Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing an electrical plug pin which can be inserted into a mains socket and which has an electrically conductive core with a contact region for electrically contacting the mains socket and a connection region for contacting an electrical component.
  • Such pins such as those from the DE 41 41 726 C1 are known, according to the prior art, metallic turned parts, which are used both in electrical power plugs as well as in power supply for contacting the power outlet.
  • plug-in power supplies such as power adapters to power electrical appliances with a low voltage or plug chargers.
  • plug-in power supply units consist of a housing which contains the electrical assembly, which is required for the power supply of a connectable via a cable electrical device, or which is required to charge plug-in batteries, and at least one arranged on the housing pin, which in the power outlet can be inserted and connected to a holding the electrical assembly circuit board.
  • Such a power supply for supplying electrical equipment with a low voltage is from the DE 43 22 087 C2 known.
  • FIG FIG. 6 Another example of such a contact spring 111 is shown in FIG. 6 shown.
  • the associated in the Figures 5 and 7 Conventional so-called Euro plugs 110 are usually manufactured as a turned part and have a contact region 112 for electrically contacting the power socket, an insulated region 116 in which the plug pin 110 is surrounded by an insulating sheath, and a connection region 114 which is connected to the contact spring 111 , on.
  • the insulated area 116 has a knurl 117 which serves to anchor securely in the insulating sheath.
  • a circumferential detent projection 128 in the connection region 114 cooperates with spring projections 126 on the contact spring 111 such that the connector pin 110 is mechanically secured in the contact spring 111.
  • British patent specification GB 937 579 A discloses a method for the production of wire-wrap pins, in which first a metal plate is patterned with corresponding projections by means of an extrusion method and this is subsequently cut by means of a sawing technique into individual connector pins with a rectangular cross-section.
  • the design of the pins according to this document with sharp edges is important so that the pin can be used as a wire-wrap pin, as on a rounded cross-section of the wire can not be fixed.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift DE 32 02 747 A1 discloses a power plug with plug pins, which are constructed as usual European plug pins and mounted in a base body, which allows easier installation of the plug.
  • French patent application FR 1 386 635 A discloses electrical connectors for wire-wrap connections made by sheet metal stamping and bending.
  • the British Patent Application GB 2 186 747 A discloses the production of plug pins with rectangular cross-section, which have a recess which is filled with an insulator.
  • the recess is made by a machining process.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift DE 38 40 140 A1 discloses a plug pin for electrical connector, which is provided with an annular groove and a surface roughening, here a knurling.
  • British patent specification GB 818,006 discloses a method for producing extruded wire connector pins by means of a cold forging method. A subsequent post-processing step is used to remove the burrs generated during forging.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved manufacturing method of a male pin, whereby the production of such connector pins and thus also the power plug and plug power supplies containing it is simplified and cheapened.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a substantially simplified production process can be achieved by replacing the rotation as a production method for such connector pins.
  • the fact that it is a non-cutting production process no waste, but the raw material can be used to 100%.
  • Extrusion is a faster process than turning because, depending on the size and intensity, up to 1000 parts per minute are possible, and it can Thus, the production can be significantly accelerated.
  • the pin is made in a non-forming technique, the material is compacted and the pin has improved tensile strength over similarly shaped turned parts.
  • the production by the extrusion process has the advantage that the production tools are worn much less heavily during production than when turning.
  • the electrically conductive core has an insulated region between the contact region and the connection region, in which region it is surrounded by an electrically insulating sheath, preferably a plastic sheath.
  • the electrical core can be secured against twisting in the electrically insulating sheath in a particularly simple and inexpensive manner (so-called anti-rotation protection).
  • this knurl is integrated into the extrusion process.
  • a knurl of the knurl which can be produced particularly well by the extrusion process is a knurl with axially parallel grooves according to DIN 82 RAA.
  • the terminal portion has a circumferential latching projection over which the connector pin can be latched with a contact spring of the electrical component comprises.
  • this locking projection can be attached by transverse rollers to the electrically conductive core.
  • the advantageous properties of the plug pin according to the invention can be used particularly effectively in an electrical power plug, in which the electrical component is correspondingly an electrical connection cable.
  • a power plug can be designed, for example, to the European standard, but can also correspond to any other country standard.
  • the advantageous properties of the electrical connector pin according to the invention can also be effective in a plug-in power supply, in which the electrical component is a printed circuit board with an electrical assembly use.
  • connection region is made so that it can be directly connected to a direct contacting of the printed circuit board, then additional parts, such as the conventional contact spring, can be dispensed with. This simplifies the manufacturing process and saves material. The fact that the contact spring is eliminated, also increases the safety of the electrical connection, for example, in harsh environmental conditions with respect to temperature or mechanical stress.
  • connection region of the plug pin is designed U-shaped and the printed circuit board is embraced in the inserted state so that it is electrically contacted.
  • the contact region and a cylindrical shaft of the electrically conductive core connected thereto are produced by means of an extrusion process.
  • extrusion molding a blank or billet in a die is reshaped by a die which exerts the high pressure necessary for the flow and forms the caliber together with the die walls.
  • This method has the advantage that the raw material is used to 100% and no waste is generated, that the process is much faster than the conventional turning, because depending on the forming intensity up to 1000 parts per minute can be produced, and that the pull-out protection and the anti-rotation can be integrated into the extrusion process, for example, by cross rolling and the attachment of a knurl.
  • a special case of extrusion is the so-called cold flow, in which the deformation is carried out at comparatively low temperatures.
  • FIG. 1 an electrically conductive core 109 of a connector pin 110 produced by extrusion molding is shown.
  • the electrically conductive core 109 has a contact region 112 and a connection area 114. About the contact portion 112 of the pin 110 is connected to a power outlet, not shown in the figure.

  • the illustrated electrically conductive core 109 corresponds to the European standard, but can be designed according to any country standard.
  • the electrically conductive core 109 has a knurl 117 that can be produced during extrusion.
  • a circumferential latching projection 128 can be attached by means of correspondingly shaped transverse rolling rolls. This latching projection 128 can then interact with a contact spring 111 for contacting an electronic component such as a stranded wire or a printed circuit board.
  • the contact area 112 is bevelled at its end facing the socket to reduce the risk of injury during handling and to facilitate insertion into the mains socket.
  • FIG. 2 An alternative embodiment of an electrically conductive core 109 is shown in FIG FIG. 2 shown.
  • the terminal portion 114 is U-shaped, so that it forms a fork contact, in which, for example, a printed circuit board can be inserted directly.
