Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection device for flexible flat conductors according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US5967823 discloses a connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has the object to solve this problem and to provide a connection device with which a good contact between flexible flat conductors and busbars can be produced.
  • connection device of claim 1 The invention solves this problem by the connection device of claim 1.
  • the contact screw penetrates and penetrates the flat conductor like a piercing screw. In addition, it also pushes the elements busbar and flexible flat conductor together and ensures such a facility between these elements that a particularly good electrical contact is ensured.
  • the term busbar is not too narrow. On the one hand, it comprises conductive rails, but also conductors of another type, against which the conductor to be contacted is pressed. It is advantageous also the terminal housing for receiving the busbar, the flat conductor and the contact screw, which serves to hold the contact screw and lead and preferably also forms a system for the busbar and the flat conductor.
  • the flat conductor rests on the busbar and that the contact screw when contacting first penetrates the flat conductor and then the busbar. Since the flat conductor consists of flexible material, the variant is advantageous in that the flat conductor is pressed firmly against the busbar and u.U. even pressed into the region of a through hole of the bus bar, which ensures a particularly good contact.
  • connection housing can also serve for receiving and connecting several of the busbars, the flat conductor and the contact screws.
  • all claims relate to one or more of the busbars, flat conductors and contact screws.
  • connection housing has a base for supporting the at least one bus bar and the at least one flat conductor, as further preferably has a cover strip which can be fixed to the base in order to receive the metal parts of the connection device.
  • the base has a mounting surface for mounting on a substrate such as a surface of a solar collector and that the contact screw is aligned in the mounted position of the base perpendicular to the mounting surface.
  • the contact screw in the assembled position of the base it is also conceivable, in particular, for the contact screw in the assembled position of the base to be aligned at an acute angle with the mounting surface on a base.
  • the contact screw has a shaping or separating designed penetration tip, which is designed such that at least the material of the flat conductor with its dividing or reshaping is permeable with her.
  • the invention also provides a connection unit for a solar panel, which has at least one connection device according to one of the claims related to the device. Especially on solar panels, the contacting of free flat conductor ends is often a special technical challenge.
  • Fig. 1 shows a connection device having a base 1, which preferably consists of insulating plastic and is designed to be placed on a in Fig. 2 shown assembly surface S, for example, a solar panel or on a circuit board or the like. To be mounted. It is conceivable, for example, to fix the base 1 adhesively to the solar collector.
  • the base 1 has at least one or more here in the base 1 introduced recesses 2 formed support areas 3, which after Fig. 1 each serve to rest a sectionally planar busbar 4, which in turn has a contact surface 5 for supporting a flat conductor 7 and at the end facing away from the contact surface here via a bend 6, a terminal contact 8 is formed.
  • the terminal contact 8 is formed by way of example by a type of flat or blade contact, which can be contacted, for example, by means of a spring-loaded contact bush, not shown here.
  • a cover strip 9 is placed, which is preferably immovably fixed to the base 1, which can be realized for example by corresponding locking means between these two elements (not shown here).
  • the cover strip 9 preferably has projections 2 corresponding to the recesses 2, which engage in the recesses 2 in the mounted position. As a result, a positive connection between the base 1 and the cover strip 9 is realized.
  • the base 1 and the cover strip 9 have aligned holes 10, 11 in the mounted state.
  • the holes 10 in the cover strip 9 are each penetrated by a contact screw 12.
  • the bores 10 may be formed in such a stepped manner that in a region facing away from the base a larger diameter portion for receiving the screw head 13 and a smaller diameter relative to the larger diameter for receiving the screw shaft 14, thereby also a support surface 18 for the screw head is trained.
  • connection housing which serves to receive the flat conductor 7, the busbar 4 and the contact screw 12 and which is adapted to absorb the forces occurring during the contact, for which it is mounted on a base ,
  • the cover strip 9 is possibly completely or slightly detached from the base 1 and then the end of the flat conductor 7 to be contacted or become the ends of the flat conductor 7 and 7 to be contacted the busbars 4 initially placed directly above each other.
  • the contact screws 12 have a shaping or separating designed, a material separating penetrating penetrating tip 15 which is designed such that at least the material of the flat conductor is permeable with it.
  • the busbars 4 can either also be formed by the contact screws or they have a kind of hole or pilot hole 16, which is penetrated by screwing each of these when screwing in the contact screws 12 and / or is widening forming this thread.
  • This contact is particularly good in that the contact screw 12 when cutting or cutting an opening in the flat conductor, the material of the flat conductor 7 and the busbar 4 each presses each other such that just in the region of the holes or adjacent to the area of the holes, which passes through the contact screw, a particularly good electrical contact between the elements "busbar" on the one hand and "flat conductor” on the other.
  • contact screw 12 consists of an electrically highly conductive material, in particular a light metal, preferably a copper alloy, so that it takes on an electrically conducting function itself.
  • the contact screw 12 has a forming thread or cutting thread at least in the region of the penetration tip 15.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 is the embodiment of Fig. 3 and 4 , which differ from the design of the Fig. 1 and 2 differs in that first the flat conductor 7 are placed on the base and then the busbars 4 on the flat conductor 7.
  • the busbars 4 have a slightly different shape than in Fig. 1 on.
  • the function corresponds to the function of the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 ,
  • the contact screw 12 does not penetrate when making the electrical contact as in Fig. 1 and 2 First, the flat conductor 7 and then the busbar 7 but first the busbar 4 and then the Flachleiter7.
  • the support surface 3 is in each case designed parallel to a lower mounting surface of the base 1.
  • the support surface 3 is aligned at an acute angle of preferably 30 ° - 60 ° to the mounting surface of the base 1, which may possibly facilitate the work of the fitter when the screws 12 are more accessible than after the execution of the Fig. 1 to 4 ,
  • the flat conductors 7 are again above the busbars 4, so that when contacting first the flat conductor 7 and then the busbars 4 are contacted.
  • the busbars 4 are in each case again via the flat conductors 7, so that when contacting first the busbars 4 and then the flat conductor 7 are contacted.
  • the flat conductor 7 and the busbars 3 are formed flat and if the contact screw are aligned perpendicular to the surface of the busbar 4 and the flat conductor 7 during the contacting.
  • the busbar 4 and the flat conductor 7 are not the same thickness. It is particularly advantageous if the bills 4 are made of a thicker material than the preferably flexible flat conductor 7 and / or if the flat conductor 7 is arranged above the busbar 7, since such a particularly advantageous contacting occurs, since the material of the flat conductor is so special strongly pressed into the busbar.
  • busbar 4 and flat conductor 7 consist of the same or similar metal alloys.
