Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an apparatus, a method and a system for crimping or inverse crimping.
  • Inverse crimping here means that the crimp anvil, together with the crimp contact part supported on the crimp anvil or guided in the separating knife, is moved towards a stationary crimper instead of the usual movement of the crimper on a stationary crimping anvil with crimp contact part supported on the crimping anvil or guided in the separating knife.
  • all crimp contact parts are applied to the cores (individual cables) of a multi-core cable with the same orientation. For example, in the case of a four-wire line, two crimp contact parts are crimped onto the corresponding wires from above. Then the crimp contact parts are rotated by appropriate devices (or manually) into the desired positions with which the plug housing is to be populated. This subsequent turning of the individual wires or crimp contact parts is the more difficult the shorter the stripping length of the jacket of the multi-core cable.
  • the cables and the others are alternatively inserted into the crimping device automatically or by hand, rotated about their longitudinal axis, or the entire crimping device is rotated (in the example above, first the upper wires and then after a 180 ° rotation of the cable around them Longitudinal axis crimped the lower wires).
  • the object of the present disclosure is to specify an apparatus, a method and a system for inverse crimping, with which the formation of crimped multi-core lines with different orientations of the crimp contact parts can be simplified and improved.
  • the crimping device described in this disclosure differs from a standard crimping device in that the crimping boss is mounted on the moving part of the crimping device instead of the fixed part and the crimper is mounted on the fixed part of the crimping device instead of the moving part.
  • the crimping anvil and the crimper are thus mounted inversely with respect to a conventional crimping device.
  • the movement in or with which the crimping process is carried out is still from top to bottom.
  • the crimp contact parts are also rotated by 180 ° with respect to their longitudinal axis (inverse), i.e. opened downwards, fed or inserted into the crimping device.
  • a crimp contact part is preferably a metallic, preferably plastically deformable, at least partially electrically conductive component.
  • the crimp contact part has a crimp area in its longitudinal direction on one side and a contact area on the other side.
  • the crimping area is connected during the crimping by plastic deformation by means of the crimping device with a cable / conductor / cable end or a wire, which is or is optionally provided with a wire end sleeve, preferably firmly or positively connected.
  • the contact area preferably forms a plug, a pin or a Socket out. After crimping, the contact area can be mounted in a corresponding housing of a multi-pin plug.
  • the crimp contact part does not have a contact area in the above sense but is an open profile in the uncrimped state (tubular or V-shaped or U-shaped), which is completely not overlapping, completely overlapping or not completely closed when crimping around the wire .
  • the crimp contact part in the crimped state can preferably form a support sleeve, for example for surrounding a braided jacket.
  • Each crimp contact part is preferably crimped with a single line or a single cable or a single wire.
  • the crimp contact parts mentioned here are preferably not used for the direct connection of two wires within the area to be reshaped.
  • the crimp contact parts are preferably fed to the crimping device by means of a feed belt.
  • Each crimp contact part is preferably held at least on one side on the feed belt, the connection between the feed belt and the crimp contact part being such that a predetermined breaking point enables the crimp contact part to be easily separated or sheared from the feed belt without substantial damage or deformation of the crimp contact part.
  • the feed belt is preferably metallic, but can also be made of plastic.
  • the crimp contact part held on the feed belt is already preformed. In the case of a crimp contact part with a crimp area and a contact area, the contact area is preferably already completely formed, so that no further shaping is necessary for later use as a plug or socket, for example.
  • the crimp area is preferably also preformed, so that only a final and slight deformation is required for connection to the wire, but at the same time insertion of the wire is not unnecessarily hindered.
  • the feed belt guide device that is preferably provided is preferably provided as a guide slot in the severing knife.
  • the severing knife or the guide slot formed therein thus serves to guide the feed belt.
  • the guide slot is designed such that only the feed belt is guided in it and the crimp contact part held on the feed belt protrudes therefrom.
  • the crimping anvil and the severing knife are slidably mounted on each other.
  • the crimp contact part projects in such a way that a support surface of the crimp anvil is in contact with the projecting crimp contact part or comes into contact in a sliding relative movement between the crimp contact part and the crimp anvil can.
  • the crimp contact part is moved together with the crimp anvil towards the crimper while it is held on the feed belt which is guided in the guide slot.
  • the crimp contact part supported on the supporting surface of the crimp anvil is moved further together with the crimp anvil in the direction of the crimper, while the cutting knife remains stationary.
  • the crimp contact part is sheared off by the edge of the support surface facing the severing knife or a shearing edge provided on the crimping boss near the supporting surface and the edge of the severing knife facing the crimping boss.
  • opened downwards means that the regions of the crimp contact part to be formed or reshaped are arranged below the regions not to be reshaped or formed, and / or that the wire to be crimped with the crimp contact part is inserted from bottom to top.
  • the claimed crimping device which is only slightly modified compared to conventional crimping devices, enables inverse crimping, ie crimping contact parts rotated by 180 ° to the standard crimping device.
  • a first wire of a multi-core line in the standard crimping device can thus have a first crimp contact part and a second wire of the multi-wire line in the inverse
  • the crimping device can be provided with a crimp contact part which is rotated through 180 ° with respect to the first crimp contact part, without the multi-core line having to be rotated about its longitudinal axis between the crimping processes.
  • the multi-core cable can therefore be continuously clamped or clamped, reducing the processing time is reduced and a high position and position correctness of the multi-core cables to the crimping device or the crimp contact parts is made possible.
  • the crimping process is preferably at least the process in which the wire is firmly connected to the wire by reshaping the crimp contact part or the crimp contact part is firmly connected to the wire by reshaping the same.
  • the crimping anvil is preferably the tool that supports the crimp contact part at least from above during the crimping process.
  • the crimp anvil is preferably not used directly for reshaping the regions of the crimp contact part to be reshaped, in particular the crimp contact parts to be crimped are preferably not opened in the direction of the crimp anvil.
  • the crimper is designed to shape the regions (or at least a large part thereof) of the crimp contact part supported on the crimp anvil in the crimping process in a relative movement between the crimp anvil and the crimper.
  • the crimp contact parts to be crimped are preferably opened in the direction of the crimper. In some embodiments, it is not excluded that regions of the crimp contact part are also deformed by the crimping boss. If crimp contact parts are used which are already "closed” in the initial state, the crimper is arranged on the side on which the overlap of the regions to be reshaped to one another is enlarged or changed in the crimping process.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the same.
  • the inverse crimping device 10 has a crimper 18 rigidly mounted, for example, on a base plate 28.
  • the crimper 18 is fastened, for example, by means of a screw 30 to a base 32 which is mounted on the base plate 28.
  • the crimper 18 serves, as will be described later, to reshape regions 20 of a crimp contact part 12 supported on a crimp anvil 16 in a crimping process (see also Figure 5A ).
  • the crimper 18 has a crimper area 34, not shown in the upper area.
  • the crimper region 34 can be formed, for example, from V-shaped or U-shaped lugs, which is adapted to the specific shape of the regions 20 of the crimp contact part or parts 12 to be shaped.
  • the crimper region 34 can be designed for reshaping a single or a plurality of crimp contact parts 12 at the same time.
  • the base 32 likewise has a stop 26 in the upper region, here horizontally offset from the crimper region, the function of which will be described later.
  • a crimp anvil 16 is provided vertically above the crimper 18.
  • the crimping anvil 16 is held movably in the vertical direction by means of a drive unit 36.
  • the crimping anvil 16 has a support area (support surface) 38, which is not shown in detail.
  • the support area 38 lies opposite the crimper area 34 in the vertical direction and is designed to support a crimp contact part 12 (from above).
  • the drive unit 36 is designed such that the crimping anvil 16 for carrying out the crimping process from a first vertical position (rest position), in which it is spaced a predetermined vertical distance from the crimper 18, into a second vertical position, in which the regions to be formed 20 of the crimp contact part 12 are completely deformed, towards which the crimper 18 can be moved. In the second position, the crimping anvil 16 and the crimper 18 can overlap in the horizontal direction, at least in the region of the support region 38 and the crimper region 34, that is to say they interlock.
  • the drive unit 36 is for example an electric motor with gear (e.g. worm gear, rack and pinion drive) or a hydraulic or pneumatic drive.
  • the drive unit contains a corresponding control.
  • the anvil 16 also has a guide plate (guide means) 40, preferably rigid, also via third components, attached to the anvil.
  • the anvil 16 and the guide plate 40 are designed or fastened to one another in such a way that a separating knife 22 (only) is guided between them in a vertically movable manner.
  • the guide plate 40 has a vertical elongated hole 42 in which a guide bolt 44, which is rigidly attached to the severing knife 22 and projects from the severing knife 22, is guided in a vertical direction between an upper stop position and a lower stop position.
  • the separating knife 22 can thus be moved between an upper and a lower stop position, only the lower stop position being approached and the upper stop position could be omitted.
  • the severing knife 22 is preferably biased into the lower stop position, for example, by a spring 45.
  • the severing knife 22 In the lower stop position, the severing knife 22 is in its vertically lowest position with respect to or relative to the crimping anvil 16. In this lower stop position, the lower end of the severing knife 22 stands downward from the anvil 16 towards the crimper 18 or the base plate 28 in front.
  • the support area 38 or the anvil 16 and the cut-off knife 22 are designed such that the downwardly projecting area of the cut-off knife 22 is formed adjacent to the support area 38 in the horizontal direction (overlapping in the horizontal direction). In this embodiment, the downwardly protruding area projects so far in the first position of the crimping boss 16 that it is also partially adjacent in the horizontal direction (overlapping in the horizontal direction) to the crimper area 34, at least its upper end.
  • a feed band also referred to as a contact strip
  • the guide slot is open on the crimp anvil side.
  • the feed belt 24 is, for example, a metallic belt on which the crimp contact parts 12 are held, for example, on one side (at one end in their longitudinal direction).
  • the guide slot 46 is like this provided that when the severing knife 22 is in its lower stop position (and the crimping boss is in its initial position (first position)), the crimping contact parts 12 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of Fig. 1 can be supplied (horizontally) without colliding with the support area 38 of the anvil 16 or the crimper area 34 of the crimper 18. At least one crimp contact part itself (ie not the feed belt) held on the feed belt projects from the guide slot on the open side of the guide slot into the area between the crimping boss and the crimper (overlap area). So there is only the feed belt in the guide slot and only the crimp contact part between the crimping boss and the crimper.
  • a wire insertion opening 48 is further provided in the projecting area of the separating knife 22.
  • the wire insertion opening 48 is preferably conical, i.e. tapers from the side facing away from the anvil 16 and thus serves for the simple insertion of a wire 14 to be crimped with the crimp contact part 12.
  • the lower (outermost) end of the cutting knife 22 serves, as will be described later, as a stop area 50 of the cutting knife 22.

Furthermore, a crimp contact part 12 has already been fed by means of the feed belt 24 to a position between the crimping boss 16, in particular the support region 38, and the crimper 18, in particular the crimper region 34.
  • the crimp contact part 12 is preferably very close or in contact (in contact) with the support region 38.

  • the inverse crimping device 10 is thus designed in such a way that the crimp contact part 12 and the wire 14 are placed vertically one above the other in the vertical space between the support area 38, the crimping boss 16 and the crimper area 34 of the crimper 18.
  • the wire 14 inserted into the wire insertion opening 48 and initially held stationary in a wire feeding device comes into contact with the upper edge of the wire insertion opening 48 and is also moved downward.
  • the wire feed device described later can be designed in such a way that it allows the wire 14 to move downward, ie it preferably lowers together with the wire 14. If necessary, a mechanical and / or electrical or other type of coupling with the movement of the cutting knife can also be provided for this purpose.
  • the crimper region 34 of the crimper 18 comes into contact with the crimp contact part 12.
  • the crimper region 34 comes in the further downward movement (in the state of Figure 2C ) of the crimping boss 16 in the direction of the crimper 18 increasingly in contact with the regions 20 of the crimp contact part 12 to be reshaped, as a result of which the crimp contact part 12 is held increasingly firmly between the support region 38 and the crimper region 34.
  • a first plastic forming of the areas 20 to be formed takes place, which can lead to a first contact and at least partial encasing of the wire 14 by the crimp contact part 12.
  • the crimper region 34 increasingly overlaps (horizontally) with the support region 38 in this embodiment.
  • the wire 14 continues to move with the movement of the severing knife 22 moved by abutting the upper edge of the wire insertion opening 48 with.
