Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbinderpositioniervorrichtung, mit der die zu crimpenden Verbinder unter den Crimpwerkzeugen der Crimpmaschine positioniert werden können.The invention relates to a connector positioning device with which the connectors to be crimped can be positioned under the crimping tools of the crimping machine.

Eine Crimpmaschine weist Crimpwerkzeuge auf, die periodisch von einer Antriebseinrichtung betätigt werden. Diese Betätigungsein­richtung treibt auch die Vorschubmittel für die zu crimpenden, aus Blechstanzteilen bestehenden Verbinder bzw. Kontaktelemente an, die zu einem Band aneinandergereiht aufgerollt und als Band den Crimpwerkzeugen zugeführt werden. In den Crimpwerkzeugen wird ein Verbinder an eine elektrische Leitung gecrimpt.A crimping machine has crimping tools which are actuated periodically by a drive device. This actuating device also drives the feed means for the connectors or contact elements to be crimped, which consist of stamped sheet metal parts, which are rolled up in a row and fed to the crimping tools as a tape. A connector is crimped onto an electrical line in the crimping tools.

Die Vorschubmittel schieben das Verbinderband längs einer Führungsbahn vor, wobei der vorderste zu crimpende Verbinder genau positioniert unter den Crimpwerkzeugen zum Stillstand kommen soll. Dies gelingt mit einer Bremseinrichtung für das Verbinderband, die mit den Vorschubmitteln zusammenwirkt. Bei hohen Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten der Crimpmaschine gelingt die Positionierung des noch am Band sitzenden vordersten Verbinders trotz Bremseinrichtung nicht befriedigend. Meist schießt der Verbinder wegen des Trägheitsmoments des Bandes ein Stück über die gewünschte Postition hinaus. Eine Erhöhung der Bremskräfte der Bremseinrichtung könnte zwar zum Erfolg führen, die höheren Bremskräfte würden aber den Verbinder verformen, so daß dieser für den Crimpvorgang unbrauchbar würde.The feed means advance the connector band along a guideway, whereby the foremost connector to be crimped is to come to a stop precisely positioned under the crimping tools. This is achieved with a braking device for the connector band, which interacts with the feed means. At high working speeds of the crimping machine, the positioning of the foremost connector still sitting on the belt is not satisfactory despite the braking device. Most of the time, due to the moment of inertia of the tape, the connector shoots a little beyond the desired position. An increase in the braking forces of the braking device could lead to success, the higher ones However, braking forces would deform the connector, making it unusable for the crimping process.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, eine Positioniervorrichtung für die Verbinder eines periodisch zugeführten Verbinderbandes zu schaffen, die mit einfachen Mitteln die gewünschte Stellung des vordersten Verbinders eines Verbinderbandes fixiert.The object of the invention is to provide a positioning device for the connectors of a periodically fed connector tape, which fixes the desired position of the foremost connector of a connector tape with simple means.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung werden in den Unteran­sprüchen gekennzeichnet. Anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestell­ten Beispiels wird die Erfindung im folgenden erläutert.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims. The invention is explained below using the example shown in the drawing.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 - 3 Schematisch eine Seitenansicht des Crimpwerkzeug­teils der Crimpmaschine mit der erfindungsgemäßen Positioniervorrichtung in drei verschiedenen Stellungen.
Show it:
  • Fig. 1-3 schematically a side view of the crimping tool part of the crimping machine with the positioning device according to the invention in three different positions.

Von der Crimpmaschine ist lediglich der Werkzeugträger 1 dargestellt, in den die Crimpwerkzeuge 2 eingespannt sind und der in Doppelpfeilrichtung 3 von nicht dargestellten Antriebsmitteln periodisch angetrieben wird. Die Werkzeuge fahren gegen einen Arbeitstisch 4, der mit Gegenwerkzeugen bestückt ist, wobei der vorderste Verbinder eines Verbinderbandes 6, an eine elektrische Leitung (nicht dargestellt) gecrimpt wird. Da die übrigen Bestandteile der Crimpmaschine üblicher Bauart sein können, sind sie nicht abgebildet und brauchen auch nicht beschrieben zu werden. Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Verbinderbandes 6 beschrieben, in dem die Verbinder hintereinandergereiht angeord­net sind; die Erfindung ist aber auch verwicklichbar bei einem Verbinderband, in dem die Verbinder nebeneinandergereiht angebun­den sind.Of the crimping machine, only the tool carrier 1 is shown, in which the crimping tools 2 are clamped and which is periodically driven in the double arrow direction 3 by drive means, not shown. The tools move against a work table 4 which is equipped with counter tools, the foremost connector of a connector band 6 being crimped onto an electrical line (not shown). Since the other components of the crimping machine can be of conventional design, they are not shown and do not need to be described. The invention is described with reference to a connector band 6, in which the connectors are arranged in a row; however, the invention can also be implemented in a connector band in which the connectors are connected in a row.

Die Crimpvorrichtung ist mit einer Vorschubeinrichtung für das Verbinderband 6 ausgerüstet, von der lediglich der Transportfin­ger 7 gezeigt ist, der in Doppelpfeilrichtung 8 a vor- und zurückgeschoben, sowie in Doppelpfeilrichtung 7a auf einem Kreisbogenstück auf und nieder geschwenkt werden kann. Zum Vorschub des Verbinderbandes hintergreift der Transportfinger 7 eine Kante eines Verbinders im Verbinderband 6 und schiebt das Band nach vorne.The crimping device is equipped with a feed device for the connector band 6, of which only the transport finger 7 is shown, which can be pushed back and forth in the double arrow direction 8 a, and can be pivoted up and down on a circular arc piece in the double arrow direction 7 a. To advance the connector band, the transport finger 7 engages behind an edge of a connector in the connector band 6 and pushes the band forward.

Als Antriebsmittel für den Transportfinger 7 kann eine Schubstan­ge 8 dienen, die parallel über dem Arbeitstisch 4 am Maschinen­rahmen 9 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 10 gleitbar, horizontal liegend gelagert ist. Das vordere Ende 11 der Schubstange 8 gleitet auf einer eine Schräge 13 aufweisenden Führungsbahn 12, die am Werkzeugträger 1 angeordnet ist, so daß bei Bewegung des Werkzeugträgers 1 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 3 die Schubstange 8 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 10 angetrieben wird. Die Bewegungsübertra­gungsmittel vom hinteren Ende 14 der Schubstange 8 bis zum Transportfinger 7 sind nicht gezeigt, weil sie üblichen Bauele­menten entsprechen können.A push rod 8 can be used as the drive means for the transport finger 7, which is slidably mounted horizontally on the machine frame 9 parallel to the work table 4 in the double arrow direction 10. The front end 11 of the push rod 8 slides on a bevel 13 guide track 12 which is arranged on the tool holder 1 so that when the tool holder 1 moves in the double arrow direction 3 the push rod 8 is driven in the double arrow direction 10. The movement transmission means from the rear end 14 of the push rod 8 to the transport finger 7 are not shown because they can correspond to conventional components.

Die Cripmaschine ist außerdem wie üblich mit einer Bremsvorrich­tung 15 ausgerüstet, die eine mit Federn 16 belastete Platte 17 sein kann, die von oben auf das Verbinderband 6 drückt.The crip machine is also, as usual, equipped with a braking device 15, which can be a plate 17 loaded with springs 16, which presses on the connector band 6 from above.

Das Verbinderband 6 wird wie üblich in der Führungsnut einer Verbinderführungsplatte 4 a geführt, die in oder auf dem Arbeitstisch 4 angeordnet ist.The connector band 6 is guided as usual in the guide groove of a connector guide plate 4 a, which is arranged in or on the work table 4.

Die erfindungsgemäße Positioniervorrichtung weist eine Verha­kungsvorrichtung 18 auf, die über dem Verbinderband 6 angeordnet ist und über einen an der Verbinderbandführungsplatte 4 a um eine horizontale Achse 24 schwenkbar gelagerten, zweiarmigen Kipphebel 19 verfügt, dessen vorderer Hebelarm 20 durch die Zugkraft eines Zugfederelements 21 ständig nach oben orientiert zugbelastet ist. Am vorderen Ende des vorderen Hebelarms des Kipphebels 19 ist ein nach unten gerichteter Rasthaken 22 vorgesehen, der eine Kante 23 eines Verbinders 5 des Verbinderbandes 6 hintergreifen kann.The positioning device according to the invention has a hooking device 18, which is arranged above the connector band 6 and has a two-armed rocker arm 19 which is pivotally mounted on the connector band guide plate 4 a about a horizontal axis 24, the front lever arm 20 of which is constantly upwards by the tensile force of a tension spring element 21 oriented tensile load. At the front end of the front lever arm of the rocker arm 19 is a downward latching hook 22 is provided, which can engage behind an edge 23 of a connector 5 of the connector band 6.

Der Kipphebel 19, der in Doppelpfeilrichtung 25 auf und nieder schwenkbar gelagert ist, weist für diese Schwenkbewegung unter dem anderen rückwärtigen Hebelarm 26 eine sich in seiner Längsrichtung erstreckende Kurvenbahn 27 auf, die im wesentlichen bogenförmig ist.The rocker arm 19, which is pivoted up and down in the double arrow direction 25, has for this pivoting movement under the other rear lever arm 26 a cam track 27 extending in its longitudinal direction, which is essentially arcuate.

Die Antriebsmittel 28 a für die Schwenkbewegung des Kipphebels 19 weisen eine auf der Kurvenbahn 27 abrollende Rolle 28 auf, die an einem Lagerarm 29 sitzt, der sich in Richtung hinteres Ende 14 der Schubstange 8 erstreckt und am unteren Hebelarm 30 eines zweiarmigen, sich von oben nach unten erstreckenden Hebels 31, in Doppelpfeilrichtung 32 in Längsrichtung des Hebelarms 30 verstellbar, sitzt. Der Hebel 31 lagert um die horizontale Achse 33 schwenkbar am Maschinenrahmen, wobei der andere obere Hebelarm 35 schwenkbar um die horizontale Achse 34 am hinteren Ende 14 der Schubstange 8 gelagert ist.The drive means 28 a for the pivoting movement of the rocker arm 19 have a roller 28 rolling on the cam track 27, which sits on a bearing arm 29 which extends in the direction of the rear end 14 of the push rod 8 and on the lower lever arm 30 of a two-armed, from above downwardly extending lever 31, adjustable in the double arrow direction 32 in the longitudinal direction of the lever arm 30, sits. The lever 31 is pivotally mounted on the machine frame about the horizontal axis 33, the other upper lever arm 35 being pivotally mounted about the horizontal axis 34 at the rear end 14 of the push rod 8.

Vorzugsweise steht auch der Transportfinger 7 mit dem unteren Hebelarm 30 in Verbindung und wird von diesem angetrieben, wodurch in vorteilhafter Weise ein Synchronantrieb des Transport­fingers 7 und des Stopphebels bzw. Kipphebels 19 bewirkt wird.The transport finger 7 is preferably also connected to and driven by the lower lever arm 30, which advantageously brings about a synchronous drive of the transport finger 7 and the stop lever or rocker arm 19.

Durch die Bewegung der Schubstange 8 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 10 wird somit erfindungsgemäß der Hebel 31 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 36 verschwenkt. Die Rolle 28 rollt auf der konvexen Führungsbahn 27 ab, wodurch der Rasthaken 22 angehoben und abgesenkt wird.The lever 31 is thus pivoted in the double arrow direction 36 by the movement of the push rod 8 in the double arrow direction 10. The roller 28 rolls on the convex guideway 27, whereby the locking hook 22 is raised and lowered.

Die Kurvenbahn 27 hat als Kulmination ein gerades Bahnstück 27 a, wobei vor und hinter dem geraden Bahnstück 27 a Bogenstücke 27 b vorgesehen sind.The curved track 27 has a straight track section 27 a as culmination, with bow sections 27 b being provided in front of and behind the straight track section 27 a.

Aufgrund der beschriebenen Anordnung und Raumform der Bauelemente der erfindungsgemäßen Positioniervorrichtung wird die Verhakung zwischen Rasthaken 22 und Verbinderkante 23 aufgehoben und der Kipphebelarm 20 nach oben geschwenkt und unmittelbar danach der Rasthaken 22 aus der angehobenen Stellung (Fig. 1) in die ab­gesenkte Stellung gedrückt. Der Rasthaken 22 greift dabei zunächst in einen Leerraum zwischen den Kanten 23 des vorangehen­den und des nachfolgenden Verbinders (Fig. 2). Der Transportfin­ger 7 transportiert das Verbinderband 6 weiter, bis die Rastnase bzw. der Rasthaken 22 gegen die nächste Rastkante 23 stößt (Fig. 3). Dadurch wird das Verbinderband 6 gestoppt und der vorderste Verbinder 5 des Bandes 6 befindet sich genau positioniert unter den Crimpwerkzeugen 2 (Fig. 3).Due to the described arrangement and spatial shape of the components of the positioning device according to the invention, the hooking lifted between locking hook 22 and connector edge 23 and the rocker arm 20 pivoted upward and immediately afterwards the locking hook 22 from the raised position (FIG. 1) pressed into the lowered position. The latching hook 22 initially engages in an empty space between the edges 23 of the preceding and the following connector (FIG. 2). The transport finger 7 transports the connector belt 6 further until the locking lug or the locking hook 22 abuts the next locking edge 23 (FIG. 3). As a result, the connector band 6 is stopped and the foremost connector 5 of the band 6 is positioned exactly under the crimping tools 2 (FIG. 3).

Das Verbinderband 6 kann nicht mehr über die Crimpstelle hinausschießen.The connector band 6 can no longer overshoot the crimping point.

Durch die Versetzbarkeit des Lagerarms 29 in Doppelpfeilrichtung 32 kann der Schwenkwinkel des Stopphebels bzw. Kipphebels 19 auf unterschiedliche Eingriffszeitpunkte bzw. Betätigungszeitpunkte bezüglich der Kanten 23 eingestellt werden. Die Stoppeinrichtung ist somit auf einfache Weise auf Verbinder unterschiedlicher Baulänge bzw. Bauform einstellbar.Due to the displaceability of the bearing arm 29 in the double arrow direction 32, the pivoting angle of the stop lever or rocker arm 19 can be set to different engagement times or actuation times with respect to the edges 23. The stop device can thus be easily adjusted to connectors of different lengths or designs.
