The present invention seeks to solve the above problems.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric wire selection device in which electric wire fixing holes for fixing the tip portions of a plurality of electric wires of different types drawn from an electric wire roll are arranged vertically and horizontally. A plate-shaped electric wire fixing member provided, a vertical direction moving device which is disposed on both side surfaces of the electric wire fixing member and vertically moves to support the member, and a horizontal direction in which the vertical direction moving device is mounted and the device is moved left and right. A moving device, an electric wire drawing device arranged on the electric wire drawing side of the electric wire fixing member and fixed at a predetermined position, and a control device for connecting the vertical direction moving device and the horizontal direction moving device and driving each of them. Is characterized by.

The selection of electric wires using the apparatus according to this embodiment is performed as follows. First, a plurality of different types of electric wires are pulled out from the electric wire roll, and the tip ends of the respective electric wires are inserted and fixed in the respective electric wire fixing holes of the electric wire fixing member.

Next, a signal is sent from the control device to the horizontal direction moving device and the vertical direction moving device, the vertical direction moving device is moved left and right, and the wire fixing member is moved up and down so that the tip of the desired type of electric wire is moved. After the position of the fixed electric wire fixing hole reaches the position where the electric wire drawing device is arranged, the electric wire drawing device grabs and draws the tip of the desired kind of electric wire and supplies it to the electric wire processing device.

In this embodiment, since the wire fixing holes arranged in the wire fixing member are two-dimensionally arranged, the size can be reduced as compared with the conventional one-dimensionally arranged device.
It is possible to increase the types of electric wires that can be selected, and it is possible to reduce the size of the electric wire processing apparatus body equipped with the electric wires.
