2. Description of the Related Art In a control panel or the like, many electric wires are connected to form a circuit. It is necessary to make an electric wire with a terminal for such connection. When crimping a terminal to the tip of an electric wire, a method is available in which an electric wire whose tip is stripped so as to expose the core wire is prepared in advance, and the core wire is inserted into a separately supplied tubular portion of the terminal to be compressed and deformed in the radial direction. An apparatus for crimping such electric wire terminals is known in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57191/1987. However, in the prior art, the terminal is not used as a single part (bare terminal), the terminal is inserted into a strip-shaped member having a tubular portion at a predetermined pitch, and the strip-shaped member is wound around a drum in a chain type. A cassette-type terminal magazine is used in which reels or disks having fitting grooves with a predetermined pitch on the outer circumference are used and terminals are packed in the fitting grooves. For this reason, crimping of terminals requires a separate process for making chained reels and terminal magazines by using a dedicated automatic terminal loading device, which reduces the efficiency of the entire process due to setup changes, and magazines and drums. Since the belt-shaped member is required, the cost is very high in combination with the need for a dedicated automatic terminal loading device. Further, in the chain type reel system, since the belt-shaped member and the drum become dust, there are problems in saving resources and energy. The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a first object of the present invention is to arrange aligned bare terminals without supplying any special terminal carrier by simply supplying them to each other. An object of the present invention is to provide an electric wire terminal supply crimping device capable of positioning and crimping. A second object of the present invention is to provide an electric wire terminal supply crimping device capable of easily, accurately and reliably inserting a strip electric wire for crimping into a crimping machine.

When the terminal is connected to the electric wire B, the coating of the tip of each electric wire B is removed to remove the strip core wire b.
After exposing, the bare terminal 10 in a loose state is loaded into the bowl 2a of the terminal feeder 2. When the power switch of the controller 9 is turned on, the terminal feeder 2 is driven to rotationally vibrate the bowl 2a, whereby the bare terminal 10 is moved toward the outer edge of the bowl while climbing up the runway 20 and reaches the runway terminal. From the inclined guide path 200 to the terminal portion 1
00 is slipped off first, and the terminal portions 100 are successively inserted into the fitting grooves 40. The tubular portion 101 of the bare terminal 10 projects from the fitting groove 40. Each bare terminal 10 in which the terminal portion 100 is housed in the fitting groove 40 is sequentially moved by the vibration of the guide member 4, and reaches the end of the guide member 4. In the meantime, the bare terminal 10 ′ having an improper posture as shown in FIG. 6 passes through the falling groove 202, drops there, and is returned to the bowl 2 a via the tray 22. At the end of the guiding member 4, there is a linear guide 4a having an alignment groove 40 that is aligned with the fitting groove 40. Since the linear guide 4a is reciprocally oscillated by the vibrator 41 and the leaf spring 42, the alignment groove 4 is formed.
The bare terminals 10 that have reached 0 are sequentially fed while being arranged in parallel in the alignment groove 40 due to vibration and a drop. Since the alignment groove 40 of the straight guide 4a is gradually oriented from the vertical state to the horizontal direction, the bare terminal 10 is also gradually laid down horizontally, and is fed to the terminal transport mechanism 6 in this state. Now, the crimping work can be started.

Since the end of the linear guide 4a reaches the terminal transfer mechanism 6 and the end opening of the alignment groove 40 leads to the terminal receiving base 60 of the transfer base 6b at the standby position, as shown in FIG. The bare terminal 10 on the upstream side is pushed out from the alignment groove 40 by pressure from the subsequent bare terminal 10 and is transferred to the terminal pedestal 600. That is, only the flat terminal portion 100 has the tubular portion 101 protruding forward from the terminal receiving base 600.
No. 0 is accepted. When the operation switch of the controller 9 is pressed, the positioning actuator 6e on the upper portion of the carrier 6b is activated by the timer T4 after a certain time, and the pin 6f descends from the standby position. At this time, the width W of the terminal pedestal 60 is substantially the same as the width of the terminal portion 100, and the position correction wall 600 rises on the side opposite to the feed-in side. Therefore, the bare terminal 10 cannot be moved by the position correction wall 600. Regulated. However, since the bare terminal 10 is only pushed out from the alignment groove 40 by the succeeding bare terminal, the direction and the posture tend to be uneven as shown in FIG. 16 (a), and if it is conveyed to the crimping machine side as it is, The part axis is displaced from the insertion line of the core wire B, that is, the center of the electric wire guide 7.

However, according to the present invention, the terminal pedestal 60 is provided with the vertical hole 602 having substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the terminal portion 100, and the protrusion 605 of the pin 6f lowered as described above is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5 (b) and FIG. 16 (b), it is inserted into the vertical hole 602 so as to intersect with the inner diameter of the terminal portion 100. When the inner diameter of the terminal portion 100 is aligned with the protrusion 605, the terminal portion 100
Does not move, and the terminal block 60 is directly held by the pressing portion 606.
When the terminal part 100 is displaced as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 16 (a), the inner diameter 102 of the terminal part 100 and the protrusion 605 are misaligned. When the inner diameter surface 102 of the terminal portion is in contact with the peripheral surface of the protrusion 605, the inner diameter surface 102 of the terminal portion is horizontally moved by the amount of the shift. That is, FIG. 16 (a)
It can be moved slightly to the right and forward as indicated by the arrow from (b). As a result, as shown in FIGS. 15B and 16B, the right side surface of the terminal portion 100 abuts on the position correction wall 600, and the cylindrical portion 1
A state in which the axial end surface of 01 abuts the position correcting member 6g so that the posture is automatically adjusted, the cylinder axis is correctly aligned with the core of the wire guide 7, and the protruding amount of the cylinder 101 is set appropriately. Becomes When the pin 6f is further lowered in this state, the pressing portion 606 clamps the terminal portion 100 between the terminal portion 100 and the terminal receiving base 60, and the positioning is fixed.

Then, when the transport actuator 6c is operated, the transport base 6b advances toward the crimping machine 5 while the bare terminal 10 is positioned and fixed by the pin 6f, and at this time, the position correcting member 6g causes the tubular portion of the bare terminal 10 to move. Since it is pressed by 101, it automatically opens. When the carriage 6b reaches the forward end, the tubular portion 101 is placed on the lower crimp fitting 5b. Following the stop at the forward end of the carrier 6b, the wire guide actuator 7c operates. That is, in the embodiment of FIG. 10, the levers 72a and 72b are moved by the protrusion of the piston against the expansion force of the first and second springs 75 and 76. 11 and 12, the piston 700 retracts against the spring force of the spring 703, so that the lever 701,
701 closes and fingers 702, 702 approach.
The half-split bodies 7a and 7b that had been in the open state until then are united, and as a result, the small-diameter hole 7 coaxial with the axis of the cylindrical portion of the bare terminal
0 and taper hole 71 are formed. Therefore, the electric wire B on which the strip core wire b is formed in advance is inserted into the electric wire guide 7. This wire insertion operation is easy because it is smoothly guided by the tapered hole 71 in a centripetal manner, and the strip core wire b
17 does not protrude (burr) into the tubular portion 101, and the strip core wire b is accurately inserted into the inlet of the terminal tubular portion 101 through the small-diameter hole 70 as shown in FIGS.

The electric wire guide 7 is electrically insulated from other devices, and a weak voltage of, for example, about 5 V is applied to the other devices from the weak power source 120 of the switch circuit 12. Therefore, as described above, the electric wire B is inserted into the two split bodies 7a and 7b in the combined state, and the strip core wire b contacts the tip of the small diameter hole 70 or the tapered hole 71 as shown in FIG. When it contacts with, a minute current flows between the wire guide mechanism 7 and the bare terminal 10 via the wire B. As a result, the switch circuit 12 is closed, the contacts of the electric circuit of the controller 9 are closed via the relay, and the operation of the wire guide actuator 7c is turned off. With this, the halves 7a and 7b are opened. Then, the pressing actuator 5c is actuated after a predetermined time by the timer T1, and is held for the time set by the timer T3. When the crimping fitting 5a is activated by the crimping actuator 5c, the positioning actuator 6e is activated by the timer T2.
Reversely operates and raises the pin 6f.

As the electric wire guide 7 is opened as described above, the electric wire B is released from the regulated insertion length. Therefore, if the electric wire B is pushed in the axial direction, the strip core wire b is extended to the root as shown in FIG. It can be inserted into the terminal tube portion 101. In this state, the crimping actuator 5c operates and the crimping metal fitting 5a strongly presses the tubular portion 101.
Is biased and integrated with the electric wire B. While the crimping metal fitting 5a is operating, the pin 6f is lifted by the operation of the positioning actuator 6e, whereby the fixing of the terminal portion 100 is released. When the pin 6f returns to the standby position, the transfer actuator 6c operates, and the transfer table 6b returns to the retracted limit position. With this retreat, the position correcting member 6g is closed by the spring 66, and the subsequent terminal is replenished to the linear guide 4a by the vibration of the vibrator, so that the next terminal at the end of the linear guide 4a is pushed into the terminal pedestal 60. On the other hand, as described above, when the crimping actuator 5c is moved after the time set by the timer T3 elapses, the ejector actuator 8b is actuated, and the main body 8a projects for the time determined by the timer T5. As a result, the bare terminal 10 integrated with the electric wire B is projected, and at this time the electric wire guide 7 is in an open state, so that the product can be easily taken out from the open space. With the above, one pressure bonding is completed, and by repeating the above cycle, the pressure bonding is efficiently performed.

According to the first aspect of the present invention described above, the terminals are automatically conveyed sequentially in an aligned state by simply inserting the bare terminals 10 in a loose state into the terminal feeder.
Before the terminals are fed into the crimping machine one by one, the direction and posture are automatically corrected, the positioning is fixed and the terminals are fed into the crimping machine, and therefore the stripped core wire can be inserted to perform accurate and reliable crimping. Therefore, it is not necessary to pack the terminals in a magazine in a separate process from a separate device, or to make a coiled chain-type reel, so that the process is simple and the work efficiency is improved, and the cost can be significantly reduced. The excellent effect of becoming is obtained. According to claim 2, since the wire guide has the tapered hole, the strip core wire can be easily inserted, and the wire guide can be freely opened and closed.
Since it is a split body, the strip core wire can be inserted into the terminal tube part to the original, it is easy to take out after crimping, and by inserting the wire, it automatically crimps with the wire guide 7 by contacting it with the terminal. Since the drive unit of the machine is switched and the opening operation of the wire guide 7 and the operation of the crimping machine are performed, there is an excellent effect that the strip wire can be inserted and crimped with extremely good operability.
