Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for implanting pins in a device such as a connector, a printed circuit, a coil body, transformer or, in general, any device suitable for receiving pins.
  • a device such as a connector, a printed circuit, a coil body, transformer or, in general, any device suitable for receiving pins.
  • the system aims to implant the pins in the connector holes.
  • pin includes any type of male electrical contact or female, intended to be installed in a support or a base to constitute, after the insertion of the contacts in the support, a connector full electric can be attached to a device or terminate a cable.
  • the pins can be loose, be placed on a carrier strip or be prepared in the form of sections precut continuous wire wound on a reel.
  • the system according to the invention essentially relates to the pins formed from separable sections of a continuous wire wrapped around of a coil, that is to say that the sections are arranged one at a time following the others, at the tail leu leu, and connected to each other by frangible zones of smaller section, constituting "notches".
  • This system allows you to unroll the sections of wire one by one, then to separate the first end section from the rest of the continuous wire and, finally, inserting said separate section into the hole in the connector support. Although it is widely used, this system nevertheless has drawbacks.
  • the frangible zone does not does not break openly, which leaves it at the end of the pins, a burr. This is all the more important as it is difficult to place the notch delimiting the frangible zone in optimal position relative to the punch of the mechanism, due to the length tolerances sections forming the future pins. So, such burrs may interfere with the actual connection operation and cause subsequent malfunctions.
  • This system has other drawbacks. It is notably relatively slow since it is limited to the insertion of a single pin at the time.
  • the use of a punch mechanism by stamping results also noise pollution and cyclic shock and vibration always harmful to the system itself and its settings, as well that the accumulation of metallic particles produced by the mechanism at punch during the section separation operation. The punch must also be changed regularly.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and relates to a system which allows, in particular, a separation sections without burrs and without the need for rigorous indexing at level of the frangible zone, simultaneous implantation of several pins, may have different lengths and cross sections, and any layout configuration of said pins (by example four aligned pins, or four pins forming the vertices a square and a pin in the center, etc ).
  • the separation of end section of the rest of the wire is obtained by a simple movement relative between the two units, which causes the rupture of the frangible zone, and this without using any cutting mechanism such as a punch mechanism.
  • the absence of a cutting mechanism near the section to be separated allows the installation of pins (separate sections) arranged according to reduced steps and even several pins simultaneously which can have different lengths and cross sections without being hindered by such a cutting mechanism, since the space around said units is then free.
  • the two units are aligned so that said end section introduced into the unit implantation and said rest of the wire guided in the advance unit have a rectilinear configuration defining the direction of advance of said wire, and that, in said second position, as a result of a relative movement between said units having caused the rupture of the corresponding frangible zone, said implantation unit is arranged transversely to said unit in advance, to allow the implantation of said end section in said device.
  • said relative movement between said units consists in a rotation of the implantation unit around a perpendicular axis in the direction of advance of said wire, to bring it from the first position aligned with the feed unit, at the second position, perpendicular to the previous one.
  • the two units are carried by a frame, said implantation unit being mounted on a rotary shaft connected to said frame and perpendicular in the direction of advance of said wire, so as to allow, under the action drive means, the passage of said implantation unit from the first position to the second position and vice versa.
  • the two units are connected to each other by so that during the transition from the first position to the second position, the advance unit follows the implantation unit to allow a break smoothly of said frangible zone between said corresponding sections. So the separation takes place gradually and cleanly, allowing to obtain pins whose profile is devoid of any roughness and which have not undergone deformation.
  • connection between the two units is defined by a articulation axis parallel to said rotary shaft and located opposite said frangible zone between said end section, housed in the implantation unit, and said remainder of the continuous wire, received in the feed unit, and said feed and guide unit is pivotally mounted about an axis of pivot, parallel to said articulation axis and carried by a slide which can slide along said frame, perpendicular to said pivot axes and articulation.
  • Said pivot axis is preferably located at the rear of said advance and guide unit, opposite to said articulation axis units, located at the front of said advance unit. The unit of advance and guidance then performs an oscillating and sliding movement, in the manner a piston rod of a heat engine.
  • said advance and guide unit comprises at less a longitudinal guide channel receiving said wire and a mechanism in advance controllable cooperating with the latter to ensure the advance step by step of said continuous wire.
  • Several longitudinal channels can be arranged parallel to each other to contain each a continuous thread.
  • Several end sections can thus be separated to be received in the implantation unit and implanted in the base of the connector.
  • the number and arrangement of said channels can be any according to the requirements, for example we could have two, three, four or more channels arranged in a row, in a triangle, square, staggered, etc ... without departing from the scope of the invention, this which allows several pins to be installed simultaneously (end sections separated) in the connector base.
  • said implantation unit comprises a support associated with said rotary shaft and an implantation head slidably mounted on said support and provided at its end facing said advance unit in the first position, from less a housing in which can be received said end section of the wire. If the feed unit is provided with several channels each receiving a continuous wire, the implantation head is then provided with several housings in correspondence.
  • said system comprises means for controlling the sliding of said implantation head to ensure introduction of said end section in said device when said implantation unit occupies the second position.
  • said control means may include a cam driven in rotation and linked, by a synchronization mechanism, to the rotary shaft carrying said implantation unit, so that, when the latter occupies said second position, the action of the cam causes said head to slide towards said device to implant said section.
  • holding means ensure locking in position of said end section in said housing of said implantation head, from the separation of said section from the rest of the wire until its implantation.
  • said holding means are of the suction type and include a cooperating fluid power source with said housing by a conduit formed in said implantation head.
  • an elastic return element between said support and said head of the implantation unit to bring said head back inactive position after implantation of said section.
  • system 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 The purpose of system 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is to set up or inserting pins B into the holes of a connector C ready to cooperate, subsequently, with another connector with complementary pins.
  • these are formed, as shown in Figure 4, by identical sections of a continuous wire F, connected one after the other by frangible zones Z of lower resistance forming "notches".
  • the continuous wire F of sections comes from a coil not shown but in a manner known per se, and is unwound step by step by system 1 as we will see later, to separate the pin or end section BE from the rest of the wire F and install it in the corresponding hole in the connector.
  • system 1 can receive four wires continuous, arranged in parallel (in a horizontal row), to implant simultaneously, at each operating cycle, four pins in corresponding holes of the connector concerned.
  • the number of continuous wires and their arrangement could be different depending on the requirements, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the system 1 comprises a step forward unit pitch and guide 2 of said continuous wires F in a direction of advance A and an implantation unit 3 of said end pins of the wires F in the connector.
  • the two units 2 and 3 are carried by a frame 4 in the form of a plate and they are mounted movable relative to each other to reversibly occupy a first extreme position of loading ( Figures 1 to 3) in which the end sections or pins BE of the four parallel wires F are introduced into the implantation unit 3 by the feed unit 2, and, after moving one relative to the other and rupture of the corresponding frangible zones, one second extreme position of implantation ( Figures 9 and 10) in which the BE end pins of the wires, separated from the rest of the four F wires, are suitable for being installed in the corresponding holes of connector C.
  • the implantation unit 3 is mounted on a rotary shaft 5 linked to the frame 4 and perpendicular to the sense of advance to said sons.
  • This rotary shaft is linked to a drive motor 6 fixed to the frame 4, the plate of which is arranged in a vertical plane in the figures, so that the geometric axis of said shaft 5 is horizontal.
  • the installation unit 3 consists of a support 7 associated with the rotary shaft 5, and an implantation head 8 which is mounted sliding on a slide 9 provided on the support 7 and arranged perpendicularly to the geometric axis of said shaft 5.
  • the head 8 has a tapered end 8A in which four housings are provided parallel 10 intended to receive the end pins BE of the wires.
  • the other end 8B of the head is provided with a roller 11 able to cooperate with means 12 for controlling the sliding of the implantation head 8 relative to the support 7 and thus allow the insertion of the pins in the connector.
  • Means 13 for holding the position of the separate spindle in the respective housing 10 are provided and include a fluidic suction source not shown, connected to the housing 10 by a conduit 8C formed in the head 8.
  • an element to elastic return 14 such as a spring, is provided between the support and the head, parallel to the sliding direction of the latter in the support.
  • the advance and guide unit 2 comprises a support 15 which has four longitudinal and parallel channels 16 in which are arranged the continuous son F from the coils not shown. These four channels can be constituted by tubes or conduits, or by grooves or guide grooves forming, in all cases, channels guide 16 of said aligned sections of son F.
  • stepwise and synchronized advance of the threads at each cycle of operation of system 1 is ensured by a feed mechanism 17 of the type with skids or ratchets, symbolized in the figures and cooperating by example with the frangible zone Z between two consecutive sections of each wire to advance it by a step equal to the length of said sections, towards the plant unit (of course, we could provide, in special cases of establishment, an independent advance of each wire or groups of wires).
  • the advance 2 and implantation 3 units are aligned in the first loading position so that the channels 16 of unit 2 and the housings 10 of unit 3 are in correspondence and in the respective extension of each other.
  • the two units 2, 3 are connected to each other to ensure the desired kinematics of the system 1.
  • the connection between the units is defined by an axis of articulation 19 associating the two supports 7 and 15 and parallel to the rotary shaft 5.
  • This hinge pin 19 is also located substantially in the perpendicular extension of the frangible zone Z between the two end pins BE and BP of said son.
  • said advance and guide unit 2 is mounted pivoting about a pivot axis 20 which is parallel to the axis of articulation 19 and which is carried by a slide 21 capable of sliding in a slide 22 secured to the frame and whose sliding direction is perpendicular to the pivot and articulation axes.
  • This pivot axis 20 is located at the rear end 15B of unit 2, the front end 15A of which is facing the plant unit 3.
  • the guide unit 2 can be compared to the connecting rod of an engine thermal, of which the crankshaft would be the layout unit 3 and the piston, the slide 21.
  • the control means 12 for sliding the implantation head 8 include, in this embodiment, a cam 23 mounted on a shaft 24 which is carried by the frame and which is arranged parallel to the rotary shaft 5 of the implantation unit, directly above it.
  • the shaft 24 of the cam 23 is mechanically connected to the rotary shaft 5 by an appropriate synchronization mechanism 25 so that the action of the cam on the implantation head of the unit is only possible when said implantation unit occupies the second position, as is will see later.
  • the operation of the implantation system 1 according to the invention takes place as follows.
  • system 1 occupies the first extreme loading position illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5 corresponding at the start of an operating cycle.
  • the two units are aligned horizontally, so that the housings 10 of the implantation head 8 are an extension of the guide channels 16 of the wires F.
  • the end pins BE of the latter are brought, via the advance mechanism 17, into the housing of the implantation head which is in a position inactive with respect to the support 7 under the action of the return spring 14.
  • the four frangible zones Z are then located between the two units, and are substantially aligned with the articulation axis 19 of the units.
  • the motor 6 rotates, via of its rotary shaft 5, the implantation unit 3 which rotates according to the arrow R to move from its horizontal position to a vertical position.
  • the figures 6, 7 and 8 show an intermediate position of the implantation unit 3 which, by the hinge pin 19, drives with it the advance unit 2 in an oscillating and sliding movement, like a connecting rod of a heat engine.
  • the front of the feed unit 2 follows the trajectory rotary described by the hinge pin 19, while the rear thereof follows a rectilinear trajectory along the slide 22 - slide 21 link, while pivoting around the pivot axis 20.
  • the BE end pins located in the slots of unit 3, and the remains of continuous wires F, located in channels 16 of unit 2, bend gradually at their frangible zones Z to go from one state aligned to a folded state.
  • the frangible zone Z begins to break gradually.
  • the holding means 13 ( Figure 11) act to immobilize, by suction via conduit 8C, each separate pin in its respective housing 10 and, more particularly, against the bottom 10A thereof. So, BE pins are held in slots 10 when the unit location 3 occupies its second position.
  • cam 23 continues its rotation so that its eccentricity E decreases, which causes the head 8 to return to its inactive position high, under the action of the spring 14 which relaxes ( Figures 14 and 15).
  • the profile 23A of cam 2 leaves the caster of the implantation head which is then in the high vertical position, and the motor 6 of the shaft 5 is pressed again, in the opposite direction to the previous one, to bring back the two units 2 and 3 in the position illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 and, thus, complete the operating cycle of system 1.
