Definitions
- the invention relates to a crimping tool for crimping crimp contacts, in particular crimp contacts fed in tape form to the crimping tool, with a pressing device and a feeding device for feeding the crimping contacts to the pressing device, the feeding device having a pushing element and means for moving the pushing element back and forth.
- Crimping tools of the type in question have long been known in practice and exist in a wide variety of embodiments.
- the known crimping tools are designed for efficient processing of crimp contacts in tape form, in longitudinal or transverse transport, or for sortable individual contacts.
- the known crimping tools are often designed as quick-change tools and can be used on individual workstations or fully automatic machines and transfer lines.
- the processing of electrical conductors with a cross-sectional area of approximately 0.08 mm 2 - 50 mm 2 is possible.
- a crimping tool of the type mentioned is known for example from DE 197 50 770 A1.
- the known crimping tool has a feed device with a thrust element, which feeds the crimp contacts of the pressing device and in particular a crimping die to the pressing device via a feed finger arranged on the push element.
- the feed device has means for moving the push element back and forth.
- the means comprise a pneumatic drive which has two aligned and touching piston rods or one piston rod.
- the piston rods are movable relative to a common cylinder which is formed in the thrust element. The piston rods remain during the usual reciprocating movement of the thrust element _.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a crimping tool of the type mentioned at the outset, in which a reliable supply of crimp contacts to the pressing device is made possible with structurally simple means.
- the above object is achieved by a crimping tool with the features of claim 1.
- the crimping tool in question is designed such that the means for moving the pushing element back and forth have two cylinder-piston arrangements which are independent of one another.
- each cylinder-piston arrangement is assigned a separate cylinder, which has the advantage that the size of the bottom surface of the cylinder, which is essential for power transmission, is not limited by any components.
- a significantly greater thrust force can be generated for the thrust element. Consequently, a crimping tool is realized with the crimping tool according to the invention, in which a safe supply of crimped contact products to the pressing device is made possible with structurally simple means.
- the thrust element could be guided through the two cylinder-piston arrangements at the same time. This would prevent the pushing element from tilting relative to the Pressein direction.
- a particularly stable movement of the thrust element could be ensured by arranging the main axes of the cylinder-piston arrangements on one line. This would prevent tilting moments of the thrust element relative to the feed device and press device.
- the main axis of the cylinder-piston arrangement runs centrally and in the longitudinal direction of the piston and the cylinder.
- the main axes of the cylinder-piston arrangements could be arranged offset to one another.
- the cylinder-piston arrangements could be arranged partially parallel to one another.
- one of the cylinder-piston arrangements could be arranged in the lower region and the other cylinder-piston arrangement in the upper region of the thrust element.
- the cylinder-piston arrangements could thus be arranged one above the other.
- the pistons of the cylinder-piston arrangements could have piston rods.
- the thrust element could be guided on the piston or on the piston rods.
- the cylinders of the cylinder-piston arrangement openings in the thrust element. It is conceivable that the cylinders are formed as recesses in the thrust element. Different thrust forces may be required for the back and forth movement of the thrust element. In particular for the movement of the pushing element directed towards the pressing device, which ensures the supply of the crimp contacts, a higher pushing force than for the movement away from the pressing device could be required. Accordingly, the cylinder-piston arrangement for the movement of the thrust element towards the pressing device could have a larger diameter than the other cylinder-piston arrangement. This could show up in the diameter of the piston and the cylinder.
- At least one guide element could be provided for the push element.
- the guide element could be a rod running through a passage in the thrust element.
- the rod could essentially be arranged between the two cylinder-piston arrangements as required. However, an arrangement above or below or to the side of the two cylinder-piston arrangements is also conceivable.
- the guide element could perform a double function in that it is designed on the one hand to guide the push element and on the other hand to supply a flowable medium.
- the guide element or the rod could be designed with a channel or tubular in order to supply a cylinder-piston arrangement with a flowable medium.
- a cylinder-piston arrangement or both cylinder-piston arrangements could be supplied with a flowable medium.
- Compressed air is preferably used as the flowable medium.
- other liquid or gaseous media such as oil are also conceivable.
- the cylinder-piston arrangements could be supplied with a flowable medium can be regulated via a control unit.
- the control unit could have a valve system which appropriately supplies the medium originating from a source to the cylinder-piston arrangements.
- the pistons or the piston rods could be tubular in order to guide a flowable medium into the respective cylinder.
- control unit could be functionally coupled to the pressing device; that is, the control unit and thus the movement of the thrust element are controlled in accordance with the working position of the pressing device.
- the work process of the pressing device is coupled with the supply process for the crimp contacts.
- the coupling could take place via the movement of the crimping die of the pressing device, which moves the control unit via a cam.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of the embodiment of a crimping tool according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 in a front view, partially in section, the thrust element on the right and the connecting part for the thrust element of the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 1 on the left
- Fig. 3 in a front view, partially in section, the main body of the
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 in a side view, partially in section, above the base body and below the control unit of the embodiment from FIG. 1.
- the crimping tool has a press device 1 and a feed device 2 for feeding the crimp contacts to the press device 1.
- the feed device 2 has a thrust element 3 and means 4 for moving the thrust element 3 back and forth.
- the means 4 for moving the pushing element 3 back and forth comprise two mutually independent cylinder-piston arrangements 5, 6, which enable a secure supply of crimp contacts to the pressing device 1 with structurally simple means.
- the crimping tool also has a base body 7, to which the pressing device 1 and the feed device 2 are assigned.
- the Pressein device 1 has a crimping die 8 which is movable in the vertical direction.
- the movement of the thrust element 3 is limited by two stops 9.
- the stops 9 are formed by knurled nuts, which are arranged on a threaded rod 10, which also serves to guide the thrust element 3.
- a rod 11 is provided which is tubular in order to supply the cylinder-piston arrangement 6 with compressed air.
- the compressed air is passed through the base body 7, the rod 11, a connecting part 12, and the tubular piston of the cylinder-piston arrangement 6 into the cylinder of the cylinder-piston arrangement 6.
- the cylinder-piston arrangement 5 is supplied with the flowable medium via the base body 7 and the piston of the cylinder-piston arrangement 5, which can be tubular or with a channel.
- both pistons and / or piston rods of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 can be tubular or with a corresponding channel for the flowable medium. This enables light an elegant supply of the medium into the respective cylinders of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6.
- Figure 2 shows a partially sectioned front view in the right area of the figure, the thrust element 3 and in the left area of the figure, the connecting part 12 for the thrust element 3.
- the arrangement of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 can be seen particularly well.
- the main axes 13 of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 are arranged offset from one another.
- the pistons of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 each have a piston rod 14.
- the cylinders 15 of the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 are formed in the thrust element 3.
- the upper cylinder-piston arrangement 5 is dimensioned smaller or has a smaller diameter than the cylinder-piston arrangement 6 in the lower region of the thrust element 3. This ensures that sufficient force for the crimp contacts in the feed direction to the pressing device 1 Rolling the crimp contacts from their role is provided.
- the thrust element 3 has passages 16 for guide elements.
- the rod 11 from FIG. 1 is guided through the central passage 16, for example.
- Figure 3 shows a partially sectioned front view of the base body 7 of the embodiment of Figure 1.
- the pressing device 1 is shown without the crimping die 8 and the feed device 2 without the thrust element 3.
- the rod 11 extends into the base body 7, where it with a Control unit for controlling the supply of the flowable medium is coupled.
- WO 01/13474 g. PCT / DE
- a further guide rod 18 is arranged in the lower region of the base body 7.
- Figure 4 shows a partially sectioned side view above the base body 7 and below the control unit 19 in detail.
- the arrangement of the control unit 19 in the base body 7 can be seen in the illustration of the base body 7.
- Compressed air is supplied to the control unit 19 via a compressed air connection 20, which is then supplied to the cylinder-piston arrangements 5 and 6 in accordance with the working position of the crimping die 8.
- the control unit 19 is controlled via a cam 21 which can be moved via the crimping die 8.
- the control unit 19 of the crimping tool is shown in detail in the lower part of FIG.
- the arrangement of the control unit 19 in the base body 7 is designated by the letter X.
