Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the positioning of the foremost connector still sitting on the belt is not satisfactory despite the braking device.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the tool carrier 1 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.
  • 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.
  • the transport finger 7 engages behind an edge of a connector in the connector band 6 and pushes the band forward.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a braking device 15 which can be a plate 17 loaded with springs 16, which presses on the connector band 6 from above.
  • 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.
  • the positioning device 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.
  • a downward latching hook 22 is provided, which can engage behind an edge 23 of a connector 5 of the connector band 6.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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).
  • the connector band 6 can no longer overshoot the crimping point.
  • 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.
