Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anordnung mit einem elektrischen Kontaktelement, das mindestens zwei Stifte zum Anschluß an ein elektrisches Gerät aufweist und an welches mindestens zwei Flachleiter einer elektrischen Flachleiter-Bandleitung angeschlossen sind ( DE 36 41 706 C2 ).The invention relates to an arrangement with an electrical contact element, which has at least two pins for connection to an electrical device and to which at least two flat conductors of an electrical flat conductor ribbon cable are connected ( DE 36 41 706 C2 ).

Eine derartige Anordnung ist beispielsweise eine im Lenkrad eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnete Kassette, in der eine in Windungen verlaufende elektrische Flachleiter-Bandleitung - im Folgenden kurz als "FL-BL" bezeichnet - angebracht ist. Eine solche mit einem Stator und einem Rotor ausgerüstete Kassette dient beispielweise der kontaktlosen Übertragung von elektrischem Strom und von Daten innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs. Entsprechende, mit Strom zu versorgende elektrische Verbraucher sind beispielsweise der Auslöser für einen Airbag oder eine Lenkradbeheizung. Die zwischen Stator und Rotor angeordnete, in Windungen verlaufende FL-BL kann dabei entsprechend der Unruh einer Uhr oder mit einer Umkehrstelle mit gegenläufiger Wickelrichtung gewickelt sein. Die FL-BL ist mit einem Ende am Stator der Kassette festgelegt und mit ihrem anderen Ende am Rotor derselben. Die Flachleiter der FL-BL müssen an beiden Enden mit weiterführenden Leitungen verbunden werden. Dazu werden geeignete Kontaktelemente benötigt.Such an arrangement is, for example, a cartridge arranged in the steering wheel of a motor vehicle, in which an electrical flat conductor ribbon cable running in turns - referred to below as "FL-BL" for short - is attached. Such a cassette equipped with a stator and a rotor serves, for example, for the contactless transmission of electric current and data within the motor vehicle. Corresponding, to be supplied with electricity electrical consumers are, for example, the trigger for an airbag or a steering wheel heating. The arranged between the stator and rotor, in turns FL-BL can be wound according to the balance of a clock or with a reversal point with opposite winding direction. The FL-BL is fixed at one end to the stator of the cassette and at its other end to the rotor thereof. The flat conductors of the FL-BL must be connected at both ends to continuative lines. For this purpose, suitable contact elements are needed.

Bei der Anordnung nach der eingangs erwähnten DE 36 41 706 C2 sind die Enden der FL-BL so gefaltet, dass sie unter einem Winkel von 90° von der FL-BL abstehen. Die Endbereiche der FL-BL sind mit den gefalteten Stellen in einen durch Spritzen erzeugten Isolierkörper eingebettet und die Isolierkörper sind mit den eingebetteten Enden der FL-BL schwenkbar in einem die FL-BL aufnehmenden Gehäuse angeordnet. Über den gefalteten Enden der FL-BL ist jeweils ein vorgefertigter, etwa L-förmiger Formkörper aus einem mechanisch stabilen Isoliermaterial mit flachen Wandungen und U-förmigem Querschnitt angebracht, der zumindest teilweise von dem Isolierkörper umgeben ist. An beiden Enden der FL-BL sind deren Flachleiter also um 90° gebogen bzw. geknickt. Zum mechanischen Schutz der dadurch entstandenen, mechanisch empfindlichen Knickbereiche sind die L-förmigen Formkörper vorgesehen. An den Enden der Flachleiter angebrachte Kontaktelemente stehen unter einem Winkel von 90° von der FL-BL ab.In the arrangement according to the above-mentioned DE 36 41 706 C2 the ends of the FL-BL are folded so that they protrude from the FL-BL at a 90 ° angle. The end portions of the FL-BL are embedded with the folded locations in a syringe-formed insulator and the insulators are pivotally mounted with the embedded ends of the FL-BL in a housing housing the FL-BL. Above the folded ends of the FL-BL is in each case a prefabricated, approximately L-shaped molded body made of a mechanically stable insulating material with flat walls and U-shaped cross-section attached, which is at least partially surrounded by the insulating body. At both ends of the FL-BL, their flat conductors are therefore bent or bent by 90 °. For mechanical protection of the resulting, mechanically sensitive kink areas, the L-shaped moldings are provided. At the ends of the Flat conductor mounted contact elements are at an angle of 90 ° from the FL-BL.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs beschriebene Anordnung so zu gestalten, dass an den Flachleitern der FL-BL elektrische Kontaktelemente direkt angeschlossen werden können, ohne die Flachleiter zu verformen.The invention has for its object to make the arrangement described above so that can be connected directly to the flat conductors of the FL-BL electrical contact elements without deforming the flat conductor.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst,

  • dass jeder der Stifte einteilig durch eine ebene, zwei parallel zueinander liegende Flachseiten aufweisende Platte erweitert ist,
  • dass die Platten der beiden Stifte in der gleichen Ebene liegend nebeneinander und durch einen Luftspalt voneinander getrennt so angeordnet sind, dass die Stifte mit Abstand parallel zueinander verlaufen, und
  • dass die Platten unter Freilassung der Stifte in einen durch Spritzgießen hergestellten Isolierkörper eingebettet sind, der den Luftspalt zwischen den Platten ausfüllt und der zumindest auf einer Flachseite der Platten dieselben teilweise freilassende Öffnungen aufweist, deren lichte Abmessungen auf zumindest einer Seite des Isolierkörpers der Breite von mit den Platten zu verbindenden Enden der Flachleiter entsprechen.
This object is achieved according to the invention characterized
  • in that each of the pins is widened in one piece by a flat plate having two parallel flat sides,
  • that the plates of the two pins in the same plane lying side by side and separated by an air gap are arranged so that the pins are spaced parallel to each other, and
  • that the plates are embedded, leaving the pins in an injection-molded insulator filling the air gap between the plates and at least on a flat side of the plates having the same partially exposed openings whose clear dimensions on at least one side of the insulator of the width of Correspond to the plates to be connected ends of the flat conductor.

In der folgenden Beschreibung wird die Anordnung für den Einsatz einer mit zwei Flachleitern ausgerüsteten FL-BL bzw. für zwei FL-BLn mit jeweils einem Flachleiter erläutert, stellvertretend auch für eine Anordnung mit mehr als zwei Flachleitern und entsprechend erweitertem Kontaktelement.In the following description, the arrangement for the use of equipped with two flat conductors FL-BL and for two FL-BLn is explained, each with a flat conductor, also representative of an arrangement with more than two flat conductors and correspondingly extended contact element.

An ein Kontaktelement dieser Anordnung können die beiden Flachleiter einer FL-BL bzw. zwei Flachleiter mit geradlinigem Verlauf angeschlossen werden. Sie müssen nur am Ende der FL-BL auf einer ausreichenden Länge von Isoliermaterial befreit werden. Danach können die Flachleiter auf die in den Öffnungen des Isolierkörpers freiliegenden Platten der beiden Stifte aufgelegt und mit denselben elektrisch leitend verbunden, beispielsweise verschweißt werden. Dabei ist es möglich, die beiden Flachleiter so zu positionieren, dass sie in Richtung der Stifte des Kontaktelements verlaufen. Die Stifte stellen dann Verlängerungen der Flachleiter dar. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Flachleiter auf dem Kontaktelement so zu positionieren, dass sie um 90° versetzt zu den Stiften verlaufen. Die Stifte stehen dann unter einem Winkel von 90° vom Ende einer FL-BL ab. Das Kontaktelement ist also für beide Varianten des Anschlusses an die Flachleiter einer FL-BL ohne jede Änderung verwendbar. Von besonderem Vorteil ist dabei, dass die Flachleiter und insbesondere deren Enden für den Anschluß an das Kontaktelement nicht verformt, insbesondere nicht geknickt werden müssen.To a contact element of this arrangement, the two flat conductors of a FL-BL or two flat conductors can be connected with a straight course. They only need to be freed at the end of the FL-BL to a sufficient length of insulating material. Thereafter, the flat conductors can be placed on the exposed in the openings of the insulating body plates of the two pins and connected to the same electrically conductive, for example, welded. It is possible to position the two flat conductors so that they extend in the direction of the pins of the contact element. The pins then represent extensions of the leads. It is, however possible to position the leads on the contact element so that they are offset by 90 ° to the pins. The pins then terminate at an angle of 90 ° from the end of a FL-BL. The contact element is therefore usable for both variants of the connection to the flat conductor of a FL-BL without any change. Of particular advantage is that the flat conductors and in particular their ends are not deformed for connection to the contact element, in particular must not be kinked.

Die Platten der beiden Stifte haben mit Vorteil eine unterschiedliche geometrische Form. Sie sind aber so gestaltet, dass sie in einer Ebene nebeneinander angeordnet werden können und dann gegeneinander isoliert eine durchgehende Fläche bilden.The plates of the two pins advantageously have a different geometric shape. But they are designed so that they can be arranged in a plane next to each other and then isolated against each other form a continuous surface.

Für den Anschluß der Flachleiter an die Platten des Kontaktelements werden nur drei mit Vorteil rechteckige Öffnungen im Isolierkörper desselben benötigt, weil eine der Öffnungen für beide der im Vorangehenden geschilderten Anschlußmöglichkeiten verwendet werden kann. Es bleibt dadurch ein Bereich des Isolierkörpers ohne Öffnung. In diesem Bereich können nach außen offene Schlitze angebracht sein, die zu einer der Platten reichen und durch welche jeweils ein Ende eines der Flachleiter hindurchgeführt werden kann.For the connection of the flat conductor to the plates of the contact element only three advantageously rectangular openings in the same insulating body needed because one of the openings for both of the above-described connection options can be used. It remains characterized a region of the insulator without opening. In this area, outwardly open slots may be attached, which extend to one of the plates and through which one end of each of the flat conductors can be passed.

In Fig. 1 sind zwei Stifte 1 und 2 eines elektrischen Kontaktelements K (Fig. 2) dargestellt, die jeder eine in Form einer Platte 3 bzw. 4 ausgeführten Erweiterung haben. Stifte 1 und 2 und Platten 3 und 4 bestehen mit Vorteil aus Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung. Die beiden Platten 3 und 4 haben zwei ebene, parallel zueinander verlaufende Flachseiten. Sie haben entsprechend Fig. 1 unterschiedliche geometrische Formen, die aber so zusammen passen, dass die beiden Platten 3 und 4 zu einer zusammenhängenden Fläche zusammengefügt werden können. In diesem Sinne sind die beiden Platten 3 und 4 gemäß Fig. 1 durch einen Luftspalt 5 voneinander getrennt, in einer Ebene nebeneinander so angeordnet, dass die Stifte 1 und 2 parallel zueinander verlaufen. Die Stifte 1 und 2 können entsprechend der zeichnerischen Darstellung in der Ebene der Platten 3 und 4 liegend jeweils von einer derselben abstehen. Sie können aber an den Platten 3 und 4 auch abgekröpft angebracht sein.In Fig. 1 are two pins 1 and 2 of an electrical contact element K ( Fig. 2 ), each having an extension made in the form of a plate 3 or 4, respectively. Pins 1 and 2 and plates 3 and 4 are advantageously made of copper or a copper alloy. The two plates 3 and 4 have two flat, mutually parallel flat sides. You have accordingly Fig. 1 different geometric shapes, but fit together so that the two plates 3 and 4 can be joined together to form a continuous surface. In this sense, the two plates 3 and 4 according to Fig. 1 separated by an air gap 5, arranged side by side in a plane so that the pins 1 and 2 are parallel to each other. The pins 1 and 2 can according to the graphic representation in the plane of the plates 3 and 4, each projecting from one of them. But you can also be mounted bent on the plates 3 and 4.

Im fertigen Kontaktelement K sind die Platten 3 und 4 in einen durch Spritzgießen hergestellten Isolierkörper 6 eingebettet. Der Isolierkörper 6 besteht beispielsweise aus Polybuthylenterephalat. Die Stifte 1 und 2 sind auf einer wesentlichen Länge nicht vom Material des Isolierkörpers 6 umschlossen. Auf einer Flachseite der Platten 3 und 4 weist der Isolierkörper 6 Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9 auf, in denen die Platten 3 und 4 freigelassen sind. Sie stehen in den mit Vorteil rechteckig ausgeführten Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9 zum elektrisch leitenden Anschluß beispielsweise von Flachleitern einer FL-BL zur Verfügung. Das Material des Isolierkörpers 6 dringt beim Spritzvorgang in den Luftspalt 5 ein, so dass die beiden Platten 3 und 4 gegeneinander isoliert sind.In the finished contact element K, the plates 3 and 4 are embedded in an insulating body 6 produced by injection molding. The insulating body 6 consists for example of polybutylene terephthalate. The pins 1 and 2 are not enclosed on a substantial length of the material of the insulating body 6. On a flat side of the plates 3 and 4, the insulator 6 openings 7, 8 and 9, in which the plates 3 and 4 are released. They are in the advantageously rectangular openings 7, 8 and 9 for electrically conductive connection, for example, flat conductors of a FL-BL available. The material of the insulating body 6 penetrates during the injection process in the air gap 5, so that the two plates 3 and 4 are insulated from each other.

Die beiden Flachleiter 10 und 11 einer FL-BL 12, von der in Fig. 5 nur ein Ende schematisch dargestellt ist, sind parallel und mit Abstand zueinander in eine Isolierung 13 eingebettet. Sie können auf zwei unterschiedliche Arten an die Platten 3 und 4 des Kontaktelements K angeschlossen werden, und zwar wie folgt:The two flat conductors 10 and 11 of a FL-BL 12, from the in Fig. 5 only one end is shown schematically, are parallel and spaced apart in an insulation 13 embedded. They can be connected to the plates 3 and 4 of the contact element K in two different ways, as follows:

Die Flachleiter 10 und 11 sollen in Richtung der Stifte 1 und 2 verlaufen. Dazu werden der Flachleiter 10 in der Öffnung 7 auf die Platte 3 und der Flachleiter 11 in der Öffnung 9 auf die Platte 4 aufgelegt. Das ist durch in Fig. 3 eingezeichnete Pfeile angedeutet, die entsprechend den Bezugszahlen der Flachleiter gekennzeichnet sind. Die beiden Flachleiter 10 und 11 werden dann mit der jeweiligen Platte 3 bzw. 4 elektrisch leitend verbunden, mit Vorteil beispielsweise verschweißt. Um eine störungsfreie Verschweißung der Platten 3 und 4 mit den Flachleitern 10 und 11 sicherzustellen, sind mit Vorteil auf der den rechteckigen Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9 gegenüberliegenden Flachseite des Isolierkörpers 6 ebenfalls die Platten 3 und 4 freilassende Öffnungen vorgesehen, und zwar in Höhe der rechteckigen Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9. Elektroden einer Schweißeinrichtung können dann einerseits an die Platten 3 und 4 in den erwähnten Öffnungen und andererseits an die auf den rechteckigen Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9 aufliegenden Flachleiter angelegt werden.The flat conductors 10 and 11 are intended to extend in the direction of the pins 1 and 2. For this purpose, the flat conductor 10 are placed in the opening 7 on the plate 3 and the flat conductor 11 in the opening 9 on the plate 4. That's through in Fig. 3 indicated arrows indicated, which are identified according to the reference numbers of the flat conductor. The two flat conductors 10 and 11 are then electrically conductive with the respective plate 3 and 4 respectively connected, advantageously welded for example. In order to ensure a trouble-free welding of the plates 3 and 4 with the flat conductors 10 and 11, the plates 3 and 4 exposed openings are also provided with advantage on the rectangular openings 7, 8 and 9 opposite flat side of the insulator 6, in height of Rectangular openings 7, 8 and 9. Electrodes of a welding device can then be applied on the one hand to the plates 3 and 4 in the mentioned openings and on the other hand to the resting on the rectangular openings 7, 8 and 9 flat conductor.

Zum Zuführen des Flachleiters 10 zur Öffnung 7 des Kontaktelements K kann derselbe durch einen Schlitz 14 gesteckt werden, der im Isolierkörper 6 angebracht ist. Der Schlitz 14 ist nach außen und im Bereich der Öffnung 7 bis zur Platte 3 offen.For supplying the flat conductor 10 to the opening 7 of the contact element K, the same can be inserted through a slot 14 which is mounted in the insulating body 6. The slot 14 is open to the outside and in the region of the opening 7 to the plate 3.

In der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 4 sollen die Flachleiter 10 und 11 um 90° versetzt zur Richtung der Stifte 1 und 2 verlaufen. Dazu wird analog zur Beschreibung zu Fig. 3 der Flachleiter 10 in der Öffnung 9 auf die Platte 4 und der Flachleiter 11 in der Öffnung 8 auf die Platte 3 gelegt. Flachleiter und Platten werden dann wieder vorzugsweise miteinander verschweißt.In the embodiment according to Fig. 4 should the flat conductors 10 and 11 offset by 90 ° to the direction of the pins 1 and 2. This is analogous to the description to Fig. 3 the flat conductor 10 is placed in the opening 9 on the plate 4 and the flat conductor 11 in the opening 8 on the plate 3. Flat conductors and plates are then again preferably welded together.

Der Flachleiter 11 kann hier analog zu Fig. 3 wieder durch einen Schlitz 15 im Isolierkörper 6 geschoben werden, der nach außen und im Bereich der Öffnung 8 bis zur Platte 3 offen ist. Auch hier ist die Positionierung der Flachleiter 10 und 11 wieder durch entsprechend gekennzeichnete Pfeile angedeutet.The flat conductor 11 can be analogous to Fig. 3 be pushed back through a slot 15 in the insulating body 6, which is open to the outside and in the region of the opening 8 to the plate 3. Again, the positioning of the flat conductor 10 and 11 is again indicated by correspondingly marked arrows.

Das Kontaktelement K kann analog zu dem für die FL-BL 12 geschilderten Vorgehen auch für eine Leitung eingesetzt werden, die aus zwei relativ breiten, jeweils eine eigene Leitung (Hin- und Rückleitung) darstellenden Flachleitern 16 und 17 besteht. Die beiden Flachleiter 16 und 17 sind in Fig. 6 getrennt voneinander dargestellt. Sie liegen in einer fertigen FL-BL mit einer ausreichenden Länge gegeneinander isoliert mit ihren Flachseiten aufeinander. Die beiden Flachleiter 16 und 17 haben an ihren Enden Laschen 18 bzw. 19, die durch einen Stanzvorgang entstanden sind und etwa halb so breit wie die Flachleiter 16 und 17 sind. Die Laschen 18 und 19 werden zur Festlegung der Leitung, welche die beiden aufeinander liegenden Flachleiter 16 und 17 enthält, analog zu dem für die FL-BL 12 nach Fig. 5 in den Öffnungen 7, 8 und 9 mit den Platten 3 und 4 elektrisch leitend verbunden.The contact element K can analogously to the procedure described for the FL-BL 12 also be used for a line consisting of two relatively wide, each having its own line (outgoing and return line) performing flat conductors 16 and 17. The two flat conductors 16 and 17 are in Fig. 6 shown separated from each other. They lie in a finished FL-BL with a sufficient length isolated from each other with their flat sides on each other. The two flat conductors 16 and 17 have at their ends tabs 18 and 19, which are formed by a punching operation and about half as wide as the flat conductors 16 and 17. The tabs 18 and 19 are for fixing the line, which contains the two superposed flat conductors 16 and 17, analogous to that for the FL-BL 12 after Fig. 5 in the openings 7, 8 and 9 electrically connected to the plates 3 and 4.

In Fig. 7 sind die beiden Enden einer aus den Flachleitern 16 und 17 bestehenden FL-BL dargestellt, an denen jeweils ein Kontaktelement K nach Fig. 2 angeordnet ist, und zwar am Ende E1 mit in Leitungsrichtung weisenden Stiften 1 und 2 sowie am Ende E2 quer dazu mit um 90° abstehenden Stiften 1 und 2.In Fig. 7 are the two ends of an existing of the flat conductors 16 and 17 FL-BL shown, at each of which a contact element K after Fig. 2 is arranged, and at the end E1 with pointing in the direction of pins 1 and 2 and at the end E2 transverse thereto with protruding by 90 ° pins 1 and 2.
