaced with another material as long as it is an elastic material having similar flexibility.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a spring, which is interposed in at least one of the installation portions of the pair of rollers in the direction opposite to the feed roller 11, so that the support portion of the feed roller 11
It expands and contracts using the elasticity of the spring 13 to support the electric wire 12.

Referring to FIG. 3, the flow of the operation of the automatic wiring apparatus in the present embodiment constructed as described above will be described. A control personal computer 51 which stores a wiring database and a control panel connected thereto are described. The movement of the electric wire feeding head 5 is started by a start (START) command generated by the cooperative operation with 50 and an intended operation command set in the wiring database.

Here, the wire feeding head 5 is moved along the X-axis running rail 3 and the Y-axis running rail 2 to the wiring start address defined on the X and Y coordinates. Since the supply head 5 has been moved to the ascending position in advance along the Z-axis traveling rail 4, the height of the foam board 9,
Or guide pins 10 installed on the form board 9
Is properly moved without any obstacles to
When the movement is completed, the θ axis 21 is oriented in the traveling direction.

When the wiring start address set in this way is reached, the wire feeding head 5 moves to the normal operating position.
It descends along the axis running rail 4, and the running of the wire feeding head 5 is started from this position, and the wire feeding is started.
It is preferable that the wire feeding speed and the running speed of the wire feeding head 5 match, and the feeding roller 11 is adjusted so as to run in synchronization with the wire feeding head 5.

In accordance with a predetermined command set in the wiring database, the wire feeding head 5 moves the guide pin 10 at the next position.
At the position of the guide pin 10 to check and determine a bending point.

At the bending position indicated by the presence of the guide pin 10, the electric wire feeding head 5 is rotated around the θ-axis 21 so that the electric wire feeding head 5 is directed in the traveling direction toward the next position in the vicinity of the bending point. Is rotated.

The running speed of the feed roller 11 and the turning speed around the θ-axis 21 are adjusted to be synchronized.

The wire feeding head 5 which has hit the guide pin 10 and bends in this way travels in a predetermined direction in search of the presence of the next guide pin 10 on its traveling path, and goes to a new guide pin 10. If it hits, it will bend again as before.

When such operation is continued and the guide pin 10 is lost, that is, when there is no bending point, the vehicle travels to the wiring end point, and further travels to the stroke end of the X and Y axes (wiring end address). The expected wiring work will be completed.

At this position, the electric wire feeding head 5 is moved to the ascending position again along the Z-axis running rail 4, and even if the electric wire feeding head 5 moves on the XY coordinates, the guide pins 10 are moved.
Then, it returns to the original position without any hindrance without being hindered by the above, and the intended wiring work is completed (END).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in addition to the movement on the plane restricted by the X-axis traveling rail 3 and the Y-axis traveling rail 2, the movement on the Z-axis traveling rail 4 perpendicular to the same plane is achieved. Since the movement and the rotation about the θ-axis 21 corresponding to the rotation about the Z-axis are enabled, the movement of the electric wire feeding head 5 to the start position of the wiring work and the movement from the end position of the wiring work are performed. Removal, return movement, rotation of the wire feeding head 5 around the guide pin 10, and the like can be performed smoothly, stably, and reliably.

The electric wire 12 is a feed roller 11 made of urethane rubber or made of urethane rubber, and
Since the spring 13 is interposed in the installation portion of the feeding roller 11, the feeding roller 11 has improved feeding surface flexibility.

That is, since the outer diameter of the electric wire 12 varies as the number of types of the electric wire 12 to be laid increases, it may be necessary to replace the electric wire 12 with a roller corresponding to the diameter every time the outer diameter changes. However, according to the present embodiment, if the gap between the rollers is set to an appropriate gap with respect to the minimum outer diameter of the electric wire to be wired, the roller works flexibly even in feeding a thick electric wire, so that one kind of the electric wire is provided. Many kinds of electric wires can be stably fed by the rollers.

Further, since the material of the feeding roller is excellent in flexibility and the supporting portion is elastically supported,
Since the surface of the electric wire is not forced, it is possible to expect not only to be able to process various kinds of wires having various diameters, but also to prevent the wire from being damaged.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an essential part of a feed mechanism and the like in the automatic wire wiring apparatus according to the present embodiment.

In order to reliably apply the tension in the reverse direction, an auxiliary roller is disposed upstream of the correction roller 22 as shown in FIG.
It is preferable to form the above-mentioned convex shape by a point roller method and apply tension in the direction opposite to the curl.

According to the present embodiment, when the electric wires 12 are laid on the foam board, the electric wires 12 rise and spread from the foam board as they are due to the twisting and winding habits of the electric wires 12. By installing a three-point roller type curl correcting mechanism centered on the correcting roller 22, the wire 12 coming out of the wire reel 6 is corrected by applying a tension in a direction opposite to the curl.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to correct the twist and curl of the electric wire 12 and to feed the electric wire 12 at the same time, and to reduce the lifting and spreading of the electric wire 12 from the foam board.
