Description

Device for inserting flexible electric wires

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an apparatus for inserting a flexible electric wire into an opening of a housing, a structure having the apparatus, and a method.

Background

The flexible wire may be a flexible member, in particular having a bending radius of e.g. 1.5 to 2 mm. Flexible electrical lines, such as cables, are usually connected to the components and are inserted into the housing for this purpose. Since such a flexible electric wire can be bent, it is not likely to meet the opening of the housing. Thus, depending on where the flexible electric wire is held, for example, about 30mm from one end of the flexible electric wire, there cannot be a definite position. That is, the free ends of the flexible wires are difficult to align.

A plurality of grippers may be used for insertion. While one gripper holds and moves the wire, the other gripper opens and releases the pushing movement. This process may be repeated in the form of a caterpillar (raupenentig) to move the flexible wire into the opening little by little. Positioning inaccuracies may result from repeated releases. With the timing coordination of the grippers, the insertion speed may be limited.

Disclosure of Invention

It is an object of the invention to provide an advantageous concept for inserting a flexible electric wire into an opening of a housing.

According to a first aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by an apparatus for inserting a flexible electric wire into an opening of a housing, the apparatus having: a clamping member configured to clamp the flexible electric wire and insert the flexible electric wire into the opening of the housing along a length direction of the flexible electric wire; a guide element configured to guide the flexible electric wire; wherein the clamping element is arranged to push the flexible wire through the guiding element when inserting the flexible wire into the opening of the housing.

The device may be a clamping system. Whereby the cable can be mounted in the housing. The cable, i.e. the flexible electric wire, can be held and pushed into the housing. If only a clamp is used, the flexible wire may break. Since the flexible electric wires are soft members, the arrangement of each flexible electric wire may be slightly different. The openings of the housing can be assembled in any order using a clamping system. The device may comprise an aluminium component.

The guide element may be arranged as far as possible on the free end of the flexible electric wire. The guiding element may be adapted to the flexible wire, in particular the diameter of the flexible wire. The guide element may allow a play of 100 μm of the flexible wire. This ensures that the flexible electric wires are laid with sufficient accuracy. The guiding element may be made of a material with a suitably low coefficient of friction to reduce friction when guiding the flexible electric wire. The guide element may comprise a plastic, in particular polytetrafluoroethylene. The guiding element may guide the flexible wire just before the free end, in particular at a distance of 2mm from the free end.

The gripping element may fix the flexible wire and the flexible electric wire may then be moved by the moving device, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the flexible wire. The longitudinal axis here refers to the major dimension of the flexible wire, in particular when the flexible wire is tightened. Due to the flexible nature, the actual extension of the flexible wire may be slightly different from the longitudinal axis.

The gripper that would otherwise be necessary for gripping can be omitted in this device. Time can be saved by the continuous sliding movement, which would otherwise waste clock time. The device ensures high repeatability. Furthermore, since erroneous insertion processes are less likely to occur, the error rate, rejection rate, and downtime of the assembly system can be reduced.

In one embodiment, the clamping element is configured to insert the flexible wire in a single movement over a predetermined total length of the flexible wire to be inserted into the housing.

This saves time. The guiding element ensures accurate guiding of the flexible electric wire throughout the movement.

In one embodiment the device comprises a spring element arranged between said clamping element and said guiding element, wherein said clamping element is arranged to tension said spring element against said guiding element upon insertion of said flexible wire into said opening of said housing.

An automatic, in particular passive, rearward movement of the guide element relative to the clamping element can be achieved by the spring element when the clamping element is moved rearward. The spring element supports the guide element and is therefore a spring seat (federlagerng). The guide member is sprung back when the flexible electrical wire is inserted into the opening of the housing. So that the position of the cable end can always be clearly defined.

In one embodiment, the spring element comprises a compression spring.

The compression spring can be tensioned by the insertion movement of the clamping element, so that the energy required for resetting the guide element is stored when the flexible electrical line is inserted into the opening of the housing. However, other spring types are also possible, for example, an active resetting of the guide element by an electric or pneumatic motor. Here, the stop surfaces on the guide elements can be omitted.

In one embodiment, the spring element is arranged along the guide pin.

So that the spring element can be prevented from bending.

In one embodiment, the guide element is separated from the clamping element by a spacing corresponding to at least the length of the flexible electrical wire that should be inserted into the housing.

The flexible electrical wire can be disposed in the opening of the housing. The opening may have a depth, e.g. 30mm, into which the flexible electrical wire has to be inserted. The depth of the opening may depend on the housing and may vary from housing to housing. Also, for example, if the flexible wires are to protrude on the opposite side of the housing from the insertion opening, the depth to which the flexible wires must be pushed into or through the housing may be different from the depth of the housing. Thus, the length of the flexible wire to be inserted into the housing corresponds to the maximum insertion depth of the flexible wire that the clamping element must move.

In one embodiment, the clamping element has a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw, wherein the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw each have a V-shaped cross section and are movable relative to each other such that the flexible electric wire can be clamped by the V-shaped cross section. In another embodiment the clamping jaw has a channel-shaped cross-section for clamping the flexible wire. In one embodiment, the guide element is also configured with such a V-shaped jaw.

The V-shaped cross-section presents an angled configuration. By the V-shaped cross-section, in particular the interaction of the first clamping jaw with the second clamping jaw, the flexible wire can be centered in addition to being fixed. When clamped, the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are moved towards each other with the flexible electric wire therebetween. The flexible wire is held centrally between the two V's by the inclination of the V-shape. In addition, the flexible electric wire is not damaged and is not affected by the diameter of the flexible electric wire. The clamping elements can be configured as parallel clamps.

In one embodiment, the clamping element has a plurality of first and second clamping jaws. The plurality of clamping claws can increase the frictional force at a constant clamping pressure, thereby more firmly fixing the flexible electric wire.

In one embodiment, the guide element comprises: an insertion region into which the flexible electrical wire is insertable; and a guide area through which the flexible electric wire can be guided.

The insertion region may be chamfered to facilitate insertion of the flexible wire into the guide element. The guiding region may be narrower than the insertion region and have a desired guiding accuracy, in particular 0.1 mm.

In one embodiment, the guide element and/or the clamping element are each at least two-part. The guide element and the gripping element may comprise two jaws which can be opened to insert and release the flexible wire from the device. The guide elements can be configured as parallel grippers. The guide element and the clamping element may be mechanically linked and act as parallel grippers.

In one embodiment, the guiding element and the clamping element are arranged to perform an opening movement for releasing the flexible electric wire simultaneously. This may facilitate removal of the flexible electrical cord from the device.

In one embodiment, the guide element comprises a stop zone arranged to hit a surface of the housing. The stop zone may be tapered to hit the housing only in a narrow area around the opening. In this way, the flexible electric wires can be inserted into the openings arranged close to each other, irrespective of whether the flexible electric wires have been arranged in the adjacent openings.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the object is achieved by a structure with the apparatus according to the first aspect and a housing, wherein the guide element is arranged to guide the flexible electric wire into the housing by insertion of the clamping element when the guide element hits the housing, and at the same time to reduce the distance from the clamping element.

In this manner, the flexible cable can be inserted into the housing throughout the insertion process.

According to a third aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by a method of inserting a flexible electric wire into an opening of a housing. The method comprises the following steps:

clamping the flexible wire by a clamping element;

inserting the flexible wire into the guide element;

the clamping element and the clamped flexible wire are moved by the guide element along the longitudinal axis of the flexible wire towards the housing and the flexible wire is inserted into the opening of the housing.

In one embodiment, the method comprises: the guiding element is reset by a spring element after the flexible electric wire is inserted into the opening of the housing. This allows for ready insertion of another flexible wire.

Detailed Description

Like elements in the drawings have been given like reference numerals. It should not be construed as limiting. In particular, elements having the same reference number may differ in different embodiments. Also, features of different embodiments may be combined with each other even if not mentioned specifically if the reference signs are three-digit numbers, these reference signs also corresponding to the corresponding reference signs with consecutive letters.

Fig. 1a shows a flexible electrical wire 100. The flexible electric wire 100 has an insulating portion 101 and a peeling portion 102. The stripped portion 102 is used to establish an electrical connection with the flexible electrical wire 100. The insulation 102 serves as a sheath for the flexible electric wire 100 and serves to isolate electric current in the flexible electric wire 100. The flexible electrical wire 100 may be applied in the automotive field, for example, as a cable for transmitting data or control signals in a vehicle. The flexible wire may have different applications in other embodiments.

The flexible wire 100 has a small diameter compared to its length. The flexible electrical wire 100 is flexible. The diameter of the flexible wire 100 is 1.25 mm. In other embodiments the flexible wire 100 has a different diameter. The length of the flexible electric wire 100 is 1 mm. The length of the flexible wire 100 is other values in other embodiments.

Fig. 1b shows a top view of the housing 200. The housing 200 has a plurality of openings 201. Not all openings 201 are individually labeled for clarity.

The housing 200 extends to a depth not shown here. The opening 201 extends into the housing 200. The housing 200 is a junction box. Housing 200 performs other functions in other embodiments. The depth of the opening 201 is large relative to the diameter of the flexible wire 100.

The housing 200 has a width of 13mm and a height of 45 mm. The housing 200 has 36 openings 201 in this region. In other embodiments the dimensions are different from those described above.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic side view of a housing 200 with a plurality of flexible wires 100. A portion of the flexible electrical wire 100 is moved into the housing 200, where the housing 200 is shown here as being transparent. Arrow a shows the direction of insertion parallel to the longitudinal axis of the flexible electrical wire 100.

A clamping element 300 is shown in fig. 2. The clamping element 300 is arranged to clamp the flexible wire 100, see the lower flexible wire 100 a. The second, lower flexible wire 100b is also shown with the gripping element 300, however the flexible wire 100b has been inserted into the housing 200. Here, arrow B indicates how far the clamping element 300 needs to be clamped from the end of the flexible wire 100 in order to insert the flexible wire 100 into the housing.

Since the flexible electric wire 100 is a soft member, the free end of the flexible electric wire 100 cannot be firmly fixed in place if the gripping member 300 has to grip as far rearward as indicated by arrow B as long as the flexible electric wire 100 is not inserted into the housing 200. As shown in fig. 3. Here, three exemplary possibilities are shown for how the flexible electric wire 100 can deviate from an ideal straight posture in the extension portion of the flexible electric wire fixed by the clamping member 300. For dimensional reasons, a slight degree of bending of the flexible electrical wire 100 is sufficient to make it difficult or hinder its insertion into the opening 201 of the housing 200.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of an apparatus 400 according to an embodiment of the invention. The device 400 is shown with one flexible wire 100. The device 400 has a guide element 401 and a clamping element 402.

The guiding element 401 is arranged to guide the flexible wire 100, i.e. the guiding element 401 tightly surrounds the flexible wire 100 such that the play of the flexible wire 100 is within a predetermined tolerance, in particular 0.1 mm. The guide element 401 may comprise two half-shells, so that the guide element 401 may be removed again.

The clamping element 402 is configured to clamp the flexible wire 100 so as to secure it relative to the clamping element 402.

The guide element 401 and the clamping element 402 are interconnected by a spring element 403. The spring element 403 may be a pressure spring arranged around the guide pin. The spring element 403 can show a guide and be arranged next to the flexible electric line. In other embodiments the spring elements 403 are arranged differently or are omitted.

Furthermore, the guiding element 401 and the clamping element 402 are interconnected by a mechanical link 404, which ensures a parallel movement of the guiding element 401 and the clamping element 402. The mechanical linkage 404 ensures straight travel and may include guide rails.

Fig. 5a shows another view of the device 400 shown in fig. 4. Wherein the spring elements 403 extend on both sides of the flexible electrical wire 100. The holding member 402 holds the flexible electric wire 100, and the flexible electric wire 100 is guided by the guide member 401. The guide member 401 guides the free end of the flexible electric wire 100.

The structure of fig. 5a is attached to the opening 201 of the housing 200 such that the end of the flexible wire 100 protruding beyond the guiding element 401 protrudes into the opening 201 (not shown here).

Fig. 5b shows how the flexible wire 100 is introduced into the housing 200. The opening 201 is not shown for clarity.

The clamping element 402 moves the flexible wire 100 through the guiding element 401 and thereby presses the guiding element 401 against the surface 500 of the housing 200. The clamping element 402 approaches the guiding element 401 during the further insertion movement, i.e. the spacing between the clamping element 402 and the guiding element 401 reduces the distance the flexible wire is pushed into the housing 200. For this purpose, the mechanical link 400 is constructed to be flexible and can be varied in the thrust direction.

Upon insertion through the clamping element 401, the spring element 403 presses the guide element 401 and tensions.

The gripping element 402 may release the grip on the flexible wire 100. The guide elements 401 can be opened simultaneously by the mechanical linkage 404. In this way, a lateral, i.e. perpendicular to the insertion direction, removal of the device 400 can be achieved. The flexible wire 100 need not extend through the guide element 401 or the clamping element 402.

If the device 400 is removed from the housing 200, the spring element 403 automatically restores the spacing between the guiding element 401 and the clamping element 402. In another embodiment, in particular without the spring element 403, the spacing between the guide element 401 and the clamping element 402 is restored differently, in particular by an electromotive movement. The drive, in particular the electric motor, can be operated pneumatically or electrically for the displacement. Pneumatic drives can have fast response and control performance and therefore provide high clock rates.

Fig. 6 shows a schematic view of a part of a guiding element 401 with a flexible wire 100. Here, a part of the guide member 401 is half of two guide claws that guide the flexible electric wire 100 together. The two guide claws are designed to be symmetrical. In other embodiments the guide pawl is configured asymmetrically.

The guide element 401 has a guide channel 600. The guide channel 600 is configured to receive the flexible wire 100 such that the flexible wire 100 is movable by the guide element 401. The guide channel may be pre-centered.

The guide element 401 has a guide region 601. The guide area 601 is arranged at the end of the guide element 401 which is closest to the housing 200 when the flexible electric wire is inserted into the opening 201 of the housing 200, thus on the front side in the insertion direction.

The guide area 601 is the narrowest point in the guide channel 600 at which the flexible electrical wire 100 is guided. The guide area 601 has a diameter 0.1mm larger than the diameter of the flexible electric wire 100, and the diameter of the flexible electric wire 100 is 1.25 mm. In other embodiments the diameter is different. The value of the diameter of the guide area 601 here may be adapted to the application and take into account tolerances. It can be adapted to the type of wire, in particular the cross section.

The guide element 401 has an insertion region 602. The insertion region 602 is located on the opposite side of the guide element 401 having the guide region 601, i.e., the rear side in the insertion direction of the flexible electric wire 100.

The insertion region 602 is chamfered and therefore has a larger radius than the part of the guide channel 600 which is located in the guide element 401, in particular a larger diameter than the guide region 601.

Fig. 7a shows a structure 700 with a device 400 and a flexible wire 100. A joint 701, in particular a compression sleeve or a soldered contact, for electrical contacting of the flexible electric wire 100 is attached to the flexible electric wire 100. The header may be crimped. The joint 701 is attached to the stripped portion 102 of the flexible electric wire. In other embodiments, other components, such as compression sleeve 701, are attached to flexible electrical wire 100.

The contacts 701 are directional, that is to say the arrangement of the contacts 701 on the flexible electrical line with respect to the housing 200, in particular with respect to the rotation of the mating plug in the housing 200, is important.

Fig. 7b shows how the joint 701 is twisted in the direction of arrow C by twisting of the flexible electric wire 100. The twist may be axial.

The joint 701 is here schematically shown extending from the longitudinal axis of the flexible electrical wire 100.

For the sake of clarity, a sensor of the device 400, in particular a camera, which is able to detect a torsion of the compression sleeve 701 is not shown here.

The entire apparatus 400 can be inverted corresponding to the twisting of the joint 701 and the flexible electric wire 100 by the control apparatus connected to the apparatus 400. The torsion and the corresponding necessary axial reversal can be calculated by the control device. In fig. 7c, the inverted joint 701 is shown.

Twisting during crimping can also be prevented by the guide element 401, since the guide element is arranged near the free end and restricts the movement of the flexible electrical wire. Alignment may be performed prior to insertion.

Fig. 8 schematically shows three cases of the gripping claws of the gripping element 401, which respectively have the flexible electric wires 100 of different diameters arranged in the gripping element 401.

All three figures show the same clamping element 401, in particular a first clamping jaw 801 and a second clamping jaw 802 of the clamping element 401 in cross section.

A flexible electric wire 100 having a small diameter of, for example, 1.25mm is clamped on the left side, a flexible electric wire 100 having a medium diameter is clamped in the middle drawing, and a flexible electric wire 100 having a large diameter is clamped in the right drawing.

The axis 800 here represents the common clamping center around which the first clamping jaw 801 and the second clamping jaw 802 perform a clamping movement.

The two clamping

jaws

801, 802 have a V-shaped cross section. Whereby the flexible wire 100 is centered regardless of its diameter. The flexible electrical wire 100 is centered and fixed in two spatial directions perpendicular to the length direction of the flexible electrical wire 100 by interaction with guided clamping movements similar and synchronized to each other of the clamping

jaws

801, 802 shown by means of the axis 800.

In other embodiments, the clamping

jaws

801, 802 are configured differently, for example with an arc-shaped inner side or flat faces facing each other. In other embodiments, the clamping element has a plurality of clamping

claws

801, 802, which are arranged one after the other in the insertion direction of the flexible electrical wire 100.

Fig. 9 shows a structure 900 having two housings 200, two devices 400, and one flexible electrical wire 100.

The two devices 400 are respectively disposed at the ends of the flexible electric wire 100, and the respective ends are inserted into the openings of the respective housings 200. This is achieved by: both the gripping element 402 and the guiding element 401 are openable and the device 400 can be removed laterally from the flexible wire 100.

Fig. 10 shows a flow diagram 950 of a method according to an embodiment.

In step 951, the flexible wire 100 is clamped by the clamping element 402.

Next, in step 952, the flexible wire is guided into the guide element 401. Step 952 occurs before or simultaneously with step 951 in other embodiments.

For introduction, the device 400 may be partially open, in particular 0.5mm open. In other embodiments the device 400 is open other distances. The size of the opening depends on the wire diameter of the flexible wire 100. Where the flexible wire 100 is more flexible, the opening may be smaller than in the case of a more rigid flexible wire 100.

That is, the flexible wire 100 is already guided in the clamping element 402 and cannot slide out from the side any more, wherein the guiding element 401 is still slightly open as the clamping element 402. This makes it easier to insert the flexible electric wire into the guide member 401. If the flexible wire is in place, the device 400 is fully closed, i.e., the flexible wire 100 is secured in the device 400 by the clamping element 402. At the same time, the guide element 401 and the flexible electric wire 100 guided by the guide area 601 are also enclosed in the guide element 401.

The flexible wire 100 can then be inserted into the clamping element 402 and/or the guiding element 401 either automatically or manually.

In step 953, the device 400 is moved in the direction of the housing 200. For this purpose, the clamping elements 402 are moved such that the guide elements 401 are moved together. If the guiding element 401 hits the housing 200, the guiding element 401 maintains its position relative to the housing 200 and the clamping element 402 is pushed further towards the housing 200. Whereby the flexible electric wire 100 is moved through the guide member 401 and inserted into the opening 201 of the housing 200. The spacing between the guide element 401 and the clamping element 402 is now reduced while the flexible wire remains fixed relative to the clamping element 402.

The desired insertion depth is reached and the device 400 is opened in step 954. The clamping element 402 and the guiding element 401 are now open simultaneously, as described above.

The device is reset in step 955. For this purpose, the device 400 is removed from the lateral direction of the flexible electrical wire 100 and moved backwards against the insertion direction. The lateral movement may be performed after the rearward movement, while in other embodiments the lateral movement may be performed before the rearward movement.

The spring element 403 automatically presses the guide element 401 into the original position relative to the clamping element 402 during the backward movement. A new insertion process can now be started.
