Definitions

  • the invention concerns a bending tool for bending electrical pin contacts, with a bending side for transmitting a bending force to at least one pin contact.
  • the invention also concerns a bending device for bending electrical pin contacts.
  • the invention also concerns a method for bending ⁇ l ⁇ Ctrical pin contacts, wherein a bending tool is moved relative to a pin contact, and at a contact point with the pin contact, a bending force is introduced into the pin contact.
  • Bending tools, devices and methods of the above-mentioned kind are known in the prior art. Using them, for instance, pin or plug-in contacts are bent into plug-in connectors, so that they can be inserted into printed circuit boards with a bent section. In the printed circuit boards, the pin contacts contact tracks.
  • the pin contacts are usually plated with tin or other platings (e.g., in particular, nickel in the case of press-in contacts).
  • the short circuits are expensive because the causes are difficult to determine, i.e. the metallic particles resulting from the abrasion are difficult to find, so that repair of the affected electrical system is expensive.
  • the short circuits can also appear as timing faults, which make searching for the fault difficult. If the cause of the fault cannot be clearly determined, the components which are affected by the short circuit may have to be completely replaced.
  • the invention is based on the object of making gentle bending of the pin contacts possible, and avoiding damage to and abrasion of the surface of the pin contacts, using the above-mentioned bending tool, bending device and bending method.
  • this object is achieved by the bending side being received movably on the bending tool.
  • the object is achieved by the bending device having a bending tool according to the invention.
  • the object is achieved by the relative movements between the bending tool and the pin contact in the contact point being at least partly compensated for by a movement of the bending side relative to the bending tool.
  • a bending tool it can be provided that the bending side is rotatably received on the bending tool.

  • the bending side, or the component in the form of the bending edge can be formed to correspond to the appropriate requirements, and made of an advantageous material.
  • the bending edge can be, for example, a carbide rod, or consist of carbide at least in sections.
  • Carbide encourages rolling up the bending side on the pin contact, because the carbide causes less friction because of its hardness and surface density.
  • the carbide is also more durable than the feature which forms the other sections of the bending tool, and suitable for lasting use of the bending tool.
  • the carbide rod in the form of a bending edge can also be easily exchanged if it is damaged and no longer suitable for a proper bending process.

  • the bending edge can be inserted into the receptacle in a transverse direction of the bending tool, ensuring that the bending edge is held and supported in the lateral and vertical directions, which form the working directions of the bending tool.
  • the receptacle is formed of at least one fitting element, which holds the bending edge so that it can rotate around a longitudinal axis of the bending edge, and secures it against slipping in the transverse direction.
  • An outer contour of the bending edge can be fitted precisely to the fitting element, and the bending edge can thus easily be inserted into the bending tool.
  • the position-determining elements are of eyelet-like form, and the bending edge runs through openings of the position-determining elements.
  • the bending edge and the bending side formed on it can rotate in the position-determining elements.
  • the rotation of the bending edge is made easier, in particular, by the bending edge having a circular cross-section.
  • a radius of the bending edge can be 0.75 millimetres or in a range between 0.5 and 2.0 millimetres.
  • the bending edge can be used for relatively small and narrow pin contacts. In the case of larger pin contacts, rotation of the bending edge can easily be made possible by putting it into ball bearings or roller bearings, but implementation of these is possible only with difficulty given the existing small diameters of the bending edge or carbide rod.
  • the friction between the bending side and the pin contact can be further reduced by the bending side being provided at least in sections with a sliding plating.
  • the sliding plating can have the advantageous properly of a Vickers hardness of 2,000 to 3,500 HV.
  • the sliding plating encourages easy, gentle rolling up of the bending edge in the bending tool and on the pin contact.
  • a tool carrier for the bending tool is movably supported on a bearing element via a supporting element in a guide, a guide angle of the guide being in adjustable form.
  • a movement curve of the bending side can be optimally adjusted to a bending radius of a bent or curved section of the pin contacts, and friction between the bending side and the pin contacts can be avoided.

  • the plating can have a Vickers hardness of 2,000 to 3,500 HV.
  • the bending device 1 instead of being implemented with a mechanical control of the course of the curve of the bending edge 25 and bending side 25a in the movement plane B in the form of a mechanical drive device 6 and the mechanical guide 54, could also be implemented with electrical servo or stepping motors in an X-Y arrangement.
  • the supporting element 10 can be attached to the drive device 6 and supported on a bearing element
  • the vertical guide 18 for the holding tool 4 can be implemented pneumatically or by other commonly used drives. However, a pneumatic drive is advantageous because with it the greatest possible holding forces acting in the Y direction can be exerted on the pin contacts 3.
  • the shape of the workpiece holder 22 and its holding element 20 and the supporting element 24 of the workpiece holder 22 can be adapted in any way to the relevant bending task.
  • the outer contour of the position-determining elements 27 can be adapted so that the bending-position-determining elements 27 hold the pin contacts 3 in the bending positions 28, undamaged and with small deviations in the transverse direction Z.
  • the marginal area 29 of the bending tool can be formed and tapered in any way, so that the bending edge 25 can be guided optimally along the bent section 38 of the pin contacts 3.
  • Fitting elements 33 which are formed as bearings for the bending edge 25 which is received rotatably on the marginal area 29 of the bending tool 2a, 2b, can be adapted to the relevant requirements for rotatable support of the bending edge 25

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un outil de cintrage (2a, 2b) pour cintrer des contacts à broche électriques (3) qui comporte un côté de cintrage (25a) pour transmettre une force de cintrage à au moins un contact à broche (3). La présente invention concerne également un dispositif de cintrage (1) qui reçoit l’outil de cintrage (2a, 2b), et un procédé pour cintrer des contacts à broche électriques (3), un outil de cintrage (2a, 2b) étant déplacé par rapport à un contact à broche (3), et, à un point de contact (61) avec le contact à broche (3), introduisant une force de cintrage dans le contact à broche (3). Pour cintrer des contacts à broche (3) en douceur et pour éviter l’abrasion de particules métalliques à partir des contacts à broche (3), selon l’invention, le côté de cintrage (25a) est prévu pour être reçu de façon mobile sur l’outil de cintrage (2a, 2b), et ainsi des mouvements relatifs entre l’outil de cintrage (2a, 2b) et le contact à broche (3) dans le point de contact (61) sont au moins partiellement compensés.
