Definitions

  • the invention relates to a battery cable clamp with the features of The preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing such Cable clamp.
  • Such a cable clamp and a method for its production is from WO 95/21454 A known.
  • the two clamping parts have a cylindrical one Surface.
  • This has various disadvantages. On the one hand there is the contact force dependent on the manufacturing tolerances of the two clamping parts and not exactly definable.
  • This has the disadvantage of dimensioning the auxiliary drive in such a way that given sufficient effectiveness under extreme conditions is.
  • As the auxiliary drive usually carried out with the help of a detonator This results in a relatively high explosiveness of the detonator with the problem of one Possibly false triggering, for example during a repair in the engine compartment, a Exclude a human health hazard safely. It follows a considerable effort for, for example, a protective cover and a relatively large associated additional weight of the entire cable clamp.
  • the invention has for its object a battery cable clamp of the beginning to create the type mentioned, in which the separation of the two clamping parts from each other in a defined manner and with a minimal squeezing force of the auxiliary drive takes place and also to create a process in which these effects display with little manufacturing effort.
  • the invention solves this problem for the battery cable clamp of the type mentioned kind with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 and for the manufacturing process with the features of the characterizing part of the claim 9.
  • cone cone seat
  • a conical seat is problem-free in terms of production technology, since possible manufacturing tolerances largely due to the surface structure be balanced.
  • the clamping force can be easily monitor during the entire joining process and thus also the breakaway force set in a defined ratio to the maximum clamping force.
  • the breakaway force is usually generated with the help of an explosive. Its amount can be relatively small since it is only necessary to overcome the breakaway force. Due to the resulting relative movement is quick and safe the contact separation ensures.
  • Optimal control of the contact force and the breakaway force can be achieved by achieve a number of different measures. So the two cone angles be almost identical. In contrast to a relative difference The two cone angles thus result in a contact surface between the two Clamping parts over their entire interconnected surface given is.
  • the contact areas can additionally be surface-treated, for example surface-coated by tinning and / or glued together his.
  • the adhesive can be designed so that it only during the joining process takes effect.
  • the adhesive strength can also depend on the press-in force. This results in a long-term stability and practically over the entire term the clamping connection of the two clamping parts does not change in their squeezing force.
  • the Recoil force past the battery pole, for example at an oblique angle to the outgoing direction the cable clamp.
  • the clamping parts with a insulating protective cover. This is used especially for electrical Insulation. It can also serve the two clamping parts according to their Keep separation at a defined distance from each other. For this purpose, the wrapping be open in the direction of movement of one clamping part. It can also Have locking means for the clamping part removed from the other clamping part. Through this Latching means on the one hand limits the movement of the clamping part and brings it closer again and thus prevents contact between the two clamping parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows a battery cable clamp (hereinafter referred to as SBK) 1, which is essentially from a known version of a clamp 8 for attachment a battery pole 8 'is used.
  • the SBK 1 also has two clamping parts 2 and 4, the held in an electrically conductive connection by a press fit on their contact surface 7 are.
  • An auxiliary drive in the form of a detonator capsule 3 is also provided, which is held in the clamping part 2.
  • the clamping part 4 with a battery line 5 connected.
  • the outgoing direction of the battery cable 5 is parallel and aligned with the outgoing direction of the battery terminal 8 from the battery pole 8. Otherwise, parts with the same function have the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1 provided.
  • the embodiments of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 have in common that at The auxiliary drive (detonator capsule 3) becomes effective when the Battery cable 5 recoil occurring in the direction of the arrow is directed past the battery terminal 8 on the stationary clamping part 2. Thereby there is no damage to the battery pole 8 'and thus the connected vehicle battery.
  • the conicity of the clamping part 4 and the corresponding is essential for the invention Characterization of the contact surface in the clamping part 2 as a conical seat.
  • the cone angle 10a of the two contact surfaces which are electrically connected to one another are approximately the same and have a value of max. 5, here preferably represents about 2.5 °. This creates a self-locking in the manufacture of the Clamping connection reached the two clamping parts 2 and 4.
  • the injection of the Clamping part 4 in the clamping part 2 is force-controlled with a value of, for example 3500 N. Manufacturing tolerances are largely in this way balanced. It is important that the manufacturing process itself is the parallelism between the cone angle 10 and the cone angle 10a ensures.
  • the surface of the clamping part 4 and / or the surface of the cone in the clamping part 2 e.g. finished with tin (11).
  • the tin surface has the property that when Join the tin in any production-related grooves, reefs, depressions and angular deviations flow and is cold welded on site. In this way can be a positive, gas-tight connection 12 (Fig. 4) over the entire Generate cone / cone surface.
  • adhesive for example as an adhesive ring 25 is applied to the clamping part 4.
  • they become adhesive materials used only under pressure, i.e. during and after the press fit has been produced Harden.
  • a suitable choice of the adhesive material allows any Set holding forces. The holding force of the glue point is adjusted so that the Total force from the holding force of the press fit and the holding force of the glue point below the force that comes with the detonator 3 when it is triggered is applied.
  • the detonator capsule 3 In the triggered state, the detonator capsule 3 generates a gas that enters the pre-volume 6 arrives and generates an extrusion force for the clamping part 4. This will be out pressed into its clamp seat and takes, for example, the position shown in Fig. 5 on. This is the electrical connection between the clamping parts 2 and 4 interrupted. Due to the conical seat, the clamping part 4 is ejected with moderate dynamics. This is justified by the fact that after the first Breaking off the cone connection creates a very large air gap 17, which leads to the instantaneous pressure drop and thus not the battery line 5 greatly accelerated. Furthermore, the recoil force on the battery pole 8 'in the case of Tripping low. Damage to the battery pole 8 'which impairs the function can thus be avoided.
  • the clamping part 2 with pressed-in clamping part 4 is in one Plastic part 18 clipped in (FIG. 6), which fulfills two functions:
  • the path 19, which the clamping part 4 travels is limited (Fig. 7). At the same time is a spring back and thus repeated contact by locking elements 20 the line 5 with the battery pole 8 'prevented.
  • the plastic part 18 met additionally the function of a touch protection.
  • the clamping part 4 moves under the effect of the gas developed in the detonator capsule 3 in FIG. 7 to the right until a Collar 4 'of the clamping part 4 strikes at the rear end of the plastic part 18. This takes place after covering the path 19.
  • the detonator 3 is ignited expediently with the aid of an airbag control unit or not shown another suitable trigger control (e.g. short-circuit current measurement).
  • the locking elements 20 are effective and prevent the clamping part 4 from moving again in the direction of the clamping part 2 emotional. So that is the connection between the battery cable 5 and the battery pole 8 'permanently interrupted.
  • the plastic part 18 has a Provide predetermined breaking point 22 and with the clamping part 2 via circumferential ring grooves 23 locked. During the separation process, the plastic part 18 'comes loose at the predetermined breaking point 22, the battery cable with clamping part 4 fall off. Another contact is thus prevented.
  • Installation geometries may require that the separation mechanism (Detonator capsule 3 and cone seat 10/11) not directly attached to the battery terminal 8 is that it is part of the battery cable. This results in universal application.
  • the separation mechanism (Detonator capsule 3 and cone seat 10/11) not directly attached to the battery terminal 8 is that it is part of the battery cable. This results in universal application.
  • the integration into the battery line 5 changes nothing about the execution of the connection point. Only the clamping part 2 is not connected to the battery terminal 8, but also as a line connector executed.
