Definitions

  • the invention relates to a solar connector mounting tool, which is used for mounting a solar connector.
  • a connector housing is moved by means of a relative movement on an assembly and pressed by means of this movement.
  • the assembly is in this case formed with a cable, which is preferably pressed with a plug and on which a seal is arranged.
  • This coupling head is coupled with a pull and reset rod which extends to and beyond a second end face of the solar connector mounting tool opposite the first end face of the housing such that the pull and reset rod projects out of the solar connector mounting tool.
  • the pull and reset rod can be moved out in several stages with pivoting opening and closing movements of the hand lever from the housing more and more.
  • the mandrel is then pulled with a plug and cable through the connector housing until the connector and cable have reached their destination in the connector housing. During this pulling through the mandrel and the connector with cable through the connector housing, the connector housing does not move. Finally, the cable with plug and connector housing is removed from the solar connector mounting tool.
  • the operating instructions recommend a subsequent check of the proper fit of the plug housing on the cable and the plug.
  • US 2010/0180436 A1 discloses a tool which is intended to press a workpiece in the form of an end connector with two possible different lengths on a cable.
  • the tool has a hand-held housing, against which a single hand lever is pivotally mounted.
  • the hand lever drives a guide carriage via a toggle mechanism.
  • the kinematics of the toggle mechanism can be switched between a first kinematics with a shorter mounting stroke of the guide carriage and a second kinematics with a longer assembly stroke of the guide carriage by the effective length of a toggle lever of the toggle mechanism can be changed.
  • the change in the effective length of the toggle mechanism is effected in that the toggle lever in the end region facing away from the guide carriage has two holes which merge into one another, the centers of which are offset in the longitudinal direction of the toggle lever and which have different diameters.
  • a bearing pin which is mounted in this end region of the toggle lever relative to the hand lever, has two axial sections with different diameters, which correspond to the different diameters of the bores of the toggle lever.
  • the tool is thus adapted to the respective connector by selecting the effective bore.
  • the connector is attached to the guide carriage, which then a Montagehub can be generated with the length corresponding to the length of the connector by pivoting the hand lever.
  • FR 2 731 301 A1 discloses a device for inserting a cable with terminal disposed thereon into a connector housing.
  • the terminal is clamped and guided by means of a scissor-type clamping mechanism.
  • a pivoting of legs which form the "scissor handles" of the clamping mechanism, takes place about the pivot axis.
  • the closing of the clamping mechanism via basically operable independently of the clamping mechanism hand lever, which are also pivotable about the aforementioned pivot axis.
  • the hand levers carry actuating pins.
  • the actuating pin can be pressed against each other with the operation of the hand lever against the outer sides of the legs, thus closing the scissor-type clamping mechanism and pinching the terminal between the jaws takes place against the action of the spring.
  • the two hand levers After mounting the cable / terminal with the connector housing, the two hand levers must be manually acted against the joining direction to release the clamping connection. In view of the still existing clamping connection between the clamping jaws and the terminal, this leads to a test force also being applied to the connection established between the terminal and plug housing, the test force corresponding to the force applied manually to the hand lever.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a solar connector mounting tool in terms of handling and process reliability in the assembly of a solar connector with the solar connector assembly tool.
  • the cable after mounting the solar connector, the cable must be manually applied to the connector housing with a test force to check whether the connection between the connector, cable and seal formed assembly and the connector housing has been made properly.
  • This test force may be performed by the user after the solar connector has been removed from the solar connector mounting tool and by the user holding the connector housing with one hand while the user pulls on the cable with the other hand.
  • FR 2 731 301 A1 A test force is manually applied by the user when the assembled solar connector is still in the solar connector assembly tool by the user manually applied the two hand lever against the joining direction with the test force.
  • the solar connector assembly tool has a first holding device for the assembly formed with the cable and a second holding device for a connector housing.
  • a basically arbitrarily designed drive mechanism is coupled with (at least) one of the holding devices in such a way that it can be moved relative to the other holding device and acted upon by a pressing force which can ultimately be used for mounting the solar connector.
  • the drive mechanism In this case, it is designed in such a way that the holding devices can be moved relative to one another, namely towards each other, via the latter for press-fitting of the plug housing onto the assembly.
  • a loading of a spring element which may be, for example, a structurally and in terms of the material of any desired spring or multiple springs in series or parallel connection.
  • the pressing stroke whereby the assembly of the assembly is terminated with the connector housing, and the pressing force of the drive mechanism is partially or completely eliminated, the spring element acted upon during the Presshubs the holding devices apart. Since the assembly is still held in the first holding device and the plug housing is still held in the second holding device, thus also the assembly and the plug housing are pushed apart by the spring element. Thus, with the solar connector assembly tool by the spring element a test force generated.
  • the invention also includes a solar connector mounting tool which is actuated by auxiliary power, such as an electric or hydraulic drive.
  • the completion of the pressing stroke and the elimination of the pressing force of the drive mechanism can be done in any way. For example, this can be done manually by the user. Also possible is an automatic detection of the termination of the pressing stroke and an automatic elimination of the pressing force. In a particular embodiment of the invention, this is motion-controlled, for example, when the pressing stroke is completed. Alternatively or additionally, a force control can take place by the termination of the pressing stroke is given when a predetermined target value of the pressing force is reached or exceeded.
  • the force relationships between the holding devices and thus between the module and the connector housing alone or primarily determined by the spring element whereby the amount of test load by the spring element predetermined or at least codetermined.
  • the test force may vary depending on the characteristic of the spring element. Under certain circumstances, it may be desired that further requirements exist with regard to the application of the test force.
  • a damping element in which it is, for example, to a Oil or gas spring can act.
  • This damping element preferably acts between the holding devices, which may be connected in parallel, for example, the spring element.
  • the damping element can have any desired damping characteristic, in particular speed-proportional damping.
  • the process reliability can be further increased for a development of the solar connector assembly tool, if there is a measuring device in which detects the relative displacement of the two holding devices as a result of the application of the spring element upon application of the plug housing and the assembly with the test force.
  • a measuring device in which detects the relative displacement of the two holding devices as a result of the application of the spring element upon application of the plug housing and the assembly with the test force.
  • different setting behavior or different elasticities of different solar connectors that have been mounted with the solar connector assembly tool can be detected via the measuring devices.
  • a small relative displacement detected by the measuring device results, while for the other improperly mounted solar connector having a settling behavior, a larger relative displacement results. which can be detected by means of the measuring device.
  • it can also be detected via the measuring device whether components of the solar connector have been used outside the tolerance range, components are mounted in wrong orientation with respect to one another or incorrect components are mounted together.
  • the measuring device can basically be designed as desired.
  • the measuring device is designed as a user-optically readable measuring device.
  • the measuring device has a mark, for example an arrow, which is attached to the holding device, which is moved as a result of the spring element with completion of the press stroke relative to a housing of the solar connector assembly tool.
  • the measuring device has a marking, for example a counter-arrow, a marked area or a reading scale, which is attached to the housing. The user can then visually read on the basis of the relative position or spacing of the markers at the end of application of the test force, which relative displacement has resulted between the two holding devices.
  • the invention proposes in a further embodiment, that the drive mechanism is formed with a toggle.
  • the use of a toggle lever has been found to be advantageous for the assembly of solar connectors, since by means of the toggle lever with relatively small actuating forces large pressing forces can be brought about.
  • the translation of the user applied force to the pressing force acting on the plug housing and assembly can be continuously increased, thus causing the hand levers to move at the beginning of the press stroke with small required pressing forces a relatively large relative movement of the holding devices and thus the plug housing and the assembly brought about, while towards the end of the pressing stroke finely dosed the same movement of the hand lever leads to large pressing forces and a relatively small relative movement between the holding devices.
  • a further spring element is present, via which the drive mechanism is traceable after passing through the press stroke in its initial position.
  • a further increase in process reliability can be achieved if (in addition to the aforementioned holding devices) a testing and / or holding device is present.

By contrast, the holding body in the second operating position hold a plug housing with a second geometry.
  • a further increase in process safety can be ensured when using the solar connector mounting tool when the drive mechanism has a Zwangsgesperre.
  • a Zwangsgesperre a mechanism is understood, which ensures a once reached relative position of the holding devices during the pressing stroke, but allows further approach of the holding devices to each other with continuation of the pressing stroke. Only with completion of the pressing stroke allows the forced restraint, that the holding devices are moved away from each other again.
