Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Kontaktierung eines ersten Kontaktpartners mit zumindest einem weiteren Kontaktpartner gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentsanspruches 1.The The invention relates to a device for contacting a first Contact partner with at least one other contact partner according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
Aus
der
Weiterhin sind Kontaktelemente bekannt, die aus einem elastisch verformbaren Kunststoff bestehen, dem elektrisch leitfähige Partikel beigemischt sind. Diese werden zwischen der Kontaktfläche eines Gerätes und einer weiteren Kontaktfläche eingesetzt. Solche Kontaktelemente haben allerdings den großen Nachteil, dass sie sehr teuer sind, denn der kostentreibende Faktor bei diesem bekannten Kontaktelement ist die Vorbereitung und Handhabung der elektrisch leitfähigen Partikel und die Herstellung einer extrudierfähigen Masse, die diese leitfähigen Partikel enthält. Dieser Nachteil ist gerade dann besonders stark, wenn Kontaktelemente in größerer Anzahl bei Geräten eingesetzt wird, die in Serienfertigung hergestellt werden.Farther Contact elements are known which consist of an elastically deformable Plastic consist, the electrically conductive particles are mixed. These are between the contact surface of a device and another contact surface used. However, such contact elements have the great disadvantage that they are very expensive, because the cost-driving factor in this known contact element is the preparation and handling of the electric conductive Particles and the production of an extrudable mass containing these conductive particles contains. This disadvantage is especially strong when contact elements in larger numbers in devices used in mass production.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Kontaktierung eines ersten Kontaktpartners mit zumindest einem weiteren Kontaktpartner bereitzustellen, mit der die eingangs geschilderten Nachteile vermieden werden und die besonders kostengünstig, insbesondere in Hinblick auf eine Serienfertigung, herzustellen sind.Of the Invention is therefore based on the object, a device for Contacting a first contact partner with at least one other To provide contact partners, with the initially described Disadvantages are avoided and the most cost-effective, in particular with a view to mass production.
Diese
Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein elastisch verformbarer Träger vorgesehen, der aus einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Material besteht und der zumindest teilweise, in besonders vorteilhafter Weise über seine gesamte Oberfläche eine elektrisch leitende Schicht aufweist, wobei die Kontaktpartner über diese Schicht elektrisch kontaktiert sind.According to the invention is a elastically deformable carrier provided, which consists of an electrically non-conductive material and at least partially, in a particularly advantageous manner over its entire surface has an electrically conductive layer, wherein the contact partners on this layer electrically contacted.
Damit stehen elastische Kontaktelemente für die Kontaktierung zweier oder mehrere Kontaktpartner zur Verfügung, die einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden können und darüber hinaus auf Grund ihrer Verformbarkeit Toleranzen zwischen den zumindest zwei Kontaktpartnern ausgleichen können. Für die Herstellung solcher elastischen Kontaktelemente ist es wesentlich einfacher und kostengünstiger, einen elektrisch nicht leitenden elastischen Träger, z.B. aus einem elastomerhaltigen Material oder vollständig aus Elastomer, zu verwenden, der auf einfachste Art und Weise mit einer elektrisch leitenden Schicht versehen wird. Dabei kann die elektrisch leitende Schicht beispielsweise durch Dispergieren, Metallsprühen, Lackieren, durch Druck (z. B. Prägen), chemogalvanisch, elektrostatisch oder dergleichen auf den elektrisch nicht leitfähigen Träger aufgebracht werden. Auf diese Art hergestellte elastische Kontaktelemente haben den Vorteil, dass sie zwischen den zumindest zwei Kontaktpartnern angeordnet werden können und einerseits zuverlässig aufgrund der aufgebrachten elektrisch leitenden Schicht die Kontaktierung zwischen den zumindest zwei Kontaktpartnern herstellen und gleichzeitig aufgrund der elastischen Verformbarkeit einen Toleranzausgleich gewähren. Da es zur Kontaktierung erforderlich ist, das Kontaktelement zwischen den zumindest zwei Kontaktpartnern zusammen zu drücken und diese Druckkraft während der Kontaktierung aufrecht zu erhalten, ist auch eine dauerhafte Kontaktierung gegeben, da die elektrisch leitende Schicht von dem elastisch verformten Träger dauerhaft gegen die Kontaktpartner gedrückt wird.In order to are elastic contact elements for contacting two or multiple contact partners available that are easily and inexpensively manufactured can be and above In addition, due to their deformability tolerances between the at least can compensate two contact partners. For the production of such elastic Contact elements it is much easier and cheaper, an electrically non-conductive elastic support, e.g. from an elastomeric material or Completely made of elastomer, to use in the simplest way with an electrically conductive layer is provided. It can the electrically conductive layer, for example by dispersing, metal spraying, painting, by pressure (eg embossing), chemogalvanisch, electrostatic or the like on the electric non-conductive Carrier applied become. Have produced in this way elastic contact elements the advantage of being between the at least two contact partners can be arranged and on the one hand reliable due the applied electrically conductive layer contacting make between the at least two contact partners and at the same time due to the elastic deformability tolerance compensation grant. Since it is necessary for contacting, the contact element between to press the at least two contact partners together and this pressure force during maintaining the contact is also a permanent one Contacting given as the electrically conductive layer of the elastically deformed carrier permanently pressed against the contact partners.
Die Druckkraft kann auch von anderen Elementen erzeugt werden, z.B. von einer Feder oder dergleichen. Darüber hinaus können auch zwei oder mehr solche Kontaktelemente in der Kontakteinrichtung angeordnet werden. Die Anordnung und Befestigung solches Kontaktelementes in der Kontakteinrichtung kann verschiedenartig ausgeführt werden.The compressive force can also be generated by other elements, for example by a spring or the like. In addition, two or two more such contact elements are arranged in the contact device. The arrangement and attachment of such contact element in the contact device can be performed in various ways.
In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die elektrisch leitende Schicht auch durch eine Folie, die auf den Träger mittels Kleben, Aufprägen oder dergleichen aufbringbar ist, realisiert werden. Insgesamt stehen damit verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung, den elastisch verformbaren und elektrisch nicht leitenden Träger mit einer elektrisch leitfähigen Schicht auf seiner Oberfläche zu versehen. Des Weiteren können die Kontaktelemente vor, insbesondere nach der Aufbringung der leitenden Schicht anwendungsbezogen angepasst werden (z.B. zugeschnitten, mit Befestigungselementen versehen oder dergleichen).In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the electric conductive layer also by means of a foil, which on the carrier by means of Gluing, imprinting or the like can be applied realized. Overall, stand with it different possibilities to disposal, the elastically deformable and electrically non-conductive carrier with an electrically conductive Layer on its surface to provide. Furthermore you can the contact elements before, in particular after the application of the conductive Layer can be adapted to the application (e.g. provided with fasteners or the like).
