Description
La présente invention est relative, à l'origine, à une lame porte-contacts d'un interrupteur à deux bornes de sortie et une borne d'entrée, ou commun, et comportant un poussoir pour pousser l'une des extrémités de la lame et déplacer ainsi son autre extrémité porte-contacts d'une des bornes de sorties à l'autre, pour finalement commuter le commun d'une des bornes de sortie sur l'autre. Pour cela, la lame assure la liaison électrique entre le commun et l'une ou l'autre des bornes de sortie, d'une part, et la lame est montée pivotante sur une articulation solidaire du commun, d'autre part.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. For this, 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.
Un tel interrupteur est dêcrit dans le document GB-A-2 088 133.Such a switch is described in document GB-A-2 088 133.
Plus précisément, et en référence à la figure 1, la lame porte-contacts 1 est montée sur l'articulation 2 par deux languettes centrales 3, 4 engagées par leurs extrémités libres 5, 6 dans deux encoches opposées 7, 8 de l'articulation 2, les languettes 3, 4 étant reliées, respectivement, à l'extrémité 9 de coopération avec le poussoir et à l'extrémité porte-contacts 10 qui sont réunies entre elles par une paire de bras latéraux 11 entre lesquels s'étendent avec jeu les languettes 3, 4.More specifically, and with reference to FIG. 1, the contact-carrying
Pour assurer une bonne liaison électrique entre eux, la force d'armement de la lame sur l'articulation, engendrée par le flambage élastique d'une des deux languettes faiblement écartée de l'autre, n'étant pas suffisante pour cela,le commun et les languettes centrales de la lame sont revêtus d'une couche d'un métal noble, comme par exemple l'or ou l'argent.To ensure a good electrical connection between them, 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.
La lame porte-contacts de l'interrupteur est réalisée par découpe à la presse, ou cisaillage, dans un ruban, puis par trempage dans un bain électrolytique du métal de revêtement.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.
Naturellement, les lames sont réalisées par grandes quantités.Naturally, the blades are produced in large quantities.
Selon le procédé de réalisation ci-dessus, les languettes centrales sont revêtues d'une couche de métal noble sur leurs cinq faces libres, c'est-à-dire leurs quatre faces longitudinales parallèles deux à deux et leur tranche, ou face transversale d'extrémité. Pour le seul besoin de la liaison électrique, c'est trop, mais une métallisation sélective serait encore plus onéreuse.According to the above production method, 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. For the sole need of the electrical connection, it is too much, but a selective metallization would be even more expensive.
En outre, le trempage des pièces découpées et le stockage en vrac des lames interrompt le flux de production des interrupteurs.In addition, the soaking of the cut pieces and the bulk storage of the blades interrupts the switch production flow.
Enfin, comme les lames ont une épaisseur très faible, de l'ordre de la centaine de microns, et que, dans le bac de trempage, elles peuvent par conséquent se déformer et se coller les unes aux autres, pour éviter qu'il n'en résulte une métallisation irrégulière et donc insuffisante à certains endroits, on préfère encore que le dépôt de métal noble, dans le bain électrolytique, soit partout surabondant, ce qui grève la réalisation de la lame, et donc de l'interrupteur, de frais supplémentaires.Finally, as 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.
La présente invention vise à pallier tous ces inconvénients et se fonde sur une double constatation en soi déjà inventive.The present invention aims to overcome all these drawbacks and is based on a double finding in itself already inventive.
Les métaux nobles des revêtements de liaison électrique entre le commun et les languettes centrales ont une bonne ductilité et l'ancrage des extrémités libres des languettes dans les encoches de l'articulation, au cours de l'utilisation de l'interrupteur et du fait de cette ductilité et du pivotement des extrémités de languette, s'accentue mais pour ne pas dépasser une profondeur finalement relativement faible de part et d'autre du bord transversal de pivotement des extrémités de languette.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.
Pour fixer les idées, et pour une épaisseur de languette de lame, c'est-à-dire une largeur de face transversale d'extrémité de languette, d'environ 100 µm, la profondeur d'ancrage des languettes dans l'articulation, lorsque l'interrupteur est neuf, est d'environ 1 µm et, après usage, elle ne dépasse pas 5 µm en moyenne.To fix the ideas, and for a thickness of blade tongue, that is to say a width of transverse face of tongue end, of approximately 100 μm, the depth of anchoring of the tongues in the joint, when the switch is new, is around 1 µm and, after use, it does not exceed 5 µm on average.
La présente invention concerne donc un procédé selon la revendication 1.The present invention therefore relates to a method according to
Grâce au procédé de l'invention, la tranche de l'extrémité de pivotement d'une languette est revêtue du métal de liaison électrique, par nature ductile, par étirage et transfert, sur une profondeur parfaitement suffisante, d'une partie du revêtement de surface du ruban adjacente au bord découpé de la languette. Dès la lame découpée, elle peut être montée sur l'articulation avant que ne soient poursuivies les autres étapes du procédé de fabrication de l'interrupteur.Thanks to the process of the invention, 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.
Dans la mise en oeuvre préférée du procédé de l'invention, pour réaliser les languettes avec leurs extrémités libres, on cisaille le ruban entre une matrice fixe, à une arête et une face de coupe, sur laquelle repose une partie du ruban destinée à devenir l'une des deux languettes, et un poinçon mobile qu'on déplace parallèlement à la face de coupe de la matrice.In the preferred implementation of the method of the invention, to produce the tongues with their free ends, 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.
La présente invention concerne aussi la lame porte-contacts d'interrupteur selon la revendication 3.The present invention also relates to the switch contact holder blade according to
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description suivante du procédé de réalisation de la lame porte-contacts de l'invention et de la lame elle-même, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :
- la figure 1 représente une vue latérale de la lame porte-contacts de l'invention, montée sur son articulation ;

- les figures 4A et 4B illustrent la réalisation par découpe des extrémités libres des languettes de la lame de la figure 1.

- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the blade of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 represents, on a larger scale, a side view of the free end of one of the tongues of the blade of FIG. 1 in the associated receiving notch of the joint and
- FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the production by cutting of the free ends of the tongues of the blade of FIG. 1.
Les caractéristiques de la lame de l'invention introduites ci-dessus, dans le préambule de cette description, ne seront pas reprises ici. Précisons quand même que le jeu 12, entre les languettes centrales 3, 4 et les bras latéraux 11 de la lame, est bien visible sur la figure 2. L'extrémité 10 de la lame porte, sur ses faces parallèles hors des plans desquelles les languettes peuvent faire saillie, des plots de contact 13, 14, ici soudés électriquement, pour que la lame, par l'intermédiaire de l'articulation 2, relie électriquement la borne d'entrée 15, de laquelle l'articulation 2 est solidaire, à l'une ou l'autre des deux bornes de sortie 16, 17 de l'interrupteur portant chacune un plot de contact 18, 19 en regard respectivement des plots 13, 14 de la lame.The characteristics of the blade of the invention introduced above, in the preamble to this description, will not be repeated here. However, it should be noted that the
La lame a été découpée, et on y reviendra plus loin, dans un ruban revêtu, sur ses deux faces, correspondant à celles évoquées ci-dessus et portant les plots 13, 14, de deux couches de métal conducteur ductile 20, 21. L'articulation 2 est également revêtue d'une couche de métal conducteur ductile 22. Les couches de métal 20-22 assurent la bonne liaison électrique entre l'articulation 2 et les languettes 3, 4. Les tranches 23, 24, c'est-à-dire les faces transversales d'extrémité, des languettes 3, 4 comportent également un revêtement de métal 27, 25 mais qui ne s'étend qu'en partie sur ces tranches, depuis leur bord transversal 28, 26 de pivotement dans les encoches 7, 8.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
Comme métal de liaison électrique, on peut employer, pour des courants importants, l'argent qui est un excellent conducteur et, pour des courants faibles, l'or qui a une bonne résistance à la corrosion.As an electrical bonding metal, silver which is an excellent conductor can be used for large currents and gold which has good corrosion resistance for low currents.
A titre d'exemple, et pour considérer une réalisation effective, la lame a été découpée dans un ruban de cuprobéryllium CuBe2 de 14 mm de large et 100 µm d'épaisseur revêtu, sur ses deux faces, d'une couche d'argent Ag de 0,3 µm d'épaisseur. L'articulation, en laiton CuZn, a été revêtue d'une couche d'argent de 3 à 5 µm d'épaisseur, ici particulièrement faible. La couche d'argent, sur la tranche des languettes, s'étend sensiblement sur une épaisseur de 20 µm, amplement suffisante pour assurer un bon contact Ag sur Ag lors des pivotements de l'extrémité 6 de la languette 4, d'environ 2 degrés.As an example, and to consider an effective implementation, the blade was cut from a CuBe 2 CuBe 2 ribbon 14 mm wide and 100 μm thick, coated on both sides with a layer of silver. 0.3 µm thick Ag. The joint, made of CuZn brass, was coated with a
Le découpage d'une lame porte-contacts de l'invention est réalisé au moyen d'une matrice fixe, composée de plusieurs éléments correspondant aux différentes parties de la lame, et d'une série de poinçons mobiles associés. Ce découpage est réalisé de façon parfaitement classique; pour ce qui concerne les extrémités libres des languettes, réunies avant découpe, il est procédé à un transfert de métal le long du bord de pivotement des languettes.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.
Pour la découpe des extrémités libres 5, 6 des languettes 3, 4, et en référence d'abord à la figure 4A, on utilise un élément de matrice 29, à face d'appui 37, face de coupe 31, perpendiculaire à la face 37, et arête de coupe 30, et un poinçon 32. Le poinçon 32 est monté pour être déplacé parallèlement à la face de coupe 31 de la matrice 29, dans la direction de la flèche 36. Le poinçon 32 possède une arête de coupe 33 et une face de coupe 34 parallèle à la direction de déplacement 36. Enfin, la face frontale 35 du poinçon est, de façon classique, dégagée du plan perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement 36 passant par l'arête de coupe 33.For the cutting of the
En référence à la figure 4B, en déplaçant le poinçon 32 dans la direction de la flèche 36, et après avoir posé sur la face 37 de la matrice 29 la partie de ruban qui correspondra à la languette 3, le ruban est découpé pour former les deux extrémités libres 5, 6, l'extrémité libre 5, avec une tranche 23, et l'extrémité libre 6, avec une tranche 24 formée par l'arête de coupe 30 et la face 31 de la matrice 29. Le premier bord transversal 28 de l'extrémité libre 5 de la languette 3, destiné à devenir le bord de pivotement, est arrondi de façon convexe par le poinçon avec étirage et transfert d'une partie 27 du métal de la couche 20 sur la tranche 23. Quant au deuxième bord, créé au voisinage de l'arête de coupe 30 de la matrice, il est aussi arrondi mais de façon concave, avec étirage en pointe d'une partie du métal de la couche 21. Il en est de même pour l'extrémité libre 6 de l'autre languette 4. Le premier bord transversal 26, destiné à devenir le bord de pivotement, est arrondi de façon convexe avec étirage et transfert d'une partie 25 du métal de la couche 21 sur la tranche 24. Quant au deuxième bord, proche du second bord de la première languette 3, il est aussi arrondi de façon concave avec étirage en pointe d'une partie du métal de la couche 20.With reference to FIG. 4B, by moving the
On remarquera que, comme environ 10 % seulement du courant passe à travers la languette 3 et les bras 11, au plan électrique, le bord 28 de la languette 3 est beaucoup moins important que le bord 26 de la languette 4.Note that since only about 10% of the current flows through the
On soulignera aussi que, comme le pivotement de la languette 4 est faible, de l'ordre de 2 degrés, son bord 26 est d'autant plus important que le contact de la languette 4 avec la couche de métal 22 de l'articulation 2, lors du fonctionnement de l'interrupteur, s'effectue exclusivement par ce bord 26.It will also be emphasized that, as the pivoting of the
