    [0002] DEVICE. SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMPONENT CHECK
    [0003]
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The object of the present invention is a device, a system and a method for checking the installation and location of at least one component in an assembly.
    [0007]
    [0008] Preferably, this device, system and method checks the installation and location of at least one component, such as a clip or a connector, intended to be inserted or placed in a cabling, during, and / or at the end, the assembly process of the wiring.
    [0009]
    [0010] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0011]
    [0012] Currently, it is known that in certain sectors of the cable assembly industry for electrical power, such as in the manufacture of wiring for automobiles, agricultural machinery, trucks, buses, dispensing machines, etc., supports are used to separate and fastening said wiring during the assembly of new cables and various components such as electrical connectors or elements for fixing the wiring to the structures of the electronic system. These wiring fasteners comprise, among other clips, flanges, and clamps.
    [0013]
    [0014] More specifically, for the assembly of the wiring, panels provided with said supports are used, in order to fix the cables while introducing the different cables and the other components that make up the wiring. Usually, these panels can be found in static assembly lines where the panel is static and the operator moves through the panels, or in rotating assembly lines where the panels move and the operator is static.
    [0015] On the other hand, during the assembly, or upon completion, it is necessary to check or supervise the wiring and its components, either in the panel itself or in a desk specially designed for this.
    [0016]
    [0017] Currently, the verification of wiring and its components is one of the greatest challenges for the wiring assembly industry, since an electrical failure not detected during the assembly of the wiring can result in a fault that is difficult to detect once it is installed.
    [0018]
    [0019] Currently, said verification is performed either visually by the operator, or by installing a plurality of electronic sensors in the panels. These sensors require electrical wiring both to be electrically powered and to receive a detection signal, this wiring being a problem especially when you have to check the wiring, or its components, during assembly, or when using rotary assembly lines. This can be translated into having to transport the wiring to a desk whenever a check has to be made, or having to perform a complicated installation of electrical outlets to feed the sensors and data wiring to receive the signal.
    [0020]
    [0021] Due to this, the current systems represent either a high time of verification by the operators, or an increase in the costs and complexity of the panels to perform the check.
    [0022]
    [0023] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0024]
    [0025] A first object of the invention consists in a device for the verification of the installation and the location of at least one component in a wiring during its assembly process.
    [0026]
    [0027] A second object of the invention consists in a system for the verification of the installation and the location of at least one component in a wiring during its assembly process.
    [0028]
    [0029] A third object of invention consists in a method for the verification of the installation and the location of at least one component in a wiring during its assembly process.
    [0030] More specifically, the device comprises:
    [0031]
    [0032] • a first body which in turn comprises an activation mechanism, an indication mechanism, and at least one visualization mechanism, and
    [0033] • a second body which in turn comprises a first opening and a second opening,
    [0034]
    [0035] where :
    [0036] • the mechanism of activation is linked to the mechanism of indication, and this in turn is linked to the mechanism of visualization,
    [0037] • the first opening is configured to be linked, removably, with the activation mechanism of the first body, and
    [0038] • the second opening is configured to receive the component and link it to the activation mechanism, so that when the second opening receives the component, the activation mechanism is pushed by the component and this activates the indication mechanism to align it with the mechanism of visualization and visually indicate the installation and the location of the device in its wiring.
    [0039]
    [0040] Preferably, the activation mechanism comprises:
    [0041] • a cylindrical revolution surface linked to a helical elastic element configured to pivot the cylindrical revolution surface on its own center, from a first preset position to a second pre-established position, and
    [0042] • a slit, made in the edge of the configured cylindrical revolution surface, to receive the component when it is introduced in the second opening and to align with it, so that the push of the component over the slit displaces the cylindrical revolution surface from its first preset position to its second preset position. That is, in the first preset position the slit is configured to receive the component and in the second preset position the slit is aligned with the component due to the thrust thereof.
    [0043] Specifically, the indication mechanism is inserted in the cylinder revolution surface, and comprises a first preset color that stands out on a second pre-set color corresponding to that of the cylindrical revolution surface.
    [0044]
    [0045] Preferably, the first preset color and the second preset color are colors that have a high contrast to each other, for example, and non-limitingly, black and white, yellow and blue, or even that one of them comprises a luminescent pigmentation when excited by predetermined wavelengths of an external light, and the indicating mechanism comprises a "T" configuration, which, when linked to the surface of the cylindrical revolution, also tilts.
    [0046]
    [0047] On the other hand, the visualization mechanism comprises at least one slot disposed on a side face of the first body, so that it exposes the activation mechanism when the cylindrical revolution surface is in the first position, and exposes the indication mechanism when cylindrical revolution surface is in the second position.
    [0048]
    [0049] Preferably, the display mechanism comprises six slots, wherein:
    [0050] • three grooves are arranged on the front, or rear, face of the first body, • each of the three remaining grooves is disposed on each of the three visible side faces of the first body, i.e. the side faces that are not inserted second body, and
    [0051] • each groove on each side face of the first body is aligned with a groove on the front face, or back.
    [0052]
    [0053] In this way, when the indicating mechanism comprises a "T" configuration and the activation mechanism is pushed by the component each terminal of the indicating mechanism is aligned with a groove disposed on the side face and with a groove disposed in the face frontal, or anterior, to allow visual indication of the installation and the location of the device in its wiring from any angle.
    [0054]
    [0055] On the other hand, it should be noted that the second opening of the second body comprises different configurations adapted to receive different components and, when introduced, to link them with the activation mechanism. These Components are selected among: clips, electrical connectors, or other insertable components in wiring.
    [0056]
    [0057] Thus, this device has the advantage that it is visually detectable from any angle and can be used to detect any component of the wiring visually during assembly.
    [0058]
    [0059] On the other hand, the system includes:
    [0060] • at least one device as described above intended to be linked to the component,
    [0061] • a video camera that records at least one strip of the wiring assembly process, and
    [0062] • a control unit linked to the video camera, which in turn comprises a memory with instructions, and at least one microprocessor linked to the memory, where the instructions enable the microprocessor to:
    [0063]
    [0064] or check, from the record of the video camera, that the device is correctly linked to the component,
    [0065]
    [0066] or check, from the record of the video camera, that the position of the device in the wiring corresponds to a reference position,
    [0067]
    [0068] or check, from the record of the video camera, that the visualization mechanism is aligned with the indicating mechanism, and
    [0069]
    [0070] or generate a status signal to indicate to the user the result of the previous checks.
    [0071]
    [0072] Preferably, said video camera is placed in the installations where the wiring assembly process is carried out, at an optimum height to register, without interrupting the operators, at least said strip. This strip comprises at least the partial registration of a panel of the wiring assembly process.
    [0073]
    [0074] More specifically, said video camera is placed between two stages of the assembly process of the cabling for rotating assembly lines, and performs the registration of said strip in the form of a linear sweep while the panel advances and that by means of a supposition of records a registration or total image of the panel.
    [0075] Alternatively, for static assembly lines the camera can be placed at the end of the assembly process stage where it performs the registration in a single shot, forming a total image of the panel.
    [0076]
    [0077] In this way, this system allows to verify the installation and the location of at least one component in an assembly process, without the need to install wired sensors, and without interrupting the assembly process itself.
    [0078]
    [0079] Finally, the method comprises the following stages:
    [0080] • place the wiring in a panel of the wiring assembly process, • link a device with each component to be checked,
    [0081] • register, through the video camera, at least one strip of the panel of the wiring assembly process,
