A hump projects from the ground plate portion and has a slot for receiving the cable at a location along the cable. A solder connection is established between the metallic shield and the ground plate portion at the hump. -
US 2007/0246241 A1 describes a bus plate with a plurality of darts that are laterally aligned and laterally spaced from each other. - It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved bus bar. This objective is achieved by a bus bar according to claim 1. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved method for producing a bus bar. This objective is achieved by a method according to claim 6. Preferred embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- A bus bar comprises a first surface and a second surface. The bus bar comprises a metal. The bus bar further comprises a first welding bump at a first position of the bus bar and a second welding bump at a second position of the bus bar. The first welding bump protrudes above the first surface and the second welding bump protrudes above the second surface. The first position and the second position are directly adjacent to each other. Advantageously, this bus bar allows to be welded on two contact legs that are located very close to each other. Advantageously, this allows to design an apparatus that uses the bus bar with very small dimensions.
- A crack is arranged in the bus bar between the first position and the second position. Advantageously, this allows the material of the bus bar to protrude in the areas of the welding bumps such that the welding bumps can be arranged directly adjacent to each other.
- In an embodiment of the bus bar the first welding spot protrudes between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm above the first surface. Advantageously, this allows the first welding spot to be welded reliably on an electric contact.
- In an embodiment of the bus bar the first welding bump comprises an elongate shape. Advantageously, this increases the usable surface of the first welding bump, allowing to compensate for tolerances in the fabrication and alignment of the bus bar and electric components welded on said bus bar.
- In an embodiment of the method the first welding bump and the second welding bump are point symmetric. Advantageously, this allows both welding bumps to be welded on contacts in the same way.
- In an embodiment of the bus bar the bus bar comprises a copper-tin alloy. Advantageously, a copper-tin alloy comprises high-electric conductance and is well-suited for resistance welding.
- A method for producing a bus bar comprises steps of providing a metal comprising bus bar with a first surface and a second surface, for stamping a first welding bump and a second welding bump into the bus bar, wherein the first welding bump is stamped at a first position of the bus bar and the second welding bar is stamped at a second position of the bus bar. The first welding bump protrudes above the first surface and the second welding bump protrudes above the second surface. The first welding bump and the second welding bump are stamped simultaneously. Advantageously, stamping the first welding bump and the second welding bump simultaneously provides reproducible control over the behaviour of the material of the bus bar in an area between the first position and the second position.
- A crack is created in the bus bar between the first position and the second position while stamping the welding bumps. Advantageously, such controlled creation of a crack between the first position and the second position prevents an uncontrolled tearing of the material of the bus bar in the area between the first position and the second position while allowing the first position and the second position to be close to each other.
- Accordingly the first position and the second position are directly adjacent to each other. Advantageously, this allows the first welding bump and the second welding bump to be located very close to each other.
- In an embodiment of the method a hole is created in the bus bar between the first position and the second position before stamping the welding bumps. Advantageously, creating a hole between the first position and the second position supports a controlled creation of a crack in the bus bar between the first position and the second position whilst stamping the welding bumps. Advantageously, this prevents an uncontrolled tearing of the material of the bus bar between the first position and the second position of the bus bar at a later point in time.
- In one embodiment of the method the hole is drilled, punched or stamped into the bus bar. Advantageously, these techniques of creating the hole provide simple and reliable ways of creating the hole in the bus bar.
- In a further development of the method the first welding bump is resistance welded on a contact leg. Advantageously, this allows the bus bar to be electrically connected to the contact leg.

bus bar 100 comprises an electrically conductive material, for example a metal. Thebus bar 100 may for example comprise a copper-tin alloy or another alloy. - The
bus bar 100 comprises the shape of a flat-strip with afirst surface 101 and asecond surface 102. Between thefirst surface 101 and thesecond surface 102 thebus bar 100 comprises athickness 103. Thethickness 103 may for example be about 5 mm. - The
bus bar 100 comprises a first welding bump 110 and a second welding bump 120. The first welding bump 110 is arranged at afirst position 111 of thebus bar 100. The second welding bump 120 is arranged at asecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 each comprise an elongate shape arranged in parallel to a longitudinal direction of thebus bar 100. - The
first position 111 and thesecond position 121 are arranged directly adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction of thebus bar 100. - The first welding bump 110 protrudes over the
first surface 101 of thebus bar 100. The second welding bump 120 protrudes over thesecond surface 102 of thebus bar 100. The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 are thus point symmetric with respect to each other. - In an
intermediate area 131 between the first welding bump 110 at thefirst position 111 and the second welding bump 120 at the second position 121 a crack 130 is arranged in thebus bar 100. The crack 130 is an opening in the material of thebus bar 100 and was formed in a controlled manner at the same time that the first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 were formed. - The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 are each provided for being welded on electrical conductors, for example for being welded on contact legs of electrical elements such as capacitors. In the example shown in
Figure 1 the first welding bump 110 is welded on acontact leg 140 by a weld joint 141. Thecontact leg 140 may for example be a contact leg of a capacitor. The weld joint 141 may have been created by means of resistance welding for example. - A method for producing the
bus bar 100 will now be explained with reference toFigures 2 to 6 . - In a first step the
metal bus bar 100 is provided without welding bumps 110, 120 as shown in the top-view ofFigure 2 . Thebus bar 100 is provided as an elongate strip of a metal with thefirst position 111 designated for creation of the first welding bump 110 and thesecond position 121 designated for creation of the second welding bump 120. - Optionally a
hole 132 may be drilled in theintermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121. Thehole 132 may also be created otherwise in theintermediate area 131. For example, thehole 132 may be punched or stamped in theintermediate area 131. Thehole 132 supports a controlled formation of the crack 130. Creation of thehole 131 may, however, be omitted. -
Figure 3 schematically shows the creation of the first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120.Figure 3 depicts a side-view of thebus bar 100. Afirst plunger 150 is pressed against thesecond surface 102 in afirst direction 151 at thefirst position 111 of thebus bar 100. Simultaneously, asecond plunger 160 presses against thefirst surface 101 in asecond direction 161 at thesecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. Thefirst plunger 150 thus stamps the first welding bump 110. Thesecond plunger 160 simultaneously stamps the second welding bump 120. At the same time the crack 130 is formed in theintermediate area 131 in a controlled manner. -
Figure 4 shows a sectional view of thebus bar 100 after stamping the first welding bump 110 with thefirst plunger 150 and the second welding bump 120 with thesecond plunger 160. In the sectional view ofFigure 4 thebus bar 100 is sliced along line AA shown inFigure 2 . At thefirst position 111 the first welding bump 110 has been created. Simultaneously, the second welding bump 120 has been created at thesecond position 121. - Also simultaneously, the crack 130 has been created in the
intermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121 by tearing of the material of thebus bar 100. The creation of thecrack 131 may have been supported by thehole 132 drilled, punched, stamped or created otherwise into thebus bar 100 in theintermediate area 131 before stamping the welding bumps 110, 120. Alternatively, the crack 130 may have been created without a preceeding formation of thehole 132. - The first welding bump 110 protrudes over the
first surface 101 of thebus bar 100 by afirst height 112. The second welding bump 120 protrudes over thesecond surface 102 of thebus bar 100 by a second height 122. Thefirst height 112 and the second height 122 may for example be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm, in particular about 0.4 mm. -
Figure 5 shows a side-view of thebus bar 100 with the first welding bump 110 protruding over thefirst surface 101 and the second welding bump 120 protruding over thesecond surface 102. -
Figure 6 shows a top-view of thebus bar 100 with the first welding bump 110 at thefirst position 111, the second welding bump 120 at thesecond position 121 and the crack 130 in theintermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121. -
Figure 7 summarises the method for producing thebus bar 100 in a schematic flow-diagram 200. In afirst step 210 themetal bus bar 100 is provided without welding bumps 110, 120. In an optionalsecond method step 220 thehole 132 is drilled in theintermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. In athird method step 230 the first welding bump 110 is stamped at thefirst position 111. Simultaneously, the second welding bump 120 is stamped at thesecond position 121. Stamping of the welding bumps 110, 120 creates the crack 130 in theintermediate area 131 at the same time.
