Definitions

  • the invention relates to a battery pole terminal according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such Batteriepolan gleichklemmen are for example from the German patent application DE 30 29 335 known.
  • a through hole is provided laterally on the jaws.
  • the screw is screwed with a locknut and the lever pivots around the screw on a cam piece.
  • To close the lever is pivoted about the screw axis so that it presses the cams of the cam piece in the direction of the jaws.
  • a jamming of the pole is effected in the jaws.
  • the disadvantage of this solution is that the design of the cam is decisive for the clamping force of the jaws.
  • a secure connection of the terminal with the battery post during assembly can not be guaranteed. Jamming is made possible only after assembly, in which the lever is pivoted. Thus, no reliable statements about the reliability of the deadlock after assembly can be made.
  • a battery pole terminal is known in which a lever is pivoted relative to a rotary axis element.
  • the clamping force exerted by the jaws on a battery pole is determined in this publication only by the differently shaped cams of the lever.
  • a lever is arranged by means of a screw extending parallel to the pole on one side of a jaw.
  • one side of the clamping jaw has flange regions which project beyond the other side of the clamping jaw.
  • the screw is arranged and the lever is rotatable about it Screw mounted. To close the lever is rotated about the screw axis and the jaws are moved towards each other.
  • the clamping force is substantially dependent on the outer configuration of the cam portion of the lever.
  • the lever is pivotally mounted on an additional rotary axis element.
  • the rotary axis element is designed so that it is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the closure element.
  • the axis of rotation element may be a bolt which has a bore extending transversely to its longitudinal axis into which the closure element is inserted.
  • a lever is pivotably arranged around the rotary axis element, so that the pivot plane of the lever lies substantially parallel to the axis of the closure element.
  • the lever can be in the use position, ie the lever is in the position in which the terminal is closed.
  • the closure element and the counterpart is moved toward each other for assembly, wherein between the closure element and the counterpart, the rotary axis element is arranged and the Auffactzutouch of the closure element and the counterpart causes a jamming of the lever with the jaws.
  • the force can be determined with which the lever compresses the jaws.
  • the force with which the jaws are clamped to the pole can already be determined for mounting. This leads to a defined assembly condition that is suitable for quality assurance purposes.
  • the closure element is a screw and the counterpart is a mating thread or a lock nut.
  • the screw is screwed to the counterpart or the locknut when closing.
  • the pole connecting terminal can be mounted in a particularly simple manner by the rotational axis element and the lever being detachably arranged on the clamping body.
  • the rotary axis element can be designed so that the closure element is inserted through a bore.
  • the lever has two cam-shaped bearing parts, each having holes into which the rotary axis element is inserted.
  • the bores are preferably eccentric to a center of the bearing parts, so that the bearing parts form cams.
  • the bearing parts are fixed by means of the plugged by the rotary axis element closure element on the rotary axis element.
  • the jaws have flange portions which receive the closure element.
  • the flange portions may be outwardly extending extensions of the jaws.
  • the flange portions are preferably formed so that they receive the closure element and form a contact surface for the lever, so that the lever together with the closure element, the flange can move toward each other, whereby the jaws are closed.
  • the screw or the lock nut are easily accessible. Preference is given to the use of a square screw, which bears against a flange area. To screw the nut is then bolted to the screw. By using a spacer sleeve, a sufficiently large distance between the lock nut and the rotary axis element can be ensured, so that the nut can be easily screwed with a tool.
  • the flange areas have oppositely directed inclined surfaces. In these inclined surfaces engage counter surfaces of the closure element or the counterpart.
  • the inclined surfaces on the flange portions and the mating surfaces are complementarily curved in shape, wherein both curvatures are in the same direction and correspond approximately. This ensures that when tightening the counterpart, the closure element fits tightly against the flange and a canting is connected.
  • the lever has at least one cam-shaped bearing part.
  • This cam-shaped bearing part has at least two legs, which have different distances to the axis of rotation of the lever.
  • a first side, or a first leg has a short distance to the pivot axis, whereas a second side, or a second leg has a long distance to the pivot axis.
  • the flange parts are inclined at about 45 ° relative to the pole axis.
  • the lever arm can then lie in the position of use perpendicular to the polar axis. This means that access from above the pole is easily possible by pulling the lever upwards, whereby the first side is pivoted in the direction of the flange areas and the connection terminal is opened.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded view with a lever 2, a rotary axis element 4, a lock nut 6 and a spacer sleeve 8.
  • the lever 2 has two cam-shaped bearing parts 10a, b, which are integrally formed with a lever arm 12.
  • the bearing parts 10a, 10b concentric bores are arranged, in which the rotary axis element 4 can be accommodated.
  • the holes are designed so that a first leg 14 and a second leg 16 forms on the cam-shaped bearing parts 10, wherein the distances of the legs 14 and 16 are different to the center of the bore.
  • the leg 14 forms a first side which is a short distance from the rotation axis element 4, and the leg 16 forms a second side which is at a long distance from the rotation axis element 4.
  • the Drehachselement 47 has a bore 18 into which a screw (not shown) can be inserted.
  • the rotary axis element 4 is milled in the region of the bore 18, so that a support surface for the spacer sleeve 8 is formed.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further exploded view of an arrangement according to the invention.
  • a clamping body 20 with jaws 22 and integrally formed thereon flange portions 24 are also shown.
  • a square screw 26 is also shown for mounting the square screw 26 is inserted into concentric holes in the flange 24.
  • the rotary axis element 4 is inserted into the holes in the bearing parts 10. Then, the square screw 26 is pushed through the bore 18, whereby the lever 2 is fixed to the rotation axis member 4. Finally, the screw 26 is pushed through the spacer sleeve 8 and screwed to the lock nut 6.
  • a screw connection of the terminal is in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the terminal 1 is mounted on a battery post (not shown).
  • the lever arm 12 is perpendicular to the axis of the battery post and the second side 16 abuts against the flange portion 24b.
  • the sleeve 8 is pressed against the rotary axis element 4. This results in a force F parallel to the axis of the screw 26.
  • the flange portions 24 are moved towards each other.
  • the clamping jaws 22 of the clamping body 20 are moved towards each other, so that a pole between the jaws can be jammed.
  • a predetermined torque can be applied, so that the force F can be determined with which the lever 2 and the screw 26, the flange portions 24 compress. Knowing the force F can be determined, with which force the jaws 22 jam the pole. This allows accurate quality control of the connection of the clamp body 20 to the pole.
  • an electrical connection for a battery cable which is electrically contacted by means of the terminal according to the invention at the pole.
  • Fig. 4 shows a terminal according to the invention in an open position. Unlike the in Fig. 3 shown position of use, the lever 2 is now pivoted about the axis of rotation element 4, that instead of the second side 16, the first side 14 in the direction of the flange portion 24 shows. As shown, the distance between the rotary axis element 4 and the first side 14 is considerably shorter than the distance between the rotary axis element 4 and the second side 16. This results in a pivoting of the lever 2 in the in Fig. 4 shown position a free running of the flange 24, so that they are no longer pressed towards each other.
  • the jaws 22, which are preferably formed from forged material, are now in an open position and the terminal 1 can be readily removed from the pole (not shown). In the Fig.
  • the mating surfaces 28 engage in the inclined surfaces of the flange portion 24a.
  • the curvature of the inclined surfaces prevents the screw 26 from tilting against the flange region 24. This ensures a secure screwing. This means that the force F, with which the flange portions 24 are pressed against each other, can be kept constant even during operation.
  • the counter nut is designed to be self-locking, so that a loosening of the lock nut 6 can be prevented by the screw 26.
  • the terminal By the terminal according to the invention, it is possible to screw the jaws with a tool with a suitable torque on the battery pole.
  • the quick-release mechanism by means of the lever allows easy, manual disassembly and re-assembly.
  • the lock nut By mounting in the use position, ie in the closed position of the lever, the lock nut can be tightened with a known torque, whereby jamming of the jaws with the pole is always ensured with the same force.
  • a screwing process with a tool is possible, wherein a torque monitoring can be set up during the screwing process. Dismantling is possible without tools.
