Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cable assembly from a supply of stripped ribbon cables with with plugs, in particular Insulation displacement contact elements, equipped housings in a contacting station, each of which follows the processing sequence is made up of a ribbon conductor supply device, a line feed device, a cutting station and one the cut lines detecting transverse transport device for the transport of the ribbon cable the contacting station, the other side with a feed device, the housings can be fed, as well as to the subsequent processing stations, being on both sides of the along the individual processing stations vertically movable clamps arranged in the transverse transport direction are to the cut lines at the respective processing stations to fix.
  • Such a cable assembly device is from its own European Patent application EP-A-0 756 359 (published on January 29, 1997) known to the applicant.
  • the cross transport device consists of two arranged opposite each other, along the individual processing stations running pliers that synchronously back and forth horizontally are able to move a flat ribbon cable from the processing station to transport to processing station.
  • the pliers also take on the function of fixing the cut to length Lines at the respective processing stations.
  • DE-A-41 02 449 is a wire harness manufacturing machine known, in which the transverse transport of the conductors to be equipped via a kind endless circular conveyor track.
  • This endless circular conveyor consists of Commuter elements slidable along a lower and upper path can be closed via upper covers.
  • a reciprocating actuator is provided, which presses the top cover onto the commuter element.
  • the move the commuter elements along the upper and lower tracks are in horizontal direction via laterally arranged push rods.
  • To a Lift commuter element from the lower to the upper track or from the lowering the upper track to the lower track are at both ends of the upper and lower track lifting elements arranged over which the commuter elements can be moved up or down like a paternoster.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing a cable assembly device of the type described above in such a way that the transverse transport device enables higher cycle and thus processing speeds without the transverse transport device causing the cable assembly device to run uneasily.
  • the transverse transport device consists of at least one transport carriage with consecutively arranged thereon transport jaws in that the transport carriages arranged between the clamping tongs back in front of the individual processing stations and is movable and hergetaktet.
  • transverse transport device designed according to the invention is now only for the transport of the cut cables from a processing station responsible to the next while the fixation to the Processing stations by those known from the prior art Clamping pliers is taken over. Because a transverse transport device designed in this way can be made much smaller and lighter these can also be operated at higher clock speeds without the occurring acceleration and braking forces a restless run of the Effect machine.
  • each transport carriage Transport jaws corresponds to the number of consecutively arranged on each transport carriage Transport jaws at least the number of processing stations, along which the transverse transport device can be moved clocked back and forth. In this way it is ensured that with each work cycle of the transverse transport device each of the processing stations arranged one behind the other is supplied with appropriate lines.
  • the movable jaw parts can be tangential to the peripheral surface a gear wheel can be arranged, which is arranged within the transport carriage is driven by a rack, which all gears for the movable Coupled jaw parts of a transport carriage.
  • the movable jaw parts are preferably made in two parts from a flexible one Material, preferably spring steel, made.
  • This resilient two-piece Design of the movable jaw parts has the advantage that even when simultaneous transport of two cut-to-length lines or if present large differences in the thickness of the flat ribbon cable an approximately the same contact pressure the line to be transported through the transport jaws can.
  • the rack for driving the ones equipped with the movable jaw parts Gears and the drive of each transport carriage is preferably carried out via reciprocating pneumatic drives.
  • Transport carriage detected lines a uniform contact pressure and thus to ensure a secure hold of the cables during transport, is preferred in the area of each transport jaw on the rack arranged as a coil spring compression spring.
  • the fixed jaw parts of the transport jaws can be according to a preferred one Embodiment of the invention interchangeably arranged in the transport carriage be around these jaw parts to accommodate different cable thicknesses adapt.
  • Embodiment of the invention may be advantageous to two transport sledges use to cross-offset the cut cables during transport from processing station to processing station.
  • two transport slides used with each other via a common traverse are connected so that both transport slides are always in sync with each other be clocked further, so that a buckling of the transported Line is avoided.
  • the invention proposes that it is due to the higher Cycle speeds of the transverse transport device and the two-part Design of the movable jaw parts is possible in that Assembling with up to 9-pin plugs two cut cables can be processed simultaneously at each processing station.
  • the machine is made up of different, downstream, facilities corresponding to the processing sequence, on the one hand the supply from ribbon cables to a contacting station and on the other hand the delivery of connectors to just this contacting station in which the machine equips the cables on one or both sides with the connectors.
  • One is connected in series to feed ribbon cables Line supply device 1, the ribbon cable 2 in the form of one or two Cable drums rolled up, a cable backstop 3 for the Ribbon conductor 2 to support a line feed device 4, one Cutting station 5 and in the coaxial line for this purpose an axially movable Cable pulling pliers 6 for pulling out the desired cable length.
  • the in Line supply 1 wound ribbon cable 2 are by the Cable backstop 3 guided, so that to pull in the selected length Flat belt with the cable drum drive is first formed a loop and then the line feed device 4 is activated, which the selected Ribbon length transported to the cable pulling pliers 6. A running back of the such retracted flat strip 2 to the unwind side is by the Cable backstop 3 prevented.
  • the cable pulling pliers 6 is arranged axially movable on a rail, such as this is shown by the double arrow in Fig. 1, and moves against a left-hand stop.
  • a gripping tool of the cable pulling pliers 6 accepts the supplied ribbon cable 2 and pulls it in its backward movement up to the position shown in FIG. 1. So that's the Ribbon conductor 2 pulled into the actual work area of the machine. With cable lengths over 300 mm, the cable feed device 4 conveys Ribbon conductor 2 after, a loop forming in the work area. It is now the desired processing length on ribbon cable 2 in Working area of the machine.
  • Transverse to the described course of the supply devices 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for the ribbon conductor 2 extend, again one behind the other in the machining direction arranged, the individual processing stations of the Machine. These are linked to one another by a transverse transport device 7.
  • This transverse transport device 7 is between clamping tongs 8 arranged, which is on both sides of along the individual processing stations extending transverse transport direction and vertically movable to it serve the cut ribbon cable 2 at the respective processing stations to fix.
  • Fig. 1 there is the transverse transport device 7 from two transport slides 9, which have a crossbar 10 are connected.
  • Traverse 10 can be used with cable lengths of 82 up to 500 mm are not required because of the bending elasticity of these cables slight displacement of the transport carriage 9 to each other no damage to the Line causes. Use when processing short cable lengths only one transport carriage 9 is sufficient.
  • FIGs. 2 The structure of a transport carriage 9 is shown in Figures 2, 3a and 3b shown in more detail.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are on each Transport carriage 9 transport jaws 11 arranged, the number of on the transport carriage 9 arranged transport jaws 11 of the number which corresponds to the 6 following processing stations of the cable pulling pliers.
