Abstract

In the case of this cable looming device, a first cable batch can be removed in a ready-loomed and aligned manner, while the looming process for a second cable batch continues and is not interrupted if a defective cable is found. A cable holding unit (3) is provided for this purpose, which can rotate and has first and second looming brackets (5, 6), the first looming brackets (5) being allocated to the holder for defect-free cables (10) and the second looming brackets (6) being allocated to the holder for defective cables (10). A first gripper (18) which can pivot into three operating positions (A1, A2, A3) takes the cable (10) over in the first operating position (A1) from a second gripper (22) which is provided for cable transportation. When the first gripper (18) is in the second operating position (A2), the cable (10) is passed to a first looming bracket (5), and when the first gripper (18) is in the third operating position, the cable is passed to a second looming bracket (6). The cable end which is to be passed to the respective looming bracket (5, 6) is transported continuously at right angles to the movement direction (R1) of the second gripper (22), while the other end is guided parallel to the movement direction (R1) of the second gripper (22) in a first or second channel of a cable trough (25), depending on the cable batch. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kabelbündelungseinrichtung für Kabelverarbeitungsmaschinen, wobei eine Kabelwanne für die Aufnahme eines in Bearbeitung befindlichen Kabels vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a cable bundling device for cable processing machines, a cable trough being provided for receiving a cable that is being processed.

Mit Kabelverarbeitungsmaschinen können beispielsweise für Elektroapparate oder Kraftfahrzeuge elektrische Kabel verschiedenster Länge rationell in grösseren Stückzahlen hergestellt werden. Die Kabel werden meist von in Rollen angelieferten Material in der erforderlichen Länge abgeschnitten und an beiden Enden abisoliert, wobei die Enden, wenn nötig, mit Steckern oder anderen Anschlusselementen ausgerüstet werden können. Aus einem Prospekt 40 ST, Ausgabe 1989, der Firma KOMAX AG, Dierikon/CH, ist eine derartige Maschine bekannt. Hierbei werden die Kabel vor der Ablage auf Herstellungsfehler geprüft. Bei Feststellung eines Fehlers wird die Kabelfertigung unterbrochen, bis das schadhafte Kabel entfernt wird, wodurch relativ viel Fertigungszeit verloren gehen kann.With cable processing machines, electrical cables of various lengths can be rationally produced in large quantities, for example for electrical apparatuses or motor vehicles. The cables are usually cut from the material supplied in rolls to the required length and stripped at both ends, whereby the ends can be equipped with plugs or other connection elements if necessary. Such a machine is known from a brochure 40 ST, 1989 edition, from KOMAX AG, Dierikon / CH. Here, the cables are checked for manufacturing defects prior to storage. If an error is found, the cable production is interrupted until the defective cable is removed, which means that a relatively large amount of production time can be lost.

Mit der Schweizer Patentschrift Nr. 678 420 ist eine Kabelablagevorrichtung bekannt geworden, bei der eine Aufnahmewanne vorgesehen ist, welche das an einem Ende fertig bearbeitete Kabel vorläufig aufnimmt. Nach der Bearbeitung des zweiten Kabelendes wird das Kabel geschwenkt und gelangt so in Berührung mit einem Mitnehmertrum eines Bandantriebes wobei es gegen eine parallel zur Aufnahmewanne verlaufende Ablagewanne gelenkt wird. Danach gibt die Schwenkvorrichtung das Kabel frei, so dass es in die Ablagewanne fallen kann, wobei es jedoch von einem vor der Ablagewanne angeordnetem Separator aufgefangen wird. Nach der Bildung eines Kabel-Losstapels vorbestimmter Grösse wird dieser der Ablagewanne übergeben, von wo er manuell oder automatisch zu einem Bündel abgebunden für die weitere Verwendung entnommen werden kann. Da die Kabel nach dem Ablegen normalerweise eine gegeneinander verschobene Lage in der Ablagewanne einnehmen, müssen sie bei der Entnahme zum Zwecke des Bündelns ausgerichtet werden, so dass zusätzlich Arbeitszeit aufgewendet werden muss.With the Swiss patent specification No. 678 420 a cable storage device has become known, in which a receiving trough is provided, which temporarily receives the finished cable at one end. After the second cable end has been processed, the cable is pivoted and thus comes into contact with a drive run of a belt drive and is directed against a storage tray running parallel to the receiving tray. The swivel device then releases the cable so that it can fall into the storage tray, but is caught by a separator arranged in front of the storage tray. After the formation of a cable loose stack of a predetermined size, it is transferred to the storage tray, from where it can be tied up manually or automatically to form a bundle for further use. Because the cables after usually take a shifted position in the storage tray when they are stored, they have to be aligned for removal for the purpose of bundling, so that additional working time has to be used.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kabelbündelungseinrichtung zu schaffen, bei welcher bei Auffinden eines fehlerhaften Kabels die Kabelherstellung nicht unterbrochen wird, die fehlerhaften Kabel während des Bündelungsvorganges ausgeschieden werden, und die Kabel ausgerichtet gebündelt entnommen werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a cable bundling device in which, when a faulty cable is found, the cable production is not interrupted, the faulty cables are eliminated during the bundling process, and the cables can be removed in a bundled manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst. Hierbei ist eine drehbare Kabelaufnahme-Einheit vorgesehen, welche erste und zweite Bündelklammern aufweist, wobei die ersten Bündelklammern der Aufnahme fehlerfreier und die zweiten Bündelklammern der Aufnahme fehlerhafter Kabel zugeordnet sind. Ein in drei Arbeitsstellungen schwenkbarer erster Greifer übernimmt in der ersten Arbeitsstellung von einem für den Kabeltransport vorgesehenen zweiten Greifer das Kabel. Das Kabel wird in der zweiten Arbeitsstellung des ersten Greifers einer ersten Bündelklammer oder in der dritten Arbeitsstellung des ersten Greifers einer zweiten Bündelklammer übergeben. Das der jeweiligen Bündelklammer zu übergebende Kabelende wird senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des zweiten Greifers verlaufend transportiert, während das andere Ende in einer parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des zweiten Greifers angeordneten Kabelwanne geführt wird.This object is achieved by the invention characterized in claim 1. In this case, a rotatable cable receptacle unit is provided, which has first and second bundle clamps, the first bundle clamps being assigned to the receptacle for faultless cables and the second bundle clamps being assigned to the receptacle for defective cables. In the first working position, a first gripper that can be pivoted into three working positions takes over the cable from a second gripper provided for the cable transport. The cable is transferred to a first bundle clamp in the second working position of the first gripper or to a second bundle clamp in the third working position of the first gripper. The cable end to be transferred to the respective bundle clamp is transported perpendicular to the direction of movement of the second gripper, while the other end is guided in a cable trough arranged parallel to the direction of movement of the second gripper.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile sind insbesondere darin zu sehen, dass die Stillstandszeit der Kabelverarbeitungsmaschine während der Fertigung verringert wird und die fehlerhaften von den einwandfrei gefertigten Kabeln innerhalb eines Loses rationell getrennt werden können. Durch die getrennte Führung der Kabellose in der Kabelwanne wird erreicht, dass während der Füllung der einen Bündelklammer das volle Kabellos aus der anderen Bündelklammer entnommen werden kann, ohne durch die in Bearbeitung befindlichen Kabel des neuen Loses behindert zu werden. Dadurch muss die Zubringung von Kabeln des neuen Loses während der Entnahmezeit des vollen Kabelloses nicht ausgesetzt werden, so dass ein weiterer Zeitverlust vermieden wird. Durch die besondere Ausbildung der Lippen der Klammerarme wird erreicht, dass ein Verschieben der Kabel in der Losgrössen-Kammer der Bündelklammer beim Füllvorgang weitgehend verhindert wird. Ein weiterer, mit der Art der Zubringung der Kabel erzielter Vorteil besteht darin, dass die Kabel ausgerichtet den Bündelklammern entnommen werden können.The advantages achieved with the invention can be seen in particular in that the downtime of the cable processing machine is reduced during manufacture and the faulty cables can be rationally separated from the perfectly manufactured cables within a lot. The separate routing of the wireless cables in the cable tray ensures that the full cable can be removed from the other bundle clamp while one bundle clamp is being filled, without the cables being processed of the new lot to be hindered. As a result, the supply of cables of the new lot does not have to be suspended during the removal time of the full wireless lot, so that a further loss of time is avoided. The special design of the lips of the clamp arms ensures that a displacement of the cables in the batch size chamber of the bundle clamp is largely prevented during the filling process. Another advantage achieved with the way the cables are fed is that the cables can be removed from the bundle clamps in an aligned manner.

Der Schieber 11 weist an seiner gegen die Lippen 7.1, 8.1 gerichteten Seite einen dreieckförmigen Ausschnitt 13 auf, womit eine Losgrössen-Kammer für die Aufnahme einer bestimmten Anzahl Kabel 10 gebildet wird. Die zweiten Bündelklammern 6 sind kleiner als die ersten Bündelklammern 5 und weisen zwei unter Federeinwirkung zusammenpressbare Klammerarme 14, 15 auf. Die Klammerarme 14, 15 sind gelenkig an einem Halter 16 gelagert, der am Träger 9 befestigt ist. Der Halter 16 weist einen halbkreisförmigen Ausschnitt 17 auf, welcher der Aufnahme der fehlerhaften Kabel dient.1 to 3, 1 denotes a mounting plate which is connected to a machine frame 2 of a cable processing machine, not shown. A cable receptacle unit 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 1 such that it can rotate about an axis 4, the rotation, for example, using an electric motor or not shown pneumatic swing cylinder can be generated. The cable receptacle unit 3 has first and second bundle clamps 5, 6, the first bundle clamps 5 being associated with the reception of fault-free cables and the second bundle clamps 6 with the reception of faulty cables. In an exemplary embodiment, two first and second bundle clamps 5, 6, each offset by 180 °, are provided. Here, the first bundle clamp 5 is intended for receiving a first wireless and the other first bundle clamp 5 is intended for receiving a second wireless lot of a certain size. The first bundle clamps 5 consist of two clamp arms 7, 8, which are articulated at one end to a carrier 9 of the cable receptacle unit 3. The other ends of the clamp arms 7, 8 have lips 7.1, 8.1, which are pressed together under the action of a spring, not shown. For a purpose described in more detail later, the length of the lips 7.1, 8.1 is a multiple of the diameter of a cable 10 to be received. Between the clamp arms 7, 8 a slide 11 is arranged, which is connected to a pneumatic cylinder 12 attached to the carrier 9. The slider 11 has a triangular cutout 13 on its side directed against the lips 7.1, 8.1, which forms a lot size chamber for receiving a certain number of cables 10. The second bundle clamps 6 are smaller than the first bundle clamps 5 and have two clamp arms 14, 15 which can be compressed under the action of a spring. The clamp arms 14, 15 are articulated on a holder 16 which is attached to the carrier 9. The holder 16 has a semicircular cutout 17, which serves to accommodate the faulty cables.

An der Montageplatte 1 ist ein in drei Arbeitsstellungen A1, A2, A3 schwenkbarer erster Greifer 18 gelagert, der ein senkrecht zu seiner Schwenkachse 19 verschiebbares Teil aufweist, an welchem zwei schwenkbare Greiferbacken 20, 21 angeordnet sind.

Die Kabelwanne 25 ist durch Wände 26, 27 in zwei Kanäle K1, K2 unterteilt, wobei der erste Kanal K1 einem ersten Kabellos und der zweite Kanal K2 einem zweiten Kabellos zugeordnet ist. Der zweite Abschnitt 25.2 weist ein kippbares Steuerblech 28 auf, das an der Wand 27 gelagert ist und je nach Stellung das Kabel 10 in den ersten oder zweiten Kanal K1, K2 leitet. Im ersten Abschnitt 25.1 ist für den ersten Kanal K1 ein weiterer Schieber 29 vorgesehen, mittels welchem nach Erreichen der ersten Losgrösse und Einstellung des Steuerbleches 28 auf den zweiten Kanal K2, der erste Kanal K1 im ersten Abschnitt 25.1 verschliessbar ist.4 and 5, the cable trough 25 is formed from two sections 25.1, 25.2 running at right angles to one another, the first section 25.1 running parallel to the direction of movement of the second gripper 22. The cable trough 25 is divided by walls 26, 27 into two channels K1, K2, the first channel K1 being assigned to a first wireless and the second channel K2 being assigned to a second wireless. The second section 25.2 has a tiltable control plate 28 which is mounted on the wall 27 and, depending on the position, guides the cable 10 into the first or second channel K1, K2. In the first section 25.1, a further slide 29 is provided for the first channel K1, by means of which the first channel K1 in the first section 25.1 can be closed after the first lot size has been reached and the control plate 28 has been set to the second channel K2.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Kabelbündelungseinrichtung arbeitet wie folgt:
Es sei angenommen, dass der zweite Greifer 22 ein Kabel 10 eines ersten Loses an einer nicht dargestellten Teststation für die Prüfung von Herstellungsfehlern übernommen hat, und in Pfeilrichtung R1 senkrecht unter den in der ersten Arbeitsstellung A1 mit geöffneten Greiferbacken 20, 21 befindlichen ersten Greifer 18 befördert hat. Bei der Beförderung wird das Kabel 10 an einem Ende vom zweiten Greifer 22 senkrecht zu dessen Bewegungsrichtung gehalten, während das andere Ende im ersten Kanal K1 der Kabelwanne 25 parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung geführt wird. In der Arbeitsstellung A1 schliessen die Greferbacken 20, 21 des ersten Greifers 18 und öffnen die Greiferbacken 23, 24 des zweiten Greifers 22, worauf der zweite Greifer 22 zwecks Übernahme eines weiteren Kabels 10 zur Teststation zurückläuft. Während der gleichen Zeit schwenkt der erste Greifer 18 mit dem Kabel 10 um die Schwenkachse 19 in die zweite Arbeitsstellung A2. Es möge nun weiterhin angenommen sein, dass bei der Prüfung festgestellt wurde, dass das Kabel 10 fehlerfrei ist. In diesem Fall wurde die Kabelaufnahme-Einheit 3 um die Achse 4 in eine Position gedreht, in der eine erste Bündelklammer 5 dem ersten Greifer 18 gegenübersteht ( Fig. 1, 3). Nun werden die Greiferbacken 20, 21 des ersten Greifers 18 in Richtung der ersten Bündelklammer 5 so weit stossartig verschoben, dass das von ihnen gehaltene Kabel 10 nach Beendigung der Verschiebung eine Position zwischen den Lippen 7.1, 8.1 der Klammerarme 7, 8 einnimmt (strichpunktierte Linien Fig. 1, 3). Das derart festgeklemmte Kabel 10 wird erst nach Eintreffen weiterer Kabel von diesen in die Losgrössen-Kammer gedrückt, wodurch ein Verschieben der Kabel in der Losgrössen-Kammer weitgehend verhindert wird. Nach der Übergabe des Kabels 10 an die erste Bündelklammer 5 werden die Greiferbacken 20, 21 geöffnet und zurückgezogen (gestrichelte Linien Fig. 1, 3). Danach schwenkt der erste Greifer 18 mit geöffneten Greiferbacken 20, 21 zwecks Übernahme eines weiteren Kabels 10 vom inzwischen zurückgekehrten zweiten Greifer 22 in die erste Arbeitsstellung A1 zurück. Wird beim Prüfen ein fehlerhaftes Kabel ermittelt, so wird der erste Greifer 18 in die dritte Arbeitsstellung A3 geschwenkt, in der eine zweite Bündelklammer 6 das Kabel vom ersten Greifer 18 übernehmen kann (Fig. 2). Die Übergabeprozedur läuft hierbei genau so ab wie vorstehend für fehlerfreie Kabel geschildert, wobei jedoch das fehlerhafte Kabel durch die Klammerarme 14, 15 hindurch in den halbkreisförmigen Ausschnitt 17 gestossen wird. Wenn eine erste Bündelklammer 5 die vorbestimmte Losgrösse erreicht hat, wird die Kabelaufnahme-Einheit 3 um 180° gedreht, so dass durch manuelles Öffnen der Klammerarme 7, 8 das Kabelbündel entnommen werden kann. Da das vom zweiten Greifer 22 senkrecht zu seiner Bewegungsrichtung transportierte Kabelende stets die gleiche Länge aufweist, können die Kabel ausgerichtet der ersten Bündelklammer 5 entnommen werden, so dass ein vorheriges Abbinden des Bündels zweckmässig sein kann. Während der Entnahme kann die andere erste Bündelklammer 5 bereits mit Kabeln des zweiten Loses gefüllt werden, so dass keine Zeit verloren geht. Hierbei werden die Kabel durch den zweiten Kanal K2 der Kabelwanne 25 zugeführt, zu welchem Zweck das Steuerblech 28 in eine andere Stellung gekippt und der erste Kanal K1 im ersten Abschnitt 25.1 mittels des beispielsweise pneumatisch betätigbaren weiteren Schiebers 29 verschlossen wird (Pfeilrichtung R2, Fig. 4).The cable bundling device described above works as follows:
It is assumed that the second gripper 22 has taken over a cable 10 of a first lot at a test station (not shown) for checking manufacturing defects, and in the direction of arrow R1 vertically below the first gripper 18 located in the first working position A1 with the gripper jaws 20, 21 open has promoted. During transportation, the cable 10 is held at one end by the second gripper 22 perpendicular to its direction of movement, while the other end is guided in the first channel K1 of the cable trough 25 parallel to the direction of movement. In the working position A1, the gripper jaws 20, 21 of the first gripper 18 close and the gripper jaws 23, 24 of the second gripper 22 open, whereupon the second gripper 22 runs back to the test station in order to take over another cable 10. During the same time, the first gripper 18 pivots with the cable 10 about the pivot axis 19 into the second working position A2. It may now further be assumed that the test found that the cable 10 is free of defects. In this case, the cable receiving unit 3 was rotated about the axis 4 into a position in which a first bundle clamp 5 faces the first gripper 18 (FIGS. 1, 3). Now the gripper jaws 20, 21 of the first gripper 18 are pushed so far abruptly in the direction of the first bundle clamp 5 that the cable 10 held by them assumes a position between the lips 7.1, 8.1 of the clamp arms 7, 8 after the displacement has ended (dash-dotted lines 1, 3). The cable 10 clamped in this way is only pressed by these into the batch size chamber after further cables have arrived, thereby largely preventing the cables from being displaced in the batch size chamber. After the transfer of the cable 10 to the first bundle clamp 5, the gripper jaws 20, 21 are opened and withdrawn (dashed lines Fig. 1, 3). The first gripper 18 then pivots with the gripper jaws 20, 21 open in order to take over a further cable 10 from the second gripper 22, which has meanwhile returned, into the first working position A1. If a faulty cable is determined during testing, the first gripper 18 is pivoted into the third working position A3, in which a second bundle clamp 6 can take over the cable from the first gripper 18 (FIG. 2). The transfer procedure runs exactly as described above for faultless cables, but the faulty cable is pushed through the clamp arms 14, 15 into the semicircular cutout 17. When a first bundle clamp 5 has reached the predetermined lot size, the cable receiving unit 3 is rotated by 180 °, so that the cable bundle can be removed by manually opening the clamp arms 7, 8. Since the cable end transported by the second gripper 22 perpendicular to its direction of movement always has the same length, the cables can be removed aligned from the first bundle clamp 5, so that it may be advisable to tie the bundle beforehand. During the removal, the other first bundle clamp 5 can already be filled with cables of the second lot, so that no time is lost. The cables are fed through the second channel K2 to the cable trough 25, for which purpose the control plate 28 is tilted into another position and the first channel K1 is closed in the first section 25.1 by means of the pneumatically actuated further slide 29 (arrow direction R2, Fig. 4).
