Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing a cable.
  • cables are cut to length from a cable supply.
  • the cable can be formed into a cable loop.
  • An apparatus for the machining of a partial cable harness with long cables which is suitable to handle connector housing with a large number of cables is, for example EP2421102A1 known.
  • a cable is fed to the machine. With the cable a loop is formed, which is extended by pulling horizontally. Thereafter, the two cable ends are transported to the processing stations and finally introduced into the corresponding connector housing. The individual cable loops remain in a cable tray until the partial wiring harness is removed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device which prevents the entanglement of open cable loops and thereby offers a substantial facilitation in the removal of the partial cable harnesses.
  • the cable can be fed to the machine from a supply of cable.
  • the process can then proceed as follows: The supplied cable is looped and pulled to the required length.
  • the driver of the loop pull-out module is brought into the inner region of the loop and pulls from there the loop to the desired length.
  • the loop is released from the loop pull-out module and falls over at least one guide body on the loop storage area.
  • a cable end is released, so that the now open loop is pulled only at one end by the processing machine.
  • the guide through the guide body prevents that areas of the cable move against the intended direction. By controlling the direction of movement, small, twisted loops will loosen and a possible twist of the cable will naturally spin slowly.
  • the held cable end passes through the individual processing stations, with the rest of the cable is tightened. Finally, the held cable end is brought with its contact at the Steckerbe Anlagenungsstation in the intended connector housing.
  • the thus processed cables of the sub-harness are kept in a known manner of struts on a cable tray until removal.
  • the loop storage surface is a substantially horizontally oriented working surface for depositing at least one loop of the cable.
  • To wind the loop is the driver in a Start loop is moved into or the initial loop is placed around the driver.
  • the driver is moved with a vertical distance above the loop storage surface.
  • the driver has a plurality of protrusions, which are designed to reduce the contact area between the cable and the driver.
  • the rounding of the elevations may be smaller than a minimum permissible bending radius of the cable.
  • the number and distribution of the elevations is chosen so that the minimum permissible bending radius of the cable is not exceeded, which prevents permanent deformation of the cable.
  • the minimum permissible bending radius of the cable is the smallest radius into which the cable can be bent without damage. By reducing the contact area, the cable can slide around the driver with less friction. Due to an appropriately selected surface, this is supported positively.
  • the driver also has an inlet geometry for the cable.
  • the inlet geometry can be designed, for example, as an inlet area and outlet area, so that the cable does not rub against a sharp edge.
  • the driver is moved above the guide body by a drive. To deposit the loop over the guide body, the driver is moved out of the loop upwards.
  • the guide body is substantially cylindrical, with a radius greater than the minimum allowable bending radius of the cable.
  • the contour of the guide body closes flush with the Scharchitecteablage Structure, whereby the cable can not be pinched.
  • the guide body has a taper in the form of a point or a ridge at its upper end.
  • the tip or the ridge are preferably rounded. By the taper, the guide body can penetrate into a relatively narrow loop. When you drop the cable falls by gravity from the driver down over the top of the guide body on the loop storage area.
  • the tip of the guide body is aligned with the center axis of the loop.
  • the tip of the guide body is also arranged laterally offset from the central axis of the guide body.
  • the guide body is inclined to it cut.
  • An oblique cut results in a kind of elongated tip with a high robustness.
  • An upper surface of the guide body is arranged at a non-right angle, for example between 10 ° and 85 °, preferably between 30 ° and 70 °, to the vertical.
  • the guide body is magnetically mounted on the loop storage surface.
  • the guide body at different positions along the loop storage surface can be reversibly changed changeable. This makes it easy to set different lengths for the loop.
  • the guide body in the longitudinal direction of the loop storage surface are arranged one behind the other and spaced from each other.
  • One half of the cable loop is withdrawn from the loop storage area by the further transport of the held cable end to the processing stations around the guide body. This prevents entrainment of the adjacent cable ends in an undesired direction. At the same time a possible twist of the cable can be solved.
  • a second preferred embodiment provides that the loop storage surface is contoured.
  • a slope or inclination of the loop storage surface can be so flat or low that the cable remains due to its weight. This reduces the risk that the adjacent cables will pull each other.
  • a further preferred embodiment has a driver with at least one rotatable roller, which minimizes the friction between cable and driver.
  • the radius of the roller is greater than the minimum allowable bending radius of the cable.
  • the inlet geometry is for example bevelled and / or rounded off.
  • the inlet geometry can also be designed, for example, funnel-shaped. Due to the inlet geometry, the cable can run around the driver during mounting without damage.
  • the driver is moved out of the loop. For example, the driver can be moved back while the loop remains open. Then the loop falls over the guide body.
  • Fig. 1 shows a representation of an apparatus 100 for processing a cable 102 according to an embodiment.
  • the device 100 is here a part of a harness processing machine.
  • the device 100 has a loop storage surface 104 and a plurality of guide bodies 106 arranged thereon.
  • the guide bodies 106 project upwards beyond the loop storage surface 104.
  • the guide bodies 106 have a circular cross-sectional area.
  • a motor-driven driver 108 is arranged over the loop storage surface 104.
  • the driver 108 is mounted linearly movable in a pull-out direction.
  • the driver 108 is designed to take off a loop 110 of the cable 102 to a desired length and to deposit on the loop storage surface 104 via at least one of the guide bodies 106.
  • the driver 108 To pull out the driver 108 is moved by its drive device, not shown here to a cable output device 112. There, the driver 108 is moved into an initial loop or the initial loop wrapped around the driver 108. Subsequently, the driver 108 is moved by the drive means in the extension direction and thereby pulls the loop 110 on.
  • the loop 110 is then long enough when both ends of the cable 102 together give a desired cable length. If the loop 110 is long enough, that is, the driver 108 has been moved to a position predetermined by the desired cable length, the driver 108 places the loop 110 on the loop support surface 104 via at least one of the guide bodies 106. For this purpose, the driver 108 is pulled out of the loop 110 by the drive device. It is also possible to move the driver 108 by the drive means in a direction opposite to the elevator direction, so that the cable 102 drops from the driver 108 onto the loop storage surface 104.
  • the end of the loop 110 connected to the cable supply is severed at the cable dispenser 112. This end is free.
  • the cable 102 is withdrawn around the guide body 106 for further processing in the harness processing machine.
  • the loose end of the cable 102 relaxes.
  • the remaining twist is stripped off the cable 102 by the guide body 106.
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation of a guide body 106 with a cylindrical base body.
  • the guide body essentially corresponds to one of the guide bodies in FIG Fig. 1 .
  • To form a tip of the guide body 106 is cut above obliquely.
  • the guide body 106 on its upper side on a one-sided inclined, continuous surface 200 over which the cable slips laterally when it is placed over the guide bodies 106.
  • the tip is laterally offset from the lateral surface of the cylinder.
  • Fig. 3 shows a representation of a driver 108 and a guide body 106 of a device for processing a cable 102 according to an embodiment.
  • the guide body 106 and the driver substantially correspond to the representations in the FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the cam 108 has a friction-reducing surface design.
  • the driver 108 a plurality of transversely to the cable 102 aligned elevations 300, for example in the form of transverse to a curvature of the driver 108 aligned ribs on which the cable 102 is applied and which reduce the contact surface to the loop surface. Between the elevations 300, the cable 102 does not touch the driver 108 and thus can cause no friction.
  • the configuration of the elevations 300 and their surface properties depend on the properties of the cable 102 to be processed.
  • the distribution and number of elevations 300 is chosen so that the minimum allowable bending radius of the cable 102 is not exceeded, below which the cable 102 plastically deformed. Furthermore, the contour of the elevations 300 is selected so that displacements of the cable insulation material are reduced to a minimum. Further the driver 108 has an inlet area per side to minimize damage to the cable 102 by its own vibrations when pulling the loop 110.
  • the tip of the guide body 106 is aligned with the central axis 114 of the loop 110.
  • one side of the loop 110 slides over the inclined surface of the guide body 106 to the side and both sides of the loop 110 come to rest on different sides of the guide body 106.
  • Fig. 4 shows an illustration of a driver 108 for a device for processing a cable according to an embodiment.
  • the driver 108 substantially corresponds to the driver in Fig. 3 ,
  • the driver 108 has a substantially semi-cylindrical base body 400.
  • Fig. 5 shows a representation of a driver 108 in roll form for a device for processing a cable according to an embodiment.
  • the driver 108 may, for example, as the driver in Fig. 1 be used.
  • the driver 108 here has a pulley 502 rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 500.
  • the pulley 502 has a circumferential groove for laterally guiding the cable.
  • the driver 108 also has an inlet geometry 504.
  • the inlet geometry 504 adjoins the pulley 502 on both sides and is rotatable about the rotation axis 500 with the pulley 502.
  • the inlet geometry 504 is executed on both sides as an over the pulley 502 protruding, oblique collar.
  • the inlet geometry 504 prevents the cable from running off the sheave 502, even if the cable is not perpendicular to the axis of rotation 500.
  • Fig. 6 shows a representation of a driver 108 with multiple rollers 600 for a device for processing a cable according to an embodiment.
  • the driver 108 substantially corresponds to the driver in Fig. 4 ,
  • the driver 108 has four rotatably mounted rollers 600 instead of the elevations here on.
  • the rollers 600 are mounted in recesses of a bottom plate 602 and a cover plate 604.
  • the rollers 600 are cylindrical and are chosen in their distribution and number so that the minimum allowable bending radius of the cable 1020 is not exceeded.
  • the bottom disk 602 and the cover disk 604 are substantially semicircular and project beyond the semicircular rollers 600.
  • At least the bottom disk 602 has an inlet geometry 504.
  • the inlet geometry 504 is designed here as a semicircular circumferential chamfer.
  • the driver 108 has a group of rollers 600, which have a small rotational inertia, resulting in a low tracking behavior of the rollers 600 results.
  • the forces acting on the cable are reduced so much, which is important for sensitive cables with very small cross section and thin insulation.
