Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for transmitting electrical current with at least two electrically conductive interconnected rigid conductors.
  • the invention was based on the object, a generic system of at least two electrically conductive with each other associated rigid conductors indicate that, despite the possibility of a tolerance compensation with respect to the positioning of electrical functional elements to be connected by means of this system ensures a secure transmission behavior.
  • a generic system for the transmission of electric power both energy supply and signal transmission (including high frequency signals) and in particular of high current (> 48 V voltage of the power source) with at least two electrically conductive interconnected, rigid conductors according to the invention further developed in that the two conductors (indirectly) via at least one electrically conductive, deformable connecting element (electrically conductive) are connected.
  • the deformable connecting element ensures a relative mobility of the rigid conductors, by means of which tolerances with regard to the positioning of electrical functional elements which are to be connected via the system according to the invention can be compensated.
  • the connecting element may particularly preferably comprise a (preferably cylindrical) helical spring, which is formed annularly closed in the direction of its longitudinal axis and engages under bias a portion of a first of the conductors. This encompassing of the first conductor under bias ensures a permanent contact between the conductor and the coil spring.
  • a good transmission behavior can be achieved for the current flowing through the system.
  • the / the contact element (s) itself formed electrically conductive and also is electrically conductively connected to the first conductor / are.
  • the first conductor not only contacts the annular helical spring (s) on its inner side (with which it embraces the first conductor), but also via the contact element (s).
  • the effective area for the transmission of the current can be increased.
  • the second conductor which may be formed, for example, in the form of a flat component, has an opening through which the first conductor, which may be pin-shaped (at least in one section), extends. It is particularly preferably provided that at least one dimension of the opening of the second conductor are larger than the corresponding outer dimension of the first conductor in its recorded in the opening portion. This ensures relative mobility of the conductors in a variety of directions.
  • the opening and the portion of the first conductor received therein each have a circular cross-section, wherein the diameter difference is between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm.
  • FIG. 1 shows a system according to the invention in an exploded isometric view
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the system according to the invention according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG 1 and 2 show in different views an inventive system for the transmission of high current, as it can be used for example in the drive train of an electrified motor vehicle.
  • the system comprises two conductors 1, 2, which are designed as relatively bulky, solid metal components and therefore substantially rigid. A deformation of the conductors 1, 2 during assembly, for example, to compensate for positional tolerances of the system to be connected electrical functional elements, is therefore not possible.
  • the conductors 1, 2 are bulky and solid in order to keep their electrical resistance and consequently the power loss during the transmission of the high current low.
  • a first of the two conductors 1 is pin-shaped and the second conductor 2 is a contact rail, i. designed as a flat component.
  • the second conductor 2 has an opening 3 through which the first conductor 1 protrudes in the assembled state of the system.
  • the diameter of the opening 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the first conductor 1 in that portion in which it is accommodated in the opening.
  • the relative mobility of the two conductors 1, 2 to each other ensures a balance of positioning tolerances of the electrical functional elements, the to be connected by means of the system according to the invention.
  • the connecting elements are designed in the form of helical springs 4, which form a closed ring with respect to the longitudinal axes defined by the windings (with respect to the windings).
  • the inner diameter of the two annular coil springs 4 (in the unloaded state) are slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the first conductor 1 in those sections in which these surround the first conductor 1 after assembly of the system.
  • the coil springs 4, when they surround the corresponding sections of the first conductor 1, are radially widened, which, as a result of the elastic reaction forces, ensures a secure, complete abutment of the coil springs 4 on the first conductor 1.
  • the second conductor 2 is formed at its two large side surfaces of each one of the coil springs 4 in a radial plane formed by the respective coil spring 4, i. annular contact.
  • the one contact element is designed as a head part 5 of the first conductor 1, which has a larger diameter compared to a pin-shaped main body 6 of the first conductor 1.
  • the head part 5 forms an annular recess 7, in which the associated coil spring 4 is added.
  • the annular recess 7 is formed by an annular collar 8, whose longitudinal extent is chosen so that the (unloaded) coil spring 4 projects beyond this still a piece. This ensures that in a weak pressing of the head part 5 against the coil spring 4 is still a defined distance between the collar 8 and the second conductor 2, which ensures the desired ßewegiichkeit the first conductor 1 and the second conductor 2 to each other.
  • the second contact element is provided in the form of a contact sleeve 9, which also has a collar 8, which forms an annular recess 7, in which the associated coil spring 4 is almost completely absorbed. Also, this collar 8 is dimensioned so that at a low pressure from the contact sleeve 9 on the coil spring 4, a distance between the collar 8 and the second conductor 2 remains.
  • the minimum distance between the two contact elements is structurally determined, for which purpose an annular projection 10 is provided, against which the contact sleeve 9 abuts. This ensures that the contact sleeve 9 can not be moved too far in the direction of the head part 5 during assembly of the system, which otherwise could make the distances between the contact elements and the second conductor 2 too low.
  • connection of the contact sleeve 9 with the first conductor 1 is frictionally carried out by the inner diameter of the central opening 1 1 of the contact sleeve 9 is chosen slightly smaller than the outer diameter of a mounting portion 12 of the first conductor 1.
  • the diameter difference is preferably chosen so small that the contact sleeve 9 can be pushed manually or with the aid of a hand tool on the mounting portion 12.
  • the attachment portion 12 of the first conductor 1 has a slightly larger diameter than the portion of the base body 6 lying in front in the insertion direction on.
  • the contact sleeve 9 can be plugged onto the base body 6 of the first conductor 1 without substantial expenditure of force and can be displaced up to the fastening section 12.
  • An assembly of the system according to the invention is carried out by first one of the coil springs 4 is pushed onto the base body 6 of the first conductor 1 until it is received in the annular recess 7 of the head part 5. Then, the main body 6 of the first conductor 1 is inserted through the opening 3 of the second conductor 2. This is followed by a sliding of the other coil spring 4 on the base body 6 of the first conductor 1 and finally a sliding of the contact sleeve 9 on the mounting portion 12 of the first conductor. 1
  • the inventive design of the system allows relative mobility of the two conductors 1, 2 (within limits) to each other, and this both along the longitudinal axis of the first conductor 1 and radially thereto. Also tilting of first conductor 1 and second conductor 2 to each other is possible.
  • the effective for the transmission of the high current surface is essentially always the same, since the relative movement of the two conductors 1, 2 is received by the elastically deformable coil springs 4, without affecting the size of the contact surfaces between the two conductors 1, 2 and two coil springs 4 changed significantly.
