Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 and a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 5 for equipping housings with crimped electrical lines.
  • DE-OS 27 02 188 a sorting scheme shown in Fig. 5 of DE-OS is described, with which the provided with an electrical connector, in one plane and at a distance from each other, line ends can be brought to different housing chamber grids, which are the same or smaller than the original line spacing caused by the transport.
  • the cable ends are lifted out of the transport level and combed into the side of the housing chamber grid.
  • DE-OS 27 40 377 discloses a method and a device for automatically collecting electrical connectors, each crimped onto a conductor, for fitting housings. After crimping, the connectors are still on the holding strip and are guided on the holding strip, then separated and held by the holding strip, the connectors protruding from the holder with their front free end regions. With the brackets a connector is transported in front of the opening of a housing chamber and until the chamber partially overlaps the connector. Then the cable is clamped just behind the connector, the connector holder is released and the connector with the conductor clamp is pushed fully into the housing chamber to the desired depth. This known method or this known device cannot be used for sorting.
  • a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset are known from EP-A-0 040 491. Accordingly, a transport device in the form of a collector block is provided, which transports the collected lines step by step to a removal point.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned that work even faster.
  • the transport chain 3 has clamping or holding elements into which the lines 1 or connectors of the line 1 are placed or pressed in the direction of the arrow 1a with a corresponding transfer device (not shown).
  • the drive system of the transport chain 3 is coupled to the drive system of the transport system 2 in such a way that synchronism in the transport direction (arrow direction 4) is ensured.
  • the transport chain 3 need not be designed as a chain. Rather, any means of transport that has clamping means can be used, which are positioned so that no device elements are arranged above the lines 1 and the lines are freely accessible from above.
  • a collector block 5 is arranged directly above the transport chain 3 and can be moved in steps in the direction of the arrow 6 in or against the transport direction 4.
  • the distance above the transport chain 3 is e.g. a conductor thickness or connector thickness and is preferably not greater than three times these dimensions.
  • the collector block 5 has clamping elements 7 on the underside with which the lines 1 or connectors of the lines 1 can be held. The lateral spacing of the clamping elements 7 from one another is very much smaller than the spacing of the clamping elements on the transport chain 3.
  • the collector block 5 is connected to a collector transport device (not shown) which moves the collector block 5 back and forth in a predeterminable manner over the transport chain 3 in such a way that a predetermined clamping element 7 holds over a predetermined line when the transport chain 3 is at a standstill and the conductor can be transferred to the clamping element 7 with a suitable transfer device (not shown) acting in the direction of the arrow 8.
  • the transfer device can be a pusher that presses a line 1 out of the clamping element of the transport chain 3 into the clamping element 7 of the collector block 5.
  • the collector block 5 can be moved so that the transfer location is always at the same point above the transport chain and the transfer takes place when a line 1 with the transport chain 3 has been transported to this location.
  • the collector block 5 can also be moved so that it at different cycle stops the lines can keep above the transport chain and take over a line, which speeds up the transfer. In the latter case, there is either a transfer element under each accessible cycle stop or the transfer element is attached to the collector block 5 and travels with it.
  • the collector block 5 When the collector block 5 is filled, it is transferred to a separate removal device (not shown). The transfer takes place in the direction of transport 4 viewed behind the last cycle stop of the transport chain 3 (see marked position X in the drawing in FIG. 1).
  • the removal device has a transport path 9 in the direction of the arrow 10 which corresponds to a rectangle, the transport path 9 being in one vertical level is located above the transport chain 3.
  • the filled collector block 5 is held in the removal device in such a way that after the removal it is transported into the vertical path 9a and stopped there pivoted by 90 °.
  • the top line 1 is then located at a fixed removal point 11 (FIG. 2). Then a step-by-step transport takes place, preferably with the corresponding programmable removal device, the step length corresponding in each case to the distance between the clamping elements 7.
  • a housing transport device 12 Downstream of the removal point 11 in the transport direction 4 is a housing transport device 12, which holds a housing 16 and can transport up and down in the direction of the arrow 13 and back and forth in the direction of the arrow 14 such that the opening of each chamber 15 of the housing 16 held to one Assembly point 17 can be transported.
  • the assembly point 17 is from the removal point 11 in the transport direction 4 a piece away.
  • transport tongs 19 are provided which are guided with a drive device (not shown) on the vertical, rectangular transport path 18 in the direction of the arrow 20.
  • the lower corner points of the transport path 18 are located in the tapping point 11 and the assembly point 17, so that the pliers 19 at the tapping point 11 can remove a line 1 or the connector of the line 1 from the clamping element 7, which is located there, and on can carry the assembly point 17.
  • the connector is pushed into the chamber 15 of the housing either with the pliers 19 or with a separate device (not shown), the opening of which is then just in front of the assembly point 17.
  • the housing transport device 12 conveys the housing 16 stepwise in the direction of the arrow 14 until the chambers 15 of a row of housing chambers are filled, and then moves the housing 16 one step in the direction of the arrow 13, so that the opening of the first chamber of a series of housing chambers following up or down at the assembly point 17 is located. In this respect, the housing is only transported step by step by one housing chamber distance.
  • the transport tongs 19 move upwards a short distance and then back again in the direction of the arrow 21 to the removal point 11 and then down to the removal point 11.
  • the pliers 19 are designed such that they can pivot through 90 ° so that the line 1 is rotated through its longitudinal axis and thus also the connector of the line through 90 °. The connector can then be placed in a housing chamber that requires this location.
  • the device according to the invention expediently has two collector blocks 5 and 5a operated alternately, so that when collector block 5 collects, collector block 5a can be emptied and is located on the transport path 9a.
  • the emptied collector block 5a is led via the transport path 9a, 9b, 9c onto the transport path 9d and transferred to the collector transport device after the collector block 5 had previously been transferred to the transfer device X at the transfer point X (see FIG. 1).
