That is, the generation of a new surface due to the elongation of each strand and the occurrence of adhesion due to the efficient compression force acting on each strand improves the conduction characteristics between the strands.

- the core wire 1 since the core wire 1 receives a crimping force from the core wire crimping portion 16, a new surface is generated when each strand 1a extends. Further, in the caulking process of the core wire crimping portion 16, the core wire 1 bites into both edges of the notch portion 19 of the core wire crimping portion 16, so that a portion where the elongation of the core wire 1 is suppressed occurs, and the core wire 1 is efficiently compressed. The place which acts is produced.
- the core wire 1 starts from the edge e1 on the distal end side of the core wire 1, and the core wire portion E1 on the distal end side from this has a compressive force due to the caulking force. 1 can be extended to the front end side (in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 2B).

- a groove (serration) 18 is provided on the inner surface of the core wire crimping portion 16. For this reason, since the element wire 1a of the core wire 1 is deformed so as to enter the groove 18, that is, stretched and deformed, a new surface is generated and adhesion occurs due to receiving a compressive force. And the conduction resistance between the strands 1a are reduced. This also makes it possible to reduce the electrical resistance at the electrical connection point.
- Core wire 1 is made of aluminum.
- the aluminum strand 1a has a thicker oxide film on the surface than the copper alloy.
- the aluminum core wire 1 has a problem of an increase in electrical resistance due to the conduction resistance between the strands 1a.
- the crimp terminal 10A according to the first embodiment is particularly effective for an aluminum electric wire because the conduction resistance between the strands 1a can be reduced.
- the aluminum core wire 1 is softer and easier to stretch than the copper alloy product, but for the reasons described above, the compressive force due to crimping of the core wire crimping portion 16 can be efficiently applied to the core wire 1. For this reason, the crimp terminal 10A according to the first embodiment is particularly effective for an aluminum electric wire from this viewpoint.
- the crimp terminal 10B according to the second embodiment includes a pair of core wire crimp parts 16 with a first notch part 19a and a second notch part 19b spaced apart from each other. The point provided is different. And the 1st notch part 19a of the front end side is provided in the position of the front end side of the core wire 1 rather than the center position C1 (refer FIG.7 (b)) of the core piece axial direction of each crimping piece part 16b.

Then, as in the first embodiment, the core wire 1 bites into both edges of the first cutout portion 19a and the second cutout portion 19b of each core wire crimping piece portion 16b. For this reason, even if compressive force acts on the core wire 1 by the core wire crimping part 16, the core wire 1 cannot freely extend to the front end side or the rear end side, and the extension of the core wire 1 is suppressed.
- the leading end side edge e1 of the core wire 1 is the starting point, and the leading end side core wire portion E1 has a compressive force due to the caulking force. It can extend to the tip end side of the core wire 1 (a arrow direction in FIG. 7B).

Abstract
圧着端子(10A)は、電線(W)の複数の素線(1a)からなる芯線(1)に圧着可能な芯線圧着部(16)を備える。芯線圧着部(16)には、芯線(1)の軸方向の中間位置に切欠部(19)が設けられる。
Description
本発明は、電線に接続するための圧着端子に関する。
この種の従来例の圧着端子として、特許文献1に開示されたものがある。図8、9に示すように、従来例の圧着端子110に接続される電線Wは、複数の素線101aからなる芯線101と、芯線101の外周を覆う絶縁外皮102とを備える。電線Wの先端側は、絶縁外皮102が除去されて、芯線101が露出されている。
圧着端子110は、相手端子接続部111と、電線接続部115とを備える。電線接続部115は、芯線圧着部116と、外皮圧着部117とを備える。芯線圧着部116は、基底部116aと、この基底部116aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部116bとを備える。芯線圧着部116の基底部116aと一対の加締め片部116bの内面には、三本の長溝(セレーション)118が形成されている。外皮圧着部117は、基底部117aと、この基底部117aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部117bとを備える。
圧着端子110は、芯線圧着部116によって露出された芯線101を加締め圧着し、外皮圧着部117によって絶縁外皮102を加締め圧着している。
ところで、加締め圧着は、加締め治具(不図示)で一対の芯線加締め片部116bを押圧し、一対の加締め片部116bを塑性変形することにより行う。この加締め過程では、芯線加締め片部116bより芯線101が圧着力を受ける。すると、図9に示すように、芯線101が左右いずれの方向(図9のa矢印方向とb矢印方向)にも自由に伸びることができる。一般的には、芯線加締め片部116bの先端側に位置する芯線101は、先端側(図9のa矢印方向)に伸び、芯線加締め片部116bの後端側(絶縁外皮側)に位置する芯線101は、後端側(絶縁外皮側)(図9のb矢印方向)に伸びる。
このように、芯線101が自由に伸び、縮径するため、圧着力が有効に芯線101の各素線101aに作用しない。素線101aは、伸びることによって新生面を発生するものの、低い圧縮力しか受けないため、凝着が発生しない、若しくは、発生しても凝着が促進されない。そして、凝着が不足すると、素線101a間の導通特性が向上せず、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が高くなるという問題があった。
本発明は、上述した課題を解決すべくなされたものであり、電線との電気接続箇所における電気抵抗を低減できる圧着端子を提供することを目的とする。
本発明の態様に係る圧着端子は、電線の複数の素線からなる芯線に圧着可能な芯線圧着部を備え、芯線圧着部の芯線の軸方向の中間位置には、少なくとも1つの切欠部が設けられる。
切欠部は、芯線圧着部の芯線の軸方向の中央よりも前記芯線の先端側の位置に設けられたものであってもよい。切欠部は、複数箇所に設けられたものであってもよい。
本発明の態様係る圧着端子によれば、芯線圧着部の加締め過程では、芯線に圧着力が作用するため、各素線が伸びることによって新生面が発生する。又、芯線圧着部の加締め過程では、芯線圧着部の切欠部の両エッジに芯線が食い込むため、芯線の伸びが抑制される箇所が生じ、芯線に圧縮力が効率良く作用する箇所が生じる。つまり、各素線の伸びによる新生面の発生と、各素線に効率良く圧縮力が作用することによって凝着が発生し、素線間の導通特性が向上する。以上より、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が低減する。
以下、実施形態に係る圧着端子を図面に基づいて説明する。
(第1実施形態)
図1―5を用いて、第1実施形態を説明する。図1―3に示すように、電線Wは、複数の素線1aからなる芯線1と、芯線1の外周を覆う絶縁外皮2とを備える。電線Wの先端側は、絶縁外皮2が除去されて、芯線1が露出されている。芯線1は、アルミニウム製又はアルミニウム合金製(以下、アルミ製)の多数の素線1aから成り、多数の素線1aが互いに撚られている。つまり、電線Wは、アルミ電線である。
図1―5を用いて、第1実施形態を説明する。図1―3に示すように、電線Wは、複数の素線1aからなる芯線1と、芯線1の外周を覆う絶縁外皮2とを備える。電線Wの先端側は、絶縁外皮2が除去されて、芯線1が露出されている。芯線1は、アルミニウム製又はアルミニウム合金製(以下、アルミ製)の多数の素線1aから成り、多数の素線1aが互いに撚られている。つまり、電線Wは、アルミ電線である。
圧着端子10Aは、例えば、銅合金製であり、所定形状に裁断したプレートを折り曲げ加工することによって形成されている。圧着端子10Aは、相手端子接続部11と、電線接続部15とを備える。電線接続部15は、芯線圧着部16と、外皮圧着部17とを備える。芯線圧着部16は、基底部16aと、この基底部16aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部16bとを備える。芯線圧着部16の基底部16aと一対の加締め片部16bの内面には、多数の丸形状の溝(セレーション)18が形成されている。各加締め片部16bには、芯線1の軸方向の中間位置に切欠部19が一箇所設けられている。切欠部19は、各加締片部16bの芯線軸方向の中心位置C1(図2(b)参照)よりも芯線1の先端側の位置に設けられている。
外皮圧着部17は、基底部17aと、この基底部17aの両側から延設された一対の加締め片部17bとを備える。
圧着端子10Aは、芯線圧着部16によって露出された芯線1を加締め圧着し、外皮圧着部17によって絶縁外皮2を加締め圧着している。
圧着端子10Aは、図4に示す加締め治具20によって圧着される。加締め治具20は、その加締め先端側に最終的な加締め外周形状の加締め溝21を有する。図5に示すように、加締め治具20によって一対の芯線加締め片部16bを上方から押圧すると、加締め溝21に沿って一対の加締め片部16bが塑性変形される。
この加締め過程では、芯線圧着部16より芯線1が圧着力を受けるため、各素線1aが伸びることによって新生面が発生する。又、芯線圧着部16の加締め過程では、芯線圧着部16の切欠部19の両エッジに芯線1が食い込むため、芯線1の伸びが抑制される箇所が生じ、芯線1に圧縮力が効率良く作用する箇所が生じる。
具体的には、第1実施形態では、図2(b)に示すように、芯線1の先端側のエッジe1を起点としてこれより先端側の芯線箇所E1では、加締め力による圧縮力で芯線1の先端側(図2(b)のa矢印方向)に伸びることができる。一方、芯線1の後端側のエッジe2を起点としてこれより後端側の芯線箇所E2では、加締め力による圧縮力で芯線1の後端側(図2(b)のb矢印方向)に伸びることができるものの、芯線1の先端側(図2(b)のa矢印方向)への伸びが抑制される。換言すれば、後端側の芯線箇所E2では、各素線1aの伸びによる新生面の発生と、各素線1aに効率良く圧縮力が作用することによって凝着が発生し、素線1間の導通特性が向上する。以上より、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が低減する。
このように圧着端子10Aの一部を設計変更することによって、電気接続箇所における芯線1の導通特性を向上させることができるため、単線化等に較べてほとんどコストアップなしに電気接続箇所の電気抵抗を低減することができる。
切欠部19は、芯線圧着部16の芯線軸方向の中心C1ではなく、中心C1よりも芯線1の先端側の位置に設けられている。これにより、後端側の芯線箇所E2が先端側の芯線箇所E1よりも長くなり、新生面が発生し、且つ、圧縮力が効率良く作用する範囲を広くできる。従って、凝着の発生範囲を広くでき、素線1間の導通特性の向上を図ることができる。
芯線圧着部16の内面には、溝(セレーション)18が設けられている。このため、芯線1の素線1aが溝18に入り込むよう変形、つまり、伸び変形するため、新生面が発生し、圧縮力を受けることなどによって凝着が発生するため、芯線1と芯線圧着部16との間の導通抵抗の低減になると共に素線1a間の導通抵抗の低減になる。これによっても、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗の低減を図ることができる。
芯線1は、アルミ製である。アルミ製の素線1aは、銅合金製に較べて表面にできる酸化被膜が厚い。そのため、アルミ製の芯線1は、素線1a間の導通抵抗による電気抵抗の増加が問題であった。しかし、第1実施形態に係る圧着端子10Aでは、素線1a間の導通抵抗を低減できるため、特にアルミ電線に有効である。アルミ製の芯線1は、銅合金製に較べて柔らかくて伸び易いが、上記した理由によって、芯線圧着部16の加締め圧着による圧縮力が芯線1に効率良く作用させることができる。このため、第1実施形態に係る圧着端子10Aは、この観点からも特にアルミ電線に有効である。
(第2実施形態)
図6、7を用いて、第2実施形態を説明する。第2実施形態に係る圧着端子10Bは、第1実施形態に係る圧着端子10Aと比較して、一対の芯線圧着部16に第1切欠部19aと第2切欠部19bとが間隔を置いて二箇所設けられている点が相違する。そして、先端側の第1切欠部19aは、各加締片部16bの芯線軸方向の中心位置C1(図7(b)参照)よりも芯線1の先端側の位置に設けられている。
図6、7を用いて、第2実施形態を説明する。第2実施形態に係る圧着端子10Bは、第1実施形態に係る圧着端子10Aと比較して、一対の芯線圧着部16に第1切欠部19aと第2切欠部19bとが間隔を置いて二箇所設けられている点が相違する。そして、先端側の第1切欠部19aは、各加締片部16bの芯線軸方向の中心位置C1(図7(b)参照)よりも芯線1の先端側の位置に設けられている。
他の構成は、前記第1実施形態と同一であるため、同一構成箇所には同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
上記構成において、芯線圧着部16の加締め過程では、芯線圧着部16より芯線1が圧着力を受ける。すると、前記第1実施形態と同様に、各芯線加締め片部16bの第1切欠部19aと第2切欠部19bの各両エッジに芯線1が食い込む。このため、芯線圧着部16によって芯線1に圧縮力が作用しても、芯線1が自由に先端側や後端側に伸びることができず、芯線1の伸びが抑制される。
具体的には、第2実施形態では、図7(b)に示すように、芯線1の先端側のエッジe1を起点として、これより先端側の芯線箇所E1では、加締め力による圧縮力で芯線1の先端側(図7(b)のa矢印方向)に伸びることができる。一方、芯線1の最も後端側のエッジe2を起点としてこれより後端側の芯線箇所E2では、加締め力による圧縮力で芯線1の後端側(図7(b)のb矢印方向)に伸びることができるものの、芯線1の先端側(図7(b)のa矢印方向)への伸びが抑制される。又、第1切欠部19aと第2切欠部19bの間に位置する芯線箇所E3では、加締め力による圧縮力で芯線1の先端側(図7(b)のa矢印方向)にも後端側(図7(b)のb矢印方向)にも伸びることが抑制される。換言すれば、後端側の芯線箇所E2の芯線1は、圧縮力によって抑制されつつではあるが伸びるために、芯線1に新生面が発生し、且つ、伸びが抑制されることによって、芯線1には圧縮力が効率良く作用する。又、中間位置の芯線箇所E3の芯線1は、加締め力による圧縮力によって伸びが十分に抑制されるものの、圧縮力による素線1a間の摺動(摩擦)によって新生面が発生し、且つ、圧縮力が最も効率良く作用する。つまり、新生面が発生した素線1a間が摺動して凝着が発生し、素線1間の導通特性が向上する。第2実施形態では、凝着する範囲が拡大し、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が更に低減する。
第2実施形態では、芯線圧着部16の各加締片部16bには2箇所に第1切欠部19aと第2切欠部19bを設けたが、3箇所以上に切欠部を設けても良い。
(変形例)
各実施形態では、芯線1がアルミ製であるが、アルミ製以外の芯線1(例えば銅合金製)であっても適用できる。
各実施形態では、芯線1がアルミ製であるが、アルミ製以外の芯線1(例えば銅合金製)であっても適用できる。
各実施形態では、芯線圧着部16の内面に設けるセレーションは、溝18であるが、突部でも良く、又、溝と突部の両方であっても良い。
本発明によれば、電線の各素線の伸びによる新生面の発生と、各素線に効率良く圧縮力が作用することによって凝着が発生し、素線間の導通特性が向上する圧着端子を提供することができる。
