Description

Drahthandlingvornchtung

The present invention relates to a wire handling apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a packaging apparatus having such a wire handling apparatus.

When assembling wires by means of a packaging device, a wire from a wire reservoir, such as a wire reel, a wire handling device is supplied, which serves to guide the wire and handed over to wire processing stations. Usually, wire is initially guided from the wire reservoir through the wire handling device until the desired wire length is reached, whereupon the wire is cut to length, for example by a cutting device arranged between the wire reservoir and the wire handling device. Then, the first wire end of the wire guided and held in the wire handling apparatus is guided by the wire handling apparatus to a processing station in the form of a wire harness. In the wire assembler, the wire end is machined by, for example, stripping the wire end and / or attaching a wire termination (e.g., lug, tab, crimp, stocking, cable sleeve, grommet, or the like) to the wire end. Subsequently, the wire is in turn moved through the wire handling device (now in the opposite direction) and the second end of the wire to the same or another processing station out, so that the second end of the wire can be provided with a wire termination. The correspondingly prepared wire is then removed from a transfer device (for example a robot arm) from the wire handling device and transferred to any further processing stations, such as a marking station or an order station.

In the context of the present disclosure, the term wire includes single insulated or bare wires, single or multi-core wires or sheathed cables, harnesses, strands, fiber optic cables or the like. Known wire handling devices have two wire guide devices which are arranged at a certain distance from each other, so that between the guide portions of the wire guide devices results in a gap that has to bridge the front wire end when passing the wire through the wire guide devices. In order that the wire end after this gap can actually enter the guide portion of the rear or second wire guide device from the viewpoint of the wire, it is important that the wire already before insertion into the first guide portion of the front or first wire guide device in the Essentially exactly rectilinear is what complex and complicated wire straightening devices are needed.

The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a wire handling device which enables improved wire guidance.

This object is achieved by a wire handling apparatus having the features of claim 1 and a packaging apparatus having such a wire handling apparatus. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

In the invention it is provided that the first wire guide device and the second wire guide device are arranged to be movable relative to each other.

Thereby, the two guide portions of the two wire guide devices can be brought into close proximity, so that the gap between the two guide portions can be minimized. It is particularly favorable if the two wire guide devices are moved so far relative to one another that the two wire guide devices directly abut each other and thus the second guide section directly adjoins the first guide section, whereby the two guide sections form a continuous guide section extending through both wire guide devices extends. Since there is no longer any gap between the guide sections that the wire has to overcome, it is no longer necessary for the wire to be exactly rectilinear before entering the wire handling device. A straightening of the wire can thus either less precise and therefore made with less effort or even completely eliminated.

According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the first wire guide device and / or the second wire guide device is or are substantially tubular, wherein preferably the first guide portion and / or the second guide portion is or are substantially formed as a cylindrical cavity. In principle, a cross section of the first guide section and / or of the second guide section can be formed, inter alia, round, oval, square or rectangular, transversely to the longitudinal extent.

Preferably, it may be provided that the first guide section is formed essentially in a straight line along a longitudinal direction and / or the second guide section is formed substantially rectilinearly along the longitudinal direction.

Preferably, it can be provided that the first wire guide device and the second wire guide device are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction. It can be provided in particular that the first guide portion and the second guide portion are aligned in the longitudinal direction in alignment with each other.

A preferred embodiment provides that the first wire guide device is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the second wire guide device and / or the second wire guide device is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the first wire guide device.

In this case, therefore, one of the two wire guide devices or even both wire guide devices can be moved translationally along the longitudinal direction.

In particular, when the wire guide devices are tubular, the longitudinal direction represents a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical cavities forming the guide sections and the translational movement can take place axially along the longitudinal axis. Particularly advantageous is that embodiment of the invention in which the first wire guide device and the second wire guide device are movable into a feed-through position, wherein in the feed-through position, the first wire guide device and the second wire guide device are arranged substantially directly behind one another in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the mutually facing end faces of the wire guide devices and the two guide portions form a continuous guide portion which extends through both wire guide devices.

A movement of the wire guiding devices into the feedthrough position can take place, for example, in that the first wire guiding device is stationary and the second wire guiding device is moved in the direction of the first wire guiding device. Likewise, this movement can take place in that the second wire guide device is stationary and the first wire guide device is moved in the direction of the second wire guide device. Of course, it can also be provided that both wire guide devices move towards each other.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment it can be provided that the first wire guiding device and the second wire guiding device are movable into a conveying position, wherein in the conveying position the first wire guiding device and the second wire guiding device are arranged spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. It can be provided that the wire handling device comprises a wire feed device, wherein the wire feed device in the conveying position between the first wire guide device and the second wire guide device is movable.

Here, in the conveying position of the wire guide devices, the wire feeding device is engageable with a wire extending between the first wire guiding device and the second wire guiding device, whereby the wire can be transported in the forward direction or in the reverse direction (with respect to the longitudinal direction). Preferably, it can be provided that the wire feeding device can be brought into engagement with the wire during the transition of the wire guiding devices from the feed position to the conveying position. Preferably, it can be provided that the wire feed device comprises two counter-rotating transport rollers. It can be provided that the two transport rollers are movable toward each other transversely to the longitudinal direction, for example by means of a linear drive or a pneumatic cylinder. The wire conveying device may also comprise two belt systems in which a belt is arranged around at least two rollers and is driven by the rollers, wherein the two belt systems can be brought into engagement with the wire and thus the wire is clamped between the two belts and separated from the belts two straps can be moved. The two transport rollers can pinch the wire between the running surfaces of the transport rollers and thus, with opposite rotation of the transport rollers, move the wire in the longitudinal direction and in the opposite direction.

The wire handling device comprises a carrier device, wherein the first wire guiding device and the second wire guiding device are arranged on the carrier device.

The carrier device may be plate-shaped or disc-shaped or plate-shaped.

Preferably, it may be provided that the first wire guide device and / or the second wire guide device is or are arranged to be translationally movable, preferably in the longitudinal direction, on the carrier device. The first wire guiding device and / or the second wire guiding device can therefore be mounted so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction on the carrier device and a movement of the first wire guiding device and / or the second wire guiding device can take place for example by means of a linear drive. It can also be provided that one of the two wire guide devices is fixedly arranged on the carrier device and the other of the two wire guide devices is mounted in the longitudinal direction movable on the carrier device. It can of course also be provided that both wire guide devices are mounted in the longitudinal direction movable on the support device.

The carrier device is rotatably mounted about a rotation axis. Preferably, the axis of rotation runs substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The carrier device can be rotatably mounted, for example, on a frame or a frame about the rotation axis, so that the wire end can be fed to a processing unit arranged in the corresponding angular position. In particular, the same processing unit can thereby also be used for both wire ends since, after the front or first wire end has been processed, the carrier device can be pivoted by 180 ° about the axis of rotation and thus the rear or second wire end can be fed to the processing unit.

A particular embodiment provides that the support device is mounted translationally movable.

As a result, a wire end can not only be pivoted in the direction of a processing unit, but the wire end can also be guided to the processing unit and transferred to the processing unit, without the wire having to be moved relative to the wire guiding devices.

Preferably, it can be provided that the carrier device comprises a first carrier plate and a second carrier plate, wherein the first carrier plate is movable relative to the second carrier plate.

In this case, it can be provided, in particular, that the first carrier plate is arranged to be translationally movable on the second carrier plate. This simplifies the construction of a support device which is also rotatably mounted about a rotation axis, since rotation of the second support plate also automatically rotates the first support plate as well is and for supplying the wire end to the processing unit only the first carrier plate must be moved relative to the second carrier plate.

Preferably, it can be provided that a guide web is arranged on the second carrier plate, wherein the first carrier plate is arranged to be movable along the guide web. The movement of the first support plate relative to the second support plate may in turn be e.g. done by means of a linear drive.

Improved wire guidance by the wire handling device can also be achieved by making the first wire guide device divisible into at least two parts along the first guide section and / or by dividing the second wire guide device into at least two parts along the second guide section. By a divisible design of the wire guide devices along the guide sections can also be provided with a wire termination wire end, which has a relation to the wire diameter enlarged outer dimensions, along the correspondingly enlarged guide portions through the wire guide devices through the wire. In other words, this makes it possible to pass wires of different thicknesses or wires with attached wire terminations through the wire guide devices.

According to a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the at least two parts are movable relative to each other.

The wire guide devices can thus be designed so as to be divisible along at least one of the longitudinal directions into at least two parts which are mounted so as to be movable relative to one another. The movement can take place radially with respect to a longitudinal direction or longitudinal axis of the wire guide devices or their guide sections.

It is particularly advantageous if it is provided that the at least two parts comprise a first guide part and a second guide part, wherein the second guide part can be lifted off the first guide part. This represents a structurally particularly simple variant, in which the wire guide devices are divided along their longitudinal extensions into two halves (lower first guide part and upper second guide part) and to increase the guide sections the upper halves are lifted off the lower halves. The lifting of the upper guide parts can be carried out radially or transversely to the longitudinal extent of the wire guide devices.

Protection is also desired for a packaging device with a proposed wire handling device.

In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the packaging device comprises at least one processing unit in the form of a wire-making device. A wire end of the wire guided by the wire handling device may be transferred from the wire handling device to the wire assembling device to provide the wire end, for example, with a wire termination.

The at least one processing unit can be, for example, an open, free-standing or a cushioned wire-fabricating device with an opening for insertion of a wire end.

Preferably, it may be provided that the Drahtkonfektioniereinrichtung has an opening for insertion of a wire end, wherein the opening is funnel-shaped. Through the funnel-shaped opening, the insertion of the wire end can be facilitated, since not exactly centric transfer of the wire end, the wire end is guided along the funnel shape to the opening.

It can also be provided that the wire handling device has at least one connecting device for docking the wire handling device to the wire-making device, wherein preferably the at least one connecting device has a conical region corresponding to the funnel-shaped opening. When a conical region corresponding to the funnel-shaped opening is provided on the connecting device, a form-fitting docking can be achieved the connection device at the funnel-shaped opening and the wire end can be freely introduced through the opening in the Drahtkonfektioniereinrichtung. Preferably, it may be provided that a connecting device is arranged at each of the mutually remote ends of the first wire guiding device and the second wire guiding device. As a result, it is possible to ensure centric docking of the wire-handling device to the wire-making device for both wire ends.

The two guide sections 6, 7 are formed substantially as cylindrical cavities. The first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6 are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction L, the first guide section 4 and the second guide section 7 being aligned in the longitudinal direction L in alignment with one another. In Figure 2b, the two guide portions 6, 7 in the interior of the wire guide devices 3, 6 indicated by dashed lines.

The two wire guide devices 3, 6 are in the illustration shown in their feed-through position A, in which the first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6 are arranged in the longitudinal direction L substantially immediately one behind the other. The two facing ends of the Wire guide devices 3, 6 taper in the direction of the guide sections 6, 7 in order to facilitate the engagement of the transport rollers 9 of the wire feed device 8 with the wire 5 during the transition from the feed-through position A to the feed position B.

The first wire guide device 3 is formed in this example along the first guide portion 4 in two parts - a first guide part 3a and a second guide part 3b - divisible and the second wire guide device 6 along the second guide portion 7 also in two parts - a first guide member 6a and a second guide part 6b-teilbar formed. The two guide parts 3a, 3b of the first wire guide device 3 are movable relative to each other, wherein the second guide part 3b can be lifted from the first guide part 3a. Likewise, the two guide parts 6a, 6b of the second wire guide device 6 are also movable relative to one another, wherein the second guide part 6b can be lifted off the first guide part 6a. In the position shown, the two second guide parts 3b, 6b rest on the two first guide parts 3a, 6a, whereby the two guide sections 4, 7 extend along the longitudinal direction L within the two wire guide devices 3, 6. In each of the two mutually adjacent guide parts 3a and 3b or 6a and 6b, a continuous trough-shaped recess is formed in the longitudinal direction L, so that the two guide sections 6, 7 are formed essentially as cylindrical cavities.

The wire handling device 1 further comprises a carrier device 10, wherein the first wire guiding device 3 and the second wire guiding device 6 are arranged on the carrier device 10. The support device 10 comprises a first support plate 1 1 and a second support plate 12, wherein the first support plate 1 1 is movable relative to the second support plate 12 by a guide web 13 is disposed on the second support plate 12, wherein the first support plate 1 1 along the guide web 13 is arranged movable. In the embodiment shown, the first wire guide device 3 is fixedly arranged on the first carrier plate 1 1 and the second wire guide device 6 is translationally arranged in the longitudinal direction L movable on the support device 10 by the second wire guide device 6 along the guide web 13 is arranged movable. The carrier device 10 or its second carrier plate 12 is rotatably mounted on a frame or frame, not shown here, about an axis of rotation R. By way of example, a sequence of assembling a wire 5 with a proposed wire handling device 1 according to FIGS. 2a and 2b will be described with reference to the subsequent FIGS. 3a to 15b. The occurring different positions of the wire handling device 1 are each shown in a perspective view and in a plan view.

In the position of the wire handling device 1 according to the figures 3a and 3b, a wire 5 from a wire reservoir 18, not shown here by means of a feed device 19, not shown here by the two guide sections 6, 7 of the two wire guide devices 3, 6 passed. The two wire guide devices 3, 6 are in their feed-through position A, in which the first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6 are arranged substantially immediately one behind the other in the longitudinal direction L and the two guide sections 6, 7 are aligned in the longitudinal direction L, so that they form a continuous guide section for the wire 5, which extends along the two wire guide devices 3, 6. The wire 5 has been passed through the guide sections 6, 7 so far that it protrudes in the longitudinal direction L via the second wire guide device 6.

In the position shown in Figures 4a and 4b, the second wire guide device 6 has been moved in the longitudinal direction L relative to the first wire guide device 3, so that the two wire guide devices 3, 6 were transferred from its feed-through position A in its conveying position B, in which the first wire guide device 3 and second wire guide device 6 are arranged in the longitudinal direction L spaced from each other. During the transition from the feed-through position A to the feed position B, the two transport rollers 9 of the wire feed device 8 were moved radially with respect to the longitudinal direction L into the resulting gap between the first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6, so that the wire 5 between the transport rollers 9 is trapped and by opposite rotation of the transport rollers 9 in the longitudinal direction L can be moved. The wire 5 is now moved by the wire feeding device 8 in the longitudinal direction L until the desired wire length for this wire to be assembled 5 is reached. Then, the wire 5 is cut to length by a cutting device 20.

FIGS. 5a and 5b show a position of the wire handling device 1 in which the wire 5 has already been cut to length by means of the cutting device 20 and the two wire guide devices 3, 6 have been moved in the longitudinal direction L relative to the second carrier plate 12 of the carrier device 10, both by the second wire guiding device 6 as well as the first carrier plate 1 1 - on which the first wire guide device 3 and the wire conveying device 8 are arranged - were moved in the longitudinal direction L along the guide web 13. However, the two wire guide devices 3, 6 were not moved relative to each other, so they are still in their conveying position B.

In the position of the wire handling device 1 according to Figures 6a and 6b, the support device 10 was rotated about the rotation axis R by 90 ° clockwise (viewed from the top view), so now the just cut first wire end 5a of the wire 5 in the direction of an opening 15 a Wire assembly 14 is aligned. The rotation of the carrier device 10 about the axis of rotation R took place by the second carrier plate 12 of the carrier device 10 rotatably mounted on a frame or frame (not shown here) being rotated accordingly. Of course, the carrier device 10 can be rotated depending on the arrangement of a processing unit in any desired angular position.

In the position shown in Figures 7a and 7b, the two wire guide devices 3, 6 opposite to the longitudinal direction L relative to the second support plate 12 of the support device 10 were moved by both the second wire guide device 6 and the first support plate 1 1 - on which the first wire guide device and the wire conveying device 8 are arranged - opposite to the longitudinal direction L along the guide web 13 were moved. As a result, the first wire end 5a was transferred from the wire handling device 1 to the wire-making device 14, by the first wire end 5a through the Opening 15 of the wire harness 14 was inserted into the wire harness 14. To facilitate the insertion of the first wire end 5a, the opening 15 is funnel-shaped.

FIG. 7 c shows an alternative embodiment variant of the first wire guiding device 3. Here, a connecting device 16 is arranged on the end of the first wire guiding device 3 facing the wire assembling device 14, wherein the connecting device 16 has a conical region 17 corresponding to the funnel-shaped opening 15 indicated by a dashed line. As a result, a form-fitting docking of the connecting device 16 to the funnel-shaped opening 15 can take place and the first wire end 5a can be introduced unhindered through the opening 15 into the wire-making device 14. It can also be provided that at the opposite ends of the first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6 each have a connection device 16 is arranged.

Figures 8a and 8b show a position of the wire handling device 1, in which the first wire end 5a was provided in the wire harness 14 with a wire end 22 in the form of a cable lug. In the position shown, the two wire guide devices 3, 6 were moved in the longitudinal direction L relative to the second support plate 12 of the support device 10 by both the second wire guide device 6 and the first support plate 1 1 in the longitudinal direction L along the guide web 13 were moved. In this case, the first wire end 5a provided with the wire end 22 has been led out of the wire-making device 14 through the opening 15.

In the position shown in Figures 9a and 9b, the support device 10 was rotated about the rotation axis R by 180 ° clockwise, so now the second wire end 5b of the wire 5 is aligned in the direction of the opening 15 of the wire assembly 14. Of course, the carrier device 10 can be rotated depending on the arrangement of a processing unit in any desired angular position. The positions according to FIGS. 10a and 10b or 11a and 11b essentially correspond to the positions according to FIGS. 7a and 7b or 8a and 8b, with the difference that now the second wire end 5b in the wire assembling device 14 has a wire termination 22 was provided in the form of a cable lug. In addition, a transfer device 21 in the form of a robot arm with gripper tongs to the first wire guide device 3 has been introduced.

In the position of the wire handling device 1 according to FIGS. 12a and 12b, the second guide part 6b of the second wire guide device 6 has been lifted off the first guide part 6a of the second wire guide device 6 in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction L - in a specific example in a direction parallel to the rotation axis R. As a result, the second guide section 7 has been enlarged so that the second wire end 5b, which is thicker than the wire diameter due to the wire termination 22, can now also be passed through the second wire guide device 6 along the second guide section 7. Evident is also in the longitudinal direction L continuous trough-shaped recess in the first guide portion 6a of the second wire guide device 6, which forms the second guide portion 7 in conjunction with a likewise in the longitudinal direction L continuous trough-shaped recess in the second guide part 6b of the second wire guide device 6. In the position shown, the wire 5 has already been moved in a direction opposite to the longitudinal direction L by the wire conveying device 8, but the second wire end 5b is still in the area of the second wire guiding device 6. In the position according to FIGS. 13a and 13b, the second wire guiding device has been formed 6 opposite to the longitudinal direction L relative to the first wire guide device 3 is moved, so that the two wire guide devices 3, 6 have been transferred from its delivery position B in its implementation position A, in which the first wire guide device 3 and the second wire guide device 6 in the longitudinal direction L are arranged substantially immediately one behind the other , At the same time, the transport rollers 9 of the wire feeding device 8 were moved radially outward with respect to the longitudinal direction L, and thus disengaged from the wire 5. In the position according to FIGS. 14a and 14b, the second guide part 3b of the first wire guiding device 3 has also been lifted off the first guide part 3a of the first wire guiding device 3 in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction L - in a specific example in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation R. As a result, the first guide section 4 has also been enlarged so that the second wire end 5b, which is thicker than the wire diameter due to the wire termination 22, can also be passed along the first guide section 4 through the first wire guide device 3. Evident is also in the longitudinal direction L continuous trough-shaped recess in the first guide part 3a of the first wire guide device 3, which forms the first guide section 4 in conjunction with a likewise in the longitudinal direction L continuous trough-shaped recess in the second guide part 3b of the first wire guide device 3.

In the position of the wire handling device 1 according to FIGS. 15 a and 15 b, the ready-made wire 5 was grasped by the gripping tongs of the transfer device 21 and removed from the wire handling device 1 by the transfer device 21. The wire 5 can now be transferred from the transfer device 21 to any further processing stations, such as a marking station or an ordering station.

Of course, it is also possible that the wire 5 from the other side - that is, starting with the second wire guide device 6 - is passed to the wire handling device 1 or that only one of the both wire ends is processed by a processing unit.
