Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for separating and conveying cable sleeves to an assembly tool for mounting the separated cable sleeves on the cable, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • cable grommets In the manufacture of cables or cable harnesses, cable grommets often have to be attached to the same.
  • the cable grommets are assembled using an assembly tool known per se on a system known per se.
  • both cables and cable grommets are constantly being conveyed to the assembly point or to the assembly tool.
  • a bulk container is usually filled with the cable grommets to be processed, from which the cable grommets loosely received in the bulk container are removed during manufacture.
  • separating devices are known from the prior art, which remove the cable grommets from the bulk container and feed them to the assembly tool in an orderly manner, i.e. sequentially, for mounting the cable grommets on the cable.
  • the EP 1 689 049 B1 a device for fitting grommets to electrical cables consisting of a base module for carrying a grommet module and a fitting module, the grommet module providing the grommets to be fitted to the fitting module in the correct position and the fitting module fitting the cables with the grommets.
  • the nozzle module which consists of the nozzle storage device and the conveyor device, can be attached to the base module in a pluggable manner.
  • the drum conveyor used is comparatively voluminous, in particular if a long production time is to be ensured without refilling the spout store, and the machine for loading spouts therefore requires a relatively large footprint.
  • the DE 19901439 C1 discloses a sorting magazine for storing loose small parts, with a trough-shaped storage container having a front wall and a magazine base plate, which has a filling opening for the small parts and an inclined bottom wall has subsequent opening in the base plate.
  • a trough-shaped storage container having a front wall and a magazine base plate, which has a filling opening for the small parts and an inclined bottom wall has subsequent opening in the base plate.
  • the magazine base plate has a plate cutout which encompasses the opening and which is formed into a unit with the walls delimiting the storage container.
  • the opening in the magazine base plate extends over the entire height and essentially over the entire width of the storage container and only has an inwardly protruding tab as a bearing for the axis of rotation of the running part.
  • CA 2254017 A1 discloses a system for aligning test tubes which are present in a disordered manner in a storage container which has a slot-shaped opening running over the entire height of the container.
  • a partition is used to separate two volumes in the bulk container.
  • a stirrer disk is provided to, if necessary - ie only if the test tubes have caused a blockage - to stimulate or bring about the transport of the tubes between the two volumes through an opening connecting these two volumes.
  • the WO2011 / 158145 A1 discloses a device for applying cable grommets to a cable, which has a bulk container for receiving a plurality of loose cable grommets, a conveying device for separating the cable grommets located in the bulk container and for conveying the isolated cable grommets to an assembly point and an assembly device for mounting the conveyed cable grommets on the Includes cable.
  • the conveying device comprises an endless, ring-shaped conveying means protruding into the bulk container, as well as receiving means for receiving the cable grommets.
  • the receiving means are arranged on the conveying means on the inside of said ring.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved device for applying cable grommets to a cable, in particular a compact unit, which nevertheless allows the longest possible operating time without refilling.
  • the refilling itself should be as simple and quick as possible, even for inexperienced operators.
  • the device comprises a bulk container for receiving a plurality of loose cable sleeves and a conveying device for conveying the loose cable sleeves located in the bulk container to a separation and transport device.
  • this device is characterized in that a partition is arranged in the transition area from the bulk container to the conveying device and a passage opening with a narrowed cross section is provided in the partition below the maximum possible filling height of the cable sleeves. This avoids clogging or overloading of the conveying device, even when the bulk container is heavily filled, and ensures a long, trouble-free production time.
  • the separation is preferably transparent.
  • the passage opening is just above the bottom or the deepest section of the bulk container.
  • the lower edge of the passage opening is preferably at the bottom of the bulk container in order to enable the bulk container to be completely emptied during production.
  • the bulk container preferably forms a structural unit with at least the conveying device, preferably additionally with the separating and transporting device.
  • the bulk container is designed as a separate component that can be coupled to the conveying device.
  • pre-filled bulk containers can be kept ready and empty containers can be exchanged for pre-filled containers quickly and easily.
  • the passage opening is designed to be closable.
  • the cross-sectional constriction according to the invention is preferably combined with a conveying device which comprises an endless, ring-shaped conveying means protruding into the bulk container and receiving means for receiving the cable grommets, the receiving means being arranged on the conveying means on the inside of said ring.
  • a conveying device which comprises an endless, ring-shaped conveying means protruding into the bulk container and receiving means for receiving the cable grommets, the receiving means being arranged on the conveying means on the inside of said ring.
  • a conveying device which comprises an endless, ring-shaped conveying means protruding into the bulk container and receiving means for receiving the cable grommets, the receiving means being arranged on the conveying means on the inside of said ring.
  • Such a conveyor is for example from the WO2011 / 158145 known, and allows a smaller size with low noise and energy consumption.
  • roller around which the conveyor is guided is arranged on the inside of the ring formed by the conveyor. In this way, a frictional force when the conveying means is moving can advantageously be kept low.
  • the named roller can be provided as a counter-roller of a drive roller pressing from the outside on the conveying means, so that the driving force can be transmitted well to the conveying means.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first, simple embodiment of a device 1 according to the invention for applying cable grommets (not shown) to a cable (not shown).
  • the device 1 comprises a bulk container for receiving a plurality of loose cable grommets and a conveying device 3 for conveying the cable grommets, which are preferably located in the bulk container 2, to a subsequent separating and transporting device 9.
  • the cable sleeves could alternatively also be brought into the area by means of additional conveying devices (not shown, for example conveyor belts, screw conveyors, etc.) the conveyor 3 are brought.
  • additional conveying devices not shown, for example conveyor belts, screw conveyors, etc.
  • the conveyor 3 are brought.
  • the hopper 2, as in Fig. 2 is also recognizable, are omitted.
  • a cross-sectional constriction 5 is provided in the transition area 4 to the conveyor 3.
  • This cross-sectional constriction 5 can be adapted to optimize its effect on the size and geometry of the respective cable grommets fed to the conveying device 3 or received in the bulk container 2.
  • the cross-sectional constriction 5 is designed as a passage opening for the cable sleeves in the area of the conveyor 3. So that the view into the transition area 4 and the sorting area at the beginning of the separating and transport device 9 is ensured, the partition 6 or partition between the bulk container 2 and the conveying device 3 is preferably made transparent. If necessary, the entire bulk container 2 can also be made transparent in order to be able to check its fill level and / or the type of cable grommets contained therein.
  • the cross-sectional constriction 5 or passage opening is below the maximum possible filling height of the cable grommets in the bulk container 2 in order to avoid clogging or overloading of the conveyor 3 even when the bulk container 2 is still high.
  • the cross-sectional constriction 5 or passage opening lies below flush with the bottom or the deepest section of the bulk container 2.
  • the bulk container 2 forms a structural unit with at least the conveying device 3, preferably with the entire device 1. This serves also the process reliability, since no bulk container 2 loaded with wrong cable sleeves can be connected.
  • an empty container can be exchanged for a pre-filled container in a simple and quick manner, in order to keep production interruptions as short as possible and at the same time to reduce the amount of work and time required for manual filling.
  • the cross-sectional constriction or passage opening 5 in the partition 6 or partition wall is designed to be closable.
  • a processing system for which the device 1 according to the invention, as well as a nozzle assembly device connected downstream of the device 1, each represents a subcomponent, is usually covered with a hood.
  • the device 1 itself typically has a cover (not shown) that extends over the bulk container 2 and also the conveyor device 3, which then also preferably has an opening for refilling the cable grommets.
  • This cover prevents the nozzles from being blown out of the bulk container, for example when processing small cable grommets, in which compressed air is typically used. Since the hood of the processing plant has to be opened during refilling and this has to be stopped, the refilling time and the refilling interval, which becomes shorter with the size of the cable grommets, reduce the production output.
  • a pipe is advantageously provided which is directed through the hood of the processing plant and also through the opening of the cover of the device 1 into the bulk container 2. This means that it can be refilled via this pipe without stopping the processing plant and thus without interrupting production.
  • FIG. 1 Preferred is the cross-sectional constriction 5 according to the invention or that in connection with Fig. 2
  • a conveying device 3 which comprises an endless, annular conveying means 7 with receiving means 8 provided thereon for receiving the cable grommets.
  • This conveying means 7 protrudes into the area of the bulk container 2 filled with cable sleeves.
  • the approximately shovel-shaped receiving means 8 are typically arranged on the inside of the conveyor 7, as in FIG WO2011 / 158145 is described, the entire content and features of which hereby form an integral part of the present application by reference.
  • At least one roller is arranged on the inside of the ring formed by the conveyor 7, around which the conveyor 7 is guided, which can act, for example, as a counter-roller of a drive roller that presses the conveyor 7 from the outside.
  • a horizontal or inclined section of the separating and transport device 9 protruding into the interior of the said ring of the conveyor 7 is provided, for example a slide or conveyor rail slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal.
  • the cable grommets fall in the area of the top dead center of the conveyor 7 from the receiving means 8 onto the section of the device 9 and are transported by this in sorted and separated form to the assembly point of the grommet assembly device.
