FIG. 3 is a plan view of the mark tube sorting apparatus 100. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the mark tube sorting device 100 of FIG. FIG. 5 is a side view of the mark tube sorting apparatus 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the mark tube sorting device 100 is adjacent to a rectangular base 101 extending in the longitudinal direction and a plurality of rotating bodies 110 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base 101. A plurality of rotating pedestals 120 interposed between the pair of rotating bodies 110 and the base 101 so as to rotatably support the pair of rotating bodies 110, and fixed to the base 101, and hold a plurality of wire rods W. And a reel body (mark tube supply body) 150 around which the mark tube coupling body 152 is wound.

  The base 101 is configured such that each member can be mounted as a rectangular plate extending in the longitudinal direction from the base end (left end in FIG. 2) to the tip end (right end in FIG. 2). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the base 101 has a plurality of fixing holes 102 that can rotatably insert and support the rotating shaft 122 of the rotating base 120 and the rotating shaft 112 of the rotating body 110. It is formed along the direction. Further, an extension portion 103 for fixing the extension base 105 (see FIG. 10) is formed on the end portion of the base 101 opposite to the reel body 150. Furthermore, a jig holding portion 104 for placing the jig 160 is provided on the tip side of the base 101. The jig holding portion 104 has a shape similar to the rotating body 110.

  The rotating body 110 has a cylindrical outer shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a pair of adjacent rotating bodies 110 are rotatably supported by the rotating base 120. Each rotary base 120 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the fixing hole 102 of the base 101. A plurality (five in this embodiment) of rotating bases 120 on which a pair of rotating bodies 110 are mounted are arranged along the longitudinal direction. As a result, in the initial form before rotating the rotating pedestal 120, a plurality of (in this embodiment, 10) rotating bodies 110 are arranged in series on the base 101 along the longitudinal direction.

  The rotating body 110 includes an accommodation groove 111 in which a groove end portion is opened and a mark tube 151 can be inserted, and a rotating shaft 112 that serves as a center of rotation of the rotating body 110. The housing groove 111 is a cross groove in which grooves having the same shape are orthogonal to each other. Further, the length and width of the receiving groove 111 are substantially equal to the length and diameter of the mark tube 151 to be inserted. The depth of the accommodation groove 111 is determined so that one mark tube 151 can be accommodated. The rotating body 110 is set every 90 degrees with reference to the position where the accommodation groove 111 faces the holding body 130 (in other words, the position where the cross groove of the accommodation groove 111 is arranged along the longitudinal direction and the orthogonal direction thereof). It is comprised so that it may be temporarily fixed to. Specifically, although not shown, ball blankers are arranged every 90 degrees on the inner walls of the holes 123 and 124 of the rotating pedestal 120 that accommodates and supports the rotating shaft 112, and the ball is placed in the recess provided on the rotating shaft 112. By inserting the plunger ball, the rotating shaft 112 is temporarily fixed at a predetermined position. The ball is biased by a spring against the recess or the rotating shaft 112. When a rotational force is applied to the rotating shaft 112, the ball moves backward so that the rotating shaft 112 can rotate in the holes 123 and 124 of the rotating base 120.

  In the present embodiment, the accommodation groove is configured as a cross groove, but may be a single groove having a “−” shape instead of the cross groove. Alternatively, the dimensions of the receiving groove are arbitrarily determined. For example, in this embodiment, the depth of the storage groove may be capable of storing two or more mark tubes.

  The rotating pedestal 120 passes through a flat pedestal portion 121 having two holes 123 and 124 and one hole 123 of the pedestal portion 121, and the pedestal portion 121 is rotatably supported by the base 101. And a rotating shaft 122. One rotating shaft 112 of the pair of rotating bodies 110 is coaxial (shared) with the rotating shaft 122. The rotating shaft 122 is disposed on the base end side of the pair of rotating bodies 110. Further, the other rotating shaft 112 of the pair of rotating bodies 110 is rotatably disposed in the other hole 124 of the pedestal portion 121. The rotating pedestal 120 is configured to be temporarily fixed in a posture rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise with reference to the initial position where the rotating bodies 110 are arranged along the longitudinal direction. Specifically, although not shown, concave portions provided on the rotation shaft 122 by disposing ball blankers on at least two positions every 90 degrees on the inner wall of the fixing hole 102 of the base 101 that accommodates and supports the rotation shaft 122. Further, when the ball plunger ball is fitted, the rotating shaft 122 is temporarily fixed at a predetermined position. The ball is biased by a spring against the recess or the rotating shaft 122. When a rotational force is applied to the rotating shaft 122, the ball moves backward so that the rotating shaft 122 can rotate within the fixing hole 102 of the base 101.

  The plurality of holding bodies 130 are linearly arranged along the longitudinal direction so as to be positioned in front of the corresponding plurality of rotating bodies 110. Each holding body 130 is fixed to the base 101 and configured to hold the wire W passing through the mark tube 151 held by the rotating body 110. That is, each holding body 130 includes a recessed portion 131 that can accommodate the wire W, and a clip portion 132 that is provided in the recessed portion 131 and holds the wire W in the recessed portion 131. The number of holding bodies 130 is not limited, but is 10 as is the number of rotating bodies 110. Each of the plurality of rotating bodies 120 arranged linearly is positioned substantially in front of the corresponding holding body 130. The recessed portion 131 has an opening 133 that faces the groove end opening of the accommodating groove 111 of the corresponding rotating body 110, and is open in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. That is, the wire W passes through the opening 133 at one end of the recessed portion 131, is accommodated in the recessed portion 131 so as to extend from the other end of the recessed portion 131, and is temporarily fixed (held) by the clip portion 132 in that state. The

  As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation base 120 can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the initial configuration in which the rotating bodies 110 of FIG. 3 are in series. In the form of FIG. 4, two rotating bodies 110 are arranged in front of one holding body 130, and the recessed portion 131 and the two receiving grooves 111, 111 communicate with each other in a straight line. That is, two mark tubes 151 can be temporarily attached to one wire W held by one holding body 130.

  The reel body 150 is provided near the base end of the base 101. The reel body 150 is a reel body that winds and holds a long mark tube coupling body 152 in which a plurality of mark tubes 151 are continuously provided. The reel body 150 is arranged adjacent to the row of the rotators 110 so that each mark tube 151 of the drawn mark tube coupling body 152 is easily accommodated in the accommodating groove 111 of the rotator 110. FIG. 8 is a schematic view of the mark tube coupling body 152. As shown in FIG. 8, mark tubes 151 having different marks (1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E, 6F, 7G, 8H, 9I, and 10J) may be connected (although they may be the same). The mark tube 151 is continuous in the longitudinal direction so that these marks are repeated in the same order. The order of the marks on the mark tube connector 152 may be determined so as to optimize the work efficiency according to the power distribution diagram (or display 140). Further, the mark tube coupling body 152 has a cut between the mark tubes 151 so that the adjacent mark tubes 151 can be easily cut from each other. Since the length of the mark tube 151 and the length of the receiving groove 111 are substantially equal, even if the long mark tube connecting body 152 is not cut, a plurality of the drawn mark tubes 151 are stored in the receiving groove of each rotating body 110. 111 can be continuously inserted.

  The jig 160 is used for cutting the adjacent mark tube 151 and rotating the rotating body 110. As shown in FIG. 9, the jig 160 includes a knob 161 for an operator to grip, a cylindrical blade 162 for separating the mark tube 151 from the mark tube coupling body 152, and a cross groove of the housing groove 111. An engagement shaft 163 that engages with the groove wall and rotates the rotating body 110 and a central shaft 164 that is adjacent to the engagement shaft 163 and defines a rotation center are provided. The cylindrical blade 162 has an inner diameter in which the rotating body 110 can be inserted. Therefore, in a state in which the mark tube coupling body 152 is fitted in the receiving groove 111 of the adjacent rotating body 110, the cylindrical blade 162 is put on the rotating body 110 and pressed downward to cut the connection between the mark tubes 151. The mark tube 151 can be separated from the mark tube coupling body 152 (see FIG. 11). Then, when the knob 161 is twisted with the cylindrical blade 162 covered on the rotating body 110, the jig 160 rotates around the central shaft 164, and the engagement shaft 163 engages with the inner surface of the accommodation groove 111. The rotating body 110 can be rotated.

  Furthermore, as will be described later, the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 assigns the marks of the mark tubes 151 to be attached to the wires 151 to the rotating bodies 110 based on the correspondence between the wires W and the marks of the mark tubes 151. In addition, a display body 140 that is displayed beside the holding body 130 may be provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the display body 140 is formed with a plurality of mark display portions 141 indicating the mark of the mark tube 151 and the direction thereof. The display body 140 indicates which wire rod W is attached with which mark tube 151 in which direction, and is formed based on, for example, a distribution diagram.

  In addition, the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment further includes an expansion base 105 including a plurality of rotating bodies 110 and a plurality of holding bodies 130. The expansion base 105 can be fixed to the end portion of the base 101 in the longitudinal direction via the expansion portion 103. At this time, the jig holding portion 104 is extracted from the base 101, and the rotation base 120 for expansion is newly inserted into the fixing hole 102. That is, the specifications of the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 can be easily changed according to the number of mark tubes 151 and wires W to be sorted.

  Next, an example of how to use the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15.

  First, the mark tube coupling body 152 in which the mark tubes 151 are arranged in accordance with the power distribution diagram is pulled out from the reel body 150 at a predetermined length (the length corresponding to 10 pieces of the mark tubes 151). The mark tube 151 is pushed into the receiving groove 111 of each rotating body 110. Next, as shown in FIG. 11, each mark tube 151 is separated from the mark tube coupling body 152 using a jig 160. Although not shown in FIG. 11, the display body 140 to which the mark display portion 141 is attached at a position corresponding to each rotating body 110 and the holding body 130 may be disposed under the base 101.

  In the method described here, as shown in FIG. 12, the display body 140 includes a mark display portion 141 that is attached to the holding body 130 and the rotating body 110 by one. That is, according to the instruction of the display body 140, the two mark tubes 151 are attached to one wire W. Hereinafter, the mark tube 151 and the wire W are sorted so that the mark and orientation of the mark tube 151 are arranged so as to match the mark display unit 141 of the display body 140.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the rotation base 120 is rotated 90 degrees, and the pair of rotating bodies 110 are aligned in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the mark tubes 151 are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction from a state of being arranged in the longitudinal direction. At this time, in the relationship between the mark tube 151 and the adjacent mark display unit 141, the marks match, but the directions of the marks are different. From this state, as shown in FIG. 14, the rotating body 110 is rotated 180 degrees so that the direction of the mark matches with the jig 160. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, the mark tubes 151 are arranged as instructed by the display body 140. Subsequently, the wire W is inserted through the mark tubes 151 arranged in the orthogonal direction of the base 101. Then, the wire W extending from the mark tube 151 is accommodated in the recessed portion 131 through the opening 133, and the wire W is sandwiched between the clip portions 132, whereby the two mark tubes 151 are combined with the predetermined wire W in a predetermined combination. Can be temporarily installed. As shown in FIG. 15, the same work is performed on all five wire rods W, whereby the sorting of the plurality of mark tubes 151 with respect to the plurality of wire rods W is completed.

  With the wire W and the mark tube 151 being sorted by the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the terminal is crimped to the wire W and sent to the step of fixing the mark tube 151 to the wire W. Although the description of the next step is omitted, for example, an existing apparatus such as Patent Document 1 may be used. In addition, since it is possible to carry out each process collectively by deliberately separating the process of assembling (temporarily mounting) the mark tube 151 and the wire W and the process of fixing the mark tube 151 to the wire W. Efficiency improves dramatically.

  In addition, the usage method demonstrated above is only an example, and the usage method of the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 of this embodiment is not limited. For example, the wire W and the mark tube 151 may be sorted in a one-to-one relationship using the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 as it is in the initial form. Further, the mark tube 151 may be individually inserted into the receiving groove 111 in accordance with the instruction of the display body 140 without using the mark tube coupling body 152.

  Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the mark tube 151 is turned into the wire W as instructed by the display body 140 by rotating the rotating body 120 holding the mark tube 151 with a predetermined mark. The wire rod W is inserted into the mark tube 151 aligned in a predetermined direction and the wire W is held by the holding body 130 so that the predetermined mark tube 151 is held in a predetermined direction. It can be temporarily attached to the wire W. That is, the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 maintains a state in which mark tubes 151 with predetermined marks are combined in a specific direction with respect to a plurality of wire rods W, and the subsequent main mounting (fixing) operation is easily and accurately performed. Assist in doing. Therefore, the mark tube sorting apparatus 100 of this embodiment can reduce the occurrence of mistakes in sorting work of the wire W and the mark tube 151 and wiring manufacturing.
