New Generation Plug-in Cable Design and Product Development for White Goods - Cold Plug
(Ieee, 2019) Kıvanç, Ömer Cihan; Ozgonenel, Okan; Bostan, Omer
Cables with today's technology and professional approach through many processes are becoming more reliable. Cables that are subject to special procedures in line with customer demand, safe use is maximized. The ends of the cables which are cut into groups and cut to certain sizes are crimped by opening at a certain point. At the end of these operations, the products are taken to the test area by socketing and then taping. For cables that have been tested for possible inactivity or non-contact condition, terminal crimping is carried out by specialized machines, professional equipment and specialized equipment with the use of the most suitable devices. This paper proposes a new crimping process for cables of household devices. The suggested crimp shape is tested mechanically and electrically. Mechanical tests cover pull-out tests whereas electrical tests consist of maximum load condition tests both in COMSOL (TM) and laboratory environment. According to test results, the proposed crimping shape fulfils the required standards.

A novel crimping technique approach for high power white good plugs
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022) Kıvanç, Ömer Cihan; Ozgonenel, Okan; Bostan, Omer; Guzel, Sahin; Demirsoy, Mert
The crimping process is essential to human health and the durability of devices, especially in domestic appliances. Moreover, terminal crimping is critical to the safe transmission of electricity; incorrect crimping leads to problems including overheating of the plug, power loss, arc, and failure of the mechanical connection. In recent years, analysis has been performed by the finite element method (FEM) to prevent the incorrect design of crimping and to develop higher performance crimping techniques. A novel crimping technique for domestic appliances requiring high-powered plugs is proposed in this study. After defining the crimp parameters and the materials that are used for the crimp design, optimization is undertaken by using an analytical solver that uses both numerical calculation and finite element method analysis by COMSOL (TM) and Hyperworks. Prototypes are manufactured based on the result of the research, and capability analysis is performed using a histogram diagram. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed crimping technique for high-powered applications are validated by simulation and experimental studies.
