Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Bestücken eines mit einer Vielzahl von Einzeldrähten versehenen Kabels, vorzugsweise Rundkabels, mit einem mehrpoligen, vorzugsweise flachen Stecker nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und auf einen bei einem derartigen Verfahren verwendeten Kabelstecker nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6.The present invention relates to a method for equipping one with a large number of individual wires provided cable, preferably round cable, with a multipole, preferably flat connector according to the Preamble of claim 1 and one at a Such methods used cable connector after Preamble of claim 6.
Bei einem bekannten Verfahren dieser Art werden die vom Kabelmantel freigelegten Einzeldrähte an ihrem freien Ende abisoliert und dann mit auf einer Rolle angelieferten Kontakten verbunden. Sind die Kontakte mit Crimpanschlüssen versehen, werden die abisolierten Enden der Einzeldrähte auf die Crimpanschlüsse gelegt und mit Hilfe einer Einrichtung (einer Crimpmaschine) angeschlagen. Gleichzeitig werden die Kontakte voneinander getrennt. Die mit den Kontakten versehenen Einzeladern werden dann in einen Stecker eingebracht.In a known method of this type, the Cable sheath exposed individual wires on their free Stripped end and then on a roll delivered contacts connected. Are the contacts with Provided crimp connections, the stripped ends of the individual wires placed on the crimp connections and with Help of a device (a crimping machine) struck. At the same time, the contacts separated from each other. The ones with the contacts Single wires are then inserted into a connector.
Wenn die Stecker und damit die Kontakte kleiner werden, wie es bspw. bei PCMCIA-Kabelsteckern der Fall ist, wird die Verarbeitung sehr schwierig. Außerdem steigt bei kleiner werdenden Teile die Gefahr der Beschädigung der Kontakte. Das Bestücken der Kontakte kann dabei oft dann nur noch unter dem Mikroskop erfolgen, was sehr aufwendig ist. Außerdem muß zur Sicherstellung der Qualität des Produktes ein hoher Aufwand getrieben werden. Da die freien Endbereiche des Kabels schon vor dem Einbringen in den Stecker auf gleiche Länge abgeschnitten werden, muß im Stecker ein Stauraum für die innenliegenden Einzeldrähte vorhanden sein, was wiederum einer erwünschten Miniaturisierung zuwider läuft.When the plugs and thus the contacts get smaller, as is the case with PCMCIA cable plugs, for example processing very difficult. It also increases shrinking parts the risk of damage to the Contacts. The contacts can often be populated only done under the microscope, which is very expensive is. In addition, to ensure the quality of the Product a high effort to be driven. Since the free end areas of the cable before inserting it in the plug must be cut to the same length in the plug a storage space for the inside Individual wires are present, which in turn is one desired miniaturization runs counter.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Verfahren zum Bestücken eines Kabels mit einem Stecker der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das in kostengünstigerer Weise durchgeführt werden kann und bei dem die Gefahr der Beschädigungen der kleinen Kontakte stark reduziert ist. Außerdem soll ein entsprechender sehr kleinbauender Kabelstecker bereitgestellt werden.The object of the present invention is therefore a Method of populating a cable with a plug to create the kind mentioned in the can be carried out more cheaply and at which the risk of damage to the small contacts is greatly reduced. In addition, a corresponding very small cable connector can be provided.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind bei einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale und bei einem Kabelstecker der genannten Art die im Anspruch 6 angegebenen Merkmale vorgesehen.To solve this problem are in a method of the type mentioned in claim 1 Features and with a cable connector of the type mentioned provided in claim 6 features.
Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist es möglich, die Kontakte automatisch und kostengünstig vorzumontieren. Gleichzeitig kann die Kabelvorbereitung zum Anschließen an die einzelnen Kontakte schneller und sicherer durchgeführt werden; dasselbe gilt für die mit Hilfe einer Maschine möglichen Verbindungen von Kabelenden und Kontakten. Die Gefahr der Beschädigung der kleinen Kontakte ist durch deren Vormontage und deren maschinelle Verbindung mit den Einzeldrahtenden auf ein Minimum reduziert. Desweiteren ist die Qualitätsicherung vereinfacht, so daß ein einfach herzustellender und zu montierender Kabelstecker vorgesehen werden kann, der u.a. auch wegen des nicht notwendigen Kabelenden-Stauraumes sehr kleinbauend ist.The measures according to the invention make it possible to Pre-assemble contacts automatically and inexpensively. At the same time, the cable preparation can be connected to the individual contacts faster and more securely be performed; the same goes for those with help possible connections of cable ends and a machine Contacts. The risk of damage to the small Contacts is due to their pre-assembly and their mechanical Connection with the single wire ends to a minimum reduced. Furthermore, quality assurance simplified, so that an easy to manufacture and to mounting cable connector can be provided, the i.a. also because of the unnecessary storage space for the cable ends is very small.
Eine weitere Vereinfachung der Kabelvorbereitung ergibt sich dann, wenn die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 2 vorgesehen sind. A further simplification of the cable preparation results itself when the features are provided according to claim 2 are.
Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 3 ist erreicht, daß die
Abdeckplatte gleichzeitig auch den Kontaktgabebereich
abdecken und damit schützen kann.With the features according to
Die elektrische Kontaktgabe zwischen den abisolierten Einzeldrahtelementen und den Anschlußelementen der Kontakte kann bspw. in einem Arbeitsgang mittels Löten erfolgen. Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel vorliegender Erfindung jedoch sind die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 4 vorgesehen. Auch das Crimpen kann in vorteilhafter Weise mit Hilfe eines einzigen Werkzeugs in einem Arbeitsgang bei allen Einzeldrähten gleichzeitig erfolgen.The electrical contact between the stripped Single wire elements and the connection elements of the Contacts can be soldered in one operation, for example respectively. According to an embodiment Invention, however, are the features according to claim 4 intended. Crimping can also be advantageous with the help of a single tool in one operation with all individual wires at the same time.
Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 5 ist erreicht, daß die Gefahr des Drahtbruchs stark reduziert ist. Durch die vorhergehenden Maßnahmen ist außerdem sichergestellt, daß die Einzeldrähte beim Umspritzen durch den hohen Spritzdruck nicht weggespült werden.With the features according to claim 5 it is achieved that the Risk of wire breakage is greatly reduced. Through the previous measures also ensure that the individual wires when overmoulding through the high Spray pressure should not be washed away.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Kabelsteckers ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen eines oder mehrerer der Ansprüche 7 bis 10.Advantageous configurations of the cable connector result from the features of one or more of the claims 7 to 10.

11 besitzt einen vorderen etwa rechteckförmigen Teil 12
und einen einstückig daran anschließenden hinteren Teil
13, der etwa trapezförmig ausgebildet ist. Im
rechteckförmigen Teil 12 ist eine Vielzahl paralleler
offener Kanäle 14 vorgesehen. Dabei sind zwei Gruppen 16,
17 mit hier unterschiedlicher Anzahl von Kanälen 14 zu
beiden Seiten einer Längsmittelebene 18 vorgesehen. In
die Kanäle 14 sind die vom Mantel 21 eines mehradrigen
Rundkabels 22 befreiten Endbereiche von Einzeldrähten 19
des Kabels 22 derart eingelegt, daß die freien Enden 23
der Einzeldrähte 19 die Stirn 24 des Drahthalters 11
überragen. Wie der Figur 1 zu entnehmen ist, verlaufen
die Einzeldrähte 19 ausgehend vom am hinteren Rand 25 des
Drahthalters 11 endenden, mit dem Mantel 21 versehenen
Bereich des Kabels 22 strahlenförmig geradlinig durch den
trapezförmigen Teil 13 des Drahthalters 11 bevor sie nach
einer Biegung in die Kanäle 14 eintauchen. Die Kanäle 14
sind in nicht dargestellter Weise mit nach innen ragenden
angeformten Vorsprüngen versehen, zwischen denen die
Einzeldrähte 19 klemmend gehalten sind. Der Drahthalter
11 ist in Richtung der Zeichnungsebene sehr schmal,
vorzugsweise schmäler als dem Durchmesser des Kabels 22
entspricht.According to FIG. 1, the
Am hinteren Bereich des trapezförmigen Teils 13
übergreift ein Klemmsteg 26 die Einzeldrähte 19 des
Kabels 22. Im Bereich der Längsmittelebene 18 ist der
Drahthalter 11 mit einer Ausnehmung 27 und einem
Rücksprung 28 versehen. Am Grund des Rücksprungs 28 sind
zwei federnde Zungen 29 angeformt, die sich zu beiden
Seiten der Längsmittelebene 18 erstrecken, weit über die
vordere Stirn 24 hinausragen und an einem mittleren
Längenbereich und am vorderen Ende mit nach außen
stehenden Vorsprüngen 31, 32 bzw. einer
Einführungsschräge 33 versehen sind.At the rear of the
Der Kabelstecker 10 besitzt ferner einen Kontaktträger
36, von dessen Leiste 37 unterseitig zwei länglich
rechteckförmige schmale Verbinderstege
(Kontakthülsenaufnahmen) 38, 39 zu beiden Seiten der
genannten Längsmittelebene 18 abstehen. Die
Verbinderstege 38 und 39 sind mit aus Figur 2
ersichtlichen parallelen Längsbohrungen versehen, die
durch die Verbinderstege 38, 39 und die Leiste 37
hindurchgehen. In diese Längsbohrungen 41 sind die
Kontakthülsen 43 einer Vielzahl von Kontakten 42
eingesetzt, deren Anschlußelemente 44 über die Rückseite
der Leiste 37 hinaus abstehen. Wie aus Figur 1B
ersichtlich ist, sind den Gruppen 16, 17 der Kanäle 14 im
Drahthalter 11 entsprechend Gruppen von eng
beieinanderliegenden parallelen Längsbohrungen 41 und
entsprechende Gruppen von Kontakten 42 vorgesehen. Beim
dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die
Anschlußelemente 44 in Form von Crimpanschlüssen
ausgebildet. Die beiden Verbinderstege 38, 39 sind mit
jeweils einem einzelnen oder einem Paar von asymmetrisch
angeordneten Schienen 46, 47 zum unverwechselbaren
Einstecken in bspw. eine IC-Karte versehen. An beiden
Enden der Leiste 37 sind parallel zu den
Anschlußelementen 44 abstehend Begrenzungsstege 48, 49
vorgesehen. Im Bereich der Längsmittelebene 18 ist
ebenfalls nach hinten abstehend an der Leiste 37 eine im
Querschnitt rechteckige Muffe 51 angeformt, die über die
beiden Zungen 29 rastbar ist.The
Das Bestücken der freien Endbereiche der Einzeldrähte 19
eines Kabels 22 mit dem Kabelstecker 10 geht in folgender
Weise vor sich:
Die Endbereiche der Einzeldrähte 19 des Kabels 22 werden
zunächst über eine bestimmte Länge hinweg vom Mantel 21
befreit. Die Endbereiche der Einzeldrähte 19 werden dann
im trapezförmigen Teil 13 geradlinig verlegt und einzeln
in die Kanäle 14 eingerastet. Das Einbringen der
Einzeldrähte 19 in den Drahthalter 11 wird derart
vorgenommen, daß alle freien Enden 23 in einem bestimmten
Mindestlängenmaß über die Stirn 24 des Drahthalters 11
überstehen. Die freien Enden 23 werden dann so
abgeschnitten, daß sie gemäß Figur 1A in gleichmäßiger
Länge über die Stirn 24 hinausragen. Daraufhin werden die
freien Enden 23 auf einer bestimmten Länge, vorzugsweise
nicht auf der gesamten die Stirn 24 überragenden Längen
abisoliert. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 1A dargestellt.The free end areas of the
The end regions of the
Der Kontaktträger 36 ist in der in Figur 1B dargestellten
Weise vormontiert. Der Kontaktträger 36 wird mit seiner
Muffe 51 über die Zungen 29 geschoben und im hinteren
Teil der beiden Zungen 29 verrastet, wie dies Figur 2
zeigt. In diesem Zwischenmontageschritt liegt jeweils ein
abisoliertes freies Ende 23 der Einzeldrähte 19 im
Anschlußelement 44 eines Kontaktes 42 oder ist diesem
unmittelbar benachbart. Mit Hilfe eines einzigen
Werkzeuges werden dann die Anschlußelemente 44 derart
bearbeitet, daß die abisolierten Drahtenden an die
Anschlußelemente 44 der Kontakte 42 angecrimpt werden. Es
versteht sich, daß es auch möglich ist, die abisolierten
freien Enden 23 der Einzeldrähte 19 mit entsprechend
ausgebildeten Anschlußelementen der Kontakte 42 in einem
Arbeitsgang zu verlöten.The
Der Kabelstecker 10 besitzt ferner eine Abdeckplatte 56,

von abisolierten Einzeldrahtenden 23 und
Kontaktanschlußelementen 44 durch Aufrasten auf den
Drahthalter 11 befestigt wird. Die Abdeckplatte 56 ist
dabei so geformt und so groß, daß sie den Drahthalter 11
vollständig überdeckt und darüber hinaus jenseits der
Stirn 24 des Drahthalters 11 die Bereiche der Kontaktgabe
zwischen Einzeldrahtenden 23 und Kontaktanschlußelementen
44 im wesentlichen überdeckt, wie dies Figur 2 zeigt. Die
Abdeckplatte 56 besitzt eine Ausnehmung 27' und
entsprechend dem Drahthalter 11 einen Rücksprung 28'.The
In einem abschließenden Arbeitsgang wird gemäß Figur 3
der so an das Kabel 22 angeschlossene und zusammengebaute
Kabelstecker 10 mit Kunststoff umspritzt, so daß sich
eine Hülle 57 ergibt, die von der Leiste 37 des
Kontaktträgers 36 bis zum Kabel 22 reicht. Die Hülle 57
umgibt dabei den Drahthalter 11, die Abdeckplatte 56 und
einen dem Kabelstecker 10 benachbarten Bereich des mit
seinem Mantel 21 versehenen Kabels 22. Als Begrenzung für
die Hülle 57 zum Kontaktträger 36 hin ist dessen Leiste
37 derart ausgebildet, daß sie den Drahthalter 11 und die
Abdeckplatte 56 um die Dicke der zu umspritzenden Hülle
57 rundum überragt.In a final operation, according to FIG. 3
