Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal for releasably attaching at least one power cable to a cylindrical or in the axial direction slightly conical pole of a rechargeable battery or a rechargeable battery, preferably for motor vehicles, which terminal two has the pole in the position of use in a form-fitting manner between the clamping jaws which open axially in the open position the pole can be slid on and deformed towards one another by means of a screw running to the side of the pole and a mating thread or counterpart captured thereby and thereby clampable to the pole, the screw or its shaft or its central axis being oriented towards the pole approximately in the plug-in direction of the clamp and when tightening in relation to the counter thread or counterpart, at least one inclined surface is moved against a counter surface, so that the axial adjustment effected by the screw transversely to the closing direction of the clamping jaw on the inclined surface into an adjustment in the closing direction Attention of the clamping jaws can be implemented and wherein on each clamping jaw two opposing inclined surfaces are provided and the part to
  • Such a terminal is known from DE 40 11 378 and from US-PS 1 746 514.
  • the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaws are each flat and run in the starting position with their edges or contour lines parallel to one another, so that in the event of jamming due to the pivoting of the clamping jaws, an inclined position occurs. This can lead to a point contact on the counter-inclined surfaces and thus to a reduced clamping effect, so that such a connection terminal can become detached, particularly in the dynamic operation of a motor vehicle. Due to the limited thickness of the terminal, an insufficient clamping force can also be achieved in this way.
  • the inclined surfaces are curved transversely to their inclination or their inclined angle. This curvature can be circular or the like. If the clamping piece now causes the clamping jaws to bend together, the inclined surfaces can be moved towards one another if the radius of curvature is selected correctly, but because of their rounding they continue to touch the counterpart flatly. To a certain extent, the pivoting movement of the clamping jaws results in a relative rotation between the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaw and those of the clamping piece. This leaves a better and bigger one Get in touch and thus a larger area is available for absorbing the clamping force in the area of the pole. In addition, loosening of the clamp connection in dynamic operation is avoided.
  • a particularly expedient and simple embodiment can consist in that the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaws are convex and the counter surfaces of the clamping piece are concavely curved.
  • the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaws are convex and the counter surfaces of the clamping piece are concavely curved.
  • these can add up to an essentially circumferential curve which is only interrupted by the clamping slot and can be partially encompassed by the oppositely beveled and curved counter surfaces of the clamping piece.
  • a modified embodiment can consist in that the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaws are concave and the counter surfaces of the clamping piece are convexly curved.
  • the inclined surfaces on the clamping jaws are concave and the counter surfaces of the clamping piece are convexly curved.
  • the centers of curvature of the arcs belonging to an inclined surface, the envelope of which forms these inclined surfaces, run on a straight line.
  • the envelope of an inclined surface is the (partial) lateral surface of a shear cylinder whose cross-sectional area is circles, the shear cylinder opposite one at the shear angle represents its base tilted cylinder, the central axis is tilted and is inclined to the base and to its circles forming cross sections.
  • the inclined surfaces have a constant slope.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment can consist of the fact that the clamping slot running between the clamping jaws passes through the plane spanned by the diagonally extending straight lines at right angles and the inclined surfaces and the clamping jaws are arranged symmetrically to the clamping slot. This leads to a mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the clamping jaws, the inclined surfaces on both sides of the clamping jaws being spaced apart by the clamping slot. As a result, the clamping jaws achieve a uniform clamping effect.
  • An advantageous further development of the invention can consist in that stiffening flanges are provided which continue the inclined surfaces - approximately parallel to the direction of extension of the clamping slot. As a result, the clamping force can be better transmitted to the remaining jaw area in the area of the pole.
  • the passage opening for the clamping screw has play between the inclined surfaces with respect to the clamping screw.
  • the halves of this passage opening can be corresponding to one another when the clamping jaws bend Carry out relative movement. This improves the preservation of the surface contact during tightening and especially in the clamping position.
  • An expedient embodiment of the invention can consist in that at least one projection with at least one receiving opening for connecting one or more cables is arranged on the end region of the connecting terminal opposite the region of the clamping slot. This allows all cables to be connected to the side of the connection terminal opposite the clamping jaws.
  • the two clamping jaws have the same symmetrical shapes and thus the same bending behavior and, when pressed together, lie evenly on the battery pole.
  • connection terminal It is useful if the projection is arranged in one piece on the connection terminal. As a result, the load capacity of the connection terminal against mechanical loads is increased and the manufacturing outlay is practically not increased.
  • a connecting web can expediently extend between the projection and the connecting terminal on both sides of the longitudinal center plane and be symmetrical to the latter. It is advantageous if the projection has at least two planes arranged transversely, in particular at right angles to the polar axis and offset from one another, it being possible for at least one cable connection opening to be arranged on each plane. This means that different cables or cable groups for additional consumers can be assembled and disassembled on the corresponding levels in a clearer and more accessible manner. Nevertheless, the bending behavior of the jaws when tightening the screw serving for their jamming is not impaired by these additional cable connections, or a symmetrical deformation of the jaws remains possible instead that they could deform in different ways - with a projection provided on one side.
  • a terminal designated in Figure 1 as a whole is used for releasably attaching a power cable to a cylindrical - or slightly conical in the axial direction - pole of an accumulator or a rechargeable battery, which is preferably used in motor vehicles.
  • the connection terminal 1 has an approximately cylindrical bushing 2 - for receiving the battery pole - with a clamping flange 3 projecting laterally therefrom.
  • this clamping flange 3 there is an opening 4, likewise round or cylindrical, which is spaced apart from the feedthrough 2 and runs parallel.
  • the clamping flange 3 is penetrated approximately in the middle by an open-edge clamping slot 5, which is located in a plane running in the axial direction of the opening 4. As a result, the clamping flange 3 is split in half, the clamping slot 5 interrupting the casing of the bushing 2 in its part facing the clamping flange 3.
  • the clamping jaws 6 formed in this way can be pushed axially onto the battery pole and clamp the latter firmly inside the bushing 2 in the use position.
  • the clamping jaws 6 can be adjusted relative to one another by means of a clamping screw 7 passing through the opening 4, so that the battery pole can be clamped.
  • the jacket regions of the opening 4 which are acted upon by the clamping screw 7 and lie approximately transversely to the clamping slot 5 have inclined surfaces 8. Starting from the top of the clamping flange 3, the inclined surfaces 8 run obliquely to one another in such a way that in the upper edge region of the inclined surface 8 in the use position, they have their smallest distance from one another.
  • the underside of the head 7a of the screw 7 facing the screw shaft 7b has complementary surfaces 9 which are shaped complementary to these inclined surfaces 8 and which act on the inclined surfaces 8 in the use position (cf. FIG. 2).
  • the clamping screw 7 penetrates the opening 4 with its shaft 7b and is held on the outlet side by a nut 10 with a washer 11 interposed.
  • the outer jacket region of the opening 4 having the inclined surfaces 8 is acted upon by the counter surfaces 9 of the screw 7, so that the axial adjustment effected by the screw 7 transversely to the closing direction of the clamping jaws 6 on the inclined surfaces 8 into an adjustment in the closing direction of the clamping jaws 6 is implemented.
  • the passage opening 4 for the clamping screw 7 has so much play compared to the clamping screw 7 that the clamping screw 7 does not hinder the clamping movement.
  • the mutually symmetrical - separated by the clamping slot 5 - opposite inclined surfaces 8 have the same inclined angle and are inclined towards each other with the same slope in the direction of the counter surfaces 9.
  • the inclined surfaces 8 have a curvature approximately parallel to the inner wall of the opening 4. Cutting lines from across or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the clamping screw 7 cutting planes on the inclined surfaces 8 are thus curved.
  • the counter surfaces 9 on the screw 7 are then designed to be complementarily curved. As a result, surface contact is achieved between the inclined surfaces 8 and the counter surfaces 9 acting on them in the use position.
  • intersection lines 12 which run at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the screw on the inclined surfaces 8, form jacket or contour lines which run on arcs of the same curvature and the same radii of curvature.
  • the inclined surfaces 8 are the respective enveloping lateral surfaces of circular arcs lying one above the other, which form the contour lines and which each belong to one of the two inclined surfaces 8 spaced by the clamping slot 5, the counter surfaces 9 of the clamping screw 7 having a correspondingly curved and complementarily shaped curvature.
  • the envelope of an inclined surface 8 is the (partial) lateral surface of a shear cylinder, the cross-sectional area of which is a circle, the shear cylinder representing a cylinder tilted at the shear angle relative to its base surface, the central axis of which is tilted and sloping to the base surface and to its circles forming cross sections .
  • the straight lines 19 span a plane oriented parallel to the polar axis, which is arranged at right angles to the course of the clamping slot 5.
  • the clamping slot 5 passes through the plane which is spanned by the straight lines 19 which run at an angle to one another, at right angles, the inclined surfaces 8 and the clamping jaws 6 being arranged symmetrically to the clamping slot 5.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A particularly simple embodiment, in which the inclined surfaces 8 on the clamping flange 3 have a convex curvature and consist of such envelopes, is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a convex curvature of the inclined surfaces 8 requires that the opposing counter surfaces 9 of the clamping screw 7 are concave and have the same curvature.
  • An embodiment, not shown, is also possible, in which the inclined surfaces 8 on the clamping jaws 6 are concavely curved and the opposing counter surfaces 9 of the clamping screw 7 are correspondingly curved convexly.
  • stiffening flanges 13 can be provided in the area of the greatest distance between the inclined surfaces 8. 1 shows these stiffening flanges 13 in one possible embodiment, the stiffening flanges 13 continuing the inclined surfaces 8 laterally — approximately parallel to the direction of extension of the clamping slot 5.
  • a projection 16 is arranged on the end region opposite the clamping flange 3 and the region of the clamping slot 5. Approximately parallel to the longitudinal center plane, the projection 16 is laterally delimited by a side web 14 with a receiving opening 15 for connecting a power cable. Between the projection 16 and the bushing 2 of the terminal 1, a connecting web 18 extends on both sides of the longitudinal center plane.
  • the projection 16 has two height-offset planes which extend approximately transversely to the polar axis, two openings 17 being arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane on each plane (Fig.3). These openings 17 serve to receive additional cables. This allows different cables or cable groups for additional Install consumers on the assigned levels clearly and more easily accessible.
  • the clamping jaws 6 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the clamping slot 5, they have the same bending behavior and, when the clamping screw 7 is tightened and the compression caused thereby, lie correspondingly evenly on the battery pole.
  • the clamping screw 7 is advantageously arranged in the direction of the battery pole and the connecting terminal 1 can e.g. mounted or tightened easily accessible by a robot arm. It is possible to avoid the usual installation of connecting terminals to be carried out laterally or transversely to the battery pole, which requires the cost-intensive use of personnel.
  • the connection terminal 1 is used for the detachable fastening of at least one power cable to a cylindrical or slightly conical pole of an accumulator or a rechargeable battery, preferably for motor vehicles. It has two positively locking the pole in the position of use between receiving jaws 6, which can be pushed axially onto the pole in the open position.
  • the clamping jaws 6 can be clamped to the pole by means of a screw 7 extending to the side of the pole and a mating thread or counterpart which is gripped by it.
  • the screw 7 or its shaft 7b or its central axis is oriented towards the pole approximately in the push-on direction of the clamp 1.
  • At least one inclined surface 8 is moved against a counter surface 9, so that the axial adjustment effected by the screw 7 transversely to the closing direction of the clamping brook 6 on the inclined surface 8 can be implemented in an adjustment in the closing direction of the clamping jaws 6.
  • the part to be screwed has the counter surfaces 9.
  • the intersection lines 12 of a plane running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the screw 7 with the inclined surfaces 8 on the clamping jaws 6 are curved, the inclined surfaces 9 of the clamping piece being shaped to be complementarily curved.
