Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une bande de lamelles de contact électrique pour un connecteur électrique, lesdites lamelles étant réunies à leurs extrémités par deux bandes latérales continues, les lamelles étant sorties du plan desdites bandes latérales par torsion autour de leur axe longitudinal, perpendiculaire à la longueur de la bande.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a strip of electrical contact strips for an electrical connector, said connectors slats being joined at their ends by two lateral bands continuous, the lamellae being taken out of the plane of said lateral strips by twist around their longitudinal axis, perpendicular to the length of the bandaged.
Une telle bande de lamelles de contact électrique est utilisée dans un connecteur électrique comportant deux pièces, liées respectivement à l'un et à l'autre des organes à relier électriquement, la bande étant un organe intermédiaire de contact assurant un contact élastique et liée à l'une des deux pièces. Le connecteur peut être plan et comporter deux plaques de contact entre lesquelles est placée la bande, liée à l'une des plaques, ou bien constituer un connecteur cylindrique coaxial comportant une partie mâle et une partie femelle, l'une des deux parties comportant un logement pour la bande.Such a strip of electrical contact strips is used in a electrical connector comprising two parts, respectively linked to one and to the other of the members to be electrically connected, the strip being a member contact intermediary ensuring elastic contact and linked to one of the two pieces. The connector can be flat and include two plates of contact between which the strip is placed, linked to one of the plates, or make a coaxial cylindrical connector with a male part and a female part, one of the two parts comprising a housing for the bandaged.
L'invention s'applique en particulier, bien que non limitativement, pour les contacts de passage de courants permanents dans l'appareillage haute et moyenne tension.The invention applies in particular, although not limited to, for the permanent current passing contacts in the upper switchgear and medium voltage.
Le document FR 2 339 259 décrit, en relation avec les fig. 7, 10 et 11 du document, une bande de lamelles de contact électrique d'un type tel que défini ci-dessus. Dans ce document, la bande de lamelles est en un matériau conducteur électrique ou non conducteur et les lames sont revêtues dans leur partie centrale par une couche d'un matériau électriquement conducteur qui enveloppe les deux bords de chaque lame. On peut donc séparer, grâce à cette disposition, les deux fonctions nécessaires de contact élastique et de bonne conductivité électrique. En effet, le matériau de la bande qui doit assurer un contact élastique à la façon d'un ressort n'a pas nécessairement de bonnes qualités de conductivité électrique. Cependant, la bande de lamelles du document ci-dessus, dont chaque lamelle comporte une couche d'un matériau électriquement conducteur enveloppant les deux bords de la lamelle, n'est pas facile à fabriquer, chaque lamelle devant être individuellement revêtue de sa couche conductrice.The document FR 2 339 259 describes, in relation to FIGS. 7, 10 and 11 of the document, a strip of electrical contact strips of a type such as defined above. In this document, the strip of lamellae is made of a material electrically conductive or non-conductive and the blades are coated in their central part by a layer of an electrically conductive material which wraps the two edges of each blade. So we can separate, thanks in this arrangement, the two necessary functions of elastic contact and of good electrical conductivity. Indeed, the material of the strip which must ensuring elastic contact like a spring does not necessarily good qualities of electrical conductivity. However, the gang of lamellae of the above document, each lamella of which has a layer of an electrically conductive material enveloping the two edges of the lamella, is not easy to manufacture, each lamella must be individually coated with its conductive layer.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un procédé assurant une fabrication simple d'une bande de lamelles de contact électrique.The object of the present invention is to propose a method ensuring simple manufacture of a strip of electrical contact strips.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'une bande de lamelles de contact électrique pour un connecteur électrique, lesdites lamelles étant réunies à leurs extrémités par deux bandes latérales continues, les lamelles étant sorties du plan desdites bandes latérales par torsion autour de leur axe longitudinal, perpendiculaire à la longueur de la bande, caractérisé par le fait que l'on part d'une bande d'un matériau déformable plastiquement et capable, après traitement, d'avoir des propriétés élastiques de ressort, en ce qu'au moins la partie centrale de la bande, sur une seule de ses deux faces, est revêtue d'une couche d'un matériau bon conducteur électrique, ladite bande étant ensuite encochée de façon à obtenir lesdites lamelles et bandes latérales continues, lesdites lamelles étant sorties du plan desdites bandes latérales par ladite torsion, en ce que l'un des bords de chaque lamelle est rabattu en ourlet dans le sens où le revêtement électriquement conducteur reste à l'extérieur, ladite bande étant ensuite soumise à un traitement de durcissement pour lui donner des propriétés élastiques de ressort.The subject of the invention is therefore a method of manufacturing a strip of electrical contact strips for an electrical connector, said connectors slats being joined at their ends by two lateral bands continuous, the lamellae being taken out of the plane of said lateral strips by twist around their longitudinal axis, perpendicular to the length of the strip, characterized in that one starts from a strip of material plastically deformable and capable, after treatment, of having elastic spring properties, in that at least the central part of the strip, on only one of its two faces, is coated with a layer of material which is a good electrical conductor, said strip then being notched with so as to obtain said continuous side strips and strips, said lamellae being taken out of the plane of said lateral strips by said twist, in that one of the edges of each strip is folded up in the direction of the hem where the electrically conductive coating remains outside, said strip then being subjected to a hardening treatment to give it elastic spring properties.
L'invention a aussi pour objet une bande de lamelles de contact électrique pour un connecteur électrique, lesdites lamelles étant réunies à leurs extrémités par deux bandes latérales continues, les lamelles étant sorties du plan desdites bandes latérales par torsion autour de leur axe longitudinal, perpendiculaire à la longueur de la bande, ladite bande étant en un matériau ayant des propriétés élastiques de ressort, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins la partie centrale de chaque lamelle est revêtue sur une seule de ses faces d'un matériau électriquement bon conducteur, et en ce que l'un des bords de chaque lamelle est rabattu en ourlet dans un sens laissant apparaítre le revêtement électriquement bon conducteur à l'extérieur.The invention also relates to a strip of contact strips electrical for an electrical connector, said strips being joined to their ends by two continuous lateral bands, the slats being exits from the plane of said lateral strips by twisting around their axis longitudinal, perpendicular to the length of the strip, said strip being in a material with elastic spring properties, characterized in that at least the central part of each strip is coated on a single of its faces of an electrically good conductive material, and in that one of the edges of each slat is folded into a hem in a direction leaving appear electrically conductive coating on the outside.
On va maintenant donner la description d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention en se reportant au dessin annexé dans lequel :We will now give the description of an example of setting work of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Les fig. 1 à 5 illustrent les étapes du procédé de fabrication d'une bande de lamelles de contact électrique selon l'invention, les fig. 4 et 5 montrant le résultat final.Figs. 1 to 5 illustrate the steps of the process for manufacturing a strip of electrical contact strips according to the invention, FIGS. 4 and 5 showing the end result.
La fig. 6 montre schématiquement un connecteur électrique coaxial cylindrique dans lequel est utilisée une bande de lamelles de contact électrique selon l'invention.Fig. 6 schematically shows a coaxial electrical connector cylindrical in which a strip of contact strips is used electric according to the invention.
La fig. 6 montre très schématiquement un connecteur électrique
coaxial cylindrique comportant une partie femelle 1 et une partie mâle 2 en
matériaux électriquement conducteurs. Une bande intermédiaire 3 de
lamelles de contact électrique est liée à la partie mâle 2. Cette bande
intermédiaire qui doit assurer un bon contact électrique entre les pièces mâle
2 et femelle 1 a en outre pour fonction d'assurer un contact élastique entre
les deux pièces.Fig. 6 very schematically shows an electrical connector
cylindrical coaxial comprising a
Une telle bande 3 de lamelles de contact électrique peut également
être utilisée dans un connecteur électrique plan où les deux pièces 1 et 2
sont alors planes et la bande 3 liée à l'une des deux.Such a
En se reportant maintenant aux fig. 1 à 5, on va décrire le procédé de
fabrication d'une telle bande 3 de lamelles de contact électrique.Referring now to Figs. 1 to 5, we will describe the process of
manufacture of such a
On part, fig. 1, d'une bande 4 d'un matériau déformable plastiquement et capable, après traitement, d'avoir des propriétés élastiques de ressort. On utilise, par exemple, un alliage de béryllium-bronze. Ce matériau peut être adouci par un traitement thermique à 750°C suivi d'une trempe lui donnant une bonne malléabilité.We leave, fig. 1, a strip 4 of a plastically deformable material and capable, after treatment, of having elastic spring properties. We uses, for example, a beryllium-bronze alloy. This material can be softened by a heat treatment at 750 ° C followed by quenching giving it good malleability.
On part donc d'un tel matériau puis, comme montré sur la fig. 2, la
partie centrale de la bande reçoit, sur l'une de ses faces seulement, une
couche 5 d'un matériau bon conducteur électrique. Il s'agit par exemple d'un
placage d'argent. Conformément à la fig. 3, la bande 4 est ensuite encochée
de façon à la découper selon les contours souhaités, laissant apparaítre des
lamelles 6 reliées à leurs extrémités par deux bandes latérales continues 7 et
8, et comportant des languettes 9 utilisées pour la liaison de la bande avec
l'une des parties du connecteur auquel elle est associée.We therefore start from such a material then, as shown in FIG. 2, the
central part of the strip receives, on one of its faces only, a
Les lamelles 6 sont ensuite sorties du plan des bandes latérales 7 et 8
par torsion autour de leur axe longitudinal X perpendiculaire à la longueur L
de la bande. Les bords 10 et 11 de chaque lamelle, comme on le voit fig. 5,
sont également incurvés et surtout l'un des bords, le bord inférieur sur la fig.
5, est complètement rabattu en ourlet 12 comme le montre bien la fig. 5.The
Bien entendu, l'ourlet 12 est rabattu dans le sens où le placage
électriquement bon conducteur 5 reste à l'extérieur de la pliure.Of course, the
Comme le montre également les fig. 4 et 5, et spécialement la fig. 5
qui montre la bande en coupe selon V-V de la fig. 4, les bandes latérales 7 et
8 sont plissées de façon à rapprocher les lamelles 6 les unes des autres et
obtenir ainsi un plus grand nombre de lamelles par unité de longueur de
bande. As also shown in figs. 4 and 5, and especially fig. 5
which shows the strip in section along V-V in fig. 4, the
Lorsque la bande est ainsi placée entre les deux parties conjuguées
d'un connecteur électrique, plan, ou cylindrique comme sur la fig. 6, les
points de contact de chaque lamelle assurant le passage du courant d'une
pièce à l'autre sont figurés en 13 et 14 sur l'une des lamelles 6, fig. 5. Ainsi,
grâce à "l'ourlet" 12, il n'est pas nécessaire de réaliser un placage
enveloppant les bords des lamelles 6 et la fabrication est facilitée puisqu'il
suffit, par tout moyen connu, d'effectuer un placage, fig. 2, sur une seule des
deux faces de la bande originale 4.When the strip is thus placed between the two conjugate parts
an electrical, flat, or cylindrical connector as in fig. 6, the
contact points of each strip ensuring the passage of current from a
part to another are shown in 13 and 14 on one of the
L'encochage et les opérations de mise en forme : torsion, pliures, sont ensuite réalisés très facilement.The notching and shaping operations: twisting, bending, are then made very easily.
Une fois la confection de la bande terminée, il suffit de la soumettre à un traitement lui donnant des propriétés élastiques de ressort.Once the tape is finished, just submit it to a treatment giving it elastic spring properties.
Dans le cas de l'exemple cité d'une bande en alliage de béryllium-bronze, on effectue un traitement de durcissement par traitement thermique à environ 325°C pendant à peu près trois heures.In the case of the example cited of a beryllium-bronze alloy strip, a hardening treatment is carried out by heat treatment at about 325 ° C for about three hours.
Ainsi, l'invention permet de fabriquer d'une manière très simple une bande de lamelles de contact électrique dans laquelle on peut choisir un matériau pour ses qualités mécaniques et d'élasticité, indépendamment de ses qualités de conductivité électrique.Thus, the invention makes it possible to manufacture in a very simple manner a strip of electrical contact strips in which one can choose a material for its mechanical qualities and elasticity, regardless of its electrical conductivity qualities.
