FIG. 1 shows a jig plate (laying work table) 1 of a wire harness routing device that places a wire harness group of an automatic assembly and transfer device for finished assembly products according to the present invention and performs predetermined routing. Yes.
The jig plate 1 is a work table on which a wire harness 2 is arranged, and a connector 3 is attached to the end of the wire harness 2 or a tarp is wound around the corrugated tube 4.

The wire harness groups here are wire harnesses corresponding to four different vehicle types, “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, and “narrow left”, depending on the type of vehicle. There is no commonality, and there is more than one type of wire harness for each vehicle type, instead of one type of vehicle, “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, and “narrow left”. This is because a plurality of types of wire harnesses used in one automobile of one vehicle type are routed by one jig plate (laying work table) 1.
The jig plate 1 moves around the rail plate 5 from the position where the wire harness 2 is arranged until the wiring work is completed and removed from the jig plate 1. Therefore, the worker who performs the routing work performs the routing work while moving as the jig plate 1 moves.

  A plurality of jig plates 1 are provided in accordance with the vehicle type for each of the plurality of vehicle types of the wire harness to be arranged. FIG. 1 shows one of the plurality of routing work tables. In the present embodiment, four types of different work benches (jigs) are assumed as the types of automobiles: “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, and “narrow left”. Therefore, in the present embodiment, these four types of wire harness groups for each vehicle type are routed by separate routing work tables (jig plates).

As shown in FIG. 2, the jig plate 1 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to a movable base 6 so as to run on a rail plate 5 provided in a long oval shape.
The movable table 6 is configured by combining a plurality of poles (combining a plurality of poles is merely an example. By configuring with the poles, there is an advantage that the movable table 6 can be configured to be lightweight. is there).
A caster 7 is attached to the lower part of the movable table 6, and the movable table 6 travels on the rail plate 5 when the caster 7 rolls.

The movable table 6 is placed on the rail plate 5, and the rail plate 5 is formed in a long oval shape. A chain 8 that is driven by a drive source (not shown) is suspended from the center of the rail plate 5.
The movable table 6 is connected to the chain 8 by a joint 9. Therefore, when the chain 8 moves, the moving base 6 is guided by the chain 8 and moves as the chain 8 moves.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a detection pin 10 is attached to the movable table 6. The detection pin 10 is formed by a pin that is attached to the leg 11 of the movable table 6 and protrudes toward the inside of the rail plate 5.
The detection pin 10 is configured to automatically determine the type and type of the wire harness group attached to the jig plate 1 according to the attachment height position of the detection pin 10. That is, depending on the height position at which the detection pin 10 is attached, the vehicle type and type of the wire harness group arranged by the jig plate 1 is any one of “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, and “narrow left”. It is discriminating whether it is a car model. Accordingly, the detection pin 10 identifies four types of vehicles, “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, and “narrow left”, respectively, so that “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right” ”And“ narrow left ”are provided at positions corresponding to the height positions.

  The detection pin 10 has an effect of specifying whether the vehicle type and type of the wire harness group attached to the jig plate 1 is “wide right”, “wide left”, “narrow right”, or “narrow left”. Also have. That is, when the detection pin 10 is detected by a detection device (not shown), the wire harness group of the vehicle type detected by the detection pin 10 is instructed to the worker, and the wire harness group attached to the jig plate 1 by the worker. So that the selection of

In this manner, the wire harnesses arranged in the jig plate 1 with the wire harnesses attached to the jig plate 1 are attached with the wire harness specified at the attachment height position of the detection pin 10.
Such a jig plate 1, rail plate 5, moving table 6, and detection pin 10 constitute a wire harness routing device 12.
