Description

端子金具製造装置および端子金具製造方法Terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus and terminal metal fitting manufacturing method
　本発明は、端子金具を製造する端子金具製造装置、およびこのような端子金具製造装置を用いた端子金具製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a terminal fitting, and a terminal fitting manufacturing method using such a terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus.
　従来より、コネクタの製造工程は、一般に、金属板をプレス加工して端子金具を成型する「スタンピング工程」と、スタンピング工程でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子にめっき処理を施す「めっき処理工程」と、端子金具を収めるハウジングを成型する「モールディング工程」と、めっき処理工程でめっき処理が施された端子金具とモールディング工程で成型されたハウジングとを組み立てて最終製品であるコネクタを得る「組立工程」とからなる。 Conventionally, the connector manufacturing process generally includes a “stamping process” in which a metal plate is pressed to form a terminal fitting, and a chained terminal formed by molding the terminal fitting in the stamping process is plated. The final product is the assembly of the “plating process” to be performed, the “molding process” for molding the housing for housing the terminal fitting, the terminal fitting that has been plated in the plating process and the housing that has been molded in the molding process. It consists of an “assembly process” for obtaining a connector.
　図３は、従来のコネクタの製造方法を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a conventional method for manufacturing a connector.
　図３に示すように、従来のコネクタの製造方法における各工程は、それぞれ独立した工程である。また、各工程のコストを低減させるために、時間当たりの生産数量が各工程で異なる。そのため、各工程を経る毎に仕掛品として一旦梱包され、その仕掛品が次工程で効率的な生産が可能となる量に達するまで保管される、いわゆる「バッチ方式」によりコネクタが生産されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, each process in the conventional connector manufacturing method is an independent process. Moreover, in order to reduce the cost of each process, the production quantity per hour differs in each process. For this reason, connectors are produced by the so-called “batch method” in which each work is once packed as a work in progress and stored until the work in progress reaches an amount that enables efficient production in the next process. .
　ここで、端子金具の「プレス加工工程」および「接点形成工程（金属性インキを塗布してレーザ照射により定着させる工程）」を連続したラインで行う端子金具製造方法が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。 Here, a terminal fitting manufacturing method is proposed in which the “pressing process” and the “contact formation process (step of applying metallic ink and fixing by laser irradiation)” of the terminal fitting are performed in a continuous line (for example, (See Patent Document 1).
特開２００８－２１０６５０号公報JP 2008-210650 A
　上述した「バッチ方式」は、コネクタの需要が大きく安定していれば好適な生産方式である。しかしながら、コネクタはモデルチェンジが早く多品種少量生産が要求されるものである。「バッチ方式」によるコネクタ生産では、工程間で「仕掛品の移動」が必要であり、「仕掛品在庫」が多く、「仕掛品を一旦保管しておくためのスペース」が必要であり、「生産管理が煩雑」である、などといった欠点がある。そのため、「製造コストを低減」したり、「リードタイムを短縮」することが困難である。 The “batch method” described above is a suitable production method if the demand for connectors is large and stable. However, connectors require rapid model change and require a variety of low-volume production. “Batch method” connector production requires “work in process transfer” between processes, “work in process inventory” is large, and “space to temporarily store work in process” is required. There are drawbacks such as "complex production management". For this reason, it is difficult to “reduce manufacturing costs” or “shorten lead time”.
　また、特許文献１に提案された端子金具製造方法は、「プレス加工工程」および「接点形成工程」を連続したラインで行うとされている。しかし、この特許文献１の段落［００１９］に、銅板をプレス加工して所定の展開形状に打ち抜く工程とインキ塗布工程との間に、「ショート端子が、リードフレームに複数のショート端子が連続的に連なる端子リールとして形成される」工程が存在することが記載されている。すなわち、「プレス加工工程」と「接点形成工程」との間に、端子を巻き取る「端子リール形成工程」が存在することが明記されている。従って、特許文献１に提案された端子金具製造方法では、「プレス加工工程」直後の「端子巻き取り工程」を省略することができない。そのため、特許文献１に提案された端子金具製造方法では、「製造コストを低減」したり、「リードタイムを短縮」することが困難である。 Also, the terminal metal fitting manufacturing method proposed in Patent Document 1 is said to perform the “pressing process” and the “contact formation process” on a continuous line. However, in paragraph [0019] of this Patent Document 1, “a short terminal is continuously formed between a lead frame and a plurality of short terminals between a step of stamping a copper plate into a predetermined developed shape and an ink application step. It is described that there is a process of “formed as a terminal reel that is connected to the device”. That is, it is specified that there is a “terminal reel forming process” for winding a terminal between the “pressing process” and the “contact forming process”. Therefore, in the terminal metal fitting manufacturing method proposed in Patent Document 1, the “terminal winding process” immediately after the “pressing process” cannot be omitted. Therefore, in the terminal metal fitting manufacturing method proposed in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to “reduce the manufacturing cost” or “reduce the lead time”.
　本発明は、上記事情に鑑み、コストが低減されるとともに、リードタイムが短縮され、仕掛品の在庫をなくす端子金具製造装置、およびこのような端子金具製造装置を用いた端子金具製造方法を提供することを目的とするものである。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus that reduces costs, leads to a shortened lead time, and eliminates inventory of work in progress, and a terminal metal fitting manufacturing method using such a terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus. It is intended to do.
　上記目的を達成する本発明の端子金具製造装置は、
　金属板を搬送する第１搬送部を有し、この金属板をその第１搬送部で搬送しながらプレス加工して端子金具に成型するスタンピング部と、
　上記スタンピング部よりも搬送方向下流側に配備され、上記スタンピング部でのプレス加工により上記端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子を上記第１搬送部から受け取って搬送する、上記第１搬送部による搬送速度に同期した搬送速度の第２搬送部を有し、上記第１搬送部から受け取った上記連鎖状端子をその第２搬送部で搬送しながらめっき処理するめっき処理部とを備えたことを特徴とする。 The terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus of the present invention that achieves the above object is
A stamping unit that has a first conveying unit that conveys the metal plate, presses the metal plate while being conveyed by the first conveying unit, and is molded into a terminal fitting;
By the first transport unit, which is disposed downstream of the stamping unit in the transport direction, and receives and transports the chained terminal formed by the terminal fitting by pressing at the stamping unit from the first transport unit. A second transport unit having a transport speed synchronized with the transport speed, and a plating processing unit that performs plating while transporting the chained terminal received from the first transport unit by the second transport unit. Features.
　本発明の端子金具製造装置は、連鎖状端子を第２搬送部で搬送しながらめっき処理するめっき処理部の第２搬送部が、金属板を第１搬送部で搬送しながらプレス加工して端子金具を成型するスタンピング部の第１搬送部から受け取った連鎖状端子を搬送するものである、すなわち、スタンピング部から出てくる連鎖状端子を直接めっき処理部へ送りめっき処理を施すものである。従って、スタンピング部でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子を一旦巻き取ったり、その連鎖状端子を仕掛品として一旦梱包して保管するといったことが不要である。そのため、本発明の端子金具製造装置によれば、「スタンピング部でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子（仕掛品）の在庫」が削減され、「スタンピング部でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子を一旦保管しておくためのスペース」が不要であり、「生産管理が容易」である。従って、本発明の端子金具製造装置によれば、「製造コストが低減」されるとともに、「リードタイムが短縮」される。 In the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the second conveying part of the plating processing part that performs plating while conveying the chained terminal by the second conveying part is subjected to press processing while conveying the metal plate by the first conveying part. The chained terminal received from the first transport unit of the stamping unit for molding the metal fitting is transported, that is, the chained terminal coming out of the stamping unit is directly sent to the plating processing unit to perform the plating process. Therefore, it is not necessary to temporarily wind up the chained terminal formed by molding the terminal fitting by pressing at the stamping section, or to pack and store the chained terminal as a work in progress. Therefore, according to the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the “stock of chained terminals (work-in-process) in which terminal fittings are molded by stamping at the stamping part” is reduced, and “by stamping at the stamping part. The space for temporarily storing the chained terminals formed by molding the terminal fittings is unnecessary, and “production management is easy”. Therefore, according to the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, “the manufacturing cost is reduced” and “the lead time is shortened”.
　ここで、従来のスタンピング部は、他の工程から独立した工程である。また、従来のめっき処理部は、他の工程から独立した電気化学処理工程である。このような従来のめっき処理部における搬送速度は、効率的な生産を実現するために、独立した工程である従来のスタンピング部における搬送速度よりも速いのが一般的である。これに対して本発明の端子金具製造装置は、めっき処理部の第２搬送部による搬送速度が、スタンピング部の第１搬送部による搬送速度に同期した搬送速度である。すなわち、本発明の端子金具製造装置におけるめっき処理部における搬送速度は、独立した工程である従来のめっき処理部における搬送速度よりも遅い搬送速度である。従って、本発明の端子金具製造装置によれば、独立した工程である従来のめっき処理部よりも小型化されためっき処理部を実現することができる。そして、めっき処理部の小型化により、例えば設置スペースの削減やライン調整およびセットアップ作業時間の短縮やめっき液の削減等を図ることができる。さらに、本発明の端子金具製造装置によれば、めっき処理部における搬送速度が従来よりも遅い搬送速度であることから、めっき液の水洗工程における貴金属の持ち出しが少なく、トータルランニングコストが低減できる。 Here, the conventional stamping unit is a process independent of other processes. Moreover, the conventional plating process part is an electrochemical process process independent of other processes. In order to realize efficient production, the conveyance speed in such a conventional plating processing unit is generally faster than the conveyance speed in the conventional stamping unit which is an independent process. On the other hand, in the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the conveyance speed by the second conveyance unit of the plating processing unit is a conveyance speed synchronized with the conveyance speed by the first conveyance unit of the stamping unit. That is, the conveyance speed in the plating process part in the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus of this invention is a conveyance speed slower than the conveyance speed in the conventional plating process part which is an independent process. Therefore, according to the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus of this invention, the metal-plating process part reduced in size rather than the conventional metal-plating process part which is an independent process is realizable. By reducing the size of the plating processing unit, for example, installation space can be reduced, line adjustment and setup work time can be reduced, and plating solution can be reduced.

　図１は、本発明の一実施形態である端子金具製造装置１００の概略構成図である。 FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
　図１に示す端子金具製造装置１００は、スタンピング部１１０と、めっき処理部１２０とから構成されている。 The terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a stamping unit 110 and a plating processing unit 120.
　スタンピング部１１０は、リール状に巻き取られた長尺の金属板２００を引き出し、引き出した金属板２００を、金属板２００の長手方向に搬送する第１搬送部１１１を有する。このスタンピング部１１０は、金属板２００を第１搬送部１１１で搬送しながらプレス加工して端子金具に成型するものである。第１搬送部１１１による搬送速度は、スタンピング部１１０で成型する端子金具の形状にもよるが、一般に、毎分１－３ｍである。尚、このスタンピング部１１０は、例えばアンカ３００等により設置面に固定されている。 The stamping unit 110 includes a first transport unit 111 that pulls out a long metal plate 200 wound in a reel shape and transports the pulled metal plate 200 in the longitudinal direction of the metal plate 200. The stamping unit 110 is formed by pressing the metal plate 200 while being transported by the first transport unit 111 to form a terminal fitting. The conveyance speed by the first conveyance unit 111 is generally 1-3 m / min, although it depends on the shape of the terminal fitting molded by the stamping unit 110. The stamping unit 110 is fixed to the installation surface by an anchor 300 or the like, for example.
　めっき処理部１２０は、スタンピング部１１０よりも搬送方向下流側であってスタンピング部１１０に隣接して配備されている。また、このめっき処理部１２０は、スタンピング部１１０でのプレス加工により成型された多数の端子金具がキャリア（図示せず）に連結されてなる連鎖状端子（ストリップターミナル）２１０を第１搬送部１１１から受け取って搬送する第２搬送部１２１を有する。そして、この第２搬送部１２１による搬送速度は、第１搬送部１１１による搬送速度に同期した搬送速度である。このめっき処理部１２０は、第１搬送部１１１から受け取った連鎖状端子２１０を第２搬送部１２１で搬送しながらめっき液１２２に浸してめっき処理するものである。具体的には、このめっき処理は、例えば、めっき液１２２に浸された連鎖状端子２１０に電流を流し、電気分解によってめっき液１２２中の金属イオンを連鎖状端子２１０の表面に析出させる、いわゆる電気めっきによるめっき処理である。 The plating unit 120 is disposed downstream of the stamping unit 110 in the transport direction and adjacent to the stamping unit 110. In addition, the plating processing unit 120 includes a chain terminal (strip terminal) 210 in which a large number of terminal fittings molded by pressing in the stamping unit 110 are connected to a carrier (not shown). A second transport unit 121 that receives and transports the first transport unit. The transport speed by the second transport unit 121 is a transport speed synchronized with the transport speed by the first transport unit 111. The plating processing unit 120 performs the plating process by immersing the chained terminal 210 received from the first transport unit 111 in the plating solution 122 while transporting it by the second transport unit 121. Specifically, in this plating process, for example, a current is passed through the chain terminal 210 immersed in the plating solution 122, and metal ions in the plating solution 122 are deposited on the surface of the chain terminal 210 by electrolysis. It is a plating process by electroplating.
　また、めっき処理部１２０は、スタンピング部１１０に分離および結合が自在なものであって、移動のためのキャスタ１２３を備えている。そのため、めっき処理部１２０をスタンピング部１１０から分離して、他のスタンピング部（図示せず）に結合することができる。 Further, the plating unit 120 can be separated and combined with the stamping unit 110, and includes a caster 123 for movement. Therefore, the plating unit 120 can be separated from the stamping unit 110 and coupled to another stamping unit (not shown).
　また、このめっき処理部１２０は、高さ調整部１２４および搬送速度調整部１２５を有している。 In addition, the plating processing unit 120 includes a height adjustment unit 124 and a conveyance speed adjustment unit 125.
　めっき処理部１２０の高さ調整部１２４は、スタンピング部１１０に結合したときのスタンピング部１１０の第１搬送部１１１との高さを合わせるように第２搬送部１２１の高さを調整するものである。 The height adjusting unit 124 of the plating processing unit 120 adjusts the height of the second transport unit 121 so as to match the height of the stamping unit 110 with the first transport unit 111 when coupled to the stamping unit 110. is there.
　めっき処理部１２０の搬送速度調整部１２５は、スタンピング部１１０に結合したときのスタンピング部１１０の第１搬送部１１１による搬送速度と同一の搬送速度となるように第２搬送部１２１による搬送速度を調整するものである。 The conveyance speed adjusting unit 125 of the plating processing unit 120 adjusts the conveyance speed by the second conveyance unit 121 so that the conveyance speed is the same as the conveyance speed by the first conveyance unit 111 of the stamping unit 110 when coupled to the stamping unit 110. To be adjusted.
　このような高さ調整部１２４および搬送速度調整部１２５を有していることにより、めっき処理部１２０をスタンピング部１１０から分離して、他のスタンピング部（図示せず）に結合するにあたり、様々な種類のスタンピング部（図示せず）に結合することができるため、めっき処理部１２０の汎用性が高い。 By having such a height adjusting unit 124 and a conveyance speed adjusting unit 125, various parts can be used for separating the plating processing unit 120 from the stamping unit 110 and coupling it to another stamping unit (not shown). Since it can couple | bond with a various kind of stamping part (not shown), the versatility of the plating process part 120 is high.
　本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００は、スタンピング部１１０に隣接して配備されためっき処理部１２０の第２搬送部１２１が、スタンピング部１１０の第１搬送部１１１から受け取った連鎖状端子２１０を搬送するものである、すなわち、スタンピング部１１０から出てくる連鎖状端子２１０を直接めっき処理部１２０へ送りめっき処理を施すものである。従って、スタンピング部１１０でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子２１０を一旦巻き取ったり、その連鎖状端子２１０を仕掛品として一旦梱包して保管するといったことが不要である。そのため、本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００によれば、「スタンピング部１１０でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子２１０（仕掛品）の在庫」が削減され、「スタンピング部１１０でのプレス加工により端子金具が成型されてなる連鎖状端子２１０を一旦保管しておくためのスペース」が不要であり、「生産管理が容易」である。従って、本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００によれば、「製造コストが低減」されるとともに、「リードタイムが短縮」される。 In the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the second transport unit 121 of the plating processing unit 120 disposed adjacent to the stamping unit 110 receives the chained terminals 210 received from the first transport unit 111 of the stamping unit 110. In other words, the chained terminals 210 coming out from the stamping unit 110 are directly sent to the plating processing unit 120 to perform the plating process. Therefore, it is not necessary to temporarily wind up the chained terminal 210 formed by molding the terminal fitting by pressing at the stamping unit 110 or to pack and store the chained terminal 210 as a work in progress. Therefore, according to the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, “inventory of chained terminals 210 (work in process) in which terminal fittings are formed by pressing in the stamping unit 110” is reduced, and the “stamping unit 110 is reduced. The space for temporarily storing the chain-like terminals 210 formed by molding the terminal fittings by pressing is not required, and “production management is easy”. Therefore, according to the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, “the manufacturing cost is reduced” and “the lead time is shortened”.
　ここで、従来のスタンピング部は、他の工程から独立した工程である。また、従来のめっき処理部は、他の工程から独立した電気化学処理工程である。このような従来のめっき処理部における搬送速度は、効率的な生産を実現するために、独立した工程である従来のスタンピング部における搬送速度よりも速いのが一般的である。これに対して本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００は、めっき処理部１２０の第２搬送部１２１による搬送速度が、スタンピング部１１０の第１搬送部１１１による搬送速度に同期した搬送速度である。すなわち、本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００におけるめっき処理部１２０における搬送速度は、独立した工程である従来のめっき処理部における搬送速度よりも遅い搬送速度である。従って、本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００によれば、独立した工程である従来の、例えば３０ｍ程度の長さを有するめっき処理部よりも小型化された、例えば５ｍ程度の長さを有するめっき処理部１２０を実現することができる。そして、めっき処理部１２０の小型化により、例えば設置スペースの削減やライン調整およびセットアップ作業時間の短縮やめっき液１２２の削減等を図ることができる。さらに、本実施形態の端子金具製造装置１００によれば、めっき処理部１２０における搬送速度が従来よりも遅い搬送速度であることから、めっき液の水洗工程における貴金属の持ち出しが少なく、トータルランニングコストが低減できる。 Here, the conventional stamping unit is a process independent of other processes. Moreover, the conventional plating process part is an electrochemical process process independent of other processes. In order to realize efficient production, the conveyance speed in such a conventional plating processing unit is generally faster than the conveyance speed in the conventional stamping unit which is an independent process. On the other hand, in the terminal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the conveyance speed by the second conveyance unit 121 of the plating processing unit 120 is a conveyance speed synchronized with the conveyance speed by the first conveyance unit 111 of the stamping unit 110. That is, the conveyance speed in the plating process part 120 in the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment is a conveyance speed slower than the conveyance speed in the conventional plating process part which is an independent process. Therefore, according to the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the plating having a length of, for example, about 5 m, which is smaller than the conventional plating processing unit having a length of, for example, about 30 m, which is an independent process. The processing unit 120 can be realized. By reducing the size of the plating unit 120, for example, installation space can be reduced, line adjustment and setup work time can be reduced, and the plating solution 122 can be reduced. Furthermore, according to the terminal metal fitting manufacturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, since the transport speed in the plating processing unit 120 is a transport speed slower than the conventional speed, there is little carry-out of noble metal in the plating solution washing step, and the total running cost is reduced. Can be reduced.
