DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cord supply device for supplying a cord to a step of processing or forming an end of the cord with an automatic processing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when forming an outlet or a plug in a terminal of a cord, the terminal of the conventional cord 1 is manually stretched by hand so as to be straight, and as shown in FIG. One was attached to each U-shaped groove 90 with both hands.

[0003]

In this case, the operator must use both hands to insert the cord, which requires a large burden and must be constantly attached to the equipment. Also, the equipment cycle depends on the speed at which the operator sets the cord. The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cord supply device capable of supplying cords smoothly and speedily.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a clamp device having a cord insertion hole and a detent for preventing a cord inserted into the cord insertion hole from one end opening thereof from returning. A cord pull-out unit for extending the cord tip by pulling out the tip of the cord inserted into the hole from the clamp device, and opening one side of the cord insertion hole in the clamp device to freely extract the cord from the clamp device. Is characterized in that a clamp lever is provided.

According to the present invention, when an operator inserts the end of the cord into the cord insertion hole, the cord drawer unit extends the end of the cord and opens the clamp lever.
With the cord extended with the
It can be removed from the position, so that it is possible to easily proceed to the next processing on the cord.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. This cord supply device is performed by using a clamp device 2 which is separately installed on a conveyor and circulated. The clamping device 2 here is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, a base 20 and a main body 21 provided on the base 20 and having a groove opened upward,
A clamp lever 23 rotatable by a shaft 22,
And a spring 24 for urging the clamp lever 23 to rotate.
When it is covered with a cord, a cord insertion hole 25 penetrating back and forth is formed. The cord insertion hole 25 has a large diameter at one end side and a detent clamper 26 urged by a spring 27 installed therein. When the cord 1 is inserted from one end side, the detent clamper 26 is used. The bite 26 prevents return.

The operator only has to insert the terminal of the cord 1 into the cord insertion hole 25 of the clamp device 2 from one end thereof. When the cord 1 inserted into the clamp device 2 approaches the drawer unit 3 by the movement of the clamp device 2, its tip is pulled out by the drawer unit 3, and at this time, the end of the cord 1 is straightened. The drawer unit 3 includes, for example, a chuck 30 and a cylinder 31 for moving the chuck 30 as shown in FIG. 4. When the cylinder 31 retracts the chuck 30 holding the tip of the cord 1, the end of the cord 1 is straightened. Stretched.

[0008] Thereafter, the cord 1 has a portion behind the clamp device 2 in a cord ironing unit 4 shown in FIG.
After that, the cord 1 is jig in a state where a supply robot (not shown) presses the clamp lever 23 of the clamp device 2 against the spring 24 to open the cord insertion hole 25 upward. Transfer to The cording / ironing unit 4 is a unit in which a chuck portion 40 for holding the cord 1 is provided with holes adapted to the cord shape and is moved up and down by cylinders 41 and 42 and pulling the cord 1 in the opposite direction performs an ironing operation. The code 1 does not return due to the detent clamper 26.

[0009]

In the present invention as described above, according to the present invention, if the operator can insert a code tip cord insertion hole, on the code drawer units extend the tip of the code, clan
By opening the lever, the end of the cord is stretched
The cord can be removed from the clamp device as it is, so that it is possible to easily proceed to the next processing on the cord. The cord can be supplied speedily and smoothly because it is only necessary to insert the cord, and it is not necessary to perform a straightening operation.
