Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Potentialverteilungssystem für Kraftfahrzeuge mit dem die etablierten Kabelbäume verschlankt werden können.The invention relates to a potential distribution system for motor vehicles with which the established cable harnesses can be slimmed down.

Die Hochstromverteilung in Fahrzeugen erfolgt in der Regel über flexible oder hochflexible Rundleiter, die in Bündeln zusammengeschlossen werden. Diese Art Kabelbäume sind biegeschlaff und benötigen daher oft einen zusätzlichen formstabilen Kabelkanal. Die Kontaktierung der Kabelbäume kann nur an fest vorgesehenen Ausleitungen aus dem Kabelbaum und aus dem eventuell vorhandenen Kabelkanal vorgenommen werden. Zwischenabgriffe sind in der Regel nicht oder doch nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand möglich, da sie konstruktionsmäßig nicht vorgesehen und nicht gewollt sind.The high-current distribution in vehicles usually takes place via flexible or highly flexible round conductors that are connected in bundles. These types of cable harnesses are limp and therefore often require an additional, dimensionally stable cable duct. The wiring harnesses can only be contacted at the fixed exits from the wiring harness and from the cable duct that may be present. Intermediate taps are usually not possible or only possible with a great deal of effort, since they are not provided for in the design and are not wanted.

In einzelnen Fällen werden auch vorgeformte, starre Elemente zur Versteifung des Kabelbaumes eingesetzt. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist aus der Siemens Patentschrift DE 3609704 C2 bekannt. Die Versteifung wird hier durch zusätzliche Formelemente aus Kunststoff erreicht, auf die der Kabelbaum aufgebunden wird. Die Kontaktierung der einzelnen Leitungen des Kabelbaumes erfolgt an speziell vorgesehenen Ausleitungen oder an konstruktiv vorgesehenen Steckverbindungen.In individual cases, preformed, rigid elements are also used to reinforce the cable harness. An example of this is from the Siemens patent specification DE 3609704 C2 known. The stiffening is achieved here by means of additional molded plastic elements onto which the wiring harness is tied. The individual lines of the wiring harness are contacted at specially provided exits or at plug connections provided by the design.

Bei Halogenbeleuchtungen für die Raumausleuchtung von Zimmern in Gebäuden sind ebenfalls Potentialverteilungssysteme für 12 Volt Gleichspannung bekannt. Um den sehr unterschiedlichen Raumaufteilungen in Gebäuden gerecht zu werden, hat man hier bereits flexibel konfektionierbare Verteilungssysteme vorgeschlagen. Ein Beispiel für ein derartiges Potentialverteilungssystem ist aus der DE 10017484 C2 bekannt. Hier erfolgt die Potentialverteilung mit einem Schienenstecksystem. Die Leiterbahnstruktur befindet sich hierbei auf einem Kunststoffträger der einzelnen Schienensegmente. Die Schienensegmente untereinander werden mit Verbindungselementen zu dem gewünschten Gesamtlayout des Potentialverteilungssystems verbunden. Der Anschluss der Halogenleuchten soll über Steckverbinder erfolgen, die vergleichbar den Verbindungselementen auf die Enden der Schienensegmente aufgesteckt werden.Potential distribution systems for 12 volt DC voltage are also known for halogen lighting for the room illumination of rooms in buildings. In order to do justice to the very different room layouts in buildings, distribution systems that can be flexibly assembled have already been proposed. An example of such a potential distribution system is from DE10017484C2 known. Here the potential is distributed with a rail connector system. The conductor track structure is located on a plastic carrier of the individual rail segments. The rail segments are connected to each other with connecting elements desired overall layout of the potential distribution system. The halogen lamps are to be connected using plug connectors, which are plugged onto the ends of the rail segments in a similar way to the connection elements.

Auch bekannt ist die Verwendung von Anschlussboxen bzw. von Verteilerdosen für Stromschienen. In der EP 0722200 B1 wird beispielsweise vorgeschlagen an einem Schienensystem Ansteckmöglichkeiten für die Abzweigung von Kabelbäumen vorzusehen. Das Gehäuse des Schienensystems und die Ansteckmöglichkeiten sind hierbei aus einem Kunstharz gefertigt, so dass die Ansteckmöglichkeit mit dem Kunststoffgehäuse des Schienensystems zusammen gegossen werden kann. Auch vorbekannt sind nach der EP 0722200 B1 Verteilerdosen aus einem Kunststoffgehäuse, wobei die Verteilerdose gleichzeitig als Sicherungsdose ausgebildet ist.Also known is the use of junction boxes or junction boxes for busbars. In the EP 0722200 B1 it is proposed, for example, to provide attachment options for branching off cable harnesses on a rail system. The housing of the rail system and the attachment options are made of a synthetic resin, so that the attachment option can be cast together with the plastic housing of the rail system. Also known after the EP 0722200 B1 Junction boxes made of a plastic housing, the junction box being designed as a fuse box at the same time.

In Kraftfahrzeugbordnetzen blieben bisher Schienensysteme als Ersatz für den Kabelbaum wenig bekannt.Up until now, rail systems have remained little known as a replacement for the wiring harness in motor vehicle on-board networks.

Dies dürfte vor allen Dingen an den höheren Kosten von Schienensystemen liegen. Aber auch technisch bieten die bekannten Schienensysteme zu wenig Vorteile für den Einsatz in Kraftfahrzeugbordnetzen. Hauptnachteil ist die noch als unzureichend empfundene, mangelnde Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Ableitungsmöglichkeiten. Insbesondere die Absicherung der Ableitungen lässt bei den bekannten Schienensystemen oftmals keine Flexibilität zu. Gerade dies ist aber für die Nachrüstbarkeit mit zusätzlichen Verbrauchern oder für die Handhabung der verschiedenen Ausrüstungsvarianten der Kraftfahrzeuge für die Bordnetze in diesen Kraftfahrzeugen wünschenswert.This is probably primarily due to the higher costs of rail systems. However, the known rail systems also offer too few technical advantages for use in motor vehicle on-board networks. The main disadvantage is the lack of flexibility with regard to the derivation options, which is still perceived as insufficient. In particular, the protection of the derivatives often does not allow any flexibility with the known busbar systems. However, this is precisely what is desirable for retrofitting with additional consumers or for handling the various equipment variants of motor vehicles for the on-board networks in these motor vehicles.

Die Patentanmeldung US4034271 A offenbart ein Potentialverteilungssystem mit Stromschiene für Kraftfahrzeuge. Die Patentanmeldung US4794269 A offenbart ein Potentialverteilungssystem für Kraftfahrzeuge entsprechend des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1.The patent application US4034271A discloses a power rail potential distribution system for motor vehicles. The patent application US4794269A discloses a potential distribution system for motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe ist es daher, ein Schienensystem vorzuschlagen, das speziell für die Potentialverteilung in Kraftfahrzeugen geeignet ist.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a rail system that is especially suitable for potential distribution in motor vehicles.

Die Lösung gelingt mit einem Potentialverteilungssystem nach Anspruch 1. Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele sind in den Unteransprüchen und in der folgenden Beschreibung offenbart.The solution is achieved with a potential distribution system according to claim 1. Further exemplary embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims and in the following description.

Die Lösung gelingt hauptsächlich mit einem Schienensystem, das auf Vorrat an den Stromschienen einen zahlenmäßigen Überschuss an Anschlussmöglichkeiten für weitere Ableitungen vorsieht. Die nicht benötigten Anschlussmöglichkeiten können mit einem Blindstopfen abgeschlossen werden und die benötigten Anschlussmöglichkeiten werden über ein Zwischenelement kontaktiert, wobei das Zwischenelement als Zwischenstecker mit integrierten Sicherungen ausgebildet ist.The solution is mainly achieved with a rail system that provides a numerical surplus of connection options for further down conductors on the busbars. The connection options that are not required can be terminated with a dummy plug and the required connection options are contacted via an intermediate element, the intermediate element being designed as an intermediate plug with integrated fuses.

Das Schienensystem kann auch als Doppelschienensystem ausgebildet sein. Eine Schiene kann dann als Masserückführung geschaltet sein. Das Schienensystem ist dann besonders für den Nutzfahrzeugbereich geeignet, in dem Bordnetze mit Masserückführung eingesetzt werden.The rail system can also be designed as a double rail system. A rail can then be connected as a ground return. The rail system is then particularly suitable for the commercial vehicle sector, in which vehicle electrical systems with ground feedback are used.

Ausführungsbeispiele werden im Folgenden anhand von Figuren näher erläutert.Exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to figures.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein nicht zur Erfindung gehöriges, illustratives Beispiel eines Potentialverteilungssystems. bei dem ein Zwischenelement 1 als Sicherungsbox ausgebildet ist und wobei das Zwischenelement über eine Schraubverbindung 3 mit der Stromschiene 2 kontaktiert wird. Die Schraubverbindung 3 wird vorzugsweise dann eingesetzt, wenn die Stromschiene 2 am Fahrzeugunterboden eines Kraftfahrzeugs verläuft und eine Durchkontaktierung durch den Unterboden erfolgt. Dies kann am Ende der Schiene 2 aber auch entlang des Verlaufs der Fall sein. Der Schraubanschluss 3 wird stoffschlüssig mit der Schiene 2 verbunden, z.B. durch Einschweißen eines Gewindebolzens in die Stromschiene 2. Das Zwischenelement enthält ein metallisches Stanzgitter 4, das in ein Gehäuse 5 eingefasst ist. Das Stanzgitter 4 ist mit mehreren elektrischen Stromabzweigen 6 ausgebildet. In die einzelnen Stromabzweige 6 kann bei Bedarf auch gleichzeitig ein Sicherungselement 7, vorzugsweise als Querschnittsverjüngung im Stromabzweig 6 des Stanzgitters 4 enthalten sein. 1 shows an illustrative example of a potential distribution system not belonging to the invention. in which an intermediate element 1 is designed as a fuse box and in which the intermediate element is contacted with the busbar 2 via a screw connection 3 . The screw connection 3 is preferably used when the busbar 2 on Vehicle underbody of a motor vehicle runs and a through-connection takes place through the underbody. This can be the case at the end of the rail 2 but also along the course. The screw connection 3 is materially connected to the busbar 2 , for example by welding a threaded bolt into the busbar 2 . The stamped grid 4 is designed with a plurality of electrical current feeders 6 . If required, a safety element 7 can also be contained in the individual current branches 6 at the same time, preferably as a narrowing of the cross section in the current branch 6 of the stamped grid 4 .

Fig. 2 zeigt ein anderes nicht zur Erfindung gehöriges, illustratives Beispiel bei dem die Kontaktierung des Zwischenelementes 1 mittels einer Steckverbindung an der Stromschiene 2 erfolgt. Auf der Schiene 2 werden, je nach zu erwartender Strombelastung, ein oder mehrere Kontaktlaschen stoffschlüssig, z.B. durch Schweißen, Clinchen, Löten, etc., angebracht. Die Abgangsrichtung dieser Kontakte ist vorzugsweise um 90° gegenüber der Laufrichtung der Schiene 2 gedreht. Diese Kontaktlaschen werden vorzugsweise bereits beim Herstellungsprozess des Potentialverteilungssystems im Folgenden mit einer Moldmasse aus Kunststoff umspritzt. Dies dient einerseits zur Isolation und zum Schutz der Kontaktlaschen, andererseits kann die Umspritzung, wie im Zusammenhang mit den nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispielen von Bedeutung auch als Steckergehäuse genutzt werden. Die Kontaktlasche kann dabei im Abgang ein oder mehrteilig sein. Bei mehrteiligen Abgängen ist das Schutzgehäuse 5 vorteilhafterweise in mehrere Kammern aufgeteilt. Werden abhängig von den Ausstattungsvarianten nicht alle Kontakte genutzt, können die ungenutzten Kammern oder Kontakte mit einem Blindstopfen verschlossen werden. 2 shows another illustrative example not belonging to the invention, in which the contacting of the intermediate element 1 takes place by means of a plug connection on the busbar 2. Depending on the current load to be expected, one or more contact lugs are attached to the rail 2 in a materially bonded manner, for example by welding, clinching, soldering, etc. The outgoing direction of these contacts is preferably rotated through 90° with respect to the running direction of the rail 2 . These contact lugs are preferably already encapsulated with a molding compound made of plastic during the manufacturing process of the potential distribution system. On the one hand, this serves to insulate and protect the contact lugs, and on the other hand, the encapsulation can also be used as a connector housing, as is important in connection with the following exemplary embodiments. The contact tab can be one or more parts in the outlet. In the case of multi-part outlets, the protective housing 5 is advantageously divided into several chambers. If, depending on the equipment variant, not all contacts are used, the unused chambers or contacts can be sealed with a blind plug.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem das Zwischenelement als Zwischenstecker 1a ausgebildet ist. Der Zwischenstecker 1a enthält dann auch die Sicherungsbox. Hierbei kann die Box aus einzelnen Sicherungselementen 7 bestehen. Es können auch mehrere Stromabzweige und damit auch mehrere Stromabzweige in den Zwischenstecker 1a integriert sein. Es ist auch möglich mehrere einzelne Zwischenstecker über ihre Gehäuse miteinander zu verbinden. Diese einzelnen Zwischenstecker 1a können dann, wie in der Teildarstellung der Fig. 3a dargestellt, durch Clips- oder Steckvorrichtung, die als passende Steckelemente 8a und Aussparungen 8b in die Zwischensteckergehäuse an- bzw. eingebracht sind, miteinander verbunden werden. Hierdurch ist es auch möglich, Nachrüstungen, durch Entfernen der Blindstopfen an den unbenutzten schienenseitigen Steckelementen für die Zwischenstecker 1a und Einsetzen von weiteren Zwischensteckern, vorzunehmen oder Varianten abzudecken. 3 shows an embodiment in which the intermediate element is designed as an intermediate plug 1a. The adapter plug 1a then also contains the fuse box. In this case, the box can consist of individual security elements 7 . It is also possible to integrate a number of current feeders and thus also a number of current feeders into the intermediate plug 1a. It is also possible to have several individual adapter plugs via their housing to connect with each other. This individual adapter 1a can then, as shown in the partial representation of Figure 3a shown, are connected to one another by clips or plug-in devices which are attached or introduced into the intermediate plug housing as matching plug-in elements 8a and recesses 8b. This also makes it possible to retrofit by removing the blind plugs on the unused rail-side plug-in elements for the intermediate plug 1a and inserting further intermediate plugs, or to cover variants.

Der Leitungssatz für die anzuschließenden Verbraucher wird dann einfach ausgangsseitig an einer Kontaktlasche 9 des Zwischensteckers 1a montiert. Die Kontaktierung des Zwischensteckers 1a mit der Stromschiene 2 erfolgt ebenfalls über eine steckbare Kontaktlasche 10. Das Gehäuse der schienenseitigen Kontaktlasche 10 und das Gehäuse des Zwischensteckers 1a greifen passgenau ineinander und sind zusätzlich mit einer Rastfunktion ausgebildet, die ein sicheres mechanisches Bestehen der Steckverbindung unterstützt.The wiring harness for the consumers to be connected is then simply mounted on the output side on a contact lug 9 of the adapter plug 1a. The adapter plug 1a is also contacted with the busbar 2 via a pluggable contact lug 10. The housing of the rail-side contact lug 10 and the housing of the adapter plug 1a fit together with a perfect fit and are also designed with a latching function that supports a secure mechanical existence of the plug connection.

Der Zwischenstecker 1a mit den integrierten Sicherungen kann natürlich auch einteilig mit mehreren, parallelen Stromabzweigen, z.B. als Stanzgitterlosung, ausgeführt werden.The adapter plug 1a with the integrated fuses can, of course, also be made in one piece with several parallel current branches, e.g. as a stamped grid solution.

Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel des Potentialverteilungssystems ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Hier ist das Potentialverteilungssystem als Doppelschienensystem ausgebildet. In diesem Fall werden zwei Schienen 2a, 2b mit einem Zwischenelement, das in Fig. 4 als Zwischenstecker 1a ausgebildet ist, gleichzeitig kontaktiert. Die beiden zu kontaktierenden Stromschienen 2a, 2b können hierbei vorzugsweise in ein Gehäuse 5 integriert sein. Hierzu werden die von den Stromschienen 2a, 2b abgehenden Kontaktlaschen 10 auf verschiedenen Seiten der Schienen 2a, 2b, einmal oben auf der Schiene 2a und einmal unten an der weiteren Schiene 2b, angebracht. Die Potentiale dieser Schienen 2a, 2b können zum Bsp. mit der genormten Klemmen 30, also Eingang von Batterieplus, und mit dem Potential der Klemme 15, also Ausgang nach Zünd- bzw. Fahrtschalter, oder mit der geschalteten Klemme 30 verbunden sein. In diesem Fall werden ober- wie unterseitig Sicherungen eingesetzt.Another embodiment of the potential distribution system is in 4 shown. Here the potential distribution system is designed as a double rail system. In this case, two rails 2a, 2b are connected with an intermediate element, which is 4 is designed as an adapter 1a, contacted at the same time. The two busbars 2a, 2b to be contacted can preferably be integrated into a housing 5. For this purpose, the outgoing from the busbars 2a, 2b contact lugs 10 are attached to different sides of the rails 2a, 2b, once at the top of the rail 2a and once at the bottom of the other rail 2b. The potentials of these rails 2a, 2b can be measured, for example, with the standardized terminals 30, i.e. input from battery plus, and with the potential of terminal 15, i.e. output after ignition or Travel switch, or be connected to the switched terminal 30. In this case, fuses are used on the top and bottom.

Alternativ kann die Potentialverteilung auf die beiden Stromschienen 2a, 2b auch derart gewählt werden, dass eine Stromschiene auf dem Potential der Klemme 30 liegt, während die andere Stromschiene auf dem Potential der Klemme 31, also Rückleitung zur Batterie oder Minus bzw. Masse zur Batterie, liegt. Eine solche Masserückführung wird beispielsweise in Bordnetzen von Nutzfahrzeugen eingesetzt. Hierbei wäre es ausreichend, wenn an der Verbindung zur Stromschiene mit dem Potential der Klemme 30 eine Sicherung integriert wäre, eine zweite Absicherung im Massestrompfad kann entfallen.Alternatively, the potential distribution on the two busbars 2a, 2b can also be selected in such a way that one busbar is at the potential of terminal 30, while the other busbar is at the potential of terminal 31, i.e. return line to the battery or negative or ground to the battery. lies. Such a ground return is used, for example, in on-board networks of commercial vehicles. In this case, it would be sufficient if a fuse were integrated at the connection to the busbar with the potential of terminal 30; a second fuse in the ground current path can be omitted.

Will man bei einer Mehrschienenanordnung die Stromschienen 2a, 2b nicht als Doppelschienensystem zusammenfassen, kann man natürlich auch zwei Einzelschienen mit jeweils getrennten Gehäusen nebeneinander verlegen. Dieser Sachverhalt ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden nebeneinander zu verlegenden Stromschienengehäuse aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass zum Beispiel das Gehäuse der einen Stromschiene das Gehäuse der anderen Stromschiene in der Höhe überragt, derart dass die überstehende Höhe ausreicht, um eine Kontaktierung der Stromschiene mit einem Zwischenstecker im Bereich der überstehenden Höhe durchzuführen. Das ist insbesondere dann der Fall wenn diese überstehende Höhe grösser als die Höhe der Zwischenstecker ist.If you do not want to combine the busbars 2a, 2b in a multi-bar arrangement as a double-bar system, you can of course also lay two individual bars, each with separate housings, next to one another. This situation is in figure 5 shown. The two busbar housings to be laid next to each other are preferably coordinated with one another, so that, for example, the housing of one busbar protrudes above the housing of the other busbar in height, such that the protruding height is sufficient to allow the busbar to be contacted with an adapter plug in the area of the protruding height to perform. This is particularly the case when this protruding height is greater than the height of the intermediate plug.

Weiterhin können auch zwei oder mehrere Schienen in einer Ebene eingesetzt werden, wodurch dann auch mehrere Potentiale verteilt werden können. Hierbei können die Anschlusslaschen entweder seitlich versetzt angeordnet sein oder übereinander.Furthermore, two or more rails can also be used in one level, which means that several potentials can then also be distributed. The connecting lugs can either be offset laterally or one above the other.
