Then, by inserting the locking member 21 into the engagement hole 22 of the fourth slide jig plate 15, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 are aligned in a planar shape. As a result, the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are mechanically coupled at the time of deployment, so that each slide jig plate 12, 13, and 14 at the time of deployment. , 15 can be prevented from being distorted and the dimensional accuracy can be improved.

Next, a method for manufacturing a wire harness using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 will be described.
First, the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 is set to a state before deployment (see FIG. 1). The set in the state before unfolding means that the left side of the second slide jig plate 13 is placed on the lower side of the first slide jig plate 12 and the third slide jig is placed on the lower side of the second slide jig plate 13 This is performed by overlapping the left side of the plate 14 and overlapping the left side of the fourth slide jig plate 15 below the third slide jig plate 14. Then, by pressing the lock pile 20, the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are positioned at the pre-deployment positions. At this time, the second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 13, 14, and 15 are brought into contact with the column 16 by inserting the columns 16 and 16 into the notches 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36. Positioning.

  In this pre-deployment state, the connector 51 of the sub-assembly wire harness 50 that has been carried from the sub-assembly wire harness assembly process onto the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15. Are placed, and each branch line 52 in the vicinity of each connector 51 and each branch line 52 drawn from each connector 51 are connected to the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 is hooked on each branch line holding member 24, and the main line 53 is hooked on each main line holding member 23 on the first, second, third and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15. The

  Moreover, in this state before expansion | deployment, between 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th slide jig | tool plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 is compressed compared with the horizontal direction dimension at the time of expansion | deployment. Therefore, the main line holding members 23 are close to each other, and the main line 53 hangs down to the worker side.

  Subsequently, the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 is deployed (see FIG. 3). In the deployment, when the operator slides the fourth slide jig plate 15 to the left, the upward hook 30 of the fourth slide jig plate 15 is locked to the downward hook 29 of the third slide jig plate 14. As a result, the third slide jig plate 14 is coupled to the fourth slide jig plate 15, and the upward hook 28 of the third slide jig plate 14 is locked to the downward hook 27 of the second slide jig plate 13. As a result, the second slide jig plate 13 is connected to the third slide jig plate 14, and the upward hook 26 of the second slide jig plate 13 is locked to the downward hook 25 of the first slide jig plate 12. Thus, the first slide jig plate 12 is connected to the second slide jig plate 13 so that the one-action can be easily performed. Then, the locking member 21 is inserted into the engagement hole 22 of the fourth slide jig plate 15 by the operator.

  By deploying the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the main line holding members 23 of the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are arranged apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Each of the trunk lines 53 that are hooked to each other is linearly shaped with a predetermined dimension. At this time, since the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are coupled in a planar manner and then coupled, there is an error in the distance between the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15. The length of the trunk line 53 can be set without any deviation.

  Then, post-processing such as tape winding or coating treatment is performed on the branch line 52 that is easily entangled when it is removed from the linearly shaped trunk line 53 and the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 and set in the finishing jig. As a result, the production of the wire harness is completed, and it is transported to the next inspection process.

  According to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 connected at the time of deployment are partially overlapped before deployment. Therefore, before the trunk line 53 is set to a predetermined length by unfolding, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 are partially overlapped to form the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14,. 15 can be used while securing a predetermined length set at the time of deployment without removing 15. Thereby, the dimensional accuracy of a wire harness can be manufactured for a long term. In the manufacturing process using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 as described above, the same route is duplicated a plurality of times, but it is not necessary to accurately trace the wires of the wire harness along the route. Man-hours can be shortened. In addition, since the work conventionally performed in the assembly process can be performed outside the assembly process, the number of man-hours required for the assembly process can be reduced, and the number of jigs can be reduced.

  Further, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, since the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 are mechanically coupled at the time of deployment, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, It is possible to improve the dimensional accuracy without causing a deviation in the dimension between the 15 dimensions.

  Further, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the notches 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 of the slide jig plates 13, 14, and 15 are positioned on the support column 16 before deployment. The slide jig plates 13, 14, 15 are not misaligned, so that the work before deployment can be performed accurately.

  Further, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the lock pile 20 of the fourth slide jig plate 15 is locked to the hollow portion 19 of the base 17 before deployment. Since the lock pile 20 is locked to the hollow portion 19 after the operator confirms the position of each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, 15, each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, Since the position of 15 can be finely adjusted, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 can be accurately arranged.

  In addition, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, since the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are fixed at the deployed positions by locking the locking members 21 during deployment, Since no error occurs in the distance between the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15, the length of the wire harness can be reliably set to a predetermined value.

  Further, according to the method for manufacturing a wire harness using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 partially overlapped before deployment are connected at the time of deployment. The trunk line 53 is set to a predetermined length. As a result, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are partially overlapped before deployment, so that the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are not removed and the predetermined set at the time of deployment. Since it can be used while securing the length, it can be manufactured while ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the wire harness for a long period of time.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A deformation | transformation, improvement, etc. are possible suitably.
