Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contact element for imparting electrical contact between two electrical conductor elements or contact parts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the contact element according to EP 0 520 950 comprises two strips which communicate with one another with resilient webs.
  • the webs can be pivoted to the strips, with a torsional force acting on the connection point between web and strip.
  • EP 0 520 950 has a number of disadvantages. Due to the shape of the web, the degree of deformation in the region of the joint is relatively high, which causes high stresses in the region of the joint. As a result, the use of a high-strength copper alloy, in particular a high-strength beryllium-containing copper alloy, is required. Such alloys are very expensive, and beryllium, when released, can have deleterious effects.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a contact blade or a contact element, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the contact element should be made more robust, so that the number of contact operations can be increased.
  • a contact element according to claim 1 is used to mediate an electrical contact between two electrical conductors or contact parts.
  • the shape of the electrical conductors or contact parts can be varied and, for example, a socket and plug connection or a connection between two flat contacts with flat or planar conductors or contact parts.
  • the contact element according to claim 1 comprises at least two strips parallel to one another and extending along or parallel or in the direction of a longitudinal axis and a row of webs arranged between the strips and connected to the strips. The webs are each resiliently connected to one of the strips via a first torsion section and to another of the strips via a second torsion section.

  • the design of the edge edges has the advantage that such a contact element can be produced efficiently with maximum utilization. In particular, the punching waste can be reduced.
  • a maximum extension of the web can be achieved. As such, the web is extended in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the first contact section to the second contact section.

  • the lifetime can be increased.
  • larger contact paths can be provided with constant tension in the torsion section. Although the latter does not directly increase the life, but has the significant advantage that the contact element can be used in a variety of contact configurations, whereby the flexibility is increased.
  • the webs In the deformed state, the webs can be pivoted to the strips, wherein a rotation acts on the Torsionsabitese.
  • the Torsionsabitese are resilient, so that the webs are pressed in a contact situation by the spring action constantly against the contact parts, so that a defined electrical contact can be provided.
  • the front web edge and the rear web edge preferably run parallel and / or complementary to each other.
  • the front web edge and the rear web edge have an identical course to one another, wherein the distance between the front web edge and the rear web edge, viewed in the longitudinal axis, is constant over the entire web width from the first torsion portion to the second torsion portion.
  • the torsion section is preferably provided by a series of apertures arranged at regular intervals from one another, wherein the torsion section is formed in the region between two successive and successive apertures in the longitudinal axis. Seen in the longitudinal axis of the torsion is so limited and defined by two openings. In a transverse direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the torsion portions are substantially limited by the extent of the apertures in the same direction. The torsion portion thus has substantially the same extent in the transverse direction as the breakthrough.
  • the breakthroughs are the only punches, which is made in the area of the webs. In this respect, the punching waste can be kept to a minimum.
  • the front land edge extends rearwardly from the protrusion on both sides of this protrusion and defines a front side portion.
  • This front side section runs in sections substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis, in particular in a region which adjoins the torsion section.
  • the rear web edge extends from the recess on both sides of this indentation to the rear and defines a rear side portion.
  • This rear side section extends in sections essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis, in particular in a region which adjoins the torsion section.
  • the side sections are parts of the front edge of the track or the rear edge of the track.
  • the front web edge merges with the bulge to the front side portion via a rounded connecting portion.

  • the side sections open into the respective torsion section.
  • the rear web edge is seen from one strip to the other strip, provided by a rear side portion, a rounded connecting portion, the indentation, a rounded connecting portion and another side portion.
  • the side sections open into the Torsion.
  • the contacting edge margins of two immediately adjacent webs open together into the same breach in the region of one strip and in the region of the other strip.

  • the aperture has a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion and the rear portion being preferably perpendicular to the strips, and the front portion and the rear portion communicating via two side portions which are preferably parallel to the strips run.
  • the breakthrough is therefore limited by the side sections and the front and the rear section.
  • the front web edge and the rear web edge or the side sections of the web edges open in the area of the side portion of the opening, but preferably not in the region of the rounding, into the opening.
  • the webs immediately following one another along the strips are separated from one another in the region of the web edges by cuts carried out without material removal, and touch in the undeformed state, in particular at least approximately or approximately or completely. At least approximately here is to be understood that the edge edges are separated only by the cut.

  • the web itself is preferably formed between the two torsion sections, apart from the bulge, and the side extending from the recess web portions substantially as a plane plane which is angled to the strip.
  • the Torsionsabites could also be referred to as a resilient hinge.
  • the bulge and / or the web portions are formed bent with respect to the plane plane with a curvature.
  • the curvature is preferably oriented against the strips. The curvature can thereby provide the effective contact section.
  • the strips are provided with a reinforcing bead, which extends in the direction of or parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the reinforcing bead preferably has a U-shaped cross section and / or a rectangular cross section and / or a rounded cross section.
  • the height of the reinforcing bead in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the strip is smaller than the extent of the web in the corresponding direction at maximum deflection of the web.
  • the conductors or contact parts do not come into contact with the reinforcing bead.
  • the contact element is or consists of a beryllium-free metal alloy, in particular of a beryllium-free copper alloy.
  • This choice of material has the advantage that no beryllium is used in the production. The waiver of beryllium but has the disadvantage that the strength of the material is reduced overall, whereby the maximum allowable stresses in the torsion are also smaller. With respect to the prior art longer formation of the webs, as described above, a lower deformation of the Torsionsabitese can be achieved with the same compression travel. As a result, the negative effect of the smaller permissible maximum voltage due to the choice of material can be compensated.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de contact (1) comprenant au moins deux bandes (2, 3) parallèles entre elles et s'étendant le long d'un axe longitudinal (L) et une série de barrettes (14) disposées entre les bandes (2, 3) et solidaires de ces dernières. Les barrettes (14) sont reliées élastiquement à l'une des bandes (2, 3) par un premier segment de torsion (4) et à une autre bande (2, 3) par un deuxième segment de torsion (5) et, à l'état déformé, elles sont inclinées par rapport aux bandes (2, 3) de telle façon qu'un premier segment de contact (6) s'étend au-dessus et un deuxième segment de contact (7) en dessous de la bande (2, 3). Les barrettes (14) possèdent chacune un bord de barrette avant (8) et un bord de barrette arrière (9). Le bord de barrette avant (8) comporte une partie en saillie (10) et le bord de barrette arrière (9) comporte une partie en creux (11) qui est ajustée à ou complémentaire de la partie en saillie (10) d'un bord de barrette immédiatement adjacent. La partie en saillie (10) constitue ledit premier segment de contact (6) et, de part et d'autre de la partie en creux (11), les barrettes (14) comportent deux segments arrière de barrette (13) qui constituent le deuxième segment de contact (7). En outre, le bord de barrette avant (8) et le bord de barrette arrière (9) s'étendent depuis le premier segment de torsion (4) jusqu'au deuxième segment de torsion (5) et, à l'état non déformé, le bord de barrette avant (8) et le bord de barrette arrière (9) de deux barrettes (14) immédiatement adjacentes se touchent, en particulier au moins approximativement, sur la totalité de leur longueur.
