Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for electrical contact between a power supply and a layer of a fibrous flexible conductive material and the use of this device for heating by Joule effect.
  • the document FR 2,588,127 describes a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the layer of conductive material in the case where it would be necessary to give the layer of conductive material a non-planar shape, for example a curved or pleated shape, it is also difficult to obtain a continuous electrical contact over long lengths. This is particularly the case when the said material is used for heating by Joule effect, for which the heating should be as homogeneous as possible, so it is necessary to obtain a distribution of current in the fabric as homogeneous as possible over the entire length of the contact. The resultant of this effect will give a current transmission as homogeneous as possible over the entire surface of the material used between the two electrical contacts.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a device for making an effective electrical contact between a direct or alternating current power supply and a layer of a flexible, predominantly fibrous conductive material, without damaging the material. fibrous, nor alter its mechanical strength.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for producing a quasi-continuous electrical contact zone between said fibrous material and the power supply.
  • the adhesive may consist mainly of an adhesive or resin itself conductive, or an adhesive or resin doped for example with silver, copper, graphite ... or an adhesive or a resin containing electrically conductive (micro) particles.
  • the separate overlapping regions are arranged diametrically opposite, to allow the passage of electric current on all, or at least a major part of the layer of said fibrous material.
  • the total thickness of the device allows its folding at the area covered with the adhesive and the metal ribbon.
  • This folding can be a pleating, a crenellation, a winding of the layer on itself or on a support, or any other shaping that the flexibility of the layer of fibrous material allows.
  • the thickness of the superposition of the metal ribbon and the adhesive layer may be in a wide range from 0.001 mm to 5 mm, and more particularly between 0.05 mm and 2 mm, the fibrous material may have a thickness between 0.1 mm and 10 mm, preferably between 0.4 mm and 5 mm.
  • the intensity of the current delivered is a function of the contact resistance between the metal ribbon and the predominantly fibrous material and also depends on the width of the overlap zone. This width can be between 0.001 mm (ribbon in the form of a thread) and about 500 mm (flat ribbon). It is important when said contact resistance or the resistivity of the conductive adhesive used is large. This width must also be important if it is necessary to have a power delivered in the high fibrous material. However, if the ribbon is in the form of a wire, it is necessary to multiply the number of connections with the power supply.
  • the overlapping zone by its superimposed structure, makes it possible to stiffen the fibrous material and thus the conventional connections to a power supply can be used: metal clips, welds, rivets, screws, etc. without damaging said material.
  • this connection can be in a single point or in a multiplicity of points. A single point is preferred, for technical and economic reasons, the metal strip having the advantage of distributing the current over the entire length of the overlap area.
  • said material is coated with a conductive varnish, at least in said overlap zone.
  • the role of this varnish is mainly to stiffen the contact, improve interfiber contact, and thus reduce the electrical contact resistance while smoothing the surface of the fibrous material.
  • the mechanical and electrical contacts between said fibrous material and the adhesive are improved, and by the same contacts between the fibrous material and the power supply.
  • this device can be embedded in an electrical and / or thermal insulating material.
  • the insulating material is provided with at least one perforation allowing a connection to the power supply, for example by screwing or riveting, electric lug or "banana” type plug, or the device is embedded with its connection in the insulating material.
  • the metal strip has a resistivity approximately between 10 -8 and 10 -4 ⁇ .m, preferably between 10 -7 and 10 -4 ⁇ .m.
  • the resistance of this ribbon must be lower than the contact resistance on the fibrous material.
  • Said ribbon may for example be based on copper, zinc, aluminum, silver, nickel, iron, nickel-chromium, lead, or any other metal suitable for its electrical properties, thermal and mechanical or based on an alloy of these metals.
  • the metal strip may also be replaced by an electrically conductive polymer material.
  • the adhesive and the varnish must have a resistivity generally lower than that of said fibrous material. They may contain for example conductive (micro) particles that provide very many points of contact of very low electrical resistance.
  • Said predominantly fibrous material that can be used in the present invention can be chosen from carbon or activated carbon materials in the form of a fabric, a felt or a fiber agglomerate.
  • Their resistivity is generally of the order of 10 -4 to 10 -1 ⁇ .m.
  • This predominantly fibrous material may be reinforced with a mesh, a grid or a network of another material of non-conductive mechanical reinforcement.
  • Said reinforcing material may for example be polypropylene, cellulosic fibers, glass or quartz fibers.
  • the electrically conductive fibrous material then serves as a heating element, and can be used for example for panels radiants, interior elements of ovens, fireplaces, exhausts, etc.
  • the fibrous material is also an adsorbent material (based on activated carbon for example) and has previously adsorbed molecules (for example organic odor and / or pollutant molecules), the heating thereof allows the departure by desorption of these adsorbed molecules, and thus the regeneration of said material. It is also possible to use the device to simply measure the resistance or electrical resistivity of this type of fibrous material. Another use of the device according to the invention relates to the destocking of fuel molecules previously stored within the fibrous material.
  • the device according to the present invention can also be used for the polarization of a fibrous surface, for example for the electrostatic capture of particles and dust.
  • the fibrous material provided with the device according to the invention can also be used as an electrode in an electrolysis bath.
  • the fibrous material (1) is a carbon fabric (activated or not), here constituted of woven fibers (warp and weft) (2).
  • This material (1) which is electrically conductive (resistivity of the order of 10 -3 ⁇ .m) is covered, on two overlapping zones z 1 and z 2 of width l 1 and l 2 , located at the two opposite ends.
  • this metal strip (4) corresponds to those of the respective covering areas of width l 1 , l 2 and length L 1 , L 2
  • the thickness of the copper strip (4) is in this example about 35 ⁇ m and its width (l 1 l 2 ) of 19 mm, its resistivity is of the order of 1.7 10 -8 ⁇ .m.
  • a metal ribbon / adhesive pair for example, a commercially available metal strip used for shielding connectors and cables against electromagnetic interference, grounding and drainage of electrostatic charges can be used.
  • this metal ribbon / adhesive assembly has the main role of ensuring the transmission of the current between the power supply (5) and the fibrous material (1).
  • the adhesive is an acrylic based glue containing conductive microparticles (6), as shown in section on the figure 2 .
  • the resistivity through this adhesive is of the order of 5.10 -3 ⁇ .m.
  • the device according to the invention can be doubled, that is to say be provided on both sides of the fibrous material (1), as schematically dashed on the figure 2 (adhesive (3 ') and metal ribbon (4')).
  • the overlap areas z 1 and z 2 can be located, always on the opposite ends of the fibrous material (1), one on one side of said material, the other on the other face of the same material, thus allowing a better electrical circulation through this fibrous material.
  • the carbon fabric (1) serves as an adsorbent material (for example if the fibrous material is activated carbon-based fabric or felt) it is advantageous to have the largest possible exchange surface with a minimum space requirement. It may therefore be advantageous for example to wind the said material on itself or to fold or wrinkle.
  • the figure 3 shows such an arrangement by pleating.
  • the fibrous material (1) here having the general shape of a cylinder (7), is folded into a multitude of folds (8) parallel to each other and parallel to the axis (9) of said cylinder (7).
  • the device according to the invention can be placed at the two ends of said cylinder (7), on overlapping zones (z) located either inside or outside the cylinder, or one inside. the other outside, or even inside and outside this cylinder, at each end.
  • connection (10) with the power supply (5) is here realized in a single point, by means of a weld made on the surface of the metal strip (4), at each end of said cylinder (7), of which only an end is represented on the figure 3 .
  • the figure 4 shows a variant of the device according to the invention, where the superposition of a fibrous material (1), sandwiched between two conductive adhesive couples (3) / metal ribbon (4), is embedded in a insulating material (11) both electrical and thermal, which is for example an epoxy resin.
  • FIG. 5a and 5b present two examples of connection.
  • the cable (12) of the power supply which is directly connected to one of the metal strips (4), by means of a soldering of the wires (13) of said cable, after having removed the insulating sheath ( 14).
  • a conductive element (15) is welded to one of the metal strips (4) before being embedded in the insulating material (11).
  • This element (15) has a female part (16) which communicates with the outside of the block of insulating material (11) and makes it possible to receive a "banana” type plug (not shown), a cable connected to the power supply.
  • the fibrous material (1) which is generally flexible and very flexible, can be reinforced by bonding with a mechanically stronger material (18). Such a variant is presented at figure 6 , or the colaminate portion (19) is disposed opposite the covering area by the adhesive (3) and the metal strip (4) of the device according to the invention, with respect to the fibrous material (1).
  • the device according to the present invention can also serve as an electrical contact between two identical or different fibrous material modules (1a and 1b).
  • An example is shown schematically in the figure 7 .
  • the two fibrous materials (1a and 1b) are provided at their adjacent ends with a device according to the invention (respective couples conductive adhesive (3a, 3b) (not shown) / metal tape (4a, 4b)) between which is fixed , by gluing also by means of a conductive adhesive (not shown), an additional device comprising at least one (preferably two) metal ribbon (4c).
