Referring to the drawing, and initially to Figs. 1 to 9, there is illustrated an apparatus indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 for producing lengths 2 of a coded plastics cable. The apparatus 1 includes supply cable guide means 3, cable straightening means 4 for straightening the supply cable and infeed cable guide means 5 for guiding the straightened cable. A cable supporting roller 6 supports the guided straightened cable and printing means includes an ink jet printing head 7 provided adjacent the cable supporting roller 6. The operation of the printing head 7 is controlled by a control means 10 which outputs a printing signal along a line 11. A code is printed on a cable at preset locations on the cable when the cable travels over the cable supporting roller 6. Rotation of the cable supporting roller 6 is detected by a sensing means provided by an encoder 15.
The apparatus also includes cable tensioning means provided by a jockey pulley 25 rotatably mounted on an arm 26 which is pivotally mounted at 27 to a support stand 28.
The arm 26 is biased by a biasing means which in this case is provided by a coil spring 30 extending between the arm 26 and a fixed point on the support 28. The apparatus also includes outfeed cable guide means provided by an out feed guide roller 35 for guiding the printed cable to a cutting means indicated schematically at 36 which cuts the printing cable to desired lengths 2. Lengths 2 of cut cable of desired length are discharged into a receiving trough 55. Cable pulling means (not shown) associated with the cutting means 26 draw the cable through the cable supply guide 30 and over the cable supporting roller 6.
In more detail, and referring particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, the cable supply guide means 3 is provided by a guide drum 40 over which cable is led from a supply drum 41.
The cable is wound around a core in the supply drum 41 and is drawn from the drum 41 over an overhead guide wheel 43.
The cable straightening means 4 comprises a plurality of spaced-apart straightening wheels 45 over which cable is led to straighten the cable by unravelling the "history" of the cable from the supply drum 41.
Referring particularly to Figs. 4 to 7, both the infeed and outfeed cable guide rollers 5,35 are mounted for free rotation and have a guide groove through which the cable is led. A further guide roller 9 is provided between the infeed guide roller 5 and the tensioning jockey pulley 25.
It will be noted particularly from Fig. 6 that the cable supporting roller 6 is fast on a shaft 50 which also carries a gear wheel 51. The encoder 15 monitors the rotation of the cable supporting roller 6 by monitoring the rotation of the gear wheel 51. The cable supporting roller 6 rotates as the cable is pulled through the apparatus. The encoder 15 communicates with the control means 10 along a control cable 53 and the control means 10 provides an output signal to the ink jet printer 7 to print a desired code on the cable at desired locations along the length of the cable as it is drawn over the supporting roller 6.
Referring to Figs. 10 and 11, there is illustrated an alternative construction of printing apparatus which is similar to the apparatus described above and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals.
In this case, a non-return means 70 is provided on the upstream side of the cable supporting roller 6 to substantially prevent rearward movement of the cable.
The non-return means 70 comprises a pair of jaws 71 between which a cable is led. The jaws 71 are biased into an engaging position to engage a cable, the jaws 71 being released as a cable is drawn through the jaws 71 in a forward direction and being locked to the cable to prevent rearward movement of the cable between the jaws. In this case, the cable supporting roller 6 drives a pulley wheel 75 which in turn drives a pulley belt 76 driving another pulley wheel 77. The encoder 15 monitors the movement of the pulley wheel 77 to operate the printer as described above.
Referring to Figs. 12 to 14, there is illustrated an alternative construction of cutting apparatus 80 and delivery trough 81 for receiving lengths of cut cable.
The cable cutting means 80 includes a guide tube 85 through which a cable is led and a wire sensing means 86 for detecting the presence of wire in the tube 85. In more detail, and referring to Fig. 14 in this case the guide tube 85 comprises an infeed end 88, an intermediate section 89 and an outfeed end 90. To reduce the heat generated as cable is allowed through the guide tube 85 and hence possible distortion of the cable, both the infeed end 88 and the outfeed end 90 are separately formed of a heat dissipating metallic material such as aluminium.
The ends 88,90 are keyed to the intermediate section 89 by a keying mechanism and are locked into position by locking screws 91,92 respectively.
The cut lengths of cable formed using the apparatus and method described above are arranged into different groups and terminals are fitted to some of the stripped ends of the cables as required. Some of these terminals are then put into housings or connectors and a plurality of the cables are made up in a desired circuit layout. Some of the cables may then be soldered together and groups of the cables within a harness thus formed may be braided in a nylon knit braid. To assist braiding, a tape may be applied at the lay up stage to indicate those sections of the cable groups that are to be braided in the harness.
The invention provides an integrated system for producing coded printed cable in a highly efficient manner so that printed cable of desired lengths may be provided to produce wiring harnesses in a highly efficient manner.
Many variations on the specific embodiment of the invention described will be readily apparent and accordingly, the invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in both construction and detail.
