Description

L'invention a trait à un élément de connexion électrique à braser sur une couche conductrice, elle-même placée sur un vitrage (en particulier pour les vitrages d'automobile dotés d'un système de chauffage électrique), élément pourvu d'une cosse prévue pour la jonction brasée, d'un segment de fils tressés constitué d'une tresse plate et flexible et enfin d'un connecteur placé à l'extrémité du segment de fils tressés. The invention relates to an electrical connection element to be soldered on a conductive layer, itself placed on a glazing (in particular for automotive glazing with electric heating), element provided with a terminal intended for the brazed junction, with a segment of wires braided consisting of a flat and flexible braid and finally a connector placed at the end of the segment of braided threads.

Les éléments de connexion électrique de ce type sont largement employés avec les lunettes arrière d'automobile dotées d'un système de chauffage, pour lesquelles les résistances chauffantes sont posées, sous la forme d'une pâte à cuire, sur la surface du verre, au moyen d'un procédé sérigraphique pour être cuites, par la suite, à la température de bombage et de trempe des vitres. Des bandes collectrices, sur lesquelles la cosse des éléments de connexion électrique est brasée après la cuisson, sont installées en même temps, lors de la pose de ces filaments chauffants. The electrical connection elements of this type are widely employees with automobile rear windows with heating, for which the heating resistors are installed, under the forms a baking paste, on the surface of the glass, using a process screen-printed for subsequent baking at bending and tempering of windows. Collector strips, on which the terminal of electrical connection elements is soldered after cooking, are installed at the same time, when laying these heating filaments.

En ce qui concerne l'un des éléments de connexion électrique décrits dans le brevet EP 047769 B1, la cosse à braser est constituée d'une pièce métallique, dont la partie centrale est coudée et soudée à l'extrémité des fils tressés. Le connecteur situé à l'extrémité libre du segment de fils tressés est, quant à lui, un connecteur plat, sur lequel est appliqué, lors du branchement sur le système d'alimentation électrique, un connecteur plat complémentaire. Regarding one of the electrical connection elements described in patent EP 047769 B1, the solder terminal is made up of one piece metallic, the central part of which is bent and welded at the end of the wires braided. The connector located at the free end of the braided wire segment is,   meanwhile, a flat connector, to which is applied, when connecting on the power supply system, a complementary flat connector.

Pour un autre élément de connexion électrique conforme, évoqué dans le brevet EP 0374648 B1, une extrémité du segment de fils tressés, qui est constitué d'une tresse plate, est séparée au milieu, dans le sens de la longueur, formant la cosse à braser, et les deux bras ainsi créés sont recourbés dans des directions opposées et orthogonales au segment de fils. Ainsi naissent deux extrémités de joint à braser, qui servent en tant que telles au brasage du segment de fils tressés. Un connecteur plat, sous la forme d'une patte de fixation, est prévu, pour ce modèle également, à l'autre extrémité du segment de fils tressés. For another compliant electrical connection element, mentioned in the EP 0374648 B1, one end of the segment of braided son, which is consisting of a flat braid, is separated in the middle, in the direction of the length, forming the solder terminal, and the two arms thus created are bent in opposite directions and orthogonal to the wire segment. Thus are born two ends of solder joint, which serve as such soldering the braided wire segment. A flat connector, in the form a mounting lug is provided, for this model also, to the other end of the braided wire segment.

Il peut toutefois être intéressant d'utiliser des fiches de contact rondes à la place des connecteurs plats. Pour ces fiches de contact rondes, en effet, la fixation sur le segment de fils tressés, fixation conductrice d'électricité, se fait en général au moyen d'une connexion par sertissage au pied de la fiche de connecteur. L'élément de connexion par sertissage est constitué, en temps normal, d'une pièce métallique recourbée, dont les sections déformables entourent l'extrémité du segment de fils tressés, cette même extrêmité de fils étant alors sertie entre ces sections. Néanmoins, ces éléments de connexion par sertissage ne conviennent pas pour la connexion avec une tresse plate, si bien que, jusqu'à présent, seuls les câbles ronds usuels étaient utilisables avec des fiches de contact rondes. It can however be interesting to use round contact cards to instead of flat connectors. For these round contact cards, in fact, the attachment to the braided wire segment, electrical conductive attachment, is done usually by means of a crimp connection at the foot of the plug connector. The connection element by crimping consists, in time normal, of a curved metal part, whose deformable sections surround the end of the segment of braided wires, this same end of wires then being crimped between these sections. However, these connection elements by crimping are not suitable for connection with a flat braid, if although, until now, only the usual round cables were usable with round contact cards.

Néanmoins, les éléments de connexion électrique du type décrit au début, dotés d'un segment de fils tressés ayant la forme d'un câble rond, présentent, eux aussi, différents inconvénients. Tout d'abord, pour ce qui est des tresses rondes, une soudure efficace entre le câble et la cosse à braser ne peut être réalisée avec les mesures nécessaires de sécurité de fabrication. En effet, la tresse ronde doit avant tout être élargie, avant ou pendant le soudage, celui-ci provoquant une déformation incontrôlée du faisceau de fils du câble. Ces irrégularités amènent occasionnellement des difficultés lors du soudage avec la cosse. En outre, les robots de brasage que l'on utilise pour braser les éléments de connexion électrique sur la feuille de verre ne sont tout simplement pas adaptés au traitement d'éléments de connexion électrique dotés d'un câble rond. Et enfin, ces câbles ronds présentent, pour la même section globale - qui doit être forte en proportion, en raison de la présence d'un courant électrique relativement puissant lors du fonctionnement des vitres chauffantes - une rigidité considérablement supérieure à celle des tresses plates, ce qui est source de problèmes lorsque l'on travaille les éléments de connexion électrique, ainsi que plus tard, lors du branchement de la vitre chauffante sur l'alimentation électrique du véhicule. However, the electrical connection elements of the type described at the start, with a segment of braided wires in the form of a round cable, have, they also have different disadvantages. First of all, with regard to braids round, an effective weld between the cable and the solder terminal cannot be carried out with the necessary manufacturing safety measures. Indeed, the first of all, the round braid must be widened, before or during the welding process. causing an uncontrolled deformation of the wire harness of the cable. These irregularities occasionally cause difficulties when welding with the pod. In addition, the soldering robots that are used to braze the elements of electrical connection on the glass sheet just are not suitable for processing electrical connection elements provided with a cable   round. And finally, these round cables present, for the same overall section - which must be strong in proportion, due to the presence of an electric current relatively powerful when operating the heated windows - a considerably greater rigidity than flat braids, which is source of problems when working the connection elements electric, as well as later, when connecting the heated glass to vehicle power supply.

L'invention a donc pour objectif de réaliser un élément de connexion électrique, du type décrit précédemment, qui soit pourvu d'une fiche de contact ronde tout en conservant un segment de fils tressés ayant la forme d'une tresse plate et flexible. The object of the invention is therefore to produce a connection element electric, of the type described above, which is provided with a plug round contact while retaining a segment of braided wires having the shape a flat and flexible braid.

L'élément de connexion électrique conforme à l'invention se distingue en ce que le connecteur, notamment la fiche de contact, est pourvu d'un raccord et en ce qu'un réducteur métallique, qui est soudé ou brasé sur l'extrémité des fils tressés et dont la partie avant, réduite en largeur, est reliée au raccord par une étroite languette, est disposé entre le segment de fils tressés et ce même raccord. The electrical connection element according to the invention is distinguished by that the connector, in particular the contact plug, is provided with a connector and in that a metallic reducer, which is welded or brazed on the end of the braided wires, the front part of which, reduced in width, is connected to the fitting by a narrow tab is placed between the segment of braided threads and this same connection.

Il est préférable de façonner le raccord de la fiche de contact de façon à permettre une connexion par sertissage, le raccord étant écrasé par déformation plastique sur l'étroite languette du réducteur. It is preferable to shape the contact plug fitting so that allow connection by crimping, the fitting being crushed by deformation plastic on the narrow tab of the reducer.

Les différents alinéas de revendication et la description ci-dessous, étayée par la représentation en perspective d'un modèle particulièrement apprécié, évoquent d'autres caractéristiques propres à l'élément de connexion électrique conforme à l'invention. The various claim paragraphs and the description below, supported by the perspective representation of a particularly appreciated model, evoke other characteristics specific to the electrical connection element according to the invention.

Le segment flexible de fils tressés 1 provient d'une tresse de cuivre plate et pouvant être constituée de fils couverts d'étain. Il possède une section rectangulaire, avec une largeur de 6 mm et une épaisseur de 0,8 mm. Une cosse à braser rigide 3, faite d'une pièce de cuivre, est fixée, ou soudée dans certains cas, à l'extrémité 2 de ce segment 1, par exemple au moyen du soudage ultrasonique. Cette cosse 3 sera de préférence une pièce de cuivre argenté épaisse de 0,8 mm. Sa longueur L peut être d'environ 25 mm et sa largeur B de 4 mm. La partie centrale 4 de la cosse est coudée vers le haut et forme ainsi un segment de liaison, en forme de pont, entre les deux segments 5 de la cosse, dont les surfaces inférieures sont brasées sur la couche conductrice de la vitre. Un réducteur 9 est fixé à l'autre extrémité 8 du segment de fils tressés 1, et ce de façon appropriée, au moyen du soudage ultrasonique également. Ce réducteur 9 peut aussi se constituer d'une pièce de cuivre de 0,8 mm d'épaisseur et être couvert d'argent. Il aura de préférence, sur l'extrémité 8 reliée au segment de fils tressés 1, la même largeur que ce segment de fils. Sa largeur diminuera ensuite jusqu'à l'autre extrémité et il formera une étroite languette 10, pouvant avoir 2 mm de large.
La fiche de contact 12 est placée à l'intérieur d'un tube isolant 13 et reliée à un connecteur de couplage correspondant lors du branchement sur le système d'alimentation électrique du véhicule. La construction de la fiche 12 et du tube 13, ainsi que le positionnement et la fixation de la fiche 12 dans ce même tube 13 peuvent prendre des formes radicalement différentes et ne sont pas l'objet de l'invention. The flexible segment of braided wires 1 comes from a flat copper braid and may consist of wires covered with tin. It has a rectangular section, with a width of 6 mm and a thickness of 0.8 mm. A rigid brazing lug 3, made of a piece of copper, is fixed, or welded in certain cases, to the end 2 of this segment 1, for example by means of ultrasonic welding. This terminal 3 will preferably be a piece of silvery copper 0.8 mm thick. Its length L can be approximately 25 mm and its width B 4 mm. The central part 4 of the terminal is bent upwards and thus forms a connecting segment, in the form of a bridge, between the two segments 5 of the terminal, the lower surfaces of which are soldered to the conductive layer of the glass. A reduction gear 9 is fixed to the other end 8 of the braided wire segment 1, and this in an appropriate manner, also by means of ultrasonic welding. This reducer 9 can also consist of a piece of copper 0.8 mm thick and be covered with silver. It will preferably have, on the end 8 connected to the segment of braided wires 1, the same width as this segment of wires. Its width will then decrease to the other end and it will form a narrow tongue 10, which can be 2 mm wide.
The contact plug 12 is placed inside an insulating tube 13 and connected to a corresponding coupling connector when connected to the vehicle's power supply system. The construction of the plug 12 and of the tube 13, as well as the positioning and the fixing of the plug 12 in this same tube 13 can take radically different forms and are not the object of the invention.

La fiche de contact 12 est pourvue, sur son extrémité arrière, d'un raccord de connexion par sertissage 15. Ce raccord de connexion par sertissage (ou pressage) 15 est constitué dans le cas présenté d'une mince pièce de métal et présente deux sections courbes 16 qui sont pliées l'une contre l'autre, de façon à entourer la languette 10, et sont jointes par pressage à cette languette 10 au moyen d'un instrument approprié. The contact plug 12 is provided on its rear end with a connection fitting by crimping 15. This connection fitting by crimping (or pressing) 15 consists in the case presented of a thin piece of metal and has two curved sections 16 which are folded one against each other, so as to surround the tongue 10, and are joined by pressing to this tongue 10 by means of an appropriate instrument.

Le segment de fils tressés 1 est enveloppé, de la façon connue par une gaine isolante 18 qui est déposée par exemple par un procédé thermique sur ce segment 1. Cette gaine 18 recouvre aussi le réducteur 9 et, au moins en partie, la connexion par sertissage 15. Elle continue ainsi jusque dans le tube isolant 13, si bien que l'ensemble de l'élément de connexion électrique, à l'exception de la cosse rigide 3, est totalement isolé électriquement. The braided wire segment 1 is wrapped, in the known manner by a insulating sheath 18 which is deposited for example by a thermal process on this segment 1. This sheath 18 also covers the reducer 9 and, at least in part, the connection by crimping 15. It thus continues into the tube insulator 13, so that the entire electrical connection element, with the exception of the rigid terminal 3, is completely electrically insulated.
