Description

本発明は、布線板上の所定の経路に沿って電線を配置する布線装置、および布線板上の所定の経路に沿って電線を配置する前に実行する布線前処理方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a wiring device that arranges electric wires along a predetermined path on a wiring board, and a wiring pre-processing method that is executed before arranging the electric wires along a predetermined path on the wiring board.

自動車等の車両には、車体に配索される複数のワイヤハーネスの分岐および接続等をするための電気回路を収納した電気接続箱(即ち、エレクトリック・ジャンクション・ブロック)が搭載されている。   An electric connection box (that is, an electric junction block) that stores an electric circuit for branching and connecting a plurality of wire harnesses arranged in the vehicle body is mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile.

電気接続箱では、その内部の電気回路の形成に導電性金属板を打ち抜き加工して形成されるバスバーが一般には用いられるが、設計変更に容易に対応できる等といった利点から、布線板上で電線を所定の経路に沿ってはわせたもの(即ち、布線された布線板)も用いられている。   In an electrical junction box, a bus bar formed by punching a conductive metal plate is generally used to form an electrical circuit inside the electrical connection box. However, on the wiring board, it can be easily adapted to design changes. A wire in which electric wires are arranged along a predetermined path (that is, a wired wiring board) is also used.

布線板に布線する布線装置として、布線経路を規定する布線板の配線溝に沿って布線板上を移動するヘッドから電線を送り出し、当該送り出された電線の所定箇所(特に、布線板から浮き上がり易い屈曲部や端末部等)を、ヘッドに布線板に向けて出没自在に設けられたピン部材を用いて、配線溝に押し込むもようにしたものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   As a wiring device for wiring to a wiring board, an electric wire is sent out from a head that moves on the wiring board along a wiring groove of the wiring board that defines a wiring path, and a predetermined portion of the sent electric wire (particularly, In addition, it is known that a bent portion or a terminal portion, which is easily lifted from the wiring board, is pushed into the wiring groove by using a pin member provided so as to be able to protrude and retract toward the wiring board on the head. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

この布線装置では、ヘッドの送出口から送り出された後の電線の布線方向を定め易くするために、電線が布線板(より詳細には、配線溝底面)に対して傾斜させられた状態で、ヘッドの送出口から送り出される。この種の布線装置によれば、電線を布線板に対して垂直な状態で、ヘッドの送出口から送り出す従来の布線装置と比較して、布線開始時の配線溝への電線の進入が容易になっている。   In this wiring apparatus, the electric wires are inclined with respect to the wiring board (more specifically, the bottom surface of the wiring groove) in order to easily determine the wiring direction of the electric wires after being sent out from the head outlet. In the state, it is sent out from the outlet of the head. According to this type of wiring device, compared to the conventional wiring device that sends out the electric wire from the head outlet in a state perpendicular to the wiring plate, the electric wire to the wiring groove at the start of wiring Easy to enter.

この布線装置は、特に、配線溝底面に対して電線を傾斜させた状態でヘッドから送り出す構成を採るため、布線開始前に、布線板端面(例えば四角い布線板であれば、その輪郭を形成する四面のうちいずれか一面)にある配線溝の電線進入口の位置に応じて電線の送り出し方向を変えられる旋回可能な(即ち、回転自在な)ヘッドを備えていなければ、本来望まれる能力を発揮できない。   In particular, this wiring device adopts a configuration in which the wire is sent out from the head in a state where the electric wire is inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the wiring groove. Therefore, before starting the wiring, the wiring plate end face (for example, a rectangular wiring board, Originally, it is desirable if it does not have a swivelable head (ie, a rotatable head) that can change the wire feeding direction in accordance with the position of the wire entrance of the wiring groove on any one of the four surfaces forming the contour. Can't demonstrate their ability.

また、通常この種の布線装置には布線の際に布線板を載せて移動するXYステージが必要だが、該XYステージといった可動機構に加えて上述の旋回可能なヘッドといった更なる可動機構が設けられていると、機械的精度の確保が難しくなり、布線不良を引き起こす要因になりかねない。その上、旋回可能なヘッドが設けられている分、布線装置を製作する費用が増大することは言うまでもない。   In addition, this type of wiring apparatus usually requires an XY stage on which a wiring board is placed and moved during wiring, but in addition to the movable mechanism such as the XY stage, a further movable mechanism such as the above-described swivel head. If it is provided, it becomes difficult to ensure mechanical accuracy, which may cause a wiring failure. In addition, it goes without saying that the cost of manufacturing the wiring device increases as the swivelable head is provided.

ところで、一般に、布線装置に用いられる電線が、例えば、芯線が比較的硬い単線からなる被覆電線であったり、あるいは比較的やわらかいエナメル線であったりした場合、傾斜しながらヘッドから突出する電線の先端部に曲がり癖が付いていると、電線を単に傾斜させているだけでは電線の方向が正確に定まらず、布線不良を引き起こす可能性が高くなる。   By the way, in general, when the electric wire used in the wiring apparatus is, for example, a coated electric wire made of a relatively hard single wire or a relatively soft enameled wire, an electric wire protruding from the head while being inclined is used. If the tip is bent and has a wrinkle, the direction of the wire is not accurately determined simply by inclining the wire, and there is a high possibility of causing poor wiring.

電線先端折曲機構17は、電線6の先端部に対する接触を開始した際に先ず直角よりも大きい緩やかな角度に電線6の先端部を折り曲げる第1折曲部材17Aと、当該第1折曲部材17Aによる電線6の先端部の折り曲げ後、更に電線6の先端部を略直角に折り曲げる第2折曲部材17Bと、シリンダ15と、を備える。第1折曲部材17Aおよびシリンダ15はステージ13に固定されているが、第2折曲部材17Bは不図示のリンク機構を介してシリンダ15により上下動自在に設けられている。   The electric wire front end bending mechanism 17 includes a first bending member 17A that first bends the front end portion of the electric wire 6 at a gentle angle larger than a right angle when contact with the front end portion of the electric wire 6 is started, and the first bending member. After the bending of the distal end portion of the electric wire 6 by 17A, a second bending member 17B for bending the distal end portion of the electric wire 6 at a substantially right angle and a cylinder 15 are provided. Although the first bending member 17A and the cylinder 15 are fixed to the stage 13, the second bending member 17B is provided to be movable up and down by the cylinder 15 via a link mechanism (not shown).

より詳細には、第1折曲部材17Aはヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aに対して垂直に延長する棒状(より具体的には四角柱状)の本体を有し、当該本体の上端には複数(具体的には4つ)の第1テーパ面17Aaが形成されている。また、第2折曲部材17Bは、図9(a)、図9(b)および図9(c)から明らかなように第1折曲部材17Aの本体の長手方向に上下動自在に設けられ且つ第1折曲部材17Aの本体の外周面を囲む枠状の本体を有し、当該本体の上端には、複数の第1テーパ面17Aaにそれぞれ平行に設けられた複数(具体的には4つ)の第2テーパ面17Baと、当該第2テーパ面17Baに連続する、ヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aと平行な平坦面17Bbと、が形成されている。   More specifically, the first bending member 17A has a rod-shaped (more specifically, a quadrangular prism-shaped) main body that extends perpendicularly to the lower surface 4a of the main body 4A of the head 4, and a plurality of the first bending members 17A are arranged at the upper end of the main body. (Specifically, four) first tapered surfaces 17Aa are formed. Further, as is apparent from FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C, the second bending member 17B is provided so as to be movable up and down in the longitudinal direction of the main body of the first bending member 17A. The main body of the first bending member 17A has a frame-shaped main body that surrounds the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of (specifically four) are provided at the upper end of the main body in parallel with the plurality of first tapered surfaces 17Aa. And a flat surface 17Bb parallel to the lower surface 4a of the main body 4A of the head 4 and continuous with the second tapered surface 17Ba.

図9(b)に示されるように第2折曲部材17Bが下側位置にあるとき、電線6の先端部が直角よりも大きい緩やかな角度に折り曲げられるように第1折曲部材17Aの第1テーパ面17Aaおよび第2折曲部材17Bの第2テーパ面17Baが電線6の先端部に当接し、その後、図9(c)に示されるように第2折曲部材17Bが上側に移動することにより平坦面17Bbが電線6の先端部をヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aに押し付けて略直角に折り曲げる。   As shown in FIG. 9 (b), when the second bending member 17B is in the lower position, the first bending member 17A is bent so that the tip end portion of the electric wire 6 is bent at a gentle angle larger than a right angle. 1 taper surface 17Aa and 2nd taper surface 17Ba of 2nd bending member 17B contact | abut to the front-end | tip part of the electric wire 6, and 2nd bending member 17B moves upwards, as FIG.9 (c) shows after that. As a result, the flat surface 17Bb presses the tip end portion of the electric wire 6 against the lower surface 4a of the main body 4A of the head 4 and bends at a substantially right angle.

このように構成された布線装置1の詳細について以下に説明する。   Details of the wiring apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described below.

図1および図2に示すように、布線装置1は、基台2と、上述のステージ13と、上述のヘッド4と、当該ヘッド4に電線6を供給する電線供給部5とで大略構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the wiring device 1 is roughly configured by a base 2, the above-described stage 13, the above-described head 4, and an electric wire supply unit 5 that supplies electric wires 6 to the head 4. Has been.

図1〜図2に示すように、ステージ13は、基台2の上で、第1直動装置11(この第1直動装置11の延在方向を以後X軸方向と規定する。)と当該第1直動装置11に直交する第2直動装置12(この第2直動装置の延在方向を以後Y軸方向と規定する。)との組み合わせにより水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動可能とされている。布線板31(図7参照。)は、このステージ13の上段板の上面13aに水平に載置され、不図示の保持機構により保持される。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the stage 13 on the base 2 is a first linear motion device 11 (the extending direction of the first linear motion device 11 is hereinafter defined as an X-axis direction). Moves in the horizontal direction (XY axis direction) in combination with a second linear motion device 12 orthogonal to the first linear motion device 11 (the extension direction of the second linear motion device is hereinafter defined as the Y-axis direction). It is possible. The wiring board 31 (see FIG. 7) is horizontally placed on the upper surface 13a of the upper plate of the stage 13 and is held by a holding mechanism (not shown).

図1に示すように、ヘッド4は、基台2に組み付けられているフレーム14に固定され、ステージ13よりも上方に配置されている。そして、このヘッド4に電線6を供給する電線供給部5は、ヘッド4の上端部に配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the head 4 is fixed to a frame 14 assembled to the base 2 and is disposed above the stage 13. An electric wire supply unit 5 that supplies the electric wires 6 to the head 4 is disposed at the upper end of the head 4.

電線供給部5には複数のプーリ16が設けられている。リール(不図示)に巻回されている電線6は、リールから引き出され、複数のプーリ16間に懸架されて捩れなどを矯正されながら、電線供給部5からヘッド4に向けて略鉛直下方に送り出される。   The electric wire supply unit 5 is provided with a plurality of pulleys 16. An electric wire 6 wound around a reel (not shown) is pulled out from the reel, suspended between a plurality of pulleys 16 to correct twisting, etc., and substantially vertically downward from the electric wire supply unit 5 toward the head 4. Sent out.

図1および図4に示すように、ヘッド4は、その中央部に、鉛直方向に貫通し且つ、電線供給部5から送り出された電線6が挿通される挿通孔18が設けられている。電線供給部5から略鉛直下方に送り出された電線6は、挿通孔18の上部開口から当該挿通孔18内に挿入され、そして、ヘッド4の下面4aにある挿通孔18の送出口19から鉛直に送り出される。   As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the head 4 is provided with an insertion hole 18 at the center thereof through which the electric wire 6 penetrating in the vertical direction and inserted from the electric wire supply unit 5 is inserted. The electric wire 6 sent out substantially vertically downward from the electric wire supply unit 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 18 from the upper opening of the insertion hole 18, and then vertically from the outlet 19 of the insertion hole 18 in the lower surface 4 a of the head 4. Sent out.

更に図5を参照して、ヘッド4には、送出口19から送り出された電線6を布線板31(図7参照。)に押圧するためのピン部材20が複数付設されている。各ピン部材20は、ヘッド4の内部を鉛直方向に延長し、ヘッド4の下面4aに開口する収容孔21に収納されており、基端部20bがリンク機構を介してシリンダ22に押圧されることにより、先端部20aが、ヘッド4の下面4aにおける収容孔21の開口から鉛直下方に突出するようになっている。   Further, referring to FIG. 5, the head 4 is provided with a plurality of pin members 20 for pressing the electric wire 6 delivered from the delivery port 19 against the wiring board 31 (see FIG. 7). Each pin member 20 extends in the vertical direction inside the head 4 and is accommodated in an accommodation hole 21 that opens on the lower surface 4a of the head 4, and the base end portion 20b is pressed against the cylinder 22 via a link mechanism. As a result, the tip 20 a protrudes vertically downward from the opening of the accommodation hole 21 in the lower surface 4 a of the head 4.

更に図6を参照して、ヘッド4には、送出口19の直近で電線6を切断するための一対の刃23が付設されている。一対の刃23は、挿通孔18の中心軸に関して互いに対称に挿通孔18から放射状に水平に伸びる一対の収容溝24内にそれぞれ収容されている。そして、一対の刃23は、基端部23bがリンク機構を介して不図示のシリンダに押圧されることにより、鋭利な先端部23aが収容溝24から挿通孔18内に突出するようになっており、電線6は、挿通孔18内に突出した両先端部23aに挟まれて切断される。   Further, referring to FIG. 6, the head 4 is provided with a pair of blades 23 for cutting the electric wire 6 in the vicinity of the outlet 19. The pair of blades 23 are respectively housed in a pair of housing grooves 24 extending horizontally from the insertion hole 18 symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the insertion hole 18. The pair of blades 23 are configured such that the sharp end portion 23a protrudes from the receiving groove 24 into the insertion hole 18 when the base end portion 23b is pressed by a cylinder (not shown) via the link mechanism. The electric wire 6 is cut by being sandwiched between both end portions 23 a protruding into the insertion hole 18.

図7に示すように、電線6が布線される布線板31には、所定の複数の布線経路が設けられ、各布線経路に沿ってその両側に連続または断続して側壁32が立設されている。換言すれば、これらの側壁32により布線経路を形成する配線溝が設けられる。つまり、電線6は、互いに対向する一組の側壁32間に形成された配線溝に挿入される。また、布線板31の端部には、電線6が配線溝に嵌め込まれる際に最初に進入する配線溝の電線進入口32aが複数設けられている。その他、布線板の例として特開2001−320817号公報で開示されているもの等が挙げられる。   As shown in FIG. 7, a predetermined plurality of wiring paths are provided on the wiring board 31 on which the electric wires 6 are wired, and side walls 32 are formed continuously or intermittently on both sides along each wiring path. It is erected. In other words, these side walls 32 provide wiring grooves that form a wiring path. That is, the electric wire 6 is inserted into a wiring groove formed between a pair of side walls 32 facing each other. The wiring board 31 is provided with a plurality of wire entrances 32a for wiring grooves that enter first when the electric wires 6 are fitted into the wiring grooves. Other examples of the wiring board include those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-320817.

ここで、図7に示す布線板31に限らず、一般に、布線板における布線経路の大部分はX軸またはY軸に平行に設定される。そこで、本実施形態においては、複数のピン部材20は、挿通孔18の周囲において、X軸に沿って挿通孔18を挟む2箇所、またY軸に沿って挿通孔18を挟む2箇所に配設されている。   Here, not only the wiring board 31 shown in FIG. 7, but generally, most of the wiring paths in the wiring board are set parallel to the X axis or the Y axis. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the plurality of pin members 20 are arranged around the insertion hole 18 at two locations that sandwich the insertion hole 18 along the X axis and at two locations that sandwich the insertion hole 18 along the Y axis. It is installed.

次に、図8を参照して、上述のように構成された布線装置1を用いた布線板31への電線6の布線方法を説明する。   Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the wiring method of the electric wire 6 to the wiring board 31 using the wiring apparatus 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

ヘッド4が布線経路に沿って布線板31上を移動するように、布線板31を保持したステージ13が移動する。   The stage 13 holding the wiring board 31 moves so that the head 4 moves on the wiring board 31 along the wiring path.

電線6は、鉛直方向に延長するヘッド4の挿通穴18の送出口19から布線板31に垂直に送り出され、布線経路を規定する布線板31の側壁32間に挿入されると共に布線板31の底板33に当接して屈曲し、ヘッド4の相対移動に伴ってヘッド4の相対移動方向Aにみて送出口19の後側に流れていく。   The electric wire 6 is fed vertically from the feed port 19 of the insertion hole 18 of the head 4 extending in the vertical direction to the wiring board 31 and is inserted between the side walls 32 of the wiring board 31 that defines the wiring path. The wire 4 comes into contact with the bottom plate 33 and bends, and flows along the relative movement direction A of the head 4 toward the rear side of the delivery port 19 with the relative movement of the head 4.

そして、ヘッド4の相対移動方向Aにみて送出口19の後側に配設されているピン部材20がヘッド4から布線板31に向けて突出され、当該ピン部材20が、ヘッド4の相対移動に伴って、先端部20aにより電線6を布線板31の底板33に連続的に付勢する。これにより、電線6は、底板33から浮き上がることなく、布線板31の布線経路に布線される。   Then, the pin member 20 disposed on the rear side of the delivery port 19 as viewed in the relative movement direction A of the head 4 protrudes from the head 4 toward the wiring board 31, and the pin member 20 is relative to the head 4. Along with the movement, the electric wire 6 is continuously urged to the bottom plate 33 of the wiring board 31 by the distal end portion 20a. Thereby, the electric wire 6 is wired to the wiring path of the wiring board 31 without floating from the bottom plate 33.

次に、図9(a)、図9(b)および図9(c)を参照して、図8で説明した布線板31への布線が開始される前に実行される電線先端折曲機構17の動作について説明する。   Next, with reference to FIG. 9A, FIG. 9B, and FIG. 9C, the wire end folding performed before the wiring to the wiring board 31 described in FIG. 8 is started. The operation of the bending mechanism 17 will be described.

先ず、図9(a)に示される折曲準備ステップでは、ヘッド4の送出口19から下方に突出した電線6の先端部近傍に電線先端折曲機構17が位置するようにステージ13が移動する。そして、図9(b)に示される第1折曲ステップでは、更にステージ13が図中の左側に移動し、このステージ13の移動により第1折曲部材17Aの複数の第1テーパ面17Aaのうちの一つが電線6の先端部に当接して電線6の先端部を直角よりも大きい緩やかな角度に折り曲げる。このとき、その第1テーパ面17Aaと平行な第2折曲部材17Bの第2テーパ面17Baも電線6の先端部に当接するが、この当接は電線6の先端部の折り曲げ案内にもなっている。尚、図9(a)および図9(b)に示されるステップでは、第2折曲部材17Bが下側位置にある。そして、第1折曲ステップ後の、図9(c)に示される第2折曲ステップでは、第2折曲部材17Bが上側に移動することにより平坦面17Bbが電線6の先端部をヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aに押し付けて略直角に折り曲げる。その後、第2折曲部材17Bが下側に移動してから更にステージ13が図中の左側に移動し、図9(c)のように電線6の先端部を折り曲げたことにより形成された電線6の角部から電線6の先端部が、布線板31の端部の電線進入口32a(図7参照。)に進入するように導かれる。その後は、図8を参照して説明したとおりである。   First, in the bending preparation step shown in FIG. 9A, the stage 13 moves so that the wire tip bending mechanism 17 is positioned near the tip of the wire 6 protruding downward from the outlet 19 of the head 4. . Then, in the first bending step shown in FIG. 9B, the stage 13 further moves to the left in the figure, and the movement of the stage 13 causes the plurality of first tapered surfaces 17Aa of the first bending member 17A to move. One of them comes into contact with the tip of the electric wire 6 and bends the tip of the electric wire 6 at a gentle angle larger than a right angle. At this time, the second taper surface 17Ba of the second bending member 17B parallel to the first taper surface 17Aa also abuts on the distal end portion of the electric wire 6. This abutment also serves as a guide for bending the distal end portion of the electric wire 6. ing. In the steps shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the second bending member 17B is in the lower position. Then, in the second bending step shown in FIG. 9C after the first bending step, the flat surface 17Bb moves the tip of the electric wire 6 over the head 4 by moving the second bending member 17B upward. The main body 4A is pressed against the lower surface 4a and bent at a substantially right angle. Thereafter, after the second bending member 17B moves downward, the stage 13 further moves to the left side in the drawing, and the electric wire formed by bending the tip end portion of the electric wire 6 as shown in FIG. 9C. The leading end portion of the electric wire 6 is guided from the corner portion 6 so as to enter the electric wire entrance 32 a (see FIG. 7) at the end portion of the wiring board 31. The subsequent steps are as described with reference to FIG.

以上、説明したように、布線装置1によれば、電線先端折曲機構17がステージ13に設けられており、布線開始前にヘッド4の送出口19から下方に突出した電線6の先端部に電線先端折曲機構17が接触するようにヘッド4に対してステージ13が相対移動し、そして電線先端折曲機構17が電線6の先端部をヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aに押し付けて折り曲げるので、布線装置1に用いられる電線6が、たとえ、比較的硬い芯線を有する被覆電線、比較的やわらかいエナメル線、等といった塑性変形し易い電線であって、ヘッド4から突出する当該電線6の先端部に曲がり癖が付いていたとしても、電線6の先端部の方向を確実に定めることができる。それ故、布線装置1によれば、布線板31の所定の布線経路を形成する配線溝の電線進入口32aへの布線開始時の電線6の進入が容易になる。従って、布線装置1によれば、布線不良を効果的に防止することができる。よって、布線板製造における歩留まりを改善できるので、省資源化を図ることができる。   As described above, according to the wiring apparatus 1, the wire tip bending mechanism 17 is provided on the stage 13, and the tip of the wire 6 protruding downward from the outlet 19 of the head 4 before starting the wiring. The stage 13 moves relative to the head 4 so that the wire tip bending mechanism 17 comes into contact with the portion, and the wire tip bending mechanism 17 presses the tip of the wire 6 against the lower surface 4a of the main body 4A of the head 4. Since the electric wire 6 used in the wiring apparatus 1 is bent, the electric wire 6 protruding from the head 4 is easily deformed plastically, such as a covered electric wire having a relatively hard core wire, a relatively soft enameled wire, or the like. Even if the leading end of the wire is bent and bent, the direction of the leading end of the electric wire 6 can be determined reliably. Therefore, according to the wiring device 1, it is easy to enter the electric wire 6 at the start of wiring into the electric wire entrance 32 a of the wiring groove that forms a predetermined wiring path of the wiring board 31. Therefore, according to the wiring apparatus 1, wiring defects can be effectively prevented. Therefore, since the yield in manufacturing the wiring board can be improved, resource saving can be achieved.

また、布線装置1によれば、電線先端折曲機構17が電線6の先端部を略直角に折り曲げるので、布線板31の電線進入口32aへの布線開始時の電線6の進入をより容易にすることができる。   Moreover, according to the wiring apparatus 1, since the electric wire front end bending mechanism 17 bends the front-end | tip part of the electric wire 6 at substantially right angle, the approach of the electric wire 6 at the time of the wiring start to the electric wire entrance 32a of the wiring board 31 is carried out. It can be made easier.

また、布線装置1によれば、電線先端折曲機構17が、電線6の先端部に対する接触を開始した際に先ず直角よりも大きな角度に電線6の先端部を折り曲げる第1折曲部材17Aと、当該第1折曲部材17Aによる電線6の先端部の折り曲げ後、更に電線6の先端部を略直角に折り曲げる第2折曲部材17Bと、を含むので、電線6の先端部に曲がり癖が付いていたとしても、電線6の先端部の方向をより確実に定めることができる。   Moreover, according to the wiring apparatus 1, when the electric wire front end bending mechanism 17 starts contact with the front end portion of the electric wire 6, the first bending member 17A that first bends the front end portion of the electric wire 6 at an angle larger than a right angle. And the second bending member 17B that bends the distal end portion of the electric wire 6 at a substantially right angle after the distal end portion of the electric wire 6 is bent by the first bending member 17A. Even if is attached, the direction of the tip of the electric wire 6 can be determined more reliably.

また、布線装置1では、第1折曲部材17Aの棒状の本体の上端に複数の第1テーパ面17Aaが形成され、第1折曲部材17Aの本体の長手方向に上下動自在な第2折曲部材17Bの枠状の本体の上端に、複数の第1テーパ面17Aaにそれぞれ対応して平行に設けられた複数の第2テーパ面17Baと、当該第2テーパ面17Baに連続する、ヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aと平行な平坦面17Bbと、が形成され、そして第2折曲部材17Bが下側位置にあるとき、電線6の先端部が直角よりも大きな角度に折り曲げられるように第1テーパ面17Aaおよび第2テーパ面17Baが電線6の先端部に当接し、その後、第2折曲部材17Bが上側に移動することにより平坦面17Bbが電線6の先端部をヘッド4の本体4Aの下面4aに押し付けて略直角に折り曲げる。それ故、布線装置1では、布線板31の配線溝の電線進入口32aの向けられた方向に応じて、複数の第1テーパ面17Aaのうちいずれかの面とそれに対応して平行に設けられた第2テーパ面17Baのうちいずれかの面で、電線6の先端部が押圧されるように、ヘッド4に対してステージ13が相対移動すればよいため、布線装置1は旋回可能なヘッドを備える必要がない。従って、布線装置1によれば、旋回可能なヘッドを設けずに済む分、機械的精度の確保が容易である上に、布線装置1を製作する費用を低減できる。   Further, in the wiring device 1, a plurality of first tapered surfaces 17Aa are formed at the upper end of the rod-shaped main body of the first bending member 17A, and the second bending movement is vertically movable in the longitudinal direction of the main body of the first bending member 17A. A plurality of second taper surfaces 17Ba provided in parallel with the plurality of first taper surfaces 17Aa at the upper end of the frame-shaped main body of the bending member 17B, and a head continuous with the second taper surfaces 17Ba. When the second bending member 17B is in the lower position, the tip end portion of the electric wire 6 is bent at an angle larger than a right angle when the second bending member 17B is in the lower position. The first taper surface 17Aa and the second taper surface 17Ba abut against the tip of the electric wire 6, and then the second bending member 17B moves upward so that the flat surface 17Bb moves the tip of the electric wire 6 to the main body of the head 4. Lower surface 4a of 4A Pressed bent substantially at a right angle. Therefore, in the wiring device 1, depending on the direction in which the wire entrance 32a of the wiring groove of the wiring board 31 is directed, any one of the plurality of first tapered surfaces 17Aa and the corresponding surface are parallel to each other. Since the stage 13 has only to move relative to the head 4 so that the tip of the electric wire 6 is pressed on any one of the provided second taper surfaces 17Ba, the wiring device 1 can turn. There is no need to provide a simple head. Therefore, according to the wiring device 1, since it is not necessary to provide a head that can be turned, it is easy to ensure mechanical accuracy, and the cost for manufacturing the wiring device 1 can be reduced.

尚、本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜、変形、改良、等が可能である。その他、上述した実施形態における各構成要素の材質、形状、寸法、数値、形態、数、配置箇所、等は本発明を達成できるものであれば任意であり、限定されない。   In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A deformation | transformation, improvement, etc. are possible suitably. In addition, the material, shape, dimension, numerical value, form, number, arrangement location, and the like of each component in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and are not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.

例えば、上述した布線装置1は、ヘッド4を固定し、そしてステージ13を水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動させる形態を採っていたが、ステージ13を固定し、そしてヘッド4を水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動する形態を採るものであってもよい。従って、ヘッド4とステージ13は相対移動する構成であればよい。   For example, the wiring device 1 described above has a configuration in which the head 4 is fixed and the stage 13 is moved in the horizontal direction (XY axis direction), but the stage 13 is fixed and the head 4 is moved in the horizontal direction ( It may be configured to move in the (XY axis direction). Therefore, the head 4 and the stage 13 may be configured to move relative to each other.

また、上述した布線装置1では、電線先端折曲機構17が、例えば図1〜図3から明らかなように布線板31(図7参照。)が載置されるステージ13の上面13aを有するステージ13の上段板とは別の平行な下段板の端部に取り付けられているが、この形態に限らず、前記上段板の端部やステージ13の他の部分に取り付けられている形態であってもよい。   Moreover, in the wiring apparatus 1 mentioned above, the electric wire front end bending mechanism 17 is the upper surface 13a of the stage 13 in which the wiring board 31 (refer FIG. 7) is mounted so that FIG. 1-3 may show clearly, for example. Although it is attached to the end of a parallel lower plate different from the upper plate of the stage 13 it has, it is not limited to this form, and is attached to the end of the upper plate or other parts of the stage 13 There may be.

また、電線先端折曲機構17は、ステージ13とは別体に設けられた機構であってもよい。このように電線先端折曲機構17をステージ13と別体に設ける場合、電線先端折曲機構17は、基台2の上で、ステージ13と同様に第1直動装置11と第2直動装置12の組み合わせによって水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動可能とされた形態、あるいは別に設けられた直動装置によって水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動可能とされた形態を採ればよい。また、例えば、電線先端折曲機構17を水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動可能に構成せず固定し、そしてヘッド4を水平方向(XY軸方向)に移動可能にした形態を採ってもよい。従って、ヘッド4と電線先端折曲機構17は相対移動する構成であればよい。   The wire tip bending mechanism 17 may be a mechanism provided separately from the stage 13. When the electric wire tip bending mechanism 17 is provided separately from the stage 13 in this way, the electric wire tip bending mechanism 17 is arranged on the base 2 in the same manner as the stage 13 in the first linear motion device 11 and the second linear motion. A form that can be moved in the horizontal direction (XY axis direction) by a combination of the devices 12 or a form that can be moved in the horizontal direction (XY axis direction) by a separate linear motion device may be adopted.
