Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for transmitting electrical signals and / or energy between mutually movable units by means of a sliding contact arrangement.
- Sliding contacts are preferably used for the transmission of electrical signals between units that move relative to one another. These are also known under the name of grinding tracks in the case of a linear movement or slip rings in the case of a circular movement.
- Such mechanical contact systems are characterized by simplicity and high robustness. Different contact pairs are available for a wide range of applications, depending on the environmental conditions of the contact speed and the electrical signals. If a long service life is required at high speeds or high speeds in the case of slip rings, contact pairs are used almost exclusively, in which at least one partner contains a combination of silver and graphite. The silver mainly acts as a mediator for good contact and the graphite for lubrication. As experiments have shown, such a silver-graphite brush can achieve excellent signal quality on a full silver track. Contact resistance and contact noise are particularly long-term stable and low. The disadvantage of this arrangement is the high cost. These have a particular effect on large slip rings or slideway arrangements, since the slideways must be made of solid silver. If a cheaper contact material, such as brass or copper, is used for cost reasons, the transmission properties will be significantly impaired. The contact resistances and the contact noise can be up to two orders of magnitude worse than in the silver arrangement.
- a known method for solving this problem is the use of solid brass sheets, which are provided with a silver contact surface. Silvering can take place here by mechanical application of a silver layer or else electrochemical treatment. The disadvantage of such an arrangement is the relatively thin silver coating. This can be worn away in a short time with heavy use, the remaining brass sheet then has very poor transmission properties.
- the transmission properties of such sliding contacts are usually characterized by a number of electrical parameters.
- the contact resistance is particularly important when transmitting large currents. This should be very low, preferably in the range of a few m ⁇ .
- Contact noise is also important for smaller signal levels, such as those that occur with measurement and sensor signals. Such noise occurs during the movement of the contacts due to mechanical vibrations, changing the contact point and additional borrowed from small arcs that can burn between the two contact electrodes. Low contact noise is particularly important for good signal quality.
- the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for transmitting electrical signals and / or energy between mutually movable units by means of galvanic contacts and in particular a sliding contact arrangement, which on the one hand offers a long service life and reliability, even at high contact speeds, and on the other hand offers excellent signal transmission quality.
- At least one of the contacts has a base material with high mechanical stability, in which a second material is embedded, which has good electrical properties with regard to the transmission of electrical signals and / or energy.
- the second material is distributed in the base material such that at least one further contact touching this contact is in contact with the second material on most of the trajectory of the movement.
- the invention thus combines the advantages of two different contact materials, such as steel, brass or copper and silver.
- the base material which is abrasion-resistant and inexpensive, serves as the carrier of the arrangement and the second material, which has good electrical properties, as the contacting material al. Through this a particularly high transition quality can be achieved.
- the contact consisting of a base material with embedded second material can be a sliding track, for example a slip ring, or a contact brush.
- the second material can be dispersed in the surface of the base material; alternatively or additionally, the base material can have at least one recess in which the second material is embedded.
- This cutout can be, in particular, a dovetail-shaped groove, since the form-fit thus results in a particularly good connection between the two materials.
- the recess extends at least in sections at an angle to the grinding direction and in particular in an undulating manner.
- the second material can be in the form of several islands, i.e. externally separated contact areas, or embedded in the form of a web in the base material.
- the recess varies in its course or in its shape perpendicular to the grinding direction in such a way that traces of the second material are rubbed into the base material by touching the sliding contact connection.
- the smallest particles of the second material with the good electrical properties are rubbed into the surface of the base material, ie the solid contact path, and remain embedded in the surface as a highly conductive coating.
- the contact noise and the contact resistance of the entire arrangement are significantly improved.
- the second material is selected so that it is softer than the base material. This makes it particularly easy to insert into the surface of this material.
- At least one contact element is mounted with play perpendicular to a main grinding direction. Due to the small additional movements of the brush transversely or obliquely to the main axis of movement, the second contact material can be better distributed over the contact path from the base material. This can be done in a particularly simple manner by means of suspension or storage with high tolerances that permit a stroke or a bearing play. Of course, this can also be done by specifically controlling the movement, by guiding the contacts following a predetermined trajectory.
- the path of the second material is designed in a shape that deviates from the main path of movement of the arrangement. This can be a spiral path, for example.
- a brush which preferably contains a conductive material and a lubricating material and a contact track made of a preferably highly conductive material makes no difference whether these components are interchanged, ie a brush made of an electrically highly conductive material on a contact path, which is a combination of a conductive and a lubricating material such as silver and graphite.
- the arrangement according to the invention would apply to the brush, which now contains two differently conductive materials.
- Fig. 1 shows an arrangement according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows an arrangement with a wavy path of the second contact material
- FIG. 1 shows an arrangement according to the invention, consisting of a first contact partner which on the one hand contains a base material or a first material (1) with good mechanical properties and a small amount of a second material (2) with good electrical properties.
- the second material is located in a groove designed as a dovetail.
- a second contact partner (3) which can be, for example, a brush consisting of silver and graphite, is included.
- the brush is made of silver and graphite or the track itself is made of such a material and a brush is made from the contact partners described above.
- Fig. 2 shows an arrangement consisting of a first contact material (1) and a web of a second contact material (2), which is laid in a wave shape in this, so that a better distribution of this contact material in the entire surface, in particular the first material ( 1) results.
