Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crimping machine comprising a crimping tool driven by a first motor and a supply roll on which a metallic contact element strip and a separating strip deposited thereon are wound together to form a spiral, wherein the crimping tool is assigned a collection device for drawing the contact element strip into the crimping tool.
  • Such a crimping machine is out of the DE 10 2004 057 818 A1 known.
  • the removal of the stamped sheet metal contact element band with the metallic contact elements we effected by a collection device, which acts directly on the contact element band, which is very rigid and tensile strength in itself.
  • the collection device forms a direct part of the motor-driven crimping tool forms and is actuated by this.
  • the crimp contacts contained therein and produced by a deep-drawing process are determined by plastic deformation at cable ends and at the same time are punched by the contact element band. This is associated with the generation of significant vibrations.
  • a contact element band can therefore be wound only with the interposition of a separating strip of smooth paper and only loosely on a supply roll. It is of great importance, with the consequence that the finished roll deforms during later storage and transport and that an unevenness sets in. In addition, the protruding parts can get caught in each other and in the separating stiffener. This leads to later unwinding problems.
  • the unwinding is made more difficult by the fact that in a crimping machine the unwinding is not continuously but clocked in the working cycle of the crimping tool and thus discontinuous successes, the withdrawal of the contact element band from the supply roll therefore requires in each crimping a clocked acceleration and leakage of the heavy supply roll in the smallest steps.
  • the vibrations generated thereby can interfere with the usual imbalances of the supply roll and the mutual entanglement of the crimp contact cements of the contact element band so unfavorably that the crimp quality is deteriorated. It is therefore indispensable in the known design to set the supply roll rigidly locked with respect to the crimping tool. This is associated with an additional technical effort and with a high operating effort during use.
  • the invention has the object of further developing a crimping machine of the type mentioned in such a way that the available contact element bands can be processed easily and in high crimp quality that facilitates the replacement of the supply rolls possible and a rigid locking the storage of the supply rolls no longer necessary is.
  • an automatic crimping machine comprising a driven by a first motor crimping tool and a supply roll on which a metallic contact element band and a separation strip deposited thereon are wound together to form a spiral, the Crimpwerkzug a Feed device is assigned for pulling the contact element band in the crimping tool.
  • a signal-actuated, second motor is provided and that a sensor is provided which actuates the second motor so that the contact element band in the intermediate zone between the supply roll and the crimping tool free of tensile stresses is.
  • the transmission of tensile forces is suppressed particularly reliably when the contact element strip is loosely received in a hanging storage in the intermediate zone between the supply roll and the crimping tool in a U-shaped manner.
  • a sensor activates the second motor for a limited time only when the sag D of the contact element band falls below an arbitrarily definable, lower limit GU.
  • the time limit up to which the second motor then subtracts the contact element band from the supply roll can be easily determined empirically.
  • the design is particularly simple.
  • the sensor turns on the second motor when the sag D of the contact element band falls below an arbitrarily set lower limit value GU and off when the slack D exceeds an arbitrarily definable upper limit value GO.
  • the limits are also empirically easily determined and largely determined by the available space. Overall, in most cases, a maximum sag D of 50 to is sufficient 200 mm to achieve a good work result while avoiding unnecessarily numerous operations of the second motor.
  • the sensor may comprise at least one light barrier and / or a touch contact for a control voltage.
  • the senor is formed by a closing contact for a control voltage and that the closing contact comprises at least one input which is arranged at the lowest point of the hanging memory and at least one output formed by the contact element band is, wherein the contact element band is lowered by the second motor to the input.
  • the control voltage it is to avoid unnecessary accident risks to a low voltage is suitably applied by the crimping tool to the contact element band and removed by a contact that comes into contact with the contact element band when it reaches the lowest point in the hanging storage.
  • a releasable plug connection can be provided which is easy to manufacture. A control of the second motor with the required signal can thus be achieved without resulting in additional work for the user.
  • the input of the controller may be formed in such a design by a baffle on which the contact element band can be lowered by the second motor and thereby produces the required contact in the lowered state. If there is a contact, this signals a full suspension memory and the shutdown of the second motor. If the contact is interrupted, this signals in the simplest case an empty hanging storage and the second motor is turned on again until a new contact results.
  • Delay circuits which take into account the current operating state and / or consumption of the crimping tool, thus avoid unnecessary frequent switching operations despite the simplest construction of the circuit.
  • the second motor can cooperate for removing the contact element band from the supply roll with a withdrawal device for the separating strip.
  • the contact element band have an uneven surface and, depending on the design of the Crimp thumbnailieri completely different dimensions and shapes and accordingly difficult to seize and transport safely and damage-free with standardized means and transport, the release of most of a hard paper that easily and safely detected with roles and can be transported, which also does not remain on the product and in this respect anyway must be removed from the processing zone.
  • the contact element band is therefore preferably unwound in the sense of the invention by removing the separating strip from the supply roll.
  • the withdrawal device may be formed by a coil, on which the separating strip can be wound up.
  • the coil may consist of a disposable sleeve made of cardboard or a clamping sleeve, which can be pulled out after the winding of the separating strip from this and then used again.
  • the take-off device may also be formed by a pair of take-off rollers which are pressable and counterrotatable from the opposite sides of the parting strip to withdraw the parting strip interposed therebetween and feed it into a waste container or a pneumatic continuous conveyor.
  • the supply roll can be stored interchangeably in a freely movable carriage. This provides the ability to stockpile a variety of different contact element bands and get out of stock as needed, connect to a crimping machine and processed.
  • the second motor and optionally the triggering device can form part of the crimping machine and be stored stationary. They are always used against and it is therefore not necessary to burden the car with the supply roll and make it more expensive.
  • Fig. 1 shows a crimping machine, comprising a driven by a first motor crimping tool 1 and a supply roll 2, on which a metallic contact element band 3 and a separation strip 4 deposited thereon are wound together to form a spiral, wherein the crimping train 1 assigned a collection device for clocked retraction of the contact element band 3 is.
  • the sensor 5 can switch on the second motor 11 for a limited time, if the sag D of the contact element band 3 falls below an arbitrarily definable, lower limit GU, so that again a freely sagging, tension-free loop of the contact element band 3 is formed ,
  • the extraction device 11 is in the design after Fig. 1 formed by a pair of take-off rollers 13 which are driven by the second motor 11 and pressed by the opposite sides of the separating strip 4 and are rotatable in opposite directions.
  • the separating strip 4 is either fed directly from the gap of the withdrawal rollers 13 into a pneumatic extraction device or deposited in a waste container.
  • the contact element tire 3 is withdrawn from the supply roll and transferred to the hanging storage 6. This is done independently of the drive of the crimping device.
  • the second motor 11 forms part of the machine stand 14 of the crimping device and is actuated independently of the power stroke of the crimping tool 1 and only to fill the hanging memory 6.
  • the switch-on frequency is considerably reduced. It is ensured in any case that no tensile forces can be transmitted to the crimping tool 1 via the contact element band 3.
  • the second motor 11 is signal-controlled by the sensor 5 is actuated such that the contact element band 3 in the intermediate zone between the supply roll 2 and the crimping tool 1 is always free of tensile stresses. Due to the contact element band 3, therefore, no forces can be transmitted to the crimping tool 1, which are caused by the removal of the contact element band 3 from the supply roll 2.
  • the contact element band 3 is accommodated in a suspended memory 6 in a freely hanging manner in the intermediate zone between the supply roll 2 and the crimping tool 1. It is very flexible and of very low weight in the relevant section. Vibration technology, the crimping tool 1 is therefore completely isolated from the supply roll.
  • the sensor 5 is in the design after Fig. 1 formed by a pivotable measuring sensor, which is placed from above on the U - shaped sagging portion of the contact element band 3 and contacts the contact element band with a rotatable roller.
  • the sensor 5 is configured to turn on the second motor 11 when the slack D of the contact element band 3 falls below an arbitrarily set lower limit value GU and turns off when the slack D exceeds an arbitrarily definable upper limit value GO.
  • the senor 5 can also comprise at least one light barrier and / or a static contact for a control voltage.
  • the sensor 5 may further be formed by a closing contact for a control voltage, wherein the closing contact comprises at least one input 7, which is arranged at the lowest point GU of the hanging memory 6 and may be formed by a metallic trough, with which the metallic and electrically conductive contact element strip 3 engages when filling the hanging memory 6.
  • the output is formed by the contact element band 3, which can be lowered by the second motor 5 to the input 7.
  • the forwarding of the signal thus obtained is expediently carried out via a plug-in contact 9, by which the trolley is connected to the crimping machine.
  • the input 7 can thus be formed by a baffle, to which the contact element band 3 can be lowered by the second motor 11.
  • a baffle has the advantage that snagging of the contact element band is excluded under all circumstances.
  • Fig. 2 shows a design in which the extraction device 10 is formed for the separating strip 4 by a coil 12, on which the separating strip 4 wound and subsequently removed and disposed of.
  • tensile forces are transmitted only indirectly via the separating strip in the supply roll 2 and not on the contact element band 3 itself. Due to the indirect transfer of the forces required to unwind the contact element band forces on the supply roll 2 by means of a deformable and limited stretchable strip 4 made of paper results in each of such a strong damping when switching the trigger device 11 in that no disturbing vibrations or forces can be transmitted to the crimping tool 1.
  • the paper strip 4 presses in the introduction of tensile forces in the vertically projecting tabs and other vertically projecting parts and plastically deformed, which with an energy destruction is connected. Furthermore, a large length and a high extensibility of the separating strip has a positive effect on the avoidance of an undesired vibration transmission from the supply roll 2 to the crimping tool 1. In this case, it must be ensured that the tensile strength of the separating strip 4 is sufficiently large for reliable unwinding of the contact element strip 3 from the supply roll.
  • the supply roll 2 with the contact element band 3 and parting strip 4 spirally wound thereon is rotatable in both designs and mounted in a freely displaceable carriage 8 in an easily exchangeable manner.
  • the carriage includes only the storage for the supply roll 2, a handle for facilitating moving and the formed by a curved baffle, electrical input 7 of the sensor 5 and a plug contact element of the connector 9, which is engageable with a mating contact socket of the crimping machine ,
  • the cart is accordingly very inexpensive to produce and easy to move manually. It can be stored in large numbers in a warehouse, which also saves the need to manually transport heavy supply rolls 2 and insert them manually into the various crimping machines.
