Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist bekannt. Die Antriebseinheit, die Transporteinrichtung und die Bearbeitungseinheit bilden dabei eine in sich geschlossene Baugruppe, die zur Anpassung an das jeweils zu bestückende Kabelende eigens umgerüstet wird. Dabei ergeben sich erhebliche Betriebsunterbrechungen der Vorrichtung. Unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten ist das nicht befriedigend. Such a device is known. The drive unit, the transport device and the processing unit form a self-contained one Assembly that is used to adapt to the cable end to be fitted in each case is specially converted. This results in significant business interruptions the device. From an economic point of view, this is not satisfying.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine solche Vorrichtung derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß sich deutlich reduzierte Umrüstzeiten bei der Anpassung an zu bestückenden Kabelenden mit voneinander abweichenden Kontaktelementen ergeben.The invention has for its object such a device to further develop that significantly reduced changeover times at the Adaptation to cable ends to be fitted with different ones Result in contact elements.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device of the beginning said type solved with the characterizing features of claim 1. The subclaims refer to advantageous refinements.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist es vorgesehen, daß zumindest die Bearbeitungseinheit und die Speichereinheit als eine in sich geschlossene Baugruppe ausgebildet sind und daß die Baugruppe als in sich geschlossene Einheit von der Antriebseinheit trennbar ist. Eventuell erforderliche Anpaßarbeiten können dadurch außerhalb der eigentlichen Vorrichtung vorgenommen werden. Diese kann dadurch bis zur Durchführung des Austauschprozesses in Benutzung bleiben, wird dann kurzfristig abgeschaltet, um die Baugruppe auszutauschen und unmittelbar anschließend wieder in Betrieb genommen. Die für einen solchen Austausch notwendige Betriebsunterbrechungen reduzieren sich dadurch auf ein absolutes Minimum.In the device according to the invention it is provided that at least the Processing unit and the storage unit as a self-contained Assembly are formed and that the assembly as a self-contained Unit is separable from the drive unit. Any necessary adjustment work can be made outside of the actual device become. This can last until the exchange process is carried out remain in use, will then be switched off briefly to the Exchange the module and immediately put it back into operation taken. The business interruptions necessary for such an exchange are reduced to an absolute minimum.

Der Austausch läßt sich besonders zügig bewerkstelligen, wenn die Antriebseinheit einen Abstand von einer mit ihr verbundenen Bodenplatte hat und wenn die Baugruppe zumindest anteilig in den durch den Abstand gebildeten Spalt einfügbar und beiderseits festlegbar ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Spalt hinsichtlich seiner Größe und geometrischen Gestaltung geformt und an die Baugruppe angepaßt. Hierdurch ist beispielsweise möglich, für die Festigung der Baugruppe Schnellkupplungen zu verwenden, was eine nochmals schnellere Bewerkstelligung des Austauschs ermöglichen.The exchange can be accomplished particularly quickly if the drive unit is at a distance from a base plate connected to it and if the assembly is at least partially in the distance formed Gap can be inserted and fixed on both sides. The gap is expedient shaped in terms of its size and geometric design and to the Adapted assembly. This makes it possible, for example, for consolidation the assembly to use quick couplings, which is another enable faster completion of the exchange.

Die Schnellkupplung kann zumindest eine sich quer zu dem Spalt erstreckende T-Nut des einen Teils erfassen, in die ein Pilzkopf oder ein langgestrecktes T-förmig gestaltetes, vorstehendes Profil des anderen Teils einfügbar ist. Die miteinander in Eingriff gelangenden Teile können dabei zweckmäßig durch eine zusätzliche Klemmeinrichtung gegen nachträgliche Verschiebung gesichert werden. Bezüglich der Gestaltung genügt eine relativ leichte Ausbildung, weil die bestimmungsgemäß aufzunehmenden Kräfte von den miteinander in Eingriff stehenden Teilen der T-Nut und des Pilzkopfes aufgenommen werden, d.h. von Teilen, die sich durch eine besonders Robustheit auszeichnen.The quick coupling can have at least one extending transversely to the gap Grasp the T-groove of one part into which a mushroom head or an elongated T-shaped designed, protruding profile of the other part is insertable. The mutually engaging parts can be conveniently by an additional clamping device against subsequent displacement be secured. In terms of design, a relatively light one is sufficient Training because the forces to be absorbed as intended by the interlocking parts of the T-groove and the mushroom head be included, i.e. of parts that are characterized by a special Characterize robustness.

Als zweckmäßig hat es sich erwiesen, wenn in die Baugruppe zusätzlich die Transporteinrichtung für die Kontaktelemente integriert ist. Die Transporteinrichtung kann hierdurch in spezifischer Weise an ein im Einzelfall zur Anwendung gelangendes Kontaktelement angepaßt sein, was es ermöglicht, die Transporteinrichtung in optimaler Weise zu gestalten und unter Umständen eine erheblich verbesserte Betriebssicherheit zu erzielen. Es ist somit auch nicht erforderlich, größere und kleinere Kontaktelemente hinsichtlich bestimmter Einzelheiten völlig übereinstimmend zu gestalten, nur um eine universelle Transporteinrichtung benutzen zu können. Außerdem bietet eine solche Integration der Transporteinrichtung die zusätzliche Möglichkeit, verschleißbedingte Funktionsprobleme der Transporteinrichtung im Vorfeld der eigentlichen Verwendung zu erkennen und zu eliminieren.It has proven to be useful if in addition to the assembly Transport device for the contact elements is integrated. The transport device can thereby in a specific way to a Application contact element to be adapted, which makes it possible to design the transport device in an optimal manner and under certain circumstances to achieve a significantly improved operational safety. So it is also not necessary, larger and smaller contact elements with regard to certain To make details completely consistent, just to be universal To be able to use transport equipment. It also offers one Integration of the transport facility the additional possibility of wear-related Functional problems of the transport device in advance of the actual one Detect and eliminate usage.

In der Speichereinheit kann zumindest eine Rolle eines Streifens aufnehmbar sein, der die Kontaktelemente enthält. Dabei besteht auch die Möglichkeit, Kontaktelemente zu verwenden, die Vorsprünge eines durchgehenden Stanzbandes bilden und die innerhalb der Lagen der Rolle durch einen Papierstreifen voneinander getrennt sind, um ein gegenseitiges Verhaken zu verhindern. Natürlich ist es ebenfalls möglich, eine Speichereinheit zu verwenden, die durch ein Magazin für separierte Kontaktelemente gebildet ist.At least one roll of a strip can be accommodated in the storage unit be that contains the contact elements. There is also the possibility To use contact elements, the projections of a continuous punched tape form and within the layers of the roll by a strip of paper are separated from each other to prevent them from getting caught. Of course it is also possible to use a storage unit which is formed by a magazine for separated contact elements.

Die Speichereinheit und die Bearbeitungseinheit können in von der Antriebseinheit getrenntem Zustand aneinander annäherbar sein, um das Lager- und Transportvolumen der Baugruppe zu reduzieren. Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, für eine solche gegenseitige Annäherung ein Gelenk und/oder eine gleitende Verbindung zwischen beiden vorzusehen, beispielsweise eine Schiebemuffe.The storage unit and the processing unit can in the Drive unit separate state to be approachable to each other Reduce the storage and transport volume of the assembly. There is the Possibility of a joint and / or for such mutual approximation to provide a sliding connection between the two, for example one Sliding sleeve.
