Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crimping tool according to claim 1.
  • crimping tools are known in the prior art which automatically make a crimp or press fit between a crimping element and a stripped conductor or an insulation of a conductor by means of a crimping press.
  • the crimping element is struck in a defined manner, ie with a predetermined crimping stroke.
  • crimping tools which perform a fixed stroke of the punch. Different conductor diameters may make it necessary to be able to set the stroke of the crimping press differently.
  • the setting can be made manually or via an operating unit such. B. in the EP 0 884 881 A1 described be performed.
  • a crimping tool that includes a punch and anvil for making a crimped connection between a crimping element and a conductor.
  • the punch is movably guided in a holder, wherein the punch is in operative connection with a contact element.
  • the abutment element is provided to receive a force from an actuator and to set the plunger in motion.
  • the punch is connected via a mechanically fixed connection with the contact element.
  • a cutting device is provided, which is resiliently mounted in the contact element.
  • a spring-mounted piston is provided, which can be brought into contact with the actuating device.
  • a crimping tool which has a punch and an anvil for producing a crimp connection between a crimping element and a conductor, wherein the punch is connected via a spring element with a contact element in operative connection.
  • the abutment element is provided to receive a force from an actuator and to set the plunger in motion.
  • a device for cutting and stripping an insulated wire.
  • the knife for stripping the wire is connected via a coil spring resiliently connected to an actuating device.
  • a stop is provided which limits the movement of the movable blade to a predetermined maximum deflection.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a crimping tool with an improved mode of operation, wherein in particular with a higher probability a correct or a precisely predetermined crimp height can be set.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the crimping tool according to claim 1.
  • the resilient element is preferably located either in the press ram or in the plunger.
  • the springy Element makes it possible, for example, to drive an eccentric press through a bottom dead center, although the ram already rests previously on the stop.
  • the spring force is preferably greater than the required crimping force.
  • a crimping tool is fixed to a crimp height. That after a tool change no further adjustments to the crimping press must be made. This reduces the work preparation.
  • a stop is provided which limits a maximum deflection of the punch in the direction of the anvil. In this way it is ensured that damage to the crimping element or the electrical conductor is avoided by a too large stroke of the punch.
  • the combination of the resilient mounting of the punch and the stop it is possible to achieve a defined movement of the punch in the manufacture of the crimped connection
  • an actuating device which moves the punch via the contact element, wherein a stroke of the actuating device is formed in such a way that the punch is moved during the actuation of the contact element in abutment with the stop.
  • the stroke of the actuator is formed larger than the stroke of the punch to the stop.
  • the spring element is designed in the form of a plate spring.
  • Disc springs are particularly suitable for the required resilient mounting of the punch and / or the anvil.
  • the abutment element has a guide element which is movably guided in a bore of the stamp.
  • the spring element is arranged between a contact surface of the punch and a contact surface of the guide element.
  • the punch has a collar which serves to bear the spring element.
  • the spring element is arranged between an end face of the guide element and a contact surface of the punch. In this way, a storage of the spring element is possible, in which the field element is protected against environmental influences. In particular, a contamination or impairment of the operation of the resilient mounting is avoided by foreign parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a crimping tool 1, which essentially comprises a holder 2, a punch 3, an anvil 4 and an actuating device 5 for moving the punch 3.
  • the anvil 4 is attached to a support plate 6 of the holder 2.
  • the punch 3 is mounted above the anvil 4 in a guide 7 of the holder 2 in an axial direction along a movement axis 8 movable in the guide 7.
  • the punch 3 is moved up and down axially along a movement axis 8 by the actuation device 5, wherein the actuation device 5 may be designed, for example, as an eccentric press.
  • the actuator 5 is also attached to the bracket 2.
  • the electrical conductor with the crimping element is placed on the anvil 4. Subsequently, the punch 3 is moved by the actuating device 5 in the direction of the anvil 4.
  • the anvil 4 and / or the punch 3 have forming surfaces, which are used to form da crimping element in such a way that a mechanical and / or electrically conductive connection between the electrical conductor and the crimping element by the compression of the punch 3 on the Anvil 4 is achieved.
  • the electrical conductor may be formed, for example, as a wire, as a wire bundle, as a pin or electrical line with or without an insulating sheath.
  • the punch 3 in the upper end region on a bore 9, in which a guide element 10 of a contact element 11 is inserted.
  • the contact element 11 has a collar in an upper section, which is detected by a lower portion of the actuator 5.
  • the contact element 11 has an actuating surface 12 on the collar, which is in operative connection with the actuating device 5.
  • the contact element 11 has a collar 13, which is arranged above a contact surface 14 in the upper end region of the punch 3.
  • the collar 13 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a closed-end sleeve.
  • the spring element 15 is arranged between a bottom surface of the sleeve and the contact surface 14, a spring element 15 is arranged.
  • the spring element 15 may be formed, for example in the form of a plate spring or a rubber ring.
  • the spring element may be designed in the form of a plurality of disk springs or rubber rings arranged in the package.
  • the plate spring may have a central opening through which a guide element of the contact element 11 is guided, as in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the punch 3 above the guide 7 on an outwardly projecting collar 16 which projects beyond a guide opening 21 of the guide 7 for the punch 3 laterally.
  • the punch 3 is moved downwardly by the actuator 5 via the introduction of a force on the abutment element 11 in the direction of the anvil 4. Since the contact element 11 is resiliently in operative connection with the punch 3, the force exerted by the actuating device 5 is transmitted to the punch 3 in a damped manner. This is especially the case when the punch 3 impinges on the crimping element 17 and the crimping element 17 is struck on the electrical conductor according to a desired shape. In this case, the crimping element 17 is deformed and fastened by means of a crimp and / or press connection to the electrical conductor.
  • a punch 3 is used with a stop element
  • a further improvement of the crimping process is achieved.
  • the stop element is represented by the collar 16, which is associated with a stop surface 18 on an upper side of the guide 7.
  • the distance between the collar 16 and the stop surface 18 is as a working stroke in Fig. 1 located.
  • Fig. 1 shows the crimping tool 1, wherein the punch 3 is in a rest position.
  • Fig. 1 it can be seen that there is a distance D1 between a sleeve-shaped edge region 19 of the collar 13 and an annular upper end surface 20 of the stamp 3.
  • the punch 3 is now moved toward the anvil 4 by means of the actuating device 5 when the crimping element 17 is hit, the punch 3 is moved downwards until the collar 16 rests on the associated abutment surface 18. Thus, the punch moves 3 to stop. Even at the stop of the punch 3 is still a distance between the anvil 4 and the punch 3 given, which allows a reliable crimping of the crimping element 17 on the electrical conductor.
  • the contact element 11 can also be moved further downwards in the direction of the anvil after reaching the stop.
  • the further movement of the contact element 11 leads to a compression of the spring element 15 without the punch 3 is moved closer to the anvil 4. This further movement is called overstroke.
  • the overstroke is smaller than the distance D1.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section of the upper end portion of the punch 3 in the position in which the punch 3 has moved to the stop and is thus in the maximum deflection position downwards in the direction of the anvil 4. If now the actuating device 5 is moved even further down, the contact element 11 is moved even further down and the spring element 15 is compressed, as in Fig. 3 is shown, wherein the punch 3 is not moved further.
  • the spring element 15 is formed in such a way that the spring element 15 receives the entire maximum deflection of the contact element 11 down in the direction of the anvil 4 after reaching the stop. This ensures that no impact of the collar 13 takes place on the end face of the punch 3.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of a partial section of another embodiment of the crimping tool 1, in which the anvil 4 is resiliently mounted in the support plate 6 of the holder 2 via a spring element 15.
  • a resilient mounting of the crimping element 17 is achieved during the crimping process from the side of the anvil 4.
  • the resilient mounting of the punch 3 and, for example, only the anvil 4 are resiliently mounted.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the crimping tool 1, in which the spring element 15 is integrated in a press ram 25 of the eccentric press.
  • the contact element 11 is arranged with a lower end region in a receiving space 22 of the punch 3. Due to the arrangement of the spring element 15 in the receiving space 22, the spring element 15 is protected against environmental influences. In addition, the structural design is simplified, so that a cost reduction is achieved.
  • the contact element 11 is formed in the form of a press ram.
