Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Schneid-Klemm-Verbindung und einem Verfahren zum Verbinden zweier Bauteile nach der Gattung der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The invention is based on an insulation displacement connection and a method for connecting two components according to the preamble of the independent claims.
Aus der US 2001/0022050 Al ist ein Elektronikmodul bekannt geworden, das in den Elektromotor eines Fensterhebers einschiebbar ist. Zur elektrischen Verbindung vom Steckeranschluss zum Kollektor des Elektromotors sind an dem Elektronikmodul gabelartige Motorstrom-Stecker angeformt, in die korrespondierende zungenartige Stecker- Pins des Elektromotors eingreifen können. Damit die Motor-Pins leichter in die gabelartigen Stecker eingeführt werden können, weisen letztere eine Verdünnung auf, aufgrund derer die gabelartigen Stecker in einem gewissen Bereich aus der Fügerichtung verkippt werden können. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass der Stecker-Pin beim Einführen in den gabelartigen Stecker leicht verkanten kann, da die beiden Steckelemente nicht mehr beide entlang einer gemeinsamen Geraden entlang der Einschubrichtung angeordnet sind.From US 2001/0022050 Al an electronic module is known, which is inserted into the electric motor of a window regulator. For electrical connection from the plug connection to the collector of the electric motor, fork-shaped motor current plugs are formed on the electronic module, in which corresponding tongue-like plug pins of the electric motor can intervene. Thus, the motor pins can be easily inserted into the fork-like connector, the latter have a dilution, due to which the fork-like connector can be tilted in a certain range from the joining direction. However, this has the disadvantage that the plug pin can easily tilt when inserted into the fork-like connector, since the two plug-in elements are no longer arranged along a common straight line along the direction of insertion.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Die erfindungsgemäße Schneid-Klemm-Verbindung, sowie das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Verbinden zweier Bauteile mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche haben demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass zumindest ein Schneid- Klemm- Element in einer Ebene quer zur Einschubrichtung verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann beim Einfügen des ersten Schneid- Klemm- Elements das zweite Schneid- Klemm- Element derart positioniert werden, dass beide Schneid- Klemm- Elemente exakt auf einer Geraden entlang der Fügerichtung angeordnet sind. Aufgrund des Verschiebens des einen Schneid- Klemm- Elements quer zur Fügerichtung wird ein Verkanten der beiden Schneid- Klemm- Elementen zueinander verhindert, wobei trotz der beweglichen Anordnung eine zuverlässige elektrische Hochstromverbindung gewährleistet ist. Eine solche Schneidklemmverbindung 37 bildet eine Zugentlastung, die auch über große Temperaturschwankungen und große Lebensdauern die Befestigung der Schneid- Klemm- Elemente an den Bauteilen zuverlässig schützt.The inventive insulation displacement connection, as well as the inventive method for connecting two components with the features of the independent claims have the advantage that at least one insulation displacement element is arranged transversely to the insertion direction in a plane displaceable. As a result, when inserting the first insulation displacement element, the second insulation displacement element can be positioned such that both insulation displacement elements are arranged exactly on a straight line along the joining direction. Due to the displacement of an insulation displacement element transverse to the joining direction tilting of the two insulation displacement elements is prevented from each other, wherein despite the movable arrangement, a reliable electrical high-current connection is ensured. Such a insulation displacement connection 37 forms a strain relief, which reliably protects the attachment of the insulation displacement elements to the components, even over large temperature fluctuations and long lifetimes.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gegebenen Merkmale möglich. Besonders günstig ist es dabei, mindestens ein Schneid- Klemm- Element mittels eines Biegebereichs an dem entsprechenden Bauteil zu befestigen, so dass auch im beweglichen Bereich, mit dem das Schneid- Klemm- Element mit dem Bauteil verbunden ist, eine zuverlässige elektrische Stromführung aufgrund des einteilig mit dem Schneid-Klemm-Element ausgeführten Biegebereichs des elektrischen Leiters gewährleistet ist.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the features given in the independent claims are possible. It is particularly advantageous to attach at least one insulation displacement element by means of a bending region to the corresponding component, so that even in the movable region, with which the insulation displacement element is connected to the component, a reliable electrical current guidance due to is ensured in one piece with the cutting-clamping element running bending region of the electrical conductor.
Aufgrund einer erfindungsgemäßen Weiterbildung, bei der eine Verbindung als Flachband- Verbindung ausgebildet ist, die im Bereich ihres freien Endes einDue to a further development according to the invention, in which a connection is designed as a ribbon connection, which in the region of its free end a
Schneidklemmverbindungselement und mindestens eine Stützschulter zur Aufnahme einer Zusammenfügkraft beim Verbinden mit einem Gegenelement aufweist, ist ein hochstrombelastbarer, einfacher Verbindungsweg geschaffen. Die Hochstromverbindung führt von dem Substrat, mit dem sie vorzugsweise direkt verbunden ist, über das Schneidklemmverbindungselement zu einem mit letzterem durch Zusammenfügkraft verbundenen Gegenelement, wobei der beschriebene Verbindungsweg als Flachband- Verbindung ausgebildet ist, die einstückig ausgestaltet ist, sodass nur eine Verbindungsstelle mit dem Schneidklemmverbindungselement vorliegt. Um das Schneidklemmverbindungselement mit einem entsprechenden Gegenelement zu verbinden, muss eine Zusammenfügkraft aufgebracht werden, die von der mindestens einen Stützschulter abgefangen wird, sodass keine unzulässigen Kräfte beim mechanischen Verbinden in das Substrat eingeleitet werden. Es liegt demgemäß eine sehr niederohmige Verbindung vor, die überdies hochstrombelastbar ist und einfach und problemlos gehandhabt werden kann.IDC connection element and at least one support shoulder for receiving a Zusammenfügkraft when connecting to a counter-element, a high current-carrying, simple connection path is created. The high current connection leads from the substrate to which it is preferably directly connected via the insulation displacement connection element to a mating element connected to the latter by mating force, wherein the described connection path is formed as a flat band connection which is integrally formed so that only one connection point with the insulation displacement connection element is present. In order to connect the insulation displacement connection element with a corresponding counter element, a joining force has to be applied, which is intercepted by the at least one support shoulder, so that no unacceptable forces are introduced into the substrate during the mechanical connection. Accordingly, there is a very low-resistance connection, which is also highly current-carrying and can be handled easily and easily.
Weiter ist vorgesehen, dass die Flachband-Verbindung als Metallstreifen, insbesondere Blechstanzteil, ausgebildet ist. Ein derartiger Metallstreifen ist hochstromfest und sehr einfach einstückig insbesondere als Blechstanzteil herstellbar.It is further provided that the ribbon connection is formed as a metal strip, in particular sheet metal stamped part. Such a metal strip is highly resistant to current and very easily in one piece, in particular produced as a sheet metal stamping.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, mindestens zwei, einander gegenüberliegende Stützschultern vorzusehen. Die Flachband-Verbindung stützt sich beim Zusammenfügen mit dem Gegenelement an den beiden Stützschultern ab, wodurch hohe Zusammenfügekräfte problemlos aufgebracht werden können, ohne dass es zu unzulässigen Krafteinleitungen kommt.Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide at least two opposing support shoulders. The ribbon connection is supported during assembly with the counter-element on the two support shoulders, resulting in high joining forces can be applied without problems, without resulting in impermissible force discharges.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der direkte Anschluss der Schneid- Klemm- Elemente an den Bauteilen, z. B. dem Substrat als Löt-, Schweiß- und/oder Nietverbindung ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the direct connection of the insulation displacement elements to the components, for. B. the substrate is designed as a soldering, welding and / or riveting.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Flachband-Verbindung in Richtung ihrer Längserstreckung durch die Ausbildung mindestens einer Biegestelle verformbar ist. Demzufolge liegt beim Zusammenfügen mit dem Gegenelement eine gewisse Verformbarkeit vor, sodass Toleranzen ausgeglichen werden können. Die Biegestelle ist bevorzugt als U-Steg ausgebildet. Dies bedeutet, dass die Flachband-Verbindung bis zur Biegestelle verläuft, dort aus ihrer Längserstreckung in die U- Form des U-Stegs übergeht und von dort wiederum in die ursprüngliche Längserstreckungsrichtung. Der U-Steg weist im Wesentlichen einen quadratischen Querschnitt auf, sodass eine gute Verformbarkeit besteht, die hinsichtlich des sonst im Wesentlichen vorzugsweise rechteckigen, insbesondere lang-rechteckigen Querschnitts der Flachband-Verbindung nicht gegeben ist.A development of the invention provides that the flat-band connection is deformable in the direction of its longitudinal extent by the formation of at least one bending point. As a result, when assembling with the mating element, there is some deformability so that tolerances can be compensated. The bending point is preferably designed as a U-web. This means that the flat-band connection extends to the bending point, there transitions from its longitudinal extension into the U-shape of the U-web and from there again in the original longitudinal direction. The U-web has a substantially square cross-section, so that a good deformability exists, which is not given in terms of otherwise substantially preferably rectangular, in particular long-rectangular cross section of the ribbon connection.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Schneidklemmverbindungselement als Einsteckschlitz für einen Einstecksteg des Gegenelements oder als Einstecksteg für einen Einsteckschlitz des Gegenelements ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the insulation displacement connection element is designed as a plug-in slot for a Einstecksteg of the counter element or as Einstecksteg for a Einsteckschlitz of the counter element.
Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Leistungselektronikvorrichtung mit einer Leistungselektronikschaltung, insbesondere wie vorstehend beschrieben, wobei eine mit der Flachband-Verbindung durch Zusammenfügen elektrisch verbundene Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung vorgesehen ist. Diese Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung ist bevorzugt als Gegenelement ausgebildet oder weist dieses auf.Furthermore, the invention relates to a power electronics device with a power electronics circuit, in particular as described above, wherein an electrically connected to the ribbon connection by joining opposing flat-ribbon connection is provided. This counter-ribbon connection is preferably designed as a counter element or has this.
Ferner ist vorgesehen, dass die Gegen-Flachband-Verbindung als Metallstreifen, insbesondere Blechstanzteil, ausgebildet ist. Demzufolge ist der grundsätzliche Aufbau von Flachband-Verbindung und Gegen-Flachbandverbindung sehr ähnlich. Unterschiedlich sind lediglich die Verbindungselemente, um die Teile zusammenfügen zu können. Diese Verbindungselemente müssen einander entsprechend ausgebildet sein, um durch Zusammenfügen, insbesondere Zusammenstecken, eine elektrisch haltbare Verbindung zu schaffen. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass diese elektrische Verbindung als nach dem Zusammenfügen unlösbare Verbindung ausgebildet ist. Die Unlösbarkeit resultiert daraus, dass beim Zusammenfügen eine entsprechende Materialverformung stattfindet. Weiter ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest eines der Bauteile einen elektrisch nicht leitenden Lagerkanal aufweist, in den die Flachband-Verbindung derart eingelegt ist, dass sie sich mit ihrer mindestens einen Stützschulter, vorzugsweise mit beiden Stützschultern, an den Kanalrändern abstützt. Demzufolge ist die Flachband-Verbindung in Längsrichtung des Kanals verschiebbar, jedoch quer dazu abgestützt, sodass das Gegenelement mit einer entsprechenden Zusammenfügekraft zum elektrischen Verbinden zugeführt werden kann.It is further provided that the counter-ribbon connection is formed as a metal strip, in particular sheet metal stamped part. Consequently, the basic structure of ribbon connection and counter-ribbon connection is very similar. The only difference is the connecting elements in order to be able to join the parts together. These fasteners must be designed according to each other to provide by joining, in particular mating, an electrically durable connection. It is preferably provided that this electrical connection is designed as a non-detachable connection after assembly. The insolubility results from the fact that a corresponding material deformation takes place during assembly. It is further provided that at least one of the components has an electrically non-conductive bearing channel, in which the ribbon connection is inserted such that it is supported with its at least one support shoulder, preferably with two support shoulders, at the channel edges. Consequently, the ribbon connection is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the channel, but supported transversely thereto, so that the counter element can be supplied with a corresponding joining force for electrical connection.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass nach Fertigstellung des Zusammenfügens von Flachband- Verbindung und Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung ein hermetisches Verschließen erfolgt, sodass dann auch keine optische Kontrolle mehr möglich ist. Das hermetische Verschließen kann beispielsweise durch Einbringen in ein Gehäuse, Eingießen und/oder Umspritzen mit einem elektrischen nicht leitenden Material erfolgen.Preferably, it is provided that after completion of the assembly of flat-band connection and counter-flat-band connection, a hermetic sealing takes place, so that then no optical control is possible. The hermetic sealing can be done for example by placing in a housing, pouring and / or encapsulation with an electrically non-conductive material.
Das erfindungsgemäße Fügeverfahren hat den Vorteil, dass durch die Messung des Fügekraftverlaufs die korrekte Ausbildung der Schneidklemmverbindung und der mechanischen Fügeverbindung überwacht werden kann, auch dann, wenn die Schneidklemmverbindungen nicht sichtbar sind. Durch die Einstellung einer maximalen Fügekraft kann der Fügeprozess definiert beendet werden, sodass immer eine zuverlässige Verbindung durch den gleichen Kraftschluss gewährleistet ist.The joining method according to the invention has the advantage that the correct formation of the insulation displacement connection and the mechanical joint connection can be monitored by measuring the joining force profile, even if the insulation displacement connections are not visible. By setting a maximum joining force, the joining process can be ended defined, so that a reliable connection is always guaranteed by the same adhesion.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein Substrat 1, das als Leiterplatte 2 ausgebildet ist. Auf der Leiterplatte 2 befindet sich eine Leistungselektronik, die der Einfachheit halber nicht dargestellt ist. An der Leiterplatte 2, also an einer Kontaktfläche 40, die mit der Leistungselektronik verbunden ist, ist eine elektrische, hochstrombelastbare Verbindung 3 angeschlossen, wobei die Anschlussstelle 4 als Löt-, Schweiß- und/oder Nietverbindung ausgebildet sein kann. Die Anschlussstelle 4 ist als direkte Anschlussstelle 4 ausgebildet, das heißt, die Verbindung 3 ist direkt mit der erwähnten Kontaktfläche 40 verbunden.FIG. 1 shows a substrate 1, which is designed as a printed circuit board 2. On the circuit board 2 is a power electronics, which is not shown for simplicity. On the circuit board 2, so on a contact surface 40 which is connected to the power electronics, an electrical, high-current-loadable connection 3 is connected, wherein the connection point 4 may be formed as a soldering, welding and / or rivet connection. The connection point 4 is designed as a direct connection point 4, that is, the connection 3 is connected directly to the mentioned contact surface 40.
Die Verbindung 3 ist als Flachband-Verbindung 5 ausgebildet. Sie besteht aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Metallstreifen 6, der im Wesentlichen einem rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweist. Der eine Endbereich 7 ist mit Kröpfung 8 versehen. An die Kröpfung 8 schließt sich ein geradlinig verlaufender Bereich 9 an, der in eine Biegestelle 10 übergeht. Die Biegestelle 10 überragt den Metallstreifen 6 seitlich und weist einen etwa quadratischen Querschnitt auf. Von der Breitseite des Bereichs 9 her betrachtet ist die Biegestelle 10 als U-Steg 11 ausgebildet. Bei einem nichtdargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann anstelle des U-Stegs 11 auch ein mäanderförmiges Element vorgesehen sein.The compound 3 is formed as a ribbon connection 5. It consists of an electrically conductive metal strip 6, which has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The one end portion 7 is provided with offset 8. The bend 8 is followed by a rectilinearly extending region 9, which merges into a bending point 10. The bending point 10 projects beyond the metal strip 6 laterally and has an approximately square cross-section. Viewed from the broad side of the region 9, the bending point 10 is designed as a U-web 11. In a non-illustrated embodiment, instead of the U-web 11, a meandering element may be provided.
Nach der Biegestelle 10 geht der Metallstreifen 6 wieder in seinen rechteckigen Flachbandquerschnitt über und taucht in einen Lagerkanal 12 ein, der in einem Stützelement 13 aus elektrisch nicht leitendem Material ausgebildet ist. Der Endbereich 7 ist innerhalb des Lagerkanals 12 nach oben, in Einssteckrichtung 50 hin abgebogen (Biegung 14) und verläuft bis zu einem ersten Schneid-Klemm-Element 15, das außerhalb des Lagerkanals 12 liegt. Das Schneid-Klemm-Element 15 ist im Bereich eines freien Endes 16 der Flachband-Verbindung 5 ausgebildet. Dort befinden sich zwei aneinander gegenüberliegende Stützschultern 17 der Flachband-Verbindung 5, die einstückig mit dem Metallstreifen 6 ausgebildet sind und sich an den Kanalrändern des Lagerkanals 12 abstützen. Das Schneid-Klemm-Element 15 weist einen Einsteckschlitz 18 auf, das heißt, endseitig ist die Flachband-Verbindung 5 gabelartig mit zwei Gabelzinken 19, 20 gestaltet. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 liegt - gegenüber der Figur 1 - eine identische Ausbildung vor, sodass auf die vorstehende Beschreibung verwiesen wird. Unterschiedlich ist lediglich, dass am ersten Schneid- Klemm- Element 15 kein Einsteckschlitz 18 vorhanden ist, sondern dass anstelle von diesem ein Einstecksteg 21 ausgebildet ist. Der Einstecksteg 21 ist an beiden Enden mit der übrigen Struktur des Metallstreifens 6 verbunden, das heißt, ein Ende des Einsteckstegs 21 steht mit einem ersten Schenkel 25 des ersten Schneid- Klemm- Elements 15 und das andere Ende mit einem zweiten Schenkel 26 einstückig in Verbindung.After the bending point 10 of the metal strip 6 goes back into its rectangular ribbon cross section and immersed in a bearing channel 12, which is formed in a support member 13 of electrically non-conductive material. The end portion 7 is bent within the bearing channel 12 upwards, in Einssteckrichtung 50 out (bend 14) and extends to a first insulation displacement element 15, which is located outside of the bearing channel 12. The insulation displacement element 15 is formed in the region of a free end 16 of the ribbon connection 5. There are two mutually opposite support shoulders 17 of the ribbon connection 5, which are integrally formed with the metal strip 6 and are supported on the channel edges of the bearing channel 12. The insulation displacement element 15 has a Einsteckschlitz 18, that is, the end, the flat-band connection 5 fork-like with two forks 19, 20 designed. In the embodiment of Figure 2 is - compared to the figure 1 - before an identical training, so reference is made to the above description. The only difference is that on the first insulation displacement element 15 no insertion slot 18 is present, but that instead of this Einstecksteg 21 is formed. The Einstecksteg 21 is connected at both ends with the remaining structure of the metal strip 6, that is, one end of the Einsteckstegs 21 communicates with a first leg 25 of the first insulation displacement member 15 and the other end with a second leg 26 in one piece ,
Die Figur 3 zeigt ein Gegenelement als zweites Schneid-Klemm-Element 22, das mit der hochstrombelastbaren Verbindung 3 der Figur 1 durch Zusammenstecken in Fügerichtung 50 im Zuge eines Fügeprozesses elektrisch verbunden werden kann. Insbesondere erfolgt ein unlösbares Zusammenfügen der beiden Teile. Auch das zweite Schneid-Klemm- Element 22 ist hochstrombelastbar. Insgesamt wird eine Schneidklemmverbindung 37 geschaffen. Das zweite Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 gehört beispielsweise einem elektrischen Verbraucher, insbesondere einem Elektromotor 58 an, wobei dieser Verbraucher/Elektromotor 58 mit der in den Figuren 1 und 2 angedeuteten Leistungselektronikschaltung 23 elektrisch verbunden werden soll, das heißt, die Leistungselektronik auf dem Substrat 1 versorgt über die Flachbandverbindung 5 und das zweite Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 den entsprechenden elektrischen Verbraucher.FIG. 3 shows a counter element as a second insulation displacement element 22, which can be electrically connected to the high-current-loadable connection 3 of FIG. 1 by plugging together in the joining direction 50 in the course of a joining process. In particular, a non-detachable joining of the two parts takes place. Also, the second insulation displacement element 22 is high current load. Overall, an insulation displacement connection 37 is created. The second insulation displacement element 22 belongs, for example, to an electrical load, in particular to an electric motor 58, this load / electric motor 58 being intended to be electrically connected to the power electronics circuit 23 indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2, that is, the power electronics on the substrate 1 supplies via the ribbon connection 5 and the second insulation displacement element 22 to the corresponding electrical consumers.
Gemäß Figur 3 weist das zweite Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 einen Einstecksteg 18 auf. Der Einstecksteg 21 ist zwischen der zwei Schenkel 25 und 26 des zweite Schneid- Klemm- Elements 22 angeordnet, insbesondere einstückig am Gegenelement 22 realisiert. Die beiden Enden 28 und 29 des Einsteckstegs 21 sind einstückig an die Schenkel 25 und 26 angebunden. Da der Einstecksteg 21 eine randoffene Ausnehmung überbrückt, grenzt radial an ihn eine offene Ausnehmung 30 sowie ein Durchbruch 32 an. Das zweite Schneid- Klemm-Element 22 weist beispielsweise den aus der Figur 3 hervorgehenden gekröpften Verlauf mit zwei Abbiegungen 33 und 34 auf und ist mit Stützstegen 35 versehen. Mit dem Gegenelement 22 ist vorzugsweise direkt der elektrische Verbraucher, beispielsweise ein Elektromotor 58, elektrisch verbunden, sodass eine niederohmige, hochstrombelastbare Verbindung geschaffen ist.According to FIG. 3, the second insulation displacement element 22 has an insertion web 18. The Einstecksteg 21 is disposed between the two legs 25 and 26 of the second insulation displacement element 22, in particular integrally realized on the counter element 22. The two ends 28 and 29 of the Einsteckstegs 21 are integrally connected to the legs 25 and 26. Since the Einstecksteg 21 bridges an open-edged recess, radially adjacent to it an open recess 30 and an opening 32 adjacent. The second insulation displacement element 22 has, for example, the cranked profile resulting from FIG. 3 with two bends 33 and 34 and is provided with support webs 35. With the counter element 22 is preferably directly the electrical load, such as an electric motor 58, electrically connected, so that a low-impedance, high-current-loadable connection is created.
Das zweite Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 ist - ebenso wie die Flachbandverbindung 5 - als Metallstreifen 6', insbesondere Blechstanzteil, ausgebildet. Das zweite Schneid-Klemm- Element 22 stellt eine Gegen-Flachband-Verbindung 36 zum Zusammenfügen mit der Flachband-Verbindung 5 dar. Zum Zusammenfügen wird die Gegen-Flachband-Verbindung 36 mit ihrem Einstecksteg 21 zwischen die Gabelzinken 19 und 20 der Flachband- Verbindung 5 gedrückt, sodass der Einstecksteg 21 in den Einsteckschlitz 18 eindringt, wodurch ein Fügeprozess erfolgt und die hochstrombelastbare Verbindung geschaffen wird. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass bei dem Fügeprozess eine Kraft-Wegkurve 70 vom Fügeprozess aufgenommen wird. Beim Zusammenfügen liegen die Teile zunächst gegeneinander an. Hierbei ist der Einstecksteg 21 in den Einsteckschlitz 18 teilweise eingesteckt, wobei jedoch noch nicht die Endposition eingenommen ist. Durch Krafterhöhung tritt Gleitreibung ein, sodass die Fügekraft 72 abfällt. Danach steigt die Fügekraft 72 bis zum Endsitz wieder an. In dieser Phase wird eine erste Schneidklemmverbindung 37 hergestellt, mit einer deutlichen Kraftspitze. Nach deren Abfall wird - sofern eine mehrpolige Verbindung zum Anschluss des Verbrauchers an die Leistungselektronik benötigt wird, eine zweite, entsprechend gleiche Verbindung hergestellt, dies ebenfalls mit einer deutlichen Kraftspitze. Auch hier erhöht sich die Kraft kontinuierlich bis zum Aufsitzen. Mit der erwähnten Kraftmessung kann also festgestellt werden, ob alle Verbindungen im Rahmen der vorgegebenen Toleranz liegen. Ist dies nicht der Fall, könnten Teile fehlen, Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 verbogen sein oder Kontakte nicht hergestellt worden sein. Alternativ kann zusätzlich noch eine Presspassung gefügt werden, die zusätzlich bei der aufgenommenen Kraftmessung sichtbar sein muss, um eine Kontrolle zu haben. Beim Fügeprozess stützt sich die Flachbandverbindung 5 - wie aus der Figur 1 ersichtlich - mit ihren Stützschultern 17 auf den Randseiten des Lagerkanals 12 ab, sodass keine schädlichen Kräfte in das Substrat 1 usw. eingeleitet werden. Aufgrund des Lagerkanals 12 ist in Längsrichtung des Lagerkanals 12 unter Stauchung oder Aufweitung der Biegestelle 10 eine Ausrichtverlagerung der Flachband-Verbindung 5 quer zur Fügerichtung 50 möglich.The second insulation displacement element 22 is - as well as the ribbon connection 5 - as a metal strip 6 ', in particular sheet metal stamping formed. The second insulation displacement element 22 represents a counter-flat-band connection 36 for joining with the flat-band connection 5. For joining, the counter-flat-band connection 36 pressed with their Einstecksteg 21 between the forks 19 and 20 of the flat-band connection 5, so that the Einstecksteg 21 penetrates into the insertion slot 18, whereby a joining process takes place and the high-current-loadable connection is created. In particular, it is provided that during the joining process, a force-displacement curve 70 is received by the joining process. When joining the parts are initially against each other. Here, the Einstecksteg 21 is partially inserted into the insertion slot 18, but not yet the end position is taken. By increasing the force occurs sliding friction, so that the joining force 72 drops. Thereafter, the joining force 72 increases again to the final seat. In this phase, a first insulation displacement connection 37 is produced, with a clear force peak. After their waste is - if a multi-pin connection is required to connect the consumer to the power electronics, a second, correspondingly same connection is made, this also with a significant force peak. Here, too, the power increases continuously until sitting up. With the mentioned force measurement can thus be determined whether all connections are within the specified tolerance. If this is not the case, parts may be missing, insulation displacement elements 15, 22 may be bent or contacts may not have been made. Alternatively, an additional press fit can be added, which must additionally be visible during the recorded force measurement in order to have a check. During the joining process, the ribbon connection 5 is supported, as can be seen in FIG. 1, with its support shoulders 17 on the edge sides of the storage channel 12, so that no harmful forces are introduced into the substrate 1, etc. Due to the bearing channel 12, an alignment displacement of the flat-band connection 5 transversely to the joining direction 50 is possible in the longitudinal direction of the bearing channel 12 under compression or widening of the bending point 10.
Die Figur 4 zeigt eine Flachbandverbindung 5 mit Einsteckschlitz 18, wobei die Flachband- Verbindung 5 mit dem ersten Bauteil 52 verbunden ist, das beispielsweise die Leistungselektronik aufweist. Die Flachband- Verbindung 5 ist mit einer Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung 36 zusammengeführt, wobei diese den Einstecksteg 21 aufweist, der in den Einsteckschlitz 18 eingepresst ist, sodass eine Schneidklemmverbindung 37 geschaffen wurde. Die Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung 36 ist direkt mit einem zweiten Bauteil 54, beispielsweise einem elektrischen Verbraucher 58 verbunden. Der Einstecksteg 21 ist unbeweglich in einer Tasche 38 des zweiten Bauteils 54 angeordnet, z.B. in Kunststoff eingespritzt. Dabei greifen die beiden Gabelzinken 19, 20 des ersten Schneid- Klemm- Elements 15 in die Ausnehmungen 30, 32 des zweiten Scheid- Klemm- Elements 22. Das erste Schneid- Klemm- Element 15 ist mittels der Biegestelle 10 quer zur Fügerichtung 50 in gewissen Grenzen im Lagerkanal 12 des ersten Bauelements 52 beweglich angeordnet. Beim Einfügen liegen die Stützschultern 17 am Lagerkanal 12 an, wobei die Stützschultern 17nach dem Einfügen mit entsprechenden Anlageflächen auch an der Tasche 38 des zweiten Bauteils 54 anliegen.4 shows a ribbon connection 5 with insertion slot 18, wherein the ribbon connection 5 is connected to the first component 52, which has, for example, the power electronics. The flat-band connection 5 is brought together with a counter-ribbon connection 36, this having the Einstecksteg 21 which is pressed into the insertion slot 18, so that a insulation displacement connection 37 was created. The opposing ribbon connection 36 is connected directly to a second component 54, for example an electrical load 58. The Einstecksteg 21 is immovably arranged in a pocket 38 of the second component 54, for example injected in plastic. The two forks 19, 20 of the first cutting-clamping element 15 engage in the recesses 30, 32 of the second Scheid- clamping element 22. The first insulation displacement element 15 is by means of the bending point 10 transverse to the joining direction 50 in certain Limits arranged movably in the bearing channel 12 of the first component 52. When inserting the support shoulders 17 bear against the bearing channel 12, wherein the support shoulders 17 also lie against the pocket 38 of the second component 54 after insertion with corresponding contact surfaces.
In Fig. 5 ist eine elektrische Trägerplatte 44 dargestellt, die beispielsweise als Stanzgitter 46 ausgebildet ist. Dabei sind beispielsweise mehrere elektrisch getrennte Teile des Stanzgitters 46 mit einer Kunststoffplatte 45 umspritzt. An die elektrische Trägerplatte 44 sind hier mehrere erste Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15 angeordnet, die über die Biegung 14 näherungsweise rechtwinklig zur Trägerplatte 44 abgewinkelt sind. In den geraden Bereichen 9, die in der Ebene 49 quer zur Fügerichtung 50 angeordnet sind, sind wieder die Biegestellen 10 ausgeformt, die als U-Steg 11 ausgebildet sind, die aus den geraden Bereichen 9 des Metallstreifens 6 herausragen. Wird nun beispielsweise das zweite Schneid- Klemm- Element 22 gemäß Fig. 3 in Fügerichtung 50 in das erste Schneid- Klemm- Element 15 eingefügt, können letztere aufgrund der näherungsweise rechtwinkligen Biegung 14 innerhalb der Ebene 49 der Trägerplatte 44 verschoben werden. Dabei ändern sich die Ausrichtungen der ersten Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15 entlang der Fügerichtung 50 nicht, so dass die zweiten Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 22 beim Einfügen nicht verkanten. Beim Einfügen können die ersten Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15 die Einfügekraft 72 über die angeformten Stützschultern 17, oder direkt über den abgewinkelten Bereich 9 des Metallstreifens 6, der sich an dem ersten Bauteil 52 abstützt, aufnehmen. Zur Anbindung weiterer elektrischer Bauteile sind am Stanzgitter 46 Verbindungselemente 48 angeformt, die eine elektrische und/oder mechanische Verbindung mit diesen elektrischen Komponenten, wie beispielsweise Drosseln oder Kondensatoren ermöglichen. Eine solche elektrische Trägerplatte 44 ist beispielsweise innerhalb eines Elektronikgehäuses 60 angeordnet, wobei hier das erste Bauteil 52 als erste Gehäuseschale 53 und das zweite Bauteil 54 als zweite Gehäuseschale 55 ausgebildet sind. Die Trägerplatte 44 weist zur Verbindung mit dem ersten Bauteil 52 Aufnahmen 47 auf, die beispielsweise mit dem Kunststoff der ersten Gehäuseschale 53 heißverprägt werden kann. Werden hier die beiden Bauteile 52, 54 ineinander gefügt, wird über die Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 gleichzeitig eine Schneid-Klemm-Bindung 37 hergestellt.In Fig. 5, an electrical support plate 44 is shown, which is formed for example as a punched grid 46. In this case, for example, several electrically separated parts of the stamped grid 46 are encapsulated with a plastic plate 45. To the electrical support plate 44 a plurality of first insulation displacement elements 15 are arranged here, which are angled approximately at right angles to the support plate 44 via the bend 14. In the straight regions 9, which are arranged in the plane 49 transverse to the joining direction 50, the bending points 10 are again formed, which are formed as a U-web 11, which protrude from the straight portions 9 of the metal strip 6. If, for example, the second insulation displacement element 22 according to FIG. 3 is inserted in the joining direction 50 into the first insulation displacement element 15, the latter can be displaced within the plane 49 of the support plate 44 due to the approximately rectangular bend 14. In this case, the orientations of the first insulation displacement elements 15 do not change along the joining direction 50, so that the second insulation displacement elements 22 do not tilt during insertion. When inserting the first insulation displacement elements 15, the insertion force 72 on the molded support shoulders 17, or directly on the angled portion 9 of the metal strip 6, which is supported on the first component 52 record. For connecting other electrical components 46 connecting elements 48 are formed on the lead frame, which allow an electrical and / or mechanical connection with these electrical components, such as throttles or capacitors. Such an electrical support plate 44 is arranged, for example, within an electronics housing 60, in which case the first component 52 is designed as a first housing shell 53 and the second component 54 as a second housing shell 55. The support plate 44 has for connection to the first component 52 receptacles 47, which can be hot-stamped, for example, with the plastic of the first housing shell 53. If the two components 52, 54 are inserted into one another here, an insulation-displacement binding 37 is produced at the same time via the insulation displacement elements 15, 22.
In einer alternativen Ausführung gemäß Fig. 6 sind beispielsweise an einer Stirnwand 56 des als Elektromotor 58 ausgebildeten zweiten Bauteils 54 die zweiten Schneid-Klemm- Elemente 22 unbeweglich angeordnet. In diese sind die ersten Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15 des ersten Bauteils 52, das als Elektronikgehäuse 60 ausgebildet ist, einfügbar. Die zweiten Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 22 sind mittels Krallen 88 elektrisch mit Anschlusszungen 90 des Elektromotors 58 verbunden und mechanisch in Taschen 38 gelagert. An den zweiten Schneid- Klemm- Elementen 22 sind Einsteckstege 21 angeformt, in die beispielsweise die Einklemmschlitze 18 der ersten Schneid- Klemm- Elemente der Trägerplatte 44 gemäß Fig. 5 eingefügt werden, die quer zur Fügerichtung 50 verschiebbar bzw. verschwenkbar angeordnet sind.In an alternative embodiment according to FIG. 6, for example, the second insulation displacement elements 22 are arranged immovably on an end wall 56 of the second component 54 designed as an electric motor 58. In this, the first insulation displacement elements 15 of the first component 52, which is designed as an electronics housing 60, inserted. The second insulation displacement elements 22 are connected by means of claws 88 electrically connected to terminal tongues 90 of the electric motor 58 and mechanically in pockets 38th stored. On the second insulation displacement elements 22 Einsteckstege 21 are formed, in which, for example, the Einklemmschlitze 18 of the first insulation displacement elements of the support plate 44 as shown in FIG. 5 are inserted, which are arranged transversely to the joining direction 50 displaceable or pivotable.
Alternativ sind am Elektromotor 58 die quer zu Fügerichtung 50 beweglichen ersten Schneid- Klemm- Elemente 15 angeordnet, die als Biegebereich 10 ein mäanderförmigen Steg 111 aufweisen. Dabei ist das erste Schneid- Klemm- Element 15 in dem Lagerkanal 12 lose gelagert und ebenfalls elektrisch über Krallen 88 mit dem Elektromotor 58 verbunden.Alternatively, the transverse to joining direction 50 first cutting clamping elements 15 are arranged on the electric motor 58, which have a meandering web 111 as a bending region. In this case, the first insulation displacement element 15 is loosely mounted in the bearing channel 12 and also electrically connected via claws 88 to the electric motor 58.
Das erste Bauteil 52 weist in Fig. 6 eine Ausformung 62 in Fügerichtung 50 auf, die beim Zusammenfügen der beiden Bauteile 52, 54 in eine korrespondierende Aussparung 64 des gegenüberliegenden Bauteils 54 eingreift. Dabei kann zwischen der Ausformung 62 und der Aussparung 64 eine Dichtung 66 angeformt sein, die die beiden Bauteile 52, 54 staub- und wasserdicht gegeneinander abschließt.The first component 52 has in Fig. 6, a molding 62 in the joining direction 50, which engages in the joining of the two components 52, 54 in a corresponding recess 64 of the opposing member 54. In this case, between the molding 62 and the recess 64, a seal 66 may be formed, which closes the two components 52, 54 against dust and waterproof against each other.
In Fig. 7 sind vier Momentaufnahmen des Einfügevorgangs der beiden Schneid- Klemm- Elemente 15, 22 dargestellt, wobei der Einstecksteg 21 in den Einsteckschlitz 18 mittels der Fügekraft 72 entlang des Fügewegs 74 in Fügerichtung 50 eingesteckt wird. Die vier Momentaufnahmen sind in Fig. 8 bezüglich eines Kraftverlaufs 70 der ersten Schneidklemmverbindung 37 markiert.In Fig. 7, four snapshots of the insertion of the two insulation displacement elements 15, 22 are shown, wherein the Einstecksteg 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 18 by means of the joining force 72 along the Fügewegs 74 in the joining direction 50. The four snapshots are marked in FIG. 8 with respect to a force curve 70 of the first insulation displacement connection 37.
In Fig. 8 ist ein Kraftverlauf 70 der Fügekraft 72 gegenüber dem Fügeweg 74 beim Verbinden des Elektromotors 58 gemäß Fig. 6 mit einem Elektronikgehäuse 60 dargestellt. Das erste lokale Maximum 76 des Kraftverlaufs 70 entspricht dem Verformen der Dichtung 66, die beispielsweise als O-Ring 67 ausgebildet ist, der zwischen den beiden Bauteilen 52, 54 eingeklemmt wird. Nach der Verformung der Dichtung 66 nimmt die Einfügekraft 72 wieder ab, bis es zu einem erneuten Kraftanstieg mit einem weiteren Kraftmaximum 77 kommt, das durch das Ineinanderfügen der beiden Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 erzeugt wird. Je nach konkreter Ausgestaltung der Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 nimmt die Einfügekraft 72 aufgrund der Gleitreibung zwischen den beiden Schneid- Klemm- Elementen 15, 22 wieder ab, bis es zu einem erneute Kraftanstieg 78 am Ende 79 des Einfügewegs 74 kommt, der durch die Ausbildung einer Presspassung 80 zwischen den beiden Bauteilen 52, 54 verursacht wird. Ein weiteres lokales Kraftmaximum 81 wird durch die Ausbildung einer sequentiell bezüglich der Fügerichtung 50 versetzt angeordneten Schneidklemmverbindung 37 erzeugt. Wird beim Zusammenfügen der beiden Bauteile 52 und 54 ein solcher Kraftverlauf 70 gemessen, kann anhand der Messkurve kontrolliert werden, ob die Schneid- Klemm- Verbindung 37 und die Presspassung 80 zwischen den Bauteilen 52 und 54 ordnungsgemäß zustande gekommen ist. Bei einer vom Soll-Verlauf abweichenden Messkurve, kann hingegen auf eine fehlerhafte Verbindung, beispielsweise durch Abknicken eines Schneid-Klemm-Elements 15, 22 oder einer Beschädigung der Bauteile 52, 54, bzw. der Dichtung 66 geschlossen werden.FIG. 8 shows a force profile 70 of the joining force 72 with respect to the joining path 74 when the electric motor 58 according to FIG. 6 is connected to an electronics housing 60. The first local maximum 76 of the force curve 70 corresponds to the deformation of the seal 66, which is formed for example as an O-ring 67, which is clamped between the two components 52, 54. After the deformation of the seal 66, the insertion force 72 decreases again until it comes to a renewed increase in force with a further force maximum 77, which is generated by the joining of the two insulation displacement elements 15, 22. Depending on the specific embodiment of the insulation displacement elements 15, 22, the insertion force 72 decreases due to the sliding friction between the two insulation displacement elements 15, 22 again until it comes to a renewed increase in force 78 at the end 79 of the insertion path 74, the is caused by the formation of a press fit 80 between the two components 52, 54. Another local force maximum 81 is generated by the formation of a sequentially offset with respect to the joining direction 50 arranged insulation displacement connection 37. If, during assembly of the two components 52 and 54, such a course of force 70 is measured, it can be checked on the basis of the measurement curve be, whether the insulation displacement connection 37 and the interference fit 80 between the components 52 and 54 has come about properly. In the case of a measuring curve deviating from the nominal curve, however, it is possible to conclude that there is a faulty connection, for example due to kinking of an insulation displacement element 15, 22 or damage to the components 52, 54, or the seal 66.
Die Ausbildung einer solchen Presspassung 80 ist beispielhaft in Fig. 9 dargestellt, bei der die Ausformung 62 des ersten Bauteils 52 in die Aussparung 64 des zweiten Bauteils 54 eingreift. Dabei ist zu erkennen, dass die Ausformung 62 erst am Ende 79 des Einfügeweges 74 eine Presspassung 80 mit der Aussparung 64 bildet, der zu dem Kraftanstieg 78 beim Zusammenfügen der Bauteile 52 und 54 führt. Über den ersten Bereich des Einfügewegs 74 weist die Ausformung 62 gegenüber der Aussparung 64 ein Spiel 68 auf, aufgrund dessen die beiden Bauteile 52 und 54 leicht und zuverlässig gegeneinander vorzentriert werden. Die Ausformung 62 kann als Zapfen 82 ausgebildet sein, der in eine korrespondierende Hülse 86 als Aussparung eingreift. In einer weiteren Ausführung, in der zwei Gehäuseschalen 53 und 55 ineinander gefügt werden, ist die Ausformung 62 als umlaufende Wand 83 in Fügerichtung 50 ausgebildet, die in eine korrespondierende Aussparung 64 eingreift, die beispielsweise als umlaufende Nut 84 oder gegenüberliegende umlaufende Wand 85 ausgebildet ist.The embodiment of such a press fit 80 is shown by way of example in FIG. 9, in which the shaping 62 of the first component 52 engages in the recess 64 of the second component 54. It can be seen that the formation 62 only at the end 79 of the insertion path 74 forms a press fit 80 with the recess 64, which leads to the increase in force 78 during assembly of the components 52 and 54. Over the first region of the insertion path 74, the formation 62 opposite the recess 64 on a game 68, due to which the two components 52 and 54 are easily and reliably pre-centered against each other. The molding 62 may be formed as a pin 82 which engages in a corresponding sleeve 86 as a recess. In a further embodiment, in which two housing shells 53 and 55 are joined together, the molding 62 is formed as a circumferential wall 83 in the joining direction 50, which engages in a corresponding recess 64, which is formed for example as a circumferential groove 84 or opposite circumferential wall 85 ,
Je nach konkreter geometrischer Ausbildung der Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 tritt beim Ineinanderfügen der beiden Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 ein lokales Kraftmaximum 77 auf, wie dies in Fig. 8 dargestellt ist, oder es kommt alternativ zu einem stetigen Kraftanstieg der Einfügekraft 72. Wird der Kraftverlauf 70 beim Einfügevorgang gemessen, kann dieser mit Soll- Kurven verglichen werden, um einen Fehler beim Fügevorgang zu erkennen. In Fig. 8 weist der Kraftverlauf der Schneid- Klemm- Verbindung 37 das lokale Maximum 77 auf, was dadurch zustande kommt, dass anfangs beim Einfügen des Einklemmstegs 21 in dem Einklemmschlitz 18 (Fig.7: Bild 2) die Einfügekraft 72 aufgrund der Haftreibung und der Verformung der Schneid-Klemm-Elemente 15, 22 stark ansteigt und danach in einen Gleitvorgang mit verringerter Gleitreibung übergeht (Fig. 7: Bild 3), wodurch die Einfügekraft 72 wieder abnimmt.Depending on the specific geometric design of the insulation displacement elements 15, 22 occurs when joining the two insulation displacement elements 15, 22, a local force maximum 77, as shown in Fig. 8, or it comes alternatively to a steady increase in force the insertion force 72. If the force curve 70 is measured during the insertion process, this can be compared with target curves to detect a fault in the joining process. In FIG. 8, the force curve of the insulation displacement connection 37 has the local maximum 77, which results from the fact that initially when inserting the Einklemmstegs 21 in the Einklemmschlitz 18 (Figure 7: Figure 2) the insertion force 72 due to stiction and the deformation of the insulation displacement elements 15, 22 increases sharply and then passes into sliding with reduced sliding friction (Fig. 7: Fig. 3), whereby the insertion force 72 decreases again.
In Figur 10 sind schematisch nochmals verschiedene Bauteile 52, 54 dargestellt, die mittels einer Schneidklemmverbindung 37 miteinander verbunden werden können. Beispielsweise werden einerseits die Gehäuseschalen 53 und 55 mittels den Schneid- Klemm- Elementen 15, 22 miteinander verbunden, und andererseits das zusammengefügte Elektronikgehäuse 60 mit dem Elektromotor 58. Dabei ist das Stanzgitter 46 innerhalb der Gehäuseschale 55 derart angeordnet, dass sich die Scheid-Klemm-Elemente 15 vom Stanzgitter nach oben zur ersten Gehäuseschale 53 und nach unten zum Elektromotor 58 hin erstrecken und in entsprechende zweite Schneid- Klemm- Elemente 22 dieser Bauteile greifen. Mit der Schneidklemmverbindung 37 wird gleichzeitig eine mechanische Verbindung der einzelnen Bauteile geschaffen, die diese derart zueinander abschließt, dass die Schneid- Klemm- Elemente 15, 22 nicht mehr sichtbar sind. Zwischen zwei Bauteilen 52, 54 ist eine Dichtung 66 angeordnet, die beim Zusammenfügen zusammengepresst wird, was einen Anstieg der Fügekraft 72 zur Folge hat. Ist die Dichtung 66 vollständig verformt, nimmt die Fügekraft 72 über den weiteren Fügeweg 74 wieder ab. Am Ende79 des Fügewegs 74 wird eine Presspassung 80 ausgebildet, die zwischen den umlaufenden Wänden 83, 85 der Bauteile 52 und 54 oder zwischen einem Zapfen 82 und einer korrespondierenden Hülse 86 angeordnet sein kann. Solche Schneidklemmverbindungen 37 eignen sich besonders für die Zuführung eines Motorstroms über einen Anschluss-Stecker 92, bei denen beispielsweise Ströme von 50 bis 150 Ampere fließen können.In FIG. 10, again different components 52, 54 are shown, which can be connected to one another by means of an insulation displacement connection 37. For example, on the one hand, the housing shells 53 and 55 connected by means of the insulation displacement elements 15, 22, and on the other hand, the assembled electronics housing 60 with the electric motor 58. In this case, the lead frame 46 is within the housing shell 55th arranged such that the separating-clamping elements 15 extend from the punched grid up to the first housing shell 53 and down to the electric motor 58 and engage in corresponding second insulation displacement elements 22 of these components. With the insulation displacement connection 37, a mechanical connection of the individual components is simultaneously created, which closes them to each other such that the insulation displacement elements 15, 22 are no longer visible. Between two components 52, 54, a seal 66 is arranged, which is pressed together during assembly, which has an increase in the joining force 72 result. If the seal 66 is completely deformed, the joining force 72 decreases again via the further joining path 74. At the end 79 of the joining path 74, a press fit 80 is formed, which may be arranged between the circumferential walls 83, 85 of the components 52 and 54 or between a pin 82 and a corresponding sleeve 86. Such insulation displacement connections 37 are particularly suitable for supplying a motor current via a connection plug 92, in which, for example, currents of 50 to 150 amps can flow.
Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass eine erfindungsgemäß gebildete Schneidklemmverbindung 37 nach dem Fügeprozess mechanisch entkoppelt ausgebildet wird. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass die Hochstromverbindungen nach dem Fügeprozess nicht mehr zugänglich sind, da sie in zu schließenden Gehäusen eingesetzt werden. Um das Zusammendrücken von Flachband-Verbindungen 5 undIn particular, it is provided that an insulation displacement connection 37 formed according to the invention is formed mechanically decoupled after the joining process. This can be done, for example, that the high-current connections are no longer accessible after the joining process, since they are used in enclosing enclosures. To the compression of flat ribbon connections 5 and
Gegen- Flachband- Verbindung 36 zu erleichtern, kann auf diese ein Schmierstoff oder eine gleitende Beschichtung aufgetragen werden. Die Schneidklemmverbindung 37 wird bevorzugt in eine Tasche 38 eingebracht, die beim Fügeprozess verschlossen wird. Damit ist ein Flitterschutz gegeben. Insbesondere ist das erste Schneid- Klemm- Element 15 aufgrund der Biegestelle 10 als bewegliches Element ausgebildet, das mit einem festen, unbeweglichen als Gegenelement ausgebildeten zweiten Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 mittels de Fügekraft 72 verbunden werden kann. Alternativ kann auch derart vorgegangen werden, dass das zweite Schneid-Klemm-Element 22 beweglich ist, und das erste Schneid- Klemm-Element 15 fest angeordnet wird. Es sei angemerkt, dass hinsichtlich der in den Figuren und in der Beschreibung gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele vielfältigeTo facilitate counter-ribbon connection 36, a lubricant or a sliding coating can be applied to this. The insulation displacement connection 37 is preferably introduced into a pocket 38, which is closed during the joining process. This is a bauble protection given. In particular, the first insulation displacement element 15 is formed as a movable element due to the bending point 10, which can be connected by means of de joining force 72 with a fixed, immovable formed as a counter element second insulation displacement element 22. Alternatively, it is also possible to proceed such that the second insulation displacement element 22 is movable, and the first insulation displacement element 15 is fixedly arranged. It should be noted that various embodiments are shown in the embodiments shown in the figures and the description
Kombinationsmöglichkeiten der einzelnen Merkmale untereinander möglich sind. Possible combinations of the individual features are possible with each other.
