Definitions

  • the invention relates to a perforated disc and their use as connecting plates between overlapping, interconnected busbars of different materials.
  • busbars In practice, applications are recorded, according to which bus bars are to be connected together in order to be able to transport electricity over these busbars. For cost reasons, it may happen that instead of the more conductive material copper or a copper alloy, the less conductive and less expensive material aluminum or an aluminum alloy is used.
  • a disadvantage is the use of busbars made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy that oxidizes aluminum under the influence of ambient air. An aluminum oxide layer forms on the surface of a busbar made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, with the consequence that the contact resistance in the power line between the busbars of different materials increases.
  • An aluminum or aluminum alloy rail having an oxide layer must be pretreated, for example mechanically with a suitable brush, to remove the oxide layer. Subsequently, it is necessary to To lubricate busbar, so that an oxygen-tight connection is formed. Such a procedure is quite complex and is performed in practice only inadequately. The consequence is that in interconnected busbars due to the oxide layer of a bus bar made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, the contact resistance increases and the connection fails in practice.
  • perforated disks between overlapping, interconnected busbars of different materials in particular the connection of an aluminum busbar or an aluminum alloy with a busbar made of copper or a copper alloy
  • a perforated disc the On opposite disc sides has major surfaces, wherein the perforated disc in the region of one, the first main surface made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and in the region of the other, the second main surface made of copper or a copper alloy.
  • the main surfaces are arranged parallel to one another and the perforated disks each have a circular outer contour and a circular inner contour.
  • the perforated discs are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, which is understood to mean that they consist almost entirely thereof, because a relatively thin layer of copper or a copper alloy is applied to the base body made of aluminum or aluminum alloy.
  • the aluminum side of the perforated disc comes into contact with the aluminum busbar when connecting the two busbars, the copper side of the perforated disc in contact with the copper busbar.
  • Such a perforated disc can, for example, in a bar for NH fuses, as for example from the EP 2 546 856 A1 has become known, find use.
  • busbars of the bar which consist of copper or a copper alloy, to connect to busbars of a busbar system with interposition of perforated discs.
  • the busbars are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a perforated disc, which ensures a particularly good electrical connection between two busbars of different busbar materials when arranged between them.
  • Object of the present invention is also to provide a particular use of such a perforated disc.
  • the perforated disc according to the invention consists of metal. It has major surfaces on remote disc sides. In the area of the one, first main surface, the perforated disc consists of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. In the area of the other, second main surface, the perforated disc consists of copper or a copper alloy. It is essential that the perforated disc has elevations in the region of the disk surface having the first main surface which protrude beyond the first main surface of the perforated disk on this side of the disk.
  • the perforated disc according to the invention Due to the design of the perforated disc according to the invention, it is neither necessary to grease these to prevent an oxide layer in order to obtain the oxygen-tightness, nor is it necessary to remove a possibly formed oxide layer, for example by means of a brush. It is irrelevant whether the perforated disk on its aluminum side and / or cooperating with this aluminum side aluminum rail have each applied an oxide layer. If such an aluminum oxide layer is present, it is penetrated by the elevations of the perforated disc during pressing of the perforated disc between the two rails. Under the pressure exerted by the two rails on the perforated disc, the perforated disc with its elevations penetrates slightly into the associated aluminum rail, so that a conductive connection between the perforated disc and the aluminum rail is ensured.
  • a possible oxide layer located on the aluminum side of the perforated disk on its elevations is removed during the joining of the two rails due to the action of the aluminum rail.
  • a possible oxide layer located on the aluminum rail is penetrated by the elevations of the perforated disk when connecting the rails.
  • the perforated disc consists almost entirely of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Copper or a copper alloy is thus present only in the region of a layer thickness of the perforated disc. Accordingly, it is considered advantageous if the perforated disc has a layer of copper or a copper alloy in the region of the second main surface.
  • the perforated disc has a layer of copper or a copper alloy produced by rolling or spraying or deposition.
  • the perforated disc Due to this design and material properties of the perforated disc, namely to the effect that it consists essentially of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and copper or a copper alloy is applied only in a thin layer, resulting in very low material costs for the perforated disc. In this case, it is nevertheless ensured that the aluminum side of the perforated disk comes into contact with the copper rail in contact with the aluminum rail and the copper side of the perforated disk.
  • the elevations are embodied as shapes, wherein the perforated disk has recesses produced on the disk surface having the second main surface during stamping and on the disk side having the first main surface which has elevations or occurrences produced during stamping.
  • the perforated disc can be produced particularly easily.
  • the perforated disk has an abrupt increase in height from the first main surface to the respective increase.
  • the elevations are arranged in particular radially extending. As a result, an elevation pattern can be produced which, via an advantageous distribution in the region of the associated main surface of the perforated disk, ensures a favorable pressure distribution between perforated disk and associated aluminum rail when connecting the two rails.
  • the elevations are distributed uniformly over a full circle.
  • four to six, preferably five elevations are arranged.
  • This small number of ridges ensures a relatively high surface pressure between the ridges and the aluminum rail, so that not only the penetration of the oxide layer is ensured by the increases, but also a certain deformation of the aluminum rail under the effect of the elevations, which press slightly into the aluminum rail.
  • the perforated disc is preferably designed such that it has a circular or angular outer contour and / or an inner contour which is circular at least over partial sections.
  • an angular outer contour this is preferably quadrangular, in particular square.
  • the at least over sections of circular inner contour is achieved that a defined guidance of the perforated disc in a rail connecting fasteners is possible. Because of this guide, the perforated disc is kept largely captive in the fastener. This simplifies the installation of busbars, fasteners and perforated disc.
  • the perforated disc has a circular inner contour with a plurality of inwardly curved portions, in particular has three inwardly curved portions.
  • the respective increase preferably extends essentially over the radial extent of the perforated disc. This is understood to mean the radial extent between its outer contour and its inner contour. In particular, the respective increase extends over a length of more than 50% of the radial extent of the perforated disc between the outer contour and the inner contour.
  • the respective increase expediently has a greater length-width ratio, in particular in the case of lengthwise alignment of the increase in the radial direction of the perforated disk.
  • the length-width ratio is preferably 5 to 8.
  • the object is further achieved by a particular use of the perforated disc according to the invention and described in further developments.
  • This is used as a connecting plate between overlapping, interconnected busbars of different materials.
  • a connecting means passes through holes in the busbars and connects the busbars firmly together.
  • the perforated rail contacts one of the busbars made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the perforated disk contacts the other copper busbar or a copper alloy busbar in the region of the side facing away from the elevations.
  • the perforated disc is used in conjunction with a connecting means which has a screw and a nut.
  • a connecting means which has a screw and a nut.
  • This connecting agent may well be a commercially available product. In this regard, it is therefore to pay attention to any special choice of material.
  • the perforated disc 1 has major surfaces 2 and 3 on opposite sides of the disc. These are arranged parallel to each other.
  • the perforated disc 1 passes through a hole 4.
  • the perforated disc 1 has a circular outer contour 5 and a circular inner contour 6 over partial sections. This inner contour 6 is provided with three inwardly curved portions 7.
  • the perforated disc 1 in the region of the main surface 2 made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • the perforated disc 1 is made of copper or a copper alloy.
  • the perforated disk 1 has five elevations 8 in the region of the disk surface having the main surface 2. These are over the main surface 2 on this side of the disk over.
  • the elevations 8 are formed as characteristics.
  • These elevations 8 are arranged radially. They are evenly distributed over the full circle of the perforated disc 1, thus positioned at an angle of 72 °.
  • the respective elevation 8 extends essentially over the radial extent of the perforated disc 1. It extends in particular over a length of more than 50% of the radial extent of the perforated disc between outer contour 5 and inner contour 6.
  • the respective elevation 8 has a large length-to-width ratio, for example from 5 to 8, with longitudinal alignment of the elevation 8 in the radial direction of the perforated disc.
  • the respective elevation 8 is due to the formation by embossing as a rod-shaped projection with respect to the main surface 2.
  • the perforated disc 1 thus has an abrupt jump in the transition from the main surface 2 to the respective elevation 8.
  • the respective increase is formed as a straight rod-shaped projection with respect to the main surface 2.
  • the perforated disc has, for example, a diameter of 30 mm, with a thickness of 2 mm between the two main surfaces 2, 3.
  • the height of the respective increase is, for example, 0.5 mm.
  • Fig. 2 In the sectional view according to Fig. 2 is the region of the perforated disc 1, which consists of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, designated by the reference numeral 10 and the region of the coating made of copper or copper alloy by the reference numeral 11.
  • Fig. 6 to 9 illustrate the connection of two bus bars 12, 13 using a fastening means 14 in the arrangement of the perforated disc 1 between the two bus bars 12, 13th
