Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact part holder for a spring contact according to the preamble of claim 1 and a spring contact.
  • Spring contacts may for example be mounted in a housing.
  • a contact pin or the like may be inserted into such a housing and connected to the spring contact.
  • the spring contact is connected to a circuit, whereby upon insertion of the contact pin in the housing an electrically conductive connection is made.
  • Spring contacts are known from the prior art, in which the contact part holder is designed in several parts, whereby a larger space is needed. However, spring contacts used in vehicles should be made compact. Furthermore, the individual parts of multi-part contact part holder must be assembled, which is associated with additional work.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a contact part holder for a spring contact, which is inexpensive, and to provide a spring contact, which is compact.
  • the generic DE 102 61 733 A1 describes a spring contact with a contact pin and a spring.
  • the contact pin and the spring are received in a sleeve.
  • the spring is supported on a bent web of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve in turn is received in a cavity of a housing.
  • a spring which is part of a spring contact, is supported on the extensions in the assembled state of the spring contact.
  • the extensions can be formed angled.
  • the contact part holder is a contact piece which is connected to the circuit.
  • the contact part holder is made of an electrically conductive material such as copper.
  • the contact part holder is e.g. produced by punching and then rolling.
  • the electrically conductive material that makes up the contact part holder is cut on a punching machine, pre-bent and then rolled.
  • a carrier strip connects after rolling a plurality of contact part holder. These can be wound on a spool, so that they can easily be stored until further processing or delivered to a further processing operation.
  • the invention relates to a spring contact with a spring, a contact part and a contact part holder of the above type, wherein the spring and the contact part are inserted into the cylindrical portion of the contact part holder and the spring is supported on the extensions.
  • the spring contact may e.g. be mounted in a housing. In the housing then a contact pin or the like can be introduced, which acts on the contact part. The contact member then serves as a contact for the contact pin, so that an electrically conductive connection is made.
  • the spring contact is compact and can even in confined spaces, such as. in vehicles, are used. Further, the assembly of the spring contact is done quickly by the contact part and the spring are inserted into the cylindrical portion of the contact part holder. Since the contact part holder is integrally formed, eliminating a time-consuming assembly of the contact part holder.
  • the contact part holder is bent at one end, wherein the contact part can engage the bent end.
  • the contact member is axially movably received in the cylindrical portion, wherein the movement of the contact part is limited by the bent end.
  • FIG. 1 shows a spring contact 10 consisting of a contact part holder 12, a spring 14 and a contact part 16.
  • This spring contact 10 is shown in the assembled state and inserted into a housing 18.
  • the contact part holder 12 which consists of an electrically conductive material such as copper and can be connected to a circuit, serves as a contact piece and is integrally formed.
  • left end of the contact part holder 12 has a cylindrical portion 20 which serves the later receiving the spring 14 and the contact part 16.
  • the contact part holder 12 has angled projections 22, on which the spring 14 is supported in the assembled state of the spring contact 10.
  • three extensions 22 are shown, but it could also be only two or more extensions 22 or an angled, circumferential edge on which the spring 14 is supported (not shown).
  • the projections 22 opposite end of the cylindrical portion 20 is bent. This bending takes place, as explained below, after the introduction of the spring 14 and the contact part 16. At the bent end 26, the inserted into the cylindrical portion 20 contact part 16 can lean against. In particular, the contact part 16 can be acted upon by the spring 14 against the end 26.
  • the contact part holder 12 has a web-shaped portion 27.
  • a mounting portion 24 is formed, which can engage, not shown, provided recesses in the housing 18, whereby the contact part holder 12 is fixed to the housing 18.
  • the web-shaped portion 27 engages the inner wall of the housing 18 ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the spring 14 which is here a helical compression spring, is supported on the angled extensions 22 of the contact part holder 12.
  • the spring 14 can act on the contact part 16 against the bent end 26 of the cylindrical portion 20.
  • the cap-shaped contact part 16 which is inserted into the cylindrical portion 27 has a contact surface 28 to which a contact pin (not shown) or the like inserted in the housing 18 can engage. Adjoining the contact surface 28 is an area whose outer diameter corresponds to the diameter of the contact surface 28. A portion of the contact portion 16 opposite the contact surface 28 is formed corresponding to the bent end 26 of the cylindrical portion 20 and leans against this end 26 when urged by the spring 14 against it.
  • the contact part 16 further has a diameter such that it can move axially in the cylindrical portion 20. However, after bending over of the contact part holder 12, the contact part 16 can not get out of the cylindrical section 20.
  • the housing 18 into which the spring contact 10 is shown inserted ( FIG. 2 ), has two different inner diameters.
  • a diameter (according to FIG. 2 seen on the right) is chosen so that the cylindrical portion 20 of the spring contact 10 abuts this, while the second inner diameter is larger and can receive a contact pin (not shown).
  • a portion of the cylindrical portion 20 extends to the contact portion 16. Further, on the wall of the housing 18, a contact is arranged, which is connected to the power source and on which the contact pin can engage. A recess 30, which serves for the subsequent latching of the contact pin, is arranged on the wall of the housing 18.
  • the contact part holder 12 for a spring contact 10 In the manufacture of the contact part holder 12 for a spring contact 10, an electrically conductive material is cut on a punching machine. When bending Among other things, the fastening area 24 are formed. Finally, the intermediate part is rolled, whereby the cylindrical portion 20 is formed.
  • the spring 14 and the cap-shaped contact part 16 are fed to a mounting device and inserted into the cylindrical portion 20 of the contact part holder 12. This insertion is made by the in FIG. 2 seen left end, wherein first the spring 14 and then the contact member 16 is inserted. After insertion of the two parts of the contact part holder 12 is relative to FIG. 2 bent over left end. The spring 14, which is supported on the angled projections 22, then acts on the contact member 16 against the bent end 26. The assembled spring contacts 10 are still connected to the carrier strip 32 with each other and in turn can be wound up as a coil.
  • the spring contact 10 of (with respect FIG. 2 ) is inserted into the housing 18 on the right, with part of the cylindrical portion 20 projecting into the area of the housing 18 with the larger diameter.
  • the mounting portion 24 secures the spring contact 10, in which it engages a recess, not shown, in the housing 18.
  • the carrier strip 32 can also be severed after the introduction of the spring contact 10 into the housing 18.
  • the contact pin For the preparation of an electrical connection, the contact pin, not shown, of the respect FIG. 2 left side introduced. So that the contact pin can engage in the recess 30 in the housing 18, the contact part 16 is pressed against the spring 14 and the contact pin is rotated until it engages in the recess 30. The contact member 16 is acted upon by the spring 14 against the contact pin, that the contact surface 28 engages the contact pin, whereby an electrical connection is made. Due to the Bayonet connection between the contact pin and the housing 18, the contact pin can not solve unintentionally.
