Definitions
- the invention relates to a battery terminal with which a usually conical, lead contact battery contact can be contacted.
- the most common battery clamp consists of a contact clamp that is attached to the Battery contact attached and then pulled together using a screw becomes.
- a disadvantage of this type of battery clamp is that it is actually attached Contact force can only be monitored insufficiently. On the one hand there is a risk that by tightening the screw with a wrench a much higher tightening torque and therefore a very much higher contact force is applied than is actually necessary. To the others there is a risk that if the battery terminal at one already deformed battery contact is used, the contact clamp from the Screw is pulled on block, so that a high tightening torque for the Screw is obtained, but not with the lower one actually achieved Contact force matches.
- the object of the invention is to provide a battery terminal that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time is reliable, that is can be assembled with great certainty both manually and automatically, without incorrect assembly.
- a battery terminal with a Connection tab, a contact ring which is provided with a slot, so that two opposing terminal ends are formed, each with one bent tab are provided, each having a slope, one Spring that engages the terminal ends of the contact ring and a locking wedge, which is arranged between the tabs of the clamping ends and between one Mounting position in which he keeps the clamping ends of the contact ring spread, and a contact position is adjustable, in which he releases the clamping ends, so that the Spring can pull the clamp ends together.
- each tab is with a Provide locking edge.
- the locking wedge can be supported on this locking edge, if it is in the assembly position in which the clamping ends of the contact ring be kept spread. This way is a comparative one high actuation force required to pull the locking wedge over the locking edge move away and get into the clamped position; this ensures that an unintentional transfer of the battery terminal from the mounting position is prevented in the contact position.
- the high actuation force to be applied also leads to an advantageous way of mounting the battery clamp. If the locking edge is sharp-edged, as is preferred, the locking wedge cannot be pushed over the locking edge by a mere pressure be pushed away. This is only possible if the clamping ends have been used beforehand were slightly spread.
- the Locking wedge is connected to a pivotably attached cover cap.
- the Cover cap serves both as protection for the battery terminal and as an assembly aid. This is because the cover cap offers a suitable pressure area in order to Hand to be able to apply the required placement force.
- the one on the cover cap Exerted pressure force also serves to remove the locking wedge from the assembly position to transfer to the contact position. Since putting on the battery clamp and the subsequent locking by transferring the locking wedge the assembly position in the contact position is in one direction, the assembly can be easily automated. Also manual assembly does not cause any problems, since it only results from pressing the There is a battery clamp on the battery contact. In both cases, that represents jerky overcoming of the locking edge by the locking wedge both at automated assembly as well as manual assembly noticeable indicator that the assembly has been successfully completed.
- a lever is preferably mounted on the cover cap, by means of which the Locking wedge can be brought into the mounting position via the cover cap.
- the lever only has to be positioned upwards from the battery contact if it is suitably stored be lifted away, thereby both transferring the contact ring from the contact position to the mounting position as well as lifting the Battery clamp from the battery contact by means of one movement in one Direction is obtained.
- An eccentric can also be used as an alternative to the lever be used, the tabs of the contact ring by a rotary movement can spread and release again.
- the lever attached to the cover cap can have two wings be that can be supported on the cover cap. That way prevents the battery terminal from being pressed onto the battery contact, when a force is applied to the lever, the lever becomes excessively wide pushed through. Furthermore, the wings can be advantageous when attaching the Lever on the cover cap can be used. The wings provide support of the lever on the cover cap, so that by pressing on the lever one side of these with bearing pins formed on its other side into one Bearing can be snapped onto the cover cap.
- the contact ring is open knurled on the inside. This ensures a reliable Fit the contact ring on the conical battery contact so that the contact ring cannot "swim away" upwards.
- the battery clamp according to the invention has a central component Contact ring 10, which is provided with a connecting tab 12.
- the connection tab is used to contact any conductor connected to a battery contact to be connected.
- the contact ring 10 is designed with a slot, so that two opposite clamping ends 14 are formed, the are each provided with a tab 16.
- Each tab 16 is with a slope 18 and a recess 20 provided. At the transition between the slope 18 and the tab 16 is formed a locking edge 19 which is about 0.3 to 0.5 mm protrudes.
- the component consisting of the contact ring 10 with the tabs 16 and the Connection bracket 12 is a one-piece sheet metal bent part with a wall thickness of about 1.5 to 1.8 mm.
- the contact ring 10 is bent so that it to the conical shape of the battery contact to be connected is adapted.
- a spring 22 engages on the tabs 16 of the contact ring 10. which tries to compress the tabs 16. To prevent the spring from slipping To prevent 22, this is provided with two lugs, which in the recesses 20 engage the tabs 16.
- the battery clamp is provided with a cover cap 24 (see in particular FIG. 1) provided which covers the contact ring 10 and is pivotable Notches 26 of the connecting tab 12 is mounted.
- the cap 24 is with provided a locking wedge 28 which is integrally connected to the by a material web 30 Cover cap 24 formed and between the two with the bevels 18th provided tabs 16 of the contact ring 10 is arranged.
- In the contact position is the locking wedge in an area between the two slopes 18, in which he doesn't touch them.
- the two tabs 16 of the Spring 22 are contracted.
- In the assembly position is the Locking wedge 28 between the two tabs 16 above the two slopes 18, wherein it rests on the locking edge 19, which prevents it from accidentally in the contact position arrives.
- the battery clamp according to the invention is assembled in the following Way: In the delivery state, the battery clamp is in the assembly position, in which the locking wedge 28 spreads the two tabs 16 apart, whereby the contact ring 10 is spread. In this condition, the battery clamp either by hand or by an assembly robot on the to be connected conical battery contact. This happens through Exerting a compressive force on the cover cap 24. That on the cover cap 24 The force exerted is on the one hand via the notches 26 and on the other hand over the material web 30 and the abutting on the locking edges 19 Transfer locking wedge 28 to the contact ring 10.
- the cover cap is released by the lever 32 on its outer, free end is raised. This causes the cap to over the Bearing pins 34 are lifted off the contact ring 10, as a result of which the locking wedge 28 between the two bevels 18 through to the locking edge 19 is pulled. In this state, the contact ring 10 is spread again, so that the battery clamp by pulling the lever 32 further from the battery contact can be removed.
- a particular advantage of the battery clamp according to the invention is that assembly and disassembly in only one direction of movement. All that is required for assembly is a pressure force on the cover cap 24 of the battery terminal exercise. This pressure force first ensures that the contact ring is firmly pressed onto the battery contact to be connected. It follows already a surface contact between the battery contact and the contact ring. Only when the contact force achieved exceeds a certain value which can be adjusted by the height of the locking edges 19 is a Transfer the battery clamp from the mounting position to the contact position possible. This is done after releasing the locking wedge 28 by the same pressure force, which now moves the locking wedge into an area in which it is no longer attacks the tabs and the slopes. With this assembly method results there is also a high level of process reliability. The sliding over of the locking wedge 28 over the locking edges 19 is both in a manual assembly as well an automated assembly can be reliably detected and provides an indication that the battery clamp is securely engaged on the battery contact.
- the battery clamp is also dismantled along a single actuation direction. All that is required is a pulling force on the lever 32 in one direction be exercised away from the battery contact. This traction transferred first the battery clamp from the contact position to the mounting position and then pulls the battery terminal off the battery contact.
