Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pliers technology and in particular to a pliers head and a pressure pliers. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] In the field of wire connections, crimping pliers, such as wire crimping pliers, are indispensable tools for a reliable connection between the conductor end and the ferrule. Their central functional element is the opposing crimp interfaces. The interlocking rib structures at the crimp interfaces plastically deform the ferrule, creating a tensile connection with the conductor end. To ensure the stability of the relative movement of the crimp interfaces during the crimping process, existing technologies typically incorporate a guide surface positioned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ribs, outside the rib working area of ​​the crimp interfaces. Corresponding guide projections are located on the opposing crimp interfaces.The interaction of the guide surface and guide projections restricts the relative displacement of the crimp interfaces along the longitudinal direction of the ribs, thus ensuring the connection quality (such as the technical solution described in patent CN111279561B).

[0003] However, the guide structure of the aforementioned technology still exhibits numerous shortcomings that urgently require improvement. Firstly, the fit between the guide surface and the guide projection necessitates high-precision machining to ensure assembly accuracy. This not only increases the manufacturing difficulties and production costs of the crimp interfaces but also carries the risk of fit failure due to machining errors, thus compromising the guide stability of the crimp interfaces. Secondly, the guide projection extending from the crimp interface base and the associated guide surface structure increase the overall structural complexity of the crimp interfaces. During assembly and disassembly, the guide projection can collide with the jaws or other components, particularly when the crimp interfaces need to be rotated around their axis of rotation to adjust the working position or for replacement.This further increases the risk of collision and makes the crimping tool more difficult to use.

[0004] Furthermore, with existing technology, an uneven, raised area forms on the side adjacent to the crimp interface opening due to structures such as the guide projection. This not only increases the likelihood of foreign matter adhering, making cleaning and maintenance more difficult, but can also hinder the insertion or removal of workpieces such as cable protection conduits, thus impairing workpiece positioning accuracy and operational efficiency. CONTENTS OF THE PRESENT USE SAMPLE

[0005] In order to remedy at least one deficiency of the prior art, this utility model provides a crimping head and crimping pliers in which the adjacent sides of the opening of the crimp interfaces do not have separate guide projections or other structures.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this utility model provides a crimping head comprising a first crimping head and a second crimping head. The first crimping head includes a first base and a plurality of first ribs and side walls extending from the first base. The second crimping head includes a second base and a plurality of second ribs extending from the second base, the side wall extending at least from the side end of a first rib to the side end of a last rib, and a groove for receiving a second rib formed between two adjacent first ribs arranged in the same direction and the side wall; the side ends of the plurality of second ribs being completely open; and the plurality of first ribs and second ribs interlocking during crimping to modify the opening of the crimp interface.

[0007] The first / second base forms the supporting structure of the crimping head and serves to support components such as ribs and side walls. The first / second rib represents the central working structure, enabling mutual embedding and controlling the deformation of the wire ferrule during the crimping process; the side wall refers to the lateral protective structure extending from the first base.

[0008] Optionally, the side walls have at least two, namely a first and a second side wall, wherein the first and second side walls are of equal width and at least one of the first and second side walls projects from a first rib in the width direction. The width direction can be perpendicular to the rib extension direction and parallel to the side end face.

[0009] Optionally, the side wall length is greater than the length of the plurality of first ribs, and the side wall completely covers the alternating grooves formed at the side ends of the plurality of second ribs when the first and second crimp heads are in the fully closed state. The fully closed state refers to the operating condition in which the ribs of the two crimp heads interlock until the maximum stroke is reached and the crimp interface opening has reached its minimum size.

[0010] Optionally, to ensure that the outermost rib maintains effective contact with the side wall throughout the crimping process and to avoid guidance deviation caused by contact failure in the edge area, the length of the outermost second rib can be no shorter than the length of the side wall, and the side wall interacting with the outermost second rib can be set away from the first rib in the width direction to interact with the outermost second rib.

[0011] Optionally, precise guidance during the crimping process can be achieved by means of a guide surface or channel on the outermost rib. At the same time, the "complete coverage" prevents uneven, protruding areas, thus solving problems with malfunctions and cleaning.The upper surface of the outermost first rib is designed as a first guide section, the corresponding second rib is provided with a first guide surface or a first guide channel that interacts with the first guide section, the upper surface of the outermost second rib is designed as a second guide section and the corresponding first rib is provided with a second guide channel or a second guide surface that interacts with the second guide section; wherein, when the first crimping head and the second crimping head are in the fully closed state, the plier head is completely covered by the first rib and the second rib, respectively, on the side perpendicular to the side end.

[0012] Optionally, the first guide section / second guide section can refer to a protruding structure extending from the top of the rib for guidance and positioning; the first guide surface / second guide surface can refer to a planar guide structure adapted to the guide section; and the first guide channel / second guide channel can refer to a groove-shaped guide structure adapted to the guide section.

[0013] Optionally, to ensure that the guide section and the guide surface / channel remain in close contact during the crimping process and to improve the accuracy and stability of the guide, the first guide section can be formed by protruding from the top of the first rib towards the second crimp section along the crimping direction, and the second guide section can be formed by protruding from the top of the second rib towards the first crimp section along the crimping direction.

[0014] Optionally, to ensure effective guidance throughout the entire process, the length of the first rib with the first guide section can be at least as long as the sidewall length, and the length of the first rib with the first guide section can be greater than the length of the other first ribs. The length specification refers to the rib's extension in the crimping direction.

[0015] Optionally, a gap can be provided between the outermost first rib and the opposite side wall to form a second guide channel. The root of the outermost second rib, or the root of the outermost first rib, is provided with a notch to form the first or second guide surface, respectively. The design with guide channels in gaps and guide surfaces in notches eliminates the need for additional independent guide structures. This simplifies the overall design of the crimping head while simultaneously ensuring the effective implementation of the guide function.

[0016] Optionally, the first crimping head includes a first rotating shaft extending from the first base towards the numerous first ribs. The first crimping head is rotatably mounted around the geometric axis of rotation of this first rotating shaft. The second crimping head includes a second rotating shaft extending from the second base towards the numerous second ribs. The second crimping head is also rotatably mounted around the geometric axis of rotation of this second rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the rotatable structure allow the crimping head to adjust its angle around the axis of rotation to accommodate different crimping conditions (e.g., crimping conductors with different specifications) while simultaneously avoiding collisions with existing guide structures. The rotating shaft is a wave-shaped component that enables the rotation of the crimping head.The geometric axis of rotation is the central axis of the rotating shaft and serves as a reference line for the rotation of the crimping head.

[0017] Optionally, at least one of the first ribs not located on the outermost side and the second rib not located on the outermost side have a projection at the crimp interface opening. This projection rises from the intersection of the first and second ribs, respectively, to its highest point. This gradual projection at the rib intersection creates a local indentation in the cable sheath during crimping, thereby increasing the mechanical contact force on the conductor and preventing the conductor from loosening after crimping. The intersection point can refer to the intersection of the first ribs running in opposite directions, or to the intersection of the second ribs running in opposite directions; the highest point can refer to the location where the projection is greatest.

[0018] This utility model provides a crimping tool, including all the crimping heads described above, a first and a second crimping jaw, each connected to the first and second crimping heads, respectively; and a first and a second crimping handle, each connected to the first and second crimping jaws, respectively. The crimping tool is suitable for various applications such as power engineering, the assembly of automotive wiring harnesses, and the construction of communication lines, and can crimp conductors of different diameters.

[0019] Optionally, the crimping tool further comprises a first bearing housing and a second bearing housing. The first crimping head also includes a first rotating shaft extending from the first base away from the numerous first ribs. The first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the first bearing housing about its geometric axis of rotation. The second crimping head further comprises a second rotating shaft extending from the second base away from the numerous second ribs. The second rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the second bearing housing about its geometric axis of rotation.

[0020] Optionally, the pressure clamp also includes a first positioning pin and a second positioning pin, which are located in the first bearing housing and the second bearing housing respectively, to interact with the first positioning holes on the first rotating shaft and the second positioning holes on the second rotating shaft respectively.

[0021] Optionally, the first bearing housing is provided on both sides with a first support shaft, via which the first bearing housing and the first jaw are connected. The second bearing housing is provided on both sides with a second support shaft, via which the second bearing housing and the second jaw are connected.

[0022] Optionally, the first jaw of the crimping pliers includes a first elastic plate, and the second jaw includes a second elastic plate. The first elastic plate divides into two legs at the crimping head section of the pliers. The first crimping head is rotatably mounted between the two branched first elastic plates. Similarly, the second elastic plate divides into two legs at the crimping head section of the pliers. The second crimping head is rotatably mounted between the two branched second elastic plates. This branched design of the elastic plates provides elastic support for the crimping head, dampens the impact force during crimping, and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the crimping head. An elastic plate is a sheet-like structure with elastic deformation capability; the branching refers to the fact that the elastic plate divides into two supporting legs at its end.

[0023] Optionally, the first jaw of the pliers includes two additional jaw connection plates, each with a first elastic plate positioned between them. The second jaw of the pliers also includes two second jaw connection plates, each with a second elastic plate positioned between them. The jaw connection plates laterally define and support the elastic plates, thereby increasing their bending strength and ensuring stable elastic behavior during long-term use.

[0024] Optionally, the first elastic plate has a first groove on the body of the pressure pliers, facing the second elastic plate, and the second elastic plate has a second groove on the body of the pressure pliers, also facing the first elastic plate. The pressure pliers also include a first elastic element, both ends of which are positioned in the first and second grooves, respectively. The first elastic element is a component with elastic recovery, such as a spring or an elastic rubber. The first and second grooves are groove-like structures that receive the ends of the elastic element and enable its positioning.

[0025] Optionally, the pressure pliers can also include a ratchet stop located in the second handle and a connecting piece. The ratchet stop consists of a ratchet pawl and a second elastic element. The connecting piece has a ratchet end. This ratchet end has a ratchet mechanism for engaging the ratchet pawl. The two ends of the second elastic element are each connected to the second handle and the ratchet pawl, respectively.

[0026] Optionally, the connector can also have an arc-shaped end, and the first elastic plate can have an arc-shaped groove that fits with the arc-shaped end.

[0027] In summary, this utility model offers an improved crimping head structure. By removing the interacting guide surfaces and guide projections of the opposing crimp interfaces, and by designing the side area adjacent to the crimp interface opening as a side wall (i.e., the side end and the side with the crimp interface opening are not parallel; the side end can be perpendicular to the side with the crimp interface opening), the entire structure remains flush. This solves the problems of the prior art regarding high manufacturing difficulties, poor user-friendliness, and cumbersome cleaning and maintenance.

[0028] The improvements offer at least one of the following advantages: First, they simplify the design of the crimp interfaces. This eliminates the need for high-precision guide surfaces and protrusions, simplifying manufacturing, reducing costs, and minimizing guidance errors due to machining flaws. Second, removing the protruding structure effectively prevents the jaws and other components from jamming when rotating the crimp interface for adjustment or disassembling it for replacement. This improves the operability of the crimping tool and the efficiency of crimp interface replacement. Third, the flush side ends reduce the areas where foreign matter can accumulate, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and preventing the protruding structure from interfering with workpiece insertion and removal. This contributes to higher workpiece positioning accuracy and increased work efficiency.Fourth, the flush side-end structure allows for a more even distribution of force on the workpiece during the crimping process. This reduces local stress peaks and further improves the connection reliability between the ferrule and the conductor end.
