Thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus

2:

• The thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
• the holding member includes a plurality of clamp members each including a part of the wall,
• the thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus further includes:
• a driving device driving the plurality of clamp members in a radial direction of the accommodation space to cause the plurality of clamp members to grasp or release the thermally shrinkable tube accommodated in the accommodation space,
• a moving device moving at least one of an electric wire to be inserted into the thermally shrinkable tube and the holding member in the axial direction to insert the electric wire into the thermally shrinkable tube accommodated in the accommodation space, and
• a control device controlling the hot air generation device, the driving device and the moving device, and
• the control device is configured:
• to control the driving device to cause the plurality of clamp members to grasp the thermally shrinkable tube and to control the moving device to insert the electric wire into the thermally shrinkable tube in the state where the plurality of clamp members grasp the thermally shrinkable tube, and
• to control, after the electric wire is inserted into the thermally shrinkable tube, the driving device to cause the plurality of clamp members to release the thermally shrinkable tube, and further to control the hot air generation device to send the hot air into the supply opening.

4:

• The thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
• the hot air generation device includes an hot air outlet, through which the hot air is blown out, and
• the thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus further includes:
• a cool air generation device including a cool air outlet, through which cool air is blown out, and
• a switch device capable of moving at least one of the hot air generation device, the cool air generation device and the holding member to cause the hot air outlet or the cool air outlet to face the supply opening.

5:

• The thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a cool air generation device generating cool air,
• wherein:
• the holding member includes a second inlet flow path including a second supply opening opened to the outer surface of the holding member and a second inlet opening opened to the wall, and
• the cool air generation device sends the cool air into the second supply opening.

11:

• The thermally shrinkable tube heating apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
• an insertion member to be inserted into the accommodation space so as to partition the inlet opening and the outlet opening from each other, and
• an insertion member driving device inserting the insertion member into the accommodation space to put the insertion member into contact with the thermally shrinkable tube accommodated in the accommodation space, or retracting the insertion member from the accommodation space,
• wherein the insertion member includes a cutout or a through-hole causing an area on the side of the inlet opening with respect to the insertion member and an area on the side of the outlet opening with respect to the insertion member to communicate with each other.
