Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a crimping operation used to connect a contact to a conductor, in which a crimping tool of a crimping press is movable from an initial position into a crimping position and subsequently into an end position.
  • a motor drives an eccentric shaft that moves a carriage up and down with crimping tools.
  • An encoder driven by the motor shaft serves to determine the position of the crimping tool.
  • the crimp contact to be connected to a conductor end rests on a stationary anvil, wherein vanes of the crimp contact are plastically deformed during the movement of the crimping tool and establish the connection to the conductor.
  • the position of the crimping tool in the crimping area is measured by means of a height sensor, the sensor signal being used independently of the encoder signal.
  • the crimping force is measured based on the motor current.
  • the measured values are compared with reference values. The comparison allows a statement about the crimp quality.
  • a disadvantage of this known device is that although an encoder and a height sensor are present, only a relatively inaccurate statement about the crimp quality is feasible because external influences and elasticities or stiffness of the mechanical drive elements are not taken into account.
  • Patent US 5,669,257 Another device for crimping is known. This device was primarily about moving the crimping tool at two different speeds. From the so-called crimp contact start position to the lowest position, the crimping tool is moved at a significantly lower speed than in the region above the crimp contact start position. By these measures, a faster operation of the device and a lower noise level should be possible.
  • the Patent US 5,669,257 also proposes that an encoder be used to determine the position of the crimping tool from the angles of rotation of the motor. In addition, a height sensor is used, which is arranged on the anvil side of the device and gives a feedback on whether the crimping tool has reached the correct end position.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention as claimed in claims 1 and 4 solves the problem of avoiding the disadvantages of the known device and to provide a method and a device in which and in which the crimping quality of a crimped connection can be improved.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that no conversion of the crimping press is necessary when processing different crimp contacts with different tool strokes.
  • the crimp height or crimping stroke is adjustable.
  • the control of the crimping press always knows the exact tool position, so that a simple evaluation of the crimping force versus crimping stroke is feasible and other machines involved in the crimping process can be synchronized.
  • the crimping press according to the invention operates with two measuring systems, by means of which a regulation of the drive to position or a crimp height control can be realized.
  • a rotary measuring system is coupled with a linear measuring system.
  • the rotary measuring system allows a high positioning dynamics, because there are no dead times, caused by play in the gearbox, levers or slides.
  • the linear measuring system enables precise crimp height control. Mechanically induced deviations of the crimping press, which can open, for example, by the crimping force or by temperature fluctuations, are compensated by the crimp height control. With the crimp height control, the eccentric of the crimping press moves at most within an angle range between 0 ° and 180 °. The crimping press stops at bottom dead center and then reverses. Upper and lower dead center can be approached as desired within this angular range, depending on the crimping tool and crimp contact. intermediate positions are also possible. To realize these features, only one controlled axis is necessary.
  • the carriage stroke or the crimp height is programmable. In addition, the course of the crimping force as a function of the crimping stroke can be precisely represented and used for quality control purposes.
  • Fig. 1 is denoted by 1 a stand without right side wall on which a motor 2 and a gear 3 mounted on the stator 1 is arranged.
  • first guides 4 are arranged, on which a crimping rod 5 is guided.
  • a driven by the gear 3 shaft 6 (not shown in the figures) has at one end an eccentric pin 7.
  • the crimping rod 5 consists of a carriage 9 guided in the first guides 4 and of a tool holder 10 with a holding fork 11.
  • the carriage 9 is in loose connection with the eccentric pin 7, wherein the rotational movement of the eccentric pin 7 is converted into a linear movement of the carriage 9.
  • the maximum stroke H of the carriage 9 is determined by the top dead center and the bottom dead center of the eccentric pin 7.
  • the tool holder 10 actuates a tool 12 which, together with a tool 12 belonging to the anvil 13 produces the crimped connection.
  • an adjusting screw 14 By means of an adjusting screw 14, the closing height (shut height) in the bottom dead center of the eccentric pin 7 can be precisely adjusted. If no dial is provided on the tool 12, the crimp height can be adjusted with the adjusting screw 14. (Mass between anvil 13 and crimping die at the bottom dead center of the eccentric pin 7).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show details of the tool 12 for making a crimped connection.
  • a guided in a tool housing 20 punch carrier 21 has a carrier head 22 which is in loose communication with the holding fork 11 of the tool holder 10.
  • a first crimping punch 23 and a second crimping punch 24 are arranged, which together with the correspondingly formed anvil 13 produce the crimp connections.
  • Fig. 2 shows the crimping dies 23, 24 in the bottom dead center of the eccentric pin 7, in which the preparation of the crimped connection is completed.
  • Fig. 3 shows the crimping dies 23, 24 in the top dead center of the eccentric pin 7. The maximum punch stroke is determined by the two dead center positions.
  • Fig. 4 shows the crimping press with a rotary measuring system 25 arranged on the motor 2, for example an encoder arranged on the motor shaft and with a linear measuring system 26, for example comprising a measuring head 27 and a glass scale rod 28.
  • the graduated glass scale 28 is at one end with the tool holder 10 connected, at the other end of the glass scale rod 28 dips into the measuring head 27, which is firmly connected to the stator foot 29.
  • a force sensor 29.1 for measuring the crimping force is provided on the tool holder 10.
  • Fig. 5 shows an arrangement variant of the linear measuring system 26, wherein the measuring head 27 is arranged on a fixed holder 30 and the glass scale rod 28 is connected at one end to the carriage 9.
  • the opening of the crimping press is not compensated.
  • this value is very small compared to the play in the bearings and rigidity of the gearbox, the shafts and levers.
  • the linear measuring system 26 may be arranged on or in the crimping tool 12. This arrangement allows a very precise detection of the crimp height.
  • Fig. 6 schematically shows the eccentric movement and the carriage movement for a stroke H of, for example, 40 mm, wherein the eccentric pin 7 of 0 ° (top start position or top dead center) to 180 ° (bottom stop position or bottom dead center) rotates and back to 0 ° , where the path between 180 ° and 360 ° is not passed through.
  • Starting positions deviating from 0 ° and intermediate stops (split cycle) on the way between 0 ° and 180 ° are also possible.
  • 180 ° of the eccentric pin 7 corresponds to the minimum crimp height (small crimp contacts with small wire cross sections). For a readjustment, the crimps should be 180 °.
  • Fig. 6 shows various driving examples of the carriage 9 and the tool 12 with and without intermediate stops. Intermediate stops are inserted, for example, for centering special crimp contacts or for synchronization with other cable processing devices.
  • Fig. 7 shows a schematic representation of a control circuit for crimp height control.
