Definitions
- the invention relates to a flat conductor ribbon cable, comprising at least one electrical conductor in the form of a flat strip and an insulating sleeve made of plastic, and a method for its production.
- Flat conductor ribbon cables are subjected to a variety of mechanical stresses, such as tensile stress, bending or vibration, at locations of use. Such locations are, for example, textile machines. If the conductor breaks, the cable loses its function, so it must be replaced. This process is connected to a standstill of the device, which is part of the flat-ribbon cable.
- DE 195 40 807 C1 describes a flat conductor ribbon cable having one or more electrical conductors in the form of flat strips and an insulating sheath made of plastic.
- the conductors have on their flat side on a fiber layer of electrically conductive fibers.
- the fibers are carbon fibers.
- the parallel to the electrical conductor, which is usually made of copper, extending fiber layer should form an electrically conductive layer that is not subject to breakage. If one of the copper conductors breaks, the fiber layer, which is in electrical contact with the broken copper conductor, can bridge the breakage, so that the function of the cable is not lost.
- the fiber layer should also provide for a mechanical reinforcement of the cable.
- the proposed flat conductor ribbon cables also have disadvantages.
- individual carbon fibers emerge from the fiber layer.
- the consequence of the splicing may be the occurrence of shorting bridges.
- the carbon fibers contaminate the machines for making the ribbon cable and the production areas in which these machines are located. This contamination is associated with a health risk, so that expensive and expensive protective measures are necessary.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a flat conductor ribbon cable should be specified which has a high resistance to mechanical stresses, reliably prevents short circuit bridges and can be easily manufactured.
- a conductor ribbon cable is provided, the at least one electrical conductor in the form of a flat strip with at least one fiber layer of electrical comprising conductive fibers and an insulating sheath made of plastic, wherein the fiber layer along the conductor rests against the broad side of the strip and is in electrical contact with the conductor.
- the fibers are metallized plastic fibers.
- the plastic fibers are preferably polyamide fibers. Especially preferred are silver-metallized polyamide fibers.
- the silver content should be between 5 and 30% by weight, based on the weight of the fiber.
- polyamide fibers includes polyamide 6 fibers and also nylon fibers.
- Polyamide fibers have good mechanical properties, while silver has good electrical properties.
- the silver content of the polyamide fibers also provides for improved adhesion of the fibers to the surface of the electrical conductors. In this way, the application of the fiber layer to the conductor is simplified.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that the inventively provided plastic fibers unlike the known carbon fibers do not splice, so that the risk of short circuit breakage does not exist. Furthermore, contamination of the environment is avoided.
- the fibers forming the fiber layer are preferably twisted together. In this way, a better cohesion of the fibers is achieved.
- the length of the fibers preferably corresponds to the length of the conductor to which the fibers are applied.
- the fibers provided according to the invention are commercially available. Examples are Shieldex® Silverline 22 / 1dtex and 44 / 13dtex Z 200 from Statex Materials &maschines GmbH, Bremen, DE.
- the insulating material is preferably polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyamide or polyester, with polyester being particularly preferred.
- the insulation sheath is preferably made of two plastic films between which the fiber-coated conductors are inserted.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Flachleiter-Bandkabel, umfassend zumindest einen elektrischen Leiter in Form eines flachen Streifens und eine Isolierungshülle aus Kunststoff, sowie ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung.The invention relates to a flat conductor ribbon cable, comprising at least one electrical conductor in the form of a flat strip and an insulating sleeve made of plastic, and a method for its production.
Flachleiter-Bandkabel werden an Einsatzorten einer Vielzahl mechanischer Belastungen, beispielsweise Zugspannung, Biegung oder Schwingung, ausgesetzt. Derartige Einsatzorte sind beispielsweise Textilmaschinen. Bricht der Leiter, so verliert das Kabel sein Funktion, so daß es ersetzt werden muß. Dieser Vorgang ist mit einem Stillstand der Einrichtung verbunden, dessen Bestandteil das Flachleiter-Bandkabel ist.Flat conductor ribbon cables are subjected to a variety of mechanical stresses, such as tensile stress, bending or vibration, at locations of use. Such locations are, for example, textile machines. If the conductor breaks, the cable loses its function, so it must be replaced. This process is connected to a standstill of the device, which is part of the flat-ribbon cable.
Die vorgeschlagenen Flachleiter-Bandkabel weisen jedoch auch Nachteile auf. Insbesondere besteht die Gefahr, daß die Kohlenstoffasern aufspleißen. Dabei treten einzelne Kohlenstoffasern aus der Faserlage heraus. Die Folge des Aufspleißen kann das Auftreten von Kurzschlußbrücken sein.However, the proposed flat conductor ribbon cables also have disadvantages. In particular, there is a risk that the carbon fibers splice. In the process, individual carbon fibers emerge from the fiber layer. The consequence of the splicing may be the occurrence of shorting bridges.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der genannten Flachleiter-Bandkabel ist mit den Schwierigkeiten ihrer Herstellung verbunden. Insbesondere ist es schwierig, die Kohlenstoffasern, die die Faserlage bilden, auf dem Kupferleiter zu positionieren, da die Faserbüschel vom dem Leiter leicht abrutschen.Another disadvantage of said flat conductor ribbon cable is associated with the difficulties of their manufacture. In particular, it is difficult to position the carbon fibers forming the fiber layer on the copper conductor because the tufts easily slip off the conductor.
Überdies kontaminieren die Kohlenstoffasern bei ihrer Verarbeitung die Maschinen zur Herstellung der Flachleiter-Bandkabel und die Produktionsräume, in denen sich diese Maschinen befinden. Diese Kontamination ist mit einem Gesundheitsrisiko verbunden, so daß aufwendigen und teueren Schutzmaßnahmen notwendig sind.Moreover, when processed, the carbon fibers contaminate the machines for making the ribbon cable and the production areas in which these machines are located. This contamination is associated with a health risk, so that expensive and expensive protective measures are necessary.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile nach dem Stand der Technik zu beseitigen. Es soll insbesondere ein Flachleiter-Bandkabel angegeben werden, daß eine hohe Beständigkeit gegen mechanische Belastungen aufweist, Kurzschlußbrücken zuverlässig verhindert und einfach hergestellt werden kann.The object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a flat conductor ribbon cable should be specified which has a high resistance to mechanical stresses, reliably prevents short circuit bridges and can be easily manufactured.

Die Fasern sind metallisierte Kunststoffasern.According to the invention, a conductor ribbon cable is provided, the at least one electrical conductor in the form of a flat strip with at least one fiber layer of electrical comprising conductive fibers and an insulating sheath made of plastic, wherein the fiber layer along the conductor rests against the broad side of the strip and is in electrical contact with the conductor. The fibers are metallized plastic fibers.
Die Kunststoffasern sind vorzugsweise Polyamid-Fasern. Besonderes bevorzugt sind mit Silber metallisierte Polyamid-Fasern. Dabei sollte der Silberanteil zwischen 5 und 30 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Gewicht der Faser, betragen.The plastic fibers are preferably polyamide fibers. Especially preferred are silver-metallized polyamide fibers. The silver content should be between 5 and 30% by weight, based on the weight of the fiber.
Der Begriff "Polyamid-Fasern" umfaßt Polyamid-6-Fasern und auch Nylon-Fasern. Polyamid-Fasern besitzen gute mechanische Eigenschaften, während Silber gute elektrische Eigenschaften besitzt. Der Silberanteil an den Polyamid-Fasern sorgt überdies für eine verbessere Haftung der Fasern auf der Oberfläche der elektrischen Leiter. Auf diese Weise wird das Aufbringen der Faserschicht auf den Leiter vereinfacht.The term "polyamide fibers" includes
Die Erfinder haben überraschenderweise festgestellt, daß die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Kunststoffasern im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Kohlenstoffasern nicht aufspleißen, so daß die Gefahr von Kurzschlußbrüchen nicht besteht. Ferner wird eine Kontamination der Umgebung vermieden.The inventors have surprisingly found that the inventively provided plastic fibers unlike the known carbon fibers do not splice, so that the risk of short circuit breakage does not exist. Furthermore, contamination of the environment is avoided.
Die Fasern, die die Faserlage bilden, sind vorzugsweise miteinander verdrillt. Auf diese Weise wird ein besserer Zusammenhalt der Fasern erreicht. Die Länge der Fasern entspricht vorzugsweise der Länge des Leiters, auf den die Fasern aufgebracht werden.The fibers forming the fiber layer are preferably twisted together. In this way, a better cohesion of the fibers is achieved. The length of the fibers preferably corresponds to the length of the conductor to which the fibers are applied.
Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Fasern sind kommerziell erhältlich. Beispiele hierfür sind Shieldex® Silverline 22/1dtex und 44/13dtex Z 200 der Statex Produktions & Vertriebs GmbH, Bremen, DE.The fibers provided according to the invention are commercially available. Examples are Shieldex® Silverline 22 / 1dtex and 44 / 13dtex Z 200 from Statex Produktions & Vertriebs GmbH, Bremen, DE.
Das Isoliermaterial besteht vorzugsweise aus Polyethylennaphthalat (PEN), Polyamid oder Polyester, wobei Polyester besonders bevorzugt ist.The insulating material is preferably polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyamide or polyester, with polyester being particularly preferred.
Die Isolierungshülle besteht vorzugsweise aus zwei Kunststoffolien, zwischen die die Faser-beschichteten Leiter eingebracht sind. Die beiden Kunststoffolien sind an ihren Längsrändern miteinander verschweißt. Alternativ können die beiden Kunststoffolien miteinander verklebt sein.The insulation sheath is preferably made of two plastic films between which the fiber-coated conductors are inserted. The two plastic films are welded together at their longitudinal edges. Alternatively, the two plastic films can be glued together.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zwei elektrische Leiter vorgesehen, wobei jeder Leiter eine Faserlage aufweist.In a preferred embodiment, two electrical conductors are provided, each conductor having a fiber layer.
Ein bevorzugtes Verfahren zur Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Flachleiter-Bandkabels umfaßt die folgenden Schritte:
- a) Aufbringen der metallisierten Kunststoffasern auf den Leiter unter Erhalt Faser-beschichteter Leiter;
- b) Aufbringen der Faser-beschichteten Leiter auf eine erste Kunststoffolie; und
- c) Aufbringen der zweiten Kunststoffolie auf die Seite der ersten Kunststoffolie, auf die die Faser-beschichteten Leiter in Schritt (b) aufgebracht worden sind.
- a) applying the metallized plastic fibers to the conductor to obtain a fiber-coated conductor;
- b) applying the fiber-coated conductors to a first plastic film; and
- c) applying the second plastic film to the side of the first plastic film to which the fiber-coated conductors have been applied in step (b).
Die beiden Kunststoffolien werden miteinander verklebt oder an ihren Rändern miteinander verscheißt. Werden die beiden Kunststoffolien miteinander verklebt, so weist zumindest eine der Kunststoffolien, vorzugsweise beide Kunststoffolien, auf einer ihrer Längsseiten eine Beschichtung aus einem Klebstoff auf. Die beiden Kunststoffolien werden dann so aufeinander positioniert, daß sich die Klebstoff-Beschichtung(en) zwischen den beiden Kunststoffolien befinden.The two plastic films are glued together or verscheißt each other at their edges. If the two plastic films are glued together, at least one of the plastic films, preferably both plastic films, has a coating of an adhesive on one of its longitudinal sides. The two plastic sheets are then positioned one on top of the other so that the adhesive coating (s) are between the two plastic sheets.
