Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable assembly device for cutting and stripping a cable and for assembling the cable with crimp contacts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • “Crimping” means the production of a non-releasable electrical and mechanical connection (crimp connection) by plastic deformation between a conductor and a crimp contact.
  • Cable assembling devices for assembling electrical cables in which the cables are cut to length, stripped and then a crimp contact is brought onto the stripped conductor end of the cable in a crimping press station, have long been known and used.
  • the EP 1 447 888 A1 shows, for example, a cable assembly device with a cutting and stripping unit and two stations with crimping presses. The device also has a cable feed designed as a belt drive for moving the cable along a longitudinal axis.
  • the cutting and stripping unit is arranged on the longitudinal axis.
  • the cable since the two crimping press stations are located next to the longitudinal axis, the cable must be guided to the respective crimping presses using swivel arms provided with grippers.
  • the leading cable end and with the second crimp press the trailing cable end are fitted with crimp contacts.
  • the cable assembly device should be characterized by a high degree of flexibility with regard to varying cables and crimp connections.
  • a cutting and stripping unit has at least one knife for cutting to length to cut the cable.
  • a cut-to-length cable piece and a remaining cable shortened around the cable piece are produced.
  • a rear end of the severed cable (cut-off cable piece) and finally a front end of the cable (remaining cable) can be stripped.
  • the order of the two stripping steps can also be reversed (ie first the remaining cable, then the cut piece of cable).
  • the cutting and stripping unit can preferably have at least one cutting knife for cutting the cable.
  • the cutting and stripping unit further has at least a first stripping knife for stripping a rear end of the cable cut through by the separating knife (s) and at least a second stripping knife for stripping a front end of the cable (remaining cable).
  • the arrangement with the several knives has the advantage that the two cable ends can be cut at the same time - as the first step of the essentially two-stage stripping process, which also includes removing the insulation.
  • the cable assembly device then comprises a crimping press with a first crimping tool for connecting the rear or trailing end of the stripped, stripped cable piece to a first crimp contact and a second crimping tool for connecting the front end of the stripped remaining cable to a second crimp contact.
  • the crimping tools can each be constructed in two parts, one part being designed to be movable or movable and containing a one-part or multi-part crimping die and the other part preferably being stationary and containing the counterpart to the crimping die (anvil).
  • the movable part of the respective crimping tool is referred to below as the upper tool; the preferably stationary part of the respective crimping tool is referred to below as the lower tool.
  • the mentioned cutting and stripping unit and the two crimping tools of the crimping press form the three essential assembly components of the cable assembly device.
  • the cable assembly device has a lifting element that can be moved translationally and preferably in the vertical direction by means of a drive unit, and that at least two of the three assembly components can be operated via the lifting element, creates an inexpensive cable assembly device that is simple in construction and can be used flexibly.
  • all essential processing steps that have to be carried out on the cable in the vertical direction can be carried out simply by moving the lifting element.
  • the operative connection between the lifting element and the cutting and stripping unit advantageously only affects the cutting processes for cutting and stripping.
  • the removal process in which the cut insulation is removed from the cable, can be carried out, for example, in a manner known per se by means of horizontally movable grippers.
  • a compact device By using such a lifting element for the cutting operations for cutting and stripping and for crimping, a compact device can also be created which is characterized by a small space requirement.
  • Different drive solutions are conceivable for moving the lifting element.
  • the lifting element In addition to a motor-driven eccentric shaft, the lifting element could also be moved, for example, with a spindle drive or a toggle mechanism.
  • the cable assembly device is preferably designed such that the cutting and stripping unit and the first crimping tool and the second crimping tool of the crimping press can be operated via the lifting element. If all three assembly components can be operated via the vertically movable lifting element, the cable assembly device can be operated particularly efficiently.
  • the crimping press can have a lowering device for positioning the cable during crimping, the lowering device also being movable by means of the lifting element (for example by fastening the lowering device to the lifting element).
  • the first crimping tool and the second crimping tool can each have movable upper tools, preferably equipped with crimping dies, the upper tools being attached or being attachable to the lifting element.
  • the crimping die can be constructed in two parts in a known manner for producing the insulation and wire crimp.
  • the cable assembly device can preferably have lower tools equipped with anvils, which are immovably mounted in the cable assembly device, at least for the assembly process.
  • the lower tools could be connected to the upper tools via a gear such that they can be moved in opposite directions in the vertical direction. This variant would have the advantage that the cables would not have to be lowered when crimping to position the stripped cable ends.
  • the lifting element has two lateral tool receptacles, into which the upper tools can preferably be inserted or inserted from opposite sides.
  • the direction of insertion for inserting the upper tools is therefore transverse (ie horizontal) to the lifting direction of the lifting element.
  • the simple assembly and disassembly of the upper tools can reduce downtimes when changing to other cables or crimp contacts.
  • the cable assembly device can furthermore have lower tools which can be inserted or used in a similar manner in corresponding receptacles.
  • the lifting element can be formed particularly advantageously by a carriage, the carriage being slidably mounted on a machine housing of the cable assembly device by means of a guide arrangement.
  • Such slide constructions can be moved in a particularly simple translatory manner.
  • the cable assembly device can be designed as a linear machine. If the cable can be transported along a longitudinal axis through the cable assembly device, it can be advantageous if the cutting and stripping unit as well as the first crimping tool and the second crimping tool of the crimping press are arranged one behind the other on the longitudinal axis “in a line”.
  • the cutting and stripping unit can be arranged in relation to the conveying direction or longitudinal axis between the first and second crimping tools.
  • the cable assembly device can have a motor-driven eccentric shaft with which the lifting element can be moved back and forth between an initial position and a crimp position.
  • the lifting element can have a bearing opening in which an end face of the eccentric shaft is received.
  • the various operating positions of the cable assembly device can be controlled particularly simply and precisely via the eccentric shaft.
  • the cable assembly device can have a servomotor which is connected to the eccentric shaft directly or via a gear.
  • the cutting and stripping unit can have upper and lower stripping knives opposite one another for severing the cable and upper and lower stripping knives opposite one another and upper and lower stripping knives opposite one another for stripping the cables, the respective upper and lower separating knives or stripping knives being movable in opposite directions to one another . With the respective paired arrangement of the knives, the cutting operations can be carried out in an efficient manner.
  • An upper knife unit having the upper separating knife, the upper first stripping knife and the upper second stripping knife can preferably be rigidly connected to the lifting element.
  • This rigid connection can be created, for example, by a screw connection.
  • a lower knife unit having the lower separating knife, the lower first stripping knife and the lower second stripping knife can be connected to the lifting element in such a way that the lower knife unit is raised or moved in the opposite direction when the upper knife unit is lowered.
  • toothed racks can be assigned to the upper knife unit and the lower knife unit, for example, which are connected to one another via a pinion.
  • Cutting and stripping can be further improved if the at least one separating knife, the at least one first stripping knife and the at least one second stripping knife each have V-shaped cutting edges.
  • the cable assembly device has a pull-out gripper that can be moved along a longitudinal axis for transporting the input-side cable to a cut-to-length position.
  • a pull-out gripper instead of a pull-out gripper, other means of funding, such as a belt drive, are also conceivable.
  • the cable assembly device can have two pull-off grippers for stripping, with which the non-stripped parts of the rear or front ends of the cables (in other words, those parts of the cables where the insulation is to remain) can be gripped and moved.
  • the trigger grippers can be moved along the longitudinal axis. Separate drives or, if need be, even a common drive can be used to move the trigger grippers.
  • a first pull-off gripper assigned to the rear end of the cut-off cable piece and a pull-off gripper assigned to the front end of the remaining cable can form a pull-off unit which is attached to a machine housing of the cable assembly device or to another stationary component of the cable assembly device.
  • Two lowerers for vertical positioning of the cable ends in the crimping press are arranged on the lever element, wherein the puller grippers which grip the stripped cable and which move the lever element can be moved between a starting position and a crimping position when the lever element is moved.
  • the lowerers as positioning units, which include, for example, vertical plungers, the respective trigger grippers can be moved between a starting position and a crimping position when the lifting element is moved during the crimping process.
  • the countersink can cause the desired movement of the gripper, for example, by bumping or other action on the cable grips temporarily holding the gripper.
  • the trigger grippers are movably mounted in the trigger unit in the vertical direction.
  • the pull-off unit can have a cable guide, preferably assigned to the second pull-off gripper, for the insertion of a cable on the input side.
  • the invention could also be directed to a method for operating the crimping station described above.

The stripping process is then ended by pulling off the cut insulation from the cable ends. This is carried out using the trigger grippers 11, 12.
  • the eccentric shaft In this position, the eccentric shaft is in or at least in the vicinity of the bottom dead center position of the eccentric shaft.
  • the cable ends are moved into the correct vertical position, which is done with the help of the countersink (not shown here).
  • the lifting element 6 moves back into the starting position ( Fig. 13 ).
  • the trigger grippers 11, 12 are guided vertically back into the starting position by spring action.
  • the Figures 14 and 15 show greatly enlarged sections of the cable assembly device according to the Figures 9 and 10th .
  • the cutting and stripping unit 2 has opposite upper and lower separating knives 27 and 28 for severing the cable 7.
  • the opposite upper and lower first stripping knives 29, 30 are provided for stripping the cable piece 7 'cut to length by means of the separating knife ( Fig. 15 ).
  • the opposing upper and lower second stripping knives 31, 32 are assigned to the remaining cable 7. How out Figure 14 shows, the stripping knives 29, 30 and 31, 32 do not touch the cables after the severing process. After the deflected cable parts have been moved away from each other to the desired stripping length, the cable insulation can be cut with the stripping knives.
  • the knife units 25 and 26 are moved in opposite directions in the s 1 or s 2 direction to the stripping position. This movement can be carried out precisely with the help of the eccentric shaft, so that it is ensured that the stripping knives do not touch the conductor of the cable.
  • the trailing cable could first be crimped by first moving the leading length of the cable back by means of the pull-off gripper so that the end of the trailing cable lies outside the effective range of the crimping tool.
  • the finished cable piece with the rear end equipped with the crimp contact could then be put down.
  • the not yet crimped, leading cable end could be finished.
  • the two contact feed units would have to be programmed in such a way that the crimp contacts would only be inserted immediately before crimping, since one crimping tool would have to carry out an idle stroke.
  • Figure 16 shows an arrangement with a cable assembly device 1, which has other conveying means for feeding the cable 7 to the cable assembly device.
  • the present arrangement has a belt drive 59.
  • the maximum possible cable length would no longer be restricted by the path of the pull-out gripper. If the tape drive is placed close to the drive unit, even a pull gripper could be omitted because the pull movement for the front cable end of the remaining cable from the tape drive could be executed.
  • a cable assembly device has been described in which a cable is fed and processed. Basically, it would also be conceivable to process several cables simultaneously or in parallel with a similar, only slightly modified cable assembly device.
  • the crimping tools could be designed such that, for example, two or more crimp contacts are crimped with one stroke. In this case, the cutting and stripping unit would have a corresponding number of knives.
