Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact spring according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 or 2.
  • a contact spring which has in each case in the direction of a contact surface fins, wherein the fins can be brought into contact with contact points on the contact surfaces is from the EP 1 523 069 known.
  • the contact spring described and shown there has a mounting end with which the contact spring in or on a support frame can be fixed. A free end facing away from the attachment end can move in a recess of the support frame in one direction, this free movement being important when the contact spring is brought between the two contact surfaces while being pressed together.
  • Such known contact springs are mainly used in the contacting of antenna amplifiers with antenna structures, which are located in or on a flat component of a vehicle, in particular a disc.
  • US 2005/0020158 discloses an arrangement comprising a contact spring and contact surfaces according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to further improve the known lamellar contact springs that they are optimized in terms of their application in the contacting of electronic devices, in particular AntennenverEntm, in vehicles with electrically conductive structures in planar components, in particular antenna structures in vehicle windows ,
  • the at least one contact point of the contact spring has a coating, preferably the contact points of the contact spring have a coating, wherein the respective material of the coating of the contact spring is adapted to the material of the contact surface.
  • the contact spring consists of a first material, which is to be referred to as base material. In the areas and the areas next to it, with which the vaults of the slats can be brought to the contact surfaces to the plant, either the base material of the contact spring has the same material as the contact surface itself. As a result, a contact corrosion can be largely avoided or even completely avoided.
  • the base material of the contact spring is a different material than the one contact surface or even other than both contact surfaces, it is provided to provide the contact points of the blades of the contact spring with the same material of which the contact surface consists, so that the adjacent areas consist of the same material.
  • the coating of the contact points of the contact spring consists of the same material as the contact surfaces on which the lamellae can be brought into contact.
  • the base material of the contact spring consists of a first material, wherein the two contact surfaces made of different materials of this material and the contact points of the slats are coated with the respective materials, with which they can later be brought to the contact surface to the plant are.
  • the coating of the contact points of the slats can be done for example by a galvanic coating, wherein it is also conceivable that electrically conductive materials can be applied, which are mixed with electrically conductive materials (keyword: electrically conductive plastic).
  • the contact surface on the vehicle window where the antenna conductor structure is to be contacted with the antenna amplifier, consists of silver, while the contact surface at the end point of the track of the antenna amplifier is made of gold.
  • the base material of the contact spring would be only spring plate in total, it could lead to the described phenomena of resolution due to the different voltage series of the metal materials. This is avoided with the invention in that the directed in the direction of the contact surface of the vehicle window slats are coated with silver, while in the direction of the contact surface on the circuit board of the antenna amplifier directed fins are coated with gold, while the base material of the contact spring, a metal good Have spring properties.
  • the number of lamellae in the direction of the one contact surface and / or the width thereof is different from the number of lamellas and / or their width in the direction of the further contact surface.
  • the total width of all the fins on each side of the contact spring may be the same. This means that with different width and different number of slats on one side and on the other side, the spring force and the spring travel is the same. However, if different spring forces and / or spring travel required, this can be achieved by the inventive design of Slats are also possible. However, if the effect is desired that the contact force on both sides of the contact spring is the same, the number of all fins on each side of the contact spring may be the same.
  • the attachment end of the contact spring in only one predeterminable position on a support, a support frame, a support plate or the like can be fixed.
  • the attachment end of the contact spring and / or the mounting region of the carrier on which the attachment end of the contact spring is set formally designed so that only just one position of the contact spring to the carrier is possible.
  • the correct position positioning of the contact spring in or on the support frame is important because on the one hand an automated assembly, just for large numbers, is possible. In addition, it is thus avoided that differently dimensioned contact springs are used in one and the same support frame.
  • the contact spring is tuned to a certain distance between the two contact surfaces to each other and this distance may vary, for example, in different vehicle models.
  • the correct position positioning of the contact spring in the support frame is also important to place them laterally correct with different contact surfaces and / or contact forces.
  • Embodiments of the invention to which, however, is not limited, are in the FIGS. 1 to 6 shown.
  • FIG. 1 shows, as far as shown in detail, the basic arrangement of a lamellar contact spring 1 between two contact surfaces 2 and 3, wherein z. B. the contact surface 2 on the side of a circuit board of an antenna amplifier and the contact surface 3 is arranged on the side of a planar component of a vehicle with antenna conductor structure.
  • z. B. the contact surface 2 on the side of a circuit board of an antenna amplifier and the contact surface 3 is arranged on the side of a planar component of a vehicle with antenna conductor structure.
  • Such a basic structure as in FIG. 1 is shown constructively detailed from the EP 1 080 513 known.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the contact spring 1 consists of a base material with spring properties and has a mounting end 4 and a freely movable end 5. Between these two ends 4, 5 a lamellar connection, once in the direction of the contact surface 2 and once in the direction of the contact surface 3, is present.
  • This in FIG. 2 shown shaping of the contact spring 1 can be produced by a simple punching process.
  • the number of slats and / or their width in the direction of the one contact surface is different, or if desired, also equal, to the number of slats and / or their width in the direction of the further contact surfaces, so that the same or different Contact forces or the same or different spring travel are adjustable.
  • the contact force spring force by number of slats results in the contact force
  • the abrasion on the contact surface 2, 3 can be reduced or even avoided, because when loading the contact spring 1 with an axial force (s. FIG. 4 ), the freely movable side 5 of the contact spring can move freely, without the contact spring 1 bends itself.
  • FIG. 4 shows the contact spring 1, which is fixed to a support, not shown, with its attachment point 4, so that the freely movable side 5 of the contact spring 1 can move in the direction of arrow or opposite to the direction of the arrow, if from above or below the axial forces during and after Installation of the contact spring acting on the slats.
  • FIG. 5 Finally, the contact spring 1 in a carrier 10 (in particular a support frame for receiving the circuit board of an antenna amplifier), wherein the shape of the attachment end 4 of the contact spring 1 and the associated mounting portion of the contact spring 1 to the carrier 10 due to their shape defining the contact spring allow on the carrier 10 only in a predetermined position.
  • a carrier 10 in particular a support frame for receiving the circuit board of an antenna amplifier
  • the attachment end 4 of the contact spring 1 may be rounded, bevelled, be provided with indentations or bulges or asymmetrical shapes and have this shape corresponding to the carrier 10.
  • the Carrier 10 also has a corresponding shape, for example due to a depression into which the attachment end 4 is inserted, or by a correspondingly provided oblique web.
  • the coding by means of fastening means such as latching hooks, locking lugs, barbs or the like to realize.
  • the carrier 10 may have two protruding domes of different diameters, while the attachment end 4 has two openings also of different diameters.
  • the determination of the contact spring 1 on the carrier 10 by force and / or positive engagement such as by caulking, hot stamping, ultrasonic riveting, gluing, lawn, screws or the like.
  • the at least one contact spring 1 is also positioned at the same time, so that a subsequent assembly of the contact spring 1 after the production of the carrier 10 is omitted.
  • FIG. 6 It is shown that in the carrier frame used (for example, carrier 10), in which the at least one contact spring is arranged, stops for Wegbegrenzung for the spring travel are integrated. This is particularly important so that they can not be damaged during transportation and improper handling of the installed contact springs. Preferably, these attacks can be provided in the mounting and mounting elements of the contact spring, but also be installed as independent modules on the support frame cost. The attacks are in the FIG. 6 , Reference numeral 11 recognizable.
