Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Montagevorrichtung zur Montage eines Steckers an einem Kabel, insbesondere ein geschirmtes Hochvoltkabel.The invention relates to a mounting device for mounting a plug on a cable, in particular a shielded high-voltage cable.

Unter Hochvoltkabel wird vorliegend ein Kabel zur elektrischen Leistungsübertragung verstanden, welches zumindest zwei von einem gemeinsamen Leitungsmantel umgebene Adern aufweist. Das Kabel ist dabei geeignet zur Übertragung von Strömen im Bereich von mehreren Ampere und ist ausgelegt zur Übertragung von Spannungen im Bereich von mehreren 100 Volt. Derartige Hochvolt-Kabel werden insbesondere in Montagekraftfahrzeugen zur Versorgung beispielsweise von elektrischen Fahrmotoren eingesetzt.In the present case, a high-voltage cable is understood to mean a cable for electrical power transmission which has at least two wires surrounded by a common cable sheath. The cable is suitable for the transmission of currents in the range of several amperes and is designed for the transmission of voltages in the range of several 100 volts. Such high-voltage cables are used in particular in assembly vehicles for supplying electrical traction motors, for example.

Derartige Hochvolt-Kabel weisen typischerweise eine Schirmung auf. Bei der Konfektionierung eines derartigen Kabels, also bei der endseitigen Anbringung eines Steckers, muss insbesondere aufgrund der hohen im Betrieb auftretenden Spannungen eine korrekte Montage gewährleistet sein, um einem eventuell sicherheitskritischen Ausfall des Kabels vorzubeugen. Der Stecker weist dabei üblicherweise einen Kontaktträger auf, in dem Buchsen- oder Steckkontakte gelagert sind, an denen ein jeweiliger Leiter des Kabels kontaktiert ist. Der Kontaktträger selber ist dabei typischerweise ein in etwa zylindrisches Kunststoffteil mit entsprechenden Aufnahmen für die Kontakte. Bei dem Kabel handelt es sich üblicherweise um ein geschirmtes Kabel, wobei die Schirmung des Kabels über den Stecker kontaktiert ist. Hierzu weist der Stecker typischerweise eine Schirmhülse auf, die beispielsweise zumindest teilweise auch über den Kontaktträger überstülpt ist und einen elektrischen Kontakt mit einer Metallhülse des Steckergehäuses herstellt.Such high-voltage cables typically have a shield. When assembling such a cable, i.e. when attaching a plug at the end, correct assembly must be ensured, in particular due to the high voltages occurring during operation, in order to prevent a possibly safety-critical failure of the cable. The plug usually has a contact carrier in which socket or plug contacts are mounted, on which a respective conductor of the cable is contacted. The contact carrier itself is typically an approximately cylindrical plastic part with corresponding receptacles for the contacts. The cable is usually a shielded cable, the shielding of the cable being contacted via the plug. For this purpose, the plug typically has a shielding sleeve which, for example, is also at least partially slipped over the contact carrier and makes electrical contact with a metal sleeve of the plug housing.

Der Kontaktträger weist dabei üblicherweise Rastelemente auf, mit denen er im endmontierten Zustand im Steckergehäuse verrastet ist.The contact carrier usually has locking elements with which it is locked in the connector housing in the final assembled state.

Bei einer fehlerhaften Montage des Steckers besteht zum einen die Gefahr, dass die einzelnen Adern des Kabels verletzt werden, so dass dadurch eine erhöhte Kurzschlussgefahr besteht. Weiterhin besteht auch die Gefahr einer nicht korrekten Positionierung des Kontaktträgers innerhalb des Steckers, was ebenfalls zu Fehlfunktionen führen kann.If the connector is incorrectly installed, there is, on the one hand, the risk that the individual wires of the cable will be damaged, resulting in an increased risk of short circuits. Furthermore, there is also the risk of incorrect positioning of the contact carrier within the plug, which can also lead to malfunctions.

Aus der JP H06 80293 U ist eine Montagehilfe zu entnehmen, die nach Art einer handbetätigten Zange ausgebildet ist. Sie dient zum Einstecken eines Halters in ein Steckergehäuse. Der Halter weist Kontaktstifte auf und an dem Halter ist ein Flachkabel angeschlossen, dessen Leiter mit den Kontaktstiften des Halters verbunden sind. Das Flachkabel ist durch einen Schlitz in der Montagehilfe durchgeführt, so dass ein Biegen und ein Beschädigen des Flachkabels vermieden ist.From the JP H06 80293 U an assembly aid can be found that is designed in the manner of hand-operated pliers. It is used to insert a holder into a connector housing. The holder has contact pins and a flat cable is connected to the holder, the conductors of which are connected to the contact pins of the holder. The flat cable is passed through a slot in the assembly aid, so that bending and damage to the flat cable is avoided.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Montagevorrichtung anzugeben, mit der eine zuverlässige und sichere Konfektionierung eines Kabels, also eine zuverlässige Montage des Steckers am Kabel gewährleistet ist.Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object of specifying an assembly device with which a reliable and safe assembly of a cable, that is, a reliable assembly of the plug on the cable, is ensured.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung gelöst durch eine Montagevorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Die Montagevorrichtung dient allgemein zur Montage eines Steckers an einem Kabel, speziell ein Hochvoltkabel und insbesondere ein geschirmtes Hochvoltkabel. Bei dem Kabel handelt es sich dabei insbesondere um ein zweiadriges Kabel. Der Stecker weist dabei allgemein ein Steckergehäuse sowie einen Kontaktträger auf, welcher an einer vorgegebenen Position innerhalb des Steckergehäuses mit diesem über zumindest ein Rastelement verrastbar ist. Für eine zuverlässige Montage weist die Montagevorrichtung dabei auf:

  • Einen Halter für das Steckergehäuse mit dem darin in einer Vormontageposition einliegenden Kontaktträger,
  • einem Gegenlager mit einem Druckzapfen zum Eindrücken des Kontaktträgers in das Steckergehäuse aus der Vormontageposition in eine Endmontageposition,
  • einen Vorschub zur automatischen Relativverschiebung des Halters und des Gegenlagers gegeneinander, wobei bevorzugt der Halter gegen das Gegenlager verschoben wird,
  • eine Kraftmesseinheit, die eine bei der Relativverschiebung ausgeübte Montagekraft misst, also insbesondere die Montagekraft, mit der der Kontaktträger in das Steckergehäuse eingepresst wird,
  • eine Auswerteeinheit, über die die gemessene Montagekraft überprüft wird, ob sie innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Toleranzbereichs liegt sowie
  • eine Ausgabeeinheit zur Ausgabe eines Kontrollsignals, ob die Montage in Ordnung oder fehlerhaft war.
The object is achieved according to the invention by a mounting device with the features of claim 1. The mounting device is used in general to mount a plug on a cable, specifically a high-voltage cable and in particular a shielded high-voltage cable. The cable is in particular a two-wire cable. The plug generally has a plug housing and a contact carrier, which at a predetermined position within the plug housing with the latter via at least one latching element is lockable. For reliable assembly, the assembly device has:
  • A holder for the connector housing with the contact carrier lying in it in a pre-assembly position,
  • a counter bearing with a pressure pin for pressing the contact carrier into the connector housing from the pre-assembly position into a final assembly position,
  • a feed for the automatic relative displacement of the holder and the counter bearing against each other, whereby the holder is preferably moved against the counter bearing,
  • a force measuring unit that measures an assembly force exerted during the relative displacement, i.e. in particular the assembly force with which the contact carrier is pressed into the connector housing,
  • an evaluation unit, via which the measured assembly force is checked whether it is within a specified tolerance range and
  • an output unit for outputting a control signal as to whether the assembly was OK or faulty.

Mit dieser Montagevorrichtung ist damit eine zumindest teilautomatisierte und damit prozesssichere Überwachung der Montage erreicht. Die Überwachung erfolgt hierbei vorzugsweise halbautomatisch. Das Einlegen des vormontierten Steckers in die Vorrichtung erfolgt dabei beispielsweise manuell. Die Relativverschiebung zwischen Halter und Gegenlager sowie die Messerfassung und die Auswertung der Messergebnisse erfolgen dann insbesondere vollautomatisch.With this assembly device, an at least partially automated and thus process-reliable monitoring of the assembly is achieved. The monitoring is preferably carried out semi-automatically. The preassembled plug is inserted into the device manually, for example. The relative displacement between the holder and the counter bearing as well as the measurement acquisition and the evaluation of the measurement results then take place in particular fully automatically.

Die Ausgestaltung dieser Montagevorrichtung mit der integrierten Montagekraftüberwachung der beim Zusammenfügen des Kontaktträgers und des Steckergehäuses aufgewandte Montagekraft beruht dabei auf der Überlegung, dass diese aufgewandte Montagekraft üblicherweise innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Toleranzbereichs liegt, sofern eine korrekte Montage erfolgt. So weist eine zu hohe Montagekraft darauf hin, dass beispielsweise die Adern beschädigt werden oder sonstige Verformungen von Steckerbauteilen erfolgen. Eine zu geringe Montagekraft deutet beispielsweise darauf hin, dass nicht die korrekte Relativposition zwischen Kontaktträger und Steckergehäuse eingenommen wurde.The design of this assembly device with the integrated assembly force monitoring of the assembly force applied when joining the contact carrier and the connector housing is based on the consideration that this applied assembly force is usually within a specified tolerance range, provided that the assembly is correct. If the assembly force is too high, this indicates that, for example, the wires will be damaged or other deformations of connector components will occur. Too little assembly force indicates, for example, that the correct relative position between contact carrier and connector housing has not been assumed.

In zweckdienlicher Ausgestaltung ist zusätzlich ein Sensor zur Überwachung der korrekten Relativposition zwischen dem Steckergehäuse und dem Kontaktträger vorgesehen und die Auswerteeinheit ist weiterhin zur Überprüfung eingerichtet, ob die korrekte Relativposition eingenommen ist.In an expedient embodiment, a sensor is additionally provided for monitoring the correct relative position between the connector housing and the contact carrier, and the evaluation unit is also set up to check whether the correct relative position has been assumed.

Hierdurch wird also sichergestellt, dass die beiden Teile korrekt zueinander montiert sind, sodass die Rastelemente auch ineinander greifen. Insgesamt werden daher bei der Montagevorrichtung zwei unabhängige Parameter überwacht, nämlich einerseits die Montagekraft und andererseits die Montageposition. Ein i. O.-Signal wird dabei von der Ausgabeeinheit zweckdienlicherweise nur dann ausgegeben, wenn beide Kriterien / Parameter innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Toleranzbereiches liegen. Insgesamt ist dadurch eine zuverlässige Prozessüberwachung bei der Konfektionierung des Steckers erreicht.This ensures that the two parts are correctly assembled to one another so that the latching elements also interlock. Overall, therefore, two independent parameters are monitored in the assembly device, namely on the one hand the assembly force and on the other hand the assembly position. An i. The O. signal is expediently only output by the output unit if both criteria / parameters are within a specified tolerance range lie. Overall, this achieves reliable process monitoring when assembling the connector.

Zweckdienlicherweise wird der Halter im Betrieb mit den darin einliegenden Stecker gegen das Gegenlager verschoben. Dabei drückt der Druckzapfen den Kontaktträger in das Steckergehäuse hinein.The holder is expediently moved against the counter bearing with the plug inserted therein during operation. The pressure pin pushes the contact carrier into the connector housing.

Zweckdienlicherweise ist daher vorgesehen, dass die Kraftmesseinheit die auf das Gegenlager, speziell die auf den Druckzapfen ausgeübte Kraft misst.It is therefore expediently provided that the force measuring unit measures the force exerted on the counter bearing, specifically the force exerted on the pressure pin.

Speziell handelt es sich bei der Kraftmesseinheit um eine Kraftmessdose.In particular, the force measuring unit is a load cell.

Zweckdienlicherweise ist der zusätzliche Sensor als ein Positionssensor ausgebildet, der die Relativposition zwischen dem Halter und dem Gegenlager misst. Diese Ausgestaltung beruht auf der Überlegung, dass die Relativposition des Halters bezüglich des Gegenlagers korreliert zu der Relativposition zwischen Steckergehäuse und Kontaktträger. Es braucht daher keine aufwändige direkte Messung der Relativposition zwischen dem Steckergehäuse und Kontaktträger vorgenommen werden. Eine korrekte Relativposition zwischen diesen beiden Teilen ist dann gegeben, wenn Halter und Gegenlager eine definierte Position zueinander einnehmen.The additional sensor is expediently designed as a position sensor which measures the relative position between the holder and the counter bearing. This refinement is based on the consideration that the relative position of the holder with respect to the counter bearing correlates to the relative position between the connector housing and the contact carrier. There is therefore no need for a complex direct measurement of the relative position between the connector housing and the contact carrier. A correct relative position between these two parts is given when the holder and the counter bearing occupy a defined position with respect to one another.

In konstruktiver Hinsicht weist der Halter zweckdienlicherweise ein vorderes sowie ein rückwärtiges Halteteil zur Fixierung des Steckergehäuses zwischen diesen beiden Halteteilen auf. Wenn das Steckergehäuse zwischen den beiden Halteteilen einliegt entspricht daher der Abstand zwischen den beiden Halteteilen einer definierten Steckerlänge. Durch die beiden Halteteile wird dann das Steckergehäuse definiert in Richtung zum Gegenlager verschoben. Der Druckzapfen drückt dann den Kontaktträger in das Steckergehäuse hinein.From a structural point of view, the holder expediently has a front and a rear holding part for fixing the connector housing between these two holding parts. When the connector housing rests between the two holding parts, the distance between the two holding parts therefore corresponds to a defined plug length. The connector housing is then displaced in a defined manner in the direction of the counter bearing by the two holding parts. The pressure pin then pushes the contact carrier into the connector housing.

Das rückwärtige Halteteil weist dabei zur Aufnahme der dabei ausgeübten Montagekraft ein rückwärtiges Widerlager auf, an dem sich das Steckergehäuse abstützt. Dieses Widerlager ist dabei beispielsweise durch einen insbesondere teilringförmigen Steg gebildet, in den das rückseitig am Steckergehäuse austretende Kabel eingelegt werden kann.The rear holding part has a rear abutment on which the connector housing is supported in order to absorb the assembly force exerted. This abutment is for example by an in particular partially annular Formed web into which the cable exiting the connector housing on the back can be inserted.

Gemäß einer zweckdienlichen Ausgestaltung weist das vordere Halteteil ein vorderes Anlageelement für das Steckergehäuse auf, welches eine Durchtrittsöffnung für den Druckzapfen aufweist. Das Anlageelement ist dabei beispielsweise als ein Teilring und insbesondere als ein Ringelement ausgebildet, gegen das sich das Steckergehäuse mit seiner Stirnseite abstützt.According to an expedient embodiment, the front holding part has a front contact element for the plug housing, which has a passage opening for the pressure pin. The contact element is designed, for example, as a partial ring and in particular as a ring element against which the connector housing is supported with its end face.

Um ein einfaches Einlegen des Steckergehäuses in den Halter zu ermöglichen sind die beiden Halteteile relativ zueinander verschiebbar. Dabei ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die beiden Halteteile mit einer gewissen Kraft, beispielsweise Federkraft aufeinander gedrückt werden, sodass das Steckergehäuse mit einer gewissen Haltekraft zwischen den beiden Halteteilen eingeklemmt ist.In order to enable the connector housing to be easily inserted into the holder, the two holding parts can be displaced relative to one another. It is preferably provided that the two holding parts are pressed against one another with a certain force, for example spring force, so that the connector housing is clamped between the two holding parts with a certain holding force.

Das in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Kabel 2 ist insbesondere als ein Hochvolt-Kabel ausgebildet. Es umfasst dabei mehrere Adern 4, im Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Adern, welche von einem Mantel 6 umgeben sind. Die beiden Adern 4 sind üblicherweise in hier nicht näher dargestellter Weise von einer Schirmung, beispielsweise ein Schirmgeflecht umgeben.That in the Fig. 1 The cable 2 shown is designed in particular as a high-voltage cable. It comprises several wires 4, in the exemplary embodiment two wires, which are surrounded by a jacket 6. The two wires 4 are usually surrounded by a shield, for example a braided shield, in a manner not shown here.

An einem Stirnende des Kabels 2 wird ein Stecker 8 angeordnet. Dieser weist als wesentliche Komponenten ein Steckergehäuse 10 sowie einen Kontaktträger 12 auf. Weiterhin ist insbesondere noch eine Schirmhülse 14 vorgesehen, welche nach außen aufgebogene Arme 16 aufweist.A plug 8 is arranged at one end of the cable 2. This has a connector housing 10 and a contact carrier 12 as essential components. Furthermore, a shielding sleeve 14 is also provided in particular, which has arms 16 bent outwards.

Das Steckergehäuse 10 ist vorzugsweise mehrteilig ausgebildet und weist eine innenliegende Metallhülse 18 auf, die nach hinten aus einem Außenteil des Steckergehäuses 10 hervorragt. Das Außenteil sowie der Kontaktträger 12 bestehen aus einem Isolierwerkstoff, insbesondere Kunststoff. Die Schirmhülse 14 besteht demgegenüber aus einem leitfähigen Material, insbesondere Metall. Im endmontierten Zustand kontaktiert die Schirmhülse 14 mit ihren radial nach außen abstehenden Armen die Innenwandung der Metallhülse 18 innerhalb des Steckergehäuses 10. Weiterhin umfasst im Ausführungsbeispiel der Stecker 8 noch ein Dichtungselement 20, welches im endmontierten Zustand von hinten gegen das Steckergehäuse 10 und insbesondere gegen die Metallhülse 18 gepresst wird. Hierzu ist im Ausführungsbeispiel eine Schraubmutter 22 vorgesehen, welcher mit einem rückwärtigen, konischen Teilbereich des Außenteils des Steckergehäuses 10 verschraubbar ist.The connector housing 10 is preferably designed in several parts and has an inner metal sleeve 18 which protrudes towards the rear from an outer part of the connector housing 10. The outer part and the contact carrier 12 consist of an insulating material, in particular plastic. In contrast, the shielding sleeve 14 consists of a conductive material, in particular metal. In the final assembled state, the shielding sleeve 14 contacts the inner wall of the metal sleeve 18 within the connector housing 10 with its radially outwardly protruding arms Metal sleeve 18 is pressed. For this purpose, a screw nut 22 is provided in the exemplary embodiment, which screw nut can be screwed to a rear, conical partial area of the outer part of the plug housing 10.

Der Kontaktträger 12 weist eine erste Rastnase 24 auf, die radial außenseitig beispielsweise in einem mittleren Bereich angeordnet ist. Am rückwärtigen Ende weist im Ausführungsbeispiel der Kontaktträger 12 elastische Finger auf, welche Rastlaschen 26 bilden. Sowohl die Rastnase 24 als auch die Rastlaschen 26 verrasten in einer Endmontageposition mit entsprechenden Gegenelementen am Steckergehäuse 10, speziell an dessen Außenteil aus Kunststoff.The contact carrier 12 has a first latching lug 24 which is arranged radially on the outside, for example in a central region. At the rear end, in the exemplary embodiment, the contact carrier 12 has elastic fingers which form latching tabs 26. Both the locking lug 24 and the locking tabs 26 lock in a final assembly position with corresponding counter-elements on the connector housing 10, especially on its outer part made of plastic.

Innerhalb des Kontaktträgers 12 sind hier nicht näher dargestellte Kontaktelemente, beispielsweise Kontaktbuchsen oder auch Kontaktstifte angeordnet. Die Leiter der beiden Adern 4 sind dabei mit diesen Kontaktelementen elektrisch kontaktiert. Der Kontaktträger 12 weist üblicherweise eine zumindest annähernd runde Querschnittsgeometrie auf.Within the contact carrier 12, contact elements (not shown in greater detail), for example contact sockets or contact pins, are arranged. The conductors of the two wires 4 are electrically contacted with these contact elements. The contact carrier 12 usually has an at least approximately round cross-sectional geometry.

Die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellte Montagevorrichtung 28 dient zur halbautomatisierten Montage und Überwachung des Montagevorgangs des Steckers 8.The ones in the Figures 2 and 3 The assembly device 28 shown serves for the semi-automated assembly and monitoring of the assembly process of the plug 8.

In einem ersten Schritt wird das Kabel ausgehend von der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Situation in Vormontageposition gebracht. Hierzu wird das Steckergehäuse 10 nach vorne über den Kontaktträger 12 geschoben, bis dieser zumindest weitgehend innerhalb des Steckergehäuses 10 einliegt. Das so vorbereitete Kabel wird dann in die Montagevorrichtung 28 eingelegt. Mittels dieser wird der Kontaktträger 12 mit einer Montagekraft F relativ zum Steckergehäuse 10 verschoben bis die Rastnase 24 sowie die Rastlaschen 26 einrasten. Dies definiert die korrekte Endmontageposition. Die aufgewandte Montagekraft F wird dabei von der Montagevorrichtung 28 überwacht. Parallel wird auch die korrekte Relativposition zwischen Kontaktträger 12 und Steckergehäuse 10 überwacht. Für die Überwachung ist innerhalb der Montagevorrichtung eine hier nicht näher dargestellte Auswerteeinheit vorgesehen. Im Falle einer korrekten Montage wird ein entsprechendes i. O.-Signal auf einer Ausgabeeinheit 30 der Montagevorrichtung ausgegeben. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist diese Ausgabeeinheit 30 ein Display.In a first step, the cable is installed based on the in Fig. 1 brought the situation shown in the pre-assembly position. For this purpose, the connector housing 10 is pushed forward over the contact carrier 12 until it is at least largely within the connector housing 10. The cable prepared in this way is then placed in the assembly device 28. By means of this, the contact carrier 12 is displaced relative to the connector housing 10 with an assembly force F until the latching lug 24 and the latching tabs 26 engage. This defines the correct final assembly position. The assembly force F applied is monitored by the assembly device 28. In parallel, the correct relative position between contact carrier 12 and connector housing 10 is also monitored. An evaluation unit, not shown in detail here, is provided within the assembly device for monitoring. In the case of a correct assembly, a corresponding i. O. signal is output on an output unit 30 of the assembly device. In the exemplary embodiment, this output unit 30 is a display.

Beispielsweise ist die Montagevorrichtung 28 insgesamt in etwa L-förmig ausgebildet, wie dies anhand der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist. Insbesondere umfasst die Montagevorrichtung einen Montagetisch 32, welcher nachfolgend im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 3 näher erläutert wird. Im vertikalen Teilbereich der Montagevorrichtung 28 ist die bereits erwähnte Ausgabeeinheit 30 integriert. Auch die Auswerteeinheit ist beispielsweise in diesem vertikalen Teilbereich enthalten.For example, the assembly device 28 is designed to be approximately L-shaped as a whole, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 can be found. In particular, the assembly device comprises an assembly table 32, which is described below in connection with the Fig. 3 is explained in more detail. The aforementioned output unit 30 is integrated in the vertical sub-area of the assembly device 28. The evaluation unit is also contained, for example, in this vertical sub-area.

Wie insbesondere aus der Fig. 3 hervorgeht, sind auf dem Montagetisch 32 ein Halter 34 mit einem vorderen Halteteil 34A sowie mit einem rückwärtigen Halteteil 34B angeordnet. Gegenüberliegend zum Halter 34 ist ein Gegenlager 36 platziert, welches ein zum Halter 34 hin orientierten Druckzapfen 38 aufweist. Am Gegenlager 36 ist ergänzend noch eine als Kraftmessdose ausgebildete Kraftmesseinheit 40 angeordnet, die zur Erfassung der ausgeübten Montagekraft F dient. Im rückwärtigen Bereich, also gegenüberliegend zum Gegenlager 36, sind ergänzend noch Führungselemente 42 zur Führung des Kabels 2 vorgesehen.As in particular from the Fig. 3 As can be seen, a holder 34 with a front holding part 34A and with a rear holding part 34B are arranged on the assembly table 32. A counter bearing 36 is placed opposite the holder 34 and has a pressure pin 38 oriented towards the holder 34. In addition, a force measuring unit 40 designed as a load cell is arranged on the counter bearing 36 and serves to record the assembly force F exerted. In the rear area, that is, opposite to the counter bearing 36, guide elements 42 for guiding the cable 2 are additionally provided.

Der Halter 34 ist in Längsrichtung des Montagetisches 32 also in Richtung zum Gegenlager 36 verschiebbar gelagert. Die Verschiebung erfolgt dabei mit Hilfe eines Vorschubs 44, beispielsweise eines elektromotorisch angetriebenen Spindelantriebs. Über diesen Vorschub 44 wird die erforderliche Montagekraft F ausgeübt.The holder 34 is mounted so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the assembly table 32 in the direction of the counter bearing 36. The displacement takes place with the aid of a feed 44, for example a spindle drive driven by an electric motor. The required assembly force F is exerted via this advance 44.

Das vordere Halteteil 34A weist ein in etwa ringförmiges Anlageelement mit einer kreisrunden Durchtrittsöffnung 46 auf. Gegen das ringförmige Anlageelement wird das Steckergehäuse mit seiner frontseitigen Stirnseite gelegt.The front holding part 34A has an approximately annular contact element with a circular passage opening 46. The connector housing is placed with its front face against the ring-shaped contact element.

Das rückwärtige Halteteil 34B ist dabei in etwa u-förmig ausgebildet, sodass das Steckergehäuse 10 mit seinem rückseitigen Ende, speziell mit der Metallhülse 18 in das rückwärtige Halteteil 34B eingelegt werden kann. Das rückwärtige Halteteil 34B weist ergänzend noch ein Widerlager 48 auf, welches beispielsweise als ein teilringförmiger Steg ausgebildet ist. Dessen lichte Weite ist dabei geringer als der Außendurchmesser der Metallhülse 18, sodass diese sich an dem Widerlager 48 abstützt. Ergänzend ist weiterhin vorgesehen, dass die beiden Halteteile 34A, 34B relativ zueinander sich in Längsrichtung verschieben lassen, um ein einfaches Einlegen des Steckergehäuses 10 zwischen diese beiden Halteteile 34A, 34B zu ermöglichen.The rear holding part 34B is approximately U-shaped so that the connector housing 10 can be inserted with its rear end, especially with the metal sleeve 18, into the rear holding part 34B. The rear holding part 34B also has an abutment 48, which is designed, for example, as a partially annular web. Its clear width is smaller than the outer diameter of the metal sleeve 18, so that it is supported on the abutment 48. In addition, it is also provided that the two holding parts 34A, 34B can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to one another in order to enable the plug housing 10 to be easily inserted between these two holding parts 34A, 34B.

Ergänzend umfasst die Montagevorrichtung 28 noch einen Positionssensor 50, über den die Relativposition zwischen dem Halter 34 und dem Gegenlager 36 gemessen wird. Im Ausführungsbeispiel weist dieser Positionsstifte auf, die beim Verfahren gegen das Gegenlager 36 entgegen der Längsrichtung nach hinten verschoben werden. Diese Stifte sind im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Figur 3 unterhalb der Durchtrittsöffnung 46 und speziell am vorderen Halteteil 34A angeordnet.In addition, the assembly device 28 also includes a position sensor 50, via which the relative position between the holder 34 and the counter bearing 36 is measured. In the exemplary embodiment, this has positioning pins which, when moving against the counter bearing 36, are displaced backwards counter to the longitudinal direction. These pins are in the embodiment according to Figure 3 arranged below the passage opening 46 and especially on the front holding part 34A.

Nachdem das vorkonfektionierte Kabel 2 mit dem Steckergehäuse 10 zwischen die beiden Halteteile 34A, 34B eingelegt ist, wird der Montagevorgang automatisch gestartet. Hierzu verfährt der Halter 34 gegen das Gegenlager 36. Dabei kommt der Druckzapfen 38 in Kontakt mit der Frontseite des Kontaktträgers 12, sodass dieser in das Steckergehäuse 10 hineingepresst wird. Sobald der Positionssensor 50 die korrekte Endposition erfasst, stoppt der Vorschub und der Halter 34 wird wieder zurückgesetzt. Während dieses Vorgangs wird dabei die Montagekraft F über die Kraftmesseinheit 40 erfasst und ausgewertet. Sofern die gemessene Position sowie die gemessene Montagekraft F innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Toleranzbereichs liegt, wird ein i. O.-Signal abgegeben.After the pre-assembled cable 2 with the connector housing 10 has been inserted between the two holding parts 34A, 34B, the assembly process is started automatically. For this purpose, the holder 34 moves against the counter bearing 36. Thereby When the pressure pin 38 comes into contact with the front side of the contact carrier 12, the latter is pressed into the connector housing 10. As soon as the position sensor 50 detects the correct end position, the feed stops and the holder 34 is reset again. During this process, the assembly force F is recorded and evaluated via the force measuring unit 40. If the measured position and the measured assembly force F lie within a specified tolerance range, an i. O signal given.
