An electrical connecting apparatus has the following features: a current or data transmitter device which can be connected to at least one current-transmitting or pulse-transmitting source, is arranged in a transmitter housing and has contact elements. A current-receiving or data-receiving device which can be electrically connected to a load or consumer is arranged in a receiver housing and has contact elements. Current, pulses or data can be transferred between the contact elements, which are in the form of flat contacts with touching surfaces, by connecting the current or data transmitter device to the current-receiving or data-receiving device. A multiplicity of contact elements of at least one of the two devices are held next to one another in a holding body. The contact elements which are held in the holding body are elastically mounted. The contact elements rest on a pressing link on the side facing away from the contact elements of the other device.

Description

Elektrische Verbindungsvorrichtunq Electrical connection device
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Verbindungsvorrichtung nach der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 näher definierten Art.The invention relates to an electrical connection device according to the kind defined in the preamble of claim 1.
In der WO 01/03249 AI ist eine derartige Verbindungsvorrichtung beschrieben.Such a connecting device is described in WO 01/03249 AI.
Durch die elastische Anordnung bzw. Lagerung der Kontaktelemente wenigstens einer Einrichtung lassen sich auch bei einer Vielzahl von Kontakten diese optimal zueinander ausrichten und in einem sehr guten Flächenkontakt miteinander verbinden.The elastic arrangement or mounting of the contact elements of at least one device means that even with a large number of contacts, these can be optimally aligned with one another and connected to one another in very good surface contact.
Durch diese Maßnahmen ist sichergestellt, dass auch höhere Amperezahlen übertragen bzw. weitergeleitet werden können.These measures ensure that higher amperages can also be transmitted or forwarded.
In der älteren DE 102 42 646.5 wurde eine weitere Verbesserung der eingangs erwähnten elektromechanischen Verbindungsvorrichtung dergestalt vorgeschlagen, dass diese für eine Serienfertigung und für eine Vielzahl von Kontaktverbindungen sich noch besser eignet. Dabei ist vorgeschlagen worden, eine Vielzahl von Kontaktelementen wenigstens einer der beiden Einrichtungen nebeneinander in einer rasterförmigen Ausgestaltung derart anzuordnen, dass die eingesetzten Kontaktelemente elastisch gelagert sind, wobei sie auf ihrer Rückseite an einer Pressbrücke anliegen. Damit lassen sich auf engstem Raum eine Vielzahl von Kontaktverbindungen schaffen, wobei gleichzeitig durch die elastische Lagerung die einzelnen Kontaktelemente frei voneinander beweglich sind und sich optimale Kontaktverbindungen mit Flächenberührung ergeben. Hierfür sorgt insbesondere die gemeinsame Lagerung bzw. Ab- stützung der Kontaktelemente auf ihrer Rückseite an einer Pressbrücke, wozu diese elastisch ausgebildet sein kann. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Kontaktelemente dabei auch noch wenigstens teilweise in eine elastische Umhüllung eingebettet sein.In the older DE 102 42 646.5, a further improvement of the electromechanical connection device mentioned at the outset was proposed in such a way that it is even more suitable for series production and for a large number of contact connections. It has been proposed to arrange a multiplicity of contact elements of at least one of the two devices next to one another in a grid-shaped configuration in such a way that the contact elements used are mounted elastically, with their back against a press bridge. This allows a large number of contact connections to be created in the smallest of spaces, At the same time, the individual contact elements can move freely from one another due to the elastic mounting and optimum contact connections with surface contact result. This is ensured in particular by the joint mounting or support of the contact elements on their rear side on a press bridge, for which purpose this can be made elastic. Additionally or alternatively, the contact elements can also be at least partially embedded in an elastic covering.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs erwähnte elektromechanische Verbindungsvorrichtung noch weiter bezüglich einer Serienfertigung, insbesondere einer Vereinfachung, geeignet zu machen.The present invention is based on the object of making the aforementioned electromechanical connecting device even more suitable for series production, in particular for simplification.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass eine Vielzahl von Kontaktelementen wenigstens in einer der beiden Einrichtungen nebeneinander in einem Aufnahmekörper aufgenommen sind, die in den Aufnahmekörpern aufgenommenen Kontaktelemente elastisch gelagert sind, und die in den Aufnahmekorper aufgenommenen Kontaktelemente auf der von den Kontaktelementen der anderen Einrichtung abgewandten Seite an einer Pressbrücke anliegen.According to the invention this object is achieved in that a plurality of contact elements are accommodated in at least one of the two devices next to one another in a receiving body, the contact elements received in the receiving bodies are elastically mounted, and the contact elements received in the receiving body on the contact elements of the other device the side facing away from a press bridge.
Der erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmekörper kann eine sehr einfache Ausgestaltung besitzen, wie z.B. eine Quaderform im Querschnitt gesehen. Der Aufnahmekörper kann beliebig lang ausgebildet sein, um eine Vielzahl von Kontaktelementen aufzunehmen. Für die gewünschte elastische Lagerung kann der Aufnahmekorper selbst elastisch ausgebildet sein, für einen gleichmäßigen Anpressdruck an die Kontaktelemente der ande- ren Einrichtung sorgt die Pressbrücke, welche ebenfalls e- lastisch ausgebildet sein kann.The receiving body according to the invention can have a very simple configuration, such as a cuboid shape seen in cross section. The receiving body can be of any length to accommodate a plurality of contact elements. For the desired elastic mounting, the receiving body itself can be elastic, for a uniform contact pressure on the contact elements of the other The device is provided by the press bridge, which can also be elastic.
Der Aufnahmekörper kann als Kunststoffteil ausgebildet sein, in welchen eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmeschlitzen für die Kontaktelemente eingebracht sind. Die Kontaktelemente können dabei elastisch nachgiebig oder auch mit Spiel in den Aufnahmeschlitzen angeordnet sein. Bei der Ausbildung eines seitlichen Spiels sind Kippbewegungen der Kontaktelemente möglich, um große Flächenkontakte zu erreichen.The receiving body can be designed as a plastic part, in which a plurality of receiving slots for the contact elements are made. The contact elements can be arranged to be elastically flexible or also with play in the receiving slots. When a lateral play is formed, tilting movements of the contact elements are possible in order to achieve large surface contacts.
In einer vorteilhaften konstruktiven Ausgestaltung kann der Aufnahmekörper als Gehäuseunterteil ausgebildet sein, während der Pressblock in einem oberen Gehäuseteil angeordnet ist. Dabei kann das obere Gehäuseteil das untere Gehäuseteil wenigstens teilweise seitlich umfassen, wozu das obere Gehäuseteil z.B. im Querschnitt gesehen wenigstens annähernd eine U-Form aufweisen kann. Dabei ist das untere Gehäuseteil zwischen den beiden U-Schenkeln aufgenommen.In an advantageous structural embodiment, the receiving body can be designed as a lower housing part, while the press block is arranged in an upper housing part. The upper housing part can at least partially enclose the lower housing part laterally, for which purpose the upper housing part e.g. seen at least approximately in cross-section can have a U-shape. The lower housing part is accommodated between the two U-legs.
Der Presskörper kann in dem Gehäuseoberteil bündig angeordnet sein. Von Vorteil ist es jedoch, wenn auf der von den Kontaktelementen abgewandten Seite des Presskörpers ein Freiraum vor der Montage vorhanden ist. In den Freiraum können dann Distanzstreifen unterschiedlicher Dicke eingelegt werden. Diese Distanzstreifen können starr oder - ebenso wie der Presskörper - elastisch ausgebildet sein. Durch unterschiedliche Distanzstreifen lassen sich unterschiedliche Elastizitäten und damit unterschiedlich starke Anpressdrücke für die Kontaktelemente an die Kontaktelemente der anderen Einrichtung erzeugen. Die Elastizität bzw. der Anpressdruck der Kontaktelemente lässt sich auch in einer weitere erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung dadurch beeinflussen, dass der Presskörper mit Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitzen versehen ist, welche z.B. zwischen den auf Abstand voneinander angeordneten Kontaktelementen in den Presskörper eingebracht sind. Beim Schließen bzw. Zusammenfügen der Kontaktelemente der beiden Einrichtungen kann dann durch den ausgeübten Pressdruck Material des Presskörpers in die Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitze ausweichen. kann der Presskörper auch auf der von den Kontaktelementen abgewandten Rückseite mit Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitzen versehen sein. Auch auf diese Weise lässt sich die Elastizität bzw. der Anpressdruck einstellen, wobei auch entsprechende Materialverdrängungen möglich sind.The pressing body can be arranged flush in the upper housing part. However, it is advantageous if there is a free space on the side of the pressing body facing away from the contact elements before assembly. Spacers of different thicknesses can then be inserted into the free space. These spacer strips can be rigid or, like the pressing body, elastic. Different elasticities and thus differently strong contact pressures for the contact elements on the contact elements of the other device can be generated by different spacer strips. The elasticity or the contact pressure of the contact elements can also be influenced in a further embodiment according to the invention in that the pressing body is provided with recesses, grooves, grooves or slots which are introduced, for example, between the contact elements arranged at a distance from one another in the pressing body. When the contact elements of the two devices are closed or joined together, material of the compact can then escape into the recesses, grooves, grooves or slots as a result of the pressure applied. the press body can also be provided with cutouts, grooves, grooves or slots on the rear side facing away from the contact elements. The elasticity or the contact pressure can also be set in this way, with corresponding material displacements also being possible.
Selbstverständlich können anstelle einer Einbringung von Aussparungen, Nuten oder Rillen und dergleichen in den Presskörper diese auch in den Teil des Gehäuses eingebracht sein, an dem der Presskörper anliegt. Auch in diesem Fall dienen die Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen und dergleichen zur Aufnahme von Material des Presskörpers.Of course, instead of introducing recesses, grooves or grooves and the like into the press body, these can also be introduced into the part of the housing against which the press body rests. In this case too, the cutouts, grooves, grooves and the like serve to hold material of the pressed body.
Um zu verhindern, dass die Kontaktelemente aus den Aufnahmeschlitzen herausfallen, können diese mit Anschlägen versehen sein.In order to prevent the contact elements from falling out of the receiving slots, these can be provided with stops.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen Unteransprüchen und aus dem nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel.

Einsatzgebiete und Anwendungsfälle für die elektrische Verbindungsvorrichtung können die gleichen sein, wie in der WO 01/03249 AI beschrieben. Die WO 01/03249 AI stellt gleichzeitig auch den Offenbarungsgehalt für die vorliegende Erfindung dar, so weit sie nachfolgend nicht näher beschrieben ist .Areas of application and applications for the electrical connection device can be the same as described in WO 01/03249 AI. WO 01/03249 AI also simultaneously represents the disclosure content for the present invention, insofar as it is not described in more detail below.
Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen jeweils eine Strom- oder Datenge- bereinrichtung 1 mit einem Gehäuse 2, in welchem eine Vielzahl von nebeneinander als Flächenkontakte ausgebildete Kontaktelemente 3 angeordnet sind. In dem Gebergehäuse 2 sind zwei oder im Bedarfsfalle auch mehrere Magnetkörper 4 in Form von Eisenkernen oder von Magneten auf Abstand voneinander angeordnet.FIGS. 1 and 2 each show a current or data transmitter device 1 with a housing 2, in which a multiplicity of contact elements 3 formed side by side as surface contacts are arranged. Two or, if necessary, a plurality of magnetic bodies 4 in the form of iron cores or of magnets are arranged at a distance from one another in the transmitter housing 2.
Für eine elektrische Verbindung wird eine Stromabnahme- oder Datenabnahmeeinrichtung 5 mit einem Nehmergehäuse 6 derart der Strom- oder Datengebereinrichtung 1 gegenüberliegend angeordnet, dass Magnete oder Magnetkörper 7, die in dem Neh- mergehäuse 6 angeordnet sind, den Magnetkörpern 4, die in dem Gebergehäuse 2 angeordnet sind, gegenüber liegen. Wenn die Magnetkörper 7 als Magnete ausgebildet sind, und die Magnetkörper 4 als Eisenkerne, ist es nicht erforderlich, auf eine Gegenpoligkeit zu achten. Falls die Magnetkörper 4 ebenfalls als Magnete ausgebildet sind, ist dafür zu sorgen, dass jeweils entgegengesetzt gerichtete Pole gegenüberliegend angeordnet werden.For an electrical connection, a current take-off or data take-off device 5 with a slave housing 6 is arranged opposite the current or data transmitter device 1 in such a way that magnets or magnetic bodies 7 which are in the mergehäuse 6 are arranged, the magnetic bodies 4, which are arranged in the encoder housing 2, are opposite. If the magnetic bodies 7 are designed as magnets and the magnetic bodies 4 as iron cores, it is not necessary to pay attention to an opposite polarity. If the magnetic bodies 4 are also designed as magnets, care must be taken that oppositely directed poles are arranged opposite one another.
Zur Verstärkung der Magnetkraft können die Magnete 7 zusätzlich noch mit einem Eisenmantel 8 ummantelt werden, damit sich eine Magnetkrafterhöhung ergibt.To increase the magnetic force, the magnets 7 can additionally be covered with an iron jacket 8, so that there is an increase in the magnetic force.
Zur Vereinfachung wird nachfolgend nur von einer Stromgebereinrichtung 1 und einer Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 gesprochen. Selbstverständlich sind die beiden Einrichtungen auch für eine Datenübertragung im Sinne einer Datengebereinrich- tung und einer Datenabnahmeeinrichtung geeignet.For the sake of simplicity, only one current transmitter device 1 and one current consumption device 5 are referred to below. Of course, the two devices are also suitable for data transmission in the sense of a data transmitter device and a data acquisition device.
Mit Magnetkörper werden ganz allgemein Magnete, magnetisier- bare Teile oder magnetische Teile bezeichnet, welche unter dem Einfluss eines Magneten magnetisch reagieren. Wesentlich ist lediglich, dass die Magnetkörper 4 der Stromgebereinheit 1 und der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 derart zusammenwirken, dass sich eine Magnethaftkraft auf beide Teile durch ein magnetisches Feld ergibt.Magnetic bodies are generally used to refer to magnets, magnetizable parts or magnetic parts that react magnetically under the influence of a magnet. It is only essential that the magnetic bodies 4 of the current transmitter unit 1 and the current take-off device 5 interact in such a way that a magnetic holding force on both parts results from a magnetic field.
Die Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 ist ebenfalls mit Kontaktelementen 9 in Form von Flächenkontakten versehen, welche in dem Nehmergehäuse 6 derart nebeneinander angeordnet sind, dass sie bei einer Verbindung der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 jeweils den Kontaktelemen- ten 3 der Stromgebereinheit 1 gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind.The power take-off device 5 is also provided with contact elements 9 in the form of surface contacts, which are arranged next to one another in the slave housing 6 in such a way that when the power transmitter device 1 is connected to the power take-off device 5 they each have the contact elements. ten 3 of the current transmitter unit 1 are arranged opposite one another.
Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen jeweils die Position kurz vor Kontaktierung der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 und damit kurz vor einer Kontaktverbindung zwischen den Kontaktelementen 3 und 9.FIGS. 1 and 2 each show the position shortly before the current transmitter device 1 makes contact with the current take-off device 5 and thus shortly before a contact connection between the contact elements 3 and 9.
Die Kontaktelemente 3 der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 sind in einer rasterförmigen Anordnung in Aufnahmeschlitzen 10 eines Aufnahmekörpers 11 gelagert. Wie aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, sind die Kontaktelemente 3 mit seitlichem Spiel in den Aufnahmeschlitzen 10 nebeneinander in einer Reihe angeordnet (siehe Fig. 1) . Die Aufnahmeschlitze 10 wiesen eine Stufe bzw. jeweils einen Anschlag 12 auf, durch die verhindert wird, dass die Kontaktelemente 3 aus dem Aufnahmekörper 3 herausfallen. Im vorderen Bereich, d.h. auf der zu der Stromabnehmereinrichtung 5 gerichteten Seite, ist zwischen den Kontaktelementen 3 und dem Aufnahmekörper 11 ein Freiraum vorhanden, in den ein elastisches Dichtglied 13 eingelegt ist. Das elastische Dichtglied 13 sorgt auch für eine Wasserdichtigkeit. Zur Führung der elastisch gelagerten Kontaktelemente 3 sind die Aufnahmeschlitze 10 derart ausgestaltet, dass sie im Bereich ihrer vorderen Enden jeweils eine reduzierte Breite in dem Bereich zwischen dem Dichtglied 13 und dem vorderen Ende des Aufnahmekörpers 11 ergibt. Wie aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ergeben sich auf diese Weise seitliche Nasen 14, welche die Kontaktelemente 3 seitlich führen.The contact elements 3 of the current transmitter device 1 are mounted in a grid-like arrangement in receiving slots 10 of a receiving body 11. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the contact elements 3 are arranged side by side in a row in the receiving slots 10 (see FIG. 1). The receiving slots 10 each have a step or a stop 12, by means of which the contact elements 3 are prevented from falling out of the receiving body 3. In the front area, i.e. on the side facing the current collector device 5, there is a free space between the contact elements 3 and the receiving body 11, in which an elastic sealing member 13 is inserted. The elastic sealing member 13 also ensures watertightness. For guiding the elastically mounted contact elements 3, the receiving slots 10 are designed such that they each have a reduced width in the area of their front ends in the area between the sealing member 13 and the front end of the receiving body 11. As can be seen from FIG. 2, side lugs 14 result in this way, which guide the contact elements 3 laterally.
Wenn keine Dichtglieder 13 zwischen den Kontaktelementen 3 und dem Aufnahmekörper 11 vorgesehen sind, entfallen die Na- sen 14 bzw. sind dann die Kontaktelemente 3 seitlich vollständig bis zu dem Anschlag 12 geführt.If no sealing members 13 are provided between the contact elements 3 and the receiving body 11, the wet sen 14 or the contact elements 3 are laterally completely up to the stop 12.
Die elastischen Dichtglieder 13 können z.B. als Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren oder durch Formgießen auf- bzw. eingebracht werden. Selbstverständlich können die elastischen Dichtglieder 13 auch auf andere Weise aufgebracht werden, wie z.B. in einer vorgefertigten Weise, wobei dann in den Kunststoff entsprechend die Kontaktelemente 3 eingebracht werden.The elastic sealing members 13 can e.g. can be applied or introduced as plastic by injection molding or by molding. Of course, the elastic sealing members 13 can also be applied in other ways, e.g. in a prefabricated manner, the contact elements 3 then being introduced accordingly into the plastic.
Die Kontaktelemente 3 der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 und der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 liegen auf ihrer einander zugewandten Seite mit Kontaktflächen 15 aneinander an, wenn die Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 verbunden wird. Auf der von der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 abgewandten Seite der Kontaktelemente 3 liegen diese an einer Pressbrücke 16 an.The contact elements 3 of the current transmitter device 1 and the current take-off device 5 lie against one another on their mutually facing side with contact surfaces 15 when the current transmitter device 1 is connected to the current take-off device 5. On the side of the contact elements 3 facing away from the power take-off device 5, these contact a pressing bridge 16.
Die Pressbrücke 16 kann elastisch und leicht konkav als Gummibrücke ausgebildet sein und ist entsprechend in einem Gehäuseoberteil la der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 zwischen den beiden Magnetkörpern 4 angeordnet, womit sie sich über die gesamte Länge des Aufnahmekörpers 11 erstreckt.The press bridge 16 can be designed to be elastic and slightly concave as a rubber bridge and is accordingly arranged in an upper housing part 1 a of the current transmitter device 1 between the two magnetic bodies 4, with which it extends over the entire length of the receiving body 11.
Wie aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, ist die Stromgebereinrichtung 1 aus einem Gehäuseoberteil la und einem Gehäuseunterteil zusammengesetzt, wobei das Gehäuseunterteil durch den Aufnahmekörper 11 als wesentlicher Bestandteil gebildet ist. Das Gehäuseoberteil la umfasst das Gehäuseunterteil seitlich, wozu es im Querschnitt gesehen eine U-Form auf- weist. Zwei U-Schenkel lb der U-Form nehmen dabei den Aufnahmekorper 11 als unteres Gehäuseteil zwischen sich auf.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the current transmitter device 1 is composed of an upper housing part 1 a and a lower housing part, the lower housing part being formed by the receiving body 11 as an essential component. The upper housing part la comprises the lower housing part laterally, for which purpose it has a U-shape when viewed in cross section. has. Two U-legs lb of the U-shape take up the receiving body 11 as a lower housing part between them.
Zwischen der inneren Wand des Gehäuseoberteils la und dem Presskörper 16 liegt vor der Montage ein Freiraum vor, in welchem ein vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge des Presskörpers 16 sich erstreckender Distanzstreifen 17 eingelegt ist. Der Presskörper 16 ist durch zwei seitliche, in das Gehäuseoberteil la eingeformte Rippen 18 geführt. Die zu den Kontaktelementen 3 gerichtete Länge der Rippen 18 ist dabei so gewählt, dass zwischen ihnen und den Rückseiten der Kontaktelementen 3 der Presskörper 16 den Freiraum vollständig ausfüllt. Mit anderen Worten: auch bei Fehlen eines Distanzstreifens 17 und damit bei einer direkten Anlage des Presskörpers 16 an der Innenwand des Gehäuseoberteils la ist für die Kontaktelemente 3 noch eine Verschiebemöglichkeit zum Ausgleich von Toleranzen und für die Einhaltung einer entsprechend großen Kontaktfläche genügend Spiel vorhanden.Before assembly, there is a free space between the inner wall of the upper housing part 1 a and the pressing body 16, in which a spacer strip 17, preferably extending over the entire length of the pressing body 16, is inserted. The pressing body 16 is guided through two lateral ribs 18 molded into the upper housing part 1 a. The length of the ribs 18 directed towards the contact elements 3 is selected such that the pressing body 16 completely fills the free space between them and the rear sides of the contact elements 3. In other words, even in the absence of a spacer strip 17 and thus in the case of a direct contact of the pressed body 16 on the inner wall of the upper housing part 1 a, there is still a displacement possibility for the contact elements 3 to compensate for tolerances and to maintain a correspondingly large contact area.
Im allgemeinen wird eine Verschiebemöglichkeit und damit eine elastische Lagerung der Kontaktelemente 3 in Pfeilrichtung A von ca. 0,1 bis 0,5 mm ausreichen.In general, a possibility of displacement and thus an elastic mounting of the contact elements 3 in the direction of arrow A of approximately 0.1 to 0.5 mm will suffice.
Durch ein Einlegen von unterschiedlich dicken Distanzstreifen 17 zwischen der Rückseite des Presskörpers 16 und der Innenwand des Gehäuseoberteils la lässt sich die Elastizität bei entsprechender Materialauswahl gezielt einstellen.By inserting spacer strips 17 of different thicknesses between the rear side of the pressing body 16 and the inner wall of the upper housing part 1 a, the elasticity can be set in a targeted manner with the appropriate choice of material.
Die Elastizität und damit der Verschiebeweg der Kontaktelemente 3 kann auch dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Presskörper 16 auf der zu den Kontaktelementen 3 gerichteten Seite mit Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitzen 19 verse- lo¬The elasticity and thus the displacement path of the contact elements 3 can also be achieved in that the pressing body 16 is provided with recesses, grooves, grooves or slots 19 on the side facing the contact elements 3. lo¬
hen ist, welche zwischen den auf Abstand voneinander angeordneten Kontaktelementen 3 in den Aufnahmekörper 11 eingebracht sind (siehe Fig. 3) .hen, which are introduced between the spaced-apart contact elements 3 in the receiving body 11 (see FIG. 3).
Zusätzlich oder als Alternative zu den Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen und Schlitzen 19 auf der Vorderseite des Aufnahmekörpers 11 können auch auf der Rückseite, d.h. auf der von den Kontaktelementen 3 abgewandten Seite des Aufnahmekörpers 11, in diesen Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitze 19' eingebracht sein. Bei Verbindung der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 und damit bei einem Aufbringen eines Anpressdruckes kann Material des Presskörpers 16 in die Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitze 19 bzw. 19' ausweichen.In addition or as an alternative to the cutouts, grooves, grooves and slots 19 on the front side of the receiving body 11, also on the rear side, i.e. on the side of the receiving body 11 facing away from the contact elements 3, recesses, grooves, grooves or slots 19 'are introduced into these. When the current transmitter device 1 is connected to the current take-off device 5 and thus when a contact pressure is applied, material of the pressing body 16 can escape into the cutouts, grooves, grooves or slots 19 or 19 '.
Ein gleicher Effekt wird erreicht, wenn die Innenwand des Gehäuseoberteils la mit Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitzen 19" versehen ist, wie dies in Fig. 3 gestrichelt angedeutet ist. Die Aussparungen, Nuten, Rillen oder Schlitze 19, 19' oder 19" können in Längs- oder auch in Querrichtung des Presskörpers 16 verlaufen.The same effect is achieved if the inner wall of the upper housing part la is provided with recesses, grooves, grooves or slots 19 ", as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 3. The recesses, grooves, grooves or slots 19, 19 'or 19" can run in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the compact 16.
Als Material für den Presskörper 16 kann beispielsweise ein Silikon-Druckkissen verwendet werden.A silicone pressure pad, for example, can be used as the material for the pressing body 16.
Die elastische Lagerung der Kontaktelemente 3 und deren Verschiebbarkeit in Pfeilrichtung A wird im wesentlichen durch die Anlage der Kontaktelemente 3 auf ihrer Rückseite an der elastischen Pressbrücke 16 erreicht. Zusätzlich oder auch als Alternative kann die erforderliche Elastizität auch durch eine entsprechend elastische Aufnahme der Kontaktele- mente 3 in dem Aufnahmekörper 11 und/oder des Dichtgliedes 13 erreicht werden.The elastic mounting of the contact elements 3 and their displaceability in the direction of arrow A is essentially achieved by the contact of the contact elements 3 on their rear side on the elastic pressing bridge 16. In addition or as an alternative, the required elasticity can also be achieved by appropriately elastic absorption of the contact elements. elements 3 in the receiving body 11 and / or the sealing member 13 can be reached.
Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Kontaktelemente 3 der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 elastisch gelagert und in dem Aufnahmekörper 11 aufgenommen. Selbstverständlich ist es im Rahmen der Erfindung auch möglich als Alternative dazu auch die Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 mit entsprechend e- lastisch angeordneten Kontaktelementen 9 zu versehen, während die Kontaktelemente 3 der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 fest in dem Gebergehäuse 2 angeordnet sind. Ebenso ist es auch möglich, alle Kontaktelemente 3 und 9 elastisch in Aufnahmekörpern 11 zu lagern.In the present exemplary embodiment, the contact elements 3 of the current transmitter device 1 are elastically mounted and received in the receiving body 11. Of course, within the scope of the invention it is also possible as an alternative to provide the current take-off device 5 with correspondingly elastically arranged contact elements 9, while the contact elements 3 of the current transmitter device 1 are fixedly arranged in the transmitter housing 2. It is also possible to elastically mount all contact elements 3 and 9 in receiving bodies 11.
Wie aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, können die Kontaktelemente 9, ebenso jedoch auch die Kontaktelemente 3, in Form von dünnen Flachteilen mit seitlichen Verlängerungen 17 ausgebildet sein. Über die seitlichen Verlängerungen 17 erfolgt dann über Zu- bzw. Ableitungen 18 die Stromzuführung bzw. Stromweiterleitung zu einem nicht dargestellten Verbraucher.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the contact elements 9, but also also the contact elements 3, can be designed in the form of thin flat parts with lateral extensions 17. Via the side extensions 17, the power is supplied or passed on to a consumer (not shown) via feed lines 18.
Der Aufnahmekörper 11 kann aus einem elastischen Kunststoffteil gebildet sein. Für die Kontaktelemente 3 bzw. 9 lassen sich Messingteile, evtl. versilbert, als einfache Stanzteile verwenden.The receiving body 11 can be formed from an elastic plastic part. For the contact elements 3 and 9, brass parts, possibly silver-plated, can be used as simple stamped parts.
Zur genauen mechanischen Zuführung bzw. Verbindung der Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit der Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 kann die Stromgebereinrichtung 1 mit ein oder mehreren konusartigen Aussparungen 20 versehen sein, an deren hinterem bzw. unteren Ende jeweils ein Magnetkörper 4 liegt. Umgekehrt weist die Stromabnahmeeinrichtung 5 ein oder mehrere konusartige Erweiterungen 21 auf, die an die Konuswinkel der konusartigen Aussparungen 19 angepasst sind. In jeder konusartigen Erweiterung 21 befindet sich jeweils ein Magnetkörper 7. Zur elektrischen Verbindung werden die konusartigen Erweiterungen 21 entsprechend in die konusartigen Aussparungen 20 selbstzentrierend eingeführt, wobei am Ende der Einführung die Magnetkörper 4 und 7 aufeinander liegen und dabei die Kontaktverbindungen zwischen den Kontaktelementen 3 und 9 stabil und sicher herstellen. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird praktisch eine "blinde" Kontaktierung der Kontaktelemente 3 und 9 ohne Fehlermöglichkeit erreicht.For the precise mechanical feeding or connection of the current transmitter device 1 to the current take-off device 5, the current transmitter device 1 can be provided with one or more cone-like recesses 20, at the rear or lower end of which a magnetic body 4 is located. Conversely, the current tapping device 5 has one or more cone-like extensions 21, which are adapted to the cone angle of the cone-like recesses 19. In each cone-like extension 21 there is a magnetic body 7. For the electrical connection, the cone-like extensions 21 are accordingly inserted into the cone-like recesses 20 in a self-centering manner, with the magnetic bodies 4 and 7 lying one on top of the other at the end of the introduction and the contact connections between the contact elements 3 and 9 stable and safe manufacture. This configuration practically achieves "blind" contacting of the contact elements 3 and 9 without the possibility of error.
Eine weitere Sicherheit gegen fehlerhafte Verbindungen bzw. eine Kontaktierung von nicht zueinander passenden Stromgebereinrichtungen 1 mit Stromabnahmeeinrichtungen 5 wird erreicht, wenn die Magnetkörper 4 und 7 "kodiert" ausgebildet sind. Mit "kodiert" ausgebildet ist gemeint, dass jeder Magnetkörper aus mehreren Einzelmagnetteilchen unterschiedlicher Polarität zusammengesetzt ist, wobei die sich gegenüberliegenden Magnetkörper 7 und 4 jeweils gegenpolig angeordnet sind. Eine derartige Kodierung ist z.B. aus der WO 01/03249 AI in Fig. 3 ersichtlich. Auch in der EP 0 573 471 (12.10.94) sind derart kodierte Magnete beschrieben. Auf diese Weise kann eine Kontaktverbindung nur dann erfolgen, wenn die richtig kodierten Magnete aufeinandertreffen.A further security against faulty connections or contacting of current transmitter devices 1 that do not match one another with current take-off devices 5 is achieved if the magnet bodies 4 and 7 are “coded”. By "coded" is meant that each magnetic body is composed of several individual magnetic particles of different polarity, the opposite magnetic bodies 7 and 4 being arranged with opposite poles. Such coding is e.g. from WO 01/03249 AI in Fig. 3 can be seen. Magnets coded in this way are also described in EP 0 573 471 (12.10.94). In this way, a contact connection can only take place if the correctly coded magnets meet.
Das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel ist in Kombination mit den Magnetkörpern 4 und 7 beschrieben. Selbstverständlich können die Magnetkörper 4 und 7 im Bedarfsfalle auch entfallen und nach einem Aufsetzen der Stromabnahmeoder Datenabnahmeeinrichtung auf die Strom- oder Datenge- bereinrichtung kann eine Verbindung bzw. Haltekraft zwischen den beiden Einrichtungen auch auf andere Weise durchgeführt werden, wie z.B. Verriegelungen oder Verrastungen. The embodiment described above is described in combination with the magnetic bodies 4 and 7. Of course, the magnetic bodies 4 and 7 can also be omitted if necessary, and after the power take-off or data take-off device has been placed on the power or data transmitter device, a connection or holding force can be established between the two devices can also be carried out in other ways, such as locking or latching.
