Definitions

  • the following invention relates to an electrical contact device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the prior art according to the preamble of claim 1 is the DE 20 2011 100357 A1 called. Similar reveal the WO 2008/095453 A1 and the EP 2 280 453 A1 as well as the DE AS 1 136 393 , The technological background is also the DE 26 24 397 A1 called.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an electrical contact device, in particular for electrical connection devices, in which the electrical contact, in particular under vibration conditions, ensures different rigid and flexible conductors.
  • the electrical contact device is a stamped and bent component and a component of a terminal, with which an electrical conductor is contacted.
  • An electrical contact device is a contact part or a contact assembly, which is provided for guiding an electric current, and with which an electrical contact is made to an electrical conductor.
  • Such an electrical conductor preferably has a, in particular electrically insulating, sheath and an electrically conductive wire.
  • conductive conductors are both full conductors with a single, in particular rigid, core and stranded conductor with a plurality of, in particular bendable, cores.
  • the electrical contact device is characterized in that the contact zone has a first contact region and a second contact region, wherein the both contact areas have different roughness.
  • the conductor preferably contacts the contact zone / surface in at least one of the two contact regions in an electrically conductive manner.
  • the electrical contact device according to the invention is therefore suitable for variously rigid or flexible electrical conductors (single-core or multi-core)
  • the roughness is formed by contact geometries or contours, wherein the second contact geometry or contour of the second contact region has an elevation which is greater than the elevation of the first contact geometry or contour of the first contact region.
  • the contact geometries are preferably designed so that they ensure a good contact, but not injured the surface of the conductor.
  • the contact geometries lead to a bending of the conductor in a pressing of the conductor to the contact zone.
  • the second contact geometry with a larger elevation is suitable for conductors of greater rigidity, the first contact geometry with a lower elevation for conductors of greater flexibility.
  • As contact geometries or contours are particularly advantageous edges, but also other geometries such as curves, tips or hooks, as long as they avoid injury to the ladder.
  • the second contact region then has an extension over the contact zone which is smaller than the extent of the first contact region. It is particularly preferred that the second contact region has only a few or a single contact geometry.
  • the second contact region is therefore preferably designed such that it ensures the electrically conductive contact with comparatively rigid conductors.
  • the second contact area is thus particularly suitable for contacting full conductors.
  • first contact region it is preferable for a multiplicity of first contact geometries to be provided in the first contact region. Since the contact geometry of the first contact region has a smaller elevation, the conductor bends around or along the many first contact geometries.
  • the first contact region is therefore preferably designed such that it ensures the electrically conductive contact with comparatively flexible conductors. In terms of the type of electrical conductor is suitable The first contact area thus especially for contacting flexible single conductors or stranded conductors.
  • the second contact region preferably has a second contact geometry, which has a contact flank rising in a feed direction of the electrical conductor, in particular a flattening contact flank.
  • the electrical contact device preferably has a feed side and a second side opposite the feed side, wherein it has a feed edge rising in the feed direction on its feed side.
  • the feed edge also facilitates feeding the conductor.
  • the first contact region is arranged in the feed direction behind the second contact region, so that a conductor always bends around the second contact geometry.
  • an electrical connection device in particular with a terminal block, a plug and / or a socket, comprises such an electrical contact device. It is preferred that the electrical connection device comprises a force means which serves for pressing an electrical conductor arranged in the connection device against the contact surface.
  • the force means is a spring in a preferred embodiment.
  • a spring is preferably made as a bent or stamped bent part of a spring steel.
  • any desired springs for example spiral springs or leaf springs, are suitable.
  • other force means may be suitable, for example, elastically and / or plastically formed moldings, preferably of a metal.
  • the force means is preferably arranged at the level of the first contact area. As a result, it presses the conductor in the direction of the first contact area. With the second contact region arranged in the feed direction in front of the first contact region, this design ensures that a relatively rigid conductor is pressed at least against the second contact geometry, while a relatively flexible conductor is thereby pressed at least against the first contact region.
  • the electrical connection device is a spring-loaded terminal, particularly preferably a push-in plug (direct plug-in technology plug).
  • the conductor itself opens the nip during insertion, either a full conductor or a stranded conductor.
  • an actuator for opening the nip can also be provided here.
  • the electrical contact device 1 of Fig. 1 has a feed side 11 and a feed side 11 opposite second side 12 and extends between these two sides 11, 12 along a plane yz, which is spanned by two transverse lines y, z. In principle, however, an electrical contact device 1 can also be curved.
  • the electrical contact device 1 has a contact zone or surface 2 which comprises a first contact region 21 and a second contact region 22.
  • the first contact region 21 is arranged behind the second contact region 22 when viewed in a feed direction 5 of a conductor 3.
  • first contact region 21 a multiplicity of first contact geometries 211 are provided which extend over a first extension y1 of the contact zone 2. In cross-section, the first contact region 21 is therefore formed with multiple points. In principle, the first contact geometries 211 of the first contact region 21 can have any desired steeply rising and falling flanks 212 in the feed direction 5.
  • a single second contact geometry 221 is provided, which extends over a second extension y2 of the contact zone / surface 2.
  • the second contact region 22 has exactly one point. It is preferred that the second contact geometry 221 of the second contact region 22 flattens in the feeding direction 5, in order to supply a conductor 3 (s. Fig. 2 ) to facilitate.
  • the second contact geometry 221 of the second contact region 22 also has a very steeply sloping edge 223 in the feed direction 5 in order to allow a bending of a rigid conductor 3.
  • the electrical contact device 1 In order to facilitate the feeding of a conductor 3, the electrical contact device 1 also has a feed edge 111 at the feed end 11.
  • first contact geometries 211 have a smaller elevation x1 than the elevation x2 of the second contact geometry 221.
  • Fig. 2 shows the insertion of a conductor 3 in an electrical connection device 10, which comprises a contact device 1 according to the invention.
  • the conductor 3 is an electrical conductor. Shown here is a full conductor without an insulating sheath 32 (s. Fig. 2c ), so that here the core 31 of the electrical conductor 3 is visible.
  • the electrical connection device 10 As electrical connection device 10, a spring-loaded terminal is shown here by way of example.
  • the electrical connection device 10 has a spring 4 as a force.
  • electrically conductive components are shown, namely a side wall 1012, on which the spring 4 is fixed, and a bottom wall 1011, on which the side wall 1012 is fixed.
  • the electrical contact device 1 is also an electrically conductive component of the electrical connection device 10 and forms a fixed to the bottom wall 1011 side wall 1012th
  • the spring 4 has an open end 41 and is designed such that its open end 41 is arranged at the level of the first contact region 21 of the contact zone 2.
  • the Fig. 2 (b) shows the inserted into the electrical connection device 10 full conductor. 3
  • Fig. 2 (c) shows a introduced into the electrical connection device 10 stranded conductor as an electrical conductor 3.
  • the stranded conductor 3 has an electrically insulating sheath 32 and a plurality of flexible cores or strands 31st
