Description

Vorrichtung zur Verbindung von Hochvolt-Leitern  Device for connecting high-voltage conductors
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Verbindung von Hochvolt-Leitern ge- mäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. The invention relates to a device for connecting high-voltage conductors according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Eine Vorrichtung zur Verbindung von Hochvolt-Leitern mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs ist aus US 5 114 357 A bekannt. Die bekannte Vorrichtung weist ein abgewinkeltes Gehäuse aus. In die unter einem rechten Winkel angeordneten Teile des Gehäuses werden die beiden zu verbindenden Leiter eingeführt. Durch eine verschließbare Öffnung am Gehäuse ist ein Werkzeug zur Herstellung einer Schraubverbindung zwischen den beiden zu verbindenden Leitern einführbar. Die Öffnung wird nach dem Verbinden der Leiter und Entfernen des Werkzeugs mit- tels eines Gehäusedeckels verschlossen. A device for connecting high-voltage conductors with the features of the preamble is known from US Pat. No. 5,114,357. The known device has an angled housing. The two conductors to be connected are inserted into the parts of the housing arranged at a right angle. A tool for producing a screw connection between the two conductors to be connected can be inserted through a closable opening on the housing. After connecting the conductors and removing the tool, the opening is closed by means of a housing cover.
Bei einer Verbindung eines im Inneren einer Hochvolt-Box - beispielsweise einer sogenannten Power Distribution Unit (PDU) - angeordneten ersten Leiters mit einem außerhalb der Hochvolt-Box angeordneten zweiten Leiter steht der Her- steiler der Hochvolt-Box vor dem Problem, dass er die Dichtigkeit und Funktions- Sicherheit der Hochvolt-Box garantieren soll, dass diese aber beim Kunden zur Herstellung der Leitungsverbindung mit dem externen zweiten Leiter erneut ge- öffnet wird, wobei Verschmutzungen oder Undichtigkeiten erzeugt werden. Bei einer externen Verbindung über einen Stecker treten dagegen aufgrund der be- grenzten Kraft montierbarer Federkontakte hohe Übergangswiderstände auf, die zu einer starken Erwärmung und einem Ausfall des Steckers führen können. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine verbesserte Vorrichtung zur Verbindung von Hochvolt-Leitern zu schaffen. When a first conductor arranged in the interior of a high-voltage box - for example a so-called power distribution unit (PDU) - is connected to a second conductor arranged outside the high-voltage box, the manufacturer of the high-voltage box is faced with the problem that he The tightness and functional safety of the high-voltage box should guarantee that the customer opens it again in order to establish the line connection with the external second conductor, thereby causing contamination or leaks. In the case of an external connection via a plug, on the other hand, due to the limited force of mountable spring contacts, high contact resistances occur, which can lead to excessive heating and failure of the plug. The object of the invention is to provide an improved device for connecting high-voltage conductors.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den darauf bezogenen Unteransprüchen angegeben. This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the dependent claims related thereto.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist einen Hochvoltverbinder mit einem ab- gewinkelten Gehäuse auf, dessen erstes Gehäuseteil zur Einführung des ersten Hochvolt-Leiters und dessen zweites Gehäuseteil zur Einführung des zweiten Hochvolt-Leiters dient, wobei an wenigstens einem der Gehäuseteile ein Deckel zum Freigeben oder Verschließen einer Montageöffnung angeordnet ist. Durch die Montageöffnung kann bei geöffnetem Deckel ein Werkzeug zum Verbinden der beiden Hochvoltverbinder in das Innere des Hochvoltverbinders eingeführt werden. Nach erfolgter Herstellung der Leitungsverbindung wird das Werkzeug wieder entfernt und der Deckel dicht verschlossen. The device according to the invention has a high-voltage connector with an angled housing, the first housing part of which is used to insert the first high-voltage conductor and the second housing part of which is used to insert the second high-voltage conductor, with a cover on at least one of the housing parts for releasing or closing one Assembly opening is arranged. With the cover open, a tool for connecting the two high-voltage connectors can be inserted into the interior of the high-voltage connector through the assembly opening. After the line connection has been established, the tool is removed again and the lid is sealed.
Erfindungsgemäß ist der erste Leiter zur Verbindung mit einem elektrischen Bau- teil durch eine Durchtrittsöffnung in einer Wand des elektrischen Bauteils hin- durchführbar und das den ersten Leiter aufnehmende erste Gehäuseteil des Hochvoltverbinders ist mit Mitteln zum Verbinden mit der Wand des elektrischen Bauteils versehen. According to the invention, the first conductor for connection to an electrical component can be passed through a passage opening in a wall of the electrical component, and the first housing part of the high-voltage connector which receives the first conductor is provided with means for connecting to the wall of the electrical component.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit möglich, die Leitungsverbindung zur Verbindung von Hochvolt-Leitern über einen mit dem Gehäuse einer Hochvolt- Box verbindbaren Hochvoltverbinder kompakt und sicher zu gewährleisten. With the present invention, it is thus possible to ensure the line connection for connecting high-voltage conductors in a compact and secure manner via a high-voltage connector that can be connected to the housing of a high-voltage box.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass das erste Gehäuseteil des Hochvoltverbinders eine Buchse aufnimmt, die mit einem Schaft die Durch- trittsöffnung in der Wand des elektrischen Bauteils durchdringt. Der Schaft ist da- bei bevorzugt mit einem Gewinde versehen. Das Gewinde ist entweder in ein Ge- gengewinde in der Wand des elektrischen Bauteils einschraubbar oder mit einer auf der Innenseite der Wand anordenbaren Mutter in Eingriff bringbar. In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the first housing part of the high-voltage connector receives a socket which penetrates the through opening in the wall of the electrical component with a shaft. The shaft is preferably provided with a thread. The thread is either in a thread can be screwed into the wall of the electrical component or brought into engagement with a nut that can be arranged on the inside of the wall.
Die Buchse besteht bevorzugt aus einem isolierenden Werkstoff. Insbesondere ist hierfür ein glasfaserverstärktes Polyamid, wie beispielsweise PA 6.6 GF30 ge- eignet, das neben sehr guten Isoliereigenschaften auch die notwendige mechani- sche Festigkeit zur Herstellung einer sicheren Verbindung zwischen Hochvoltver- binder und der Wand des elektrischen Bauteils aufweist. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der erste Hochvolt-Leiter und der zweite Hochvolt-Leiter mittels eines am Ende eines der beiden Hochvolt-Leiter ausgebildeten Gewindes, das eine Bohrung am anderen Hochvolt-Leiter durchdringt und einer auf das Gewinde aufschraubbaren Mutter im Inneren des Hochvoltverbinders verbindbar sind. The socket preferably consists of an insulating material. A glass fiber-reinforced polyamide, such as PA 6.6 GF30, is particularly suitable for this purpose, as it has very good insulating properties and the mechanical strength necessary to establish a secure connection between the high-voltage connector and the wall of the electrical component. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the first high-voltage conductor and the second high-voltage conductor by means of a thread formed at the end of one of the two high-voltage conductors, which penetrates a hole in the other high-voltage conductor and a nut that can be screwed onto the thread are connectable inside the high-voltage connector.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Buchse mittels eines wenigstens eine Dichtung aufweisenden Dichtrings gegenüber dem sie aufnehmenden ersten Gehäuseteil des Hochvoltverbinders abdichtbar ist. Nachfolgend werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Verriegelungsvorrichtung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen: A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the socket can be sealed with respect to the first housing part of the high-voltage connector that receives it by means of a sealing ring having at least one seal. Exemplary embodiments of the locking device are explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the high-voltage connector shown in FIG. 3, and 5 shows a longitudinal section through the high-voltage connector according to the section line AA in FIG. 4 (with an additional indication of the housing wall of the high-voltage box).
In der Figur 1 ist ein elektrisches Bauteil 10 einer Wand 12 desselben dargestellt. Das elektrische Bauteil 10 wird beispielsweise von einer Power-Distribution-Unit (PDU) gebildet, in der eine über einen Hochvolt-Leiter 20 durch eine Öffnung 14 in der Wand 12 zugeführte Spannung von beispielsweise 400 VDC auf mehrere elektrische Bauteile verteilt und/oder in andere Spannungen umgewandelt wird. 1 shows an electrical component 10 of a wall 12 of the same. The electrical component 10 is formed, for example, by a power distribution unit (PDU) in which a voltage of, for example, 400 VDC, which is supplied via a high-voltage conductor 20 through an opening 14 in the wall 12, is distributed among several electrical components and / or in other voltages is converted.
Der beispielsweise aus einer ummantelten Kupferleitung gebildete erste Hoch- volt-Leiter 20 weist an einem Ende eine Kontaktierung 22 in Form einer Abfla- chung mit einer darin ausgebildeten Bohrung 24 zur Anbindung an einen Kontakt eines elektrischen Bauteils oder einer Verteilerschiene auf. Wie aus Figur 5 er- sichtlich, ist das andere Ende des ersten Hochvolt-Leiters 20 in Form eines zy- lindrischen Kontaktbolzens 26 mit einem daran angeordneten Gewinde 27 aus- gebildet. The first high-voltage conductor 20, which is formed, for example, from a sheathed copper line, has a contact 22 in the form of a flattening with a bore 24 formed therein for connection to a contact of an electrical component or a distribution rail. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the other end of the first high-voltage conductor 20 is designed in the form of a cylindrical contact bolt 26 with a thread 27 arranged thereon.
Der erste Hochvolt-Leiter 20 ist ebenso wie ein zweiter Hochvolt-Leiter 30 in ei- nen Hochvoltverbinder 100 eingeführt, der über ein abgewinkeltes metallisches Gehäuse 110 mit einem ersten Gehäuseteil 111 und einem zweiten Gehäuseteil 112 verfügt. Das insbesondere aus Aluminium-Druckguss bestehende Gehäuse 110 weist eine Montageöffnung 113 auf, die mittels eines metallischen Deckels 115 und einer daran angeordneten Dichtung 116 dicht verschließbar ist. Unter- halb des beispielsweise aus Aluminium gebildeten Deckels 115 ist eine als trich terförmiges Kunststoff-Einlegeteil ausgebildete Mess-Tulpe 114 angeordnet, die die Montageöffnung 113 auch bei geöffnetem Deckel 115 weitestgehend ver- schließt und nur eine kleine zentrale Bohrung aufweist, durch die ein Messstift in Kontakt mit dem Kontaktbolzens 26 gebracht werden kann. The first high-voltage conductor 20, like a second high-voltage conductor 30, is inserted into a high-voltage connector 100, which has an angled metallic housing 110 with a first housing part 111 and a second housing part 112. The housing 110, which is made in particular of die-cast aluminum, has a mounting opening 113 which can be closed tightly by means of a metal cover 115 and a seal 116 arranged thereon. Below the cover 115, which is made of aluminum, for example, there is a measuring tulip 114 designed as a funnel-shaped plastic insert, which largely closes the assembly opening 113 even when the cover 115 is open and has only a small central bore through which a measuring pin can be brought into contact with the contact pin 26.
Der zweite Hochvolt-Leiter 30 wird unter einem rechten Winkel bezüglich des ers- ten Hochvolt-Leiters 20 in das Gehäuseteil 112 eingeführt, dessen freies Ende durch eine mittels eines Gewindes mit dem zweiten Hochvolt-Leiter 30 verbunde- ne metallische Einschraubhülse 118 verlängert wird. Der zweite Hochvolt-Leiter 30 ist - wie Figur 5 zu entnehmen - im äußeren Bereich von einer metallischen Abschirmung 31 umgeben, an die sich nach innen eine nicht dargestellte Isolie rung des im Kern verlaufenden eigentlichen elektrischen Leiters anschließt. In der insbesondere aus Messing oder Bronze bestehenden Einschraubhülse 118 sind zwei scharfkantige Metallfedern 119 nach innen gerichtet angeordnet, die in eine Einkerbung 38 der Abschirmung 31 eingreifen und den Kontakt zwischen der Ab- schirmung 31 und der metallischen Einschraubhülse 118 hersteilen. The second high-voltage conductor 30 is inserted into the housing part 112, the free end thereof, at a right angle with respect to the first high-voltage conductor 20 is extended by a metallic screw-in sleeve 118 connected to the second high-voltage conductor 30 by means of a thread. The second high-voltage conductor 30 - as can be seen in FIG. 5 - is surrounded in the outer area by a metallic shield 31, which is followed by an insulation (not shown) of the actual electrical conductor running in the core. In the screw-in sleeve 118, which consists in particular of brass or bronze, two sharp-edged metal springs 119 are arranged inwardly, which engage in a notch 38 in the shield 31 and establish the contact between the shield 31 and the metallic screw-in sleeve 118.
Das innere Ende des zweiten Hochvolt-Leiters 30 ist nach Art eines Kabelschuhs mit einer Abflachung 32 ausgebildet, in der eine Bohrung 34 vorgesehen ist. Die Bohrung 34 wird vom Kontaktbolzens 26 des ersten Hochvolt-Leiters 20 mit dem daran ausgebildeten Außengewinde 27 durchdrungen und mittels einer auf den Kontaktbolzen 26 aufgeschraubten Mutter 40 fest verbunden. Für das Aufschrau- ben der Mutter 40 wird der Deckel 115 zur Freigabe der Montageöffnung 113 ent- fernt und hierzu bei der Montage im spannungslosen Zustand auch die Mess- Tulpe 114 aus der Montageöffnung 113 entnommen. Nach Herstellung einer fes- ten Schraubverbindung mittels der Mutter 40 unter Verwendung eines durch die Montageöffnung 113 in das Gehäuse 110 eingeführten Steckschlüssels, bei der der erste Hochvolt-Leiter 20 und der zweite Hochvolt-Leiter 30 mechanisch sicher und elektrisch ohne nennenswerte Übergangswiderstände verbunden werden, wird die Mess-Tulpe 114 wieder in die Montageöffnung 113 eingesetzt und an- schließend der Deckel 115 zum Verschließen der Montageöffnung 113 eingesetzt oder eingeschraubt. The inner end of the second high-voltage conductor 30 is designed in the manner of a cable lug with a flat 32 in which a bore 34 is provided. The bore 34 is penetrated by the contact bolt 26 of the first high-voltage conductor 20 with the external thread 27 formed thereon and firmly connected by means of a nut 40 screwed onto the contact bolt 26. For screwing on the nut 40, the cover 115 is removed to open the assembly opening 113 and, for this purpose, the measurement tulip 114 is also removed from the assembly opening 113 when the assembly is in a de-energized state. After establishing a fixed screw connection by means of the nut 40 using a socket wrench inserted into the housing 110 through the assembly opening 113, in which the first high-voltage conductor 20 and the second high-voltage conductor 30 are connected mechanically safely and electrically without any appreciable contact resistance, the measuring tulip 114 is reinserted into the assembly opening 113 and then the cover 115 is inserted or screwed in to close the assembly opening 113.
Die nach innen trichterförmig verengte Mess-Tulpe 114 dient als Schutz. Bei ei- nem Öffnen des Deckels 115 verhindert sie das Berühren des Kontaktbolzens 26 mit den Fingern und erfordert zunächst eine durch ihre kleine Öffnung hindurch erfolgende Spannungsprüfung mittels einer Mess-Spitze eines Messgeräts. Erst wenn dabei ein spannungsloser Betriebszustand festgestellt wird, kann die Mess- Tulpe 114 entfernt und die Montageöffnung 113 dadurch vollständig freigegeben werden. The measurement tulip 114 narrowed in the shape of a funnel serves as protection. When the cover 115 is opened, it prevents the contact pin 26 from touching with the fingers and initially requires a voltage test to be carried out through its small opening by means of a measuring tip of a measuring device. Only when a voltage-free operating state is determined can the measurement Tulip 114 removed and the assembly opening 113 are completely released.
Die Abflachung 32 liegt mit ihrer Unterseite auf einem ringförmigen Bund 132 ei- ner metallischen Hülse 130 auf. Die Hülse 130 setzt sich mit einem Schaft 134 längs des ersten Hochvolt-Leiters 20 nach außen fort und wird dort von einer Buchse 120 aufgenommen, die aus isolierenden Kunststoff, insbesondere aus glasfaserverstärktem Polyamid gebildet ist, wie beispielsweise PA 6.6 GF30. Die Buchse 120 isoliert den ersten Hochvolt-Leiter 20 gegenüber dem metallischen Gehäuse 110. The flat surface 32 lies with its underside on an annular collar 132 of a metallic sleeve 130. The sleeve 130 continues with a shaft 134 along the first high-voltage conductor 20 to the outside and is received there by a socket 120 which is formed from insulating plastic, in particular from glass fiber-reinforced polyamide, such as, for example, PA 6.6 GF30. The socket 120 insulates the first high-voltage conductor 20 from the metallic housing 110.
Die Buchse 120 weist einen Schaft 122 mit einer zentralen Bohrung 124 auf, durch die der erste Hochvolt-Leiter 20 hindurchgeführt ist. In ihrem innenliegen- den verdickten Teil weist die Buchse 120 stirnseitig eine kreisringförmige Erweite- rung 126 auf, die zur Aufnahme des Schafts 134 der Hülse 130 dient. Der erste Hochvolt-Leiter 20 weist an dieser Stelle einen Absatz 28 auf, an den das stirnsei- tige äußere Ende des Schafts 134 der Hülse 130 anstößt. The socket 120 has a shaft 122 with a central bore 124 through which the first high-voltage conductor 20 is guided. In its inner, thickened part, the socket 120 has an annular extension 126 on the end face, which serves to receive the shaft 134 of the sleeve 130. At this point, the first high-voltage conductor 20 has a shoulder 28 against which the front-side outer end of the shaft 134 of the sleeve 130 abuts.
Wie aus Figur 5 ersichtlich, ist der Schaft 122 der Buchse 120 von einem Ein- schraubring 140 umgeben. Der Einschraubring 140 dient zum Einschrauben in ein Gewinde 14 der Wand 12 des elektrischen Bauteils und ist zu diesem Zweck mit einem sich von einem Vorsprung 142 nach außen anschließenden Außen- Gewinde 148 versehen. Durch das Einschrauben ist der Hochvoltverbinder 100 mit dem elektrischen Bauteil 10 fest und dicht verbindbar. Im Bereich des Vor- sprungs 142 ist am Einschraubring 140 eine Dichtung 146 angeordnet, die sich von außen dichtend gegen die Wand 12 anlegt. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the shaft 122 of the bushing 120 is surrounded by a screw-in ring 140. The screw-in ring 140 is used for screwing into a thread 14 of the wall 12 of the electrical component and for this purpose is provided with an external thread 148 which adjoins a projection 142 to the outside. The high-voltage connector 100 can be firmly and tightly connected to the electrical component 10 by screwing in. In the area of the protrusion 142, a seal 146 is arranged on the screw-in ring 140, which seals against the wall 12 from the outside.
Der Einschraubring 140 weist einen weiteren nach außen gerichteten Vorsprung 143 auf. Dieser Vorsprung 143 wird von einem nach innen vorspringenden Bund einer Überwurfmutter 150 Übergriffen, die ein Innengewinde 152 aufweist, das mit einem Außengewinde 117 auf dem Gehäuseteil 111 in Eingriff bringbar ist. Der Einschraubring 140 stellt somit zum einen die Verbindung zum Gehäuse 110 des Hochvoltverbinders 100 und zum anderen die Verbindung zur Wand des Bauteils 10 her. The screw-in ring 140 has a further outward projection 143. This projection 143 is overlapped by an inwardly projecting collar of a union nut 150, which has an internal thread 152 which can be brought into engagement with an external thread 117 on the housing part 111. The screw ring 140 thus on the one hand provides the connection to the housing 110 of the High-voltage connector 100 and on the other hand the connection to the wall of component 10.
Dadurch, dass ein aus dem Bauteil 10 herausgeführter erster Hochvolt-Leiter 20 außerhalb des von der Wand 12 begrenzten Gehäuses des Bauteils 10 in einem mit der Wand verbindbaren Hochvoltverbinder 100 extern kontaktiert wird, braucht kein Eingriff in das Bauteil 10 zu erfolgen. Der Hersteller des Bauteils 10 kann somit dessen Qualität und Dichtheit garantieren, weil die weitere Kontaktie- rung nach außen mit dem zweiten Hochvolt-Leiter 30 außerhalb des Bauteils 10 und dennoch hochvoltsicher im an der Wand 12 befestigbaren, mittels des De- ckels 115 jederzeit zugänglichen Hochvoltverbinder 100 erfolgt. Because a first high-voltage conductor 20 led out of the component 10 is externally contacted outside the housing of the component 10 delimited by the wall 12 in a high-voltage connector 100 that can be connected to the wall, there is no need to intervene in the component 10. The manufacturer of the component 10 can thus guarantee its quality and tightness, because the further contact to the outside with the second high-voltage conductor 30 outside the component 10 and yet with high voltages can be attached to the wall 12 and is accessible at any time by means of the cover 115 High-voltage connector 100 takes place.
