Au moment de l'arrêt de l'extrémité avant du câble (C) à la cisaille (2), un lien (5a) qui peut être un ruban adhésif est mis en place à une distance (d) de la tête de faisceau pour empêcher le détoronnage intempestif des brins constitutifs du toron, lors de la préparation de leur extrémité avant pour la connection avec le réseau principal. Après cette opération, le câble (C) avance selon la flèche (f₁) par l'action du système (1) sur une longueur prédéterminée (L₁) appelée pour la meilleure compréhension "longueur utile". L'arrêt programmé du câble (C) est assuré par un dispositif de lecture incorporé dans le système (1) qui lui est, par exemple, contrôlé à partir d'un organe de programmation central (non montré sur le dessin). La longueur totale(L) prise en considération est sensiblement égale à la longueur du plan de travail (P); la distance (d) est donc inférieure à la longueur (L₂) qui elle est égale à (L - L₁). Dans l'exemple montré dans la figure, la longueur utile (L₁) est égale à la somme de longueurs (L₄, L₅, L₆) des tronçons (C₃, C₂, C₁) du câble (C).To start the process, the system (1) advances the cable (C) to a shear or guillotine (2). When the front end of the cable (C) is stopped with the shears (2), a link (5a) which may be an adhesive tape is placed at a distance (d) from the harness head for prevent untimely untwisting of the strands making up the strand when preparing their front end for connection to the main network. After this operation, the cable (C) advances along the arrow (f₁) by the action of the system (1) over a predetermined length (L₁) called for best understanding "useful length". The programmed stopping of the cable (C) is ensured by a reading device incorporated in the system (1) which is, for example, controlled from a central programming member (not shown in the drawing). The total length (L) taken into account is substantially equal to the length of the work surface (P); the distance (d) is therefore less than the length (L₂) which is equal to (L - L₁). In the example shown in the figure, the useful length (L₁) is equal to the sum of lengths (L₄, L₅, L₆) of the sections (C₃, C₂, C₁) of the cable (C).

Le câble (C) est alors sectionné par le système (1) qui peut, par exemple, être une guillotine agissant selon la flèche (f₂) dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan longitudinal du câble (C).The cable (C) is then sectioned by the system (1) which can, for example, be a guillotine acting according to the arrow (f₂) in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the cable (C).

A partir de cette opération de démarrage, toute la série d'opérations de fabrication du faisceau est répétitive et peut, par exemple, au moins partiellement être commandée par ledit organe de programmation central.From this start-up operation, the whole series of beam manufacturing operations is repetitive and can, for example, at least partially be controlled by said central programming member.

Ainsi, comme il sera décrit plus loin, peut-il être avantageux d'effectuer manuellement l'opération de reconnaissance des circuits et la vérification du montage correct des brins dans les boîtiers de connexion. Comme c'est décrit ci-après, les cosses des connecteurs sont fournies è partir d'un magasin (10c) pour les brins de la tête de faisceau et sertis en (11 c). L'avancement du câble (C) le long du plan de travail (P) est facilité par l'emploi de supports guides (3a, 3b) qui sont, de préférence, du type connu en soi, permettant l'enfilement des gaines (13) sur le câble (C).Thus, as will be described later, it may be advantageous to carry out the circuit recognition operation manually and the verification of the correct mounting of the strands in the connection boxes. As described below, the connector lugs are supplied from a magazine (10c) for the harness head strands and crimped at (11c). The advancement of the cable (C) along the work surface (P) is facilitated by the use of guide supports (3a, 3b) which are preferably of the type known per se, allowing the sheaths to be threaded ( 13) on the cable (C).

La mise en place des gaines (13) sur le câble (C) s'effectue de la façon suivante :The installation of the sheaths (13) on the cable (C) is carried out as follows:

Une première gaine (13₄) est dévidée d'un dévidoir (8a) selon la flèche (f₅) par un organe dévidoir (D) et de mesure (non montré sur le dessin) à une longueur (L₄) programmée d'avance et elle est coupée par un dispositif de coupe (non montré sur le dessin). Cette gaine (13₄) est glissée sur le câble (C) du côté "tête de faisceau" pour protéger, par exemple, une partie (C₃) du câble (C) dont la longueur (L₄) est égale à la distance mesurée de l'extrémité arrière coupée du câble (C) jusqu'à l'endroit d'extraction de la dérivation (20 a). (voir fig. 2). L'extrémité avant de la gaine (13₄) est serrée sur le câble, par exemple par la thermorétraction locale du matériau de la gaine par apport de chaleur en provenance d'un générateur de chaleur tel qu'une buse (9) d'air chaud via un conduit distributeur (non montré sur le dessin). La longueur (b) de la partie serrée de la gaine (13₄) est choisie de façon à assurer un bon serrage d'une part et de permettre l'introduction d'une gaine (14) pour la dérivation (20a) d'autre part dans un épanoui (16) de façon à ce qu'un jeu (j) subsiste entre les gaines (13₄, 13₅) et la gaine (14).A first sheath (13₄) is unwound from a reel (8a) according to the arrow (f₅) by a reel (D) and measuring member (not shown in the drawing) at a length (L₄) programmed in advance and it is cut by a cutting device (not shown in the drawing). This sheath (13₄) is slid over the cable (C) on the "beam head" side to protect, for example, a part (C₃) of the cable (C) whose length (L₄) is equal to the measured distance from l rear end cut from the cable (C) to the point of extraction of the bypass (20 a). (see fig. 2). The front end of the sheath (13₄) is tightened on the cable, for example by local heat shrinking of the sheath material by supplying heat from a heat generator such as an air nozzle (9) hot via a distributor duct (not shown in the drawing). The length (b) of the tight part of the sheath (13₄) is chosen so as to ensure good tightening on the one hand and to allow the introduction of a sheath (14) for the derivation (20a) on the other leaves in a bloom (16) so that a clearance (j) remains between the sheaths (13₄, 13₅) and the sheath (14).

La partie non serrée de la gaine suivante (13₅) est glissée sur le tronçon (C₂) du câble (C) sur une longueur (L₅) sensiblement égale à la distance entre les dérivations (20a) et (20b). Une troisième gaine est glissée sur le tronçon (C₁) du câble (C) sur une longueur (L₆) sensiblement égale à la distance de la dérivation (20b) jusqu'à la tête du faisceau.. La gaine (13₅) est serrée sur le tronçon (C₂) par exemple par thermorétraction de sa matière constitutive sur toute la longueur (L₅) sauf sur son extrémité arrière ayant une longueur (a) suffisante pour permettre la constitution dudit épanoui (16). De manière similaire, la gaine glissée sur le dernier tronçon (C₁) du câble (C) sur une longueur (L₆) est serrée sur ledit tronçon (C₁) sauf sur son extrémité arrière pour permettre la constitution d'un épanoui (16) pour préparer la dérivation (20b).The loose part of the following sheath (13₅) is slid over the section (C₂) of the cable (C) over a length (L₅) substantially equal to the distance between the branches (20a) and (20b). A third sheath is slid over the section (C₁) of the cable (C) over a length (L₆) substantially equal to the distance from the branch (20b) to the head of the harness. The sheath (13₅) is tightened on the section (C₂) for example by heat-shrinking its constituent material over the entire length (L₅) except on its rear end having a length (a) sufficient to allow the constitution of said open (16). Similarly, the sheath slipped on the last section (C₁) of the cable (C) over a length (L₆) is tightened on said section (C₁) except on its rear end to allow the constitution of a breakout (16) for prepare the bypass (20b).

L'extrémité de tête du faisceau est peignée pour séparer chaque brin, qui est alors décapé et garni d'un revêtement, par exemple par trempe dans le bain (7c) de décapage et d'étamage. Les connecteurs sont sertis sur les brins dans l'unité de sertissage (11c) et les brins et connecteurs sont introduits dans les alvéoles du boîtier de connexion qui est enfiché sur la prise test (12c).The head end of the bundle is combed to separate each strand, which is then pickled and covered with a coating, for example by quenching in the pickling and tinning bath (7 c ). The connectors are crimped onto the strands in the crimping unit (11 c ) and the strands and connectors are inserted into the cells of the connection box which is plugged into the test socket (12c).

Pour la réalisation des dérivations, l'appareil (4) de sélection, d'extraction et de coupe des brins des dérivations, se déplace de façon contrôlée sur le rail-guide (6) selon les flèches (f₃) jusqu'à l'endroit programmé prévu pour la sortie d'une dérivation. Le nombre prédéterminé de brins de la dérivation est sélectionné par cet appareil (4) de façon semi-automatique ou automatique et les brins sont extraits et coupés par le dispositif (4a), par exemple selon la flèche (f₄).To make the branches, the apparatus (4) for selecting, extracting and cutting the branches of the branches, moves in a controlled manner on the guide rail (6) according to the arrows (f₃) up to the programmed location provided for the output of a bypass. The predetermined number of strands of the bypass is selected by this device (4) semi-automatically or automatically and the strands are extracted and cut by the device (4a), for example according to the arrow (f₄).

Supposons que, dans l'exemple décrit, la dérivation (20a) comporte 7 brins et la dérivation (20b) (seulement) un seul brin. Les sept brins de la dérivation (20a) après extraction sont détoronnés dudit câble (C), puis torsadés entre eux, tandis que le seul brin de la dérivation (20b) est uniquement détoronnée. Les extrémités libres de chaque brin sont alors décapées et garnies d'un revêtement conducteur d'électricité, par exemple par décapage et étamage dans les bains (7a) et (7b) respectivement. Les brins sont positionnés en fonction du faisceau programmé. Les gaines (14) en provenance d'un dévidoir (8b) sont mesurées et glissées automatiquement selon la flèche (f₆) sur les dérivations de façon à ce que les extrémités arrières desdites gaines (14) soient situées dans les épanouis (16) d'attente. Les extrémités libres des brins sont équipées de cosses de connecteurs fournies à partir des magasins (10a, 10b) selon la flèche (f₇), sertis et/ou soudés dans les unités de sertissage (11a, 11b), et équipées de boîtiers de connexion qui sont enfichés dans les prises test (12a) et (12b).Suppose that, in the example described, the derivation (20a) has 7 strands and the derivation (20b) (only) a single strand. The seven strands of the bypass (20a) after extraction are untwisted from said cable (C), then twisted between them, while the single strand of the bypass (20b) is only untwisted. The free ends of each strand are then pickled and filled with an electrically conductive coating, for example by pickling and tinning in the baths (7a) and (7b) respectively. The strands are positioned according to the programmed harness. The sheaths (14) coming from a reel (8b) are measured and automatically slid along the arrow (f₆) on the branches so that the rear ends of said sheaths (14) are located in the openings (16) d 'waiting. The free ends of the strands are equipped with connector lugs supplied from the magazines (10a, 10b) according to the arrow (f₇), crimped and / or welded in the crimping units (11a, 11b), and equipped with connection boxes. which are plugged into the test sockets (12a) and (12b).

L'ensemble : épanoui, gaines sur dérivations, gaines sur torons est rétracté par apport de chaleur.The assembly: open, sheaths on branches, sheaths on strands is retracted by heat supply.

Il est dans le cadre de l'invention de réaliser les dérivations (20a) et (20b) simultanément ou successivement. Dans ce dernier cas, la gaine (13₄) du tronçon (C₃) préalablement glissée sur ledit tronçon (C₃) est rétreinte et serrée sur l'extrémité avant du tronçon et glissée dans l'épanoui (16) après la réalisation de la dérivation (20a), et l'ensemble : épanoui (16), gaine (14) sur la dérivation (20a), gaine (13₄) sur tronçon (C₃) est rétracté par apport de chaleur. Cette opération est répétée pour la dérivation (20b) et ainsi de suite.It is within the scope of the invention to produce the branches (20a) and (20b) simultaneously or successively. In the latter case, the sheath (13₄) of the section (C₃) previously slid over said section (C₃) is constricted and clamped on the front end of the section and slid into the openwork (16) after completion of the bypass ( 20a), and the assembly: open (16), sheath (14) on the bypass (20a), sheath (13₄) on section (C₃) is retracted by heat supply. This operation is repeated for the derivation (20b) and so on.

Il est également dans le cadre de l'invention d'utiliser des gaines à section différente en fonction du nombre de brins pour chaque dérivation, et en fonction du nombre de brins retirés du câble (C) pour les tronçons (C₁), (C₂), (C₃), etc..It is also within the framework of the invention to use sheaths with different cross-section as a function of the number of strands for each branch, and as a function of the number of strands removed from the cable (C) for the sections (C₁), (C₂ ), (C₃), etc.

Après la coupe de la dérivation (voir, par exemple (20b) sur la figure 1) une partie de celle-ci sera inopérante. Les brins constituant cette partie peuvent être extractés et retirés.After cutting the bypass (see, for example (20b) in Figure 1) part of it will be inoperative. The strands constituting this part can be extracted and removed.

Le montage correct de chaque brin est vérifié. La reconnaissance des circuits et la mise en place du connecteur et/ou cosse de tête s'effectue de la façon suivante :

  • le boîtier de tête est mis sur la prise test (12 c) ;
  • encliquetage de tous les boîtiers ou connecteurs de dérivations ;
  • prise au hasard d'un brin de tête et pose sur la plaque test (15a) du pupitre de reconnaissance et de test (15) ;
  • recherche des brins "parallèles" et sertissage des connecteurs ;
  • mise en alvéole du boîtier de tête sur indication du tableau du pupitre (15) ;
  • si l'opération est faite correctement, l'autorisation de passer au brin suivant est donnée.
The correct assembly of each strand is checked. The recognition of the circuits and the installation of the connector and / or head lug is carried out as follows:
  • the head box is put on the test socket (12 c);
  • snap-on of all branch boxes or connectors;
  • taking a random strand of head and placing it on the test plate (15a) of the recognition and test desk (15);
  • search for "parallel" strands and crimping of connectors;
  • placing the head unit in the cell on the indication of the console table (15);
  • if the operation is done correctly, authorization to move to the next strand is given.

La figure 3 montre clairement le mode du test d'un faisceau.Figure 3 clearly shows the mode of beam testing.

La dernière opération avant enlèvement du faisceau constitué est le surmoulage aux endroits de dérivations, de la tête du faisceau, etc.. au moyen d'un mastic élastique, étanche, isolant et amortisseur de vibrations, par exemple.The last operation before removal of the bundle formed is overmolding at the points of diversions, the head of the bundle, etc. by means of an elastic, waterproof, insulating and vibration-absorbing mastic, for example.

La figure 4 montre un faisceau constitué. Le toron comprend, par exemple 37 brins, à la tête du faisceau. Le cable (C) a quatre tronçons (C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄); à l'extrémité arrière de chaque tronçon (C₁, C₂, C₃) il y a une dérivation de sept brins (21a) et à l'extrémité arrière du tronçon (C₄), il existe deux dérivations de sept brins (21a) et deux dérivations d'un brin chacune (21a'), soit au total 37 brins. La totalité des brins du toron (C) a donc été utilisée pour les dérivations.Figure 4 shows a bundle. The strand includes, for example 37 strands, at the head of the bundle. The cable (C) has four sections (C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄); at the rear end of each section (C₁, C₂, C₃) there is a branch of seven strands (21a) and at the rear end of the section (C₄), there are two branches of seven strands (21a) and two leads of one strand each (21a '), for a total of 37 strands. All the strands of the strand (C) were therefore used for the diversions.
