Abstract

Bei Verwendung eines Vlieses (7) zur Verteilung von Gießharz über eine abzudichtende Bauteiloberfläche wird vor dem Einbringen des Gießharzes mit einem erwärmten Stempel (9) auf das Vlies (7) gedrückt, um dieses zu glätten. Durch erhöhte Temperatur des Stempels (9) oder durch Lösungsmittel kann dabei das Vlies (7) leicht mit der Bauteiloberfläche (2, 3) verklebt werden. Damit wird sichergestellt, daß das Vlies (7) gleichmäßig an der gesamten Bauteiloberfläche anliegt und das Gießharz verteilt.If a fleece (7) is used to distribute casting resin over a component surface to be sealed, a heated punch (9) is pressed onto the fleece (7) before the casting resin is introduced in order to smooth it. The fleece (7) can easily be glued to the component surface (2, 3) by increasing the temperature of the stamp (9) or by solvents. This ensures that the fleece (7) lies evenly on the entire component surface and distributes the casting resin.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Abdichtung eines elektrischen Bauelementes, insbesondere eines Relais, mit einem einzelne Durchbrüche bzw. Fugen aufweisenden Gehäuse, wobei zunächst ein Vlies, d.h. eine Gewebeschicht mit hoher kapillarer Saugfähigkeit, über die abzudichtenden Gehäusedurchbrüche gelegt und anschließend mit einem dünnflüssigen, aushärtbarem Gießharz getränkt wird.The invention relates to a method for sealing an electrical component, in particular a relay, with a housing having individual openings or joints, with a fleece, i.e. a layer of fabric with high capillary absorbency, placed over the housing openings to be sealed and then impregnated with a thin, curable cast resin.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus der DE-AS 26 16 299' bekannt. Es wird im wesentlichen angewendet zur Abdichtung der Gehäusedurchbrüche für Anschlußstifte und der Gehäusefugen zwischen einem Sockel und einer Schutzkappe. Mit der Verwendung des Vlieses ist es dabei möglich, eine geringe Menge an Gießharz gut über die gesamte Oberfläche zu verteilen und insbesondere an die Gehäusedurchbrüche heranzuführen, ohne dabei die herausragenden Anschlußstifte zu verunreinigen und ohne die Bauhöhe eines Relais oder eines ähnlichen Bauelementes wesentlich zu vergrößern.Such a method is known from DE-AS 26 16 299 '. It is mainly used to seal the housing openings for connecting pins and the housing joints between a base and a protective cap. With the use of the fleece, it is possible to distribute a small amount of casting resin well over the entire surface and, in particular, to introduce it to the housing openings without contaminating the protruding connecting pins and without significantly increasing the overall height of a relay or a similar component.

Für den Abdichtvorgang ist entscheidend, daß das Vlies auf der abzudichtenden Gehäuseoberfläche, insbesondere auch an den Rändern,plan aufliegt, da sonst Undichtigkeiten auftreten können. Um dies zu erreichen, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, während des Einbringens des Gießharzes einen Rahmen auf das Vlies aufzulegen und somit das Vlies an den Rändern bis zum Aushärten des Gießharzes zu beschweren. Dies bedeutet allerdings einen erhöhten Fertigungsaufwand, da diese Rahmen aus besonderem Material, beispielsweise Polytetrafluoräthylen, bestehen müssen, um ein Ankleben des Gießharzes an den Rahmen zu vermeiden. Wegen der verhältnismäßig langen Dauer des Aushärtevorgangs (einige Stunden) muß eine große Zahl dieser kostspieligen Rahmen zur Verfügung stehen, außerdem müssen diese nach jeder Verwendung gereinigt werden, um weiterverwendet werden zu können.It is crucial for the sealing process that the fleece lies flat on the housing surface to be sealed, especially at the edges, otherwise leaks can occur. In order to achieve this, it has already been proposed to place a frame on the fleece during the introduction of the casting resin and thus to weigh down the fleece at the edges until the casting resin has hardened. However, this means an increased manufacturing effort, since these frames are special Material, for example polytetrafluoroethylene, must exist in order to prevent the casting resin from sticking to the frame. Because of the relatively long duration of the curing process (a few hours), a large number of these expensive frames must be available, and these must also be cleaned after each use in order to be able to be used again.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, das Verfahren der eingangs erwähnten Art so weiterzuentwickeln, daß das aufgebrachte Vlies an allen Stellen der Bauteiloberfläche gut anliegt und dadurch eine gleichmäßige Harzverteilung und Abdichtung sicherstellt, ohne daß zusätzliche Teile wie Magazine und Andruckrahmen zeitweise mit dem Bauelement verbunden werden und zusätzliche Arbeitsgänge erfordern. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Vlies unmittelbar vor dem Aufbringen des Gießharzes mit einem erwärmten, der Bauelementoberfläche angepaßten Stempel auf das Bauelement aufgedrückt wird.The object of the present invention is to further develop the method of the type mentioned at the outset such that the applied nonwoven fits well at all points on the component surface and thereby ensures an even distribution of resin and sealing, without additional parts such as magazines and pressure frames being temporarily connected to the component and require additional operations. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the fleece is pressed onto the component immediately before the casting resin is applied using a heated stamp which is adapted to the component surface.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Andrücken des Vlieses mit einem erwärmten Stempel wird sichergestellt, daß das Vlies bereits vor dem-Aufbringen des Harzes geglättet wird. Dieses Harz ergibt an allen Stellen eine gute und dichte Verbindung mit der Bauteiloberfläche; auch nach dem Aushärten behält das Vlies eine glatte Oberfläche. Der Stempel zum Andrücken des Vlieses stellt zwar eine zusätzliche Vorrichtung in der Fertigung dar. Er bedeutet jedoch wesentlich weniger Aufwand als die Methode, die Relais zunächst in ein Magazin zu bringen, mit Abdeckrahmen zu bestücken und diese Abdeckrahmen, die ja für den Fertigungsausstoß der gesamten Aushärtezeit zur Verfügung stehen müssen, später wieder von den Relais zu lösen und für einen neuen Einsatz bereitzuhalten. Der erfindungsgemäß verwendete Ausdruckstempel kann dagegen ohne weiteres in eine automatisierte Fertigungsstraße integriert werden.By pressing the fleece according to the invention with a heated stamp, it is ensured that the fleece is smoothed before the resin is applied. This resin results in a good and tight connection to the component surface at all points; the fleece retains a smooth surface even after curing. The stamp for pressing the fleece is an additional device in production. However, it means much less effort than the method of first putting the relays in a magazine, fitting them with cover frames and these cover frames, which are used for the production output of the whole Hardening time must be available, later to be released from the relays and ready for a new use. The printout stamp used according to the invention, on the other hand, can easily be integrated into an automated production line.

In einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird die Temperatur des Stempels in Abhängigkeit vom Material des Vlieses so gewählt, daß das Vlies durch ein kurzes Andrücken lediglich geglättet wird. Bei üblichen Vliesstoffen, wie Zellwolle oder Polyesterfasern, werden Temperaturen von etwa 200° C gewählt. Bei diesem Verfahren können im Gegensatz zu bisher üblichen Verfahren auch Vliesstoffe verwendet werden, die wegen ihrer Neigung zur Wellenbildung bisher nicht einsetzbar waren, wie beispielsweise Polyester.In one embodiment of the method according to the invention, the temperature of the stamp is selected as a function of the material of the fleece in such a way that the fleece is only smoothed out by briefly pressing it on. With conventional nonwovens, such as rayon or polyester fibers, temperatures of around 200 ° C. are selected. In contrast to conventional methods, this method can also use nonwovens, such as polyester, which could not be used because of their tendency to form waves.

Weiterhin kann es zweckmäßig sein, die Temperatur des Stempels in Anpassung an ein thermoplastisches Gehäusematerial so zu wählen, daß die Gehäuseoberfläche angeschmolzen und mit dem Vlies verklebt wird. Bei üblichen Thermoplasten werden hierbei Temperaturen von etwa 240° C gewählt. Soweit das Vlies größere freie Flächen überdeckt, kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, das Vlies vom Rand her mit Schlitzen zu versehen, um ein späteres Abheben des Vlieses in jedem Fall zu verhindern.Furthermore, it may be expedient to choose the temperature of the stamp in adaptation to a thermoplastic housing material so that the housing surface is melted and glued to the fleece. For conventional thermoplastics, temperatures of around 240 ° C are selected. If the fleece covers larger free areas, it can also be expedient to provide the fleece with slots from the edge in order to prevent the fleece from being lifted off in any case.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, daß das Vlies vor dem Andrükken des Stempels mit einer geringen Menge eines das Gehäusematerial angreifenden Lösungsmittels getränkt wird. In diesem Fall wird die Gehäuseoberfläche etwas angelöst und verklebt beim Aufdrücken des Stempels mit dem Vlies. Dabei kann es genügen, das Lösungsmittel nur an wenigen Stellen, vorzugsweise im Randbereich des Gehäuses, aufzubringen. Die Kapillarwirkung des Vlieses wird in diesem Fall bereits vor dem Einbringen des Gießharzes für die Verteilung des Lösungsmittels ausgenutzt. Das Lösungsmittel kann beispielsweise durch Öffnungen des Stempels auf das Vlies aufgebracht werden. Der Vorteil dieses Verfahrens liegt vor allem darin, daß für den Stempel eine erheblich niedrigere Temperatur als bei den obengenannten Methoden gewählt werden kann; es genügt beispielsweise eine Stempeltemperatur von ca. 40° C. Dies ist wichtig bei sehr dünnwandigen Gehäusen, die sich bei hohen Stempeltemperaturen verziehen könnten.In a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is provided that the fleece is soaked with a small amount of a solvent attacking the housing material before the stamp is pressed on. In this case, the surface of the housing is slightly loosened and glued to the fleece when the stamp is pressed on. It may be sufficient to apply the solvent only in a few places, preferably in the edge region of the housing. In this case, the capillary action of the fleece is used for the distribution of the solvent before the casting resin is introduced. The solvent can be applied to the fleece, for example, through openings in the stamp. The main advantage of this method is that the temperature of the stamp is considerably lower than that of the above methods can be chosen; for example, a stamp temperature of approx. 40 ° C. is sufficient. This is important in the case of very thin-walled housings which could warp at high stamp temperatures.

Das Lösungsmittel kann beispielsweise durch Öffnungen im Stempel unmittelbar auf das Vlies aufgebracht werden. Damit vermeidet man weitgehend das Auftreten schädlicher Lösungsmitteldämpfe. Verwendet werden im übrigen übliche Lösungsmittel, wie beispielsweise Trichloräthylen, Perchloräthylen, Aceton oder Methylenchlorid.The solvent can be applied directly to the fleece through openings in the stamp, for example. This largely avoids the occurrence of harmful solvent vapors. The usual solvents are used, such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, acetone or methylene chloride.

Soweit durch ein großflächiges Ankleben des Vlieses dessen Kapillarwirkung beeinträchtigt werden könnte, kann man den Fluß des Gießharzes von einer Einfüllstelle zu entfernten Gehäusekanten durch zusätzliche Rillen in der Gehäuseoberfläche verbessern. Das kann von Vorteil sein bei großen abzudichtenden Gehäuseoberflächen, bei denen dann von einer Einfüllstelle aus das Gießharz zunächst über einzelne Kanäle unterhalb des Vlieses bis zu den entfernten Rändern gelangt und von den Kanälen aus durch das Vlies über die gesamte Fläche verteilt wird.To the extent that the capillary effect could be impaired by a large-area gluing of the fleece, the flow of the casting resin from a filling point to distant housing edges can be improved by additional grooves in the housing surface. This can be of advantage in the case of large housing surfaces to be sealed, in which the casting resin then reaches the removed edges from a filling point via individual channels below the fleece and is distributed over the entire surface from the ducts through the fleece.

Beispiele für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 eine Vorrichtung zum Andrücken des Vlieses mit einem beheizten Stempel,
  • Fig. 2 eine Vorrichtung mit zusätzlicher Lösungsmittelzuführung.
Examples of the method according to the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows
  • 1 is a device for pressing the fleece with a heated stamp,
  • Fig. 2 shows a device with additional solvent supply.

Anhand von Fig. 1 sei allgemein das Andrücken des Vlieses beschrieben. Dargestellt ist ein Bauelement 1, z.B. ein Relais, mit einer Gehäusekappe 2 (teilweise geschnitten) und einem Sockel 3, durch den Anschlußstifte 4 nach außen geführt sind. Das Gehäuse weist somit Fugen 5 zwischen der Gehäusekappe 2 und dem Sockel 3 sowie Durchbrüche 6 im Sockel für die Anschlüsse 4 auf, die gemeinsam mit einem Vlies 7 und mit Gießharz abgedichtet werden sollen.The pressing of the fleece is generally described with reference to FIG. 1. A component 1, for example a relay, is shown with a housing cap 2 (partially cut) and a base 3, through which connecting pins 4 are guided to the outside. The housing thus has joints 5 between the housing cap 2 and the base 3 and openings 6 in the base for the connections 4, which are to be sealed together with a fleece 7 and with casting resin.

Um ein Abheben des Vlieses insbesondere an den Rändern vor dem Aushärten des Gießharzes, das in das Vlies eingebracht wird, zu vermeiden, wird das Bauelement 1 auf einem Transportrahmen 8 unter einen beheizten Stempel 9 befördert, der kurzzeitig senkrecht auf das Vlies gedrückt wird. Dieser Stempel 9 ist genau der Bauteiloberfläche angepaßt. Er besitzt also beispielsweise Ausnehmungen 10 für die Anschlußstifte 4. Auch gegebenenfalls vorhandene Abstufungen der Bauteiloberfläche, die hier nicht dargestellt sind, werden durch entsprechende Anpassung der Stempeloberfläche berücksichtigt, so daß das Vlies 7 durch den beheizten Stempel gleichmäßig auf die Bauteiloberfläche aufgedrückt und geglättet wird.In order to prevent the fleece from lifting off, in particular at the edges, before the casting resin which is introduced into the fleece has hardened, the component 1 is conveyed on a transport frame 8 under a heated stamp 9, which is briefly pressed vertically onto the fleece. This stamp 9 is precisely adapted to the component surface. It thus has, for example, recesses 10 for the connecting pins 4. Any gradations of the component surface which are not shown here are also taken into account by adapting the stamp surface accordingly, so that the fleece 7 is pressed evenly onto the component surface and smoothed by the heated stamp.

Wie bereits beschrieben, kann die Temperatur des Stempels so gewählt werden, daß die Bauteiloberfläche leicht angeschmolzen und mit dem Vlies verklebt wird. Dabei könnte es ausreichen, daß beispielsweise lediglich der Rand der Kappe 2 ringsum mit dem Vlies 7 verklebt wird.As already described, the temperature of the stamp can be chosen so that the component surface is melted slightly and glued to the fleece. It could be sufficient that, for example, only the edge of the cap 2 is glued all round to the fleece 7.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine etwas abgewandelte Ausführungsform. Das Bauelement 1 besitzt wie in Fig. 1 eine Kappe 2 und einen Sockel 3, deren Gehäuseöffnungen mit einem Vlies 7 abgedeckt werden. Zum Andrücken des Vlieses wird ein beheizter Stempel 11 verwendet, der zusätzlich ein Kanalsystem 12 mit Öffnungen 13 zur Andruckseite hin aufweist. Über einen Zuführungsschlauch 14 kann hierbei Lösungsmittel in geringer Dosierung auf das Vlies 7 gebracht werden, um die Oberfläche des Bauteiles leicht anzulösen und mit dem Vlies 7 zu verkleben. Das Lösungsmittel kann eingebracht werden, kurz bevor oder während der Stempel fest auf das Vlies aufgedrückt wird.2 shows a somewhat modified embodiment. As in FIG. 1, the component 1 has a cap 2 and a base 3, the housing openings of which are covered with a fleece 7. A heated stamp 11 is used to press the fleece, which additionally has a channel system 12 with openings 13 to the pressure side. A supply hose 14 can be used to apply a small amount of solvent to the fleece 7 in order to easily dissolve the surface of the component and to glue it to the fleece 7. The solvent can be introduced shortly before or while the stamp is pressed firmly onto the fleece.
