Definitions

  • the invention relates to a busbar arrangement comprising a punched out of a metal sheet plurality of juxtaposed and electrically conductively interconnected individual contact elements, wherein each individual contact element has a region which is formed as an electrical contact. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for connecting a predetermined number of electrical inputs of an electrical device, in particular central electrical system of a motor vehicle, with a further electrical device, in particular power supply, by a busbar arrangement according to the invention.
  • busbar arrangements which are also referred to as current bridges, are known. These are used in various technical fields.
  • busbar assemblies are used in the automotive industry in connection with electrical devices, such as a central electrical system of a motor vehicle.
  • electrical devices such as a central electrical system of a motor vehicle.
  • the electrical contacts of such a busbar arrangement are contacted with the inputs of the electrical device and a connection section of the busbar arrangement is connected to an electrical conductor.
  • the electrical conductor forms the electrical output of a power supply to electrically connect the electrical device to the power supply.
  • busbar arrangements have a single connection section for an electrical conductor.
  • the problem with this is that the position of the connection section in the busbar arrangement is already established during the production of the busbar arrangement. Thereby the mounting of the busbar arrangements, for example, only in specially designed housings of central electrical systems possible. The possible uses of the busbar arrangements are thereby limited. This also means that central electric systems, even if they are not completely equipped with other components in different vehicle variants, are provided with busbars which have unused connections in order to avoid a large number of busbar variants.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which allows a simpler and more flexible installation in an electrical device and which is flexible, and an improved method for connecting a predetermined number of electrical inputs of an electrical device with another electrical device indicated by a busbar.
  • a busbar arrangement which has a punched out of a sheet metal strip plurality of juxtaposed and electrically conductively interconnected individual contact elements.
  • Each individual contact element has an area which is designed as an electrical contact.
  • each individual contact element has a connection section, which is designed for the mechanical and electrical attachment of an electrical conductor using a strain relief.
  • the busbar assembly allows the electrical conductor, which is the electrical output of a power supply can act to arrange on any single contact of the busbar assembly to electrically connect the conductor to the busbar assembly and mechanically fix it.
  • the mounting of the busbar arrangement on the input side of an electrical device such as a central electrical system of a motor vehicle, facilitate, accelerate and simplify.
  • connection section of a single contact element has means for fastening the strain relief.
  • the strain relief can thus be designed as a separate part of the busbar assembly. This has the advantage that only at that single contact a strain relief is attached to the connection section, an electrical conductor is attached. In contrast, no strain reliefs are arranged on the other individual contact elements.
  • the busbar arrangement can therefore be realized in a compact construction, for example as a flat metal sheet strip, which requires little space even in its installation position, for example in the housing of the central electrical system of a motor vehicle.
  • connection section preferably has a first pair of recesses for fastening the strain relief.
  • the recesses can be punched when punching the busbar assembly in each individual contact element, so that this is not a separate step in the production of the busbar assembly is necessary.
  • the strain relief is formed as a first strip of material, in particular as a sheet-metal strip, which is insertable into the first pair of recesses to form a press connection between an insulated region of the electrical conductor and the connection section arranged on the connection section between the first pair of recesses.
  • a metal strip as a strain relief can be punched in punching the busbar assembly for each individual contact element in addition a strain relief from the same sheet metal strip, whereby the production of the busbar assembly and the strain relief is simplified and cheaper.

  • the first pair of recesses and the second pair of recesses in the terminal portion are each centered to a central axis of the single contact element and along the central axis offset from each other.
  • the second pair of recesses may be provided for identifying the connection section part, to which a non-insulated region of the electrical conductor with the individual contact element is preferably to be contacted.
  • a corrugation is stamped between the first pair of recesses.
  • the corrugation contributes to an improved fixation of the electrical conductor at the connection section by means of the strain relief.
  • the preferred electrical conductor contacted in the region between the second pair of recesses with the terminal portion.
  • This can be realized, for example, by soldering or welding the electrical conductor to the connection section.
  • the corrugation increases the surface roughness of the connection section, so that an improved welding or soldering connection between the electrical conductor and the connection section can be realized.
  • a second material strip in particular sheet-metal strip, can be inserted into the second pair of recesses in order to form a press connection between a non-insulated region of the electrical conductor and the connection section arranged on the connection section between the second pair of recesses ,
  • an electrical connection between the electrical conductor and the terminal portion can also be accomplished by the formation of a press connection.
  • This press connection can also be formed in addition to the welding or soldering of the electrical conductor to the connection section, so that the second strip of material can be considered as further strain relief for the electrical conductor.
  • a predetermined breaking point is formed in each case between adjacent individual contact elements.
  • a cut-to-length conductor rail arrangement having a desired number of individual contact elements can be produced by cutting to length from a busbar arrangement according to the invention having a multiplicity of individual contact elements arranged side by side and electrically conductively connected to one another. This allows a flexible use of the busbar assembly, from the both individual contact elements as well as shorter busbar arrangements with a desired number of individual contact elements can be made, in particular, without having to accept restrictions on the attachment of an electrical conductor using a strain relief.
