Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Crimpvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a crimping apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eine solche Crimpvorrichtung ist aus der EP 10 43 814 B1 bekannt. Sie ermöglicht einen besonders schnellen Werkzeugwechsel, ist jedoch hinsichtlich der Qualität der damit erzeugbaren Crimpverbindungen nicht immer völlig befriedigend.Such a crimping device is from the EP 10 43 814 B1 known. It allows a particularly quick tool change, but is not always completely satisfactory in terms of the quality of the crimp connections produced with it.

Aus der EP-A-1667289 ist eine Crimpvorrichtung bekannt, umfassend einen nur als geschlossene Baugruppe austauschbaren Modul, der auf einer gemeinsamen Grundplatte ein Crimpwerkzeug und zumindest eine Speichereinheit für die Crimpkontaktelemente enthält. Das Crimpwerkzeug und die Speichereinheit sind dabei starr verbunden.From the EP-A-1667289 a crimping apparatus is known, comprising a replaceable only as a closed module module containing on a common base plate, a crimping tool and at least one storage unit for the Crimpkontaktelemente. The crimping tool and the storage unit are rigidly connected.

Aus der JP-A-10/014187 ist es bekannt, in einen Spalt zwischen dem Stator eines Elektromotors und dem zugehörigen Gehäuse des Elektromotors einen Kleber einzubringen, um eine Übertragung von Schwingungen zu vermeiden.From the JP-A-10/014187 It is known to introduce into a gap between the stator of an electric motor and the associated housing of the electric motor, an adhesive to prevent transmission of vibrations.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Crimpvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu entwickeln, dass sich ohne Beeinträchtigung der Geschwindigkeit des Werkzeugwechsels eine noch bessere Crimpqualität ergibt.The invention is based on the object to further develop a crimping apparatus of the type mentioned above, that results in an even better crimp quality without affecting the speed of the tool change.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Crimpvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved with a crimping apparatus according to the preamble by the characterizing features of claim 1. In advantageous developments, the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Crimpvorrichtung umfasst somit einen nur als geschlossene Baugruppe austauschbaren Modul, der auf einer gemeinsamen Grundplatte ein Crimpwerkzeug und zumindest eine Speichereinheit für die Crimpkontaktelemente enthält, wobei die Grundplatte einen Werkzeugträger für das Crimpwerkzeug und einen Speicherträger für die Speichereinheit enthält und wobei während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung der Werkzeugträger mit der Crimpvorrichtung starr und unverrückbar verbindbar und von dem Speicherträger schwingungstechnisch trennbar ist. Dabei geht die Erfindung aus von der Erkenntnis, dass die durch den Betrieb einer Crimpvorrichtung generierten Schwingungen verschiedene Ursachen haben und sich gegenseitig überlagern können mit negativem Ergebnis in Bezug auf die Crimpqualität. Die diesbezügliche Gefahr ist durch die schwingungsmäßige Entkopplung des Speicherträgers von dem Werkzeugträger deutlich reduziert. Hierbei ist es von erheblicher Bedeutung, dass die räumliche Größe des Werkzeugträgers gegenüber der bisherigen Ausführung erheblich vermindert ist mit der Folge, dass sich bei gleicher Dicke wie bisher, eine erhebliche Vergrößerung der Steifigkeit des Teils ergibt. Dadurch sind Verbiegungen des Werkzeugträgers beim Transport und der Lagerung auch dann nicht mehr zu erwarten, wenn der Speicherträger voll beladen ist und beispielweise eine volle Rolle mit Crimpkontaktelementen trägt. Die herstellungsbedingt besonders eben hergestellte Grundfläche des Werkzeugträgers bleibt daher auch beim längerfristigen Gebrauch in der erzeugten, ebenen Form erhalten und liegt nach dem Einsetzen in die Crimpvorrichtung auf einer ebenso exakten, ebenen Fläche auf. Federnde und sich damit unter dem Einfluss des Crimpprozesses unkontrolliert ändernde Zuordnungen zu der Crimpvorrichtung werden so vermieden und die ursprünglich eingestellte Crimpgenauigkeit bleibt so besser erhalten als bisher.The crimping device according to the invention thus comprises a module which can only be exchanged as a closed module and which contains on a common base plate a crimping tool and at least one storage unit for the crimp contact elements, wherein the base plate contains a tool carrier for the crimping tool and a storage carrier for the storage unit and wherein during the intended use the tool holder with the crimping rigid and immovable connectable and vibrationally separable from the storage medium. It goes the invention of the knowledge that the vibrations generated by the operation of a crimping device have different causes and can overlap each other with a negative result in terms of Crimpqualität. The related risk is significantly reduced by the vibration decoupling of the storage medium from the tool carrier. It is of considerable importance here that the spatial size of the tool carrier is considerably reduced compared to the previous embodiment, with the result that, with the same thickness as before, a considerable increase in the rigidity of the part results. As a result, bends of the tool carrier during transport and storage are no longer expected even when the storage medium is fully loaded and For example, carries a full role with Crimpkontaktelementen. Therefore, due to its production, the base surface of the tool carrier remains intact even during long-term use in the produced, planar shape and after insertion into the crimping device rests on an equally precise, flat surface. Springing and thus uncontrollably changing under the influence of the crimping assignments to the crimping are avoided and the originally set crimping accuracy is better preserved than before.

Der Werkzeugträger wird zumindest während des Transports und der Lagerung zweckmäßig auf einem Vorsprung des Speicherträgers gelagert und durch Sicherungspratzen unverlierbar daran festgelegt. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass der Werkzeugträger mit dem Crimpwerkzeug und der Speicherträger mit den Crimpkontaktelementen wie bisher einen nur als geschlossene Baugruppe austauschbaren Modul bildet, der besonders leicht zu handhaben ist und gegebenenfalls auch einen Speicher für das zu bestückende Kabel haben kann.The tool carrier is expediently mounted on a projection of the storage medium at least during transport and storage and fixed captive thereto by securing claws. This ensures that the tool carrier forms with the crimping tool and the storage carrier with the Crimpkontaktelementen as before a replaceable only as a closed module module that is particularly easy to handle and possibly also can have a memory for the cable to be equipped.

In einem Teilbereich steht der Werkzeugträger über das vordere Ende des Speicherträgers frei auskragend über, wodurch er außerhalb der Crimpvorrichtung nicht in einen unmittelbaren Berührungskontakt zu einer ebenen und eventuell verschmutzen Lagerfläche im Magazin oder in einer Transportvorrichtung gelangen kann. Die Gefahr, dass sich an der Unterseite unkontrollierbare Verschmutzungen anlagern, die später einen ungenauen Crimpprozess zur Folge haben, ist dadurch deutlich reduziert.In a partial area, the tool carrier protrudes freely over the front end of the storage carrier, as a result of which it can not come into direct contact with the outside of the crimping device for a flat and possibly dirty storage area in the magazine or in a transport device. The risk that attach to the bottom uncontrollable contamination, which later have an inaccurate crimping result, is significantly reduced.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Sicherungspratzen so bemessen sind, dass der Werkzeugträger zumindest in der Crimpvorrichtung mit einem freien, horizontalen und vertikalen Spiel D bewegbar und zweckmäßig mit einem vertikalen Spiel von wenigstens 0,5 und höchstens 3 mm von dem Vorsprung abhebbar ist. Hierdurch ist die Voraussetzung geschaffen, dass während des Crimpprozesses jede direkte gegenseitige Verbindung oder Berührung zwischen dem Werkzeugträger und dem Speicherträger beseitigt ist und damit jegliche Gefahr, dass unerwünschte Kräfte übertragen werden könnten.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the securing claws are dimensioned so that the tool carrier at least in the crimping device with a free, horizontal and vertical play D movable and functional with a vertical clearance of at least 0.5 and can be lifted at most 3 mm from the projection. As a result, the condition is created that during the crimping process any direct mutual connection or contact between the tool carrier and the storage medium is eliminated and thus any risk that unwanted forces could be transmitted.

Um das für eine gegenseitige, schwingungstechnische Entkopplung nötige horizontale und vertikale Spiel zwischen dem Werkzeugträger und dem Speicherträger zu erhalten, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn der Werkzeugträger in der Crimpvorrichtung an einem Hilfsträger festlegbar ist, der ihn zumindest anteilig untergreift und wenn der Werkzeugträger durch den Hilfsträger vertikal von dem Vorsprung abhebbar ist. Der Hub, der sich hierbei ergibt, muss immer kleiner sein, als das Spiel, das die Sicherungspratzen an sich gestatten. Werte von 0, 3 bis 1,0 mm haben sich besonders bewährt.In order to obtain the horizontal and vertical clearance between the tool carrier and the storage medium, which is necessary for mutual decoupling of vibration, it has proved expedient for the tool carrier in the crimping device to be fixable to a subcarrier which at least partially engages under it and if the tool carrier can be lifted vertically from the projection by the subcarrier. The stroke that results in this must always be smaller than the game, which allow the Sicherungspratzen itself. Values from 0, 3 to 1.0 mm have proven particularly useful.

Innerhalb der Crimpvorrichtung sollen der Werkzeugträger und der Hilfsträger zweckmäßig durch Halteklauen starr und unverrückbar verbindbar sein. Beide berühren dabei einander mit verhältnismäßig klein dimensionierten und völlig ebenen und unverschmutzten Flächen. Sie werden zusätzlich durch die Halteklauen miteinander verpresst und nehmen dadurch auch nach einem wiederholten Werkzeugwechsel immer wieder eine exakt kalibrierte, gegenseitige Zuordnungsposition ein.Within the crimping the tool carrier and the subcarrier should be connected by holding claws rigid and immovable. Both touch each other with relatively small-sized and completely flat and unpolluted surfaces. In addition, they are pressed together by the holding claws and thus, even after a repeated tool change, repeatedly assume an exactly calibrated, mutual assignment position.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn zumindest einige Halteklauen schwenkbar in dem Hilfsträger gelagert sind und wenn der Werkzeugträger durch ein Schwenken der Halteklauen von dem Hilfsträger lösbar ist. Hierdurch ist ein werkzeugloser Schnellwechsel des Crimpwerkzeuges möglich.It has proven to be advantageous if at least some retaining claws are pivotally mounted in the subcarrier and when the tool carrier is releasable by pivoting the retaining claws of the subcarrier. As a result, a tool-free quick change of the crimping tool is possible.

Die Halteklauen können dabei in Rastnuten des Werkzeugsträgers einrastbar ausgebildet sein, wobei zweckmäßig jeweils drei Halteklauen und Rastnuten einer aneinander angepassten Größe vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch wird nicht nur ein statisch stabiler Sitz des Werkzeugträgers auf dem Hilfsträger und damit in der Crimpvorrichtung erhalten, sondern darüber hinaus auch eine unverdrehbare und wackelsichere Festlegung.The retaining claws can be formed latchable in locking grooves of the tool carrier, wherein suitably three retaining claws and locking grooves a matched size are provided. As a result, not only is a statically stable seat of the tool carrier on the subcarrier and thus obtained in the crimping, but also a non-rotatable and wobble-proof determination.

Ausführung der ErfindungEmbodiment of the invention

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Crimpvorrichtung 6 umfasst einen nur als geschlossene Baugruppe austauschbaren Modul 1, der auf einer gemeinsamen Grundplatte ein Crimpwerkzeug 2 und zumindest eine Speichereinheit 3 für die Crimpkontaktelemente enthält. Dabei umfasst die Grundplatte einen Werkzeugträger 4 für das Crimpwerkzeug 2 und einen Speicherträger 5 für die Speichereinheit 3, wobei während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung der Werkzeugträger 4 mit der Crimpvorrichtung 6 starr verbindbar und von dem Speicherträger 5 schwingungstechnisch trennbar ist.In the Fig. 1 illustrated crimping device 6 includes a replaceable only as a closed module module 1, which contains a crimping tool 2 and at least one storage unit 3 for the Crimpkontaktelemente on a common base plate. In this case, the base plate comprises a tool carrier 4 for the crimping tool 2 and a storage carrier 5 for the storage unit 3, wherein during the intended use of the tool carrier 4 with the crimping device 6 is rigidly connected and separated from the storage medium 5 vibrationally.

Dazu ist Werkzeugträger 4 zumindest während des Transports und der Lagerung auf einem Vorsprung 7 des Speicherträgers 5 gelagert und durch Sicherungspratzen 8 daran festlegbar ist. Er wird dabei nur teilweise von dem Vorsprung 7 untergriffen, wodurch neben dem Vorsprung liegende Teilbereiche der Unterseite verfügbar sind, die in einen direkten Berührungskontakt mit der Oberseite des Hilfsträgers 4.1 gelangen und durch diesen abstützbar sind.To this end, tool carrier 4 is mounted on a projection 7 of the storage medium 5 at least during transport and storage and can be secured thereto by securing claws 8. He is thereby only partially attacked by the projection 7, whereby lying adjacent to the projection portions of the bottom are available, which get into direct contact with the top of the subcarrier 4.1 and are supported by this.

Dabei sind Sicherungspratzen 8 vorgesehen, die so bemessen sind, dass der Werkzeugträger 4 außerhalb der Crimpvorrichtung in Bezug auf den Speicherträger 5 mit einem horizontalen und vertikalen Spiel frei bewegbar ist. Das vertikale Spiel D soll wenigstens 0,5 und höchstens 3 mm betragen und somit groß genug sein, um den Werkzeugträger 4 von dem Vorsprung 7 frei beweglich abzuheben.In this case, securing claws 8 are provided, which are dimensioned so that the tool carrier 4 is freely movable outside the crimping device with respect to the storage medium 5 with a horizontal and vertical play. The vertical clearance D should be at least 0.5 and not more than 3 mm and thus be large enough to lift the tool carrier 4 from the projection 7 freely movable.

Der Werkzeugträger 4 ist in der Crimpvorrichtung 6 durch Halteklauen 9, 9,1 von denen in Fig. 1 nur die Halteklaue 9 erkennbar ist, starr und unverrückbar in einer exakt vorherbestimmten Zuordnungsposition an dem Hilfsträger 4.1 festgelegt, der ihn anteilig untergreift, wobei der Werkzeugträger 4 durch den Hilfsträger 4.1 von dem Vorsprung 7 abhebbar ist. Der Vorsprung 7 mit dem Speicherträger 5 wird unabhängig von dem Werkzeugträger 4 festgeklemmt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine schwingungstechnische Entkopplung des Werkzeugträgers 4, die für die Erzielung eines qualitativ hochwertigen Crimpergebnisses besonders wichtig ist.The tool carrier 4 is in the crimping device 6 by retaining claws 9, 9,1 of which in Fig. 1 only the retaining claw 9 can be seen, fixed rigidly and immovably in a precisely predetermined assignment position on the subcarrier 4.1, which engages below it proportionally, the tool carrier 4 can be lifted by the subcarrier 4.1 of the projection 7. The projection 7 with the Storage medium 5 is clamped independently of the tool carrier 4. This results in a vibration-technical decoupling of the tool carrier 4, which is particularly important for achieving a high quality Crimpergebnisses.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Werkzeugträger 4 und der Hilfsträger 4.1 durch Halteklauen 9, 9.1 starr mit einander verbindbar, wie in den Fig. 4 und 5 gezeigt.In the embodiment shown, the tool carrier 4 and the subcarrier 4.1 by holding claws 9, 9.1 rigidly connected to each other, as in the Fig. 4 and 5 shown.

Dabei sind die Halteklauen 9.1 schwenkbar in dem Hilfsträger 4.1 gelagert, während die Halteklaue 9 den Halteklauen 9.1 schräg gegenüberliegend angeordnet und starr ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist der Werkzeugträger 4 durch Schwenken der Halteklauen 9.1 von dem Hilfsträger 4.1 lösbar.The retaining claws 9.1 are pivotally mounted in the subcarrier 4.1, while the retaining claw 9 the retaining jaws 9.1 is arranged obliquely opposite and rigid. As a result, the tool carrier 4 is detachable by pivoting the retaining claws 9.1 of the subcarrier 4.1.

Sämtliche Halteklauen 9 und 9.1 sind in Rastnuten des Werkzeugsträgers 4 einrastbar, die eine aneinander angepassten Größe haben. Nach dem Einrasten der Halteklauen 9, 9.1 in die Rastnuten 10 ist der Werkzeugträger 4 unverrückbar und in einer exakt vorherbestimmten Zuordnungsposition an dem Hilfsträger 4.1 festgelegt.All retaining claws 9 and 9.1 are latched in locking grooves of the tool carrier 4, which have a size adapted to each other. After the latching of the retaining claws 9, 9.1 in the locking grooves 10 of the tool carrier 4 is immovable and fixed in an exactly predetermined assignment position on the subcarrier 4.1.

Fig. 1 und Fig. 6 zeigen, Fig. 1 schematisch und Fig. 6 am Beispiel einer konkreten Ausführung, dass während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung zwischen dem Werkzeugträger und dem Speicherträger ein vertikales Spiel vorhanden ist, dass zumindest 0,5 mm beträgt und groß genug ist, jegliche Schwingungsübertragung während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung ganz auszuschließen. Für die Erzielung einer guten Crimpqualität ist das von großem Vorteil. Fig. 1 and Fig. 6 demonstrate, Fig. 1 schematically and Fig. 6 the example of a concrete embodiment that during normal use between the tool carrier and the storage medium vertical play is present that is at least 0.5 mm and is large enough to completely exclude any vibration transmission during normal use. This is a great advantage for achieving a good crimp quality.

Fig. 3 zeigt, dass die Unterseite des Werkzeugträges 4, in dem Bereich, der während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung auf dem Hilfsträger 4.1 aufliegt, einen Abstand von einer gedachten Verlängerung der Ebene aufweist, in der die Unterseite des Speicherträgers 5 angeordnet ist. Bei einer Einlagerung des Moduls 1 hat die Unterseite des Werkzeugträgers daher steht einen Abstand von der Lagerfläche oder sie ist durch den Speicherträger 5 vor einer Fremdberührung verschmutzungssicher geschützt. Verschmutzungen können daher nicht mehr zu Anbackungen und zu einer Verschlechterung des Crimpergebnisses führen. Fig. 3 shows that the underside of the tool carrier 4, in the area which during the intended use on the subcarrier 4.1 rests, has a distance from an imaginary extension of the plane in which the underside of the storage medium 5 is arranged. When storing the module 1, the underside of the tool carrier therefore has a distance from the bearing surface or it is protected by the storage medium 5 from being contaminated by foreign contact. Dirt can therefore no longer lead to caking and a deterioration of the Crimpergebnisses.

Es ist außerdem in Fig. 3 zu erkennen, dass die Größe des mit dem Hilfsträger 4.1 verspannbaren Teils des Werkzeugträgers 4, dies ist allein der frei von unten zugängliche Bereich, im Vergleich zu der jetzigen Ausführung deutlich vermindert ist. Die Gefahr, dass sich unerwünschte Verbiegungen ergeben, ist dadurch deutlich vermindert.It is also in Fig. 3 to recognize that the size of the clamped with the subcarrier 4.1 part of the tool carrier 4, this is alone the freely accessible from the bottom area, compared to the present embodiment is significantly reduced. The risk of unwanted bending is significantly reduced.
