Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for feeding and changing a plurality of cables according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from DE-A-37 03 011.
  • the cable changing and feeding unit and the laying tool are combined into one unit, which is positioned by a multi-axis positioning unit, for example an industrial robot. Since the summary of the cable change and feed unit and the laying tool the weight of the unit to be positioned by the industrial robot is comparatively large, a comparatively large and therefore expensive industrial robot is required for the positioning.
  • the sequence of movements is hindered by the known device, since all cables run continuously from the cable storage to the robot hand. This means, for example, that the industrial robot cannot make 360 ° rotations, as this would "twist" the cables together.
  • a device of another type is known from US Pat. No. 4,363,165.
  • a so-called "capstan” drive is provided for each cable, in which the drive roller is detachably connected to a drive motor.
  • the weight and the construction volume of this device are even greater than the weight and the construction volume of the device known from DE-A-37 03 011.
  • DE-AS 1 299 336 a device for feeding a plurality of cables is known, in which a separate feed device is provided for each cable. Accordingly, this device is not suitable for operation with an industrial robot, but has its own two-axis positioning unit.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for feeding and changing a plurality of cables, which can be used in connection with a relatively small and therefore inexpensive positioning unit.
  • the object set according to the invention can be achieved in that a device for feeding and changing a plurality of cables according to the preamble of claim 1 is also assumed.
  • the cable change and feed unit is arranged in a stationary manner and only the laying tool is positioned.
  • the cable changing and feeding unit is connected to the laying tool via a flexible pipe.
  • a cable is conveyed from the cable changing and feeding unit to the laying tool and back.
  • the cable storage which can be, for example, a commercially available cable drum
  • an intermediate storage is provided between the cable storage and the cable change unit for the cables cut in the laying tool and returned to the cable change unit by means of the drive roller.
  • This inventive design allows undisturbed feeding, laying and subsequent changing of the cables.
  • the flexible tube that connects the cable change and feed unit to the actual laying tool is a hose that is flexible to different diameters of the advanced cables. This means that cables of different diameters can be laid with the device according to the invention without the risk that a cut cable end "gets caught" in the connecting pipe.
  • the intermediate store is a random material store in which, for example, the returned cable simply "sags".
  • the development characterized in claim 4, according to which a straightening unit is provided between the cable storage and the cable change and feed unit, has the advantage that the cable, for example, rolled off a cable drum, can be easily pushed through the flexible tube by the straightening process.
  • a monitoring unit for the feed of the cable is provided in the cable change and feed unit (claim 5), which, for example, in a manner known per se by detecting the number of revolutions of the drive or counter roller, the feed of the Cable measures. Furthermore, it is advantageous if, according to claim 6, the monitoring unit has two spaced-apart light barriers which check whether a cable is present or not. This makes it possible to pull the cut cable back so far that the cable end is positioned between the two light barriers.
  • Fig. 1 shows a laying tool (1), which can be attached to a multi-axis positioning unit, not shown, for example an industrial robot, by means of an interchangeable flange (not shown in detail) and with a stationary cable changing and feeding unit (2) via a flexible hose (3) is connected.
  • the laying tool (1) is a contacting tool which, in addition to guide and feed rollers, has a cutting or cutting unit (1.1) which can be designed, for example, in accordance with the cutting unit described in DE-A-37 03 011.
  • the fixedly arranged cable changing and feeding unit (2) which is shown in top view in FIG. 2, consists of a base part (2.2) on which a drive unit (2.1) in the direction of an arrow (2.3) (see FIG. 2 ) is displaceable by means of a linear displacement unit (11).
  • the drive unit (2.1) has a drive roller (4.1) driven by a motor (4), which is driven by a Pneumatic cylinder (5) can be acted upon in the direction of the cable (6) to be conveyed.
  • a counter roller or a rotating wheel (7) is provided for each of the cables (6) to be conveyed. Furthermore, two light barriers (9) and a locking mechanism or clamping element (10) are provided for each cable, the function of which is explained below.
  • the illustrated embodiment of a device according to the invention also has a straightening unit (8) for each cable, which is arranged between the actual cable changing and feeding unit (2) and a cable storage unit (12), which is designed, for example, as a cable drum.
  • a cable (6) which is located in the laying or contacting tool (1), is laid and another cable is to be laid in the next laying process, the cable is first cut off in the tool with the cutting unit (1.1) provided for it. The cable is then conveyed back against the normal conveying direction by means of suitable control of the motor (4) by means of the conveying device which is formed by the rollers (4.1) and (7).
  • the conveyor roller (4.1) is placed on the cable (6) by means of the pneumatic cylinder (5).
  • the returned cable (6) forms a loop (6.1) between the cable changing and feeding unit (2) and the straightening unit (8), so that it is temporarily stored for later use.
  • the return path of the cable (6) is controlled on the one hand via a rotary encoder attached to the rotating wheel (7) or on the conveyor roller (4.1) and on the other hand via two light barriers (9).
  • the motor (4) is switched off. This ensures that the cable (6) is no longer in the supply hose (3), but completely within the cable change and supply unit (2).
  • the locking mechanism (10) also ensures that the cable cannot slip out of the provision in the cable change and feed unit (2).
  • the movable drive unit (2.1) with the electric motor (4) and the feed wheel (4.1) is moved linearly to the place where the desired cable is to be made available using the linear unit (11).
  • the driven feed wheel (4.1) is lowered onto the provided cable using the pneumatic cylinder (5).
  • the electric motor (4) By suitably activating the electric motor (4), the cable is pushed into the laying tool (1) after the locking cylinder (10) is unlocked through the hose (3).
  • a cable change process then takes place as described above.
  • the device according to the invention can be designed such that it is controlled by the control of the industrial robot or a special programmable logic controller can be fully automatically integrated into an automated harness production.
  • the structure can differ from that of the exemplary embodiment described in individual cases. It is thus possible, for example, to provide a rotary unit instead of the linear unit 11 for moving the drive unit 4.1.
  • the device for feeding and changing a plurality of cables can be used in connection with a relatively small and therefore inexpensive positioning unit.
