Description
本発明は、電線に接続するための圧着端子、及び、その圧着端子を加締めるための加締治具に関する。
The present invention relates to a crimp terminal for connecting to an electric wire and a crimping jig for crimping the crimp terminal.
この種の従来例の圧着端子として、特許文献1に開示されたものがある。図6、7に示すように、従来例の圧着端子110に接続される電線Wは、複数の素線101aからなる芯線101と、芯線101の外周を覆う絶縁外皮102とを備える。電線Wの先端側は、絶縁外皮102が除去されて、芯線101が露出されている。
There is one disclosed in Patent Document 1 as a conventional crimp terminal of this type. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electric wire W connected to the crimp terminal 110 of the conventional example includes a core wire 101 composed of a plurality of strands 101 a and an insulating sheath 102 covering the outer periphery of the core wire 101. At the tip end side of the electric wire W, the insulating sheath 102 is removed, and the core wire 101 is exposed.
圧着端子110は、相手端子接続部111と、電線接続部115とを備える。電線接続部115は、芯線圧着部116と、外皮圧着部117とを備える。芯線圧着部116は、基底部116aと、この基底部116aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部116bとを備える。芯線圧着部116の基底部116aと一対の加締め片部116bの内面には、三本の長溝(セレーション)118が形成されている。外皮圧着部117は、基底部117aと、この基底部117aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部117bとを備える。
The crimp terminal 110 includes a mating terminal connection portion 111 and a wire connection portion 115. The wire connection portion 115 includes a core wire crimping portion 116 and an outer skin crimping portion 117. The core wire crimping part 116 includes a base part 116a and a pair of caulking piece parts 116b extending from both sides of the base part 116a. Three long grooves (serrations) 118 are formed on the inner surfaces of the base portion 116 a and the pair of caulking pieces 116 b of the core wire crimping portion 116. The outer skin crimping part 117 includes a base part 117a and a pair of caulking piece parts 117b extending from both sides of the base part 117a.
圧着端子110は、芯線圧着部116によって露出された芯線101を加締め圧着し、外皮圧着部117によって絶縁外皮102を加締め圧着している。
The crimp terminal 110 crimps and crimps the core wire 101 exposed by the core wire crimping portion 116, and crimps and crimps the insulating sheath 102 by the outer skin crimping portion 117.
ところで、従来例では、加締め圧着は、図8(a)、8(b)に示すようなワイヤクリンパ120を使用する。ワイヤクリンパ120は、その加締め先端側に最終的な加締め外周形状の加締め溝121を有する。そして、図9(a)、9(b)に示すように、加締め圧着は、ワイヤクリンパ120で一対の加締め片部116bを押圧し、一対の加締め片部116bを塑性変形することにより行う。
Incidentally, in the conventional example, the crimping and crimping uses a wire crimper 120 as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). The wire crimper 120 has a caulking groove 121 having a final caulking outer peripheral shape on the caulking tip side. 9 (a) and 9 (b), the crimping is performed by pressing the pair of crimping pieces 116b with the wire crimper 120 and plastically deforming the pair of crimping pieces 116b. Do.
上述した加締め過程では、加締め片部116bより芯線101が圧着力を受ける。すると、図9(b)に示すように、芯線101が左右いずれの方向(図9(b)のa矢印方向とb矢印方向)にも自由に伸びることができる。一般的には、加締め片部116bの先端側に位置する芯線101は、先端側(図9(b)のa矢印方向)に伸び、加締め片部116bの後端側(絶縁外皮側)に位置する芯線101は、後端側(絶縁外皮側)(図9(b)のb矢印方向)に伸びる。
In the above caulking process, the core wire 101 receives a crimping force from the caulking piece portion 116b. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the core wire 101 can freely extend in either the left or right direction (a arrow direction and b arrow direction in FIG. 9B). Generally, the core wire 101 located on the distal end side of the crimping piece portion 116b extends to the distal end side (in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 9B), and the rear end side (insulating outer skin side) of the crimping piece portion 116b. The core wire 101 located on the side extends to the rear end side (insulating outer skin side) (in the direction of arrow b in FIG. 9B).
このように、芯線101が自由に伸び、縮径するため、圧着力が有効に芯線101の各素線101aに作用しない。素線101aは、伸びることによって新生面を発生するものの、低い圧縮力しか受けないため、凝着を有効に発生させることができない。そして、凝着が発生しない、若しくは、凝着が不足すると、素線101a間の導通特性が向上せず、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が高くなるという問題があった。
Thus, since the core wire 101 freely expands and contracts, the crimping force does not effectively act on each strand 101a of the core wire 101. Although the strand 101a generates a new surface when stretched, it receives only a low compressive force, and therefore cannot effectively generate adhesion. If adhesion does not occur or if adhesion is insufficient, there is a problem that the electrical connection characteristics between the strands 101a are not improved and the electrical resistance at the electrical connection point is increased.
そこで、本発明は、上述した課題を解決すべくなされたものであり、電線との電気接続箇所における電気抵抗を低減できる圧着端子、及び、圧着端子を加工に使用する加締治具を提供することを目的とする。
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a crimp terminal that can reduce electrical resistance at an electrical connection location with an electric wire, and a crimping jig that uses the crimp terminal for processing. For the purpose.
本発明の第1の態様に係る圧着端子は、電線の複数の素線からなる芯線に加締め圧着可能な芯線圧着部を備える。芯線圧着部は、芯線の軸方向の中央に位置する中央部の高さを高く、中央部の両側に位置する両側部の高さを低く加締められる。
The crimp terminal according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a core crimping portion that can be crimped to a core consisting of a plurality of strands of an electric wire. The core wire crimping portion is crimped by increasing the height of the central portion located in the center of the core wire in the axial direction and decreasing the height of both side portions located on both sides of the central portion.
芯線は、アルミ製であってもよい。
The core wire may be made of aluminum.
本発明の第2の態様に係る圧着端子の加締治具は、加締溝を有し、加締め溝に沿って芯線圧着部を塑性変形して、電線の複数の素線からなる芯線に芯線圧着部を加締め圧着可能な圧着端子を、芯線に加締め圧着するためのものであって、芯線圧着部の中央部を加締めるための第1加締溝と、芯線圧着部の中央部の両側に位置する両側部を加締めるための第2加締溝とを備える。第1加締溝の高さ位置は、第2加締溝の高さ位置より高く設定される。
The crimping jig of the crimp terminal according to the second aspect of the present invention has a crimping groove, and plastically deforms the core wire crimping portion along the crimping groove to form a core wire composed of a plurality of strands of the electric wire. A crimp terminal capable of crimping and crimping a core wire crimping portion is crimped to the core wire, and includes a first crimping groove for crimping the center portion of the core wire crimping portion and the center portion of the core wire crimping portion. And second caulking grooves for caulking both side portions located on both sides of the. The height position of the first caulking groove is set higher than the height position of the second caulking groove.
本発明の各態様によれば、芯線圧着部の加締め過程では、芯線に圧縮力が作用するため、各素線が伸びることによって新生面が発生する。また、芯線圧着部の両側部の箇所では、芯線が低く加締められるが、芯線圧着部の外側に逃げるように自由に伸びることが可能である一方、芯線圧着部の中央部の箇所では、その両側部の箇所の低く加締められた芯線によって軸方向の伸びが抑制され、芯線に圧縮力が効率良く作用する。つまり、芯線圧着力の中央部の箇所では、各素線の伸びによる新生面が発生し、且つ、各素線に効率良く圧縮力が作用することによって凝着が発生し、素線間の導通特性が向上する。以上より、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が低減する。
According to each aspect of the present invention, in the caulking process of the core wire crimping portion, a compressive force acts on the core wire, so that a new surface is generated as each strand extends. In addition, the core wire is caulked low at locations on both sides of the core wire crimping portion, but can be freely extended so as to escape to the outside of the core wire crimp portion, while at the center portion of the core wire crimp portion, The low-crimped core wire on both sides suppresses axial elongation, and compressive force acts efficiently on the core wire. In other words, in the central portion of the core crimping force, a new surface is generated due to the elongation of each strand, and adhesion occurs due to efficient compression force acting on each strand, and the conduction characteristics between the strands. Will improve. From the above, the electrical resistance at the electrical connection point is reduced.
以下、実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
図1―5を用いて、実施形態を説明する。図1―3に示すように、電線Wは、複数の素線1aからなる芯線1と、芯線1の外周を覆う絶縁外皮2とを備える。電線Wの先端側は、絶縁外皮2が除去されて、芯線1が露出されている。芯線1は、アルミニウム製又はアルミニウム合金製(以下、アルミ製)の素線1aが互いに撚られている。つまり、電線Wは、アルミ電線である。

The crimp terminal 10 is crimped by a crimping jig 20 shown in FIG. The caulking jig 20 includes a wire crimper 21 that can move up and down, and an anvil 22 disposed below the wire crimper 21. The wire crimper 21 includes a left crimper 21A, a central crimper 21B, and a right crimper 21C that are divided from each other. The left crimper 21A, the central crimper 21B, and the right crimper 21C are moved up and down together. The left crimper 21A, the central crimper 21B, and the right crimper 21C have final crimped outer circumferential crimping grooves 21a, 21b, and 21c, respectively, at their lower portions (caulking tip side). The central crimper 21 </ b> B caulks the central part E <b> 2 of the core wire crimping part 16. The left crimper 21 </ b> A and the right crimper 21 </ b> C caulk both side parts E <b> 1 and E <b> 3 located on both sides of the center part E <b> 2 of the core wire crimping part 16.
左側クリンパ21A及び右側クリンパ21Cの各加締め溝21a,21cの高さ位置(深さ)は、中央クリンパ21Bの加締め溝21bの高さ位置(深さ)より低く(浅く)設定されている。
The height positions (depths) of the crimping grooves 21a and 21c of the left crimper 21A and the right crimper 21C are set lower (shallow) than the height position (depth) of the crimping groove 21b of the central crimper 21B. .
図5(a)、5(b)に示すように、ワイヤクリンパ21によって一対の加締め片部16bを上方から押圧すると、3箇所の加締め溝21a,21b,21cに沿って一対の加締め片部16bが塑性変形される。このとき、芯線圧着部16は、図2(b)に詳しく示すように、芯線1の軸方向の中央部E2の高さh1を高く、中央部の左右外側に位置する両側部E1、E3の高さh2を低く加締められる。
As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, when the pair of caulking pieces 16b are pressed from above by the wire crimper 21, a pair of caulking along the three caulking grooves 21a, 21b, and 21c. The piece 16b is plastically deformed. At this time, as shown in detail in FIG. 2 (b), the core wire crimping portion 16 has a height h1 of the central portion E2 in the axial direction of the core wire 1 and is increased between the side portions E1 and E3 located on the left and right outer sides of the central portion. The height h2 is caulked low.
芯線圧着部16の加締め過程では、芯線1に圧縮力が作用するため、各素線1aが伸びることによって新生面が発生する。また、図5(b)に示すように、芯線圧着部16の両側部E1,E3の箇所では芯線1が低く加締められるが、芯線圧着部16の外側(a矢印方向、b矢印方向)に向かって伸びることが可能である。一方、芯線圧着部16の中央部E2の箇所では、その両側部E1,E3が低く加締められていることによって、軸方向の伸びが抑制され、芯線1に圧縮力が効率良く作用する。つまり、芯線圧着部16の中央部E2の箇所では、各素線1aの伸びによる新生面の発生と、各素線1aへの効率良い圧縮力の作用とによって凝着が発生し、素線1a間の導通特性が向上する。以上より、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が低減する。
In the caulking process of the core wire crimping portion 16, a compressive force acts on the core wire 1, so that a new surface is generated when each strand 1 a extends. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the core wire 1 is caulked low at the positions of both side portions E1 and E3 of the core wire crimping portion 16, but outside the core wire crimping portion 16 (a arrow direction, b arrow direction). It is possible to stretch towards. On the other hand, at the location of the central portion E2 of the core wire crimping portion 16, both side portions E1 and E3 are crimped low, so that the axial extension is suppressed and the compressive force acts on the core wire 1 efficiently. That is, in the location of the central portion E2 of the core wire crimping portion 16, adhesion occurs due to the generation of a new surface due to the extension of each strand 1a and the action of an efficient compressive force on each strand 1a. This improves the conduction characteristics. From the above, the electrical resistance at the electrical connection point is reduced.
芯線圧着部16の内面には、溝(セレーション)18が設けられている。芯線1の素線1aが溝18に入り込むよう変形、つまり、伸び変形するため、新生面が発生し、圧縮力を受けることによって凝着が発生するため、芯線1と芯線圧着部16との間の導通抵抗の低減になると共に素線1a間の導通抵抗の低減になる。これによっても、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗の低減を図ることができる。
A groove (serration) 18 is provided on the inner surface of the core wire crimping portion 16. Since the element wire 1a of the core wire 1 is deformed so as to enter into the groove 18, that is, is deformed by extension, a new surface is generated, and adhesion is generated by receiving a compressive force. Therefore, between the core wire 1 and the core wire crimping portion 16 The conduction resistance is reduced and the conduction resistance between the strands 1a is reduced. This also makes it possible to reduce the electrical resistance at the electrical connection point.
芯線1は、アルミ製である。アルミ製の素線1aは、銅合金製に較べて表面にできる酸化被膜が厚い。そのため、アルミ製の芯線1は、素線1a間の導通抵抗による電気抵抗の増加が問題であったが、実施形態では、凝着の発生によって素線1a間の導通抵抗を低減できるため、特にアルミ電線に有効である。アルミ製の芯線1は、銅合金製に較べて柔らかくて伸び易いが、上述したように、芯線圧着部16の中央部E2の芯線1の伸びを抑制して凝着を発生させることができる。このため、実施形態は、この観点からも特にアルミ電線に対する圧着に有効である。
Core wire 1 is made of aluminum. The aluminum strand 1a has a thicker oxide film on the surface than the copper alloy. Therefore, the aluminum core wire 1 has a problem of an increase in electrical resistance due to the conduction resistance between the strands 1a. However, in the embodiment, since the conduction resistance between the strands 1a can be reduced by the occurrence of adhesion, Effective for aluminum wires. The aluminum core wire 1 is softer and more easily stretched than a copper alloy product, but as described above, it can suppress the elongation of the core wire 1 at the center portion E2 of the core wire crimping portion 16 and cause adhesion. Therefore, the embodiment is particularly effective for crimping an aluminum electric wire from this viewpoint.

In the embodiment, the wire crimper 21 of the crimping jig 20 includes the left crimper 21A, the central crimper 21B, and the right crimper 21C that are divided from each other, but may be an integral block body.
