Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling according to the preamble of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a generic same coupling, which is simpler and more compact in construction and cheaper to manufacture and has very good electrical properties.
  • the subject of the invention is a rotary joint for transmitting electrical currents at a full fürmos sadness the rotary coupling and an integrated connector for releasing an electrical connection, whereby a cost-effective production is possible by a simple structural design.
  • the plug coupling consists of a rotor and a stator with, for example, up to five equal paths, with which both signal currents and power currents can be transmitted.
  • the figures show an electric rotary joint 1 with an inner and an outer sliding contact ring arrangement 2, 3 for transmitting electrical currents, the inner sliding contact ring arrangement 2 being provided with a plurality of first slip rings 4, the first lugs 7 leading outwards in the direction 6 of the axis each having a first slip ring 4 with a first flag 7 has a one-piece construction.
  • the outer Schleifitchaktringan angel 3 is provided with a plurality of second slip rings 5, which have unilaterally in an opposite direction 9 of the axis outwardly leading second lugs 8, wherein in each case a second slip ring 5 with a second lug 8 has a one-piece construction.
  • the second slip rings 5 are provided with a plurality of spring contacts 10, which are formed by Materialaus originallyung and deformation.
  • the spring contacts 10 of the second slip rings 5 are in electrical contact with a respective outer slip ring surface 18 of the first slip rings 4 coaxially. This results in a simple, compact design of the coupling 1 and a very good electrical conductivity, since the electrical interfaces (contact and solder joints) are kept to a minimum.
  • the first slip ring 4 with a first lug 7 as an electrical conductor, which has a T-shape, is shown in a development.
  • the end of the first flag 7 is a contact tongue 13 configured.
  • a certain length of the first lug 7 is required so that the contact tongues 13 for a plug connection 14 terminate at the same level.
  • small cutouts 26 are arranged.
  • the first slip rings 4 are formed by a positive groove connection 11, in particular by a dovetail spring / groove connection, which results by bending over into a ring 4.
  • the second slip ring 5 is shown with a second lug 8 as an electrical conductor in a development, which has a T-shape.
  • the second slip ring 5 is provided with a plurality of uniformly arranged spring contacts 10.
  • the spring contacts 10 are each formed by a U-shaped recess 41, a weakening recess 42 and a deformation 43.
  • the end of the second lug 8 is designed for a solder joint 15.
  • a plug connection 14 may be provided.
  • a certain length of the second lug 8 is required so that the solder joints 15 terminate at the same level. For bending the second flag 8 small cutouts 26 are arranged.
  • the second slip rings 5 are formed by a positive groove connection 11, in particular by a dovetail spring / groove connection, which results by bending into a ring 5.
  • the end portion 12 of the first or second lugs 7,8 is provided as a contact tongues 13 of a plug connection 14 or as a solder joint 15.
