Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a crimp connection between a coaxial cable, which coaxial with each other has an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric disposed between outer conductor and inner conductor and a dielectric surrounding the outer conductor protective jacket of an electrically insulating material, and a coaxial connector, which The invention further relates to a crimping tool for carrying out the method, wherein the crimping tool has an anvil for receiving the outer conductor part to be crimped and a punch for applying the crimping force, according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • Such crimp connections in which two components are connected to one another by plastic deformation, represent a proven mechanical connection technology and are widely known.
  • the cross-section of such known crimp connections is a so-called hexagonal crimp, in which a support sleeve has a hexagonal cross-section and is pressed onto the inner conductor or an interposed braided shield or outer conductor, i. is crimped.
  • a punctual connection between the support sleeve and the outer conductor part is formed in each case.
  • about 60% of shield strands of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable remain loose, so that both the positive connection and the frictional connection of such a compound is only partially usable.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a method of o.g. Kind to eliminate the disadvantages described in such a way that both the positive engagement and the frictional connection of such a compound are significantly improved and thereby it is also possible for the crimping sleeve or serving as a crimp outer conductor part other materials than previously possible to use.
  • a crimping tool suitable for producing such a crimp connection.
  • a predetermined portion of the freed from the protective sheath outer conductor is folded over the support sleeve, so that this portion of the outer conductor is at least partially disposed radially on the outside of the support sleeve ,
  • the outer conductor part is arranged such that it surrounds the support sleeve with the outer outer conductor at least partially radially from the outside, wherein a radial force is exerted externally on the outer conductor part over at least part of the circumference of the outer conductor part in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction seen that one Cold welding between the support sleeve, the outer conductor part and the outer conductor takes place.
  • the outer conductor part itself serves as a crimp barrel and a non-positive and positive connection is achieved in the circumferential direction over the entire circumference and not only at discrete locations.
  • the crimp connection is substantially circular in cross-section.
  • a particularly strong crimp connection is achieved in that at the outer conductor part at the height of a closing gap of a crimping tool due to the displaced material at least one accumulation of material is formed, which rises radially outward.
  • a reinforced positive connection between the support sleeve and the outer conductor part and with the outer conductor arranged therebetween is achieved in that on the outer conductor part at the height of a closing gap of a crimping tool due to the displaced material at least one accumulation of material is formed, which rises radially inwardly.
  • the anvil and punch each have a part-cylindrical recess whose diameter d 2 corresponds substantially to the diameter of the outer conductor part to be crimped or is slightly smaller.
  • a particularly secure reception of the outer conductor part in the crimping tool is achieved in that the partially cylindrical recess of the punch stretches over an inner angle of about 180 ° and in two parallel legs opens, the inner distance d 1 corresponds to the diameter d 2 of the punch recess.
  • a complete installation of the crimping tool in the radial direction on an outer surface of the outer conductor part to be crimped is achieved in that the partially cylindrical recess of the anvil extends over an inner angle of less than 180 ° and terminates in two leg tips which, together with inner surfaces of the punch legs, form a closing gap of the Training crimping tool.
  • the crimp connection created in accordance with the invention is based on the essential idea that the outer conductor part serving as a crimp sleeve is crimped in a largely annular manner onto the support sleeve or an interposed braided shield and thereby forms both a positive and non-positive crimp connection.
  • Another advantage of such a design is that now for the crimped connection, i. for the crimp barrel or outer conductor part, materials other than hitherto, i. For example, brass, can be used because no longer as before, due to the limited bonding forces as a material only copper can be used.
  • the illustrated crimp connection is provided on a coaxial connector.
  • This has an inner conductor 1, which is usually surrounded by an inner insulation 2 and an outer conductor 3.
  • This arrangement is surrounded by a support sleeve 4, on the outer surface of which formed as a braided shield outer conductor 3 is folded.
  • This braided screen 3 is crimped onto the support sleeve 4 by means of the crimp connection.
  • an outer conductor part 5 of the otherwise not shown coaxial connector which surrounds the support sleeve 4 and the folded screen braid 3, compressed by a corresponding crimping tool radially such that there is a plastic transverse deformation, in such a way that serving as a crimp sleeve Outer conductor part 5 is largely crimped annularly on the support sleeve 4 and arranged therebetween screen braid 3.
  • Fig. 1 clearly visible, small material accumulations 6 are formed on both sides of the crimped outer conductor part 5 at the height of a closing gap of the crimping tool due to the annularly displaced material. These protrude both radially outwardly and inwardly, thereby forming a reinforced positive connection with the support sleeve 4 or with the braided screen 3 arranged therebetween.
  • the provided for the preparation of the described crimped crimp according to 3 and 4 has an anvil 7 for receiving the crimping outer conductor part 5 and a punch 8 for applying the crimping force.
  • both the anvil 7 and the punch 8 each have a part-circular or partially cylindrical recess 9 and 10, whose diameter d 2 corresponds to the diameter of the outer conductor part 5 to be crimped or is slightly smaller.
  • the partially cylindrical recess 10 of the punch 8 extends over an inner angle of approximately 180 ° and terminates in two parallel legs 11 whose inner spacing d 1 corresponds to the diameter d 2 of the punch recess 10.
  • the partially cylindrical recess 9 of the anvil 7 extends only over an internal angle of less than 180 °.
  • this Anvil recess 9 runs in two leg tips 12, the outer surfaces 13, starting from a the inner distance d 1 of the plunger legs 11 corresponding distance, have an increasing distance and together with the inner surfaces of the die surfaces 11 form the closing gap of the crimping tool.
  • the arrangement to be crimped in the part-circular recess 9 of the anvil 7 is inserted, whereupon the punch 8 is pressed from above with its part-circular recess 10 down, and that until the leg tips 12 of the anvil 7 between the Inner surfaces of the punch leg 11 penetrate and come there with its obliquely outwardly extending outer surfaces 13 clamped to a stop.
  • the closing gap of the crimping tool is formed, which also at this point the radially outwardly and inwardly projecting material accumulations 6 of the annularly deformed outer conductor part 5 form.
  • hollow cylindrical refers to a body having a circular outer surface and inner surface in cross section.
  • a hollow cylinder is meant which is rotationally symmetrical about its longitudinal central axis.
