  Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the tube-shaped exterior member attachment apparatus and tube-shaped exterior member-attached electric wire module which concern on embodiment is demonstrated.

<About manufacturing target>
For convenience of explanation, a tube-shaped exterior member-attached electric wire module 10 that is a manufacturing object will be described with reference to FIG.

  The wire module 10 with a tube-shaped exterior member is configured such that a corrugated tube 16 is attached to the wire 12 as a tube-shaped exterior member.

  Here, the wire module 10 with a tubular exterior member includes a wire module 10 </ b> B including a plurality of wires 11 with terminals and a connector 14, and a corrugated tube 16.

  Any one end portion of the plurality of terminal-attached electric wires 11 is inserted and connected to the connector 14 to constitute a single wiring member. The other end portions of the plurality of terminal-attached electric wires 11 may be connected to other connectors or may remain unconnected to other connectors.

  Here, it is assumed that the wire module 10 with the tubular exterior member is a temporary connection (also referred to as a sub-assembly) that constitutes a part of the wire harness for vehicle wiring. That is, when manufacturing a wire harness used as a wiring in a vehicle or the like, the wire harness is manufactured by dividing it into a temporary form that is smaller than the finished product form, and a plurality of the temporary forms are combined to form a finished form of the wire harness. Construction method may be adopted.

  The electric wire module 10 </ b> B before the corrugated tube 16 is attached includes one or a plurality of terminal-attached electric wires 11 and one or a plurality of connectors 14. One or a plurality of terminal-attached electric wires 11 and one or a plurality of connectors 14 are physically connected by inserting or connecting one end of the terminal-attached electric wires 11 to the connector 14. The terminal-attached electric wire 11 and one or a plurality of connectors 14 are handled as a single wiring material. A wire harness is manufactured by combining the electric wire module 10B with another temporary connection, electric wire, or the like.

  Here, the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B is configured such that a plurality of terminal-attached wires 11 are inserted and connected to either or both of the two connectors 14. And the corrugated tube 16 is armored with respect to the two wire bundle portions 11B inserted and connected to the two connectors 14 of the terminal-attached electric wires 11, thereby constituting the electric wire module 10 with a tube-like outer member.

  The corrugated tube 16 is a resin-made cylindrical member in which thick annular portions and narrow annular portions are alternately connected. Such a corrugated tube 16 can be bent and deformed relatively easily. For this reason, the corrugated tube 16 is used as a member that protects the wire bundle portion 11B while keeping the wire bundle portion 11B to be protected easily bent. In addition, although demonstrated here in the example which attaches the corrugated tube 16 to the electric wire bundle part 11B where the several electric wire 11 with a terminal was bundled, and winds the adhesive tape 18, it attaches a corrugated tube with respect to a single electric wire. The same can be done when an adhesive tape is wound.

  An adhesive tape 18 is wound around the corrugated tube 16.

  Here, the adhesive tape 18 is wound around both ends of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B extending from the end. Thereby, the corrugated tube 16 is positioned at a fixed position with respect to the wire bundle portion 11B. It is not essential that the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the wire bundle portion 11B at both ends of the corrugated tube 16.

  The adhesive tape 18 is also wound around the intermediate part of the corrugated tube 16. Here, the adhesive tape 18 is wound in a spiral shape so as to overlap each other in the extending direction of the corrugated tube 16 in each winding turn (this winding method may be called close winding). For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 18 is wound so as to overlap about half in the width direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 18 (this winding method may be called half-wrap winding). The adhesive tape 18 may be spirally wound with a gap so as not to overlap with each other in the extending direction of the corrugated tube 16 in each winding turn (this winding method may be called rough winding). Thus, by winding the adhesive tape 18, the opening of the slit 17 (see FIG. 21) of the corrugated tube 16 is suppressed. In the tube-shaped exterior member attachment device 20 described later, the adhesive tape 18 is wound around at least an intermediate portion of the corrugated tube 16.

  It is not essential that the tubular exterior member is the corrugated tube 16. The tube-shaped exterior member may be an easily bendable tubular member formed of resin or the like.

  Moreover, it is not essential that the tube-shaped exterior member-attached electric wire module is a temporary structure constituting a part of the wire harness. The wiring material which comprises the whole wire harness may be sufficient as a tube-shaped exterior member attachment electric wire module.

<Overall configuration of tube-shaped exterior member mounting device>
The tubular exterior member mounting device 20 is a device for winding the adhesive tape 18 around the corrugated tube 16 while sheathing the corrugated tube 16 on the wire bundle portion 11B.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing the overall configuration of the tubular exterior member attachment device 20, and FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the attachment unit 50 and the tape winding mechanism 30.

  The tubular exterior member attachment device 20 includes an electric wire holding member 22, a tape winding mechanism 30, and a plurality of attachment units 50.

  The electric wire holding member 22 is configured to be able to hold portions other than the portion to which the corrugated tube 16 is attached in the electric wire module 10B. Here, the electric wire holding member 22 is formed in a long member, and the holding slit 23 is formed in the upward portion thereof. The holding slit 23 is formed, for example, by forming a slit in an elastic member such as rubber, or supporting the base end portions of the pair of elastic pieces in a state where the distal ends of the pair of elastic pieces are abutted. It is comprised by. Thereby, the electric wire holding member 22 can pinch the electric wire 12 elastically and can support it so that attachment or detachment is possible.

  Here, the electric wire holding member 22 plays a role of supporting an end portion of the electric wire module 10B other than the end portion to which the corrugated tube 16 is attached. In addition, it is not essential that the electric wire holding member 22 is provided.

  Here, the tube-shaped exterior member mounting apparatus 20 includes two mounting units 50. The attachment unit 50 is arranged in parallel with a distance from the wire holding member 22. The direction in which the two attachment units 50 are arranged is the same as the direction in which the electric wire holding member 22 extends. Therefore, the two attachment units 50 are disposed at the same distance from the electric wire holding member 22. .

  As will be described later, the attachment unit 50 is a portion for covering the corrugated tube 16 with respect to the two wire bundle portions 11B of the wire module 10B. Accordingly, the two wire bundle portions 11B of the wire module 10B are drawn out toward the two attachment units 50, respectively. In addition, between the electric wire holding member 22 and each attachment unit 50, the electric wire bundle part 11B is made into the loose state, and each electric wire bundle part 11B can be pulled from the electric wire holding member 22. FIG.

  The tape winding mechanism 30 is configured such that the adhesive tape 18 can be wound around the corrugated tube 16 in each attachment unit 50.

  Here, the tape winding mechanism 30 is supported by the tape winding mechanism moving mechanism 40 so as to be movable between the two attachment units 50.

  The tape winding mechanism moving mechanism 40 includes a horizontal moving mechanism 42 and a lifting / lowering moving mechanism 44.

  The horizontal movement mechanism 42 is configured by a linear actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, and is disposed below the two attachment units 50 along the direction connecting the two attachment units 50. . By the horizontal movement mechanism 42, the elevation movement mechanism 44 and the tape winding mechanism 30 are supported so as to be movable along the direction connecting the two attachment units 50.

  The elevating / lowering mechanism 44 is configured by a linear actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, and supports the tape winding mechanism 30 so as to be movable up and down. Then, the vertical movement mechanism 44 raises the tape winding mechanism 30 in a state where the vertical movement mechanism 44 is moved below each mounting unit 50 by driving the horizontal movement mechanism 42, so that the tape winding mechanism 30 is Ascending and moving upward of the attachment unit 50, the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 can be performed in each attachment unit 50. Further, when the lifting / lowering moving mechanism 44 lowers the tape winding mechanism 30, the tape winding mechanism 30 is lowered below each attachment unit 50 to a position where interference with the attachment unit 50 can be avoided. As a result, the horizontal movement mechanism 42 can horizontally move the lifting / lowering movement mechanism 44 and the tape winding mechanism 30 below the attachment unit 50.

  The operation control of each part of the tubular exterior member mounting device 20 is performed by the control unit 110. Control unit 110 includes a microprocessor, a main storage unit coupled to the microprocessor, and an auxiliary storage unit. The main storage unit is configured by a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like, and the auxiliary storage unit is configured by a non-temporary storage device such as a flash memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), or a hard disk device. The auxiliary storage unit stores a program describing instructions for the microprocessor. The microprocessor reads the program and executes each processing step described later. Note that some or all of the various processes executed by the control unit 110 may be realized by hardware. Here, the drive timing (conditions), operation details (movement position, movement direction, rotation amount), etc. of each of the above-mentioned drive units are described in the program, and each unit of this apparatus will be described later according to the description of the program. Perform the operations described.

<About the mounting unit>
The attachment unit 50 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, a line L on which the wire bundle portion 11B is disposed is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  The attachment unit 50 includes a tube exterior jig 60 and a drawing mechanism 80. The tube sheathing jig 60 is configured to guide the wire bundle portion 11B and the corrugated tube 16 as electric wires so that the corrugated tube 16 is sheathed on the wire bundle portion 11B. The drawing mechanism 80 is configured to be able to draw the wire bundle portion 11B from the tube exterior jig 60. And in the state which set the wire bundle part 11B and the corrugated tube 16 to the tube exterior jig | tool 60, the corrugated tube 16 comes to be sequentially with respect to the wire bundle part 11B by pulling the wire bundle part 11B. Yes. Further, in this way, when the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B are pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60, the tape winding mechanism 30 is disposed on the downstream side of the tube exterior jig 60. By performing the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 by the tape winding mechanism 30, the adhesive tape 18 can be sequentially wound around the corrugated tube 16 drawn out while being sheathed with respect to the wire bundle portion 11B. It has become.

  The tube exterior jig 60 and the drawing mechanism 80 are supported on the base plate 51.

  Each part structure is demonstrated more concretely.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the tube exterior jig 60, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the corrugated tube 16 is exteriorized on the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B by the tube exterior jig 60.

  The tube exterior jig 60 includes an exterior body portion 62 and an extension guide portion 68, and is supported on the base plate 51 at a predetermined height position via a support column portion 51p.

  The exterior main body 62 is formed in a shape obtained by bending a plate-like member into a substantially U shape. Here, the exterior main body 62 is formed in a shape obtained by bending a substantially isosceles triangular plate-like member into a substantially U shape along a vertical bisector of its base.

  A bent portion of the exterior body 62 is formed in a semi-cylindrical wire guide 63 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. This electric wire guide part 63 is comprised so that the electric wire bundle part 11B inserted in the inside can be guided linearly.

  In addition, a tube guide portion 65 is provided on the outer side portion of both side piece portions 64 sandwiching the wire guide portion 63 in the exterior body portion 62. The tube guide portion 65 is configured to be capable of being externally guided to the wire bundle portion 11B guided through the wire guide portion 63 while the corrugated tube 16 formed with the slit 17 is widened by the slit 17. . Here, both side piece portions 64 sandwiching the wire guide portion 63 in the exterior main body portion 62 are formed in a substantially plate shape having outer side portions that are inclined with respect to the extending direction of the tube guide portion 65. It is formed in the flange portion 65a by bending the outer side portions of the both side piece portions 64 so as to extend outward. The flange portion 65a extends in a direction oblique to the extending direction of the wire guide portion 63, and is provided so as to gradually approach toward the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B in the wire guide portion 63. ing. A tube guide portion 65 is configured by the pair of flange portions 65a.

  Then, by inserting the pair of flange portions 65a into the corrugated tube 16 through the slit 17 in a state where the slit 17 is widened, the corrugated tube 16 is extended to the wire guide portion 63 in a state where the slit 17 is widened. It is guided along the direction skewed in the present direction.

  And the one end part of the corrugated tube 16 guided by the tube guide part 65 is covered with the part which was guided through the electric wire guide part 63 among the electric wire bundle parts 11B, and was drawn out to the drawing direction downstream side. In this state, by pulling out the wire bundle portion 11B and the corrugated tube 16 guided by the wire guide portion 63, the wire bundle portion 11B is continuously inserted into the corrugated tube 16 through the slit 17 widened as described above. Will be.

  The extension guide part 68 is provided on the drawer side of the corrugated tube 16 with respect to the exterior main body part 62 and is configured to be able to guide the corrugated tube 16 while keeping the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 open. .

  Here, the extension guide part 68 is formed in the elongate part whose cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the extension direction makes a T-shape. Here, the extension guide portion 68 is provided so as to extend to the downstream side in the drawing direction with respect to the wire guide portion 63. The extension guide portion 68 may be formed separately from the exterior body portion 62 and attached to the exterior body portion 62 with an adhesive or the like. It may be molded.

  Here, the extension guide portion 68 is provided along the extension line of the wire guide portion 63. Of the extended guide portion 68, the horizontal piece portion extending outward in both directions extends outward on both sides of the wire guide portion 63, and the vertical piece portion extending downward of the extension guide portion 68 is formed on the wire guide portion 63. It extends downward.

  Then, the corrugated tube 16 guided by the tube guide portion 65 is fed toward the extension guide portion 68 while being bent at an obtuse angle at a connecting portion between the tube guide portion 65 and the extension guide portion 68. In the extension guide portion 68, the horizontal piece portion of the wire guide portion 63 is disposed in a portion near the slit 17 in the internal space of the corrugated tube 16, and the vertical piece portion is disposed in the slit 17. Thereby, the corrugated tube 16 is guided along the extension guide portion 68 while the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 remains open.

  According to the extension guide portion 68, when the corrugated tube 16 is bent at the connecting portion between the tube guide portion 65 and the extension guide portion 68, the slit 17 is positioned on the outer peripheral side of the bent portion. For this reason, the slit 17 is more reliably opened at that portion, whereby the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B can be smoothly inserted into the corrugated tube 16 through the slit 17.

  Further, since the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 is maintained open at a position away from the wire guide portion 63, the slit 17 of the adhesive tape 18 at the end of the corrugated tube 16 is described later. There is an advantage that it is possible to easily and surely make an interruption.

  In addition, it is not essential that the extension guide part 68 is provided along the extension line of the wire guide part 63.

  For example, an extension guide portion 168 corresponding to the extension guide portion 68 may be provided along the extension line of the tube guide portion 65 as in the tube exterior jig 160 according to the modification shown in FIG. In this case, since the corrugated tube 16 is not bent, there is an advantage that the corrugated tube 16 can be smoothly fed.

  The tube exterior jig 60 is preferably detachable from the base plate 51. Thereby, the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B can be easily set to the tube exterior jig 60.

  The tubular exterior member mounting device 20 includes a tube moving mechanism 70.

  The tube moving mechanism 70 is configured to be movable in a direction in which the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60 after the tip end portion of the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B drawn out from the tube exterior jig 60. ing. The tube moving mechanism 70 is a mechanism for disposing the adhesive tape 18 at the end of the slit 17.

  That is, the tube moving mechanism 70 includes a tube gripping mechanism 72 and a horizontal moving mechanism 74 that moves the tube gripping mechanism 72 to the side to be pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60.

  The tube gripping mechanism 72 is configured by an electromagnetic chuck using a solenoid or a chuck using an air cylinder, and includes a pair of gripping portions 72a that can be opened and closed. And by closing the pair of gripping portions 72a on the distal end side of the extension guide portion 68, the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 drawn out from the extension guide portion 68 is gripped, and the pair of gripping portions 72a is opened, The grip of the corrugated tube 16 can be released.

  The horizontal movement mechanism 74 is configured by a linear actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, and is provided along the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B. By this horizontal movement mechanism 74, the tube gripping mechanism 72 is supported through the support portion 74B so as to be movable along the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B.

  Then, the end of the corrugated tube 16 is gripped by closing the pair of gripping portions 72a of the tube gripping mechanism 72 in a state where the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out to the distal end side of the extension guide portion 68 together with the wire bundle portion 11B. Can do. In this state, by driving the horizontal movement mechanism 42, the tube gripping mechanism 72 is moved to the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B, thereby moving the corrugated tube 16 to the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B. Can be done. Thereby, as will be described later, the adhesive tape 18 can easily enter the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16.

  The drawing mechanism 80 sets the wire bundle portion 11B to the wire guide portion 63, sets the corrugated tube 16 to the tube guide portion 65, and connects one end of the corrugated tube 16 from the wire bundle portion 11B of the wire bundle portion 11B. The corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B are configured to be able to be pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60 in a state where the exterior portion is packaged.

  Here, the drawing mechanism 80 includes an electric wire drawing mechanism 82 and a tube drawing mechanism 90. The drawing mechanism 80 is provided on the opposite side of the wire holding member 22 with the tube exterior jig 60 interposed therebetween, and is configured to pull the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B away from the wire holding member 22. Has been.

  The wire drawing mechanism 82 is configured to be able to pull the wire bundle portion 11B by pulling the connector 14 as an end portion attachment member attached to the end portion of the wire bundle portion 11B. As the end attachment member attached to the end of the wire bundle portion 11B, there may be a case where the terminal is connected and attached to the exposed core portion of the end of the wire by crimping or welding in addition to the connector 14. In particular, when the terminal is a terminal (for example, a ground terminal) that is connected when the other side is reached, since the terminal itself is relatively strong, it is suitable for pulling the electric wire.

  More specifically, the wire drawing mechanism 82 includes a drawing drive unit 84 and a connector set unit 86.

  The drawer drive unit 84 is configured by a linear actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, and is supported on the base plate 51 at a position that is laterally separated from the wire bundle portion 11B. A movable portion 85 that is supported by the drawing drive portion 84 so as to be movable along the extending direction of the wire bundle portion 11B is supported so as to extend from the drawing drive portion 84 toward the wire bundle portion 11B. A connector set portion 86 is supported on the distal end portion of the movable portion 85.

  The connector set portion 86 is formed with a concave portion 86a into which the connector 14 can be fitted, and the connector 14 is supported at a fixed position with respect to the connector set portion 86 by fitting the connector 14 into the concave portion 86a. The connector set portion 86 may be configured to sandwich and support the connector. Further, the wire drawing mechanism 82 may be configured to pull the wire bundle portion 11B while holding the wire bundle portion 11B.

  And, in a state where the connector 14 is set in the connector set portion 86, the connector set portion 86 is moved in the direction away from the tube exterior jig 60 along the extending direction of the electric wire bundle portion 11B by the drawing drive portion 84, The connector 14 moves in the same direction, so that the wire bundle portion 11B is pulled in a direction away from the tube exterior jig 60 along the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B.

  The tube drawing mechanism 90 is configured to be able to pull one end of the corrugated tube 16.

  Here, the tube drawing mechanism 90 includes a drawing tube holding drive unit 92 and a pair of drawing tube holding units 94.

  The pull-out tube grip driving unit 92 is supported by the movable unit 85 at a position opposite to the tube exterior jig 60 with respect to the connector set unit 86.

  The drawing tube gripping portion 94 includes a rod-shaped portion 94a and a gripping claw portion 94b.

  The base end portions of the rod-like portions 94a of the pair of tube-drawing gripping portions 94 are supported by the tube-drawing-tube gripping drive portion 92, and the driving of the tube-drawing tube gripping drive portion 92 causes the pair of rod-like portions 94a to move. It can be driven to open and close between a closed posture in which the gripping claw portion 94b at the distal end is moved in proximity and an open posture in which the pair of gripping claw portions 94b are moved apart.

  In a state where the pair of pull-out tube gripping portions 94 are in the closed position, the pair of gripping claw portions 94b are closed at a position closer to the middle portion of the wire bundle portion 11B than the connector set portion 86, thereby One end of the corrugated tube 16 sheathed on the bundle portion 11B can be gripped. Further, the gripping state of the one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 by the pair of gripping portions 72a can be released in a state where the pair of gripping portions 72a is in the open posture.

  The pull-out tube gripping drive portion 92 and the pair of pull-out tube gripping portions 94 are driven forward and backward along the extending direction of the wire bundle portion 11B by the pull-out drive portion 84 together with the connector set portion 86. Yes. Therefore, the corrugated tube 16 can be pulled by driving the pulling drive unit 84 in a state where the pair of gripping claws 94 b grips one end of the corrugated tube 16.

  In addition, it is not essential that the drawing mechanism 80 includes both the electric wire drawing mechanism 82 and the tube drawing mechanism 90, and a configuration including only one of them may be used. Even in these cases, for example, if one end of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B are fixed by the winding start portion of the adhesive tape 18, the one end of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B By pulling one of the two, it is possible to pull both of them.

  In the tube-shaped exterior member mounting apparatus 20, the wire gripping mechanism 100 is provided on the side opposite to the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B with respect to the tube exterior jig 60, that is, on the wire holding member 22 side. . The electric wire gripping mechanism 100 is configured to be able to pull out the electric wire bundle portion 11B. For example, the pair of gripping claws 101 can be opened and closed by an electromagnetic chuck or a chuck using an air cylinder, and the gripping force is set to such an extent that the wire bundle portion 11B can be pulled out, or via an elastic member Then, the wire bundle portion 11B can be pulled out by sandwiching the wire bundle portion 11B. It is preferable that the gripping force has such a magnitude that the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B can be pulled out by the pulling output by the pulling mechanism 80. Thereby, the wire bundle portion 11B can be kept linear, and the wire bundle portion 11B can easily enter and pass through the wire guide portion 63.

<About tape winding mechanism>
FIG. 7 is a schematic front view showing the tape winding mechanism 30. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the tape winding mechanism 30 is provided on the side of the tube bundle jig 60 on the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B. When the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60 by the drawing mechanism 80, the adhesive tape 18 can be wound around the corrugated tube 16.

  More specifically, the tape winding mechanism 30 includes a rotating body 32, a rotation support unit 34, and a rotation drive unit 36.

  The rotating body 32 is configured such that a U-shaped recess 32h is formed from a part around the outer periphery of the disk-shaped member toward the center. A tape winding body support portion 32a that rotatably supports the tape winding body 18B around which the adhesive tape 18 is wound and accommodated is provided at a portion from the outer peripheral side on one side of the rotating body 32.

  The rotation support portion 34 is formed in a flat plate shape, and is configured such that a concave portion 34h is formed from one side portion thereof toward the center in the width direction. A bearing 34a that rotatably supports the recess 32h of the rotating body 32 is provided in the recess 34h, and an arcuate guide 34b, a rotation support disk 34c, and the like are disposed at positions around the rotating body 32. The rotating body 32 is rotatably supported by the rotation support portion 34. The rotating body 32 is rotated with respect to the rotation support portion 34, and the position of the recess 32 h of the rotation body 32 is matched with the position of the recess 34 h of the rotation support portion 34, so It can be arranged. Further, in this state, by rotating the rotating body 32, the tape winding body 18 </ b> B can be rotated around the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B at the center of the rotating body 32. Yes.

  The rotation drive unit 36 is configured to be able to rotate the rotating body 32. Here, the rotation drive unit 36 is configured by a motor or the like. Here, the two rotation support disks 34 c provided around the rotating body 32 are constituted by gears, and the gears mesh with the gears formed around the rotating body 32. Further, a drive gear 36a attached to the drive shaft of the rotation drive unit 36 is engaged with the two rotation support disks 34c. The rotational driving force of the rotational drive unit 36 is transmitted from the drive gear 36a to the rotary body 32 via the two rotary support disks 34c, whereby the rotary body 32 is rotationally driven. At this time, regardless of the position of the recess 32 h of the rotating body 32, at least one of the two rotating support disks 34 c meshes with a gear formed around the rotating body 32. For this reason, the rotating body 32 can be continuously rotated by 360 degrees or more.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic front view showing the tape winding mechanism 30. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the tape winding mechanism 30 is provided on the side of the tube bundle jig 60 on the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B. When the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60 by the drawing mechanism 80, the adhesive tape 18 can be wound around the corrugated tube 16.

  When the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60 by the pulling mechanism 80, the tape winding body 18 </ b> B is rotated around the corrugated tube 16 by the tape winding mechanism 30, thereby sticking to the corrugated tube 16. The tape 18 can be wound spirally.

  Further, by rotating the tape winding body 18B around the wire bundle portion 11B so that the tip end portion of the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the wire bundle portion 11B drawn from the tube exterior jig 60, the adhesive tape 18 The distal end portion can be wound around the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B outside the one end portion of the corrugated tube 16. In this state, the corrugated tube 16 is moved with respect to the extending direction of the electric wire bundle portion 11B, and the adhesive tape 18 facing outward from the electric wire bundle portion 11B enters the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16, When the tape winding body 18 </ b> B is rotated around one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 in the state, the adhesive tape 18 is also wound around the one end portion of the corrugated tube 16. Thereby, the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the one end part of the wire bundle part 11B and the corrugated tube 16, and the one end part of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle part 11B can be fixed.

<Operation>
Operation | movement of this tube-shaped exterior member attachment apparatus 20 is demonstrated. 8-14 is explanatory drawing which shows operation | movement of the tube-shaped exterior member attachment apparatus 20, FIG. 15-19 is explanatory drawing which shows the corrugated tube 16 pulled out from the tube exterior jig | tool 60, and the electric wire bundle part 11B. FIG. 20 is a schematic sectional view taken along line XX-XX in FIG. 15, and FIG. 21 is a schematic sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG.

  First, in the initial state, as shown in FIG. 1, the operator sets the electric wire module 10 </ b> B and the corrugated tube 16 in the tubular exterior member mounting device 20. More specifically, the middle portion of the two wire bundle portions 11B of the wire module 10B is passed through the wire guide portions 63 of the tube exterior jigs 60 of the two mounting units 50, and the two corrugated tubes 16 are passed through two pieces. It is set in the tube guide part 65 of each tube exterior jig 60 of the attachment unit 50. At this time, one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out from the tube guide portion 65, and is sheathed on a portion of the wire bundle portion 11B that is drawn from the wire bundle portion 11B (see FIG. 15). In this state, the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B drawn from the wire guide portion 63 is led into the corrugated tube 16 through the slit 17 at one end side portion of the tube guide portion 65. In this state, the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B are guided along the extension guide portion 68. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, at the distal end portion of the tube exterior jig 60, the vertical piece portion of the extension guide portion 68 is inserted into the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 and the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 is opened. Is maintained at.

  Then, the connectors 14 at the ends of the two wire bundle portions 11 </ b> B are set in the connector set portion 86. Further, the electric wire gripping mechanism 100 holds an intermediate portion of the portion of the electric wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B opposite to the connector 14. Moreover, the other part of the electric wire 11 with a terminal of the electric wire module 10B is held by the electric wire holding member 22 in a state where the intermediate portion of the electric wire bundle portion 11B is loosened between the electric wire gripping mechanism 100 and the electric wire holding member 22 ( (See FIG. 2).

  In the initial state, the tape winding mechanism 30 is in a side position on the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B with respect to the tube exterior jig 60 in one attachment unit 50. Moreover, the recessed part 32h of the rotary body 32 is opened in the position toward the electric wire bundle part 11B.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, by driving the tape winding mechanism moving mechanism 40, the tape winding mechanism 30 is on the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B with respect to the tube exterior jig 60. Move towards As a result, a portion of the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B that is drawn out from the tube exterior jig 60 and extends from the corrugated tube 16 is disposed at the center of the rotating body 32 of the tape winding mechanism 30. And the front-end | tip part of the adhesive tape 18 is affixed on the part pulled out from the tube exterior jig | tool 60 among the electric wire bundle parts 11B, and extending from the corrugated tube 16. FIG. The application of the tip of the adhesive tape 18 may be performed by the operator's hand, or may be automatically applied to the wire bundle portion 11B by moving the tape winding mechanism 30 as described above. . Then, the tape winding mechanism 30 rotates the tape winding body 18B around the wire bundle portion 11B, whereby the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the wire bundle portion 11B as shown in FIG. For example, the adhesive tape 18 is wound twice around the wire bundle portion 11B. The tape winding mechanism 30 stops its rotation in a state where the tape winding body 18 </ b> B is positioned below the slit 17.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11, the tube gripping mechanism 72 of the tube moving mechanism 70 moves the pair of gripping portions 72 a close to each other to grip the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 that extends from the tube exterior jig 60. . Then, by driving the horizontal moving mechanism 74, the corrugated tube 16 is moved from the tube exterior jig 60 to the downstream side in the drawing direction of the wire bundle portion 11B, and the end of the corrugated tube 16 is moved to the position of the tape winding mechanism 30. . At this time, a portion of the adhesive tape 18 wound around the wire bundle portion 11B that faces outward from the wire bundle portion 11B enters the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 (see FIGS. 17 and 21). At this time, since the extension guide portion 68 extends toward the tape winding mechanism 30, the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 is wound around the tape with the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 opened as much as possible. Since it moves toward the mechanism 30, it is possible to more reliably dispose the adhesive tape 18 with respect to the slit 17. Then, the tape winding mechanism 30 rotates the tape winding body 18 </ b> B around the end portion of the corrugated tube 16, whereby the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 as shown in FIG. 18. As described above, the winding tape is wound around the wire bundle portion 11B and one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 so that the one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 is fixed to the wire bundle portion 11B. .

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11, the gripping of the corrugated tube 16 by the tube gripping mechanism 72 of the tube moving mechanism 70 is released, and the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B is pulled by pulling the connector 14 by the wire pulling mechanism 82. As described above, since the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 is fixed to the electric wire bundle portion 11B, when the electric wire bundle portion 11B is pulled, the corrugated tube 16 is also pulled together with the electric wire bundle portion 11B.

  After the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B and the corrugated tube 16 are pulled out by a predetermined amount by the wire pulling mechanism 82, the tube pulling mechanism 90 also grips one end of the corrugated tube 16 and pulls the corrugated tube 16. The tube drawing mechanism 90 also plays a role of suppressing the twist of the corrugated tube 16 by holding the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 by the pair of drawing tube holding portions 94. That is, when the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the corrugated tube 16, a force that twists in the winding direction acts on the corrugated tube 16. Therefore, by holding the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 by the pair of pulling tube gripping portions 94 of the tube pulling mechanism 90, the twist of the corrugated tube 16 can be suppressed, and the slit 17 is extended linearly while the adhesive tape is being stretched. 18 windings can be performed.

  The tape winding mechanism 30 rotates the tape winding body 18 </ b> B around the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 while the wire bundle portion 11 </ b> B and the corrugated tube 16 are pulled out by the drawing mechanism 80. Then, the adhesive tape 18 is sequentially wound around the corrugated tube 16 in a spiral manner (see FIG. 19). In addition, the adhesive tape 18 can be tightly wound around the corrugated tube 16 by adjusting the drawing speed of the wire bundle portion 11B and the corrugated tube 16 and the rotational speed of the tape winding body 18B as appropriate. It can also be wound. The adhesive tape 18 may or may not be wound around the other end portion of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B extending from the other end portion.

  After the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the corrugated tube 16, the adhesive tape 18 is cut between the corrugated tube 16 and the tape winding body 18B. This cutting may be performed by an operator, or may be automatically performed by a cutter and a cutter driving unit incorporated in the tape winding mechanism 30.

  Thereby, the winding operation | work of the adhesive tape 18 with respect to one electric wire bundle part 11B and the corrugated tube 16 is complete | finished.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 12, the tape winding mechanism 30 is moved to a position away from the corrugated tube 16 to the side by driving the tape winding mechanism moving mechanism 40.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, by driving the tape winding mechanism moving mechanism 40, the tape winding mechanism 30 moves to the other mounting unit 50 side, and in the same manner as described above, with respect to the other corrugated tube 16 The adhesive tape 18 is wound.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 14, each holding | grip with respect to the electric wire module 10 with a tube-shaped exterior member is cancelled | released. At this time, it is preferable to lower the tube sheathing jig 60, the wire gripping mechanism 100, and the like so as not to obstruct the removal work of the wire module 10 with the tubular sheathing member. And if an operator removes the electric wire module 10 with a tube-shaped exterior member from each attachment unit 50, the electric wire module 10 with a tube-shaped exterior member will be completed. And the connector set part 86 etc. are returned to the original position, and the tubular exterior member attachment apparatus 20 is returned to an initial state.

<Effects>
According to the manufacturing method of the tube-shaped exterior member mounting device 20 and the tube-shaped exterior member-attached electric wire module 10 configured as described above, the wire bundle portion 11B is set on the wire guide portion 63 of the tube exterior jig 60, and the corrugate. The tube 16 is set in the tube guide portion 65 of the tube exterior jig 60, and the corrugated tube 16 and the corrugated tube 16 are covered with one end portion of the corrugated tube 16 that extends from the wire guide portion 63 in the wire bundle portion 11B. The wire bundle portion 11B is pulled out from the tube exterior jig 60. Then, when the corrugated tube 16 is pulled out, the adhesive tape 18 is wound around the corrugated tube 16 by rotating the tape winding body 18 </ b> B around the corrugated tube 16. Thereby, the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 around the corrugated tube 16 can be performed while the corrugated tube 16 is sheathed with respect to the wire bundle portion 11B, and both operations can be performed quickly.

  Further, since the adhesive tape 18 is sequentially wound around the corrugated tube 16 drawn out from the tube exterior jig 60, there is an advantage that the corrugated tube 16 is hardly twisted.

  Further, the tape winding mechanism 30 winds the tip of the adhesive tape 18 around the wire bundle portion 11B, and then the tape winding mechanism 30 is in a state where the adhesive tape 18 is inserted into the slit of the corrugated tube 16. 18 is wound around the end of the corrugated tube 16. Thereby, the edge part of the corrugated tube 16 is easily fixed with respect to the electric wire bundle part 11B. In this state, since the electric wire bundle portion 11B and the corrugated tube 16 are pulled out, the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 around the corrugated tube 16 can be performed while suppressing the positional deviation between them.

  In particular, after the tape winding mechanism 30 winds the tip of the adhesive tape 18 around the wire bundle portion 11B drawn from the corrugated tube 16, the tube moving mechanism 70 pulls the corrugated tube 16 from the tube exterior jig 60. Therefore, the adhesive tape 18 can easily enter the slit 17, and the fixing operation between the end portion of the corrugated tube 16 and the wire bundle portion 11B can be easily performed.

  Moreover, since the tube exterior jig 60 includes the extended guide portion 68 that guides the corrugated tube 16 while keeping the slit 17 open on the drawing side of the corrugated tube 16, the tube exterior jig 60 maintains the slit 17 open, and The corrugated tube 16 can be guided near the tape winding mechanism 30 while suppressing the rotation. For this reason, the adhesive tape 18 can easily enter the slit 17.

  In particular, since the extension guide portion 68 is provided along the extension line of the wire guide portion 63, the wire bundle portion 11B is drawn linearly, and the corrugated tube 16 is joined at the junction with the wire bundle portion 11B. Then, the slit 17 is pulled out while being bent. Thereby, the slit 17 of the corrugated tube 16 can be easily opened, and the corrugated tube 16 can be smoothly sheathed on the wire bundle portion 11B.

  Further, since the drawing mechanism 80 pulls the wire bundle portion 11B by pulling the connector 14, the wire bundle portion 11B can be pulled more reliably with a simple configuration.

  Further, since the pulling mechanism 80 also pulls the corrugated tube 16, the corrugated tube 16 can be pulled more reliably in synchronization with the wire bundle portion 11B while suppressing the twist of the corrugated tube 16.

  In particular, since the tube drawing mechanism 90 grips the corrugated tube 16 after winding the adhesive tape around the wire bundle portion 11B and the end portion of the corrugated tube 16, the corrugated tube does not become an obstacle to the winding cane house work. 16 can be gripped.

  Further, since the wire bundle portion 11B is grasped by the wire gripping mechanism 100 on the side opposite to the drawing mechanism 80 in a drawable state, the wire bundle portion 11B is guided to the tube exterior jig 60 in a linear state. Is done. For this reason, the wire bundle portion 11B can be smoothly inserted into the tube exterior jig 60.

  In addition, a plurality of mounting units 50 are arranged in parallel, and the tape winding mechanism 30 moves between the plurality of mounting units 50 to perform the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 in each mounting unit 50. The exterior operation of the corrugated tube 16 and the winding operation of the adhesive tape 18 can be performed efficiently. In addition, since the tape winding can be performed at a plurality of locations by the single tape winding mechanism 30, the overall cost of the apparatus can be reduced.

  In addition, it is preferable that the plurality of attachment units 50 are configured to be detachable with respect to a predetermined gantry and the moving position of the tape winding mechanism 30 is adjustable. Thereby, it becomes possible to flexibly adjust the number of installation units 50 according to the number of mounting operations of the corrugated tube 16 or the like.

  Further, since the corrugated tube 16 is bent when the corrugated tube 16 is directed from the tube guiding portion 65 to the extended guiding portion 68, the corrugated tube 16 may be detached from the tube guiding portion 65.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, the tube pressing guide 65 is located at a position away from the wire guide portion 63 with respect to the tube guide portion 65 or the portion between the tube guide portion 65 and the extension guide portion 68. A member 200 may be provided. The tube pressing guide member 200 is a disk-shaped member. The surface of the tube pressing guide member 200 may draw a smooth cylindrical peripheral surface, or may draw an annular groove that is recessed at the center in the width direction.

  The tube pressing guide member 200 is supported at the above position by a bracket supported by the base plate 51, the support column portion 51p, or the tube exterior jig 60. A central portion of the tube pressing guide member 200 is rotatably supported by the bracket via a bearing or the like. Then, the outer peripheral surface of the tube pressing guide member 200 is pressed against the corrugated tube 16 guided from the tube guide portion 65 through the extension guide portion 68. Then, when the corrugated tube 16 is sent, the outer peripheral surface of the tube pressing guide member 200 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the corrugated tube 16 and rotated accordingly.

  Thereby, the corrugated tube 16 can be smoothly guided while preventing the corrugated tube 16 from being detached from the tube guide portion 65 and the extension guide portion 68.

  As described above, the present invention has been described in detail. However, the above description is illustrative in all aspects, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that countless variations that are not illustrated can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention.
