Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verbinder für die Einzel zellen von insbesondere Antriebsbatterien gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a connector for the individual cells of in particular drive batteries according to the Preamble of claim 1.
Zellenverbinder dieser Art werden an Antriebsbatterien, z.B. für Elektrofahrzeuge, zum Verbinden von in soge nannten Trögen zusammengebauten Einzelzellen benötigt. Bei einem bekannten Zellenverbinder (DE-OS 35 18 216) ist eine breite Kupferlamelle an ihren Enden zur Bildung von Kontaktflächen für die Verbindung mit den Polbolzen einer Batteriezelle verbleit. Dadurch wird die Leitfähigkeit des Verbinders nicht beeinträchtigt, andererseits aber die Korrosionsgefahr an den Anschluß kontakten weitgehend beseitigt. Die Kupferlamelle ist zwischen den Kontaktflächen mit einer elektrischen Iso lierhülle aus einer Schrumpfhülle oder einem Schrumpf schlauch versehen. Ist der Polbolzen einer Einzelzelle noch von einer Isolierkappe mit einer Abdeckung umgeben, dann ist dieser Polkopf vollständig geschützt. Diese bekannte Kupferlamelle besteht aus einem steifen Flach profilstück, das sich keinen Bewegungen zwischen den Zellen anpassen kann und daher auf die Polverschraubung in ungünstiger Weise einwirkt. Ein flexibler Zellen verbinder ist an sich schon bekannt (DE-AS 24 41 221). Dieser besteht aus einem Kupferkabel, dessen Enden über Rohrstücke mit den Polen unlösbar verbunden sind. Abgesehen davon, daß dieses Verbinderkabel zur Beseiti gung der Korrosionsgefahr an seinen blanken Kontakt enden nicht in brauchbarer Weise verbleit werden kann, ist es auch für verschraubbare und daher lösbare Pol verbindungen nicht geeignet.Cell connectors of this type are used on drive batteries, e.g. for electric vehicles, for connecting in so-called called troughs assembled single cells needed. In a known cell connector (DE-OS 35 18 216) is a wide copper lamella at its ends Formation of contact areas for connection with the Lead pins of a battery cell. This will does not affect the conductivity of the connector, on the other hand, the risk of corrosion at the connection contacts largely eliminated. The copper lamella is between the contact surfaces with an electrical iso lierhülle from a shrink sleeve or a shrink provided hose. Is the pin of a single cell still surrounded by an insulating cap with a cover, then this pole head is completely protected. These known copper lamella consists of a rigid flat profile piece that has no movements between the Cells can adapt and therefore to the pole screw acts in an unfavorable manner. A flexible cell connector is already known per se (DE-AS 24 41 221). This consists of a copper cable, the ends of which are inseparably connected to the poles via pipe sections. Apart from the fact that this connector cable for Beseiti risk of corrosion on its bare contact ends cannot be leaded in a usable way, it is also for screwable and therefore removable pole connections not suitable.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Zellenverbinder der eingangs genannten Art derart zu verbessern, daß er zudem flexibel und dadurch an die an den Zellen auftretenden Bewegungen anpassungsfähig ist.The invention is therefore based on the object Cell connectors of the type mentioned at the beginning improve that he also flexible and thereby to the movements occurring on the cells adaptable is.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Zellenverbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale dieses Patentan spruches gelöst.This task is performed with a cell connector according to the Preamble of claim 1 according to the invention by the characterizing features of this patent solved.
Vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen beansprucht.Advantageous further developments of the invention are in Claimed claims.
Durch die Verwendung eines geflochtenen Kupferbandes für die Kupferlamelle wird ein flexibler Verbinder geschaffen, der in jeder Richtung ausreichend nachgiebig ist, um die an insbesondere transportierten Batterien auftretenden Zellenbewegungen und -erschütterungen aufnehmen und ausgleichen zu können. Die Ausbildung der Kontaktflächen unmittelbar an den Bandenden sichert einen optimalen Stromfluß, wie die Einfassung der Band enden mittels Kontaktschuhen aus Blei oder verbleitem Kupfer eine lösbare, verschraubbare und korrosions geschützte Polverbindung ermöglicht. Besonders vorteil haft erweist sich ein auf die Bandenden aufgegossener Kontaktschuh, der mit seinem abgestuften Anschlußbund einen elektrolytdichten Ansatz für eine Bandisolierung bildet, die auch bei starker Verwindung des Kupferban des sicher und dicht mit dem Kontaktschuh in Verbindung bleibt.By using a braided copper tape a flexible connector is used for the copper lamella created that is sufficiently compliant in every direction is to the batteries transported in particular occurring cell movements and tremors to be able to absorb and compensate. Training of the contact surfaces directly at the ends of the tape optimal current flow, such as the edging of the band end with contact shoes made of lead or leaded Copper a detachable, screwable and corrosion protected pole connection enables. Particularly advantageous a man poured onto the ends of the band proves to be imprisoned Contact shoe that with its graduated connection collar an electrolyte-tight approach to tape insulation forms, even with strong twisting of the copper ban the securely and tightly in contact with the contact shoe remains.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungs beispieles, das auch in der Zeichnung schematisiert dargestellt ist, näher beschrieben. Es zeigen: The invention is based on an embodiment example, which also schematized in the drawing is described, described in more detail. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf ein Verbinderende, Fig. 1 is a plan view of a connector end,
Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt hierzu und Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section for this and
Fig. 3 dieses Verbinderende in Betriebsstellung. Fig. 3 this connector end in the operating position.
Der dargestellte Verbinder besteht aus einem aus feinen Kupferdrähten geflochtenen Kupfer-Flachband 1 von einer Breite und Dicke für einen möglichst verlust freien Stromfluß. Das Kupfer-Flachband ist an seinen Enden 2 in geeigneter Form zugeschnitten und mit einer zweckmäßig kreisrunden Durchbrechung 3 versehen. Zweckmäßig ist es auf seiner ganzen Länge von gleicher Breite und Dicke. Um widerstandsfähige, gut leitende und korrosionssichere Kontaktflächen 4 für eine ver schraubbare Polverbindung zu schaffen, ist das Flach band an seinen Enden mit einem Kontaktschuh 5 aus Blei oder verbleitem Kupfer umgossen. Dieser Kontaktschuh kann auch durch Zusammenpressen von Formteilen erreicht werden (nicht dargestellt). Der Kontaktschuh weist ebenfalls auf die Banddurchbrechung 3 ausgerichtete Durchbrechungen 6 auf, so daß an den so gebildeten Verbinderenden durchgehende Kontaktaugen entstehen. Um auch das Flachband 1 auf seiner vollen Länge zu iso lieren, ist eine die beiden Kontaktschuhe 5 verbindende Isolierhülle 8 vorgesehen. Eine aufvulkanisierte Gummi hülle hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen. Für einen dichten und beständigen Anschluß der Isolierung an den Kontaktschuh ist dieser mit einem abgestuften Anschlußbund 9 versehen, der von der Isolierhülle überdeckt wird. Bis auf die aktiven Kontaktflächen ist dieser Verbinder somit isoliert.The connector shown consists of a flat copper ribbon 1 braided from fine copper wires of a width and thickness for a current flow that is as loss-free as possible. The copper flat strip is cut at its ends 2 in a suitable shape and provided with an appropriately circular opening 3 . It is expedient to have the same width and thickness over its entire length. In order to create resistant, highly conductive and corrosion-proof contact surfaces 4 for a screw connection ver screwable, the flat band is encapsulated at its ends with a contact shoe 5 made of lead or leaded copper. This contact shoe can also be achieved by pressing molded parts together (not shown). The contact shoe also has openings 6 aligned with the band opening 3 , so that continuous contact eyes are formed at the connector ends thus formed. In order to isolate the flat strip 1 over its full length, an insulating sleeve 8 connecting the two contact shoes 5 is provided. A vulcanized rubber cover has proven to be particularly advantageous. For a tight and permanent connection of the insulation to the contact shoe, the latter is provided with a stepped connecting collar 9 , which is covered by the insulating sleeve. Except for the active contact surfaces, this connector is therefore insulated.
In Fig. 3 ist der Verbinder an einen Polzapfen 12 einer Einzelzelle, die durch eine teilweise gezeichnete Zellenwand 13 dargestellt ist, angeschlossen. Auf dem Polbolzen 12 ist die bandförmige Kupferlamelle 1 mit ihren bleiernen Kontaktflächen 4 durch eine Messing schraube 14 lösbar festgeschraubt. Wie das Ausführungs beispiel zeigt, erstreckt sich die das Kupfer-Flach band 1 umhüllende Isolierhülle 8 bis nahe an den Pol bolzen 12 heran und durchsetzt dabei eine den Polbolzen umgebende Isolierkappe 15, die noch durch einen Ab schlußdeckel 16 abgedeckt ist. Im Mittenbereich dieses Ab schlußdeckels kann ein Durchsteckloch für ein Meß instrument vorgesehen sein.In Fig. 3, the connector is connected to a pole pin 12 of a single cell, which is represented by a partially drawn cell wall 13 . On the pole bolt 12 , the band-shaped copper lamella 1 is releasably screwed with its lead contact surfaces 4 by a brass screw 14 . As the execution example shows, the copper ribbon 1 enveloping insulating sleeve 8 extends close to the pole bolt 12 and penetrates an insulating cap 15 surrounding the pole bolt, which is still covered by a cover 16 from . In the middle of this end cover from a through hole for a measuring instrument can be provided.
