Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for the inner conductor to a stripped end of a jacket cable.
  • Electrical jacket cables have a bundle of internal conductors, wherein the inner conductor bundle is surrounded by an electrically insulating material, the so-called sheath.
  • the jacket forms an outer insulation layer.
  • Each of the inner conductors is formed of individual strands, each of which in turn is surrounded by an electrically insulating material, typically a plastic insulation as an inner insulating layer.
  • the strands are, for example, twisted strands of copper or aluminum.
  • Jacket cables are often processed automatically, for example in a stripping, a Nachschneidevorgang, a Crimpvorang and the like.
  • suitable separation processes are considered.
  • the inner conductors can be introduced in a defined manner in a fastening device which serves as a holder for the further processing of the inner conductor.
  • a holder for the inner conductor of a jacket cable is known.
  • the inner conductors are arranged and fixed parallel to each other on the conventional mounting or fastening device.
  • the inner conductors positioned further outside the holder after the singulation are larger Lengths as for the inner conductor positioned further inside the bracket.
  • this can lead to a loss of material for the further outer inner conductor, for example, if these inner conductor must be recut.
  • a fastening device for the inner conductors at a stripped end of a jacket cable comprises: a through hole having an entrance side and an exit side for passing the end of the jacket cable in an axial direction; and a plurality of holding means for holding a respective inner conductor, which are arranged on the exit side of the passage opening radially around the passage opening.
  • a jacket cable having a plurality of inner conductors runs along a cable axis in a main extension direction of the cable.
  • This cable axis defines the axial direction to which the cross-section of the jacket cable or of the bundle of internal conductors is defined perpendicularly.
  • the end of the jacket cable is a portion which forms an end portion of the jacket cable and which has a certain extent along the main extension direction. In this area, the jacket cable is typically rectilinear or substantially straight.
  • the end of the jacket cable is freed from the outer insulation (the jacket), d. H. stripped so that the majority of inner conductors are exposed, typically with their respective inner insulation surrounding the individual strands of the inner conductors.
  • the passage opening is formed for example in a plate or the like of the fastening device, typically in the form of an insertion slot for the end of the jacket cable.
  • the passage opening or the insertion slot can be provided with a suitable element for holding an inserted or conducted jacket cable.
  • the end of the jacket cable is preferably guided rectilinearly through the passage opening from an entry side, so that it exits again on the exit side and is accessible in part or in total from the exit side.
  • the passage opening extends straight through the plate of the fastening device.
  • the axial direction of an end of a jacket cable guided through the lead-through opening typically runs rectilinearly through the lead-through opening.
  • the passage opening extends at least on the outlet side substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, but it is also an oblique to the axial direction of the passage opening on the outlet side conceivable.
  • Each holding device of the plurality of holding devices serves in each case for holding an inner conductor, for example after a successful automated separation process.
  • the holding devices are arranged on the outlet side of the passage opening radially around the passage opening around, so that the inner conductor on the outlet side in the holding devices also in the radial direction - or radially - extend from the end of the jacket cable.
  • a radial arrangement of the holding devices has the advantage over the parallel arrangement according to the conventional fastening device that all inner conductors can have the same length. Moreover, it is sufficient if the stripped end of the jacket cable, ie the part on which the outer insulation is removed, is relatively short. In the conventional fastening device, the stripped end of the jacket cable is comparatively long.
  • the holding devices are arranged on the outlet side equidistant around the passage opening.
  • the holding devices are arranged on a circle on the fastening device.
  • the angular distances (the shortest angular distances) of two adjacent holding devices are then equal to each other for all holding devices or substantially equal in size.
  • the holding devices are arranged on a circular arc or circular segment on the fastening device, there are exactly two outer holding devices, between which the angular distance is greater than the other angular distances. These other angular distances are in an equidistant arrangement but still equal to each other or substantially equal.
  • the passage opening is formed substantially centrally in the fastening device.
  • the end of the jacket cable is centrally through the lead-through opening passed.
  • At least one holding device comprises a claw.
  • all holding devices each comprise a claw.
  • an inner conductor may be clamped under a claw and thus secured to the claw in a simple and effective manner.
  • a claw shape is advantageous in automated handling, in particular automated singulation, of inner conductors. If, in the course of an automated separation, an inner conductor is brought into the area in front of the claw, the fastening device need only be rotated in the corresponding direction in order to fix the inner conductor in the claw.
  • the jaw typically includes an axially extending abutment surface and a circumferential projection.
  • the contact surface and the projection form or define a receiving region for the inner conductor.
  • the claw is typically open in the circumferential direction on one side and closed on the other side, and the receiving area is formed together with a wall of a part of the fastening device.
  • the receiving region for the inner conductor has a tapering in the direction of the contact surface cross-section.
  • the geometry of the claw can thus be adapted to different cross sections or outer diameter of inner conductors, so that inner conductor can be reliably held with different outer diameters by means of the claw.
  • the cross section is curved, typically circular arc.
  • a curved or arcuate course can contribute to the fact that the geometry of the claw is adapted to the geometry of the inner conductor, so that the reliability of holding is improved.
  • At least one holding device comprises an axial clamping device.
  • all holding devices each comprise an axial clamping device.
  • An axial clamping device or each axial clamping device is adapted to hold an inserted inner conductor when loaded with a force in the axial direction by clamping.
  • the force in the axial direction counteracts the direction of insertion of the end of the jacket cable.
  • the axial clamping device designed, for example, claw-shaped is designed such that an inserted inner conductor is pressed or clamped into the axial clamping device for fastening or holding in the direction of the axis of the jacket cable.
  • At least one holding device comprises a gripping element.
  • all holding devices each comprise a gripping element.
  • a gripping element can be designed as a gripper with an active actuating element for actively opening the gripping element when the inner conductor is inserted.
  • a spring element serves as a return element for the subsequent closing of the gripping element.
  • the fastening device further comprises a positioning element for changing the radial orientation of the fastening device.
  • a positioning element is for example a square part or the like, which allows the radial orientation of the fastening device to be easily changed or rotated.
  • the fastening device is continuously rotatable, or it is rotatable in steps corresponding to the angular pitch or the angular spacing or the half angular pitch or the half angular distance of the holding devices.
  • Rotation here refers to a rotation about the axis or a rotation in the plane in which the outlet side of the passage opening is located.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective schematic view of a jacket cable 10 with a plurality of inner conductors for explaining embodiments of the invention. Unless the explanation is based on a distinction of the individual inner conductors in the bundle of inner conductors, an inner conductor is provided with the reference numeral 20.
  • the jacket cable 10 has a total of eight inner conductors 20; however, the invention is not limited to this number of internal conductors.
  • the jacket cable has an end 15 at which the outer insulation - the jacket - of the jacket cable 10 is removed and the inner conductors 20 are exposed.
  • Each inner conductor 20 is formed from a twisted strand bundle of aluminum strand or copper strand, which is surrounded by an inner conductor insulation.
  • the invention is not limited to inner conductor 20 with stranded wire, and it can also be used in other ways formed inner conductor 20 with the inventive fastening device.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a fastening device 50 for the inner conductor 20-1 to 20-8 at the stripped end 15 of the jacket cable 10 from Fig. 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the exemplary illustrated fastening device 50 is designed for a jacket cable 10 with eight inner conductors 20-1 ... 20-8 or for a jacket cable with up to eight inner conductors 20-1 ... 20-8.
  • the invention is not limited to this number of internal conductors, and it also includes fastening devices 50 designed for fewer or more than eight internal conductors 20.
  • a passage opening 60 is formed, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as an insertion slot.
  • the insertion slot is formed in the embodiment of a central circular opening in the plate 51, which is expanded in the radial direction, so that the plate 51 in cross section has approximately the shape of a large C.
  • a jacket cable is pushed along its axis, which defines the axial direction A, from an entry side 61 through the passage opening 60 or placed in the insertion slot such that it enters the passage opening 60 on the entry side 61. Accordingly, the stripped end 15 of the jacket cable 10 exits on the exit side 62 of the insertion opening.
  • the fastening device 50 has retaining devices 70, wherein a total of eight retaining devices 70-1... 70-8 are shown here again as a non-limiting example.
  • the inner conductors 20-1 ... 20-8 of the jacket cable 10 are respectively fastened or held in an associated holding device 70-1 ... 70-8.
  • FIG. 1 shows a state in which the inner conductors of a jacket cable 10 have already been singulated and are arranged on a respective associated or associated holding device 70-1... 70-8 of the fastening device 50.
  • the individual holding devices 70-1 ... 70-8 are formed in the illustrated embodiment as claws, which will be explained later.
  • Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the fastening device 50 from Fig. 2 looking at the exit side 62 of the passage opening 60.
  • the holding devices 70-1 ... 70-8 are arranged radially around the passage opening 60 around on a circular arc.
  • Adjacent retainers 70-1 ... 70-8, except for the pair of outer retainers 70-8 70-1, are each arranged at an equal angular distance D from each other.
  • the inner adjacent holding devices 70-1 ... 70-8 are arranged equidistantly.
  • the invention is not limited to the arrangement on a circular arc with respect to the radial arrangement of the holding devices 70-1 ... 70-8. Rather, the holding devices 70-1 ... 70-8 can also be offset in the radial direction R. An offset arrangement does not preclude an equidistant arrangement of the retainers 70-1 ... 70-8 as discussed herein.
  • Fig. 4 is formed as a claw 71 holding device 70 from the representations according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown.
  • Fig. 4 a schematic plan view of the claw 71 in a plane when viewed in the radial direction R.
  • the claw 71 has a contact surface 72 for the inner conductor 20, wherein the contact surface 72 extends substantially in the axial direction A.
  • a course in the axial direction denotes the main expansion direction of the contact surface 72 and does not exclude a curvature, as explained below, the contact surface 72.
  • the claw 71 has a projection 73.
  • the projection extends in the radial direction R.
  • a course in the radial direction denotes the main expansion direction of the projection 73 and does not exclude a curvature of the projection.
  • the abutment surface 72 and the protrusion 73 define a receiving region 75 for the inner conductor 20.
  • the projection 73 is shaped in such a way that the receiving region 75, starting from the open side, tapers towards the contact surface 72 in its cross section.
  • Exemplary is in Fig. 4 shown that the cross-section Q1 in the region of the open side is greater than the cross-section Q2 in the region of the contact surface 72.
  • the cross section runs in the example Fig. 4 curved.
  • the curvature can also have approximately a circular arc shape.
  • Varying outer diameters of the inner conductors 20 to be accommodated in the receiving region 75 are possible by means of such shaping, with simultaneously increased reliability for the fastening of the inner conductor 20 in the receiving region 75.
  • Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of an apparatus for manipulating an inner conductor, to which the fastening device 50 according to the embodiment can be used.
  • the device for manipulating an inner conductor comprises, for example, a manipulation device 110 for the automated manipulation of the inner conductor 20, which is to be inserted by the manipulation device 110 into a holding device 70 of the fastening device 50.
  • a digital camera 150 is used to capture an image in the direction of the exit side 62 of the passage opening.
