Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Gehäuse gelöst, das in den Ansprüchen definiert ist.This object is achieved by a housing which is defined in the claims.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen aus.The invention is characterized by a number of advantages.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse besteht aus einem Chassis mit mindestens einem Verbindungsstecker, einer elektronischen Schaltung mit elektronischen Komponenten, welche auf einer Schaltungsplatine mit einer gedruckten Schaltungsstruktur angeordnet ist, und einem Verbindungssystem, wobei das Verbindungssystem aus einem ersten Verbindungselement und aus einem zweiten Verbindungselement besteht, wobei das erste Verbindungselement aus einer leitenden Lamelle besteht, wobei das zweite Verbindungselement aus einem leitenden Film besteht, der auf der Schaltungsplatine mit der gedruckten Schaltungsstruktur angeordnet ist, und wobei das erste Verbindungselement einen galvanischen Kontakt mittels Druck auf das zweite Verbindungselement herstellt. Dabei weist das erste Verbindungselement ein drittes Verbindungselement für einen Innenleiter eines Koaxialkabels auf, wobei durch die Einführung des Innenleiters des Koaxialkabels auch eine galvanische Verbindung eines Maschendrahts mit dem Chassis hergestellt wird, und wobei zu der Verbindung des Maschendrahts des Koaxialkabels mit dem Chassis das Gehäuse Scharniere aufweist, die den Maschendraht des Koaxialkabels in den Verbindungsstecker des Chassis einführen und befestigen.The housing according to the invention consists of a chassis with at least one connector, an electronic circuit with electronic components, which is arranged on a circuit board with a printed circuit structure, and a connection system, wherein the connection system consists of a first connection element and a second connection element, wherein the said first connection member is composed of a conductive fin, said second connection member being made of a conductive film disposed on said printed circuit pattern printed circuit board, and said first connection member making pressure contact with said second connection member by galvanic contact.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die leitende Lamelle (Feder) elastisch ausgebildet ist bzw. aus elastischem Material, zum Beispiel aus Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung besteht. Dies ist mit dem Vorteil verbunden, dass ein größerer Druck der leitenden Lamelle des ersten Verbindungselements auf den leitenden Film des zweiten Verbindungselements erzielt wird und so ein besserer galvanischer Kontakt hergestellt wird.An advantageous embodiment of the housing according to the invention is characterized in that the conductive blade (spring) is elastic or consists of elastic material, for example of copper or a copper alloy. This is associated with the advantage that a greater pressure of the conductive lamination of the first connecting element is achieved on the conductive film of the second connecting element and thus a better galvanic contact is made.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Schaltungsplatine eine erste Seite besitzt, auf der die gedruckte Schaltungsstruktur angeordnet ist, und eine zweite Seite, auf der der leitende Film angeordnet ist, der das zweite Verbindungselement bildet. Damit wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass eine größere Fläche für den leitenden Film des zweiten Verbindungselements vorgesehen werden kann und so die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem ersten Verbindungselement und dem zweiten Verbindungselement vergrößert werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the housing according to the invention is characterized in that the circuit board has a first side, on which the printed circuit structure is arranged, and a second side, on which the conductive film is formed, which forms the second connecting element.

Wie aus Figur 1 zu ersehen ist, weist die in der Figur dargestellte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses ein Chassis 1 auf, das aus einer Oberseite 11 und aus einer Unterseite 12 besteht. Ein Verbindungsstecker 2 bzw. eine Mehrzahl von Verbindungssteckern 2 ist üblicherweise an der Oberseite 11 angeordnet, hierauf ist die Erfindung jedoch nicht eingeschränkt.How out FIG. 1 can be seen, the embodiment of the housing according to the invention shown in the figure, a chassis 1, which consists of a top 11 and a bottom 12. A connector 2 or a plurality of connectors 2 is usually arranged on the top 11, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Weiterhin weist die Anordnung eine - in Figur 1 lediglich schematisch dargestellte - elektronische Schaltung 3 mit Schaltungskomponenten 31 auf, die auf einer Schaltungsplatine 32 angeordnet sind.Furthermore, the arrangement has a - in FIG. 1 only schematically illustrated - electronic circuit 3 with circuit components 31, which are arranged on a circuit board 32.

Schließlich weist die in Figur 1 dargestellte Anordnung ein Verbindungssystem 4 auf; dieses besteht aus einem ersten Verbindungselement 41 und aus einem zweiten Verbindungselement 42. Das erste Verbindungselement 41 besteht aus einer leitenden Lamelle (Feder) 411 sowie aus einem dritten Verbindungselement 43. Das zweite Verbindungselement 42 besteht aus einem leitenden Film 421, der auf der Schaltungsplatine 32 angeordnet ist.Finally, the in FIG. 1 illustrated arrangement on a connection system 4; this consists of a first connecting element 41 and a second connecting element 42. The first connecting element 41 consists of a conductive lamella (spring) 411 and of a third connecting element 43. The second connecting element 42 consists of a conductive film 421 which is mounted on the circuit board 32 is arranged.

Die Schaltungsplatine 32 besitzt eine erste Seite, auf der eine gedruckte Schaltungsstruktur angeordnet ist, und eine zweite Seite, auf der der leitende Film 421 angeordnet ist, der das zweite Verbindungselement 42 bildet. Elektronische Komponenten sowie Leiterbahnen können sowohl auf der ersten Seite wie auch auf der zweiten Seite der Schaltungsplatine angeordnet sein.The circuit board 32 has a first side on which a printed circuit pattern is disposed, and a second side on which the conductive film 421 constituting the second connection element 42 is arranged. Electronic components as well as printed conductors can be arranged both on the first side and on the second side of the circuit board.

Wie in Figur 1 weiterhin dargestellt ist das erste Verbindungselement 41 innerhalb eines isolierenden Elements (Block) 5 angeordnet, das im Wesentlichen aus zwei Teilen, einem vorderen Teil 51 und einem rückwärtigen Teil 52 besteht. Beide Teile 51, 52 werden miteinander verbunden und bilden im verbundenen Zustand ein Element 53, insbesondere einen kleinen Kanal 53, durch den die leitende Lamelle 411 des ersten Verbindungselements 41 verläuft. Das vordere Teil 51 des isolierenden Blocks 5 hat an seiner Stirnseite eine Durchgangsöffnung 511.As in FIG. 1 Furthermore, the first connecting element 41 is arranged within an insulating element (block) 5, which essentially consists of two parts, a front part 51 and a rear part 52. Both parts 51, 52 are connected to each other and form in the connected state, an element 53, in particular a small channel 53, through which the conductive blade 411 of the first connecting element 41 extends. The front part 51 of the insulating block 5 has a through hole 511 on its front side.

Figur 2 zeigt die Verbindungselemente des Verbindungssystems für eine Schaltungsplatine (mit einer gedruckten Schaltungsstruktur) eines Gehäuses gemäß der Erfindung. Wie aus Figur 2 zu ersehen ist, stellt die leitende Lamelle (Feder) 411 des ersten Verbindungselements 41 einen galvanischen Kontakt mittels Druck auf den leitenden Film 421 her, der auf der Schaltungsplatine 32 aufgebracht ist und der das zweite Verbindungselement 42 darstellt. FIG. 2 shows the connection elements of the connection system for a circuit board (with a printed circuit structure) of a housing according to the invention. How out FIG. 2 it can be seen, the conductive blade (spring) 411 of the first connecting element 41 makes a galvanic contact by means of pressure on the conductive Film 421 ago, which is applied to the circuit board 32 and which is the second connecting element 42.

Dieser Druck wird als Ergebnis des Drucks erzeugt, den die Oberseite 11 des Chassis 1 des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses auf den isolierenden Block 5 (siehe Figur 1) ausübt, wo das erste Verbindungselement 41 angeordnet ist, und des Drucks, den die Unterseite 12 des Chassis 1 auf die Schaltungsplatine 32 ausübt, wo das zweite Verbindungselement 42 angeordnet ist.This pressure is generated as a result of the pressure applied by the upper side 11 of the chassis 1 of the housing according to the invention to the insulating block 5 (see FIG FIG. 1 ), where the first connector 41 is located, and the pressure that the bottom 12 of the chassis 1 exerts on the circuit board 32 where the second connector 42 is disposed.

Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, ist die leitende Lamelle (Feder) 411, die das erste Verbindungselement 41 bildet, - vor ihrer Positionierung auf dem leitenden Film 421 - schräg (abgeschrägt, abgewinkelt) bezüglich dieses leitenden Films 421 angeordnet, der auf der Schaltungsplatine 32 angeordnet ist und der das zweite Verbindungselement 42 bildet.As in FIG. 2 4, the conductive fin (spring) 411 constituting the first connection member 41 is disposed obliquely (bevelled, angled) with respect to this conductive film 421 disposed on the circuit board 32 and before being positioned on the conductive film 421 forms the second connecting element 42.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Anordnung der leitenden Lamelle 411 - nach ihrer Positionierung - auf dem leitenden Film 421 ist in Figur 5 dargestellt.A preferred embodiment of the arrangement of the conductive fin 411 - after its positioning - on the conductive film 421 is in FIG. 5 shown.

Die Lamelle oder Feder 411 hat einen Körper, zum Beispiel in Form eines Zylinders oder eines - blattförmigen - Quaders, mit einer Stirnfläche 4111 und einer Kontaktfläche 4112. Die Kontaktfläche 4112 liegt nach ihrer entsprechenden Positionierung auf dem leitenden Film 421 auf und bildet mit diesem einen galvanischen Kontakt.The lamella or spring 411 has a body, for example in the form of a cylinder or a leaf-shaped cuboid, with an end face 4111 and a contact surface 4112. The contact face 4112 rests on the conductive film 421 after its corresponding positioning and forms one therewith galvanic contact.

Die Oberfläche der Kontaktfläche 4112 ist größer als die Oberfläche der Stirnseite 4111. Dementsprechend bilden die Lamelle 411 und der Film 421 einen galvanischen Kontakt mit einer entsprechend großen Kontaktfläche.The surface of the contact surface 4112 is larger than the surface of the end surface 4111. Accordingly, the blade 411 and the film 421 form a galvanic contact with a correspondingly large contact area.

In Figur 6, die den Stand der Technik entsprechend der eingangs genannten spanischen Patentanmeldung P200901964 zeigt, bildet eine Lamelle 4 mit einem Film 31 einen galvanischen Kontakt mit einer vergleichsweise kleinen Kontaktfläche.In FIG. 6 , which shows the state of the art according to the aforementioned Spanish patent application P200901964, a lamella 4 with a film 31 forms a galvanic contact with a comparatively small contact surface.
