Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable storage device for Cable processing machines for storing two at their other one end connected to a double cable, cut to size and extended cables on at least one Cable receiving area and for the separation of these cables after their processing, being in the area of the ejection movement axes from from the wire processing machine transported cables formed a cable receiving area is, and being in the cable entry area of the latter one for grasping in their direction of transport seen rear ends of the two cables certain, with provided at least one cable gripping unit Swivel arm for feeding the rear, to be machined Ends of the two cables to at least one in the swivel area of the swivel arm located cable processing station are provided, and the swivel range the swivel arm over both ejection movement axes is extended, which is in the cable processing process last cable processing station is designed as a double crimping unit.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a Cable storage device of the type mentioned in the introduction, which the above disadvantages of the previous Devices, i.e. by means of which two cables processed parallel to each other, even if at one end via a double crimp contact are interconnected, at least over a part their length spatially separated from each other in a cable tray are stored so that they are tied separately can be.
  • the cable receiving surface to form a cable receiving and stretching area 15 through an upper entrainment area of an endlessly rotating receiving conveyor belt 14 is formed.
  • shorter cables 3.4 would be a stationary one Cable receiving area is sufficient.
  • the cable storage device 1 with a conventional, previously known Cable processing machines 2 to a common Work unit connected, and is used for separate storage of processed by the wire processing machine 2 Cables 3 and 4 for the production of so-called Double crimp cables 25 or e.g. of two individual conductors of different diameters.
  • the two cables 3 and 4 are in a known manner of the two belt drive units 5 and 6 one Swivel head 7 supplied, which the front ends of the Cable 3 and 4 for their stripping and subsequent Crimp contact of one or more of the Processing stations 8 to 11 feeds.
  • the cable entry area of the receiving conveyor belt 14 is one for grasping in their direction of transport seen rear ends of the two cables 3 and 4 certain, provided with two cable gripping units 19 and 20 Swivel arm 21 for feeding the rear ends of the two cables 3 and 4 to one in the swivel area of the Swivel arm 21 located stripping unit 42, then to a cable end joining unit 43, and subsequently to a double crimping unit 22.
  • the cable end joining unit 43 can thereby as in the unpublished European patent application No. 98810861.9 his.
  • the previously stripped rear cable ends of the two cables 3 and 4 combined and then in a double crimping unit 22 by means of a common crimp contact connected with each other.
  • the one provided with two cable gripping units 19 and 20 Swivel arm 21 can be part of the wire processing machine 2 or part of the cable storage device 1 represent.
  • a first motor is used in a known manner Drive 47 for precisely controlled pivoting of the Swivel arm 21 and a second motor drive 46 for longitudinal displacement of the latter (Figure 8).
  • This separating flap 24 is after completion of the Double crimp cable 25 for further separation of the two crimped together cables 3 and 4 of the latter in the separation position swung down vertically ( Figure 4), and by swiveling back accordingly the swivel arm 21 in a swivel position the latter moves in which the separating flap 24 just above one in one below located first cable storage tray 26, after extending first cable guide and Separating part 28 is located.
  • This first, together with the first cable storage tray 26 pivotable cable guide and separate part 28 is to maintain the separation of the two cables 3 and 4 of a double crimp cable 25 when it is transferred from the first cable storage tray 26 into the second cable storage tray 27 in the emptying position of the first cable storage tray 26 (Fig. 7) in releasable engagement with one in the second Cable Storage Tray 27 Arranged Second Double Crimp Cable Guide and -paragraph part 29 can be brought.
  • the two cable gripping units 19 and 20 around a vertical axis 38 or 39 in a horizontal plane pivotally attached to the pivot arm 21, and over two pneumatic cylinder units 32 and 33, each with three Working positions from the other cable gripping unit can be swiveled towards or away, so that e.g. at the Crimp the rear merged ends of the Cable 3 and 4 in the double crimping unit 22, the cable gripping unit 19 for better accessibility of the both rear ends of cables 3 and 4 to be machined pivoted away laterally with the aid of the pneumatic cylinder unit 33 can be.
  • the two cable gripping units 19 and 20 thanks to the two vertical guides 40 and 41 the effect of at least one acting upwards Compression spring (not shown) resiliently downwards lowerable.
  • the cable end merging unit 43 is as before mentioned, e.g. as in the European patent application No. 98810861.9, designed, i.e. the two crimped, stripped ends of the two cables 3 and 4 are, as in particular from the FIGS. 2 and 3, one gripper unit 44 each, or 45 of the cable end joining unit 43, then these two ends after releasing the two cables 3 and 4 by the two cable gripping units 19 and 20 by rotating the gripper unit 44 associated gripper merged (Fig.4), the two cables 3 and 4 together through the Cable gripping unit 20 held, and then this both ends merged in this way after another Deflection of the swivel arm 21 up to the double crimping unit 22 in the latter via a single crimp contact connected with each other.
  • the swivel arm 21 is swiveled back again, i.e. in the cable drop position shown in Figure 5 brought where the first cable management and spare part 28 brought into engagement with the separating flap 24, and then the gripper of the cable gripping unit 20 is released, so that the double crimp cable 25, like from Figure 6 can be seen with the cables 3 and 4 through the first cable guide and separator part 28 separated, falls down into the first cable storage tray 26.
  • the swivel is Cable separating flap 24 and its drive 34 on the cable gripping unit 20 flanged.
  • the pneumatic drive 34 provided with a rotary piston 35 which, as in particular can be seen from Figure 11, pneumatically by about 90 ° between the side stop surfaces of a fixed Stop element 36 within a cylinder 37 can be moved.
  • this cabal storage device 1 In the operation of this cabal storage device 1 is first a certain batch size on finished double crimp cables 25 temporarily stored in the first cable storage tray 26 and after maintaining this lot size the separation of cables 3 and 4 in the second cable tray 27 passed, which then in their longitudinal direction C is moved and thus the finished double crimp cable 25 for tying and removal by hand from the danger zone of the automatic cable processing machine 2 moved out.
