Benefits of technology

[0015] Since the adjustment dials of the crimping device according to the present invention is disposed facing to the operator, the crimp height adjustment can be readily achieved. In addition, since the crimp height adjustment mechanism for a core and the crimp height adjustment mechanism for an insulating coating are disposed on the same axis, the adjustment dials of the two adjustment mechanisms are also disposed on the same axis. Therefore, the crimping device according to the present invention can have a reduced height compared with conventional crimping devices that have the adjustment dials at positions different in the vertical direction.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the crimping device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-6849, operating the crimp height adjustment mechanism for a core and the crimp height adjustment mechanism for an insulating coating involves additional operations, such as loosening of a predetermined fastened part, so that it takes time to adjust the crimp heights.
However, the crimping device 1 disclosed in the above Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-27086 is difficult to reduce in height.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Now, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3-6.

[0023]FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a crimping device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] A crimping device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 has a housing section 101 that contains a prime mover (not shown) that drives a press ram 11, and an applicator section 102 that is attached to the housing section 101 and crimps a terminal onto a stripped end part of a wire using the force from the press ram 11.

[0025]FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the applicator section of the crimping device shown in FIG. 3, viewed from the front thereof.

[0026] For the applicator section 102, shown in FIG. 4, a terminal (not shown) is fed thereto from the left in the drawing, and a wire (not shown) with an end stripped to expose the core is fed thereto from the front in the drawing. As described in detail later, in the applicator section 102, a c...

Abstract

The present invention provides a crimping device that facilitates an adjustment operation and has a reduced height. A crimping device has a crimp height adjustment mechanism for a core of a wire onto which a terminal is to be crimped and a crimp height adjustment mechanism for an insulating coating of the wire, the mechanisms having respective adjustment dials, and the front of the crimping device facing in the opposite direction of the core. In the adjustment mechanisms, the adjustment dials thereof are disposed on the same axis so that the crimping device can have a reduced height compared with conventional crimping devices in which the adjustment mechanisms are disposed at positions different in the vertical direction.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a crimping device that has adjustment mechanisms that adjust the crimp heights for a core and an insulating coating, respectively, of a wire with an end stripped. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is desirable to have the ability to adjust the crimp height for a core and an insulated coating of a wire when a terminal is crimped onto the core and the insulating coating. Crimping devices with adjustment mechanisms for adjust the crimp heights for a core and an insulating coating of a wire with an end stripped are known. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-6849, discloses a crimping device with adjustment mechanisms. [0003] However, in the crimping device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-6849, operating the crimp height adjustment mechanism for a core and the crimp height adjustment mechanism for an insulating coating involves additional operations, such as loosening of a predetermined fastened part...
