Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high current contact according to claim 1 and an electrical connector according to claim 6.
  • Such high current contact elements are used for example in motor vehicles, in particular in the field of electric hybrid drives.
  • a technical problem in the contacting of the current storage operating at high currents is the heat occurring here. Because of the required reliability, the contacting is typically carried out using a resilient component that generates a mechanical contact force. The contact normal force must be sufficiently large and maintained over the service life to ensure the operability of the drive. The performance of the resilient component and thus the connector is limited by the thermal limitation of the resilient component, since softening takes place at higher temperatures by reducing the residual stress.
  • Similar plug contacts are in the EP 0053745 A1 , of the EP 0105733 A2 and the FR 1234303 A shown. In addition, there is the technical problem that due to the high currents considerable line cross sections must be provided.
  • Another technical problem is the vibration and impact occurring during operation of vehicles.
  • the contact force must be maintained during the lifetime in order to ensure the functionality.
  • a corresponding shape of the contact material is used to achieve the spring action.
  • the performance of the contact system is limited by the thermal limitation of the resilient element, since at higher temperatures softening takes place by reducing the residual stresses. This is especially true for copper and copper alloys.
  • the DE 10 2005 032 462 A1 shows a socket contact for the production of an electrical connector with a bimetal formed of contact blades, which is the contact normal force F formed on a countercontact in a heating in the contacting area.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an easy-to-use high-current contact, which is wear-resistant and with which a durable and safe electrical connection, especially at high temperatures and vibrations is created.
  • the invention is based on the idea, on the one hand constructive design of the high current contact and on the other hand providing a self-deforming with increasing temperature component with low insertion forces at room temperature, namely for assembly and high contact force or normal contact force during operation, especially during use and at elevated ambient temperatures to reach.
  • the contact force in the high-current contact according to the invention is therefore increased automatically as soon as a temperature increase takes place.
  • the mechanical and / or electrical contact properties of the connector or the high-current contact are improved.
  • the high-current contact according to the invention serves for the transmission of current from a current source to an electrical conductor of a current collector, so that the high-current contact together with the corresponding contact pin on the one hand for mechanical connection and on the other hand for electrically contacting the current collector with the power source via an electrical contact surface of the high-current contact with the contact pin serves.
  • the mechanical connection is strengthened automatically by current flow rising temperature of the high current contact by the high current contact or the automatically deforming components, in particular the ring, is solved in a simple manner existing especially at high temperatures problem of contacting the mating contact, which Use of the high-current contact and such electrical connectors at higher temperatures, in particular over 200 ° C and up to 400 ° C, allows.
  • the high-current contact according to the invention or the electrical connector according to the invention thus solves the dilemma between the electrical and thermal performance of the electrical connector and the plug-in forces required for mating, which were previously in a change ratio.
  • the ring is seated at room temperature substantially bias-free on the socket. As a result, fatigue of the high-current contact outside of the operating times is avoided as possible or largely excluded.
  • the ring is axially secured by two oppositely arranged laterally from the ring stops in the receiving portion, on the one hand a defined function by exact positioning of the ring allows and on the other hand ensures safe operation.
  • the socket has at least two, in particular three, preferably four radially extending slots, at least in the receiving portion, the high current contact on the one hand in a simple manner mountable and on the other hand nestles the high current contact or the socket optimally to the contact pin.
  • the high-current contact element is not formed circumferentially closed at least in the receiving portion, but partially interrupted.
  • the socket has in particular a cylindrical shape, more preferably a circular cylindrical shape.
  • the ring is a rolled, in particular roll-clad, metal strip, which is in particular designed as a bimetallic strip.
  • the ring which can also be referred to as over-spring, is made of a bimetal
  • an increasing contact force can be achieved over the property of the bimetal with increasing temperature.
  • the bimetal is preferably a bimetallic strip.
  • Particularly preferred are the bimetallic strips with the abbreviation GCuZ.
  • GCuZ6 is preferred.
  • the ring is particularly advantageous in this case to form the ring as a bimetal strip with a first metal layer facing away from the contact surface on the outer circumference of the socket and made of a material having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than a second metal layer forming at least partially the contact surface.
  • an automatically deforming element can be provided in the smallest space, with which a self-regulating reinforcement and optimization of the plug-in contact of the electrical connector is achieved.
  • the first metal layer of aluminum and the second metal layer of copper in particular as a copper alloy, particularly preferably as a copper alloy of the first metal layer.
  • the contact pin and the socket and the ring are dimensioned so that at room temperature is a substantially loose fit between the socket and the contact pin, a low insertion force is achieved at room temperature and on the other side during use or at the same time for mounting Operation causes an increased contact force.
  • the electrical connector is provided with two in the axial direction next to each other, in particular spaced from each other, arranged rings. This double security is achieved when For example, one of the two rings has become tired or damaged.
  • several identical variants of a high-current contact can be configured only by the number of rings with different contact forces.
  • the diameter of the contact pin substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the socket in the receiving portion at room temperature, the assembly of the electrical connector, ie the insertion of the contact pin into the socket, greatly simplified, so that without technical aids, so by hand, can be plugged.
  • a high-current contact 1 which consists of two components, namely a socket 2 and the socket 2 in a receiving portion 3 of the socket 2 surrounding ring 10.
  • the socket 2 is made in one piece from aluminum, while the ring 10 is formed as a bimetallic strip, which reduces its diameter by increasing the temperature, thereby causing a deformation in the direction of the socket 2.
  • the ring 10 is secured in the receiving portion 3 by stops 4, 5 in the intended position, so that the ring when inserting the ring on the socket 2 in the recessed portion between the stops 4, 5 engages.
  • the receiving portion 3 of the socket 2 Due to the deformation of the ring 10 on the receiving portion 3 of the socket 2, the receiving portion 3 of the socket 2 is compressed.
  • slits 6 are provided in the form of incisions at the mating end of the socket 2, spring provided by the slots 6 spring portions 7 of the socket 2 in the direction of a plug-in opening 8 of the socket. 2
  • FIG. 2 a contact pin 20 is shown, which is inserted with its plug portion 21 in the socket opening 8.
  • an electrical plug connection is formed, wherein the mating can be done easily and manually at room temperature, in particular 15 ° C to 25 ° C, preferably about 20 ° C.
  • a handle 23 in the form of a collar is provided approximately centrally in the radial direction of the contact pin 20.
  • a plastic cover 24 at the mating end of the contact pin 20 is provided.
  • a stop 22 is provided between the plastic cover 24 and the handle 23, to ensure a defined insertion depth of the contact pin 20 in the socket opening 8.
  • the stop 22 thus abuts the end of the run-on slope 1 on the inner circumference of the socket 2.
  • the inner diameter of the bushing opening 8 corresponds at room temperature substantially to the outer diameter of the contact pin 20 in the plug-in section 21.
  • the electrical connector is configured accordingly self-regulating.
  • the decoupling between conductive material, in particular copper or copper alloy, and mechanically active material, namely the bimetal, based on different metal alloys also advantageous insofar as the relaxation processes in the copper material which commence at relatively low temperatures do not impair the performance of the electrical connector.
