Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement with a contact element and an electrical conductor according to claim 1 and a method for producing such an arrangement.
  • Such a contact element comprises a contact body which extends in the form of a band and is bent such that the contact body forms an opening into which a plug connector part can be inserted in a plug-in direction.
  • the contact body here has a surface which extends around the opening and forms an inner wall of the opening.
  • a contact lamella is arranged in the opening of the contact body in such a way that the contact lamella lies against the surface. This contact lamella is used for electrical contact with a connector part inserted into the opening of the contact body.
  • Such contact elements can in particular be designed to provide an electrical contact with a high current carrying capacity.
  • the contact body is solid, for example made of copper, the thickness of the bent contact body being selected depending on the desired current carrying capacity.
  • the (elastic, resilient) contact lamella when an assigned connector part is inserted, ensures favorable electrical contacting under elastic contact pressure on the connector part.
  • contact elements are designed as solid contact sleeves, usually manufactured as turned parts.
  • an electrical conductor is generally connected to an end of the contact sleeve facing away from an insertion opening and thus axially behind the plug-in area into which the plug connector part is to be inserted. This requires a comparatively large axial installation space of such contact sleeves.
  • contact sleeves can be expensive to manufacture, in particular for providing electrical contacts with a high current carrying capacity.
  • (galvanic) surface finishing can be difficult.
  • contact elements are also used today that are produced as stamped parts and bent to provide the contact element.
  • one of the DE 10 2011 105 821 A1 Known contact element bent into a sleeve and closed circumferentially via a tab engagement.
  • a connecting tongue for connecting an electrical conductor connects axially to the sleeve-shaped contact element.
  • a contact body in the form of a stamped part is bent and closed circumferentially by a tab engagement.
  • Such contact elements manufactured by stamped parts are comparatively complex to produce and require complex connection of ends of the contact body via a suitable, form-fitting tab engagement.
  • Such contact elements may not be able to be produced economically without difficulty.
  • US5078622 , US5474479 , DE2632851 disclose a contact element which has a bent contact body, in the opening of which a contact lamella is arranged.
  • US5078622 has a tab section projecting axially from the cylinder section for connecting the electrical conductor to the contact body.
  • US4082412 discloses a contact element which has a bent contact body, the contact body having a cylinder section having the opening and a tab section projecting tangentially from the cylinder section for connecting the electrical conductor to the contact body.
  • US5078622 discloses a contact arrangement with a contact element and an electrical conductor according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing an arrangement of a contact element with an electrical conductor according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement with a contact element and an electrical conductor and a method for producing an arrangement of a contact element with an electrical conductor which is simple, inexpensive Enable production, even when designed for a high current carrying capacity.
  • the band-shaped contact body has a positive locking device with at least one positive locking element formed on the surface of the contact body.
  • the contact lamella engages with this form-fitting device in a form-fitting manner and is thereby fixed to the contact body along the plug-in direction.
  • the present invention is based on the idea of introducing a form-fit device for (axially) fixing the contact lamella on the contact body into the surface of the contact body.
  • the surface surrounds the opening and forms the inner wall of the opening.
  • the contact lamella lies against this surface when it is inserted into the opening of the contact body.
  • the form-fitting device is molded into the surface of the contact body makes it possible to produce this form-fitting device before the contact body is bent, which can be done in a particularly simple manner, for example by an embossing or tensioning process.
  • the contact lamella can then be inserted into the opening formed by the contact body and thereby comes into positive engagement with the form-locking device, so that the contact lamella is thereby axially fixed to the contact body along the plug-in direction.
  • the contact body has a cylinder section which has the opening and a tab section projecting tangentially from the cylinder section for connecting an electrical conductor to the contact body, the link being connectable to the contact element in different orientations and in different directions from the contact element via the tab section can be guided away, with a connecting piece of a line core of the conductor being attached flat to the tab section and connected to the tab section by means of welding or soldering for connection to the tab section.
  • the cylinder section extends circumferentially around the insertion direction and forms the opening in the manner of a cylinder ring, which is circumferentially (largely) closed.
  • the tab section protrudes tangentially from this cylinder section, that is to say tangentially to the circumferential direction around the insertion direction.
  • the tab section thus protrudes laterally from the cylinder section and enables an electrical conductor to be connected to the contact element. Because the tab section projects tangentially and thus laterally from the cylinder section, an electrical conductor can be connected to the contact element via the tab section next to the cylinder section. This can result in a contact element with a comparatively small axial installation space.
  • the positive locking device can be inserted into the surface molded recess, which thus forms a positive locking element.
  • the contact lamella lies in this recess when it is arranged in the opening of the contact body.
  • the depression is preferably delimited axially along the plugging direction on both sides by webs which extend circumferentially along a circumferential direction around the plugging direction on the contact body.
  • the webs are offset from one another along the plugging direction and, when the contact lamella is inserted into the opening of the contact body, take up the contact lamella between them.
  • edges are preferably formed, on which the contact lamella bears in a form-fitting manner when it is arranged in the opening of the contact body.
  • a sharp-edged transition between the depression and the webs adjoining on both sides creates a favorable receptacle for the contact lamella, by means of which the contact lamella is fixed to the contact body along the direction of insertion.
  • the positive locking device can also be formed by a plurality of impressions molded into the surface of the contact body, which thus form positive locking elements of the positive locking device. With these impressions, the contact lamella engages positively, for example, over ends of lamella sections, so that the contact lamella is positively attached to the contact body.
  • the embossments are preferably offset from one another along a circumferential direction around the plug-in direction, so that a form-fitting hold of the contact lamella on the contact body is created around the opening.
  • a number of impressions extending parallel to one another can be provided.
  • a first row of impressions can have first impressions lined up along the circumferential direction, while a second row of impressions comprises second impressions lined up along the circumferential direction.
  • the first row of impressions and the second row of impressions are preferably offset from one another along the direction of insertion and thus arranged parallel to one another.
  • the first row of impressions and the second row of impressions can advantageously each have exactly the same number of impressions.
  • a first impression of the first row is thus associated with a second impression of the second row, which is offset from the first impression along the direction of insertion.
  • the embossments preferably each have a (sharp) edge on which, for example, one end of a lamella section of the contact lamella has a positive fit abuts and is held in a positive manner along the plug-in direction on the contact body.
  • the embossments can have a wedge-shaped shape in cross-section (in a cross-sectional plane that is defined by the plug-in direction and the surface normal of the surface of the contact body), so that each embossment in the manner of a sawtooth in one direction forms an edge for a positive fit, in the opposite direction, however, rises diagonally and does not form an edge.
  • the at least one interlocking element of the interlocking device can also be formed by at least one groove formed in the surface of the contact body. This groove extends along a circumferential direction pointing around the insertion direction on the surface. When the contact lamella is introduced into the opening of the contact body, it engages with the groove in a form-fitting manner, so that the contact lamella is held on the contact body along the direction of insertion.
  • a first groove extending along the circumferential direction and a second groove extending along the circumferential direction can be offset from one another along the plug-in direction, so that the contact lamella is held on the grooves in a form-fitting manner on both sides.
  • the grooves can in turn each form, for example, an edge on which the contact lamella bears in a form-fitting manner.
  • the grooves can form a wedge shape analogously to that described above for the embossments, so that a positive connection is provided only in one direction.
  • the contact body can, for example, be made from a bent copper strip. In an initial state, this copper strip extends in a straight line along a longitudinal axis. To produce the contact body, the copper strip is bent so that the opening for receiving the contact lamella is formed.
  • the thickness of the copper strip is selected depending on the desired current carrying capacity.
  • a copper strip with a comparatively large thickness for example several millimeters, is selected.
  • the copper strip can also be galvanically coated.
  • the contact body has a cylinder section having the opening and a tab section projecting tangentially from the cylinder section for connecting an electrical conductor to the contact body.
  • the cylinder section extends circumferentially around the insertion direction and forms the opening in the manner of a cylinder ring, which is circumferentially (largely) closed.
  • the tab section protrudes tangentially from this cylinder section, that is to say tangentially to the circumferential direction around the insertion direction.
  • the tab section thus protrudes laterally from the cylinder section and enables an electrical conductor to be connected to the contact element. Because the tab section projects tangentially and thus laterally from the cylinder section, an electrical conductor can be connected to the contact element via the tab section next to the cylinder section. This can result in a contact element with a comparatively small axial installation space.
  • the contact body is bent at one end in a bending direction around the plug direction towards the surface, so that the end of the surface is approximated. This bending forms the opening in which the contact lamella can then be arranged.
  • the contact body can in this case have a flattened portion for flat contact with the surface at the end approximated to the surface. This flattening makes it possible to bring the end into an advantageous contact with the surface of the contact body, so that an approximately circular cross section is created in the contact body. Such flattening can be particularly advantageous if a band-shaped element with a comparatively large thickness is used to provide the contact body.
  • the end of the contact body can advantageously be integrally connected to the surface, in order in this way to close the annular cylinder section circumferentially to increase the mechanical strength. This can be done, for example, by means of welding, in particular laser welding.
