Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing cable harnesses, in particular in crimping technology, according to the preamble of patent claim 1, and to a device for carrying out this method.
  • the connector assembly in particular is very time-consuming, and the availability is low.
  • the contact one or both sides
  • the line is automatically laid, the contacts being inserted into the connector housing.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for the production of wire harnesses, in particular in crimping technology, d. H. of wire harnesses, which are at least partially provided with so-called crimp contacts, in which all work steps can be automated with high availability.
  • a solution to this problem according to the invention is characterized by its developments in the claims.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea that, in deviation from the previous procedure, the receptacle devices for the plug housings are not to be arranged on the actual working surface of the laying board, but on a boundary surface. Only the laying aids designed in a known manner are arranged on the actual working surface of the laying board.
  • the device that is absolutely necessary for a fully automated production of a wire harness namely the so-called stop device, and to move the individual cables into the area of the stop device by moving the laying board.
  • La and 1b are a side view and a front view of a first embodiment
  • FIG. 2a and 2b are a top view and a view at A-A in Fig. 2a of a second embodiment.
  • a laying board 1 is arranged to be movable in the x and y directions.
  • the plane spanned by the x and y directions is a vertical plane with respect to a stationary system.
  • the receiving devices 2 for the plug housing of the wiring harness are not arranged on the actual working surface of the laying board 1, but on a narrow side. Only the so-called laying aids 3 for guiding the lines 8 are located on the work surface.
  • a laying nozzle 6 In front of the laying board there is a laying nozzle 6 which is movable perpendicular to the directions of movement of the laying board.
  • a line feed unit 4 is attached to the laying nozzle 6.
  • the unit 4 can convey a line 8 removed from a cable drum 7 both forwards and backwards, ie in the two directions of the double arrow z.
  • Various units 5 are provided behind the laying board, which have to strip the cables and attach the required connectors to the cables.
  • an automatic parts supply device for plug connectors, cable ties, etc. is attached, which is not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the receiving devices 2 on the upper side of the laying board 1 can be equipped with corresponding plugs from this supply system.
  • the handling movement between the parts supply system and the laying board 1 can either be carried out by a separate industrial robot (likewise not shown) or by pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical handling modules.
  • the devices 2 on the top of the vertically attached laying board are equipped with appropriate connector housings.
  • the laying board is then positioned in front of a laying nozzle which shoots through a line from the laying nozzle through a contact chamber of a plug housing.
  • the shot through is stripped in one of the stripping and stop devices 5 attached above and behind the movable laying board and provided with a plug. For this purpose, they are at the same height as the connectors in the receptacles.
  • the laying board can be positioned both by an independent movement and by a movement of the stop devices in such a way that the necessary spatial points for stripping and stripping the lines 8 are approached.
  • the line pre-assembled in this way is withdrawn with the aid of the delivery unit mounted in the area of the laying nozzle (which can be moved in two directions), so that the struck contact automatically engages in the plug housing.
  • the line is laid by a two-axis xy movement of the laying board.
  • the end of the line is cut off in the laying nozzle and the second end of the line is fastened to the laying board.
  • the second cable ends are either stripped manually and provided with contacts or stripped and stripped using an industrial robot.
  • the bundling of the cable harness can be carried out both manually and fully automatically, for example with an automatically operated tying gun. Further it is also possible to use a fixed-position binding gun.
  • the laying nozzle is advantageously attached directly in front of the associated stop machine.
  • the laying nozzle only has to be moved in one axis which is movable perpendicular to the two axes of the laying board.
  • either the laying nozzles or the stop machines are mounted on an axis movable in the x direction in order to combine any lines with any contacts.
  • the laying nozzles can be moved in the z direction in order to be able to carry out corresponding evasive movements.
  • the conveyor 4 also has the function of clamping the line during the stop process. Furthermore, the mobility in the z direction of the unit 4 or 6 ensures that the smallest possible distance is maintained when the line is threaded into the plug connection between the individual elements.
  • the cable feed in the z direction promotes the cable through connectors into the corresponding stripping or stripping machine.
  • the device according to the invention or the method that can be implemented with this device has the advantage that lines are not only automatically pre-assembled, but can also be installed fully automatically.
  • FIG. 2a and 2b show another Ausflowu 'ngsbei- game of the invention.
  • the same parts as in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are provided with the same reference symbols.
  • the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 there is no laying nozzle, but rather an industrial robot 11 with the working area 11 '.
  • the industrial robot 11 removes tools 14, such as, for example, laying tools from a corresponding magazine 14 ', and in turn uses these tools 14 to lay the cable 8 removed from a cable drum 7.
  • the configuration of the cable harness to be produced can be entered in a CAD work station and converted by means of a calculation program in such a way that all connector housings come to lie in a line.
  • the multi-axis positioning device (industrial robot) 11 positions the connector housing receptacles 2 provided in a corresponding magazine 2 'on the upper edge of the in turn vertically arranged laying board 1. The industrial robot then positions the laying aids 3 removed from a magazine 3' on the actual work surface.
  • the industrial robot 11 loads the holding devices 2 on the laying board 1 with a gripper 14 from the corresponding supply magazine with plug housings which are provided in a magazine 10. Thereupon the industrial robot 11 changes a laying tool from the magazine 14 ', moves to the stripping device 5', so that the cable end guided with the laying tool is stripped. In the next step, the industrial robot drives to a stop device 5, which attaches a crimp contact to the stripped cable end.
  • the robot now uses the laying tool to attach the attached cable end and to lay the cable in accordance with the path specified by the control.
  • the cable 8 is pulled out of the cable barrel 7 through the laying tool.
  • the cable After reaching the second connector housing, the cable is cut off in the tool.
  • the industrial robot 11 and the laying board 1 perform a synchronous movement to the stripping device 5 'and then to the permanently installed stop devices 5.
  • the cable is first provided with a contact on the attachment machine and then joined using the industrial robot, or the cable is pushed through the connector housing, provided with a contact and then "pulled back" into the connector housing.
  • a cable is pushed in the laying tool, the laying and contacting process for the other cables proceeds as already described.
  • the robot pulls a setting tool out of the / tool changing magazine 14 '.
  • the wiring harness is connected to the one specified by the control Ropes are tied, the cable ties are made available to the tying tool by a cable tie supply device 19 provided.
  • the free cable ends created in the first exemplary embodiment can be automatically laid by a device which is constructed in accordance with the second exemplary embodiment. It is only necessary to modify the second exemplary embodiment in such a way that the cables are not removed from a cable barrel, but that the laying tool grasps the free cable ends and otherwise moves accordingly.
  • the method and the device according to the invention have the advantage, through the use of a laying board that is movable in two directions, on the narrow side of which the plug housing receptacle devices are arranged, that both cable ends are provided with crimp contacts and in plug housings without a pre-assembled one Cables stored or is witnessed, can be inserted in that the working distance laying tool plug stop device is minimized by the "standing" arrangement of the laying board.
