Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for assembling various types of connector housings, to wit filling the cavities of the housing with contacts, said housings in particular being standardized multi-row connector housings, wherein a male contact in particular in the form of a pin, or a female contact in particular in the form of a spring or socket, has to be brought into a cavity of the connector housing.
  • connector housing assembling devices are already used by various manufacturers for a number of years.
  • the use of connector housings is generally accepted so that large numbers of this type of housings are used all over the world.
  • the invention aims to provide an improved device for assembling/filling connector housings, wherein no or hardly any losses of pin or spring contact will occur.
  • a device for assembling/­filling cavities in connector housings with pin or spring contacts is executed as a traverse system with a number of parallel feeding tracks N for connector housings, the cavities in these connector housings having to be filled with pin or spring contacts, said connector housings being intermittently supplied in the longitudinal direction of the feeding tracks, which is called setting-up the parallel rows of connector housings, with which preferably at some distance above and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the parallel rows of connector housings with cavities, a carrier executed as a carrier strip, a bandoleer either endless or not with pin or spring contacts, is also moved intermittently, called setting-up the carrier, with which the distance between the center lines of the pin or spring contacts on the carrier is the pitch, the distance between the center lines of the cavities in two connector housings, moving parallel to each other, being n times the pitch, in which n is a whole number, in which the system for setting-up the carrier with pin and spring contacts may be carried out regularly as well as irregular­ly, the device inserting a pin or spring contact
  • a further embodiment of the device for assembling/filling cavities in connector housings with pin or spring contacts according to the invention consists in that the number of parallel supply tracks N for connector housings to be filled with pin or spring contacts is at least 1 and at most about 100.
  • the device according to the invention may be controlled in such a manner that the regularly setting up of the carrier occurs in that after each insert of pin or spring contacts into the cavities of the parallel rows of connector housings, the carrier is always set up over (n+1) times the pitch of the pin or spring contacts connected to it, the irregular setting-up of the carrier taking place in that after each insert of pin or spring contacts into the cavity of parallel rows of connector housings it is set-up alternately over (n+1) times the pitch of the pin or spring contacts connected to it until n pin or spring contacts have been positioned in the longitudinal direction of the connector housing and the carrier subsequently one time has a set-up of (n.N+1) times the pitch, whereafter the cycle is repeated.
  • each pitch dimension of the cavities in the connector housings can be adjusted in a very simple and accurate manner to the pitch dimension of the pin or spring contacts on an arbitrary carrier.
  • the device according to the invention is further elaborated in such a way, that the programmed filling of a row of cavities in the longitudinal direction of the connector housing occurs by setting-up the connector housings over the pitch dimensions of the cavities, whereby an empty cavity is created by a double set-up of the connector housing in the longitudinal direction of it.
  • Fig. 2 filling a connector housing 30 with spring contacts 29 with a set-up device 31 according to a known technique is shown.
  • the set-up direction of the carrier 32 with the pin contacts 29 is shown with the arrows 33.
  • the carrier 32 passes over a so-called set-up wheel 34.
  • the insertion of the spring contacts 28 into the connector housing 30 takes place with the hollow rod 35 driven by the insert force 36.
  • the connector housing 30 is set-up over the feeding track 37.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of a device 38 for filling the cavities in the connector housings 39 with pin or spring contacts 40 according to the invention. It concerns connector housings 39 with in the longitudinal direction three parallel cavities to be filled, because of which the device 38 has three reels 41, 42, 43 for feeding three carrier strips 44, 45, 46 with pin or spring contacts 40. In the cut and insert stations 47, 48, 49 an inserting of the pin or spring contacts 40 takes place in the succeeding rows in the longitudinal direction of the connector housings 39.
  • the set-up direction of the connector housings 39 is indicated with the arrows 50 and the set-up direction of the carrier strips 44, 45, 46 is indicated with the arrows 51.
  • the connector housings 39 are moved over the base plate 52.
  • Fig. 4 the filling of an endless bandoleer 53 is shown, which is always provided with pin or spring contacts 54 at the station 56 by means of a filler 55.
  • the set-up direction of the connector housings 57 is indicated with the arrow 58.
  • Fig. 5 shows the filling of an endless bandoleer 59 with pin or spring contacts 60, which as shown in detail are tightly clamped to the bandoleer 59.
  • the pin or spring contacts 60 are clamped onto the bandoleer 59 after having been released from the carrier strip 59a.
  • the set-up direction of the connector housings 62 are indicated with the arrow 63.
  • a bandoleer which can be filled in a stage preceeding the device according to the invention, to serve subsequently as "filled" bandoleer in the device.
  • Fig. 6 shows the system 65 of setting-up the carrier 65 ⁇ , which for the sake of clarity is shown staggered.
  • the number of parallel rows N of connector housings 66 amounts to eight.
  • the distance between the center lines of the cavities in the parallel rows of connector housings 66 is adapted to the pitch P in the pin or spring contacts 67 on the carrier 65 ⁇ .
  • the system 68 of setting-up the parallel rows of connector housings 66 is for convenience sake also shown staggered beside the connector housings.
  • the carrier 65 ⁇ remains in the line A-A and the connector housings 66 pass intermittently (set-up) therebelow.
  • the cavities 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 of the connector housings 66 are filled.
  • the carrier is set-­up over a distance of (n+1) times the pitch P and the connector housings 66 over one set-up 68, then the cavities 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57 of the connector housings 66 are filled.
  • the numbering of the cavities in the connector housings 66 corresponds to the numbering of the pin or spring contacts on the carrier 65 ⁇ .As shown in Fig. 6 this filling is continued until the cavity 105 has been filled.
  • the carrier 65 ⁇ then has still the pin or spring contacts 67, indicated with dashes in B.
  • Fig. 7 the filling process is continued.
  • the 0 on the line A-A corresponds with number 56 in the upper part of Fig. 6 and now all pin or spring contacts 67 are gradually used and thus the carrier is emptied further. From Fig. 6 it appears that in this case only the twenty one pin or spring contacts indicated at C at the beginning of the carrier will get lost.
  • the described example relates to a regular set-up of the carrier 65 ⁇ . In case of an irregular set-up of the carrier 65 ⁇ the twenty one pin or spring contacts 67 at C (Fig. 6) are used as well, so that no loss of contacts will occur at all.
