When the Proximity operation of movable member 54 bases by 50 execution of driving mechanism section, when namely coating crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and moving down towards coating the operation that crimping bed die 32 and heart yearn crimping bed die 36 move, approach/lock out operation transmission member 70 corresponding moving down.Thus, be positioned at the inclined plane 70a of remote end part of approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 and the inclined plane 62c of move operation power receiving member 62d and form sliding contact, shift to the locomotivity of retracted position to apply the bias force that makes retainer 62 overcome helical spring 66 from restriction site.When the lock out operation of movable member 54 bases by 50 execution of driving mechanism section, when namely coating crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and moving up away from coating the operation that crimping bed die 32 and heart yearn crimping bed die 36 move, approach/lock out operation transmission member 70 corresponding moving up.Thus, the end of approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 moves to the position of move operation power receiving member 62d top to remove described locomotivity, so that retainer 62 is shifted to restriction site by the bias force of helical spring 66 from retracted position.
Approach/distal portion of lock out operation transmission member 70 and the position relationship of move operation power receiving member 62d be set as so that: coating crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and coating crimping bed die 32 and the moment of heart yearn crimping bed die 36 before carrying out crimping operation betwixt, the inclined plane 70a of the inclined plane 62c of move operation power receiving member 62d and approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 can form sliding contact each other so that retainer 62 is shifted to restriction site, and coat crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and coat crimping bed die 32 and heart yearn crimping bed die 36 separated from one another in maximum state (namely, in the state of the setting operation of carrying out crimping terminal 10 and electric wire 16), the contact condition between approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 and the move operation power receiving member 62d can be disengaged.
In this embodiment, approach/lock out operation transmission member 70 and a certain position formation sliding contact of move operation power receiving member 62d on the axial direction of crimping terminal 10.Yet this sliding contact can appear at other position.
To operation and the method that use has a terminal press-connection device 20 of above-mentioned structure be described.
At first, in initial condition, coat crimping bed die 32 and heart yearn crimping bed die 36 and coat crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 (seeing that Fig. 1 is to Fig. 4) separated from one another.In this state, coat pressure contact portion 11 and place on the coating crimping bed die 32, heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 places on the heart yearn crimping bed die 36 in addition, thereby sets crimping terminal 10.At this moment, the space that can pass by the cross side from crimping terminal 10 between heart yearn crimping bed die 36 and the heart yearn contact chip 62b of heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 is arranged on the heart yearn crimping bed die 36.The setting of crimping terminal 10 can be carried out or can carry out by the automatic terminal feedway that comprises known construction with hand.In the situation of using automatic supplier, crimping terminal 10 can be supplied with by the form of chain terminal, and described chain terminal has a plurality of crimping terminals that are connected in parallel to each other or connect 10.Like this, in the state of setting crimping terminal 10, the contact site 62c of the heart yearn contact chip 62b of retainer 62 is arranged in heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 tops (, in heart yearn pressure contact portion 12) and near the position connecting portion 13 here.
In this state, the end of operator grasps electric wire 16, and will expose the 17a of heart yearn section by the direction recess 34a that uses wire guide member 34 and be arranged in the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 is arranged in the end of insulating wrapped section 18 simultaneously and coats in the pressure contact portion 11.The end of at this moment, exposing the 17a of heart yearn section forms with the contact site 62c of the heart yearn contact chip 62b of retainer 62 and contacts (seeing that Fig. 2 is to Fig. 4).Thus, make setting exposing the 17a of heart yearn section and be positioned in the situation in precalculated position.Electric wire 16 can be set by the electric wire feedway that comprises known construction in addition.
In this state, movable member 54 moves down by the driving of driving mechanism section 50, so that coat crimping mold 42, heart yearn crimping mold 46 and separates/and Proximity operation transmission member 70 moves down (approaching movement).
Thus, at first, the inclined plane 70a of the distal portion of approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 and the inclined plane 62c of move operation power receiving member 62d form sliding contact, shift to retracted position so that retainer 62 overcomes the bias force of helical spring 66 from restriction site.This so that the heart yearn contact chip 62b of retainer 62 return from the lower zone for the mobile route of heart yearn crimping mold 46, to avoid the interference between heart yearn crimping mold 46 and the retainer 62.After retainer 62 moved to retracted position, the approaching/side of lock out operation transmission member 70 and the side of move operation power receiving member 62d formed sliding contact each other, thereby kept retainer 62 to move to the state of retracted position.
Then, coating crimping mold 42, heart yearn crimping mold 46 and approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 moves down, and when coating crimping mold 42 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and move to the lower position, coat pressure contact portion 11 and be crimped onto insulating wrapped section 18 coating between crimping bed die 32 and the coating crimping mold 42, and heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 is crimped onto between heart yearn crimping bed die 36 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and exposes the 17a of heart yearn section.Thereby, crimping terminal 10 is crimped onto the end of electric wire 16.
Then, movable member 54 moves up by the driving of driving mechanism section 50, so that coating crimping mold 42, heart yearn crimping mold 46 and approaching/lock out operation transmission member 70 move up (separate mobile).In this centre of moving, approach/contact condition between lock out operation transmission member 70 and the move operation power receiving member 62d is disengaged, and the bias force of retainer 62 by helical spring 66 moves and turns back to restriction site from retracted position.Then, coat crimping mold 42 and coat crimping bed die 32 separated from one another at utmost and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and heart yearn crimping bed die 36 separated from one another when maximum, restPose.The electric wire 16 that will have the crimping terminal 10 that is crimped onto the end takes out.Thereby, finished the terminal compression joint operation.
Fig. 6 illustrates the example of heart yearn contact chip 62b and the position relationship between the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 of retainer 62, and Fig. 7 is illustrated in after the crimping, exposes the example of the shape of the 17a of heart yearn section.
Fig. 6 illustrates following situation: in heart yearn pressure contact portion 12, the position that heart yearn contact chip 62b is arranged to expose the end of the 17a of heart yearn section can be limited in the position than the more inner L length of end edge portion that is positioned at connecting portion 13 sides of heart yearn compressing piece 12a.By crimping crimping terminal 10 as described above under the situation of like this location, expose the 17a of heart yearn section because the compression stress during crimping and extending in a longitudinal direction.After crimping, expose the end of the 17a of heart yearn section and extend from heart yearn compressing piece 12a towards connecting portion 13 sides.Yet as mentioned above, in the state before crimping, the end of exposing the 17a of heart yearn section is restricted to and is positioned in the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12, so its overhang is little.
The degree of length L to be set can be according to the thickness that exposes the 17a of heart yearn section (diameter) and length, the compression ratio that exposes the 17a of heart yearn section, the shape of heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 etc. are determined with experiment and experience.
On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, when the end that heart yearn contact chip 62b is arranged to expose the 17a of heart yearn section is restricted to the position that is in from the end edge portion of heart yearn compressing piece 12a to connecting portion 13 side-prominent length M, expose the 17a of heart yearn section because the compression stress during crimping and extending at its longitudinal direction, so that after crimping, the end of exposing the 17a of heart yearn section obviously surpasses heart yearn compressing piece 12a and extends out towards connecting portion 13 sides, as shown in Figure 9.For example, this obvious extension is the factor of disturbing the various operations that the crimping terminal 10 of crimping is carried out.
In the terminal press-connection device 20 with above-mentioned structure, retainer 62 moves to restriction site according to the Proximity operation of being carried out by driving mechanism section 50, and retainer 62 moves to retracted position according to the lock out operation of being carried out by driving mechanism section 50.Therefore, carry out position limitation so that expose the distal portion of the 17a of heart yearn section and can be arranged on the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12, then heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 is crimped onto between heart yearn crimping bed die 36 and heart yearn crimping mold 46 and exposes the 17a of heart yearn section.This can reduce to minimum from the overhang of heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 with expose the 17a of heart yearn section in crimped status.
Especially, when placing electric wire 16 with staff, exposing the 17a of heart yearn section slightly has deviation with respect to the position of heart yearn pressure contact portion 12.Therefore, as mentioned above, after the distal portion of exposing the 17a of heart yearn section is made the location, carry out crimping.Thus, can reduce in stable mode to expose the 17a of heart yearn section from the overhang of heart yearn pressure contact portion 12.
Especially, on the viewpoints such as reduction of contact resistance, the 17a of the heart yearn section of the exposing crimping under high compression that is formed by aluminum or aluminum alloy, thereby owing to this crimping causes large elongation.Therefore, carry out crimping to add man-hour be effective especially this being exposed the 17a of heart yearn section.
When crimping, retainer 62 moves to retracted position.Therefore, can in the interference that prevents between retainer 62 and the heart yearn crimping mold 46, carry out crimping operation to crimping terminal 10.
Approach/lock out operation transmission member 70 moves to apply the locomotivity that retainer 62 is moved towards retracted position according to the Proximity operation of being carried out by driving mechanism section 50, and move so that retainer 62 moves towards restriction site according to separate mobile.Therefore, the operation that connects synchronous mobile retainer 62 such as the operation of mould 46 grades with the mobile core line pressure can be carried out with the reliability that strengthens.
Retainer 62 is along the axial direction setting of the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 of crimping terminal 10, moving between restriction site and retracted position.Therefore, in the amount of movement that reduces as small as possible retainer 62, can avoid the interference between retainer 62 and the heart yearn crimping mold 46.
How retainer 62 moves between restriction site and retracted position and is not limited to above-mentioned example.For example, the tiltedly upper side shifting that retainer 62 can be from the restriction site in the heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 towards heart yearn pressure contact portion 12 enters retracted position.In brief, satisfy following condition: retainer 62 is mobile between restriction site and retracted position, at this restriction site, retainer 62 can will expose the position limitation of distal portion of the 17a of heart yearn section in heart yearn pressure contact portion 12, and at this retracted position, retainer 62 is return from the mobile route (the situation that heart yearn crimping bed die 36 moves, being the mobile route of heart yearn crimping bed die 36) of heart yearn crimping mold 46.
Although above terminal press-connection device is described in detail, foregoing description all is illustrative in every respect, and the present invention is not limited to this.Therefore will be appreciated that in the situation that does not depart from scope of the present invention and can design many modifications and distortion.
