Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for equipping cables at one end with plugs arranged in housings with certain grid spacings with insulation displacement contact elements for the production of wiring harnesses, each housing to be assembled automatically being conveyed from a magazine to a contacting station in such a way that the first one to be assembled Insulation displacement contact element, which is located in a housing chamber of a housing having a plurality of housing chambers at a certain latching distance, is arranged at the level of a cable insertion opening and below a contacting stamp, then the line to be fitted is manually inserted into the housing chamber through the cable insertion opening and the contacting stamp is then moved downwards and that Pressing insulation displacement contact element presses on the line end, after which the housing is automatically continued until the next insulation displacement contact element to be fitted is at the level of the Cable entry opening is arranged and such a completed cable set is then supplied for testing and further processing or removal.
  • the invention further relates to a device for performing this method.
  • Such a cable assembly device is known from the applicant's own production. It can be used to fit conductors of different lengths with housings that have a grid spacing of not less than 5 mm. In practical use, for example in the white goods industry, more and more plug connections are required that have a smaller grid pitch, for example 2.5 mm. Furthermore, there is a need for already prefabricated but incomplete cable branches, that is to say for example cable branches already provided with housings on one side, to be additionally equipped with housings. This requirement could not be met with the known cable assembly device, inter alia, because the machine is not equipped with a pitch of less than 5 mm for machining the housing, which has a much smaller external geometry. Such a retrofitting of the known system would require a complicated mechanical construction, which is not justifiable for economic reasons.
  • Another cable assembly device is known from US-A-4,918,804.
  • This modularly constructed known cable assembly device allows the device to be adapted to different purposes, but a check of the contact made and thus a qualitative control of the products is not possible with this known device.
  • each individual processing station of this known cable assembly device requires a separate drive control system, via which the respective processing station can be driven.
  • the drive control systems made up of various drive shafts, an overload clutch and a separate drive each represent a high cost factor and considerably increase the overall control expenditure of the device.
  • a device for cable assembly of lines with a housing module for feeding housings in housing workpiece carriers is also known.
  • the discharge device of this known device is coupled to a buffer storage device, so that the discharged receiving trays can also be temporarily stored until further processing.
  • This buffer storage arranged in the discharge device serves exclusively to convey the empty receiving trays away from the article feed in order to then be able to feed them to vertical storage. An increase in the clock frequency of this known device is not achieved by the buffer memory.
  • the invention is based on the task of equipping conductors of different lengths with housings that have single-conductor processing, that grid jumps can be made and that pre-made but incomplete cable branches and lines of different lengths can be completed and fast cycle times are also possible
  • the procedural solution to this problem is characterized in that the housings of the contacting station are fed over a buffer section without dead time.
  • the lowering of the contacting stamp be triggered by the complete insertion of the line end into the housing chamber to be contacted.
  • each housing is subjected to at least one test for continuity, short circuit and cable insertion depth.
  • the object is achieved in that a buffer section provided with its own drive is arranged between the turning device and the loading station.
  • a buffer section is arranged between the magazine and the contacting station, so that due to the buffer section arranged in front of the contacting station, the housings to be populated are supplied to the contacting station free of dead time.
  • the propulsion of the housings along the article rail is preferably carried out in the buffer section via a friction belt drive by frictional engagement with the underside of the housings to be transported.
  • the main idea of the invention is based on the provision of the housing in a vertical arrangement to the contact position, the automatic feeding and positioning of the housing in the contact position and the manual feeding of the conductor into the housing chamber to be contacted.
  • a cable assembly device designed in this way it is possible to freely contact lines of different lengths and already prefabricated lines with housings with different grid spacings. Because of the simple and clearly structured construction of the machine designed according to the invention, this cable assembly device enables rapid, cheap and variable production of cable sets.
  • the block magazine for accommodating the housings to be processed is arranged in a manually pivotable loading frame with a loading slide.
  • the loading frame can be swiveled down and a new magazine inserted. In this position there is no risk that the housing can fall out of the block magazine.
  • the loading frame is pivoted into the vertical working position by means of the loading slide, so that on the one hand the housing can slide vertically into the article feed and on the other hand the space requirement for the block magazine is very small.
  • the channels of the block magazine arranged in parallel next to one another are emptied via a magazine slide which moves the block magazine into the emptying position above the turning device.
  • a capacitive proximity switch on the block magazine which is free when the empty block magazine is pushed forward and thus stops the machine from being loaded with a new full block magazine.
  • the turning device arranged below the block magazine for deflecting the vertically mounted housing into the horizontal contact position is designed in the preferred embodiment as a turntable which can be pivoted through 90 °.
  • the turning device advantageously has an adjustable stop for setting the maximum number of housings that can be accommodated.
  • the turning device have an adjustable light barrier which detects the housings sliding down from the block magazine into the turning device.

  • the slide of the housing feed device has a geometry adapted to the housing.
  • a pneumatic swivel drive that can be swiveled through 180 ° is provided as the drive for the housing feed device.
  • the housing is transported via the grid transport device, which reaches into the housing chambers from below via a liftable, comb-like transport element and moves the housing along the article rail.
  • the grid transport device can be programmed in accordance with the grid to be fitted.
  • the contacting station has the cable insertion opening and, perpendicularly thereto, a contact stamp held in a receptacle, which presses the insulation displacement contact element from above onto the line end located in the housing chamber.
  • the holder for the contact stamp can be adjusted via elongated holes.
  • the upward and downward movement of the contacting stamp takes place via an eccentric drive which can be pivoted through 180 °.
  • the eccentric drive has the advantage that it enables rapid upward or downward movement on the path of motion up to bottom dead center, whereas the movement slows down in the region of bottom dead center.
  • the eccentric drive in the area of the bottom dead center enables high power transmission, which is necessary in order to push the insulation displacement contact element onto the line end via the contact stamp.
  • An article centering device is arranged in the area of the contacting station and the testing station for precise positioning of the housings to be fitted and tested.
  • the article centering device is preferably in engagement via a rack-like holding element with teeth formed on the side of the housing facing away from the cable insertion opening, so as to position the housing precisely.
  • a laser control device is arranged in the area of the assembly station to monitor the complete transport of the housing.
  • a dynamic nozzle is arranged opposite the cable insertion opening on the other side of the housing to be fitted.
  • This stagnation nozzle which is advantageously arranged on the holding element of the article centering device, lies sealingly against a hole in the rear of the housing chamber to be fitted.
  • the arrangement of the dynamic nozzle on the opposite side of the cable insertion opening is intended to ensure that the contacting stamp is only moved downward to contact the insulation displacement contact element with the conductor end when the line end to be contacted is fully inserted into the housing chamber.
  • a back pressure is built up in the pitot nozzle, which stimulates the drive of the contacting plunger.
  • the stagnation nozzle and the drive of the contacting stamp are preferably connected to one another via a pneumatic-electrical converter.
