DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
annessa alla domanda di brevetto per invenzione industriale dal titolo: “APPARECCHIATURA AUTOMATICA PER IL CABLAGGIO DI QUADRI ELETTRICI” attached to the patent application for industrial invention entitled: "AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT FOR WIRING ELECTRICAL PANELS"
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato concerne un’apparecchiatura automatica per il cablaggio di quadri elettrici. The present invention relates to an automatic equipment for wiring electrical panels.
Posto che un quadro elettrico è l’insieme di una pluralità di componenti elettrici ed elettronici montati su di una piastra e reciprocamente collegati da fili elettrici in modo da trasmettere informazioni via cavo, l’operazione di cablaggio consiste in due fasi: posizionamento dei componenti sulla piastra e stesura dei fili elettrici che li collegano. Given that an electrical panel is the set of a plurality of electrical and electronic components mounted on a plate and mutually connected by electrical wires in order to transmit information via cable, the wiring operation consists of two phases: positioning of the components on the plate and laying of the electrical wires that connect them.
Di queste operazioni, la seconda occupa di gran lunga la maggior parte del tempo, stimabile tra l’80 ed il 90% del tempo necessario per completare l’intera lavorazione, in primis perché ad oggi queste attività sono eseguite manualmente. Of these operations, the second takes up by far most of the time, estimated at between 80 and 90% of the time required to complete the entire process, primarily because today these activities are performed manually.
Infatti, una volta distribuiti i componenti sulla piastra secondo lo schema di progetto, l’operatore provvede alla scelta del filo elettrico e ne decide la lunghezza, lo sigla in modo da distinguerlo da ognuno degli altri, e vi applica poi una terminazione metallica chiamata puntalino. In fact, once the components have been distributed on the plate according to the design scheme, the operator chooses the electric wire and decides its length, signs it so as to distinguish it from each of the others, and then applies a metal termination called ferrule. .
Così preparato il filo, l’operatore lo stende all’interno delle canaline per collegare i vari componenti. Once the wire has been prepared, the operator lays it inside the channels to connect the various components.
Sono peraltro note macchine che sono idonee ad eseguire singole operazioni tra quelle sopra descritte: macchine che provvedono alla scelta del filo, altre che ne eseguono la siglatura, altre ancora che applicano al filo il puntalino metallico; ma al loro uso non corrisponde un apprezzabile risparmio di tempo, poiché la stesura del filo è comunque demandata all’operatore. However, machines are known which are suitable for carrying out single operations among those described above: machines which select the thread, others which carry out its marking, still others which apply the metal ferrule to the thread; but their use does not correspond to an appreciable saving of time, since the laying of the wire is still left to the operator.
Oltre all’inconveniente legato ai tempi lunghi necessari per portare al termine il cablaggio di un quadro elettrico, va considerata anche la possibilità dell’errore umano dell’operatore che, pur avendo a disposizione il progetto, può compiere un qualsiasi errore di esecuzione. In addition to the inconvenience related to the long time required to complete the wiring of an electrical panel, the possibility of human error by the operator must also be considered who, despite having the project available, can make any execution error.
Lo scopo del presente trovato è pertanto quello di eliminare gli inconvenienti ora menzionati. The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
Il trovato, quale esso è caratterizzato dalle rivendicazioni, raggiunge lo scopo grazie ad un’apparecchiatura che consente di automatizzare la preparazione del filo elettrico e la sua stesura sul quadro, dopo che sono stati collocati su di esso i componenti e le canaline. The invention, as it is characterized by the claims, achieves the purpose thanks to an apparatus that allows to automate the preparation of the electric wire and its drafting on the panel, after the components and raceways have been placed on it.
Il principale vantaggio ottenuto mediante il presente trovato consiste essenzialmente nel fatto che vengono drasticamente ridotti sia i tempi di lavorazione, sia il rischio di errore umano. The main advantage obtained by means of the present invention essentially consists in the fact that both the processing times and the risk of human error are drastically reduced.
Inoltre, l’apparecchiatura consente di verificare il corretto posizionamento dei componenti e delle canaline in conformità al progetto costruttivo. In addition, the equipment allows you to check the correct positioning of the components and ducts in accordance with the construction project.
Ulteriori vantaggi e caratteristiche del trovato saranno maggiormente evidenti nella descrizione dettagliata che segue, fatta con riferimento ai disegni allegati, che ne rappresentano un esempio non limitativo di esecuzione, in cui: Further advantages and characteristics of the invention will be more evident in the detailed description that follows, made with reference to the attached drawings, which represent a non-limiting example of execution, in which:

Come si evince dalle figure, il trovato concerne un’apparecchiatura automatica per il cablaggio di un quadro elettrico, sul quale sono già stati posizionati componenti (c) e canaline (c’). Essa comprende mezzi di preparazione (1) di un filo (f) elettrico da stendere sul quadro (q), un braccio (2) motorizzato mobile almeno secondo due assi del piano, ma preferibilmente tre, cioè almeno quelli corrispondenti al piano del quadro (q), ed un software (3) atto a guidare il braccio (2) nella stesura del filo (f) secondo un progetto preimpostato. As can be seen from the figures, the invention concerns an automatic equipment for wiring an electrical panel, on which components (c) and raceways (c ') have already been positioned. It comprises means (1) for preparing an electric wire (f) to be laid on the switchboard (q), a motorized arm (2) movable along at least two axes of the plane, but preferably three, i.e. at least those corresponding to the plane of the switchboard ( q), and a software (3) able to guide the arm (2) in the laying of the thread (f) according to a pre-set project.
È prima di tutto necessario che il software sia implementato con il progetto del quadro (q), in modo che possa generarsi in automatico il linguaggio che governerà la movimentazione del braccio (2) motorizzato, nonché vengano acquisiti i dati necessari alle operazioni di preparazione del filo (f), la cui lavorazione avviene in linea, come in un processo di fabbricazione in serie. It is first of all necessary that the software be implemented with the design of the panel (q), so that the language that will govern the movement of the motorized arm (2) can be automatically generated, as well as the data necessary for the preparation of the wire (f), the processing of which takes place in line, as in a mass production process.
Come è rappresentato nelle figure 4 e 5, vari tipi di fili (f) elettrici si trovano avvolti in bobine (12) all’interno di una pluralità di alloggiamenti (11), mezzi di selezione (13) provvedono tra essi alla scelta del filo (f) da stendere secondo le specifiche di progetto, e mezzi di presa (14) del filo (f) scelto lo conducono attraverso tubi di teflon verso la zona di siglatura; qui si trovano i mezzi di siglatura (15) del filo (f), che preferibilmente comprendono uno svolgitore mobile (151) ed uno svolgitore fisso (152), atti a condurre il filo (f) nella posizione di siglatura, ed un emettitore (153) laser, atto ad incidere un codice sul filo (f). As shown in Figures 4 and 5, various types of electric wires (f) are wound in coils (12) inside a plurality of housings (11), selection means (13) between them select the wire (f) to be spread according to the project specifications, and means (14) for gripping the selected wire (f) lead it through Teflon tubes towards the marking area; here are the marking means (15) of the thread (f), which preferably comprise a mobile unwinder (151) and a fixed unwinder (152), adapted to lead the thread (f) into the marking position, and an emitter ( 153) laser, designed to engrave a code on the wire (f).
A questo punto, il filo (f) viene condotto verso una stazione in cui si trovano dei mezzi di applicazione (16) di un puntalino (p) metallico ad almeno un’estremità (f1; f2) del filo (f), rappresentata in figura 7. I mezzi di applicazione (16) comprendono un elemento tagliente (161), ad esempio una lama, atto a spellare il filo (f) ad almeno un’estremità (f1; f2), un caricatore (163) multiplo provvisto di vari tipi di puntalini (p), mezzi di selezione (162) del puntalino (p) da applicare al filo (f) in base alle caratteristiche del filo (f) stesso, mezzi di inserimento (164) dell’estremità (f1; f2) spellata del filo (f) all’interno del puntalino (p) selezionato, mezzi di serraggio (165) del puntalino (p) sul filo (f). E’ preferibile che i mezzi di applicazione (16) comprendano anche mezzi di rotazione (166) dell’elemento tagliente (161), in modo da poter applicare un puntalino (p) ad entrambe le estremità (f1; f2) del filo (f). At this point, the wire (f) is led to a station in which there are means (16) for applying a metal ferrule (p) to at least one end (f1; f2) of the wire (f), represented in figure 7. The application means (16) comprise a cutting element (161), for example a blade, able to strip the wire (f) at at least one end (f1; f2), a multiple magazine (163) provided with various types of ferrules (p), means for selecting (162) the ferrule (p) to be applied to the thread (f) based on the characteristics of the thread (f) itself, means for inserting (164) the end (f1; f2 ) stripped of the wire (f) inside the selected ferrule (p), clamping means (165) of the ferrule (p) on the wire (f). It is preferable that the application means (16) also include rotation means (166) of the cutting element (161), so as to be able to apply a ferrule (p) to both ends (f1; f2) of the wire (f ).
Il filo (f) viene quindi spinto verso il braccio (2) motorizzato, visibile nelle figure 2 e 3, che, guidato dal software (3), inizia a stendere il filo (f) a partire da un componente (c) attraverso una o più canaline (c’). The wire (f) is then pushed towards the motorized arm (2), visible in figures 2 and 3, which, guided by the software (3), begins to lay the wire (f) starting from a component (c) through a or more raceways (c ').
È preferibile che l’apparecchiatura (10) comprenda anche mezzi di visualizzazione (4) del quadro (q), ad esempio una videocamera (41) solidale al braccio (2) ed un monitor (42), atti a verificare il corretto posizionamento di componenti (c) e canaline (c’) prima di iniziare la preparazione del filo (f), ed a cooperare con il software (3) nella stesura del filo (f) stesso, ad esempio consentendo di aggiustare la posizione del braccio (2) al momento di inserire il filo (f) in una feritoia di una canalina (c’) o evidenziando movimenti non corretti del braccio (2) stesso. It is preferable that the apparatus (10) also comprises display means (4) of the panel (q), for example a video camera (41) integral with the arm (2) and a monitor (42), suitable for verifying the correct positioning of components (c) and raceways (c ') before starting the preparation of the wire (f), and to cooperate with the software (3) in the drafting of the wire (f) itself, for example allowing to adjust the position of the arm (2 ) when inserting the wire (f) in a slot in a duct (c ') or highlighting incorrect movements of the arm (2) itself.
