Definitions
- the present invention relates, originally, to a contact-carrying blade of a switch with two output terminals and an input terminal, or common, and comprising a pusher for pushing one of the ends of the blade and thus move its other contact-carrying end from one of the output terminals to the other, to finally switch the common of one of the output terminals to the other.
- the blade provides the electrical connection between the common and one or the other of the output terminals, on the one hand, and the blade is pivotally mounted on a joint integral with the common, on the other hand.
- the contact-carrying blade 1 is mounted on the articulation 2 by two central tabs 3, 4 engaged by their free ends 5, 6 in two opposite notches 7, 8 of the articulation 2, the tongues 3, 4 being connected, respectively, to the end 9 of cooperation with the pusher and to the contact carrier end 10 which are joined together by a pair of lateral arms 11 between which extend with play the tabs 3, 4.
- the arming force of the blade on the joint generated by the elastic buckling of one of the two tongues slightly spaced from the other, not being sufficient for this, the common and the central tabs of the blade are coated with a layer of a noble metal, such as for example gold or silver.
- the contact-carrying blade of the switch is produced by press cutting, or shearing, from a ribbon, then by dipping the coating metal in an electrolytic bath.
- the central tongues are coated with a layer of noble metal on their five free faces, that is to say their four longitudinal faces parallel in pairs and their edge, or transverse face d 'end.
- a layer of noble metal on their five free faces, that is to say their four longitudinal faces parallel in pairs and their edge, or transverse face d 'end.
- the blades have a very small thickness, of the order of a hundred microns, and that, in the soaking tank, they can consequently deform and stick to each other, to prevent it from n 'results in an irregular metallization and therefore insufficient in some places, it is still preferred that the deposit of noble metal, in the electrolytic bath, is everywhere superabundant, which strikes the realization of the blade, and therefore of the switch, of fresh additional.
- the present invention aims to overcome all these drawbacks and is based on a double finding in itself already inventive.
- the noble metals of the coatings of electrical connection between the common and the central tongues have a good ductility and the anchoring of the free ends of the tongues in the notches of the joint, during the use of the switch and because of this ductility and of the pivoting of the tongue ends, is accentuated but so as not to exceed a ultimately relatively small depth on either side of the transverse edge of pivoting of the tongue ends.
- the depth of anchoring of the tongues in the joint, when the switch is new is around 1 ⁇ m and, after use, it does not exceed 5 ⁇ m on average.
- the present invention therefore relates to a method according to claim 1.
- the edge of the pivoting end of a tongue is coated with the electrical bonding metal, which is ductile in nature, by stretching and transfer, to a perfectly perfect depth. sufficient, of a part of the surface covering of the tape adjacent to the cut edge of the tongue. From the cut blade, it can be mounted on the joint before the other steps in the switch manufacturing process are continued.
- the tape is sheared between a fixed die, at an edge and a cutting face, on which rests part of the tape intended to become one of the two tongues, and a movable punch which is moved parallel to the cutting face of the die.
- the present invention also relates to the switch contact holder blade according to claim 3.
- the blade was cut, and we will come back to this later, in a coated ribbon, on its two faces, corresponding to those mentioned above and carrying the studs 13, 14, of two layers of ductile conductive metal 20, 21.
- L hinge 2 is also coated with a layer of ductile conductive metal 22.
- the layers of metal 20-22 provide good electrical connection between the hinge 2 and the tongues 3, 4.
- the edges 23, 24, that is ie the transverse end faces of the tongues 3, 4 also have a metal coating 27, 25 but which only extends part on these edges, from their transverse edge 28, 26 of pivoting in the notches 7, 8.
- silver which is an excellent conductor can be used for large currents and gold which has good corrosion resistance for low currents.
- the blade was cut from a CuBe 2 CuBe 2 ribbon 14 mm wide and 100 ⁇ m thick, coated on both sides with a layer of silver. 0.3 ⁇ m thick Ag.
- the joint made of CuZn brass, was coated with a silver layer 3 to 5 ⁇ m thick, here particularly thin.
- the silver layer, on the edge of the tongues, extends substantially over a thickness of 20 ⁇ m, more than sufficient to ensure good contact Ag on Ag during pivoting of the end 6 of the tongue 4, of approximately 2 degrees.
- the cutting of a contact-carrying blade of the invention is carried out by means of a fixed matrix, composed of several elements corresponding to the different parts of the blade, and of a series of associated movable punches. This cutting is carried out in a perfectly conventional manner; as regards the free ends of the tongues, assembled before cutting, a metal transfer is carried out along the pivoting edge of the tongues.
- a die element 29 is used, with support face 37, cutting face 31, perpendicular to the face 37, and cutting edge 30, and a punch 32.
- the punch 32 is mounted to be moved parallel to the cutting face 31 of the die 29, in the direction of the arrow 36.
- the punch 32 has a cutting edge 33 and a cutting face 34 parallel to the direction of movement 36.
- the face front 35 of the punch is, conventionally, released from the plane perpendicular to the direction of movement 36 passing through the cutting edge 33.
- the ribbon is cut to form the two free ends 5, 6, the free end 5, with a slice 23, and the free end 6, with a slice 24 formed by the cutting edge 30 and the face 31 of the die 29.
- the first transverse edge 28 of the free end 5 of the tongue 3, intended to become the pivoting edge, is rounded convexly by the punch with drawing and transfer of a part 27 of the metal of the layer 20 on the wafer 23.
- the second edge created in the vicinity of the cutting edge 30 of the die, it is also rounded but concave, with point drawing of part of the metal of layer 21.
- the first transverse edge 26, intended to become the he pivoting edge is convexly rounded with stretching and transfer of part 25 of the metal of layer 21 on the edge 24.
