    The invention relates to a manufacturing plant for connecting a line for liquid or gaseous media with a connector, and a method for producing such a compound.
    A compression of a connector with an end portion of a line, in which the pressing force is controlled depending on the way to different values, also called path-dependent force control, is apparent from EP 1 762 312 A1. The end portion of the line is inserted into an annular space between the inner sleeve-shaped first wall portion and the outer sleeve-shaped second wall portion, whereupon pressed with a spreading the first wall portion from the inside toward the outer wall portion against the inserted in the annular space between the two wall portions end portion of the line becomes. In this case, an annular circumferential press groove is formed in the first wall section. To ensure that a sufficient degree of compression or sufficient compression is achieved, it is provided that the pressing force is monitored, wherein a setpoint of the pressing force is predetermined and the currently applied pressing force is compared with this target value.
    From EP 2 364 790 B1 a further pressing machine or a pressing method for pressing a connector is known.
    The pressing devices known from EP 1 762 312 A1 and EP 2 364 790 B1 have the disadvantage that the exact geometry of the hose or pipe to be pressed can only be measured to a limited extent, so that a one attitude of the manufacturing tolerances of the hose or pipe can be controlled only conditionally.
    The present invention has for its object to provide a measuring device for controlling the geometry of a hollow cylindrical object, or to provide a suitable measurement method.
    This object of the invention is achieved by the features according to claim 1 and by the measures according to claim 10.
    According to the invention, a production plant for connecting a line for liquid or gaseous media is provided with a plug connector. The production facility comprises a measuring device for measuring the geometry of the line to be connected, wherein a marking device for marking the measured line is formed on the measuring device. Furthermore, the production plant comprises a pressing machine for pressing the connector with the measured line, wherein on the pressing machine, a detection means for detecting a mark attached to the line is formed.
    An advantage of the inventive design of the manufacturing plant is that the line to be pressed before pressing can be measured with the connector and thus can be ensured that only lines that have sufficient manufacturing accuracy and therefore are within the tolerance limits, are pressed with connectors ,
    Furthermore, it may be expedient for the marking device of the measuring device to comprise at least one color nozzle for applying a colorant to an outer wall surface of the line. The advantage here is that the line can be easily marked by such a design of the marking. In particular, this also makes it possible for different types of lines of different shapes to be marked by the marking device, without the need for retrofitting the marking device.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the marking device five juxtaposed ink nozzles for applying a colorant on an outer wall surface of the line comprises. The advantage here is that by the five ink nozzles different Markierzustände can be mounted on the line and thus a clear assignment of lines is possible.
    In addition, it can be provided that a color memory is designed in the form of a container, which color memory can be acted upon with compressed air and that per color nozzle, a valve, in particular a solenoid valve is arranged. The advantage here is that through the valve, the paint nozzle can be activated and the colorant can be applied to the line.
    Also advantageous is an embodiment according to which it can be provided that the detection means of the pressing machine is designed as an optical detection means, in particular as a camera system.
    According to a development, it is possible that a light source is arranged on the pressing machine, which is designed for emitting ultraviolet light. The advantage here is that a dye can be used to mark the line, which is not visible under daylight and thus no disturbing mark on the line is visible under normal lighting conditions.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient that an optical display means, for example a screen, is formed, which is connected to the measuring device and / or to the pressing machine. The advantage here is that current information on the press machine or the measuring device can be displayed and provided to the user.
    In addition, it can be provided that the measuring device is connected to the pressing machine by means of a data line. The advantage here is that thereby data, in particular geometry data of the line can be transmitted from the measuring device to the press machine.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the measuring device and the pressing machine are controlled by a common computer unit, such as an industrial computer. The advantage here is that the manufacturing facility can be as simple as possible, since only one computer unit is needed.
    In the method for connecting a line for liquid or gaseous media with a connector, in particular using a production line according to one of the preceding claims, it is provided that the method comprises the following method steps: measuring the geometry of the line to be connected to a measuring device; - Marking the line to be connected by means of a marking device when the geometry of the line to be connected is within predetermined tolerance limits; - Inserting the connector in a press machine; - Plugging the line into an annular space formed in the connector; - Check whether the inserted line was measured and marked as a good part by means of a detection means which is arranged on the pressing machine; - Pressing the connector with the line, if the line has been identified as a good part; - Release the connector pressed with the cable.
    An advantage of this method is that the quality of the connection between line and connector can be improved.
    The manipulation of the individual parts between the individual process steps can be done by a machine operator. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the manipulation is automated or semi-automated.
    According to an advantageous development can be provided that at least one color point is applied to an outer wall surface of the line by the marking and that is detected by the detection means, whether the color point is present on the line. This can be achieved that only lines are pressed, which were previously measured and which are within the specified tolerance limits.
    In particular, it may be advantageous that a pattern of color dots is applied to the outer wall surface of the line by the marking device and that the pattern of Därb points is read from the pressing machine by means of the detection means, wherein it is determined whether the last measured line inserted into the pressing machine is. This can be clearly determined whether the last measured line is inserted into the press machine.
    According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that the geometric data of the line detected by the measuring device are transmitted to the pressing machine and the pressing process is carried out as a function of the detected geometric data of the line. The advantage here is that the quality of the connection between the line and connector can be further increased or that the tolerance limits can be extended, so that a smaller number of lines must be discarded as scrap.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient that a wall thickness of the line is detected in the measuring device. The advantage here is that the wall thickness of the line can flow into the pressing parameters, whereby the sealing effect between the line and connector can be improved.
    In addition, it can be provided that the measured values of the line ascertained in the measuring device are adjusted with a predetermined or predefinable tolerance range and that when the tolerance limits are exceeded, this is signaled to the user and the line is released from the measuring device for removal without being marked. The advantage here is that lines that are outside the tolerance limits, thereby can be excreted by the user and thus can be ensured that these faulty lines are not pressed.
    Finally, provision can be made for a distance measuring device to detect the outer wall surface of the line facing the window opening through a window opening arranged in the second jacket section. The advantage here is that it can be detected by whether the cable was correctly inserted into the connector.
    For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

    By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and these position information in a change in position mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location.
    Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a connector assembly 1, which is shown cut in a quarter section. Furthermore, a mating connector 2 is shown schematically in Fig. 1, which is ver bindable with the plug assembly 1. The interaction between plug assembly 1 and a mating connector 2 is adequately described in AT 509 196 B1.
    In Fig. 1, the connector assembly 1 is shown in an assembled state. The plug assembly 1 comprises a line 3 also referred to as a tube. The line 3 may be formed by a more or less flexible hose or by a substantially rigid tube member and serve to guide liquid or gaseous media.
    Furthermore, the plug assembly 1 includes a connector 4 and optionally a between connector 4 and line 3 introduced sealing element 5. The sealing element 5 is particularly necessary if the line 3 consists of a hard plastic material, which is only slightly deformable.
    The connector 4 comprises a connector body 6, which may be preferably formed as a one-piece forming part, such as a deep-drawn part, in particular of a stainless steel sheet.
    2 shows a schematic representation of a vehicle 7 with a plug connector assembly 1 according to FIG. 1. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the connector assembly 1 is preferably used in a vehicle 7, in particular in a road-bound motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine. Specifically, the connector assembly 1 is used to connect various components of the fresh air supply to the internal combustion engine. For example, it may be provided that the plug assembly 1 is provided with the corresponding mating connector 2 for connecting two parts in the intake region of a turbocharger 8. Furthermore, it can also be provided that such a plug connection is used in the outgoing from the turbocharger 8 pressure side for connecting two components.
    Fig. 3 shows a section through a first embodiment of the connector assembly 1 along a central longitudinal axis 9 of the connector 4. In this embodiment, the conduit 3 is formed as a rigid tube, which is not or only slightly deformable. In such a rigid tube, it may be necessary that a sealing element 5 is installed.
    In order to describe the individual components well, they are shown in Fig. 3 in an exploded view.
    As can be clearly seen in FIG. 3, provision may be made for the plug connector 4 to comprise, in addition to the connector body 6, a plug seal 10 which is accommodated in the connector body 6. The plug seal 10 serves to adequately seal the plug assembly 1 in the mated state with a mating connector 2.
    Furthermore, the connector 4 can comprise a spring element 11, by means of which the plug assembly 1 can be secured in its position relative to the mating connector 2 mated with the plug assembly 1. The spring element 11 is constructed so that it can be easily activated and deactivated, so that, if necessary, the plug assembly 1 and the mating connector 2 can be separated from each other or connected to each other.
    As can be seen in FIG. 3, a first jacket section 12 is formed on the connector body 6, which surrounds the central longitudinal axis 9 of the connector 4 in a sleeve shape. In other words, the first casing section 12 is a rotationally symmetrical hollow cylinder.
    The first jacket section 12 has an inner lateral surface 13 and an outer lateral surface 14. The first jacket section 12 is surrounded by a second jacket section 15, which is likewise rotationally symmetrical with respect to the central longitudinal axis 9. The first jacket section 12 is connected to the second jacket section 15 at a first end section 16 by means of a first end wall section 17.
    Like the first jacket section 12, the second jacket section 15 also has an inner jacket surface 18 and an outer jacket face 19.
    The first shell portion 12 is limited by its inner circumferential surface 13 and the outer circumferential surface 14, resulting in a wall thickness 20 of the first shell portion 12 results. The second jacket section 15 is likewise bounded by an inner jacket surface 18 and an outer jacket face 19, resulting in a wall thickness 21 of the second jacket section 15.
    By the spacing of the two shell sections 12,15 to each other, resulting in an annulus 22. The annular space 22 is limited in particular in the radial direction by the outer circumferential surface 14 of the first shell portion 12 and by the inner circumferential surface 18 of the second shell portion 15. In particular, this results in an annular space gap 23. This annular space gap 23 is preferably chosen to be so large that the conduit 3 can be accommodated therein at least partially. In the illustrated embodiment, the annulus gap 23 between 2mm and 20mm, in particular, between 3mm and 10mm, preferably between 5mm and 7mm in size.
    The two jacket sections 12, 15 are open to one another at a second end section 24 of the connector 4, resulting in a tube receiving side 25 of the connector body 6.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that, viewed in the direction of the first end section 16 of the connector 4, a sealing receptacle 26 adjoins the first jacket section 12, which is likewise formed in the connector body 6. In such a seal holder 26, the plug seal 10 may be included. Furthermore, it can be provided that connects to the seal receptacle 26, a third jacket portion 27, which serves to receive the mating connector 2. The end wall section 17, which connects the third jacket section 27 to the second jacket section 15, can adjoin the third jacket section 27. By virtue of this structure or relationship, as already mentioned, the first jacket section 12 is connected to the second jacket section 15 via the end wall section 17.
    Preferably, the connector body 6 is produced in a deep-drawing process, wherein all wall thicknesses of the shell portions of the connector body 6 are approximately equal.
    As can be seen from FIG. 3, the line 3 has an inner wall surface 28 and an outer wall surface 29, which form the wall thickness 30 of the line 3. When the connector body 6 is pressed with the line 3, the inner wall surface 28 rests against the first jacket section 12 and the outer wall surface 29 rests against the second jacket section 15.
    FIG. 4 shows a further and, if appropriate, separate embodiment of the plug assembly 1, in which case the same reference numerals or component designations are again used for the same parts as in the preceding FIG. 3. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding FIG.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the line 3 is formed of an elastic rubber element. A sealing element 5 for sealing between line 3 and connector body 6 is therefore not absolutely necessary, since a line 3 formed in this way can be deformed and therefore a sealing effect can be created directly between line 3 and connector body 6.
    A method for assembling the plug assembly 1 will be described below with reference to the illustration in FIGS. 3 and 4.
    In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the sealing element 5 is inserted into the annular space 22 in a first method step. If the sealing element 5 is correctly positioned in the connector body 6, the line 3 can now be inserted into the annular space 22 in a further method step.
    In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the line 3 is preferably positioned directly in the connector body 6. Positioning of the sealing element 5 can be omitted.
    In order to fix the individual components to one another, it is provided in both exemplary embodiments that, in a further method step for producing the connector assembly 1, the first jacket section 12 is plastically deformed by a pressing operation, so that a positive connection between the first jacket section 12 and line 3 is produced , The Verpressver-drive itself will be explained in more detail in the figure description in more detail.
    FIG. 5 shows a sectional illustration through a pressing machine 31 with clamped plug assembly 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 4, the cut along the central longitudinal axis 9 being selected here as well. In the further embodiment of the plug assembly 1 according to FIG. 4, in which the elastic line 3 is pressed, the pressing process will not be explained separately because it proceeds analogously to the exemplary embodiment of the plug assembly 1 according to FIG.
    6 shows a perspective view of the sectional view corresponding to FIG. 5.
    As can be seen in a combination of FIGS. 5 and 6, the pressing machine 31 comprises a pressing tool 32, by means of which the first casing section 12 of the connector body 6 can be deformed and thus the press connection of the plug assembly 1 can be produced. The pressing tool 32 moves during the pressing process in the radial direction 33. In order to produce a tight connection between the connector 4 and line 3, a certain degree of deformation of the connector 4 and thus a certain travel 34 is necessary, which the pressing tool 32 must move.
    For pressing a rigid conduit 3, the pressing tool 32 may have two partial areas. During the pressing process, a first partial region 35 deforms the first jacket section 12 in such a way that a first deformation point 36 is formed. The first deformation point 36 produces a positive connection between the line 3 and the connector body 6. A second subsection 37 of the pressing
    Tool 32 generates a second deformation point 38 through which the sealing element 5 is clamped.
    When pressing an elastic line 3, the pressing tool 32 may have only one pressing nose, which deforms the first jacket section 12 during the pressing process.
    Furthermore, a distance measuring device 39 can be provided which detects the outer wall surface 29 of the line 3 facing the window opening 40 through a window opening 40 arranged in the second jacket section 15. Thereby, the deformation of the first shell portion 12 can be performed depending on the result of the detection of the outer wall surface 29 of the conduit 3 performed by the distance measuring device 39.
    Fig. 7 shows a front view of a measuring device 41 for measuring the geometry of the line 3. As a measuring device 41, the stand-alone machine is seen, which is suitable for measuring the line 3.
    In order to be able to press the line 3 into the connector 4, it may be necessary to determine the wall thickness 30 or other geometric data of the line 3 before the start of the pressing process. It can thereby be achieved that the pressure between the connector 4 and line 3 is media-tight and meets the safety requirements. In particular, it should also be possible to determine the wall thickness 30 in lines 3, which are formed in the form of an elastic tube.
    In order to be able to determine the wall thickness 30 of the line 3, the measuring device 41 comprises a probe arrangement 42. The probe arrangement 42 comprises internal probes 43 with scanning surfaces 44 arranged on the outside, which are designed for application to the inner wall surface 28 of the line 3. The sensing surfaces 44 of the internal probe 43 are preferably rounded, so that the inner probe 43, in particular the scanning 44 rests only on a Berührlinie on the inner wall surface 28 and does not lie flat against this. This has the advantage that the measurement can be more accurate and that line 3 can be measured with different diameters.
    Each of the internal probes 43 corresponds to an external probe 45, wherein each outer probe 45 has an internally arranged sensing surface 46 for abutment against the outer wall surface 29 of the conduit 3.
    In particular, it may be provided that the contact lines between the internal measuring probe 43 and the inner wall surface 28 and between the external measuring probe 45 and the outer wall surface 29 lie on a common straight line 47, which extends through the center 48 of the probe arrangement 42. Both the internal measuring probes 43 and the external measuring probes 45 can be displaced along the straight line 47 and therefore in the radial direction 6.
    For clarity, in Fig. 7, a housing 50 of the measuring device 41 is indicated only schematically and not shown in detail. The housing 50 may form a protective jacket around the interior of the measuring device 41, so that it can be used as a self-operating machine in a production plant. In particular, it is conceivable that the housing 50 is formed as a dust-tight closed housing, wherein at the front of the housing, a circular opening is formed through which the probe 43, 45 are accessible.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that a slider 51 is formed, which serves to close this circular opening in the housing 50 and thus in the unused state, the measuring device 41, in particular their internal measuring components, can be largely sealed off from a dirty industrial environment. As can also be seen from FIG. 7, provision can be made for a base plate 52 to be formed on which the individual components or components of the measuring device 41 are arranged or fastened.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the measuring device 41 comprises a display means 53, or that a display means 53 is coupled to the measuring device 41.
    The display means 53 can be designed to be able to visually and / or acoustically indicate whether the line 3 measured at the measuring device 41 is within the tolerance limits.
    Fig. 8 shows the measuring device 41 in a perspective view obliquely from below, wherein in turn the same reference numerals or component designations are used as in the previous Fig. 7 for the same parts. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding FIG. In the view of Fig. 8, the slider 51 for concealing a front opening in the housing 50 is not shown.
    As can be clearly seen in FIG. 8, provision may be made for a marking device 54 to be formed on the measuring device 41, which marking device serves to mark the line 3. The marking device 54 can be used in particular to mark lines 3 which have been measured and which lie within the tolerance limits and have thus been identified as a good part. In particular, it can be provided that in the further manufacturing process for producing a line assembly for the intake manifold of a motor vehicle engine in each line 3 is queried prior to its use, whether this was measured as a good part. For the marking device 54, various types of marking mechanisms can be used. In particular, it is conceivable that one or more ink nozzles 55 are formed, which mark the outer wall surface 29 of the conduit 3 with a dye. In particular, the dye may be an ink which is sprayed through the paint nozzle 55.
    It has proved to be advantageous if a dye is used which is visible, for example, only under UV light. Thus, it can be achieved that after completion of the line assembly attached to the line 3 markings are not visible under normal lighting conditions.
    As an alternative to the embodiment of the marking device 54 with a color nozzle 55, it is also conceivable that the marking device 54 comprises a laser, which laser can attach, for example, a bar code to the outer wall surface 29 of the line 3. This mark can be used to uniquely identify and assign the line 3 to the survey data of the geometry.
    In particular, it is possible that in the case of a marking which uniquely identifies the line 3, the exact geometry data of the line 3 is transferred to a pressing machine following in the production process, so that a subsequent pressing operation can be carried out depending on the result of the measurement carried out.
    Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the measurement results are stored in order to enable improved quality control in the product life cycle.
    In yet another embodiment, it is possible that the marking device 54 comprises, for example, an embossing punch and that a good part is provided with an embossing.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the measuring device 41 comprises a color memory 56. The color memory 56 may be in the form of a container, for example as a bottle. The color is stored in this container.
    By means of a compressed air supply line 57, the color memory 56 can be subjected to internal pressure. Thus, the ink can be pressed into a leading away from the color memory 56 main color line 58. The main color line 58 can branch into a plurality of individual color lines 59, which are each coupled to a color nozzle 55. In the paint nozzle 55 or in the individual color lines 59 or in the main color line 58, a valve 60, in particular a solenoid valve may be arranged. By opening the valve 60, the paint can be applied to the line 3.
    If a valve 60 is provided for each ink nozzle 55 at a plurality of ink nozzles 55, then different patterns can be applied to the pipe 3. As a result, a plurality of information can be applied to the line 3, whereby a single line is uniquely identifiable.
    If only one valve 60 is provided for a plurality of ink nozzles 55, only two states, such as in order / not in order, can be displayed on the line 3.
    FIG. 9 shows a production plant 61 in a perspective view, again using the same reference numerals or component designations for the same parts as in the preceding FIGS. 1 to 8. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding figures 1 to 8 or reference.
    The manufacturing plant 61 comprises the measuring device 41, which is designed to measure the geometry of the line 3 to be connected. At the measuring device 41, the marking device 54 is formed, which serves to mark the measured line 3. Furthermore, the manufacturing plant 61 comprises the pressing machine 31 for pressing the connector 4 with the previously measured line 3. On the pressing machine 31, a detection means 62 for detecting a mounted on the line 3 marking 63 is formed.
    The manufacturing plant 61 can be used to increase the quality of the connection of the line 3 with the connector 4.
    In particular, it is provided that the line 3 is measured in a first step on the measuring device 41 in order to determine whether the line 3 has been manufactured within predetermined and defined tolerance limits. In particular, the geometric data of the line 3 are detected, such as the wall thickness 30. In addition, it is also conceivable that an inner diameter of the inner wall surface 28 or an outer diameter of the outer wall surface 29 of the line 3 is detected.
    Furthermore, it is provided that the line 3, if this is within the predetermined tolerance limits, is marked by means of the marking device 54 in order to identify it as a good part. If the line 3 is marked as a good part marked and marked, it is removed from the measuring device 41 and inserted into the formed in the connector 4 annulus 22. The connector 4 is in this case pre-positioned on the pressing machine 31 and received in this.
    In a further method step, the detecting means 62 of the pressing machine 31 checks whether the inserted line 3 has been measured and marked as a good part.
    If the line 3 was positively identified as a good part, then the connector 4 is pressed with the line 3. After successful completion of the pressing process, the connector 4 with the line 3 pressed thereon is released for removal from the pressing machine 31. Thus, the finished assembly of connector 4 and line 3 can be removed from the press machine 31 and a new not yet pressed connector 4 can be accommodated in the press machine 31.
    In a first embodiment, it is conceivable that the marking device 54 of the measuring device 41 applies a single color point to the line 3 and thus only the two states good part or no good part can be read on the line 3 as information preservation.
    In a further embodiment, it is conceivable that, for example, when using five color nozzles 55, the number of 32 different marking patterns can be attached to the line 3. Thus, it can also be queried by the assignability of the line whether the measuring device 41 previously measured and marked as a good part line 3 was inserted for pressing into the pressing machine 31. The 32 different marking options can be varied by a random generator or in a specific sequence.
    If the marking device 54 is designed such that it can mark the line 3 clearly identifiable, arises as a possible extension that between the measuring device 41 and pressing machine 31, a data line 64 is out forms, which transmits the measured geometric data of the line 3 to the pressing machine 31 , As a result, it is conceivable for the pressing process to be carried out as a function of the actual and measured geometry of the line 3. By this measure, the quality of the connection between line 3 and 4 connector can be improved.
    Furthermore, it is conceivable that in a method in which the exact geometry of the line 3 is taken into account, the tolerance limits of the line 3 can be selected larger than in a geometry-independent pressing. Thus, the number of rejects can be reduced.
    Furthermore, it is conceivable that both the measuring device 41 and the pressing machine 31 are controlled by a common computer unit 65. It can thereby be achieved that the two machines interact with one another and, in addition, that the complexity of the manufacturing plant 61 is reduced since only one computer unit 65 is required for both machines. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the computer unit 65 and the display means 53 are integrated in a common housing.
    As can be seen from FIG. 9, it is conceivable that a light source 66 is arranged in the pressing machine 31, through which light source 66 the marking 63 applied to the line 3 is made visible to the detection means 62 and / or to the user. In particular, the light source 66 may be a UV lamp or a black light lamp through which a particular ink may be made visible.
    If a line 3 has been inserted in the measuring device 41 whose geometry is outside the predetermined tolerance limits, this is signaled optically and / or acoustically to the operator and can selectively release the line 3 for removal from the measuring device 41 after confirmation of the user. This line 3 is not provided here with the marking 63 and is therefore not intended for further compression in the pressing machine 31. However, if this line 3 is falsely nevertheless inserted into a connector 4 provided in the pressing machine 31, then it is provided that the pressing machine 31 or the periphery connected thereto signals the user to insert a wrong line 3 and the pressing process can not be started.
    In a further embodiment, it is also conceivable that a laser is formed as marking device 54, which applies the marking 63 in the form of a bar code or bar code on the line 3.
