Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crimping pliers with Crimpst Congresseln and a through hole for the introduction of a cable end to be crimped, wherein the introduction of the cable end by an adjustable, fixed to the crimping pliers, but preferably operatively releasable stop member is limited, further wherein the stop member has different stop pins, which optionally by Depressions can be activated and, when another stop pin is selected, the activated stop pin held under pretension in its non-activated position can be released from the stop position.
  • a crimping tool with crimping pliers with crimping rams known, wherein a through hole is provided for the introduction of a cable end to be crimped.
  • the introduction of the cable end is limited by an adjustable, fixed with the crimping pliers, operationally releasable, stopper part.
  • the stop member has various stop pins, which can be selectively activated by depressing. By selecting a different stop pin, the activated stop pin retained under bias in its non-activated position must be released from the stop position.
  • the stop member is movable in total, against spring force when a wire part to be crimped or the like is driven against the stopper pin with a certain force, so that a compensating movement can take place.
  • this known embodiment is not yet satisfactory in every respect.
  • the invention has the object to provide a crimping tool with a stop member, which can react in a favorable manner to the stresses occurring during crimping.
  • a stop pin has a stop body and that the stop body is elastically evasive held in the stop pin in the stop direction.
  • the stopper body may then possibly dodge a limited distance elastically when inserting a wire to be crimped or the like in the direction of attack. So a favorable reception of a wire is guaranteed even at high stress.
  • the activated stop pin is held by a spring catch formed by a support spring and the spring catch can be canceled by a release movement of the stop member. Accordingly, a further spring is provided, which acts in addition to the stopper pin biasing in its non-activated position spring on the stop pin. In addition, it is provided that this spring, the support spring can be canceled in their effect by a release movement of the stop member. Accordingly, a handling is given, which allows the stop member to raise a total - and then to twist - if another stop pin is to be activated. In the course of lifting, the initially activated stop pin also moves to its non-activated position. After the rotational movement has been made and the stop member is released again, correspondingly abuts the crimping tool, a next stop pin can be moved from its non-activated position to its activated position by simply pressing down.
  • the release movement of the stop member in the direction of extension of the inserted cable end is feasible.
  • the stop member must be moved to the solution so transversely to the crimp plane relative to the crimping tool. It is further preferred that the stop member to move in the release movement against a spring preload. The spring preload otherwise holds the stop member in contact with the crimping tool.
  • a form-fit acting against rotation in the contact position of the abutment part on the crimping tool is preferably provided.
  • the support spring is spreadable to cancel the spring catch.
  • the support spring for canceling the spring detent of the activated stop pin is correspondingly rendered ineffective by the fact that - locally - elastically bent. This bending or spreading takes place in the course or by the release movement of the stop member.
  • the support spring extends in a direction transverse to the release movement plane. Although it may also basically extend into the application of an end face of the activated stop pin and may come off as a result of the release movement by sliding thereof, it is preferred that the support spring, at least to a substantial extent, more preferably but also completely, extends in a transverse plane to the release movement.
  • the spreading or out of action Bring the support spring is preferably not done by the immediate interaction with the activated stop pin, but by a separate expansion.
  • This expansion part may preferably be a connecting pin, which has the stop member and via which it is connected to the crimping tool. The spreading can be done in this case by a cooperation between the connecting pin and the support spring.
  • the connecting pin has a spreading extension or spreads as such in the course of the release movement of the stop member, the support spring.
  • the interaction with the connecting pin and the retaining spring is preferably provided on the stop member radially offset from a locking engagement of the support spring with the activated stop pin.
  • the connecting pin thus does not engage directly, but only indirectly in the latching connection between the support spring and the activated stop pin.
  • the interaction of the retaining spring with the connecting pin is radially inwardly with respect to the cooperation with the stop pin.
  • the abutment part it is also preferred, although not necessary, for the abutment part to be altogether at least substantially circular or cylindrical in shape.
  • a single support spring is provided for all stop pins of the stop member.
  • the stop body has a stopper body head and that the stopper body head cooperates with a spring member. In cooperation with this spring part results in the elastic evasion.
  • the stopper body head form a stop shoulder which cooperates in a counter-stop direction formed in the direction opposite the stop direction with a counterstop formed in the interior of the stopper pin. The counter-stop is the outermost limit to the movement of the stopper body against the stop direction. Normally, the stopper body is in the position defined by this stop shoulder.
  • the stop pin may further preferably have a gripping end.
  • This is particularly preferably a slightly enlarged diameter, button-like end, by pressure on which the stop pin from the described non-activated position in the activated position is displaced as a whole. More preferably, this gripping end may be formed by a gripping part in the stop pin einitzendes. This means in particular a production technology favorable connection, such as by a press fit.
  • a crimping tool 1 with a stop member 2 arranged thereon which is also referred to as a locator.
  • the crimping tool further has, what is not shown in detail, crimping plunger and a through hole for the introduction of a cable end to be crimped.
  • the introduction of the cable end is limited by the stop member, the stop member depending on the crimped cable has different stop pins, which can be brought into operative position either by turning the stop member and depressing a stop pin 3.
  • a depressed, activated stop pin 3 is biased to its non-activated position. This bias is used when a new stop pin 3 is to be brought into operative position to put the activated stopper pin 3 in its non-activated position.
  • An activated stop pin is in the Fig. 5 and 8th shown, a non-activated stop pin 3 in Fig. 7 ,
  • the stopper itself is essentially cylindrical and rotationally symmetrical structure. It has a central fastening means 4, by means of which it is to be attached to the crimping tool 1, for example by means of a screw.
  • the attachment is in this case such that the arranged on a circular arc stop pins 3 are always to bring by turning the stop member 2 in register to the passage opening of the crimping tool. Accordingly, the stopper part 2 eccentrically with respect to the passage opening supported on the crimping tool 1.
  • stop pins 3 are provided.
  • a stop pin 3 is biased by a compression spring 5 in its non-activated position (see Fig. 5 . 7 . 8th ).
  • a support spring 6 is provided, in particular compare Fig. 6 , which is arranged in the embodiment in a plane transverse to the depression direction of a stop pin 3.
  • the support spring 6 has a plurality of cooperation regions 7 in which it interacts with a stop pin 3, respectively.
  • the overall substantially cylindrically shaped stop pin 3 has for this purpose an at least over a part of its circumference formed engagement groove 8, in which the corresponding circularly curved cooperation region 7 after depression, see Fig. 8 , engages.
  • This is characterized in that the support spring 6 is formed and arranged relative to the stop pins 3 so that the support spring 6 is always pulled under bias respectively radially outward by the in the interaction areas 7 this passing stop pins 3.
  • the interaction between the support spring 6 and a Stop pin 3 in the interaction area 7 is so strong that the depressed locking position according to Fig. 8 , is maintained even against the action of the compression spring 5.
  • a stopper 2 To release the activated position of a stop pin 3 according to Fig. 8 is the stopper 2 to move a total. And in a direction that runs counter to the direction of depression of the stop pin, or in the insertion direction of an inserted cable end. In such a release movement of the central support pin 9 of the stop member 2 remains due to the aforementioned Screw connection with the crimping tool 1 fixed.
  • the housing 10 of the stop member 2 is therefore moved relative to the pin 9, while compressing the compression spring 11 which acts between the housing 10 and the stop pin 3.
  • the compression spring 11 is a helical spring which surrounds the stopper pin 3 over part of its axial length.
  • the retaining spring 6 is accommodated overall in the housing 10, which also includes an upper housing part 14, the radial movement of the retaining spring 6 and, in particular, the action areas 7 is limited in the exemplary embodiment by a retaining wall 15. There is therefore a spreading movement in the region of the holding part 7, whereby the holding force on a stopper pin 3 so far decreases that the compression spring 5 is stronger and the retaining pin 9 in the position according to Fig. 7 , the unactivated position, pushes back.
  • stop member 2 since the stop member 2 is raised overall, relative to an outer surface of the crimping tool 1, with the exception of the central pin 9, it can also be rotated at the same time such that another stopper pin 3 comes into register with the through hole of the crimping tool.
  • the interaction between the support pin 9 and the support spring 6 is radially offset from the interaction between the Support spring 6 and a stopper pin 3, namely radially inwardly in this regard.
  • the support spring 6 is as out Fig. 6 also visible, integrally formed. You could basically be designed in several parts.
  • the support spring consists of a plurality of loop-like regions corresponding in number to preferably the number of stop pins 3.
  • the loop-like regions are preferably formed radially on the inside, to form the interaction region 7, each with a circular segment-shaped section running concave from radially inward.
  • These sections are preferably not formed contiguously. They are further preferably formed so that they would give or give a closed line / closed circle in continuation of their extension. In addition, these sections preferably go over the corner area radially outward into extending legs.
  • the legs are preferably slightly divergent. These legs preferably merge into a circular segment-shaped radially outer arc section, which forms the already mentioned mounting region 7.
  • a preferably Y-shaped splitting is given, which forms the connection to the neighboring spring element or nachbarsch furnishedmén area.
  • the transition is further preferably formed relief loop-like.
  • the concave inner arcuate portions preferably extend along a line, more preferably a circular line, which is preferably adapted to the outer dimension of the retaining pin 9, but, in order to achieve the effect described, is smaller than the outer dimension of the retaining pin 9 in its head region which he expands due to the cone part.
  • the mentioned circle or the mentioned line is greater than the outer diameter of the support pin 9, namely the extent of the compression spring 11, which still extends in the assembled state within said circle.
  • a stop pin 3 has inside a stop body 16 which is limited longitudinally displaceable in the stopper pin 3 designed largely cylindrical inside.
  • the stopper body 16 in the stop direction, ie in the direction of the gripping end formed by the gripping part 21 of a stop pin 3, elastically evasive.
  • the stopper body 16 itself is in turn hollow or designed with a receiving opening, so that a wire end or the like can enter into this.
  • the stopper body 16 has a cylindrical guide portion 22, with which it leads to the cylindrical inner surface of the stop pin 3.
  • This guide body 22 is in the direction of said gripping end, ie in the stop direction, in a thinner neck region 23, which passes through a relative to said cylinder portion diameter-reduced bore 24 which is formed in the stopper pin 3 passes.
  • a stopper body 17 at.
  • the radial projection of the stopper body 17 over the neck region 23 forms a stop shoulder 19 with which the stopper body head rests on the bore 24 having formed in the interior of the stop pin 3 counter-stop.
  • stopper body 17 acts as a compression spring formed spring member 18, the stop body 16 in the uninfluenced state by means of the stopper body head 17 against said counter-stop 20 presses and thus defines the furthest in the direction opposite to the gripping end moved position of the stopper body 16.
  • the spring member 18 is supported on the stopper pin 3 itself, namely in the embodiment by means of a gripping end of the stopper pin 3 forming gripping member 21.
  • the gripping member 21 is formed like a plug, although it is also a metal part.
  • a collar 25 By means of a collar 25 it sits on an end face of said cylindrical body, which forms the stop pin 3, on. It is radially over easily.
  • the gripping part 21 engages in said cylindrical body forming the abutment pin 3.
