Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire harness production equipment technology, and in particular to a terminal wire plug housing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, wire harnesses are widely used in signal transmission or power connection in traditional automobiles and new energy vehicles. When producing wire harnesses, it is necessary to first crimp terminals onto wires to form terminal wires, and then insert the terminal wires into the housing.

[0003] However, during the process of connecting the terminal wires to the housing, the existing technology lacks real-time monitoring of the connection pressure throughout the process. At the same time, for the wire harness that has already been connected, the existing technology cannot detect whether the connection between the wire harness terminals and the housing is secure. If the connection between the wire harness terminals and the housing is not secure, it is easy for the wire harness terminals to detach from the housing, affecting the signal transmission or power connection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a terminal wire insertion housing device, which aims to solve the problems of existing technologies that cannot monitor the insertion pressure during the insertion process of the terminal wire and the housing in real time, and cannot detect the insertion firmness between the terminal of the wire harness and the housing after the insertion is completed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A terminal wire insertion housing device is provided, capable of clamping a terminal wire and moving horizontally under the drive of an upward mechanism, so that the clamped terminal wire is horizontally inserted into the housing.

[0009] The wire positioning and clamping mechanism is equipped with a tension and pressure sensor. When the terminal is inserted into the housing, the tension and pressure sensor is used to detect the insertion pressure between the terminal and the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the wire clamping cylinder includes two sliding parts that can slide closer or further apart relative to each other, the wire clamping claw includes two clamping members, and the limiting cylinder includes a cylinder rod. The two clamping members are respectively installed on the corresponding two sliding parts. When the two sliding parts are closer together, they can cause the two clamping members to clamp tightly. When the cylinder rod extends and the two sliding parts move further apart relative to each other, it can cause the two clamping members to partially open. When the cylinder rod retracts and the two sliding parts move further apart relative to each other, it can cause the two clamping members to fully open.

[0013] Furthermore, the first mounting plate is provided with a vertical moving component, and the terminal positioning and clamping mechanism is mounted on the vertical moving component.

The terminal clamping cylinder, the connecting rod module, and the adjustment module are connected and all mounted on the third mounting plate. The terminal grippers are linked to the terminal clamping cylinder through the connecting rod module. The terminal clamping cylinder is used to drive the terminal grippers to open or clamp through the connecting rod module.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, a coupling, and a lead screw drive assembly. The output end of the motor is connected to the lead screw drive assembly through the coupling.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a terminal wire insertion housing device capable of clamping a terminal wire 4 and moving horizontally under the drive of an upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) to allow the clamped terminal wire 4 to be horizontally inserted into a housing 5. The terminal wire 4 includes a wire 41 and a terminal 42. The device includes: a wire positioning clamping mechanism 2, which can move vertically and is used to clamp the wire 41; a terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3, which is mounted on the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 and can move vertically and is used to clamp the terminal 42; and a driving mechanism 1, which is connected to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 and is used to drive the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 to move vertically. A tension / compression sensor 21 is provided on the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2. When the terminal 42 is inserted into the housing 5, the tension / compression sensor 21 is used to detect the insertion pressure value between the terminal 42 and the housing 5. When the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 moves the wire 41 away from the housing 5, the tension / compression sensor 21 is used to detect the tension value between the terminal 42 and the housing 5.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the process of crimping the terminal 42 to the end of the wire 41, the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 needs to be inserted into the housing 5. The housing 5 is provided with a socket, and the terminal 42 is fixedly inserted into the housing 5 through the socket.

[0040] In this embodiment, when inserting terminal 42 into the socket of housing 5, housing 5 is first fixed. Then, the terminal wire insertion housing device is moved to the position where terminal wire 4 is clamped, so that wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 clamps wire 41 and terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 clamps terminal 42. Finally, driven by the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure), the terminal wire insertion housing device is moved horizontally and the terminal 42 of terminal wire 4 is inserted into the socket of housing 5. The horizontal direction is... Figure 1 From the perspective of the terminal wire 4, it faces the insertion direction of the housing 5.

[0041] The specific process of inserting the housing 5 is as follows: When it is necessary to insert the terminal 42 into the socket of the housing 5, the drive mechanism 1 is activated. The drive mechanism 1 drives the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 to move downward in the vertical direction. Since the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 is installed on the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2, the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 moves downward in the vertical direction together with the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2. After the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 move to the position of clamping the terminal wire 4, the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 clamps the part of the wire 41 near the terminal 42, and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 clamps the terminal 42. Finally, the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) drives the entire terminal wire insertion housing device to move in the horizontal direction (the direction of the socket of the housing 5) so that the terminal wire 4 with the terminal 42 corresponds to the socket of the housing 5, and then the terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of the housing 5. Among them, the vertical direction is... Figure 1 The vertical direction shown in the viewpoint.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to further ensure the firmness of the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 inserted into the socket of the housing 5, after the terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of the housing 5, the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 is controlled to release the terminal 42 and move vertically upward on the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 to make room. Since the terminal 42 has been inserted into the socket of the housing 5 at this time, the wire 41 held by the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 is further closer to the socket of the housing 5, and the wire 41 will not become loose. At this time, the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) is controlled to continue to move horizontally forward (towards the socket of the housing 5), and the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 drives the wire 41 to be further inserted into the socket of the housing 5, so that the terminal 42 is further inserted into the socket of the housing 5.

[0043] Furthermore, after the terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of the housing 5 for the second time, the wire positioning and clamping mechanism 2 can be controlled to half open (release but hook) the wire 41, and then the wire positioning and clamping mechanism 2 can be controlled to move horizontally backward (moving horizontally away from the socket of the housing 5) by a preset distance. The wire positioning and clamping mechanism 2 continues to clamp the wire 41. Finally, the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) continues to drive the entire terminal wire insertion housing device to move towards the housing 5 so that the terminal 42 is further inserted into the socket of the housing 5 (i.e., the third insertion).

[0044] In this embodiment, by inserting the terminal 42 into the housing 5 in three separate steps, the connection between the terminal 42 and the housing 5 can be strengthened, ensuring that the terminal 42 will not easily fall off the housing 5.

[0045] To detect the firmness of the connection between terminal 42 and housing 5, the wire positioning and clamping mechanism 2 in this embodiment is equipped with a tension / compression sensor 21. Each time terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of housing 5, the tension / compression sensor 21 detects the pressure between terminal 42 and the socket of housing 5. In the first insertion, since the front part of terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of housing 5, the friction between the front part of terminal 42 and the socket of housing 5 is small, so the pressure fluctuation is small and the pressure curve is relatively flat. In the second insertion, since the middle part of terminal 42 is inserted into the socket of housing 5, the friction between the middle part of terminal 42 and the socket of housing 5 increases, so the pressure fluctuation is larger and the pressure curve is more undulating. During the third insertion, the main part of the third insertion is to insert the rear part of the terminal 42 into the socket of the housing 5. Because the diameter of the socket is small, the barb on the terminal 42 is first squeezed at the entrance of the socket and then popped open. Finally, the terminal 42 is inserted into the limit position of the housing 5. Therefore, there is a sudden change in pressure at this stage. The pressure value is the largest when it is inserted into place, and the pressure curve fluctuates greatly.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 is firmly inserted into the housing 5, the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) drives the entire terminal wire insertion housing device to pull back horizontally (away from the housing 5). At the same time, the tension sensor 21 detects the tension between the terminal 42 and the housing 5, and the display (not shown in the figure) displays the tension value in real time. When the tension value reaches the set value, the pull-back stops. Because the pull-back speed is constant, the tension increases steadily during this stage. During the process of pulling back the clamped wire 41 to reach the set tension value, if the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 does not fall out of the housing 5, the insertion of the terminal wire 4 into the housing 5 is qualified, and the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 releases the wire 41; if the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 falls out of the housing 5, the insertion of the terminal wire 4 into the housing 5 is unqualified, the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 clamps the wire 41, and moves it to the preset defective box (not shown in the figure) driven by the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure).

[0047] In one embodiment, the wire positioning and clamping mechanism 2 includes a first mounting plate 23 and a wire clamping assembly 22. The first mounting plate 23 is connected to a driving mechanism 1, which drives the first mounting plate 23 to move vertically. A tension / compression sensor 21 is mounted on the first mounting plate 23, and the wire clamping assembly 22 is mounted on the tension / compression sensor 21.

[0048] In this embodiment, the tension / compression sensor 21 provides an installation position for the wire clamping assembly 22, so that the wire clamping assembly 22 is stably installed on the tension / compression sensor 21. The wire clamping assembly 22 can clamp the wire 41. When it is necessary to position and clamp the wire 41, the drive mechanism 1 drives the first mounting plate 23 to move in the vertical direction. At the same time, the first mounting plate 23 drives the tension / compression sensor 21 and the wire clamping assembly 22 to move in the vertical direction, and finally moves the wire clamping assembly 22 to the position to clamp the wire 41.

[0049] In this embodiment, the wire clamping assembly 22 is mounted on the tension / compression sensor 21. When the wire clamping assembly 22 clamps the wire 41 and moves it towards the housing 5 and inserts it, the tension / compression sensor 21 can detect the pressure of the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 inserted into the socket of the housing 5 in a timely manner, thereby determining whether the terminal 42 can be firmly inserted based on the pressure when the terminal 42 is inserted into the housing 5. Furthermore, after the terminal 42 is firmly inserted into the housing 5, in order to detect the firmness of the terminal 42 and the housing 5, the wire clamping assembly 22 continues to clamp the wire 41 and... Driven by the ascending mechanism (not shown in the figure), the wire clamping assembly 22 moves away from the housing 5. At this time, the tension sensor 21 can detect the tension between the terminal 42 and the housing 5 in a timely manner. If the set tension value is reached, the ascending mechanism (not shown in the figure) stops moving. During the process of the wire clamping assembly 22 driving the wire 41 to move away from the housing 5, if the terminal 42 does not fall off the housing 5, it means that the terminal 42 and the housing 5 are firmly connected. If the terminal 42 falls off the housing 5, it means that the terminal 42 and the housing 5 are not firmly connected.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the wire clamping assembly 22 includes a clamping cylinder mounting base 221, a wire clamping cylinder 222, a wire gripper 223, a limiting cylinder mounting base 224, and a limiting cylinder 225. The clamping cylinder mounting base 221 is mounted on the tension / compression sensor 21. The wire clamping cylinder 222 is mounted on the clamping cylinder mounting base 221. The wire gripper 223 is mounted on the output end of the wire clamping cylinder 222. The limiting cylinder mounting base 224 is mounted on the wire clamping cylinder 222. The limiting cylinder 225 is mounted on the limiting cylinder mounting base 224. The wire clamping cylinder 222 is used to drive the wire gripper 223 to open or clamp. The limiting cylinder 225 is used to switch the wire gripper 223 to a fully open state or a half-open state.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the wire clamping assembly 22 needs to clamp the wire 41, the drive mechanism 1 moves the wire clamping assembly 22 to the position where the wire 41 is clamped. At this time, the wire clamping claw 223 is in an open state, and the wire clamping cylinder 222 drives the wire clamping claw 223 to clamp, so as to stably clamp the wire 41. When the wire clamping assembly 22 needs to release the wire 41, such as when the terminal 42 is inserted into the housing 5 for the third time, the wire clamping assembly 22 needs to partially release the wire 41 and move horizontally backward a certain distance before clamping the wire 41 again. At this time, the limiting cylinder 225 can be opened first, and then the wire clamping cylinder 222 can drive the wire clamping claw 223 to partially open, so as to release but hook the wire 41, thereby enabling the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure) to drive the wire clamping assembly 22 to move horizontally backward without causing the wire 41 to droop and bend.

[0052] Please see Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the wire clamping cylinder 222 includes two sliding portions 2221 that can slide closer or further apart relative to each other, the wire clamp 223 includes two clamping members 2231, and the limiting cylinder 225 includes a cylinder rod 2251. The two clamping members 2231 are respectively installed on the corresponding two sliding portions 2221. When the two sliding portions 2221 are closer to each other, they can drive the two clamping members 2231 to clamp. When the cylinder rod 2251 extends and the two sliding portions 2221 move further apart relative to each other, it can drive the two clamping members 2231 to partially open. When the cylinder rod 2251 retracts and the two sliding portions 2221 move further apart relative to each other, it can drive the two clamping members 2231 to fully open.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the two clamping members 2231 slide close to each other, they can clamp the wire 41 to prevent it from bending. Then, driven by the upward mechanism (not shown in the figure), the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4 is inserted into the housing 5. When the two clamping members 2231 slide away from each other, they can release the wire 41 to make it easier to clamp the next wire 41. It should be understood that the two clamping members 2231 have mutually cooperating clamping structures on opposite sides to clamp the wire 41 when they are close together and release the wire 41 when they are far apart.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a vertical moving component 24 is provided on the first mounting plate 23, and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the vertical moving component 24. The vertical moving component 24 is used to drive the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 to make vertical movements.

[0055] In this embodiment, the vertical moving component 24 can move vertically on the first mounting plate 23. The terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the vertical moving component 24. When the vertical moving component 24 moves vertically, it can simultaneously drive the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 to move vertically, so as to realize the function that the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 can move vertically relative to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2.

[0056] In one embodiment, the vertical moving assembly 24 includes a vertical cylinder 241, a first guide rail 242, a first slider 243, and a second mounting plate 244. The first guide rail 242 is disposed on the first mounting plate 23, the first slider 243 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 242, the second mounting plate 244 is connected to the first slider 243, the terminal positioning and clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the second mounting plate 244, and the output end of the vertical cylinder 241 is connected to the second mounting plate 244 to drive the terminal positioning and clamping mechanism 3 to slide vertically on the first guide rail 242.

[0057] In this embodiment, the vertical moving component 24 is mounted on the first mounting plate 23 via the first guide rail 242. When the driving mechanism 1 drives the first mounting plate 23 to move in the vertical direction, the first mounting plate 23 can simultaneously drive the vertical moving component 24 to move in the vertical direction, and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 mounted on the vertical moving component 24 can also move in the vertical direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second mounting plate 244 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 242 via the first slider 243. The output end of the vertical cylinder 241 extends and retracts in the vertical direction to drive the second mounting plate 244 to slide vertically on the first guide rail 242. The terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the second mounting plate 244 so that the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 can slide vertically while the second mounting plate 244 slides vertically, thereby realizing the function of the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 sliding vertically relative to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2.

[0059] In one embodiment, the terminal positioning and clamping mechanism 3 includes a horizontal moving component 31 and a terminal clamping component 32. The horizontal moving component 31 is mounted on the second mounting plate 244, and the terminal clamping component 32 is mounted on the horizontal moving component 31. The horizontal moving component 31 is used to drive the terminal clamping component 32 to move horizontally.

[0060] In this embodiment, the horizontal moving component 31 can be driven horizontally on the second mounting plate 244, and the terminal clamping component 32 is mounted on the horizontal moving component 31 to realize the function of the terminal clamping component 32 being able to move horizontally relative to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2, thereby enabling the terminal clamping component 32 to more accurately adjust its relative position with the terminal 42, and to accurately clamp the terminal 42 of the terminal wire 4.

[0061] When the terminal 42 and the housing 5 are first inserted, the terminal clamping assembly 32 moves vertically upward relative to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 via the vertical moving assembly 24, and then moves horizontally backward relative to the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 via the horizontal moving assembly 31 to make way.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the horizontal movement assembly 31 includes a side plate 311, a second guide rail 312, a second slider 313, a slider mounting plate 314, a third mounting plate 315, and a horizontal cylinder 316. The side plate 311 is mounted on the second mounting plate 244, the second guide rail 312 is mounted on the side plate 311, the second slider 313 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 312, the slider mounting plate 314 is connected to the second slider 313, the third mounting plate 315 is mounted on the slider mounting plate 314, the horizontal cylinder 316 is mounted on the side plate 311, and the output end of the horizontal cylinder 316 is connected to the third mounting plate 315 and used to drive the third mounting plate 315 to move horizontally; the terminal clamping assembly 32 is mounted on the third mounting plate 315.

[0063] In this embodiment, the third mounting plate 315 and the second mounting plate 244 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The side plate 311 is located between the second mounting plate 244 and the third mounting plate 315. The second guide rail 312 is mounted on the side plate 311. The second slider 313 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 312. The slider mounting plate 314 is connected to the second slider 313. The second slider 313 and the slider mounting plate 314 can slide relative to the side plate 311 in the horizontal direction. The third mounting plate 315 is mounted on the slider mounting plate 314. When the second slider 313 and the slider mounting plate 314 move in the horizontal direction, the second slider 313 and the slider mounting plate 314 can drive the third mounting plate 315 to move horizontally, thereby enabling the terminal clamping assembly 32 mounted on the third mounting plate 315 to move horizontally.

[0064] The output end of the horizontal cylinder 316 is connected to the third mounting plate 315, so that the horizontal cylinder 316 serves as the power to drive the third mounting plate 315 to move horizontally. When the horizontal cylinder 316 extends forward in the horizontal direction, with the cooperation of the second slider 313 and the slider mounting plate 314 with the second guide rail 312, the horizontal cylinder 316 pushes the third mounting plate 315 to move forward in the horizontal direction, so that the terminal clamping assembly 32 mounted on the third mounting plate 315 moves forward horizontally. When the horizontal cylinder 316 retracts backward in the horizontal direction, with the cooperation of the second slider 313 and the slider mounting plate 314 with the second guide rail 312, the horizontal cylinder 316 drives the third mounting plate 315 to move backward in the horizontal direction, so that the terminal clamping assembly 32 mounted on the third mounting plate 315 moves backward horizontally.

[0065] The side plate 311 is provided at least once, and preferably two in this embodiment. The two side plates 311 are respectively equipped with a second guide rail 312, and the two second guide rails 312 are respectively equipped with a second slider 313 and a slider mounting plate 314. With this arrangement, the second mounting plate 244, the side plate 311, the second guide rail 312, the second slider 313, the slider mounting plate 314 and the third mounting plate 315 enclose a rectangular area, so that the horizontal moving component 31 can move horizontally more stably.

[0066] Please see Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the terminal clamping assembly 32 includes a terminal clamping cylinder 321, a connecting rod module 322, a terminal gripper 323, and an adjustment module 324. The terminal clamping cylinder 321, the connecting rod module 322, and the adjustment module 324 are connected and all mounted on the third mounting plate 315. The terminal gripper 323 is linked to the terminal clamping cylinder 321 through the connecting rod module 322. The terminal clamping cylinder 321 is used to drive the terminal gripper 323 to open or clamp through the connecting rod module 322. The adjustment module 324 is used to adjust the gap between the two terminal grippers 323 after clamping to adapt to terminals 42 of different sizes.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the terminal clamping assembly 32 moves to the position of terminal 42 of the terminal line 4, the terminal clamping cylinder 321 extends to drive the linkage module 322 to move, and the linkage module 322, in conjunction with the terminal gripper 323, clamps the terminal 42; when it is necessary for the terminal clamping assembly 32 to release the terminal 42, the terminal clamping cylinder 321 retracts and drives the linkage module 322 to move, and the linkage module 322, in conjunction with the terminal gripper 323, opens to release the terminal 42.

[0068] Please see Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the drive mechanism 1 includes a motor 11, a coupling 12, and a lead screw drive assembly 13. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to the lead screw drive assembly 13 through the coupling 12. The first mounting plate 23 is connected to the lead screw drive assembly 13. The motor 11 is used to drive the first mounting plate 23 to move vertically.

[0069] In this embodiment, the motor 11 drives the lead screw transmission assembly 13 to move the first mounting plate 23 in the vertical direction. The wire clamping assembly 22 and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 located on the first mounting plate 23 move in the vertical direction along with the first mounting plate 23 to realize the movement function of the wire clamping assembly 22 and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3, thereby adjusting the position of the wire clamping assembly 22 and the terminal positioning clamping mechanism 3 when clamping the terminal wire 4, so as to accurately clamp the wire 41 and the terminal 42.

[0070] In this embodiment, the lead screw drive assembly 13 includes a lead screw 132, a support base 131, and a linear slider 133. The support base 131 is located below the motor 11, and the lead screw 132 is located inside the support base 131. One side of the support base 131 has an opening, and the linear slider 133 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 132 through the opening. The two sides of the linear slider 133 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the support base 131. When the motor 11 rotates, the motor 11 drives the lead screw 132 to rotate, and the linear slider 133 located on the lead screw 132 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 132. The two sides of the linear slider 133 are limited to the inner walls of the support base 131, thereby avoiding the self-rotation of the linear slider 133 during the movement and ensuring that the linear slider 133 can move stably in the vertical direction.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a position sensor 1311 is provided at the bottom of the support base 131, and a sensing plate 231 is provided on the first mounting plate 23. When the first mounting plate 23 moves in the vertical direction, the sensing plate 231 can trigger the position sensor 1311 to indicate that the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 has moved into place.

[0072] In this embodiment, in order to obtain the vertical position of the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 and avoid excessive movement of the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2, a position sensing function is provided. Specifically, when the driving mechanism 1 drives the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 to move downward in the vertical direction, the sensing plate 231 located on the first mounting plate 23 simultaneously moves downward in the vertical direction along with it. When the first mounting plate 23 moves vertically downward to its limit position, the sensing plate 231 can finally trigger the position sensor 1311 located at the bottom of the support base 131, thereby indicating that the wire positioning clamping mechanism 2 has moved into place.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
