Description

The Invention / innovation relates to a device for setting and isolation of electrical conductors and / or bundles of electrical conductors, in essentially consisting of at least one supply roll for receiving an adhesive tape, a separator for cutting adhesive tape sections and a biasing means for holding the adhesive tape during the cutting operation and a winding unit.

Out the prior art are devices for setting and isolating electrical conductors and / or bundles of electrical conductors known which have a supply roll for receiving an adhesive tape and the tape under, a tension caused by a biasing means cut by means of a separating element and connected to an electrical Ladder is arranged. Those known from the prior art Use devices for the cutting process a knife-like Separator. This separator must at certain time intervals from the adhesive residues which adhere to it, which become during the Release separation process from the adhesive tape and adhere to the blade of the separating element, be freed. One of Adhesive residues coated separating element can not produce an exact and repeat cut edge, Consequently, the accuracy and quality of the cutting result suffers. It is therefore necessary, the devices of the prior Technology at regular intervals to the adhesive residues to free. This maintenance is very time consuming, requires manual skill and carries the risk of injury. The time intensity results from the fact that the Devices usually a housing, which the environment before protects against contact with the moving parts, must be removed. During the cleaning process in the maintenance process the danger that is the operator feeds cuts to the separator.

Of the Invention / innovation is the object of a device for setting and insulating electrical conductors and / or bundles of electrical Ladders having the features of the preamble of claim 1 in such a way to further that both a high quality and accuracy in the separation of the adhesive tape is achieved, as also reduces the maintenance of the device to a minimum becomes.

Further It should be task of the invention / innovation, the risk of injury as far as possible in the entire operational use of the device to reduce.

When Essence of the invention / innovation, it is considered that the separating element is arranged before receiving a winding element, in which the cut off tape portion wound around the electrical conductor is, and the separating element designed as a hot cutting device is. That through the hot cutting device heated separating element prevents the adhesion of the adhesive, because the adhesive on the heated Surface of the Separating element finds no support. The prevention of clinging the adhesive on the separator has the magnification of Maintenance intervals result because of the time-consuming exposure and cleaning of the separator can be dispensed with. Because the Cleaning of the separating element is eliminated, at the same time becomes a Source of danger for the operating personnel (cuts) eliminated. Furthermore can with an inventive, from Adhesive residues free leasing separator over a long service life, a constant and exact cut achieved become. Especially in automated and semi-automated production processes the dimensional stability and thus the production of homogeneous products is an important quality criterion.

Advantageous is that the cut off tape section, with its adhesive side across the front Recording of the winding element arranged wire section acted upon. By such an arrangement is a safe as well as unproblematic Ensured connection of the band section to the electrical conductor.

Advantageous is also when the wire portion with the adhesive tape portion adhered thereto in the winding element at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the Wire section inserted is. this makes possible an unproblematic interlocking of that with the tape section provided electrical conductor and the winding element.

Around Merging error to avoid wire section and winding element, it is advantageous when the wire section is mounted on a sliding carriage. By means of the sliding carriage a guided relative movement is achieved which the improper merging of Wire section and winding element prevented.

An increase in quality and process accuracy, can be achieved if the sliding carriage has a recess and engages with lateral portions of the winding element. Preferably, the winding element has a horizontal recess running in the plane of the sliding carriage. In this horizontal recess of the wire section is inserted and wrapped in the subsequent rotation of the winding element of the wire section with the tape. By this interlocking method, a secure positioning of the tape portion provided with Drahtabschnit tes achieved in the winding element. This positioning accuracy achieved with this is particularly important in view of the subsequent wrapping process of importance. In this case, for example, a dimensioning to the effect conceivable that the extent of the recess on the sliding carriage substantially corresponds to the height or width of the cylinder-like winding element. (5 + 6)

Advantageous It is also when the biasing means as perpendicular to the direction formed in the sliding carriage inserted wire movable gripper is. To the separation process favor, the adhesive tape by means of the biasing means, for example is designed in the form of a gripper, tensioned and under tension standing cut with the separator. The cutting line preferably runs essentially transverse to the longitudinal edge of the tape. The effect of the gripper can be achieved by providing a rough surface at the engaged with the adhesive attack ends of the Gripper improve. By such a design of attacking ends the connection between gripper and tape is reinforced and it can higher Voltages are generated and the process speed is increased.

Advantageous is also when the sliding carriage has a receiving recess for Receiving an electrical conductor which is perpendicular to the Movement direction of the sliding carriage runs. Such a receiving recess ensures a safe and accurate positioning of the electrical conductor on the Sliding table.

A more robust sheath for bonding and insulating electrical Ladders and / or bundles of electrical conductors, can be achieve by using a textile adhesive tape.

Of the Ease of use of the device can be controlled by a means for final tape inspection increase. The agent gives an audible in the case of declining tape stock or optical signal and / or inhibits depleted tape stock the processing of the Contraption. The operator is to signal with the signal output be that in in the near future the tape stock will be replenished, hence a supply roll must be replaced. This is in turn favored by that the Supply roll detachable attached to a receiving element.

Advantageous it is also to arrange the overall device in a housing. This way will the risk of injury for reduces the operating personnel, since the moving parts by means of housing be shielded from the operator.

The Device allows the electrical conductor with one or more To provide wrappings.

The Invention is based on an embodiment closer in the drawing figure explained. This shows:

1 A device for setting and insulating electrical conductors and / or bundles of electrical conductors.

The device shown in the drawing figure 1 is in the sliding carriage 9 extended position shown. The electrical conductor 6 is in the receiving recess 12 of the sliding carriage 9 which preferably substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sliding carriage 9 runs, applied and in the direction of the winding element 5 introduced into this. The introduction of the electrical conductor 6 in the winding element 5 takes place via the recording 7 of the winding element 5 , which as a horizontal recess 7 ' is designed and leads to the central axis of the cylindrical winding element 5 , In the drawing is the electrical conductor 6 shown in its two maximum travel positions. In a first position A is the electrical conductor 6 in the sliding carriage extended position A and the reference B is the electrical conductor 6 in the in the winding element 5 retracted position B shown.

The sliding carriage 9 has a recess 11 which is essentially limited by its lateral sections 10 the winding element 5 can record. During the procedure of the electrical conductor 6 from the first (A) to the second (B) position, an adhesive tape section is cut in parallel and to the electrical conductor 6 arranged. In creating the tape portion, the tape becomes 3 by means of a gripper (not shown) stretched and with a heated separator 4 which before taking 7 a winding unit 5 is arranged, cut.

The through the separating element 4 caused cut line on the tape 3 runs essentially transversely to the longitudinal edge of the adhesive tape 2 ,

The adhesive side of the adhesive tape portion is the electrical conductor 6 directed towards and applied to this process of the electrical conductor 6 to the second position B.

After the provided with an adhesive tape section electrical conductor 6 the second position B has reached the tape portion by means of the winding element 5 around the electrical conductor 6 wound. After completion of the winding process is the sliding carriage 9 moved back to the starting position A and removed. Preferably, a textile adhesive tape is used as adhesive tape 3 used and the electrical conductor 6 at least once wrapped with the tape.
