Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontakthülse für einen Anschluss wenigstens einer Litzenleitung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a contact sleeve for connecting at least one stranded wire with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Derartige Crimpkontakte gehen beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2013 203 796 A1 hervor. Darüber hinaus sind Crimpkontakte aus der WO 2009/119514 A1 bekannt geworden.Such crimp contacts go, for example, from DE 10 2013 203 796 A1 emerged. In addition, crimp contacts are from the WO 2009/119514 A1 known.

Elektrische Verbindungs- und Anschlussklemmen gehen auch beispielsweise aus der DE 36 34 099 C2 , der JP 2003 249 284 A oder der WO 2009/096590 A1 hervor.Electrical connection and connection terminals also go, for example, from the DE 36 34 099 C2 , of the JP 2003 249 284 A or the WO 2009/096590 A1 emerged.

Insbesondere aus der DE 10 2013 203 796 A1 geht eine elektrische Crimpkontaktvorrichtung mit pfeilförmig verlaufenden Rillen hervor, die als Fixiereinrichtung für die zu kontaktierenden Kabelenden dienen.In particular from the DE 10 2013 203 796 A1 shows an electrical crimp contact device with arrow-shaped grooves which serve as a fixing device for the cable ends to be contacted.

Aus der JP 2009 245697 A ist ein Crimpanschluss bekannt geworden mit pfeilartig zu einer Mittellinie auf beiden Crimpflügeln geradlinig verlaufenden Rillen.From the JP 2009 245697 A a crimp connection has become known with grooves running in a straight line to a center line on both crimping wings.

Die US 2011/0028054 A1 offenbart einen Crimpanschluss mit sowohl linear als auch gekrümmt verlaufenden linienförmigen Markierungen, die vollständig auf den Crimpflügeln angeordnet sind.The US 2011/0028054 A1 discloses a crimp terminal with both linear and curved line-shaped markings which are arranged entirely on the crimping wings.

Die linienförmigen Markierungen können durch Vertiefungen realisiert werden.The line-shaped markings can be realized by indentations.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Die erfindungsgemäße Kontakthülse für den Anschluss wenigstens einer Litzenleitung mit pfeilartig zu der Mittellinie auf beiden Crimpflügeln verlaufenden Rillen, die gekrümmt mit kontinuierlicher abnehmender Steigung jeweils von der Mittellinie beginnend nach außen verlaufen, weist den Vorteil einer besonders festen und gasdichten Kontaktierung von Litzenleitungen auf. Durch die schwingenartig gekrümmt verlaufenden Rillen werden die Litzen noch wesentlich besser verpresst als bei nicht gekrümmten Rillen. Dies haben umfängliche Untersuchungen der Anmelderin ergeben. Bevorzugt beginnen die Rillen an der Mittellinie und erstrecken sich über die Crimpflügel bis zu einem vorgegebenen Abstand vom Ende der Crimpflügel oder sogar bis zum Ende der Crimpflügel selbst.The contact sleeve according to the invention for the connection of at least one stranded wire with arrow-like grooves to the center line on both crimping wings, which are curved with a continuously decreasing slope and extend outwards from the center line, has the advantage of a particularly firm and gas-tight contacting of stranded cables. Due to the curved grooves, the strands are pressed together much better than with non-curved grooves. Extensive investigations by the applicant have shown this. The grooves preferably begin at the center line and extend over the crimping wings up to a predetermined distance from the end of the crimping wings or even up to the end of the crimping wings themselves.

Die Rillen verlaufen gewissermaßen nach Art von Vogelschwingen schwingenförmig. Eine Tangente an die Rillen an der Mittellinie weist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung einen Winkel von etwa 7 ± 2° mit einer Linie senkrecht zur Mittellinie auf und die Steigung der Tangente nimmt zum Rand der Rillen hin ab, bis die Tangente einen Endwinkel von etwa 2 ± 1° mit einer Linie senkrecht zur Mittellinie einschließt. Im Bereich der Mittellinie, wo die Crimpflügel während des Crimpens nur einen geringen Weg zurücklegen, ist damit eine größere Steigung der Rillen gegeben als am äußeren Rand der Crimpflügel, die während des Crimpvorgangs einen größeren Weg zurücklegen.The grooves run in the shape of a wing like a bird's wing. According to an advantageous embodiment, a tangent to the grooves on the center line has an angle of approximately 7 ± 2 ° with a line perpendicular to the center line and the slope of the tangent decreases towards the edge of the grooves until the tangent has an end angle of approximately 2 ± 1 ° with a line perpendicular to the center line. In the area of the center line, where the crimping wings only cover a short distance during crimping, there is a greater slope of the grooves than at the outer edge of the crimping wings, which cover a greater distance during the crimping process.

Rein prinzipiell könnten die Rillen asymmetrisch zur Mittellinie ausgestaltet sein, das heißt die Rillen auf der einen Seite können anders verlaufen als die Rillen auf der anderen Seite. Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die Rillen zur Mittellinie symmetrisch verlaufen.In principle, the grooves could be designed asymmetrically to the center line, that is, the grooves on one side can run differently than the grooves on the other side. A particularly preferred embodiment provides that the grooves run symmetrically to the center line.

Die Ausbildung der Rillen kann auf die unterschiedlichste Art und Weise geschehen. Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Rillen rillenartige Vertiefungen sind, welche auf den der Litzenleitung zugewandten Seiten des Aufnahmebereichs und der Crimpflügel angeordnet sind.The formation of the grooves can be done in the most varied of ways. An advantageous embodiment provides that the grooves are groove-like depressions which are arranged on the sides of the receiving area and the crimping wing facing the stranded wire.

Ausführungsformen der ErfindungEmbodiments of the invention

Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Kontakthülse weist einen Kontaktcrimpbereich 10 auf, welcher einer Verpressung von Litzen 10b mit Crimpflügeln 10a dient, und einen Isolationscrimpbereich 11 zur Befestigung des Kontaktcrimpbereichs 10 an einer Isolierung einer Litzenleitung 12. Der Kontaktcrimpbereich 10 weist eine Aufnahmefläche 12a auf. Er dient zusammen mit den Crimpflügeln 10a auf an sich bekannte Weise der Verpressung der Litzen 10b. An den Kontaktcrimpbereich 10 anschließend ist der eine Isolierung der Litzenleitung 12 umgreifende Isolationscrimpbereich 11 angeordnet. Der Isolationscrimpbereich 11 umgreift und klemmt die Litzenleitung 12 und dient so der Befestigung der Litzenleitung 12 und deren Zugentlastung.One in Fig. 1 The contact sleeve shown has a contact crimping area 10, which is used to crimp strands 10b with crimping wings 10a, and an insulation crimping area 11 for fastening the contact crimping area 10 to an insulation of a stranded wire 12. The contact crimping area 10 has a receiving surface 12a. Together with the crimping wings 10a, it is used to press the strands 10b in a manner known per se. The insulation crimping area 11 encompassing an insulation of the stranded wire 12 is then arranged on the contact crimping area 10. The insulation crimping area 11 engages around and clamps the stranded wire 12 and thus serves to fasten the stranded wire 12 and its strain relief.

Eine in Fig. 2 dargestellte Aufsicht auf einen Kontaktcrimpbereich 15, der zwei Crimpflügel 15a, 15b aufweist, umfasst symmetrisch zu einer Mittellinie 14 angeordnete Rillen 13, die gekrümmt schwingenförmig nach Art von Vogelschwingen verlaufen. Die Krümmung ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass eine Tangente an die Rillen im Bereich der Mittellinie 14 einen Winkel αs mit einer Linie senkrecht zu der Mittellinie 14 einschließt. Die Steigung nimmt zum äußeren Rand der Crimpflügel 15a, 15b stetig ab, sodass die Tangente an die Rillen im äußeren Bereich einen Winkel αE mit einer Linie senkrecht zur Mittellinie 14 einschließt.One in Fig. 2 The top view shown on a contact crimping area 15, which has two crimping wings 15a, 15b, comprises grooves 13 which are arranged symmetrically to a center line 14 and which are curved, wing-shaped, in the manner of bird wings. The curvature is designed in such a way that a tangent to the grooves in the region of the center line 14 encloses an angle α s with a line perpendicular to the center line 14. The slope decreases steadily towards the outer edge of the crimping wings 15a, 15b, so that the tangent to the grooves in the outer area encloses an angle α E with a line perpendicular to the center line 14.

Untersuchungen der Anmelderin haben ergeben, dass der Winkel αs bevorzugt etwa 7 ± 2° beträgt, wohingegen der Winkel αE etwa 2 ± 1° beträgt.Investigations by the applicant have shown that the angle α s is preferably approximately 7 ± 2 °, whereas the angle α E is approximately 2 ± 1 °.

Durch diese gekrümmt verlaufende Form der Rillen mit einer Krümmung, die kontinuierlich von der Mittellinie 14 nach außen in Richtung des Randes der Crimpflügel 15a, 15b abnimmt, wird eine optimale Verpressung von Litzen in den Crimpflügeln 15a, 15 b erreicht. Dabei trägt die gekrümmt verlaufende Anordnung der Rillen dem Umstand Rechnung, dass während des Crimpens im Bereich der Mittellinie 14 die Crimpflügel 15a, 15b nur einen kleinen Weg zurücklegen, wohingegen sie im äußeren Bereich der Crimpflügel 15a, 15b einen großen Weg zurücklegen. Diesem kleineren Weg im Bereich der Mittellinie 14 wird durch die größere Steigung der Rillen Rechnung getragen, wohingegen dem größeren zurückgelegten Weg während des Crimpens im äußeren Bereich der Crimpflügel 15a, 15b durch die kleinere Steigung Rechnung getragen wird. Die Crimpung mit Hilfe dieser gekrümmten Rillen ermöglicht eine optimale Kontaktierung der Litzen, insbesondere eine gasdichte Kontaktierung der Litzen, die mit linear verlaufenden Rillen nicht erzielt werden kann.This curved shape of the grooves with a curvature that continuously decreases from the center line 14 outward in the direction of the edge of the crimping wings 15a, 15b, optimal compression of strands in the crimping wings 15a, 15b is achieved. The curved arrangement of the grooves takes into account the fact that during crimping in the area of the center line 14 the crimping wings 15a, 15b only cover a short distance, whereas they cover a long distance in the outer area of the crimping wings 15a, 15b. This smaller path in the region of the center line 14 is taken into account by the greater slope of the grooves, whereas the larger path covered during crimping in the outer region of the crimping wings 15a, 15b is taken into account by the smaller slope. Crimping with the aid of these curved grooves enables optimal contacting of the strands, in particular gas-tight contacting of the strands, which cannot be achieved with linear grooves.

Die gekrümmt verlaufenden Rillen sind bevorzugt symmetrisch zur Mittellinie 14 ausgebildet. Es kann allerdings auch bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform vorgesehen sein, die Rillen unsymmetrisch auszubilden, also auf einem Crimpflügel Rillen mit einer anderen Steigung vorzusehen als auf dem anderen Crimpflügel. Die Rillen sind beispielsweise Einprägungen, Sicken und dergleichen, die in Richtung der Litzen vorspringen und so die Litzen pressen.The curved grooves are preferably designed symmetrically to the center line 14. However, it can also be provided in an alternative embodiment to design the grooves asymmetrically, that is to say to provide grooves with a different pitch on one crimping wing than on the other crimping wing. The grooves are, for example, impressions, beads and the like that protrude in the direction of the strands and thus press the strands.

Die Rillen beginnen bevorzugterweise an der Mittellinie 14 und erstrecken sich über die Crimpflügel 15a, 15b bis zu einem vorgegebenen Abstand vom Ende der Crimpflügel oder sogar bis zum Ende der Crimpflügel selbst.The grooves preferably begin at the center line 14 and extend over the crimping wings 15a, 15b to a predetermined distance from the end of the crimping wings or even to the end of the crimping wings themselves.
