It becomes a position for setting the length of the harness, and the stretched members 16, 17, 18 hold the length when deployed. In addition, each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, 15 is set with the sub-assembly wire harness 50 that has been conveyed from another place in a state where the respective elastic members 16, 17, 18 are contracted before deployment. Thereby, it is possible to use the slide jig plates 12, 13, and 14 while keeping a predetermined length to be set without removing them.
The first, second, third and fourth slide jig plates 12 have a vertical width perpendicular to the developing direction of the first, second and third folding hinge members 16, 17 and 18 in the horizontal plane. , 13, 14, and 15 can be more reliably prevented from falling off parts, jigs, and the like during deployment.

Next, a method for manufacturing a wire harness using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 will be described.
First, the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 is set to a state before deployment (see FIG. 1). The set in a state before deployment refers to the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13 as the first, second, and third bent hinge members 16, 17, and 18 are contracted, respectively. , 14 and 15 are brought into contact with each other. Then, by pressing the lock pile 26, the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are positioned at the pre-deployment positions.

  In this pre-deployment state, the connector 51 of the sub-assembly wire harness 50 that has been carried from the sub-assembly wire harness assembly process onto the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15. Are placed, and each branch line 52 in the vicinity of each connector 51 and each branch line 52 drawn from each connector 51 are connected to the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15, each branch line holding member 25 is hooked, and each trunk line holding member 24 on the first, second, third and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 has a branch portion of the main line 53. It is hooked.

  Moreover, in this state before expansion | deployment, between 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th slide jig | tool plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 is compressed compared with the horizontal direction dimension at the time of expansion | deployment. Therefore, the main line holding members 24 are close to each other, and the main line 53 hangs down to the operator side.

  Subsequently, the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 is deployed (see FIG. 3). The unfolding is performed by moving the fourth slide jig plate 15 to the right side by the operator, via the third, second, and first center folding hinge members 18, 17, 16. The slide jig plates 14 and 13 are sequentially slid and moved. Then, the locking member 22 is inserted into the engagement hole 23 of the fourth slide jig plate 15 by the operator.

  By deploying the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the trunk line holding members 24 in the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15 are arranged at a predetermined distance, whereby each trunk line holding member 24 is arranged. Each of the trunk lines 53 that are hooked to each other is linearly shaped with a predetermined dimension. At this time, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are mechanically connected via the first, second, and third bent hinge members 16, 17, and 18, respectively. The length of the trunk line 53 can be set in a state where there is no error or deviation in the distance between the jig plates 12, 13, 14, 15.

  Then, post-processing such as tape winding or coating treatment is performed on the branch line 52 that is easily entangled when it is removed from the linearly shaped trunk line 53 and the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 and set in the finishing jig. As a result, the production of the wire harness is completed, and it is transported to the next inspection process.

  According to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the first, second, third, and fourth slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are first, second, and third extendable members 16, 17, The state where 18 is extended is a position for setting the length of the wire harness, and at that time, the extended length is held by the extended elastic members 16, 17, 18. Further, each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, 15 is set with the sub-assembly wire harness 50 that has been conveyed from another place in a state where the respective elastic members 16, 17, 18 are contracted before deployment. Therefore, it is possible to use the slide jig plates 12, 13, and 14 while keeping a predetermined length to be set without removing them. Thereby, the dimensional accuracy of a wire harness can be manufactured for a long term. In the manufacturing process using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10 as described above, the same route is duplicated a plurality of times, but it is not necessary to accurately trace the wires of the wire harness along the route. Man-hours can be shortened. In addition, since the work conventionally performed in the assembly process can be performed outside the assembly process, the number of man-hours required for the assembly process can be reduced, and the number of jigs can be reduced.

  Further, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the lock pile 26 of the fourth slide jig plate 15 is locked to the rail 20 before deployment. Since the lock pile 26 is locked to the rail 20 after the operator confirms the position of each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, 15, each slide jig plate 12, 13, 14, 15 is locked. Therefore, when the sub-assembly wire harness 50 is set before deployment, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 can be accurately arranged.

  In addition, according to the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are fixed at the deployed position by locking the locking member 22 during deployment. Since no error occurs in the distance between the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15, the length of the wire harness can be reliably set to a predetermined value.

  In addition, according to the method of manufacturing a wire harness using the wire harness manufacturing apparatus 10, the sub-assembly wire harness 50 conveyed from another location in a state in which the respective elastic members 16, 17, 18 are contracted before deployment is provided. When the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 are unfolded through the expansion members 16, 17, and 18, the expansion members 16, 17, and 18 are extended, The length is set. Therefore, it is possible to use the slide jig plates 12, 13, 14, and 15 while keeping a predetermined length to be set without removing them. Thereby, the dimensional accuracy of a wire harness can be manufactured for a long term.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A deformation | transformation, improvement, etc. are possible suitably.
For example, the number of slide jig plates, the number of branch wire holding members, the number of trunk wire holding members, and the number of branch wires are appropriately increased or increased depending on the length of the applied wire harness, the number of connectors, and the number of branches.
