[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire focusing device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to an electric wire bundling device suitable for automatically taking out an electric wire of a predetermined number after receiving a predetermined number of electric wires (cutting wire) cut by a cutting machine in a tray .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plurality of cutting pressure lines cut to a predetermined length by a cutting machine are collected in a tray, and then an operator bundles the cutting lines for each predetermined number from the tray. I was taking it out.

[0003]

However, since the cutting pressure line is continuously supplied from the pressure cutting machine to the tray, if the operator does not promptly take out a predetermined number of cutting pressure lines from the tray, before the completion of removal. In addition, there is a possibility that the next severing pressure line may be supplied to the tray, which makes it difficult to control the number of lines and also puts a heavy burden on the operator. A sorting device has been proposed which sorts the electric wires into a predetermined number of wires (actually, the 58-
(See Japanese Patent Publication No. 83711), the electric wires are simply divided, and the predetermined number of electric wires are not automatically taken out from the tray. Therefore, the above problem has not been solved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric wire focusing device capable of quickly and easily taking out a predetermined number of electric wires from a tray.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention opens and closes by a first actuator at a side position of a tray for receiving a plurality of electric wires cut into a predetermined length, A pair of claws capable of gripping the electric wire of the saucer from above and below at the time of the closing operation, and a horizontal position where the claw is operated by a second actuator to grip the electric wire of the saucer, and the electric wire gripped from the saucer is received. And a rotating arm for rotating to a vertical position for taking out to the upper side of the claw. When the claw is moved to the upper vertical position by the rotating arm, the claw is opened to both sides from the upper end at that position. The feature is that the electric wire is taken out upward while the electric wire is held on the lower side. Further, a focusing bar that is opened and closed in the width direction by the third actuator and is moved up and down in the vertical direction can be provided on the tray.

[0006]

According to the electric wire concentrating device of the present invention, when a predetermined number of electric wires are received and stored in the pan, the electric wire of the pan is clawed by closing the hook of the rotating arm in the horizontal position with the first actuator. You will be able to grab quickly. Then, when the rotating arm is rotated to the vertical position by the second actuator, the electric wire gripped by the claw from the tray is quickly taken out to the upper side of the tray. When the pawl is opened by the first actuator at this vertical position, the electric wire can be easily taken out upward while the lower portion of the electric wire is supported by the pawl. This makes it possible to quickly and easily take out a predetermined number of electric wires from the tray, which facilitates the management of the number of electric wires and reduces the burden on the operator. Further, when the pawl is opened, the lower side of the electric wire is held by the pawl, so that the electric wire does not drop. Also, if the focusing bar provided on the saucer is closed before closing the claws, the electric wires of the saucer are bundled at the center of the claws, making it easier to grasp and lowering the rotating arm before rotating the vertical position. Then, it will not hinder the removal of the electric wire grasped by the nail.
