Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Heizvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit wenigstens einem PTC-Heizelement mit im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander ausgerichteten und zwischen sich mindestens ein PTC-Element aufnehmenden Kontaktblechen und einer Leiterplatte, welche wenigstens eine Ausnehmung ausbildet, die von einer durch ein Kontaktblech ausgebildeten Kontaktzunge zum elektrischen Anschluss des PTC-Elementes an die Leiterplatte durchragt ist.The present invention relates to an electrical heating device for a motor vehicle with at least one PTC heating element with essentially parallel aligned and between at least one PTC element receiving contact plates and a printed circuit board, which forms at least one recess formed by a contact plate formed by a contact tongue for the electrical connection of the PTC element to the printed circuit board is penetrated.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine kompakt bauende elektrische Heizvorrichtung anzugeben.The present invention is based on the problem of specifying a compact electrical heater.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems wird mit der vorliegenden Erfindung eine elektrische Heizvorrichtung mit dem Merkmal von Anspruch 1 angegeben. Dieses unterscheidet sich dadurch von dem gattungsbildenden Stand der Technik, dass ein gestanztes Anschlussstück vorgesehen ist, welches elektrisch leitend an eine Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte angeschlossen ist. Das Anschlussstück hat einen auf der Leiterplatte anliegenden Befestigungsabschnitt und zumindest eine in die Ausnehmung hineinragende Federzunge.To solve this problem, the present invention provides an electric heater having the feature of
Eine Leiterplatte im Sinne von Anspruch 1 kann jede Leiterplatte sein, unabhängig davon, ob sie nun mit Bauelementen bestückt ist, oder lediglich Leiterbahnen zur Leitung von Strom zwischen zwei Punkten umfasst. Eine solche Leiterbahn kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, um elektrische Anschlüsse an der elektrischen Heizvorrichtung an einer von den Kontaktblechen entfernt liegenden Stelle vorzusehen. Regelmäßig werden die Kontaktbleche geradlinig über den Heizblock und durch die Ausnehmung der Leiterplatte hindurch verlängert. Durch Stanzbearbeitung können zwar Kontaktbleche auch einen in beliebiger Richtung winklig zu der Längserstreckung der Kontaktbleche des Heizblocks ausgerichteten Steckkontakt bereitstellen. Aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen werden solche Ausgestaltungen aber hinsichtlich ihrer räumlichen Ausdehnung als beschränkt angesehen. Dabei ist auch von Interesse, dass der Bauraum zur Unterbringung der elektrischen Heizvorrichtung in dem Kraftfahrzeug regelmäßig beschränkt ist.A printed circuit board in the sense of
Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an und schlägt zum elektrischen Anschluss der die Leiterplatte durchragenden Kontaktzunge vor, zumindest eine in die Ausnehmung hineinragende Federzunge auszubilden. Diese Federzunge ist Teil eines Anschlussstückes, welches neben der besagten Federzunge zumindest einen auf der Leiterplatte in der Regel vollflächig anliegenden Befestigungsabschnitt hat. Dieser Befestigungsabschnitt dient zum Einen der Befestigung des Anschlussstückes an der Leiterplatte. Zum Anderen wird über den Befestigungsabschnitt regelmäßig eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Federzunge und damit dem Kontaktblech und wenigstens einer Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte hergestellt.This is where the present invention starts and proposes, for the electrical connection of the contact plate projecting through the printed circuit board, at least one spring tongue projecting into the recess. This spring tongue is part of a connecting piece, which in addition to the said spring tongue has at least one on the printed circuit board generally full-surface fitting portion. This attachment portion serves to one of the attachment of the connector to the circuit board. On the other hand, an electrical connection between the spring tongue and thus the contact plate and at least one conductor track of the printed circuit board is produced via the attachment portion regularly.
Im Gegensatz zum gattungsbildenden Stand der Technik, bei welchem das Federelement zur Halterung und elektrischen Kontaktierung mit der Leiterplatte selbige erheblich überragt, was zu einer erheblichen Erstreckung der Leiterplatte und der darauf befestigten Bauelemente in Längsrichtung der Kontaktbleche führt, befindet sich die das Kontaktblech klemmende Federzunge in der Ausnehmung, die durch die Leiterplatte zum Hindurchführen der Kontaktzunge ausgespart ist.In contrast to the generic state of the art, in which the spring element for holding and electrical contact with the circuit board dominates the same considerably, resulting in a considerable extension of the circuit board and the components mounted thereon in the longitudinal direction of the contact plates, the contact plate is clamping spring tongue in the recess which is recessed by the circuit board for passing the contact tongue.
Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung, die zu keiner substantiellen Vergrößerung der Abmessung der Leiterplatte in Erstreckungsrichtung der Kontaktbleche führt, befindet sich die Federzunge im Wesentlichen in der durch die Leiterplatte gebildeten Ebene. Vorzugsweise ist die Federzunge bei dieser bevorzugten Weiterbildung vollständig innerhalb der Ebene der Leiterplatte vorgesehen, d.h. die Federzunge überragt mit ihrem freien Ende, welches üblicherweise auf der den Befestigungsabschnitt abgewandten Seite der Leiterplatte vorgesehen ist, die Leiterplatte nicht.In a preferred development, which does not lead to a substantial increase in the dimension of the printed circuit board in the direction of extension of the contact sheets, the spring tongue is located substantially in the plane formed by the printed circuit board. Preferably, the spring tongue is provided in this preferred embodiment completely within the plane of the circuit board, i. the spring tongue projects beyond the printed circuit board with its free end, which is usually provided on the side of the printed circuit board facing away from the fastening section.
Vorzugsweise geht die Federzunge unmittelbar von dem Befestigungsabschnitt auf Höhe der Ausnehmung ab und erstreckt sich von dem Befestigungsabschnitt ausschließlich in Richtung auf die Ausnehmung. Die in solcher Weise ausgebildete Federzunge trägt nicht oder nur sehr unwesentlich auf die Dicke der Leiterplatte auf. Der elektrische Anschluss des Kontaktbleches kann daher äußerst raumsparend erfolgen.The spring tongue preferably extends directly from the fastening section at the level of the recess and extends from the fastening section exclusively in the direction of the recess. The trained in such a way spring tongue does not or only very insignificantly on the thickness of the circuit board. The electrical connection of the contact plate can therefore be extremely space-saving.
Im Hinblick auf eine möglichst solide Kontaktierung zwischen der Federzunge und der Kontaktzunge wird gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgeschlagen, die Federzunge mit ihrem freien Ende an einer die Ausnehmung umgebenden Wandung der Leiterplatte abzustützen. Diese Wandung erstreckt sich üblicherweise rechtwinklig zu der Ober- und Unterseite der Leiterplatte. Die solcher Art abgestützte Federzunge kann eine relativ hohe Anpresskraft gegen die Kontaktzunge ausüben, was die Kontaktierung der Kontaktzunge an der Federzunge verbessert.With a view to solid contact as possible between the spring tongue and the contact tongue is proposed according to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention to support the spring tongue with its free end to a surrounding wall of the recess of the circuit board. This wall usually extends at right angles to the top and bottom of the circuit board. The spring tongue supported in this way can exert a relatively high contact force against the contact tongue, which improves the contacting of the contact tongue on the spring tongue.
Im Hinblick auf eine definierte Kontaktfläche zwischen der Federzunge und der Kontaktzunge wird gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die nach Einführen der Kontaktzunge in die Ausnehmung mit der Kontaktzunge zusammenwirkende Oberfläche der Federzunge konvex ausgebildet ist. Diese konvexe Ausgestaltung kann vorzugsweise durch Umformen der Oberfläche der Kontaktzunge erfolgen. Die konvexe Ausgestaltung führt zu einer punkt- bzw. linienförmigen Anlage zwischen der Federzunge und der in der Regel aus einem flachen Blechstreifen gebildeten Kontaktzunge. Dementsprechend wird die von der Federzunge bewirkte Federkraft über eine geringe aber definierte Anlagefläche auf die Kontaktzunge übertragen, was zu einer sicheren und zuverlässigen Kontaktierung führt.With regard to a defined contact surface between the spring tongue and the contact tongue, it is proposed according to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention that the surface of the spring tongue cooperating with the contact tongue after insertion of the contact tongue into the recess is convex. This convex configuration can preferably be done by reshaping the surface of the contact tongue. The convex configuration leads to a point or linear system between the spring tongue and the contact tongue formed usually from a flat sheet metal strip. Accordingly, the spring force caused by the spring tongue is transmitted via a small but defined contact surface on the contact tongue, resulting in a secure and reliable contact.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung sind an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Ausnehmung jeweils Federzungen ausgebildet. Diese Federzungen ragen sämtlich in die Ausnehmung hinein und sind vorzugsweise mit einem gemeinsamen Befestigungsabschnitt verbunden, der auf der Oberfläche der Leiterbahn anliegt. Die Federzungen sind dabei vorzugsweise versetzt zueinander ausgebildet und durch Herausschneiden und Biegen aus der Blechebene des Halbzeuges in alternierender Weise vorgesehen, so dass die jeweiligen Federzungen gegenüberliegenden Wandungen der Ausnehmung vorgelagert sind und zwischen sich die Kontaktzunge klemmen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, respective spring tongues are formed on opposite sides of the recess. These spring tongues all protrude into the recess and are preferably connected to a common attachment portion which rests on the surface of the conductor track. The spring tongues are preferably offset from one another and provided by cutting and bending out of the sheet metal plane of the semifinished product in an alternating manner, so that the respective spring tongues are opposite walls of the recess and clamp between them the contact tongue.
Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung liegt der Befestigungsabschnitt auf der dem wenigstens einen PTC-Element zugewandten Seite der Leiterplatte an, so dass beim Einführen der Kontaktzunge unter Aufbringen einer elastischen Vorspannung der Federzunge, die hierbei entstehende Reibkraft über die Anlagefläche zwischen dem Befestigungsabschnitt und der Oberfläche der Leiterplatte gehalten wird. Es ist insbesondere nicht zu befürchten, dass das Anschlussstück, speziell der Befestigungsabschnitt, beim Einbringen der Kontaktzunge in die Ausnehmung von der Leiterplatte abgehoben wird.In a preferred development of the attachment portion is located on the at least one PTC element facing side of the circuit board, so that upon insertion of the contact tongue under application of an elastic bias of the spring tongue, the friction force arising in this case over the contact surface between the mounting portion and the surface of the circuit board is held. In particular, it is not to be feared that the connecting piece, in particular the fastening portion, will be lifted off the printed circuit board when the contact tongue is introduced into the recess.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung weist das Anschlussstück wenigstens einen Haltesteg auf, der durch Stanzen und Umbiegen des das Anschlussstück bildenden Blechstreifens hergestellt ist. Dieser Haltesteg ragt von dem Befestigungsabschnitt ab, regelmäßig in etwa rechtwinklig hierzu und ist in einem an der Leiterplatte ausgesparten Befestigungsloch im Eingriff. Durch diesen Haltesteg wird zum Einen eine lagegenaue Positionierung des Anschlussstückes bei der Montage ermöglicht. Das Anschlussstück ist erst dann an der richtigen Stelle relativ zu der Leiterplatte montiert, wenn der wenigstens eine Haltesteg in dem zugeordneten Befestigungsloch im Eingriff ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting piece has at least one holding web, which is produced by stamping and bending of the sheet metal strip forming the connecting piece. This retaining bar protrudes from the mounting portion, regularly at approximately right angles thereto and is engaged in a recessed on the circuit board mounting hole. By this holding web, a positionally accurate positioning of the connection piece during assembly is made possible on the one hand. The fitting is not mounted in place relative to the printed circuit board until the at least one retaining ridge is engaged in the associated mounting hole.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist das Befestigungsloch des Weiteren mit Lot ausgefüllt und der Haltesteg steht mit einer Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte elektrisch in Verbindung. Dabei kontaktiert das Lot regelmäßig die Umfangsfläche des Befestigungsloches, welches für sich wiederum mit einer elektrisch leitenden Beschichtung ausgekleidet ist. So sollte das Befestigungsloch vorzugsweise innen umfänglich mit einer Kupferbeschichtung versehen sein, über welche eine gute elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Haltesteg, dem in dem Befestigungsloch aufgenommenen Lot und einer auf der Ober- und/oder Unterseite der Leiterplatte ausgebildeten und mit der Umfangsbeschichtung des Befestigungsloches elektrisch verbundenen Leiterbahn gegeben ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the mounting hole is further filled with solder and the holding web is electrically connected to a conductor track of the printed circuit board. The solder regularly contacts the peripheral surface of the mounting hole, which in turn is lined with an electrically conductive coating. So the mounting hole should preferably be provided on the inside with a copper coating, via which a good electrical connection between the holding web, the solder received in the mounting hole and a conductor formed on the top and / or bottom of the circuit board and electrically connected to the peripheral coating of the mounting hole given is.
Der Haltesteg hat vorzugsweise eine Breite, die in etwa dem Durchmesser des Befestigungsloches entspricht. Dadurch ergib sich eine lagegenaue Positionierung des Anschlussstückes nach Einbringen des Haltesteges in das Befestigungsloch.The holding web preferably has a width which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the mounting hole. This results in a positionally accurate positioning of the connector after insertion of the retaining web in the mounting hole.
Gemäß der Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 10 wird dieses lagegenaue Einbringen des Haltesteges in das Befestigungsloch gefördert. Nach dieser Weiterbildung ist zwischen dem Haltesteg und dem Befestigungsabschnitt, der auf der Leiterplatte aufliegt, ein Zwischensteg vorgesehen, der gegenüber der Leiterplatte gekrümmt ausgebildet ist. Der Haltesteg und der Zwischensteg sind vorzugsweise durch Stanzen des den Befestigungsabschnitt bildenden Bleches zu einem Streifen herausgeschnitten. Der Zwischensteg ist durch Biegen des Streifens gekrümmt gegenüber derjenigen Anlagefläche der Leiterplatte herausgehoben, die für den Befestigungsabschnitt vorgesehen ist. Der von der Unterseite des Befestigungsabschnittes abragende Teil des Streifens erstreckt sich dementsprechend vorzugsweise streng rechtwinklig zu dieser Unterseite, wodurch das lagegenaue Einführen und Positionieren unter Beibehaltung einer flächigen Anlage des Befestigungsabschnittes an der Oberseite der Leiterplatte gewährleistet wird.According to the embodiment according to
Vorzugweise liegt der Befestigungsabschnitt flächig besonders bevorzugt ganzflächig auf einer auf der Oberfläche der Leiterplatte ausgebildeten Leiterbahnen auf.Preferably, the attachment portion is particularly preferably flat over the whole area on a conductor tracks formed on the surface of the printed circuit board.
