Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren Herstellung einer Anordnung zum elektrisch leitenden Verbinden von elektrischen Leitern, bei welchem eine Anzahl von elektrischen Kontaktelementen an einem gemeinsamen Träger aus elektrisch leitendem Metall angebracht wird und bei welchem danach Gegenkontakte an die Kontaktelemente angeschlossen werden, die jeweils am Ende eines elektrischen Leiters angebracht sind sowie auf eine mit dem Verfahren hergestellte Anordnung ( EP 2 073 314 A1 ).The invention relates to a method of producing an arrangement for the electrically conductive connection of electrical conductors, in which a number of electrical contact elements are attached to a common support of electrically conductive metal and in which thereafter mating contacts are connected to the contact elements, each at the end an electrical conductor and to a device produced by the method ( EP 2 073 314 A1 ).

Eine mit einem solchen Verfahren hergestellte Anordnung kann beispielsweise zum gemeinsamen Anschluß von mindestens zwei Leitern eines Kabelsatzes für elektrische Geräte und Kraftfahrzeuge an ein gemeinsames Potential, wie beispielsweise "Masse", eingesetzt werden. Ein solcher Anschluß erfolgt in der Regel über einen elektrischen Leiter, der zusammen mit anderen Leitern in einem Halter angeordnet ist. Für die Verbindung aller Leiter ist in bekannter Technik beispielsweise in einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Gehäuse ein metallisches Stanzgitter mit Vorsprüngen angebracht, auf welche Steckkontakte aller Leiter aufgesteckt werden können.For example, an assembly made with such a method may be used to commonly connect at least two conductors of a harness for electrical appliances and automobiles to a common potential, such as "ground." Such a connection is usually via an electrical conductor, which is arranged together with other conductors in a holder. For the connection of all conductors, a metallic stamped grid with projections is mounted in a known technique, for example in a housing consisting of insulating material, on which plug contacts of all conductors can be plugged.

Aus der US 2007/0202753 A1 geht ein Verbinder für elektrische Leiter hervor, bei dem in einem ersten Halter eine Anzahl von Steckbuchsen und in einem zweiten Halter eine entsprechende Anzahl von Steckerstiften vorgesehen sind. Beide Halter sind in Arbeitsposition in einem Gehäuse aufgenommen. Der zweite Halter ist als Platine mit Leiterbahnen ausgeführt, in welche die Steckerstifte eingepreßt sind. Die Steckerstifte sind nach einem vorgegebenen Muster in unterschiedlicher Anzahl durch jeweils voneinander getrennte Leiterbahnen elektrisch leitend miteinander verbunden. Dieser Verbinder ist kompliziert aufgebaut und nur mit großem Aufwand zu handhaben.From the US 2007/0202753 A1 goes out a connector for electrical conductors, in which a number of sockets are provided in a first holder and a corresponding number of connector pins in a second holder. Both holders are housed in working position in a housing. The second holder is designed as a circuit board with conductor tracks, in which the connector pins are pressed. The plug pins are electrically conductively connected to each other according to a predetermined pattern in different numbers by each separate interconnects. This connector is complicated and can be handled only with great effort.

Das bekannte Verfahren nach der eingangs erwähnten EP 2 073 314 A1 und die mit demselben hergestellte Anordnung sind einfacher gestaltet. Die Anordnung dient zum elektrisch leitenden Verbinden von mit Steckkontakten ausgerüsteten Leitern mit Gegenkontakten, die in einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Verbinder angeordnet sind. In dem Verbinder befindet sich eine Platine mit einer Leiterbahn, in der als Gegenkontakte Steckerstifte zum Aufstecken der Steckkontakte angebracht sind. Der Querschnitt der als Einpreßkontakte ausgeführten Steckerstifte ist an den elektrisch leitenden Querschnitt der jeweils anzuschließenden Leiter bzw. an deren Steckkontakte angepaßt.The known method according to the above-mentioned EP 2 073 314 A1 and the arrangement made with it are simpler. The arrangement serves for the electrically conductive connection of ladder-equipped conductors with mating contacts, which are arranged in a connector made of insulating material. In the connector there is a circuit board with a conductor track in which plug pins for attaching the plug contacts are mounted as mating contacts. The cross-section of the plug pins designed as press-in contacts is adapted to the electrically conductive cross section of the respective conductor to be connected or to their plug contacts.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs geschilderte Verfahren und die entsprechende Anordnung weiter zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object to simplify the above-described method and the corresponding arrangement on.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst,

  • daß zunächst ein streifenförmiger Träger großer Länge hergestellt wird, bei dessen Herstellung Stege mit Abstand zueinander derart ausgebildet werden, daß sie zumindest an einer Seitenkante desselben von demselben abstehen,
  • daß die Stege des Trägers zu den Kontaktelementen geformt werden,
  • daß danach von dem Träger ein Abschnitt vorgegebener Länge mit einer vorgegebenen Anzahl von Kontaktelementen abgetrennt wird und
  • daß abschließend an die Kontaktelemente des Abschnitts die Gegenkontakte angeschlossen werden.
This object is achieved according to the invention characterized
  • that initially a strip-shaped support of great length is produced, in the production of which webs are formed at a distance from one another such that they protrude from the same at least on one side edge thereof,
  • that the webs of the carrier are formed into the contact elements,
  • that is subsequently separated from the carrier, a portion of predetermined length with a predetermined number of contact elements and
  • that finally the mating contacts are connected to the contact elements of the section.

Dieses Verfahren ist einfach ohne wesentlichen maschinellen Aufwand und ohne zusätzliche Handarbeit durchführbar. Es kann mit Vorteil vollautomatisch durchgeführt werden. Eine fertige Anordnung mit an die Kontaktelemente des jeweiligen Abschnitts eines Streifens angeschlossenen elektrischen Leitern ist ein kompaktes Bauteil mit relativ geringen Abmessungen. Sie kann aus diesem Grunde beispielsweise in einen aus einer Vielzahl von Leitern bzw. Leitungen bestehenden Kabelbaum integriert werden, ohne daß dessen Abmessungen wesentlich vergrößert werden.This method is easily feasible without significant mechanical effort and without additional manual work. It can be carried out fully automatically with advantage. A finished arrangement with electrical conductors connected to the contact elements of the respective section of a strip is a compact component of relatively small dimensions. For this reason, for example, it can be integrated into a cable harness consisting of a large number of conductors or lines without its dimensions being substantially increased.

Der Träger wird beispielsweise im kontinuierlichen Durchlauf in sogenannter Endlosfertigung aus einem breiteren Blech ausgestanzt. Dabei werden mit Vorteil die Kontaktelemente an zumindest einer Seitenkante des Trägers gleichzeitig mit ausgeformt. Die Kontaktelemente können beispielsweise und mit Vorteil Stifte oder Buchsen sein. Sie haben in Richtung des Trägers einen vorgebbaren Abstand voneinander und stehen zumindest an einer Seitenkante des Trägers seitwärts von demselben ab. Es ist auch möglich, an beiden Seitenkanten des Trägers solche Kontaktelemente auszubilden.The carrier is punched out, for example, in a continuous pass in so-called continuous production from a wider sheet metal. In this case, the contact elements are formed on at least one side edge of the carrier at the same time with advantage. The contact elements may be, for example, and advantageously pins or sockets. They have a predeterminable distance from one another in the direction of the carrier and protrude sideways from the same at least on one side edge of the carrier. It is also possible to form such contact elements on both side edges of the carrier.

Ein mit diesem Verfahren hergestellter Träger kann direkt einer weiteren Bearbeitung zugeführt werden. Er kann aber mit Vorteil auch auf eine Spule aufgewickelt werden, deren Wickelraum die Länge des Trägers bestimmt. Der Träger kann dann auf einfache Weise für eine weitere Bearbeitung an einen anderen Ort transportiert und dort von der Spule abgezogen werden.A carrier produced by this method can be directly fed to further processing. But it can also be wound up with advantage on a spool whose winding space determines the length of the wearer. The carrier can then be easily transported to another location for further processing and withdrawn there from the spool.

Zur weiteren Bearbeitung wird zur Herstellung der Anordnung von einem "endlosen" Träger ein Abschnitt mit vorgegebener Länge abgetrennt, der eine vorgegebene Anzahl von Kontaktelementen hat. Das kann direkt an den Stanzvorgang anschließend durchgeführt werden. Mit Vorteil wird dazu aber - wie erwähnt - der Träger von einer Spule abgezogen.For further processing, a section of predetermined length, which has a predetermined number of contact elements, is cut off from an "endless" carrier to produce the device. This can then be done directly to the punching process. Advantageously, however - as mentioned - the carrier deducted from a coil.

An die Kontaktelemente eines Abschnitts des Trägers werden Gegenkontakte angeschlossen, die jeweils am Ende eines elektrischen Leiters angebracht sind. Im oben geschilderten Sinne können die Gegenkontakte Buchsen oder Stifte sein. Sowohl das Abtrennen von Abschnitten vom Träger als auch das Anschließen der Gegenkontakte an die Kontaktelemente können vollautomatisch durchgeführt werden.To the contact elements of a portion of the carrier mating contacts are connected, which are each attached to the end of an electrical conductor. In the above sense, the mating contacts can be jacks or pins. Both the separation of sections from the carrier and the connection of the mating contacts to the contact elements can be carried out fully automatically.

Der Träger besteht aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Material. Das kann mit Vorteil Kupfer oder eine Kupferlegierung oder auch Messing sein. Seine Breite kann vorzugsweise zwischen 1,5 mm und 3,0 mm liegen. Der Träger kann mit Vorteil etwa 0,3 mm dick sein.The carrier consists of a highly electrically conductive material. This may advantageously be copper or a copper alloy or brass. Its width may preferably be between 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm. The carrier may advantageously be about 0.3 mm thick.

Das Verfahren nach der Erfindung und die mit demselben herstellbare Anordnung werden anhand der Zeichnungen in Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.The method according to the invention and the same producible arrangement will be explained with reference to the drawings in embodiments.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 und 2 in schematischer Darstellung einen mit dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung herstellbaren Träger in zwei unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen.
  • Fig. 3 eine Spule mit aufgewickeltem Träger.
  • Fig. 4 ebenfalls schematisch eine Anordnung nach der Erfindung.
Show it:
  • Fig. 1 and 2 in a schematic representation of a producible with the method according to the invention carrier in two different embodiments.
  • Fig. 3 a spool with wound up carrier.
  • Fig. 4 also schematically an arrangement according to the invention.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Teil eines streifenförmigen Trägers 1 dargestellt, der aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Metall besteht, vorzugsweise aus einer Kupferlegierung. Der Träger 1 ist in einem kontinuierlich arbeitenden Verfahren durch Stanzen aus einem breiteren Blech erzeugt. Bei dem Stanzvorgang sind mit Abstand zueinander, von einer Seitenkante 2 des Trägers 1 abstehende kurze Stege 3 mit erzeugt. Sie werden während des laufenden Verfahrens zu elektrischen Kontaktelementen geformt, und zwar entweder zu Stiften oder zu Buchsen. Die Kontaktelemente sind im fertigen Zustand so geformt, daß zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung Gegenkontakte aufgesteckt werden können, die entweder als Buchsen oder als Stifte ausgeführt sind.In Fig. 1 a part of a strip-shaped carrier 1 is shown, which consists of a highly electrically conductive metal, preferably of a copper alloy. The carrier 1 is produced in a continuous process by punching from a wider sheet. In the punching process are at a distance from each other, from a side edge 2 of the carrier 1 projecting short webs 3 generated. They are formed into electrical contact elements during the current process, either into pins or sockets. The contact elements are shaped in the finished state that mating contacts can be plugged for the preparation of an electrical connection, which are designed either as sockets or as pins.

Gemäß Fig. 2 können die Stege 3 auch an beiden Seitenkanten 2 und 4 des Trägers 1 ausgebildet werden, die ebenfalls als elektrische Kontaktelemente geformt werden können.According to Fig. 2 The webs 3 can also be formed on both side edges 2 and 4 of the carrier 1, which can also be formed as electrical contact elements.

Der entsprechend den Fig. 1 und 2 fertiggestellte "endlose" Träger 1 kann direkt einer weiteren Bearbeitung zugeführt werden. Er kann aber gemäß Fig. 3 zunächst auch auf eine Spule 5 aufgewickelt und an einen Ort transportiert werden, an dem eine weitere Bearbeitung durchgeführt werden kann. Der Wickelraum der Spule 5 bestimmt die Länge des auf dieselbe aufwickelbaren Träger 1. In Fig. 3 ist der Träger 1 der Einfachheit halber ohne Stege 3 dargestellt.The corresponding to the Fig. 1 and 2 finished "endless" carrier 1 can be fed directly to another processing. He can but according to Fig. 3 initially wound on a spool 5 and transported to a place where further processing can be performed. The winding space of the spool 5 determines the length of the carrier 1 which can be wound up on it Fig. 3 the carrier 1 is shown without webs 3 for the sake of simplicity.

Für eine weitere Bearbeitung des Trägers 1 zur Herstellung der Anordnung nach der Erfindung wird ein in Fig. 4 dargestellter Abschnitt 6 vom Träger 1 abgetrennt, der eine vorgegebene Länge hat. Diese Länge richtet sich nach der Anzahl von Kontaktelementen, die für eine fertige Anordnung benötigt werden.For a further processing of the carrier 1 for the preparation of the arrangement according to the invention, an in Fig. 4 shown section 6 separated from the carrier 1, the has a given length. This length depends on the number of contact elements that are needed for a finished arrangement.

Der Abschnitt 6 nach Fig. 4 hat vier an den Positionen von Stegen 3 befindliche Kontaktelemente, an welche Gegenkontakte angeschlossen werden, die jeweils am Ende eines elektrischen Leiters 7 bzw. 8 angebracht sind. Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem Stift und einer Buchse ist grundsätzlich bekannt. In Fig. 4 sind daher an den jeweiligen Verbindungsstellen nur Umrandungen 9 eingezeichnet.Section 6 after Fig. 4 has four located at the positions of webs 3 contact elements to which mating contacts are connected, which are respectively mounted at the end of an electrical conductor 7 and 8 respectively. The electrical connection between a pin and a socket is known in principle. In Fig. 4 are therefore located at the respective junctions only borders 9.

Die Anordnung nach Fig. 4 ist beispielsweise ein sogenannter, in einem Kraftfahrzeug einsetzbarer Potentialverteiler, mit dem das vom Leiter 8 geführte Potential auf die drei Leiter 7 aufgeteilt wird. Die Leiter 7 sind dann durch die elektrisch leitende Verbindung mit dem Abschnitt 6 des Trägers 1 über den Leiter 8 an ein gemeinsames Potential angeschlossen, beispielsweise an Masse.The arrangement after Fig. 4 is, for example, a so-called usable in a motor vehicle potential distributor, with which the guided by the conductor 8 potential is divided into the three conductors 7. The conductors 7 are then connected by the electrically conductive connection with the portion 6 of the carrier 1 via the conductor 8 to a common potential, for example to ground.
