Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool crimping a contact on the end of an electric cable. It also relates to a method of crimping a contact on the end of an electric cable.
  • Licences FR2.686.459 , FR2.708.150 and FR2.710.788 relate to methods of connecting a cable to a contact and a crimping tool of such a contact suitable for aluminum cables.
  • they require the use of contacts having a partially frustoconical outer surface and are therefore not suitable for contacts of cylindrical outer shape at least in the parts to be crimped.
  • Licences FR1.240.942 and US2.985.047 are relative to a tool allowing, in one embodiment, to crimp a contact both on the conductive core of the cable and on a non-stripped portion of its insulating sheath.
  • This tool comprises articulated jaw blades forming two stages operated simultaneously, one ensuring crimping of the contact on the conductive core and the other ensuring crimping of the contact on the insulating sheath.
  • the part of the contact crimped on the insulating sheath has a section whose perimeter comprises three flat faces arranged substantially in a triangle, interconnected by concave portions.
  • this section is not suitable for connector contacts used in particular in aeronautics because the tools for insertion and extraction of said contacts in these connectors require that the section of the contacts crimped on the insulating sheath is substantially elliptical and preferably circular .
  • the best airtightness of the crimping of the contact on the insulating sheath is still obtained with a section of the contacts crimped on the substantially elliptical and preferably circular insulating sheath.
  • crimping said contact on the conductive core should preferably have a section with concave portions distributed over its perimeter in order to obtain good mechanical tensile strength characteristics and good electrical connection characteristics.
  • the patent US3.713.322 is relative to a tool for crimping a contact in a substantially circular section.

  • Patent applications US2004 / 072378 and WO2004 / 021523 (considered to be the closest state of the art) describe a tool having two crimping stages and making it possible to crimp a contact both on the conductive core of the cable and on the insulating sheath of this cable, substantially simultaneously.
  • a tool requires significant effort on the clamping handles. These efforts are all the more important as the diameter of the cable is high. They are particularly troublesome when returning the tool to the rest position at the end of crimping. In addition, such forces can cause rapid wear of some parts of the tool.
  • this tool is designed so that during a displacement of the cam relative to the crimping elements, in a first direction corresponding to a crimping, said rotary element occupies a first position with respect to said crimping element, wherein said distance is maximum, and upon displacement of the cam relative to the crimping elements, in a second direction, inverse of the first direction, said rotary member occupies a second position with respect to said crimping member, wherein said distance is minimal.
