Device and method for removing a sheath of electrical conductors
A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a preferably multicore cable (K), preferably comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a blade arrangement ( 1 ), which can preferably be rotated about the longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath. A pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device. This pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off mechanism ( 5 ), which is designed for connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis. The invention further relates to a method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K).
1. A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K), having a film located between a shielding or an insulation and the inner conductors, the device comprising:
at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and
a blade arrangement ( 1 ), for the sheath, being rotatable about a longitudinal cable axis,
wherein a pull-off device (A), for at least a partially cut sheath, is integrated into the device, and
the pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off means ( 5 ) which is designed for connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pull-off device (A) comprises at least one application arrangement ( 3 , 4 , 6 ) for at least one adhesive tape ( 5 ) each, at least one adhesive tape ( 5 ) as pull-off means, as well as means ( 6 , 7 , 8 ) for puffing off the at least one adhesive tape ( 5 ) with adhesive sheath in the longitudinal direction of the cable (K).
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the application arrangement ( 3 , 4 , 6 ) comprises at least one guide jaw ( 4 ) for the adhesive tape ( 5 ), which can be automatically moved radially towards the cable (K) and away from the cable (K) and which can be moved in a longitudinal direction of the cable (K).
4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the guide jaw ( 4 ) is a rigid body, made of metal, and is provided with an elastic layer, in the form of an insert, on a section which comes to rest on the cable (K).
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the front side of the guide jaw ( 4 ) comprises a material which has a low friction coefficient, for a purpose of which the material of the guide jaw ( 4 ) is pulled forward to a front side, if applicable with the exception of a small cut-out in the area of the cable (K).
6. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the means for puffing off the adhesive tape ( 5 ) comprising adhesive sheath in the longitudinal direction of the cable (K) are formed by a supply or storage device ( 3 ) for the adhesive tape ( 5 ), which can be at least temporarily locked or which is permanently released only in the supply direction, as well as by a carriage ( 6 ) which can be moved along the cable (K) and to which the supply or storage device ( 3 ) is attached.
7. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the application arrangement ( 3 , 4 , 6 ) has two arrangements comprising guide jaw ( 4 ) and a supply or storage device for the adhesive tape ( 5 ), in the form of adhesive tape rolls ( 3 ), on opposite sides of the cable (K), which application arrangements are assembled on a carriage ( 6 ), which can be moved forwards and backwards along the longitudinal cable axis, for a relative movement with respect to the cable (K) in the longitudinal cable direction.
8. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the application arrangement ( 3 , 4 , 6 ) has a sensor for markings on the adhesive tape ( 5 ), which is connected to an evaluation unit for generating sensor signals.
9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a sheath scraping arrangement is additionally integrated into the device, the sheath scraping arrangement is positioned in the cable feed direction upstream of the blade arrangement ( 1 ) and the pull-off device (A) is positioned in the cable feed direction downstream of the blade arrangement ( 1 ).
10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the scraper arrangement has a scraper head (Z) comprising at least two shaping jaws ( 11 ), which can be closed centrally around the inner conductors of the cable (K) and which together form a round through opening ( 16 ) for the arrangement of the inner conductors of the cable (K), which can be adjusted to a radius of an enveloping circle thereof.
11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein each shaping jaw ( 11 ) comprises a support body ( 17 ) and of a scraper ( 18 ), which is fastened thereto, each support body ( 17 ) has at least one seal ( 19 ), which is directed towards at least one adjacent shaping jaw ( 11 ), in such a way that an at least almost air-tight chamber, which is connected to at least one compressed air supply ( 21 ), is formed around the cable (K) between scrapers ( 18 ), support bodies ( 17 ), and seals ( 19 ).
12. A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K), with a film located between a shielding or an insulation and the inner conductors, the device comprising at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a blade arrangement ( 1 ), which can be rotated about a longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath,
wherein a pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device and this pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off means ( 5 ), which are designed for connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis.
