Aus der Patentschrift US 5 937 505 ist eine Crimppresse bekannt geworden, mittels der ein elektrischer Kontakt mit einem Kabelende verbindbar ist. Ein Crimpstempel verbindet zusammen mit einem Crimpamboss den Crimpkontakt mit dem Kabelende, wobei die beim Crimpvorgang auftretende Kraft im Crimpamboss mittels eines Kraftsensors messbar ist.From the US Pat. No. 5,937,505 a crimping press is known, by means of which an electrical contact with a cable end is connectable. A crimping die, together with a crimping stud, connects the crimp contact to the cable end, whereby the force occurring during the crimping process in the crimping anvil can be measured by means of a force sensor.

Nachteilig ist bei solchen Einrichtungen, dass die gesamte Crimpkraft (Leiter- und Isolationscrimpkraft) gemessen wird. Weiter nachteilig ist, dass der Sensor in einem Verschleissteil eingebaut ist.The disadvantage of such devices is that the total crimping force (conductor and insulation crimping force) is measured. Another disadvantage is that the sensor is installed in a wear part.

Aus der Patentschrift US 6 067 828 ist eine Crimpeinrichtung, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, bekannt geworden, bei der zur Herstellung einer Crimpverbindung ein Leitercrimper und ein Isolationscrimper und für beide Crimper ein gemeinsamer Amboss vorgesehen ist. Der Leitercrimper ist mit einem Kraftsensor versehen und der Isolationscrimper ist mit einem Kraftsensor versehen, wobei die Kraftsensoren die auf den Crimpkontakt einwirkenden Crimpkräfte und Störkräfte messen.From the US Pat. No. 6,067,828 a crimping device, according to the preamble of claim 1, has become known, in which a crimped conductor and an insulation crimper are provided for producing a crimp connection and a common anvil is provided for both crimpers. The conductor crimper is with a Force sensor provided and the insulation crimper is provided with a force sensor, wherein the force sensors measure the crimp forces and disturbing forces acting on the crimp contact.

Die erfindungsgemässe Kraftmessung wird den hohen Anforderungen an die Qualitätssicherung gerecht.The advantages achieved by the invention are to be seen essentially in the fact that the force necessary for the production of the conductor crimp is measurable. The power in the conductor anvil is transferred to only one sensor. The force curve during the crimping process is recorded and evaluated, whereby the quality of the crimp connection is checked on the basis of the force curve.

Arranged on the anvil part 15 is a conductor anvil 19 and an isolation anvil 21. A force sensor 20 is arranged on the sensor part 16 and acts on the force occurring in the conductor anvil 19. wherein the force sensor 20 is in turn supported on the first support part 17. The first tare part 17 itself is supported on the first housing 2.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Crimper 8,9, den Leiteramboss 19, den Isolationsamboss 21 und einen Crimpkontakt 22 des Kontaktgurtes 12 vor dem Crimpvorgang. Der gegurtete Crimpkontakt 22 liegt mit seinem Leitercrimp 23 auf dem Leiteramboss 19 und mit seinem Isolationscrimp 24 auf dem Isolationsamboss 21. Das am Ende abisolierte Kabel 18 ist oberhalb des Crimpkontaktes 22 positioniert, wobei der freie Kabelleiter 25 über dem Leitercrimp 23 und die Kabelisolation 26 über dem Isolationscrimp 24 liegt. Der Leitercrimp 23 bzw. der Isolationscrimp 24 ist mehrheitlich V-förmig und nach oben geöffnet. Das Kabelende wird mit der Absenkbewegung der Crimper 8,9 in den Leitercrimp 23 bzw. in den Isolationscrimp 24 eingelegt. Fig. 3 shows the crimp 8.9, the conductor anvil 19, the insulation anvil 21 and a crimp contact 22 of the contact belt 12 before the crimping process. The strapped crimp contact 22 is located with its Leitercrimp 23 on the conductor anvil 19 and with its insulation crimp 24 on the isolation anvil 21. The stripped cable 18 is positioned above the crimp contact 22, wherein the free cable conductor 25 on the Leitercrimp 23 and the cable insulation 26 via the insulation crimp 24 is located. The conductor crimp 23 or the insulation crimp 24 is mostly V-shaped and open at the top. The cable end is inserted with the lowering movement of the crimp 8.9 in the conductor crimp 23 or in the insulation crimp 24.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Crimper 8,9, den Leiteramboss 19 und den Isolationsamboss 21 beim Crimpen des Crimpkontaktes 22 des Kontaktgurtes 12, wobei wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, der Leitercrimp 23 und der Isolationscrimp 24 plastisch deformiert werden. Der Leitercrimp 23 umfasst die Litzen des Kabelleiters 25 und der Isolationscrimp 24 umfasst die Kabelisolation 26. Der Crimpkontakt 22 wird beim Crimpvorgang vom Kontaktgurt 12 getrennt.

Fig. 6 zeigt den Leiteramboss 19 mit dem Kraftsensor 20, auf den die beim Crimpvorgang im Leiteramboss 19 auftretende Kraft einwirkt. Der Leiteramboss 19 stützt sich an einem Sensorkörper 27 ab, der sich wiederum am ersten Trägerteil 17 abstützt. Anstelle des einen Kraftsensors 20 können auch mehrere Kraftsensoren vorgesehen sein, die die im Leiteramboss 19 auftretende Kraft messen. Beispielsweise können am Leiteramboss 19 angeordnete Dehnmesssstreifen die Crimpkraft messen. Fig. 6 shows the conductor anvil 19 with the force sensor 20, which acts on the force occurring during the crimping process in the conductor anvil 19. The conductor anvil 19 is supported on a sensor body 27, which in turn is supported on the first support part 17. Instead of one force sensor 20, it is also possible to provide a plurality of force sensors which measure the force occurring in the conductor anvil 19. For example, strain gauges arranged on the conductor anvil 19 can measure the crimping force.

Fig. 7 zeigt Einzelheiten des Kraftsensors 20 mit dem Sensorkörper 27. Ein die Kraft des Leiteramboss 19 erfassendes scheibenförmiges Piezoelement 28 ist zwischen einer ersten Scheibe 29 und einer zweiten Scheibe 30 angeordnet und mittels eines Kunststoffringes 31 gegen den Sensorkörper 27 elektrisch isoliert. Sensorkörper 27 und erste Scheibe 29 sind aus einem Stück gefertigt, wobei die zweite Scheibe 30 auf den Sensorkörper 27 schraubbar ist. In einer Folie 32 integrierte Leiterbahnen führen das Signal des Piezoelementes 28 einem Stecker 33 zu. Fig. 7 shows details of the force sensor 20 with the sensor body 27. A the force of the conductor anvil 19 detecting disc-shaped piezoelectric element 28 is disposed between a first disc 29 and a second disc 30 and electrically insulated by a plastic ring 31 against the sensor body 27. Sensor body 27 and first disc 29 are made of one piece, wherein the second disc 30 can be screwed onto the sensor body 27. In a film 32 integrated conductor tracks lead the signal of the piezoelectric element 28 to a plug 33.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante ist der Sensorkörper 27 als Gewindeschraube mit Schraubenkopf ausgebildet und die erste Scheibe 29 als lose Scheibe mit Bohrung ausgebildet. Die Gewindeschraube durchdringt die Bohrung und das Piezoelement 28. Die zweite Scheibe 30 wird mit ihrem Innengewinde auf das Ende der Gewindeschraube aufgeschraubt und anschliessend werden die beiden Scheiben 29,30 mittels des Schraubenkopfes verschraubt bis die notwendige Vorspannung des Piezoelementes 28 erreicht ist.In a further embodiment, the sensor body 27 is designed as a threaded screw with a screw head and the first disc 29 is formed as a loose disc with a bore. The threaded screw penetrates the bore and the piezoelectric element 28. The second disc 30 is screwed with its internal thread on the end of the threaded screw and then the two discs 29,30 are screwed by means of the screw head until the necessary bias of the piezoelectric element 28 is reached.
