Definitions

  • the invention relates to the assembly of electrical circuits on components.
  • a method for assembling circuits on vehicle doors is proposed, whereby after pre-assembly on a carrier element it is possible to fasten the entire circuit on the component in one step.
  • automation of assembly also saves costs for series production with medium to large quantities.
  • DE 100 31 487 A1 relates to a circuit connection structure for various electronic equipment in a vehicle door with a standard circuit unit with a first connection part for connection to another circuit with a switch circuit part.
  • This patent application is limited to networking the switches for window regulators, door lighting and the like in a switching element which is used as a circuit connection structure.
  • the advantage of this arrangement is based on the fact that an optional circuit unit, such as a control of an electric seat adjustment mechanism, can be retrofitted, since a door control unit or standard circuit unit is provided in addition to the circuit connection structure.
  • DE 100 37 263 A1 shows circuit arrangements which are provided both in the door trim and on the door panel side. Among other things, the connection of switches with flexible printed circuit boards is described.
  • the preparation of the component that receives the assembly is carried out by providing fasteners and positioning the component and the assembly in their installed position relative to one another.
  • the method according to this invention offers the possibility of automated assembly and fastening of a line set on a component, such as a door trim.
  • the cable set preferably comprises flexible printed circuit boards, so-called FPC (flexible printed circuits) or as a replacement for the conventional round conductor.
  • a special feature of this cable set is that it does not contain any plug contacts, since the switches and the door control unit are soldered directly to the FPC's.
  • the soldering process can be fully automated through the use of a carrier element and the resulting easy accessibility of all elements of the wiring harness.
  • a decisive advantage of the method according to the invention is the continuous automation of cable assembly and assembly. That means from the FPC production including the integration of the electronics, to the direct contacting of the door control unit and switches by means of a soldering process, for example a laser soldering process, to the assembly of the wiring harness in the door paneling, according to the inventive method, takes place fully automatically.
  • An advantage of the invention is thus the reduction in the weight of the complete wiring harness (FPC + switch + lights + control unit):
  • a housing half of the door control unit can be integrated into the door trim, which can also reduce the weight of the control unit by 15%.
  • the lights are integrated in the form of LEDs on the FPCs. This reduces the weight of the lights by approximately 30%.
  • FPC instead of conventional round conductors, the weight of the cable set is reduced by approximately 85%.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the reduction in the volume of the complete wiring harness. By eliminating the plug contacts, integrating the lights into the FPC and using FPC instead of round conductors, the volume of the cable set can be greatly reduced.
  • the round cable has an extension of 15x35mm at its thickest point.
  • the FPC's are only 0.2mm thick and therefore take up practically no space.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of a component with built-in circuits, as well as individual elements.
  • Fig. 2 shows the first steps of the assembly process.
  • Fig. 3 shows the connection of conductor ends and control unit.
  • Fig. 4 shows the connection of conductor elements and control unit in detail Connection by means of a soldering method in detail.
  • FIG. 5b shows the soldering method according to a first exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 5c shows the soldering method according to a further exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 shows the removal of the cable set from the carrier element and the installation in a component
  • FIG. 7 shows a possibility of the line set by means of an adhesive process.
  • FIG. 8 shows a possible layout for the process
  • the switching elements are a switch 3 for the adjustment of a rear-view mirror, a switch 4 for a device for opening or closing a window, a switch 9 for an anti-theft device, a switch 12 for adjusting a vehicle seat, and an operating element 10 for opening a trunk of the vehicle as well as lighting elements or signal elements, such as a door handle shell light 5, an entry light 11, a door warning light 8, a diode indicator for theft protection, to mention only a few possibilities.
  • the switching elements are a switch 3 for the adjustment of a rear-view mirror, a switch 4 for a device for opening or closing a window, a switch 9 for an anti-theft device, a switch 12 for adjusting a vehicle seat, and an operating element 10 for opening a trunk of the vehicle as well as lighting elements or signal elements, such as a door handle shell light 5, an entry light 11, a door warning light 8, a diode indicator for theft protection, to mention only a few possibilities.
  • FIG. 2 shows the first steps of the method for assembling the assembly 17.
  • a carrier element 13 contains a plurality of channels 19 and projections 20 which are used to position individual conductors, pre-assembled cable sets with or without switching, operating or signaling elements and individual ones Switching, operating or signaling elements and control units 2 are used.
  • positioning is carried out using one or more robots.
  • an alternative to this or in addition is a manual assembly.
  • the line sets, switching, operating or signaling elements and the control unit which are shown separately in the left-hand illustration, are already positioned. Because on the support element 13 further channels or projections are indicated, further elements can be positioned.
  • FIG. 3 shows the soldering process of the first end regions of the conductors 15 with the control unit 2 by means of a robot 22.
  • the second end regions of the conductors 16 can, if necessary, be soldered to individual elements 14 if no plug connections or the like are to be provided for the second ends. The selection depends on the type of individual element to be installed.
  • Fig. 4 shows a solder joint in detail.
  • the control unit 2 is connected to the carrier element 13 by means of at least one adjustment element, such as a pin.
  • a conductor 7, in this case a foil conductor, is also positioned with the adjusting element 13.
  • the conductor 7 is positioned between the carrier element 13 and the printed circuit board 24, which represents the connection area of the control unit 2.
  • connection pads which contain a solder deposit on their underside, are attached to the printed circuit board 24.
  • the connection pads 25 can be identified by a camera 27 which is mounted on the robot.
  • 5a shows a variant of laser soldering, in which the conductors 7 are positioned on the upper side of the printed circuit board 24 of the control unit 2.
  • 5b and 5c illustrate two alternative embodiments for the conductive regions of the end regions 16 of the conductors.
  • FIG. 5b shows connection pads 25 which are positioned on the film conductor. They can contain the solder deposit.
  • 5c shows connection pads 25 in which the solder depot is integrated into the foil conductor itself.
  • FIG. 6 shows the process steps for removing the assembly 17 from the carrier element, the assembly 17 and the positioning of the assembly 17 in the component 1.
  • the assembly or the component can be prepared in an intermediate station with an adhesive, such as an adhesive.
  • mechanical fastening means such as snap-in connections, snap connections or the like, can be provided in the component in order to hold the assembly 17 in position.
  • FIG. 7 shows the possibility of preparing the locations at which the assembly 17 is to be positioned in the component 1 by means of an adhesive process.
  • a robot 28 applies adhesive in the channels 19 or between protrusions 20 in a line or in points.
  • 8 shows a possible arrangement of the individual method steps for fully automatic assembly and assembly of an assembly 17 in a component 1.
  • conductors or cable sets and switching, operating, lighting and signal elements are positioned on the carrier element 13. Even if not shown in detail, the positioning can be done automatically or manually.
  • the carrier element 13 moves forward on a conveyor belt 37 into the soldering station 30.
  • a robot 22 makes all the soldered connections.
  • the assembly 17 is removed from the carrier element 13 by a robot 36.
  • the robot preferably has gripping elements which operate by means of a vacuum. It is also possible to provide a gripping element which has the shape of the assembly, so that the positioning of each individual element can take place safely and precisely on the component 1.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour monter des sous-groupe (17) sur des éléments, notamment des portes de véhicules (1). Les organes du sous-groupe (17) étant prémontés sur un élément support (13), il est possible de fixer l'ensemble des circuits électriques ou électroniques disposés sur le sous-groupe sur un élément (1) en une seule opération. Outre la possibilité d'utiliser presque exclusivement des plaquettes souples pour l'assemblage des éléments individuels (14) tels que les éléments de logique, de commande ou de signalisation, ce qui se traduit par une réduction de poids, l'automatisation du montage représente une économie sensible dans la fabrication en série pour des productions moyennes à grosses.
