Description

圧着端子
　本発明は、電線に接続する圧着端子に関する。
　従来の圧着端子として、特開２００９－１２３６２３号公報（特許文献１）に開示されたものがある。図１及び図２に示すように、圧着端子１１０を接続する電線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とから構成されている。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を有する。電線接続部１１５は、芯線圧着部１１６と外皮圧着部１１７を有する。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を有する。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。長溝１１８は、芯線１０１の軸方向の直交方向を長手方向として配置されている。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を有する。
　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。
特開２００９－１２３６２３号公報
　しかしながら、前記従来の圧着端子１１０では、セレーションが長溝１１８である。長溝１１８は、各素線１０１ａの軸方向の直交方向の寸法が長いが、各素線１０１ａの軸方向の寸法が小さい。そのため、各長溝１１８内に芯線１０１の各素線１０１ａが深く入り込むことができない。各素線１０１ａが長溝１１８内に深く入り込むことができないと、芯線圧着部１１６の加締圧着過程で各素線１０１ａに伸びによる新生面が発生せず、凝着が発生しない。各素線１０１ａ間に凝着が発生しないと、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、前記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。
　本発明の第１のアスペクトは、基底部と、前記基底部の側方から延設された加締め片部を有し、電線の複数の素線からなる芯線を圧着する芯線圧着部と、を備え、前記芯線圧着部の前記芯線が圧着される面には、多数の三角形状のセレーションが設けられた圧着端子を提供する。
　三角形状の前記各セレーションは、一辺が前記芯線の軸方向の直交方向に沿う向きに配置されても良い。前記各セレーションは、正三角形状であっても良い。
　本発明の第１のアスペクトによれば、三角形状のセレーションは、芯線の軸方向及びその直交方向共に素線が例えば入り込む程度の寸法を確保できるため、芯線圧着部の加締圧着過程で各素線がセレーションに例えば確実に深く入り込み、伸びによる新生面の発生を促進できる。これにより、凝着が発生し、素線間の導通特性が向上する。これにより、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗が低減する。
　三角形状のセレーションは、芯線の軸方向の直交方向のエッジ、及び、芯線の軸方向以外のエッジを増やしつつ、芯線の軸方向のエッジをなくように配置できるため、芯線圧着部の加締圧着過程で各素線を軸方向に伸ばすという本来の機能を有効に発揮することができる。

　以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
　図３～図７は、本発明の一実施形態を示す。図３及び図４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とから構成されている。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からなり、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１０は、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１０は、相手端子接続部１１と電線接続部１５を有する。電線接続部１５は、芯線圧着部１６と外皮圧着部１７を有する。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を有する。
　芯線圧着部１６の基底部１６ａと一対の加締め片部１６ｂの内面（芯線１が圧着される面）には、多数の正三角形状のセレーション１８が形成されている。セレーション１８は、図５（ａ）、（ｂ）に詳しく示すように、正三角形状の溝である。各正三角形状のセレーション１８は、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１（図５（ａ）に示す）及びその直交方向Ｃ２（図５（ａ）に示す）共に素線１ａが入り込む程度の溝寸法である。正三角形状の各セレーション１８は、その一辺１８ａ（図５（ｃ）に示す）が芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２になる向きに配置されている。正三角形状のセレーション１８の配列は、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１に隣接するもの同士、及び、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２に隣接するもの同士が、互いに異なる向きとなるパターンである。これにより、単位面積当たりのセレーション１８の配置数を多くしてある。
　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を有する。
　圧着端子１０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１０は、図６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７に示すように、加締め治具２０によって一対の加締め片部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。ここで、正三角形状のセレーション１８は、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１及びその直交方向Ｃ２共に素線１ａが入り込む寸法を確保されているため、各素線１ａがセレーション１８に確実に深く入り込み、伸びによる新生面の発生を促進できる。これにより、凝着が発生し、素線１ａ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。
　正三角形状のセレーション１８は、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２のエッジ、及び、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１以外のエッジを増やしつつ、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１のエッジをなくすように配置されているため、芯線圧着部１６の加締圧着過程で各素線１ａを軸方向Ｃ１に伸ばすという本来の機能を有効に発揮する。詳細には、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２のエッジは、各素線１ａを軸方向Ｃ１に伸ばすという機能を発揮するが、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１のエッジは、各素線１ａを軸方向Ｃ１に伸ばすという機能を有しない。このような理由により、正三角形のセレーション１８は、凝着の発生を促進し、電気接続箇所の電気抵抗の低減を有効に図ることができる。又、正三角形状のセレーション１８は、製造が容易である。
　芯線圧着部１６の内面に接触、若しくは、近接する各素線１ａは、セレーション１８に深く入り込むことにより、新生面の発生が促進されるため、芯線１と芯線圧着部１６間の凝着も発生し、且つ、促進される。従って、芯線１と芯線圧着部１６（圧着端子１０）の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が低減する。又、各素線１ａがセレーション１８に確実に深く入り込むため、芯線１と芯線圧着部１６間の引っ張り強度の向上（機械的強度の向上）にもなる。
　このように圧着端子１０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が、本実施形態では、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ため、本実施形態は、この観点からも特にアルミ電線に有効である。
　次に、セレーションの形状が円形状、四角形（菱形を含む）の場合との相違を説明する。
　セレーション１８の形状が正三角形状（正三角形以外の三角形も含む）の場合には、円形状や四角形状に較べて単位面積当たりの配置数を多くできる。また、セレーションが円形状の場合には、素線１ａを確実に深く入り込ませることができるが、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２のエッジを増やすことができない。セレーションが四角形の場合には、素線１ａを確実に深く入り込ませることができ、且つ、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２のエッジを増やすことができるが、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１のエッジが発生する。菱形の場合には、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１に近いエッジが発生する。これに対し、正三角形（正三角形以外の三角形も含む）のセレーション１８は、図５（ｃ）に示すように、芯線１の軸方向の直交方向Ｃ２のエッジ（辺１８ａのエッジ）を増やし、且つ、芯線１の軸方向Ｃ１のエッジ及びこれに近いエッジも無くすことができる。その上、図５（ｃ）に示すように、辺１８ｂ、辺１８ｃのエッジは、セレーション１８内に入り込む各素線１ａに対して互いを圧着する方向の反力ｆ１，ｆ２を作用させるため、素線１ａ間の凝着を促進させる利点がある。
（変形例）
　実施形態では、セレーション１８は、正三角形状であるが、正三角形以外の三角形状であっても良い。例えば、二等辺三角形状でも良いし、その他の三角形状でも良い。
　実施形態では、セレーション１８は、溝であるが、突部でも良く、又、溝と突部の両方であっても良い。つまり、本明細書では、セレーションとは、面上に形成される溝や凸部を意味する。
　実施形態では、芯線１がアルミ製であるが、本発明は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。
