Terminal Crimping Machine Cable Diameter Fitting Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal crimping machines require numerous disassembly operations to accommodate cables of different diameters, making the process tedious and time-consuming due to the need for removing and inserting terminal chains.
Innovation Solution
A terminal crimping machine with a cable diameter fitting mechanism and terminal fitting mechanism, where the adjustment member drives the driven member to adjust the alignment, allowing only the correct cable diameter fitting mechanism to be installed and the terminal channel size to be adjusted accordingly, ensuring only compatible terminals can be used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If numerous disassembly operations are performed to accommodate different cable diameters, then adaptability to different cable sizes is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal chain is designed with a flexible structure that can dynamically adjust its configuration. The chain includes multiple terminal units that can be flexibly arranged and reconfigured without requiring complete disassembly, allowing adaptation to different cable diameters while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal chain is divided into multiple independent terminal units connected in a chain configuration. Each unit can be independently adjusted or repositioned, allowing the overall chain to adapt to different cable sizes without requiring complete removal and reinsertion of the entire chain
2Adaptability or versatility
If terminal chains are removed and reinserted to change caliber, then adaptability to different terminal sizes is improved, but time consumption and labor increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal chain employs a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the caliber can be changed by simple reconfiguration of the chain units rather than complete removal. This allows rapid adaptation to different terminal sizes while maintaining high productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal chain is designed as a universal component that can serve multiple cable and terminal caliber requirements. By configuring the same chain structure in different arrangements, it can adapt to various crimping applications without requiring multiple specialized chains
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminal chains are stored for different calibers, then coverage of different cable diameters is improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring multiple specialized terminal chains for different calibers, a single universal terminal chain design is implemented that can be configured to accommodate various cable diameters. This reduces the number of components needed and simplifies the overall machine structure while maintaining comprehensive coverage

AI summary
A terminal crimping machine includes a machine body and a cable diameter fitting mechanism. The machine body includes an installation portion, an adjustment member and a driven member. The driven member is driven by the adjustment member and includes a driven alignment portion. The cable diameter fitting mechanism includes an assembly portion corresponding to the driven alignment portion. The driven member is driven by the adjustment member to move with the adjustment of the adjustment member, and the driven alignment portion moves along with the driven member. The cable diameter fitting mechanism is installed on the installation portion, and the assembly portion is assembled corresponding to the driven alignment portion during the installation process. Accordingly, the terminal crimping machine can achieve the effect of simple and convenient operation.
