Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable crimping fixtures, and specifically to a cable crimping fixture. Background Technology

[0002] A ribbon cable crimping fixture is a tool used to crimp and fix ribbon cables to terminals or other connecting components, ensuring a reliable electrical connection and mechanical fixation between the ribbon cable and the connecting component.

[0003] Traditional ribbon cable crimping operations rely on manual positioning and crimping, which suffers from poor positioning accuracy, low crimping consistency, and reduced production efficiency. It can also easily lead to poor contact and damage of the ribbon cables, affecting product quality and production schedule. Existing simple fixtures are also difficult to adapt to different specifications of ribbon cables and connectors, lacking versatility and failing to meet the needs of efficient and precise production. Moreover, existing fixtures cannot limit the position of the ribbon cables, and manual placement of the ribbon cables can easily result in cable tilting, which affects the crimping effect. Therefore, a ribbon cable crimping fixture is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a ribbon cable crimping fixture includes a base 1, a positioning groove 2 inside the base 1, several second mounting holes 11 on the base 1 and located on one side of the positioning groove 2, a positioning block 3 on the top of the base 1, two second through grooves 14 inside the positioning block 3, a second bolt 6 inside the second through groove 14, one end of the second bolt 6 extending into the corresponding second mounting hole 11, a positioning opening 13 on one side of the positioning block 3, several first mounting holes 7 on the base 1 and located on the other side of the positioning groove 2, two limiting plates 4 on the top of the base 1, a first through groove 8 on the limiting plate 4, a first bolt 5 inside the first through groove 8, one end of the first bolt 5 extending into the corresponding first mounting hole 7, and scale lines 9 engraved on the top of the base 1.

[0027] More specifically, during use, the base 1 has round holes at different positions for fixing the base 1, allowing the base 1 to adapt to different work platforms. Furthermore, the base 1 is equipped with a positioning block 3, which has a positioning port 13 for positioning the connector. The positioning block 3 is connected to several second mounting holes 11 on the base 1 by two second bolts 6, allowing the position of the positioning block 3 to be adjusted so that it can cooperate with the positioning groove 2. This adapts to various connector models and ribbon cables of different widths, enabling high-precision positioning of the ribbon cable and connector, effectively avoiding crimping misalignment, improving product yield, reducing the frequency of fixture replacement, lowering production costs, adapting to diverse production needs, and the overall device is simple to operate, improving production efficiency and shortening the crimping time of a single product.

[0028] Meanwhile, under the action of several first mounting holes 7, the distance between two first mounting holes 7 can be effectively adjusted through the set first through groove 8 and first bolt 5, which can limit the wiring of different widths to ensure that the wiring body will not tilt and avoid affecting the crimping effect. Under the action of the scale line 9, the distance between two first mounting holes 7 can be adjusted according to the width of the wiring. At the same time, under the action of two grooves 10, the two sliders 12 at the bottom of the limiting plate 4 can slide in the corresponding grooves 10 to ensure the stability of the limiting plate 4.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the base 1 has two grooves 10, and the bottom of the limiting plate 4 has two sliders 12 fixedly installed. The two sliders 12 extend into the two grooves 10 respectively, and a number of first mounting holes 7 are located between the two grooves 10. The sliders 12 are slidably connected to the grooves 10.

[0030] More specifically, under the action of the two grooves 10, the two sliders 12 at the bottom of the limiting plate 4 can slide within the corresponding grooves 10, ensuring the stability of the limiting plate 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first bolt 5 is threaded to the first mounting hole 7, and several first mounting holes 7 are linearly and equally spaced.

[0032] More specifically, it ensures that one end of the first bolt 5 can be threaded into the first mounting hole 7, and that a number of first mounting holes 7 are linearly and equally spaced to ensure that multiple positions of the limiting plate 4 can be adjusted.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the second bolt 6 is threaded to the second mounting hole 11, and several second mounting holes 11 are linearly and equally spaced.

[0034] More specifically, this ensures that one end of the second bolt 6 can be threaded into the second mounting hole 11, and that the second mounting holes 11 are linearly and equally spaced to ensure that multiple positions of the positioning block 3 can be adjusted.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting plate 4 has an L-shaped structure, and the two limiting plates 4 are symmetrically arranged.

[0036] More specifically, this ensures that the two limit plates 4 can limit the movement of the ribbon cable.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting plate 4 and the corresponding two sliders 12 are integrally formed.

[0038] More specifically, this ensures the structural stability between the limiting plate 4 and the corresponding two sliders 12.

[0039] In summary: During use, the base 1 is made of phenolic resin material, which has good mechanical strength and insulation. The base 1 has round holes at different positions for fixing the base 1, so that the base 1 can be adapted to different work platforms. In addition, the base 1 is equipped with a positioning block 3, which has a positioning port 13 for positioning the connector. The positioning block 3 is connected to several second mounting holes 11 on the base 1 by two second bolts 6, so that the position of the positioning block 3 can be adjusted to cooperate with the positioning groove 2. It is compatible with various connector models and ribbon cables of different widths. It can perform high-precision positioning of ribbon cables and connectors, effectively avoid crimping misalignment, improve product yield, reduce the frequency of fixture replacement, reduce production costs, adapt to diverse production needs, and the overall device is simple to operate, improves production efficiency, and shortens the crimping time of a single product.

[0040] Meanwhile, under the action of several first mounting holes 7, the distance between two first mounting holes 7 can be effectively adjusted through the set first through groove 8 and first bolt 5, which can limit the wiring of different widths to ensure that the wiring body will not tilt and avoid affecting the crimping effect. Under the action of the scale line 9, the distance between two first mounting holes 7 can be adjusted according to the width of the wiring. At the same time, under the action of two grooves 10, the two sliders 12 at the bottom of the limiting plate 4 can slide in the corresponding grooves 10 to ensure the stability of the limiting plate 4.
