Abstract (en)

The insertion device with a needle board (10) for mutual insertion of needles (41, 44) into the needle board, where the needles are clamped in multiple clamping claws (40) and the needle board has multiple holes for receiving needles, comprises three recesses for receiving one of the needles, a removable guiding section (32), a strip, which is fixed to a needle board reception of a mounting apparatus, extends itself in a longitudinal direction and has an adjustment unit that enables an adjustment in x-direction, and an retaining arm, at which the strip is kept. The insertion device with a needle board (10) for mutual insertion of needles (41, 44) into the needle board, where the needles are clamped in multiple clamping claws (40) and the needle board has multiple holes for receiving needles, comprises three recesses for receiving one of the needles, a removable guiding section (32), a strip, which is fixed to a needle board reception of a mounting apparatus, extends itself in a longitudinal direction and has an adjustment unit that enables an adjustment in x-direction, and an retaining arm, at which the strip is kept and which extends in a transverse direction right-angled to the longitudinal direction. The recesses are arranged, so that they are used for guiding the tips of the respective needle into the corresponding holes, where the guiding section has a front surface. The recesses are equidistantly arranged from each other in the longitudinal direction with a distance, which corresponds to a division of the holes of the needle board. The recess is formed as groove, which is formed on a surface of the insertion device and extends up to an edge, where several grooves (51) run parallel to each other. The width and depth of the groove reduce along its progression to the edge. A cross-section of the groove narrows into the depth originating from the surface of the insertion device, and is in trapezoid- or triangular form. The removable guiding section is adapted to the needle board and has same suitable recesses to the holes, is arranged to the strip and is kept relative to the strip in a height-adjustable manner. The strip is adjustable related to the retaining arm in the transverse direction and is fixable in its position by a clamping device. The retaining arm is adjustable related to the mounting apparatus in the longitudinal direction and is fixable in its position.

Abstract (de)

Es wird eine Einführeinrichtung (20) geschaffen, die es einem Bediener erleichtert, viele in einer Mehrfachspannzange (40) eingespannte Nadeln (41, 44) auch bei gewissen Lageabweichungen gleichzeitig in die zugehörigen Bohrungen (11) eines Nadelbrettes (10) einzusetzen. Die Einführeinrichtung (20) weist einen Führungsabschnitt (32) mit vielen parallelen Nuten (51) auf, die im Abstand der Bohrungen (11) angeordnet sind und jeweils die Spitze (45) einer Nadel (41, 44) aufnehmen und zu der zugehörigen Bohrung (11) führen können. Dabei helfen die Nuten (51), die einzelnen Nadeln (41, 44) auf die Bohrungen (11) auszurichten, indem sie etwaige Lageabweichungen durch geringfügige Biegung der Nadeln (41, 44) korrigieren. Die Einführeinrichtung (20) ist an einem Bestückungsautomaten (1) angebracht und bezogen auf ein in diesem aufgenommenes Nadelbrett (10) verstellbar und arretierbar.
