Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the continuous production of ribbon cables with electrical conductors spaced apart from one another and embedded in insulating material, tape-shaped conductors being guided at a distance from one another to form two surface sides and the surface sides being provided with insulating layers based on thermoplastic plastics and the ribbon-shaped conductors are embedded between the insulating layers.
- Ribbon cables are used extensively in the electronics industry, computer industry and, for example, in products where little space is available, such as motor vehicles and airplanes.
- a common method is the production of ribbon cables by extrusion, with endless conductors being passed through a nozzle and can be encased by the extruded plastic melt.
- These ribbon cables are called Fiat Extruded Cable (FEC).
- FEC Fiat Extruded Cable
- Another method is the production of ribbon cables by laminating between two plastic films made of a thermostable thermoplastic, an adhesive layer between the two plastic films being provided as an embedding layer, in which the conductors are embedded.
- the latter ribbon cables are also known as Flexible Fiat Cable (FFC).
- the ribbon cables must meet the requirements for temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance, low shrinkage, good processability, easy manufacture of contacts and connections.
- the adhesive layer can prove to be problematic since it has to be removed in the area of the contact points.
- the laminate films also tend to delaminate at high temperatures, as can occur, for example, in motor vehicles in the summer in the engine and roof area.
- the invention has for its object to provide an economical method for producing ribbon cables, which works with high production speed and accuracy and in which the total thickness of the insulating layers can be reduced compared to extruded ribbon cables.
- the invention has for its object to provide ribbon cables with smaller thicknesses than extruded ribbon cables that do without adhesive layers. Another concern is to manufacture ribbon cables in such a way that no cleaning of the exposed conductor ends is required for the contacting and connection points. Another object of the invention is to reduce the tendency to shrink flat ribbon cables produced by extrusion.
- thermoplastic melt which is produced by means of a flat film nozzle of an extruder and immediately in a still plasticized state with the band-shaped conductors of the other insulating layer and is connected using pressure.
- the extrusion coating method as is known for the production of extrusion coatings, is used for the first time for the production of ribbon cables.
- the thermoplastic plastic melt is extruded through a flat film die / slot die and the melt film emerging from the die, which is generally very low viscosity, is replaced by appropriate
- Velocity differences between the nozzle outlet and the surface of the roller / cooling roller to which the melt film is applied are drawn out, that is to say brought to a small thickness. It is thus possible to produce ribbon cable films with insulating layers on the conductor sides from less than 100 / m down to 50 ⁇ m or less, which have a significantly reduced shrinkage and tendency to shrink.
- Advantageous variants and developments of the method according to the invention can be gathered from the characterizing features of the subclaims.
- the band-shaped conductors are preferably placed on a first insulating layer and then brought together and combined with the second insulating layer.
- thermoplastic materials for the insulating layers are in particular high-temperature-resistant thermoplastic materials, such as high-strength polyamides, high-strength polyesters, PVC, thermoplastic polyurethane, polyolefins, polyimides, crosslinkable thermoplastic plastics, fluorine-containing thermoplastic polymers, linear (semi) aromatic polyesters, linear polyarylene oxides, -Sulfides and - sulfones, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-alkyl (meth) acrylate copolymers and terpolymers, which can be used individually or in compatible blends, if appropriate also after subsequent crosslinking.
- high-strength polyamides high-strength polyesters, PVC, thermoplastic polyurethane, polyolefins, polyimides, crosslinkable thermoplastic plastics, fluorine-containing thermoplastic polymers, linear (semi) aromatic polyesters, linear polyarylene oxides, -
- both surface sides of the band-shaped conductors located in one plane are provided with an insulating layer by extrusion coating.
- only one of the two insulating layers is produced in this way, while the second insulating layer consists of a prefabricated thermoplastic film.
- the prefabricated thermoplastic plastic film can either be an extruded flat film or also a film produced by calendering, which, however, are available in a prefabricated form for producing the composite.
- the plastic film forming a first insulating layer is introduced into a gap formed between two rollers and the conductors guided in one plane are introduced into the gap via one of the two rollers forming the gap and by means of the pressure exerted by the two rollers at least partially pressed into the plastic film on one side, and then the plastic film with the pressed-in band-shaped conductors is fed to and pulled through a second gap formed by a further pair of rollers, and a thermoplastic plastic melt from one onto one of the rollers of the second pair of rollers before it enters the second roller gap Flack foil nozzle of an extruder is extruded and applied to the second insulating layer, and the conductors and the first insulating layer are combined with the plastic melt forming the second insulating layer to form the ribbon cable foil when passing through the second gap, where in the case of the band-shaped conductors which are pressed into the plastic film, serve as stabilizing and tensioning elements to prevent stretching and / or shrinking of the
- Another variant of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the conductors which are guided in one plane are continuously placed on a first insulating layer made of a thermoplastic plastic film and are moved along with the plastic film and subsequently thereafter during the circulation with the roller or a subsequent one Roll a second insulating layer in the form of a thermoplastic melt from a flat film nozzle of an extruder continuously applied and combined with the plastic film and the conductors to form a ribbon cable film.
- the conductors guided in one plane are introduced into a gap formed between two rollers and a plastic film is fed to the gap as the first insulating layer via one of the rollers forming the gap, and a thermoplastic melt is applied to the other roller in front of the roller gap a flat film nozzle of an extruder for forming the second insulating layer is extruded and applied, and the conductors are combined with the two insulating layers to form a flat ribbon cable film when the gap is passed through and pulled off.
- the ribbon cable film can also be produced in such a way that it is introduced into a plane guided conductor in a gap formed between two rollers and on each of the rollers in front of the gap a thermoplastic plastic melt from a flat foil nozzle and an extruder is extruded and applied to form an insulating layer, and the insulating layers and the conductors are combined and pulled off as they pass through the gap to form a ribbon cable foil.
- Ribbon cable foil provides that on the first roller continuously a first
- Insulating layer made of a thermoplastic melt from a
- Flat film nozzle of a first extruder is applied and subsequently the conductors, which are guided at a distance from one another in a plane, are guided over a roller forming a first gap with the first roller and are applied to the first insulating layer resting on the first roller, the spacing of the rollers forming one another Gap width of the gap determines the thickness of the first insulating layer, then a thermoplastic is continuously applied as a second insulating layer to the first insulating layer still resting on the first roller, with conductors resting on it
- Plastic melt is applied from a flat film die of a second extruder and a further roller (9a) following the first roller is assigned to form a second roller gap, the distance between the rollers from one another determining the gap width of the second gap formed and thus the total thickness of the ribbon cable film produced and the ribbon cable foil being removed from the gap from the first roller and being guided over the roller and by means of which The roller associated with the subsequent roller forming the draw-off nip is pulled off.
- This variant of the method according to the invention enables the two insulating layers to be applied from a plastic melt in a chill-roll process, the layer thicknesses being calibrated in two steps.
- the method according to the invention also makes it possible not only to form the insulating layers for the surface sides in one layer but also in two or more layers, it being particularly advantageous that the insulating layer can be coextruded directly in the desired multilayer in the course of the extrusion coating. In this way it is possible to produce a corresponding structure of a ribbon cable with inner embedding layers and outer high-temperature-resistant layers in the desired quality and economically.
- the method according to the invention allows ribbon cables to be produced continuously in film widths of 1 m and more, with production speeds of 100 m / min. and more are possible.
- extrusion coating enables the conductors to be completely embedded in the insulating materials, the desired adhesive, homogeneous bond being produced without any problems both between two insulating layers produced by extrusion coating and also between a prefabricated thermoplastic plastic film and an insulating layer produced by extrusion coating.
- ribbon cables can be manufactured with the desired number of conductors in the desired widths, whereby the possible production range of ribbon cable foils enables the parallel production of several ribbon cables in one foil, which can be cut into a corresponding number of ribbon cables of the desired configuration by cutting parallel to the conductors ,
- the invention makes it possible to produce ribbon cables of very small total thicknesses down to 100 m.
- the method according to the invention allows a large number of differently equipped ribbon cables to be produced both in terms of the number of conductors, the conductor cross sections and the insulating layers.
- adhesion promoter layers are desired, here come in particular thermoplastically processable materials such as ethylene, copolymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, copolymers and terpolymers with acrylic comonomers, such as ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, styrene polymers, polyester hot melt adhesives, Acrylates and metacrylates in question.
- Preferred thermoplastic adhesion promoters are those which can also be applied by extrusion coating. According to the invention, it is proposed that two or multilayer insulating layers with a thermoplastic plastic layer as the outer layer and with a coating facing the conductors are co-extruded from an adhesion promoter by means of the flat film nozzles.

- FIG. 1 schematically shows the method for producing ribbon cables using two insulating layers produced in situ by extrusion coating from a thermoplastic melt.
- Band-shaped electrical conductors 2 for example with a very flat rectangular cross section, for example made of copper, are drawn off from the coils (not shown) in the direction of arrow P1 and guided into a plane in which they run parallel and spaced apart from one another, the arrangement of the conductors 2 being according to the desired one Execution of the ribbon cable to be manufactured.
- the conductors 2 are fed to a nip S formed by two rollers 8a, 8b.
- Each roller 8a or 8b is assigned an extruder 6 with a slot die / flat film nozzle 61 or 7, 71 leading from the roller gap S, from which the thermoplastic melt 3 or 4 emerges and is guided onto the roller surface 8a or 8b.
- the rollers 8a and 8b have a higher speed in the direction of arrow D1 than the extrusion speed of the melts 3, 4, so that the plastic melt is drawn out according to the speed difference and brought to the desired thickness of the insulating layers.
- the plastic melts 3, 4 are brought together with the conductors 2 in the roller gap S and the conductors 2 are embedded in the insulating layers formed by the plastic melts 3, 4, as can be seen in FIG.
- the width of the ribbon cable film 10 formed depends on the roller width and the nozzle width and can be 1 m and more.
- a large number of electrical conductors 2 for example copper strips at the desired intervals, can be embedded parallel to one another in the thermoplastic melt and thus at the same time a large number of ribbon cables 1 .1, 1 .2, 1 .3 in the desired structure by cutting the ribbon cable film 10 parallel to the conductors 2 according to the separating cuts 5.
- thermoplastic film 4a which is prefabricated, for example by calendering or extrusion, is fed to the roll gap via one of the rolls 8b, arrow direction P2.
- thermoplastic plastic melt 3 is applied to the roller surface 8a by means of the extruder 6 and the flat foil nozzle 61 and, according to the so-called chill-roll method, to the desired foil and Film thickness pulled out.
- the prefabricated plastic film 4a, the conductors 2 and the plastic melt lying on the roll 8a by extrusion coating are brought together in the roll gap S and combined to form the ribbon cable film 10.
- Further cooling rolls and take-off rolls 9a can be arranged downstream of the roll gap formed by the rolls 8a, 8b, as can smoothing devices.
- the arrangement, shown only schematically in FIG. 1, for producing the ribbon cable film 10 produced by extrusion coating in the chill-roll process can also be supplemented by a corresponding additional arrangement of downstream cooling rollers, deflection rollers, smoothing rollers, etc.
- a nip it is also possible, as exemplarily and schematically shown in FIG. 5, to supply an insulating layer in the form of a plastic film 4a via a roller 8c to an imaginary nip, see arrow P2, and onto this plastic film 4a in a plane parallel spaced conductor 2, see arrow P1, hang up. Then the still free surface side of the conductors can then be covered with an extrusion layer 3 produced by extrusion coating using an extruder 6 and flat film nozzle 61 and the extrusion layer 3, the conductors 2 and the plastic film 4a can be combined to form the ribbon cable film 10 by further guiding via a roller 9a and be subtracted.
- a ribbon cable film 10 is formed, in which the conductors 2 rest on the prefabricated film 4a as the first insulating layer and the plastic melt applied by the extrusion coating covers the conductors 2 as a second insulating layer 3 and as in Figure 6 shown connects to the first insulating layer 4a.
- This ribbon cable film 10 can also have any arrangement of conductors 2 within the insulating layers 3, 4a and can be divided into individual ribbon cables by corresponding separating cuts 5.
- the method according to the invention enables high production speeds, small thicknesses of the insulating layers and precise storage and embedding of the conductors.
- FIG. 7 shows only by way of example how, in combination with the method shown in FIG. 5, the plastic film 4a can be produced, for example, by a preceding chill-roll system as a flat film, also by extrusion coating by means of a roller 8a, and by means of a take-off roller 9c is fed to the further coating in the direction of arrow P2.
- thermoplastic materials for the insulating layers or those on the electrical conductors in particular
- Insulating layers adjacent to copper conductors do not enter into any connection with the electrical conductor, in particular the copper, so that the connection points for the contacts are immediately clean when the insulating layer is removed and do not require any additional processing.
- FIG. 1 A system for producing a particularly low-shrink flat ribbon cable film 10 is shown schematically in FIG.
- the first nip S is formed between the pair of rollers 8a, 8b.
- a prefabricated plastic film 4a which forms one of the insulating layers, is pulled vertically through the gap S in the direction of arrow P2.
- the very flat copper strips 2 are fed into the gap 5 in the direction of arrow P1 over the roller surface of the roller 8b and, when they pass under pressure - the roller 8a works as a press roller - is pressed into the surface of the plastic film 4a.
- the copper strips serve as supports (like a fabric) in the longitudinal extension of the plastic film and counteract both stretching and shrinking of the plastic film.
- the pre-composite 4a, 2 passes through a further roll gap S2, formed by the pair of rolls 9a, 9b.
- a thermoplastic melt is extruded directly onto the roll surface of the roll 9b by means of a flat film nozzle 61 of an extruder 6, and the insulating layer 3 thus extruded is fed to the gap S2, so that it connects in the gap S2 to the plastic film 4a on the side having the adhering copper strips , Sufficient pressure is exerted in gap S2.
- the composite thus produced as a ribbon cable 10 with outer insulating layers 4a, 3 and internal conductors 2 is then pulled off in the direction of arrow P3.
- a low-stress composite is produced with this method, the cross section of which can be seen schematically in FIG.
- FIG. 11 A further variant of the method is shown in FIG. 11, which makes it possible to apply the two insulating layers from a plastic melt by means of a chill-roll unit.

- a thermoplastic is applied to this roller by means of the extruder 6 via the flat film nozzle 61 Plastic melt applied as the first insulating layer 3.
- the roller 8a is assigned a second roller 8b with the formation of the nip S.
- the strip-shaped conductors 2 which are spaced apart from one another in a plane, are fed to the roller gap in the direction of arrow P1 and are combined with the insulating layer 3 as they pass through the roller gap S.
- the roller 8b via which the conductors 2 are brought in and deflected, rotates in the direction of the arrow D4.
- the defined gap between the rollers 8a and 8b results in the required gap width and thus the desired thickness of the insulating layer 3.
- the roller 8a is assigned a further extruder 7 with a flat film nozzle 71, by means of which the second insulating layer 4 in the form of a thermoplastic melt is applied to the first insulating layer 3 with conductors 2 lying thereon , After this application point, the roller 8a is assigned a further roller 9a with the formation of a second roller gap S2, through which the insulating layers 3, 4 with internal band-shaped conductors 2 are passed, combined with one another and calibrated using pressure.
- the spacing of the rollers 8a and 9a from one another limits the total thickness of the ribbon cable foil 10 produced from the plastic melts of the insulating layers 3 and 4 and the strip-shaped conductors 2.
- the roller 9a rotates in the direction of the arrow D2.
- the roller 9a is assigned the roller 9b as a take-off roller, forming the take-off nip S3, which rotates in the direction of the arrow D5.
- the roller 9b can also be designed as an impression roller.
