Definitions

  • the present invention has as its object a method for connecting together contact surfaces for electric connections.
  • This invention has been devised for carrying out the mutual connection between contact surfaces of two pieces of different nature (materials, shape, dimensions, etc.) in order to thus make up electric connectors.
  • GB 2 328 804 A discloses a method for connecting together contact surfaces for electric connections in the formation of electric connectors being made up of two pieces of different nature as regards mainly the type of material, the shape, the dimensions and other aspects, wherein one of the pieces is tubular and effects the connection of the electrical lead of the corresponding cable and the other piece is elongated and effects the contact for establishing the connection of items of equipment of the type of transformers, electrical switchboards and the like; the method comprising the following stages: aligning the two pieces in such a way as to have the tubular piece and the elongated piece positioned in a coaxial arrangement; riveting the elongated piece against the tubular piece.
  • the invention is a method according to claim 1.
  • the respective surfaces of the elongated piece and the introduction end of the tubular piece may be smooth and the fitting and introduction of the elongated piece into the inside of the tubular piece through said end may be carried out by snugly sliding it thereinto.
  • the method may incorporate an intermediary piece between the portion of the elongated piece being located in the inside of the tubular piece and the cavity of the tubular piece adjacent to the introduction end and effects the riveting of said intermediary piece between the two pieces namely being the elongated one and the tubular one.
  • a connector (1) being known in the corresponding art is illustrated in them, this type of connectors comprising a tubular body (2) one of whose ends forms an open end (4), and a connecting element (5) being formed by an elongated piece as a by way of stud having an intermediary annular stop collar (7).
  • this connecting element (5) is previously arranged (see Fig. 1 ) in an aligned arrangement with respect to the tubular body (2), with its threaded back end (5') facing the also threaded open end (4) of the body (2), to thereupon and in a second stage ( Fig. 2 ) have it threadingly engaged into said open end till the stop collar (7) comes into abutment with it.
  • the end (5') of the connecting element (5) is sufficiently long as from the stop collar (7) as to once having been fitted to the body (2) project in its inside from the back portion of the open end (4) so as to in a third and last stage ( Fig. 3 ) be riveted against this latter, the body (2) and the element (5) thus being perfectly and solidly connected together.
  • the tubular body (2) conventionally has in its cylindrical surface a threaded hole (8) with a countersunk outer opening for the fitting of a screw (not shown) preferentially being of the dynamometric screw type and having a predetermined torque for its rupture when being tightened, for the fastening of the electrical lead of the cable to the electric connector, all this in order to prevent any tampering after the fitting operation, said screw being operable for gripping against the inner portion of the body (2) the pertinent electrical lead of the cable (neither shown) being introduced into said body through the free open end being opposite to the open end (4).
  • the invention provides if necessary for the use of an intermediary piece between the elongated connecting element (5) and the tubular body (2), said intermediary piece being subjected to a riveting operation and being thus deformed and thus connecting together the contact surfaces of both pieces or elements namely being the elongated one (5) and the tubular one (2).

  1. Verfahren zum gegenseitigen Verbinden von Kontaktflächen für elektrische Anschlüsse bei der Ausbildung von elektrischen Verbindern, die aus zwei unterschiedlichen Teilen bestehen, was hauptsächlich die Art des Materials, die Form, die Abmessungen und andere Aspekte betrifft, wobei eines der Teile (2) röhrenförmig ist und die Verbindung der elektrischen Ader des entsprechenden Kabels bewirkt und das andere Teil (5) länglich ist und den Kontakt zur Herstellung der Verbindung von Ausrüstungsgegenständen, wie Transformatoren, elektrische Schalttafeln und dergleichen, bewirkt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es folgende Schritte umfasst:
    - Ausrichten beider Teile in einer Weise, sodass das röhrenförmige Teil und das längliche Teil koaxial angeordnet sind;
    - Einführen eines Teilbereichs des länglichen Teils durch ein Ende des röhrenförmigen Teils bis zu einem dazwischenliegenden Anschlagbund (7), der am länglichen Teil vorgesehen ist; und
    - Vernieten des Teilbereichs des sich im Inneren des röhrenförmigen Teils befindlichen länglichen Teils an der Aussparung, die an das Einführungsende des röhrenförmigen Teils angrenzt; und
    beide Teile sind an den gegenseitigen Kontaktflächen mit einem Gewinde versehen, wobei das längliche Teil durch ein Ende des röhrenförmigen Teils eingeführt und mit diesem durch Schraubbewegungen verbunden wird.
  2. Verfahren nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die jeweiligen Flächen des länglichen Teils und das Einführungsende des röhrenförmigen Teils glatt sind und das Einpassen und Einführen des länglichen Teils in das Innere des röhrenförmigen Teils durch das besagte Ende dadurch erfolgt, dass es passgenau in dieses hineingeschoben wird.
  3. Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass zwischen den Teilbereich des im Inneren des röhrenförmigen Teils befindlichen länglichen Teils und die an das Einführungsende angrenzende Aussparung des röhrenförmigen Teils ein Zwischenstück eingefügt und die Vernietung dieses Zwischenstücks zwischen den beiden Teilen bewirkt wird.
