Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine elektrische Flachleiter-Bandleitung, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electrical flat conductor ribbon cable, according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Flachleiter-Bandleitungen - im folgenden kurz "FL-BL" genannt - werden wegen ihrer flachen Bauweise mit Vorteil in der Verdrahtungstechnik eingesetzt. Sie dienen beispielsweise als Verbindungsleitungen für gedruckte Schaltungen, zur Verkabelung in elektrischen Geräten und in Kraftfahrzeugen. Ein Vorteil der FL-BL besteht in der unverrückbaren, definierten Anordnung ihrer Leiter. Über FL-BL können Signale und auch Ströme übertragen werden. Die Höhe der übertragbaren Ströme wird durch den leitenden Querschnitt der Leiter bestimmt. Wenn die FL-BL für höhere Stromstärken eingesetzt werden sollen, muß der Querschnitt der Leiter vergrößert werden. Das führt entweder zu breiteren FL-BL, wenn zum Erhalt ihrer Flexibilität breitere Leiter mit ausreichendem Abstand voneinander eingesetzt werden, oder zu weniger gut biegbaren FL-BL, wenn zum Erhalt einer vorgegebenen Breite derselben dickere Leiter verwendet werden.Flat conductor ribbon cables - hereinafter referred to as "FL-BL" - are because of their flat design used with advantage in wiring technology. You serve for example as connecting lines for printed circuits, for wiring in electrical devices and in motor vehicles. One advantage of the FL-BL is that immovable, defined arrangement of their ladder. Via FL-BL signals and currents are also transmitted. The level of the transmissible currents is determined by the conductive cross section of the conductor is determined. If the FL-BL for higher currents the cross section of the conductors must be increased. Leading either to wider FL-BL if using wider conductors to maintain their flexibility sufficient distance from each other, or less well bendable FL-BL, if to obtain a given width of the same thicker conductor be used.

Bei der bekannten FL-BL nach der DE 24 39 512 A1 sind die einzelnen Leiter in mehrere Teilleiter aufgeteilt, die übereinander oder nebeneinander liegen. Es soll dadurch eine erhöhte Sicherheit der FL-BL erreicht werden, die auch dann noch funktionsfähig sein soll, wenn ein Leiter durch einen Materialfehler gebrochen ist. Dieser Mangel soll hier auf einen Teilleiter beschränkt sein. Die anderen Teilleiter des jeweiligen Leiters sollen dann den Stromfluß aufrechterhalten. Die Leiter dieser bekannten FL-BL müssen dementsprechend überdimensioniert sein, da im Extremfall ein einzelner Teilleiter den vollen, zu übertragenden Strom führen muß.In the known FL-BL according to DE 24 39 512 A1, the individual conductors are in several Divided sub-conductors that lie on top of or next to each other. This is supposed to be a increased security of the FL-BL can be achieved, which will still be functional if a conductor is broken due to a material defect. This lack is said to be here be limited to a partial conductor. The other sub-leaders of the respective leaders should then keep the current flowing. The leaders of this well-known FL-BL must be oversized accordingly, because in extreme cases a single sub-conductor full, to be transmitted current.

Die GB 2 356 970 A, von welcher die Erfindung ausgeht, zeigt ebenfalls eine FL-BL mit einer Vielzahl von flachen, elektrischen Leitern, die einen etwa rechteckigen Querschnitt haben und parallel mit Abstand zueinander in eine gemeinsame Hülle aus Isoliermaterial eingebettet sind. Aus mechanischen und elektrischen Gründen können die flachen Leiter aus zwei oder mehr Teilleitern aufgebaut sein, die mit ihren Flachseiten aneinander liegen. Zum elektrischen Durchverbinden werden die Leiter der FL-BL an deren Enden abisoliert und mit einem Verbinder verlötet.GB 2 356 970 A, from which the invention is based, also shows an FL-BL a large number of flat, electrical conductors, which are roughly rectangular Have cross-section and parallel to each other in a common shell Insulation material are embedded. For mechanical and electrical reasons the flat conductors are made up of two or more partial conductors, which with their Flat sides lie against each other. The conductors of the FL-BL stripped at the ends and soldered to a connector.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs geschilderte FL-BL so zu gestalten, daß sie bei guter Flexibilität für höhere Stromstärken einsetzbar und auf einfache Weise zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung kontaktierbar ist.The invention has for its object to the FL-BL described above shape that they can be used with good flexibility for higher currents and on is easy to contact for making an electrical connection.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Merkmal des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the characterizing feature of patent claim 1 solved.

Der wesentliche Vorteil dieser FL-BL besteht in der Ausbildung eines Steckelements an mindestens einem ihrer Enden. Ihre Leiter können dadurch problemlos ohne gesonderte Kontaktelemente weiterverbunden werden. Dazu brauchen nur die Teilleiter der am Ende der FL-BL abisolierten Leiter in Richtung derselben zurückgebogen und bis zur Anlage am Isoliermaterial der Hülle gebracht zu werden. Dabei wird zweckmäßig mindestens ein Teilleiter auf einer Seite und mindestens ein Teilleiter auf der anderen Seite der FL-BL bis zur Anlage an deren Hülle zurückgebogen. Das Ende der FL-BL ist mit den außen liegenden Teilleitern und der zwischen denselben vorhandenen FL-BL selbst mechanisch so stabil, daß es ohne zusätzliche Kontaktelemente als Steckelement verwendbar ist. Die Leiter selbst bzw. ihre Teilleiter haben dabei die Funktion von Steckerstiften.The main advantage of this FL-BL is the design of a plug-in element at least one of its ends. Your leaders can easily do this without a separate Contact elements are connected. Only the sub-leaders of am End of the FL-BL stripped conductor bent back in the same direction and up to Attachment to the insulating material of the case to be brought. It becomes useful at least one partial conductor on one side and at least one partial conductor on the other Side of the FL-BL bent back to its casing. The end of the FL-BL is with the external partial conductors and the FL-BL itself between them mechanically so stable that it can be used as a plug-in element without additional contact elements is usable. The leaders themselves or their sub-leaders have the function of Plug pins.

Die Teilleiter können nach dem Zurückbiegen beispielsweise durch Kleben in ihrer Lage fixiert werden. Das ist grundsätzlich aber dann nicht erforderlich, wenn in einem auf das Ende der FL-BL aufzusteckenden Gegenstecker Führungen vorhanden sind, die ein seitliches Ausweichen der Teilleiter verhindern.After bending back, the partial conductors can, for example, be glued in place be fixed. In principle, however, this is not necessary if in one on the At the end of the FL-BL mating connector to be plugged in there are guides Prevent lateral deflection of the partial conductors.

Besonders wegen der geschilderten Ausgestaltung mindestens eines Leitungsendes als Steckerelement wird zweckmäßig eine geradzahlige Anzahl von Teilleitern pro Leiter der FL-BL verwendet, von denen nach dem Zurückbiegen die Hälfte auf der einen Seite und die andere Hälfte auf der anderen Seite der FL-BL liegt. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich die Verwendung von vier Teilleitern herausgestellt, von denen im Steckelement je zwei auf einer Seite der FL-BL liegen. Die FL-BL kann aber auch eine ungeradzahlige Anzahl von Teilleitern haben.Especially because of the described design of at least one line end as Plug element is appropriately an even number of sub-conductors per conductor of FL-BL uses half of which after bending back on one side and the other half is on the other side of the FL-BL. To be particularly advantageous the use of four partial conductors has been found, one of which is in the plug-in element two each lie on one side of the FL-BL. The FL-BL can also be an odd number Have number of sub-conductors.

Da jeder Leiter dieser FL-BL in mindestens zwei Teilleiter aufgeteilt ist, können dieselben zur Sicherung einer guten Flexibilität der FL-BL entsprechend dünn ausgeführt sein. Der Aufbau der Leiter aus Teilleitern gibt der FL-BL auch eine verbesserte Schwingungsfestigkeit. Für die Anzahl der Teilleiter pro Leiter und die Einhaltung der Flexibilität derselben ist nur und ausschließlich der elektrisch leitende Querschnitt der einzelnen Teilleiter und des jeweiligen Leiters von Bedeutung. Es kann auf diese Weise eine Anpassung des leitenden Querschnitts der Leiter an gewünschte, insbesondere an erhöhte Stromstärken vorgenommen werden, ohne daß die Flexibilität der FL-BL wesentlich beeinflußt wird. Das gilt beispielsweise für Leiter gleichbleibender Breite, die somit eine unveränderte Breite der FL-BL insgesamt gewährleisten. Es ist aber auch möglich, bei gleichbleibender oder geringfügig höherer Strombelastung schmalere Leiter einzusetzen, so daß eine entsprechende FL-BL schmaler ausgeführt werden kann. Das kann für viele Anwendungen von Vorteil sein, beispielsweise bei der Verwendung der FL-BL in einer im Lenkrad eines Fahrzeugs eingebauten Kassette für Airbags. Sie dient darin der Signal- und/oder Stromübertragung.Since each conductor of this FL-BL is divided into at least two sub-conductors, the same can To ensure good flexibility, the FL-BL should be made thin. The Construction of the ladder from partial conductors also gives the FL-BL an improved one Vibration resistance. For the number of partial conductors per conductor and compliance with the Its flexibility is only and exclusively the electrically conductive cross section of the individual sub-leader and the relevant leader. It can be done this way an adaptation of the conductive cross section of the conductors to the desired, in particular to increased currents can be made without the flexibility of the FL-BL is significantly influenced. This applies, for example, to conductors of constant width thus guarantee an unchanged overall width of the FL-BL. It is also possible, narrower with constant or slightly higher current load Use conductors so that a corresponding FL-BL can be made narrower. This can be advantageous for many applications, for example in use the FL-BL in a cassette for airbags installed in the steering wheel of a vehicle. she is used for signal and / or power transmission.

In Fig. 1 ist das Ende einer zwei elektrische Leiter 1 und 2 aufweisenden FL-BL schematisch dargestellt, deren Leiter 1 und 2 vom Ende her auf vorgegebener Länge abisoliert sind. Die beiden Leiter 1 und 2 sind als Flachleiter mit rechteckigem Querschnitt ausgebildet. Sie bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kupfer und sind in eine gemeinsame Hülle 3 aus Isoliermaterial so eingebettet, daß sie mit gleichbleibendem Abstand, parallel zueinander über die ganze Länge der FL-BL verlaufen. Die Leiter 1 und 2 können auch aus Aluminium oder einem anderen, elektrisch gut leitenden Material bestehen.In Fig. 1 is the end of a two electrical conductors 1 and 2 FL-BL shown schematically, the head 1 and 2 of the end of a predetermined length are stripped. The two conductors 1 and 2 are flat conductors with a rectangular one Cross section formed. They are preferably made of copper and are in one common sleeve 3 made of insulating material so embedded that they remain the same Distance, run parallel to each other over the entire length of the FL-BL. Heads 1 and 2 can also be made of aluminum or another material that is a good electrical conductor consist.

Die Hülle 3 aus Isoliermaterial wird vorzugsweise mittels eines Extruders erzeugt, dem die Leiter 1 und 2 parallel zueinander kontinuierlich zugeführt werden. Als Hülle 3 können aber auch zwei Bänder aus Isoliermaterial dienen, die im kontinuierlichen Ablauf von beiden Seiten an die Leiter 1 und 2 herangebracht und untereinander sowie mit den Leitern verklebt werden. Geeignete Isoliermaterialien sind beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid, Polyethylen und Polyurethan.The sleeve 3 made of insulating material is preferably produced by means of an extruder to which the Conductors 1 and 2 are continuously fed in parallel to each other. As a shell 3 can but also serve two tapes of insulating material, which in the continuous flow of brought both sides to the conductors 1 and 2 and with each other and with the Ladders are glued. Suitable insulating materials are, for example, polyvinyl chloride, Polyethylene and polyurethane.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte FL-BL hat zwei Leiter 1 und 2. Sie kann auch mehr als zwei Leiter haben, beispielsweise acht. Jeder der flachen Leiter 1 und 2 besteht im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei flachen Teilleitern T1 und T2. Leiter 1 und 2 sowie Teilleiter T1 und T2 können einen exakt rechteckigen Querschnitt haben. Sie können aber auch abgerundete Seitenkanten aufweisen. Die Teilleiter T1 und T2 jedes Leiters 1 oder 2 können die gleiche aber auch unterschiedliche Breite haben. So kann beispielsweise bei einem Leiter nach Fig. 3 mit drei Teilleitern T1, T2 und T3 der mittlere Teilleiter T3 breiter sein als die beiden außen liegenden Teilleiter T1 und T2. Alle Teilleiter liegen im fertigen Leiter 1 bzw. 2 mit ihren Flachseiten direkt aneinander. The FL-BL shown in the drawings has two conductors 1 and 2. It can also do more as two conductors, for example eight. Each of the flat conductors 1 and 2 consists of illustrated embodiment from two flat partial conductors T1 and T2. Heads 1 and 2 and the partial conductors T1 and T2 can have an exactly rectangular cross section. she but can also have rounded side edges. The sub-conductors T1 and T2 each Conductor 1 or 2 can have the same but different widths. So can 3 with three partial conductors T1, T2 and T3, for example, the middle one Partial conductor T3 be wider than the two outer partial conductors T1 and T2. All In the finished conductor 1 or 2, partial conductors lie directly against one another with their flat sides.

Ein solcher aus Teilleitern bestehender Leiter ist besser biegbar als ein einschichtiger Leiter mit gleich großem Querschnitt. Die Leiter 1 und 2 können daher für eine höhere Strombelastung bei gleichbleibender Breite mit einer entsprechenden Anzahl von Teilleitern dicker ausgeführt werden. Es können aber auch schmalere Leiter 1 und 2 verwendet werden, die aus einer größeren Anzahl von Teilleitern bestehen. Als besonders günstig hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn jeder Leiter 1 oder 2 aus mindestens vier Teilleitern besteht. Eine gerade Anzahl von Teilleitern ist für eine symmetrische Aufteilung bei der Kontaktierung zum elektrischen Weiterverbinden sinnvoll. Es kann aber auch eine ungerade Anzahl von Teilleitern pro Leiter verwendet werden.Such a conductor consisting of partial conductors is more flexible than a single layer Conductor with the same cross section. Heads 1 and 2 can therefore be used for a higher one Current load with constant width with a corresponding number of Partial conductors are made thicker. However, narrower conductors 1 and 2 can also be used can be used, which consist of a larger number of partial conductors. As It has turned out to be particularly favorable if each conductor 1 or 2 consists of at least four sub-ladders. An even number of partial conductors is for a symmetrical one Distribution in the contact to the electrical Connect further makes sense. But there can also be an odd number of sub-conductors per conductor be used.

Die FL-BL ist an mindestens einem Ende selbst als Steckelement ausgebildet. Dazu werden die Leiter 1 und 2 zunächst um eine vorgegebene Länge vom Isoliermaterial der Hülle 3 befreit, so wie es beispielsweise in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Die beiden Teilleiter T1 und T2 werden dann bis zur Anlage an der Hülle 3 zurückgebogen. Danach liegt der eine Teilleiter T1 auf einer Seite und der andere Teilleiter T2 auf der anderen Seite der FL-BL an deren Hülle 3 an. Ein entsprechend ausgeführtes Leitungsende geht schematisch aus den Fig. 4, 5 und 7 hervor.The FL-BL is itself a plug-in element on at least one end educated. For this purpose, the conductors 1 and 2 are first of a predetermined length from Insulated material of the shell 3 freed, as shown for example in Fig. 1. The The two partial conductors T1 and T2 are then bent back until they rest against the sheath 3. Then the one partial conductor T1 lies on one side and the other partial conductor T2 on the other side of the FL-BL to its shell 3. An appropriately designed cable end is shown schematically in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7.

Das Steckelement am Ende der FL-BL ist durch den Verbund der Teilleiter T1 und T2 sowie die zwischen derselben liegende FL-BL selbst sehr stabil. Gesonderte Kontaktelemente werden nicht mehr benötigt, sondern die Leiter 1 und 2 bzw. deren Teilleiter T1 und T2 übernehmen selbst die Funktion von Steckerstiften. Das Ende der FL-BL mit dem fertig ausgebildeten Steckelement kann direkt in einen aus den Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtlichen Gegenstecker G eingesteckt werden, der mit korrespondierenden Buchsenkontakten ausgerüstet ist. Zur Sicherung der guten Stabilität des Steckelements ist es sinnvoll, pro Leiter beispielsweise vier Teilleiter zu verwenden, von denen jeweils zwei auf einer Seite der FL-BL zurückgebogen aufliegen.The plug element at the end of the FL-BL is due to the combination of the partial conductors T1 and T2 as well as the FL-BL itself, which is very stable between them. separate Contact elements are no longer required, but conductors 1 and 2 or their Subconductors T1 and T2 themselves take on the function of connector pins. The end of the FL-BL with the finished plug-in element can directly into one of FIGS. 5 and 6 apparent mating connector G to be inserted, the corresponding Socket contacts is equipped. To ensure the good stability of the plug element it makes sense to use, for example, four partial conductors per conductor, two of which are each lie bent back on one side of the FL-BL.

Die Teilleiter T1 und T2 liegen stabil in ihrer zurückgebogenen Position. Die an der Hülle 3 anliegenden Teilleiter können - wenn gewünscht - beispielsweise durch einen Kleber zusätzlich fixiert werden. Ein seitliches Auswandern der Teilleiter T1 und T2 beim Zusammenstecken mit dem Gegenstecker G tritt dann auch ohne gesonderte Fixierung nicht auf, wenn der Gegenstecker G mit in seinen Steckraum hineinragenden Führungen 4 ausgerüstet ist, die in der fertigen Steckverbindung jeweils zwischen den Teilleitern liegen.The partial conductors T1 and T2 are stable in their bent-back position. The one on the shell 3 adjacent sub-conductors can - if desired - for example with an adhesive can also be fixed. A lateral migration of the partial conductors T1 and T2 at Then plugging in with the mating connector G does not occur even without a separate fixation on when the mating connector G is in its slot protruding guides 4 is equipped, each in the finished connector lie between the partial conductors.
