Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for producing individual electrical contact parts made of metal combined in a band for electrical plug connectors with a processing machine for single or multi-stage processing of a semi-finished product for creating the electrical contact parts and with a packaging device downstream of the processing machine with a replaceable packaging device Storage and transport module for accommodating a certain length of the band goods formed by the individual connected contact parts. Furthermore, the invention relates to a bobbin wound with a strip material consisting of a plurality of individual electrical contact parts made of metal combined in a band as a unit for electrical plug connectors and a single electrical contact part for an electrical plug connector each produced with such a device.
- Electrical contact parts made of metal for use in electrical connectors are produced as tapes.
- Such a known device for producing such a tape or tape section consisting of a large number of individual electrical contact parts which, when connected to one another, constitute the tape goods comprises a processing machine into which a sheet metal strip unwound from a spool or reel is introduced on the input side.
- the individual contact parts which are still connected to one another at the output of the processing machine, are produced in a predetermined cycle by punching, bending and / or welding processes in several steps.
- the processing machine is followed by a packaging device with an exchangeable storage and transport module.
- the storage and transport module can, for example, be a coil former on which ne certain length of the tape goods is wound up. It can be provided that, in order to prevent the electrical contact parts from getting caught in the adjoining layers, they are separated from one another by an intermediate layer which is also supplied during the winding of the coil former.
- the coil former is usually given a label which, for example, shows the type and / or the size of the individual contact parts located on the coil former.
- the individual contact parts are generally also identified by means of an embossing process using a manufacturer's identifier.
- the processing speed of the processing machines used in the manufacture of such electrical contact parts is so high that the packaging device usually has a plurality of coil holders arranged next to one another, so that when a wound coil former is exchanged for an empty one, the next coil former can already be wound.
- the high processing speed and the corresponding rapid winding of an individual bobbin sometimes lead to confusion in the manual identification of the individual bobbins. This is particularly undesirable if such a label also contains a batch number, since the assignment of the manufactured contact part to a specific batch is then falsified.
- Such a contact part can ultimately be traced back to the manufacturer via the embossed company label. An up conclusion can not be made from this labeling to the extent that it could be determined within which batch or within which processing interval such an electrical contact part was produced. Such an indication is particularly desirable for product liability reasons, whereby it would also be desirable for the manufacturer of such electrical contact parts to determine to whom the strip section with such an electrical contact part was delivered, since an error originating from such a contact part is not only in the manufacture of the electrical contact part, but also in its further processing by the customer of the coil body.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a generic device mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used to mark the individual electrical contact parts in the form desired in each case without impairing the processing speed.
- This object is achieved in that, in the tape running direction between the output of the processing machine and the downstream packaging device, a labeling device for marking each individual contact part of a length of a tape assigned to a storage and transport module with a tape section that characterizes this section and that of other tape sections other storage and transport modules distinguishing identification, the labeling device is designed, to mark the individual contact parts in the manner of an embossing.
- a labeling device To identify the individual electrical contact parts of a specific strip section, provision is made for a labeling device to be arranged downstream of the processing machine in the strip running direction and upstream of the packaging device.
- This labeling device is designed to provide each individual contact part with an identification, it being possible for all contact parts within a band section to have the same identification or also a different identification. The identification of each contact part differs from that of other band sections.
- the inscription device is designed to mark the individual contact parts in the manner of an embossing, for example by a burning-in or burning-off process.
- a marking laser as the marking device, since with such a marking device it is not only possible to remove material for introducing the identification, but because such a marking device can also apply identification to each individual contact part at high speed. With such a device, individual electrical contact parts which are produced as tapes and which are separated at a later point in time when they are used can thus be identified in such a way that even an individual identification of an individual electrical contact part is not impaired when processing these parts can be made. In principle, however, it is considered sufficient if the contact parts located on a storage and transport module, for example a coil former, all have the same identification. This marking is correspondingly archived by the manufacturer, so that it can also be determined at a later point in time from which batch and under which manufacturing conditions such a contact part has been produced.
- the packaging device is assigned a device for feeding an intermediate layer when winding the tape section onto the spool and that this device for feeding the intermediate layer comprises a labeling device for marking the intermediate layer with the same information with which the individual contact parts of the on this spool wound tape section are marked.
- the intermediate layer also covers the outermost layer of the tape goods and the marking of the intermediate layer is at least also applied to the outside of this section of the intermediate layer. Due to the forced feeding of the marked intermediate layer, the bobbin is marked depending on the strip material. Incorrect labeling of the goods on a bobbin is avoided due to the lack of manual intervention. Particularly when reusable bobbins are used, it is possible to determine which contact parts on which bobbin have been delivered to which customer without the risk of confusion.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 a plan view of a band section with a plurality of electrical contact parts produced with the device of FIGS. 1 and
- FIG. 3 shows an enlarged plan view of a contact part of the band section shown in FIG. 2.
- a device 1 for producing individual electrical contact parts made of metal combined in a band 2 as a unit comprises a processing machine 3, into which a sheet-metal strip 5 wound onto a spool 4 is inserted as a semi-finished product.
- the machining machine 3 is designed to produce 5 individual electrical contact parts K in a band 2 in a predetermined cycle by punching, bending and / or welding operations from the sheet metal strip.
- Such electrical contact parts are shown in a section of the strip 2 in FIG. 2 and are identified with the reference symbol K therein.
- These contact parts are those which have a front housing section 6 into which a contact lamella is inserted.
- An electrical contact part K is thus designed as a socket part.
- the rear region of such a contact part K comprises, as shown in FIG.
- a crimp section 7 which is U-shaped in cross section and whose two side parts 8, 8 'are arranged so as to protrude upwards.
- the crimp section 7 is used to insert an electrical conductor, which can be kept squeezed in the section 7 by folding the side parts 8, 8 '.
- the individual contact parts K are each connected via a web S to a band B connecting the individual contact parts K to one another. Before the individual contact parts K are used, they are released from the band B.
- a labeling laser 9 Downstream of the processing machine 3 is a labeling laser 9, through which the tape 2 consisting of the tape B and the contact parts K attached is guided.
- the marking laser 9 serves to mark the individual contact parts K with an identification number I.
- the marking laser 9 is able to introduce the desired marking into the surface of the individual contact parts K at such a speed that the cycle time of the processing machine 3 is not throttled by the marking process needs to be.
- the labeling laser 9 is followed by a packaging device 10, which essentially comprises a bobbin 11, on which the tape 2 is wound.
- the packaging device 10 is also assigned a device 12 for feeding an intermediate layer 13 of paper onto the bobbin 11 when it is wound with the tape 2.
- the intermediate layer 13 serves to prevent hooking of the individual contact parts K of adjacent layers.
- the device 12 for feeding the intermediate layer 13 further comprises a printer with which the intermediate layer 13 is printed on the outside with an identification.
- the marking laser 9 and the device 12 for feeding an intermediate layer 13 to a common one are connected Control unit
- the intermediate layer 13 for identifying the coil body 11 also receives the same information, which can be printed, for example, as a number or as a bar code.
- the intermediate layer 13 is fed so long that the outside and thus the peripheral surface of the wound tape 2 is covered by the intermediate layer 13 and in this way not only a transport protection for the contact parts K is formed, but in particular also there is the possibility, for example, of being able to read the identification of the goods located on the bobbin 11 on this page using a reading device.
- Such a configuration is particularly advantageous when the coil body 11 is a reusable coil body, so that no confusion or incorrect assignments of previous identifications are possible with regard to the description of the goods on the coil body 11.
- a number sequence is provided as identification I of the individual contact parts K in this exemplary embodiment.
- the individual contact parts of the subsequent strip sections to be wound on further bobbins receive a different identification. Since the identification of the individual contact parts K can also be read from the outside on the intermediate layer 13, this identification can be assigned when the wound bobbin 11 is output to a customer of the delivery, so that later a direct assignment between a contact part K and that customer can be established to which the bobbin 11 has been delivered with this batch.
- the device according to the invention is suitable not only for producing such electrical contact parts as shown in the figures, but also for electrical contact parts of any kind, as long as they are combined like a band and can therefore also be strapped.
