Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the automatic production of coaxial cables.
  • the invention is also extended to the device used in the implementation of this process.
  • the field of the invention relates to systems used for assembling formation components of coaxial cables.
  • the coaxial cables to which the invention relates are a conductor (inner) contained inside an insulating sheath.
  • a terminal (outer) having a substantially cylindrical form is stapled onto the end of the conductor which protrudes from the insulator, in which the above-mentioned conductor is housed.
  • these components In order to assemble the terminal to the conductor, these components must therefore be centered with respect to each other in order to keep them in a coaxial position during the insertion of the conductor in the terminal.
  • An objective of the invention is therefore to automate the assembly of coaxial cables, ensuring a perfect coaxiality between its components and improving the process yield.
  • the process and device of the invention allow the assembly of the terminal onto the conductor to be automated, ensuring a perfect centering between these components and considerably increasing the yield of the production process.
  • the coaxial cable to which the invention refers is indicated as a whole with 1 in figure 1 .
  • the coaxial cable 1 is composed of a conductor or inner 2, housed inside a terminal or outer 3.
  • the cable 1 also comprises an external insulating coating 4 which, in correspondence with the protruding or free portion of the conductor 2, has a sleeve 5.
  • the terminal 3 has a portion 6 having a substantially cylindrical shape, with a hole 7 inside which the conductor 2 is housed.
  • Flaps 8 are also envisaged, whose function is to staple the terminal 3 onto the cable 1 at the height of both its sleeve 5 and also the insulator 4.
  • the terminals 3 to be stapled are initially supported by a respective strip 9.
  • the conductor 2 has, at its free end, a hole 10 to be engaged with the pointed end 13 of the guide needle 12.
  • the same end of the conductor 2 has, on the other hand, a pointed conformation 11, suitable for being engaged inside a cavity 28 situated on the end of the guide needle 12.
  • the process of the invention initially comprises the alignment between the conductor 2, the cylindrical portion 6 of the terminal 3 and said guide and centering needle 12.
  • this needle 12 has a tip 13 positioned coaxially with respect to both the hole 7 of the terminal 3, and the hole 10 present on the free end of the conductor 2 ( figures 2 and 6 ).
  • the process of the invention envisages the blockage of the terminal 3 by means of a presser 14 which acts on its portion 6, and subsequently the detachment of the strip 9 ( figure 7 ).
  • the terminal 3 is translated onto the body of the needle 12 (arrow F1 of figure 8 ), by inserting the needle 12 inside the hole 7 of the terminal 3, until it causes the point 13 of the needle 12 to exit from the terminal 3.
  • the cable 1 is moved forward in the direction of the needle 12 (arrow F2 of figure 9 ), until its tip 13 is engaged in the hole 10 of the terminal 2.
  • a correct relative centering is obtained between the conductor 2 and the hole 7 of the terminal 3 ( figure 9 ).
  • the terminal 3 is moved forward towards the conductor 2 (arrow F3 of figure 10 ), until the same conductor 2 has been inserted inside the hole 7 of the terminal 3.
  • the needle 12 is then moved away from the conductor 2 (arrow F4 of figure 11 ) and the flaps 8 are stapled onto the cable 1.
  • the device illustrated in figures 12 and 13 has a conveyor 15 which transfers the terminals 3 towards a station equipped with a blade 16 for cutting the strip 9, with the terminal 3 held in position by means of a presser 14 which cooperates with a respective support 29 ( figure 14 ).
  • a presser 14 which cooperates with a respective support 29 ( figure 14 ).
  • the cable 1 with the conductor 2 and, on the side of the cylindrical portion 6 of the terminal 3, the tip 13 of the needle 12 are present in an aligned position with the terminal 3, from which the strip 9 has been sheared by means of the cutting station 16.
  • a movement cylinder 17 of the needle 12 is also envisaged, the needle being guided in its run by means of bushes 18, 19.
  • the terminal 3 is moved from its initial position towards the needle 12 (arrow F1), by means of a corresponding movement cylinder 20.
  • the device of figure 15 also comprises a funnel opening 21 which, when operating, is moved by a cylinder 22 in the direction of the arrow F5, until it comes into alignment with the needle 12.
  • the above-mentioned position of the funnel 21 allows the conductor 2 of the cable 1 to be centered on the tip 13 of the needle 12.
  • the funnel 21 comprises two jaws 24 activated by a cylinder 23 and which, when operating, are clasped on the tip 13 of the needle 12, thus holding it in a centered position on the conductor 2.
  • the cable 1 is therefore also inserted in the funnel 21, until the tip 13 of the needle 12 is engaged in the hole 10 of the conductor 2.
  • a sensor 25 reveals the above-mentioned position between the needle 12 and conductor 2, subsequently allowing the cable 1 to be blocked in position by means of grippers 26 ( figures 9 and 16 ).
  • the terminal 3 is brought from this position onto the conductor 2 by means of the above-mentioned cylinder 20, where the knife group 27 effects the stapling of the flaps 8 of the terminal 3 on the body of the cable 1 ( figure 16 ).
  • the gripper 26 is opened to release the cable 1 and the presser 14 is opened to release the terminal 3.
  • the conveyor 15 then commands the advancing of the new terminal 3 towards the cutting station 16, to initiate the subsequent cycle.
  • the device of the invention obviously comprises means for activating the blade of the cutting station 16 and the funnel 21 with movements contrary to those described above and necessary for freeing the respective movement positions of the terminals.
