Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the automatic production of line sets or line modules according to the insulation displacement technique according to the preamble of claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • a known automatic line assembly machine has a line supply device, a line pull-in device, a line feed device which has a line routing channel with a cross slide and is coupled to a cutting station, a line conveying device for transverse transport of the lines and processing stations, for example for stripping and crimping and equipping housings and checking the contacts next to the cable conveyor.
  • the line pull-in device pulls, for example, a line from a line reel or a line barrel in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the line and pushes it into the line feed device, after which it is cut to length in the cutting station.
  • the line pull-in device is formed from two conveyor rollers or conveyor belts arranged side by side or one above the other, which clamp the line between their peripheral surfaces running in the longitudinal direction of the line and convey them into the line feed device.
  • the line feed device has a wedge-shaped guide channel, which is formed, for example, by two slants placed at an angle to one another and in which a cross slide operates, which transports a cut line fed in the longitudinal axis direction transversely to its longitudinal axis direction from the guide channel into the line conveyor device for the transverse transport pushes.
  • the line conveyor is formed by two endless conveyor belt devices arranged parallel to one another at a lateral distance, each consisting of two superimposed, flexible elastic conveyor belts, which run around deflecting rollers and clamp the cut line between them and transport them perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the line.
  • the aim of the invention is to change the known assembly of lines so that it can be used for insulation displacement technology, with different housings and housings with different housing grids, possibly also with empty chambers, so that different cable sets or Line modules can be produced with the same machine.
  • housing pitch means that the distance between two chambers, in each of which there is a insulation displacement contact element which is to be contacted with a line by pressing a line end region between the cutting edges of the insulation displacement contact element, is the same.
  • Other housing grids are increasingly being demanded, for example a housing grid of 2.5 mm.
  • Corresponding contact elements have already been designed.
  • the most diverse grids for example 2.0; 2.54; 3.6; 3.75; 3.96 occur.
  • housings with the same or different number of chambers can be provided or it is required not to equip all housing chambers with one line.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for the insulation displacement technique, which can be set to generate different line modules on different grids or number of poles without requiring a special automat for each grid combination or for each assembly program.
  • the cable types currently in use are essentially specially developed for the insulation displacement technology, consisting of a number of individual strands.
  • the modules are implemented using what is known as parallel wire technology, in which the connecting lines consist of individual lines of the same or different lengths.
  • the housings can be provided with the same or different number of poles. In many cases, not all of the housing chambers are occupied, which means that in these cases individual housing chambers are not provided with lines.
  • the concept according to the invention has a modular structure so that a separate processing machine does not have to be developed for each connector housing or grid combination.
  • the basic machine is designed so that the respective cable ends are fixed separately and fed to two separate stations. The transfer principle or cross transport is suitable for this.
  • the basic machine has all the functions required to provide the individual cable sets.
  • the required housing processing stations can be combined with the basic machine. All product-specific features can be taken into account in this division between the basic machine and individual stations in the specially tailored processing stations. Another advantage of this division is that it is possible to implement several processing steps on each transfer side. For example, testing or labeling processes or additional contacting stations can be added.
  • the fully automatic line assembly 11 is known per se, for example from DE 34 48 002 C2, in the processing sequence downstream of the line supply device 1, the line pull-in device 2, the separation station 3a and the line guide channel with cross slide line feed device 3, the line conveyor device 13 for the transverse transport of the cut-to-length lines 14 with, for example, servo drives 8, 9 arranged at the end of the line conveyor device 13.
  • the line conveyor device 13 consists of two endless conveyor belts arranged parallel to one another at a lateral distance, each consisting of two superimposed, flexible elastic endless conveyor belts, that run around pulleys and clamp the cut cable between them and transport them perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • Such a line conveyor is described for example in DE 41 15 463 A1.
  • a module bus bar 10 is provided, on which the assembled line sets assembled into modules are collected and where the modules can be removed from the fully automatic line assembly line.
  • the fully automatic cable assembly also has an operating and programming unit 12.
  • the processing area 7 is provided on both sides of the line conveyor device 13, in which the individual stations for the processing of the line ends, for example straight cutting devices, housing feed devices, housing assembly devices, test devices, printing devices or the like, are interchangeably arranged.
  • a line sequence collecting area 4 is provided between the mouth slot of the guide channel and the inlet area of the line conveyor device 13.
  • a line transfer device 4a is located in this collecting area 4.
  • the line transfer device 4a consists of two Pairs 15, 16 of endless conveyor belts.
  • Each pair 15, 16 has two conveyor belts 15a, 15b or 16a, 16b arranged laterally next to one another parallel to the transport direction, which are designed like the conveyor belts of the line conveyor device 13 and accordingly each consist of two superimposed, flexible resilient endless conveyor belts which are arranged around Deflection rollers run and clamp the cut cables between them, transport them perpendicular to their longitudinal axis and transfer them to the cable conveyor device 13.
  • the distance between the endless conveyor belts 15a, 15b or 16a, 16b belonging to a pair 15 or 16 is preferably approximately the width of an endless conveyor belt of the line conveyor device 13, the front end of the endless conveyor belts of the line conveyor device 13 in the transport direction Project between the endless conveyor belts 15a, 15b or 16a, 16b of a pair 15, 16.
  • Each pair 15 and 16 of endless conveyor belts 15a, 15b or 16a, 16b is driven with a servo drive 5 or 6 separately from the servo drives 8, 9 of the line conveyor 13.
  • the modification of the line assembly machine 11 essentially relates to the line transfer device 4a in the insertion area of the line feed device 3.
  • the transfer belts 15a, 15b and 16a, 16b are separately driven short transfer belts.
  • the transfer belts are used to collect the cut cables.
  • the long endless conveyor belts of the line conveyor device 13 are required in order to feed the processing stations in cycles to the one line sequence or line group 14a, which consists of a plurality of lines 14 arranged at a certain grid spacing.
  • the advantages of this arrangement are that, on the one hand, the processing time of the processing stations no longer has to be line-related but only sequence-related and, on the other hand, any raster and chamber jumps can be realized.
  • the processing stations, which are not shown in FIG. 1 and are each arranged laterally next to the endless conveyor belts of the line conveyor device 13, as is known per se, can be exchanged can thus be divided into simpler and no longer interlocking movements, with the result that the processing stations can be made considerably cheaper.
  • the lines can be collected independently of the processing stations. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the dynamic load on the processing station. While the processing stations are processing the line ends, lines can again be collected in the sequence collection area.
  • the transfer drives of the line transfer device 4a are equipped with their own servomotors 5, 6 so that different grids and grid jumps or empty chambers can be generated.
  • the transfer axes of the line transfer device 4a and the line conveyor device 13 are moved synchronously and the transport step is dimensioned such that the line sequence is transported to the first processing station.
  • the previously processed sequences are transported to the next processing station.
  • the processing stations are accordingly set up in a grid spacing. 13 horizontal table tops are arranged to the right and left of the line conveyor device for receiving and fastening the processing stations. The size of these plates depends on the number of processing stations.
  • Certain processing stations required for all production cases are contained in a basic machine.
  • the production-specific processing stations contain the processing or testing processes required for processing. These functions are: separate and separate one or more housings from the connection; guide the housing into the stop position; Center and align the lines provided by the basic machine; Contacting the lines; if necessary coding cutting; if necessary, check the axial insertion depth, check the current continuity; if necessary, labeling or marking the housing; if necessary binding of the sequence.
  • An air cushion on the machine table, on which the processing stations can be moved very easily, is provided for the assembly or replacement of product-specific processing stations. In this way, the machine is easily accessible during set-up work and any faults that occur can be remedied more easily.
  • single-row housings are processed in particular. From Fig. 2 module examples can be seen that can be produced with the invention in a simple manner.
  • 2a shows the same or different housings on the right and left with a minimum cable length.
  • 2b shows sequence-produced modules. Right and left are the same or different housings. The cable lengths are different.
  • 2c also illustrates sequence-produced modules. Right and left are the same or different housings. The cable lengths are different, with grid jumps or empty chambers being provided.
  • a single housing is on the left and several identical housings are provided on the right.
  • the cable lengths are different.
  • grid jumps or empty spaces are provided.
  • 2e illustrates different housings on the left and the same and different housings on the right with different line lengths and grid jumps or empty chambers.
  • 2f has different housings on the left and right with different line lengths.
  • the grid jump is extremely wide, with a large number of empty chambers between the lines.
  • 2g shows a single housing on the left and several identical housings on the right with external crimp contact for different cable lengths.
  • 2h has different housings on the right and left as well as different line lengths.
  • different housings can be seen on the right and left in FIG. 2i with different line lengths.
