Research on Visualization Technology of 3D Cable Harness Wiring of Complex Electromechanical Products

Rigid structural parts not only shield the position and pose of the cable harness, but also the position of electrical components interface when wiring due to the narrow interior space and the large number of parts in complex electromechanical products. More than that, it will also affect the normal operation of the device due to inaccurate cable harness installation and poor contact. Based on the above difficulties, the wiring process visualization technology of 3D cable harness was researched. And developed a corresponding prototype system of wiring process visualization for 3D cable harness based on the axis-aligned bounding box technology, and elaborated the functions of how to create, activate, and delete the simplified view of the 3D cable harness wiring. Finally, the method has been verified in the cable harness wiring of a phased array radar model, which proved that the 3D cable harness wiring simplified view created by the system can clearly display the position and pose information of cable harness and electrical connectors, and improved the wiring efficiency.
