Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a wire harness from pre-assembled cables according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an apparatus for performing the method.
  • a corresponding method for producing a wire harness from pre-assembled cables is known for example from DE-OS 35 44 219.
  • a cable harness is produced on a so-called laying board.
  • receptacles for connector housings and so-called laying aids are provided on this laying board.
  • the receptacles for the connector housing and the laying aids, which are used for the production of cable deflections etc., are arranged in such a way that the cable harness is already produced in its later form.
  • a cable with plugs at both ends is first produced;
  • Such cables are also known as pre-assembled cables.
  • the pre-assembled cables are inserted into the connector housing using an industrial robot that guides a so-called installation tool and are laid around the installation aids in accordance with the desired cable harness shape.
  • the disadvantage of the first-mentioned laying boards is, among other things. in that these laying boards are specific to the wiring harness and are therefore very inflexible even with minor changes to the wiring harness.
  • the disadvantage of the convertible laying board types is, inter alia, that the conversion of the laying boards is associated with considerable lateral and / or technical effort.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a wire harness from pre-assembled cables and an apparatus for performing this method, which allows flexible manufacture of wire harnesses with minimized idle times.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea that it is used to manufacture a wire harness from pre-assembled cables, i.e. from cables, the length of which has already been determined otherwise according to the configuration of the cable harness to be produced, and which are already equipped with plugs, is not necessary to produce the cable harness in its later form.
  • converting the device to a new wiring harness configuration is considerably simplified, since only corresponding receiving devices for the plug housing are to be arranged on a laying rail (claim 3) or on a laying board (claim 4).
  • the connector housing receptacles can preferably be arranged on a narrow side of the laying board, so that the industrial robot and any other processing stations can be "moved close" to the connector housing receptacles.
  • the embodiment characterized in claim 5 is particularly advantageous, in which the laying board consists of a series of linear guides or linear axes which are arranged in a row next to one another with a parallel displacement direction.
  • the individual axes can be driven pneumatically, electrically or hydraulically.
  • the connector housing receptacles can be moved to any position in a short time.
  • the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 has an industrial robot 1, the working space of which is designated by 2.
  • a conveyor belt 3 For example, on a conveyor belt 3, a laying board 4 is held in such a way that it is "vertical" with respect to a stationary coordinate system.
  • the conveyor belt 3 can be used, for example, to transfer the laying board between the individual processing stations.
  • receptacles 7 for connector housings are arranged on the top of the laying board, ie on an edge surface.
  • a tool changing magazine 6 for various tools there are also in the work area of the industrial robot Storage 5 for pre-assembled cables, a tool changing magazine 6 for various tools, a magazine 7 for receptacles of connector housings and a magazine 8 for the respective connector housings.
  • the configuration of the cable harness is created in its actual application, for example a CAD work station. This configuration is then “transformed” in such a way that all of the necessary receptacles 7 for plug housings come to lie in a line. With the aid of a gripper, the industrial robot 1 positions the receptacles for plug housings removed from the magazine 7 'on the upper edge of the laying board 4 which is formed in the vertical direction.
  • the industrial robot changes the placement tool in the tool changer 6 against a cable laying and contacting tool.
  • the prefabricated cables are preferably present in the memory 5 in the assembly sequence. With the laying tool, the cables are gripped at the ends that are made available at a defined location and guided to the laying board.
  • the industrial robot inserts the first contact into the connector housing and travels directly to the second connector housing for the other end of the cable.
  • This travel process for which only one movement is required, takes considerably less time compared to the travel processes in known processes, in which the industrial robot has to travel along the actual wiring harness configuration.
  • the industrial robot 1 gets a tying tool from the tool changing magazine 6 'for bundling the cable strands.
  • the wiring harness can be tied off.
  • the tying tool encompasses the cable harness on the connector housing, ties the cable and then travels the distance to the first branch of the cable harness, where it is tied again.
  • the laying board 4 is again taken over by the conveyor belt 3 and transferred to another processing or assembly station, at which, for example, the cable harness is encased.
  • the tied cable harness is removed by industrial robot 1. If a cable of a different configuration is then to be produced, the industrial robot repositions the connector housing receptacles. If a cable harness of the same configuration is to be produced again, it is only necessary to re-populate the connector housing receptacle in order to be able to use the device to produce a further cable harness.
  • Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • the connector housing receptacle device 7 is rotatably attached to a linear guide or a linear axis by means of a turntable 10.
  • Parts that correspond to the parts in FIG. 1 are not shown in the drawing.
  • pre-assembled cables are laid as described above. This is done in the same way as in the previous embodiment in that the first line end with the first contact is inserted into the corresponding connector housing. The second end of the line with the other contact is then inserted into the corresponding other connector housing.
  • the cable that is between the two contacts sags freely. This means that, in the same way as in the first exemplary embodiment, the lines are not laid on a specific laying path, but rather only the two line ends are guided in plug housings.
  • the linear axes are moved to a target position in accordance with a predetermined target value. This is done by activating a hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical drive for each individual linear axis, for example.
  • the respective position of the linear axis with the associated turntable and receiving device for the connector housing corresponds to the position of the connector housing, as is provided in the construction drawing of the cable harness.
  • the orientation of the connector housing can also be adjusted accordingly by turning the turntable.
  • the cable harness can be easily bundled, since all cables are in the appropriate target position.

Abstract

L'invention décrit un procédé pour la fabrication d'un faisceau de câbles à partir de câbles préconfectionnés ainsi qu'un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. Ce dernier abandonne complètement les systèmes auxiliares de pose destinés à maintenir le faisceau de câbles dans sa forme avant le liage. Il est ainsi possible de disposer en ligne les différents dispositifs récepteurs de logements de prises, les câbles déjà posés pendant librement entre les différents logements de prises.
