Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for transporting electrical cables.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement with such a device and at least one electrical cable.
- So-called workpiece carriers can be used to transport electrical cables, on which electrical cables are arranged and accommodated according to their specific application.
- a corresponding device for transporting cables has such a workpiece carrier, which is transported accordingly to transport the at least one cable, for example between different stations of a production plant.
- Such a device is known, for example, from DE 10 2016 119 867 B4.
- the device has a workpiece carrier with holders for holding electrical cables.
- the workpiece carrier can be transported with the electrical cables held therein.
- U1 shows a transport frame for a supply line.
- the frame has a holding device for holding the supply line and a line guide device in a spatially defined position as well as a docking device for docking the frame to a machine in a defined position, the holding device is attached to the frame in a positionally variable manner relative to it, so that the supply line or line guide device held on it can be arranged in several positions, and that locking means are provided for fixing the holding device and thus the line guide in the several positions.
- DE 10044 549 A1 relates to a wire harness forming board for producing a wire harness for the wiring of a vehicle.
- the wire harness forming board has a predetermined Laying structure form, whereby the cable harness forming board can be pivoted about a pivot axis.
- CN 1 11 963 829 A shows an electromechanical device for installing equipment, which has two symmetrically arranged cover plates which are connected to each other by a bidirectional threaded rod and a positioning slide rod.
- the present invention is concerned with the object of providing improved or at least alternative embodiments for a device of the type mentioned above and for an arrangement comprising such a device and at least one electrical line.
- the present invention is based on the basic idea of segmenting a workpiece carrier, which is usually used in the prior art, for transporting electrical cables and connecting the individual segments to one another in an articulated manner so that they can be steered relative to one another, and of receiving the at least one electrical cable to be transported with the individual segments so that the at least one electrical cable bends relative to one another when the segments are steered.
- the bendable property of the at least one cable is thus used to enable the cables to be transported even in tight spaces, in particular along tight curves.
- the device can transport the at least one electrical cable more flexibly and, in particular, with smaller available spaces, easily and flexibly.
- the at least one electrical cable is bent less during transport than when a single workpiece carrier is used. This means that the overall deflection is reduced by segmenting the workpiece carrier.
- the device has at least two consecutive workpiece carriers.
- the respective workpiece carrier forms a such a segment.
- the successive workpiece carriers can be steered relative to one another about parallel steering axes.
- the respective workpiece carrier has receptacles for the detachable reception of at least one electrical line, so that the at least one electrical line, hereinafter also referred to as line for short, is loose between the workpiece carriers and bends between the workpiece carriers when steering.
- the successive workpiece carriers can be steered relative to one another around an associated steering axis by means of the articulated connection.
- the steering axes associated with the different articulated connections run parallel to one another.
- the device is used to transport a cable set comprising at least two electrical cables.
- a cable set comprising at least two electrical cables.
- at least two of the electrical cables can be combined to form a cable set.
- the assembly of the at least two lines to form the cable harness takes place in the device using the receptacles of the workpiece carriers.
- the workpiece carriers serve both for assembling the cable harness and for transporting the cable harness.
- the device is used to transport the at least one line within a production plant, i.e. between different production stations of the production plant.
- a motor vehicle can be manufactured in the production plant, wherein the motor vehicle is provided with the at least one line, in particular with the cable set, in the production plant.
- the respective workpiece carrier has a coupling point at a first end and a counter-coupling point at a second end, so that successive workpiece carriers are connected to one another in an articulated manner by means of a first coupling point of one of the workpiece carriers and a counter-coupling point of the subsequent workpiece carrier. It is thus possible to equip the device with a different number of workpiece carriers in a modular manner as required. It is preferred if the articulated connection of the workpiece carriers, in particular the respective coupling point with the associated counter-coupling point, is detachable. This means that the same workpiece carrier can be used in the device as required, i.e. the device can be assembled in a modular manner as required and in a simple manner.
- the respective coupling point and the respective counter-coupling point can be designed as desired.
- the pin runs conveniently coaxially to the corresponding steering axis.
- the respective workpiece carrier has a main body to which the at least one associated receptacle is attached.
- the main bodies of the workpiece carriers are preferably identical, preferably designed as identical parts.
- the main body comprises the coupling point and the counter-coupling point.
- the device can thus be equipped with any number of consecutive workpiece carriers as required. This means that the same device can comprise more or fewer workpiece carriers as required, whereby this variable equipment of the device is implemented particularly easily and inexpensively due to the identical design of the main bodies, in particular the design of the main bodies as identical parts.
- the device preferably at least two of the workpiece carriers, preferably the respective workpiece carrier, advantageously has means which enable the workpiece carriers to be moved and thus the at least one line to be transported.
- the facility can, for example, be designed as a driverless transport system or as a rail system.
- the device is equipped with rollers and/or wheels so that the device can be moved along a surface.
- At least two of the workpiece carriers in particular the respective workpiece carrier, have wheels and/or rollers, so that the device can be moved across a surface by means of the wheels or rollers transversely to at least one steering axis. This makes it easy to transport the electrical cables.
- At least some of the receptacles are each designed as a fork with two legs.
- at least one of the workpiece carriers, preferably the respective workpiece carrier has at least one receptacle designed as such a fork.
- the legs serve to detachably hold at least one such line.
- the at least one line can thus be easily inserted into the receptacle and removed from the receptacle. This leads in particular to increased timing.
- Such a mount in particular such a fork, in one of the steering axles.
- a fork can be accommodated in such a sleeve.
- the fork replaces the pin, i.e. is rotatably accommodated in the sleeve.
- the respective workpiece carrier preferably has a receptacle, which is spaced apart from the articulated connection, for releasably fixing the at least one line.
- This receptacle thus fixes the at least one line locally and is spaced apart from the articulated connection. This means that the at least one line remains reliably in the workpiece carrier even when it is bent during steering. This means that this results in reliable transport of the at least one line.
- an arrangement of the device with at least one such line accommodated in the receptacles also belongs to the scope of this invention.
- the at least one line is accommodated in the receptacles of the workpiece carriers and extends over at least two of the consecutive workpiece carriers, so that the line is bent when steering between the workpiece carriers.
- Fig. 1 is an isometric view of an arrangement with a device and electrical lines
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the arrangement
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the arrangement when the device is in the controlled state.
- a device 1 as shown by way of example in the figures, is used in an arrangement 100 for transporting electrical cables 101.
- the device 1 is used purely by way of example for transporting a cable set 102 which comprises at least two such electrical cables 101.
- the device 1 has at least two consecutive workpiece carriers 2, which are connected to each other in an articulated manner, so that the workpiece carriers 2 are relatively can be steered to one another about parallel steering axes A.
- the device 1 has, purely by way of example and for the sake of simplicity, two such workpiece carriers 2 which are articulated to one another so that they can be steered relative to one another about an associated steering axis A.
- the respective workpiece carrier 2 has receptacles 3 for detachably receiving at least one such electrical line 101, hereinafter also referred to as line 101 for short.
- the lines 101 are loose between the workpiece carriers 2 so that the at least one line 101 can be bent in the area of the articulated connection (see Figures 2 and 3).
- Figures 1 and 2 show a state of the device 1 in which the workpiece carriers 2 are unguided relative to one another, i.e. follow one another along a straight line
- Figure 3 shows a state of the workpiece carriers 2 in which the workpiece carriers 2 are steered relative to one another about the associated steering axis A.
- the at least one line 101 in the embodiment shown the line set 102, is thus bent relative to one another when the workpiece carriers 2 are guided.
- the respective workpiece carrier 2 has a coupling point 4 at a first end and a counter-coupling point 5 at a second end, so that successive workpiece carriers 2 can be connected and articulated to one another by means of the coupling point 4 of one of the workpiece carriers 2 and the counter-coupling point 5 of the subsequent workpiece carrier 2.
- this articulated connection is detachable, with the respective coupling point 4 being designed as a pin 6 extending coaxially to the associated steering axis A and the respective counter-coupling point 5 being designed as a sleeve 7 that receives the pin 6 so that it can rotate about the steering axis A.
- the respective workpiece carrier 2 has a main body 8, to which the receptacles 3 of the associated workpiece carrier 2 are attached, and which has the coupling point 4 and the counter-coupling point 5
- the main bodies 8 of the workpiece carriers 2 are identical and identical parts 9.
- the respective workpiece carrier 2 in the embodiment shown, the respective main body 8, has wheels 10 or rollers 11.
- the wheels 10 or rollers 11 can be rotated about associated rolling axes running transversely to the steering axis A, so that the device 1 can be moved across a surface (not shown) transversely to at least one steering axis A by means of the wheels 10 or rollers 11.
- part of the receptacles 3 of the respective workpiece carrier 2 are designed as a fork 12 with two legs 13.
- the legs 13 detachably receive the at least one line 101.
- the respective sleeve 7 also receives such a receptacle 3 designed as a fork 12. It would be conceivable to replace the pin 6 with such a fork 12 (not shown).
- the respective workpiece carrier 2 in the embodiment shown also has a receptacle 3 spaced apart from the articulated connection, i.e. at least one from the coupling point 4 and counter-coupling point 5, for releasably fixing the at least one line 101.
- the lines 101 are thus fixed to the respective workpiece carrier 2 for the articulated connection and thus remain reliably in the workpiece carrier 2 even during movements.
